Families assess next steps in wake of devastating fire Residents ran door to door to alert neighbors of fire at The Meadows

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The morning after a fire destroyed two homes and damaged five more, SierraKay Okimoto, 12, clung to her mother, Lisa Bunch, staring at their home, one of those damaged in the incident.

At approximately 10 a.m.

April 17, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue responded to a call of a house fire on North Foxtail Drive in The Meadows. With high winds and dry conditions, the fire quickly spread to the house next door.

No injuries were reported in the incident, but two homes were a total loss and five surrounding homes sustained minor to moderate damage, according to a town news release.

Bunch lives next door to one of the destroyed houses.

She didn’t know the cost of repairs for her home, only that flames shattered

their windows, leveled their backyard fence and melted their garage, where the fire also spread before firefighters arrived and prevented it from getting farther.

The family of five with three dogs and two cats felt grateful the damage to their house stopped where it did, Okimoto and Bunch said.

What remained of the two houses next to theirs was a pile of charred rubble. Cavedin roofs, blackened support beams and ashy remnants of the structures that stood but 24 hours earlier. Heaps of burned belongings sat in the yard and in the collapsed rooms of each home.

Bunch and her neighbor three doors down, Sandy Brantley, who lives on the other side of the two destroyed homes, described their next-door neighbors as good people. In one house, a quiet and friendly couple now mourning the loss of their two dogs missing in the fire.

“They’re very sweet. She always would shovel up my sidewalk,” Brantley said.

“They’re very nice and quiet and lovely people.”

Bunch and Brantley wanted to respect their neighbors’ privacy but expressed remorse

for their loss. Brantley said neighbors would be gathering that evening to plan fundraising and donation efforts for the families affected by the fire.

Residents of the neighborhood described a hectic scene when remembering how the fire unfolded.

Bob Vodicka, who lives directly across the street, said he drove upon the scene and saw homes engulfed in flames as firetrucks sprayed water onto them.

“I was freaking out when I heard,” he said. “Because I heard it was close.”

Kari Feaster lives several houses away but walked by the site April 17.

“I’m just sick for the families,” she said, before commending firefighters for preventing more wreckage from occurring in light of the weather conditions.

Winds that day were estimated to be between 40 and 60 mph, according to various media reports.

“What they were able to contain was amazing,” she said.

Neil Pepi, who lives next door to Bunch, said on April SEE FIRE, P22

The cause of a fire that destroyed two homes in The Meadows is still under investigation. No injuries were reported but two dogs were missing after the blaze.

At least 100 firefighters worked the blaze, which burned overnight

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State Highway 67 reopened for all traffic April 18 following a fire the day before that forced pre-evacuations zones and closed portions of the roadway.

At approximately 10:23 a.m. April 17, West Douglas Fire and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office responded to reports of a fire southwest of Sedalia and Roxborough State Park, near Rampart Range Road and Highway 67.

The fire burned through the night and grew to 11 acres. Authorities determined the cause was a tree that blew into power lines. At one point, roughly 100 firefighters were on scene, according to a report from the U.S. Forest Service.

Hours after the fire started, it reached 20 percent containment — which remained the status on the Forest Service’s website throughout

the next day.

Authorities initially dubbed the incident the Rampart 67 Fire then later called it the Indian Creek Fire. A pre-evacuation notice from west of Pine Creek Road and east of Rainbow Creek Road was lifted mid-afternoon April 17.

Impacted residents could shelter large animals at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road in Castle Rock.

State Highway 67 was closed between Elephant Rock Road and Pine Creek Road then partially reopened to local traffic from mile marker 117 to 122 later in the day April 17, according to a Twitter post from the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Amid dry conditions in mid-March, Douglas County and the Town of Castle Rock instituted Stage 1 fire restrictions, which limit the use of open fires, open burning and fireworks.

Under Stage 1 restrictions, open burning of any kind and the use of fireworks are prohibited.

Violations in unincorporated Douglas County are a class 2 petty offense with a possible fine of up to $1,000 and a $10 surcharge. Violations of Castle Rock’s fire restrictions are also punishable by a $1,000 fine, 180 days in jail or both.

Castle Rock takes step toward lifting pit bull ban Council approves animal-code overhaul on first reading, with final vote expected soon

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock on April 17 gave initial approval to an ordinance that would repeal the town’s decadesold pit bull ban.

The ordinance approved in a 5-2 vote on first reading is a sweeping update of the town’s animal code covering everything from chickens to bees — but its most contentious aspect has been staff ’s recommendation to remove the breed-specific ban on pit bulls and replace it with a two-tiered system that regulates dogs based on their behavior, classifying them as dangerous or potentially dangerous.

The ordinance will come back before council at a later date for a second reading and likely final approval, possibly at the council’s May 1 meeting.

A handful of residents attended the April 17 public hearing to speak on the issue. Resident James Decker spoke in favor of the ban and about concerns of a potential loophole should council leave the ban in place.

Decker feared residents can too easily

obtain permits or licenses for service or emotional support animals online, and therefore evade the ban.

“Most dogs, you can tell by looking at them that they’re aggressive. A pit bull, they come running at you so fast you can’t even tell,” Decker said.

Meanwhile, Brittany Higgins, a resident of Littleton, said she and her husband wish they could move to Castle Rock to live near family but will not do so as long as a breed ban is in place.

The couple is expecting their first child and owns two dogs, one of them being a pit bull.

“This is where we want to raise our family,” she told council.

Councilmember Jess Loban said he’s received mixed reviews of the pit bull ban from constituents and would prefer sending the issue to voters. Should council lift the ban by ordinance, residents could petition the decision, he said.

“Separate the breed ban and put it out on a ballot,” Loban said.

Councilmember Brett Ford, however, said councilmembers were elected to make such decisions for the town and supported considering the breed ban through a vote of councilmembers.

Loban and Councilman George Teal voted against the ordinance. Staff will also research and return with a possible amendment to the animal code allowing residents to have potbellied pigs and goats.

Sedalia man headed to trial in murder case Father shot son he claims broke into his home, authorities say

A Douglas County judge has determined there is sufficient probable cause to send a Sedalia man’s murder case to trial. A trial date has not been set.

Frank Leo Huner Jr., now 59, was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly shooting his son, Nicholas Huner, 33, to death on July 1, 2017. Frank Huner called 911 just after 10 p.m. and reported he shot an intruder in his Sedalia home, later explaining the intruder was his son and he believed his son was dead.

Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputies arrived on scene to find Frank Huner standing outside his home and Nicholas Huner lying inside, dead from apparent gunshot wounds, ac-

cording to testimony during an April 18 hearing.

A detective who interviewed Frank Huner following the shooting said he told him he suspected his son of arson in a fire that destroyed one of his properties, was wanted for questioning in a shooting at a friend’s home, led authorities on a high-speed chase in Utah and had threatened to slit his parents’ throats.

The detective also testified Frank Huner said his son broke into the home through a back door and “was out of control” before he shot him.

There was a restraining order in place that was intended to keep the son from the home.

Authorities confirmed July 3, 2017, the cause of death was a gunshot wound. April 18 testimony said Nicholas Huner was shot in the back and in the head. An autopsy report showed Nicholas Huner’s blood alcohol content at .170, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and he also had consumed marijuana.

Frank Huner is next due in court in July.

School board approves contract for new superintendent Five-year term will begin on July 1 if deal is accepted

by Thomas Tucker

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The school board’s choice to become the new superintendent of the Douglas County School District is being offered an annual salary of $258,420, according to a contract unanimously approved by the board April 17.

School board President David Ray said he has every reason to believe Thomas Tucker, superintendent of Princeton City Tucker Schools in Cincinnati, will agree to the contract.

“I just want to note that truly it’s been a team effort on Dr. Tucker’s part,” Ray said at the April 17 school board meeting. “He did not come in trying to get the highest-paying salary in Colorado. He came in saying, ‘What can I do to be a team player for this district?’”

Tucker’s five-year deal would begin on July 1 and end on June 30, 2023, according to the contract, which

DETAILS OF CONTRACT The contract offered to Thomas Tucker includes the following: • Base annual salary of $258,420.

• The district will contribute $20,000 to a taxsheltered annuity plan.

• Reimbursment for district-related travel at the then-IRS rate.

• 35 days of paid time off.

• Reimbursment of up to $15,000 for relocation expenses, including house hunting, transportation to and living expenses in Douglas County, packing, insuring and transporting household furniture and goods and temporary living expenses. was posted on the district’s website during the school board meeting.

Tucker must establish residency in Douglas County by July 1. To help with the transition of duties, Tucker is requested to start working with the district five to 10 days prior to July 1, the contract states.

The salary offered to Tucker had to compare to “generous” salaries offered to past Douglas County superintendents, Ray said. Elizabeth Fagen, who left for a superintendent job in Texas in 2016, was paid an annual salary of more than $270,000. Interim Superintendent Erin Kane has been SEE CONTRACT, P30

School board gets pushback for not posting contract earlier

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School Board faced backlash from some community members for not posting the superintendent contract with the agenda ahead of the April 17 school board meeting. The full contract was posted on the district’s website during the meeting, which began at 6 p.m.

School board agendas are posted on the district’s website, www.dcsdk12. org, at least 24 hours prior to each meeting. The agenda was posted for the April 17 meeting but it did not include an attachment with the contract. m “Without the contract there is nothing for the public to review,” Douglas County resident Aaron Johnson said in an email to Colorado Community Media.

While the district was not specifically required to post the contract online ahead of the meeting, if at all possible, it should have made the contract available somewhere for the public a day in advance, said Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information

Coalition.

Board President David Ray addressed the topic during the April 17 meeting, stating that the contract was not posted earlier because the board was reviewing specifics with its legal team that day.

“The contract has to be something the board does with the legal counsel first before they entertain a motion to put it out to the public,” said Ray. There is no requirement in the Colorado Open Meetings Law that the agenda be posted online, only that the notice be posted “in a designated public place within the boundaries of the local public body no less than 20 hours prior to the holding of the meeting,” Roberts said in an email correspondence. The public place should be designated annually.

“The agenda requirements in the law are considered to be flexible, but the bottom line is that the notice should contain specific information `where possible,’ ” said Roberts. “If it’s possible to include an agenda item on the superintendent’s contract, it should be on the agenda so that the people know what to expect at the meeting and can attend if the contract is of interest to them.”

