MY NAME IS

KATHLEEN BRACKEN

Kathleen Bracken is a mother of two, wife and photographer who specializes in newborns, maternity and senior and family portraits.

Photographer particularly loves taking pictures of newborns About me I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I went to college at the University of Illinois and studied elementary education. I got a master’s degree in English as a second language from Concordia University Chicago.

In 2008, I became really interested in photography and started taking courses. People started asking me to take their pictures, so I was working as a full-time teacher and doing photography on the weekends.

We moved out to Colorado and had two kids, and after my second child I decided to switch over to photography full time.

My love for photography I have a studio in my basement where I do most of my newborn shoots and indoor sessions. I usually take photos around Highlands Ranch — there are so many great parks and locations with mountain views.

My business is mostly word of mouth and people who see my work on social media.

My focus is newborns, families, engagements and seniors. I love newborns — it is such an honor to take a photo of a little baby and be a part of someone’s life in that week or two after birth. I have two kids so I know — they only look like a newborn for that short period of time. I treasure my

COURTESY PHOTO

newborn photos and I want to create that same feeling for others.

I donate two or three photography packages to local schools for fundraisers. I like to support schools because I was a teacher and know how much money they need. And it’s fun to get to know people in the community.

Our community I love that it is so family-oriented. We go to library story time, we love the rec centers, there are parks everywhere. I get to walk my daughter to preschool every morning. This community was clearly made for families.

Cement truck causes road closures High speeds contributed to rollover, authorities say STAFF REPORT

A cement truck going too fast as it turned from northbound Highway 85 onto eastbound Highlands Ranch Parkway tipped over and caused road closures the afternoon of April 11, authorities said.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, the cement truck lost control as it was turning right onto Highlands Ranch

Parkway from Highway 85 and rolled over. The truck struck two vehicles that were in the left turn lane. There were no injuries.

Crews from the Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the accident, which occurred about 2:48 p.m. Crews remained on scene hours later to clean up spilled cement.

Eastbound Highlands Ranch Parkway remained closed until late in the afternoon.

The driver of the truck was cited with careless driving.

NEWS IN A HURRY C-470 open house The Colorado Department of Transportation will host an open house on the progress of the C-470 express lane project on April 26.

The project, which began late last year, will add toll lanes, with two of them westbound between I-25 and Colorado Boulevard and one from Colorado Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard, and one eastbound toll lane from Platte Canyon Road to I-25.

In addition to the express lanes, upgrades will include pavement reconstruction, auxiliary lanes at certain locations, curve realignment, widening or replacement of bridges, and grade separations for the C-470 multi-use trail that runs parallel to the freeway. Work is expected to be completed in 2019.

The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Highlands Ranch at 1050 Plaza Drive.

Rising home values, decreasing taxes may not be a good thing

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rising home equity and decreasing property tax rates sound like a win-win for Colorado homeowners.

But Douglas County Assessor Lisa Frizell warns there is a downside.

“It’s kind of a nice thing because our taxes won’t increase,” she said. “But there are some underlying problems with it.”

Those underlying problems, she said, are adding up.

Frizell “What we’re going to see is this perfect storm that’s been 27 years in the making,” Frizell said. “It’s always been expected that the growth would pay for itself, but that’s not the case.”

Gallagher sets the stage Property tax assessment rates have been falling despite increasing property values. The reason, in short, is an amendment to the state Constitution that limits the amount of revenue that can be collected from homeowners.

Lower assessment rates mean the local districts collect less revenue to fund schools and other government services. As the population and demand for those services increase, mill levies for schools and fees for other services like water and sanitation will have to increase to cover the shortfall, Frizell said.

A report from the Legislative Council, released April 17, sets the assessment rate for 2017-18 at 7.2 percent. While the rate is not as low as economists predicted, localities across the state will still miss out on more than $5.4 billion that could be used for schools and other services.

The Gallagher Amendment, a little-known provision passed in 1982, set a system for establishing tax assessment rates for residential and nonresidential properties, such as farms and commercial space, every two years.

The amendment also provides that the amount of revenue collected from residential property taxes must always be lower than the amount from nonresidential property taxes at an approximate ratio of 45 percent to 55 percent.

A home’s market value is multiplied by the assessment rate to calculate how much of the property’s value is taxed. For example, the owner of a $350,000 home pays taxes on $27,860 of the home’s value, based on the current assessment rate of 7.96 percent.

The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in March for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to March 2016.

Greenwood Village: $1.17 million (+5.9 percent) Lone Tree: $775,000 (+16 percent) Castle Pines: $693,750 (+19 percent) Golden: $576,118 (+5.7 percent) Castle Rock: $469,975 (+13.3 percent) Highlands Ranch: $465,000 (+3.1 percent) Parker: $465,000 (+3.3 percent) Elizabeth: $455,000 (+1.3 percent) Littleton: $435,000 (+8.7 percent) Centennial: $432,500 (+8.1 percent) Denver: $412,000 (+2.6 percent) Metro average: $406,000 (+7.9 percent) Arvada: $401,500 (+7.1 percent) Lakewood: $397,500 (+7.6 percent) Englewood: $393,000 (+10.3 percent) Wheat Ridge: $385,500 (+7.1 percent) Westminster: $369,950 (+11.9 percent) Thornton: $356,000 (+9.5 percent) Aurora: $334,000 (+8.1 percent) Northglenn: $310,000 (+12.7 percent)

Enter TABOR Property values have been increasing since the housing market’s recovery, so assessment rates should be on the rise as well. But rates continue to drop because of another amendment to the Colorado Constitution, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

Passed in 1992, TABOR mandates that any tax increase be approved by voters. So far, no state legislator has been willing to introduce a bill to increase assessment rates, and thereby increase taxes on homeowners.

“It was not seen as a particularly positive thing,” Frizell said. “We did hit a time frame, beginning in 2005, where the calculated rate actually increased, but because TABOR restricts increasing (rates), the Legislature opted not to take that to a vote of the people.”

Messages of hope, joy have Highlands Ranch rockin’ Residents bring positivity to the community through painted stones

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

John Jazwa was walking his dog on a recent day near the Highlands Ranch Mansion when he stumbled upon a small rock with the word “Trust” painted on it. The message was fitting for that point in time.

“I was having a rough day and saw that rock,” Jazwa said. “It was like a divine intervention.”

Jazwa is one of many Highlands Ranch residents who, over the past two weeks, have spotted painted rocks with inspirational messages or playful images hidden around the community.

Suzanne Gentry, the resident who started the trend, was visiting Texas with her family last year when her 15-year-old son found a small colored rock in an outdoor mall. The back of the rock read “Keep or rehide.” So her son kept it.

After doing some research, Gentry

Highlands Ranch Rocks is a Facebook group that encourages residents to paint small rocks and place them in popular areas of the community, such as parks and parking lots.

PHOTO COURTESY FACEBOOK/HIGHLANDS RANCH ROCKS found that the rock was part of a trend storming cities across the country, in which people paint rocks with encouraging words, colorful animals and other imagery, then hide them to be found by others in the hopes of spreading a little joy.

Martha Stewart Living, a lifestyle magazine and television brand, calls the phenomenon a “nationwide scavenger hunt meant to promote positivity and kindness.” About 500 rockpainting groups are scattered across the country.

And now, Gentry is bringing the activity to Highlands Ranch.

“The main thing is to brighten someone’s day,” she said.

Gentry, a mother of two boys, started a Facebook page called Highlands Ranch Rocks about two weeks ago. The goal is for members to post photos and locations of the rocks that they find around the community — in parks, along sidewalks, in parking lots.

Gentry buys her white pebble-like rocks at Home Depot. She encour-

ages anyone who participates to write “Highlands Ranch Rocks” and “Keep, leave or rehide” on the back.

