WHAT A RUSH

District talks budget concerns at town hall Change means more money for elementaries, less for secondary schools

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Facing rising costs and stagnant funding, the Douglas County School District community is searching for solutions.

To some, this means a mill levy or bond measure will need to be placed on the ballot — something that has not been popular in the county in the past.

More than 100 community members packed the auditorium at Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch Feb. 12 to discuss concerns about budget changes and funding shortages.

“We’re here to solve a problem and find a solution,” said parent Meg Masten, one of the event’s organizers.

The biggest point of contention was a change made by the school district that will see more money available for elementary schools, but less for middle and high schools.

Highlands Ranch students and players storm the court to celebrate the Falcons’ boys basketball victory over Rock Canyon on Feb. 10. A near-capacity crowd filled both upper and lower gym bleachers to see the host Falcons win 59-56 in overtime.

Holten Sparling led Highlands Ranch in scoring with 20 points, while Sam Masten led Rock Canyon with 27.

MY NAME IS

JENNIFER CAMPBELL-SMITH Eighth-grade physical science teacher at STEM School and Academy My background I was born in Colorado and from the ages of 2 to 12 years old, I lived in California. I then moved back to Highlands Ranch where I went to Ranch View Middle School and graduated from ThunderRidge High School in 2003.

I attended Colorado State University for a degree in zoology. That is where I started doing animal behavior research. I went to graduate school in upstate New York at Binghamton University for my Ph.D. in American crow social structure and behavioral ecology.

I started teaching at STEM last fall. Up until then I was working part-time as a taxidermist and volunteering at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

When I first heard about STEM, I thought, I would have killed to go to this school. So I sent an inquiry email and two days later, I had a job.

My research I’m still very much an active scientist. I applied to be a research associate for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, an unpaid position. Through that, I can utilize museum collections and resources. Basically, it’s a home academic institution for myself. It also gives me an opportunity to get students involved in real, publishable resources.

I started a natural history club at STEM as a way for students to get involved in natural history, learn about careers in natural history and get them involved in research.

NEWS IN A HURRY Jennifer Cambell-Smith is an eighthgrade physical science teacher at STEM School and Academy and licensed falconer.

Kestrel project Our natural history club will be working with Wild Wings Environmental Education, Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the American Kestrel Partnership, a subpart of the Peregrine Fund. We will be building nest boxes and monitoring nest boxes to start. We will be taking data on what makes a successful nest and what makes an unsuccessful nest.

I’m hoping to have one nest by the school. I’m also hoping to have nests around other Highlands Ranch schools to get other students involved. We will also be looking at natural nests.

I’d love to start a magpie project, but one step at a time. I love studying ravens, magpies and crows — animals that learn to exist with humans. I’m fascinated by the social systems of these animals.

Fun fact My husband and I are licensed falconers. We hunt small prey using red-tailed hawks, falcons and eagles — not with guns or bows. We just got our 14th rabbit on Super Bowl Sunday.

School board supports concealed carry on campus One of the two bills would provide training for teachers

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Board of Education voted to support a pair of bills that would allow people, including teachers, with a concealed carry permit to carry a handgun on school campuses.

One of the measures was killed in the state House the day after the school board’s Feb. 7 meeting and the other recently passed the Senate and was sent to the House. Both bills were introduced and supported by Republicans, who control the Senate, but opposed by Democrats, who hold a majority in the House.

The board’s motion of support does not have any official standing, but serves to signify its backing of the legislation.

House Bill 17-1036, a measure that would have changed the law to allow anyone with a concealed carry permit to carry a handgun on public

school grounds, garnered a 4-3 vote of support from the school board. It was voted down on a 6-3 party-line vote in a House committee on Feb. 8. Its sponsors were state Reps. Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, and Kim Ransom, R-Acres Green, and state Sen. Tim Neville, R-Jefferson County.

The board also voted 4-3 to support Senate Bill 17-005, which would allow teachers and other public school employees who have concealed carry permits to carry a handgun on campus after completing safety training.

The legislation — which passed the Senate on Feb. 6 — is sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and Patrick Neville.

It would allow a county sheriff to provide a safety-training course to employees of any public elementary, middle, junior high or high school who has a permit to carry a concealed handgun. Once that training is completed, the employee would be permitted to carry the handgun on campus.

On both bills, Meghann Silverthorn, Judith Reynolds, James Geddes and Steven Peck voted in favor of support, while David Ray, SEE GUNS, P15

Bill on gun training for school employees passes state Senate A separate bill on concealed carry in schools is killed in the House

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

A bill that would allow teachers and other public school employees who have the proper permit to carry a handgun on campus after completing safety training has passed the state Senate.

Meanwhile, a measure that would have allowed anyone with a concealed carry permit to carry a handgun on public school grounds was defeated in the House.

Both bills were introduced and supported by Republicans, who control the Senate, but opposed by Democrats, who hold a majority in the House.

Senate Bill 17-005 is sponsored

by Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, RCastle Rock. It would allow a county sheriff to provide a safety-training course to any employee of any public elementary, middle, junior high or high school who has a permit

to carry a concealed handgun, a summary of the bill says. Once that training is completed, the employee would be permitted to carry the handgun on campus.

It was approved 18-17, a party-line vote, on Feb. 6. It will now face an uphill battle in the House.

Holbert said his bill encourages a greater Holbert level of training for all people who are armed in public schools, including law enforcement and staff who are hired as private security guards.

As part of the bill, a county sheriff would consult with the school district in the sheriff ’s Neville county to establish a curriculum for the safety-training course. Individual school districts would need to approve the program set up by the sheriff and would be able to cap the number of employees who are permitted to carry a gun at each school.

Highlands Ranch teen sentenced for role in murder plot Brooke Higgins takes the stand, apologizes to community

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

At her sentencing hearing, Brooke Higgins, a teenager convicted of a plot to kill staff and students at Mountain Vista High School, took the stand and wept as she apologized to the community.

“Finally and most importantly, I want to say I’m sorry,” said Higgins, who was joined at the stand by her two lawyers. “I reflect on that time and it doesn’t seem like me, it doesn’t seem like anything I could have thought, written or done.”

Higgins, now 17, was formally sentenced Feb. 8 at a hearing at the Douglas County Courthouse in Castle Rock.

Higgins pleaded guilty to two charges, one as a juvenile and one as an adult, on Dec. 20. She will spend three years in the Department of Youth Corrections — including the past year that she has been in custody — for solicitation to commit murder, for which she was prosecuted as a juvenile. That will be followed by four years of adult supervised probation with mental health treatment in the adult case, conspiracy to commit muder.

If she successfully completes the probation sentence, she can have the adult conviction sealed.

Higgins and Sienna Johnson were arrested in December 2015 after TextA-Tip reported their alleged murder plot against the high school in Highlands Ranch. They were sophomores and 16 at the time. Both were charged as adults in January 2016 with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with extreme indifference and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberation.

Johnson’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 27.

Unlike past hearings, the Douglas County courtroom where Higgins’ sentencing hearing was held was filled with family members and friends.

Several witnesses, including a teacher, a child psychiatrist, a juvenile correc-

Brooke Higgins, 17, prepares to address the courtroom during her sentencing hearing Feb. 8 in Castle Rock. At left is one of her attorneys, Kathleen McGuire. Higgins, a former Mountain Vista high school student, was sentenced to three years in a juvenile corrections facility, followed by four years of adult probation, for conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation to commit murder in connection with a plot to attack her school.

POOL PHOTO BY MIKE GRADY/KUSA tions officer, a public safety psychologist and Higgins’ father, Thomas Higgins, took the stand.

“High school was and is not the best year in our lives. It is a time poor choices are made and friends are made and lost,” said J.J. Babbs, a Mountain Vista High School teacher who taught Higgins for a year. “Just like high school didn’t define any of us, I know it doesn’t define her.”

Thomas Higgins’ expressed his disappointment in the court system, arguing that his daughter’s case should have been kept in juvenile court.

“I’m outraged that (District Attorney George) Brauchler would file a girl in adult court who didn’t have any weapons and has never hurt anyone before in her life,” he said. “The silver lining is that we have a daughter who is safe and healthy.”

Court testimonies and Higgins’ arrest affidavit, which was released in early January, paint the picture of a teenager who struggled with depression, post traumatic stress disorder and drug abuse.

According to the affidavit, Higgins brought the idea of a school shooting

to Johnson in December 2015 and the two took steps toward carrying out their plan. They planned to kill themselves after carrying out the attack, according to the document.

Higgins tried to obtain guns through other individuals, pawn shops and online stores. Johnson, whose name appears redacted in the affidavit, created an intricate map of the school that included all exits, the busiest locations and times and information on the school’s security, the document says.

In her journal, Higgins had written about cocaine use, suicidal thoughts and feelings of sadness. She wrote about being in counseling, hoping it would create a new chapter in her life.

She also wrote about how she wished she had been part of the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting that left 12 students and a teacher dead.