Chief deputy to continue serving as treasurer Douglas County commissioners have not made official appointment

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners on April 16 approved a resolution allowing Chief Deputy Treasurer Peter Boyd to continue serving as county treasurer, a role he assumed when Diane Holbert resigned from her post mid-term to become the District 1 county commissioner.

The Douglas County Republican Party appointed Holbert on April 9 to fill a vacancy on the board of commissioners left by David Weaver, who accepted a presidential nomination as the United States marshal for Colorado. His term and Holbert’s appointment will end in January.

Boyd as chief deputy automatically assumes the treasurer’s role under state law until the board appoints someone to fill the vacancy.

The April 16 resolution does not formally appoint Boyd as treasurer.

Instead, it allows him to continue assuming the treasurer’s responsibilities until the board makes a formal ap-

pointment, which may not come until after results from the June primary election are certified.

“I believe we have before us a sound resolution that makes sense,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “We’ll have the voters of Douglas County make the determination.”

Two Republican candidates are running for the Republican nomination for treasurer in the general election: Dave Gill and Bob Muni. Gill is the top line candidate, or the candidate receiving the most votes from delegates at the county assembly. As of the county assemblies in March, no Democratic candidate had declared to run for treasurer.

The resolution concerning Boyd states: “Due to the timing of the vacancy and the timing of the regular election cycle, the board does not wish to interfere with or give the appearance of interfering with the election or process for the 2018 election for the Office of the Treasurer nor does the board want to unnecessarily disrupt the regular business of the office of the treasurer by making any appointment that could potentially be short term.”

The resolution also states the board is willing to revisit appointing a treaSEE TREASURER, P16

Social media is omnipresent in the lives of today’s teens, which experts link to a rise in stress, depression and low self-esteem

henever she has free time, Jayden Parks pulls out her phone and checks Instagram or Snapchat. She scrolls through photos, comparing herself to other teens portraying what seem to be perfect lives.

“It puts so much pressure on your self-esteem,” says 16-year-old Parks, a junior at Highlands Ranch High School with piercing blue eyes whose life is never-endingly busy with school assignments, a part-time job and caring for her younger siblings.

“Social media,” she says, “is where you prove yourself these days.”

Rachel Peete, 16, has become more self-conscious about her looks since she started using Instagram. She’s careful about the photos she posts for her 940 followers: She never posts photos of just herself. And she edits the color and style of each photo so it blends with the overall look of her page.

“In the long run,” the junior at Castle View High School says about how she chooses what to share, “I think this has protected me from posting something risky or even something that could hurt my own feelings.”

About this series Social media often causes stress and anxiety for Jayden Parks, a junior at Highlands Ranch High School.

SOCIAL MEDIA FROM PAGE 7

They are growing up in a time where social status is defined by the amount of friends, followers and likes a person has. Where events captured in photos and videos posted by peers cause an invasive fear of missing out. Where the pressure to constantly check devices and be in contact with friends is overwhelming. Where a phone replaces body language, facial expressions and voice tones.

That lack of face-to-face communication, studies and experts say, has caused a decline in young people’s

emotional intelligence — the ability to express and handle emotions, resolve conflict and manage interpersonal relationships.

And that — combined with access to infinite online content and unceasing flow of information — has created a pressure-cooker for young people that has been linked to a rise in mental health problems, including heightened stress, dependency, depression and anxiety, according to studies, mental health professionals and those who work closely with adolescents and young people.

Sexting poses legal, psychological risks for teens Young people are increasingly engaging in riskier online behaviors

TIPS TO STAY SAFE What to do if you or someone you know is the victim of sexting The safest way to avoid a picture getting into the wrong hands is to never take it or share it.

Never take and send an image of yourself under pressure, even from someone you care about.

If a sext is sent to you, do not forward it to anyone and delete the photo.

If you’re being victimized, talk with a parent or trusted adult, or make a report at cybertipline.com or 800-843-5678.

If the picture is from a friend or someone you know, talk to that friend so he or she is aware of possible harmful consequences.

When Douglas County Deputy Jay Martin first started teaching about relationships, digital safety and substance abuse prevention, maybe one high school student in each of his classes would raise his or her hand when asked who had participated in sexting.

“Now, over half my class is raising their hands,” said Martin, an instructor in the Y.E.S.S., Youth, Education and Safety in Schools, program, created in 2009 by the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office to educate students and parents on substance abuse, teen relationships and internet safety.

With access to infinite online content, research shows young people are engaging in riskier behaviors such as sexting, the act of sending or receiving sexually explicit messages or nude photos through text messages and on other digital devices.

In a report published in April by JAMA Pediatrics, a peer-reviewed medical journal, authors studied 110,380 participants under 18 years old. The average age was 15. Results revealed 14.8 percent had sent a sext, 27.4 percent had received a sext, 12 percent had forwarded a sext without consent and 8.4 percent had a sext forwarded without consent.

Mental health experts say that exposing young people to sexually explicit images can skew their perception of healthy intimacy and relationships. Educators in Douglas County have seen that some teens are becoming desensitized to sexting.

They think “sending and receiving nude photos is no big deal,” Martin said.

Many young people are unaware of the repercussions of sexting. In Colorado, sexting among juveniles can be a Class 1 misdemeanor charge that can carry a sentence of six months in jail, a $500 fine or both; a

• Instagram is a photo-sharing app that includes a private messaging feature.

• Ask.fm lets kids ask and answer questions, sometimes anonymously.

• Kik Messenger lets kids text with friends and strangers for free. Identities can be anonymous.

Class 2 misdemeanor, which carries a minimum sentence of three months in jail, a $250 fine or both; a civil infraction, which requires participation in an educational program; or a petty offense, which differs depending on the charge but could include jail time or a fine. In some extreme cases, a juvenile may have to register as a sex offender.

“Legally, that is considered child pornography,” said Apryl Alexander, clinical assistant professor at the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology, of cases that involve aggravating factors. “Kids are being arrested and going on a sex-offender registry from taking a picture and sending it.”

Teen sexting was a controversial topic during last year’s state legislative session, when lawmakers introduced a bill that would lessen the penalties of sexting, which used to be considered sexual exploitation of a child, a felony that carries a jail sentence, fine or both, and requires registration as a sex offender. The new law gives prosecutors the discretion to decide where a case fits.

The law followed controversial cases of sexting in Colorado that left prosecutors with just two options: a felony charge or no charge. In 2015, police found hundreds of nude photos shared between students at a high school in Cañon City, southwest of Colorado Springs. The students

Cyberbullying can take lasting toll on teens Anonymous nature makes form of bullying tough for parents to detect, stop

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Camryn Cowdin was checking her Facebook page when she saw hateful posts from a person she considered a friend. Her name was never used, but she knew the words were about her.

“He would directly reference a comment or situation that happened between him and I,” Cowdin, 16, said.

He threatened to end their friendship. He’d say, `You’re dead to us.’ ” The comments left her feeling depressed, Cowdin said. She cried every night. She didn’t want to go to school.

“He pretty much tried to ruin me,” said Cowdin, a student at Highlands Ranch High School who loves making costumes for Comic Con, journaling and music — a set of headphones often hang around her neck. “I know a lot of beautiful people who have been ruined by social media.”

Cowdin’s experience of being bullied over a social media platform is part of an increasing national trend in cyberbullying.

In a study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center, the number of students nationally who reported experiencing cyberbullying nearly doubled from 18.8 percent in 2007 to 33.8 percent in 2016. The report surveyed more than 20,000 middle and high school students across the country from 2002 to 2016.

A 2015 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 15.5 percent of high school students at public and private schools across the U.S. were cyberbullied. In middle schools, 24 percent of students experienced cyberbullying.

Defined as using technology to harass another person, cyberbullying takes many forms: sending a mean text message, posting hurtful comments on social media, spreading inappropriate or embarrassing photos of someone over social media, spreading rumors online.

Whereas bullying occurs in person, cyberbullying allows for anonymity and secrecy.

On apps like Snapchat, messages and photos disappear after a certain amount of time. The Whisper app is used to anonymously post confessions and secrets. On Ask.fm, users anonymously ask and answer questions. Other social media platforms popular among young people include Instagram, a photo-sharing app, and Kik, an app used to instant message friends or strangers.

“Cyberbullying takes it that next step where the chances of the teacher or parent being aware are very low,” said Emily Laux, a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “That’s a concern because we aren’t able to help kids manage it.

WHAT PARENTS SHOULD KNOW Some apps are used to hide information on a phone or tablet. Hide it Pro lets users store photos and apps in a secret folder that is only accessible with a code. Other apps, such as Lock Photos & Safe Photos and Secret Photo Album Vault, are used specifically to hide photos and screenshots.

For more information on apps and social media trends, visit www.commonsensemedia.org.

It’s so much harder for parents and adults to intervene.”

Online bullying can cause lasting damage to teenagers, research shows, resulting in mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, sleep problems, difficulty adjusting to school or, in some extreme instances, suicide.

For some educators, the impact is overwhelming.

“At different times of the day, we would have students come down extremely upset and distraught, broken friendships, things that were said about them, rumors being passed around, name-calling,” said Ann Guenther, assistant principal of Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch, which at the beginning of the school year implemented a cellphone ban to counter distractions in the classroom. “When you have students focusing on those pieces, they can’t focus on school.”

Delanie Vieira, a freshman at Rock Canyon High School, was in eighth grade when two girls and a boy started messaging her on the photosharing site Instagram. They told her to kill herself, she said.

But Vieira, who has a solid friend group and is self-confident about who she is, didn’t let the words get her down. Instead, she went to the principal.

“I was hurt that they would target me when I felt like I did nothing wrong,” said Vieira. “It shocked me.”

Vieira used to worry about what other people thought about her on social media, she said, but now she has a different outlook.

“At this point, I don’t really care, I’m just sharing photos of my friends. I’m just growing up,” Vieira said. “It’s for my own entertainment and enjoyment. It only matters if my close friends care.”

But for some young people, cyberbullying has had devastating consequences.

In 2015, Colorado passed Kiana’s Law, named after Kiana Arellano, a 14-year-old from Highlands Ranch who in 2013, after receiving hateful messages from classmates online, attempted suicide. She survived, but the lack of oxygen left her a paraplegic and unable to speak. Her mother testified before the Legislature to increase the penalties for cyberbullying. As a result, the act is considered a misdemeanor crime that warrants up to one year in county jail, a fine of up to $1,000 or both.

