Answers sought in teen suicides State’s second-leading cause of death among young people claims 4 locally in 2 weeks By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four Douglas County teens were lost to suicide in less than two weeks — a number equal to the total of teen suicides in the county in 2013. The deaths recorded between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 appear unrelated and do not point to copycat syndrome. “We have not found there’s any commu-

nication, any tie between them,” Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas said. “But like many of the suicide cases we have sadly investigated, mental illness can play a role in suicides.” Thomas would not discuss specifics about any of the cases, including the manner of death and what led to the fatal decisions. The children range in age from 15 to 17, and include 15-year-old Mountain Vista High School sophomore Robert Klamo. He fatally shot his mother and then himself in their Highlands Ranch home Jan. 31; he reportedly was undergoing treatment for mental illness. Two of the four attended

Douglas County High School. The teen deaths have prompted communitywide concern. The Douglas County School District sent an email to parents that included suicidal behavior warning signs, resources and tips for talking to students. Two Castle Rock churches held prayer vigils. The cases haunt Thomas, who has studied suicide extensively to try to slow or prevent the incidents, and who visited this week with one of the teen’s parents. “These parents loved this kiddo desperately and they did everything they could,” she said. “It’s almost like he was this fragile little Christmas ornament. They carried

him along for so long to protect him, but something happened and he slipped out of their hands. “When I look in the eyes of these parents that are devastated…” Thomas trailed off and paused before continuing. “Gosh, what can we do to help these kids?” Thomas and others in the mental health field hope publicizing the suicides will prompt vital conversations between teens and adults. In 2002, the suicides of four Jefferson County School District teens in an 11-month-period prompted community Suicide continues on Page 13

Former tech innovator to lead libraries Robert Pasicznyuk, a familiar face in Douglas County, replacing LaRue By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com Robert “Bob” Pasicznyuk, who had a reputation for changing the face of a library with technology tools, was hired in 2004 when Jamie LaRue, now retired, was Douglas County Libraries’ executive director. Then in 2009, Pasicznyuk — pronounced Paz-nick — left his senior technology role when Cedar Rapids, Iowa’s library system, devastated by floods, needed a leader that could bring it back. He reportedly brought it back. Now, he’s back. The Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees has selected him to replace the recently retired LaRue as the next director of the libraries and he’ll assume his new role on May 5. “With today’s announcement, we feel we have found the right person for the job. We chose Bob because of his experience with strategic planning, his broad knowledge

of information technology, and his overall business acumen,” said Bob Morris, Douglas County Libraries board president. In Iowa, Pasicznyuk was project manager for two simultaneous building projects: a $46.6 million flagship library and a $2.5 million branch library. In addition, he reversed a decade of eroding library support and steady decline, according to a news release. “Over the years, Bob has been acknowledged numerous times by both his Pasicznyuk peers and community and is recognized as a leader in libraries,” Morris said. “He impressed us as a strategist and outstanding project leader. We are excited to have him join the team at Douglas County Libraries and lead the organization.” Pasicznyuk said some people perceive libraries as being only warehouses for books. But he said LaRue helped him realize how libraries could assist in fulfilling people’s dreams… and become the heart of the community. He said in Cedar Rapids, the main library is now the community’s hub.

“We just booked our 19th wedding in the building,” he said. And the high school seniors in a town 30 minutes away want to hold their prom at the library because it’s viewed as being that cool. But Pasicznyuk said he’s returning in part because Colorado is deeply in his blood — and because of this tremendous opportunity with another stellar staff. “I am honored and humbled by this opportunity. I look forward to joining this innovative organization and working in a community I have always thought so highly of. I am excited to work with the talented staff and our community partners as we continue to advocate for literacy and lifelong learning.” LaRue, who retired in January after 23 years, said recently that Pasicznyuk was the “key architect of the district’s move to self check.” “He’s a very clear and strategic thinker…,” LaRue said. LaRue also described Pasicznyuk as a really bright and insightful man, who has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and is an historian and technologist by inclination. If he were to compare Pasicznyuk to any book or book’s character, “I’d put him as Lincoln in `Team of Rivals,’” he said.

Former Lone Tree Police Chief Steve Hasler is running for sheriff in Pueblo County. Hasler, Lone Tree’s first chief, served from the department’s 2004 launch until his controversial August 2012 firing. Hasler, who worked for the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office in the early 1990s, seeks to unseat current Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor. He did not return calls requesting comment on his campaign. Hired in 2004 to head Lone Tree’s police department, Hasler was dismissed “without cause” by former Lone Tree City Manager Jack Hidahl in 2012. Hasler filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in March 2013, alleging retaliatory Hasler termination. He consistently maintained the action was linked to a harassment/hostility complaint filed against Hidahl from a female police department employee. Hidahl, who retired in January after 18 years as city manager, never discussed the reasons for Hasler’s dismissal. He also declined to comment on the former chief’s Pueblo County campaign. Lone Tree city attorney Neil Rutledge said he has no new information on Hasler’s case. “He filed a complaint with the EEOC; I have heard nothing since,” Rutledge said Feb. 12. An EEOC spokesman said it cannot comment on cases, even to confirm or deny a charge was filed. Hasler’s Denver attorney also did not return calls for comment. Hasler worked for the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office in 1991. He met his wife in Pueblo, and the couple started their family there, before he accepted a job with the Manitou Springs Police Department. He was Erie’s police chief for 10 years before taking the job in Lone Tree. Formerly a resident of Parker, county records show Hasler and his wife bought a home in Pueblo in June 2013. Lone Tree hired former Lakewood police commander Jeff Streeter as its second chief a year ago.

Trader Joe’s comes to south metro area Opening of popular, Polynesian-themed grocery store attracts thousands By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 3,000 people shopped and gawked at the new Trader Joe’s in Greenwood Village on Feb. 14, the store’s first day in operation. Rhonda MacDonald made the drive from Castle Rock to check out the new store. “We moved here from San Jose (California) a couple of years ago and the thing I missed most, except for maybe the ocean, was Trader Joe’s,” she said. “None of the other grocery stores around here are quite like them.” Centennial resident and Colorado native Tim Hunter and his daughter Julie spent more than three hours — and several hundred dollars — shopping at the new store on Feb. 14. “I’d heard a lot about Trader Joe’s but had never been to one until today,” said Hunter. “It’s cool. I like the vibe here. And the prices are really good, especially on things like nuts and dried fruit. We’ll be back.” Store manager Dan Guarjardo, whose business card lists his job title as “captain,”

Check-out lines were long but moved quickly at the Feb. 14 opening of Trader Joe’s in Greenwood Village. Photo by George Lurie said his staff “wasn’t sure what to expect” on opening day. “We’re prepared for a brisk turnout but honestly, I don’t know how many people will show up,” Guarjardo said. “Hopefully,

Casino Night bigger and better Staff report Building on the success of years past, Lone Tree’s annual Casino Night returns from 7 to 11 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. New features this year include live music, a lounge area and vintage casino games. “It’s fun night to socialize with friends and neighbors,” Lone Tree city spokeswoman Kirsten Knoll said. A Full House Casino Company will provide casino games including poker, blackjack, craps and roulette, a vintage blackjack table, roulette table, giant dice wheel and antique slot machines. Live music will be provided by the band, “The Lawyers.”

we’re ready for everything and everybody.” Three hours after the doors opened, crowd control was the biggest challenge. The parking lot was full and checkout lines snaked the length of the store as employees,

dressed in red T-shirts, answered questions about food items and directed customers pushing overflowing shopping carts to available check stands. The Polynesian-themed, 10,000-squarefoot store, located in the Cherry Hills Marketplace on South University Boulevard at East Orchard Road, features more than a dozen murals of area landmarks, including Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater, the High Line Canal Trail and Dinosaur Park. The California-based company, which started in 1958 as Pronto Markets and changed its name to Trader Joe’s in 1967, has stores in nine states. The company, which opened its first Colorado outlets on Valentine’s Day, has a cult following, fueled in part by its selection of low-cost, private label products. But south metro-area wine aficionados who visited the Greenwood Village Trader Joe’s were disappointed: Only the Denver store (at 8th Ave. and Colorado Blvd.) has a liquor license and sells the company’s popular “two-buck Chuck” wine. “Bummer,” said customer Phil Stevens of Highlands Ranch, when informed by a store employee there was no wine at the Greenwood Village Trader Joe’s. “If I have to drive all the way in to Denver for cheap wine, I’m going to buy a case or two. Not just a few bottles.”

