Friends Josh Genuario and Ty Chirico stopped by to check out the igloo.

Fan Tsuei is a 10-year Lone Tree resident. Over the winter break, his son Marcus Tsuei, 12, a seventh-grader at Cresthill Middle School, with help from cousins Taylor Chou and Erin Chou of Florida, and Kyle Weng of Parker, worked relentlessly for five days to build a big igloo on their front lawn. Igloo building during the holidays has become a favorite family tradition of theirs. This is the group’s third and the biggest igloo.

Local show examines cyberbullying ‘Out of Bounds’ equips parents, teens with tools

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kristy Arellano knew her daughter was struggling with depression. She had no idea her daughter was suicidal.

Parents are often the last to know when their teen is being bullied online.

Threats and taunts are made within the social media sphere, often out of view

from adults, and can take on a life of their own. In the days before she attempted suicide, Kiana Arellano was the victim of such bullying.

“The week before and the night before is when it turned nasty,” Kristy Arellano says. “When we discovered that, we knew it was the tipping point.”

The Highlands Ranch teen’s story, as told by her mom, helped convince the Colorado General Assembly last year to pass “Kiana’s Law,” which includes cyberbullying in a harassment statute and makes it a misdemeanor crime punish-

able by up to six months in jail.

The National Conference of State Legislatures says more than 30 states have adopted cyberbullying laws in the last few years.

Now Kristy Arellano is using her voice to reach a regional audience during the “Out of Bounds” presentation Feb. 3 at the PACE Center in downtown Parker.

The production is based on interviews with real cyberbullying victims and uses humor and dramatic storytelling to drive

The public will now have more opportunity to comment at Douglas County School Board meetings and will no longer need to wait until the end of the meeting to speak on non-agenda items.

On Jan. 19, the board approved the new public-comment procedure, which loosens the previous restrictions on the number of speakers and the overall length of time for the public-comment period. Public comment on any item will be now be three minutes per speaker, with no predetermined limit on the number of speakers.

In addition, comment on non-agenda items was moved up to the beginning of meetings rather than the end. The board president will have the power to limit the number of speakers in the interest of time or to prevent a filibuster.

“We have a well-educated and involved community with diverse expertise. I value their feedback and rely on many sources of information so I can make the best decisions possible,” said board member AnneMarie Lemieux. “This resolution will allow for better communication.”

The policy was last changed in 2014 to allow for three minutes of public comment on board agenda items and a fiveminute general public opportunity at the end of meetings. Speakers were asked to sign up online by 3 p.m. of the day of the meeting. The new policy continues to require online sign-up in advance.

The previous policy, which was implemented in 2009, had general public comment at the beginning of meetings and allowed speakers to sign up in person right before the meeting.

South Suburban grows in Lone Tree

FACES AMONG US

District: Most of current property is ranchland

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

PAMELA KELLY Lone Tree resident, senior general manager of Park Meadows mall

My background I’m a Nebraska girl. I went to college in Nebraska. I was always interested in marketing and law. When I was a senior in college I answered an advertisement for what I thought was an advertising agency and it was actually for a promotions director position in a mall. That’s how I started.

Malls across America Because I was young and dumb, I went all over the county and garnered a great deal of wonderful experience opening different malls. The company was based in California, so anytime they needed someone from outside of the area to go some-

where, that was me. From there, I went into operations and I managed malls. In 1991, I went into a leasing and development role, so there were some really great malls where I got to go in and reinvent them.

Eyeing Lone Tree I always kind of had my eye on Park Meadows. So, in 1995, when they posted the position, 11 managers in our company actually applied to the posting. A lot of those managers were really far more experienced than I was. When they selected me, I said, “I’m thrilled, but I want to know why you chose me?” and he said, “Because your experience was varied.” While I was a working mom raising my children, I had a situation where I wasn’t always able to take promotions or move. I tell this story to my children because you always want to bloom where you’re planted and do a great job because the only point of differentiation I had in 1995 when I applied for Park Meadows is that I had done so many different things.

Did you know?

I am silly and clumsy.

Land in Lone Tree covering nearly 783 acres has been added to the area that makes up the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

The inclusion is a compilation of properties located west of Interstate 25 in the city, owned by the City of Lone Tree, Rampart Range Metropolitan District No. 1, RidgeGate Investments Inc. and SpringGate LLC. From the northeastern corner of the land, just south of the Cabela’s store, the land stretches south to Lone Tree’s southern boundary, and west to take in all but a small por-

tion of that quadrant of the city.

According to South Suburban, most of the property is currently ranchland, and is located in an imminent development area for residential and commercial venues. There has been no change in ownership of the property.

The inclusion will provide an array of parks, trails and recreation features and services to Lone Tree residents on the west side of I-25. South Suburban operates the Lone Tree Recreation Center as well as the Lone Tree Golf Club & Hotel, among a number of other local facilities.

“This means, as that property is developed, those who live there will receive the same district benefits, rates and amenities as other residents of Lone Tree, west of I-25,” said Jamie DeBartolomeis, a spokesperson for South Suburban.

Lone Tree election nears Staff report Lone Tree will elect a new mayor and two new council members on May 3.

Council seats up for re-election are: mayor (seat is currently held by Jim Gunning), council member for District 1 (seat is currently held by Harold Anderson) and council member for District 2 (seat is currently held by Kim Monson). All seats are four year terms.

The election will be by mail ballot, and ballots will be mailed no later than April 18.

Ballots can be dropped off at the Municipal Building, 9220 Kimmer

Drive, Lone Tree during regular business hours (Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.).

Ballots must be received (not postmarked) by 7 p.m. on Election Day, May 3.

There will be a candidate informational meeting on at 10 a.m. Feb.1 at the city offices, 9220 Kimmer Drive.

Potential candidate petition circulation will be from Feb 2-22.

If you are unable to attend the candidate orientation and would like information, please contact City Clerk Jennifer Pettingerat 303-708-1818 or by email at jennifer.pettinger@cityoflonetree.com.

DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS

Board member urges survey of teacher time

Evaluations, assessments are focus of Ray’s proposal

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com During the Jan. 19 Douglas County School Board meeting, board member David Ray proposed a new districtwide survey that would look at how teachers’ time is being spent.

“The purpose was to resolve that we do everything possible to protect student instructional time,” Ray said. “There have been too many distractions that have resulted in much undue stress on our teachers and their ability to teach.”