Residents are taking a liking to the trend.

The Facebook page, which has about 190 members, is growing every day.

Members post photos of the rocks they have painted, which are decorated with everything from paint splats to intricate animals. Some people post on the page to express their excitement of finding a colorful rock.

“My new hobby is painting rocks with my daughter and sipping on a glass of wine,” resident Lindsay Mayhall wrote on the page.

Mayhall, who has two young daughters, spends about four nights a week painting rocks. When she and her girls are out walking, she places the rocks in places that other residents will see, such as Redstone Park. The activity is now a family affair that happens around the dining table.

Mayhall hopes that the rock-hiding activity has a deeper impact on community residents.

“You have no idea what someone is going through,” she said. “This is a way to possibly bring up someone’s spirits.”

Car crashes into Highlands Ranch Post Office

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A motorist has been cited with careless driving after crashing into the front side of the United States Postal Service in Highlands Ranch, located off South University Boulevard and South Quebec Street.

According to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the driver, while stopped in the parking lot of the post office, stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake. The accident happened at about 12:30 p.m. April 17.

The vehicle went through the front window of the building. There were no injuries to the driver or anyone inside the building.

The post office remained open.

Banquet shows bond between students, educators Church hosts 18th annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Austin Harris, a senior at Mountain Vista High School, stood on stage next to his beloved teacher, Mary DeBolt. A presenter read aloud a speech that Harris prepared for DeBolt that described their relationship.

“She got me a $5 gift card for Valentine’s Day for being her teacher assistant,” the speech read.

The crowd of more than 100 high school seniors, teachers and family members chuckled as Harris and DeBolt hugged and left the stage. Another teacher-student pair took the spotlight, followed by about 50 more.

The accolades from high school seniors were part of the 18th annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet, hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Highlands Ranch Stake building, 9800 Foothills Canyon Blvd. The Mormon church has 11 congregations in Highlands Ranch with about 4,000 members.

The Teacher Appreciation Banquet started in 1999, shortly after the Foothills Canyon Boulevard church was built, as a way to recognize educators in the community.

“As a church, we have such a strong focus on education,” said Brandon Wilcox, a counselor of the Highlands Ranch Stake, or division, of the church. “You can’t do enough for teachers — they give and give.”

The goal of the annual event is for a senior who is in the church to honor a teacher — from any high school in Highlands Ranch — who has had a significant impact on his or her life. Teachers receive a framed picture with the student’s tribute and a photograph.

The students’ remarks, which are read to the crowd, include everything from compliments to amusing memories to struggles and hardships.

“You helped me see my selfworth,” one student said at the April 12 event.

“You have become one of the most trusted individuals in my life,” another said.

Rock Canyon High School senior Kenneth Groom hugs his teacher, Janna Robinett, after expressing his gratitude for her. The duo were one of about 100 teacher-student pairs that took the stage at the annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet on April 12.

“I’m really going to miss you,” multiple students said.

Laughter and tears followed the emotional tributes as students embraced or shook hands with their mentors.

Shannon Vance, an English teacher at Mountain Vista High School, was recognized for helping a student with dyslexia. Highlands Ranch is filled with supportive and caring families, the teacher of six years said.

“It felt nice to hear the accolades,” Vance said. “I felt very valued.”

Though the high school seniors are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many guests and teachers in attendance at the April 12 banquet were not.

Among them was Wendy Vogel, a Douglas County School District Board of Education director. Vogel has attended the event for the past two years, since she was elected to the board. She has two children in high school.

“Education can be a thankless career,” Vogel said. “It is so important to let teachers know that they

Easter egg hunt draws a crowd STAFF REPORT

Dozens of families assembled at Northridge Park last Saturday for the annual Easter Egg Hunt, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

The sea of plastic, colorful eggs that covered the grassy field didn’t

stay for long. Children one to 11 years old carried baskets and raced to collect as many treat-filled eggs as possible over the half-hour period.

Guests enjoyed sunshine, vendors and photo opportunities.

To top off the morning, the Easter bunny made a surprise appearance.

are valued — I encourage my kids to thank and appreciate their teachers.”

Rock Canyon High School Principal Andy Abner, who has been in education for 20 years, thanked the church for its continued effort to organize the banquet. He challenged

seniors to reach out to their teachers and coaches as time passes.

Write a letter, or a note, he said.

“Let them know their importance,” Abner said. “Educators go beyond planning and instructions — they go to that place of love and care.”

Families and friends gather at Northridge Park, 8800 S Broadway, for the annual Easter egg hunt presented by the Highlands Ranch Community Association. Ages 1-11 years old filled their baskets with colorful eggs and enjoyed a visit from the Easter Bunny at the April 15 event.

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 4

assessment rate fell to 7.96 percent, where it stood until April 17, when it was set at 7.2 percent to prevent collecting more revenues than needed to maintain the 45-55 split.

The conflict between TABOR and Gallagher, and the revenue shortage it’s created, are a lot to decipher, and state Rep. Brittany Pettersen, DLakewood, said voters aren’t to blame if they don’t fully grasp the predicament.

“The math doesn’t make sense,” Pettersen said. “Our economy in Colorado is doing very well, yet we’re seeing cuts to our budget like we’re in a recession... It’s just such a complicated confusing mess.”

Pettersen added that cuts to the education budget affect availability of programs in elementary and secondary schools, as well as how much the state covers for college tuition.

Colorado Senate Majority Leader

‘Our economy in Colorado is doing very well, yet we’re seeing cuts to our budget like we’re in a recession.’

State Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said he approved TABOR and Gallagher, believing they were intended to give voters more control over how their tax dollars are spent. But he said that since most homeowners pay their property taxes through an escrow account at their bank, they may not think twice about the issue.

“People probably say ‘Yay! Less taxes,’ but these are the primary funding sources for our schools,” Holbert said. “People may not put those two together.”

‘What are you doing?’

Frizell believes the issue requires citizen engagement, and added that she’s seen more involvement from the electorate since the 2016 election. “I would love for them to ask the question of their state legislators: `What are you doing?’ “ Holbert and Pettersen agreed that any change in the state Constitution will have to start at the grassroots level.

Pettersen said she has some hope that legislators can reach across the aisle to work on a solution, provided voters initiate the process.

“We need enough pressure from our constituents to do something,” Pettersen said. “Anything that’s solved at the state Capitol comes from our constituents.”

Holbert said he thinks voters would reject any legislation perceived as a simple tax increase, but added that they may feel differently if they understood how paying less in property taxes can q lead to higher mill levies.

F “If a school district needs more m money,” Holbert said, “the residents of i that district need to understand that m they could increase the mill or they can b p go back and work toward increasing the property tax assessment rate... It might be a question people would say p r yes to if they understood it.”

Frizell said it may seem unlikely that C Coloradans will ask the Legislature to p raise their taxes, but it may be the only W a way out of the conundrum.

“I don’t like paying taxes any more t than anyone else, but at the same time p you have to pay for the services you’re i d getting,” Frizell said. “Sometimes, if something seems too good to be true, it a is.”

Fertilizer: arch enemy of waterways.

Streams, lakes and reservoirs don’t need it. Your lawn may not need it, either. Fertilizer, like other products that serve a necessary purpose, can become a problem if misused. Most lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented by a three-number string on the front of the bag. Nutrient needs vary from lawn to lawn and can only be determined by testing the soil. If over-applied, rain carries away excess nutrients not needed by plants and washes them to the nearest waterway, causing excess algae growth that uses up vital oxygen for fish.

Please take the time to have your soil tested to determine your lawn’s needs. This simple, small change in your lawn care makes a huge difference, not only to the health of your lawn but also to your nearby rivers, creeks and lakes.

In-store kiosks a prescription for drug safety WHERE IS THE NEAREST KIOSK?

