Guilty plea brings end to 40-year-old murder case James Clanton will get life in prison with a chance of parole after 20 years

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 40 years after 21-year-old Helene Pruszynski was brutally killed and left for dead in an area that is now Highlands Ranch, a man pleaded guilty to the crime.

James Clanton, 62, was slated to have a preliminary hearing but instead chose to waive his rights and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a Douglas County courtroom on Feb. 21.

Because of Clanton’s plea, District Attorney George Brauchler announced the state would not seek the death penalty in the case. Instead, Clanton will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the chance of parole after 20 years, Brauchler said. He will be formally sentenced April 10.

“At his age, if you asked me to guess, I’d say I don’t expect him to make parole,” Brauchler said after the hearing.

Pruszynski’s only living relative, her sister Janet Johnson, will make a statement at Clanton’s sentencing SEE MURDER, P7

Douglas County School District CFO leaves for Cherry Creek

MY NAME IS

CONNOR SZMUL

Castle View High School graduate forging hockey career About me I am a 2018 graduate of Castle View High School. I am from Castle Rock but currently live in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, playing junior hockey for the Chippewa Steel in the North American Hockey League.

I grew up playing ice hockey, golf and baseball. I am in my third year of junior hockey and will be attending the University of Alabama-Huntsville on a hockey scholarship in the fall of 2020 to play Division I college hockey in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA).

Most Division I freshman college hockey players are 20 years old as they play junior hockey up until the age of 20. It’s a very different and interesting path to college hockey.

Choosing hockey I was first introduced to ice hockey at the age of 5 while living in Texas. Before I started playing hockey, my parents began taking me to a local rink when I was 3 years old to learn to ice skate. My parents told me that I never wanted to leave the ice.

I played hockey growing up in Dallas for the Dallas Stars Elite (AAA), and then when I moved to Colorado, I played for the Colorado Thunderbirds (AAA), Foothills Flyers (AA), and Colorado Rampage (AAA).

Connor Szmul completed his senior year at Castle View High School online to pursue junior hockey.

COURTESY PHOTO North American Hockey League (NAHL) and to pursue my dream of playing Division I college hockey. Division I college hockey coaches recruit heavily out of high-level junior leagues, such as the NAHL, which is why I left home at such a young age, once I made the final roster for the Coulee Region Chill team in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in the summer of 2017.

During my time in LaCrosse, I was a senior in high school and enrolled in the Douglas County School District online school called eDCSD. I completed all of my senior year classes online and was able to graduate with my senior classmates from Castle View High School at Red Rocks in May 2018.

After one season playing for the Chill, the team was sold to a new owner who moved the team to Chippewa Falls. The new owners renamed the team the Chippewa Steel where I currently play. I live

with a host family in Chippewa Falls which is called a “billet family.” My billet family, Tami and Bernie Bresina, are a huge support system for me and have been a big part of my life for the last few years.

My advice I strive to be the best player on the ice at all times. Learning to work hard, and smart, at an early age has made working hard a norm in my life. Reaching your incremental goals and seeing results confirms that you are working hard and smart. Make working hard the norm in your life and success will follow.

In honor of my Grandpa John who passed away last spring, I have dedicated this hockey season to him.

The Douglas County School District’s chief financial officer left the school district this month for a job with the Cherry Creek School District.

Scott Smith’s last day with DCSD was Feb. 21.

He was scheduled to begin as the chief financial officer and chief operating officer for CCSD on Feb. 24.

“We sincerely thank Mr. Smith for his service and dedication to DCSD over the past six years and wish him the best in his new endeavor,” said Superintendent Thomas Tucker in an email sent to parents on Jan. 22.

Smith was earning $155,250 with DCSD. He began in June 2013 as the budget director, earning $135,355, and was promoted to chief financial officer in July 2018. Smith was not available for comment.

Smith informed Tucker and the school board of his resignation in a Jan. 21 letter, telling the board he had “not arrived at this decision lightly,” calling the position with CCSD “an opportunity that I cannot pass up.”

He said the leadership team in the district’s business services department was “incredibly strong” and able to support the district in his absence.

“Our proudest achievements as a team have been restoring public faith and confidence in the financials of DCSD and turning around the culture and climate of the business services department,” Smith wrote.

Douglas County teachers urge better pay District still at work on compensation overhaul

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Several educators made impassioned pleas asking school board directors to improve teacher pay in the Douglas County School District two weeks after the board held a lengthy discussion about overhauling compensation for licensed staff.

The board at its Feb. 18 meeting also discussed a resolution that would have provided staff with additional guidelines as they research transitioning to a new compensation system for all employees.

The board voted the resolution down in a 3-3 decision. Directors Kevin Leung, Anthony Graziano and Christina Ciancio-Schor voted against the resolution. Director Susan Meek was absent from the vote.

Motions must be passed by a majority of directors present.

The resolution stated the board “directs the superintendent to consider the following when developing the district’s future compensation system” for the upcoming school year: • Assure the employees who remain in their full-time position won’t see a cut in base pay

• Conduct a cost analysis for offering cost-of-living increases to any employee whose salary is not increased by the compensation system • Evaluate whether current district assets could be converted to compensation revenue • Explore cost-saving measures the district could use in its budget to increase revenue for compensation Leung feared the resolution was premature in the review of DCSD’s compensation structure and that it promised specific action. Graziano said it could box the district in as it explores ways to fund a more competitive compensation package.

Ciancio-Schor was uncomfortable passing the resolution before the district ramps up its budget talks and has more data available, she said.

Board President David Ray was a passionate advocate for the resolution. He disagreed with Leung, arguing it did not make specific commitments and merely directed staff to explore numerous ways to improve compensation.

Public comment from teachers at the beginning of the meeting, in which some stated they might leave the district if compensation isn’t improved soon, shows compensation is an urgent matter, Ray said.

“We have to give our staff some kind of hope that shows that this board does act, this board does com-

municate values,” Ray said. “We’re at the end of February, and March is the pinnacle of hiring season for all our districts. And if we don’t send a message to our employees right away that says we’re going to do everything possible to make this work, I think we will lose employees again like we saw back in 2008.”

Director Krista Holtzmann said the resolution only asked staff to seek more information on cost of living increases, more revenue sources and decreasing expenses in the district, and made no promises.

Although, she noted roughly 85% of the budget goes toward staffing needs.

“I’m not sure we’re going to find a whole lot of expenses to cut,” she said, “but it’s still worth asking if they could take a second look.”

The district has poured $60 million into compensation since 2016 and successfully passed a mill levy override in 2018 that garnered $14 million for salaries. Still, board members and many teachers say DCSD’s compensation isn’t competitive enough in the market to recruit and retain top teachers.

On Feb. 4, staff presented a sample salary schedule for the board to analyze as it considers moving to a traditional step-and-lane structure.

Step-and-lane structures generally allow teachers to progress in a pay schedule for attaining more

education and for their years with a district, although additional factors beyond years of experience would determine in they move steps in Douglas County.

The draft schedule would take $6.8 million to fully implement in year one but the district has only $2.1 million in revenue for compensation, at the most, Chief Financial Officer Scott Smith said Feb. 4.

Multiple directors asked staff if the district could be operated more efficiently or if cuts could be made anywhere in the budget to find more money for compensation.

