How many resource officers does county need?

SROs increasingly at center of school-safety conversation

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three weeks after the May 7 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting, Douglas County rolled out a plan it says could provide 49 more school resource officers to local campuses in the next three years, bringing the total from 12 to 61.

The county has pledged $3 million a year to support the SROs, but the money is contingent on a 50% match from schools in the county.

Whether it receives the match remains to be seen, but the proposal has spurred conversation about the number of SROs needed in a county with 68,000 students in public schools and an estimated Nicholson3,000 in private schools.

Kluth “It’s kind of a difficult number because these things change constantly,” said Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth, noting new schools open and enrollments fluctuate.

The Douglas County SherINSIDE iff ’s Office has emphasized its belief in the SRO program.

Resource officers provide Turn to pages more than basic security, say 4-8 for officials, including Nicholsonmore on Kluth and Lt. Lori Bronner, school spokeswoman for the counsafety. ty’s SRO program.

All AFC clinics are designed, equipped, and staffed to provide accessible primary care, urgent care, and minor emergency treatment. The new Castle Rock AFC will serve patients seven days a week, and no appointments are necessary.

Owner of Castle Rock American Family Care About me I am a Colorado native who dreamed of going into medicine while growing up in Denver. I just opened a new American Family Care (AFC) in Castle Rock. The urgent care facility is at 5700 New Abbey Lane in the King Soopers shopping center. It is the ninth independently owned AFC in the Denver metro area.

My path to medicine I’ve had a passion for medicine since I was in about second grade. My parents moved to Denver in the late 1970s around the time of the Iranian Revolution. I was born here, and my entire family eventually moved to Denver.

As a child, I watched one of my grandparents cope with the longterm effects of a stroke. It was during this experience I realized I eventually wanted to figure out a way to help people get medical care.

Along the way, I was bitten by the business bug. While I started at the University of Colorado Denver as a pre-med student, I graduated with a business degree, a minor in marketing, and a triple minor in math, physics, and biology. I decided to join

Class of 2019

‘Never give up on your dreams’

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon High School math teacher Tony Koy had a simple charge for the Class of 2019: “Do something.”

Koy, who delivered the annual charge to the class, encouraged the graduates to take advantage of the time they have now.

“Two simple words that will be the main ingredient behind just about everything you do as a success or a failure in your life,” Koy said. “What you do isn’t necessarily important.

It’s the fact you set your mind to do something, and then you do it.”

A total of 556 Rock Canyon graduates received their diplomas May 24 at Magness Arena at the University of Denver.

Abigail McLain performed “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” Joshua Nogajewski played “Return to the Heart,” and Isabel Weiss finished with “The Light That Never Fails.”

Mikayla Devin delivered an address on facing challenges of high school.

“Even when things may seem impossible, continue to lead with your head, act with your heart and find the courage to do the right thing,” Devin said.

“Be kind, humble…and never give up on your dreams.”

School board seeks ‘collective vision’ on school safety No decision has been made on whether DCSD will accept county’s funding offer

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District Board of Education has not made a decision on whether it will accept millions of dollars in financial assistance from the board of county commissioners, according to the school board president.

School board members have concerns about stipulations of the proposal, which would put control of the funds in the hands of two committees with little DCSD representation and require an annual match from the district for a portion of the funds.

In a letter to the board of commissioners, the school board asked that the two entities unite “in building upon a collective vision of a comprehensive framework for school safety.”

At a May 28 meeting, commissioners voted to allocate $13.3 million toward school safety initiatives. The plan outlined an ongoing $3 million to fund 61 schools resource officers in the county by the 2021-22 school year, contingent on a 50% annual match from schools in the county, along with the formation of two committees that would dictate spending of a $10 million

one-time gift. County commissioners say possible ways to spend the money included entryway security and mental health programming.

The approval of the funds came exactly three weeks after a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured.

In a May 29 email response to an inquiry from Colorado Community Media, school board President David Ray said the board has not met to discuss the commissioners’ actions, nor discussed whether to accept or reject any funds.

Ray Ray later added by email that the district had “yet to receive an ‘official offer’ from the commissioners” and the matter was not on the June 4 school board meeting agenda.

Superintendent Thomas Tucker was not available for comment, nor was Rich Payne, the school district’s director of safety and security.

A strongly worded news release issued by the school district May 28, attributed to the board of education, seems to indicate the board would not accept the funds unless changes to the plan are made.

“With respect, the Commissioners were not elected to make decisions for our students, staff and schools in DCSD. We would be grateful for mone-

tary support, as well as support of any ballot initiatives (Mill Levy Override or Bond) in the future,” the release says. “It would be irresponsible, however, for our seven elected, volunteer board members to abdicate decision making responsibility for DCSD to the Douglas County Commissioners or any committees they may form.”

Roger Partridge, chairman of the board of commissioners, said he believes it is important for commissioners to retain control of how the $13.3 million is spent.

“I don’t believe those who elected us said we want you to hand over Partridge your authority,” Partridge said during the May 28 meeting.

Under the commissioners’ plan, a Physical School Safety and Protection Funding Committee would have nine members — five appointed by the county, two recommended by the school board and two by Douglas County law enforcement.

A Supportive Mental Health for Students Funding Committee would also have nine members — two representing the school district, one representing a charter or private school in the county, three representing the community and three appointed by the county.

The two committees would be charged with making recommenda-

BY THE NUMBERS

A look at how the Douglas County School District is using money approved by voters in November to enhance school security: • $250 million from a bond measure is funding new construction, programming and security improvements • $15 million of the $250 million is going toward building-security measures, such as locks and cameras • $12 million of that $15 million is going to neighborhood schools • $3 million of that $15 million is going to charter schools Source: Douglas County School District tions on how to spend the one-time gift of $10 million.

Commissioners said they intend to have the committees formed as soon as possible and expect a report back

by July 3, with the possibility of extending the deadline to July 15. They planned to send a formal letter to the school district requesting recommendations for the committees — who must be appointed by the board of commissioners — the week of May 27.

The board of education has expressed concern over the need for

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years.

I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably? The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is saddled with debt because of the reverse

mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

A look at the commissioners’ plan

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners recently rolled out a plan intended to enhance school security.

The $13.3 million plan, approved by commissioners May 28, is multi-pronged and includes both one-time and ongoing dollars.

Here’s a breakdown of the plan: • It puts $10 million in one-time spending toward physical security and mental health programming in schools. The board on May 28 established two, nine-member committees that will recommend how to spend the $10 million. They are expected to return with recommendations in July.

Commissioners’ first task following their May 28 decision was appointing people to the committees. The mental health committee will comprise two school district representatives, one charter or private school representative, three members appointed by the county and three recommended by the county’s Mental Health Initiative.

The physical safety committee will comprise five members appointed by the board of commissioners, two recommended by the school board and two recommended by law enforcement.

The committees’ recommenda-

Commissioner Abe Laydon said the tax dollars are available because of careful budgeting in previous years.

DCSD explores options for school resource officer funding

“This money is not from raising taxes or charging fees to our citizens,” he said.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? In early May, Douglas County announced it had located an available $10 million within its budget and intended to put it toward heightening school safety. By late May, that number was upped to $13.3 million and approved by commissioners in a unanimous vote on May 28 for school safety initiatives.

The original $10 million offer is set to come from county reserves, or general fund money from previous budgets tions must be formally approved by the board of commissioners and they will disband once the $10 million is used.

• The plan allocates $331,250 in ongoing funds to place a community response team (CRT) focused on children in the school system.

Douglas County already operates two CRTs, with plans to add a third this summer. One team already operates in Castle Rock and the other in unincorporated Douglas County. The Youth CRT would be the county’s fourth team and first directed solely at children and students.

The special law enforcement units partner an officer with a mental health clinician to handle calls with a mental health component.

The teams help stabilize people experiencing a mental health crisis

and connect them with resources, sometimes direct-admitting people from the field into care. The CRT’s overarching goal is to keep people in a mental health crisis out of jail and out of the emergency room.

In its first year, the CRTs came into contact with 499 people. They believe the teams diverted people from jail 53 times and from the emergency department 142 times.

• The plan pledges $3 million in ongoing funds to place 50 additional school resource officers (SROs) on county campuses, bringing the total up from 11 to 61. Douglas County Budget Director Martha Marshall said it would take three years to staff all 61 SROs. The $3 million is contingent on a 50% match from schools in the county. The total annual cost is estimated at $6 million.

such committees, pointing to the school district’s existing Safety and Security Committee, comprising building leaders, district administration, security personnel, mental health professionals and representatives from local law enforcement agencies and fire departments.