Ray hopes to find out how much time teachers are spending on plans, evaluations and the uploading of assessment materials.

“How much time does it take for a teacher to develop a backward plan?

How much time does it take a teacher to upload performance evidence in InspireEd? How much time does it take a teacher to complete the new Elementary Progress Report? How much time does it take teachers to navigate the GVC (Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum) and conduct benchmark assessments?” Ray asked.

A number of district teachers spoke at the meeting in support of Ray’s proposal.

Jane Anttila has been a teacher in the district for almost 22 years. She currently works with about 100 gifted or highly able students at different elementary schools in Douglas County.

“As I told director (Wendy) Vogel when she came to our school last week, every single night at home and every single day at work, I have to make a choice on working on CITE requirements or preparing and teaching the students,” Anttila said. “No surprise, I choose the kids, which means I am frantically trying to get my backwards plans done and CITE evidence in order in my nonexistent spare time, which of course, will happen at home.”

CITE is the district’s teacher evaluation system.

Niki Mitchell is a kindergarten teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary and has been teaching in the district for 23 years.

She said over the past several years there has been a disconnect between what teachers are doing in the classroom versus what is required in evaluations.

“How is this making me a better teacher? It isn’t. In fact, just the opposite. It’s draining me physically and mentally,” Mitchell said. “ I’m good at what I do because I am passionate about kids every day. I am not passionate about backward planning. I’m not passionate about 21st Century skills and I am not passionate about World Class Outcomes.”

‘The purpose was to resolve that we do everything possible to protect student instructional time.

There have been too many distractions that have resulted in much undue stress on our teachers and their ability to teach.’

David Ray, board member

The resolution also directs the superintendent to place an immediate moratorium on any new initiative that might result in additional time requirements placed on teachers.

“No more surprises like a new EPR (Elementary Progress Report) or trying out new performance-based assessments,” Ray said. “The pause button needs to be pushed and an accounting taken for what the district’s vision of reinventing education is doing to our teachers and most importantly the impact it is having on our learners.”

The district released a survey compiled in November on Jan. 20. The survey of 1,720 certified staff (teachers) touched on some of the topics in question, including how teachers are educated and supported in completing their assessments and evaluations.

On the statement “I am empowered to

take risks, supported by the convergence of the research, regarding what is best for students,” 81 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed. The full survey can be found at dcsdk12.org.

“I think there is overlap. I’m not sure how many people recognize it or think it’s a good overlap,” said board President Meghann Silverthorn. “There are certain folks in the community that advocate for a survey that says, ‘We want the district to ask us questions that we want to answer.’

I don’t read minds, so I don’t know what those questions might be.”

The resolution will be brought back to the board for a second reading at the next meeting on Feb. 2.

“My vision for surveys and gathering information is that the initial survey that we did in November is just the beginning,” Silverthorn said. “We started the conversation.”

Dream uncorked: Winery hits right notes Purgatory Cellars opened at Parker location in 2015

is outpacing supply.

“I would say things for us have gone very, very well so far,” Tassler said. “And at the rate it’s going, it looks like it’s going to get a whole lot better.”

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The offer and the wine were sufficiently convincing to pull Gary Tassler away from an idyllic life.

“I was living in Europe, didn’t really have a job, wasn’t doing much of anything,” Tassler said. “I was drinking wine and drinking beer and riding a bicycle.”

This was Tassler’s life for five years after he abruptly decided to turn down a new position at the major package delivery company where he was a finance and accounting manager. He’d been working 100 to 120 hours a week for years and was completely burned out. So he traded a hectic corporate life for early retirement.

That is, until Marko Copic brought him back to the Denver area with an offer.

How it all started It’s funny how things work out. Copic, a native of Croatia and brother of one of Tassler’s employees at the delivery company, was planning to open a winery with his sibling.

Tassler knew of the business plan and that the Copics had shipped their winemaking equipment to the United States.

They were looking to buy an existing winery in the Denver metro area, but decided to start their own and landed on an empty space two doors down from a brewery in Parker. The Copics asked Tassler if he was interested in helping them launch the winery.

“They knew I didn’t have a job and they knew I was dumb enough to work 120 hours a week,” Tassler said with a hearty laugh.

Reluctant to end his five-year vacation, Tassler initially turned down the offer, but relented after realizing he would enjoy being a part of building something fresh and exciting from the ground up. He planned to be the finance guy. However, after Copic’s brother sold Tassler his share, a new partnership was born.

The result?

Tassler once again found himself working more than 100 hours a week. He and Copic spent 83 consecutive days making 35,000 bottles of wine in-house to last Pur-

“There were probably 20 nights where we didn’t go home,” Tassler said. “It was just the two of us.”

Uncorking a dream Purgatory Cellars, so named for an abandoned mining town in southwestern Colorado where the partners searched for wine-making grapes, opened last April to unexpected fanfare. The posting of six photos to a brand-new Facebook page before opening elicited an encouraging response: 3,600 organic views within 24 hours.

It created an anticipatory buzz and proved Copic was correct in his answer to the commonly asked question: Why open a winery in Parker? “Because Parker needs a winery.”

“So it appears that Parker really did need a winery,” Tassler said, paraphrasing Copic’s answer.

Mark Hague, who moved to Parker two years ago, stopped by Purgatory Cellars in early January after hearing about the winery from a friend. Tassler promptly provided a tour of the wine list. Hague said he occasionally stops by Vines Wine Bar in downtown Parker, but said “it’s nice to know there is another place to go” to entertain visitors from out of town or gather with friends on a Friday or Saturday night.

With the exception of the plumbing, the duo transformed Purgatory Cellars into what it is today: an elegant-yet-rustic meeting ground in which barrels full of aging wine tower in plain view over visitors.

Purgatory was meant to be a winery with a tasting room, but the tasting room has morphed into a wine bar because of the sizable crowds on evenings and weekends.

Things have gone so well, in fact, that the owners decided to cut off all outside sales.

Purgatory Cellars wine cannot be found at restaurants, festivals or stores yet. Even though the duo made 9,000 bottles of wine to start things out, it has found that demand

A perfect pour The success is not simply due to the fact that Parker finally has a winery. The 14 wines on the menu — from a Riesling made using an ancient Egyptian technique to an incredibly popular Malbec with hints of prunes, molasses and spice — have received rave reviews from connoisseurs and novices alike. The wines are made mostly with grapes grown in Colorado.