Teachers that spoke out about compensation on Feb. 18, many of which are members of the local union, Douglas County Federation, had a clear message for the board: Budget what you value.

Clear Sky Elementary teacher and DCF member Shannon Yoshioka grew emotional telling the board how her salary was frozen in her third year with the district for the next four years.

She couldn’t afford bills or furthering her education, she said. It took her 17 out of her 19 years in teaching to reach a $60,000 salary. A schedule like the sample discussed Feb. 4 would not retain teachers, she said, and would not give her a raise in the remainder of her teaching career.

Schools keep fall break schedule despite test dates Week off school overlaps with two of three PSAT days

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School board has decided it will not change the district’s fall break for the 2020-21 school year after staff recommended the school board reschedule it to one week later.

The suggestion came after 3,500 juniors last year missed out on their chance to take the PSAT, part of the SAT test suite usually administered to high school juniors and a requirement to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program.

The district’s 2019-20 fall break overlapped with the first two of three dates available to take the PSAT. That left the district with only the alternate test date on Oct. 30, 2019 for students to take the test.

When a snow event that same

day forced DCSD to cancel the PSAT, juniors lost their chance to take it. The PSAT generates about $2 million in scholarships for district students.

Superintendent Thomas Tucker said the college board allowed students who missed the PSAT to take the SAT and then calibrate those scores, but not all scholarships organizations will accept the SAT. The same or a similar scenario could play out in 2020, when fall break runs from Oct. 12-16. The district’s fall break again overlaps with two of the three dates available to take the PSAT. If any event forces DCSD to cancel, students will miss out on the PSAT once more.

A survey sent to 77,000 people on the issue garnered 21,000 responses, about 16,000 of which were parents. Chief Assessment and Data Officer Matt Reynolds said 75% of participants supported moving fall break.

The decision to keep fall break as scheduled was not cut and dry, board President David

Ray said. He voted in favor of changing the schedule, despite leaning against that option, so the 4-2 vote would better reflect how torn the board felt, he said. Director Susan Meek was absent.

Director Anthony Graziano voted in support of changing the schedule. From the board’s first discussion on the issue, at its Feb. 4 meeting, Graziano said he preferred to prioritize students’ need to take the PSAT. “A good case has been made to adjust this so we can avoid any potential issues like this in the future,” he said.

Director Christina CiancioSchor said “there’s no win in this particular situation.”

Multiple directors said they heard from parents and staff who had already booked trips for the 2020 fall break and feared moving it would disrupt classrooms. Teachers and students would likely continue with their plans and miss school, some directors said.

“I believe we will see another mass exodus again. That is not good for children, it is not good for our communities,” she said if the district adopts a similar schedule to the sample.

She urged the board to work with the union and teachers as they revamp compensation.

The district’s latest strategic plan names recruitment, retention and employee development as one of its major themes. Developing a predictable compensation schedule is the first action item in that part of the plan. The schedule should acknowledge experience, longevity, knowledge and performance, according to the strategic plan.

DCF member and Legend High School English teacher Acacia Fante asked why the district promoted the strategic plan “if you weren’t able to follow through on the action steps within the strategic plan.”

“We have been told to trust the process, yet we are still here feeling as if we are shouting at the wind. Wait a little longer, be patient, is what many employees have done for years,” she said. “We must do better. Time is up. Has our time been worth it? We hope the answer is yes.”

Ray reminded teachers this “is just the beginning of the process” and the district has more work to do before proposing or approving a new salary structure.

“I would just say that I tried to build the case for why there’s a sense of urgency and think it’s very unfortunate that this board is not pushing something forward to show that there is some kind of response to the desperation that we heard tonight from our employees,” Ray said.

Low Interest Rates Means More Money for Retirement by Kathy Muni

W

hen the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, it provides an exciting opportunity for those looking to buy real estate. But what about seniors who are happy in their homes, can lower rates help them?

Refinancing or getting a home loan as a senior can be difficult, especially if you’re on a fixed income. The good news is that seniors can take advantage of lower rates right now, with the new Senior Home Equity Line of Credit (SHELOC) from Silver Leaf Mortgage.

With historically high home values in Colorado and near record lows in interest rates, now is the time to consider the benefits of a SHELOC. You will likely be able to access even more equity in your home than was previously available, and if you already have a reverse mortgage now is the time to consider refinancing to a lower rate and increased equity access.

With a SHELOC, you own and keep your home, get the tax-free cash you need, eliminate your mortgage payment*, and enjoy your retirement to the fullest!

Rates change frequently so call today to lock in your low rate and see if a SHELOC is the right solution for you and your family.

Castle Rock weighs collecting tax on short-term rentals Levy is currently being collected by companies but not remitted to town

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock is looking into how it can get sales tax revenue from short-term rentals, like those on Airbnb and VRBO, which the town is not currently receiving.

The change in protocol would not create any new taxes but would begin requiring the rental sites to remit revenue generated by Castle Rock’s 4% sales tax on local listings back to the town.

Assistant town manager Kristin Read said Airbnb has about 50% of the short-term market share nationwide and does not remit sales taxes without a “voluntary collection agreement” in place, something

TEST DATES FROM PAGE 5

Director Kevin Leung felt it was unlikely the issue would unfold

Castle Rock does not have. VRBO has roughly 20% of the market and also does not remit sales tax to the town.

“It’s hard to say what they’re collecting but they’re certainly not remitting anything to us,” Read said.

Short-term rentals generally include stays of 30 days or less. The town does not ban them, unlike some of its neighbors, and has no plans to regulate them strongly, as of the council’s Feb. 18 discussion.

Castle Pines, Highlands Ranch and Parker all prohibit short-term rentals, Read said, while Lone Tree allows them and has no regulations beyond requiring a business license.

Some homeowners associations ban them in Castle Rock. Founders Village and The Meadows prohibit rentals under a one-month stay and Terrain bans any under a six-month stay.

Town staff believe there could be 120 or so Airbnb and VRBO listings

in town, although the number is difficult to identify because listings don’t include exact addresses, and properties can be listed on multiple rental sites. In total, there are roughly 21,000 housing units in town.

Councilmember Kevin Bracken believed the move was a “waste of time” given how few listings there are in town. Bracken said he suspects there are fewer than the 120 staff estimate and found only a handful when he searched on the two leading rental sites.

Councilmember George Teal disagreed earlier in the meeting. Teal “I do think we need to do something, guys.

I think if we try to ignore it, it’s something that we will end up regretting. At the same token, I think this is still a property rights issue.

I would not want us to overregulate it,” Teal said.

Mayor Pro Tem Jason Bower said he uses Airbnb when he travels regularly but criticized how the vendor handles local tax collection.

“I do think it’s lame if people are paying Airbnb the tax and then Airbnb is not remitting it,” he said of the town’s sales tax.

Castle Rock does require hosts to obtain a business license from the town but Read said only six property owners had done so.

The council asked staff to work with third-party companies that can gather more accurate counts of how many rentals are in town, which Read said would cost less than $400.

Staff will draft an ordinance defin- F ing short-term rentals within town code and determine how the town can begin receiving sales tax on the properties. The issue will come back for council consideration at a later date.

“I don’t think we need to do any regulation,” Mayor Jason Gray said.

“I also think of course we should be collecting tax.”

again — 2019 was the first year district officials could recall a snow event canceling the test. Director Elizabeth Hanson believed it was too late in the school year to reschedule fall break.