In the letter to county commissioners, the school board said its current security and mental health personnel are well-informed experts who continually research and respond to safety issues on a daily basis. It would not be possible for an advisory committee to have the same understanding in three weeks, the letter says.

“This committee continually evaluates the current status of our comprehensive school safety

speakers at a Highlands Ranch GOP Breakfast Club event.

Among the speakers May 31 was Parker resident Kory Nelson, chairman of the issue committee Keep Our Douglas County Schools Safe. He’d come to speak on a plan from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners to fund school

resource officers and discuss other ideas from his committee to support more SROs. Nelson’s wife is a teacher at Legacy Point Elementary School in Parker and his 15-year-old

framework, reviews researched based practices, consults without outside experts, and makes recommendations for improvement and enhancements to current practices and procedures,” Ray said in an email correspondence. “Adding additional advisory committees not only replicates efforts, but it also promotes `random acts,’ as opposed to continuing a focused, thoughtful and effective approach to a comprehensive plan for school safety.”

The commissioners’ plan to fund an ongoing $3.3 million for school resource officers, contingent on an annual 50% match from schools, has also spurred disagreement due to the inclusion of private schools, which account for roughly 10 percent of the county’s students.

“Channeling PUBLIC tax revenue to private entities will lead to loss of trust that tax revenue

is being spent as intended,” the school board’s letter to county commissioners says. “Adding private schools to your proposal complicates the process given that elected officials do not govern these schools. Nor are there public accountability measures for these schools.”

While the future of school safety in Douglas County is unclear, board members and district staff continue to thank voters for passing last November a $40 million mill levy override that is helping fund 80 counselors and a $250 million bond, of which $15 million is allocated for security at charter and neighborhood schools.

To keep “all our students safe,” the school board asked this of county commissioners in its letter: “Our simple request is to work WITH us as opposed to forging a separate path that may not be effective nor beneficial.”

SEE FUNDING, P8

The Douglas County Board of Education has expressed skepticism of the board of county commissioners’ proposal to fund an ongoing $3.3 million for additional school resource officers, in part because the district’s budget has already been prepared for the 2019-20 school year.

The commissioners’ plan would require schools to pay an annual 50% match for the SROs. “We do appreciate the Commissioners recommending that $10-13 million of taxpayer dollars be used to support PUBLIC school safety and mental health support,” a statement on behalf of the school board says. “However, asking recipients to show that they have `skin in the game’ by matching this funding not only exacerbates `competition for dollars’ but it is virtually impossible when plans for school budgets expenditures have already been committed. It is critical to distribute resources that will promote equity, as opposed to whether a school has matching financial resources.”

At a May 28 meeting — exactly three weeks after a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured — commissioners allocated $13.3 million toward school safety initiatives.

Their plan outlined an ongoing $3 million to pay for 61 schools resource officers in the county by the 2021-22 school year, contingent on the 50% annual match, along with the formation of two committees that would dictate spending of a $10 million one-time gift.

School board President David Ray said there has been no decision regarding the district’s ability to fund the 50% match for SROs, but that “district staff is in the process of developing some potential options for the board to consider.”

The district’s proposed budget for the 201920 school year will be presented to the board of education for approval at a board meeting beginning at 5 p.m. on June 18 at the district’s administration building, 620 Wilcox St., Castle Rock.

Board members have also expressed concerns about the terms of the commissioners’ proposal, which would provide SROs to not only traditional public schools and charter schools but also to private schools.

“I personally have great pause that you are including private schools in this conversation because this is public money, and we know we don’t give public money to private entities because we have no control over those,” school board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said at a May 23 study session with the board of commissioners.

County Commissioner Abe Laydon said the board consulted with county legal staff before including private schools in their proposal and concluded it was within their purview.

Commissioners said they remain optimistic.

They have yet to discuss what will happen if the school district declines their financial offer.

If the district does decline the money, Laydon expects members of the public “will have a lot to say about that.”

Sheriff’s office ended SRO deal with STEM STAFF REPORT

STEM School Highlands Ranch did not have a school resource officer this past academic year. Instead, the K-12 charter school contracted with a private security firm, and a guard was on campus during the May 7 shooting.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office opted not to renew its contract with STEM after the 2017-18 school year. During that final year of the contract, tension mounted between STEM and the sheriff ’s office, documents show.

Sheriff ’s office officials said they did not like that STEM was using the SRO largely to direct traffic.

The resource officer became ill toward the end of the school year, and STEM’s executive director, Penny Eucker, requested a credit for the months not served, according to emails released by the sheriff ’s office. But according to a report from Lt. Lori Bronner, who oversees Douglas County School District’s resource officers, the sheriff ’s office continued to provide services to the school through its SRO and Youth Education and Safety in Schools departments while the assigned SRO was on leave. Ultimately, the sheriff ’s office issued a refund to STEM of $6,731.50 for the four months the assigned SRO was absent.

During the 2017-18 school year, STEM and SkyView Academy, another Highlands Ranch charter school, split the services of the resource officer. Each school paid $26,925, the contract shows.

COUNTY FROM PAGE 1

Resource officers investigate threats, thwart planned violence before it occurs and build relationships between students and law enforcement, NicholsonKluth said. They are mentors, parent figures, coaches and resources for teachers, administrators and parents. The officers also watch out for mental health issues among students and connect them with help if needed.

“We believe that putting officers in schools acts as a prevention of violence,” Nicholson-Kluth said. “We feel that an SRO is not just an armed guard waiting for some type of attack.”

Mo Canady, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, said the previous school of thought was to place one SRO for every 1,000 students, but the organization now recommends schools take individual factors into consideration. That could include a building’s location, campus size and culture.

Most of Douglas County’s nine traditional high schools have at least 1,500 students, some more than 2,000. There is an SRO assigned to each of those high schools, but the resource officer also oversees

THE COST OF BRINGING IN AN ADDITIONAL SRO

In discussing bringing more school resource officers to Douglas County schools, county commissioners reviewed several funding scenarios in an effort to understand the cost of SROs. Martha Marshall, the county’s budget director, said in one example they determined the startup and ongoing costs when combined totaled $192,237 for a mid-level deputy position.

Within that figure, ongoing costs, like salary, benefits and training, were estimated to be approximately $120,605. One-time, startup costs for a new position were calculated at approximately $71,632. That would include expenses like uniforms, vehicles, radios and other equipment.

Those numbers can fluctuate, depending on factors like the rank of an officer or cost of equipment, officials say. the high school’s feeder middle school.

Nicholson-Kluth said the sheriff ’s office would like to reach a ratio of at least one SRO per 1,000 students. Following the May 28 meeting, she wouldn’t comment on the commissioners’ proposal of 61 SROs. But she did say the sheriff ’s office hopes to see at least 11 to 16 more SROs in the next year.

The sheriff ’s office began actively recruiting for those positions following the May 28

board of commissioners’ meeting and hope to fill most by the 2019-20 school year. That would allow every high school and middle school its own SRO. If the county does fulfill its vision of 61 SROs, NicholsonKluth said that could enable the sheriff ’s office to begin a broader sharing program that places SROs at the elementary school level.

She also hopes other law enforcement agencies in the county would help provide some of the additional officers.

At present, the Castle Rock Police Department provides two SROs and the Parker Police Department one. Each are considering adding more.

Roger Partridge, chairman of the board of county commissioners, said the county’s finance director determined funds were available for 61 SROs. Commissioners also kept in mind the number of schools — 91 — in the Douglas County School District.

“Our focus was to get as close to that number in terms of SRO coverage as possible,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said.

Commissioner Lora Thomas, a former member of the Colorado State Patrol, said the board is also open to ideas other than SROs, which can be costly.

“Having hired law enforcement people in the past,” Thomas said, “I know how hard it is and how expensive it is.”

Parker, Castle Rock police consider additional SROs

BY NICK PUCKETT AND JESSICA GIBBS STAFF WRITERS

The Parker and Castle Rock police departments are considering adding more school resource officers to some local schools but have yet to make a decision.