The concoctions are the culmination of a long-standing family tradition and 20 years of Copic honing his skills. He reads a lot of books on winemaking and has learned through trial and error. He’s also known to buck tradition.

“Sometimes you need to be brave,” Copic said during a phone call from Croatia, where he is buying more equipment and visiting family.

The wine has attracted admirers from across the country, Tassler said, and dozens are on the waiting list once Purgatory launches its wine-of-the-month club. But when you ask Copic, he insists that winemaking has been a hobby for much of his life.

“He might call himself a hobbyist,” Tassler warned. “Don’t let him kid you.”

The winery is preparing to bottle 30 different wines, including a Zinfandel port that Tassler calls “absolutely gorgeous,” and will release them in the coming months. Going from making 9,000 bottles in 2014 to 35,000 bottles in 2015 was a significant uptick in production. But it’s nothing compared to the next round of winemaking later this year, in which Copic believes the pair can produce 100,000 bottles.

Purgatory will expand into the vacant space next door so it can host wedding receptions and other gatherings without closing down the wine bar. Tassler believes the winery will double its sales when the new space is unveiled later this year, and that estimate doesn’t include sales at restaurants, festivals or the wine-of-the-month club.

When asked if 100,000 bottles will be enough, Tassler smiled when delivering his answer: “We’re going to cut it really close.”

ELECTION 2016

Commissioner candidates go on the record Two Republican women are vying to succeed term-limited Jill Repella

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two Highlands Ranch residents are running to replace Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella in District 3.

To many in the county, the two Republican women looking to replace Repella are familiar faces, though

As of Jan. 25, no Democrats or third-party candidates had filed paperwork to run for the office.

Repella is finishing up her final year on the board because of term limits. The Republican was elected to the board of commissioners in 2008 and re-elected in 2012.

The District 2 commissioner’s seat also will be on this year’s ballot. Incumbent Roger Partridge is the only candidate to have filed paperwork so far.

they have different backgrounds. Monica Wasden is a businesswoman, while Lora Thomas is a former county coroner.

Republican Party caucuses will be held March 1 followed by a county assembly on March 19 to determine who will make the June primary ballot. The winner of the primary then moves on to the November general election.

Businesswoman eyes continued economic growth for county

Former coroner touts record of saving taxpayers money

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Monica Wasden was born and raised in Chico, California, a rural area in the north part of the state known for its almonds and rice fields.

She was one of the few people in her family to receive a college degree.

“Most of my family hasn’t gone on to higher education or real careers that make you feel good about yourself,” she said.

She received a degree in criminal justice from Butte College, the local community college.

Wasden met her husband — Jeff Wasden, who is now president of the Colorado Business Roundtable, a business advocacy group — when she was 17 years old. Years later, they started a life together in Oroville, California. She ran the public defenders office and he was in teaching school. The things she saw through work in the small town made her want to find another place to raise their son, Jordan.

“Additionally, the school system was not the quality we had hoped for,” she said. “We really wanted to find a place where our son could attend a great school and be a part of a great community.”

Meanwhile, Wasden’s sister was working in Denver and convinced the couple to venture to Colorado. They moved to Douglas County 20 years ago.

“Within 72 hours, we bought a house,” she said. “It was a leap of faith — it felt right. We never looked back and we love Douglas County.”

Wasden, 48, runs a family-business in Littleton, PROformance Apparel. Her staff of 12 does screen printing, embroidery and creates signs and banners for companies.

The Highlands Ranch resident said she empowers her employees rather than micromanaging.

“I would never ask them to do anything I wouldn’t do myself,” she said. “I clean toilets, I vacuum.”

The Republican plans to bring her experience — which includes helping start the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce — to the role of county Wasden commissioner.

“With my business experience, I have an understanding of the regulations,” she said. “We are leaders in bringing in business in this state.”

Wasden wants to ensure the county’s growth doesn’t have negative impacts on residents, she said.

“We have a great master plan, and if we follow it, Douglas County will continue to flourish,” she said.

She said she would uphold District 3 Commissioner Jill Repella’s legacy by continuing to focus on economic growth and small businesses.

The rural heritage of the county is “near and dear” to Wasden, who sits on the Douglas County Fair Foundation board. She grew up in a small town and appreciates farm heritage.

Wasden has been a delegate for the Highlands Ranch Community Association for 16 years. She recently stepped down as chair of the Public Safety Advisory Committee for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

She considers herself lucky to live in a “great community.”

“Life is all about chances,” she said. “I see that my diverse background has led me here.”

Lora Thomas became a dispatcher for the Colorado State Patrol when she was 21 years old.

The county commissioner candidate had career aspirations at a young age.

“I was in second grade. I went home and told my mom and dad I wanted to be a police woman,” she said. “Anything you want to do, you can do.”

There were only eight women officers when Thomas became a state trooper in 1984.

She served on the state patrol for 26 years and achieved notable rankings, such as the first female captain and major in Colorado.

Thomas, 59, was born and raised in Denver. She lived in Durango for a short time and moved to Highlands Ranch, she said.

“I really came to value the lifestyle in Douglas County,” Thomas said.

The Republican has lived in Highlands Ranch for 17 years. She served as the Douglas County coroner from 2011-15. She said she reduced spending by scheduling staff more efficiently and reducing unnecessary budget expenses.

“I ran to bring accountability to that office,” said Thomas, who has a master’s degree in business administration. “I looked at every component and asked myself if it was needed.”

Thomas is fiscally conservative and calls herself the “champion of taxpayers of Douglas County.”

“The government needs to quit spending so much money,” she said.

She considers herself an inclusive leader who works with others to analyze issues, ask questions and develop a consensus or solution.

Thomas has one son who owns a

small business in Highlands Ranch called Colorado Soap. She supports local businesses because they are the “backbone of the community.”

If elected to replace Jill Repella in District 3, she plans to focus on four key issues: finances, the balance of growth and quality of life, preservation of natural resources, and protection from Thomas federal government encroachment.

Thomas is active in the community.

She’s served on several boards, including the Highlands Ranch Community Association Public Issues Committee, Men’s Crisis Connection in Castle Rock, Douglas-Arapahoe Suicide Prevention Alliance and 18th Judicial District Victim Compensation Board.

