MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

DANA WHITE

Manager at Augustine Grill in Castle Rock About me I was born in Toledo, Ohio, and grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. During a summer postgraduate program in 1983 in Denver, I fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and everything this amazing state has to offer. I moved here in 1984 and, after 33 years, feel like I have achieved “native” status! I am married with two daughters, 19 and 21 years old. I love the “small-town” feel of Castle Rock, the independent retail stores and the restaurants.

Working at Augustine Grill I have been with the Augustine Grill on and off since we opened in 1997. The owners, Mike and Anna Linney, are two of my oldest and dearest friends. I knew I wanted to be part of the restaurant at the very beginning, but my family kept me busy for many years. In 2014, I came back on a full-time basis. I love meeting the people that enjoy the Augustine Grill, but I think my favorite thing is listening

Teacher time survey indicates heavy workload Douglas County educators spend many hours on non-instructional activities

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each year, Douglas County School District teachers are spending about 1,035 hours of their time on noninstructional activities, according to a new survey commissioned by the district.

District teachers are contracted for 185 days per year. This means educators are spending an estimated 5.6 hours per day on tasks that do not involve face-to-face interaction with students. It is the equivalent of 43 round-the-clock days each year.

“So, I think the myth that teachers only work nine months per year is busted by this,” said board of education member David Ray said.

The school board contracted Denver-based RMC Research to conduct the survey and the group shared its findings at the March 7 school board meeting.

Dr. Shelley H. Billig of RMC said little research had been done on the subject and that the only comparable study they could find came out of Nova Scotia, Canada.

“You are at the forefront of looking at these type of things,” Billig said.

The online survey of about 1,500 teachers focused on the 2015-16 school year. The survey looked at the nature and extent of the non-instructional responsibilities and requirements of DCSD teachers.

Non-instructional time is time not spent working with students face to face. Some of this time takes place during the school day, but also includes additional time outside of the classroom.

Another focus of the survey was the amount of time spent by DCSD teachers on non-instructional activities, including: professional development, in-service days, planning activities and administration of required state testing.

Teachers spend the largest potion of their non-instructional time (43 percent) on planning. Assessment (17 percent) came in second, then school management (15 percent). Assessment includes the grading of papers, and school management encompasses things like administrative tasks and school events.

Parent communication commanded 9 percent of teacher’s time and using the CITE Evaluation tool took 6 percent.

CITE, Continuous Improvement of Teacher Effectiveness, has six components for measuring teacher effectiveness: Outcomes, Assessment,

Family Owned, Family Run • Colorado Company for Coloradans • 31 Years and Running • Award Winning • Residential and Commercial • Dedicated Friendly Staff

Instruction, Culture and Climate, Professionalism and Student Data.

Each of those categories contains a number of standards with a subset of criteria — totaling 31 in all — against which teachers are evaluated, according to the district website.

The evaluations are part of DCSD’s pay-for-performance program. Based on self-evaluations, evaluations by administrators and other factors, such as use of the district’s Guaranteed Viable Curriculum, each teacher is rated “highly effective,” “effective,” “partially effective” or “ineffective.”

Pay increases are tied to those ratings, as well as a market-based pay scale that pays some instructors more than others depending on what they teach.

Interim Superintendent Erin Kane said she “never met a teacher that worked a 7 1/2-hour day.” She said she hoped to eliminate excess time teachers spend on the uploading of materials for evaluations and other district-mandated activities.

“We absolutely need to look at what we are asking our teachers to spend their time on because their time is incredibly valuable,” Kane said.

RMC found that teachers with more than five years of experience at DCSD reported spending more overall time on non-instructional activities and more time on assessment, school management and CITE

evaluation.

Total non-instructional time use was significantly higher for elementary teachers (1,127 hours) than for middle (1,045 hours) and high school (943 hours) teachers.

Elementary teachers said they spent more time on instructional planning, school management, parent communication and CITE evaluation.

The survey of district teachers was confidential. An advisory group of 39 teachers aided researchers in developing the survey.

“I think it’s alarming for us to think about the (number of days) teachers are spending beyond their 185 day contract on non-instructional things,” Ray said.

Board Vice President Judith Reynolds said the board “needs to recognize that we do ask people to do things outside of the time they spend in the building.”

“I think having a better idea of what those activities are is really, really important, but let’s try and find that balance as we look at this information,” Reynolds said.

Board President Meghann Silverthorn said she was not surprised by the findings and that she hopes the board can make changes that will “help relieve some of that burden.”

The board said it would revisit the issue of how teachers spend their time at a future meeting to offer suggestions and strategies to help.

Castle Rock man faces weed trafficking charges Illegal grows sent marijuana across state lines, officials say

INDICTMENT NAMES 16 PEOPLE The following people were indicted following a months-long investigation into an enterprise that allegedly operated illegal marijuana grows and transported pot across state lines:

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Castle Rock man has been arrested and named in an indictment that alleges he was a leader of a large-scale marijuana-trafficking ring that transported pot illegally grown at multiple locations on the Front Range across state lines.

The multi-jurisdictional investigation culminated in raids on 19 locations throughout the Denver metro area on March 16, bringing 15 people into custody, including Michael Stonehouse, 53, of Castle Rock. The indictment describes Stonehouse, who is being held on $1 million bond, as leading an enterprise that distributed marijuana to Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.

The 37-page document says most of the pot that was distributed was illegally grown in warehouses or farms in Elizabeth, Denver and Colorado Springs. While it is lawful to grow limited amounts of marijuana in Colorado, the quantities grown at the locations Stonehouse were more than legally permitted, authorities say, and it is illegal to transport pot out of state.

Raids took place in Denver, El Paso, Douglas, Elbert and Arapahoe counties.

One suspect remains at large, although he is not in the state of Colorado, said 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler.

Approximately 200 local, state and federal law enforcement officers carried out the operation, effectively shutting down a ring that allegedly produced more than 300 pounds of marijuana a month, according to officials.

“They accomplished this in large part through a network of folks who used cell phones, coded language, all sorts of information like that to try to defeat the system,” Brauchler said in a news conference March 17.

18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler announces the indictment of 16 people connected to a marijuana-trafficking drug ring in the Front Range. JESSICA GIBBS Stonehouse faces more than a dozen felony charges, including participating in organized crime, conspiracy to distribute 50 pounds or more of marijuana, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The criminal acts date to March 2014, and the most recent one occurred early this month, Brauchler said.

Drug exchanges were carried out in in highly populated areas and during broad daylight, Brauchler said. According to the indictment, that included a Starbucks parking lot in Castle Pines.

The investigation began after 845 plants — worth $5.1 million and weighing 2,500 pounds — were seized in September 2016 from a property in Elizabeth on County Road 13 owned

by Stonehouse, the indictment says.

That generated numerous leads, which opened the broader investigation, Brauchler said.

During the March 16 raids, law enforcement seized 39 weapons, including handguns, shotguns and rifles.

Brauchler was not aware of any officers being injured while making arrests. Warrants were also issued to seven banks for 22 different accounts.

Also during the raids, law enforcement discovered two hash-oil extraction labs, one in Elbert County and one in Denver.

Between 2014 and 2016, Stonehouse received more than $1 million in cash deposits into accounts he controlled, according to the indictment.

the trafficking ring, and others like it, are motivated to circumvent the legal system for financial gain — and they endanger communities in the process.

“Yes, marijuana is being grown in Colorado for the specific goal of being sold and distributed outside of the state,” Roach said at the March 17 news conference.

Steve Johnson, chief deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, said criminal enterprises like the one mentioned in the indictment rarely follow laws or building codes, hijacking water, electrical and chemical resources.

“Without flinching, we’re going to take these on,” he said, “and fight to protect our communities.”

Trusty band of volunteers keeps Castle Rock trails pristine Emergency happening? Be among the first to know.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Steve Beggs moved to town with his family in 2009. One factor in choosing the home they bought, he said, was the great access to local trail systems. Their home is a quarter mile from an access point to trail systems in Ridgeline Open Space in The Meadows.

“We use the trails every single day,” the Castle Rock resident said.

About a year ago, Beggs and his wife were enjoying a bike ride along the trails when they rounded a corner and saw a familiar group.

