MY NAME IS worked at the Sports Information Department … I’d do hockey stats, deliver press releases, drop off releases at both papers — the Rocky and Denver Post.

I thought I’d apply to University of Northern Colorado’s sports information director job (but they had hired someone else).

The Rocky, that was my first reporting job. They sent me everywhere.

I went to cover the Nuggets vs.

Detroit at the McNichols arena. It was just another game, I was told. It went triple overtime. It was the highestscoring game in NBA history … You never know what you’re getting into.

I was at the Super Bowl in Miami, just doing what’s left over. It was Denver and Atlanta. The Monday-afterSuper-Bowl press conference, that’s when John Elway officially came out and said he’s retiring. You’ve always got to be prepared.

Backyard dreams I worked at Rocky Mountain News 41 years. I always say, “If you’ve got to go to work, you might as well go to a game.”

I got into writing in the Lincoln Log — the (Denver) Lincoln High School paper — and I’ve been doing it ever since … The old neighborhood paper, Barnum News, I wrote a few stories for them.

I’d like to say I played everything — I did in the back yard. I played baseball for two years in high school and youth baseball, too, before then.

I can remember clipping box scores out of the paper and going out in the back yard, pretending like I was an announcer.

I worked at the Clarion newspaper at the University of Denver. I’ve sort of always been in the business.

School sports over decades It has a changed a lot because high school kids follow other major sports in town … best thing is, they are more under control at least in high school — you don’t get the celebrating in the end zone. Athletically, with these Colorado Community Media spotlights — you say, “Are you in high school?”

They look older. They’re much more athletic.

In the old days, 200 pounds was a big offensive lineman — now, you can’t be — 280-290 is what it is today. You used to be able to show up and be on the team.

Set on sports reporting Boy, if there was any other dream I had, I couldn’t tell you. If that Rocky job hadn’t come up, I don’t know what I would have done. I just knew it’d be something like that or in sports information.

I went to the University of Denver,

ELLIS ARNOLD Advice for young reporters Pay attention, because there’s always something in a game that’s overlooked. Everybody knows the score or who hit a home run, especially with the internet … don’t overlook something you might think is important or interesting.

I had this problem a lot: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Sometimes, I’d think I should stop because a guy’s getting (angry with) me, but you’ve got to at least try.

Satisfied with career To be quite honest, you always want to say you want to be at the finals or Super Bowl. I got in a couple things like that. But I never said “I need to do” this or that. I just felt very fortunate to be able to be there and do what I was doing.

2020 property tax notifications arriving Your Douglas County Taxes mapping app shares details about distribution of money STAFF REPORT

With 2020 tax bills and notifications arriving in the mail starting this week, Douglas County property owners might have questions about what happens to the money collected.

According to a news release, even though property tax bills are paid to the Douglas County treasurer, the money is distributed to various taxing authorities associated with a property, according to a news release.

“Where you live in the county determines which taxing authorities serve you, how much your property tax is and, ultimately, where your property tax dollars are distributed by our office,” Dave Gill, Douglas County treasurer, said in the news release.

“Typically, less than half of the property tax you pay stays with county government.”

New this year to help taxpayers see where their property taxes are being distributed is the Your Douglas County Taxes mapping application, a map-based view of tax parcel information and taxing authorities receiving a tax distribution found at yourdougcotaxes.com. Residents can search by address or zoom in on the map to view individual parcel details about Douglas County properties.

For even more details about the specifics of property tax distribution, visit www.douglas.co.us/assessor, search for a property and then search for the list of tax authorities to whom that property taxes are distributed.

To view specific parcel details, pay taxes online, obtain property tax history and receipts for payments, and view and print current-year tax statements, go to douglascotax.com.

Taxpayers have the option to pay taxes in one full installment by April 30 or in two installments, with the first half due by the last day of February and the second half due by June 15.

Property owners who have not received property tax notifications by mid-February, are asked to email dctreasurer@douglas.co.us or visit www. douglas.co.us/treasurer.

Students graduate from Eagle Academy with high hopes Douglas County night school helps teens get back on their feet, students say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Collin Rogers-Peckham moved from one school to the next in the Douglas County School District, he continually fell behind in his education. Several bouts of strep throat, he thinks spurred on by stress and anxiety, resulted in a growing number of school absences.

The more days he missed, the more his grades slipped. Finally, he decided to apply for Eagle Academy High School in Lone Tree, the district’s only night school, where there are smaller class sizes and a heightened focus on the individual student.

“I was getting into a really dark pit in (traditional) public schools,” he said.

“Feeling like I wouldn’t accomplish something.”

At Eagle, the 18-year-old from Highlands Ranch noticed an immediate difference. He could go to the counselor and be transparent about his struggles.

He learned more about the paths students can take after high school. He felt a personal connection with teachers.

On Jan. 17, Rogers-Peckham graduated from Eagle with his high school diploma. The alternative school helped

Collin Rogers-Peckham and Hadley Pletscher, seniors at Eagle Academy, graduated on Jan. 17.

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS him make a life plan, he said, and feel excited for his future.

Eagle’s schedule allows students to pursue their education while fulfilling responsibilities outside of school, like working part-time, or just getting back on track after falling behind.

“Our philosophy is we meet kids where they’re at when they walk in the door,” Principal Jeff Broeker said.

Eagle works by quarters. It receives new students every nine weeks and graduates seniors twice a year.

The school emphasizes mental health support, employing four mental health professionals who work with the 150 students.

Students usually qualify in at least one at-risk category defined by the state, like truancy or insufficient credits needed to graduate, Broeker said. Some have learning disabilities or special needs.