She runs a nonprofit organization called “A Night with the Coroner” and hosts seminars once a month to spread suicide awareness and educate the public on the coroner’s duties.

“I really care about our community and I want people to know what suicide is,” she said. “I use this as a way to talk about suicide and as a way to talk about what coroner’s do when death happens.”

Thomas has a young granddaughter who, in part, inspired her to run for county commissioner. She worries about what will be left for future generations if the “government keeps spending more and more.”

Thomas — who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 2014 — said she was called to serve the public and finds great satisfaction in bringing people together.

“I’m here on purpose and I have a purpose,” she said.

‘Life is all about chances. I see that my

Students took part in both individual and team competitions. In addition, each team decorated a team poster to represent their school spirit and love for math. The competition exams were graded by the Valor math department. “Our ultimate goal is to give students that have an aptitude for mathematics the opportunity to (come) together and have fun with some challenging math,” said Shandra Pankoski, head of the math department.

School board meeting lasts into wee hours Some call for move back to two sessions per month

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was well past 1:30 a.m. by the time Douglas County School Board President Meghann Silverthorn was finished with her duties at the Jan. 19 meeting.

“I don’t recall another meeting going later than that during my tenure on the board,” Silverthorn said.

The first school board meeting of the year was scheduled to end at 10 p.m. Start

Comment Continued from Page 1

time was 7 p.m.

“I understand that people don’t like having their questions limited, but we have to try and respect people’s time,” Silverthorn said. “So, we will try and strike a balance there and make sure that if it looks like that might happen, then we’ll put fewer items on the agenda.”

Meetings have routinely gone well past their scheduled times since the district moved from two meetings to one meeting per month in August 2014.

The board is scheduled to have two meetings in February to make up for one missed in December due to snow. Some members of the board and the commu-

nity say they would support a permanent move back to two meetings per month.

“Fortunately we do have two meetings planned for February to try and get caught up. (At the last meeting) we had to drop two presentations, including one on the teacher survey, because there just wasn’t enough time,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said. “I agree that following board policy of two meetings a month would be more productive and timely. There is a lot of work to be done in a district our size.”

Since 2014, public comment has been at the end school board meetings. At the Jan. 19 meeting, board members passed

a new policy to move comment to the beginning of meetings, starting Feb. 2.

Meg Masten, of the group Douglas County Parents, said the long meetings have an impact on the community’s ability to engage the board and be heard. She, too, said she would support a move to meeting twice a month again.

“I think with the new members we have on the board there is going to be a lot more discussion about things at the meetings and naturally they are going to go longer,” Masten said. “To ask people to sit through a five- or six-hour meeting is too much. It’s too much for the public and it’s too much for the board.”

towards since changes were made to the public comment policy early in my tenure on the board,” Reynolds said.

In March 2014, when the more restrictive public-comment policy was imposed, Reynolds expressed discomfort with the time limits, but ultimately voted with the board majority in favor of the more restrictive policy.

The new policy approved on Jan. 19 was well received and seems to be a first compromise on the board that had three new

members added to its ranks in November.

“A most improved public comment policy was indeed passed,” board member David Ray said. “I have to give credit to Director Reynolds, who initiated the need to change the former policy and her willingness to incorporate our recommendations.”

Board President Meghann Silverthorn said she hopes the public will see the new policy as a sign of the board’s willingness to work together.

“I hope so,” Silverthorn said. “I think there may be a perception that, for lack of a better word, the majority board are unwilling to compromise, and that isn’t true.”

Meg Masten, of the group Douglas County Parents, said the group was very excited to see an increase in the public’s opportunity to comment.

“It’s something that we have been asking the board of education for many years, so, it’s refreshing,” she said.

Freedom Service Dogs sniffs out new home Englewood nonprofit preps for move to larger Centennial facility

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Freedom Service Dogs organization plans to leave its facilities on West Union Avenue in Englewood and move into a new, larger building in Centennial near Arapahoe Road and Jordan Road. d The nonprofit organization rescues dogs from shelters and provides customized training so dogs can assist people with physical disabilities with tasks like kopening doors and turning on lights. Dogs fare also trained to become companions to -aid people with emotional conditions. ” The organization has been in Engleswood since 2008 and plans to move into ythe new facility in late spring or early summer.

“Freedom Service Dogs bought the 22,000-square-foot building that will about double the square footage we have now,” said Erin Conley, FSD public information officer. “There also is about an acre of land adjacent to the building that will give us a lot more outside space for the dogs. Englewood has been very good to us, but the move means we will have the space we need to eventually increase the number of dogs we can train and give to our clients.”

Conley said in 2010 plans were considered to expand the facility on West Union Avenue, but the proposal didn’t work out.

“It was about that time we started our capital campaign to raise money to buy a new building,” she said. “We raised $2.4 million, money that was used to buy the land and building at what will be our new location.”

Freedom Service Dogs launched a second effort late last year to raise funds needed to retrofit the building to meet the organization’s needs. The goal was to raise

$2.5 million. The effort got a boost from the Anschutz Foundation, which offered to match donations dollar for dollar up to $500,000. The match is good for all donations made before April 30. Conley said those who want to support the project can go to the website www.freedomservicedogs.org.

Brianne Corbett, director dog operations, said the move will meet a pressing need.

“We have limited space here to train and exercise the dogs,” she said. “The new facility will be large enough to provide more area to work with the dogs and with our clients.”

She said the location is accessible as there is an RTD bus stop right outside the front door.

“We will have more land for outside facilities for our dogs,” Corbett said. “Also, there are a lot of nearby stores and shops where we can take our dogs on training trips where there are a lot of people and a lot of activities.”

S1

About 25 to 35 dogs a year receive training in skills to meet the needs of specific clients. Once the dog and the client complete the training, the dog is given to the client free of charge.

All the dogs that go through training are rescued from shelters. Freedom Service Dogs gets calls from organizations like Safe Harbor Lab Rescue and the Humane Society of the South Platte when they rescue dogs that may be candidates for the FSD training program.

The dogs then undergo a series of tests, and animals that pass are moved to the training facility. Only about 50 percent of the candidates complete the training, which takes about eight months and costs about $25,000. However, FSD makes sure that those dogs that do not move forward in training find good homes.