Presently, the Parker department provides one SRO, who covers Legend High School and Cimarron Middle School. Members of the public have asked the police department to provide numerous additional SROs, including at some elementary schools, said Josh Hans, the police department’s communications director. Some have asked for Legend High, which has an enrollment of nearly 2,200 students, to have two SROs. “The desire seems to outweigh the means to do so… It would wipe out our patrol staff to meet this new demand and it would be a very large financial commitment to put more school resource officers in schools,” Hans said. “We’re in discussion with the school district as far as funding with that. It is being discussed for the future, but we can’t say any have or haven’t been approved at this point.”

A spokesman said the Castle Rock Police Department provides two full-time SROs to schools in town.

One is assigned to Castle View High School and the other splits time between Mesa Middle School and Castle Rock Middle School.

The spokesman said Castle Rock’s department is in the early stages of considering more SROs and will know more about those plans this summer.

Adding SROs would cost a police department more than just the roughly $60,000 it takes to fund half an officer’s salary and benefits — the school district funds the other half — according to Hans. With more SROs in place, the Parker department would need, for example, more sergeants, supervisors and dispatchers.

“The STEM shooting here really seems to have jump-started the conversation on security in schools,” Hans said. “A large portion of one of the tax increases (last November) went to school safety, and they have a considerable amount of money put away in school safety.

But because of STEM there’s been a huge surge like we’ve never seen before.”

FUNDING FROM PAGE 6

daughter is a student at Legend High School.

As recently as late April, his committee was advocating for voters to extend 0.13% of the county’s 1% sales tax expected to sunset in 2020. The money is currently dedicated to capital projects related to public safety.

The hope was to convert the 0.13% to a school safety fund before it sunsets and extend it into perpetuity. Then, distribute the funds among law enforcement agencies to pay 100% of the cost for SROs. Since the late 1980s, schools and law enforcement agencies have split the cost of SROs in Douglas County roughly 50/50.

The committee’s focus has shifted slightly.

Following a May 7 shooting at STEM High School Highlands Ranch, county commissioners pledged $3 million toward funding dozens more SROs in the county. But the money is contingent on a 50% match from schools. The Douglas County School District’s board of education has said its budget for next year is set and a match can’t be easily found, if at all.

Nelson said his committee’s former proposal to put the

0.13% toward school safety remains an idea but the group’s focus is now on encouraging the school district to provide the $3 million match, which he believes DCSD can do.

“It’s about will and determination,” he said.

Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon said the board was encouraged to see Nelson’s committee support their plan.

“At this point, we’re very optimistic that the leaders in the community are going to come to the table to do the right thing by our citizens,” he said.

Not everyone at the GOP meeting was supportive of the committee’s proposal or commissioner’s offer of $3 million.

Franceen Thompson’s daughter was a senior at STEM during the May 7 tragedy and a friend to Kendrick Castillo, who was killed.

In regard to school security, she thinks all solutions should be on the table. Metal detectors, arming teachers if they are willing to carry, door alarms, improving school culture and funding SROs, to name some.

But Thompson said she doesn’t think county tax dollars should be put toward schools. The school district is its own taxing authority and county taxes would be better used on roads or mental health services for the entire community, she said.

Case against woman charged Nine years for driver who hit, killed motorcyclist near Sedalia in crash moves forward Deanna Bixby, 20, charged with vehicular homicide in Feb. 6 wreck

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Family and friends of a young couple killed in a February car crash following a police chase packed a Castle Rock courtroom during a hearing for the accused killer.

Deanna Bixby, 20, faces several charges in the Feb. 6 crash in Littleton that killed Ryan Carter, 27, and Jayne Davicsin, 25, including vehicular homicide, vehicular eluding resulting in death, possession of a weapon by a felon Bixby and trespassing with intent to commit a crime.

A judge ruled at the May 31 preliminary hearing that sufficient evidence exists to move the case forward to trial. Bixby’s arraignment, at which she will plead guilty or not guilty, is scheduled for July 8.

The hearing was taxing for Rod Carter, Ryan’s father, though he was heartened by the outpouring of support from those who knew Ryan.

“Ryan didn’t have an enemy in the world,” Carter said outside the hearing. “He was such a good friend to so many people, and it shows in this room. I didn’t ask anyone to come. They’re here out of love for Ryan.”

A Douglas County deputy patrolling a Castle Pines neighborhood encountered Bixby, driving a stolen Mitsubishi Lancer, and 24-year-old Mario Jose, driving a stolen Jeep, in the early hours of Feb. 6, testified Douglas County detective Michael Trindle, the lead investigator in the case. When the deputy attempted to pull the Jeep over, both vehicles took off going north on Highway 85 near Daniels Park Road.

Bixby evaded several police roadblocks by driving north in southbound traffic lanes, and was going more than 100 mph when she collided with a white Subaru at Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, instantly killing Davicsin SEE BIXBY, P10

Ronald Hargrove, 49, was sentenced for killing Suzanne Weston, 69, of Parker

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Parker man was sentenced to nine years in prison for hitting and killing a motorcyclist in Sedalia in 2017.

Ronald Hargrove, 49, was sentenced May 28 for the Class 3 felony — leaving the scene of an accident involving death — in which Suzanne Weston, 69, also of Parker, was killed, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District.

“You chose to take the risk of getting behind the wheel,” Judge David Stevens told Hargrove during sentencing. “Everyone who was on the roadway that day was put at risk — the numbers caught up with you.”

Hargrove was driving with a revoked license and no sleep, according to the release. Hargrove had two previous DUI convictions but “violated out” of substance abuse programs. Hargrove also had low levels of alcohol, THC and prescription medications in his system, according to the release.

“Yet another driver who somehow feels that driving is a right, and not a privilege,”

District Attorney George Brauchler said in the news release. “This man shouldn’t have been behind the wheel — let alone after consuming alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs. But he made an irresponsible, selfish decision, and he cut short the life of Suzanne Weston.”

According to the news release: On Oct. 12, 2017, Weston was riding her motorcycle single file with three other motorcyclists on northbound U.S. 85 in Douglas County. The riders moved into the left-turn only lane and slowed to wait for a green light to run onto Colorado 67 toward Sedalia. Weston was last in line.

A 2010 Dodge Ram pickup driven by Hargrove was northbound on U.S. 85.

The truck went from the right lane into the left turn lane and cut off other witnesses in a separate vehicle on scene.

The truck hit Weston and continued off the right side of the southbound lanes, through a ditch, onto the frontage road.

Hargrove got out of his truck, walked over to Weston lying in the road, then got back in the truck and continued driving on the frontage road, eventually heading southbound on 85.

Witnesses got the license plate number.

Hargrove was pulled over and arrested by a Douglas County deputy a short time later. Hargrove admitted to fleeing the scene of the crash because there were warrants for his arrest. His driving privileges in Colorado were suspended at the time.

How a Money Coach can change your life W

e just celebrated Memorial Day as a country. It’s a time-out for us to remember those who sacrificed everything for the free freedoms we enjoy.

Nelisha Firestone

However, I’d say most of us aren’t living freely; at least not when it comes to our money. Money is a tool…period. If used correctly it can help transform your life in meaningful ways by reaching goals that have more meaning in life.

The problem is we give money too much power over our lives. The range of emotions tied to money is vast from: shame, guilt, and embarrassment to happiness, joy, and contentment. The difference in the two attitudes is not how much money you make; it’s the unconscious relationship you have with money based on learned experiences from the past.

Have you ever seen the show The Biggest Loser? All of the contestants have reached a breaking point. They are desperate to kick old habits to initiate lasting change in their lives. Outside of the grueling workouts, much time is spent exploring the psychology around how they got to this point in the first place. You see, change doesn’t happen until you get to the root of the problem. How do you do that with money?

Just recently, I discovered the practice of Money Coaching through a book called Money Magic written by Deborah Price.

The purpose of the book is to help you explore the great mysteries of money and find your own path to a new relationship with it. She does this by identifying your money type. Money types are based on “archetypal” patterns, consisting of unconscious habits, thoughts, or beliefs; that are active in every per-

son’s life. This book will help you discover how your money type influence’s your financial decisions.

Learning to identify and work with your money type is a magical and revealing process. It is the key to transforming your relationship with money and the decisions you make thereby improving your life.

might just lead to a better society for all of us.

Money is the driving force behind so many societal issues: stress, divorce, debt, crime, depression, suicide… the list goes on. These issues are present at all levels of wealth, meaning that the issue has less to do with how much you have, and more about the relationship we have with our money. If we can better manage that relationship, it

Teacher who drew attention for social media comments resigns Michelle Grissom had been on paid leave since January

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Douglas County middle school teacher who was put on paid leave earlier this year after garnering national attention for comments posted on social media has reached an agreement with the school district.