One of Higgins’ lawyers, Iris Eytan, argued at the sentencing hearing that Higgins never planned to shoot up the school.

“Brooke was 16 and Googling and writing things that she thought no one would see,” Eytan said. “She was

clouded by depression and drugs.”

At the sentencing hearing, Brauchler referenced a slideshow that outlined key evidence in the case, including journal entries, text messages and photos taken by Higgins. He said that Higgins went to a friend’s house to try to obtain a gun.

“At the end of the day, judge, this is no victim. She made the decision that she made, she knew what she was doing and she took steps. This wasn’t just words,” Brauchler said.

Judge Paul King acknowledged certain factors of Higgins’ life that played a role in the case, including her home life and her parents’ divorce. He also recognized the problems Higgins had created in her life, including her choice of friends and her drug use.

“Some of the problems you have are vested on you by adults,” King said to Higgins. “Some of these problems lay squarely on your feet.

“Now every parent has to say, ‘Is my child going to be protected from being murdered by their fellow classmates?’

That’s not a joke, we in Colorado know that all too well.”

The Douglas County Planning Commission unanimously approved a location and extent — a process used for the review of proposed public facilities or uses — for Xcel Energy’s transmission line that would go through the Backcountry Wilderness Area.

The Highlands Ranch Community Association Board of Directors and delegates — individuals who represent Highlands Ranch neighborhoods — will have a final vote on the project on Feb. 21. The final vote is part of HRCA’s Community Involvement Process, which includes public meetings and feedback from the HRCA Board of Directors, delegates and community members.

“Xcel’s transmission line is currently going through the HRCA’s Community Involvement Process in order to give our community members an additional opportunity to learn about the project and provide input,” said Mark Giebel, director of the Backcountry Wilderness Area. “Working with Xcel, we have been able to reduce the disturbance area to less than five acres to minimize impact to the Backcountry.”

Xcel’s new transmission line would pass through the Backcountry Wilderness Area and end at the Daniels Park

MEETING DETAILS HRCA delegate meeting: 6:30 p.m., Feb. 21, Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 S. University Blvd. Regular board meeting following.

Substation, which sits east of Monarch Boulevard and north of Castle Pines Parkway. The line would require a 210foot easement from the HRCA. The majority of the new transmission line would be along an existing easement and next to an existing power line in the Backcountry, according to Giebel.

The overall project, which Xcel calls the Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line, includes 125 miles beginning at the Pawnee Substation near Brush — a city northeast of Denver — and ending at the Daniels Park Substation in the Backcountry. The project will cost an estimated $178 million and will cover Arapahoe and Douglas counties, the city of Aurora and the town of Parker.

The Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line is part of Colorado Senate Bill 07-100 portfolio of transmission lines and is a critical component of the Colorado long-range transmission plan to increase reliability and maintain energy costs, Xcel representatives said at a January HRCA board and delegate meeting.

Tri-County Health Department offers coupons for radon testing

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Kari Crist recently had her basement checked for radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. Crist, of Highlands Ranch, was spending more than 15 hours, seven days a week in an art studio in her basement. Her husband’s office is also located in that part of the home.

The level of radon in Crist’s basement was three times the limit. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends fixing homes that have levels at or above 4pCi/L. “Not something to mess with,” Crist wrote on a Facebook page called Word of Mouth Highlands Ranch. “And if you’ve already had it checked, check it again. It can turn up later.”

To encourage homeowners to test their homes for radon, Tri-County Health Department — which serves more than 1.4 million people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — is providing coupons for free radon test kits.

“Although there is no safe level of radon, a simple, inexpensive test will tell you if the home you live in or are intending to buy needs to be fixed,” a media release from Tri-County Health Department says.

Radon, a radioactive gas that forms naturally when radioactive metals break down in rocks, soil and groundwater, is the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion. People can be exposed to radon primarily from breathing radon in air that comes through cracks and gaps in buildings and homes, the CDC says.

According to the Tri-County Health Department, in Colorado approximately 500 people die annually from radoninduced lung cancer.

In Douglas County, 39.6 percent of household radon tests were above the recommended EPA action limit, as in Crist’s situation. In Adams County that rate was 24.2 percent and 44.4 percent in Arapahoe County.

Steven Chevalier, environmental health manager at Tri-County Health Department, recently bought a new home that had an average level of radon of 6.4 pCi/L. According to Tri-County Health Department, that number is comparable to having more than 200 chest X-rays every year.

“Investing in a radon mitigation system for $850 is a small price to pay for the health of our family,” Chevalier said in the media release. “The average price of a radon mitigation system in Colorado is $1,200.”

According to the EPA, the primary method used to reduce radon in a home is a vent pipe system and fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and vents it to the outside.

The system does not require major changes to a home, the EPA says, and is more efficient if foundation cracks and other openings are sealed.

Democrats want permanent funding for transportation Caveat that education spending must not be hurt is difficult part

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s Democratic House leadership said any effort to create a permanent funding source to improve the state’s congested road network must not sacrifice education spending.

On Feb. 8, a month into Colorado’s four-month legislative session, House Speaker Crisanta Duran told reporters she’s “optimistically cautious” that talks with leaders in the Republican-led Senate will produce a possible ballot measure on paying for roads to be referred to voters.

Transportation funding was declared a top priority in 2017 by lawmakers of both parties.

But a detailed proposal has yet to be introduced by anyone, and Senate Republican President Kevin Grantham suggested this week that talks have been difficult.

Colorado roads projDuran ects face a $9 billion backlog — plus a $1 billion maintenance bill each year.

Other government priorities, including making up for chronically underfunded K-12 spending, must not be further harmed by any Wist roads deal, Duran said.

Republicans have insisted that roads funding — especially issuing

bonds — be paid for from the general fund. Democrats say there’s no money to back bonds.

Complicating the task: General fund revenues will drop by at least $135 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1 because of a constitutional amendment that requires a reduction in residential property tax collections.

Already, per-pupil spending is set to decline by $122 under Gov. John Hickenlooper’s proposed 2017-18 fiscal year budget. Public education has been shortchanged for years under a budgeting gimmick that’s allowed the state to rack up an $876 million debt in that sector.

“We want to invest in transportation, but not at the expense of our kids,” Duran said. “It is imperative that we don’t continue to put a BandAid on our fiscal situation.”

State Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, was not impressed with what he

heard from Duran.

“Speaker Duran’s call for more taxpayer revenue without any offsetting tax reductions is a complete departure from constructive conversations with Republicans and shows she and the Democrats have given up on a fiscally responsible solution to transportation funding,” Wist said in a news release.

Duran revived an idea rejected this year and last by Republican leaders: Using income from a state hospital fund to create breathing room for more spending. That proposal, which could have added $750 million to the state budget last year, went nowhere in the 2016 legislative session.

The GOP considers the fund, paid by hospitals to get matching funds from the federal government, a tax that counts toward annual state revenue limits under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

History students utilize virtual reality STEM students gain lessons through high-tech gadgetry

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

STEM School and Academy 10thgraders are incorporating technology into what used to be book-driven subjects.

On a recent day in Owen Cegielski’s history class, students took turns wearing a black virtual reality headset. With the headset on, one student navigated through a virtual museum of ancient civilizations. Another went to Mars on a rocket ship.

“We can see the result of what we work on in our other classes here,” William Joslin said as he pulled up a computer program in which he

designed the museum.

Another group of students huddled around a small, clay head with gray hair, light-up eyes and a moving mouth. Art experts in Ceigielski’s class crafted the head to look like Wilhelm II, the last German emperor and a public figure of World War I. Engineering experts programmed the head to have similar mannerisms as Wilhelm and to respond to questions from individuals in the classroom — similar to the Google Home or Amazon Echo. Depending on the nature of the question, Wilhelm would declare war or not declare war The goal of the project, Ceigielski said, was to combine STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — principles into a history class.

“It resembles a real-world problem,” Ceigielski said. “It takes a solving team to solve a problem.”

STEM School and Academy social studies students use artificial intelligence to create a talking Kaiser Wilhem, the last German emperor, that responds to questions. The project demonstrated a problem-solving lesson on World War I. ALEX DEWIND

Two Douglas County schools recognized in app contest $15,000 prizes will go to winners chosen by fans, experts STAFF REPORT

Two Douglas County schools were recognized out of more than 1,800 teams across the country as finalists in the Verizon Innovative Learning app challenge, a nationwide contest challenging students to design a mobile app concept that will improve societal issues, according to a media release from Verizon.

Cimarron Middle School in Parker and STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch were awarded best in state for the middle and high school categories. Teams received $5,000 from

the Verizon Foundation along with tablets for each team member.

A group of seventh-grade students from Cimarron Middle School developed an app concept called “Care Packager” that allows users to ship requested items directly to a recipient.

The app is directed at men and women serving in the armed forces who need items from home.

A group of seven freshmen from STEM School and Academy crafted an app concept called “We the People” following last year’s election to help citizens access unbiased news on politics.