FSD was founded in 1987 and has transformed from a small, two-person organization to one of the leading service dog training organizations in the country.

Leg veins are not just a cosmetic concern David M. Verebelyi, MD Medical Director Colorado Skin & Vein Over 50% of patients who have tiny visible leg veins actually have deeper vein problems that can lead to other medical issues.

Leg veins have internal valves that keep blood headed back to the heart against gravity. When these valves fail, one of the first signs can be growth of small, superficial vessels visible on the skin or larger varicose veins. Unfortunately, other more serious issues such as blood clots, leg pain, aching, swelling, night time leg cramping, Restless Leg Syndrome, skin color changes and even skin ulcers can develop due to these damaged vessels.

The good news is that a simple, painless ultrasound covered by your insurance can identify the root cause of the problem and determine the best course of action. The average provider on our vein team has over 12 years’ experience diagnosing and treating vein issues. With our experience and wide range of treatment options, you can be assured that you will receive the best care available. Call today to schedule an appointment for you or for someone you love.

Changing doesn’t require billions The recent Powerball drawing of $1.6 billion had a lot of people talking about what they would do with the money. I mean, reporters were visiting different cities and interviewing hopeful winners and asking the question, Michael Norton “How would you WINNING spend the money?”

Social media was WORDS buzzing with tweets and posts about how to spend the money or making sure their causes were represented in the event someone won and would be willing to share some of those winnings.

I happened to be traveling that week and spent time in airplanes, taxis, shuttle buses and airports. I overheard many of the same conversations taking place and some of the answers were self-serving, with some stating all of the luxury items that they would buy for themselves. Others talked about eliminating debt, helping friends and family, and supporting their favorite cause.

More than a few talked about giving at least half of the winnings away to their favorite charities or making a significant donation through their church our house of worship. We had many of those same questions at our own house and shared our own thoughts on how winning such a large sum of money could and would change our lives.

Now here is the real question, “How would it change who you are?” Many Norton continues on Page 11

For free speech…thank you for your service This morning, I sat down to write about the presidential campaign. The Iowa Caucus is just a few days away on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary is Feb. 9. The American electorate voting machine is firing up in earnest, with far-reaching and long-standing implications for our country.

However, as I settled into my spot at the breakfast cafe where I pen such thoughts, I asked my server — an extraordinarily pleasant and cheerful woman — about her tattoo, a series of small Chinese characters. “Strong woman,” she replied.

“I was in the military,” she explained, “and when we were discharged, we all went to get tattoos. The guys got ‘strong man’ and I got ‘strong woman.’” She had served in the Army in Bosnia, with a humanitarian aid unit. “We were the first in and the first out. It wasn’t pretty,” she said. She was the only woman in her family to enter the military, although generations of her family had served before her.

“Thank you for your service,” I said simply.

I meant it. Such service is one of the reasons why I can write week after week to

express my opinions about those who currently run our government, those who have run it, and those who want to run it next.

It’s never, ever lost on me that writers and journalists around the world practice their crafts in peril of perAndrea Doray secution, kidnapping, imprisonment and ALCHEMY murder in their own countries.

And, horrifically, the gruesome execution of journalist James Foley and the recent release from prison of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian are only two examples of American citizens who have also suffered for their work because of oppressive regimes or militant extremists.

Maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not, I really didn’t know the people personally so I couldn’t say if I believed they wouldn’t or couldn’t be changed by money.

are. And that they are grounded through a solid belief system and hold close to their values. And then there are others who really would like to make some change or improvement in their lives. So does it take winning the lottery to make those changes? I don’t believe so. True change happens or doesn’t happen when we are committed to our values and disciplined enough to set and pursue our goals.

Money, and I mean a lot of money, can do many things for people and certainly make a difference in how we live and how we secure our future. But if it changes who we are, we have never been comfortable and grounded in who we were in the first place.

Now I am not judging nor am I being a hypocrite. I invested more than a few

dollars in the recent Powerball drawing, as you have to be in it to win it, right?

But when I recognize a change I want to make, identify a new goal I want to pursue, or dream I wish to make a reality, I invest the time in myself to make those changes, not just in hoping that one day lightning will strike and I will win the lottery.

And it starts with where we see ourselves. Zig Ziglar used to say, “If you don’t like who you are, what you are, and where you are, you can change who you are, what you are, and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”

Filling our mind, our field of vision, our ears, and our surroundings with positive thoughts and attitude coupled with a strategic and tactical plan that will help

us become who we are will have a greater impact and more realistic impact on our lives than investing our time and money in hoping and waiting to win the lottery.

How about you? Would $1.6 billion change you as a person? Are there changes that you would like to make in your life, big or small, and just don’t know where to start? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can acknowledge where true and meaningful change comes from, we will achieve our goals and realize our dreams, making it a better than good week.

matter who is running the country.

Both of my parents served in World War II, my dad in Europe and North Africa, and my mother in the Philippines and New Guinea, for freedom and for safety in the U.S. and the world. Neither of them talked much about it and I wish now that I had taken down the oral history of their experiences. Perhaps sometime my sister and I can combine our recollections to develop a more comprehensive narrative.

Unlike my server, I did not follow my family’s example, although many of my friends and classmates did enter the military. And young people of all ethnicities and backgrounds continue to serve not only to help keep America safe, but also to render aid and to provide strength for those who are oppressed around the globe.

A simplistic view? Sure, I’m not naive.

America’s military action around the world deserves much more scrutiny than

it publicly receives. But for the strong women and the strong men who put on the uniform, in any capacity, so that I can sit here and write these words, I have only one thing to say … and I mean it: “Thank you for your service.”

Move over beer...

‘A good drink should reflect what your guest is craving.’

Libations are here Creative cocktails have many loyal fans

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With so much brew-haha going on, craft beer has definitely stolen the spotlight from other adult beverages of late.

But believe it or not, there are people in the universe who simply don’t like beer.

“I just really don’t like the taste of it,” Littleton resident Michelle Moriarty said. “I’ve tried a bunch of local craft beers, because a lot of my friends are really into them. But they just don’t do it for me. I end up feelHOW TO MAKE IT ing full, not relaxed.”

The Rock’s Scooby Snack So Moriarty has 1 ounce banana liqueur embarked on a per1 ounce melon liqueur sonal journey to seek ½ ounce coconut rum out the best, most ½ ounce half and half unique cocktails in town.