Director Krista Holtzmann said

she was hopeful the mishap won’t happen this fall. She noted the survey found 37% of high school staff did not favor moving fall break.

“I think you have very clearly shown that there needs to be a

change to accommodate the PSAT in the future.

That isn’t even a question for me.

I think that needs to happen, but the question for me is whether it needs to happen in 20-21 or if we can put it off a year,” she said.

hearing, Brauchler said, adding how emotional she was when she found out he would be pleading guilty.

“You can’t imagine the kind of relief that would bring to a victim,” he said, “who I think had thought she would go to her grave not knowing who killed her sweet sister.”

Clanton’s four other charges for the Jan. 16, 1980 crime, including sexual assault and kidnapping, were dropped as part of the plea agreement.

Pruszynski had recently moved to Colorado from Massachusetts for an internship with KHOW radio station when she was kidnapped near an Englewood bus stop while on her way home.

The next day, her body was found in a field near Daniels Park Road.

She was naked from the waist down, with her hands bound. She had been stabbed multiple times.

Tracking a killer The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office was able to crack the case thanks to a new form of investigating that includes the use of DNA and genealogy.

Using a public database made up of profiles for those who have used genealogical testing programs, like 23 and Me and Ancestry.com, lead detective Shannon Jensen was able to find third and fourth cousins of Clanton based on DNA found on Pruszynski’s body.

Eventually, she was able to narrow it down to Clanton in mid-2019.

When she went into her supervisor’s office to tell him what she found, she was shaking with adrenaline, she later said in an interview.

“It was pretty exhilarating,” she said. “I said `I know who he is.’”

This is the same investigative tool that gained media attention in 2018 when it was used to catch and prosecute the Golden State Killer in California.

“It gives new life to cases we once thought were unsolvable,” Jensen said.

A confession Once Douglas County investigators had his name, they were able to track Clanton to Lake Butler, Florida, in November 2019, where investigators recovered a beer mug used by the suspect and matched the DNA to what was found at the crime scene, according to an arrest affidavit.

Then, investigators took it a step further. They knew Clanton could try

to explain his DNA being found on the body by saying he had simply dated Pruszynski or even by challenging the accuracy of the technology, said Sgt. Atilla Denes of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

“We wanted to make sure that we eliminated those defenses by basically locking him into his story,” said Denes, who was the lead interviewer in the case.

The investigators decided to approach Clanton and tell him they were investigating a financial crime and possible identity theft from his time in Colorado.

After an hour of interviewing based on the false premise, they showed him a photo of Pruszynski. Clanton asked for an attorney.

When investigator told him they’d be arresting him for first-degree murder, he professed his innocence. Denes informed him they had his DNA and “his response was something like, ‘well, all right,’” Denes said.

From that point, Clanton was completely cooperative, according to investigators. He didn’t fight extradition to Colorado and he fully confessed to the crime in Dec. 2019, even showing investigators where it all took place.

‘A lot of remorse’ During the long flight back to Colorado, Clanton opened up about his crime and his own history.

“There was a lot of remorse, he shed a lot of tears.” Denes said. “He said that he felt that he had received many more years of freedom than he deserved.”

Out of all the suspects of violent crimes whom Denes and fellow investigator Lt. Tommy Barrella have dealt with in their careers, Clanton was unusual. He didn’t blame the victim.

He took full responsibility. He even apologized.

“He said every night he thought about her and her family,” Barrella said. “He said she didn’t deserve what happened to her.”

One thing he said was grateful for is that he was able to raise his daughter, who is now 32.

“He was just thankful for that opportunity,” Denes said.

Clanton also opened up about his personal history. After being abandoned by his birth parents, he spent many years in foster homes where he endured sexual abuse, Denes said.

There’s a possibility Pruszynski wasn’t the last person Clanton attacked, Denes said.

“There could be additional victims,” Denes said, “but at this point, we don’t have any direct evidence of that.”

Gardner: ‘I know we can do better’ on mental health Senator, behavioral health students hold roundtable at Cherry Creek campus

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For those skeptical that the federal government affects their daily lives, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s conversation with some metro area high school students may offer some hope.

In Colorado, “we are losing a person every seven hours to suicide, and I know we can do better,” Gardner, a Yuma Republican, said at a Feb. 19 roundtable on mental health at the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus in the Centennial area.

The senator listened to students’ experiences with programs at the career-technical education campus and talked about filling a shortage of behavioral health workers.

The Innovation Campus, where high school students in the Cherry Creek district come to learn skills in several trades — from construction management to cybersecurity — is where students like Adrianna Fitzgerald are preparing for jobs in behavioral health.

Health care professionals often end up burned out from their work, and the Innovation Campus’ program teaches students how to care for them-

“Not only are we helping others, we’re helping ourselves,” said Fitzgerald, a Smoky Hill senior.

The campus works hand-in-hand with HealthONE, a network of Denver-area hospitals and clinics, on its health curriculum, according to campus principal Mark Morgan. It’s a partnership that gives students a shot at transitioning straight into the industry after graduation.

We have to remove the stigma around suicide and have discussions.”

Tackling the health workforce shortage is one policy area Gardner has recently targeted with a Senate bill he and Sen. Kamala Harris, a California Democrat, introduced in September.

The Mental Health Professionals Workforce Shortage Loan Repayment Act would authorize a loan repayment program for those who agree to practice in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals. The system would repay one-sixth of a worker’s educational debt for each year of service, up to $250,000 over six years, according to a news release from Gardner’s office.

A perhaps more direct initiative is Gardner’s bill to make 9-8-8 the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and Veterans Crisis Line, which currently are accessed through a 10-digit number. That bill was introduced in October by Gardner and Sens. Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat; Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican; and Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat.

Bennet: Take politics out of health care Fresh off failed presidential bid, senator says high cost of living weighs on Americans

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet isn’t running for president, but that doesn’t mean he’s done taking on President Trump.

Bennet, who dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary in early February after a lackluster showing in the New Hampshire primary, spoke to about 100 constituents at a town hall meeting in south Jefferson County on Feb. 18.

“This is the most important election of our lives,” Bennet said. “When you think about the obligation of a citizen of a republic, particularly when we have a president who doesn’t believe in democracy, the separation of powers, the freedom of the press or the independence of the judiciary, that’s a moment when citizenship really matters.”

Though Bennet said he has not yet chosen a candidate to endorse in the primary, or even if he will endorse one, he said he would back whomever the nominee is because he feels voting

Trump out of office is vital.

“There’s a concern that our democracy is at risk and the rule of law is being jeopardized,” Bennet said.

“When I ask people why they voted for Donald Trump, I get a similar answer: ‘We wanted to blow the place up.’ Well, congratulations, you achieved your objective. But what are we going to do for our kids and our place in the world?”

Bennet condemned Trump’s treatment of border security, saying his mother, a Holocaust survivor, was horrified by the Trump administration’s policy of separating children from their parents who crossed illegally at the southern border.

“She said she saw herself in those kids,” Bennet said. “She knows what it does to a person over a lifetime. I don’t think our country is built on nativist hostility or anti-immigrant sentiment.

We have to overcome it.”

Beyond presidential politics, Bennet said he hears similar concerns at numerous town halls: citizens saying they can’t afford some combination of housing, health care, higher education and early childhood education. Many are worried their children will end up worse-off financially than their parents.