Magazine ammo ban repeal efforts fail GOP lawmaker takes heat for comments made about 2012 Aurora shooting

guy showed up,” Herpin told committee members. Herpin was trying to make the point that larger capacity magazines are unreliable and that fewer people were killed or injured because Holmes’ weapon jammed. He later apologized for coming across as being insensitive. Herpin’s comments were met with outrage by Tom Sullivan, the father of 27-yearold Alex Sullivan, who was one of 12 people who were killed in the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting. “I’ve had a lot of thoughts since July 20, 2012, and I can tell you that I never have once thought that it was better that that man walked into that theater with a 100-round drum, and opened fire on the over 200 people that were in that theater,” Sullivan said. Herpin is a freshman senator who won a recall election against John Morse last fall. Morse, who at the time was Senate president, was one of three Democratic lawmakers who were either voted out of office or resigned in the face of recall elections over their votes on gun bills last year. Herpin isn’t the only lawmaker who has

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com As expected, Republican efforts to repeal a law that limits ammunition magazine rounds failed in majority Democrat legislative committees last week. But one of the hearings produced unexpected comments from a lawmaker who would end up having to do some damage control over his remarks concerning events that took place during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. Sen. Bernie Herpin, R-Colorado Springs, told the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Feb. 12 that it may have been a “good thing” that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes was carrying a 100-round ammunition magazine because it jammed. “If he had instead had four, five, six 15-round magazines, no telling how much damage he could have done until a good

raised eyebrows for comments having to do with gun legislation. Last year, Rep. Joe Salazar and then-Sen. Evie Hudak, both Democrats, made comments regarding rape and gun violence that, like Herpin’s comments last week, made national headlines. Herpin was in front of the committee to sponsor a bill that sought to repeal a law from last year that banned ammunition magazines from carrying more than 15 rounds. The bill was one of two GOP-sponsored repeals that failed at the Legislature last week, each one falling on party-line votes in the Democrat-led General Assembly. Two days earlier, a House committee rejected a separate effort sponsored by Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, which also sought to repeal the magazine limit law. Holbert argued that limiting the number of rounds in a magazine is arbitrary and does nothing to promote public safety. “This legislation doesn’t make us safer,” Holbert said. “It doesn’t limit a criminal’s ability to do something monstrous. All it does is punish a law-abiding citizen.” But Democrats and other supporters of magazine limits say the law saves lives be-

Bar closing bill moving forward

Legislation that would allow bars to stay open past 2 a.m. continues to move forward. The House on Feb. 14 gave initial approval to House Bill 1132 and was expected to send the measure to the Senate following a final vote this week. Current state law prohibits bars from operating between 2 and 7 a.m. The bill would allow bars to stay open as late as 4:30 a.m., with local government approval. The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Crisanta Duran, DDenver, was drafted in response to problems in downtown Denver, where police have had to respond to several violent situations as bar patrons exit drinking establishments at closing time. Supporters say by allowing bars to stay open later, there would be fewer people leaving bars at the same time. However, opponents believe the bill just puts more drunks on the streets later into the morning.

cause the fewer rounds that a killer can get off, the less damage they can cause. The law was drafted in response to recent mass shootings like the one in Aurora and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School the same year. Jane Dougherty’s sister, Mary Sherlock, was a school psychologist who was killed during the Sandy Hook massacre. “Twenty-six souls were lost in fewer than 11 minutes that Friday morning,” Dougherty said. “We hear over and over again about gun owners having their rights taken away from them. … I ask you, `What about my sister’s rights?’” In a nod to the ramifications from last year’s recall efforts, Holbert tried to appeal to Democrats on the committee to seize the “political opportunity” by supporting his repeal bill. “Are you willing to risk political capital?” Holbert said. “I ask you to please keep an open mind.” But Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, took exception to Holbert’s comments. “I don’t think we should be making a decision based on what’s politically expedient or politically smart,” Foote said.

County governments would be allowed to use general fund dollars for flood-related repairs, under a bill that’s now headed to the governor’s desk. Senate Bill 7 allows county governments to tap into their general funds for bridge and road repairs that become necessary as a result of a natural disaster occurring, such as flooding. The bill has cleared both legislative chambers, most recently going through the House on Feb. 10. Right now, counties are prohibited from using funds for that purpose. The bill would give more leeway to local governments, so long as the governor declares a disaster emergency within that county.

Fallen deputy honored

Lawmakers last week paid tribute to a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy who was killed in the line of duty. A 27year veteran of the sheriff’s office, Sgt. David Baldwin died on Jan. 26 in a head-on collision on Highway 93. Lawmakers held a memorial tribute to Baldwin on Feb. 11, with Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, lauding Baldwin’s “highly-decorated” career. “We honor him for his dedication and service,” Schafer said. The tribute included a Colorado flag that was presented to Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office members.

College Affordability Act clears committee

A bill that would cap college tuition rate hikes and pump more money into financial aid cleared its first legislative hurdle on Feb. 12 as the Senate Education Committee passed Senate Bill 1, the College Affordability Act, following a 6-1 bipartisan vote. The bill would cap tuition rate hikes at 6 percent annually and would allocate an additional $100 million for colleges, with much of that money going toward student financial aid. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Prison credit bill moves forward

A bill that could impact a prisoner’s “good-time” credit cleared a House committee last week. House Bill 1114 would give the Department of Corrections flexibility to withdraw earned time credit that they receive for good behavior behind bars, if they re-offend in prison. The bill, which is sponsored by Reps. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs, and Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, received unanimous support from the House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 13 and now heads to the House for a full vote there.

o re-By Vic Vela uroravvela@coloradocommunitymedia. men-com erty’s chol- A contentious House floor debate Hookpreceded the Feb. 13 passage of a bill that aims to shine more light on school thanboard members’ private discussions. ugh- House Bill 1110 would expand curagainrent law that already requires the reakencording of all conversations that take boutplace during school board executive sessions to include those involving m lastattorney-client discussions. ppeal Most Democrats supported the e themeasure, saying that it holds elected g hisofficials accountable for what happens behind closed doors and bolsters ital?”the public’s right to know. p an But all House Republicans joined three Democrats in voting against the tookbill. Several spoke out against the bill, calling it an affront to attorney-client a de-privilege. dient They also argued that the bill unfairly targets a handful of school boards that have been the subject of controversy over executive session matters, including boards in Douglas and Jefferson counties. “This is targeted and punitive to a few school districts to this state,” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch said. “We should not use the power of legislation to punish.” McNulty’s comments came during a Feb. 12 House floor debate. The House passed the bill the next day on a 34-31 vote. Under the bill, sponsored by Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, recordings of attorney-client discussions during executive sessions would be stored and would be made available only through a successful petition through the courts. If a filer believes that what was being handled during executive session doesn’t warrant a behind-closed-

doors discussion, a judge would listen to the recording to determine whether that information should be made public. If the judge believes that to be the case, the recordings would be released. The bill also requires that school boards post the topics that are discussed in executive session, the same way they do through the posting of board meeting minutes. The topics would require enough of a summary of what was being discussed during the session, but wouldn’t have to go into detail of the privileged conversations. “The value of this bill is for the community who wants to know whether our elected officials are using their privileges correctly,” Peniston said prior to the House vote. “It’s a transparency issue.” Peniston insisted that the bill is not directed at any particular school district. But Republicans believe otherwise. The Douglas County School Board has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of teachers’ unions. New conservative members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Education have also received criticism. In December the three new members approved a lawyer’s contract without disclosing the terms during a public meeting. Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, blasted the “terrible” bill, not only for what he feels is the unfair targeting of certain school boards, but for also being a veiled reaction to last year’s school board elections across the state. Last November, reform candidates were swept into school board posts at Douglas and Jefferson Counties. “I can’t believe how obvious of a target this bill is of certain school boards in this state, because of the fact that

elections were won by reform groups in this state,” Priola said. Republicans also took aim at what they believe is a violation of attorneyclient privilege. Rep. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican who is also a lawyer, took to the well often to offer sharp criticism of the legislation. Gardner said the bill would make it difficult for attorneys to have candid conversations with their clients and it would soak up judge’s use of time. “This bill, more than any that has come before us, in my view is such an assault on public policy that it deserves the debate,” he said. But Rep. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango, said the “hysteria” over that aspect of the bill is unwarranted and that the bill would lift the “mask of secrecy” from the goings-on at school board meetings. “The public does not like secrecy,” he said. “The public does not support secrecy in any governmental body.” That sentiment was expressed by a few witnesses who testified during a Feb. 3 House committee hearing. Shawna Fritzler, the mother of a Jefferson County student, said the school board there ought to be more transparent and that its members are losing the public’s confidence. “On one level it’s ironic for every board that keeps the public in the dark and out of board meetings, they’re also asking for more involvement,” she said. “It’s scaring teachers, parents and community members. And that impacts the children in our schools.” The bill had its share of critics at the same committee hearing. Debbie Lammers, a St. Vrain Valley School District board member, said it’s unfair that the bill only targets school boards, but not other governing bodies. Last year’s version of the bill included city councils and other bodies into the mix, but it did not have the support inside the Capitol. The bill now heads to the Senate.