“Time constraints for citizens is what helped us come up with the idea to create a nonpartisan app that will efficiently inform citizens of the issues/candidates on the ballot,” team member Chase Babair wrote in a news release. “When there is not an elec-

Texting and driving bill advances in Legislature Penalties amended as measure moves to Senate Finance Committee STAFF REPORT

A bill to increase penalties for drivers convicted of distracted driving related to cellphone use passed the state Senate’s State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee on Feb. 8 by a 4-1 vote.

The committee amended some of the bill’s language and changed penalties assessed to drivers in an effort to gain more bipartisan support.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Lois

Court, D-Denver, originally included a fine of $500 and five points on the driver’s license for a first offense and a $750 fine and six points for a second or subsequent offense. Current law requires a $50 fine and one point for a first offense and a $100 fine and one point for subsequent offenses.

After it was rewritten, the bill calls for a penalty of a $300 fine and four points on the driver’s license per occurrence.

State Rep. Jovan Melton, D- Aurora, is sponsoring the bill in the House.

The next step for the bill is a vote by the Senate Finance Committee, scheduled for Feb. 16. Court is confident the bill will advance to the full Senate thereafter and move to the House by the end of the month.

tion, our app will provide unbiased news.”

The two teams are up for one of eight best in nation awards, determined by a panel of experts, and one fan favorite award, determined by public voting. The eight teams named best in nation and the one team

named fan favorite will win $15,000 for their schools and the chance to build their app concept into reality alongside experts from MIT. Winners will also receive an expenses-paid trip to the Technology Student Association (TSA) Conference in Orlando, Florida this June.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

In the past, all schools paid the same average amount for a teacher, calculated using his or her salary, plus benefits and retirement contributions.

Now, rather than using the districtwide average, that amount will be differentiated among the elementary, middle schools and high schools.

Because elementary teachers cost the district less, those schools would be able to hire more people with the same amount of money, district officials said. Middle school and high school teachers, however, would be more expensive to hire.

The town hall event was attended by several school district officials — interim Superintendent Erin Kane, Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz and assistant superintendents Steve Cook and Ted Knight. Two board of education members, Anne-Marie Lemieux and David Ray, attended. All seven school board members were invited.

The guests each had a chance to speak and then answer questions from the crowd.

The majority of questions centered on why more money needed to be directed to elementary schools, the lack of community input in the decision and ideas for solving the problem.

The district said it does not have plans for cuts to staff or programing at the secondary level at this time.

“I have seen these cuts come down the line in the past and they have been

February 16, 2017F

A BUDGET CHANGE A change was made to school-based budgeting that will impact the cost of teachers on each school. Instead of all schools paying the same average amount for a teacher during the budgeting process, now elementary, middle and high schools will be differentiated. All averages include salary, benefits and PERA. Projected 2017-18 average teacher cost:

Overall: $74,574

Middle school: $76,092

Elementary: $71,801

High school: $76,971

tough,” said Laura Mutton, a parent who also helped organize the town hall event.

Mutton has had children in the district since 2003 and said she has seen firsthand the impact of budgets, most notably during the recession in 2008 and 2009 when the district eliminated jobs in school services, transportation and high school education in an effort to save money.

Now, the district faces financial challenges, including rising costs to areas such as employee retirement (PERA), medical coverage, nursing and needed improvements for special needs and mental health care. Other increased costs include building repairs, salary increases and bonuses for teachers and staff, and technology and device refresh for schools.

State funding through per-pupil revenue is expected to stay flat or increase only slightly. The per-pupil funding for the 2016-17 school year is $7,163.

“Many of our schools have much lower enrollment then they used to have,” Kane said, adding that lower enrollment means less money at each building to combat rising costs. For

2016-17, DCSD’s enrollment is 67,470, up from 66,896 in 2015-16, according to the Colorado Department of Education. However, some elementary schools are experiencing declining enrollments, district officials say.

The district has projected the following schools in the Parker, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock will be under utilized in the 2017-18 school year: Pine Lane Elementary, Mountain View Primary Arrowwood Elementary, Larkspur Elementary, Mesa Middle School Ponderosa High School.

Other schools have been projected to be under unitized by the 2021-2022 school year: Northeast Intermediate, Trailblazer Elementary, Sierra MiddleSchool and Castle Rock Middle School Administrative cuts planned The deficit has been felt especially hard at the elementary level, where schools have struggled to afford specialists like art and music teachers on a full-time basis, Kane said.

Before any money is directed away from schools, Kane said the district will make cuts to central administration. The proposed 2017-18 budget will be presented at the Feb. 21 school board meeting along with a review of proposed cuts.

Cindy Barnard, of the group Taxpayers for Public Education, has been involved in the district as a volunteer for 18 years.

“The funds that I continue to see at the administrative level — funds that are not reaching students in our schools — is shocking,” she said.

While she did not attend the meeting, school board President Meghann Silverthorn spoke to Colorado Community Media before the event and voiced her confidence in the district’s ability to limit the impact on students.

“The superintendent and her staff are working hard to make next year’s budget as minimally impact-

ful as possible,” Silverthorn said.

“This means keeping programming and keeping funding cuts related to enrollment changes only. When I was first elected to the board, the district was nearly insolvent. Now, our expenditures are funded in cash and we have a healthy reserve and funds that can help schools keep programming available for students.”

Ray said it was unfortunate the community did not have a chance to give its input on the proposed changes until after they were made.

“I think we learned a lot. Lesson one is that when we have this kind of an impact on student learning, we need to slow the process down,” Ray said. “That means we need to be thinking thoroughly before making a decision.”

Take it to the ballot?

Douglas County residents said no the past two times school-funding issues made the ballot.

The community voted down a $200 million bond issue in 2011 that would have gone toward building three new schools in Castle Rock and Parker and a $29 million mill levy override that would have provided funding for instructional expenses and pay-for-performance for teachers.

In 2008, Douglas County voters rejected a $395 million bond issue and a $17 million mill levy override to support building new schools, improving student achievement, recruiting and retaining the workforce and improving the district’s technological advances in the face of expanded enrollment.

Kane said district staff is gathering data and will present options for a ballot measure to the public before the next school year.

“If we want to put a tax incentive on the ballot, we need to make sure that we convince you that we are going to be the best stewards possible of the money we have,” Ray said.

Cook said that the more the community and district can work together, the easier it will be to garner support for a possible tax measure from the public.

“If we are going to win over those voters, we need to show that we’re on the same page,” he said. “It’s a different day. Let us demonstrate the trust that we can show you. And if our actions aren’t showing it, call us on it. We’ll answer.”

Some find park conditions are for the birds

Canada geese and their - droppings pose a dilemma for groundskeepers

A GAGGLE OF FACTS • Canada geese call Colorado home yearround, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, but fall and winter see increased numbers as migratory birds come through.

• The geese are protected by both federal and state laws, but non-lethal control activities in which there is no direct contact can be done without permits. This includes hazing, or scaring the geese away.

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The south metro area’s parks and golf courses have become popular spots for Canada geese, frustrating many walkers, golfers and dog owners.

“Redstone Park is disgusting right now,” Highlands Ranch resident Carrie Comeford wrote on the Facebook page Word of Mouth Highlands Ranch. “There are so many droppings around the playground there... unsavory.”

Other than the geese themselves, the most visible sign of the birds is their waste blanketing the ground of parks, golf courses and sometimes, sidewalks. However, the geese, which are a protected species by both federal and state law, can also damage golf course greens by pecking through the surface to get to sand, which aids their digestion.

So why do the geese like it here so much?

“There are two things that attract them,” said Dave Brueggeman, parks manager for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. “Bod-

• Egg and nest control activities, including coating the eggs with oil to keep them from hatching, require permits.

Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch has a pond and open space making it a suitable place for geese to dwell.

South Suburban manages more than 2,000 acres of open space across the south metro area — primarily in the Littleton, Lone Tree and west Centennial areas — with 74 parks and four golf courses.

South Suburban controls geese by “hazing” them when they become a nuisance — using air horns or The Goosinator, a remote-controlled “predator,” to scare them away. But hazing must be done constantly in

order to keep the geese at bay.

“Resource-wise, it’s taxing,” Brueggeman said.

The Highlands Ranch Metro District uses a variety of tactics to attempt to scare geese away from Redstone Park, its largest complex, including coyote cutouts, balloons, streamers and remote-controlled devices, according parks and parkways manager Dirk Ambrose.

“Nothing seems to reliably work for very long, nor can we afford to have staff constantly move them

• Other methods to control geese on property, Parks and Wildlife says, can include landscape modification, such as planting trees, bushes or hedges between grassy areas and water, building barriers like fences or rock walls, not feeding them or using commercially available repellents. along,” he said in an email.

Jamie Noebel, community relations manager of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, said residents have complained about bird droppings in parks and on sidewalks.

Ambrose said that goose complaints typically rise when the spring sports season comes around.

WINNING WORDS

T

his week I would like to share a quick story with you about a boy and his journey and understanding of the bigger picture while finding purpose along the way to becoming a man.