Shake with ice, strain “I like to get a into a highball glass. bunch of friends together and try new places,” she said. “We like to meet new people in different parts of town and sample some of the most interesting drinks that different places have.”

One of her favorites is the jalapeño margarita at Merle’s in downtown Littleton. It packs a tangy punch, and the spicy aroma carries across the table.

“I think our guests love the jalapeño margarita so much because we use great, high-quality Tanteo agave jalapeño-infused tequila,” bartender Susan Bencivenga said. “This tequila gives a fresh jalapeño flavor without too much heat. We also use fresh lime juice and agave nectar to finish this margarita to perfection.”

Another local favorite for cocktail hour is The Rock Wood Fired Kitchen, which has locations in Highlands Ranch, Parker and Lakewood. The stars of the show there are 32-ounce cocktails (limit two!)

Brief history of cocktails

Susan Bencivenga loves creating unique cocktails for her customers at Merle’s in Littleton. Courtesy photo

Cocktails first started showing up in history books in the 17th century.

When Prohibition arrived in 1919, they went underground but remained popular, although the quality of liquor declined greatly. Bootleggers switched from whiskey to gin, because it didn’t need to age. But it tasted pretty bad as a result, so fruit juice was added to mask the taste. An added bonus was that sweet cocktails are easier to drink quickly, an important consideration when your speakeasy could be raided at any moment.

The popularity of cocktails declined in 1960s and through the 1970s — young people seemed to prefer wine and marijuana — with the notable exception of the tacky tiki era.

Traditional cocktails began to make a comeback in the 2000s, and today cocktail drinkers are enjoying a full-on renaissance. Bartenders are now known as “mixologists” and use a wide variety of interesting ingredients and complex flavors.

FIVE EASY STEPS TO BETTER COCKTAILS 1. Upgrade your liquor cabinet with higherquality beverages.

2. Use fresh ingredients, especially for fruit garnishes.

3. Match the drink and glass temperature.

4. Use garnishes when appropriate.

5. Measure everything.

Source: www.about.com/food With so many creative cocktails out there these days, how does one decide?

“A good drink should reflect what your guest is craving,” Bencivenga said. “Some like it on the sweet side or a little smoky deep flavor. When someone is lost on what they’d like, I ask what they usually order and try to find something new and different for them to experience. It may even just be a different brand of liquor or flavor profile.”

Bencivenga enjoys coming up with unique recipes on her own, and seeing her customers’ reaction to them. Her current favorite is the Blackberry Bourbon Fizz.

“I came up with this fun drink to help people who don’t normally drink bourbon to fall in love with it,” she said.

‘You get to meet new people every day, and make new friends every day. It’s a chance to make people happy.’

“Love, love, love this drink!” she said.

Over at The Rock, bartender Lars Wray says his favorite libation is the Scooby Snack. It’s served in a highball glass and tastes like a melon-y pina colada.

“It tastes like goodness,” he said.

Whatever your poison, Moriarty notes that exploring and sharing cocktails (re-

sponsibly, of course) is a great way to see new horizons, try food at new venues and simply spend time with people you enjoy.

“I’m a single mom, but I’m lucky to be surrounded by tons of really great friends,” she said. “I love getting out of the house with them to talk about our days, our families, our lives.”

And serving people like Moriarty and her friends is why so many bartenders love their jobs.

“You get to meet new people every day, and make new friends every day,” said Wray. “It’s a chance to make people happy.”

Clarinetist to play Mozart masterpiece

Musician will perform Feb. 12 with Littleton Symphony

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jason Shafer joined the Colorado Symphony as principal clarinet in the 2013-2014 season, following four years with the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida. He will perform as soloist with the Littleton Symphony on Feb. 12, playing Mozart’s “Clarinet

home the point. It’s followed by a panel discussion with bullying experts from local agencies, including the Douglas County School District. “Out of Bounds” is intended to equip teens and their parents with the tools necessary to combat a problem that few know how to handle.

Sean Lewis, co-founder and artistic director of the Working Group Theatre Company, which created “Out of Bounds,” said the key is to immediately draw in the audience with humor and entertainment.

The message is contained within the narrative acted out on stage.

Lewis was originally working on a production that dealt with sports and masculinity when his direction changed completely. It happened when he and a colleague interviewed a teen girl who was being bullied.

“There was a point at the end of the interview where I asked what she was doing for the summer,” Lewis said. “She just said, ‘I’m not going to do anything.

None of my friends will talk to me.’”

That was the moment Lewis knew that he had to give a voice to the voiceless.

Using gripping, real-life stories would be the linchpin. Conflicts often escalate

Concerto.”

Shafer has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, where he has been a regular member since 2012. A member of the faculty at Metropolitan State University of Denver since 2015, he looks for travel opportunities and has also performed in Europe The featured piece was written in 1791 for Mozart’s friend and fellow Mason, Anton Stadler, who first performed it in Prague on Oct. 16, 1791. It is one of the composer’s last works before he died — and a well-known work, featuring interplay between the soloist

and the orchestra.

Stadler played a basset clarinet, with greater range than the contemporary instrument, but it has been reworked for today’s clarinet.

LSO publicist Karen Smith writes: “Brace yourself for a series of musical storms, ending with a gentle breeze by Linke” in addition to the Mozart concerto. The storms she refers to are the storm scene from Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony; The Royal Hunt and Storm from Berlioz’s “The Trojans;” Johann Strauss’ “Thunder and Lightning Polka;” John Philip Sousa’s “The Thunderer;” and then “Berliner Luft Polka” by Paul Linke.

Several years ago, budget cuts spelled the end of elementary school band and orchestra instruction as part of the school day. It became an extracurricular, afterschool experience, priced at $41 a month plus instrument rental. For some families, even in relatively well-off Douglas County, music classes were out of reach. But a solution was discovered through a local

The Castle Pines Arts and Cultural Foundation partnered with the Colorado Chamber Orchestra in CCOEIM (Colorado Chamber Orchestra Early Instrumental Music). It has grown to provide elementary band classes before or after school from 200 children in one (high school) feeder area to 1,432 children in six Douglas County feeder areas.

About 10 percent of district students qualify for free lunch and need financial assistance to learn to play an instrument.