Michelle Grissom, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch, has resigned effective May 1 and will receive $25,000, the school district confirmed, in addition to 14 weeks of paid time off.

Grissom was put on paid leave Jan. 23 after her Jan. 20 tweet claimed a Kentucky teenager participated in a controversial rally in Washington, D.C. The post referred to the student as training to be part of the “Hitler Youth.”

The student Grissom mentioned by name, however, was not actually at the rally.

The nature of Grissom’s comments drew anger from many parents and community members.

At a Feb. 5 school board meeting, Douglas County Superintendent Thomas Tucker

formally recommended Grissom’s termination. Under Colorado law, Grissom was allowed to request a hearing on the basis of her termination before a hearing officer, who would make a recommendation to the school board, according to a statement from Tucker at the time. The dismissal process would be ongoing and the school district would not provide further comment, Tucker said.

The school district has reached an agreement with Grissom, in which Grissom will not seek future employment with DCSD and has released any current or future claims she may have against the school district, a statement from Tucker says.

In return, the district agreed to withdraw its dismissal proceedings and pay Grissom the $25,000, approximately what she would otherwise have been entitled to under Colorado law, and a small portion of the cost of the hearing while the dismissal proceedings continued, according to Tucker’s statement.

“We believe the agreement is in the best interest of the Douglas County School District as it addresses our community’s concerns regarding Ms. Grissom’s continued employment, avoids the distraction of the ongoing dismissal litigation, and ends the continued expense and uncertainty involved in the teacher dismissal process,” Tucker said in the statement.

and Carter, Trindle testified.

Bixby was hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash, and is being held in the Douglas County jail on a $1 million dollar bond.

The Jeep was later recovered abandoned in a residential neighborhood.

Jose was arrested days later in Denver and faces four felony counts: aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, trespassing and violating bail bond conditions.

Responding officers say they found a loaded handgun and a stolen wallet in the Mitsubishi Bixby was driving, which had been stolen two days earlier in Aurora. Bixby had methamphetamine in her blood

at the time of the crash, Trindle testified.

Bixby’s older sister Jane Bixby made headlines in Littleton in 2017 when she hit a Littleton police officer with a stolen car. Both Bixby sisters were later apprehended, along with several other people, as part of a smash-and-grab robbery of a cell phone store in August 2017. Both sisters pleaded guilty to charges related to the robbery.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock defended his department’s chase policy in the days after the crash, which allows deputies to pursue vehicles they believe are stolen or are driving erratically. Douglas County deputies also faced questions for not notifying Littleton Police that the chase was approaching Littleton until almost the moment of the crash.

‘It’s all about community’

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One by one or in groups, cyclists coasted down a hill on Highway 83 and descended into Castle Rock and the finish line June 2 during the annual Elephant Rock Ride. The easy ride into Franktown was a chance for the cyclists to catch their breath and enjoy the view of Pike’s Peak on a cloudless morning. About eight more miles along 86 and they would finish before some rolled out of bed on the Sunday morning.

“The best part of this are the views you get,” said Jack Cyrus, a 63-yearold from Castle Rock.

From Elephant Rock in Monument to the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock, cyclists took over the roads throughout El Paso, Douglas and Elbert counties.

The 30-year-old event drew more than 5,000 riders for one of the biggest cycling events of the year in Colorado.

Participants could choose to ride from three road courses of 40, 58 and 100 miles, two gravel routes of 27 and 60 miles and an 8-mile family ride.

As riders finished at the fairgrounds, they enjoyed beer, food and music at the riders-dream expo.

“It’s all about community,” said Rodger Hauch, 27, of Centennial. “It’s a chance for riders to celebrate the season with each other.”

Cyclists bike uphill on North Ridge Road June 2 during the Elephant Rock Ride, which has a series of routes through and around Douglas, Elbert and El Paso counties.

VOICES Essentially, some of these claims seem pretty oily

ome jokes about oil are too crude for my taste.

But seriously. While I was waiting for my prescripQUIET tion to be filled by DESPERATION the pharmacist, I waited in a small area that was shelf after shelf of remedies, ointments, potions, lotions, candles, salts and emollients.

One display had a palette of what are called “essential Craig Marshall oils.”

Smith The word “essen-

tial” intrigued me, because it means “absolutely necessary,” and I realized at that moment I might have been neglecting my essentials.

Harry and Jennifer are my primary essentials. After that come music, painting and black-and-white films, like “The 39 Steps.”

My car considers oil an essential.

Likewise, my lawn mower. But me? No. Oh, well, there’s olive oil, and peanut and sunflower, and I appreciate them, but I could live without them.

When I got home, I looked up “essential oils” and saw the word “aromatherapy,” and held on to the armrests of my chair.

That word scares me.

One site (aromatherapyassociates.

com) says, “Find a moment to yourself to create the perfect therapeutic ambiance with a bath and shower oil and enjoy a moment of mindfulness to find balance. Experience the full ritual with other aromatherapy products such as candles or pure essential oils on a burner to create perfect surroundings.”

Then it adds, “We use cookies to make your experience better.”

Here’s a thought: Forget all that other claptrap, and just bake some cookies, and you will have all the therapy you need.

Modern life is saturated with alternatives to simply relying on given instincts and abilities to subsist. I know.

I have tried: alcohol, caffeine and pie.

The starts and stops of life deserve attention

lthough the summer doesn’t officially begin until June 20, we often talk about Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of the summer.

Parties, barbeques, picnics, and all sorts of outdoor activity quickly move us from thinking about winter WINNING and spring and WORDS launch us right into summertime.

Unofficial starts are good, any “start” is good.

Even companies launching a new product, or a startup company may do something called a “soft launch” prior Michael Norton to bringing their products and services to the market.

Again, any kind of “start” or “soft launch” is good, it gets us started, gets us going, energizes everyone involved.

Here we are celebrating the unofficial start of summer, in October and November, depending on snowfall, we get excited over the unofficial start to winter as the first lifts open and we get back on the hill.

It’s fun, its energizing, the “starts” in life motivate us and inspire us as we look forward with great anticipation to what is coming next.

What about the unofficial stops in life? The soft stops? Those pauses where we say or believe that we just need to take a short break from our goals or projects?

In most cases we know what happens don’t we? Those unofficial stops and soft stops turn in to official stops and hard stops.

We never intend for this to happen, we just seem to run out of gas, or our interest fades, or we move on to the next new thing in our path or life.

Where unofficial starts and soft launches are both really good, we have to be aware and careful of those unofficial stops and soft stops. We start a new workout and commit ourselves to the program.

We are doing a really good job, getting there on the days we committed to being there, we are feeling really good, and then all of a sudden we think we should take a day off, then a second day, and then a third and before we know it, our soft stop or temporary break from the gym becomes a hard stop and we are done.

Music makes for a healthier brain and life

any of us have spoken about the benefits of music with common sayings such as “Music is the universal language” or “Music soothes the soul.” Anyone who enjoys listening to music can testify that music can make you feel good!

As we age, engaging LIVING AND in musical activities can also help keep our AGING WELL brains as healthy as possible. Music neuroscientists have been studying the effect of music on the brain for decades and their work has helped us to learn exactly how and why music can help.

Let’s investigate a few Sarah Thompson of the ways that we can see music working in our lives.

Music and memory: Music is a very robust stimulus for our brains! Individuals in the late stages of Alzheimer’s or dementia often forget the names of their loved ones, yet they typically still remember music that they like. In these situations, music that is specifi-

cally chosen for that individual can give loved ones a way to have a meaningful connection when their loved one has limited ability to interact. We can often see people who don’t usually speak or remember things from their past suddenly singing along to favorite songs from long ago. Neuroscience research has helped us to understand that this is possible because areas of the brain that process musical memory may be some of the last areas of the brain to degenerate during the disease process.

Music and movement: Some of us may hear an upbeat song and naturally start tapping our toes. Music, or more specifically, rhythm is processed in the areas of our brain that are also responsible for motor movement. So, rhythm can naturally make us want to move! Research shows that people often exercise longer and put in more effort when they exercise with music.

Exercise is an important activity for healthy aging and adding some music can maximize the physical benefits you get from exercise while making it feel like less effort.

Music and well-being: You may have seen one of the stories in the media

order to be great.” - Zig Ziglar So, whether it’s an unofficial start or your own soft launch for anything you desire or wish to pursue, it’s a start.