His story starts out very sadly as his father dies in a car accident when the boy was only 5 years old. He had a brother and two sisters, so his father’s death left his mom alone to raise four children on her own. Friends and neighbors helped out as much as they could and were around often enough in the beginning, but as time went on, they had to tend to their own lives and families. Extended family played a huge part of helping to raise the young boy and his siblings; in particular, his

grandparents were extremely loving and supportive.

A few years went by and the young boy’s mother did remarry. However, it was an unhealthy marriage and there was plenty of trouble and hardships for the family. After enduring the marriage for 10 years his mother and stepfather divorced. Although difficult to get by and divorce is never easy, it was healthier for everyone. And within another two years, his mother remarried once again. This was also unfortunately a short-lived marriage as the boy, who by now was a teenager, watched as his mother’s newest husband and the family’s newest stepfather passed away unexpectedly one day while hanging the Christmas

lights on the outside of the house.

Throughout this young man’s life, his grandparents had raised him in the church.

However, as his life seemed to be filled with more struggles and misery than he felt he could handle, he was often conflicted with how he felt about the church and God. It seemed as though his friends and neighbors and cousins and other families had “normal” lives compared to his own life and he wondered for years why this was happening to him and his family. His patience eventually gave in to anger and resentment and he found himself shaking his fist at the sky and cursing and SEE NORTON, P13

Hey, speeders: There’s nothing pedestrian about this concern

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

live on a street named after a sobbing tree.

The street is a shortcut to a nearby high school.

The posted speed limit is 25 mph. But you wouldn’t know it, mornings, when the teenagers are on their way. Maybe they’re just late for school.

I wonder if they would rather be late for school, or headed to court, to appear in front of a judge on reckless driving and manslaughter charges?

My street is lined with children — little children. Now and then, they get away from a parent.

My street is lined with dog owners, who like to walk their dogs without the fear of turning into a couple of asphalt scabs.

There’s one old guy who walks his incontinent dachshund off and on all day long.

He’s the neighborhood Grinch, but he loves his dog.

The two of them are a familiar sight on my street.

They don’t walk very far on each trip. The dog is old and has very short legs.

In the morning this is what they hear: Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Teenagers, your first driver’s license, loud music, and obliviousness to the law all go together.

And that’s fine. Take it out somewhere else. Just not up and down subdivision streets that are lined with children and dogs.

John Kay is 72.

He was born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in East Prussia, Germany (now a part of Russia).

He and his family made their way to Canada, and then to the United States.

He wears sunglasses, indoors and outdoors, all day long. Kay is legally blind.

The punch line is that Kay and his band

Steppenwolf recorded a song that you could be listening to right now, as background for this column.

“Born to Be Wild” is everywhere. Maybe you first heard it when you watched “Easy Rider” in 1969.

Maybe you heard it again during the Coen brothers’ 2017 Super Bowl commercial.

It was a teenager’s anthem when I was a teenager, and it still is.

I was not, however, born to be wild.

At the age of 15, I turned 35. I didn’t want it, it just happened. There was something about a murder. I was a witness. I had to sit up straight and talk like an adult for the first time.

In 2001, I was shown a transcript of my testimony in 1963. It surprised me. I sounded good: complete sentences, with no fillers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Guns in schools a bad idea On Feb. 6, Senate Bill 17-005, a bill that would allow a county sheriff to provide training to educators seeking to carry a concealed weapon in school, led by state Sen. Chris Holbert, of Parker, and state Rep. Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, was approved in the Senate. As a school psychologist in a Douglas County school, and more importantly, the parent of Douglas County students, I have grave concerns as this bill moves forward.

Having worked over 20 years in public schools in both suburban schools and inner-city schools, including Richmond, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio, I have never felt the need or desire to carry a firearm on school property, and I might add that I have handled over a dozen types of firearms.

First, it is foolish to think that one can have easy access to a firearm to defend, and at the same time, guard against students also having access to the firearm. Studies show that

children are drawn to weapons and many will quickly figure out where firearms are located. Secondly, I have great doubts that all adults who carry handguns have the executive functioning skills required to discern level of threat and counter impulsive response when faced with a spectrum of stressful situations.

Our role as educators, principals, psychologists, social workers, etc. is not to be public defenders. Our role is, among other things, to create a climate of calm and thoughtful prob-

lem-solving. We try to teach students to work through problems through verbal exchange, not physical acts of violence. By carrying weapons on school grounds, not only do we create a stifling climate of hostility and a greater potential for accidental and purposeful gun shootings, we send a clear message that schools are no longer a safe place to thrive and learn.

Washington affects economic growth, with changes coming thick and fast

T

he new administration is well underway and there are changes in policy almost daily.

Congress is facing a packed legislative calendar during the first 100 days. It may be hard for the average person to keep up. Let’s review what we know so far and how it might affect the economy and investments.

The first pledge was to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Republicans have promised swift action on this priority although they have not formulated a specific plan as of this writing. They are working on the details of a replacement plan that would allow individuals to keep coverage during the implementation of the new reforms. Once a strategy is approved, it could still take several years to eliminate the current version of the ACA. The next top priority is regulatory reform. There have already been announcements about regulations ranging from FDA approval, corporate acquisitions, building codes, banking and even the Department of Labor client services rule that have been targeted. The theory is that less regulation will allow for higher growth. The question is, will there be a negative outcome for the consumer? Most of these regulations were designed for consumer protection, whether it be keeping corporations from becoming

yelling at God. As time went on, he eventually found his way back to church again, and he actually volunteered as one of the youth directors of the church. Every Friday night he would help the youth pastor lead the group. The youth group was open to everyone, not just members of that particular church. One Friday night a young girl showed up to attend youth group. She kept to herself most nights and was very quiet. And then one night, an opportunity came up that allowed the young man and the new girl attending the youth group meetings to talk. And as she shared her story, in that instant, the young man knew immediately that everything that had happened to him as he was growing up did not happen to punish him, but rather to prepare him for something bigger in his life. He was being prepared for this very moment with the young girl, and as he would find out later in life, he was also being prepared for many other opportunities just like it.

You see, the young girl shared with him that she was feeling bad, she was feeling hurt, and she was feeling sad and angry all at the same time. She had lost her mom, her father remarried, he later divorced, and then remarried again, and then unfortunately divorced again. She felt it was somehow her fault. She shared that her friends all seemed to live “normal” lives and seemed so much more stable.

She was tired of the way people looked at her and her family. She felt like she

so large there is no price competition or protecting investors’ wealth through rules created out of the 2008 financial crisis.

Many financial analysts agree that while deregulation can spur growth in the short term, it could add inflation and reduce consumer protection in the long

run.

Tax reform was a major campaign promise that now has settled on the back burner. This is upsetting many major corporate CEOs who were welcomed to the White House in the first weeks only to find that tax cuts have been pushed into late 2017 at the earliest.

At first glance, the Republican outline shows the current seven tax brackets being consolidated into three and some deductions going away.

There is also talk of repealing the current estate tax but adding some capital gains for assets over a certain size.

Again, this could spur some shortterm growth but the question remains if this is sustainable given our deficit.

Stricter immigration policy could slow growth and increase inflation as we have fewer workers willing to work

didn’t belong.

As the young man listened, with his own heart breaking as he was hearing his own life story played back to him, he was able to look her in the eye and not say, “I think I know how you feel.”

Instead he was able to say, “I know exactly how you feel.” He shared his own story and there was immediate trust amongst them. The young girl continued attending youth group, made many friends, and her own family life stabilized as she grew and matured as a person and in her faith.

And again, in that one instant, in that very moment, a boy, turned teenager, turned young man, realized that there really is a bigger picture, there really is a purpose, he was not here by accident, and that his own life story, even as tragic as it may have seemed, was leading him and preparing him for something far greater in life. And sometimes it takes years, maybe even many years for us to get past the anger, frustration, and pain before we can see and understand it all. We just have to be open to seeing it, or we may end up missing the opportunity to see the bigger picture and finding our own purpose.

How about you? Is something happening right now that is confusing, frustrating, and making it hard for you to see the bigger picture? I really would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can look through and even past the tragedies and triumphs of life so that we can see the bigger picture, it really will be a better than good week.

menial jobs for low pay. This along with a push for more infrastructure spending could stretch the employment picture, forcing wages and benefits higher to attract more American workers to these jobs. This in turn could fuel higher costs of goods and services as businesses ranging from retail to construction have higher overhead.

Trade agreements among a myriad of other agenda items remain uncertain. Historically both fiscal stimulus (tax cuts) and protectionist policies have tended to boost inflation.

Stimulus in the form of infrastructure spending typically provided the greatest benefit at the beginning of an economic cycle when unemployment is high and the economy has significant upside potential. The fact this is coming late in the cycle, when unemployment is low and we have been in recovery for eight years, is adding uncertainty that the outcome will be positive for America.

In summary, some of the new policies should spur economic growth but likely at the price of inflation, including taxing imports. Corporate earnings appear positive for the time being, but higher labor costs can put a damper on the length of the upward trend. Fewer regulations could lighten the cost structure of some industries, but not without additional risks to the consumer. Stay tuned … we are only a month into the new administration.