Bennet outlined a series of policy proposals he said would help address the issues: a program to ensure high school graduates get their diploma with a year of community college un-

Senator Michael Bennet called defeating President Trump in the fall election a vital task.

DAVID GILBERT der their belts, an end to tax cuts for the wealthy paired with a low-income tax cut, lower interest rates on federal student loans, a focus on reducing the cost of college and developing a public option for health care.

Bennet said he doesn’t see “Medicare for All” — the signature health care proposal of current Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders — as a winning proposal, saying polls suggest a minority of Democratic voters support it.

Two constituents who commented

on health care at the meeting backed up Bennet’s views.

“We don’t trust the government for health care,” said Jo Douglas, an osteopathic doctor in Littleton. “I don’t know how we got on the Bernie march of everything for everybody.

It’s ridiculous. We’ll go bankrupt.”

George Sechrist said he was frustrated after his wife’s recent emergency room visit that it took months to get an itemized bill.

“The free market should be allowed to work in health care,” Sechrist said.

“Let’s see some competition.”

Bennet touted his plan, that he calls “Medicare X,” which centers around a public option.

“I hope we can take politics out of the health care debate,” Bennet said.

“There’s a huge opportunity here, because of how much money we’re wasting today.”

Bennet said he hasn’t yet decided how or if he’ll work to assist the campaign to unseat fellow Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, who faces a tough reelection campaign this fall, though he has endorsed former governor John Hickenlooper to challenge Gardner.

Bennet said while his presidential campaign didn’t get much traction, which he attributes to starting late and being shut out of Democratic party debates, he’s glad to be home.

“Town halls are a big part of a senator’s job,” he said. “It feels good to be back in Colorado.”

Low turnout at law enforcement appreciation event

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An event dedicated to honoring law enforcement that often draws dozens and sometimes hundreds to Castle Rock was so sparsely attended this year that organizers began stacking up chairs and tearing down vendor tables more than an hour before the celebration was scheduled to end.

The 5th Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day took place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Feb. 23. Midway through the event, fewer than 30 people stood around the room, including members of the live band, vendors and organizers. There were no uniformed officers in attendance between 4 and 5 p.m. The event was scheduled to run from 3 to 6 p.m.

Bill and Linda Smutzer, of Castle Rock, attended in hopes of thanking law enforcement officers for their service, Bill said.

“We were just going to come for a little while, but I hate to leave now,” Bill said, explaining they didn’t want to worsen the already low turnout.

“We’ve met some of the police before, but we thought they might be here en masse.”

Officials from some agencies said they simply weren’t aware the event was taking place.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said the day after the event.

Standing in the near empty hall, organizer Ron MacLachlan wondered if the event should have marketed better. He’d taken the information to the

front desks of law enforcement agencies but could have called the sheriff directly, he said. The event was also posted to community calendars, such as the calendar on the Town of Castle Rock’s website and the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce website.

MacLachlan lives in Denver and plans several law enforcement appreciation events in Colorado, including in Denver, Douglas County and Colorado Springs. He first began planning them in Denver in 2015 and runs Pro Police Rally Colorado.

MacLachlan said weather may have deterred some people from attending.

Snow blanketed the Denver metro area that Sunday morning and was predicted to last through the evening, although clouds broke, and the sun came out in time for the event. MacLachlan said he started getting calls that morning from people who said the forecast would prevent them from coming. He is looking into holding the event later in the year in 2021 to avoid inclement weather, he said.

Ron McLachlan organizes appreciation days for law enforcement in Denver, Colorado Springs, Douglas County and other communities in Colorado.

“All you guys who took the time to come out,” MacLachlan said when addressing the room, “I cannot thank you enough.”

C-470 project moving toward completion, CDOT says Toll lanes expected to open in spring, project to be finished by summer

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Construction on C-470 is nearly finished.

The years-long C-470 Express Lanes Project, which will add tolled lanes along the busy highway, is scheduled to be completed this summer, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, or CDOT. That’s about a year after the original expected completion date, and four years after the project began in 2016.

CDOT placed the project’s contractor, a joint venture of Flatiron Construction and AECOM, in default last summer after repeated delays and what CDOT called misleading updates.

“CDOT’s priority is getting this completed as quickly and safely as possible so we can bring it to the traveling public,” said Tamara Rollison, a spokeswoman for CDOT. “You’ve probably noticed whenever you’re out there, there’s work taking place, including weekend and night closures.”

Once completed, the project will add at least one, and in some places two toll lanes to each direction of the heavily congested corridor between I-25

The C-470 Express Lanes project is slated to be completed this summer -- a year behind schedule.

DAVID GILBERT and Wadsworth Boulevard. Motorists could save up to 18 minutes if traveling the full 12-mile length of the lanes, according to CDOT estimates.

Tolls could range as high as $6.60 for a full-length westbound trip during afternoon rush hour, according to CDOT documents. The high end for eastbound travel could be $4.85 during morning rush hour. Tolls will be lower in off-peak times and for motorists only traveling partway. The goal is to keep traffic moving at least 45 mph at all times.

The toll lanes are expected to be complete sometime in the spring, Rol-

lison said, and motorists will be able to use them for free for a few months while crews finalize installation and testing of tolling equipment.

Tolls will be assessed much like they are on E-470 east of I-25, Rollison said, utilizing license plate readers that will send a bill to the driver’s home. Drivers can also buy electronic passes that are good on all the state’s toll roads.

The remaining work is primarily paving, lane striping and signage installation, Rollison said.

In the meantime, CDOT is levying fines of $51,000 a day against Flatiron and AECOM for the behind-schedule

work, Rollison said.

“We like these projects finished within a certain time frame,” Rollison said. “We’ve been exercising our recourse as laid out in our contract with them.”

The project’s total cost is still in the neighborhood of $276 million, Rollison said. About $10 million of that is from Douglas County, and an additional $110 million came from state and federal funding.

Flatiron and AECOM are “working to safely expeditiously complete the project,” said Michael Swenson, a spokesman for Flatiron.

“We’ve been working with CDOT on this all the way through,” Swenson said. “We’ve focused significant resources on the project.”

Swenson declined to answer if the contractors have worked to change or improve their methods since being placed in default.

The project’s completion will bring welcome additional capacity to the local transportation grid, said Keith Reester, Littleton’s director of public works.

Still, Reester said, “you can’t build your way out of congestion.”

“You can, however, add capacity while you look at longer-term solutions: mode changes, shorter trips, working to help people live closer to their jobs and things like that,” Reester said. “You’re not going to get thousands of people to decide to stop driving tomorrow.”

Recent periodontal surgery means no Craig Marshall hot, black coffee for two weeks.

Smith The impact of this will undoubtedly have an impact on my impact.

There are no hot foods for two

That’s manageable, but I have learned that foods that are generally served hot should not be served cold.

Cold macaroni and cheese is not very comforting. Neither are scrambled eggs or mashed potatoes.

I have to eat on the left side of my mouth. When the right side of my mouth has healed, Dr. Kim will repeat the procedure on the left side of my mouth.

It’s another Olympics year. It’s another presidential election year.

Two weeks will come and go, then another post-operation period without coffee will come and go, and it will be summer, then fall, then 2021 before I know it.