South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce announces Calendar of Events 4th Annual “B.I.G. Day” For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber Local nonprofits with projects to complete can apply Dozens of area non-profits with thousands of volunteers working together makes for a great day. And, that’s the goal for the 2014 edition of the B.I.G. (Be Involved Give) Day set for Saturday, April 26th from 8:30 to 12:00. The fourth installment of this annual event promises to be bigger and more productive than ever. “Last year’s event surpassed all our expectations,” says John Brackney, President and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “Over 300 volunteers spent a Saturday morning at 22 non-profit agencies. Non-profits got to showcase all they do to volunteers from the business community and relationships were created. Best of all, everyone had a great time. We expect this year to be continue the tradition of getting bigger and better each year!” B.I.G. stands for “Be Involved, Give.” Because of the huge success of last year’s event, the goal is to have over one-thousand volunteers spend Saturday morning at even more non-profits. Laurian Horowitz, Owner/Instructor of Colorado Life Lessons is again coordinating the sign-up of local non-

profits interested in taking part in what’s become an annual event that thousands look forward to. “The B.I.G. Day is an amazing day where our community can come together to volunteer.” says Horowitz. “For a nonprofit, it is a great opportunity to showcase themselves, to a new audience perhaps, and gain long term volunteers, monetary and in kind donations, as well as join forces with service organizations to complete huge projects in a short period of time.” Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from planting vegetables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to painting and preparing for the summer season at Dinosaur Ridge, to trail clean up with the South Suburban Park Foundation, to putting together and delivering meals for TLC Meals on Wheels - the list goes on and on. Children are welcome for most activities making it a fantastic family event and one that will build a sense of community in young minds. Slots for nonprofit organizations to take part in this year’s event are beginning to fill up and Horowitz urges those interested to contact her either by phone at 303-257-9589 or e-mail

at Laurian@ColoradoLiveLessons. com. There are currently 21 nonprofit organizations signed on and nonprofits do not need to be Chamber Investors in order to get involved in this event. Sign up for individual and corporate team volunteers will begin on March 1st. Brackney adds, “Imagine all that we can accomplish with thousands of volunteers?! And all of the projects our community non-profits can get done through this great event!” For updated information about the 2014 B.I.G. Day, visit the South Metro Denver Chamber Meetup site at www.Meetup.com/bestchamber/ events/124096422 or contact Laurian Horowitz at 303-257-9589.

Common Core standards delay rejected Bill would have pushed back start date of new school testing mandates By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

etwork A Republican-sponsored effort to delay n to implementation of controversial new stan6:30 dardized school testing mandates failed in n a legislative committee on Feb. 13. 7:30 The federal Common Core State Stanstle dards Initiative sets guidelines for what evill ery K-12 student should know about math how and language arts at each grade level, in in hopes that the kids will be better prepared ances for college. on During a Feb. 13 Senate Education Comto mittee hearing, supporters of the initiative rado. — which the state adopted into the Colorado Academic Standards in 2010 — lauded the assessment as an optimum way to set minimum standards that give kids the eet knowledge and skills they need to be sucrts cessful in life. ww. But opponents insisted that the standards are expensive, burdensome on districts to implement, and also argued that students are drowning in assessment tests already. h 4 at That polarization was the motivation 00 or

behind Senate Bill 136, which would have delayed all new, statewide assessments for a year. It also would have set up a task force designed to look into the adoption and implementation of the Colorado Academic Standards in an effort to determine whether the state’s participation in the Common Core initiative is worth it. “All it’s asking for is nothing special; no changes, just a time out,” said Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, the bill’s sponsor. Marble told the committee that implementation costs associated with the standardized tests are “enormous” and that the state would benefit from the delay. But the majority of committee members didn’t agree. The Democrat-led committee rejected Marble’s bill on a 4-3 party-line vote, following a lengthy and often emotional hearing that even resulted in a couple of lawmakers trying to hold back tears. Although he heard testimony that “will give him a lot of things to think about going home,” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, said he is supportive of the standards. “I am still a believer that we can build a set of rigorous standards,” he said. “I don’t think the answer is to pause on this.” States can voluntarily adopt Common Core standards and 45 states and the District of Columbia have done so. Colorado’s State Board of Education decided to adopt the standards after a study determined that

bill would expand free-lunch program Students would be eligible through high school By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More Colorado school children would be eligible for free lunch at school, under a bill that passed a House committee on Feb. 10. Right now, kids who qualify for the state’s reduced lunch program can have their meal “co-pays” waived through the second grade. House Bill 1156 would make free lunches available to children through high school, if they qualify. “The reality is, when these families are hurting, they are hurting,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, the bill’s sponsor. “And that doesn’t stop at the third grade.” Moreno — who once was a recipient of free and reduced lunches when he was a child — has paid close attention to school nutrition issues since he first came into office last year. During the 2013 legislative session, Moreno passed a bill that would require schools with high poverty rates to serve breakfast at the start of the school day. Moreno’s new effort passed the House Education Committee following a partyline vote of 7-6. Republicans balked primarily because the bill would send more money to the program that handles school meals in Colorado, which has been the recent target of an audit for mismanagement of state funds. The bill would mean that parents like Tamara Frawley of Thornton would no longer be required to pay any sort of reduced fee for their kids’ meals. In Frawley’s case, that amounts to about 40 cents a day, per child. “Forty cents doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re on a limited budget, it’s an insurmountable amount” she said. Frawley, who has two children who are enrolled at Mapleton Public Schools in Ad-

ams County, said she has struggled to pay bills ever since her husband was diagnosed with cancer six years ago. “I hold down a 40-hour a week job and two temp jobs, but it still isn’t enough,” Frawley told committee members. Because many more children would be eligible for free lunches, the bill would require an additional $2.4 million in annual state funds to go to a state-run school meal program. However, those costs would be offset — and then some — through federal reimbursement through the National School Lunch Act. Federal reimbursement is expected to be substantially higher than what the state will be paying for the additions to the free lunch program. Mapleton Schools, through a pilot program, currently covers the reduced lunch costs of their students, a district where more than 70 percent of children qualify for the program. “We serve a community that is heavily impacted by the effects of poverty,” said Virgina Styles, assistant director of Mapleton Schools, who was reading a letter in support of the bill from Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio. But committee Republicans wondered whether it was a good idea to send more funds to a state program that is not doing a good job of handling money right now. Auditors recently determined that the state’s School Lunch and Breakfast Programs forfeited more than $2 million in federal grants and reimbursement dollars, going back to 2009. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, offered an amendment to Moreno’s bill that would set up an oversight task force to make sure that the money was appropriated correctly. “It hardly makes sense to expand a program that has obvious problems,” McNulty said. McNulty’s amendment failed.

the federal math and English standards were closely aligned with those that the state was already using. Colorado schools adopted the standards through its participation of the PARCC multi-state consortia — Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Through PARCC, Common Core testing is set to begin next year. Testimony on Marble’s bill lasted several hours inside the Old Supreme Court Chambers, the Capitol’s largest committee hearing room. Supporters of the bill cited several reasons as to why committee members should put the standards on hold. Sandra Stotsky, a longtime educator and national opponent of Common Core standards, began her testimony by telling the committee that New York lawmakers had voted the day before to delay its Common Core implementation for three years. She said that New York has it right because Common Core’s math standards don’t prepare them for the next instructional levels and that the ability of local school boards to dictate their own curriculum “was wiped out overnight” by the 2010 State Board of Education decision. “(Common Core) is a sticky jar of molasses that was voted on by a State Board of Education that didn’t know what it was doing,” she said. Others were critical of the demands that

assessments place on school districts’ technology. Stephanie Pico of the Cherry Creek School District said that lack of human and technological resources cause stress “and a sense of helplessness” among teachers who are already overwhelmed by technology issues. Others testified that the federal standards dictate curriculum, which undermines local control of how schools should operate. Monument Academy Principal Lis Richard told the committee that the connection between assessment standards and curriculum is “inseparable.” “I believe the intentions have been good, but ill advised,” she said. Others said that students are buried under assessment tests to begin with. George Sader, a former educator, testified that assessment standards like Common Core force a child who is slow to develop in school “to run faster than he can run.” But Common Core supporters said the standards help students develop critical thinking across all instructional areas and that it helps develop equity in the learning system. Elizabeth Miner, a physical education teacher who was named the 2014 Colorado Teacher of the Year, said the uniform standards provide students “a consistent and clear understanding of what students are required to learn.”

opinions / yours and ours

Freshen up with the newness factor Don’t you just love the feeling of receiving something new or experiencing something new? I sure do. And I am a traditionalist by nature, some may even say very set in my ways and in my thinking. And yet I still enjoy that feeling or sense of “newness.” Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, new hardwood floors or carpeting, the smell of a new car, the feeling of new furniture or a new mattress, or maybe a new home or place to live, there is just something fresh, clean, and exciting about “new.” They even sell stuff that we can spray that fills our cars with that “new car” scent. Maybe it’s a new job or a new position. Maybe it’s a new city or location. And maybe, just maybe, it’s the sense of adventure that something or anything new creates in our hearts and minds. The “newness” factor is cool for sure,

but I also believe there is a lot to be said for just viewing some of what we already do, some of what we already have, and a little of who we are through a “new” lens. You see “new” doesn’t always have to be brand new, “new” can be perspective too. Our car with a fresh coat of clean and wax, windows cleaned and maybe even a little of that new car air freshener could bring back a little of that same excitement as when we first purchased the car.

letter to the editor Biased school coverage

I am wondering if you need a donation to buy a thesaurus for your school board reporter, Jane Reuter. It seems “controversial” is the only word she knows to describe policies implemented by a board elected by a majority of Douglas County residents. Her one-sizefits-all approach to describing every action by a duly elected body does a disservice to your readers. Douglas County is at the forefront of

school change. Some things will work; some probably won’t. But my own experience with the Douglas County School system and government innovation in general, is that there is plenty of room for improvement, and change is never easy with a bureaucracy. How about some real journalism and balanced assessments? Maintaining the status quo should never be good enough. Wendy Allen Highlands Ranch