After negative experiences on social media, Camryn Cowdin, 16, now blocks people who treat her poorly. “Every time I was getting on Facebook, I would feel angry or just really upset in general,” she said.

For the past two years, Sgt. Lori Bronner of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has overseen the school resource officer program at Douglas County schools. A resource officer is a deputy who is responsible for student safety on a school campus and also is trained in mental health first aid.

She blames the impersonal aspect of social media platforms for allowing students to say things they otherwise wouldn’t.

“Kids say really mean and hateful things over social media,” she said.

“Social media has made it easier because you are not face-to-face.

You’re not there to take the brunt if someone wants to say something back to you.”

Students need to know they can report harmful content they see on social media to a teacher or adult, said members of Douglas County School District’s Prevention and School Culture team. Its seven members teach seminars on positive life skills, such as healthy boundaries and substance abuse prevention to students throughout the district.

“Kids feel like they always have to comment or like something,” said Cindy Redfern, a former elementary school teacher on the team. “They

can say ‘no.’ If your friend is doing something that you don’t think is OK, you report it.”

Families should have open communication about what is happening on social media and, if needed, parents should intervene, said Anne Metz, also a team member who formerly worked as a registered nurse.

“It’s important for parents to understand that they have the right to be in charge of the cellphone that they are giving to their kid,” she said. “It’s important to talk to their kids about what is expected.”

After her negative experiences on Facebook, Cowdin blocked the person who was posting hurtful comments about her and eventually deactivated her account. Now she’s cautious about how much time she spends on social media. She uses Instagram and Facebook, which she has since reactivated, primarily to share her costume creations.

The talkative and easygoing teen says social media causes a lot of unnecessary drama. She’s focusing on school and photography, which is also a passion.

“I’m just focusing on myself, my friends, the good things,” Cowdin said, “and blocking people who treat me badly.”

health experts and educators say.

“They have social anxiety or insecurity because they are so used to being dependent on these devices,” Alexander says.

“The device is control- Bronner ling the kids, not the kids controlling the device,” she says.

tors in the students’ lives, and I feel like that has shifted with technology use,” says Ann Guenther, assistant principal of Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch. “The bottom line is our students are using social media as a way to get peer approval.”

‘Device is controlling the kids’ Although social media can allow teens and adolescents to connect and communicate over shared interests, it also can have a negative impact on the way they view themselves and their peers, according to a 2015 report by Pew Research Center.

The nationwide online survey of teens ages 13 to 17 found 53 percent saw people posting to social media about events to which they weren’t invited, and 21 percent of teens reported feeling worse about their own life because of what they saw from other friends on social media. Sixty-eight percent of teens experienced drama among their friends on social media.

And 26 percent had a conflict with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.

Nearly three-quarters of teens ages 13-17 had a smartphone or had access to one, another 2015 Pew study reported. Of those, 92 percent went online daily, 56 percent went online multiple times a day and 24 percent went online almost constantly.

And research shows children as young as 10 have cellphones and 50 percent of 12-year-olds have social media accounts.

“Kids are growing up talking to devices, not people,” says Douglas County Deputy Jay Martin, who teaches classes for Y.E.S.S., the Youth, Education and Safety in Schools program, a partnership between the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. “The value of who they are as a person is affected by other people on social media.”

Parks agrees: When she is on Facebook, she feels stressed by the bombardment of news articles and celebrity gossip on her feed. When she’s on Instagram, she’s envious of other teens who have hundreds of followers.

“It’s the people who use social media who are usually going to get their feelings hurt,” Parks says.

On social media, everything is curated, points out Apryl Alexander, clinical assistant professor at University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology. Individuals are formulating their best image — posting flawless photos of themselves, their friends, the places they visit — which results in comparison, judgment Alexander and feelings of exclusion among peers in their social media circle.

Lack of conflict-resolution skills When Wendy Strait first started teaching 33 years ago, cellphones were nonexistent.

But today, phones and social media play a role in most of the social or emotional issues for which students come to her, says Strait, a counselor at Mountain Vista High School for the past 17 years.

“Almost immediately after cellphones were introduced into a kid’s life, most counselors and teachers in general would say kids’ ability to specifically resolve conflict diminished substantially,” she says.

“How you treat people one-on-one isn’t how you treat people online a lot of times.”

Educators and parents in Douglas County say they are seeing a decline in young people’s emotional intelligence, defined by the website Pyschology Today as the “ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions and the emotions of others.”

Having empathy, resolving conflict, recognizing emotions in oneself and others, and engaging in interpersonal relationships, are large indicators of emotional intelligence.

How to help kids manage the digital world The answer isn’t simple, but educators and mental health professionals agree that steps can be taken to combat the adverse affects of social media use.

Setting screen time limits, along with encouraging open communication about how kids are using social media apps, is key.

Promoting offline activities, such as sports and extracurricular clubs, and allowing kids to be bored with no screens in front of them, are also effective measures.

“The best thing we can do is have our kids know that they can talk to us about whatever it is that is coming up for them,” said Emily Laux, a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Questions to ask, she said, include: “Why is my kid using this? What are they using it for? What benefits are they getting from it and how is

it harmful? Maintain the positives and help them navigate the negatives coming up.”

Mental health experts say limiting screen time promotes healthy emotional and physical development in young people. Recommendations on screen time vary.

Laux recommends a half-hour to an hour a day for early adolescence. As kids grow older, it’s likely they will be able to handle more screen time, she said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Preven- Laux tion says parents should limit kids’ screen time to one to two hours per day.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends establishing a “screen-free” zone at home and having no televisions, computers or

video games in children’s bedrooms.

Educators and mental health experts encourage parents to take advantage of informative websites, such as www.connectsafely.org, a website that details the latest apps and social media trends, and www. commonsensemedia.com, which provides examples of smartphone contracts parents can give to teens.

Wendy Strait, a counselor at Mountain Vista High School, has watched how social media has altered the way high school students interact.

She’s considering waiting until her 10-year-old son is 18 years old before giving him a cellphone.

“He wants a phone, of course. He’s not going to get one — I don’t know if he will ever get one,” Strait said.

“I would love to start a campaign that says ‘Bring the flip phone back,’ where all you can do is text.”

SOCIAL MEDIA ‘Survive today and have an amazing future’

FROM PAGE 10

When young people communicate over technology, says Emily Laux, a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, they miss the facial expressions, body language and voice tones that are indicative of emotion — tears, a frown, a smile, wrinkles on the forehead, a yawn, a sarcastic tone, a hug, a pat on the back.

“Just communicating over written words,” she says, “we lose so much of the rest of communication.”

Adds Strait: “The art of conversation has died in some ways.” Even something as personal and emotional as breaking up with a significant other is now often done over a text message.

Bronner, who has worked with Douglas County schools for the past two years, has noticed the struggle that many young people have to express emotions and resolve conflict.

Social media’s instant gratification and constant communication stunts the development of real-life coping skills necessary to learn and move forward from negative experiences, Bronner says.

“Their world falls apart because they don’t have the skills developed over time of having conversations face-to-face, reading each other, understanding,” she says. “At the drop of a hat, a kid’s world can fall apart because of something that might seem very small to us.”

Strait also has noticed that many young people don’t know how to be bored, how to disconnect and embrace silence and stillness.

“I just love them,” Strait says of her students. And “I wish we could make their world quieter.”

How schools are helping To address mental health needs, Douglas County School District has implemented several programs, each with a social media component.

The district partners with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office for the Y.E.S.S. program, created in 2009 to teach positive life skills to students and parents.

Y.E.S.S. instructors periodically teach classes to elementary, middle and high school students on topics such as relationships, digital safety and substance abuse prevention.

Instructors also host parent seminars and workshops. Classes include videos, questions and open discussion on some of the harder topics teens are facing, such as intimacy and exposure to drugs and alcohol.

The goal isn’t to scare students, says Martin, the deputy who teaches Y.E.S.S. classes on digital safety in Douglas County schools, but to “present the information to them.”

Unlike the millennial generation — which describes those born in the 1980s and 1990s — many of today’s adolescents and teens appear to have an awareness of the adverse affects of social media use, Martin says.

“This generation sees that there is a problem and corrections need to be made,” he says.

School program gives students support, skills to cope

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As students trickle into Bas Wolf ’s classroom at Highlands Ranch High School, he greets each one by name, asks how they are.

Sometimes, a hug accompanies the greeting.

“Star Wars” posters, American flags and inspirational quotes cover the walls — “You are not finished when you lose. You are finished when you quit.” In one corner sits a coffee machine. The sleeves of the cups are labeled with a list of emotions. Sometimes, it’s easier to circle how you’re feeling that day, rather than saying it out loud.

“I love helping kids through the tears and anxiety of today and moving them towards the skills they’ll need to be awesome in their futures,” says Wolf, 43, who has taught at Highlands Ranch High School for 16 of his 20 years as an educator. “I want my classroom to feel like a place where students can breathe. Ultimately, I want it to feel like a home they didn’t know they were missing.”

Wolf teaches the school’s Alternative Cooperative Education, or ACE, program, which helps prepare students who are at risk of dropping out or struggling to find their niche, for career paths and postsecondary education. As part of the class, students reflect on personal strengths and needs and learn skills for employment, such as budgeting and creating a resume. The goal is to help them transition from high school to being able to successfully live independently.

The class has a significant focus on mental health. Many of the students have challenging home lives, work part-time jobs and simply want someone to talk to, says Wolf.

Wolf describes the stress in many of the kids he teaches as “pervasive,” their anxiety as “intense.”

A large part of that he blames on the relentlessness of social media, which he compares to a stream swirling around students.

“They don’t know how to navigate a day without looking at their screens and social media,” Wolf says of students. “Every kid’s life is displayed in a very raw way. Everything has to be posted. There is nothing that isn’t under scrutiny.”

Jayden Parks, a student in Wolf ’s class, agrees.

Her home life is challenging for a variety of reasons, she says.

That, coupled with anxiety and low self-esteem caused by social media, she says, have been taxing on her mental health. Parks uses Instagram and Snapchat throughout the day to look at photos, talk to friends

Every day there are kids coming in and I tell them they just need to survive today,” he said. and keep up with the latest news and celebrity gossip. She finds that she often compares herself to other teens on the sites who have hundreds of followers.

ACE, she says, has helped give her the support she needs to find balance in her life.