And I will be back on the scalding nectar made from coffee beans, without which my similes are as flat as a board and dull as dullness.

The story about Chandler and the screenplay sounds like someone made it up, but it’s true.

Chandler was a heavy drinker. How he was able to drink and write is incomprehensible. I’ve tried.

He was offered more money to finish the script, but insisted on alcohol.

Chandler explained the drinking wouldn’t be a problem, but the aftermath would be. A doctor and nurses

were nearby.

The irony is he had to put words in the mouth of Veronica Lake, whom he referred to as “Moronica.”

A further irony is that Lake’s death at the age of 50 was, in part, attributed to alcohol abuse.

hen it comes to competitive events, I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy a close game as opposed to a rout, even when it may mean the team that I am rooting for has a chance of losing. You may understand this or feel this way too. A blowout of any kind and in any type of competition loses WINNING my interest pretty WORDS quickly.

Give me a good buzzer-beater, extra innings, a last-second Hail Mary or field goal, or a 40-foot putt on the 18th hole to win a championship any day.

Here’s the interesting thing. Although Michael Norton many of us enjoy the thrill and excitement of a close game, when it comes to our personal lives and careers, we want the easy wins. We look for the path of least resistance and hope that we can coast down victory lane. As I was having this conversation with a buddy of mine, and as we talked about some of the easy wins we have enjoyed together and some of the really close calls,

we agreed that although it was nice to cruise in with another win at times, it was the competition and energy of winning the close ones that gave us both a greater sense of gratification.

“Put me in coach, I am ready to play today …” - John Fogerty Every time I hear that song it inspires me to compete. And compete in anything, the game of life, the game of work, any game, just put me in coach, I want to play, and I want to play today.

To compete at anything, and to succeed at the highest level, requires work. And I am not just talking about competitive sports. The business landscape gets more and more competitive each and every day. So when we do practice and work at our craft, whatever it may be, and when we win, the victory feels so much better and tastes so much sweeter. Knowing that we earned it carries so much more meaning than having something given to us, doesn’t it?

Many of my friends and clients are in professional sales roles. They will certainly share that they would never turn down a “bluebird” opportunity, meaning a deal that comes in that

gun violence and 58% of adults or someone they care for have experienced gun violence in their lifetime with lasting effects. In 2019, our Douglas County school children were affected when schools were shut down across the state to protect them from a potential threat and then again during the STEM shooting.

Every year we lose more than 36,000 Americans to gun violence in our country. Their stories deserve to be told, their loved ones deserve to have room to grieve and remember their loss.

they hadn’t really worked for or expected. However, when we start sharing sales stories and winning the close ones, we can all feel the energy shift and the excitement building as if we were still in the process. The feeling of winning gives way to the sensation of being in the battle. We celebrate with a “cheers” for what we have accomplished and encourage one another as we prepare for the next opportunity.

Just like a blowout of a game could bring a case of boredom, a lack of competition and competitive spirit draws us closer to complacency and mediocrity.

For someone who writes the way I do, his punishments are severe. Once he made me stick to one subject and not meander or bring in film or references to obscure songs or singers.

I recently watched a short documentary about Roy Rogers lookalike Spade

contains the following procedural safeguards: Every ERPO request requires a hearing. The judge can issue a temporary ERPO following a hearing without the respondent present.

That order can only remain in place for 14 days. After that, the judge must conduct a second hearing with the respondent present. The longest an ERPO can remain in effect is 364 days. After that, if the order is to continue then the judge must hold another hearing in order to renew the ERPO for a period not to exceed a year. At any time while the ERPO is in effect, the respondent can ask for early termination.

In short, the procedure contemplates multiple hearings, up to three in a year, before a neutral party: a judge. Those who would provide false information in order to obtain an ERPO can be criminally prosecuted. Respondents subject to an ERPO proceeding can obtain a lawyer at government expense unlike hundreds of thousands of Coloradans facing drivers’ license revocations, termination of parental rights and evictions.

Similar laws around the country have withstood challenges to constitutionality. Colorado’s red flag law, too, is strong enough to survive a constitutional challenge.

ing mediocrity, as we also know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. And if we are going to compete, with any expectation of achieving success, we must work at the level we are capable of working. More importantly, enjoying the experiences, the journey, and the competition that comes along the way.

So how about you? Do you prefer an easy lap down victory lane over a close finish or buzzer-beater? Or do you thrive in the pursuit of success and all the glory and competition that comes with being in the game and winning the close ones?

AMID HARDSHIP People experiencing homelessness find a ‘getaway’

VOLUNTEER The arts programs serving those experiencing homelessness are always looking for volunteers, program coordinators said.

Volunteer forms are available online at: Art From Ashes: artfromashes.org/ support/volunteer RedLine Reach Studio: redlineart. org/volunteer St. Francis Center: sfcdenver.org/ volunteer To volunteer with the Pari Passu dance program at the St. Francis Center, ask to be assigned to the program during volunteer orientation.

ithin a single week, dozens of regulars find their way to the 2300 block of Arapahoe and Curtis streets in Denver.

Steven Barth, a jazz keyboard player, leaves the homeless shelter he’s been staying at for eight months, headed to a weekly dance group at the St. Francis Center, a daytime shelter on Curtis Street.

Ashley Anderson and Paul Laurendine, a married couple who met at the day shelter, also make their way to Curtis Street each week, drawn to the dance group where they first bonded.

Richard Beck, an artist who goes by the name Gonzo, walks from his Denver home to the RedLine Contemporary Art Center on Arapahoe Street — where, having once slept behind the building each night, he has since accepted a position as studio coordinator.

Every week, these individuals are drawn to the arts programs that happen to run in the back-toback buildings. On Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, RedLine invites aspiring artists to the Reach Studio at 2350 Arapahoe St. And on Thursday mornings, ballet company Wonderbound holds a dance group at the St. Francis Center, 2323 Curtis St. The Denver arts groups, which each began within the last decade, seek to serve people experiencing homelessness in the metro area.

More than anything, participants say the programs are about momentarily leaving behind the negative to embrace the positive.

Artist Vanessa Constanti has four paintings featured in RedLine’s current exhibition. Having previously faced housing insecurity, “this is the first time I’ve been able to have an outlet for my art,” the artist said.

Steven Barth sits on the edge of the dance floor at the Pari Passu dance program, using drumsticks to keep the beat. “It feels good to move,” he said. “It makes your heart beat.”

“We’ve been coming to this for years. It’s been our getaway,” Anderson said of herself and her husband.

Participants also say that programs like these are few and far between.

“I wish it would last longer.

There’s not much else to do,” said Barth, who often sits on the edge

of the dance floor in the St. Francis Center’s clothing room, using drumsticks to keep the beat while others are dancing.

“It feels good to move,” he said.

“It makes your heart beat.”

Programs’ purposes While the programs seek to achieve a common goal, each one

approaches that goal differently.

The Pari Passu dance program — named after the Latin term for “equal step” — specifically engages those served by the St. Francis Center. Every Thursday, participants decide how to spend the hour, whether that means dancing together or simply discussing music, said group coordinator Heather Sutton.

“This is a population that is told a lot what they can and can’t do, so we try to meet whatever the demand is that day,” Sutton said.

“One of the first things people lose when they’re experiencing financial hardship is access to the arts. It’s important for us to provide that.”