Students apply to Eagle and interview with the principal. Broeker always has a waitlist, and not everyone is

accepted. Class sizes are small, which he believes ensures teachers connect with students. He thinks of the school as a “big extended family.”

“It’s very hard to fall between the cracks here, but that’s a good thing, because sometimes kids don’t ask for support. They’re hoping you see they need support,” Broeker said.

Hadley Pletscher agreed. The 18-yearold applied to Eagle after falling behind at Chaparral High School her sophomore year.

The teen moved to Colorado following her freshman year of high school in Swartz Creek, Michigan, roughly 10 miles from the water-troubled Flint.

In Michigan, she felt surrounded by violence.

She moved to Colorado to start fresh, but had trouble leaving the negativity she experienced in Michigan behind.

“I didn’t do well at Chaparral because I started to skip classes. I didn’t turn in my homework, and then from there I was afraid to try again and get up on my feet, because I didn’t think that was possible,” Pletscher said.

She didn’t know if she would graduate high school, but at Eagle learned it’s up to her to use the tools she’s given in life, she said.

“I was able to re-evaluate who Hadley is and who I want to be and that I do have all of the strength in me,” she said. “I am capable of graduating with a high school diploma and so much more, because that’s just the beginning”

Douglas County disputes claim in STEM shooting STEM victim says sheriff’s office provided inadequate security

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s attorney said the county is not liable for the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch after one of the victims filed a claim against the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office in October.

The student, Brendan Bialy, alleges the sheriff ’s office didn’t provide adequate security for STEM because it didn’t assign the school a resource officer.

Two STEM students were arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack, which left one student dead and eight injured in May. The sheriff ’s office and STEM disagreed over appropriate duties for an SRO leading up to the 201819 school year and didn’t enter into a contract to have an SRO cover the school, according to a lengthy news release the sheriff ’s office issued a few days after the May 7 shooting.

STEM instead contracted with a private security company. An armed security guard was on duty during the shooting. The guard,

Douglas County Attorney Lance Ingalls disputed Bialy’s claim in a written response.

“Your claim suggests that the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office (DCSO) is or could be liable for failure to provide a school resource officer (SRO) to STEM at the time of the shooting,” Ingalls wrote. “Charter schools are authorized to contract for services as it deems appropriate and STEM did not have an agreement with DCSO for the 2018-2019 school year for an SRO or other security services.”

DCSO did not have authority to be at STEM outside of responding to 911 calls during the shooting, the attorney said, which it responded to “immediately.”

Ingalls said the claim asserted the sheriff ’s office was liable under the Colorado Government Immunity Act. The act covers when a government entity is or is not immune from liabilities.

“It is not clear how and why you believe not having such an agreement between STEM and DCSO for an SRO or other type of security results in a waiver of the CGIA, but Douglas County does not agree with this apparent conclusion,” Ingalls wrote.

Lawmakers aim to divide 18th Judicial District More than 1 million residents live in current four-county jurisdiction

POPULATION BY DISTRICT Population of some Front Range judicial districts: • 18th Judicial District (Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln) — 1.026 million • 4th Judicial District (El Paso, Teller) — 738,939 • 2nd Judicial District (Denver) — 716,492 • 1st Judicial District (Jefferson, Gilpin) — 586,354 • 17th Judicial District (Adams, Broomfield) — 581,135

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The start to a new legislative session has reignited plans to split up the state’s fastest-growing and most populous judicial district — the 18th Judicial District. Or, what one lawmaker called a “monstrous” chunk of Colorado crammed under a single district’s oversight.

In short, lawmakers say the district is pressured by rapid population growth and increasingly diverse communities with different individual needs.

“It has become monstrous, so to speak. Just a very large judicial district compared to all the others,” said State Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, RHighlands Ranch, a bill sponsor.

Colorado state lawmakers on Jan. 8 introduced House Bill 20-1026, which would create a 23rd Judicial District by splitting the 18th in two. The district today serves more than 1 million people and comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

The next largest, Colorado’s 4th Judicial District, serves fewer than 750,000 people.

If passed, the bill would leave Arapahoe County in the 18th Judicial District and place the remaining three counties into another, creating Colorado’s newest judicial district in decades.

The state has operated 22 judicial districts for the past five decades despite growing in population by more than 3.5 million people in that same time, the bill states. Colorado had four districts at statehood.

Creating a 23rd requires a twothirds vote by the general assembly.

State Rep. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, considered introducing similar legislation last session and is one of the bill sponsors. It’s scheduled to go before the House Judiciary Committee, on which he sits, this month.

State Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, and state. Sen. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, also are sponsoring the legislation.

“Grateful to have bipartisan support in both chambers,” Weissman said. “I think it’s a recognition that there’s some good sense in the bill.”

A ‘unique’ district Van Winkle said putting Arapahoe County — which has a population of roughly 650,000 people — into its own district and leaving Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln in another will allow the counties to customize a district to their local needs. Particularly as Arapahoe and Douglas have created a “somewhat separate culture and political trend,” he said.

“The voters of each Douglas and Arapahoe county should be able to elect a district attorney that reflects their hometown values,” Van Winkle

George Brauchler, shown here at a July 2019 press conference, was first elected district attorney for the 18th Judicial District in 2012.

FILE PHOTO said.

More than 104,000 of Douglas County’s 261,399 registered voters are Republican, compared to 50,636 Democrats. Of Arapahoe County’s 434,029 registered voters, 140,098 are Democrats compared to 107,538 Republicans.

For 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican, ideological differences alone aren’t good enough reason to split the district.