GEESE FROM PAGE 11

“Although it sure seems that the goose activity is on the rise this year, we have no hard data to confirm that,” he said.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said it is hard to tell if the goose population has risen in recent years, but, anecdotally, there does seem to be more lately. The fact that the metro area’s largest bodies of waters don’t freeze over during the winter is an attraction for the geese.

“We have open water all winter long so we have a heck of a lot of geese,” she said.

Tim Davis, superintendent at Englewood’s Broken Tee golf complex, said in an email that the problem seems bigger this year.

“It seems like every other golf course superintendent I talk to is dealing with a bigger mess than usual,” he said.

Davis said that Broken Tee currently uses pyrotechnic devices to scare the geese away, but that doesn’t prevent them from landing on the course in the first place.

Flashing strobe lights help deter them from nesting on the course’s ponds.

Brueggeman said another thing that South Suburban can do is to control nests, with permitting from Parks and Wildlife. This is done by coating the eggs with corn oil, preventing them from hatching. The

February 16, 2017F district is legally permitted to oil 200 eggs per year.

An alternative method to controlling geese that has emerged is to scare them away with trained dogs.

Tim Eubank, owner Littleton’s of Up & Away Goose Control, said that border collies are particularly effective because their behavior mimics that of the Arctic fox, a natural predator.

Eubank said he currently contracts with 12 apartment complexes, including one where an elderly woman was knocked down by an attacking goose, three golf courses, four churches and a business park.

He has also developed and marketed The Predator, a remote-controlled device similar to The Goosinator.

Davis said that Broken Tee is working on a program to allow owners of herding breed dogs to train them on the course. He said dogs are typically the most effective form of goose hazing. He is also considering purchasing a remote-controlled device, which he says he has used effectively at another course he worked at.

Churchill said trained dogs have proven successful and are allowed as long as they don’t harm the geese.

Eubank’s dogs are trained not to touch the geese, but the geese don’t know that.

“We’re just politely asking the geese to go hang out somewhere else,” Eubank said.

One of Tim Eubank’s dogs approaches geese. Eubank owns Up & Away Goose Control, which uses trained border collies to scare the birds off golf courses and other properties.

Highlands Ranch woman elected chair of Doulgas County Democrats STAFF REPORT

Maritza Carrera, a longtime Democrat from Highlands Ranch, was elected chair of the Douglas County Democrats at a reorganization meeting on Feb. 4 at ThunderRidge High School.

Carrera and her husband Christian founded HR Dems, a grassroots organization that connects Democrats of Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Roxborough, in 2004. Over the past 13 years, more than 1,000 new Democrats have participated in Highlands Ranch Democratic meetings, according to a media release from the Douglas County Democrats.

“In Douglas County, I see the grassroots movement filled with passion and enthusiasm,” Carrera said in the media release. “These next two years we will harness this energy and create a vibrant grassroots movement. “ Carrera became a precinct captain in 2003. She was also nominated as

chair of House District 43 — which encompasses parts of Highlands Ranch — and became part of the Douglas County Democrats Executive Committee.

Carrera was elected as the Highlands Ranch District captain from 2004 to 2008. Most recently, she served as the first vice Carrera chair of Douglas Country Democrats and remains on the Colorado State Party Executive Committee.

In addition to her work in Douglas County, Carrera has been involved with the Arapahoe County Latina Initiative, a means to increase Latino participation in the political process.

She is also working on creating a progressive women’s group.

“One of her overall goals is to connect with neighboring counties and create a strong progressive community,” the media release says.

GUNS FROM PAGE 4

Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel were opposed.

While all of the board members agreed that 17-1036 was likely to die in the House, each thought it was import to advocate for their point of view in the school safety debate.

“This piece of legislation is not outside the realm of what is acceptable by the people of Douglas County,” Peck said.

“The only thing that will stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun.”

Ray rejected this line of thinking.

“I philosophically do not believe that when you put more guns in a place it makes it safer,” Ray said.

Vogel argued that the district already employs armed security personnel and that “there is no need to go beyond that.”

Lemieux raised questions about the potential liability and risks associated with allowing teachers to be armed on school grounds.

“Our teachers are not equipped to do this,” she said. “This is not what they went to school for.”

Geddes, while supporting the bill, said he preferred a more comprehensive solution that would see armed and trained security personnel in every school in the district.

“I think there are other ways to protect our schools,” Geddes said.

“We could be the world’s leader in safe schools.”

Reynolds, who said she grew up around firearms, said she supported the bill on principle and that “people should be able to protect themselves.”

DCSD has employed armed security officers since 2003.

In addition, in 2013, the district began its School Marshal Program, in partnership with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker police departments.

Officers and deputies provide security at elementary and middle schools by making multiple daily unannounced visits.

The Douglas County School District comprises 87 schools and about 67,000 students.

SENATE FROM PAGE 4

to bring a handgun on campus, was voted down on a 6-3 party-line vote in a House committee on Feb. 8. Its sponsors were Patrick Neville and state Rep. Kim Ransom, R-Acres Green, and state Sen. Tim Neville, R-Jefferson County.

“I believe teachers should focus on teaching and nurturing our children, not act as armed security,” state Rep. Susan Lontine, D-Denver, told the committee, according to a news release.

Chris Gdowski, superintendent for Adams 12 Five Star Schools, said arming his employees is not something he’s interested in doing. His district has plenty of safety protocols in place.

“Due to our existing safety policies, the presence of our school resource

officers in school buildings, and other safety and security staff throughout our district, state legislation on weapon use in schools is not an avenue we are interested in pursuing at this time,” Gdowski said.

Also on Feb. 8, two additional gunrelated bills were killed in a House committee on party-line votes. HB 17-1037 would have added businesses to the locations that may be lawfully defended with lethal force if an owner or employee felt sufficiently threatened. HB 17-1097 would have repealed the prohibition on the sale of largecapacity ammunition magazines.

“Once again, Democrats showed their opposition to the Second Amendment and dismissed calls from millions of Coloradans to help improve school, workplace and individual safety,” Patrick Neville said in a news release.

fter the bus drops her off from school, London Branch, 5, runs to her Little Free Library box to look for a new

book.

“It is almost like a treasure box, you never know what you are going to discover,” said Fernando Branch, London’s father.

Rewind to spring break 2016. Fernando, a principal at Noel Community Art School, decided to spend his weeklong break to complete a project with his daughters that would benefit the community.

Despite the cold weather and 1-yearold daughter Lauren’s persistence in stealing the wood glue, Fernando and his family built their Little Free Library and put it up in front of their home on South Madison Circle in Centennial in mid-January.

Building the box is a memory he will always have with his daughters, Fernando said. London adores keeping track of what is new. For both of his daughters, their favorite book found in their library, so far, has been “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle.

“She runs over there to see if some-

NOT JUST FOR YOUNG FAMILIES Young families are not the only Little Free Library lovers. Josh Beers, 17, from Golden employed his Boy Scout troup to build some for the community.

Each year, Boy Scouts plan, fund and complete service projects to earn their Eagle Scout badges. Josh’s mom told him about a Little Free Library she came across on her walk and, after some research, Josh decided to make a few for his service project.

MAKE YOUR OWN ganized members from Troop 130 in Golden to construct three little libraries.

“I organized everything and taught everyone what to do,” Josh said. “It was really easy.”

On littlefreelibrary.org, a variety of alreadybuilt library hutches are available for purchase. For those interested in building a Little Free Library, the website offers resources, support and inspiration.

After planting the libraries in front of a church, an apartment complex and within a community, Josh found that each library is sustaining itself.

In addition, you can find the Little Free Library nearest to you by going to the same website and clicking on “map.”

one has put something in there that she wants,” Fernando said. “I love to see that it started an enthusiasm for reading in her.”

Fernando also is excited about the response from his neighbors.

“While I was out there with the girls measuring, people would stop and ask what we were doing,” Fernando said.

“It started so many conversations.”

Conversations at the box go beyond a friendly “hello.” He finds the Little Free Library to be a way for people to learn about the diversities found in his own neighborhood. He believes it brings people together with similarities.

“When we engage in these projects with our families, it encourages the American values that we share,” Fernando said. “The core of reading is

education. As a society, we are really quick to point out the differences of us all. But if we focus on the love of the things we share in common, like the love to read and educate ourselves — that is a unifier.”

The Little Free Library is, at its core, a small-scale neighborhood book exchange. A structure sheltering between 20 to 60 books is built or purchased by a community member and planted in the community.

Whoever comes across a Little Free Library is welcome to either take a book or leave a book. Margret Aldrich, media and programming director at the Little Free Library nonprofit organization, based in Hudson, Wisconsin, said the library becomes self-sustaining.

All family-friendly reading materials

“I liked the idea of a self-sufficient library,” Josh said. “It was like an experiment.”