A look at long-term investing Investors are not likely to be successful if they view their portfolio as something that needs to perform every day. This age of instant gratification and constant information has trained us to focus on the wrong calendar. Instead of worrying about this month, quarter or year, we should be looking at different phases of the life cycle and invest based on our own time clock. One of my favorite authors, Dr. Ken Dychtwald states that our life span used to be linear. We went to school, got a job for life, lived in the same house for at least 30 years, retired with a pension and died of old age. Now we have different phases of life. We may go to back to school several times, change jobs and houses on average five times or more, and … there will be no pension. We may also have phases of high expenses such as college or relocation, elder care or raising more than one generation. Our life currently moves in cycles rather than a straight path. Our investments should reflect this. It is contrary that the longer we live and the more dynamic our life patterns are, the shorter-term our investments become. Ideally, it makes more sense to invest one pool of money — such as an IRA or 401k — for 30 or 40 years. Therefore, it does not matter what the account balance is today or tomorrow, in fact you might consider choosing investments more for an inflation hedge, than current return. Otherwise you could find yourself halfway through retirement with no cost of living clause in your income. Based on Ned Davis Research, the average holding period of stocks has decreased from 20 years from 1939 through 1970 down to just 1.67 years in 2012. This can be based in part on the fact that until the 1970s, the typical investor was a wealthy family passing down holdings from one generation to the next. Today, the largest share of investment activity is driven by retail investors. Historically, the focus was on fundamentals and long-term growth. Today, the focus is on today’s news or economic report. The media is partly to blame as they are paid to get your attention. This works best through hype and making insignificant information sound exciting. The aver-

age investor does not know what commentary is relevant and what is general noise since the announcers do such a good job of reporting with enthusiasm. Better use of technology also has a role in the short-term focus. A vast amount of timely information is available in every medium at no cost. You don’t have to listen to Granddad explain about the Great Depression and what price he bought the blue chip stock you now own, you can find anything you need in an instant. This constant stream of data causes us to think we could bypass losses by understanding the latest economic reports. In reality, markets work in very long cycles, rarely impacted by one quarter’s earnings or jobs report. Returns compound over time, which gives the investor the best riskadjusted returns. Making short-term changes rarely enhances your long-term performance. It is important to have a strategy and time frame for each goal. Enlist the help of an advisor or mentor to diversify your investments and rebalance your portfolio to keep profits working for you. We don’t have to go back two generations to learn how to invest. We should take advantage of all the tools and technology we have today, but filter out the noise that causes us to focus on the day or month instead of our life goals.

If our jobs have become mundane or boring, you know the same-old, same-old, day in and day out, maybe it’s because we stopped looking at the work we do with fresh eyes or inspired meaning. Sometimes the best “new” job is the job we already have, we just have to adjust our scope and look for the good, even look for opportunities to do something new that will make things better for ourselves, our associates, and even our clients. Think about it, we can be in control of creating something new, viewing something new, and experiencing new things in our existing world without ever having to actually purchase something brand new. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a new car, I love new golf clubs and skis just as much as the next golf and ski enthusiast, however, what I really enjoy is having the ability to look at my existing situation and

surroundings and finding ways to build “newness” into those areas that need a little freshening up or excitement. Our homes, friends, cars, relationships, jobs, workout routines, and just about everything we have or do can be enhanced if we would just apply a little “newness” imagination and fresh coat of thinking to each and every situation. How about you? Is there an area in your life that could benefit from a little bit of the “newness” factor? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we look at every aspect of our lives through a “new” lens, it will be a better than good week.

What’s that you say? It’s always something, isn’t it? Now there is something called “vocal fry.” I can’t even explain it. You will know it when you hear it. High school girls do it. It’s referred to as a “closing drawl.” It happens at the end of a sentence. There is something called “uptalk,” which also occurs at the end of a sentence. It turns everything into a question, as if something needs to be filled in by the listener. I had — had — a friend who began every statement with a question, which I felt obliged to answer. “Do you know how some people bite their forks? I think it is a sign of insecurity.” I never understood why she didn’t just say, “I think it’s a sign of insecurity when people bite their forks.” Perhaps it is her way of attempting to draw a listener into the conversation. She wondered why we stopped meeting for lunch. Also, have you ever “ssssshhhhhed!” someone in a library or a theater? It has a name. It’s called a “fortis voiceless alveopalatal fricative.” It’s just as annoying as whatever it is that you are “ssssshhhhhing.” Bob Hope used to make a throat sound in his movies whenever something startled him, or whenever Dorothy Lamour had a sarong malfunction. I used to practice it on Saturday mornings, and I finally got it. Now I find out it has a name. “Pulmonic-ingressive breathyvoiced rising tone neutral vowel.” It just sounds like someone who is partially gagging and gasping at the same time. Do you know anyone who tongueclucks? I don’t hear that very much anymore. It’s often a sign — a sound — of disapproval. We all misbehave much more than we used to, so it would be non-stop tongue-clucking if we didn’t think we would

be tongue-clucked right back. A tongue-cluck is referred to as an “alveolar, alveopalatal, or postalveolar click.” I have difficulty with some words. I have a heck of a time saying “Social Security.” And I can’t say “Little Italy” without taking it real slow. I once was told I had a “liquid L,” and that’s why pronouncing “Little Italy” is difficult. My parents named a dog “Lolly.” I refused to call her that. I called her “Janet” instead. I think I might have enjoyed studying speech disorders and speech impediments, and regional speech characteristics, like Professor Henry Higgins did in George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” (“Pygmalion” was made as a film, and titled “My Fair Lady.”) I think most of us can tell when someone is from Fargo, or Brooklyn or Mayberry. It’s not as easy as it once was, because we all move around more than we used to, and accents are intermixed. No one would ever be able to pinpoint my regional speech. It has no quirks. It’s quirkless. There’s probably a long name for it though. But it’s not “velar-ingressive linguadental fricative.” That’s sucking your teeth.

District files notice to appeal election ruling School leaders say decision could limit certain communication with public By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When a judge ruled that the Douglas County School District violated campaignfinance law in the lead-up to the November school board race, the decision left the board intact and the district was not fined for its actions. But DCSD has moved to have the ruling overturned, saying if left to stand, the decision would severely limit its ability to communicate with the public. On Feb. 13 — just inside the 49-day window open for it to do so — the school district filed a notice of appeal with the Colorado Court of Appeals. The filing is short on details, but notes an appeal may question if the Administrative Court erred when it found DCSD’s preelection distribution of a district-financed report constituted a contribution to the re-

form candidates’ slate. Those four candidates, including incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn, and newcomers Judi Reynolds and Jim Geddes, won the Nov. 5 election. DCSD so far has paid more than $62,500 to the law firm representing it in the case. Unsuccessful school board candidate Julie Keim filed the case in October, alleging the district violated the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act and attempted to influence the outcome of the election in several instances. In a Dec. 24 ruling, Judge Hollyce Farrell agreed with her on one of the points — which Keim said was the central issue. The use of district funds to pay for a September 2013 report praising DCSD’s reforms was the equivalent of a contribution to the four reform-slate candidates, Farrell ruled, because many of those who received it were potential voters in the November school board election. The judge did not levy a fine because Keim did not request one. District officials said in late December they would not only appeal, but seek to

have their legal costs covered. The most recent statement, issued Feb. 14, does not mention pursuing legal costs. “The Administrative Law Judge seems to have concluded that it is unlawful for the district ever to disseminate positive news involving its education policy if there also are candidates running for school board, or who may even run in the future, who happen to be pleased by that policy,” reads the email attributed to Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen. “The district does not agree with the Administrative Law Judge and believes her ruling is simply inconsistent with the law of Colorado.” The ruling would limit or “even silence” the school district’s ability to communicate with the community about important policy matters for “extensive periods before, during and after school board elections,” the statement continued. “We believe the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling, if left to stand, would effectively muzzle our school district and all public bodies from undertaking appropriate, meaningful communication with the

relevant community, now and in the future, unrelated to any specific candidate or campaign.” Keim said she’s disappointed in DCSD’s notice of appeal. “But I’m not surprised,” she said. “I just think once again they put their own selfinterest and egos ahead of taxpayers and students. “Public institutions should be able to disseminate unbiased information. However, the district’s actions went over the line and violated (the campaign act). I believe the judge’s ruling says it best: `The Hess Report was not a third-party, unbiased study’ and `The Hess Report was purchased with public money to influence the outcome of the Board election.’ ” The report titled, “The Most Interesting School District in America?” was written as part of a DCSD contract with Rick Hess of the American Enterprise Institute. The district emailed 85,000 community members about the “just-released white paper” in mid-September, and did not identify it as a district-paid product.

development (and) branding DCSD,” by developing new communication methods and PR marketing/strategy. The RFP is not posted on DCSD’s website, but on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System website. It notes that the contract for additional communications services will be “a firm, fixed price,” but doesn’t specify an amount. “This is not a competitive bid,” states the request, which allows DCSD to “select the vendor that best meets the needs of the district,” based on price, products, service capabilities and vendor qualifications.” The effort to hire a PR firm comes as the district’s spending on communications continues to rise sharply. In the last six months of 2013, the district spent about $325,000 in communications-

related expenses — nearly six times as much as it did in the same six-month period in 2012. About $217,500 of that was paid to Educational Measures LLC to redesign the district’s website. Some community members debate the necessity of enhanced communications, including hiring a PR firm. “As a taxpayer, parent, and grandparent, I question why DCSD needs a public relations firm when it has full-time communications professionals,” said Highlands Ranch resident and business owner Judith Purcell. “In its request for proposals, DCSD listed `crisis communications’ assistance as (a) PR need. However, DCSD could avoid this need and the associated expense if it

stopped creating crises of public confidence in Douglas County.” Also part of the spike in spending in the latter half of 2013 was $33,000 paid to marketing company Strategic Advantage, reportedly contracted to help write content and produce stories for the district’s electronic and printed newsletters. District officials say the increase is an investment that pays off in much-improved communications. “Two years ago, one of the biggest complaints we heard was regarding the quality and quantity of communication,” Hans wrote. “Over the last two years, we have invested in our district communication efforts to improve quality and consistency, as well as developing new tools.”