Redistricting can make a significant difference for hot-button issues, he said, naming the death penalty as an example. Every person on death row in Colorado comes from the 18th Judicial District.

“I think there are people out there who want to upend the criminal justice system,” he said. “What’s the best way to do that? Change out who the decision maker is.”

Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties all lean Republican while Arapahoe County voters have supported Democratic candidates in recent election cycles, he said. Placing Arapahoe County into its own district could open the door to electing a district attorney who opposes the death penalty, although capital punishment could be repealed altogether if Senate Bill 20-100 is successful.

“If we’re going to the point of, how to draw district attorney lines merely or purely to accomodate political interests, I think we’re making a huge mistake,” he said.

That’s not the case with the bill to create a 23rd district, he said. To Brauchler, the 18th’s growth and some budgetary concerns add legitimate reasons to consider redistricting it now.

“Where else do you see a multicounty jurisdiction where one of

the counties has exploded the way Douglas has?” he asked.

The county’s population has more than doubled since the 2010 Census, according to Douglas County’s population estimates from January 2019.

Brauchler said he supports the bill, although he believes the judicial district could continue operating “in its current configuration.”

“I think it’s probably something that is overdue and important for this jurisdiction, but really only this jurisdiction,” Brauchler said. “We’re so unique and we’ve grown in such a unique way.”

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said splitting up the districts would give counties the freedom to create specialty courts needed at the local level. Her priority is mental health courts.

Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said the county supports the bill, but officials will keep a close eye on impacts to the county budget.

‘Things have changed’ If passed, both the 18th and 23rd districts would elect their own district attorney in November 2024.

The winner would assume office in January 2025, also when the 23rd is planned to be up and running.

The change needs to revolve around district attorney elections, Weissman said, which take place every four years in conjunction with the presidential election.

Weissman noted judicial districts are typically set up in one of three ways.

The first approach is letting a populous county comprise its own judicial district, like Boulder or Denver.

The second is pairing one populous

county with smaller ones, and the final is clustering rural or less populous counties together.

“The 18th is the only district that consists of two of the most populous and fastest-growing counties in the state,” Weissman said.

Thomas said she’s eager to see the bill passed.

“Things have changed. Populations have changed. The needs of the communities have changed, and by getting this done, Arapahoe County will be better able to focus on the needs of their community and our three counties can really focus on our needs.

Which is huge,” Thomas said.

Van Winkle commended Brauchler, a Parker Republican, for his management of the diverse district.

“He has some extremely rural parts in the district, in terms of Elbert and Lincoln counties. He has Douglas, which is mixed, and of course pieces of Aurora and all of Arapahoe County,” Van Winkle said.

Brauchler, who was elected in 2012, is serving the final year of his second term as DA and cannot seek reelection in the district. District attorneys are allowed to take a term off and then run for election again, a spokesman for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said.

Brauchler has not ruled out a run for district attorney in 2024 or a future political career, but he’s not sure what his plans are once his term ends this year.

“I’m not being coy here when I say I don’t know,” Brauchler said. “I think I’ve got a lot more in the tank to give to the community. I just don’t know what that looks like yet.”

Keeping watch Brauchler stressed a judicial hasn’t been created since the 1960s. Setting up a new district will be difficult.

“There’s no playbook for this,” he said.

The bill requires the judicial department to report its progress in creating the new district, with input from the counties, at hearings held under the State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive and Transparent (SMART) Government Act. During those, departments present performance plans that detail their operations and budget requests to the Joint Committees of Reference.

“There really has to be ongoing attention to the transition process,” Weissman said. “We can’t pass a bill SEE DISTRICT, P7

and forget it.”

A final report is due at the hearings in 2026 detailing the entire transition process.

The report must address what went well in creating the new district and what aspects of the transition caused trouble. Plus, recommendations to legislators for smoothing the process for future changes to judicial districts.

“So, the next time a judicial district needs to be created, we already know what that wheel looks like. That district isn’t going to have to recreate a new wheel,” Thomas said.

The department is required to budget for any costs associated with creating the district through the 2025 fiscal year.

The SMART hearings, or oversight of the transition, are crucial in Arapahoe County’s stance on the bill, Sharpe said. Arapahoe’s support is “contingent upon the financial interests of our constituents being protected by the bill,” she said, and ensuring the transition is wellplanned.

The county’s revenue is limited by TABOR, and officials anticipate one day outgrowing the county’s justice center. That could mean needing more courtrooms, judges, support staff and space. The county appreciates having four years to prepare for a new district, so it can learn more about impacts to the county and prepare, Sharpe said, including the financial impact.

“Those are all things that we have been talking about, not only with our jail but with our justice center,” she said.

Costs associated with setting up a new district remain unknown, Van Winkle, Weismann, Sharpe and Thomas said.

Thomas doubts expenses will incur before 2023 or 2024. Van Winkle said they should be minimal. Weissman believes allowing ample time to set up a new district will spread costs over several years, making them easier to absorb.

“We’re giving kind of a long glide path, a long landing slope,” Van Winkle said.

Years in the works Talks about dividing the district have gone on for years, but plans swung into full motion in the 2019 legislative session as Weissman carefully considered introducing a similar bill.

“It’s something that I have been thinking about for years, just reflecting on the large population of the current 18th, the fact that it’s growing quickly,” Weissman said.

Growing interest from prospective bill sponsors and local officials caught his attention last year, he said. But Weissman changed course following a Jan. 30, 2019 meeting with various stakeholders, including county commissioners and judicial department staff.

Douglas County commissioners urged swift action to alleviate pres-

sures on the district, particularly with a 2020 election around the corner, what would have been the next opportunity to elect a 23rd district attorney.

