MY NAME IS

JALON BAXTER

Castle View senior who will miss ‘home’ in Castle Rock About me I am a graduating senior at Castle View High School. In my free time, I play guitar, go rock climbing, hang out with friends or play with my band. I would rather be outside than sitting inside playing video games. School has always been something I am interested in; I enjoy learning about the world I live in.

Interning with Town of Castle Rock The internship I was granted with the Town of Castle Rock, specifically with the GIS (geographic information systems) team, was centered around the creation of the Community Resources Map, which can be found on the GIS

webpage. My task was to create a map of locations that would be helpful to new or curious Castle Rock residents. GIS is interesting to me because of its spatial connection to data and the kinds of analysis GIS programs are capable of. The flexibility that GIS offers, in terms of its capabilities and analysis, allows it to be applicable to just about any career.

A GIS is simply a useful tool for visual data storage. The visualization of data, like census data for example, provides insights into the everyday world we live in that would not have otherwise have been visible in numbers or spreadsheets.

Looking to science After graduation I will be attending the Colorado School of Mines for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or computer science. I haven’t quite decided yet due to my lack of experience in general physics. My plan is to get a bachelor’s degree in a general science and redirect

my education to nanochemistry or nanophysics afterwards. Theoretical and particle physics and chemistry are fascinating to me.

Saying goodbye Leaving Castle Rock will be hard because I’ve spent the last 10 or so years here. It’s my home — where I grew up with my friends and family. There are so many memories I have here and it’s sad to see a chapter of my life ending. But it is also exciting to open the next chapter and explore the possibilities and opportunities it holds.

My advice I believe that life is all about maintaining balance. Everything that is unbalanced falls over eventually. Secondarily, I think it is important to be open to adaptations to maintain balance. Life, in my experience, does not generally allow for forcible balance.

Findings of a comprehensive new survey show that about two-thirds of high school students and parents believe that Douglas County schools are offering a “good” or “very good” education.

But some other findings from the $220,000 survey commissioned by the Douglas County School District show a less-positive experience.

Almost 40 percent of parents and guardians with children in the district do not believe the district values their opinion, according to the survey conducted late last year and in early 2017. And 30 percent of parents and 40 percent of other community members do not believe the district appropriately spends tax dollars.

The survey of 16,968 people — parents, high school students, district employees and community members — was presented to the school board and community April 18. Parents of children attending DCSD schools made up 63 percent of those surveyed.

“I think a lot of this information and data is not exactly a surprise to us,” board of education President Meghann Silverthorn said. “Some of it is very critical, and I think the board has already started to try and be more responsive to what the community has told us.”

Board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said the survey will inform how the district makes decisions in the future.

“I think we got some good information on the direction we need to go as a board, not just for what the community wants, but what our students need,” Lemieux said.

In July 2016, the board of education approved the money for Corona Insights, a Denver-based research and strategy firm, to conduct the extensive community survey. While the district conducted surveys in the past, this was the first time DCSD contracted with an outside firm for an in-depth, scientific survey.

The Douglas County Federation, the teachers’ union, conducted its own surveys in 2012 and 2015.

“We sincerely hope that DCSD will realize that their employees need a seat at the table, and that their voices need to be heard,” said Kallie Leyba, president of the Douglas County Federation.

“Employees offered similar feedback in multiple surveys over the past several years, but DCSD discounted each of those surveys. We are grateful that the district finally conducted their own assessment to validate the previous results.”

School board member James Geddes suggested that a similar survey be conducted every few years to help guide the district and keep it connected to the desires of the community.

“It seems to me that a serial measure, maybe every two to three years, would help us to know if we’re doing the right thing when we’re making some of these changes,” Geddes said.

The following is a look at survey results among the various groups.

ABOUT THE SURVEY Corona used the district’s email database to contact people for the survey, which meant all parents and employees with correct email contact information were invited to participate.

The collected data was aggregated and reported without identifying any individuals, Raines said.

During the eight-month process, Corona collected feedback from roughly 3,200 employees, 10,000 parents, 2,913 students, 165 community members not connected to the district and 36 employers and higher-education professionals.

DCSD SURVEY BY THE NUMBERS

— percent of parents and guardians rated the district as good or very good in terms of providing a safe environment for students.

— percent of employees reported that they have high morale.

— percent of parents and guardians do not think that the school district values their opinion.

— percent of employees don’t trust the board of education at all.

— percent of students don’t think it’s easy to get help with personal problems at school.

— percent of employees believe that their coworkers have high morale.

Source: Douglas County School District survey by Corona Insights Parents/community members Kevin Raines, president of Corona Insights, said the two biggest concerns revealed by the survey were the need to retain quality teachers and whether or not the district is using taxpayer money wisely.

Almost a third of parents rated the district as poor or very poor in terms of appropriately spending taxpayers’ money.

Forty percent of parents rated the district poor or very poor when it comes to retaining quality teachers.

Thirty-nine percent of parents and 50 percent of community members indicated that they do not believe the district values their opinion.

The group Douglas County Parents said it hopes the district will use the new information to “make the appropriate corrections.”

“We are pleased to see the district requesting community feedback again,” said Jason Virdin, spokesman for the group. “The reform-minded board and superintendent have spent much of the last eight years forcing a reform agenda on the schools in DCSD while dismissing the concerns of parents, teachers and community members.”

Council approves $300 million Miller’s Landing project Development, opposed by two councilmembers, will remediate old town dump

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock will soon have a new $300 million development called Miller’s Landing near Interstate 25 and Plum Creek Parkway.

The four-phase, 65-acre project received final approval April 18 when the town council signed a $65 million public finance agreement with developers P3 Advisors and Citadel Development, LLC. The 5-2 vote got a no from District 4 Councilmember Jason Bower and Mayor Jennifer Green.

Bower fears the national retail climate, in which stores like Macy’s are closing, paired with an already saturated retail market in Castle Rock — with an outlet mall and the still-developing Promenade shopping center — could lead to a cannibalism effect.

The developer has said it intends to attract destination-style retail that won’t compete with the existing market.

Green also noted that the finance agreement allows the developer to build up to 100,000 square feet of retail before it has secured the plan’s

“Overall, I do like this project. I like the vision for this project,” Green said. However, “this is a project I have been struggling with for a little while.

The more I learned about it, the more I started to struggle with it.”

But with the green light from council, Miller’s Landing is setting out to bring a hotel with at least 250 rooms and 10,000 square feet of conference space. Throughout its projected seven-

to 10-year build-out, Miller’s Landing will build nearly 900,000 square feet of mixed-use development, including office and retail space.

Under the finance agreement, the developer cannot build more than 100,000 square feet of retail until it delivers a full-service hotel, and no more than 250,000 square feet of retail until it has built 150,000 square feet of office space.

Economic Development Council President Frank Gray says there’s plenty to love about the development plan.

For years he’s watched numerous

developers walk away from the property — mostly because it’s home to a daunting town landfill. Remediating the dump is costly and requires state supervision.

Through P3 Advisors, the town has found a developer that is not only willing to take it on, but also experienced in landfill remediations. Phase one of development will include the $12 million remediation.

The project proposal was alluring to councilmembers seeking the hotel and conference center, plus the added SEE PROJECT, P14

Board of County Commissioners’ Priorities

Douglas County Board of Commissioners Chairman Roger Partridge speaks at a news conference announcing the formation of the I-25 Gap Coalition.

JESSICA GIBBS

Coalition will hunt for funds to pay for highway widening I-25 Gap Coalition puts focus on finding money to improve corridor

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Widening what’s known as “The Gap” along Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument is top of mind for government officials across the Front Range.

The stretch where the roadway narrows to two lanes in each direction for 17 miles presents a safety hazard because of congestion, officials said.

Plus, officials hope a better interstate will act as an economic catalyst and improve what’s also a national security corridor.

In January, the Colorado Department of Transportation announced plans to accelerate environmental and planning processes to have an improvement project shovel-ready by 2019. The catch was funding — somewhere between $300 million and $500 million still needed to be secured.

On April 19, numerous officials came together at a news conference held in Douglas County to announce the founding of a coalition that will seek to identify those dollars at the local, state and federal level.

Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said the I-25 Gap project has wide public support among his constituents, and that El Paso residents “want it done.”

“What we need now is focused, legislative support,” he said at the news conference. “We’re in this for the fight. We’re going to make sure it happens.”

Hopefully, Douglas County Board of Commissioners Chairman Roger Partridge said, the coalition can find that money by the end of the year.

Coalition membership includes

representation from areas like Monument, Palmer Lake, Castle Pines, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree and Arapahoe and Pueblo counties.

“It’s just such an important project that we have many, many included,” Partridge said, opening the news conference on April 19.

Douglas County commissioners have already traveled to Washington D.C. and stressed this project’s important to the Colorado delegation, Partridge said. And although the county has not been approached with a request for local dollars, Partridge said, the county is ready and willing to be a financial partner.

The event had federal representation with the likes of Congressman Mike Coffman, who serves communities such as Aurora and portions of Littleton and Centennial.

“Certainly, the I-25 corridor is important to the state of Colorado,” Coffman said.

A spokesman for Congressman Doug Lamborn, who mostly represents Colorado Springs, read a statement on his behalf.

“The coalition represents a strong and unified effort along the Front Range to move this project into the state’s top transportation priorities,” the statement read. “It is absolutely vital that the section known as the ‘Gap’ is widened and improved at the earliest possible time.”

The statement also promised Lamborn would continue advocating the project to leadership in the Colorado Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation to ensure funding is made available.

For Partridge, there’s no denying the task is tall order, but he remained optimistic that the coalition could bring in the dollars.

“The good thing is, it’s on the radar with the state,” Partridge said after the conference, “and on the federal level.”