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s attorney general and a quartet of mayors from around the Front Range said they are hoping metal drug collection kiosks set up in the back of 11 Walgreens pharmacies will help protect teens, cut back on the national drug crisis and protect the state’s water supply.

“Folks really need this kind of program around the state of Colorado,” Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said during an April 12 press conference at a Thornton Walgreens at Colorado Boulevard and 120th Avenue. “Walgreens has taken a lead in helping us deal with prescription drug abuse by providing a safe and convenient way to dispose of prescription medications and controlled substances.”

Coffman was joined by Thornton Mayor Heidi Williams, Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky, Wheat Ridge Mayor Joyce Jay and Aurora Mayor pro tem Angela Lawson.

Seventy-one percent of people nationally who reportedly abused prescription drugs obtained them from a relative, Coffman said.

“In many cases, they were in a medicine cabinet that was easily accessible,” she said. “We know this can be the beginning of a lifelong habit.”

One solution is to get rid of drugs

Area Walgreens pharmacies with medication disposal kiosks can be found at: Aurora - 12051 E. Mississippi Ave. Brighton - 1821 E. Bridge St. Colorado Springs - 3480 N. Academy Blvd.

Denver - 1111 S. Colorado Blvd.

Fort Collins - 2190 W. Drake Road Grand Junction - 240 W. Park Drive Highlands Ranch - 9141 S. Broadway Longmont - 1041 Main St. Pueblo - 2900 W. Northern Ave. Thornton - 4001 E. 120th Ave. Wheat Ridge - 4401 Wadsworth Blvd.

A complete list of collection box locations, as well as a map of the state, is available at www.takemedsback.org. when they’re no longer needed.

Perri Schneider, Walgreens’ Colorado health care supervisor, said the company has installed the metal kiosks in the back of 11 stores around the state to do that. People can drop

off unused or expired prescription medicine safely and securely with no questions asked. The program is part of a national effort that placed 550 boxes in Walgreens around the country beginning last fall.

“I think we’d like to have these in all of our stores nationwide,” Schneider said. “But for now, to roll them out in every state, they’ve started with 11 in Colorado and some in every state.”

The boxes have been in place in Colorado and nationally since September, but the April 12 press conference was their official debut in Colorado.

“They’ve placed them strategically to be as convenient for the customer as possible,” Schneider said.

Convenience is a big deal, Coffman said, and it’s important for people to associate disposing of old medicine in the same places where they first picked them up.

“We hope to introduce a new behavior in Colorado,” Coffman said.

“We want people to get into the habit of bringing their medications back to the place where they got them.

It’s a simple idea, but one that could have a very valuable impact and save lives in our state.”

The 11 boxes in Colorado Walgreens are among 73 similar boxes at other locations around the state, Coffman said. Prescription medicine collection boxes can be found at

some hospitals and police stations and at some private pharmacies.

A complete list of collection box locations, as well as a map of the state, is available at www.takemedsback.org.

Thornton Mayor Williams said her city’s police department hosts regular drug take-back events, and this is a good supplement.

“Maybe it’s a bit daunting, or just out of the way, to go to the police department,” she said. “I hope people will come in here and drop off their excess medication while they are shopping and decrease the accessibility that we’ve seen.”

Wheat Ridge Mayor Jay thanked the company for putting the collection point in her city, close to two senior citizen communities.

“You can bet that those medicine cabinets have a lot of drugs in them, outdated or not, which just creates more confusion for seniors as well,” she said.

Greenwood Village’s Rakowsky said the boxes are important for environmental reasons, as well.

Most people’s method for disposing of old medicine involves dumping it down the toilet bowl, but that can put all kinds of chemicals into the watershed.

“It’s very important to protect our water supply, and this is one way to protect it,” Rakowsky said. “Please, keep that in mind, too.”

Congressman holds town hall with strict rules Republican Mike Coffman hosts event in Aurora after catching flak in January

BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI ASSOCIATED PRESS

It was one of the most exclusive tickets in town: Only 800 were made available, and those lucky enough to score one had to show photo ID at the gate, where they were issued a wristband and a number. No signs bigger than a sheet of notebook paper were allowed, so as not to obscure anyone’s view.

The rules weren’t for a rock concert but for a town hall meeting the evening of April 12 in Aurora between Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and constituents.

Town halls have become a risky proposition for GOP members of Congress since President Donald Trump’s election. Liberal groups and constituents angry about the Trump agenda have flooded public meetings, asking their representatives tough questions, chanting, heckling them and even shouting them down in skirmishes that have made for embarrassing online video.

As a result, some Republicans

aren’t holding town halls. And some of those who are going ahead with such events are taking steps to keep things from getting out of control.

In Texas, Rep. John Culberson barred signs and noisemakers from a March 24 town hall, required those attending to prove they were Coffman constituents by showing utility bills or other documents, and insisted that questions be submitted in advance. He was still shouted down repeatedly by a crowd angry about the GOP push to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In Arkansas, Rep. French Hill scheduled his first town hall of the year for April 17 — but in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday, and with the state’s Republican junior senator, Tom Cotton, at his side. Nevada’s Dean Heller, one of the more vulnerable GOP senators in 2018, also scheduled his first town hall of 2017 for April 17, in the morning. And he, too, is apparently seeking safety in numbers by including Republican Rep. Mark Amodei.

Democrats, for their part, have felt the heat from anti-Trump constituents at town halls and are also taking precautions. Democratic

Sen. Kamala Harris of California, for example, banned signs at her town hall in Los Angeles this week.

Coffman is a politician perennially on the hot seat in the 6th Congressional District, which encompasses Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and parts of Adams County, among other areas. His swing district has slightly more Democrats than Republicans, and he is always a top target in elections. For years, he has avoided town halls, instead holding private, one-on-one meetings with constituents during “office hours”’ at libraries in his district.

In January, one of those events was flooded by hundreds of constituents and activists who filled the library lobby, sang, chanted and demanded Coffman emerge from his private conversations to address them. The congressman ended up slipping out the back.

One of the rules for his April 12 town hall was no standing in the aisles or blocking entrances and exits.

The contentious town hall was moderated by a local radio host Steffan Tubbs, who voted for Coffman and urged hecklers to “respect the guidelines.” Coffman earned some cheers when he spoke of his support for rights for gays and immigrants.

But he also got a fair amount of scorn from those who contended he was not standing up enough to Trump.

“When I disagree with the president, I will speak out,” Coffman said in response to a pointed question about his support for Trumpbacked legislation. “But I’m not going to do it every day. ... Those of you on the extreme left will never be satisfied until Trump” leaves office.

Smadar Belkind Gerson, an activist in Coffman’s district who was helping to organize protests outside the town hall, said that she was glad Coffman moved to a more open format but that he has a long way to go. The event, she noted, was scheduled to last only an hour — though Coffman stayed for nearly a second hour — and Coffman’s staff planned to draw numbers to determine which constituent could ask questions.

“Yes, people are upset,” Gerson said. “But the more you do this and the more you restrict people, the more they will be upset.”

Coffman held two town halls via telephone before the April 12 inperson event. Those appearances are far more controlled, with questions submitted in advance and an operator cutting off the questioner so the politician can respond.

Smitty’s veterinarian isn’t just kind — he’s truly one-of-a-kind

QUIET DESPERATION

O

utside of a dog,” Groucho Marx said, “a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark too read.”

I thought about becoming a veterinarian. But I don’t have what it takes, and it takes a lot.

Your veterinarian knows everything there is to know about the maintenance and repair of all kinds and ages of dogs and cats.

But that’s not enough.

A veterinarian has to be able to tell a 6-yearold or a 60-year-old that their best friend didn’t make it through surgery.

I couldn’t do it.

Most of us have outlived a number of pets.