She’s learned how to better express her emotions and she has found a passion for helping others.

She and her classmate, Tennissen Rockett, are trying to start a coffee cart that would travel around the school, so all students could use the sleeves of coffee cups to express themselves.

And then there’s Wolf.

He “gives the kids tough love,” Parks says. “They can go to him for anything, he understands.”

Wolf, who calls himself a profes-

sional hugger, is fierce about helping teens succeed.

He begins his classes with a check-in: Students share about their week before rating how they feel on a scale from one to 10. One student is dealing with a chronic illness. Another student’s car broke down over the weekend. One is living with a friend’s family. Another’s parents have been arguing.

Wolf makes eye contact with each student. Sometimes, he gives advice. But mostly, he listens with compassion.

At the moment, Highlands Ranch High School is the only school in the Douglas County School District with an ACE program.

Wolf hopes to see that change.

There is more to school than learning curriculum, he says.

School also is about forming relationships with peers, relationships between students and teachers. It’s about guiding young people and helping them feel heard. And social media’s pressures and negative effects complicate that mission.

Right now, Wolf says, many young people are finding a false sense of value in social media.

Life at school “looks the same on the surface, but it is so vastly different for these kids,” he says of the stress and anxiety he sees in the hallways. “It’s a step in the right direction to say we need to prioritize the pain that our kids are going through.”

He has two goals for his students: “Survive today and have an amazing future. Every day, there are kids coming in and I tell them they just need to survive today.”

Schools test out cellphone, technology bans

Results are positive for all parties

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Last year, after seeing students exchanging hurtful messages online, Kendra Hossfeld, principal of North Star Academy in Parker, challenged her eighth-graders to a “detox week” free of device screens.

A rise in classroom distractions and decline in peer-to-peer interactions led Celine Wicks, principal of Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch, to implement a cellphone ban at the beginning of this school year.

Another school in that feeder system, Timber Trails Elementary, also recently adjusted its policy around technology use.

In addition to a cellphone ban, the school now prohibits the use of smart watches, fitness trackers, tablets, electronic music devices and personal computers during the school day.

The Douglas County schools are trying to combat adversities caused by kids’ constant exposure to social media on smartphones, tablets and computers. Teachers and administrators say social media has changed the way kids interact on school grounds. There is more bullying and less classroom engagement, emotional attachment to others and account-

ability for actions.

“They can put those words out there and never be accountable to them,” said Ann Guenther, assistant principal and dean of Rocky Heights Middle School. “How they view themselves, how they developmentally form their sense of self, is coming from the wrong channels.”

When Hossfeld proposed the “detox week,” some students cried, she said. They worried their friendships would be jeopardized from having no means of communication at home.

But for many students, the week was a wake-up call.

One student counted how many times she picked up her device while doing homework, over a span of a few hours. The number was 50.

Another student had 100 streaks on Snapchat, which is when someone sends direct messages back and forth with a friend for consecutive days.

The student said it was becoming a part-time job, said Hossfeld.

“I had a student say she was crying out of joy because she could finally not have to worry about what everyone was saying on social media,” Hossfeld said about the detox week.

“Now students were second-guessing their use. Do they need to be doing that or should they be doing something outside, shooting hoops, playing with their dog? They realized the different activities that they find more enjoyment in.”

Some parents who were concerned about not being able to reach their children by phone also had a different outlook.

“After the challenge, they were 100 percent on board when they realized their child’s mood was so much better,” Hossfeld said.

Rocky Heights had some pushback from students when it first implemented its cellphone ban. Today, kids are spending more time interacting face-to-face and they have more confidence, Guenther said.

A visit to the lunchroom shows the difference.

“Last year, we’d see students eating and looking at their phones,” said Guenther. “Now, I’m seeing great conversation. I’m seeing laughter.

I’m seeing eye contact.”

Schools in the district can implement their own technology policies, according to Paula Hans, the district’s public information officer.

Rocky Heights and Timber Trails still allow students to have their cellphones to call parents after school or from the bus. But the devices must be left in backpacks and turned off during the school day. Both schools also have a one-to-one laptop program, meaning every student has access to a laptop or tablet.

The decision to ban cellphones wasn’t simple, Guenther said. Changing a school’s technology policy requires inclusion of the parent community, students and staff.

“This truly is about educating everybody in your building and your student body population about understanding cellphone uses,” Guenther said. Cellphones are “fun and addicting, but there are some pretty high prices to pay.”

SOCIAL MEDIA The positives: keeping in touch, finding support FROM PAGE 11

Three years ago, the district established a full-time Prevention and School Culture team with seven members who come from varied backgrounds — law enforcement, education and healthcare. They lead seminars on such topics as resiliency and kindness for elementary school students, and healthy boundaries, healthy relationships and substance abuse prevention for middle and high school students. One of its main programs is Sources of Strength, which is aimed at preventing suicide.

The only department of its kind among schools in Colorado, team members say, the program gives students the tools to succeed before a crisis happens.

“I want school to be a place where kids feel connected, valued . . . a safe haven for them if home isn’t that place,” says Cindy Redfern, a former elementary school teacher on the team. “We know that if kids feel more connected and valued, the more likely they are to be able to learn.”

With an enrollment that surpasses 2,000 kids, it’s unlikely Brett Siebert will run into friends between classes as he rushes through the busy hallways at Castle View High School in Castle Rock.

To stay connected, Siebert messages them on Snapchat, a popular app where photos, messages and videos disappear after a certain amount of time. To keep up with peers who have moved away, he uses the photo-sharing app Instagram.

“I go to a big school and it’s kind of hard to bump into people,” said Siebert, a well-spoken junior who exudes confidence. “It’s very positive sometimes because it allows you to stay in touch with people that you wouldn’t stay in touch with.”

Although it shouldn’t replace faceto-face interactions, social media can be a positive tool for keeping in touch with others and finding relatable social circles, mental health experts and organizations say.

connected to information about their friends’ lives, 70 percent felt better connected to their friends’ feelings through social media, and 68 percent had people on social media platforms support them through tough or challenging times.

Emily Laux, a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, promotes a balanced view of social media.

She recognizes the faults, such

as a greater presence of cyberbullying and sexting, but she also sees benefits. Social media allows for connection and a sense of belonging for young people who struggle to fit in, she said.

“Social media at its core is a resource to connect people,” said Laux.

“It’s been an asset for some kids that really struggle in social situations.”

And the interactive component of social media provides a sense of connectedness that young people typically don’t get from traditional media, like television or Netflix, Laux pointed out.

“Kids are learning some social skill, “ she said, “which has been proven to be slightly better for kids than traditional media use, where they are passive consumers of information, not engaging with the material.”

Siebert can recall only one negative experience he has had since he joined social media platforms three or four years ago. In that instance, he called out an individual who posted an insensitive remark. Siebert ended up blocking that person.

“It can do good if people are smart about it,” Siebert said about social media use. “I use it to keep in touch with my friends.”

“Our brains are developing pretty rapidly in adolescence, so what an eighthgrader can handle and what a 10th- or 12th-grader can handle are significantly different,” says Laux, who works with young people ages 5 to 17.

“Research says the best thing to do is limit time… Really being on phones all day every day is what has been most directly linked with some of the negative outcomes.”

HOW TEENS AGES 13 TO 17 USED SOCIAL MEDIA IN 2015

ABOUT THE REPORTER

A University of Michigan report published in January in the journal Emotion looked at the effect of the increasing use of electronic devices on young people’s mental health wellness. It found lower psychological wellbeing among teens who spent more time with electronic devices and less with social interaction and other non-screen engaging activities such as sports. The research was based on annual surveys of eighth-, 10thand-12th graders between the early 1990s and 2012, when smartphone ownership in the U.S. reached 50 percent.

Nearly three-quarters of teens had a smartphone or had access to one.

94 percent of teens went online with a mobile device daily.

24 percent went online almost constantly.

71 percent of teens used more than one social media site.

A typical teen sent and received 30 texts per day.

Some of his male peers are too up front and forward in their texts to girls, he says. And some peers have hundreds of friends on apps like Snapchat but only know a handful of those friends in real life.

Siebert primarily uses Instagram to keep up with friends who have moved away or peers that he doesn’t talk to often. He also spends a lot of time away from the online world volunteering at school events or studying.

“It can do good if people are smart about it,” he says about social media. “It can be bad if people use it as their only tools of meeting new people.”

Message about social media’s downside demands response

T

here’s no doubt that social media has its positives: It reunites us with old friends.

Keeps us in touch with family who live in distant places. Connects us with organizations and people who share interests, likes, pastimes.

Opens windows into places we’d otherwise not see.

But there’s also no doubt its overwhelming presence has distorted how we — as a society — interact with and treat others, many times with negative consequences to our mental health.

Perhaps most disturbing is the effect social media is having on our youth, creating a proving ground of sorts that augments judgment and criticism, diminishes self-esteem and confidence, and increases anxiety and stress during a time when our

OUR VIEW children are starting to figure out who they are and want to be.

“I know a lot of beautiful people who have been ruined by social media,” says one Douglas County student, herself the victim of one of its most negative ramifications — cyberbullying.

This week, the third installment of Colorado Community Media’s ongoing series, Time to Talk, about the state of mental health in Douglas County, provides an in-depth look at how social media is affecting the mental wellbeing of the county’s youth.

Students, teachers, counselors and law enforcement officers talk candidly about experiences and observations,

which is supported by studies and data that show how technology has detrimentally taken over our lives.

The increasing lack of face-to-face interaction and personal connection has led to a decrease in the ability of young people to resolve conflict, handle emotions and develop the confidence to withstand and problemsolve adverse challenges.

“The device is controlling the kids, not the kids controlling the device,” says Sgt. Lori Bronner of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, who oversees the school resource officers in the high schools. “Their whole world is in the latest app and what other kids are doing (online). If there is a break in that communication, they don’t know how to function.”

There are ways to manage the

When the massacre at Sandy Hook occurred, my oldest child was a kindergartener. The profound fear that your child’s school will be the victim of America’s next mass shooting is something that no parent should have to experience — but many parents, myself included, feel that fear every day.

digital world, of course, and ways to balance its use so that it complements — rather than harms — our lives.

But it takes all parts of our community acknowledging the importance of bringing about a culture shift in our approach to social media, and then committing to the implementation of programs and solutions that help our children healthily navigate the world ahead of them.

The Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office recognize that, and their decisions to tackle this crisis head-on are worthy of praise.

As Bas Wolf, a teacher at Highlands Ranch High School, says: “It’s a step in the right direction to say we need to prioritize the pain that our kids are going through.”

Jazz Age classic continues to be assigned of the times

. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” was first published 93 years ago today (as this is being written).

Fitzgerald was only 29.

He would live QUIET another 15 years after a short career DESPERATION in both writing and drinking. He didn’t live long enough to know that just about every high school and college kid in North America would be impelled to read “Gatsby.”

Craig Marshall I was. It was on the list in my Amer- Smith ican literature class at UCLA. We preceded “Gatsby” with “Great Expectations,” and followed it with “1984.”

One takes place in the 19th century, one in the 20th century, and one where the clock strikes 13.

That’s quite a trinity.

Of the three, the closest I have come to any of it in real life has been “1984,” under the surveillance of Big Brother.

According to CrimeFeed, the average American can be caught

on camera as many as seventy-five times a day.

My favorite of the three is “Great Expectations.”

Dickens wrote brilliantly. I honor him the way I honor Leonardo da Vinci. They were both incomparable when it comes to delineation.

Neither, of course, was saturated with the fat of heightened technologies like all of us are today. Da Vinci didn’t even have a microwave, although I am almost certain he could have envisioned one.

Da Vinci is credited with a number of inventions — including the helicopter and parachute — to go along with being the best draftsman ever. His drawings - in my estimation — exceed the merits of his paintings, which weren’t bad either.

If you draw, or plan to, it’s essential to study his drawings.

When I read “Gatsby,” I felt out of it. I still feel that way every time I look at the society page. Big money, big parties, debutantes, and tuxedos.

Maybe in my next life.

(For past indiscretions, however, I might be granted a return as no more than a raccoon.)

The most important step to success is step one

ave you ever had this incredible urge and surge to take on a big project or massive idea?

You probably know what I mean, the kind of project that when we first think about WINNING it we get so excited that we just can’t WORDS wait to get started, and in our hearts and minds, we want to tackle the whole thing immediately. I mean we really want to get after, it right?

Cleaning out the garage, the attic, or the basement seems Michael Norton like a really good idea until we open the garage door, crawl up into the attic, or walk down into the basement and gaze upon the enormity of what could become the world’s greatest cleaning project ever.

That urge and surge in our hearts to really get after it suddenly becomes the run and hide white flag of surren-

der or retreat.

Writing a book, maybe a topic or subject that we have been dreaming about doing for a long time and a message that we want to share with the world because we have such great passion for it.

Then we look at our notes and outline, we realize how much time and commitment this is going to take, and before we know it, once again we have talked ourselves out of pursuing our goal of writing a book and have walked back onto the ledge of giving up because it just seemed too big and too massive to undertake.

So as the wrestling match continues between our urge to super-achieve and the enormity of the task in front of us, it really leaves us with only one a decision to make: Do we take the first step or not?

And Zig Ziglar says it this way, “People who never take step one can never possibly take step two.”

So, no matter how big the project or goal is, before we try and boil the ocean and believe that we can com-

not know until just days before the April 17 meeting that finalist Daniel Clemens was named in a federal lawsuit accusing him of not vetting a teacher who sexually assaulted a student?

Why is the only common thread among the three superintendent finalists that each helped pass a big bond and mill levy tax in their school districts, and coincidentally that’s exactly the school board’s plan for the November election? Why should DougCo taxpayers give more money to a BOE that picks a superintendent to lead our schools who has already failed miserably? Why should we trust a board that puts our kids’ learning and educational needs last to distribute any new taxpayer funds equally and equitably to public charter schools and neighborhood schools alike?

David Ray mean by telling the local paper that the new superintendent will have “’unique’ skill sets, talents and gifts that will help the district move forward,” and then hire an Ohio administrator with an abysmal report card of mostly F’s (in “Progress”, “Prepared for Success” and “Gap Closing”) and D’s (in Achievement) from his last job? (See http://reportcard. education.ohio.gov/Pages/DistrictReport.aspx?DistrictIRN=044677.)

Why would the BOE hire a “leader” for our large 68,000-student district who had already so dismally failed to improve education in his last district of only 5,600?

school and college reading lists.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” was on one of them, fortunately.

“Silas Marner” and “Ethan Frome” were on one of them, unfortunately.

So was “The Scarlet Letter.”

I was hit with “Moby Dick” and “War and Peace” in college.

Nevermore.

What gets assigned these days?

Charles Bukowski? Probably not.

“Moby Dick,” I presume, is still essential; but chapter after chapter about whaling?

Thanks a lot, Melville.

Someone somewhere is still assigning “Gatsby.” I have always wondered what it would be like to be required reading.

Try to imagine a writer sitting down, as Fitzgerald did, and write day after day, inventing characters

that were vivid and memorable and enduring.

“Gatsby” is 47,094 words long.

“Moby Dick”? It’s 206,052.

When it was first published, “Gatsby” sold very poorly, and Fitzgerald died thinking it was a failure, but it was given a big boost during World War II. That’s the subject of a segment of “Mysteries at the Museum.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird” was published in 1960. It made every curriculum reading list within a couple of years, and author Harper Lee (19262016) lived with its success for another 56 years.

What a triumph it would be to provide every library (in the world?) with such a gift.

West Egg and I couldn’t be more unalike. Nevertheless, happy birthday, Jay Gatsby.

plete the project or task in some kind of abbreviated fashion or quick fix, we need to stop and remember that all we have to do is take the first step.

Cleaning out the garage, move the first bicycle; cleaning out the attic, move the first box; writing a book, write the first sentence or paragraph; fixing a broken relationship, say the first words; starting a diet, adhere to the first meal plan. Success really does begin with step one.

If we were to take a really good hard look at every single project, large and small in our lives, and focused on the very first step that would lead us to success, we would realize that most times it is also the very smallest step in our success journey. Starting with something small and easy and letting the momentum build is a terrific strategy.

Zig Ziglar also said this, “We really can make radical changes in minute steps. Earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods get all the attention, but termites do more damage each year.”

Radical changes in minute steps, taking one bit at a time is where it’s at.

It’s when we can distill the massiveness down to the manageable, in that moment that we can begin to clearly see the path ahead and know what we need to do in order to get to where it is that we really want to go.

So how about you? Do you have a good plan for taking on tasks, projects, and your goals?

Or does the size and magnitude of what needs to get done submarine your spirit and your desire to take it on? Either way I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can learn to take step one, then step two, step three, and all the rest of the steps, it really will be a better than good week.

E-470 board votes to eliminate vehicle registration fee STAFF REPORT

Colorado motorists who live in counties in which E-470 vehicle registration fees have been imposed no longer will be assessed those fees.

The E-470 Board of Directors unanimously voted April 12 to remove the fees, and E-470 staff will work with counties to determine the next steps, according to a news release from the E-470 Public Highway Authority.

“Arapahoe County residents have financially supported this important corridor for the last 30 years,” Commissioner Bill Holen, who also serves as a member of the E-470 board, said in the release. “It’s my responsibility to make sure we follow through on our promise to repeal the $10 fee once the bonds are officially paid off and I’m happy to support this decision.”

The fees were originally approved in 1988 by the voters in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. At that time, the revenue from the $10 fee was essential for the construction and operation of E-470, according to the release.

The bonds pledged by the fees were originally set to be retired in 2026.

However, the board refinanced the

Holbert voted against the resolution, which passed 2-1.

“I’d like to point out that there is merit and worth in accepting what the DCGOP, the Douglas County Republican Party, voted in at assembly,” Holbert said. “They made preference

bonds in 2001 and reduced the final maturity with a scheduled payoff on Sept. 1, 2018.

“It is my honor to serve on the E-470 Board and have the opportunity to act in support of important policy decisions such as this one,” said Roger Partridge, vice chair, Board of Douglas County Commissioners. “As Douglas County’s voice on this board, my focus is on the best interests of our citizens and taxpayers, and I believe the elimination of this 30-year-old fee is doing just that.”

E-470 is the 75-mph toll road running along the eastern perimeter of the Denver metropolitan area. The userfinanced roadway receives no local, state or federal funds for financing, construction, operations or maintenance.

The E-470 Public Highway Authority Board includes eight local governments including Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and the municipalities of Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Parker and Thornton.

E-470 also operates ExpressToll, an allelectronic toll collection system available on E-470, Northwest Parkway, and Colorado’s Express Lanes.

to two candidates. One of those candidates did take top line.”

Commissioner Lora Thomas offered a rebuttal, stating candidates for previous races, including her run for commissioner and Holbert’s run for treasurer, won the primary despite not being the top-line candidate at the county assembly.

“The 400 or so members that voted in the assembly,” she said, “may not be in sync with the voters that will be voting in the primary in June of this year.”

Heroin Impact Project to target drug dealers Federal, state and county officials gather to announce new program

research of substance abuse prevention programs.

On April 17 at the Unites States Attorney’s Office in Denver, Winnefeld came forward, along with several Colorado officials, to announce the launch of the new Heroin Impact Project.

The project is an initiative of the Heroin Response Work Group, a partnership of federal, state and local agencies coordinating efforts to combat heroin use within Colorado.

Heroin overdose deaths increased 42 percent from 2015 to 2016, according to a Heroin in Colorado study from the Heroin Response Work Group.

The Heroin Impact Project will take two approaches. First, it aims to target dealers through law enforcement and strong prosecution under Operation Poison Pusher. Second, hopes are to connect officers with resources for drug addicts, so they can encourage them into treatment through what’s being called Operation Helping Hand.

Officials used the terms “poison”

James “Sandy” Winnefeld, a retired Navy admiral, lost his son, a University of Denver student, to an overdose of fentanyl-laced heroin last September.

His story gained widespread attention through a piece published in The Atlantic, in which he said despite helping to lead America’s military, he couldn’t save his son from addiction.

Winnefeld, who lives in California, now co-chairs a nonprofit group called S.A.F.E. Project US in an effort to battle opioid addiction and stop fatal overdoses. S.A.F.E. Project US aims to raise public awareness and supports

and “blood money” with frequency during the announcement to describe heroin and fentanyl and the money generated from their sale.

“I think you can detect the anger, the frustration, the drive to do something about this problem,” said U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer. “That anger and that outrage doesn’t come from a place of dinosaurs from the old days of the war on drugs — angry, old reefer madness people.