Directly after the hour wraps up at the center, Sutton holds another group at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, 2111 Champa St., Denver.

Sutton also coordinates for group members to occasionally watch Wonderbound dance rehearsals or attend local shows.

Pari Passu participant Debra Ann added that for her, the program is more than a chance to enjoy the arts; it’s also an opportunity to encourage those who are facing the same hardships that she is.

‘They stole him out of jail’

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“They Stole Him Out of Jail” book cover for Littleton author Will Gravely’s book.

Gravely will speak about South Carolina’s last lynching on March 5 at Littleton Museum.

COURTESY PHOTO

In May 1947 the courthouse in Greenville, South Carolina was the site for a trial that made national news and asked the question: Was a lynching possibly legal under any circumstances?

Littleton author Will Gravely, a native of Pickens, the town near Greenville where the lynching victim had been abducted from jail, was 7 at the time of the incident and was unaware of it then. He went on to teach history and religious history at the University of Denver. He decided to take an in-depth look at the scene and the ensuing story — involving court records (there was no transcript of the trial), files of local and some national newspapers and magazines, and conversations with locals who remembered ...

National press figures appeared to record the scene for newspapers and magazines — including British author Rebecca West, aka Dame Cecily Isabel Fairfield DBE, who filed stories to the New Yorker.

Gravely is scheduled to talk about

A farmer had found 48-year-old taxi driver Thomas Watson Brown injured and bleeding on the night of Feb. 15, 1947 — a Saturday — and called for help. Brown was transferred to the local hospital in critical condition, and died two days later.

Investigation on the night of Feb. 15 found tracks from Brown’s cab led to Tessie Earle’s home, where police found a gun — the probable weapon used — a jacket with stains still showing after washing and shoes that fitted the tracks. They belonged to a 24-year-old black man, Willie Earle, who was arrested and locked in the Pickens jail.

By the day after the attack, other cab drivers had convened and an angry mob started talking about taking Earle out of the jail cell. A caravan of 31 men arrived at the jail and pushed their way to Earle’s cell, where they grabbed him and went to a pre-chosen site to “interrogate” the young man.

Earle was shot, stabbed and bludgeoned, with the dead body left on

the ground as the men scattered.

Soon after the body was found, the FBI entered the scene in addition to state and local law officers — although the FBI withdrew several days later.

Gravely spins a story of passions, mob psychology, individual portraits and rivalries — and a prevailing point of view that is not as evident today, although it does keep surfacing in some news reports...

The 31 men were tried as a group and much of Gravely’s writing describes the words and actions that ensued — the judge’s rulings, the steamy, crowded courtroom — as well as profiles of many of the mob members. (A list at the end of the book tells age, family status, education and occupation of the group, which adds to an overall image of the community.)

The writing is crisp and colorful and keeps a reader turning pages to see what’s next. (It’s hard to put it down and go tend to whatever else is pending!)

We are told that Bemis Library has a copy in its collection and Gravely says the University of South Carolina publication is available at Tattered Cover, Aspen Grove.

ART ON DISPLAY Reach Studio’s annual exhibition — which this year focuses on a theme of Afrofuturism — is on display now at RedLine, 2350 Arapahoe St., Denver. The exhibition will be up through March 29 at 5 p.m.

Reach Studio artists’ work is also available to view or purchase at Saint John’s Cathedral, 1350 N. Washington St., Denver.

“I like to lift people up. Instead of sitting out there alone, we can come here and have fellowship,” said Debra Ann, who asked that her last name not be used. “No matter what you’re going through, music’s good for your soul.”

Meanwhile, through its Reach Studio program, RedLine invites any artist to visit the studio and access the program’s workspace, storage space and materials.

Reach Studio also provides “professional development and opportunities to sell artwork,” said JC Futrell, RedLine’s education director.

Participants’ work is featured in permanent exhibitions at RedLine and Saint John’s Cathedral at 1350 N. Washington St., Denver, he said. The studio’s core artists, who have regularly participated for six months, receive additional benefits including access to scholarships for the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design.

“This studio really means connection and it really means safety,” Futrell said. “I’ve got artists who tell me that before coming in here, they didn’t really see themselves as artists, and now they do.”

That’s been the case for Reach Studio coordinator Gonzo, who first came to the studio about a decade ago, hoping to leave behind a life

Participants and volunteers at the Pari Passu program join together to move to the music. In the middle is Jobi Williams, who often attends the dance group at the St. Francis Center. “Dancing soothes your soul and brings out a lot of memories of people you helped along the way,” he said.

CASEY VAN DIVIER of financial hardship and crime, he said.

“I came into this building trying not to be anybody anymore. The minute I’d leave here, there’d be drugs, people who were addicted to

things,” he said. “We’re always on the verge of being unsettled, but what’s kept me sane is consistency.”

Since joining the studio, he has accepted the coordinator position, sold numerous pieces and found stable housing, he said. He attributes the turnaround to his pursuit of an art career and says that, for many others, he’s seen the same transformation take place.

“I’ve created a whole new person,” he said. “I don’t do the things I used to do, and that’s what makes life worth living.”

‘It saves your life’ Though many of the artists live within walking distance of the studio, some have a longer commute, coming in from the surrounding suburbs.

“We get artists from Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Englewood, Thornton

— they come from all over to be in this space,” Futrell said.

Artist Patti Kurtzman commutes to the studio from her home in Golden, connected to the program by her passion for art and her brother’s past homelessness, she said. Juannean Young, who left her job about two years ago to become an artist, drives to RedLine every week from Aurora, where she recently moved into a shared-living home.

Young and many of her fellow artists said that through the studio’s sales and connections, they feel they have started to make names for themselves in the art world.

Vanessa Constanti is one artist who’s found this success. In the past, the artist faced housing insecurity; she has since found stable housing, but she continues to visit the studio as she cares for her daughter, who has significant special needs, Constanti said.

In addition to selling artwork and being a part of exhibitions, the program provides something even more important, she said.

“When you’re dealing with special needs or housing insecurity, you’re never self-actualizing. You’re mired in just surviving,” she said. “This is the first time I’ve been able to have an outlet for my art. I think most of us will use the same terms: It saves your life.”

Epilepsy treatment side effect: New insights about brain Researchers garner information from procedures on patients with disorder

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON AND MALCOLMRITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Though Genette Hofmann is still using her brain, last month she donated a bit of it — to science.

Hofmann needed the surgery — her Seattle surgeon was looking deep into her brain, where he found the trigger for the epileptic seizures that had disrupted her life for 30 years. But to get there, he teased out a bit of healthy tissue the size of a lima bean, and with her blessing quickly sent it to some researchers, who were eager to study brain cells while they were still alive.

That’s how Hofmann joined a long line of epilepsy patients who’ve helped scientists reveal basic secrets of the brain — knowledge that could pay off in better ways to measure consciousness in brain-injury patients and new treatments for a variety of diseases.

Those research volunteers included Ruth Nall, who made a different kind of contribution in a California hospital room, reading sentences aloud as a network of surgically implanted sensors kept close track of how her brain

Seizures provide information worked.