And a start is good, a start is powerful, and nothing happens until we start.

No matter what time of year it is and whatever unofficial start it might be, it’s time that we start to dream, start to imagine, start to take action, and start to live out all that we want to be, do, and have in this world.

So how about you? Are you in start and go mode? Or have you let a little soft stop become a hard stop?

Either way, I would love to hear your “start” story at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we turn our unofficial starts and soft launches into full on pursuit of our goals and dreams, it really will be a better than good week.

FROM PAGE 14

We know that we want to write a book, create music, or start a business. We have an unofficial start as we brainstorm ideas, get energized, and just become completely consumed with our passion and our ideas.

It’s awesome because we started, we took the first steps, our adrenaline is pumping and we can’t wait to keep going.

And this is when we really have to keep our guard up, because here is where negative thinking or negative people will talk us out of fulfilling our dream.

And if we allow this to happen, our energy and passion train gets slows down, and our soft stop eventually becomes a hard stop leaving our dreams unfulfilled.

Community music groups can offer an opportunity for people of all ability levels to get involved.

Making music uses many different parts of our brain, and studies show that musicians seem to be somewhat protected from the natural cognitive decline that can come with aging, possibly due to the benefits of making music.

If you are looking for activities that can help to keep you healthy as you age, consider including music listening or music making in your regular routine.

Where to go for outdoor fun in and near the city

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or adventurers, Colorado offers fourteeners, national forests and famous sand dunes, but if you live in the Denver metro area and aren’t fond of hours-long drives, the state is still home to many places where you can escape city life.

“It depends on what you’re looking for,” said Lauren Truitt, Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman, about state parks.

“With Cherry Creek, you forget there’s city all around you. Roxborough has that stunning, vista-style view that looks over Denver and south to Castle Rock.”

And Barr Lake, up north near Brighton, is still less than an hour away from much of the rest of the metro area — out on the eastern plains but still boasting a “phenomenal view of the whole northern mountain range,” Truitt said.

More getaways sit in your backyard. Here’s a look at nearby state, federal and local stops and the kinds of eclectic activities they offer.

Cherry Creek State Park The massive park located between Aurora, Denver and the Centennial area isn’t just about its reservoir.

The park also allows camping, a shooting range and even rides on horses that parkgoers can rent, Truitt said. Enthusiasts can also fly model airplanes there, and, of course, the reservoir is open for fishing, she added.

Cherry Creek State Park is located along Interstate 225 and along South Parker Road.

Chatfield State Park South of Littleton along C-470 and South Santa Fe Drive, Chatfield offers fishing, model-airplane flying and camping. Horses are available for rent, and riding lessons and hayrides are also part of the fun, Truitt said.

TIPS FOR PARENTS AND KIDS The basics of enjoying Colorado’s parks include bringing sunscreen, layers, water, snacks and good closed-toe shoes.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen kiddos wearing flip-flips on hikes,” said Lauren Truitt, Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman.

But make sure they’re still comfortable, Truitt said, especially for small kids.

“As long as they’re comfy, they’re usually happy to keep going.”

It’s important not to take young kids on outings that are too grueling, Truitt said.

“Take your time, have fun and enjoy the time,” Truitt said.

Many items from Generation Wild’s List of 100 Things to Do outside could be knocked out at parks in the metro area, according to Great Outdoors Colorado, a state organization that created the program.

That list is located at www.generationwild.com/the-list.

Barr Lake State Park Northeast near Interstate 76 and E-470 sits Barr Lake State Park, where you can try your hand at archery.

A character study: Pop Culture Con in photos

T

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER

he name might have changed this year, but Denver Pop Culture Con was as brash and big as ever. Taking place at the Convention Center from May 31 through June 2, thousands of geeks, nerds, collectors and fans turned out to honor the writers, artists, actors and creators who have brought geek culture into the mainstream.

Famous onscreen performers from Doctor Who, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Magicians” and “Back to the Future” were on hand to take photos and sign autographs, and hundreds of booths allowed for shopping, collecting and connection with fellow fans.

As is always the case, one of the main draws was cosplayers, who impressed with tributes to expected characters and series - plenty of Doctor Who, Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Marvel - as well as some delightful surprises like some choice “Big Lebowski” characters, several different species of dinosaurs and Barf from “Spaceballs.”

Dusty and Shaun Pack and Katrina Kendall came all the way from Wyoming to enjoy the con and showed off some seriously impressive Dragonball Super cosplay.

“Last year was around Father’s Day and this year’s con is right at the end of the school year,” Dusty said. “It’s a great way to celebrate.”

Entire groups of family and friends get in on the cosplay act at Denver Pop Culture Con on June 1.

Though this year the name changed to Denver Pop Culture Con, comics are still the keystone of the annual event. As day two gets underway, early shoppers at one of the many comic vendors search out new books for their collections.

From left, Dusty Pack as Goku, Shaun Pack as Gohan and Katrina Kendall as Chi-Chi, all from Dragonball Super.

The trio came from Wyoming for the second year in a row to enjoy the cosplay. at Denver Pop Culture Con.

Three-year-old Greyson Cabrera from Aurora had his first cosplayer experience at Denver Pop Culture Con on June 1. He also had the chance to meet some of his favorite heroes, like Spiderman.

Roxborough guest is kind of a big deal Big Foot hopes to make impression about leaving no trace

IF YOU GO Roxborough State Park is at 4751 E. Roxborough Drive, in the Roxborough area southwest of Littleton. All state parks have an admission charge — $8 a day at Roxborough (per car). If no one is at the gate, use the credit card machine at the entrance. Or get an annual pass for $80 and visit all our parks in the system, including the very beautiful Castlewood Canyon State Park near Franktown and close-by Chatfield State Park. While Roxborough and Castlewood are daytime use only, many others have camping facilities.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Word has it that Big Foot will walk about in Roxborough State Park on June 8 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) on a mission to remind visitors to “Leave No Trace” at this gorgeous nearby spot in Douglas County.

Volunteers Mike Thomas of Centennial and Sally Anderson, interpretive services manager Angel Tobin and others have joined forces to share the principles of the Leave No Trace movement, which started as an effort to convince backcountry users to leave a place as clean as they found it. The emphasis has moved to all open space, everywhere (aka “Front Country”).

Thomas, an optimistic and positive man, next hopes to spread the idea to other state parks and eventually to all parks — everywhere … (The legendary Big Foot leaves only footprints in the landscape.) Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics is a nationally recognized organization established in Boulder.

Volunteers hope the program will minimize the negative impacts on Roxborough’s unique geology, with rock formations that include up-

Roxborough State Park’s distinctive geological formations may astonish Big Foot when he visits on June 8.

PHOTO BY MICHAEL THOMAS thrusts of red rock, hiking trails for almost all capabilities, diverse flora and fauna and spectacular vistas.

They also hope it will minimize what Thomas called “social trails” (those created off-trail by visitors).

“Big Foot Goin’ to Rock the Rox” will include games, hikes, Big Foot sightings, photo ops and other activities that teach the Leave no Trace principles — which should apply to all who enjoy the “Front Country” as well: • Plan ahead and prepare.

• Travel and camp on durable surfaces.

• Dispose of waste properly.

• Minimize campfire impacts.

• Leave what you find.

• Respect wildlife.

• Be considerate of other visitors.

In addition to Big Foot’s presence from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s “Talon” will be on hand — and Robin Roberts from Sasquatch Investigations of the Rockies.

Big Foot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape, the Grassman are all legendary types who inhabit the imaginary worlds where Big Foot originates.

We greatly enjoyed a recent golf cart tour with Thomas and Anderson on the Fountain Valley Trail at Roxborough, which is a day-use-only site with a program of hikes, bird walks and events that emphasize the park’s truly unique geological features. See the website at cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/Roxborough for information and to pre-register for specific programs. Cart tours are scheduled at times for those who are not able to hike, but access the trails if possible — they vary in length and are really special.

Nine different routes are shown i on the park map, ranging from easy e through moderate to strenuous.

Check at the visitors center before t you launch … and for information t about wildlife watching. (Bring bin- m oculars.) h Wildlife includes a variety of birds, mule deer (we noted them contenti edly grazing near the entrance), blacka bears, mountain lions, bobcats, gold- H en eagles and more. A flock of turkey a vultures circled above a high red rock b wall as we drove by. Birdsongs were h numerous and varied.