‘I LOST ALL OF THEM’

BY ALEX DEWIND | ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Portraits of Ethan Laber, 5, and his brother Adam, 3, teddy bears and blue gemstones — which the boys loved to find in backyard treasure hunts — were displayed for guests at a memorial service at St. Philip Lutheran Church in Jefferson County on Dec. 6.

In a world of grief, Ryan Laber keeps memories of family close

A

t times, Ryan Laber feels as if he is drifting in the ocean.

Grief washes over him in waves, recedes, then comes in again.

Other times, he stands in a valley, staring at sheer cliffs encircling him, wondering how he will ever climb out.

“Losing all of your children and your spouse — that is a pretty earth-shattering thing,” he says.

Since his wife shot and killed their sons and then herself five months ago, the days flash back and forth between memories of life as it was and the reality of life as it is now. He is trying to move forward, wading through the sorrow, coming to terms with his wife’s depression and bipolar disorder, holding onto the joy his sons brought him.

“It’s this nonstop buzz of emotion,” Laber says.

“What you’ll find is that you’re just trying to look for tangible memories of the things you lost.”

Laber, 40, is a 6-foot-3 solidly-built man with a welcoming demeanor and a dimpled smile, a director in an electronics company whose life revolved around his family. The sadness in his brown eyes wells into tears when he remembers.

On Nov. 30, police found his wife of 12 years, Jennifer, 38, and their two sons, Adam, 3, and Ethan, 5, dead in the family minivan on an abandoned loading dock outside of a shuttered Sports Authority in Lone Tree. The Douglas County coroner determined the boys each died of a single gunshot wound and Jennifer from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Laber was upstairs in Ethan’s bedroom, where

he and Jennifer read bedtime stories to their sons, when he saw the police car pull up to their Highlands Ranch home later that day.

“I put my arms on his bed and I tried to talk to them.” He knew. They were in heaven.

• WHY WE WROTE THESE STORIES See page 12 for an editorial explaining the thought process behind this package.

•

On a March afternoon, Laber sits in a Highlands Ranch coffee shop, next door to Salsa Brava, a favorite Mexican restaurant of his sons. As he talks about their deaths and his grief, his eyes dart from his coffee cup to the room

around him.

The day his world shattered was Nov. 29.

Laber had left his work at Arrow Electronics in Centennial by 5 p.m. to make it home in time for dinner, as he did every evening. But their home was dark. Jennifer, Ethan and Adam were gone.

Confused, Laber started calling friends and family. He wondered if he had unconsciously said or done something to upset Jennifer, a stayat-home mom. He wondered if she had taken the boys and started driving to Minnesota, where they had lived until moving to Colorado two years ago. She had talked about wanting to move back.

What drives a parent to kill a child?

Experts point to a variety of reasons, a key one being mental illness

‘Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their own mothers captures our horrified attention is because it is so rare.’

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every day, Stephanie Schmalz drives by Highlands Ranch on C-470 from her home in Morrison to her job in Lone Tree.

So when she learned in November that Jennifer Laber, a Highlands Ranch mother, had killed her two young sons and then herself, the tragedy stayed with her. It moved her to post a message on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page called Word of Mouth: “I didn’t know these kids. I didn’t know this mom. I do, however, know this mom’s heart. She was likely depressed, overwhelmed, feeling worthless, not measuring up to standards that she thought others have set for her — that the world has set for her.”

Her post received more than 600 likes and dozens of comments thanking Schmalz, a mother of three, for her words and extending compassion for the family involved.

“I feel like what I wrote is what people think about but don’t say,” Schmalz said. “It takes a village to raise kids — it takes a village to raise a family.”

Randi Smith, psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver

Variety of reasons for ‘rare’ occurrence The Laber tragedy — followed two months later by a similar case involving another Highlands Ranch mother and her 10-year-old daughter — generated an outpouring on social media of compassion, shock and disbelief.

Many comments came from women, who although not in any way condoning — or understanding — the killings, expressed empathy for mothers who are struggling with stressors of everyday life or a mental illness such as depression.

The resounding questions became: How could this happen? Why the kids?

Even among mental health and forensic experts, there is no clear answer.

According to a 2014 study by Brown University in Rhode Island, over the past three decades U.S. parents have committed filicide — the act of a parent killing his or her child — about 500 times every year. Seventy-two percent of the children killed were age 6 or younger. One-third were infants.

Ten percent of children killed were between 7 and 18 years old.

When a parent also kills himself or herself, the act is referred to as filicidesuicide.

Filicide is rare: About 74 million children from infancy to 17 years old live in the United States, according to the U.S. Census. The average number of filicide cases has stayed at about 500 a year for

He called the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office at about 8 p.m. Deputies came to his house, took down information and sifted through credit card transactions. The Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun that Jennifer had purchased earlier that day had not yet shown up.

Laber went to bed at about midnight. He slept, somehow knowing he would need energy for the next day.

He awoke at 5:30 a.m., and soon after, a neighbor called, asking if he had seen the news. Police had discovered three bodies in a van near the old Sports Authority in Lone Tree. Helicopters circled over the scene.

Laber immediately called the sheriff ’s department. He was told there wasn’t enough information yet.

“That was code for ‘we are worried about you hurting yourself and we are not going to tell you anything,’ ” Laber remembers thinking. “That’s when it sunk in.”

Four months later, Laber still doesn’t understand what went wrong. Friends and family of Jennifer didn’t see signs. Her behavior hadn’t changed. Looking back, Laber believes that she had been planning her suicide for months and reached a point of calm in knowing her life would soon end.

The sorrow is overwhelming. But, he

After the tragic loss of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber passed out blue stones at a celebration of life gathering at O’Brien Park in Parker on Dec. 3. His sons loved to treasure hunt, he said, especially for blue gemstones in the backyard.

ALEX DEWIND says, he is not angry: His wife was ill.

Ryan and Jennifer met in Minnesota, where they both grew up. Ryan, 26 at the time, was out to dinner with work clients at a restaurant. Jennifer, then 24, was at the same restaurant with friends. They met, dated for two years and married in September 2005.

Shortly after, Jennifer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression, Laber says. She was hospitalized more than once in her late 20s following a suicide attempt.

It was the first time Laber had ex-

perienced mental illness in someone close to him. And, at first, it angered him, coming so soon after their marriage. One time, after visiting her, he pounded so hard on the armrest in his two-door sports car that it broke.

“It was at that point in time that I recognized that I couldn’t sit there and tolerate it,” he says. “I had to do something differently.”

Laber reached out to his pastor, who coached him into redirecting his anger. He started going to therapy with Jennifer and attending classes to learn about mental illness.

Eventually, Jennifer learned to manage the depression and bipolar

the past 30 years, though the population of the country has grown.

According to Randi Smith, a psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver, when parents cause their children’s deaths it’s more likely to be accidental or, in some cases, part of an ongoing pattern of child abuse.

“Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their 1 own mothers captures our horrified at- a tention is because it is so rare,” Smith e said.

Reasons for filicide range from murders committed out of “love” — described as altruistic killings — to child abuse and neglect, but mental illness often stands at the forefront.

That’s especially true in cases of the killing of a toddler or adolescent, who has formed an attachment with the parent, said Phillip Resnick, an internationally known forensic h psychiatrist and professor c at Case Western Reserve i University in Ohio.

“Killing children once i their role is established i in the family would be an J Resnick extreme measure,” said v g Resnick, who has studa ied filicide for 50 years. “It wouldn’t be done casually or incidentally — it t would require some extreme forces p coming together.” c p SEE PARENTS, P10

disorder with medication and lifestyle changes. The couple felt stable enough to think about starting a family and Ethan and Adam were born a few years later.

“We reached a point, years ago,” Laber told mourners at a Dec. 2 vigil, “where the darkness had subsided for a family to be born.”

The family’s move to Colorado was prompted by a job opportunity for Laber at Arrow Electronics. Though they were leaving close friends and family, Laber and Jennifer saw it as a fresh start.

The family moved to an apartment in Parker before settling in a home in a kid-friendly cul-de-sac neighborhood of Highlands Ranch.

Life was easy, simple, with a happy flow from day to day.

Laber made it home for dinner every weeknight. He and his sons loved to wrestle. He and Jennifer took turns cooking.

On Saturdays, Laber woke up with the boys while Jennifer slept in. They made chocolate chip pancakes. Saturday nights, the four of them went out to dinner, then came home to watch movies on the couch. It was a family ritual.

Jennifer was kind and caring with the boys, consistent about teaching them good manners. A vegetarian, she encouraged the boys to eat healthy. She instilled a love for cuddling.

‘Grief is unique — there is no one-box-fits-all’ Therapist talks about importance of working through grieving process

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Linda Coughlin Brooks lost her 17-year-old daughter nearly 20 years ago, when she died unexpectedly from epilepsy in her sleep.

Brooks, a therapist who knows the grieving process all too well, has since dedicated her life to helping others.

“I help someone who doesn’t know if they want to live or die,” said Brooks, sitting in her Greenwood Village Brooks office. Photos honoring her patients’ loved ones who have died cover the walls. “I help them reengage in life.”

A former nurse of 37 years, Brooks is certified in death and grief studies. In her private practice, the Grief Journey, she provides care for individuals and families experiencing grief, loss and life transitions, such as a divorce.

She also serves as the regional director of Compassionate Friends, a nonprofit organization with more than 700 chapters across the United States for parents who have lost a child.

MANY EXPERIENCE MENTAL ILLNESS

WHERE TO FIND HELP

One in five adults nationwide experiences a mental illness, according to the National Association of Mental Illness. One in 25 lives with a more serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Half of all chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 — three-quarters by the age of 24, the association reports.

About 2.6 percent of adults live with bipolar disorder. And almost 7 percent of American adults live with major depression, the leading cause of disability worldwide, the National Institute of Mental Health reports.