In late January, the Little Free Library started the Action Book Club. This club encourages participants to engage with their community by reading books on timely topics, engaging in lively conversations and committing to community service projects. Different book clubs can communicate online. To sign up an Action Book Club of your own, visit littlefreelibrary.org/actionbookclub.

are welcome in the exchange. Self-help, Westerns, science fiction, picture books and many more genres are encouraged to circulate through the libraries.

The first Little Free Library was built in Hudson, Wisconsin, in 2009 by Tod Bol in tribute to his book-loving mother.

The Little Free Library became a nonprofit in 2012.

Swallow Hill gives new songwriters a chance to shine ne of the trickiest things about being a musician is getting your music out there where people can actually

hear it.

And while there’s a slew of online platforms to host music for free, that doesn’t mean people will hear it.

That’s where Swallow Hill Music comes in.

For the ninth year, the organization is hosting its annual Young Writers Competition for performers in middle and high school.

“Submissions have to be original lyrics that can be performed live,” said Cheri Gonzales, director of Swallow Hill’s school operations. “The biggest prize for our winners is the opportunity to perform at our venues, and to have some time in a professional recording studio.”

But for Thomas Koenigs, who won the contest in 2015, there was a greater prize.

“Winning wasn’t the most important thing, although it was very gratifying,” he remembered. “For me, the best part was meeting all these people, and making some crazy important connections.”

countries. Colorado is home to more than 600 Little Free Libraries. According to Aldrich, the libraries become community hubs.

There is no style guide dictating the appearance of a Little Free Library. Though the usual structure resembles a birdhouse or a dollhouse, people are encouraged to be creative.

There are Little Free Libraries y that are brightly painted or shaped like robots, police-call boxes, whales, log cabins and rowboats.

A $40 registration fee puts the library on the website’s official community map and database. The company sends an

sions until 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24.

Gonzales said the nonprofit usually receives about 20 to 30 submissions, and from there 10 contestants are selected to perform live on April 1, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Denver.

Clarke Reader There are no genre limitations for entry, and over the years participants have included a cappella, solo singer-songwriters, duos and groups.

“It’s really whatever the performer feels is the best way to express themselves,” she said. “We’ve had people who take the Bob Dylan, solo acoustic guitar route, to multi-instrumentalists who are able to pull off really dynamic performances.”

For Koenigs, music was a way to channel his interest in writing and appreciation for artists like Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

“I’d taken some rock classes, but had only written some basic chord progressions,” he said. “It was nerve-

The trend also helps the homeless, who may not have access to books at conventional libraries because they have no address, Aldrich said.

Love at first sight Five years ago, Todd Walsh, his wife and their two daughters spent a vacation visiting friends. During a walk, they discovered a Little Free Library. The family instantly fell in love with the idea.

Three summers later, Walsh was hammering the nails into his own Little Free Library for his home on West Applewood Knolls Drive in Lakewood.

“Where we live in Lakewood, our house is right on the corner and it is a popular route to a park,” Walsh said.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Ryan Adams’ “Prisoner” released on Pax Am/Blue Note records.

Review: Adams’ first album of new material since 2014, “Prisoner” is a moving and heartfelt exploration of loves ending and beginning, at least partly inspired by his divorce from Mandy Moore in 2015. The album showcases some of Adams’ best and most devastating songwriting, and anyone wracking to get up and perform something I had written, but everyone was so friendly, and helped me get better.”

The professional performance and recording opportunities are a great boon to its winners, Gonzales said, but any occasion to play music live is a plus.

“For a lot of contestants, they’re just getting started in the professional music process,” she said. “Giving them a chance to put their work out there is very important, and we make sure everyone is very encouraging throughout the process.”

Currently, Koenigs is studying English literature, but the people he met in the competition are still a part of his life.

“We have a lot of foot traffic.”

The Slater Elementary School teacher only had time to work on the project while his daughters Maya, 6, and Nora, 4, were napping.

While working on the project, Walsh’s neighbor walked across the street to see what was going on. The two discussed the Little Free Library and decided that their neighborhood needed not one, but two of the book hubs.

Walsh completed both projects after a month of work. One is dedicated solely to housing children’s books while the other, directly across the street, holds books for teen and adult readers.

“It has been amazing and we have loved it,” Walsh said. “It has been a great way for us to meet people. It is a great conversation starter. We watch

who has suffered a broken heart while find a line or two that hits like a punch to the gut. But for both Adams and the listener, there’s also beauty and release to be found in music.

Favorite song: “Shiver and Shake” Best homage to Bruce Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love”: “Tightrope” “The whole environment for this was so supportive,” he said. “There’s no downside to taking a chance and trying this.”

from the windows and love seeing families on bike rides stop and take books.”

Walsh did not stop building at two little libraries. The Slater Elementary sixthgraders, as a tradition, leave a contribution to their school before advancing to middle school. They commissioned Walsh in 2016 to make a Little Free Library for the school.

To this day, passersby knock on Walsh’s door and ask him about the little library outside his home. Many people ask him to make a little library for their neighborhoods miles away.

“It really is a conversation starter,” Walsh said.

“Normally someone might say ‘hello,’ but now we have gotten to know so many of our neighbors because we have something to talk about.”

London and Lauren Branch helped their father, Fernando, build a Little Free Library for the Centennial neighborhood they live in.

Time for better health care fix The guest column by Joe Sammen demands a response.

I find it very ironic he cites studies that the repeal of the ACA without replacement would lead to millions uninsured and replacement must contain certain protections. Where was this concern when millions lost coverage at the implementation of the ACA in the first place? The implementation of the ACA had to rely on deception (Pelosi: “We have to pass the law to find out what’s in the law”), and lies (Obama: “If you like your plan you can keep you plan; if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”) to become law in the first place.

Yes, pre-existing coverage and adult children staying on parents’ plans until 26 are the good parts of the ACA. And they should be part of any new replacement plan. But the answer was to not upend coverage for 100 percent of the population to solve a problem for 10-15 percent of the population. There were much better alternative fixes for the 10-15 percent that lacked coverage than what the ACA did to everyone else.

Bad move by senator I wrote our Senator, Cory Gardner, J and implored him to not vote for Betsy Q DeVos as education secretary. I based myv argument on the confirmation hearings l where she displayed an almost complete 2 T ignorance of public school issues. a At the time of my writing the letf ter, I was unaware of the Center for American Progress report listing Cory i L Gardner as a recipient of $49,800 in campaign contributions from the DeVos L family. Had I known that, I would have asked him to recuse himself from the f f vote because of ethics violations.

To the credit of Sen. Gardner’s staff, b H shortly after his vote to confirm, I received a reply where he praises her as being a “long-time advocate for educa- w tion reform.” He apparently is unaware f that in Douglas County our school board has made “education reform” a dirty word that means to destroy our public schools.

Mother-daughter duo explore issues surrounding end of life Libby and Patty Bortz give presentation at Mizel Center

Libby Bortz and her daughter, Patty Bortz, have developed a program they call “The Last Chapter” about the value of discussing latelife decisions while one can talk about one’s wishes clearly.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Sooner or later, I’m going to lose my parents,” said Patty Bortz by way of introduction in a discussion of end-of-life issues. “Let me introduce my mother, Libby Bortz, mentor and best friend, who serves on many boards, including hospital ethics and admissions committee for the medical school … (she is well-known in Littleton, her longtime hometown for work on housing, including the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center, political involvement, service to Arapahoe Community College and much more).

Libby spoke of her daughter: “mother, lawyer, serves on many boards, school activist … She suggested this presentation,” which they have named “The Last Chapter.” They spoke at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center in Denver, a Jewish Family Service program, on Jan. 10 and plan to make further presentations in the metro area “Friends say they and their parents are not willing to talk (about end-oflife issues),” the octogenarian Libby said. “Why is it important? Are there resources? The most challenging parts

l

of this stage include pain, loss of energy, feeling invisible, divesting things, finding clothes that fit. I will need to move out of my home, funerals, losing the ability to participate. When I was younger, I created organizations. Now, I’m more of a passenger.”

Libby continued: “I’m not afraid of dying, makeup is optional, investment in health insurance is paying off — How lucky I am that saying goodbye will be so hard.”

Patty picked up the train of thought: “At 58, I’m caring for my father, who is confused and struggling. I’ve watched my parents give up skiing. (Libby only last year.) My parents have lost a lot of friends … spend a lot of emotional and physical energy fighting (aging).”

‘All That Jazz’ concert set for Lone Tree Arts Center

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Concert Band conductor Jacinda Bouton has announced that Queen City Jazz Band will be the invited guests at the bands’ Feb. 26 collaborative concert, “All That Jazz,” at 2:30 p.m. at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

The two bands will play separately and together for an afternoon of joyful music, beginning with “Symphonic Dances from `West Side Story’” by Leonard Bernstein, arranged by Paul Lavender.

Queen City Jazz Band, QCJB, will follow with a group of selections from its sizable repertoire, followed by the two bands playing “Buddy’s Habits” together.