Roxborough is a designated Colo- f v rado Natural Area and National r Natural Landmark, with its 300 million-year-old red sandstone Foun- f s tain Formations that tilt at a 60-degree angle.

Thomas recommends that if all pos- h sible, readers plan their visits during the week, since weekends become quite crowded.

Roxborough Rambles, the newsletter, is available at the visitors center desk — and online. It details upcoming programs such as the recent Wildflower Weekend and, for early birds, timing for sunrise park openings (5 a.m. on June 22 is next.)

Concert to raise awareness for equine-assisted therapy Scott Helmert show highlight of Eagle’s Nest Ranch celebration STAFF REPORT

A performer who holds the record for the most live music performances in 24 hours will perform June 22 to help Eagle’s Nest Ranch celebrate its five-year anniversary of offering equine-assisted therapy.

Singer, songwriter, musician and talk radio host Scott Helmer holds the Guinness World Record holder for most live music performances in 24 hours (multiple cities).

As part of his year-long charity concert tour to raise money and awareness for equine-assisted therapy, Helmer will bring his “One-Man Rock and Country Music Show” to Elizabeth.

Since 2012, his fundraising concerts have raised more than $2 million for causes ranging from military veterans, suicide prevention, firstresponders, pet and animal rescues, food banks, historic places, those with special needs and more.

Eagle’s Nest Ranch is for people and horses to interact, build trust and ex-

perience growth, according to a news release.

Eagle’s Nest Ranch provides one-onone interactive sessions with a horse and sessions are offered free.

The ranch was founded by Suzy MacKenzie and serves adults and children who experience the invisible wounds of life. The ranch’s Healing Horses for the Armed Forces program serves the military community and its Soaring program serves all others. The ranch also provides support for firstresponders.

“No matter what difficult or painful events we have experienced, there is always hope,” MacKenzie said in the release. “Horses can help us regain what was lost.”

Activities include the Blazing Saddles Drill Team, hayrides, a silent auction, horses, food, and an appearance by the Veteran Monster Truck by Wilson Extreme Sports Company.

The celebration begins at 4 p.m. at the ranch, 36998 Timber Drive, Elizabeth. Tickets cost $25 for adults, $20 for ages 13-17, and free for ages 12 and younger.

Food is included in the ticket price.

All proceeds benefit the ranch. Learn more at https://eaglesnestranch. z2systems.com/np/clients/eaglesnestranch/event.jsp?event=72&.

Tour brings world’s largest bounce house to area STAFF REPORT

Three massive inflatable attractions will bounce into Denver’s south metro area in June at the Big Bounce America tour at Meridian Park in northern Douglas County.

The world’s largest bounce house, according to Guinness World Records, is the featured attraction. The bounce castle includes a basketball court, a giant slide and a massive ball pit, and at the center is a DJ playing nightclubquality sound and lights.

Making its 2019 tour debut is The Giant, a 900-plus-foot-long inflatable obstacle course designed with all ages in mind. The Giant offers more than 50 obstacles that will have participants weaving in and out of barriers, hurdling over inflatables, crawling through tubes and climbing walls before descending the final slide at the finish line.

Additionally, guests will enjoy the new airSPACE, a 25-foot-tall space themed spectacle that includes a fiveperson slide and a 50-foot-wide play space for younger bouncers. The inflatable is filled with friendly aliens, spaceships, giant planets, moon craters, and more.

GETAWAY

THERE’S AN APP FOR PARKS The State of Colorado offers a free app called Colorado Trail Explorer, or COTREX, which it touts as “the most comprehensive trail map available for the state.”

“You can kind of tailor the hike you want to go on — it’ll bring up options,” such as for something dog-friendly, said Lauren Truitt, Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman.

You can see trails by allowed uses on the map and download offline maps for viewing in areas without cell service.

FROM PAGE 16

“Barr Lake is fantastic for bird watching,” Truitt said. “They have a concessionaire that can rent canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.

They have a great little river walk to look at eagle’s nests.”

The park includes trails for horses, but visitors must bring their own, Truitt said. Fishing is also allowed.

Roxborough State Park Located a few minutes south of Chatfield, Roxborough offers trails for every level of hiker, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s website.

“It’s got that beautiful red-rock formation that goes straight through the park,” Truitt said. Distinct plant life, as well as wildlife ranging from black bears to mule deer, add to the atmosphere.

And while the park is “extremely well-visited,” it’s one of the few state parks in the nation that has a gold standard recognition by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, Truitt said. That organization encourages visitors to leave natural areas “as good or better” than they found them, according to its website.

“The park feels remote,” Truitt said.

Castlewood Canyon State Park East of Castle Rock near Franktown sits Castlewood Canyon State Park, where climbers and hikers can get their fill of another area along the Cherry Creek.

Kids engage in archery at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

The park “has great hiking trails,” Truitt said. “It’s busy, but not as busy as Cherry Creek or Chatfield.”

A natural amphitheater and the Bridge Canyon Overlook gazebo at the edge of the canyon serve as places for weddings or other outdoor ceremonies, and the park also offers picnic areas, according to the parks and wildlife site.

Some seasonal closures affect where climbing is allowed. See cpw.state. co.us/placestogo/parks/Castlewood-

Canyon for information. The park sits along State Highway 83.

In the middle of the city If you’re looking to stay even closer to home, Crown Hill Park in the Wheat Ridge area typically has decent bird-watching opportunities, said Rosemary Dempsey, spokeswoman for Great Outdoors Colorado.

“I just discovered Cherry Knolls park,” said Dempsey, whose organization oversees a state trust fund to protect Colorado’s natural areas.

“It’s got a trail going through it, but the most awesome thing is the creek with plenty of sandbars for the kids to splash around in.”

Cherry Knolls is located in west Centennial near South University Boulevard. And in the middle of Denver proper, City Park — not far outside downtown — offers views of the mountains and city buildings, Dempsey said.

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Sporting a strange name for a wildlife region, Rocky Mountain Arsenal is larger than many cities in the metro area.

Following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army converted the land into a chemical weapons manufacturing facility to support World War II, according to the refuge’s website. Congress designated the site as a national wildlife refuge in the early 1990s.

Located in the Commerce City area north of Interstate 70, the refuge offers “wildlife viewing and urban escapes,” Dempsey said.

Visitors can take a self-guided drive in their cars to watch wildlife on the land, a sanctuary for more than 330 species of animals, including bison, black-footed ferrets, deer, coyotes, bald eagles and burrowing owls, its website says.

It also offers 10 miles of hiking trails — and it’s free.

Other getaways For enjoyable views, William F. Hayden Park on Green Mountain — in Lakewood along C-470 — and North Table Loop Trailhead in the Golden area along State Highway 93 are notable spots, Dempsey said.

Inspiration Point Park, near I-70 and North Sheridan Boulevard, also overlooks a steep drop in elevation.

Fighting ‘zombie cells’ may help slow aging Research remains to be done, but scientists cite promising signs

BY MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Call them zombie cells — they refuse to die.

As they build up in your body, studies suggest, they promote aging and the conditions that come with it like osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers are studying drugs that can kill zombie cells and possibly treat the problems they bring.

Basically the goal is to fight aging itself, which hopefully will in turn delay the appearance of age-related disease and disabilities as a group, says geriatrics specialist Dr. James Kirkland of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

That’s in contrast to playing a “whack-a-mole game” of treating one disease only to see another spring up, he said.

The research has been done chiefly in mice. Earlier this year, the first test in people was published and provided some tantalizing results.

Zombie cells are actually called senescent cells. They start out normal but then encounter a stress, like damage to their DNA or viral infec-

tion. At that point, a cell can choose to die or become a zombie, basically entering a state of suspended animation.

The problem is that zombie cells release chemicals that can harm nearby normal cells. That’s where the trouble starts.

What kind of trouble? In mouse studies, drugs that eliminate zombie cells — so-called senolytics — have been shown to improve an impressive list of conditions, such as cataracts, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, enlargement of the heart, kidney problems, clogged arteries and age-related loss of muscle.

Mouse studies have also shown a more direct tie between zombie cells and aging. When drugs targeting those cells were given to aged mice, the animals showed better walking speed, grip strength and endurance on a treadmill.

Even when the treatment was applied to very old mice, the equivalent of people ages 75 to 90, it extended lifespan by an average of 36 percent.

Researchers have also shown that transplanting zombie cells into young mice basically made them act older: Their maximum walking speed slowed down, and their muscle strength and endurance decreased.