Nearly 60 percent of adults with a mental illness didn’t receive mental health services in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has found.

Research says that individuals experience grief in five stages: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But Brooks said that grief is not linear — the experience is different for every individual.

She saw a patient one time for the loss of a dog, a companion. She saw a patient for nearly two years for the loss of a mother.

“Grief is unique,” she said. “There is no one-box-fits-all.”

He sees the boys’ playset in the backyard, the toys in their rooms and the clothes in their closets. Jennifer’s clothes hang in his closet. Her jewelry box rests on the dresser. A pan inscribed with Laber and Jennifer’s names sits in the kitchen.

To honor them and be reminded always, Laber printed and hung photos of Jennifer, Adam and Ethan all over the house. Everywhere he looked,

One day, he opened their urns, wanting to touch their ashes. Overcome with emotion, he collapsed. Mentally and physically exhausted, he stayed on the couch for the rest of the day.

Often, phone calls and check-ins from family members and friends become less frequent as time goes on, as life goes on. But mourning loss is not a journey that an individual can do on his or her own, Brooks said. It requires a safe environment where the individual can honor and work through his or her grief.

In her practice, Brooks listens, normalizes the feelings associated with grief, such as anger, regret and

GRIEF “She wanted nothing but for Ethan and Adam to have a mother they could depend on, a mother that felt well,” Laber recounted at the Dec. 6 memorial service for Jennifer and the boys. “In her mind, they deserved the utopia each of them had brought to our lives.”

Ethan would seek out the kid on the playground who was alone and play with him or her. Adam, big for his age, was a defender of people. Though he was two years younger than Ethan, they weighed the same. Their favorite activity was treasure hunting for the blue glass gems the family hid in the backyard.

Everything seemed to be going the right way for a young family, Laber says.

They kept in contact with friends and family in Minnesota. They had a decent home, great neighbors, good schools.

These days, when he has the energy, he spends a couple of hours sorting through his family’s belongings. A friend who lost a loved one told him to take down some of the photos on the walls, so he did, and it helped.

In his grieving, Laber has connected with others who have lost a child, a spouse, a close friend.

But he finds his situation is different: “I lost all of them. It’s not like I could even be grateful for something that was still left.”

The faith community, friends, family and coworkers have helped him on his road to healing, he says.

Pastors from four churches reached out to him — he has relied heavily on his faith.

People flooded his Facebook and mailbox with messages

and letters. Neighbors, family and friends have continually been by his side. He sees medical professionals and attends support groups to help him cope.

He could have shut out the world, Laber says, but he knew that would have led him to depression.

Instead, he lets the grief pass through him, following the path of others who have experienced a devastating loss.

“I invited them all in to share with me where they found the footholds,” he says. “I take different pieces from what I understand from different people.”

Laber is unsure if he will stay in his house. Once a place of memories, he says, it is becoming a house of ghosts.

He knows he will never let go of Adam, Ethan and Jennifer.

To remember Jennifer, he would like to join forces with an existing statewide organization on suicide prevention.

To honor his boys, he would like to work with an organization for parents who have lost children.

The future remains too murky to see.

But he is certain of one thing: He would like, someday, to be a husband and father again.

PARENTS

chologist at the University of Denver, cited a variety of reasons for filicide, including an “end-ofthe-world” psychosis, when a parent feels that he or she is trying to spare their child from what is to come.

Postpartum depression, a hormonal imbalKarson ance that can affect new mothers following childbirth, can be a cause in rare instances, Karson said.

In instances of postpartum psychosis, the mother most likely has a history of bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder, a mental disorder characterized by symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, according to a 2016 report of filicide in the United States authored by Resnick and published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry.

That was the case for Andrea Yates, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2001 drowning of her five children. The Texas woman reportedly experienced severe postpartum depression and psychosis. She is now in a state mental hospital.

Postpartum psychosis occurs in about one out of 1,000 new mothers, as opposed to the two or three out of 100 new mothers who might experience postpartum depression, a common and treatable malady, Resnick said. But, he emphasized, “most people with postpartum de-

FROM PAGE 8

In a 2005 study of 30 filicide-suicide cases published by the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law — written

by Resnick and four other authors — 70 percent of the motives were identified as murders committed out of “love” to relieve the real or imagined suffering of the child.

The second most prevalent reason was acute psychosis, such as schizophrenia, which can cause delusions.

That was the case for LaShuan Harris, a 23-year-old who, in 2005, dropped her three boys, ages 6, 2 and 16 months, into San Francisco Bay. Harris, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, believed she was listening to God and sending her children to heaven. She was found criminally insane and sentenced to a psychiatric hospital.

Other motives of filicide have included mistreatment, such as child abuse resulting in death; having an unwanted child; and revenge against a spouse.

In March, a Chicago father shot and killed his twin daughters. According to national media outlets, police dispatch heard the father tell his wife he wanted her to live and suffer before shooting her in the leg — she survived — and then shooting and killing himself.

Michael Karson, a clinical psy-

pression don’t go on to harm their child or commit suicide.”

In some altruistic filicide cases, the report in the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law says, the parent was depressed and considered the children’s deaths as extended suicides rather than homicides.

The study found that parents who killed their children and themselves overall appeared to have high rates of mental illness.

Smith echoed that finding.

Filicide-suicide scenarios, such as the two recent cases involving mothers and their children in Highlands Ranch, she said, usually occur in the midst of a deep depression with psychotic features or in the midst of a bipolar episode.

After the death of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber publicly spoke of his wife’s battle with depression and bipolar disorder. Jennifer Laber, 38, was diagnosed in her mid20s after a suicide attempt, he said.

Her autopsy revealed that she had bipolar-disorder medication in her system at the time of her death.

According to the police report, Cristi Benavides, 40, the Highlands Ranch woman who was found dead with her daughter, Emma, in February, had a history of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.

‘Things pass, things get better’ How to prevent such tragedies is the challenge.

World Psychiatry, an office

journal of the World Psychiatric Association, suggests that psychiatrists should assess filicide risk in a systematic way, as they do for suicide, by asking questions about childrearing practices, parenting problems and feelings of being overwhelmed — and then provide steps to ensure the safety of all involved.

And although many resources exist for those contemplating suicide, Karson wonders whether a parent thinking of filicide would admit to those thoughts.

“How,” he asked, “can we arrange a world in which a person in that situation would tell someone?”

Several mental health and education experts also say establishing connections for parents to community and the support that can be found there — whether personal or professional — is key.

“Many people can profit from talking with mental health care professionals, experiencing support and seeing how to change situations so that they can manage stress more productively,” said Judith Fox, associate professor of the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology.

Psychology experts agree that in many filicide-suicide cases the parent acts on impulse.

“Things pass, things get better,” Karson said. “All the lost opportunities — if they could just get past that impulse.”

Tuesday night (April 18), the results of that survey were shared at a Board of Education meeting. I knew that the pay and evaluation structures created by district administrators were controversial, but I was shocked to learn what a low opinion our professional educators had of them.

media. There was compassion for all involved. But there also was shock and disbelief: Why would a parent kill his or her child?

Because the tragedies occurred in such proximity to each other, and because one of our communities was struggling with the ensuing grief, we thought it important to try to understand why this happened and to put these cases in context of issues surrounding them. Those stories are packaged as a special report in this week’s editions, on our communities’ websites and at coloradocommunitymedia.com.

On Nov. 30, Jennifer Laber was found dead with her two sons, ages 3 and 5, in the family minivan outside a closed Sports Authority.

Just two months later, on Jan. 30, Cristi Benavides and her 10-year-old daughter were found dead in the basement of a home.

In both instances, law enforcement authorities determined the mothers had killed their children, and then themselves. Both families lived in the Douglas County community of Highlands Ranch, one of the more than 20 towns, cities and counties that Colorado Community Media covers.

The tragedies devastated family members, neighbors and school communities and generated an outpouring of comments on social

little to no experience in education. Perhaps this is why 83 percent of our licensed teachers do not believe that the pay structure the district created retains and attracts quality employees to Douglas County. Since 2010, I have watched many, many teachers and building administrators leave our county for greener pastures. More are leaving this year.

It’s past time for us to address the problems in our school district — starting with respect and adequate pay for our teachers!

here is nothing like a good joke or very clever story that captivates us and then makes us laugh or think WINNING a little deeper based on the WORDS punch line.

The timing and delivery of the joke or story and the punch line itself are both very important to the success of the Michael Norton joke or story and how it is received.

As we watch in horror sometimes at what is happening locally and globally, I’ll bet there are people out there like me who are still waiting for that “punch line” to be delivered.

But sadly and unfortunately, the punch line never comes, and as a matter of fact, typically the story, or what we thought might have been a prank or joke only gets worse and results in intended or unintended tragedy. Sorry, no punch line here.

Charter process needs a review I sat on the Douglas County School District Charter Application Review Team as a parent volunteer for three straight years, ending just last year, and not once did I hear that there was student competition for seats. Thus, this new insight — as reported in this newspaper several weeks ago — affects both current charters and public

And we do this because although we live amongst the chaos and situations where we have no control or where we have not participated in any way shape or form, we look for the punch line or good news turnaround because we live with hope. The goal is that the majority of the hopeful will be able to bring back the hopeless from the brink of stunned disbelief and hopelessness.

There was an episode of the television show “Seinfeld” where Jerry and George are on a double date.

George asks Jerry not to be funny so that his date would not find Jerry attractive. Jerry pouts most of the evening, comes across as dark and

depressed and then he makes this statement when asked why he was so sad, “There is just too much sadness in the world to be happy.” Obviously this was a sitcom and that line was intended as a punch line or comedic statement.

Our world is filled with very sad and serious situations; they are not laughing matters at all. To fix them or attempt to fix them we have to balance our fear, anger, anxiety, and angst with hope and encouragement, love and kindness, love and forgiveness. Not tolerance and not political correctness, but hope and encouragement, love and kindness, and love and forgiveness.