I have purchased, adopted, rescued, fed,

housed and named chameleons, gerbils, turtles, fish, a cockatiel, a conure (parrot), a pigeon (bad idea) and two dachshunds.

There have been cremations, funerals and flushes, and it’s always a Bad Day at Black Rock.

The expiration of a goldfish is one thing, and perhaps it’s a beneficial learning experience about life and death when you are young.

However, the death of a dog or a cat is much more than that.

On the bright side of pet ownership, there are men and women who are trained and willing to help with the well-being of our pets.

And to do it with compassion.

My dachshund has a veterinarian exactly

like that. His name is Dr. Bruce Bowman.

He opened his Highlands Ranch clinic in 1985, when Highlands Ranch was one of Denver’s distant neighbors.

The pet care profession requires sacrifices that most of us would be unable to make.

The around-the-clock operations of one (great) boarding kennel in Watkins have essentially curtailed the free time of its owners.

At least my college students went home at night.

I think that 20 or 30 sleepover Smittys would be endearing in its way, but approximating a Tim Burton nightmare as well.

ig Ziglar, one of the world’s greatest and most recognizable faces, voices, and names in the history of motivation WINNING and personal development, WORDS was from Yazoo City, Mississippi.

Zig used to love to talk about his hometown and share just how small of a place Yazoo City was.

And then he would tie that Michael Norton story to a really relevant point to connect the end of his funny description.

Zig would share with the audience that he could prove that Yazoo City was indeed the center of the universe, and then he would go on to explain and rationalize his statement by saying that because you can get anywhere and go anywhere you wanted from his small town, that must mean that you can go anywhere in life you wanted to go from wherever you are. The choice was always up to the listener.

I am remembering this now story because the other day I was on a conference call and one

of the participants was actually in Yazoo City. And when I shared with her that I had heard Yazoo City was the center of the universe and you can go anywhere you want to go from there, she quickly replied, “Oh no you cannot.” As I tried to share Zig’s story, she continued to argue against the point and it was obvious to see how she may be somewhat representative of many of us who have become jaded in some way, or maybe even lost our own center of the universe.

So that got me to thinking about the situation here in our very own country. Every day the Republicans are pointing at the Democrats and the Democrats are pointing back at the Republicans. It seems like the truth can be really elusive. And we all know the truth can always be found somewhere in the middle.

This is not an article meant to fix a broken political system, but rather to remind us all that perhaps we have gotten a little too far from center. The taboo used to be, and maybe still is in some places, that we should never discuss money, politics, or religion in certain situations, or maybe even never at all. Well

now we have taken this philosophy to an extreme. I know couples who cannot discuss politics or it erupts in a terrible argument.

I have heard of couples becoming separated and possibly divorced as they cannot find their way back to center.

And this lack of center when it comes to the state of money, politics and religion has even caused tremendous strife and chasm between siblings, friends, and the closest of partners or co-workers.

We have become so focused on the extreme far side of a problem that we have lost sight of the center right in front of us, our spouses, our children and our family and friends.

to trim the profits and weed out the dead weight to prepare for opportunities. The old adage of buy low and sell high sounds simple, but most investors do not take the time to take profits at these record highs.

Buying low requires some research to determine what categories are expected to perform in the future that may be undervalued currently.

Knowing the difference between a buying opportunity and a lost cause is tricky.

Review your taxes and determine how you can improve your situation for the remaining eight months of the year. Maximize your 401(k) plan or fund your IRA to reduce your taxable income.

Update your withholding at work to avoid getting too much money back or owing. Take a look at your investments. Are they spinning off too much taxable income such as dividends and interest? Is there a way to convert some investments to more tax efficient positions?

Take a hard look at your investment statements. Do you see large profits that pushed some positions beyond your original guidelines for risk? What are the chances that a high performer can continue at that same pace all year? Many investors already earned more than half what they did during all of 2016. Do you hold positions where that level of return is sustainable? If not, it is time to rebalance.

Evaluate your financial goals.

Make certain your investment portfolio still matches your goals.

They could be from the left side or from the right side, it doesn’t matter because my focus is and should be on the relationship that is the center of my universe.

So how about you, do prefer the extreme periphery or do you enjoy the center of your universe? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can place those who live in the center of our hearts right in front of us, it really will be a better than good week.

returns for the last 14 months. See if it makes sense to re-allocate some of your holdings to protect gains and be ready to take advantage of a market downturn.

Be aware of the political situation worldwide and understand this can impact your investments going forward. Strained relations with Russia and Syria could create an unexpected downturn in economies across the globe.

Elections in France and later this year in Germany could impact the Eurozone, especially after the British exit. How will this affect the strength of the dollar, trading and foreign holdings?

What is happening in Washington that would cause the economy to slow down or the markets to take a rest here? There is a lot going on that we can’t predict the outcome of very well. There is always opportunity in uncertainty. But in order to be ready to take advantage of that, you need to get your financial house in order. Review your goals, strategy and holdings.

Trim the profits and weed out the dead weight to make room for new possibilities for growth.

Perhaps it is time for a plan update or second opinion of your accounts. Then when you file everything away you are ready to enjoy the springtime.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

Dr. Bowman is always direct and thorough when he informs me about Smitty’s conditions. The most impressive thing might be how well he communicates what needs to be done, and what my options are.

“Communication,” he said, “can be the hardest part in medicine. We weren’t trained in compassion.

“Sometimes the best surgeon is the worst in translating doctorspeak to humans.”

Smitty had his teeth cleaned recently. It’s a big deal for a dog, and I had to sign off on it.

He had some other work done at the same time. A growth was removed from one upper eyelid, along with a couple of benign bumps that belied his handsome exterior.

Of course, as the father, I worried about the dear fellow all day, until I picked him up.

He was fine. He ate some homework, drank a beverage, and took a long nap. Business as usual.

The day will come, because the day has come before, when I won’t bring my friend back home.

Maybe he will take it upon himself, or I might have to rely upon Dr. Bowman. Or, better, one of those in-home services.

If I have the opportunity, that’s what I will do. We’ll listen to Saint-Saëns’ “The Carnival of the Animals,” Smitty’s favorite, and I will read Dickens to him, like I do every night.

World Veterinary Day is Saturday, April 29. Let’s paws to celebrate.

HOPE Online gets improvement plan from state board School faced hearing after years of low ratings by state

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

HOPE Online and the Colorado State Board of Education have agreed on an improvement program that will see the school’s board of directors expand from five to seven members and will include a management partnership to support teacher and leadership development.

HOPE Online, a K-12 multidistrict online charter school that has been authorized by the Douglas County School district since 2008, went before the state board April 13 in a first-of-its kind hearing after being marked in the bottom two tiers of the state accountability ratings for more than five years.

“This is the first time we’ve reached the end of the accountability clock,” said Brenda Bautsch, head of the Colorado Department of Education’s accountability, performance and support division.

The CDE found that “persistent challenges with student performance are present at both the elementary and middle level, in English language arts and math achievement and growth.”

Hope Online Learning Academy Elementary School earned a Turnaround rating from 201014. In 2016, the school earned a Priority Improvement rating for the first time. Hope Online Learning Academy Middle School has fluctuated between “Priority Improvement” and “Turnaround” over the past six years. HOPE also offers a high school program, which was not under review.

Districts and schools assigned to a Priority Improvement or Turnaround plan have the lowest performing student outcomes of all districts and schools in Colorado, according to the state’s primary accountability tool, the District and School Performance Framework.

The ratings are based on academic achievement, growth and post-secondary and workforce readiness. Districts and schools on Priority Improvement or Turnaround plans tend to be falling short of state expectations for students in each of these areas.

“We think that with the improvement plan we will see

changes and are optimistic that they will be heading in the right direction,” Bautsch said.

The process will take several years, Bautsch said.