Members of the Ridgeline Wranglers, a volunteer organization that maintains the trails, were fast at work on one of their monthly outings. Beggs, knowing the trail was too wet for them to use that day, guessed what came next.

“I thought, `Uh oh, we’re in trouble,’ ” he said with a smile.

The volunteers gave them a quick scolding, but then recruited Beggs into the group. He’s been a member ever since. His wife and children also join the volunteers on occasion.

Volunteers help out city crew The story still gets a laugh from Lisa Sorbo, the town’s Parks, Open Space and Trails program volunteer coordinator. Sorbo started the Ridgeline Wranglers eight years ago after residents began reporting poor trail conditions.

“Since I started, the amount of softsurface trail that we have has tripled,” Sorbo said of Castle Rock.

Maintaining an ever-growing trail system was more than Castle Rock’s maintenance staff of 14 people could reasonably handle, Sorbo said.

“We just don’t have enough manpower to cover every mile of soft-service trail by ourselves,” she said.

So, she sought a solution.

Sorbo brought the dilemma to Castle Rock staff, who reviewed the trail damage, namely erosion, and determined only simple repairs were needed. Sorbo got the green light to recruit as volunteers the residents who’d reported the problems.

“I give them all the credit,” she said.

“They were really the ones who identified the problem and asked us to come up with a solution.”

What began as a group of about five people has today grown to one of approximately 100 individuals. They pick one Saturday a month and spend three hours searching out trail damage and making necessary repairs. Sometimes eight volunteers show up, sometimes closer to 20.

By being involved, recruits like Beggs have come to learn what creates trail damage.

Common problems facing trail systems are overgrowth of foliage, water erosion or misuse by trail visitors.

Examples include cutting corners, which widens the path, or as Beggs will tell, using trails when they are muddy, which creates rutting.

But Beggs isn’t alone.

Matt Curtis, who uses the trails for running, is in his fourth year volun-

Members of the Ridgeline Wranglers often work to fix water erosion along the trails.

COURTESY PHOTO teering with Ridgeline Wranglers. His involvement turned into a learning experience, he said. He can now look at trail damage and know what caused it.

“It’s been really eye-opening,” Curtis said, “because it gives you a perspective on how much work has to go into keeping the trails as nice as they are.”

Giving back to community Curtis, also a Castle Rock resident, said he doesn’t mind the time and effort. To him, the work is rewarding. It’s gratifying to use the trails and know he personally helped keep them nice.

Ryan Osborne, one of the Ridgeline Wrangler’s first crew leaders, said that mentality holds group members accountable.

“You’re not going to go out and ride if the trail is muddy and tear it up if you just spent Saturday cleaning it up,” he said.

Curtis called Castle Rock’s trail systems a huge asset, and Osborne knows just why that is.

“It provides just a little bit of calm, a little bit of quiet,” he said.

Osborne says they see parents running the trails while pushing a stroller, they see deer bedding down, or sometimes, they see hikers who packed a picnic to enjoy at one of the trail vantage points.

“It really gives everybody a place to go be,” he said.

For crew leaders like Osborne, the town provides training through Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, an organization that partners with conservation and land agencies to generate a volunteer workforce in the state. There they learn how to identify problems on the trails and the proper fixes. They then guide other volunteers through the process.

The program helps keep Castle Rock’s Ridgeline trails as one of the local assets its residents have come to love. Without the Ridgeline Wranglers, Curtis, Beggs and Osborne expect trails would be in poorer shape — and cost the town money.

“A lot of the users, especially at Ridgeline, are really passionate about the trail,” Sorbo said. “A lot of them want to give back.”

Owner, pilot of firefighting helicopter have storied history in the industry Rampart provides exclusive, call-as-needed contract for county

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pointing to a poster hung on the wall of his hangar, dotted with various types of helicopters, Jeff Armstrong of Rampart Helicopter Service singles out which helicopters his pilot, Brian Toomey, has flown.

“These, these, all these, these,” Armstrong said, moving down the rows.

Today, at almost 60, Toomey has racked up more than 30 years of flying experience.

“That’s all I know how to do,” he said.

On March 14, as dry conditions persisted along the Front Range, Douglas County renewed its contract with Rampart. The exlusive-use agreement begins April 1 and lasts through March 31, 2018.

Toomey, who jokes he’ll have to retire from flying to a job at Walmart, got his start after entering the U.S. Army at age 27, where he learned to fly in a Huey.

“I started out in this thing in the Army,” he said of Armstrong’s helicopter, also a Huey. “Now, it’s prob-

flying for corporate helicopter companies. But then Armstrong opened Rampart in 2007. Toomey had previously worked for Armstrong’s brother, and when he heard about the chance to fly solo with Rampart, the rest was history.

Armstong had his sights set on a career flying in the military as well, but was deemed too tall. Instead, he ran a similar company to Rampart with his brother in Montana until opening shop in Castle Rock in 2007.

Over the years, the duo has formed a close relationship while enjoying what Toomey called a coveted job.

Since 2012, that job has involved an exclusive contract with Douglas County, in which Toomey flies off to help fight wildfires whenever needed, providing critical air support to battle the blazes.

When a wildfire encroached on Coors brewery in Golden on March 9, Toomey was there. When the Chatridge fire threatened northern Douglas County homes in October, Toomey could be seen flying his helicopter back and forth, a bucket dangling below him in the sky.

Helping to fight fires may be Armstrong’s and Toomey’s main role, but the other is to help train Douglas County fire and rescue personnel.

By 10 a.m. on March 15, members of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office hand crew, the men and women who combat wildfires from the ground, had nearly completed a hike through Castle Rock’s southern hills.

Waiting for them at Rampart Helicopter Services, based in Castle Rock, were Toomey and Armstrong, ready for a day of training.

Following the hike, the hand crew circled around Armstrong and Toomey as the two taught the group how their Huey fights fires.

The helicopter’s main responsibility is getting water to the scene, Emergency Management Supervisor Mike Alexander said.

Toomey and Armstrong have two buckets, one collapsible, and the other that holds 320 gallons, which Toomey can dip into pools, ponds or even septic tanks if water sources are sparse.

In the case of an extremely rural fire, however, Toomey may need to transport the hand crew members in the helicopter.

There are some do’s and don’ts when working around a helicopter, they said. Always approach or leave the helicopter at the same elevation, or at a downward slope. Never walk uphill, a mistake even experienced fliers can make, Toomey told the crew.

“You’ve got to police yourselves and take care of yourselves,” he said.

Stay within the pilot’s line of sight so he knows where everyone is in proximity to the helicopter. Never approach toward the rear of the aircraft.

Alexander, occasionally jumping in, advised crew members to trust Toomey. Not all pilots have his 30year, varied experience. You might see others crash the bucket into trees, he said, or even people. But Toomey knows the job, he can make a drop and he’s got Alexander’s full trust.

“Not every pilot is Brian,” Alexander said.

For now, that Walmart job is just a thought.

Toomey enjoys his small apartment, built by Armstrong and attached to the hangar, which replaced the trailer he once lived in. The apartment door, marked with a sign reading “radioactive,” gives him privacy but quick access to the helicopter if needed.

Toomey and Armstrong, after 10 years on the job, know they are always on call.

But that’s fine with them.

“I got a job,” Toomey said, “that a lot of people would really give anything for.”

Law enforcement officers come together for good cause Heads were shaved and money was raised at St. Baldrick’s event

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In early March, participants stood in line with anxious excitement, waiting to lose something dear of theirs, their hair, for a good cause.

The Arapahoe and Douglas County sheriff ’s offices teamed to raise money and shave off their hair for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Littleton and Castle Rock’s police departments also participated as separate teams. The event took place March 4 at the Family Resource Pavilion, 9700 E Easter Lane, Centennial.

“A week ago, I looked like a Chia Pet,” Arapahoe Deputy Brian McKnight joked while brushing his hand over his recently shaved head.

McKnight has lost his mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law to cancer.

St. Baldrick’s is a volunteer-run charity that funds more childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government, according to the event website.

The event’s participants raised $13,374, with the Arapahoe and Douglas sheriff ’s offices contributing $8,964.

Volunteers gather to get their heads shaved for the St. Baldrick’s event in Centennial on March 4.