So how about you, are you waiting in stunned disbelief and for somehow some way a punch line will bring closure to a sad or tragic event, or have you figured out how to filter the noise and news in such a way where you can live with hope, encouragement, and love? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can rise above the hopelessness by living with hope, it really will be a better than good week.

schools in the district.

The intent of the 1993 Charter School Act is not being carried out by many of the charter school applications. The district canceled charter school bus transportation last year, effectively limiting choice. There is no charter school student exit data and if the student returns to their home school after the October count date, the home school receives no money and must admit the student. If all the accepted applications begin by next fall, the district will have the highest number of charters in Colorado.

The timing of the report requested by the board to examine the impact of charters is questionable and will not affect this year’s application process. The district needs to get a better plan in certain areas than simply using charters to absorb student count changes.

Maybe it is time to stop the current application process until the board members have a completed report and specific policy to which they all adhere.

OUR VIEW FROM PAGE 12

Reporter Alex DeWind spent weeks researching and reporting to find answers to the why. She found that the act of a parent killing his or her child is rare. And that the reasons are varied, but that mental illness is at the forefront. In both of these instances, family members and law enforcement say depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder were present.

To ensure we presented this sensitive topic appropriately, we followed the media resource guide compiled by the World Health Organization and the International Association for Suicide Prevention to help journalists cover suicide, along with other guidelines for reporting on homicides.

We worked not to sensationalize the stories, to explain in context the reasons that could lead to these tragedies and to find sources with knowledge and authority on the issue. We hope the stories spotlight the importance of public community discussion on mental illness and the need for support systems. Also,

a sidebar provides information on resources for grief and mental health support.

Finally, when Ryan Laber shared with us the story of his family and his experience with devastating grief, we committed to him that it would be told with great care, compassion and respect.

Journalistic ethics guidelines call on us to minimize harm in the telling of truth. We do that by treating our sources as human beings who deserve our respect and compassion, particularly in circumstances such as these. And to ensure Mr. Laber did not incur any more harm because of our story, we made an exception to our guideline that does not allow sources to read articles before publication.

We are conscious of the privilege of telling his story. We wanted to make sure we got it right.

We realize these stories may be uncomfortable to read. Our hope is that they bring some understanding of not only the consequences for those left behind but also what can lead to these kinds of tragedies.

As one mother said: “It takes a village to raise a family.”

In the broader sense, a community is a family. We must take care of each other.

New hospital expected to bring more services, jobs to the community UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital is scheduled to open in early 2019

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The hospital being built in Highlands Ranch’s Central Park development will offer a Level III trauma center and a specialized focus on oncology, orthopedic and women’s services, including a birthing center and neonatal intensive-care unit.

Details about the UCHealth 77-bed hospital, which broke ground in January and is slated for completion in January 2019, were presented by UCHealth officials April 19 at a Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

The 340,000-square-foot hospital campus will cover the southeast parcel of the 100-acre development known as Central Park, which sits east of Lucent Boulevard, west of Barrons Boulevard and north of Town Center.

Surrounding the hospital’s six-story patient tower will be a healing garden for patients, a medical office building, parking decks and space for expansion. The rest of the Central Park development, owned by Shea Properties, will have 200 single-family homes, a regional park, a communication tower for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and retail, recreation and commercial buildings.

The hospital will be the “anchor of the area,” chamber president Andrea LaRew said at the luncheon, held at the Hilton Garden Inn on Plaza Drive.

UCHealth determined that Highlands Ranch was an optimal location

This artist’s rendering shows the new hospital expected to be completed in 2019 at Central Park in Highlands Ranch. based on demographics and the population growth of surrounding areas, said Diane Cookson, president of UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital.

The population of Douglas County grew from 285,465 people in 2010 to 322,387 residents in 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Sterling Ranch, a large community under construction east of Highlands Ranch, is expected to bring more than 30,000 people in the next 20 years.

But Cookson raised concerns about transportation for low-wage employees who cannot afford housing in Highlands Ranch. She said she hopes to work with other businesses and organizations in the community, such as Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Regional Transportation

The Tri-Lakes Women’s Club

District, to look at options, one of which could be utilizing a shuttle from the light rail station on Mineral Avenue to the hospital campus.

The hospital also will provide 500 to 600 construction jobs and 400 new, permanent jobs once it is completed.

Outside physicians will be able to apply for hospital privileges or the use of facilities and equipment.

Besides the Level III trauma center — which provides 24-hour coverage by emergency physicians, prompt availability of general surgeons and anesthesiologists and transfer agreements for patients who need more comprehensive care — the hospital will have primary care, operating rooms, advanced cardiac services and a 24-hour outpatient pharmacy.

At the forefront of services will be

women’s, oncology and orthopedic, Cookson said. The hospital will be equipped with a birthing center, postpartum beds, a neonatal intensive-care unit, complete imaging services and a cancer center.

The cancer center will offer multidisciplinary care for its patients, meaning the patient will receive opinions from his or her different doctors in one room, at one time, without having to travel to other medical campuses.

“It takes a team-focused on the patient to get the optimal response,” said Thomas Purcell, the hospital’s medical oncologist and chief medical officer.

Patients will also have access to National Cancer Institute Clinical research trials, Purcell said.

office space in town. They hope the event space will generate revenue from visitor traffic, and the offices will attract primary employers. Getting rid of the dump was also a big selling point.

“For me,” District 7 Councilmember Brett Ford said, “I see this as not just one project, but the opening of multiple, multiple benefits.”

“We have spent hours on this,” District 6 Councilmember George Teal said. “This is something that we’ve really gone over.”

Miller’s Landing also had support from the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Council, both of which believe the project will be a catalyst for Castle Rock.

“We sincerely appreciate the hard work of town council, town staff and Castle Rock Economic Development Council to make this partnership a success,” Shawn Temple, managing director of P3 Advisors, said in a news release. “We look forward to many more exciting announcements for Castle Rock and Miller’s Landing in the very near future.”

Development could bring thousands of homes to Castle Pines point isn’t yet available, the development will likely include houses ranging from starter homes fit for millennials to more luxury-style properties, Pachner said. There is also a dedicated school site in phase one of the project.

“We certainly have to allow for all buyers and price points to enter the market,” he said.

As for the look and feel of the community, Pachner said incorporating nature into the plans is “the primary guiding principle for the site.”

About a third of the 1,270 acres will remain open space, he said. Shea will also incorporate numerous parks and roughly 15 miles of trails.

With views of the reservoir to the north, Pikes Peak to the south and the Front Range to the west, Pachner said Shea Homes will create a “naturally breathtaking but amenity-rich community.”

The connection to nature will likely influence the style of homes found in The Canyons as well, Pachner said.

Although specific design plans are still

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Pines officials are working with developer Shea Homes on the master plan for a new neighborhood known as The Canyons, which could mean the addition of about 2,000 new homes to the city of 10,500 people.

The development is planned east of Interstate 25 and just south of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir.

Marcus Pachner, spokesman for Shea Homes, said the company is tentatively planning a two-phase project, with the first phase covering 650 acres and bringing 1,100 homes to the site.

Upon total project build-out, that number could rise to approximately 2,000 single and multi-family homes.

When Shea purchased 1,270 acres of The Canyons in 2015, the company said it intends to invest $75 million in the community within the next four years.

Construction is planned for early 2019, and homes could be ready for move-in by late 2019. Although a price

 

in flux, Shea is considering ranch-style homes that focus on main-floor living.

“So, it’s (nature) really inspiring every level of the community,” Pachner said, adding the overlying goal is to bring more faces to Castle Pines.

“We’re bringing in new residents that will support existing businesses.”

That’s good news to business owners and residents like Andrew Dunbar, owner of Castle Pines Orthodontics.

The orthodontist has operated his practice in Castle Pines for 15 years. He moved his family to town in 2002.

As a resident, he said, he’s somewhat concerned about the increase in traffic, but that was the only negative he found with the project proposal. But he anticipates some who call Castle Pines home will be unhappy with the results of a rising population, such as longer lines at the grocery store or stoplights.

Still, he believes the “sleepy, smalltown” feel will stay intact, and that the new neighborhood will do more good than not for small businesses.

“Once those news residents come,

I think it’s really going to change things,” he said.

Castle Pines Director of Development Sam Bishop said the city is attracted to the nature-based development plan.

“It’s going to bring additional opportunities as far as recreation,” he said.

For now, the city is focusing on making sure the infrastructure would be in place for such a big community as the two entities collaborate on the project in 2017.

If all goes well, he said, the project could come before the city council for review by mid-summer.

Both Bishop and Pachner said the relationship between city and developer has been a good one. Overall, Pachner said, the master plan has taken Shea 16 to 18 months to create. Moving forward, they’ll take 2017 to work with the city and focus on the project’s preliminary plans.

“The city has very high standards,” Pachner said. “They are holding us accountable to that.”

Two Douglas County students falsely reported threats, authorities say Youths are facing misdemeanor charges after their arrest STAFF REPORT

Two Douglas County School District students were arrested April 20 — the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting — on suspicion of falsely reporting threats to authorities, according to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

The offense is a class three misdemeanor. One of the students was

also charged with interference of staff, faculty or students at an educational institution, which is a class one misdemeanor, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, which is a class four felony.

A sheriff ’s office spokeswoman said the students arrested are 14 and 17 years old and attend schools in “the Highlands Ranch area,” but she wouldn’t identify the schools.

A sheriff ’s office news release said the department has been investigating threats at multiple DCSD schools in recent days. Each rumored threat was fully investigated and determined non-credible.

It was during these investigations

that the sheriff ’s office learned students were falsely reporting threats against their schools in an attempt to shut down the schools on April 20, the 18th anniversary of the Columbine shooting in south Jefferson County, according to the sheriff ’s office.