A memo from the office of then Secretary of State Wayne Williams stressed if a bill wasn’t introduced in 2019, a new district attorney wouldn’t likely be elected until 2024. Any bill introduced after 2019 wouldn’t leave enough time for district attorney candidates to get on the ballot, according to the memo.

Thomas helped spearhead the county’s efforts to split the judicial district in 2019.

The county compiled a report finding it was paying roughly 33% of district costs while accounting for less than 25% of felony crimes.

About 81% of serious felonies and 70% of all felonies were occurring in Arapahoe County. Counties’ contribution to the budget is based on population, but felony crimes require more resources and manpower.

Brauchler said it’s fair for the counties to question the cost-sharing and if Douglas has been subsidizing Arapahoe’s crime, but he wondered how Arapahoe County will make up for the budget shortfall as its own judicial district.

“That’s going to be tough,” he said.

Not everyone urged immediate action. Arapahoe County commissioners pleaded with stakeholders in the January 2019 stakeholder meeting to slow down.

Waiting for 2024 would provide an adequate study period to figure out how to set up a new district, they said, and how to fund the transition.

Weissman, heeding those warnings, decided against introducing a 2019 bill at the meeting’s end.

“It became clear that was too much too quickly,” he said.

‘Creating history’ Weissman didn’t stop working on the issue after deciding against 2019 legislation.

“I’ve had a lot of conversations over the last year,” he said.

Talks with the four counties, the state judicial department, public defenders and district attorneys informed the bill, he said.

Thomas initially preferred passing a bill in 2019 so that new district attorneys could be elected in 2020.

She was excited by the prospect of splitting the district, and confident it would be good for her community, she said.

Now, Thomas says she’s grateful they have four years to take on the task, should the Legislature pass the bill. She understands the desire to take a transition slow and do it well, she said.

“Let’s face it,” Thomas said. “No. 1, we are creating history here.”

Friends of teen murder victim celebrate her life with vigil Mile High Academy hosted the event in Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Friends, fellow students and teachers of a recently slain teen celebrated the girl’s life during a candlelight vigil at Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch on Jan. 16.

Mya Pena, 17, was a student at the school before she was killed Jan. 14 in what is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

During the vigil, students spoke to the crowd about Mya’s personality and their favorite memories with her.

“I knew Mya since the first grade,” one student said. “She was probably one of the toughest people I ever met.”

Many students broke down in tears as they talked about when they first

met Mya and the impact she had on them.

“She was so supportive, she was always there for me,” a classmate said.

One friend spoke about a time when the two of them got lost in the woods together and she became panicked. Mya told her to stop crying and said “let’s keep moving,” the friend said.

Commonalities emerged as the students told their stories, painting a vivid image of who Mya was and what about her stood out the most: her unwavering smile, her competitive spirit, her independence and her support of friends.

A former coach told a story about Mya’s intensity on the soccer field but pointed out she had another side as well.

“She had this contrast of this toughness yet this tenderness all at the same time,” he said.

At some points, students spoke directly to Mya’s family, expressing sorrow for what happened and offering support.

“I’m so sorry this happened to you,” one student said through tears.

“She was an amazing person who cared about everyone around her.”

Mya was killed after she got into a car with Samuel Hoffman, a longtime friend, after school on Jan. 14, Sheriff Tony Spurlock told reporters in a recent news conference. Investigators believe that within 15 minutes, Hoffman had killed her.

Later that night, law enforcement found Hoffman’s car and when they made contact with him, the 18-yearold took his own life.

Hoffman, from Centennial, had been placed on an emergency mental health hold in the past and was being investigated in Aurora for a domestic violence incident involving a different girl.

The apparent murder-suicide is still under investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

As of Jan. 17, a GoFundMe created to support the Pena family and verified by them had raised more than $25,000.

Mya Pena, 17, was killed in what is being investigated as a murder-suicide on Jan. 14. Pena was a soccer player and student at Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch.

Nonprofit aims to feed hungry kids on weekends New program will kick off at ThunderRidge High School

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

June Everett is the founder of a new nonprofit in Douglas County called the Backpack Society. The organization aims to provide weekend meals for students who are eligible for free or reduced lunches.

ELLIOTT WENZLER

While many may not think of Douglas County as a community where students struggle with hunger, a new nonprofit has been formed to address just that situation.

Highlands Ranch resident June Everett decided to start the organization, called the Backpack Society, when she learned that there are nearly 300 students in her area and about 8,000 in the district who qualify for free or reduced school lunches.

“I started digging into the numbers and it was just a surprise,” she said. “People don’t think that this exists here in Douglas County.”

When she spoke to guidance counselors at nearby ThunderRidge High School about her idea to help provide six weekend meals for these kids, they gave her the green light.

“These kids come in and they’re not able to learn properly because they’re hungry,” she said. “They see that every day.”

There are 97 students at the high school in need of a free or reduced lunch and 186 students at its feeder

schools.

“A hungry kid is a hungry kid, it doesn’t matter where they’re located,” she said. “These kids get overlooked because of how wealthy the county is.”

The nonprofit is called the Backpack Society because the meals will be handed out in unmarked backpacks by the guidance counselor’s office.

“I want to keep it as anonymous as possible,” Everett said. “I feel like they’re going to be embarrassed so we need to be very careful in how we’re distributing it.”

Everett plans to kick off operations with a 20-student pilot program at ThunderRidge High School during the last nine weeks of the school year. In August, she hopes to open it up to all the other students at the high school and possibly the other feeder schools in the area, depending on funding.

Eventually, she hopes to spread the program to the entire district.