Educators say that musical training “helps increase many educational disciplines, including math and reading, as well as instill a tremendous sense of self-worth and accomplishment,” according to Debbie Davidson-Stanfill, who directs

the Colorado Chamber Orchestra’s Outreach program. She provides matching scholarships.

Proceeds from these concerts will go toward scholarships. “Last year, we raised $5,000,” said Cheryl McGovern of the foundation.

The second concert, “Save the Music!

An evening of Jazz, Wine and Eats,” at 7 p.m. on Feb. 26, will be at the Daniels Gate Club House.

The first 15 minutes will present a short performance by young musicians, who will be followed by the well-known Hank Troy Trio. (No drinks will be served until the kids have performed and departed.)

‘Violet’ sparks thought with story about 1960s “On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and outlawed segregation in public places. This was deeply unpopular in the South, where Violet was traveling, and its enforcement was challenged and racism remained … It’s not about the destination, but the journey that transforms us.”

The set is a bus terminal, designed by Tina Anderson to serve as several places on Violet’s travels, with assorted chairs to the front suggesting a cross-country bus. She makes new friends and learns about what it means to be an outsider.

“Violet” was written by Jeanine Tesori (music and lyrics) and Brian Crawley (book), based on a story, “The Ugliest Pilgrim,” by Doris Betts. It’s a smaller-scale musical with a message, filled with upbeat country, gospel and honky-tonk tunes and

a compelling story.

Among those Violet meets on the bus are a couple of young soldiers en route to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Monty (Chas Lederer) and the more reserved Flick (Randy Chalmers), who is black, take her out for boozy evening in Memphis en route, after she beats them at poker.

A charming scene has young Violet (Rebecca Hyde) learning to play poker from her dad (Scott McLean) on one side of the stage, while adult Violet is quietly beating the puzzled soldiers on the other side. Dad and young Vi appear in a number of flashbacks that effectively add another layer to the story.

Throughout, a country band, led by Donna Debreceni, plays the lively, pleasing score, set to the side of the stage. It is a really nice addition to this production.

Voices are strong and the melodies are fun to hear.

Journey through South occurs as historic changes loom

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In image-conscious September 1964, a young woman named Violet Karl (Ellen Kaye) leaves her home in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, on a bus headed for Tulsa, Oklahoma, where there is an evangelist/ healer she believes will heal the scar on her face, disfigured in an accident.

“Her journey takes her across the American South during the cultural revolution of the 1960s. This is before civil rights, Vietnam, women’s liberation and the British Invasion reshaped our society,” wrote director Nick Sugar in his notes for “Violet” at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

New football leagues take it too far

Highlands Ranch quiets Grizzlies Falcons rally to win game between state’s top two teams

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge’s student section chanted “Overrated” during the first half of the Jan. 22 Continental League girls basketball showdown with Highlands Ranch, which was played in front of a vociferous, capacity crowd in the Grizzly Den. However, the game took a colossal turn in the second half as Highlands Ranch, topranked in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll,

overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to rally for a 46-37 win over ThunderRidge, the team ranked second in the poll.

Toward the end of the game it was the Highlands Ranch students who were chanting and rushed onto the court to celebrate when the final buzzer sounded.

“We weren’t running our offense, and we’re not that good to not run our offense,” Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki said she told her team during the halftime intermission. “We needed to reverse the ball and get them out of position. We were never in position to rebound either. The three-pointers in the third quarter were momentum shifters, and we played better defense. The

second half was good.”

Highlands Ranch is now 15-1 overall and 3-0 in the Continental League while ThunderRidge slipped to 13-2 and 2-1.

Key moments Highlands Ranch opened the third period with a 14-2 run to gain momentum, and with 5:25 remaining in the game the Falcons took a lead they would never relinquish. Early in the Falcons’ second-half flurry, they hit four three-point baskets with senior Brianne Stiers making three of them.

“I came back out after halftime with a different mindset to help the team,” said Basketball continues on Page 20

Pugh scores in debut game for national team Mountain Vista senior continues to add to her soccer resume

By Katie Pickrell Special to Colorado Community Media In the 83rd minute of the game against Ireland, Mallory Pugh made history — again — when she headed in a goal during her debut on the U.S. women’s national soccer team: She became the sixth-youngest player in history to score a goal for the USA, the youngest to do so over the past 16 years and only the 19th of any age to score in a debut game.

“It was amazing,” said Pugh, 17, a senior at Mountain Vista High School. “When I first went in the game, I was super nervous — and most people can relate to that. But if you just go in and start playing, everything goes away. That’s kind of what happened to me.”

The Jan. 23 game played in San Diego ended with a 5-0 win for the U.S. The top recruit in the nation for her class, Pugh — a forward for Vista and Real Colorado — was named to the U.S. Women’s National Team in December.

But this is only the latest in her string of accomplishments: Pugh finished her U-17 career with 15 international goals in 12 appearances, including the game-winner against Japan in her final U-17 match-up in February 2014. She was then called up to the U-20 team, making her the youngest on the roster. In her first camp with the U-20s, she scored two goals and added an assist in two games against China.

She captained the team to the CONCACAF championship victory, clinching a 2016 U-20 Women’s World Cup berth. During the tournament, Pugh won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals.

Bleacher Report, which follows international sports and teams,

The conference names are majestic, but the new league alignment that will apparently be approved for Class 5A football teams has left many observers with altitude sickness.

For the 2016-17 cycle, the Colorado High School Activities Association football committee has proposed reducing the 5A football playoffs from 32 to 16 teams, which is a good idea.

However, using teams’ Ratings Percentage Index, a computer ranking, over the past two years to realign leagues has drawn a puzzled response from many coaches and athletic directors.

The “waterfall” Jim Benton alignments are inOVERTIME tended to balance out leagues based on the strength of teams. But they also separate some natural geographic rivals and bring about more travel for teams.

For example, Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge — neighborhood rivals in Highlands Ranch — would no longer be in the same league. One of ThunderRidge’s new conference foes would be Northglenn, some 30 miles away.

Conferences in the 5A proposal are named after Colorado’s 14ers, like Mount Elbert and Mount Evans. They are great monikers, but I still liked the way teams were aligned in the former Centennial, Continental and 5A Jefferson County leagues.

The CHSAA Legislative Council is expected to approve the new conference alignments on Jan. 28.