The worse-case scenario for the hearing would have been for the board to direct DCSD to revoke the HOPE charter, which would have effectively closed the school. State law is silent on what happens if the school fails to improve under the new plan, CDE said.

There will be no financial penalties for HOPE. HOPE Online first opened in 2005-06 and was authorized by the Vilas School District in southeast Colorado until it transferred to Douglas County in 2008. The majority of HOPE Students come from outside the Douglas County School District.

“The Douglas County School District is the authorizer of HOPE Online Learning Academy, and will monitor and provide ongoing support as HOPE implements their plan with the involvement of an external management team,” the district said in an email. “It is important to note Douglas County School District will also be evaluating HOPE’s application for renewal of its charter in the spring of 2018. We believe HOPE is

committed to improving learning environments for students in all of their learning centers across the state.”

The model HOPE Online uses differs from the fully virtual model in which students receive instruction remotely. Students enrolled in HOPE Online attend brick-and-mortar learning centers every day on a set, full-day schedule.

HOPE Online has 26 learning centers in 11 school districts in Colorado. The Douglas County center is in Castle Rock.

The elementary and middle schools enroll 1,788 students, according to the CDE. In a letter of support to the state board, DCSD Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn expressed her support for HOPE. “As the president of the Board of Education of HOPE’s authorizer, the Douglas County School District, I am proud of all that HOPE brings to a special population of children across the state,” she wrote. “DCSD supports HOPE in its mission to provide a quality academic alternative to parents and students.

We take our role very seriously and we will continue to work with HOPE as it implements appropriate improvement actions.”

Colleges brew up a new degree

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DEGREES IN BEER

Sales of craft beer rose 6.2 percent in the United States in 2016, according to the Brewers Association, a craft beer industry trade group.

Colorado has long been at the forefront of the brewing industry, and the state boasts about 300 craft breweries, says the Colorado Brewers Guild.

While many pioneers in the craft beer industry started out homebrewing as a hobby while working in other careers, a new academic specialty has begun popping up at colleges and universities.

“There is a huge demand for people who are coming into the industry with specific fermentation knowledge,” said Jessica Blatecky, a biology instructor at Arapahoe Community College who is coordinating the school’s new fermentation sciences program.

The program, launching this fall, is ACC’s second attempt at a fermentation sciences degree. Last fall, only seven people enrolled for the first class and it was canceled.

The associate of science program includes two fermentation classes — craft beer brewing and fermented foods sciences — in a curriculum that also includes microbiology. Students must be 21 or older in order to take the craft beer class.

Scott Kerkmans, who heads up the brewing program at Metropolitan

A number of Colorado colleges and universities offer brewing or fermenting-related degrees or certificates.

State University of Denver, said that industry-specific degrees have become increasingly important in the beer world in the past few years.

“It’s turned from a trade into a profession,” Kerkmans said. “And because of that, you need specific knowledge.”

Jeff Callaway, associate director of fermentation science and technology at Colorado State University, said fermentation-specific education can help students get hands-on experience.

“It’s certainly not required but it is

getting more helpful,” he said of the value of degrees in the field.

Littleton’s St. Patrick’s Brewing Co. will help add a practical component to Blatecky’s coursework. St. Patrick’s founder and brewmaster Chris Phelps, who describes himself as a self-taught brewer who learned the principles of fermentation through reading and experimentation, said he believes there is value in a fermentation science degree.

“More and more brewers ask for it as

a requirement on a resume,” he said.

ACC has arranged transfer agreements with Metro State and CSU, both of which offer related bachelor’s degrees. Metro has brewery operations and craft brewing and pub operations offerings. CSU’s program, housed in the university’s food science and human nutrition department, is designed to educate students not just on beer but on the myriad other beverages and foods that are fermented.

Non-beer fermented products, of course, include other alcoholic beverages, but also foods such as sausage, cheese, yogurt and pickles, as well as kombucha, an increasingly trendy fermented tea.

“Fermentation is taking any type of sugar and converting it to alcohol, gas or acid,” Blatecky said.

Kombucha and other fermented products are popular in the health food industry, and she sees potential for graduates entering that line of work as well as brewing. But the biggest area of demand for people with fermentation expertise may be quality control at breweries, she said. Callaway said that most CSU fermentation students are hoping to find jobs in brewing or distilling.

Blatecky said that while people with more generalized science backgrounds certainly work in the field, they may require significant on-the-job training.

“You are working with a delicate science,” she said.

Blue Knights, with members from across metro area, will play at Grand Prix in Bahrain

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Alex Muñoz danced, tossed a wooden rifle in the air and maneuvered a giant white flag under the lights of Englewood High School’s football field. Along with about 100 other musicians, she was performing one last time before venturing 7,620 miles across the globe.

“It’s a great opportunity to show a different culture — what color guard and drum core are,” said Muñoz, 28, a dance teacher from Cherry Creek.

“Marching is an amazing, artistic and colorful sport.”

A group of the Blue Knights, a 200-member elite drum and bugle corps and percussion ensemble based in Denver, left for Bahrain, an island in the Persian Gulf, on April 12 to perform at the Grand Prix, a Formula One Championship car race attended by royalty, world leaders and celebrities.

The Blue Knights-Bahrain ensemble is formed of 48 brass musicians, 24 percussionists and 28 color guard members ranging from 18 to 50 years old from across the Denver metro area. Many are alumni of a band, including the Denver Broncos Stampede drum line, or have experience in music education. Almost all have fulltime jobs — from bankers to teachers to engineers.

“It’s a new place and a new challenge,” said Brian Cocos, 31, a trumpet player who works in finance. “They are paying for us to go out there and entertain them.”

Cocos, of Glendale, was in the marching band at the University of Colorado-Boulder and played with the Blue Knights for three years after college. He and his wife, a mellophone — or brass instrument — player, joined the Blue Knights-Bahrain ensemble to travel and perform in another country.

The Grand Prix’s entertainment division sought the Blue Knights after watching a video of the group

performing the song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Frankie Valli. In January, the Blue Knights accepted the invitation to perform at the April 15 event.

It is the first time an American drum and bugle corps will perform in Bahrain or the Middle East, according to a media release from Ascend Performing Arts, the parent organization of the Blue Knights.

“We have to be hyper-sensitive to the cultural differences — more conservative,” said Mark Arnold, executive director of Ascend Performing Arts.

The Blue Knights, which normally sport colorful and extravagant costumes, will wear simple red-and-white long-sleeve shirts and black pants.

The color guards will wear striped red, blue and purple long-sleeve tops and solid blue pants.

The April 11 send-off and dress rehearsal concert at Englewood High School was one of only a handful of times that the ensemble has performed together. But judging from the hoots and hollers coming from the stands, the crowd couldn’t tell.

The ensemble played popular songs, such as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.” The color guard danced and twirled giant flags that resembled butterfly wings.

The drum line sported tall hats and sparkling-black drum sets.

John Strang, a 20-year-old from Douglas County on the drums, said he is looking forward to experiencing a new culture.

“Traveling has always been on my list of things to do,” said Strang, a student at Colorado School of Mines.

“Now I get to do it through performing.”

Some spectators wandered into the stadium because they heard music coming from the high school, which is tucked in a residential neighborhood of Englewood.

Others traveled from across the metro area to watch a loved one perform.

Becka Guerin, of Wheat Ridge, was there to for her fiancé, who plays the trumpet. And although she will not be going to Bahrain, she will be there in spirit.

“We are,” she said, “so excited for them.”

LIFE

Finding faith in unique ways Churches get personal, interactive with new approaches to Bible study

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen Amanda Horvath moved from Boston to the Denver area for school, she was looking for a place where she could find a sense of community.

“I immediately felt at home when I started attending South Fellowship’s Summit group for young adults,” she said. “Not only did it provide me a community and support system, I met my roommate there.”