“I would like every kid to have an opportunity to have a meal,” she said.

As the nonprofit gets up and running, there will be multiple ways the community can help out, including volunteering and contributing funds, she said.

Donations can be made on the organization’s website, Backpacksociety.org, or on Facebook @BackpackSocietyCO.

Section of Highway 85 on schedule to be widened Douglas County has agreed to fund an additional $2.5 million for the project

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A section of Highway 85 near Louviers is on its way to being widened after the Douglas County Board of Commissioners agreed to contribute $2.5 million to the project in a Jan. 14 meeting.

Construction on the nearly 3-mile section, which runs from Louviers to just north of Sedalia, is slated to begin in April and last about two years, said Art Griffith, the county’s manager for transportation capital projects.

This is the first road improvement that has been made possible through the passage of ballot item 1A, which reallocated a portion of sales tax to transportation.

“I’m just very grateful that our citizens passed 1A and that we now have the additional funds,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said. “I am very excited.”

It has been about 18 years since the state’s whole project was approved, which includes reconstruction and widening of the highway from C-470 to Castle Rock.

“We’ve been cobbling the funds together over the last 20 year to improve 85,” Griffith said.

This part of the project will cost more than $40 million, with Douglas County having contributed a total of about $5.5 million.

“It highlights why transportation dollars are so precious and so necessary and needed but hard to come by,” Thomas said. “Road construction is expensive.”

This section of the state highway currently has two lanes and no shoulder. The new project will completely reconstruct and pave the road and widen it to have four lanes, a large median and 10-feet-wide shoulders, Griffith said.

“If you live in Denver and Aurora, they’ve got a really good grid system.

But in Douglas County, just the way we matured … we don’t have a grid, we rely on the state highway system,” Griffith said. “That’s why we invest in these corridors when CDOT has less money.”

This portion of the road has been known to have significant traffic congestion and can be dangerous where it narrows from two lanes in each direction to one, Griffith said.

“That’s where some serious accidents have occurred,” he said.

The next section to be improved will be from Sedalia to Castle Rock, he said.

This section of State Highway 85 between Louviers and Sedalia has been known to cause significant traffic congestion. It is slated to be widened after the Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted to contribute the necessary funds Jan. 14.

Man who shot at deputies gets 10-year sentence The Denver man pleaded guilty to multiple crimes STAFF REPORT

A Denver man who pleaded guilty to multiple crimes after firing at Douglas County deputies was sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to a Jan. 15 release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Manuelito Dewane Vigil, 22, was arrested following a January 2019 incident in Highlands Vigil Ranch.

The event began when the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office was alerted that a man was trying to break into vehicles in Highlands Ranch. When deputies located and pursued Vigil’s vehicle, he attempted to elude them and fired shots from his van, according to the release.

Vigil was caught at his home in Denver a few days later with multiple firearms, a ballistic vest, ammunition and a mask. The van he was driving was found to have been stolen

and contained more than 200 pieces of stolen mail, according to the release.

He was out on bond from Arapahoe County when the crime took place.

“A repeat offender who was being supervised for a burglary conviction and already on bond for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon finds a way yet again to get another firearm … and use it to shoot at our guardians. A system that fails to treat gun crimes seriously begets more gun crimes,” District Attorney George Brauchler said in the release.

Vigil pleaded guilty to aggravated motor vehicle theft, possession of a weapon by a previous offender with a prior burglary conviction, vehicular eluding, first-degree auto trespass, violation of bail bond conditions, second-degree burglary and felony menacing, according to the release.

Other counts were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

“Mercifully, nobody was killed — this time,” Brauchler said in the statement. “This reprobate will find it harder to shoot at the good guys from prison, but under our broken sentencing laws, he will only be in there for a handful of years.”

Kids get crafty on MLK DAY

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

bout 15 kids from Highlands Ranch got creative on Martin Luther King Jr. Day during a “Paint Explosion” class at the Southridge Recreation Center.

Instructor Lannie Pihajlic encouraged the youths to try out different colors and tools when experimenting on their canvases. “(The goal is) just to teach them color and how colors complement each other and how they work,” he said.

The Highlands Ranch Community Association offered multiple classes during the day while kids were out of school, including a jewelry-making camp and a cupcake chef class.

VOICES Count carefully to 17, and it’s fine to be sylly

E

nglish jurist John Selden (15841654) said, “Syllables govern the world.”

Maybe syllables governed the world in the 17th cenQUIET tury, but lately they have been treated DESPERATION with impudence and disrespect in the name of convenience.

There are those who think as Selden did and quite a few of them are within the sound of my voice: namely the “Quiet Desperation” readers Craig Marshall who entered my annual haiku contest.

Smith This column highlights some of the best entries.

While I encouraged a wide range of themes, the majority of the haiku I

received focused on the new year, and it was understandable. Last year was not Miss America, particularly in the final weeks during the impeachment hearings.

Then, guess what? The new year starts off with a bang, as it were, in Iran and international tension is on high alert.

Seventeen-syllable poems might seem like butterflies in a tornado right now, but I think they are reminders of the sustenance in human creativity.

Please welcome Becky Bland and her family.

She wrote: “Des Moines, Iowa / Castle Rock, Colorado / We found a new home.”

Look at little “Iowa.” It uses up three syllables all by itself.

What are the longest one-syllable words? “Stretched,” “scrounged,” and

“scratched.”

Leslie Stevens, Highlands Ranch, said her haiku was written for a ladies’ hiking group called the “WalkieTalkies.”

“We walk and we talk / Challenged by the rocky trail / Exhausted, refreshed.”

Art Elser, Denver: “on our morning walk / a lone solitaire proclaimed / the winter solstice.”