While at the event, participants were encouraged to leave the event lacking hair and gaining a story to share about donating to cancer research.

Many Douglas County deputies, who are permitted to grow beards, shaved their facial hair in front of

the crowds. Participating Arapahoe County deputies all shaved their heads.

Many officers were at the event to represent Corbin, an Arapahoe County deputy’s nephew who is in remission after fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma since 2010.

“Corbin and I were sitting up there, getting our heads shaved at the same time and laughing,” McKnight said.

“Just seeing him so healthy now and excited was the best part. When you see kids like Corbin up there, who have experienced cancer and are doing better, that is why we do this.”

‘A program like this shows these kids the consequences’ Douglas County’s drug prevention program prepares to launch nationally

ADVICE FROM Y.E.S.S. STUDENTS • Marcus Bonney, seventh-grader at Ranch View Middle School “Don’t take anything from strangers and don’t reveal anything about yourself online. Don’t fall into peer pressure because it can change your life forever.”

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At a middle school career fair, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy Jay Martin received an unexpected comment from an eighth-grade student.

“She came up to me and said, ‘I wanted to thank you,’ ” Martin said.

“I said, ‘for what?’ ” “She said, ‘Well, you saved my life.’”

The girl had considered taking her own life after a difficult battle with depression and other issues. Martin’s presentation of his Y.E.S.S. program to her class encouraged her to seek professional help.

“That was so inspirational,” Martin said.

Y.E.S.S. — Youth Education and Safety in Schools — is a program created by the sheriff ’s office for elementary, middle and high schools in the Douglas County School District.

It covers the topics of teen relationships, digital safety and substance abuse.

Martin developed the curriculum nine years ago when the sheriff at the time, David Weaver, now a county commissioner, met with Douglas

the stuff that we were seeing as law enforcement.”

Curriculum always up-to-date Internet safety, Martin said, was a priority. The curriculum is constantly updated to stay current, and has added Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and other social media to the program.

“They are generation Z,” Martin said. “They are born with devices in their hands and, basically, lack emotional intelligence in their lives by talking to devices and not people.”

In addition to substance abuse and internet safety education, bullying, harassment and dating abuse topics are discussed with teens in growing depth as they progress from sixth to ninth grade.

Eventually, the program will involve upperclassman education for students in their sophomore year and older, Martin said. He mentioned adding distracted driving to the program and furthering discussion on drug abuse, internet safety and relationship issues.

“We are working together to con-

Douglas County’s law enforcement can communicate directly with students in Douglas and Elbert counties though an app called Text-a-Tip. The students using the app remain anonymous.

If students see someone selling drugs, bullying or threatening to hurt themselves or others, they can tell law enforcement about it immediately by using Text-a-Tip. The sheriff’s office does not release how to download the app to the public in order to keep it specifically for middle and high school students. tinuously update and improve the program,” said Lisa Kantor, Douglas County School District’s health and wellness director. “We are exploring ways to continue this relationship in the future.”

The program, used in all Douglas County public schools, reaches 20,000 to 30,000 kids a year, and that number is expanding.

Clear Creek County, Loveland Police Department, Arapahoe County, Jefferson County, Arvada, Golden and Manitou Springs are some Colorado communities and jurisdictions that have adopted or are looking to adopt the program.

SEE YESS, P19

LEARNING KINDNESS Ranch Valley Middle School teacher, Winston Murrell, often works with Deputy Jay Martin on adding curriculum to Y.E.S.S. Recently, the topic of kindness was added.

At the end of a class, Martin said, students are encouraged to perform one random act of kindness.

After the lesson at one of the schools, students decided to sit next to a new kid at lunch who had been sitting alone for several weeks. Martin said the school secretary reached out to him in tears, mentioning that it was the first time she had seen the new student smile.

Martin said this is an attempt to prevent bullying. He mentioned Kiana’s Law, a Colorado law that came into effect July 2015 after a

ThunderRidge High School student, Kiana Arellano, attempted to take her life after receiving hurtful text messages.

“When you are texting, do you see their face?

Do you hear their voice? No, you don’t,” Martin said. “So they keep sending those mean, nasty, hurtful things.”

The law classifies cyberbullying as a misdemeanor form of harassment, punishable by a fine of up to $750 and/or up to six months in jail.

“Kids in today’s society do not say things face to face, they say things to their device,” Murrell said. “With the Y.E.S.S. program incorporating the cyberbullying, the teen relationships, the emotional intelligence — it is a real practical application to their lives.”

Building a road map to blended learning

STAFF REPORT

AllHealth Network announced the appointment of a new chief executive -officer on March 15.

William Hendricks, who will also serve on AllHealth’s board of directors, succeeds Joan DiMaria, who retired last fall.

“I am honored and excited to be joining an organization that has been at the forefront of mental illness and substance abuse treatment in Colorado for more than 60 years,” Hendricks said.

AllHealth Network, formerly Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, provides behavioral health services in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Hendricks was chosen following a nationwide search. He has worked in be-

havioral healthcare as both a psychologist and an administrator for more than 25 years, most recently as vice president and chief operations officer at Seton Shoal Creek Behavioral Health Services in Austin, Texas.

“Dr. Hendricks’ expertise in behavioral healthcare and his industry leadership will help pave the way for AllHealth Network to continue to grow and persevere in an increasingly competitive and ever-evolving behavioral healthcare market,” board chair John Phillips said.

Hendricks holds a Ph.D. and master’s degree in psychology from Miami (Ohio) University and a master’s degree in business administration from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

learning as well as increasing enrollment in alternative education options that are effective and inexpensive.

The first third of the meeting involved questions for the dozen attendees, who came from all over the metro area. Questions centered on equality in learning, barriers to blended learning and priorities for schools. The open discussion made up the bulk of the meeting, which allowed attendees to share their experiences and challenges taking a blended learning approach.

“Blended Learning has to be part of the vision for the future,” said Cathy Baune, assistant principal at the Jefferson County Virtual Academy. “But in so many ways our schools are still stuck in the 1800s approach.”

Other attendees spoke about a lack of willingness from teachers and schools as a whole to provide this blended approach, and the fact that teachers don’t have to time to learn the technology, a new style of teaching and curriculum requirements.

“It’s important we as educators understand where the state wants to go,” Felker said. “There are a lot of requirements that have to be reconciled, but it’s encouraging the state wants to solve some of these problems.”

Staff from Keystone will take the feedback from this and other meetings planned across the state, and attempt to craft the state’s new digital learning plan by June or July.

“We’ve found it takes a little while for students to understand the blended approach,” said Cheryl Mosier, a teacher at Columbine High School. “But once they understand it and the benefits, they love it.”

Staff from the Keystone Policy Center came away from the first meeting on the best way to increase blended learning opportunities — using a digital component for some or all of the instruction — with good and bad news.

The good news — there is definite support for providing access to blended learning, which is an education program where a student uses digital content and traditional learning at a school, all under the help of a teacher.

The bad is there is no clear path to bringing everyone on board to supporting this approach, or how to ensure schools and teachers have the proper resources to make the approach work for students.

“The focus on personalized learning is great, but there’s not a lot of time to teach that to our teachers,” said Jeremy Felker, director of Jefferson County’s instructional data reporting department. “How do we provide the resources and time to support our students?”

The March 8 meeting at the Lakewood Library was the first in a series supported by Colorado Empowered Learning, a state program working to enhance education through blended learning, to be held throughout the state with education leaders and stakeholders to provide a road map for implementation of the approach.

“The objective of this and the other meetings we’re holding is to gain perspectives on opportunities, gaps and challenges when it comes to blended learning,” said Julie Shapiro, senior policy director with Keystone. “It’s not just about blended learning, but how it contributes to the state’s educational offerings.”

The meetings are a result of House Bill 16-1222, which was passed during last year’s legislative session and commissioned the creation of a blended learning road map. The map will focus on expanding the availability of supplemental education courses and blended

Actually, let your babies grow up to be cowboys — or anything else they want WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

W

ell maybe Willie Nelson said it slightly differently: “Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / Don’t let ‘em pick guitars or drive them old trucks / Let ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such / Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / ‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone / Even with someone they love.”