The Summit is one example of new approaches to one of the classic pieces of church culture — Bible study.

Instead of meeting in a church basement over coffee and snacks, many of today’s churches are taking the study of scripture into the community — and into people’s lives.

For some churches, that means going to members’ homes, meeting in a bar or restaurant, and even fitting discussion into fitness routines. No matter where or when the study happens, it’s all about intertwining faith and daily life.

“We have our meetings at our members’ homes every week,” said Yvonne Biel, director of Young Adults Ministry in Littleton’s South Fellowship church. “We talk about life decisions and who we are as people. Our members know they’re loved by God and our community.”

The Mile High Vineyard church, which has locations in Arvada, Lakewood and Westminster, also employes a lifestyle-based approach to its Bible study groups, called Circles.

“We believe life is lived not in rows, but in circles,” said Corey Garris, pastor of the Arvada Vineyard location. “We don’t have a prescription for how the groups have to go or what they have to cover. Because of this, we can have one group that focuses on marriage issues, another that does a more traditional Bible study approach, and another that is more community focused.”

In both The Summit and Circles, the Bible is used as a touchstone and starting point for the meetings.

Sometimes, the chapter or verse complements a Sunday sermon, and other times the meetings follow their own path or curriculum.

“All our groups have the basic elements of community and connection, and we make sure there is some kind of content, as well,”

Bible study in the gym. Members of Faith Rx’d take a break during training to discuss Scripture.

Garris said. “We want to energize people’s intellects, and we follow that with prayer time.”

For Horvath, one of the best parts of The Summit is how it connects people to each other’s lives, and the comfort that comes from digging deep into life and spirituality.

“Our meetings usually include dinner, and we rotate on who is cooking for the night,” she said.

“We go through the reading and ask some of the bigger questions — things like what is your image of God, and how does it impact our lives.”

These approaches seems downright traditional to new interactive approaches to Bible study, like that of Faith Rx’d, which blends faith and fitness.

“Our program started out of the experiences of my wife, Becky, who competed in cycling and in CrossFit,” explained Jim Conzelman, co-founder and operations director of Faith Rx’d. “As she competed, we started building a fellowship of Christian athletes, and we built our program around that idea.”

Since its creation, Faith Rx’d has expanded to about 63 area chapters around the world, with the Conzelmans running the operation out of its Littleton headquarters. The Denver chapter meets about three times a month for sessions that feature biblical discussion and high octane workouts.

“Our camps always have some kind of focal point, perhaps a chapter or a devotional,” Conzelman said. “It’s an opportunity to step away from your daily life. It’s an opportunity to put faith in a fitness context.”

One thing all these approaches have in common is discussion — and fellowship rarely stops when

Members of Faith Rx’d go through fitness activities as part of the group’s approach to Bible study.

FINDING THE RIGHT BIBLE STUDY FOR YOU Many of today’s churches offer members a variety of options when it comes to Bible and small group studies.

Churches like Mile High Vineyard and South Fellowship offer groups that focus on particular age ranges, or time of life, like marriage.

“Different groups scratch different itches,” the meeting is over. Small groups will often gather after the meeting, sometimes at a bar or restaurant.

“As leaders, we’re just here to provide feedback and ideas for the group leaders,” Garris said. “This is about transforming lives and fostering growth in our members.”

said Corey Garris, pastor of the Arvada Vineyard location. “We have people coming who are new to faith, and others have followed Jesus for years.”

Reaching out to pastors for recommendations is a good way to find a study or group that is a good fit. But with social media and websites, people also can use the internet to find the perfect match.

Through her group, Horvath has made some of the most important connections of her life.

“I’ve found people I can trust and be vulnerable with,” she said.

“We celebrate life’s big moments together and support each other in the hard times.”

Photographer to present world made of small objects Andy Marquez’s new book will be presented in area readings

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Gustavo’s nose broke twice and he fell into the bushes,” local photographer Andy Marquez reported, as he recounted the process of creating a story with little objects he had collected during 30-plus years of world travel. Gustavo, a mini Viking from Norway, and Vilhelm, a similar little character from Sweden, are described as “Journeymen from a Different Time” on the cover of Marquez’s new book, “The Adventures of Vilhelm and Gustavo.”

He will introduce the book in a series of readings at area locations, beginning April 29 at Solid Grounds Coffee Shop, 2-5 p.m., 6504 S. Broadway, Littleton.

After a conversation with a friend, Marquez, with help on 10 shots from his 20-year-old daughter Nikki, imagined a search sort of storyline and composed items from the collection in close-up outdoor Marquez locations — 30 of 59 images are within 50 yards of his Roxborough condo, he said. He calls these objects “overseas characters,” and smiles as he talks about the fun he had, imaging each image.

Other scenes were shot near C-470 and Santa Fe Drive, along the South Platte River and at Cheesman Park.

Some shots involved as many as five visits to get the light right.

“Reach within for a child within,” he said. The 40-page book is a contemporary fairy tale, which will entertain adults and kids.

Father Fine (France) sets out into the forest seeking Little Fish (China), who can heal. The little priest travels widely, assisted by his helpers. Some magic berries are needed and finally, Gustavo finds them. On the way, there will be a lizard from Spain, a camel from India, little Greek figures and more …

Abstract painter’s work joins with Still’s in Denver show Mark Bradford makes commentary on issues through his art

IF YOU GO “SHADE” will be at the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum through July 16, with one ticket valid for entrance to both. Denver Art Museum is between 12th and 14th Avenues the first block west of Broadway, with a parking garage on 12th immediately west of Broadway.

The Clyfford Still Museum is directly west of the Hamilton Building, connected by a walkway, or is entered from Acoma Street. See denverartmuseum.org or clyffordstillmuseum.org.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Noted contemporary abstract painter Mark Bradford’s large, striking mixed media paintings are presently exhibited at the Denver Art Museum in company with examples of Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still’s work. Both painters have chosen to use black liberally in their work and the exhibit, “Shade,” circulated by Buffalo’s Albright-Knox Gallery, and expanded here, is a collaboration between the DAM and the next-door Clyfford Still Museum.

Bradford, was born in Los Angeles in 1961, where he lives and works, following study at California Institute of Fine Arts in Valencia. Widely honored, he is a MacArthur Fellowship winner and will represent the United States at the 57th Annual Venice Bienniale with a major solo show in the U.S. Pavilion (May 13-Nov. 26.)

He was influenced by Still’s works. In museum materials, he is quoted after seeing a Still painting for the first time: “What caught my eye was the insistence of his paintings. His surfaces are more raw and immediate than other abstract expressionist paintings. His paintings are not just optical — they

“Realness,” by contemporary abstract painter Mark Bradford, is included in “Shade,” an exhibit of works by Bradford and Clyfford Still at the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE DENVER ART MUSEUM have a very physical presence.” He compared studio processes (Bradford tears found papers and uses layers with paint.) “My paintings are made up of tearing. To me it represents a process that is more of a reality than laying down a perfect line of paint. It’s raw and violent but it still comes together.

And it’s not just tearing that you see in Still’s paintings, it’s a collision of colors. These aren’t smooth transitions.”

Bradford’s paintings include comment on class, culture, race and gender.

The museums will further explore social activism and art through programming, to be announced.

For a third year, a contemporary artist, Bradford in 2017, was chosen to curate an exhibit from the collected works

of Still. His selection of 15 works by Still, which prominently include black pigments, is exhibited in the CSM’s two largest galleries and a ticket to “Shade” includes visits to both museums.

“The title, `Shade,’ has rich implications such as to shelter from light, to be in a shadow or to add black to a hue to darken it,” said DAM contemporary art curator Rebecca Hart. “Both Clyfford Still and Mark Bradford have a unique relationship to black. At a time when other Abstract Expressionist artists had vibrant palettes, Still used black to force viewers out of their comfort zones. For Bradford, the choice isn’t neutral; it intentionally forces us to confront conventional notions of race.