Fran Fisher, Parker: “Marmalade cat friend / Golden age gilded by sun / His late afternoon.”

Andy Schramm, Evergreen, has a sense of humor: “Today’s top story / Violent alpine overthrow / A very high coup.”

Michael Collier, Lafayette, California: “Risky investments / The dog was chasing its tail / Calm 2020.”

In case you are wondering: “The usual way to refer to years is to pro-

nounce the first two digits together as one number, and the second two together as another number (pearsonlongman.com)”; therefore, 2020 (twenty-twenty) equals four syllables.

Andrea Corbo, Highlands Ranch: “This lame haiku is / My quiet desperation / Written just for you.”

The words “quiet desperation” are attributed to Henry David Thoreau and they were appropriated by Pink Floyd.

Sharene Schmalz, Cincinnati: “Ravage destruction / Oh, when will it ever end? / Let it be this year.”

Looks like we may have to wait, Sharene.

Ed Billingsly, Parker: “Complimentary / Dazzling necktie, red and green / Complementary.”

Domination through disruption opens huge opportunities

W LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Put onus on universities Gov. Polis has seen fit to make a donation in all taxpayers’ names to a cause he sees as worthy, repaying two years of some graduates’ college loans. That may be a worthy cause, but it’s rather disingenuous since he is planning to make the donation with other people’s money, namely tax dollars.

Instead of using our tax money, he should press CU, with an endowment of $1.45 billion, to invest in students through loans and loan guarantees instead of stocks, bonds, real estate and other non-education

related investments. Loans could make money for the university if the graduates are successful and able to pay them off. If not, then the university should examine why it is producing graduates who are unable to earn enough to pay back their loans, and adjust their programs and costs to resolve the problem that they created and have the most control over.

Universities need to be more vested in the financial outcome of the education product they are selling.

hen we look at some of the most recent and incredible success stories in business, sports, and artistic performance we are seeing a bit of a trend, aren’t we? What we are seeing are companies, teams, and individuals who are winning and winning big through disruption. They are doing things we never imagined possible and chang- WINNING ing the conversaWORDS tions we are having with one another as we discuss their amazing feats.

These are the businesses, organizations, and people who look for competitive advantages and opportunities to challenge the status Michael Norton quo on a regular basis. It could be new technology, leveraging data, and developing excellence in their people and in themselves in new and transformational ways. They monitor trends in the industry, in the game, and from the stage to look for any new opening and

idea that leads them to turn things on their head and defy new levels of achievement.

Companies, teams, players, and artists who are dominating through disruption also do something else better than their competitors. While looking for breakthrough moments and ideas, they still focus on the fundamentals, the blocking and tackling if you will. Solid research that leads to structured planning and then doing the behaviors necessary to leverage the research and execute against the plan. Couple that with working on instinct when necessary and you have a recipe for disruptive success.

Holding fast to the fundamentals while looking for ways to be disruptive takes innovative leadership and a creative team that is committed to the tried-and-true fundamentals that serve as the foundation for success, yet curious enough to push the boundaries and norms to explore options that others may have missed or had never even considered.

I am not just referring to the newest, latest and greatest gadgets, widgets and gizmos that hit the market,

although so many of them definitely pique my interest and I think they are very cool. What I am referring to are the disruptors out there who are thinking differently and very strategically, and before anyone else does.

amazing thinking, disruptive thinking. The kind of disruptive thinking that could lead to domination and success.

And what do I mean by domination?

Domination is not just for big companies, professional teams, or individual performers. Domination could be for every size company and for each one of us too. Dominating a local market by being a bit disruptive. Breaking a bad habit, through a disruptive and new or better habit. Dominating other poor practices that we follow and want to change by stretching the boundaries of our thinking. We all have the capacity to make new decisions based on new information, and maybe our

input needs a dose of disruptive thinking.

“The fastest way to success is by replacing one bad habit with one good habit” - Tom Ziglar With a focus on the fundamentals and a willingness to be a little disruptive, we can leverage our core strengths and begin developing new attitudes, behaviors, and techniques in all areas of life. Breaking through our comfort zone and status quo doesn’t necessarily mean we abandon our belief system, it means we look for new ways to live, work, play, compete and succeed in whatever it is we choose to do in work, life, and play.

How about you? Could you benefit

from a little disruptive thinking as we continue to kick off the new year?

Is there something that is calling for you to raise the bar higher, something yet to conquer, or something you need to dominate or defeat? I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can build a little healthy disruption into our lives, it really will be a better than good week, maybe even a dominatingly good week.

Want to record a song?

Learn to sew? Try virtual reality? Head to the library!

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t all started with a state parks pass.

Areli Alcazar, a teacher at Kenton Elementary School in Aurora, stopped by the Schlessman branch of Denver Public Library a couple years ago, where a librarian told her DPL checks out passes to Colorado State Parks.

Before long, Alcazar and her family were hitting the trails in Roxborough and Chatfield state parks for the first time, toting a library-provided knapsack filled with binoculars, field guides and other gear.

“The pass gave us an incentive to be adventurous,” Alcazar said.

When she dropped off the pass at the library, she asked what else the library had to offer. The answers are still unfolding, and Alcazar is hooked.

An avid biker, Alcazar uses the library’s bike repair kits. Her desk is scattered with keepsakes and doohickeys she’s 3D-printed at Denver library makerspaces. She learned to sew LED lights into clothing. She helped her mom test the efficiency of her home appliances with a power check meter.

She and her friends check out passes to local museums. Now, when she’s bored, Alcazar said she drops into a library and asks what they can teach her today.