Tests showed the implanted cells converted other cells to zombie status.

Kirkland and colleagues this year published the first study of a

zombie-cell treatment in people. It involved 14 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a generally fatal disease that scars the lining of the lungs.

Risk rises with age, and the lungs of patients show evidence of zombie cells.

In the preliminary experiment, after three weeks of treatment, patients improved on some measures of physical fitness, like walking speed. Other measures did not show improvement.

Overall, the results are encouraging and “it really raises enthusiasm to proceed with the more rigorous studies,” said Dr. Gregory Cosgrove, chief medical officer of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, who played no role in the study.

The field of zombie cells is still young. But Kirkland estimates at least a dozen companies have formed or have launched efforts to pursue treatments.

He holds shares in one.

Apart from age-related diseases, anti-zombie drugs might be useful for treating premature aging among cancer survivors that brings on the early appearance of some diseases, said Laura Niedernhofer of the University of Minnesota.

Some of these drugs have been approved for other uses or are even sold as supplements.

But Niedernhofer and Kirkland

stress that people should not try them on their own, nor should doctors prescribe them, for the uses now under study because more research has to be done first.

Niedernhofer said the best drugs may be yet to come. The goal is not to prevent stressed cells from turning into zombies, she said, because they may become cancerous instead. The aim is to trigger death of cells that have already transformed, or to limit the harm they do.

And what about giving them to healthy people who want to ward off aging? That’s possible but a long way off, after studies have established that the drugs are safe enough, she said.

“We may not get there,” Kirkland said.

In any case, experts are impressed by the research so far.

“I think this is very exciting,” said Dr. George Kuchel of the University of Connecticut Center on Aging in Farmington. The results from animal studies are “very spectacular.

It’s very compelling data.”

Nir Barzilai, a researcher of aging at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said he believes targeting zombie cells will play a role in the overall effort to delay, stop and maybe reverse aging.

So much research suggests they promote aging that “we know that it should be true,” he said.

June 6, 2019 Chris Maunu, choir director at Arvada West High School, hoped the piece “A Hive of Frightened Bees” would make a positive contribution to the conversation around ending gun violence. “This can get people thinking and talking about the topic in a responsible way,” he said.

‘Passion behind what we were singing’ Song written by student performed for the first time to honor shooting victims

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

ay 10 was a day of firsts for choir teacher Chris Maunu as he directed a piece that was full of challenges, changed at the last minute and unusually captivating for the audience.

“When we performed, the audience was absolutely silent — there was no shuffling around, no checking the program,” said the Arvada West High School choir director.

“I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The piece, “A Hive of Frightened Bees,” focuses on the fear students face as gun violence becomes more prevalent within schools. Arvada West’s Company West choir performed the song for the first time at its concerts on May 10 and 11.

The song’s lyrics come from a poem written last year in an Arvada West class by former student Taylor Huntley. Huntley wrote her poem, “A Hope for Change,” in response to a violent threat written on one of the school’s bathroom walls. The threat was written just after 17 died in a school shooting in Parkland, Fla. “There was a lot of trauma and frustration that the students had to live in fear at school,” Maunu said.

He added that the threat took an emotional toll on the community as, after being discovered in the late afternoon, the threat was not fully investigated and dismissed until the next morning.

Huntley proceeded to draft her poem and share it with her choir class, leading Maunu to post the poem in a Facebook group for choir directors. He was soon approached

FOR MORE INFORMATION

by Andrea Ramsey, a composer and music educator, To learn more about who said she choral music program at Arvada West wanted to put the words to High School, visit sites.google.com/a/ music.

Maunu jeffcoschools.us/ agreed, dearvada-west-choir ciding with Ramsey that the Company West choir would be the first group to perform the piece.

The choir performed just days after the May 7 incident at STEM School Highlands Ranch, in which one was killed and eight were injured. The tragedy prompted Maunu and Ramsey to edit the piece at the last minute, adding the name of the STEM School to a list of schools which the choir recited at the end of the piece.

Company West, made up of sophomores, juniors and seniors, has spent more than two months rehearsing the piece, Maunu said.

He added that he allocated about 60 percent of the class’s daily rehearsal time to the piece, finding that the technical and emotional aspects of the song warranted extra rehearsal time.

“It was more difficult than what we usually do,” he said. “The vocal parts are more complex, and we spent a lot of time in discussion about the topic.”

Kaylee Nguyen, a senior at Arvada West, said the emotional nature of the piece played a role not only in rehearsals but also in the performances.

“There were moments on stage when I had to bring myself back and not let the emotions weigh me down,” she said, “but I think the emotions helped, because there was passion behind what we were singing.”

She added that she and her peers had been looking forward to sharing the song with the community.

“I think over the entire choir, even though it was something new and scary, we were definitely willing to try it,” she said.

“Choir is so connective by its nature. It’s one of the best places to approach different topics,” Maunu

said. “The kids have had some really healing conversations.”

Maunu said he may assign the piece to other choirs in the future and that any choir director in the country can now use the piece.

As for the first performance, he felt the long hours of rehearsal paid off in the moments at the end of the concert.

“There was an epic standing ovation that seemed to last several minutes,” he said. “I think this can get people thinking and talking about the topic in a responsible way.”

New diabetes cases fall as obesity rates on the rise Apparent paradox may be tied to changes in diagnosis, early intervention measures

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The number of new diabetes cases among U.S. adults keeps falling, even as obesity rates climb, and health officials aren’t sure why.

New federal data released May 28 found the number of new diabetes diagnoses fell to about 1.3 million in 2017, down from 1.7 million in 2009.

Earlier research had spotted a decline, and the new report shows it’s been going on for close to a decade. But health officials are not celebrating.

“The bottom line is we don’t know for sure what’s driving these trends,” said the lead author of the new report, Dr. Stephen Benoit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Among the possibilities: Changes in testing and getting people to improve their health before becoming diabetic.

The report was published by the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care. The statistics run through 2017.

Last year’s numbers are not yet available, Benoit said.

Diabetes is a disease in which sugar builds up in the blood. The most common form is tied to obesity, and the number of diabetics ballooned as U.S. obesity rates increased.

But other factors also might have pushed up annual diabetes diagnoses from 2000 to 2010, and they may partly explain why the numbers have been going down since some experts said.

First, the diagnostic threshold was lowered in the late 1990s. That caused more people to be counted as diabetics, but the impact of that may have played out.

“We might have mined out a lot of the previously unrecognized cases” and so new diagnoses in the last several years are more likely to be actual new illnesses, said Dr. John Buse, a University of North Carolina diabetes expert.

Meanwhile, doctors have increasingly used a newer blood test to diagnose diabetes.

It’s much easier than tests that required patients to fast for 12 hours or to undergo repeated blood draws over two hours.

The American Diabetes Association recommended the new test, known as the hemoglobin A1C blood test, for routine screening in 2010.

Because it’s easier to do, it would be expected to lead to more diagnoses. But some experts say it may miss a large proportion of early cases in which people aren’t showing symptoms.

“You may be missing people that would have been diagnosed” with older tests, Benoit said.

Another possibility: Increasingly, more doctors have been diagnosing “prediabetes,” a health condition in which blood sugar levels are high but not high enough to hit the diabetes threshold.

Physicians typically push such patients into exercise programs and urge them to change their diet.

“Prediabetes is becoming a more accepted diagnosis” and may be causing an increasing number of patients to improve their health before becoming diabetic, said Dr. Tannaz Moin, a UCLA expert.

The new report is based on a large national survey conducted by the government every year. Participants were asked if they had been diagnosed with diabetes, and also if the diagnosis was made in the previous year.

It found the rate of new diabetes cases fell to 6 per 1,000 U.S. adults in 2017, from 9.2 per 1,000 in 2009. That’s a 35 percent drop and marks the longest decline since the government started tracking the statistic nearly 40 years ago, according to the CDC. The decrease was mainly seen among white adults, the researchers said.

Meanwhile, the overall estimate of how many Americans have diabetes — whether the diagnosis is recent or not — has been holding steady at 80 per 1,000 U.S. adults. That translates to about 21 million Americans.

Diabetes has continued to become more common among young adults and people who are black and Hispanic, the report noted.

Vista again makes deep run Cherry Creek knocks off Golden Eagles in semifinals

Y

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista battled through the loser’s bracket to win last year’s Class 5A double-elimination state baseball championship.