The disease has a long history of Since she was going to have electrodes implanted anyway, she reasoned, revealing the importance of the brain to memory, emotion and everything we why not help out? call the self, says Christof Koch, chief “Plus,” she added, “I’d have visitors.” scientist at the Epilepsy disAllen Institute rupts the brain’s in Seattle, where electrical activity, Hofmann’s cells producing recurwere analyzed. rent seizures that “Seizures have involve strange taught us more sensations, beabout brain and haviors, emotions the mind, and and, sometimes, the relationship loss of consciousbetween the two, ness.

And After resting for an hour after slicing, research with “H.M.,” a now-deceased Hofmann’s brain cells were ready for Connecticut man who’s been called the their star turn under the microscope. most famous patient in the history of Researcher Katherine Baker found neuroscience, revealed key insights a single brain cell and recorded its into how memory works. electrical activity. She injected dye that spread into the threadlike dendrites of the neuron to reveal its shape.

Baker removed the cell’s nucleus for the third step: a readout of which genes are turned off and which are turned on.

About three-quarters of such donations at the Allen Institute come from epilepsy patients; the rest come from cancer surgeries. The Allen Institute is building an online atlas that makes information on hundreds of human brain cells freely available for study.

The institute hopes that will provide a new avenue, beyond brain scans and animal studies, for tackling conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and autism.

For Hofmann, 57, the decision to contribute to the study was simple, even beyond her own epilepsy. She spent years caring for a grandmother with dementia.

“It was the easiest decision I’ve ever made,” she said. “This will be my chance to make a difference.”

Dr. Andrew Ko, who performed Hofmann’s surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, stressed that it’s important to make sure patients understand the difference between what’s needed for therapy and what’s optional for research. At Harborview, Ko talks to patients about treatment while a research coordinator discusses the opportunity to participate in studies, he said.

Nall, the California woman, underwent surgery too. But before that, doctors had to discover the spot that was triggering her seizures.

To do that, surgeons often implant arrays of 100 or more sensors on and within a patient’s brain, to eavesdrop

‘Seizures have taught us more about brain and the mind, and the relationship between the two, than any other disease.’

on its activity and catch the trigger in the act of causing a seizure. Patients being monitored in this way may spend a week or more in a hospital room as doctors wait for seizures to happen.

During that time, patients don’t have a lot to do. For neuroscience researchers, a group of people with implanted brain electrodes and plenty of time is a golden opportunity.

“It is rare that you have the opportunity to study the brain in such a detailed way in awake people,” says Dr. Joshua Rosenow of Northwestern University.

Electrodes can change perception In some cases, researchers use the implanted electrodes for stimulation.

A few years ago, to explore the role of a certain part of the brain in perceiving faces, Dr. Josef Parvizi of Stanford University activated that area in a 41-yearold patient. The man was looking at Parvizi, who was next to his hospital bed, when the stimulation began.

“You just turned into somebody else,” the patient told Parvizi. “Your nose got saggy and went to the left. You almost b look like somebody I’ve seen before but somebody different. That was a trip.” o a Other times, the brain electrodes h are used to monitor what happens as patients do specific mental tasks.

Patients may sniff odors, do math, sing, r read specific words or sentences aloud, b listen to music or speech, look at faces h on a screen, name objects in line draw- t ings, stick out their tongues, or do other h things meant to create specific brain activity. All the while, scientists track what’s going on in their brains.

“There is an explosion of studies in this field, because it is immensely important to know the timing of events in the brain, which areas light up first” and which follow, said Parvizi. “And when area A lights up, what does area B do?”

The monitoring of Nall’s brain provided data for several papers published in the past couple years. One of her experimental tasks sounds a little strange: During her 2013 hospital stay she was asked to repeat the sentence, “I never said she stole my money” over and over, putting an emphasis on a different word each time. Those changes altered the meaning of the sentence.

Researchers had sought her help in learning how the brain produces and controls speech, perhaps a step toward helping people unable to talk. That goal struck a chord with Nall, who recalled that an uncle’s voice was stilled by Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Looking back, she said she’d encourage others to take the same step. “It is something you feel good about later,” she said. “Let your life be defined by the lives that you change.”

Two weeks after Hofmann’s surgery, a scar curves from the top of her right ear to her forehead hairline. “So far, so good,” she said. “No seizures.” Part of her brain is gone, but she doesn’t feel anything’s missing. In fact, happy memories have surfaced, “things I haven’t thought of since I was a girl.”

Contributing brain cells to science “makes me so proud and so satisfied,” she said. “It makes me feel more connected to the human race.”

Meet the royalty of the air

Shauni Schermerhorn introduces a golden eagle.

T

he royalty of the air made a visit to South Platte Park in Littleton on Feb. 22, as Nature’s Educators introduced birds of prey to an eager audience.

The Sedalia-based nonprofit showed off some of the birds they’ve rescued: a saw whet owl, a kestrel, a Swainson’s hawk and a golden eagle.

Many of the group’s birds are rescued after being hit and injured by cars. Volunteer Shauni Schermerhorn said people can help cut down the number by not littering along highways — including biodegradable

items like apples cores and orange peels, which can draw mice, which draw birds closer to the road.

She said another common threat to the majestic birds is rat poison, which the birds ingest by eating mice and rats.

“If we create a habitat that’s safe for the birds, they’ll do the work of eating the mice and rats for us,” Schermerhorn said.

Meeting the birds was a thrill to Mia LeVier, 9, who offered up a few bird facts herself throughout the talk.

Asked what she wants to be when she grows up, LeVier said, “Either a zookeeper, a marine biologist, a veterinarian or a pet store owner.”

A kestrel stretches its wings.

Char Allee holds a Swainson’s hawk.

Once regarded as a pest by farmers and hunted for government bounties, the hawk has made a comeback -- though their numbers are beginning to fall again.

Outbreak forces teachers to reach students virtually From Parker, educators conduct classes for Chinese students

Jack Kriss prepares for his day of teaching Chinese students virtually at the Douglas County Library in Parker. Kriss and his wife, Laura, are international teachers who, in their most recent endeavor, moved to Beijing to teach an Englishlanguage school.

Between the two, they have about 800 students to teach. From 5 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Mountain Time, the teachers complete lesson plans in a variety of subjects.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jack and Laura Kriss consider themselves night school teachers for the time being.

At 5 p.m. in one corner of the Douglas County Library in downtown Parker, the Krisses set up two laptops in study chairs facing a window with a view of the mountains. Coffee in tow and snacks peeking out from a bag, the Krisses dug in for another night Feb. 12 of teaching stranded students in their homes in China and across the globe.

“If it weren’t for the coronavirus, we would’ve been on a plane Feb. 6 and back in China and classes would’ve started Feb. 10,” Jack Kriss said. “The virus has put us in a virtual environment. Our students are quarantined in their houses and we’re here and we’re able to work with them virtually.”

Since Feb. 10, the Krisses have led virtual classrooms with their collective 800-some middle- and high schoolaged students in Beijing, China, to ensure they don’t fall behind their peers.

Both have full teaching schedules still — Jack teaches computer science for international baccalaureate students, Laura teaches middle school science courses. They teach at the library until it closes at 9 p.m. Then they’ll go home to finish the rest of their courses until 12:30 a.m.

“It’s almost like being in a classroom, but we’re just not physically together,” Jack Kriss said.

The school is English-only, and the Krisses don’t speak Mandarin.

Students are able to translate questions in real time to stay engaged with a lesson.