Staff report Two teams from Douglas County high schools are heading to the state mock trial competition in March after placing in regional competition. A team from Rock Canyon, with the named “Elbert,” won first place and a team from Mountain Vista, named “Brierstadt,” won second in the Douglas Regional High School Mock Trial Competition. Two teams from Douglas County High School, one team from Hope Online Learning Academy, two teams from Mountain Vista High School and five teams from Rock Canyon High School participated in the competition held Feb. 7-8 at the Douglas County Courthouse in Castle Rock. It is the fifth year the Douglas Elbert County Bar Association has hosted the re-

gional tournament, the competitions coordinator, attorney Teresa Wilkins said. The teams from Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista will advance to the state competition, March 14-15 at the Jefferson County Combined Courts in Golden. More than 100 high school teams participate in the statewide program, with around 1,500 students performing as attorneys and witnesses in simulated court cases. Hundreds of attorneys, judges, teachers and other community members volunteer time to instruct students about the judicial system through the program, according to the Colorado Bar Association, which has sponsored the program since 1985. Any Colorado high school, home school or community center program is eligible to participate, as long as student participants are enrolled in ninth to 12th grade. Each team must have at least one teacher or organizational sponsor and one attorney coach. For more information, visit www. coloradohighschoolmocktrial.com.

Avalanche kills Highlands Ranch skier Body of Kevin Kuybus found 24 hours after he went missing

from the bottom and top of the slide area until around 6 p.m. on Feb. 10, when conditions became too dangerous to continue, officials said. The search resumed the following morning.

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com The body of a Highlands Ranch man was found in the Colorado backcountry on Feb. 11, almost 24 hours after he went missing during an avalanche. Kevin Kuybus, 46, was skiing with a friend when the slide buried both individuals south of the Keystone Ski Resort in Summit County at around noon on Feb. 10. The other skier was able to dig himself out but was unable to locate Kuybus before seeking help, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Kuybus’ body was found at around 11:30 a.m. the following day in an out-of-bounds area near the resort by the Summit County Rescue Group. The cause of death has been determined as blunt-force trauma to the chest, according to the Summit County coroner’s office. Search teams with dogs were mounted

How it happened

Two avalanches may have merged during the incident, said Charles Pitman with the Summit County Rescue Group. “There was a Y-shape, and the center part of that `Y’ never released. So, the Kuybus belief is that there were two,” Pitman said, adding that officials from the resort used explosives to mitigate risk, and the snow still did not release. Pitman said emergency crews found Kuybus after his son told them that he had a tracking chip in his parka and boots. “We were very fortunate — with that knowledge, plus additional information from the reporting party to narrow down his location. We had to dig down to confirm that we knew what we had,” Pitman said.

“We were able to find him pretty quickly after that.” The avalanche debris field reached 2,000 feet in length and up to nine feet in depth. Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the slide.

`A spark in the room’

Kuybus, who served as a delegate with the Highlands Ranch Community Association, is survived by his wife and two children. A delegate for the last two years, staff and fellow delegates remembered him fondly, describing him as energetic and passionate about the community. “He was just kind of like a spark in the room, always the light,” HRCA spokeswoman Jaime Noebel said. “He was energetic, full of life. He always had a smile, always something silly he could say to you.” Erin Young, a fellow delegate, frequently sat next to Kuybus at monthly meetings. She recalled the man as “the most enthusiastically happy person I have ever met.” “It would be impossible to look at Kevin without ending up with a smile on your face,” she said. “His moods were contagious in a truly unique way, like his happiness

was too big for just one person.” Although she didn’t know him as well as she would have liked, Young said Kuybus was “a man that truly lived.” “He embraced every day, every person and every experience with a passion that was truly admirable,” she said. “I think anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him will always see him in their memory with a smile so contagious that they will find themselves smiling back at his memory.” Larry Perkins, another delegate who knew Kuybus from the HRCA, said he was “devastated” to hear the news. He recalled the man as an aggressive advocate. “He was always a guy who jumped in and helped out,” Perkins said. “The thing that sticks out in my mind is that he was an enthusiastic supporter (of the organization) and was a very forthright person.” When it came to community issues, Perkins said Kuybus never held back. “If he had an opinion, he let it be known,” he said. A memorial service for Kuybus will be held at 5 p.m. Feb. 21 at the World of Life Christian Center, 8700 E. Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.

Sides gear up for fracking battle Fight expected over possible November ballot measure By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle unlike any they’ve fought before. “We’ve got a serious fight on our hands in 2014,” said Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance. Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 fracking forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged. The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies in anticipation of a potential November ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates. Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Community Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in Lafayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there. If it makes it on to the ballot, the proposal — which was filed as a potential state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being. Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the proposal to make it on the November ballot. Cliff Wilmeng of the Colorado Community Rights Network says the ballot proposal

goes beyond allowing cities to ban fracking. “Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment,” he said. “The motivation is to ensure communities are able to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.” But the oil and gas industry knows exactly what the ballot proposal is all about — it’s a statewide effort that could have serious repercussions for the fracking business, something that they believe is a critically important industry practice. “The ground has shifted forever under our feet,” said Wrigley. “All eyes of the country are on our state now.”

No easy answers

Debate over fracking proves that there are no easy answers when it comes to this highly polarizing issue. Anti-fracking activists argue that it can have long-term effects on the environment and can cause drinking water contamination. Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to scratch the surface, as researchers continue to learn new information about the practice. For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells. But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil. “The facts are totally on our side,” said Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association. Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves successful. “It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy immediately.” But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas in-

dustry is being “short-sided” on this issue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets. “If the oil and gas industry is so confident in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.

The politics of fracking

Making the issue even more difficult are the complicated politics that surround it. Yes, polls show that most fracking supporters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. However, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well. Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Republican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a five-year moratorium on fracking. Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with environmental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hickenlooper’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these. “The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no respect for the fundamental right of democracy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said. The Legislature has also been criticized by anti-fracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue. Senate President Morgan Carroll, DAurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect methane near drill sites. Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way through the Capitol that would require warnings on home purchase contracts, letting potential buyers know wheth-

er the land is on a split-estate property where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session. At the same time, Carroll acknowledged the political realities associated with the fracking issue. “There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote counting-process. “Sometimes what’s popular or unpopular with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected officials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough movement (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the prerogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.” In the meantime, the fight over fracking continues and both sides are in the process of mapping out their strategies. Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice. “My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connection, building trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum. “Oil and gas has been here for 100 years and we’re going to be here for decades to come. How do we let people know that this has been done safely and effectively for communities for a very long time? That’s what we’re working on.” Wilmeng hopes that voters across the state connect to same message that rallied Lafayette voters — that the “unaccountable” oil and gas industry is engaging in a dangerous environmental practice that needs to be curbed. “We look at this as a movement,” he said of allowing local “self-determination” on matters such as fracking. “What we’re considering hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. There’s no question we’re moving forward on this.”

members to form the Second Wind Fund, which provides children and teens with 12 no-cost therapy sessions. The program has served 3,500 people in Colorado, and has proven highly effective. Second Wind Fund executive director Richard Eveleigh said Douglas County parents need to talk with their teens, and students need to talk to one another. “If you’re a parent, it’s absolutely important you have the conversation with your kids,” he said. “That is to say something like, `Hey, obviously there’s been a lot of talk recently about the tragedy of these suicides in your school or community.’ “Ask them specifically: `I need to know what’s going on for you. Is everything OK with you? Have you had thoughts of suicide yourself?’ And then the important thing is to really listen to what their response is. Usually, if you ask somebody a question about suicide directly, they will let you know.” If parents have any concerns, Eveleigh suggested contacting their student’s school counselor. While Thomas sees no evidence the four recent deaths are related, teens are particularly susceptible to suicide contagion — an amplification of self-destructive emotions triggered by the death of a friend or peer. “It’s incredibly important kids don’t promise confidentiality,” Eveleigh said. “They should tell a trusted adult if they are concerned about a friend of theirs — a school guidance counselor, teacher, anybody who is likely to take action. “The definition of a good friend isn’t promising confidentiality. It’s promising, `If you need help, I’m going to connect you to some help because what you’ve got to tell me is too important to keep secret.’” Students also can help with gestures and words that may seem small, but can have vital impact. “Being friendly to people, smiling at people in the corridor, being proactively social — that kind of peer support is really important,” Eveleigh said. “Being able to say, `You look a little lonely. Would you like to have lunch with us?’ Any positive kind of social engagement like that is huge.” Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people nationally. It is second in Colorado, according to the 2011 biannual Healthy Kids Colorado Survey.