I heard Willie’s song the other day and I reflected on what my answer might have been when I was asked the question all children are asked at some point, “What is it you want to be when you grow up?” The question might come

from a teacher or a parent or grandparent, but at some point, we are all asked the question.

There are some statistics that point to the fact that approximately 30 percent of people end up working in careers they dreamed of as children.

So what happens to the other 70 percent of us?

Maybe our dreams and desires changed as we matured or went through school and found other interests. Maybe when we graduated there were no job openings in our field or in the area where we lived, so we were forced to find other work. In some cases, even for some of us well into the latter part of our careers, we never quite knew what we really wanted to be or do.

I don’t remember exactly what my answers were when I was a young boy and was asked what I wanted to be, but somewhere I do remember seeing myself following in the footsteps of my grandfather. But what I do remember is the feeling I had when I was already well into my own career and asking my own children what they wanted to be when they grew up. And I remember their answers. I loved to ask them the question over and over again and as they aged their answers did change, but their dreams did not, and that is the point.

When a man loves a dachshund, he’ll spend his very last dime

I LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We should decide how taxes are spent Once again, the commissioners of Douglas County prove that fiscal responsibility is an alien concept.

The law enforcement driver training center and the crime lab are two more projects that are unneeded and an abuse of the intent of the Justice Center sales tax fund.

The fund exists because we voted for a sales tax to build the Justice Center but it was worded to allow the commissioners and the sheriff to go on spending sprees. If you were presented with these projects as a ballot issue, knowing that you would be taxed for them, would you vote for them? I am willing to bet you wouldn’t and they would lose.

The Justice Center is a facility that serves the county well. As the county grows, especially with the additional retail business, the sales tax fund will continue to increase. Rather than use the money collected for more Justice Center related projects that have questionable benefit

to the citizens of Douglas County, why don’t we apply the money where it is really needed, for example, to our roads. Applying the revenue to the general fund and lowering our property taxes by an equal amount will allow the county to deal with the impact of future growth and present maintenance while allowing you to keep a little bit more of the money you earn.

One of the commissioners, Lora Thomas, is looking to make this change but she will need support from the voters. When Commissioner Thomas was elected coroner, she took over a department rife with inefficiency and a bloated budget. Thomas cleaned up that mess and returned more than $1 million to the taxpayers.

Help Commissioner Thomas do the same for the rest of the county. Contact her and get the facts. Also contact the other commissioners and tell them enough is enough. Demand that they put this issue on the ballot so we can re-purpose this tax for projects that are really needed.

QUIET DESPERATION

f you believe in dog years, Smitty is 13 going on 91.

I believe in dog ears.

If you have ever taken a long look (he said) at a dachshund, you know that they have long, hanging ears.

What’s that for?

It’s not a genetic whim.

My son was bred to hunt underground animals, by digging into their burrows. Long ears keep the flying dirt out of their ear canals.

Smitty doesn’t know anything about this.

He is not a hunter, unless there is such a thing as hunting for naps.

Dachshunds are teased in films, commercials, cartoons, and endlessly in person. We don’t stand for it.

It’s bullying. Try bullying a pit bull instead. See where that gets you.

You might be amused by a dachshund in a foam rubber hot dog bun with foam rubber mustard, but not us.

I’d enact a law against costuming dogs.

Buy a doll. Don’t buy a dog and put a hat on it.

Sweaters are fine. However, sweaters with cute sayings sewn into them are not.

“Get a long little doggie,” is unacceptable.

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Factor-based investing is something to consider

nvestors are growing impatient with the latest stock market rally. But a downturn would not make anyone happy either. Therefore, we have a dilemma. Do you cash out and miss gro\wth potential? Do you buy more despite the elevated stock prices? Should you hunker down with more bonds even though rising interest rates would hurt your returns?

Perhaps the answer is beyond your traditional thinking. Yes, asset allocation works over long periods of time. However, it works best if the investor does not try and second-guess the process. For those of you who need more, you can consider factorbased investing.

This is not a new concept. Eugene Fama and Kenneth French first wrote about this in 1992 when they identified that the

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

I believe our responsibility to our children, our nieces and nephews, grandchildren or people we mentor at any level is to help them learn to dream and help give them guidance as they go through their journey. Of course we want the very best for those in our care, and we can never give in to forcing our hand upon where their dreams will take them. It would be wonderful if they became doctors and lawyers and such as Willie Nelson sings, as long as that is what fulfills their own goals and dreams.

Here’s the other point. We see more and more that our children are being raised in an era of social media and are receiving input from many sources with a variety of views. Without proper guidance, social input and influence

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

I’d like to hear him sing this column.

“Nature Boy” starts out, “There was a boy, a very strange, enchanted boy.”

I don’t think Smitty is particularly strange or enchanted.

However, the song continues, “Then one day, a magic day, he passed my way.”

It was a magic day when we met.

Badger, also a dachshund, had just died.

Smitty and I made eye contact at the shelter. He nodded, I nodded, and I took him home.

According to a Department of Agriculture report, it costs $233,610 to raise a child from birth through 17 (therefore, not including college).

Owning a dog is somewhat less expensive, but it’s not cheap.

Smitty’s sticker price was just $135.00.

A bargain.

size and value of stocks are good factors to apply to investing. You may have heard the term “Smart Beta,” which is largely built on the factor-based concept and has grown in popularity recently.

Concepts like these only seem to come out of the woodwork when investors are searching for something more enticing than their normal allocation. There is no assurance that factor-based investing will work better than anything else, but the historical statistics are compelling and worth a look.

The concept is that you can garner better diversification across domestic equities by selecting certain factors found to drive returns. Factor-based investing is mainly focused on equities and may not give you much exposure to traditional diversification that may also

could either work to shape the future of our children or rob the true passions of our children. It is so important that we make sure to counter balance the social input with good questioning and listening skills so that we can give them the very best chance at becoming and/ or doing whatever it is they would like to do. We are not flying the airplane nor landing it for them, we are just providing some navigation along the way.

So how about you? How about the young people in your own life? Do they have hopes and dreams of what they would like to be one day? I would love to hear those stories at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can help someone else become all it is that they want to be, it really will be a better than good week.

include bonds and commodities.

Because different factors can be in and out of favor at different times, you have lower correlations within the portfolio. This is where the diversification benefits come into play.

For example, for the value factor, you would select stocks based on metrics like priceto-earnings and price-to-book alone. Then by adding a tilt toward smaller-sized companies, you gain exposure to the size factor. Adding another group of stocks based on price momentum and yet another on low volatility or risk and you have a portfolio exposed to four factors, all with different attributes. The momentum stocks will generally take advantage of stocks performing well in growth cycles.

The low-risk stocks will tend to be more defensive. Usually

small-company stocks behave very differently than large companies and undervalued stocks appear to have more upside potential.

Now you need to add the discipline. Nothing works quite like rules when you are investing other people’s money. It is extremely important to monitor and adjust the portfolio as these stocks shift in price, size, momentum and risk. This is not a buy-and-hold strategy but rather an active process that needs to engage the investor to act quickly and without emotion when the numbers call for a shift. It is best if IRA assets are used in this strategy to avoid the tax complications associated with short-term changes to the portfolio.

Women supporting women ‘was never a new idea’ Expectant mothers turn to doulas for better birth experiences

Denise Grovo, left, recuperates as her doula, Sarah Lopez, center, stands beside V. Miller and her new baby, whom Grovo carried as a surrogate.

Grovo paid for half of Lopez’s doula services out-of-pocket to have her there to help when needed.

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes it’s easier for a doula to describe what she isn’t than to define what she is.

“I’m your support person, I’m not a doctor. I’m not your husband,” Denise Grovo, a doula in training, tells her first client, Centennial attorney Lauren da Cunha. “I can’t prescribe medication. I can’t catch the baby.”

Grovo, of Parker, takes diligent notes, creating a birth plan — a list of the things da Cunha wants and doesn’t want — for the delivery of her first child, due in June.

She writes down how long da Cunha wants to wait before cutting the umbilical cord and how soon the baby will be brought to her for skin-to-skin contact.

She reminds da Cunha that doctors will make the ultimate decision about using an epidural or performing a cesarean section, but she’ll make sure it’s necessary before they go forward.