The defending champions again lost an early game this season but couldn’t complete the comeback as the Golden Eagles dropped a 4-1 decision to Cherry Creek on June 1 at All City Field and fell a game shy of playing for a second straight championship Vista, ranked No. 1 in the state most of the season, finished with a 26-4 record. The Golden Eagles have gone 70-12 over the past three seasons.

“These guys accomplished a lot,” Vista coach Ron Quintana said. “What they did in the last three years might go down as one of the best teams in the state. We have a lot of seniors that contributed the last three years.

“Grant MaGill called every pitch since his freshman year, Drew Stahl is a three-year starter and Sam (Ireland) is a dual threat. I can go down the list...

I don’t like just talking about one guy.’’

Mountain Vista, which beat Creek early in the regular season, took a 1-0 lead after Ireland singled home MaGill, who had doubled in the bottom of the first inning.

Creek starting pitcher, junior Nolan Livsey, retired 19 of the next 21 batters.

He only allowed an infield hit and a two-out single in the seventh inning.

“He did a great job of keeping us off balance and we never got into rhythm,” Quintana said.

Senior Alec Adolph doubled home the Creek run in the fourth inning to tie the game and then the Bruins scored three runs in the sixth inning and went ahead on a squeeze bunt

by Ben Perla. The Bruins used three walks, the squeeze bunt, a fielder’s choice and an infield hit to manufacture the three runs.

Mountain Vista’s Aidan Smith (8) makes the attempt back to 1B before the collision with Cherry Creek’s Clay Cutter (5). Cherry Creek ended up on top 4-1 before losing the State Final to Regis Jesuit 8-3 at All City Field on Saturday.

PAUL DISALVO Mountain Vista handed eventual state champion Regis Jesuit its first tournament loss with a 5-0 setback on May 31 as seniors Ireland and Jon Zakhem paced the victory to push the Golden Eagles into the final day of the tournament.

Ireland pitched a complete-game shutout, fanned six and allowed six hits. He worked out of a bases-loaded, nobody-out jam in the third inning with back-to-back strikeouts and a popup to the shortstop.

“I’ve been in that situation before,” said Ireland. “I wanted to power my way through it and not give up a run. Those two strikeouts were big against their

three and four hitters. They were probably the biggest of the day for sure.”

Ireland also had a double, scored on Zakhem’s 3-run homer in the bottom of the fourth and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning.

Zakhem, who went 2-for-3, collected his fourth RBI of the game with a single in the fifth.

For the season, Ireland finished on the mound with a 0.91 earned-run average, a 9-0 record and 60 strikeouts with 22 walks in 54 innings pitched. He also hit .425 with 39 RBIs. Magill led the team with a .474 batting average while Stahl hit .391 with eight homers and 40 RBIs.

es, it seems like the fall 2018-19 Colorado High School Sports Association sports season started just a couple weeks ago, but the spring campaign OVERTIME is now over. Some teams and individuals were left with unforgettable experiences, others with disappointments, and some hold onto hope for next season.

So I figured it Jim Benton was time to come up with some type of overall success ranking for the teams in the Colorado Community Media circulation area.

State championships are the goal of most teams and should be rewarded.

So we’ll give those teams 10 points, but getting there is a challenge and should be credited, as opposed to teams that don’t make the playoffs or get bounced in the first round.

So a runner-up finished will earn seven points and a final four appearance gets five points in the tabulations that include all sports ranging from field hockey to ice hockey.

There wasn’t time to wait for the finish of the baseball playoffs, so I gave semifinal teams Regis Jesuit, Mountain Vista, Cherry Creek, Grandview and Lutheran five points.

Just give the team that wins the state championships five additional points and the runner-up three points, but it won’t make a difference.

Cherry Creek garnered 52 points this spring thanks in part thanks to girls state tennis, boys lacrosse, and boys swimming state titles, plus second-place finishes in girls lacrosse and a fourth place in girls track, golf and a Final Four baseball appearance.

The Bruins, who also won the girls 5A state basketball title, finished with 95 points to outdistance Regis Jesuit with 62 points. Regis garnered maximum points for state titles in field hockey, boys tennis and ice hockey.

Valor Christian was third with 55 points. The Eagles won state championships in football, volleyball, and boys and girls track. Grandview wound up with 44 points, Lutheran 39, Arapahoe 32 and Mountain Vista 27.

Catching up Getting up to date on some news that might have been overlooked: • Allan Dyer, coach at Cherokee Trail from 2003-2017 who led the Cougars to a 5A state championship, is the new baseball coach at Rock Canyon. He replaces Garrett Duman, who compiled a 26-21 record in two seasons.

Two-sport standout bound for Drake Caden Meis chosen Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Legend senior Caden Meis is a football player who excels on the lacrosse field.

He averaged 5.6 points, 3.6 ground balls and was the leading scorer among Class 5A lacrosse midfielders this season with 57 goals. In Douglas County League games he had a hat trick or better against every opponent and had a 4.6 average of goals per game.

Meis is the 2019 Colorado Community Media Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

“This year I went into not worrying about anything or putting anything on my shoulders,” said Meis. “I just went in having fun and giving it everything I got. I had a lot of fun. I feel I improved on a lot of things I worked on and I really

Legend’s C Caden Meis is the Colorado Community Media Boys C Lacrosse Player of the Year.

think my confidence grew over time.

“A lot of goal scoring is your mental stability, your confidence and not worrying about missing the cage. You just have to take a chance and trust yourself.”

Legend coach Scott Quattromani watched as defenses attempted to contain Meis.

“He had a dominating season,” said Quattromani. “He’s a big, strong player. He always drew the opponents’ best defensive players. Despite these efforts, Caden completed the season as the leader among all 5A plays at any position in points. He is a genuine two-way midfielder, always electing to stay on the field for defensive runs and line up on the wings for face-offs.

“Although Caden had several offers from NCAA Division I lacrosse programs, he chose to attend Drake University on full scholarship for football (NCAA Division I FCS) as a running back in order to help his family with the financial burden of college.”

Smoky Hill athlete is a force on the court Valerie Negin picked as South Metro Girls Tennis Player of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Smoky Hill’s Valerie Negin is Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year.

JIM BENTON

BENTON FROM PAGE 31

• Highlands Ranch junior quarterback Jake Rubley has been named to the National Quarterback Club 2019 Watch List. That means he will be in the running for the High School Quarterback of the Year Award. Rubley’s dad, T.J., was recently appointed as

It has been said that everyone can have a bad day, and Smoky Hill sophomore Valerie Negin is smart enough to cope with that thought.

“I have good days and I have bad days,” she said. “Some days are bad and some days are better.”

Negin didn’t have any bad days, at least on the tennis court, this season.

She completed a 17-0 season by winning the CHSAA Class 5A singles champion and become the first Smoky Hill player to win a singles title in since Patti Urban in 1987.

Negin has been named the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year.

the interim football coach at Highlands Ranch.

• Jayne McHugh, an Arvada West graduate who was inducted into the CHSAA Hall of Fame in 1991, has been named the new head girls volleyball coach at Valor Christian, McHugh, who has been coaching at St. Mary’s High School in Stockton, California, replaces Kaitlyn Hastings who stepped down after last season to spend more time with her family.

“She is a special player and a great teammate,” said Smoky Hill coach Jeffrey Davis.

“She was voted our team captain as a sophomore this season.

“She participates in the IB (International Baccalaureate) academic program at Smoky Hill, which can be very difficult to balance with tennis. Valerie is an outstanding student and athlete and excels in the classroom as much as she does on the court.”

G This season’s state tournament was reduced to two days and Negin had to win a tough three-set semifinal match and come back to face Fairview’s Sophie Pearson in the finals.

After losing the second set, she had two service breaks and broke Pearson’s serve to love in the eighth game to finish off a 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 championship victory.

“I had to suck it up and play because it was the finals,” she said. “After the second set, I just said `Valerie this is it, whatever happens, happens. Blood, sweat and tears on the court.’

“It was crazy. The last match was my best match.”

She guided the Eagles to the 2018 5A state title. It was also announced that Brian Bonn is the new Valor athletic director. � Eric Mingus, a former Grandview player, enrolled at New Mexico State for the 2018 baseball season and saw limited action in 13 games but he developed into the Aggies’ every-day third baseman for the 2019 season.

He hit .332 with 53 runs batted in and was a first team All-Western Athletic

Conference selection. “I came back and put a lot of work into baseball,” said Mingus. “We worked on my swing and a lot of it was having confidence in myself.”