n the heart of Centennial, there’s an oasis of activity called Holly Creek. On a 17-acre “campus” just northwest of where Arapahoe Road intersects South Holly Street, some 350 seniors are engaged in everything from tai-chi and singing and dancing to manufacturing wooden toys and broadcasting live from an on-site radio station. The Holly Creek “retirement community” is, in fact, anything but retiring. Residents bustle about the complex’s country club-like central building, which features towering 30-foot-tall wood paneled ceilings and museum-quality artwork. “We’re all living longer,” says Marilyn Berry, director of sales and marketing at Holly Creek. “The goal is to live longer healthier. Recent studies have shown that people who live in retirement communities live an average of six years longer.” Maintaining a high quality of life, says Berry, “is all about staying engaged — spiritually, socially, intellectually and physically.” At Holly Creek, where the average resident is 83, there are three restaurants, a movie theater, gym, indoor/outdoor pool, even a concierge desk. A not-for-profit, Holly Creek offers what Berry refers to as “a continuum of care:” 214 apartmenthomes and cottages, 28 “assisted living” apartments, 12 “memory care” rooms and a 24-bed skilled-nursing facility. As of Jan. 31, Holly Creek boasted a 100 percent occupancy rate. But residence at Holly Creek does not come inexpensively. There’s a one-time “entry fee” that starts at $199,000. Residents, Berry explains, also must meet certain financial standards and then sign a “Life Care Contract.” Monthly rent, based on the type of living accommodation, starts at $2,900 and covers everything but cable TV and Internet service. And if residents are fortunate enough to outlive their money, Berry says a privately funded foundation connected to Holly Creek “picks up their expenses and allows them to live here for the rest of their lives.” If residents decide to move out, 90 percent of their entry fee is refundable, Berry explains. “If they die, the entry fee is refunded to their estate.” Wind Crest, located in Highlands Ranch, is the South Metro area’s largest senior-living facility. Located off C-470 and Santa Fe and operated by for-profit, Maryland-based Erickson Living, the 85-acre development opened in 2007 and offers more than 1,000 senior apartments.

Kenny Sonoda, founding father of the Sonodas chain of sushi restaurants, has opted to call it quits on his LoDo eatery at 1620 Market St. after nearly 19 years. Sonoda, 65, is trying to retire, but his original spot at 3108 S. Parker Road in Aurora, a place he opened in 1995, will remain open. Here’s what Sonoda posted on www. sonodassushi.com: “With over 26 years in the business now behind me the time has come for me to hand up the knives and announce my retirement. And yet it is with more than a bit of sadness that I announce the closure of my Downtown Restaurant on Market Street on Feb. 15. “In 1973 I first came to Denver, Colorado, to help build and open the Gasho of Japan, a Japanese Hibachi style steak house in downtown Denver (1627 Curtis St.). In 1976, I returned to Denver to build a freestanding building of Gasho of Japan Restaurant. This time I build a replica of a 400-year-old Gasho farmhouse, found in Takayama City of Japan, the sister city to Denver, Colorado. This Gasho of Japan restaurant was located in DTC on Belleview and I-25 where Shanahan’s is currently standing.”

Chipotle a social media winner

According to the National Restaurant Association e-letter, Denver-based Chipotle’s position as lifestyle brand won the top spot on DigitalCoCo’s Restaurant Social Media Index, followed by McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway and Buffalo Wild Wings (all ick!) in the top five. Firehouse Subs and Hard Rock Cafe hit the top 10, both edging out Sonic and Jimmy John’s. The index measures influence, sentiment and engagement among more than 56 million social restaurant consumers.

Cherry Creek mall finally fills Saks spot

Fans of luxury home goods and lifestyle purveyor Restoration Hardware — now rebranded as RH — are in store for an unprecedented shopping experience at Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Next year, RH will open a four-story, full-line design gallery in the space formerly occupied by Saks Fifth Avenue. “The intent of this larger footprint, full line design gallery is to showcase the depth of our growing product assortment,” said Gary Friedman, RH chairman and CEO. “Cherry Creek has been a successful location for our existing store and will be the first Rocky Mountain venue for this new broader expression of our brand.” At 53,000 square feet — more than four times the size of the existing Cherry Creek store — the new, four-level, full-line design gallery will feature a multi-story atrium, outdoor garden and rooftop park.

Herb Bowman, 85, has lived at Holly Creek for five years. A retired nuclear physicist, he worked for Dow Chemical and at Rocky Flats and Los Alamos. His wife died in 2007, and he says he tried to live independently for two years but decided he “needed to have more daily interface with people.” “As soon as I walked into this place, I knew it was for me,” Bowman says. “The people here are what make the difference. I’ve met so many fascinating people.” Bowman likes to spend time in the complex’s woodworking shop crafting toy cars. “We’ve already made 50,000 of them,” he says. The wooden cars, stamped “Toys for God’s Kids,” are distributed to poor children around the world by missionaries and American soldiers. Bowman also participates in Holly Creek’s “outreach” program with nearby Cottonwood Creek Elementary. On Veterans Day, he and other World War II veterans — there are 70 residing at Holly Creek — put on a special presentation at the school. Carol Hodges and Hugh Petri, a married couple who are both retired college professors, moved into Holly Creek eight months ago, encouraged by their children, who live in the area. “As you go through the aging process, you plan in stages,” says Hodges, 71. “We hated to give up our wonderful home but with Hugh’s illness, we had to prepare for the future.” Petri, 76, suffers from a degenerative muscular disease and moves around with the aid of a walker. While Hodges works in the complex’s library, sings in the choir, edits the Holly Creek quarterly journal and still finds time to take part in daily exercise classes, Petri, a gourmet cook,

Our kids say they’ve never seen us so active.” Although Holly Creek markets itself as a “Christian Living Community,” marketing director Berry says that “people of all religions and beliefs are welcome.” Petri says that neither he nor his wife is a “believer. We’re agnostics actually,” he says. “But that has never been an issue. People here don’t proselytize.” Polly Snow, 86, has lived at Holly Creek for eight years. “This is a very supportive environ-

ment,” she says. “When my husband Robert died a year and a half ago, people were just wonderful. It was like having another family.” An avid bridge player, Snow says she still goes to lunch often with “outside” friends. And, like many other Holly Creek residents, finds ways to volunteer around the complex or in the surrounding community. Three years ago, Snow was stricken with stress cardio myopathy. On life support for a week, she ultimately recovered but spent four weeks in Holly Creek’s skilled nursing suites before returning to her old apartment. “They taught me how to swallow and walk again,” she says. “I’m really grateful. Now I’m fully recovered and back to full strength” — and on her way to another bridge game.

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com RedLine’s exhibit, “A New Attitude: CHEN Man’s Provocative Interpretations of Contemporary Chinese Women,” has been curated by Julie Seagraves, executive director of the Asian Coordinating Council in Denver. The Chinese artist’s first exhibit in the U.S. will include 32 images and will run March 1 to April 27 at RedLine. It is the second part of a yearlong series focusing on female artists called “She Crossed the Line.” “CHEN Man’s work has evolved since her first “Vision Magazine” cover in 2003. But the interaction of the real and imaginary, everyday and ideal, commercial art and Avant-garde art all continue to impact her photographs,” said Seagraves. CHEN Man was born in Beijing in 1980 and was drawing at a very early age. Her mother enrolled her in art classes and in a special arts high school, followed by graphics study at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. While still a student, she produced covers for “Vision Magazine,” described as a progressive Chinese art and fashion magazine, using post-production digital techniques that were new to China at the time.

IF YOU GO “A New Attitude: CHEN Man’s Provocative Interpretations of Contemporary Chinese Women” runs from March 1 to April 27 at RedLine, 2350 Arapahoe St., Denver. Admission is free. For schedule, see www.redlineart. org or call 303-296-4448. Subsequent shows in the “She Crossed the Line” series will be: “Senga Nengudi: The Performing Body” from June 6-July 20; “Harmony Hammond: Becoming/Unbecoming Monochrome” from Aug. 2 to Sept. 28; and “Surveying Judy Chicago” from Oct. 17 to Dec. 28.

Courtesy photo She also contributes regularly to Chinese editions of “Vogue,” “Elle,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “Cosmopolitan” and “Esquire” and had a large exhibition of her work exhibited at the Chinese Culture Center in Manchester, UK in 2012. She writes of her interpretation of Chinese culture, adapted by western techniques … a mix of Oriental and Western, “tacky and elegant…” and said she is influenced by Beijing street culture. Photoshop is an important tool and her computerized 3-D techniques are distinctive. She is currently married and has two young children. RedLine is a contemporary art center, located in Denver’s Historic Five Points, which also offers residency space to a rotating number of artists and encourages community participation in the arts. Readers interested in contemporary art will want to visit if they are not familiar with its influence in the local scene.