“At this time, we’d like to remind parents to talk to their students about the seriousness of making false reports and participating in the spread of rumors,” the news release states. “If a student believes they have learned of a legitimate threat, please contact us or school staff immediately. No student will be punished for reporting information that they believe to be true.”

The school district issued a state-

ment the morning of April 21.

“The Douglas County School District appreciates the strong partnership we have with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, as well as the Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker police departments. We are fortunate to have programs like Safe2Tell and Text-aTip in place to allow for anonymous reporting of concerns or threats,” the statement reads. “We urge our students, staff, parents and community members to continue utilizing these programs as needed. When they are used appropriately, these programs are effective. Working together, we can continue to keep our students and staff safe.”

SURVEY

dents indicating they did not feel as though they were prepared for the next phase in life, saying they wished their schools had taught them more basic life skills, the board highlighted this as an area of concern.

Almost 70 percent of students said they want to be involved in helping design what they learn in class.

“We give a lot of support to our juniors and seniors, but I think our students are telling us they need that a few years earlier,” board of education Vice President Judith Reynolds said.

Board member David Ray agreed.

“That’s a fairly significant message for us in a district that says every student should be collegebound,” Ray said.

When it comes to retaining quality teachers, students are less concerned about teachers leaving than the community or their parents — just 18 percent indicated they were concerned.

FROM PAGE 4

The survey also found that community members without children feel more negative about the district than parents do.

Views about the district do seem to be trending more positively, Raines said. Those views included “a lot more positive comments about the new superintendent.”

Students When asked to rate the quality of their education in the district, 65 percent of students responded with “good” or “very good.”

Among parents, 67 percent responded that way.

“It’s the ultimate customer service question,” Raines said.

Overall, Corona found that students are having a very positive experience in Douglas County schools, but feel like they could be better equipped to move on to the real world after graduation. This was especially true of students who reported they did not plan on attending a four-year college or university.

According to the survey, 41 percent of seniors “strongly agree” that they feel ready for the next phase of life and 60 percent of seniors “strongly agree” that have a plan to achieve their goals after graduation.

With large numbers of stu-

Teachers/district employees The survey found that when it came to curriculum changes that took place under former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen — such as the Guaranteed Viable Curriculum, 21st century Skills and World Class Outcomes — the majority of employees generally supported the concepts but not how they were implemented.

“People really don’t know what guaranteed and viable curriculum or world-class outcomes

Help Wanted

are,” Raines said. “People are open to the concepts, they just don’t understand them enough to support it.”

In 2009, county residents elected school board members who voted for numerous reform policies over the next several years. The board hired Fagen in 2010.

Fagen left the district in the summer of 2016 to take the same position in Humble, Texas, near Houston. The board of education hired Erin Kane as interim superintendent at the start of the 2016-17 school year and recently extended her contract through the 2017-18 school year.

On the most contentious reforms was the implementation of a performance-based pay system.

Seventy percent of district employees either “somewhat disagree” or “strongly disagree” that the current pay system is fair and that it helps retain employees, attract employees or motivate employees to increase work quality.

More than 40 percent of employees said they feel that there’s more competition in the district than collaboration.

Only 20 percent said they believe there’s more collaboration than competition.

However, 60 percent of employees said they are proud to work at the district.

“The morale in the district is higher than it may seem,” Raines said.

Benefits, challenges of parents who teach their kids

HOME-SCHOOL PROGRAMS The Home School Connection offers group-setting classes for home-schooled children in grades kindergarten through sixth. Students may attend one class a week. Subjects include performing arts, creative writing, science and physical education. Locations are in Westminster, Lakewood and Evergreen.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ecause of her experience as a student in public schools, Ashley Maes decided to homeschool her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.

“When I was in school, I never felt challenged,” the Littleton resident said. “I was present in school but not participating, and I felt like I could do more for my children.”

She continues home schooling because of the freedom it provides — her family isn’t restricted to a school-day schedule and her kids can explore their passions and interests, Maes said.

Maes’ decision to home-school reflects a trend that has significantly grown over the past two decades.

In 1999, there were about 850,000 home-schooled students ages 5 through 17 in the United States, according to a household education survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. That number jumped to an estimated 1.1 million students in 2003 and an estimated 1.5 million students in 2007, the most recent year of the survey.

In Colorado, 7,659 students were registered with public school districts as home-schooled in 2016, up from 6,462 students in 2010, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

Douglas County School District currently has 509 home-schooled students, the district reports. In fall of 2016, according to records from the Colorado Department of Education, Jefferson County Public Schools had 436 home-schooled students and Adams 12 Five Star Schools had 313. All of the districts’ home-school counts have increased since 2010.

Families home-school for a number of reasons. Considered the most important are religious or moral instruction, concern about the school environment and dissatisfaction with academic instruction at other schools, the survey by the U.S. Department of Education reported.

Colleen Sprister, of Sedalia, wanted her four children, ages 7, 9, 11 and 13, to have a Christ-based education.

Private school was not in her family’s budget, so she and her husband decided to home-school.

Sprister’s children are enrolled in Classical Conversations, an international home-school program with an emphasis on classical learning and Christianity. They work in group settings one day a week with other

Two Roads is a K-12 charter school that offers home-school programs at its two campuses — 6980 Pierce St., Arvada, and 5890 Alkire St., Littleton. Home-school students are required to take a minimum of 6.25 hours of classes per week on campus.

The Academy Charter School, based in Castle Rock, offers a home-school program with curriculum, lessons and classes for homeschooled students in Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker. The program is tuition-free with a small cost for materials.

FAST FACTS Home school programs must have no less than 172 days of instruction, averaging four hours a day.

Colleen Sprister, a resident of Sedalia, home-schools her four children, ages 7, 9, 11 and 13. She made the decision because she wanted her kids to have a Christ-based education. “I get to see my kids through the good and the struggles every day ,” she said, “and we get to work through it as a family.”

The other four days, they work on assignments at home.

Her kids also participate in recreational activities, such as gymnastics and football, and work on their family’s small-scale farm.

Home schooling has strengthened the relationship of her family, Sprister said.

“I get to see my kids through the good, the struggles, every day, and we get to work through it as a family,” she said.

Like Classical Conversations, many resources provide curriculum for families who home-school. Programs are offered online or as an extension of a public or charter school. Some are free; others have a fee for curriculum and material.

When a parent or legal guardian decides to home-school a child, they take on the responsibility for the student’s education, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

That includes providing curriculum, books, supplies and tests and maintaining permanent records. That also includes making sure the student has at least 172 days of instruction a year in basic subjects, such as reading, writing, math, history, science and others.

For Maes, taking on the role of a teacher has been challenging. Keeping her kids focused and interested can be difficult, she said.

“It’s hard being with your kids all the time and getting them motivated,” Maes said. “Because you’re Mom, they feel like they can argue with you.”

Another challenge that some homeschool families face is being labeled with stereotypes, such as socially awkward or sheltered.

Maes had concerns about socialization when she first started homeschooling her children, she said. But she no longer worries about that. Her children interact with others when they are out running errands. They play with kids in their neighborhood,

Students in a home-school program must have academic progress evaluated in grades 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

Home schooling is considered nonpublic and is not regulated by the state of Colorado. The parent who oversees the homeschool program is responsible for obtaining and paying for books, supplies and tests.

Home-school resources vary because programs can be purchased from private companies or the parent or guardian can create the curriculum.

Source: Colorado Department of Education kids on their sports teams and students at the charter school they attend one day a week.

“I used to be terrified that they would be hermits,” Maes said. “They are learning to interact with a variety of age groups.”

Maes isn’t sure if she will homeschool her children through high school. She is taking it year by year.

For now, the positives outweigh the negatives.

“The relationship I am developing with them is different,” Maes said, “and I’m treasuring that because I won’t get that time back.”

Spending the summer with live music

I

f there’s a better part of summer than music under the stars, I don’t know what it is.

Colorado has no shortage of picturesque LINER locations for summer concerts, NOTES and while everyone is well aware of places like Red Rocks, many more intimidate venues exist that provide a lovely setting for some classic acts.

The Denver Botanic Gardens, Clarke Reader Arvada Center and Hudson Gardens in Littleton have concert lineups that are shining jewels.

“What makes a good concert series is a mix of the new with the familiar,” said Barry Osborne, marketing manager with Swallow Hill Music, which puts on the concerts at the Botanic Gardens and Arvada Center. “We want these experiences to be like relaxing in your backyard, listening to

WHAT’S PLAYING? To find the Summer Stage Concert Series at The Arvada Center, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.SummerAtTheCenter.com.

To find the Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series, call 1-877-435-9849 or visit concerts.botanicgardens.org.

To find the Hudson Gardens & Event Summer Concert Series, visit www.altitudetickets. com. something you really love.”

The lineups at all three venues tend toward classic rock acts, with musicians like Three Dog Night coming to the Arvada Center, Joan Jett, Firefall and Yes heading to Hudson, and Stephen Stills, Judy Collins and Randy Newman performing at the Botanic Gardens.

“People are really excited about Stills and Collins, particularly because Collins is a Colorado musician,” Osborne said. “Newman is such a great songwriter. I think it will be really interesting to see

how he balances his deep, sarcastic songs with his popular movie songs.”

Blues wizards are always fantastic performers, and this summer offers a mix of old hands and the new guard performing.

The Robert Cray Band and Jonny Lang will be stopping by Arvada, Littleton will host The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and the Botanic Gardens hosts blues god Buddy Guy and a special coheadlining performance with Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’.

“The Taj Mo’ show is going to be really special, because they’re in such high demand as solo artists,” Osborne said. “They’re well-known friends, and seeing them together will reinvent the way they approach their music.”