Her place is beside da Cunha, not between her and her doctors.

“I’m there for as long as you need me to be,” Grovo says, to offer massages, counseling and whatever else she can do to make the delivery go smoothly.

Her overnight bag is always at the ready.

The doula — a Greek word meaning “women’s servant” — is becoming more popular as emerging research shows the benefits of supporting mothers throughout labor and childbirth.

Data from Doulas of North America International, one of several doula certification organizations, show approximately 94 doulas in Colorado from their program alone.

Doulas offer expectant mothers information, emotional support and in some cases, postpartum and breast-feeding

percent less likely to have a cesarean section

percent less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to induce labor

“If there are people out there who have that experience and I can draw from it, why wouldn’t I?” she says.

“That sense of the unknown will be less if I’ll be able to turn to someone and say `what is going on?’ I think it will be helpful to have that peace of mind.”

The most recent numbers seem to validate da Cunha’s hope.

A 2011 study by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other women’s health groups show mothers who use doulas spend less time in labor, use pain medication such as epidurals less often, have fewer cesarean sections and are significantly less likely to report a negative birthing experience.

“It was never a new idea,” says Penny Lyon, a trainer with DONA. “It goes back to Biblical times.”

A movement began in the United States in the 1970s to improve support for women as studies showed women were less fearful if they had someone to take care of them during labor, Lyons says.

“We were just women supporting women having babies,” she says. “I think we were called hippies at that time.”

percent less likely to use pain medication

A 2016 study by maternal advocacy groups Choices in Childbirth and Childbirth Connections concluded that the reduction in cesarean births from doula care could save Medicaid at least $646 million per year, and private insurers around $1.73 billion annually.

deliver babies, including Grovo. Like Lyon, she sees acceptance of doulas coming full circle.

“There was this time when the whole village labored together,” she says.

“Now we’re circling back to that.”

After having her first child without the aid of a doula, Grovo says her second delivery was more relaxed. She, her husband and Lopez laid out a plan long before her labor pains started, leaving her fewer decisions to make on the spot.

“It’s just too much,” she says. “It was nice to tell Sarah (what we wanted) and then go and relax and let my body do the work.”

Now, Grovo hopes to provide that same peace of mind for da Cunha.

She’ll deal with the details so da Cunha can focus on what she needs to do.

“You’re running a marathon,” Grovo says. “You don’t need to be worrying about those other things.”

Construction defects bill goes to ‘kill committee’ At South Metro Chamber panel, reform advocates bemoan lack of progress

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Left to right; real estate developer Buz Koelbel, Rep. Cole Wist, Sen. Angela Williams and Sen. Jack Tate discussed efforts to reform construction defects laws at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on March 15. Not pictured are Home Ownership Opportunity Alliance Chair Mike Kopp, Rep. Alec Garnett and Ted Leighty of the Colorado Association of Realtors.

KYLE HARDING “And there’s many reasons why they’re not being built.”

Williams voted against SB 156, but has supported other construction defect reform legislation this session, including co-sponsoring SB 045. The bill, still under consideration in the Senate, would require courts hearing defect lawsuits in which more than one insurer has a duty to defend a party to apportion the cost of defense among all of them. Williams said reforming insurance laws could draw insurers that have left Colorado back into the market.

Condos are more likely to lead to construction defect lawsuits because homeowners have standing to sue that renters lack. But Kopp, a former Republican state senator and the chair of the pro-reform group Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, said apartments around the region, presumably built by the same companies that would build condos, are built to a high standard.

“Builders have somehow found a way to build apartments that don’t fall over and kill people,” he said.

Wist, a lawyer, blames lawyers for the lack of change to construction defect laws.

“Lawyers are opposed to this reform because they are making a lot of money,” he said.

Garnett, who introduced the compromise bill, has high hopes for it.

“This bill will establish a fair and balanced process for all homeowners and will establish confidence in the marketplace for developers to break ground,” he said in a statement after it was introduced.

A construction defects reform bill that lawmakers had high hopes for is likely headed for defeat in the state House of Representatives after being assigned to the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on March 14.

Senate Bill 156, introduced last month and passed by the Senate earlier this month, would have required homeowner associations to obtain the written consent of a majority of owners in the association before filing a defects lawsuit, as well as disclose the projected cost of the claim and enter into thirdparty arbitration.

However, state legislators introduced a compromise bill, House Bill 1279, in the house on March 17 that would require majority consent of HOA members and disclosure of cost estimates, but does not have the arbitration requirements.

Denver real estate developer Buz Koelbel expressed dismay at the state of SB-156 during a Business Leaders for Responsible Government forum at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial on March 15.

“I’m disgusted,” Koelbel said, referring to the assignment as a “kill committee.”

While SB-156 has drawn support from mayors around the metro area, it was opposed by the group Build Our Homes Right, which said it would shift private arbitration costs onto homeowners.

Koelbel joined several state lawmakers on the panel: Sen. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver, Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, and Rep. Alec Garnett, D-Denver. Homeownership Opportunity Alliance Chair Mike Kopp and Ted Leighty of the Colorado Association of Realtors also joined the panel to discuss the variety of construction defects reforms introduced in the Legislature this session.

Advocates of construction defect reform say the status quo is preventing the building of affordablypriced condominiums in the state due to the threat of costly lawsuits.

Wist, a sponsor of SB 156 and several other similar efforts, said he believes the bill could have passed in the Democrat-majority house.

“There’s a reason why bills go to kill committees,” he said. “It’s because leadership does not want them to see the light of day.”

Democrats control the House, while Republicans are the majority in the Senate.

“We need condominiums built in our state,” Williams said, referring to them as a gap between apartments and single-family homes.

LIFE A family business affair

March 23, 2017M

Three area couples who work together share their secrets

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or Mark Albrecht, the key to running a business with his wife on a daily basis is for each to know their strengths and weaknesses.

“One of the things that I think is critical is to allow the other to lead in their sweet spot, what they’re good at,” he said.

Kim, for instance, is exceptional at social media. Mark focuses on longrange planning issues.

“I like to think and look ahead and plan ahead,” he said.

The Albrechts own Cream City Market, which they run out of their Littleton home. The business revolves around selling a regional delicacy from their home state of Wisconsin — cheese curds — the solid parts of curdled milk.

Before starting Cream City Market, Mark worked in industrial sales and Kim worked at a music conservatory.

But they’re not alone in going into business together. Small business researcher Glenn Muske of North Dakota State University has estimated that around one in 10 households owns a family-run business.

Jeremy and Katherine Yurek of Wheat Ridge also started a home-based business together. Katherine agrees with Mark Albrecht that letting each partner focus on what they’re good at is key.

“He’s way more organized than I am,” she says of her husband, Jeremy, her business partner at Baba and Pop’s Pierogi. While he handles buying supplies and most of the production of their products, she concentrates on online sales, marketing, press and booking events.

Baba and Pop’s, started as a food truck by Jeremy five years ago, is based around recipes for pierogi, filled Eastern European dumplings, handed down by his Polish immigrant greatgrandparents. The name, Baba and Pop’s, pays homage to them. The business has since expanded into online sales.

“It was his idea that you couldn’t really find great pierogi in Denver,” Katharine said.

Gwen and Patrick McCarroll, who own Java Jam Cafe, Restaurant and Guitar Bar at the Lincoln RTD Station in Lone Tree, also split up the work. Gwen handles the front-of-house operations, with Patrick taking the back-of-house duties as well as keeping the books.

But for the McCarrolls, the best advice is to get help.

“Don’t try to do everything yourself like we do,” Patrick said. “Because

TIPS FOR FAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES Careerbuilder.com has some advice for families considering going into business together: Put everything in writing Spelling things out from the start prevents misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and fights because the written documents serve as a point of reference. Details include what each person’s specific tasks and responsibilities are, how decisions are made, how compensation will be determined and what the business’ long-term goals and succession plan are.

Treat people fairly When it comes to managing family members, small business leaders often fall prey to extremes. They may fail to hold their relatives to the same high standards as other employees, or they may push too hard and be overly

critical. Either scenario sets the stage for resentment and discord.

Prioritize communication While frequent, prompt communication should be a priority at any small company, it is especially vital at a family business. Undiscussed problems run the risk of causing damage both in and out of the office.