Each viewer will interpret the use of

black differently, hopefully evoking emotions that connect them to the works on view.”

As one enters the first floor Gallagher Family Gallery, one views “Realism,” a two-panel mixed media, textured work on canvas (108 ¼” X 168 ½”) which is in the Denver Art Museum collection. A look at the edges of Bradford’ works shows the layering and tearing involved. Other works follow, such as “Butch Queen” and “Mississippi Gottdam,” which introduces silver with other found paper layers. Still’s related works are woven into the exhibit.

At the rear of the gallery is an especially well-made video interview with the articulate Bradford, who says “`Shade’ is simply putting questions into the public domain.” He also commented that Still was a precursor to the civil rights movement.

Social activism and art will be explored in future programming by both museums.

Drop by drop: Volunteers record rain and snow Crew of 20,000 measures precipitation for environmental organizations

BY AMY THOMSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Steve Austin has been measuring the precipitation levels in his backyard every morning since 2005 at his home in Northglenn. Outside of a few weekend trips, he hasn’t missed a day.

“I’ve been doing it so long, it’s just part of what I do,” he said. “Get up, get washed, shaved and measure the rain.”

He doesn’t keep that data for his own amusement but sends it off to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, or CoCoRaHS, an international group of volunteers that use their rain gauges to help the National Weather Service and other environmental organizations.

“Moisture is so important,” the retired engineer said. “If you only get one-tenth of an inch, CoCoRaHS wants to know.”

The network, headquartered in Fort Collins, is key to helping hydrologists and climatologists around the world get the most accurate, informed data on precipitation rates possible.

“Rainfall is so variable,” Education

HOW TO GET INVOLVED Want to become a precipitation observer for Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network?

Education coordinator Noah Newman will host a class on the process and equipment to measure and report precipitation at the AnyThink Wright Farms, 5877 E. 120th Ave.,Thornton, on April 17 from 4-6 p.m.

For information, call 303-428-3576.

Coordinator Noah Newman said. “A rainstorm could go right in between the official stations of the National Weather Service and they might not know how much rain fell.”

And that’s happened before.

“It all started from the Fort Collins flood in 1997,” Newman said. The weather service’s station was out by I-25 and hadn’t picked up on the dangerous incoming storm. As a result, the community never received a warning to evacuate and five people died.

Colorado State Climatologist Nolan Doesken realized that starting a community network of rain gauges could save some lives and the network was formed, according to Newman.

What began with a handful of people in Colorado now comprises 20,000 volunteers across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.

The nonprofit asks that observers

report data every morning, but it’s not required. The only equipment necessary is a $35 rain gauge.

Recording the precipitation measurement is simple. There is a funnel to direct rainwater into a plastic pipe, called the measuring tube, that tells how much rain fell in the past 24 hours.

Measuring snow requires a few additional steps, like weighing the snow from your rain gauge to determine the precipitation amount and reporting the inches of snow in your backyard.

Volunteers say it takes between 5 and 15 minutes a day.

The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) uses this data regularly. They have an alert system of 200 automatic rain gauges across the Denver and Boulder areas to measure and identify when heavy rainstorms are happening and alert the public of appropriate safety measures. But the volunteer data makes this system more robust.

“The network observer data really does fill a nice gap (in the alert system),” said Kevin Stewart, program manager for Flood Warning and Information Services for UDFCD. “In fact, there are more network observers in the region than we have automated gauges.”

Another Thornton observer, John Simmons, first became interested in water conservation when he and his wife implemented a water-conscious xeriscape landscape when they purchased their home in 1980. When he heard about the observer opportunity, he signed up.

Simmons said he was motivated by the environmental and civic responsibility.

“More and more people use the wa-

ter and we need to be more aware of water resources in general,” Simmons said. “It’s a civic duty.”

During the tragic 2013 Colorado floods, Simmons recorded 5.07 inches of rain on Sept. 12, 2013 — and another 1.64 inches the following day.

Paul Bartholomew, a business analyst living in Thornton, started recording 12 years ago to help round out the data for the National Weather Service and organizations like the UDFCD. “I’m committed to statistics and I know how important this data is,” he said. “The emergency reports that we can submit go right to the National Weather Service.”

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

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

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

Adding short bursts of intensity to the walk, which Vidlock describes as “a point where maintaining a conversation becomes difficult,” will maximize benefits to the heart and lungs.

After establishing a routine, she recommends walking for nine minutes and running for one, then adding a minute of running and reducing a minute of walking each week.

Dress for success “Shoes can really help you or hurt you,” Vidlock says. She recommends going to a running or walking goods retailer to be fitted. Other recommendations are to wear layers of wicking fabric, material that draws perspira-

Talk with your doc Vidlock recommends consulting your doctor to make sure you’re physically able to begin a walking or running regimen, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or lung problems. She also cautions

Each spring, warm temperatures and an abundance of sunshine beckon Coloradans out of the house.

Whether starting a workout regimen from scratch or just trying to get back to their pre-winter form, Dr. Kathy Vidlock of Colorado Orthopaedics in Lone Tree says the benefits of walking and running go beyond weight loss and physical fitness.

“Exercise of any kind is beneficial for people with depression and anxiety.

It helps relieve stress and it helps regulate sleep patterns. It helps all people rest more easily at night,” Vidlock says. “Walking is probably the most underrated form of exercise there is.”

Keep going “The first couple of weeks are always the hardest,” Vidlock says. “If you know that there are going to be times when you don’t really feel like running, it will be easier for you to keep going.” She also advises inviting others to join in and reminding yourself of health benefits to stay motivated at first. Maintaining a routine for four to six weeks makes it more likely it will become part of your lifestyle.

Honoring victims of crime Event recognized 25th anniversary of the Colorado Victims Rights Act

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Law enforcement, prosecutors, victims rights advocates and crime victims gathered at the Douglas County Justice Center on April 6 to honor those affected by crime and the people who support them.

The event’s theme — “Strength, Resilience, Justice” — was highlighted through speeches given by 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and Colorado State Trooper Lt. Col. Matt Packard.

The program also honored the 25th anniversary of the Colorado Victims Rights Act, which strives to keep victims more informed and involved in the criminal justice process. And it recognized the Colorado State Patrol for outstanding service to victims.

Capt. Jeff Goodwin of the Colorado State Patrol’s Castle Rock troop receives a standing ovation April 6 at a rally honoring victims of crime and those who serve them. Goodwin’s post lost Colorado State Trooper Cody Donahue in 2016. Donahue was struck and killed by a passing vehicle while working a crash on Interstate 25.

ThunderRidge’s Brody Perkins upends Highlands Ranch third baseman Zac Dammel trying to get safely to base. The April 14 game was designated Jackie Robinson Day and all players and coaches wore No. 42 as a tribute to the late hall of famer, who was the first African-American to play Major League baseball in the modern era. The ThunderRidge announcing team shared facts and trivia on Robinson between innings. The home-team Grizzlies ended up on top by the score of 8-1.

Jaguars pile up points at Pomona meet Rock Canyon boys fifth, girls 10th at invitational

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon’s track teams continued exhibiting the quality of its talented athletes as the boys were fifth among 40 teams and the

girls were 10th among 28 teams at the April 14-15 Pomona Invitational Track Meet at Jefferson County Stadium.

“We have a very talented team, particularly on the boys side,” Jaguars coach Dave Davies said. “We were second at the Thomas Jefferson meet last week and third at the Lyons meet the week before that.

We finished behind Vista Ridge both weeks and that is not bad

because they are a team expected to win the 4A state title.”

He said he had 105 athletes come out for track and more than 60 percent of the turnout was boys.

“One of the strengths of our boys team is our distance runners.