“It comes from seeing first-hand the death, the torment, the suffering, the terror that an addict feels, that the family members of that addict feel.”

Troyer said while law enforcement targets drug dealers, prosecutors across the state are prepared to seek the strongest sentences and long prison times for those convicted.

“Those are the people that we need to focus on and essentially put them out of business,” said Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock. “They are destroying families and lives every day

by being out there.”

Robert Werthwein, director of the Office of Behavioral Health for the Colorado Department of Human Services, and Gina Olberding, operations manager for the Colorado Consortium for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention, also attended the announcement.

The Heroin Impact Project will draw on existing funding through the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, which serves counties in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, according to director Tom Gorman.

Winnefeld rattled off a number of statistics related to the opioid epidemic during the announcement — 64,000 people died of a drug overdose in the U.S. in 2016 and drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death in Americans under 50.

All were reasons the Heroin Impact Project has his support, he said.

“That’s what we call a national emergency,” Winnefeld said, “not just a public health crisis.”

Silent films speak artistic volumes Annual festival features live accompaniment

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The vast majority of the films that will be shown in the seventh annual Denver Silent Film Festival are 90 years old, at the youngest.

But Howie Movshovitz, director of the festival, adamantly argues against the notion that these films are a trip down memory lane.

“These films are not a nostalgia trip, and I show them without apology,” he said. “These are legitimately great movies that are visually incredibly adventurous. All the films that have been made since haven’t been more adventurous than these.”

The Silent Film Festival will be held from Friday, April 27, through Sunday, April 29 at

the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Sloans Lake, 4255 W. Colfax Ave. in Denver.

This year’s festival will feature nine movies, ranging from stunning personal dramas like “The Passion of Joan of Arc” to comedies like Harold Lloyd’s “Speedy,” and even one of Alfred Hitchcock’s first films, “The Lodger.”

“These films are important, no matter what decade they’re from,” said Steve Bessette, creative director for the Alamo. “You see horror films from this time, or some of their spy thrillers, and really a lot hasn’t changed.

Seeing these early films gives you perspective on the way film has changed and stayed the same.”

Movshovitz has been a lifelong lover of film, but finding workable film prints of many silent films is becoming increasingly difficult. For this year’s festival, almost all the films are digitally restored on discs, providing audiences with the highest quality viewing experience.

SEE SILENT, P26

One of Alfred Hitchcock’s earliest films, “The Lodger” is a clear example of the style that would make the director one of the most famous in Hollywood history. The film will be screened during the seventh annual Denver Silent Film Festival.

ho can say what goes into the creative process?

There’s no way to map the path from muse to inspiration to trial and error and finally the finished work.

Yet that’s just what Steven Sondheim attempted in his musical, “Sunday in the Park with George,” which tells the story COMING of one of the most ATTRACTIONS famous paintings in art history — Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.”

“So many of us think artists are so different from everyone else, but there’s so much huClarke Reader manity in them, just like everyone else,” said Cole Burden, who plays Seurat in the show. “I think people will leave feeling a wash of emotion about these people and the art they made.”

The Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is closing its 2017-2018 season with the show, which runs through May 6, with performances at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The story begins in France in 1884 with Seurat and his muse, Dot (Emily Van Fleet), as they struggle to keep a connection as he labors on his masterwork.

Then the story leaps ahead to the 1980s, where Seurat’s great-grandson, also named George and also played by Burden, struggles to find an artistic path forward.

“Sondheim is the like the Shakespeare of the musical theater world, and presents all kinds of challenges for a singer,” Van Fleet said. “This story asks audiences what we pass down to our children, and legacy of art.”

And as one season ends, the Arvada Center prepares for the start of another. The 2018-2019 season was announced and features an exciting blend of familiar names and unique styles.

The season kicks off with “Mamma Mia!” running Sept. 7 through 30, followed by “Educating Rita,” which runs from Oct. 5 through Nov. 11.

Daniels Park land donor to be remembered in ceremony Florence Martin came from Australia and became heir to fortune

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

H

ave readers ever wondered about how the beautiful Daniels Park in Douglas County came to be? They can thank Florence Martin, who will be celebrated by members of the Sedalia Museum from 1 to 3 p.m. on April 28 at the Sedalia Fire Station, next to the museum (take Highway 85, Santa Fe Drive, to Jarre Canyon Road, Sedalia, and turn west to the nearby fire station). The program is called “Who Was Florence Martin and Why is There a Daniels Park?” The public is invited.

Shaun Boyd, curator of archives at History Colorado, following 20 years at the Castle Rock Library, will talk about Florence Martin around 1:30, after visitors have had time to explore a collection of Martin’s possessions inherited by her friend, Phyllida Porter of Littleton.

Boyd said she found many references to Martin in the archives of the Douglas County News-Press, the Castle Rock newspaper, including her work in founding the Denver Civic Theatre with Helen Bonfils. She also located biographical information in a teacher’s memoirs from the period and through internet research in Australia. During one year, public school was held at Martin’s house. (There were 40 one-room schools in Douglas County.)

Porter, who says she house-sat for Martin during her frequent travels, is

convinced that there should be some recognition of Martin’s gift of Daniels Park — perhaps near the entrance?

She and museum members have organized this program in Martin’s honor as a starting point. (Cookies from Martin’s recipe will be served.)

Florence Martin (1897-1957) was from New South Wales, Australia (where Bega is located, for Littleton history buffs). Daughter of a wealthy mother and the chief justice of New South Wales, one of their many children, she sought intellectual fare and started training in the arts, then as a physicist, at the University of Sydney, where she pursued research (unpaid) under professor Sir Richard Threfall.

She met William Cooke Daniels, a young American explorer, and shared her home with his fiancée, Cicely Banner, during Daniel’s 16-month absence on a trip to New Guinea. The couple married the next year and Martin went to live with them, chiefly on English and French estates, according to the “Australian Dictionary of Biography.” They traveled the world until the outbreak of

In 1923, the Territorial Daughters added a memorial in the park, marking Kit Carson’s last campfire.

World War I in 1914.

Daniels, heir to the Daniels and Fisher Department Store in Denver, died unexpectedly in 1918 and his widow succumbed to the worldwide influenza epidemic shortly afterward.

Martin found herself heir to a large income for life from the Daniels estate in Denver and settled there, becoming prominent in Denver society.

Included was a mountain estate outside to the south of Denver, where Martin and her sister spent their summers. She first gave 38 acres of her land to the city of Denver in 1920, then expanded it to 1,000 acres in 1937. The area is bisected by Riley Hill, which runs north-south to reach Wildcat Point (6020 feet elevation). According to the Colorado Encyclopedia, the area was well-known to travelers as a rendezvous point and travel route …

In the late 1850s and early 1860s, the ridge was already one of Colorado’s first territorial roads.

By 1922, the City of Denver had built campfire sites and a stone shelter designed by Denver architect Jules Jacque Benoist Benedict, who also designed his own home in Littleton (now the Carmelite Monastery) as well as Town Hall Arts Center and the Carnegie Library (now the Melting Pot) and Littleton’s First Presbyterian Church.

In 1923, the Territorial Daughters added a memorial in the park, marking Kit Carson’s last campfire.

In the early 1920s, Martin built a house and other ranch buildings, with a fine view of the Front Range.

Included: a dairy barn, chicken coop, bunk house, horse barn and two-story workshop, as well as a picnic area. Her house burned in 1937, but other buildings remain, used by staff.

Today, Daniels Park is part of a 12,000-acre open space, bounded by Castle Pines on the east, Highlands Ranch on the north and Highway 85 on the west and south. The open space includes Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness and Cherokee Ranch.

The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and since 1977, it includes the Tall Bull Memorial Grounds, controlled by a consortium of Native Americans who hold a powwow on Labor Day weekend, open to the public, as well as using it for private ceremonies. A herd of bison was started with overflow from the Genesee Park herd and can be seen grazing on many acres. (View from a distance.)

Work on a long-term master plan is nearly completed, which should make driving and hiking easier and improve sightlines toward the Front Range.

The newest invertebrate at Butterfly Pavilion needs a name.

The Westminster-based zoo is asking visitors to submit a name for its Octopus vulgaris, better known as the common octopus, through April 28.

The top five names will be put to a public vote from April 30 to May 3. The winning name will be revealed during the Butterfly Pavilion’s May the Fourth celebration May 4. The winner will get a family membership and a behind-thescenes tour of the zoo.

The new cephalopod (invertebrates in the squid/octopus family) is from the Florida Keys, but others can be found throughout tropical and sub-tropical areas of the Atlantic Ocean, said a news release from the Butterfly Pavilion.

With an average lifespan of 1-2 years and ranging in size from 12-36 inches and 6 ½ to 22 pounds, these octopuses are famous for the way the defend themselves in the wild - they create a thick cloud of ink that can dull a predator’s sense of smell and allow the octopus to get away. They are also known

for their intelligence and even collect shells to decorate their dens knowns as octopus gardens.

“People are able to relate to octopuses in a way that is unrivaled by any other invertebrate,” Butterfly Pavilion aquarist Sara Stevens said in the release.

“Due to their intelligence and almost childlike way in which octopuses interact with the world, our guests seem to connect and fall in love with them very easily. It’s an animal that instantly creates a sense of awe and wonder, making them fun and important ambassadors for ocean conservation.”

Wonderbound comes through with another offbeat creation ‘Madness, Rack and Honey’ ties purposeful poetry and randomness to music

IF YOU GO Madness, Rack and Honey” will be performed at two locations: 7:30 p.m. April 27 and 28; 2 p.m.

April 29 at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights. Tickets $22-$50, 303292-4700, wonderbound.com.

Wonderbound Ballet’s newest production, “Madness, Rack and Honey,” comes at an especially appropriate time: April is National Poetry Month!

Inspired by poetry as well as familiar classical music, “Sinfonia Concertante,” by Mozart, choreographer Garrett Ammons premiered his “Madness, Rack and Honey” with the Smuin Ballet in San Francisco in 2016. Now, Colorado audiences will experience this new work, with its name based on a collection of lectures by award-winning American poet Mary Ruefle: “Madness, Rack and Honey,” as well as on a random, word-generated poem created by Ammons in a cadence that matches

7:30 p.m. May 5; 2 p.m. May 6 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. 303-805-6800, parkerarts.org.