Among the three venues, all your stylistic bases are covered. A fan of country and bluegrass? Clint Black and The Punch Brothers are heading your way.

More of a jazz fan? You can’t miss Herbie Hancock and Béla Fleck & The Flecktones and The Chick

Corea Elektric Band.

For pop lovers, The B-52s, Michael McDonald, Loverboy and Survivor will all be in town.

And if your leanings take you off the beaten path, José González and Dweezil Zappa playing years of his father’s music will more than serve.

As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. So I encourage you to check out one of these venues and see someone you’ve always been curious or have heard good things about.

“We’ve got the whole summer ahead,” Osborne said, “and we’re really excited about it.”

Me, too.

Kids will be intrigued by the large sword included in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science “Vikings: Beyond the Legend” exhibit.

‘Vikings: Beyond the Legend’ sails into Denver museum Collection of artifacts helps shine light on ancient lifestyles

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The setting is Scandinavia about 750 to 1100 CE. “Vikings: Beyond the Legend,” the exhibit that arrived in March at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, does much to contradict the myths about big hairy barbarians with horns on their helmets — an image which was probably developed by Victorian artists’ dramatic depictions.

The large collection of artifacts will include a heavy sword and exhibits about boats used by these skilled mariners, but no helmets with horns. They were active merchants throughout Europe and farther afield.

Finely wrought crafts are displayed, along with evidences of a farmer’s life — the primary focus of those people.

Two replica boats, named Arby and Eik Sande, are built in traditional style, with techniques of the time.

Not a nationality, “Viking” meant going out trading as well as raiding, and the exhibit encompasses Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, who almost certainly crossed paths as they traveled. They ranged to Greenland and Iceland.

Slave trade was active over a large area of their world and trading in assorted goods occupied many men, while women ran the small farms, with help from children.

Men and women were basically farmers, who grew crops and raised livestock. Extended families lived

In a pretty pickle in Parker

April 27, 2017A

Pickleball provides area seniors competition, community

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kirby Fisher moved to Parker two years ago, he was afraid he would have to give up a sport he discovered in Michigan. A sport he spent three years learning, playing, and loving.

“I came here and found out the city had all this great pickleball stuff,” Fisher says, referring to the Parker Fieldhouse’s weekday morning dropin games. “We lucked out … Six courts, lots of court time. It’s all good here.”

According to many of the regular players at the fieldhouse, pickleball is the fastest-growing sport for adults over 50 in the United States. Or North America. Or the world.

What’s beyond question is how much pickleball players, most of them seniors, love the sport.

“It’s a combination of ping-pong, tennis and badminton,” says Parker resident and ex-recreational tennis player Dick Barton. “A lot of people are skeptical of it, they just don’t think you can have the same level of activity that you do” with tennis.

“In some respects it’s faster because

you’re closer,” he adds.

The only equipment needed is a plastic ball, similar to a wiffle ball but slightly harder to allow for more bounce, and a wooden or composite paddle, a bit smaller than those used for racquetball. Courts are 20 feet wide and 44 feet long, with a 7-foot no-volley zone, called the “kitchen,” extending

from the net on both sides.

Parker Fieldhouse sports supervisor Bob Bullock says interest in pickleball, nationally and locally, is “monumental.” He remembers when he began hosting the games in 2010 and often had to join in just to make a foursome.

“We started out running it two days a week with one net,” he says. “Now we’re here all the time.”

On average, 45 players from Parker, Centennial, Aurora, Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch make it to the Fieldhouse every day, Bullock, says, with participation reaching 70 players on peak days.

Fisher and Bullock also coordinate “boot camps” to instruct newcomers to the game and guided play sessions to prepare them for the intermediate and advanced drop-in games. On July 29, the fieldhouse will host its first pickleball tournament.

As much as players enjoy the components of exercise and competition, many mention how much they enjoy the flexibility and the opportunity to socialize.

“I like that you can drop in and play at any time, whatever works with your schedule,” says Parker’s Kaye Rasmussen, pointing to a player she recently made a bridge date with.

“When you’re waiting to get out on the court you get to talk to people and meet people.

Games are open to players 18 and older, but it’s especially popular with

Bullock says he’s glad it gives them a place, and sport, to rally around.

He recalls a game he played against a 90-year-old opponent. At one point, he was leading 8-0.

He lost the game 11-8.

“It’s surprising how good of shape these seniors are in,” Bullock says.

“They’ve got to be.”

Student artists take awards in congressional contest Buck holds ceremony where winners are revealed

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On April 14, Congressman Ken Buck, R-Windsor, announced Alexis Garcia Moreno, a student at Greeley’s Northridge High School, as the winner of the Congressional Art Competition for the 4th Congressional District.

Five Douglas County student artists were also honored at the ceremony, hosted at the Centennial Library in Greeley.

“The students who participated in this competition give me optimism about our country’s future,” Buck stated. “The same patience, perseverance, and passion needed to create incredible works of art will allow these students to excel in the world.”

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982. This year, 97 students from 21 schools in the district submitted pieces in mediums including painting, drawing, mixed media, and photography. A panel of qualified artists judged the entries.

Douglas County students recognized at the event were: • First Place: Kayla Inman, Rock

Getting out and getting going Doctor offers tips on walking and running for fitness

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each spring, warm temperatures and an abundance of sunshine beckon Coloradans out of the house. Whether starting a workout regimen from scratch or just trying to get back to their pre-winter form, Dr. Kathy Vidlock of Colorado Orthopaedics in Lone Tree says the benefits of walking and running go beyond weight loss and physical fitness.

“Exercise of any kind is beneficial for people with depression and anxiety. It helps relieve stress and it helps regulate sleep patterns. It helps all people rest more easily at night,” Vidlock says.

“Walking is probably the most underrated form of exercise there is.”

Vidlock offers other words of advice to help walkers and runners of all shapes, ages and sizes get the safest and healthiest workout on the trails, sidewalks and shopping mall floors in the area.

Happy trails Vidlock says outdoor environments

like trails and sidewalks provide the best psychological benefit, but indoor environments like the mall are better suited for rainy or cold days. Trails are softer than sidewalks and better suited for people who are just starting out or have joint pain. Concrete sidewalks provide more stability for those starting a running regimen who may be at risk for falls.

Dress for success “Shoes can really help you or hurt you,” Vidlock says. She recommends going to a running or walking goods retailer to be fitted. Other recommendations are to wear layers of wicking fabric, material that draws perspiration away from the body, to prevent getting too hot during a run or walk, or getting damp and cold as the workout ends.

Get going A good goal for beginners is to work up to a routine of walking for 30 minutes at a time, three times a week.

Adding short bursts of intensity to the walk, which Vidlock describes as “a point where maintaining a conversation becomes difficult,” will maximize benefits to the heart and lungs. After establishing a routine, she recommends walking for nine minutes and running for one, then adding a minute of running and reducing a minute of walking each week.

Talk with your doc Vidlock recommends consulting your doctor to make sure you’re physically able to begin a walking or running regimen, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or lung problems. She also cautions individuals with musculoskeletal or joint instability to consult their physician before pounding the pavement.

Keep going “The first couple of weeks are always the hardest,” Vidlock says.

“If you know that there are going to be times when you don’t really feel like running, it will be easier for you to keep going.” She also advises inviting others to join in and reminding yourself of health benefits to stay motivated at first.

Maintaining a routine for four to six weeks makes it more likely it will become part of your lifestyle.

Treat yourself Rewards are a great way to motivate yourself to begin and maintain a walking or running routine, as long as the reward isn’t chocolate cake. Vidlock says other types of rewards, like a new pair of shoes or exercise equipment, can be just as motivating, and less self-defeating.

Steve and Tonia Smith of Colorado Springs go for a run to take in some scenery and get exercise. Dr. Kathy Vidlock of Colorado Orthopaedics recommends people try to walk for 30 minutes three times a week to get started on an exercise regimen.

ABOUT THIS SECTION Late spring and summer bring a wealth of activities and events to the Denver metro area.

Consider all of this: • Miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.

• State parks, including Roxborough, Chatfield and Cherry Creek.

• Annual family-friendly events that draw thousands of people. Those include Parker Days, Western Welcome Week, Buffalo Bill Days, the Arvada Harvest Festival, the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival and Westy Fest.

But sometimes — especially as the weather warms up and the days get longer — you just want to get out of town. Colorado has a multitude of welcoming destinations, and we explore some of them in this section.

Some of the destinations in this section are just on the outskirts of the metro area. One of those nearby spots is Estes Park, where you might see an elk or two and can stay at a worldfamous hotel.

If you want a longer road trip, consider Telluride. It’s about a sevenhour drive, but you’ll still be in the beautiful state of Colorado.

Maybe such a trip will become an annual tradition for your family, one to join the county fair outings and those long summer bike rides.

WHERE IS IT? Most Denver-area road trippers go west on I-70 to Glenwood Springs, then turn southeast on State Highway 82, altogether a trip of about four hours. In the summer, consider going through Leadville to Twin Lakes, then over stunning Independence Pass.

NEED TO KNOW: Though typically thought of as the domain of the jet set, Aspen’s got a lot to offer regular folk as well.

The free Aspen Art Museum, housed in a daring structure that looks a bit like a wicker basket, houses a bevy of striking pieces.

More adventurous visitors might consider a hike to Conundrum Hot Springs, a clothing-optional geothermal spring accessible by an eight-mile trail south of town.

PLACES TO GO written by David Gilbert

Aspen went through several incarnations before it became some of the most expensive real estate on the planet. Before World War II, Aspen’s population had dwindled to less than a thousand. In the 1970s, counterculture icons like Hunter S. Thompson and John Denver popularized Aspen as a funky, bohemian colony.

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

There are several gorgeous routes into Estes Park, though the most common is to take Highway 36 northwest out of Boulder. It’s about an hour and a half from Denver. The Peak to Peak Highway, a more scenic route, departs from Golden and goes through Nederland.