These guys won the league in cross country and were third at state.

Another strong point is the fact our

Tim Wink, baseball, junior, Douglas

County: He went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBI in the Huskies’ 13-4 victory over Chaparral.

Sam Beecher, baseball, senior, Ponderosa: Beecher drove in five runs while going 2-for-4 in the Mustangs’ 14-3 win over Castle View as Ponderosa overcame a 3-1 deficit to scored 13 runs in the top of the seventh inning.

ruce Wright doesn’t take anything for granted, so he is retiring following the current school year after 21 years as the Highlands Ranch High School athletic director.

“My wife has been retired for a few years and has kind been waiting for me to retire,” Wright OVERTIME said. “There are no guarantees in life, and when you can do something, do it because you don’t want to wait, because if something happens then you can’t do what you want to do. When you can do something and have the opportunity, do it.

“It is hard to leave. I love Jim Benton what I do. It’s difficult, but it’s time to move on. What stands out for me was working with the kids and coaches we have had.”

Wright and his wife Sue are moving to Oro Valley, six miles north of Tucson, Arizona.

“We’re going to do a lot of traveling, enjoy the grandkids and just enjoy life,” Wright said.

Preston Davis, Littleton High’s athletic director and former Smoky Hill AD, will replace Wright at Highlands Ranch. Davis also was a football, lacrosse and girls basketball coach in the Cherry Creek school district.

“He’s going to do a great job,” Wright said.

“I’ve known him for a while and he’s a class act. We really have a good coaching staff here and with him being a former coach helps. We’re really set for some really good things to come in the next couple years. The table is set really well and he just needs to continue to nurture those coaches.”

This seems like a small thing, but it’s a big reason Wright will be missed: Waiting is something we all do, whether it is waiting in line, waiting for a stoplight or just waiting for the days, hours and minutes to pass. But I never had to wait long for Wright to return a call or email, and he was always helpful for any request I might have made.

Baseball state leaders In no game are statistics used as much as in baseball to allow fans and managers/ coaches to compare the performances of players to one another.

So here’s a look at some area players who are state leaders through games of April 15: • JD Wadleigh, a Green Mountain junior who played as a freshman at Faith Christian, leads Class 4A with a 1.242 slugging percentage in addition to leading the Class 4A Jefferson County League in five categories.

• Skyview sophomore Corey Musch is tied for the 4A stolen base lead with 19 steals.

• Brock Johnson, a Douglas County junior catcher, leads Class 5A with a .304 caughtstealing percentage. He has thrown out seven runners on 23 stolen base attempts in 11 games.

• Cody Schultz, a senior at Cherry Creek, is tops in runs scored in 5A with 24 in 11 games.

Falcons push past Huskies in boys lacrosse Highlands Ranch has strong fourth quarter against Douglas County

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The April 11 Highlands Ranch-Douglas County boys lacrosse game lived up to expectations. It was a fast-paced, hard-hitting contest with players from both teams frequently getting knocked to the turf as a result of collisions and checks. The game developed into a back-and-forth contest for three periods, but the Falcons exploded for eight fourth-quarter goals to win the game 16-9.

“We have a decent amount of depth, which helps now that we are dealing with some injuries,” Falcons coach Matt Bocklet said after the game. “We are a pretty balanced team and I am happy with the way we stepped up, particularly in the fourth quarter as we outscored them 8 to 2 to get the win.”

Key moments The Falcons took a 2-0 lead in the first quarter but Douglas County rallied to keep the game close. Highlands Ranch led 4-3 at halftime and scored the first four goals of the third period.

But the Huskies came back and trailed

T.K. Hammond fires a shot on goal for Highlands Ranch during an April 11 boys league soccer game played at Shea Stadium. This shot was deflected but Hammond had a goal and an assist as the Falcons offense broke open a close game in the fourth quarter to post a 16-9 win.

TOM MUNDS 8-7 going into the final 12 minutes of the game. That was when the Falcons offense took control as they scored two goals in less than 15 seconds and went on to win, 16-9.

Key players/statistics The Falcons took 36 shots on goal and seven players scored goals for the team. Tommy Mott led the scoring with six goals and teammate Jimmy Pettet scored four goals. Three players,

Joe Bertsch, Nick Gallegos and T.K. Hammond each scored a goal and had an assist, while Jake Lyon and Kobe Eller each scored a goal.

Hunter Heaston was in goal for Highlands Ranch and he made 10 saves. On the field, Brock Taylor took a total of 18 faceoffs and won nine of them.

six goals he scored against Douglas County raises his season total to 37 goals and four assists.

“My dad was a pro lacrosse player and he taught me the sport. I played basketball for a while but I was good at lacrosse, so I dropped basketball to focus on my favorite sport,” the Falcons senior said after the game. “My dad was a lefty attackman like I am and he taught me a lot of tricks of the trade to help me put good shots on goal.”

He said it feels great to take the ball deep in his own territory and maneuver the length of the field to get in position for a good shot.

“You have to know where to go,” he said. “The other team’s guys are playing defense so they will try to keep you away from the goal and they will try to take the ball away from you.

You have to be smart, look for openings and, if they aren’t there, pass the ball to a teammate to keep the attack going” He smiled and said his lacrosse career will continue after graduation because earlier that day he had signed to play Division I lacrosse for the Air Force Academy.

Local ice show reaches 45-year milestone ‘Tale As Old As Time’ is this year’s Showtime on Ice theme

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Celebrating 45 consecutive years of twirling, jumping and gliding on ice, Showtime on Ice will this year stage three of the show’s most popular performances throughout its history: “Grease,” “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

Four performances of this year’s show, titled “Tales As Old As Time,” take place at the South Suburban Ice Arena, 6580 S. Vine St. in Centennial, April 28-30. Tickets range from $10 to $20.

Professional skaters Ryan Bradley, Starr Andrews and Max Aaron are featured this year. About 150 performers of all levels from across metro Denver, ranging in age from 3 to 65, take to the ice.

“What I hear from people year after year is that they had no idea there were this many talented skaters in the area,” said Sally Smith, the show’s style coach and theatrical director. “It

IF YOU GO For tickets, visit showtimeonice.com/ ticket-information truly is a spectacle.”

Janie Ochitwa, 18, a ThunderRidge High School senior, is playing Sandy in “Grease.” This is her 11th year in the production. She said the event is a highlight of her year.

“This is something that I have been doing so long that I fell in love with performing,” Ochitwa said. “It is awesome that the show has gone on for this long.”

Daniel Arsenault, 22, plays Danny in “Grease.”

“I think this is something that has given a lot of us a love for performing,” Arsenault said. “It has really sparked a love for the sport... A lot of skaters out here live all year for it.”

In 1973, Peggy DeLio created the show to expose figure skaters and their communities to Broadway musicals and classics. The goal was to give figure skaters a way to come together as a team.

“When she started this, Peggy felt that what the skaters could get from the show is more than what they could get from a competition,” Smith said.

“This is a lonely sport. This is a chance for the kids to get a team feeling. They come together as skaters.”

Smith started her career in musical theater. After a vocal cord injury, she decided to go into teaching theater and taught at Ponderosa High School in Parker for 20 years. After retiring from teaching, she started working with Showtime on Ice. The show is an annual event in Centennial. While most ice shows have an opening and ending number with several individual performances, Showtime on Ice is an entire production.

“There is always something to watch,” Smith said. “People can see the story unfold in front of them and see national and world competitors who come out and skate. It is not a recital.”

Smith, who has worked at Showtime on Ice for 22 years, admires the camaraderie, commitment and dedication that the young skaters demonstrate. She said the parents, volunteers and staff commit their time to the show for the kids.

“For all of us it is an investment in children,” Smith said.

“There is no better investment than the investment in children and helping them make a memory.”