Ammons’ way of collaborating with one or another musical group is nourishing to all the artists concerned with a mutual project — stretching the imaginations and enriching already considerable skills. The performances are characterized by a very special sense of joy that also rewards an audience with a new way of presenting a beautiful art form.

San Francisco critics praised the piece as a “rollicking” and “infectious good time.” Sounds like a perfect celebration of spring as well as of the arts.

Wonderbound Dance Company will perform “Madness, Rack and Honey” in Denver and in Parker, accompanied by members of the Colorado Symphony.

PHOTO BY AMANDA TIPTON performed to Mozart’s music as well.

Tallman drew inspiration from 20th-century poets, such as Langston Hughes and e.e. cummings and works with her dancers amid “a garden of Chiavari chairs, filling the stage with a grandiose joy that matches Mozart’s `Divertimento No. 11 in D major,’” according to Wonderbound’s

the score. Performances are scheduled April 27-May 6.

Members of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra will perform with the talented dancers of the Wonderbound contemporary dance company in “Madness, Rack and Honey,” as well as with company member Sarah Tallman’s new piece, “I Didn’t Hear You, I was Away With the Fairies,”

Amber Blais.

Claude Sim, associate concertmaster of the CSO, has happy memories of previous projects shared by orchestra members and Wonderbound: “Over the past seasons, we’ve had the great honor of working with the superbly talented Garrett Ammons and Dawn Fey on past performances at Wonderbound …”

FIRE FROM PAGE 2

18 that he had opened his door the morning before to a police officer telling him to get out. Their home was downwind from the growing fire. Pepi packed his cat in a carrier and stood down the street with other evacuated residents as smoke and steam filled the block, he said.

“I just had to think of everything in the house, if there was anything I couldn’t replace,” he said.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation, but residents reported seeing the first flames between the two ruined homes, possibly near the garage of one before it spread to the other.

Bunch was doing laundry in her basement when the fire began. She thought she heard a loud noise, she said, and came upstairs to find her house smelled of smoke. Quickly, she gathered the pets she could find — all but one cat — and got out.

With the help of first responders, she moved cars and got her animals to the veterinary clinic where she works part-time, Brooklyn Veterinary Clinic.

A firefighter later found her missing cat, which was unharmed.

“We just got really lucky that they showed up here when they did because they started dousing our house first,” Bunch said.

Brantley, who works from home, also said she first noticed the sounds of the fire.

Lisa Bunch and her daughter, SierraKay Okimoto, stand before their home damaged in a Castle Rock fire that destroyed two houses and impacted five others.

JESSICA GIBBS “I heard like a screeching noise, a screeching, hissing noise,” she said.

“Then I heard loud pops.”

Neighbors rushed to her home and the two next door, banging on doors and windows to make sure no one was home, she said. Once outside, Brantley sat across the street for most of the day and watched the fire. The worst part, she said, was seeing the two homes burn before firefighters arrived, feeling unable to help.

“Mostly, I felt for my neighbors,” she said.

The only damage to her home she found was a cracked kitchen window, Brantley said. She stayed there that night after being allowed back in around 3 p.m. on April 17, she said.

Bunch’s family, however, cannot stay in their home. They stopped by April 18 to grab clothes and food, she said, and reflect on how close they came to a worse situation.

“We’re fine,” Bunch said. “We’re safe.”

Mammogram follow-ups can be fraught with fear An abnormal result doesn’t always mean breast cancer

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It could have been a luxury spa day.

Five women sat gathered in a small waiting room, clad in purple smocks with pink trim, listening to soft music and indulging in individual-sized snacks of cookies and crackers. The women made small talk and joked with each other about the warm February weather, current events. They talked about anything but the reason they were all there. And with good reason. They were all there because they thought they might have breast cancer.

Each had received the letter, email or phone call that every woman dreads — the news that their recent mammogram had come back abnormal. And now, the hours spent at Invision Sally Jobe Imaging Center in Lone Tree seemed like an eternity.

Deborah Willard, 54, received one of those letters, and said the response struck fear in her heart, and left her unable to sleep for nearly three weeks, until she went back for her follow-up appointment.

“It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever had happen,” said Willard, of Denver. “The letter does say that there are a lot of reasons to get called

WHEN A MAMMOGRAM ISN’T ENOUGH Many women are called back for follow-up tests after a routine mammogram, which often means their breast tissue is dense or certain areas were unclear on the initial mammogram. An estimated 40 percent of women have dense breast tissue, according to a brochure printed by Invision Sally Jobe.

A mammogram can detect cancer in women who have dense breast tissue, but there are other options available that provide better images.

According to the National Cancer Institute, there are several diagnostic tests that can be utilized to ensure breast health and for early detection of cancer:

or “slices.” The slices allow radiologists to see parts of the breast more clearly than a traditional mammogram.

Screening breast ultrasound (SBU) — Sound waves are used to see through tissues, and shows a different view than mammography. Ultrasound is often used to examine specific portions of the breast, especially if there is an area of concern, such as a lump or pain. SBU allows radiologists to look through dense tissue in order to find small cancers.

3D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis) — This technology, also referred to as “tomo,” creates multiple thin images,

Breast magnetic resonance imaging screening (MRI) — MRI is often recommended for women who have a history or breast cancer in the family, or are at additional risk for breast cancer, including those who have a specific mutation in genes such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

back, but honestly all I read was, ‘you might have breast cancer.’”

According to the Society for Women’s Health Research, 47 percent of women who received a mammogram reported being called back for further testing at some point after receiving abnormal mammogram results, triggering feelings of fear, stress and sadness.

“Being afraid is no reason to delay a mammogram, especially if you find a lump or something that concerns you,” said Amy Miller, president and

chief executive officer of the SWHR, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that was started with the intention of getting women into trials and providing research on women’s health.

“Mammograms are the best way to detect cancer early, and while most people associate cancer with losing hair, vomiting and being sick, treatments are much less onerous than it used to be. Cancers caught early through a mammogram are highly treatable.”

WHEN AND WHY SHOULD WOMEN GET A MAMMOGRAM? The following are tips from the Society for Women’s Health Research: • Women over the age of 40 should receive a mammogram. After the initial mammogram, women should speak with their doctors to determine the best mammogram for them and decide on the frequency they are both comfortable with.

• Women who have a family history of cancer, as a rule, should begin getting mammograms 10 years earlier than the year the direct relative was diagnosed.

• Women who find a lump or troublesome spot or have any concerns should visit their doctor immediately. of operations at Invision Sally Jobe, which has 12 mammogram screening locations throughout the Denver metro area. Their facilities screen thousands of women each year, and according to Freivogel, breast cancer diagnoses are not as common as women think.

“In reality, only five women in 1,000 who get screened will receive a diagnosis of cancer,” said Freivogel. “Out of 1,000 women screened, 100 will be called back for further testing. Sixtyone of those women will find there’s SEE MAMMOGRAM, P30

before, but this is the longest one I’ve tackled, and my first collaboration with Billy,” Weaver said. “It’s been a really fun process working on the music together and getting ready for the live accompaniment.”

One of the first war documentaries, this film show’s preparation for one of World War I’s most devastating battles. The four-month battle started with 21,000 dead on its first day, and only got worse as it wore on.

To get started on the scoring process, Weaver and Overton watched the film and started writing musical themes and progressions they could pull out of their “musical toolkit” whenever necessary. They’ll both be using a variety of instruments in the performance, including keyboards and percussion instruments, and even a flute.

“The idea of doing this music live is really exciting, and I think combining performance with these great films is a great way for people of all ages to get into silent films,” Weaver said. “These elements bring

Another way the festival is bringing these historic presentations to modern life is in the musical scoring. All screenings will be accompanied by live musical performances, just like so many were when they were first shown.

“Big places like New York or Los Angeles might have full orchestras playing scores, but at smaller theaters around the country, it might just be a pianist playing some music to go with the film,” Movshovitz explained. “Now we can use music to bring these films to younger audiences.”

Some screenings will have orchestras, others just a solo musician, and excitingly, two Alamo projectionists — Billy Overton and David Weaver — are contributing an original score to 1916’s “The Battle of the Somme.”

In honor of what would have been the 10th birthday of Leonard Bernstein, the musical’s composer, the Boulder Philharmonic and Central City Opera and Choirs are coming together at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., to perform “West Side Story” in concert. The show will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 29.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Desert Daze Caravan II Like a great many people, I wasn’t able to make the journey out to the California desert for Coachella. But that’s okay, because a little bit of the desert is coming to Denver.

The Desert Daze Caravan II concert, featuring Ariel Pink, DIIV, Nick Hakim, Suuns and JJUUJJUU, will be making a stop at the Summit Music

Hall, 1902 Blake St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 3.

All three artists at the top of the bill — Ariel Pink, DIIV, and Hakim — come at their genres from unique angles.

Ariel Pink (real name Ariel Marcus Rosenberg) twists tired singer-songwriter tropes into music that is wildly eclectic and experimental.

DIIV makes some of the best shoegaze music this side of my bloody valentine, and lead guitarist Z. Cole Smith is dedicated to exploring the beauty and wrath that swirling electric guitars are capable of creating. And Nick Hakim takes love-drunk R&B music and injects it with electronic elements, psychedelia, and just straight up heart-wrenching vocals.

To get tickets, visit www.lndenver. com. And hey, I’m sure drinks will be cheaper than Coachella.

Pre-party for Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh The Grateful Dead is one of the most influential and important rock bands in American history — one of those bands that added a new vocabulary to the musical conversation and inspired all kinds of followers.

Bass guitarist Phil Lesh was one of the key components to the band’s success, and he’s maintained a more than devoted fanbase throughout his solo career.

The man is playing Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 5, but fans can start the festivities earlier at Wrigley’s Chicago Bar and Grill, 18200 Colfax Ave. in Golden, which is hosting a Cinco De Mayo concert pre-party with band Sweet Delta Dawn. The free show goes from 1 to 5 p.m.

Sweet Delta Dawn is a four-piece rock group from Madison, Wisconsin, and has been making a name for itself in the jam band community. They cover a blend of folk, classic rock, jazz, funk, and modern music.

Marijuana extract being eyed for U.S. medical market GW Pharmaceuticals seeks approval for its version of cannabidiol

BY MATTHEW PERRONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A closely watched medicine made from the marijuana plant reduces seizures in children with severe forms of epilepsy and warrants approval in the United States, health officials said April 17.