North of Denver on I-25 by about an hour and a half. If you hit the Wyoming border, you’ve gone too far – or you’re headed to buy fireworks.

NEED TO KNOW: There are few better jumping-off points to experience Colorado’s high alpine tundra during its brief summer than Estes Park. Trail Ridge Road, which traverses the crest of the Rockies through Rocky Mountain National Park, starts just outside of town. About 11 miles of the road are above timberline. The park is loaded with world-class hiking, views, wildlife and natural splendor.

Though quite a bit less remote than the 1980 horror movie “The Shining” made it out to be, the stately old Stanley Hotel offers late-night ghost tours to guests, though they are asked to refrain from hacking open doors with fire axes.

FUN FACT: For years, the death toll from the 1976 Big Thompson flood that swept through the canyon to the east of Estes was listed as 144, until in 2008, supposed victim Darrell Johnson was found to be alive and well, living in Oklahoma. It turned out he had decided to ditch a crummy cabin rental without telling anyone, and was presumed dead when the cabin was washed away.

NEED TO KNOW: Fort Collins teems with old-school charm, from the restored trolley that clatters between City Park and College Avenue to the quirky shops in Old Town. Stop at Walrus Ice Cream on Mountain Avenue for a root beer float made with Coopersmith’s Root Beer, or at the Silver Grill Café for gooey cinnamon roll French toast.

West of town, head up Poudre Canyon to see the strange folded granite of northern Colorado. The Mishawaka Amphitheatre holds concerts by the river all summer.

No visit would be complete without a tour of the New Belgium Brewery.

FUN FACT: Horsetooth Reservoir, on the west side of town, submerged the town of Stout when it was filled in 1949. Legend has it that the town’s old stone buildings are still standing deep beneath the surface.

NEED TO KNOW: Glenwood Springs has long been known for the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, a massive geothermal soaking pool alleged to have healing properties. Same with the Yampah Spa & Salon, featuring naturally occurring “vapor caves” filled with minerals that some say can cure a range of ailments.

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, largely perched atop a mountaintop at the edge of town, features zip lines, a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and giant swings that fling visitors over the abyss below.

Get someone else to drive on the way into town, so you can gawk at Glenwood Canyon.

FUN FACT: Doc Holliday, the Old West gunfighter, died in a Glenwood Springs hospital in 1887. Holliday had always figured he’d “die with his boots on,” and his last words – while looking at his bare feet – were “This is funny.”

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County residents may have seen displays of blue pinwheels throughout the county this month. The pinwheel gardens are part of a nationwide effort made by Pinwheels for Prevention, launched by Prevent Child Abuse America in 2008, which seeks to raise awareness for child abuse prevention.

Douglas County participated by placing 200 pinwheels outside the Douglas County Human Services Building in Castle Rock on April 17, plus additional pinwheels at the sheriff ’s office substation in Highlands Ranch. The county received 3,700 calls to its child abuse and neglect hotline in 2016, approximately the same as 2015, a county spokeswoman said.

“I’m glad that people are reporting but it’s unacceptable. We shouldn’t have any abuse,” Douglas County Commissioner David Weaver told county employees April 17. “Our children Pinwheels are used as the are tomorrow. These children are precious.” national symbol for child Photos by Jessica Gibbs abuse prevention.

Scott O'Neil and the Rosetta Music Society

On March 20-22, numerous organizations supporting people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) joined forces for the 2017 Disability Policy Seminar in Washington DC. The seminar offered an opportunity to come together with passionate advocates, self-advocates, experts, and professionals in the field to learn and discuss the key issues on Capitol Hill and make a powerful impact on Congress.

32 Coloradans were in attendance from 5 separate, integral organizations – Developmental Pathways, The Arc of Colorado and local chapters, JFK Partners, The Alliance, and the DD Council. This year, the seminar largely focused on health care and what the road ahead looks like for programs such as social security and Medicaid.

Organizations engaged in supporting people with I/DD believe in the importance of Medicaid dollars; they also believe in the integrity of the Medicaid program and want to see it continue to aid critical long term supports and deter at risk individuals from utilizing institutionalized care.

Arapahoe County and Douglas County have greatly shown they not only support individuals with I/DD or the loved ones that support them, but they also understand the ongoing funding crisis. In 2001, voters passed a referendum in both counties approving a mill levy that supports thousands annually.

Letting loose on a Friday night Adult therapeutic recreation dance rocks Parker Rec Center

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As they do once a month, Douglas County adults with special needs gathered at the Parker Recreation Center on April 14 to get down with their friends.

“The goal is just to get as many people as possible to come socialize and make friends, and improve their quality of life, and to let loose on a Friday night in a safe environment,” said Deni Jacobs, therapeutic programs director for Parker Recreation.

The therapeutic recreation dances are held 10 months a year on the second Friday for adults 18 and over with disabilities. Regular attendees know of the dances through their involvement with day recreation programs, Jacobs said.

The dances give them the opportunity to have fun with their friends and the chance to meet others who just drop in for the evening.

Funds for the parties come from a mill levy grant through the county, so attendees pay $5 for dancing, food and other entertainment, including a piñata and DJ. Nicole Augustine said she enjoyed the music and being with new people, while

Haley Johnson, left, reacts as her father Evan leads her under the limbo stick at the Parker Recreation Center on April 14. The dances take place on the second Friday of every month, giving participants the chance to interact socially and have fun together.

Jordan Kaiwi added that the dances give him a chance to be more open and relaxed.

“I’m having a blast, I’m having a good time,” Kaiwi, a Parker resident, said. “It gets me up and moving. It gets me dancing with my friends. It’s way easier than a job interview.”

Dancers raise the roof at the Adult TR Dance, hosted by the Parker Recreation Department, on April 14. The dances are funded partly through a grant from Douglas County and feature a DJ, dancing and food and games.

Valor Christian sophomore Eric Pacheco controls a faceoff against Ponderosa sophomore Andy Bauer during an April 11 game at Echo Park Automotive Stadium. Pacheco claims winning faceoffs in high school is about efficiency.

Faceoffs are where it all begins Techniques to gain possession have huge influence on outcome in boys lacrosse

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It might not look like a game of rockpaper-scissors when two players trot to the center of the field for a faceoff in boys lacrosse, but that’s a complicated form of what it is.

The player who has the better plan to counter the other player’s move and is able to execute usually is the winner.

SEE LACROSSE, P39

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES Basic moves used by players taking faceoffs in boys lacrosse.

before the opponent gains possession. The ball is usually raked away from the opposing faceoff specialist.

Clamp: A player using the clamp quickly moves his wrists over so the pocket of the lacrosse stick is clamped down on the ball before the opponent can do so.

Jam: The jam is a move where the stick is punched over the ball to block the opponent from any access. It is a defensive move to gain possession of the ball instead of creating a fast break.

Rake: The rake is when the player moves his stick under the jam

Jump: Used to counter almost any move by picking up the head of the stick and pushing it forward over the ball, with the stick usually under the stick of the opponent.

Punch: A move to counter the jump where the ball is punched with the stick forward to be scooped up.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Anna Hall, track, sophomore, Valor Christian: She won the 200 meters (25.29 seconds) and the 400 (56.41) at the Dakota Ridge Invitational on April 22. She was second in the 100 hurdles.

Pearl Schwartz, lacrosse, junior, Cherry Creek: Schwartz scored five goals and had two assists in the Bruins’ 14-5 win

over Arapahoe on April 19.

Cole Carman, baseball, senior, Arapahoe: He threw 87 pitches, struck out seven batters, allowed five hits and three earned runs in six innings in the Warriors’ 7-5 victory over Smoky Hill on April 21.

Jacob Dack, track, senior, Lutheran:

Dack was a double winner April 18 at the Holy Family Tiger Invitational. He was first in the discus (148 feet) and shot put (53-11).

Jack Lisowy, baseball, junior, Douglas County: The Huskies trimmed Heritage, 6-5, in eight innings on April 22 and Lisowy went 2-for-3 with a homer and had three runs batted in.

hile talking with Jack Huber, I could only think about how it takes a few steps to get everything working after sitting for a while and how things I used to be able to easily do are now harder.

And I’ve never had a major injury.

Jack Huber, a senior wrestler and football player at ThunderRidge, has undergone OVERTIME surgeries for injuries to his shoulder, knees and chest.

Despite pain plus long rehabilitation stints, he kept grinding and qualified for the state wrestling tournament three straight seasons.

He finished fifth at 182 Jim Benton pounds in the 2017 Class 5A tournament.

“The injuries started my sophomore year,” he said. “I had to decide if I wanted to keep doing this because of all the money spent for the surgeries, and it was painful. I decided to stick it out, one more year, one more time.”

Huber signed a letter of intent to wrestle at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo during an April 27 signing ceremony at ThunderRidge. He will join his brother Joe on the Mustangs’ wrestling team. Joe Huber was a 2015 Ponderosa High graduate.

“A year ago, I didn’t know if I would be able to wrestle,” Jack said. “I didn’t know with the surgery if it was going to work. I feel good now. I feel normal again.”

No mercy for boys volleyball bid Boys volleyball took a called third strike at the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council meeting on April 20.

The club-level Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association and the CHSAA-sanctioned Tri-Peaks League prepared a proposal requesting that boys volleyball be sanctioned as a two-classification spring sport.

But, for the third time in recent years, a bid to have the sport sanctioned was denied when 54 percent of the 72-member council voted to not even open the classification and League Organizing Committee report for consideration.

Also at the meeting, a mercy rule for all levels of boys and girls basketball was considered by the council and approved by a 59-11 vote. If a team has a 35-point lead after three quarters, a running clock will start and only stop for timeouts, injuries and free throws.