Leave work at the office Don’t let your small business get in the way of enjoying time with loved ones outside the workplace. Constantly “talking shop” takes away from nurturing other aspects of your relationship. Try a no-business-atthe-dinner-table rule, cheer on a beloved baseball team together, or simply catch a movie that makes you both laugh. And don’t forget to give each other space.

you’re going to get tired.”

Java Jam has several employees, but Patrick said he and Gwen are almost always there.

Java Jam combines a coffee shop, a bar and a small music venue, and the McCarrolls play in their own duo, Power of Two. “We wanted to have a place where musicians could come and play,” Gwen said.

The McCarrolls had been in business together before opening Java Jam three years ago. They owned a construction company, and Gwen had the previous experience of helping run a coffee shop in Syracuse, New York.

Having a relationship that is already on solid ground is essential for running a family business, Kim Albrecht said.

“The same things that apply to your personal relationship can translate into a business relationship,” she said.

“And that can be good or bad.”

Mark and Kim Albrecht of Littleton own Cream City Market. Their advice to couples going into business together is to let each other specialize in what they are good at.

Katherine Yurek said she and Jeremy sometimes butt heads when setting goals for the business.

“We argue and we bicker,” she said, “but we easily get over it.”

Running a business means that couples will spend a lot of time together. The McCarrolls, who live across the street from Java Jam, spend nearly every moment together.

The Albrechts spent a lot of time together even before they started Cream City Market. They share hobbies and have the same group of friends.

“That set us up to succeed with this,” Mark said.

Being together is part of the appeal to Katharine Yurek. Before moving back to the Denver area from Nashville, Tennessee, Jeremy worked in the music industry. Katharine joined the business later after growing unhappy in her accounting career.

“We saw each other only at night,”

CONTACT INFORMATION Cream City Market www.creamcitymarket.com Baba & Pops Pierogi www.babaandpops.com Java Jam Cafe, Restaurant & Guitar Bar www.javajamcafe.com she said. “Now we get to see each other all the time.”

Though each couple acknowledges challenges in their businesses, it’s still what they want to be doing.

“We knew it was going to be hard,” Patrick McCarroll said. “But we both had the same idea of what we want to have happen here.”

For the Albrechts, the business allows them to chase their passion.

“We love food,” Kim said. “So the fact that we sell a food product is fun.”

Horse enthusiasts gallop to expo at stock show complex Training clinics and entertainment wrangle audiences from across Colorado

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

rom March 10-12, the National Western Stock Show Complex in Denver hosted more than 150 events for thousands of horses and horse lovers alike during the 2017 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo.

Throughout the weekend, nine arenas and event spaces simultaneously hosted horse-related clinics and events. Classes regarding riding, training, carriage driving and equine health were discussed at length.

Among the 45 clinicians, favorites included Colorado-based horse trainers Julie Goodnight, Justin Dunn and Cody Harrison.

Many classes included a “Ride with the Experts” portion, in which people could bring their horses to be personally evaluated and worked with as an audience watched and took note of the new skillset being learned.

Some classes were small clinics focused on specific skills that featured several riders and audience members. Some of these classes included controlling a horse’s speed or loading a horse into a trailer.

Justin Dunn, from Guffey, Colorado, taught a clinic about how to establish clear communication with a horse.

“Never use fear or pain to force a horse to submit,” Dunn said. “We ask the horse to consistently stay the same. We give him every opportunity to understand what we are asking… We want them to quietly respond to the questions we are asking.”

Julie Goodnight, of Poncha Springs, Colorado, taught a class called “Tips on how to ride til’ you’re 90.”

“Riding is not something you will ever stop learning,” Goodnight said. “You will never know everything there is to know about the sport.”

Other events herded larger crowds to the event arena. The Mane Event, a crowd pleaser music and light spectacle focusing on the diverse ability of the horse, drew crowds for all three nights.

Many audience members and potential new horse owners attended the Comeback Challenge, a competition that showcased rescue horses after they received professional training.

The rescue horses were later auctioned to new homes.

Putting the ‘Billy’ in ‘modbilly’ Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters to play PACE April 12

IF YOU GO...

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Where: PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, 80138 When: 7:30 p.m., April 12 Tickets: Prices range from $49 to $54 and are available by calling 303-805-6800, in person at the box office or online at parkerarts.ticketforce.com.

Most people in Parker know Billy Bob Thornton for his roles in Hollywood blockbusters, but he and his bandmates in The Boxmasters want to change that.

For the past 10 years, they have been writing, recording and touring — and on April 12 they’ll make a stop at Parker’s PACE Center.

They’re billed as Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, but Thornton said his name is spotlighted only to reach an audience beyond their core following in honky tonks and clubs throughout the Midwest.

“If I had my way it wouldn’t say that,” he said. “But I get it, from a business perspective… We started out with so much against us, we’re just now cracking through.”

Composed of Thornton on drums and vocals, J.D. Andrew on rhythm guitar and Teddy Andreadis on organ, the band has cranked out hun-

sound and leave Thornton free to interact with the audience and, on occasion, join them.

“Sometimes, people think they’re supposed to just sit there like they’re watching a symphony or something,” Thornton said. “If that happens I might go out into the audience and hang out with them.”

Regardless of how rowdy the crowd gets, Andrew said playing in a band with his best friends is “the perfect situation” and the realization of a lifelong dream.

Thornton, who has played in garage bands since he was a kid, said sharing that dream with an audience makes the experience that much sweeter.

“It gives me the thrill of when I was a teenager playing high school proms,” he said. “It’s that feeling of connecting with the audience and knowing if you’re on the same page.

There’s just no feeling like it.”

The Boxmasters, featuring from left, Billy Bob Thornton, Teddy Andreadis and J.D. Andrew will play the PACE Center at 7:30 p.m. April 12. The band’s music, described as “modbilly,” recalls American pop and British Invasion bands of the 1960s. COURTESY PHOTO dreds of songs and seven albums, with an eighth due out in the fall.

Writers coined the term “modbilly” to describe the band’s sound, a reference to the combination of influences from British bands like The Small Faces and American pop bands like the Beach Boys.

“We’re a distinctly American band,” Andrew said. “I mean, we love the British Invasion bands but we’re essentially Midwestern and southern guys. We go out and play our own songs … There’re no com-

puters or hard drives, or some sinister engineer in the background turning knobs.”

Thornton stops short of describing their sound, presenting his case directly to potential listeners.

“Just listen to it,” he said. “If you like it, you like it and if you don’t, you don’t.”

The core of the band is augmented by bassist Dave Fowler, lead guitarist Kirk McKim and drummer Eric “Meat Sweats” Rhoades for the tour.

Martin is also working to bring the program to schools nationally by the end of March. Even international interest in Y.E.S.S. has been expressed in China, Germany and Canada.

In the national program, Y.E.S.S. will be recognized as the curriculum base of a nonprofit organization called Digital Futures Initiative.

The nonprofit organization website will include a four-day instructor training, online curriculum for students and resources for parents.

“We give them coping skills of how to deal with and avoid things like cyberbullying, sexting and human trafficking,” Martin said. “It is a bizarre world we live in today, but it is why we teach parents about parental controls and tools like that.”

In the coming summer, Martin is presenting the Digital Futures Initiative at two national conferences: the School Safety Advocacy Council in Las Vegas, Nevada, and National Association for Resource Officers in

is why we teach parents about parental controls and tools like that.’

Jay Martin, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Deputy

Washington, D.C. “Everybody is interested in the curriculum,” Martin said.

Program ‘a blessing’ to students Winston Murrell, a middle school health teacher at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch for 21 years, believes the program has been extremely helpful to his students.

“It is a blessing,” Murrell said. “A program like this shows these kids the consequences. It shows them how you need to be responsible to yourself.

It is about accountability and responsibility.”

Marcus Bonney, a seventh-grader from Ranch View Middle School, was most impacted by the Y.E.S.S. teen relationship topic of peer pressure.

“Now, I am careful who I talk to and try not to fall into peer pressure,” Bonney said. “Peer pressure has definitely affected my friends.

One day, they will be the greatest kid ever. Then, the next day, they will do everything their friends do — it is not always good.”