“If it’s all at our disposal,” Alcazar said, “why not try it out?”

‘The sky’s the limit’ Across the Denver metro area, libraries are redefining themselves, with innovative offerings meant to expand minds and lives.

“When people say libraries are obsolete, we say, ‘Are they? Let’s find out,’ ” said Anthony White, the manager of web systems for Arapahoe Libraries, which operates eight branches in Arapahoe County.

The district now features three recording studios outfitted with green screen walls and video and audio editing software. The Koelbel branch has a 39-seat theater available for plays, films and performances. The Castlewood branch will reopen in April with a purpose-built makerspace, featuring 3D printers, laser cutters, a ceramic kiln and more — double the size of the old makerspace, housed in a repurposed conference room.

“We really want to explore all the roles a library can play in a community,” White said. “The sky’s the limit.”

For some, that can mean learning skills that are otherwise out of reach.

Emily Roberts, a university librarian herself, wanted to try working with wool.

Colorado residents can get library cards for most of the state’s library districts for free. Most require a photo ID and proof of address.

The vast majority of library services, including state parks passes, museum passes, access to makerspaces and nontraditional items, are available for no charge. Some libraries may impose time or quantity limits on items like 3D printers that use consumable materials.

Numerous local library districts offer a wide array of services, including personalized book and movie recommendations, access to research databases, streaming movies and documentaries, classes, clubs and connections to other community services.

Many local library districts are now finefree, meaning they only impose fees for lost or damaged materials. Fine-free library districts include Jefferson County Libraries, Arapahoe Libraries and Denver Public Library.

Littleton arts Littleton has a new Arts and Culture Commission, created to “Raise the profile of arts and cultural programs and activities in Littleton” and enhance collaboration between the various entities that have operated pretty much independently. Ideally, organizations will come together to make a more vibrant arts community and highlight the city as an arts mecca. Nine members include Erin Acheson, Arapahoe Philharmonic; Mike Braaten, SSPRD, representing Hudson Gardens; Kathleen Eckel, Fine Arts Board; Michael Hommel Designs by Sundown, Littleton Business Chamber; JD McCrumb, Town Hall Arts Center; Kathleen McMurray, Museum Board; Greg Reinke, Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants; TBD from Arapahoe Community College; Monika Foley, Aspen Grove. Museum/Library Director Tim Nimz represents the city and Fabby Hillyard is hired as consultant. The City Council has discussed and studied the proposal since June, 2019 and approved it Nov. 19. The first-year budget is $31,500 for consultant and $2,500 for supplies and incidentals. Check Littletongov. org website for further information.

LIBRARY

Ashley Kazyaka checks on the progress of a 3D-printed tent pole connector at the Denver Public Library Central Branch’s IdeaLAB makerspace.

Kazyaka oversees the district’s makerspace program, which gives patrons access to a wide variety of tools and machinery.

FROM PAGE 14

She bought $15 worth of raw wool online, then headed to Castlewood Library to process it on a drum carding machine.

“I could invest $15 to learn something new,” Roberts said. “What I couldn’t do was invest $300 in classes and studio time. The library staff walked me through it — there’s only so much you can learn from a book.”

For others, it can mean a welcome reprieve when life throws them a curveball.

Anthony Montoya, a tax attorney in Castle Rock, found himself jobless when his law firm laid off his division.

“I was on my own all of a sudden, and everybody said I needed a commercial,” Montoya said. “Studios wanted to charge a lot of money, but the library in Parker had a green room, cameras and editing software.”

A Douglas County librarian gave Montoya and his wife a crash course in the equipment, and over a couple visits, he produced his own commercial.

“Another attorney told me recently they really liked my commercial, and asked who I hired to make it,” Montoya said. “I was pretty tickled by that.”

‘A beautiful thing’ New library offerings can be a powerful force for self-sufficiency, said Ashley Kazyaka, the program coordinator for Denver Public Library’s

IdeaLAB, a group of makerspaces spread throughout the DPL system.

“I think there’s a beautiful thing that happens when you learn to do something yourself,” said Kazyaka, amid a hum of activity in the Central Branch’s IdeaLAB. “People can come in here and learn to sew on buttons or fix their cell phones. We’ve even had people experiencing homelessness who come in and 3D-print replacement parts for their backpacks. The ability to solve problems can translate into bigger things in people’s lives.”

At a nearby sewing machine, Markie Arendelle sat at a sewing machine, repairing a rip in his winter coat.

“This place is empowering,” said Arendelle, a singer and DJ. “I’m selfemployed, and here I can print my stickers and iron-on patches — it saves me so much money.”

Libraries can also give people a chance to try out tech and toys they might not otherwise have access to, said Andrea Wyant, a collection devel-

opment librarian for Douglas County Libraries.

Wyant heads the district’s “nontraditional items” collection, where patrons can check out items ranging from high-end digital cameras, virtual reality headsets and karaoke machines to digital projectors and retro video game consoles.

“We can give people access to things they can use and return without cluttering up their houses or unnecessarily duplicating things,” Wyant said.

“Sharing is caring. How much stuff do we all need in our lives?”

Looking to the future A wide range of new offerings doesn’t mean libraries are skimping on the reading material, said Donna Walker, the executive director of Jefferson County Libraries. In fact, she said, they’re exploring new ways to deliver that, too.

Jeffco’s libraries are expanding their e-book offerings, and for those

who prefer the printed page, they’re rolling out Redbox-like book vending machines and Amazon-style lockers. Patrons can also schedule home or office visits from librarians who specialize in fields like academics or business.

Meanwhile, Jeffco is in the process of remodeling all 10 of its branches, including, yes, more makerspaces.