Following intermission, the DCB will perform Gary Zeik’s “Burnin,’” followed by 10 minutes of QCJB selec-

“I thought I could direct my life by having that conversation now, help avoid possible conflict. I have seen families fight about `what mother would have wanted’ and fall apart — about life support, for example. Then depression can be somewhat diminished and we can focus on the living we’ve done,” Libby responded.

Patty acknowledged “a real sense of relief in sharing a plan for the future.

We will be better able to handle it. I will be a better support.”

Libby drew laughs when she said, “Put me in a lovely piece of pottery and keep me where the action is …”

“How will I divide with my brother?” Patty bounced back, then asked, “What matters most now? As different from 20 years ago?”

Reply: “What matters most is that I have your help, have my friends, not suffer much …”

“The role I play — I can’t give as much time as you’d like,” Patty observed.

“With my own mother, I was part of the `sandwich generation. Patty, I know you have your own needs, family, I can’t promise `no guilt,” but it’s OK.” They recommended a book called “The Other Talk,” from AARP, a serious talk with one’s doctor, which Medicare pays for, a look at alternatives to driving (Uber, Lyft).

Writing may be easier than talking, as in “What matters the most to me is … What do you want the most from my home — i.e, a piece of art?”

“It’s never too soon — Boomers should talk to their teens,” Patty said. “Life is like a roll of toilet paper — the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!”

Final words of advice from both: “Get things accessible, including DNR (do not resuscitate) forms if you have them. There are bracelets.

Some have it tattooed on their chests … They recommended “Life Alert” as a resource in case you fall and the kids are out of town, and a magnet on the fridge with a plastic bag containing DNR form, list of medications …

Learn about palliative care and other medical resources. Use a mediator if the kids disagree.

(We will hope to announce future presentations.)

CIRQUE MONTAGE

When flying small, it pays to be a member MemberJets makes private aviation more available

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 25 years of flying and 8,000 hours in the sky, pilot Ty Carter saw a gap in the aviation industry: the expense of private flight.

Three years ago in Overland Park, Kansas, Carter launched MemberJets, proprietary software that connects single seats on a private aircraft to individuals at a lower cost and with greater efficiency.

“Typically, private aviation is extremely expensive and aimed toward the uber-wealthy,” Carter said. “We are reimagining traveling for people.”

The MemberJets software links Part 135 aircraft operators — on-demand carriers — to individuals seeking private aviation services. The system uses a kind of liscensing that allows the aircraft operator to sell individual seats, something that a Part 135 operator had not been able to do.

As members interact about desired destinations and are able to share the private aircraft, the trip becomes more affordable.

According to privatefly.com, using a private jet typically costs between $5,600 and $160,000. A round-trip flight using MemberJets costs the same as a first-class commercial ticket plus 15 percent, Carter said.

In mid-January, MemberJets took Colorado under its wing by teaming with two new operators: International Jet, based at Centennial Airport and Mountain Aviation, headquartered at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield and operating in Fort Collins, Centennial, Vail, Eagle and Telluride.

Carter said a trip will not be booked unless it is profitable for the flight company.

Sam Gilliss, vice president and general manager of International Jet, said their planes typically have six to eight seats on them. Almost all the seats need to be filled in order for the trip to be profitable.

“On hearing about their program, I think they have a great concept that could serve a segment of a marketplace that has not been served yet,” Gilliss said. “We are excited to help them get this new program off the ground. It becomes a win-win for everybody if everyone can understand and see the benefits of flying in a private jet.”

Members pay for their seats on each flight in addition to an annual fee.

As of Jan. 25, MemberJets’ annual membership prices dropped from $1,500 to $250. Only members can use the service.

Carter said that the lower price will attract more members, increasing success for plane operators and making it easier to fill a member’s desired flight.

“The more people who are accessing the system and the more people who are working together, the better the

COURTESY PHOTO system will be,” Carter said.

The flights offered, called shuttle flights, are typically day trips to a specific destination. After choosing a destination, a member can reach out to family, co-workers and MemberJets members to attract interested parties.

MemberJets offers “journeys” to their members. Depending on the operator, a journey, for example, could be a day-long trip to an out-of-state basketball game in which tickets are included in the MemberJets aviation price.

Carter said that MemberJets is member-driven, meaning if a member requests a specific trip or location of frequent travel, the company will work to make it possible.

Carter said that because members have already undergone a background check, there is no security.

Members park next to the aircraft and are in the air within minutes.

Minors do not have to purchase a membership, but their seats still need to be purchased.

The private flights travel to 5,000 airports that commercial aviation cannot reach, taking them closer to their destination, Carter said. There are no additional fees for parking or checking luggage and members can park feet from their airplane.

“At the end of the day, what we are trying to do is open up private aviation to a new demographic,” Carter said. “Between commercial and private today, there is nothing that bridges that financial gap. What we are trying to do is bridge that gap so individuals can have the benefits of private aviation.”

Buntport started with one plan before switching to another

a

The Buntport company explains in the beginning of the program that members had started writing a different play, collaboratively, as they always do.

“But a few months ago, we made an abrupt shift, choosing to make something that felt more tied to the times.

Besides the current climate, we took inspiration from ‘Prometheus Bound,’ a story of what happens when someone defies the king of the gods.” They were joined by “the incomparable Jim Hunt” as the creative process moved forward, becoming “The Zeus Problem,” which will play through Feb. 25 at Denver’s Buntport Theater.

Looking spiffy in a purple suit, Zeus (Jim Hunt) struts in front of the audience, backed by a black curtain — asking if they like his suit! He then gets fussy — “You need me, but I most definitely don’t need you … You’re like a bunch of disgusting artichokes!”

He goes on to explain that he “needs new suits all the time … worship causes bloating … The rise (front seam where zipper is located) is not do do easily altered … I start there and build y it y C n t o mmu C o m m u ni the whole suit around it …” He soon changes into baggy sweatpants.

We hear dramatic, loud, stormy music and Zeus (who is given to throwing lightning bolts around) opens the curtain, revealing the scene.

The stage is dominated by a huge wooden table, where Io (Erin Rollman), Prometheus (Erik Edborg) and a noisy, fussy eagle, in an outstanding costume (Hannah Duggan), are To provide the most accurate results by geographical area, Colorado gathered at one end.

Liver buffet?” Zeus responds, “You didn’t receive a formal invitation? Did anybody? … Let’s play a game …”

Prometheus is a god who crossed Zeus’ wishes and stole fire from the home of the gods to give to the humans he was charged with creating out of clay. He is punished by being chained to a rock and the eagle keeps eating his liver, which keeps rejuvenating. “No onions!” the eagle complains. “Ever done a liver detox?”

Zeus gave Prometheus’ brother the trouble-making Pandora, with her box of troubles. “That was not nice,” Io observes.

Prometheus periodically quotes from Aeschylus’ poetic account of the story.

“I’m so hungry,” Io keeps complaining — “I think I’ll just place an order!” (Io was an Argive princess whom Zeus lusted after. To hide her from the jealous goddess Hera, Zeus turned Io into a white heifer.)

“People don’t deal with me — I deal with them!” Zeus declares. “I want this story to get told without casting a negative light on yours truly.”

“Aeschylus’ account doesn’t include Zeus — or an eagle,” Thoreau states.

More lightning here! “When you fill your bellies, you forget about the gods,” Zeus complains — and with that, he closes the curtain on the others, telling the audience, “I don’t think you’re artichokes …”

This most clever crew offers their view inspired by the daily headlines, enhanced by lightning bolts and artichokes. A quick mythology refresher would add to enjoyment perhaps, but it’s not necessary.

Class boosts health, outlook of people with cancer South Suburban program helps participants find encouragement from others

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes, just one chair stand without assistance is the greatest victory, Sandy Dickman said.

Dickman, a certified cancer exercise specialist and personal trainer for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, leads a group fitness class designed specifically for people with cancer.

- Living Well with Cancer is a 75-minute class that adult cancer patients can attend twice a week. It has been part of the Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial for 13 years.

Cancer patients from all over the south metro area attend the class.

“Exercise is medicine,” Dickman said.

New participants go through a one-on-one assessment with Dickman. The assessment covers agility, strength, cardiovascular and overall physical ability. It is used to create a personalized exercise program for the participant’s differing goals and needs.

“Everyone is different,” Dickman said. “It is based on what kind of cancer they have. Some are in treatment, others Dickman are out of treatment.”

Cardiovascular, strength, flexibility and core fitness are the focuses of the classes, which are $5 per session.

The class registration is renewed monthly. Dickman recommends committing at least six months to the program to see signs of improvement. There are approximately 12 people in the program each month.

Anyone who currently has or

once had cancer can join the class.

The goal, Dickman said, is to work with people going through treatment. She said some people cannot take the class because of the physical strain that treatments can have.

The reason exercise is so good for cancer patients, Dickman said, is that it stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps filter out impurities in the body.

Dickman said the class is not for mourning or feeling down about having cancer.