In hockey action, Chaparral and Woodland Park will be added as new teams for the 2017-18 season.

Former swim coach honored Former Littleton boys and girls swim coach Maurice “Stringy” Erwin will be one of six people inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

LACROSSE FROM PAGE 38

And winning faceoffs is crucial to a team’s success. Teams face off at the start of the game, the beginning of each quarter and after every goal is scored.

“Possession is a big part of the game,” Bear Creek coach Issac Nelson-Garner said.

A faceoff starts with two players crouched with their sticks lying horizontally on each side of the midfield line. The ball is place between the head of each stick and the butt-end pointing down the midfield line. Once the whistle is blown, each player fights for the ball in an effort to gain possession.

“Winning face offs is a mixture of power and speed,” ThunderRidge senior Brett Naves said. “If you’re faster than the other guy, you can win, but if you are stronger than the other guy, you can also win. So it’s kind of like a rock-paper-scissors match.”

Basic faceoff techniques include the clamp, jam and rake. The clamp can be neutralized by a jam. The rake usually loses to the clamp but the rake can beat the jam.

“I start with the clamp, but if I’m getting beat with a clamp I usually like to switch it up and try jumping him,” Ponderosa sophomore Andy Bauer said.

A jump is when a player holds down the stick of the opponent who has clamped. A player using the clamp quickly moves his wrists over so the back of the head is clamped down on the ball before the opponent. The jam is a move where the head and shaft are punched over the ball to block the opponent from any access. The rake is when the player moves his stick under the jam before it can disable him.

“You have to have the right body and special muscles. You need special reflexes and you need more shoulder power to press and you need good foot movement,” Wheat Ridge sophomore Tanner Spirek said.

But physical attributes just might be secondary.

“The most important quality for a faceoff player is competiveness,” Littleton coach Andrew Paredes said. “If that player has a refuse-tolose attitude, he will fight and scrap for every loose ball and win them more often than he loses them.”

The 53rd annual induction banquet, set for April 27 at the Denver City Marriott, is sold out and Erwin’s family and friends have reserved three tables to honor the longtime coach.

The three-sport letterman at Litteton was a Lions coach for 46 years. He coached baseball and

LEADING THE WAY The top boys faceoff percentage leaders from area schools, through games of April 20: • Nick Pacheco, Valor: .786 • Ryan Stewart, Cherry Creek: .780 • Brett Boos, Chaparral: .747 • Eric Pacheco, Valor: .722 • Mike Madayag, Golden: .719 • JT Simonton, Cherry Creek: .716 • Duke Hindman, Littleton: .713 •Shawn Casebolt, Lakewood: .694 • Alex Fielding, Heritage: .647 • Landon Nolta, Mountain Vista: .636 Paredes also points out that, as in hockey, other players need to be involved in gaining possession following a faceoff.

“An excellent faceoff unit can control the game for its team,” Parades said. “While the faceoff player himself is the central part of that unit, the three players combined really make a difference. There will be games when your faceoff player wins most of the balls himself.”

Good faceoff players are specialists and FOGO (faceoff and get off) has become a revered position.

Valor Christian sophomore Eric Pacheco is one of the state’s top faceoff specialists.

“At the high school level, everyone is really an elite faceoff guy,” said Eric Pacheco, whose senior brother Nick also takes faceoffs. “You are not really going to run into anyone with faster hands or quicker reaction time. It’s more about efficiency.

Nick and I really work to be efficient on faceoffs. We work on not having wasted movements and being technical.”

Chaparral junior Brett Boos is second in the state in winning faceoff percentage and leads in ground balls. But he also plays some as a defensive midfielder. In a recent game against Ponderosa, he won 15 of 19 faceoffs by pushing the ball downfield and picked up six ground balls.

“Quickness and strength are the keys to winning faceoffs,” he said.

“And ground balls help the team keep possession.”

A winning faceoff percentage can usually be traced to winning teams.

Once a team scores, wins a faceoff, keeps possession and has another chance to score, it often leads to scoring sprees.

“If you don’t have the ball,” Valor coach John Grant Jr. said, “you can’t score.”

Athletes honor local law enforcement Castle Rock baseball teams invite officers to throw game’s first pitch

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rival baseball teams from Castle View High School and Douglas County High School came together on April 17 to honor law enforcement officers and their service to Douglas County by inviting three officers to throw the game’s first pitch.

Castle View coach Jose Diaz said the coaches wanted to teach their players the importance of respecting law enforcement and the sacrifices the officers make in protecting the community.

“We need to honor these people. We want our kids to understand that they are here to serve us,” Diaz said. “On the other hand, we want them (law enforcement) to know our kids respect them.”

Sgt. William Caldwell with the Colorado State Patrol said the gesture by the baseball teams meant a lot to him.

“When these kids get to know us, they see that we’re human beings,” he said. “They don’t put us up on a pedestal.”

Caldwell said law enforcement’s purpose is to make sure people stay safe, and said the Colorado State Patrol has a great relationship with the community.

Diaz agreed, saying the event established respect and appreciation on both sides.

“And,” he said, “it created that openness and that trust.”

Officers recognized before the game were: • Detective Dan Brite of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office: Brite was critically injured in a September shooting when officers responded to a report of a suicidal man.

• Sgt. William Caldwell with the Colorado State Patrol: Caldwell has served as a supervising trooper in events that claimed the life of fellow troopers, most recently Trooper Cody Donahue who was killed in 2016 while

Huskies down Sabercats on the diamond Game starts with tribute to local officers

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle View’s baseball team honored three local law enforcement officers with a first-pitch ceremony prior to its Continental League game against crosstown rival Douglas County on April 17 at Double Angel Field in Parker.

Players from both teams took part in the ceremonies, organized by Castle View coach Jose Diaz, but once the game started it was Douglas County that imposed its way in a 6-2 win.

Douglas County junior left-hander Lucas DeGarmo, the league’s leading hitter coming into the game, protected a 2-0 Huskies’ lead and pitched a complete game for this third win of the season.

DeGarmo walked twice in the game and went 0-for-2 at the plate to see his batting average dip to .550, but he pitched well despite giving up eight hits to the Sabercats.

He walked two, struck out two and Castle View left six runners on base.

“He was the leading hitter coming in,” said Douglas County coach Craig Gienger.

“He’s been doing it all for us. I love his character and what he’s all about. When you give him the ball you know he’s going to give you courage on the mound.

“Castle View is a great ball team and they are one of the best hitting teams in

the state. They hit the ball, they just happened to hit the ball at us. Lucas did a great job of just staying composed, staying low in the zone and making those guys put it in play. We have a good defense and we talked about it all year that we can’t defend walks.”

Douglas County collected six hits off Sabercats starter Ryan Kelly and reliever Brandon Kemp, but three runners who walked and one that reached on an error forced by the setting sun wound up scoring.

Catcher Brock Johnson had half the Huskies’ hits as he went 3-for-3, reached base four times and drove in three runs.

Reggie Williams had a two-run double in the seventh inning.

“It was a great night,” said Johnson. “We came together just how Huskies are supposed to. Our coach talks a lot about being one unit, one team and I thought we did that tonight.

“We were just trying to win any way we could even though they outhit us. We just had guys pull through at the right time and we just got runs that way. It’s a big rivalry and it was good to get a win over them. They are a good hitting team, we just played hard and Lucas pitched his butt off for us.”

Diaz was perplexed after the loss.

“We hit the ball hard,” he pointed out.

“We had 14 hard-hit balls and 21 good swings. Then we had the ball in the sun and we could have got out of the third inning without giving up two runs. That’s baseball, I guess. I’m proud of my kids. We hit the ball hard but at people.”

SMITH

for some of them, it’s a calling and a career.

If a celebrity, for example, posts a photograph that can be found in any way to be objectionable, look out.

What I don’t understand are the disbelieving reactions when someone gets shamed.

This is America. It’s what we do.

Post almost anything and it’s a piñata for every imaginable configuration of insight and intelligence.

All people, deep down, are not good. There are busloads of the other kind.

Can you see Gandhi on a smartphone? Nope.

But if images of him in his khadi wrap were posted, it’s Katy bar the door.

FROM PAGE 12

graffiti. One post leads to another to another.

I think — it’s just a hunch — that we’re all fed up. We’re fed up and feeling helpless.

A nocturnal tweet is better than warm milk. Get something off your chest, and crawl in bed. At least you said something, even if you can’t do anything about it.

I limit myself to this column, which is plenty. I am not on social media. I was, briefly, and it was unpleasant.

There are trolls who shame, and

I don’t know why people continue to be so trusting. There may be some faith-based root in it that I don’t have.

Maybe teaching gave that to me.

Students turned on a dime, if they didn’t get the grade they wanted, or if they had an untoward agenda.

One anonymously wrote with a Sharpie on my office door. I was the problem, why she couldn’t draw. Not her inability to know which end of a pencil to sharpen.

Then she took to campus-wide emails.

Learning when to zip your lips is no longer being taught.

My alma mater is afflicted with someone who won’t shut up.

He has three sons, and they all play

basketball. He is embarrassing the school, his sons and himself, but he doesn’t care.

In fact, he is rolling around in his own comments like a backyard dog in its own scat.

The catch is that his sons are good, and the team wins, and in sports that’s what matters.

Dr. David Dao boarded a flight in Chicago. All he wanted to do was what we all want to do. Go home.

Not so fast, doctor.

An opinion is a judgment founded on probabilities. Or not.

Pursuant to C.R.S. §38-38-101 (4) (i), you are hereby notified that the covenants of the deed of trust have been violated as follows: Failure to pay principal and interest when due together with all other payments provided for in the Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust and other violations of the terms thereof.

THE LIEN FORECLOSED MAY NOT BE A FIRST LIEN. The property described herein is all of the property encumbered by the lien of the deed of trust.

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 21, 2017, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both.

However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