Woman thrives with experimental cancer drug Ellen Smith, of Centennial, a true ‘pioneer’ in groundbreaking clinical trials By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com In March 2008, Willow Creek resident Ellen Smith developed a nasty cough. “My doctor treated it as pneumonia but it just wouldn’t go away,” Smith says. “Finally, he sent me to the emergency room, where they discovered a large mass on one of my lungs. I never was a smoker so it was a big shock.” After Smith had a lung removed in August 2008 and then spent the following year battling lung cancer, her doctor told her the disease had progressed to Stage 4 and nothing more could be done. “It was a death sentence,” says Smith, 64, a former Douglas County kindergarten teacher. “But my family and I just didn’t accept it.” So Smith sought a second opinion, making an appointment at the Anschutz Medical Campus of the University of Colorado Hospital’s Cancer Center. She had heard doctors there were doing clinical trials on an experimental lung cancer drug. Made by the drug company Pfizer, the experimental drug, Crizotinib, was somewhat controversial when it was introduced in 2009, in part because of its cost — nearly $10,000 for a month’s worth of treatment. In June 2009, Smith was ac-

cepted into the CU Center’s program and became one of the first people in the world to receive the experimental drug. “It was exciting, but it was also frightening,” Smith says. “There were no precedents.” Almost immediately after starting the drug regimen, Smith began to feel better. While the Crizotinib did have a number of side effects, it kept her cancer in remission for two years. Smith took full advantage of her new lease on life: She got married again, watched her daughter get married, traveled with her husband to Europe and welcomed three new grandchildren to the world. “I’ve had a fantastic support system,” she says. “There’s a reason I need to be here. There’s a lot to live for.” Smith’s remarkable story of survival is inspiring — and encompasses many “firsts in the world of lung cancer research,” said Dr. Ross Camidge, director of the lung cancer program at the University of Colorado and Smith’s oncologist. “Ellen originally came to see me for a second opinion,” Camidge explains. “When we examined her, we found she had this very specific molecular abnormality in her cancer. Even if you look within the lung cancer, there are very specific subsets of cancer on the molecular level.” Smith’s subsets responded very favorably to Crizotinib. “It’s not a cure but it’s a great way of controlling the cancer,” Camidge said. While Camidge marvels at Smith’s tenacity, Smith is also a big fan of her doctor. “He is brilliant and yet so down

to earth,” she says. “I couldn’t ask for a better doctor.” In 2011, when Crizotinib stopped working, Smith again became a medical pioneer, undergoing a new kind of “targeted chemotherapy” that Camidge says kept her cancer at bay for another 18 months. “After we learned how the cancer evolves to get around the drug, that’s when we started the new chemo program we call `weeding the garden,’ ” Camidge said. “Ellen has been the first to get these new types of treatment. They have beaten her cancer back — and proven new findings that will benefit many others.” These treatments include what Camidge calls “re-challenging” the cancer with the original targeted drug after intervening with chemotherapy, which the doctor says allows the cancer to “forget” about its previous resistance to the drug. Recently, a very small spot of Smith’s cancer has returned and Camidge has begun treating her with a second-generation version of Crizotinib. Smith remains upbeat and extremely hopeful that the medical advances she is helping prove will once again save her life. “There is so much research and discovery going on right now,” Smith says. “If you have to have cancer, this is the time to have it.” The Anschutz-University of Colorado Hospital and Cancer Center’s thoracic oncology program is among the top in the nation, with five-year lung cancer survival rates almost four times the national average. “We in Colorado are so lucky to have the Anschutz Center right here on our doorstep,” says Smith.

Ochitwa touches up for two titles ThunderRidge swimmer leads local charge at Class 5A state finals By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Annie Ochitwa claims her preparation before the final day of the Class 5A state swimming and diving championships was nothing unusual. The ThunderRidge junior had recorded the state’s best times in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events during the season and had the fastest times in both events in the Feb. 14 preliminaries. So what did she do to psych herself up for the finals? “We stayed in a hotel,” Ochitwa said. “We got there and watched Food Network and went to sleep. Nothing out of the usual.” She admits that she had lots of thoughts about foods she avoided while training. “Yes, cake, lots of cake,” said Ochitwa. Ochitwa must have dreamt about state championships as well as cakes because she claimed both the 50 and 100 freestyle championships on Feb. 15 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. After finishing second as a freshman and sophomore in the 50 and coming in second and third in the 100 the past two seasons, she was motivated to stand on top of the podium this year. Ochitwa captured the 50 with a time of 23.11 seconds, which was 0.15 of a second better than Legend junior Lauren Moden, who touched up for second. “I really wanted to win and I knew I could,” Ochitwa said. “After

ThunderRidge’s Annie Ochitwa was the only double winner Feb. 15 at the State High School Swimming meet at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. She won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. Photo by Jim Benton the past two years, it made it even better to win this year. I was confident but swimming against all these girls, you get nervous. But I was confident the whole time.” In the 100-yard freestyle, Ochitwa’s 49.92-second swim, again placed her ahead of Moden, who was second with a time of 50.45. “I put all the pressure on myself,” said Ochitwa. “I didn’t feel any pressure from anyone else. It’s amazing. It makes it so much better to win twice after the last two years. I definitely want to be first

again next year.” Ochitwa, who became the first individual state swimming champion in school history, also swam a leg on ThunderRidge’s 200-yard medley relay team that was fifth. Two other south metro swimmers were crowned state champions. Arapahoe junior Ella Moynihan who entered the meet as the top seed in the 200-yard freestyle won the finals in 1:49.55, beating out defending champion Erin Metzger-Seymour of Ralston Val-

ley. “I was just so filled with pride for my school, I mean coming from Arapahoe with the year that we’ve had,” said Moynihan who was fourth in the 100 freestyle and was also on the Warriors’ third place 200 freestyle relay team. “I wanted it so bad for my school. … Seeing all my teammates out there cheering for me was amazing.” Moynihan made sure the finish wasn’t close as Metzger-Seymour was timed in at 1:50.72. “I was going for it,” said Moyni-

han. “All of us are best friends. I was psyched. We are all so talented here, anything could have happened. It all went in my favor. I had Erin right next to me and Shelly (Drozda of Mountain Range) and those are both crazy competitors. I knew it was not going to come easy. I had to go out and earn that win. I don’t know if I could have swam any better. That was a personal best.” Abigail Kochevar, a sophomore at Rock Canyon, captured the 100yard backstroke with a winning time of 54.99 seconds. She was also third in the 50 freestyle. “It feels good to be a state champion,” said Kochevar. “I’ve been working on my backstroke for such a long time and to get this is like everything. I felt I had a chance but I was so overwhelmed with nerves and it helped to swim.” Kaitlin Costello of the Douglas County/Castle View team was second in the diving competition but was voted by the state’s coaches as the Diver of the Year. Regis Jesuit edged Fairview to win the state title, 254.50-248, in the team standings. Cherry Creek tied for fourth, Arapahoe sixth, ThunderRidge eighth, Heritage ninth and Rock Canyon 10th. In Class 4A, Valor Christian sophomore Brooke Stenstrom won two events at the state meet at Eldora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins. Stenstrom captured the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.66 seconds and also was the state champion in the 100 freestyle with a time of 51.70. She also swan the final leg of the Eagles 200 yards freestyle relay team that finished second to Thompson Valley. Valor was fifth in the team standings.

Jaguars shoot past Sabercats in boys action Rock Canyon wins backyard battle with tourney seeding at stake By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon and Castle View may have been eliminated from the Continental League’s boys basketball title chase but the schools recent clash was nothing short of important. Wins in the concluding regular season games are vital for both teams to improving seeding for the 48-team Class 5A state playoffs that are scheduled to begin Feb. 27. Neither team put on much of an offensive show on Feb. 13 but the Jaguars notched a 46-35 victory over the Sabercats in a game played at Rock Canyon’s Jungle. “Oh man, any win is important in this league,” said Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams. “There are no easy teams in this league.” Rock Canyon improved to 4-5 in the league and 11-10 overall with the victory. The Jaguars then played at Heritage Feb. 18 and wind up the league campaign with a Feb. 21 game at ThunderRidge. Castle View saw its record dip to 3-6 and 9-12 overall. The Sabercats had a Feb. 18 game at ThunderRidge before a regular season finale against Douglas County.