The council determines rules, and its 75 members represent all athletic conferences along with delegates from the Colorado Association of School Boards, Colorado Athletic Directors Association and Colorado Association of Secondary School Administrators. The football committee proposal is one of 10 reports that will likely be approved.

The claim of the football committee with its Class 5A waterfall conference proposal is that travel will be along the I-25 corridor and be no longer than two hours since there are no Grand Junction schools. The proposed Class 4A waterfall league lineup is based on geography.

Sounds good, but it seems like interest and gate receipts could be affected when Cherry Creek plays teams like Prairie View in Henderson or Grandview travels to Doherty and Pomona faces Aurora Hinkley. Even in Class 4A, when Littleton has a game in Montrose.

Sure rivalry games can be scheduled as nonleague affairs, but seeing Creek vs. Valor or Douglas County vs. Castle View in league contests that add more importance than just bragging right will be lost in the new conference alignments.

She can’t stay out of the gym Pomona basketball player Ashley Van Sickle logs long hours in the gym.

“She’s a great kid and is a very good student,” coach Jeff Gomer said. “She is well respected by both staff and students at the school. She is one of the best junior guards in the state and she has a really well-rounded game.

“She can pass, score and defend. The best thing about her is she is a gym rat.

I have to kick her out of the gym so I can go home.”

Van Sickle is at or near the top of Jefferson County 5A statistics. She is Benton continues on Page 20

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JAN. 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Single Lambs looking for romance could find Cupid especially accommodating this week. Paired partners also find their relationships benefiting from the chubby cherub’s attention.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep your keen Bull’s eye focused on your target, and shake off any attempt to turn your attention elsewhere.

You should get some news later in the week that might answer some questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your early enthusiasm for a project might have been somewhat premature. Although you feel positive about it, you might need more information in order to make an informed decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on a new responsibility might seem like the politically correct thing to do. But even with the promise of support, was it the wisest? Consider reassessing your upcoming decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Apply yourself to completing your task despite all the distractions that might be interfering with your work.

Then reward yourself with a weekend of fun shared with people who are close to you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A business agreement from the past might need to be looked at again. Use this unexpected development to check out other matters related to it. A weekend venture proves to be rewarding.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Don’t ignore that uneasy feeling about making a commitment. It could be a case of understandably cold feet, or a warning that something isn’t as right as it should be.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A colleague could be more supporting of one of your efforts. But it’s up to you to make the case for it, and that could mean opening up a secret or two, which might be a problem for you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect some good news about a relative you’ve been worried about. But don’t expect the full story to be told -- at least not yet. A workplace matter might face shifting priorities.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Despite some anxious moments, you could have good reason to be pleased with how things are turning out. An end-of-the-week call might hold some interesting information.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A long-overdue expression of appreciation could be offered soon. But admit it: You never really expected it would happen, right? Meanwhile, keep your weekend options open.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to dive right into a new challenge, whether it’s learning a computer app, or how to drive a stick shift, or making a new friend. Whatever it is, good luck.

BORN THIS WEEK: You see the wisdom in honesty, and you help others appreciate your vision. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

They said it Vigil, the Falcons’ leading scorer this season, said the Falcons came together to mount the second-half rally.

“It was a tough game in the first half, and it was kind of hard with all the noise to focus in,” she said. “But coach J told us at halftime this is what we want, and if this is what we want we can’t be doing what we did in the first half. We came together as a team, and that’s how we got the win. It was a real important game to show people we are serious and we want to take the state title.”

Snipes said she believes ThunderRidge can rebound from its first loss of the season.

“We definitely lost the team that we were in the first half,” said Snipes. “The little mistakes were getting to us. You can’t win them all. They (the Falcons) are a good team. I’d rather lose now. There’s no doubt that our team is capable of making state. I feel like we’ll see them again, so I’d rather lose now and get better every day.”

Highlands Ranch was outplayed in the first half, but Stiers was never skeptical about the final outcome.

“I know how good my team is, and I know the kind of heart we play with,” she explained. “There was no doubt in my mind we were going to win the game. Definitely our ultimate goal is to take the state championship and that’s a reminder every time we step on the court.”

ThunderRidge coach Matt Asik said he felt the Falcons’ defense was the big difference in the second half.

“You have to credit their defense,” claimed Asik. “They played great defense in the second half. They got that momentum swing and hit some threes, got back in it and turned it into a ball game. We stopped attacking. It wasn’t on purpose.”

second in scoring at 17.6 points per game, first in assists with 6.5 per game and first in steals with 5.2 a game.

The 5-foot-7 Van Sickle leads the state’s Class 5A players in steals and is tied for first in average assists. She is fifth in free throw shooting (79 percent) and sixth in 3-point shooting (42 percent).

Preseason player of the year Colorado School of Mines senior Nate Olinger, a Pomona graduate, was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason Player of the Year.

Olinger, a senior outfielder and pitcher, hit .387 last season with 19 doubles, five home runs and 36 runs batted in.

He compiled a 3.71 earned-run average.

Colorado Mesa University sophomore third baseman Trent Maloney also was named to the RMAC preseason allleague team. Maloney, a Douglas County High School grad, hit .323 with 25 RBIs last spring.

a full-ride scholarship to play at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“Looking forward, hopefully, I’ll keep playing on the national team and play for UCLA,” Pugh said, adding that the school aspect of playing in college and the atmosphere of UCLA influenced her decision.

“I know the support system around me is really good so I always lean on them if I need help,” Pugh said. “I just try to not think about the pressure.”

Key players/statistics Leilah Vigil, a 5-foot-9 Highlands Ranch sophomore, was tough to guard inside and finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Stiers had nine points, and Blair Braxton contributed seven points, including the basket that put the Falcons ahead to stay.

Taylor Rusk paced the Grizzlies with 12 points while Jaz’Myne Snipes added 10.

Shooting statistics in the two halves were different. Highlands Ranch made only three of 20 shots in the first two quarters and was 4-for-13 at the free-throw line in the second quarter. Highlands Ranch finished the game shooting 15-of38 from the field (39.4 percent) and 11-for-27 at the foul line (40.7).

ThunderRidge scored just 12 points in the second half, the same as Ranch scored in the first half, and the Grizzlies were 5-for-17 shooting from the field with eight turnovers in the last two quarters.

Stiers, “but without the team I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to shoot it like that.”