“We want to stay a step ahead of the community,” Walker said. “A decade ago, people said: ‘Who goes to the library anymore?’ Now, we’re hearing from people who have cards to five different local library systems.”

Walker said in a time of expansion, it’s important that libraries endear themselves to the community. While the economy is hot now, they’ve got to prepare in case things get tight.

“During the recession, libraries faced a lot of hardships,” Walker said.

“Hours were cut. Positions were cut.

Our job is to manage our growth and our finances, and build relationships.

Libraries are an essential service.

They’re part of the bedrock of democracy.”

The big picture, Walker said, is that libraries are expanding beyond the buildings they’re housed in.

“We talk about the library being everywhere,” Walker said. “Libraries can be in your pocket. We can come to you.”

While libraries don’t charge users for services, Walker said, everyone chips in.

“People are paying for this through their taxes,” Walker said. “You might as well use what you’re paying for.”

All bring issues to the fore — which is probably not how we remember them from story time at the library, school room, the Saturday movies — or at home!

The set consists of the lighted outline of a palace-ish sort of place, with curtained arches.

Works well, enhanced by lighting and sound.

But these tales are meant for adult audiences and the language gets a bit raw — so leave those little people at home this time, despite the fairy tale theme. Disney fare, it

is not!

A live band sits up to the right, led by Music Director Donna Kolpan Debreceni on keyboards, Sean Case, percussion and Scott Alan Smith, bass — a truly fine addition when budget allows … It really adds to the overall pleasure of live theater in a way that recorded music does not.

This material doesn’t have the overall depth and strength of some of our longtime favorite musicals, so the breadth of the message carries less of a wow factor, but it is sassy and fun — and the performers bring voices and style as they play at being feisty princesses …

We felt that they were happy ever after — or at least on that night!

THEY’RE FIT TO BE TIED

Unified programs help make world a kinder place

here seems to be a culture that has developed around unified sports programs in the state.

Unified sports programs join youngsters with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. Unified is a division of Special Olympics.

Legend, Chaparral, Regis Jesuit and Smoky Hill were among the eight Colorado high schools to be named 2019 National Banner Unified Champion schools.

Legend has 15 OVERTIME disabled athletes, and the able-bodied kids that volunteer to help are called partners.

Legend has five unified sports (soccer, basketball, flag football, bowling and track and field) and hopes to add cheerJim Benton leading to the list Shelly Boyd is the unified coach and Significant Support Needs teacher at Legend, and has two assistant coaches in Karen Forbes and Jeremy Dorr.

“We get partners through word of mouth,” said Boyd. “Jeremy and I started with no partners and then we went to five and we have 60 now.

Sometimes we feel like we don’t have enough sports because we have so many partners.

“It has just turned into a beautiful program. It’s just the culture we have in the building. In the classroom we call them peer aides, so some of them are peer aides and partners, they get to know the kids and fall in love with the kids. We are blessed that we have a school that supports us. We are treated like any other sports program at the school.”

Larry Bull is the Cherry Creek district athletic director, and all the district schools have unified programs.

“I believe unified sports has changed the cultures at schools,” said Bull.

“It’s just the excitement for everybody involved, the happiness, the kindness and inclusion. It’s a difference maker.

It’s one of the best things we do.

“When you start talking unified sports, take it out into the hallway, where you see kids walking down the hall high-fiving kids with disabilities because of the unified programs.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association will sanction unified bowling as a sport next year and the CHSAA has matches, races and games at many of its events.

“People are recognizing there are kiddos within their schools that can participate on different levels and are going out and seeking them,” said CHSAA Assistant Commissioner Jenn Roberts-Uhling.

And Boyd points out that all partici-

pants are rewarded.

“They (disabled players) love it and the parents love it,” she said. “The parents are just so thankful. The students with disabilities want to be just like every other kid out there. When they get to be around partners, they are just their friends, they don’t see a difference.

“We think the neurotypical kids are helping the kids with disabilities.

It turns around where the disability kids have helped them become better people.”

Athletes of the Year Anna Hall and Cohlton Schultz will be honored at the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet on April 23.

Hall, of Valor Christian, is the high school girls Athlete of the Year. She won two individual medals plus ran on two title relay teams at last spring’s state track meet and earlier set a national high school heptathlon indoor record. She is now on the track team at Georgia.

Schultz was a four-time state wrestling champion at Ponderosa and went 188-2 with 115 pins in high school as a 285-pounder and heavyweight. He is now at Arizona State.

Honor roll Each week, performances of South Metro athletes and teams will be

highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets held between Jan.10 and Jan. 16.

Senior Kobe Sanders scored 40 points as Chaparral, ranked 10th in the CHSAANow.com poll, defeated No. 5 Columbine in a Jan. 14 boys basketball game.

Cali Clark scored 19 points and Jana Van Gytenbeek added 18 as Cherry Creek, the top-ranked girls 5A basketball team, rallied to down fourth-ranked Highlands Ranch, 53-49, on Jan. 10. Taylor Ray of Highlands Ranch took scoring honors with 21 points.

Calvin Root had two goals and two assists to lead the Mountain Vista hockey team to a 6-3 win over Battle Mountain on Jan. 16.

Heritage won the Smoky Hill Invitational girls swim meet on Jan. 11 as Inge Ehm took first in the 100 butterfly, Aislyn Barnett in the 100 breaststroke and Anna Hall in the 200 IM. Junior Aj Kula had 18 points, which included four 3-point baskets, six assists and two steals, in Valor Christian’s 71-62 boys basketball win over Rock Canyon on Jan. 14.