“It was a huge game,” acknowledged Castle View coach Tory Mansfield. “We’re in the middle of our league with Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge. It was a devastating loss for us. We could have gotten ahead of Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge. Now we are behind both.” Rock Canyon started quickly, grabbing a 17-10 first quarter lead, and then survived a scoring famine in a low-scoring second period when the teams combined to score only 10 points. The Jaguars went ahead 20-12 on a three-point play by Luke Ewan with 6:44 in the second stanza but didn’t score again for nearly seven minutes until Evan Noyes’ basket with two seconds remaining in the half. Fortunately for Rock Canyon, Castle View could only outscore the Jaguars 3-2 during the 6:44 before intermission. “They switched to a zone and we had a hard time making shots,” explained Grams. “They got us out of our flow. We had 17 points in the first quarter, we had a hard time adjusting to what they did in their zone. … You have to give a lot of credit to their defense. They must focus on defense a lot because they are in a lot of games.” Poor shooting, however, doomed the Sabercats. Castle View shot 28.6 percent from the floor and was held to its lowest point output of the season. “We shoot a lot of 3’s and some

of them were good looks,” said Mansfield. “But we shot 2-for-16. You can’t beat these guys coming up here and scoring 35 points. “Rock Canyon’s defense was very good. … We didn’t make shots. We had our chances. I can’t shoot for them.” Rock Canyon shot 42.4 percent from the floor and was led by senior Eli Hirsch with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Tyler Garcia added 13 points for the Jaguars. “Eli played really well,” said Grams. “He’s had a yearlong (hip) injury and we’re so happy to have him back. … He’s still getting his legs under him and figuring out our system again, but he can really shoot the ball.” Hirsch, playing in his sixth game of the season, following a year of rehabilitation, had nine points in the fourth quarter and swished four free throws as Rock Canyon made 9-of-12 attempts from the foul line in the final 1:24 to preserve the win. “In the last five games we’ve had a lot of pressure situations, a lot of close games and we’ve missed those free throws,” noted Grams. “We have a lot of young players that need to step up and learn that they can make them. We did survive a lot. It was a gritty win against Castle View.” Matt Dowsey, who scored all of Castle View’s five points in the third quarter, led the Sabercats with 12 points.

Golden Eagles skate into tourney on high note Playoff matchups set for 16team high school hockey field By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mountain Vista’s hockey team got a preview of the state playoff competition in a Feb. 7 game against Lewis-Palmer at the Colorado Sports Center in Monument. In the battle of unbeaten league teams, the Golden Eagles captured the Peak Conference title and earned a No. 1 playoff seed with a 5-1 triumph over the Rangers. “They did a good job of playing against a good team going into the playoffs,” said Lev Cohen, coach of the consolidated Mountain Vista team that is made up of six Douglas County schools. “We’ve played the way we have all year because we want to be ready for the playoffs. I think we are ready to go.” Mountain Vista will host one of the fourteam pods in the 16-team bracket for first and second round games on Feb. 21 and 22 at South Suburban Ice Arena. The Golden Eagles (18-1) will play Resurrection Christian (9-8-2) in a 7:30 p.m.

game Feb. 21, while Regis Jesuit (15-3-1) plays Doherty (10-8) at 3 p.m. Winners will play at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in a quarterfinal game with a berth in the Final Four at stake. Cherry Creek (15-3-1) will challenge Pine Creek (10-7-1) in a 4:45 p.m. contest at the Colorado Sport Center, as Lewis-Palmer (17-2) will face Steamboat Springs (10-6-1) in the second first round game played in Monument. Heritage (11-8) plays Columbine (117-1) at 8:45 p.m. at the Boulder Valley Ice Arena in Superior while Monarch (16-1-2) and Cheyenne Mountain (8-10) meet in the opening first round game. The other four-team pod features Ralston Valley (19-0) taking on Pueblo County (9-8-2) at 6:45 p.m. and Bishop Machebeuf (12-6-1) facing Dakota Ridge (12-34) at 4:30 p.m. at the APEX in Arvada. The Final Four will be held Feb. 28 and March 1 at the Denver Coliseum. Mountain Vista has lost in the first round and quarterfinals the past two seasons and has its sights set on getting to the semifinals this year. “The goal from day one was to get to the Final Four at the Coliseum,” admitted Cohen. “This team has the mindset and deter-

mination to prove that they belong.” Mountain Vista will get leading scorer Ryan Daugherty back for its game against Resurrection Christian. Daugherty has missed four games because of a concussion. However, the Golden Eagles have lost forward Austin Ansay who broke his wrist against Lewis-Palmer. “Daugherty was cleared to play against Lewis-Palmer but we made the decision to give him the extra rest,” said Cohen. “We’ll have that top line back for Friday.” Daugherty will rejoin line mates Branden Tangney and Tanner Gillis. That line has combined for 57 goals and 120 points this season. Mountain Vista has outscored its opposition 176-16 with the Golden Eagles lone loss coming in a 4-3 overtime setback to defending state champion Ralston Valley. “Our goalie (Joe Morgan) is playing well,” said Cohen. “Our defense is solid. Most importantly we are getting a lot of production offensively out of our defense, which is the new kind of hockey we play today. To have defensemen than can score is huge. “Matt Adams, our captain, has been just absolutely awesome all year. He has taken the lead on the ice and off. He’s playing real

well. We’ve got a couple good young sophomores in John Newman and Michael Karas who have played awesome. All of our defensemen have played well.” Adams, a senior defenseman, has 11 goals and 31 points and he has combined with Newman and Karas to produce 19 goals for the Golden Eagles. Cherry Creek has won 10 of its last 11 games and leading scorer Cody Oakes, who has tallied 17 goals and 23 points, will direct the Bruins’ offense. Heritage and Columbine will be meeting for the second time this season. The Rebels scored a goal with 18 seconds remaining in the third period to post a 3-2 win over Heritage in the first head-to-head matchup of the season. “Both teams are evenly matched with goals for and goals against,” said Heritage coach Jeremy Sims. “We’re playing pretty well. We’re moving the puck a lot better. Jake Wener, our captain and Josh Mazar, a junior, are starting to play pretty well.” Mazar, who has 27 points, and Wener, 21 points, play on the same line for Heritage and key the Eagles offensive attack. Chad Curd is the leader of Heritage’s defensive front.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEb 17, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Some unsettling facts about a past situation could come to light. And while you’d love to deal with it immediately, it’s best to get more information to support your case. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A straightforward approach to a baffling situation is best. Don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an already messy mass of tangles and lies. Deal with it and move on. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Don’t be discouraged or deterred by a colleague’s negative opinion about your ideas. It could actually prove to be helpful when you get around to finalizing your plan.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Ignore that sudden attack of “modesty,” and step up to claim the credit you’ve so rightly earned. Remember: A lot of people are proud of you and want to share in your achievement. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A financial “deal” that seems to be just right for you Leos and Leonas could be grounded more in gossamer than substance. Get an expert’s advice to help you check it out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Don’t ignore that suddenly cool or even rude attitude from someone close to you. Asking for an explanation could reveal a misunderstanding you were completely unaware of. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Unless you have sound knowledge, and not just an opinion, it’s best not to step into a family dispute involving a legal matter, regardless of whom you support. Leave that to the lawyers. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) An awkward situation presents the usually socially savvy Scorpian with a problem. but a courteous and considerate approach soon helps clear the air and ease communication. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A calmer, lesstense atmosphere prevails through much of the week, allowing you to restore your energy levels before tackling a new challenge coming up by week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your approach to helping with a friend or family member’s problem could boomerang unless you take time to explain your method and how and why it (usually!) works. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Someone who gave you a lot of grief might ask for a chance for the two of you to make a fresh start. You need to weigh the sincerity of the request carefully before giving your answer. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Too much fantasizing about an upcoming decision could affect your judgment. better to make your choices based on what you know now rather than on what you might learn later. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of seeing the best in people and helping them live up to their potential. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Rock Canyon tops Castle View on hardwood Rally Jaguars get best of Top 10 clash in girls basketball By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com In a Continental League showdown between two Top 10 girls teams, Rock Canyon edged Castle View, 66-60, on Feb. 13 at Rock Canyon. With the win, the Jaguars, ranked 10th in the Feb. 10 CHSAANow.com poll, bettered their record to 15-5 overall and 7-2 in league play with games against Heritage (Feb. 18), ThunderRidge (Feb. 20) and D’Evelyn (Feb. 21) remaining on the regular season slate. Seventh-ranked Castle View (15-6, 5-4) played ThunderRidge on Feb. 18 and wraps up its league slate Feb. 21 against Douglas County. Rock Canyon had four seniors finish in double figures against the Sabercats led by Lexy Thorderson’s 22 points. Kendall Koslosky added 12 while Erin McClarie and Morgan Roos each had 10. Thorderson and Koslosky have both surpassed the 1,000-point milestone in their Rock Canyon careers. Thorderson has scored 1,287 points and Koslosky 1,057. Savannah Heebner came off the Castle View bench to score 11 points and grab seven rebounds. Jess McGovern had 10 points and eight boards for the Sabercats. Castle View shot only 10 free throws in the game compared to Rock Canyon, which made 19-of-26 attempts from the charity line.

third and set our minds to do that. We got it done.” Moore scored all of his 13 points in the second half and finished the game with five steals and six rebounds, drawing praise from Wood. “He played well in the second half, he responded,” said Wood. “Chaparral is a talented team. They are really big and go to the boards hard. I thought we were able to get enough rebounds and they send so many guys to the boards that we got our fast break going and got some transition layups and made free throws down the stretch to put the game away.” Jake Pemberton led the Golden Eagles with 21 points, Brady Subart scored 12, and 6-3 senior Graham Smith added 10 points, 13 rebounds, six steals and three assists. Chaparral committed 23 turnovers and coach Rob Johnson said it was those mistakes that powered Mountain Vista transition game and strong finish. “We knew if we kept turning it over, they would have two-on-ones and three-on-ones,” said Johnson. “We knew if we could stop turning it over, we wouldn’t have to watch their transitions so much. But we couldn’t. Chris Moody, a 6-6 junior, paced the Wolverines with 15 points while Jake Holtzman added 12 and Chase Coon scored 11 points. Dalton finished with 11 rebounds.