“We call it a support group on the move, but it’s not depressing,” Dickman said. “If you have ever been to a support group, you know it is depressing. Everyone goes in and tells their sad story, and it is a sad story. But if you want to get better, you need something more positive than that.”

Some people have participated in the program for years. Dickman said it becomes part of their lives.

“I have been involved with this

We maintain a positive and upbeat attitude due to (Dickman’s) guidance as she keeps us moving. I always leave class glad that I attended that day.”

Valor Christian sophomore Lindsay Stenstrom celebrates after winning the 50 yard freestyle at the Class 4A State Championships Feb. 11 at the Eldora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins. Stenstrom also swam of the Eagles winning 400 yard freestyle relay team as defending state champion Valor finished second in the team standings to Cheyenne Mountain.

Valor takes second at 4A state meet Rock Canyon finished sixth in Class 5A

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s girls swimming team walked out of the Eldora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins with another trophy.

However, this one was a runnerup plaque — not the state championship hardware the school won last year.

Cheyenne Mountain, loaded with depth, won the Class 4A State Swimming Championships that concluded Feb. 11 after amassing 308 points. Valor was second with 276 and Jefferson County League 4A rival Evergreen finished third with 230 points.

“Second isn’t bad. I am really so proud,” Valor Christian coach Lori Stenstrom said. “The girls really had to swim and dive to the best of their ability to come away with that beautiful trophy and they did it.”

The Eagles had two individual champions in sophomore Lindsay Stenstrom in the 50-yard freestyle and junior diver Izzy Mroz. Stenstrom also swam on Valor’s state champion 400 freestyle relay team along with Ella Kirschke, Madison Hoehn and Abbey Owenby.

“The 50-free champion is my daughter and she watched her big sister do this before and she did an amazing job,” said coach Stenstrom. “Izzy is just so talented. We obviously had high hopes for her and were absolutely celebrating all she was able to do.”

Lindsay Stenstrom was excited and expressed her feelings after

winning the 50 free and she joined her sister Brooke, now a freshman at Stanford, who won three individual state championships and swam on two title-winning relay teams.

“It’s the most amazing feeling in the world to be a state champion, and I just want to give God all the glory and I’m so happy I got to experience it with my team,” Lindsay said. “I did pretty well. There were a few things I could have done better but I couldn’t ask for anything more than the opportunity I had to achieve.”

Mroz led all three rounds of the diving and finished with 484.65 points.

“I’m so excited to do it for the team, which is like a family,” she said. “All I thought about was dive by dive, get through it and do my best.

remember years ago, 29 to be exact, being in the Denver North gym for a memorable night of high school basketball.

Manual’s Chucky Sproling set a singleOVERTIME game state record by scoring 74 points against the Vikings.

Alameda’s boys basketball coach Henry Aguilar probably won’t forget the evening he spent in the North gym Feb. 6, when the Pirates Jim Benton outlasted North, 95-93, in a four-overtime, non-league game.

“It was like playing two games, it was a long night,” said Aguilar, who assumed the Alameda head coaching reins less than three weeks before the start of the season.

“The win kind of helps bring us together. We’ve had a rough season.

Four starters fouled out of the game against North and everybody was completely exhausted. We had to play the fourth overtime with four sophomores and one senior starter.

That was tough.”

The win helped boost Alameda’s overall record to 9-10.

“The first overtime, they were up by two and our senior guard Anthony Lawson drove to the basket and hit two clutch free throws to send it to the second overtime,” Aguilar explained. “In the second overtime, we had a two-point lead with like 20 seconds left and a younger guy took a shot when he wasn’t supposed to.

The North point guard took it all the way and got a layup and sent it to the third overtime.

“We hit two free throws and sent it to the last overtime. In the fourth overtime, four starters fouled out so we had four reserves. A couple of our younger players stepped up. A sophomore, Domonic Creazzi, hit a clutch three, we got fouled a couple times and made some free throws and ended up winning.”

Heritage hires Eberle Heritage has hired Hannah Eberle as its new volleyball coach.

Eberle is a Ralston Valley graduate and a former Mustangs junior varsity coach.

She replaces Jana Barrett, who stepped away after compiling a 11-330 record over the past two seasons.

Local wrestlers advance to state tournament Ponderosa third, Mountain Vista fourth at regional meet

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The announcer frequently called the names of Ponderosa and Mountain Vista wrestlers as the Mustangs and Golden Eagles earned points and claimed honors at the Feb. 10 and 11 Class 5A Region 2 Wrestling Tournament at Legacy High School.

Wrestlers earned team points for wins and the top four wrestlers in each weight division earned the right to compete in the state tournament Feb 16-18 at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

Brighton won the team title with 271 points and Legacy was second with 207.5 points, with Ponderosa finishing third with 161 points and Mountain Vista fourth with 123 points.

Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis said the season got off to an interesting start.

“We had a state placer then we got hit by the injury bug that includes a serious injury that sidelined a state finalist for the season,” he said.

“But gradually we started getting healthy, started getting every back and that is when we started hitting on all cylinders. Today, we came in thinking we could have seven or eight qualifiers, but we lost some matches we probably should have won. But we’ll be taking some quality wrestlers downtown to the state meet next week.”

Three Mustangs won regional championships: Parker Benekas at 145 pounds, Jayden Woodruff at 182 pounds and defending state champion Cohl Schultz at 220 pounds.

A trio of Ponderosa wrestlers — Thomas Dixon at 120 pounds, Daniel Turco at 152 pounds and Korry Tunnicliff at 160 pounds — all earned fourth place in their weight divisions and also advanced to the state tournament.

Schultz, a sophomore, said his

‘I took up wrestling because it is the only sport mentioned in the Bible.’

Trent Schultz, Mountain Vista senior dad wrestled in high school and his older brother wrestled, so he wrestled too.

“My brother and I have been wrestling since we were about 3 years old,” he said. “Wrestling is my only sport and I think I am a lot better wrestler now than I was at this time last year. I move a lot better than I

did last year and I have opened up my offense.”

He said he said he knows his strengths and knows what he wants to do as he goes into each match.

Mountain Vista had five wrestlers qualify for state, including senior Trent Schultz, Cohl Schultz’s older brother.

“I took up wrestling because it is the only sport mentioned in the Bible,” he said. “My younger brother and I grew up wrestling together. We wrestled each other for about 14 years but now he is wrestling for Ponderosa.”

He said he won the state title last year and now he is focused on defending that title.

“Last year, I doubted myself even though I was ranked No. 1,” he said. “I won the title and now I am focused on defending that title this year because I feel I have something to prove.”

Schultz will be joined at state by four teammates. Preston Weaver won the 126-pound title, Nolan Stritchko was second at 145 and two Golden Eagles finished fourth, Roger Meyer at 132 pounds and Nico Gonzalez at 285 pounds.

Giving heartbreak a beatdown Kickboxing studio gives women a chance to shred angry memories

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was the night before Valentine’s Day at iLoveKickboxing in Parker, and though there was plenty of heavy breathing, the only roses in sight were reduced to petals strewn about the floor.

Nearly 30 women gathered for the gym’s annual Shred Your Ex workout session. Participants brought photos of ex-spouses, ex-lovers or printouts of negative words and ideas and taped them to punching bags before punching and kicking the images to shreds.

“It’s a night for them to focus on one thing that’s troubled them in their life,” instructor Haley McDonald said. “It’s also just a night to have fun, take it out on the bag and leave with a smile.”

Hearts were pumping and ears were ringing throughout the hourlong session, as the drumming of gloved fists and bare feet hitting the bags beat an erratic rhythm under McDonald’s shouting and a DJ’s blaring music.

Marie Hopper drove from Green Valley Ranch to get in on the work-

Ali Daily works out her frustrations during a workout session at iLoveKickboxing in Parker. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, the gym hosted its Shred Your Ex event in which attendees beat up on photos of their exes.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY out. She brought two printouts, one of the word “tax,” and one of President Trump.

“It’s just the perfect picture,” Hopper said. “He looks like he wants to fight, so we’re going to do this.”

The session ended with a combination of hoots and gasps for breath as the boxers dropped their gloves and reached for their water bottles.

Mouths that had been twisted in determination opened into smiles, hands that were clenched into fists relaxed for a round of high-fives.

“It’s just such an adrenaline rush,” said Amy Buoniconti of Parker, who brought a printout of the word “negativity,” and punched it to bits.

“The first 15 minutes is pure hell,” she said “Then it’s fun.”

Karen Olsen kicks a punching bag labeled with a sign encouraging her to “kick cancer’s butt” during the Shred Your Ex event at iLoveKickboxing in Parker. Some participants, like Olsen, brought printouts of negative words and concepts, while others brought photos of their ex-boyfriends or exlovers as they took out their aggression with gloved fists and bare feet.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

I was unwild in college. The song has never suited me, and Steppenwolf was never one of my favorite bands.

However, I took to “Steppenwolf ” the novel, because it was about me, it seemed, and it became the theme of my master’s thesis.

The middle-aged man, Harry Haller, in “Steppenwolf ” was not born to be wild either.