British drugmaker GW Pharmaceuticals is seeking permission to sell its purified form of an ingredient found in cannabis — one that doesn’t get users high — as a medication for rare, hard-to-treat seizures in children. If successful, the company’s liquid formula would be the first government-approved drug derived from the cannabis plant in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration’s approval would technically limit the treatment to a small group of epilepsy patients. But doctors would have the option to prescribe it for other uses and it could spur new pharmaceutical research and interest into other cannabis-based products. Man-made versions of a different marijuana ingredient have previously been approved for other purposes.

The FDA posted its review of the

experimental medication Epidiolex ahead of a public meeting April 19, in which a panel of outside experts voted to approve the medicine after reviewing its safety and effectiveness. It’s a non-binding recommendation that the FDA will consider in its final decision by late June.

Patients taking the treatment had fewer seizures, according to the FDA’s internal review posted online. Scientists concluded that GW Pharmaceutical’s submission “appears to support approval” despite some potential side effects including risks of liver injury.

More than two dozen states allow marijuana use for a variety of ailments, but the FDA has not approved it for any medical use. In 2016, the agency recommended against easing federal restrictions on marijuana. The U.S. continues to classify marijuana as a high-risk substance with no medical use, alongside other illicit drugs like heroin and LSD. For years, desperate patients and parents have pushed for wider access to medical marijuana products for a host of conditions including pain, posttraumatic stress disorder and epilepsy, with only anecdotal stories and limited studies on their side.

But studies conducted by GW Pharmaceuticals have begun to change that picture.

Across three studies involving more than 500 patients, Epidiolex generally

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

cut the number of monthly seizures by about 40 percent, compared with reductions between 15 and 20 percent for patients taking a dummy medicine.

Most patients in the study were already taking at least three other medications to try and control their seizures.

Epidiolex is essentially a pharmaceutical-grade version of cannabidiol, or CBD oil, which some parents have used for years to treat children with epilepsy. CBD is one of more than 100 chemicals found in the cannabis plant and it doesn’t contain THC, the ingredient that gives marijuana its mindaltering effect.

CBD oil is currently sold online and in specialty shops across the U.S., though its legal status remains murky.

Most producers say their oil is made from hemp, a plant in the cannabis family that contains little THC and can be legally farmed in a number of states for clothing, food and other uses.

GW Pharmaceuticals declined to

comment on the price of the drug ahead of an approval decision. Wall Street analysts estimate it could cost more than $25,000 per year, with annual sales eventually reaching $1 billion.

A doctor who treats children with epilepsy says it’s important to have an FDAapproved version of CBD. “I think it needs to be approved because everyone is using it across the internet without knowing the safety ... and no one is watching the interactions with other drugs,” said Dr. Joan Conry of Children’s National Health System in Washington, who was not involved in the studies.

Conry and other researchers say it’s not yet clear why CBD reduces seizures in some patients.

GW Pharmaceuticals makes its drug from cannabis plants that are specially bred to contain high levels of CBD. It’s seeking approval for two rare forms of childhood epilepsy — Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.

Common side effects included diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and sleep problems. FDA reviewers flagged a more serious issue with potential liver injury, but said doctors could manage the risk by monitoring patients’ enzyme levels.

Wall Street analysts estimate it could cost more than $25,000 per year, with annual sales eventually reaching $1 billion.

Willard was one of those women who was called back because she had “dense” breasts, which simply means the initial screening mammogram could not provide a clear shot of her breasts. Dense breasts are not uncommon, and addition tests, such as 3D mammography, provide a better picture of what’s going on.

“I was so relieved,” said Willard.

“My breasts are dense, so from here on out I will need 3D mammograms each year. I’m happy to know nothing was wrong, but I would have preferred them start with the 3D and saved me

making an annual salary of $240,000.

The highest paid superintendent in Colorado is Jason Glass of Jefferson County Public Schools, who was hired last July at an annual salary of $265,000.

At the district in Cincinnati, Tucker earns a base salary of $145,000, according to a local news outlet there.

no cost-sharing to the patient,” said Miller.

Preventative mammograms are routine screenings that are recommended for women over 40 years of age. Screening centers often offer walk-in screenings, and depending on the flow of traffic at the clinic, can often get women in and out the door within an hour or two. If the screening mammogram is unclear, then the patient will be referred back for a diagnostic mammogram, which includes 3D imaging, which is not fully covered by insurance and often carries a co-pay.

Dr. Joyce Moore, co-director of the breast care program at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, said aforementioned barriers should not prevent women from getting a mammogram.

“We will work with any woman to make sure they get the tests they need,” she said.

of a sudden, by the way, we want you to work for far less than other leaders have in this district,’” Ray said at the board meeting. “I would reference that our previous permanent superintendent was brought on for $273,715. Just that notion alone should tell you that we have a man of integrity that recognizes it’s not about money.”

At a special meeting on April 5, the seven school board members voted unanimously to hire Tucker after a months-long nationwide search.

Born and raised in northeastern Arkansas, Tucker served 27 years in the Kansas and Ohio public school

systems as a classroom teacher, assistant principal, principal and director of secondary curriculum, according to his website, www.tstucker.me. In 2015, he was named superintendent of the Princeton City School District, serving 5,633 students.

Tucker was named National Superintendent of the Year by the American Association of School Administrators in 2016 and the National Alliance of Black School Educators in 2013. In 2012, he helped pass an incremental levy and no-new-taxes $40 million bond issue, according to his biography on DCSD’s website. He was the first

CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE: RUMOURS

SOLO PIANO WITH STACEY ROSE

SATURDAY, MAY 5 | 8 PM

SATURDAY, MAY 12 | 8 PM

Classic Albums Live recreates Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours with skilled vocalists and musicians who honor the work with no gimmicks, no make-up or other illusions employed by tribute bands. Note for note, cut for cut, the attention to detail is staggering; every sound from the album is masterfully duplicated live on stage. Rumours is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed albums released in the 1970s.

Originally released in 1975, it contains many of the group’s greatest hits, including Hospitality Sponsor: “Don’t Stop,” “Go Your Own Way,” “The Chain,” and “Dreams.”

Captivating audiences across the world with her unique combination of virtuosity, beauty of tone, and musical sincerity, Denver native Stacey Rose projects true magnetism on today’s music stage. Cheered in solo recital, as a soloist with orchestra, and as a chamber music collaborator, her graceful musicianship has been shared in over ten countries. As a composer, she has received enthusiastic response to her performances of original works. This performance will be a solo recital program of original compositions, representing Rose’s contemporary conceptions of traditional musical forms.

Many community members who watched Tucker speak at forums and during public interviews applauded the board’s selection, lauding Tucker for his driven demeanor and studentcentered mentality.

“He obviously looks at the whole child and the best interest of each child,” said parent Kristin DeBeer.

“He just has an aura about him that makes me feel like he will be able to manage conflict with authority but also understanding and patience.”

In addition to identifying cancer early, mammograms also screen for a host of other conditions, which are not life-threatening, including fibrocystic breast disease, dense breasts, fatty breasts and scar tissue. According to the American Cancer Society, other benign lumps or tumors that can be found in the breast include lipoma, hamartoma, hemangioma, hematoma, adenomyoepithelioma and neurofibroma.

The SWHR report also revealed that 46 percent of women fail to make scheduling a mammogram an annual occurrence, citing high cost and lack of insurance as significant barriers.

Non-medical costs, such as time off work, travel or child care are barriers as well.

“A lot of women don’t know that the Affordable Care Act requires that health insurance cover preventative services like mammography at

ensen Ellis is a playmaker for the Ponderosa girls soccer team.

She controls the Mustangs’ offense and her precise passes often to lead to goals.

Jensen’s younger sister Jazlynn has benefited from her sister’s passing ability and is the team’s leading scorer.

It’s a sister combination that’s been dominating for Ponderosa in the Continental League.

Jensen, a senior who will be attending Wheaton College, leads the league with 12 assists and is third in points with 18. Jazlynn, a sophomore, is the ContiOVERTIME nental League’s leading goal scorer with 15 and is tops with 31 points.

“I guess you could say I’m a playmaker,” said Jensen. “I kind of look for Jazlynn so it is easy for me. We’re both in the central midfielder so it is really nice. We’ve known Jim Benton each other our whole lives and watching each other play, we kind of know what each other is thinking.

“My sister is a very good player. She chose not to play on the Development Academy so she could play high school with me for my last year. I know where she is moving and she knows how to get open. It doesn’t matter how many players are on her, she’ll get open.”

Players who elect to play on one of the 25 U.S. Girls Development Academy teams are not allowed to play high school soccer. Real Colorado and Colorado Rush are two Colorado clubs that have DA teams.

“With DA for the first year being open to girls I really don’t know what I’m missing,” said Jazlynn. “Next year either way I was going to go developmental, so I wanted to spend this last year playing with Jensen. It’s been a lot of fun. I have no regrets at all.

“I guess I am the goal scorer. I’ve played forward all my life. Jensen played more defensive mid and more defensive positions growing up, so I guess I have more of the attacking, offensive mindset. I tend to be double-manned usually but Jensen knows me well enough that I can move and she can find me.”

Ponderosa, a 4A school ranked third in the CHSAANow.com poll, plays in the 5A Continental League is in contention for the league title and the Ellis sisters are ready for the challenge that will be provided by state tournament teams.

Jensen and Jazlynn couldn’t play club together because of the age different but found ways to play on the same indoor 3-v-3 and 5-v-5 teams.

“We were always competitive,” said Jazlynn. “Not just soccer but everything.

Individually when we go against each other, we’re super competitive. There were many tears after losses. The medals we won were shined and put on the walls. Winning is SEE BENTON, P34

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraph 9 (a) (i) has been violated; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $267,674.69 as of March 7, 2018; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on November 1, 2017 at Reception No. 2017074607, notice is hereby given that the sale scheduled to occur on April 16, 2018 is adjourned and the rescheduled sale will be held on May 16, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. local time, at which time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: LOT 4, ACRES GREEN FILING NO. 2, COUNTY OF DOUGLAS, STATE OF COLORADO Commonly known as: 13673 Libra Court, Littleton, CO 80124.

The sale will be held at 13673 Libra Court, Littleton, CO 80124.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $267,674.69 as of March 7, 2018, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable

Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition.

If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests.