When Bonney learned about marijuana, he remembered that substance users do not always know what they are doing, possibly injuring themselves or ending their own lives. “(Martin) showed us videos and news reports of kids doing marijuana,” Bonney said. “They don’t know what is going to happen to them.”

Ava Staver, a seventh-grader from Ranch View Middle School, believes the program has helped her and her classmates learn how to get out of difficult situations.

“We talked about how to say `no,’ ” Staver said. “Before, I was taught by my parents to yell `no’ and walk away. We learned other alternatives, like how you can give an alternative (activity) or you could tell your friend that you care about them and don’t want them doing something to themselves.”

Decreasing digital device ‘drama’ Principal challenges students to limit tech time

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

North Star Academy Principal Kendra Hossfeld doesn’t allow students to take cellphones out of their backpacks at school, but she can’t keep the effects of technology and social media out of the hallways.

Some children came to school feeling left out after seeing pictures of friends hanging out on Instagram. Others complain that their Snapchat streaks aren’t as long as those of their friends.

“I was tired of kids leaving at the end of the day then getting on social media and starting drama,” she said. “We’d have to deal with it here the next day,” A parent approached her, concerned about the amount of time her child spent on social media over the winter break, and Hossfeld decided to look into the issue.

She read research that found social media notifications cause a release of dopamine, the chemical that causes feelings of pleasure, in the brain. Other studies found that prolonged device use can negatively impact impulse control and the ability to concentrate.

Then she logged in to social media sites herself, and saw “unhealthy communication” that didn’t reconcile with

North Star Academy eighth-graders gather to talk about the challenge of giving up their smart phones for a week in January. Pictured from left to right are members of the school’s leadership council: Mia Farrell, Kathleen Reilly, Aidan Gilbreth, Cole Brownjohn, Mason Waters, Ben Dwinell, Brooke Chandler, Kennedy Milla, Alison Ngyuen, Tyanna Fox and Rachael Hamilton. Standing in back is fourth-grader Garrett Gragg, who was observing the students on the council.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY what she knew about children.

“Face to face they’re doing all these great things,” she said. “But behind the screen they’re not as sensitive.”

In January, Hossfeld presented a challenge to eighth-graders at the K-8 Parker charter school — to go without social media and video games for a week and journal their thoughts and feelings during that time.

Hossfeld estimated half of the students were successful, some reduced

their use by about half, and others didn’t last a day. The point, she said, was to make them aware of how much they depend on the devices, and to that end, they succeeded.

“I learned that I spend a lot of time on my phone and social media,” said eighth-grader Tyanna Fox, who said she went from being on her phone between two and three hours a day to about one hour.

Her volleyball teammates teased her,

North Star Academy Principal Kendra Hossfeld stands outside of the charter school’s building near Jordan Road and Lincoln Ave. Hossfeld says students are more likely to be unkind to one another when they are online than when they are face to face.

Fox said, but she didn’t waver.

“I just told them that we are all on our phones way too much,” Fox said.

“Way more than we think we are.”

Not all parents were on board with the challenge at first, according to eighth-grader Cole Brownjohn, whose father works in computer sales. Still, he said his parents came around when they noticed a change in his disposition.

“They both said I was a lot less snarky,” he said.

protect vulnerable populations. The bill House Republicans have introduced, the American Health Care Act, would eliminate coverage for millions of people covered through the ACA, increase costs for all consumers and apply caps on the Medicaid program, meaning states will need to ration care for their residents.

The AHCA would harm millions of Americans. It gives wealthy Americans, insurance companies, drug companies and other corporations tax breaks they don’t need. These tax

cuts are paid for on the backs of poor and middle class Americans by dramatically scaling back the subsidies that they use to purchase affordable health care.

Americans deserve an open and honest debate on a bill that will cause millions of people to lose health insurance coverage. House Republicans shared a draft of their bill with only 40 hours for the public or even other members of Congress to review.

Supporters of the bill want to get it through the House before they head

home for the next recess (April 8-23).

They do not want to face you at town halls or have to answer questions about their plans to replace the ACA. Call Congressman Ken Buck at 202-225-4676 and tell him to vote no on the American Health Care Act. Tell him you oppose ACA repeal without a transparent, thoughtful process that results in a plan that preserves the coverage gains and quality of care under the ACA. Michael Dubrovich Parker

‘I’m not the type of person who asks for help’ Parker native puts pride aside in campaign to buy special needs van

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Like a lot of 4-year-olds, Ava Johnson’s favorite thing to do is dance.

“She loves music, she loves dancing,” Ava’s mother, Jessica, says. “She’s a way better dancer than I am.”

Ava boogies around the living room floor just fine, but Jessica, a Parker native from the Cottonwood neighborhood, needs help getting Ava to visits with her doctors and therapists.

Ava was born with several health problems, including hydrocephalus and epilepsy, causing near-constant seizures. At 3 years old, doctors performed a hemispherectomy, removing the left half of her brain. The procedure reduced her seizures but left her mostly paralyzed on her right side and compounded her vision loss. Developmentally, she performs at the same level as 8-or 9-month-olds.

Jessica is 5 feet 3 inches tall, and Ava, at 3 feet 7, is rapidly gaining on her. It’s getting increasingly difficult for Jessica to lift Ava and her accessories into the SUV they borrow from Jessica’s mother.

As she watches Ava playing in the children’s section of the Douglas County Libraries Parker branch, Jessica reflects on the challenges they’ve faced so far.

“It’s a very special thing to have every small feat that she’s been trying so hard for to be so big and so celebrated,” she says. “It makes it that much more special. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

About two years ago Jessica began saving money to buy an adapted van that will allow her to transport Ava and her wheelchair more easily. Jessica takes care of Ava full-time and Medicaid only covers one-fifth of Ava’s medical expenses. They rent Jessica’s late grandmother’s house in south Denver to save as much as they can, but it’s slow going.

Then, in January, Jessica was in a five-car collision. She and Ava were fine, but their car was totaled, adding another setback to the goal of buying the van.

“This is an exorbitant expense for any family,” she says, but “special needs families have so many other expenses that aren’t covered” by insurance or Medicaid.

Jessica Johnson and her daughter Ava share a tender moment at the Douglas County Libraries Parker branch on March 6. Jessica, who attended Chaparral High School and grew up in the Cottonwood subdivision, is saving money for an adapted van to transport Ava and her wheelchair.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY “I’m not the type of person who asks for help,” she says. But she realized she wouldn’t be able to afford the van without it, so she reluctantly set up a GoFundMe page, “Wheels for Ava.” Overcoming pride was just one obstacle. Jessica says another fundraising issue is the prevalence of other self-funding pages on the internet.

Fundraising websites are full of people requesting money to finance everything from moving expenses to vacations, competing for attention and money, with pages like Jessica and Ava’s.

“Social media is oversaturated with people asking for money that they don’t need,” Jessica says, noting she’s already made payments on the van, reserved at Performance Mobility in Highlands Ranch. “People are desensitized because everybody has a GoFundMe page. It makes it so difficult for people who actually do need these things.”

There has been more interest from the public since a recent story about her and Ava was featured on CBS 4, Jessica says, getting her closer to her goal and reconnecting her with former classmates.

“So many of them are people I went to high school with,” she says. “There are a lot of people from Chaparral on there.”

Jessica Johnson loads her 4-yearold daughter Ava into the SUV she borrows from her mother.

Getting Ava and her wheelchair in and out of the vehicle is getting more diificult as Ava continues to grow, Jessica says.

The buzz increased her fundraising total to about $14,000, where it currently stands.

It’s a long way from $50,000, but she, and Ava, are on their way.

John Fulton is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Hockey Player of the Year.

COURTESY PHOTO

Castle View gains services of premier athlete John Fulton honored as South Metro Hockey Player of the Year

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

John Fulton’s responsibility on the Castle View hockey team was different than his role when playing club hockey.

Fulton, a junior who attends Ponderosa High School, played club hockey with the Arapahoe major AA team this year and last season was a member of the Colorado Thunderbirds 16U AAA club.

He was more of a complementary, checking, defensive forward with his club teams but became a goal scorer when he joined the Castle View team this season to play in the Highlands Conference, which was one of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s four leagues.