The Chinese government has

NICK PUCKETT

banned people from meeting in groups larger than three people in attempts to curb the spread of the coronavirus, a respiratory illness similar to SARS that has killed almost 1,400 people, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. China has almost 15,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

The Krisses are international educators who teach an American-style curriculum to students all over the world.

The couple have taught in places like Germany, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates since 2006. They arrived in Beijing in August to begin teaching at the Beijing Bilingual International Academy (BBIA).

When not abroad teaching, the two live in Parker. They returned to the U.S. Jan. 17 during the Chinese New Year celebration and planned to return to China Feb. 6. The coronavirus continued to spread in China. Their flight was pushed back to Feb. 14.

United Airlines at some point canceled their flight back altogether. Jack Kriss said United Airlines won’t be making trips to China likely until April.

“Because of everybody’s use of technology, everybody’s picked up on it smoothly,” Jack Kriss said.

The students of BBIA have few options to continue their education, especially during a crisis that prohibits group meeting. The semester was scheduled to reconvene Feb. 17.

Students who willingly leave the public-school system in China are not allowed to reenroll at another Chinese public school. Private schools are the last option for many students.

The students each join a Microsoft Teams video chatroom where Jack and Laura conduct their courses. Falling behind for Jack’s IB students is particularly difficult for the kids, who need to take IB exams regularly to keep up with their international peers. Not all

students are from China and they have to call in from their homes throughout the world. Jack Kriss said 10% of his students are not from China.

Jack Kriss said he doesn’t want the students to fall behind. In an increasingly competitive international education landscape, every day out of the classroom can be harmful to a student’s education.

“There’s a human side to this experience. There are children, parents, families who are not much different than any of us, who have been affected very negatively from this experience,” Jack Kriss said. “The education environment isn’t any different than what we see here in our own home. It’s a different culture, but they’re the same as us. They’re human beings. They should have the opportunity to learn, continue growing and continue doing things in an international world and not be isolated or closed out.”

Area wrestlers post strong showings at state Cherokee Trail picked up a pair of state crowns, Ponderosa third in team standings

HOW THEY FINISHED

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherokee Trail never had an individual state wrestling champion prior to the state wrestling tournament Feb. 20-22 at the Pepsi Center.

The Cougars wrapped up the Class 5A portion of the meet with two state champions and came close to having three.

Meanwhile, Ponderosa finished third in the team standings behind champion Pomona and second-place Rocky Mountain.

And, Regis Jesuit junior Antonio Segura captured his second state title to highlight the top performances by area wrestlers.

Sophomore Derek Glenn Jr. will go down as Cherokee Trail’s first state champion as he downed Freddie Sanchez of Grandview, 4-2, in the 106-pound championship match. Sam Hart added a second Cougars state title when he won the 220-pound crown with a 4-2 victory over Brighton’s Dylan BravoParker, which wrapped up a 42-0 season for the junior.

Senior Julian Williams had a chance to be the school’s third individual state champion, but he was dealt a 5-2 title confrontation loss to Columbine’s Zach Schrader at 285 pounds in one of the final matches of the state tournament.

Glenn gained revenge over Sanchez for a 3-1 loss in Centennial League dual meet action. He used a thirdperiod takedown and held on for the victory, which gave him a 38-6 record for the season.

He didn’t qualify for the state tournament last season and he said it felt good to beat Sanchez.

“And I feel good to be the school’s first state champion,” he said.

Cherokee Trail had 10 state qualifiers, the most in school history, and Hart credits his teammates for inspiring his undefeated season. The Cougars were fourth in the team standings.

“I’m grateful to all my teammates for making me work hard,” said Hart.

“We are always pushing each other.

It was a great environment and that helped me accomplish this. We always pushed each other. We were one of the hardest working groups of kids in the state.”

Segura faced Legacy’s Joey Joiner once again for the state 145-pound title but instead of a one-point win like he recorded in 2019, he used takedowns to post a 10-7 decision over Joiner to end with a 47-5 record for the season.

He came out aggressive in his finals duel against Joiner and wound up

Cherokee Trail’s Derek Glenn Jr., right, and Frankie Sanchez of Grandview keep their heads down in the 106-pound Class 5A title match on Feb. 22 at the Pepsi Center. Glenn won the match and captured the first individual state wrestling title for Cherokee Trail.

Cherokee Trail’s Sam Hart after winning state 220-pound title to finish the season undefeated.

Ponderosa’s Jaron Mahler appears to be in control but he lost a 3-1 decision to Grand Junction’s Kieran Thompson in the 132-pound Class 5A title match at the state wrestling tournament on Feb. 22 at the Pepsi Center.

Douglas County’s Max Black holds down the head of Adams City’s Levi Deaguero during the third-place match at 126 pounds at the Class 5A state wrestling tournament Feb. 22 at the Pepsi Center.

Black won, 16-6. with back-to-back state title triumphs.

“This one feels better,” said Segura.

“It was a repeat. I felt confident and ready to go in the match. I wrestled well in the tournament. I had really good matches in the first two rounds.

In the semis I had a bit of a scare (8-7 decision over Adams City’s Joshua Deaguero) but I was ready to go in my finals match. I had a close match last

year (against Joiner) and I felt I was going to put it on him this year and prove last year wasn’t a fluke.

“I was grateful for the opportunity.

I can remember as a little kid watching the state finals and thinking, man, that could be me someday.”

In other significant matches involving wrestlers from south metro area schools, Ponderosa freshman Jacob Bostelman lost his third place match to Thornton’s Chris Moreno when he was pinned in 2:13.

Murphy Menke, a Ponderosa sophomore, defeated Pomona’s Elijah Olguin, 3-2, in the 120-pound thirdplace match and Douglas County junior Max Black finished strong with a 16-6 win over Adams City’s to wind up third in the 126-pound bracket.

Ponderosa’s Jaron Mahler was the 132-pound runner-up, while Douglas County junior Victor Madrid was

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT OF PUBLIC NOTICE UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL PROGRAM PERMIT ACTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 (EPA) intends to issue an Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit-related action for the Town of Castle Rock’s Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project, under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act and UIC Program regulations. The EPA will be issuing a public notice of this proposed action and requesting comment on its website at www.epa.gov/uic/underground-injection-controlepa-region-8-co-mt-nd-sd-ut-and-wy, for a minimum of 30 days. Notification of any extension of the public comment period will appear at the web address only and will not appear in this newspaper. Alternatively, the public may contact Linda Bowling by email at bowling.linda@epa.gov by phone at 1-800-227-8917 extension 312-6254 or (303) 312-6254, to obtain information about the proposed action or to be added to the notification list for any extension of the public comment period and any final EPA decision.

The EPA is proposing to issue a draft UIC Class V area permit for implementing ASR using the Denver and Arapahoe Aquifers in the Town of Castle Rock utility service area located in the south Denver area. Two wells are proposed to inject treated drinking water for storage in these aquifers during periods of low demand, then recover and supply drinking water from these aquifers to Douglas County residences during periods of high demand.

The EPA has proposed protective permit requirements in the draft Class V permit. These include: 1) pilot cycle testing of the injected and subsequently recovered water; 2) monitoring the quality of the Denver and Arapahoe Aquifers during ASR operations; 3) bench scale water chemistry testing for potential contaminants; and 4) testing any new sources of water proposed for injection after ASR operations commence.