Fulton was the CHSAA regular season scoring champion with 23 goals and 21 assists for 44 points.

In two playoff games he added two goals and an assist to wind up with 47 points for SOUTH METRO the season.

ATHLETES He is the 2017 OF THE YEAR Colorado Community Media South Metro Hockey Player of the Year.

“For the Thunderbirds last year I wasn’t necessarily the guy,” said Fulton. “I was relied on a little bit more with Castle View and I felt like I had to play a little bit better.”

Fulton adapted to his new role and during one 13-game stretch he filled the scoresheet with 22 goals and 34 points.

“I felt like I kind of started off a little slow but I picked it up halfway and finished strong,” he said.

“It was a lot of fun. My line played really good and made it pretty

easy to score goals.”

Castle View coach Al Quintana welcomed Fulton when he decided to double up and play high school hockey along being on a club team.

“He was a team player and leader on the team,” said Quintana. “John is a 4.3 GPA student in school. He works hard every time he is on the ice. His is an inspiration to the younger players.

Fulton enjoyed playing for the Castle View co-op team and didn’t feel pressure in his new role.

“The more you feel like you need to improve, the worse you play,” said Fulton. “When you feel like you’re the guy that needs to make it happen, there is less pressure because you feel like you can make the plays.

“There were a lot more teams than there used to be in high school hockey and the atmosphere for hockey is a lot better. For the big games and the playoffs there were a lot of people there so it was fun to play.”

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Jake Hall, lacrosse, sophomore, Arapahoe: He scored five goals and had an assist in a 15-14 win over Mountain Vista on March 17.

Troy Lincavage, baseball, junior, Legend: In an 11-0 season-opening win over Dakota Ridge on March 15, Lincavage belted a triple and home run in two at-bats and

drove in four runs.

Jordan Medina, baseball, junior, Highlands Ranch: He went 2-for-3 with a double, homer and three RBI in a 9-8 win over Broomfield on March 15.

Taylor Barnes, tennis, senior, Douglas County: She ran her season record in No. 2

singles to 2-0 with a win over Smoky Hill’s Sarah Altshuler by winning the third-set tiebreaker, 8-6.

Shae Holmes, soccer, junior, ThunderRidge: She scored four times and had an assist in the Grizzlies’ 7-0 victory over Denver East on March 15.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

t turns out the Colorado high school basketball season is not over, as 20 area players have made it to The Show.

There will be four games this year in The Show, which is an all-star showcase set for OVERTIME March 25 at Metro State University in Denver.

The 1A-3A girls contest will start at 2:30 p.m. followed by the 1A-3A boys game at 4 p.m. The Top 20 girls game will tip off at 5:30 p.m. and the Top 20 boys game is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Top 20 Jim Benton games feature primarily 4A and 5A players.

Golden’s Adam Thistlewood, Jake Belknapp of Mountain Vista and Kaison Hammonds of ThunderRidge will be on the Blue Top 20 boys team.

The Top 20 boys White team includes Sam Masten of Rock Canyon and is coached by the Jaguars’ Kent Grams.

Cherry Creek’s Chris Curneen will be one of the coaches for the Blue Top 20 girls team. The roster of the Blue team includes Ashley Madden, of Pomona, Sydney Mech, of Cherry Creek, Jaela Richardson, of Cherry Creek, Jana Van Gytenbeek, of Cherry Creek, Ashley Van Sickle, of Ralston Valley, and Autumn Watts, of Highlands Ranch.

The Top 20 girls White team will feature Camilla Emsbro, of Lakewood, Kylie Jimenez, of Horizon and Tommie Olson, of Highlands Ranch.

Benjamin Hawkins, of Faith Christian, Robert Williams, of Sheridan, and Will Willis, of Lutheran, are on the 1A-3A boys White team. Haylee Shaklee, of Lutheran, Hristina Geraskova, of Faith Christian, and Faith Barela, of Sheridan, will play on the 1A-3A girls team.

Terrell Davis to speak Castle View’s Gridiron Club has lined up former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis to speak at the “Back the Cats” program scheduled for Aug. 18.

Davis, the Super Bowl XXXII Most Valuable Player, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 5, and he follows ex-Colorado State football coach Sonny Lubick, who was featured at the Castle Rock community event last summer.

CVGC President Charles Oster said, “We believe this is something not just for our program but the entire community of Castle Rock.”

Information can be obtained by contacting Farah Oster at 720-445-1615.

A look at the rankings Late this month, spring breaks for the Douglas County, Littleton, Jefferson County, Adams 12 and Cherry Creek school districts will slow sports activities between local teams.

So it might be time to look at the CHSAANow.Com polls to see which area teams are featured in the March 20 rankings.

Trent Schultz

Several stand out in singlets Four athletes take honors as Wrestlers of the Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most seasons there is one wrestler who stands out just a little above the rest.

This year is unusual in the south metro area since there were four individual state champions, three undefeated wrestlers and three that became two-time state champions.

So instead of a Colorado Community Media Wrestler of the Year, there are Wrestlers of the Year, four of them to be exact.

Castle View’s Malik Heinselman and Tate Samuelson, Mountain Vista’s Trent Schultz and his younger brother Cohl Schultz of Ponderosa were the honored wrestlers.

Heinselman, the junior who is the InterMat No. 1 ranked high school wrestler in the country, was 44-0 this season and captured his second straight state championship at the 106-pound classification. He recently committed to wrestle at Ohio State University.

He had 27 pins last season, 12 technical falls and won 162.5 points.

Samuelson was 44-0 at 170 pounds and won the state title after finishing the runner-up at

160 pounds during the 2016 state tournament. The junior recorded 29 pins and three technical falls while earning 155 team points.

Trent Schultz won his second consecutive 195-pound state championship and SOUTH METRO ended the ATHLETES season with OF THE YEAR a 40-0 record.

The senior is the first Vista wrestler to win a state championship.

He recorded 26 pins last season to wind up with 108 career pins. He had four technical falls and two major decisions among his 40 victories during the 201617 season. He scored 50 takedowns and gave up none while outscoring opponents 201-20.

Cohl Schultz was 46-1 with his only loss coming to the nation’s No. 1 ranked Chase Singletary of Blair Academy (New Jersey). The Mustang sophomore is undefeated for the past two years in Colorado and became a two-time 220-pound state champion during last month’s state tournament.

He had 35 pins this season and 90 in two years. He has compiled a 93-2 record over two seasons and could top the all-time Colorado records for career wins, which currently stands at 161, and the mark for career pins of 121.

One of Kylie Andrews’ best traits is her ability to rise to the occasion.

Andrews, a junior at Heritage High School, is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmer of the Year.

“I felt like I got better when the competition got harder,” said Andrews. “It was a going up type of process. The competition got harder and harder and stiffer and stiffer and that was helpful for me to improve.”

Andrews won two individual titles at the Class 4A state swimming championships, finishing first in the 100-yard freestyle in 50.59 and the 100 backstroke with a time of 55.67. Last season Andrews won the Class 5A state title in the 100 freestyle.

“She is always up for challenges and always working to improve,” said Heritage coach Thomas Byorick.

A week before the state meet, Andrews won two individual events and swam on two winning relay teams at the Continental League championships. She set Continental League and

school records in winning the 200 freestyle in 1:49.90 and the 100 butterfly in 55.58. And, she was part of the 100 and 400-yard freestyle relay teams.

“She had a very successful season with four individual team records and was a big part of two relay records,” pointed out Byorick. “She earned strong All America times in six events.

“While she is SOUTH METRO certainly a huge ATHLETES athletic asset for OF THE YEAR our team, she has emerged as a team leader who makes time for all of her teammates.”

Andrews swam a 50 freestyle record of 23.50 as the leadoff relay leg in the league meet and early in the season established school marks of 50.28 in the 100 freestyle and 53.88 in the 100 butterfly.

“I was just hoping to get better and keep improving my times,” said Andrews.

“I grew with my team so this was an accomplishing season.”

Every swimmer has meets when she might not be feeling good or when nothing feels right during the warmups.

“When I get in those situations, the faster I get to the wall the faster the pain will go away,” said Andrews.

Heritage junior Kylie Andrews is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmer of the Year.
