Guilty plea brings an end to 40-year-old murder case James Clanton will get life in prison with a chance of parole after 20 years

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 40 years after 21-yearold Helene Pruszynski was brutally killed and left for dead in an area that is now Highlands Ranch, a man pleaded guilty to the crime.

James Clanton, 62, was slated to have a preliminary hearing but instead chose to waive his rights and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a Douglas County courtroom on Feb. 21.

Because of Clanton’s plea, District Attorney George Brauchler announced the state would not seek the death penalty in the case. Instead, Clanton will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the chance of parole after 20 years, Brauchler said. He will be formally sentenced April 10.

“At his age, if you asked me to guess, I’d say I don’t expect him to make parole,” Brauchler said after the hearing.

Pruszynski’s only living relative, her sister Janet Johnson, will make a statement at Clanton’s sentencing hearing, Brauchler said, adding how emotional she was when she found out he would be pleading guilty.

“You can’t imagine the kind of relief that would bring to a victim,”

he said, “who I think had thought she would go to her grave not knowing who killed her sweet sister.”

Clanton’s four other charges for the Jan. 16, 1980 crime, including sexual assault and kidnapping, were dropped as part of the plea agreement.

Pruszynski had recently moved to Colorado from Massachusetts for an internship with KHOW radio station when she was kidnapped near an Englewood bus stop while on her way home.

The next day, her body was found in a field near Daniels Park Road.

She was naked from the waist down, with her hands bound. She had been stabbed multiple times.

Local chef wants to set the bar for Indian cuisine Urban Village, a new upscale Indian restaurant, strays from traditional curry, tandoori chicken

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Charlie Mani insists what he cooks is not Indian food—at least not anything like what Americans expect of Indian food. The kitchen he runs at Urban Village, serves, for lack of a better term, Indian dishes. Mani’s description of his own cuisine differs from the genre of food they serve.

Mani, who went to culinary school in his home city of Chennai in South India, and worked at some of the top Indian restaurants in New York City until recently, said the way he does cooking is unlike anybody else.

“My way of cooking is always a surprise,” Mani said. “I want to do something not usual.”

Mani, of Lone Tree, strives to break out of the box Americans typically know as Indian food—tandoori chicken, curry, naan bread. His dishes start with Indian specialties he and adds his own flair to it. Some of the staples are still there. The short menu

has things like naan, tandoori chicken and coconut curry, but Mani’s take on dishes like a kale moong dal chaat, breaded cauliflower or golgappa is where his creative influence can be tasted.

Mani, a personable yet stubborn creator, does not concede the costumer is always right. Mani relies on his education and his inner artistic voice to continually raise his own bar. He describes his affection for cooking in multiple forms — to him cooking is his wife, the restaurant is his home and the customers are his friends, family and guests. Mani personally attends to each table. He believes giving the back of the house a face is something the industry is missing.

“When it comes to cooking, I don’t listen to anyone,” Mani said. “Everybody screwed up enough of my industry. There’s enough screwing up.

As a result, the restaurant already has a reliable base of regulars who make complicated orders without looking at a menu.

Though his influences come from his home palate, Mani says he doesn’t want to be identified as an Indian chef.

It can pigeonhole him as a creator and create certain expectations of himself.

“I never prepared ‘Indian’ food in my life before coming to America,” Mani said. “I grew up cooking everything totally different. When I moved

here, my name is Charles so on my resume they assume I’m a white boy, but when I go there they say, ‘Sorry, we don’t serve Indian food.’ If I wanted to cook Indian food, I might have stayed in India.”

Urban Village has been open since October in Lone Tree’s entertainment district. The restaurant has received acclaim from local food critics for its unique take on Indian food.

The restaurant started out as a dream. Ramesh Madakasira wanted to bring a high-end Indian restaurant to the Denver area. Madakasira and his partner Gopinath Desam, both from Lone Tree, are both software engineers by trade. Mani moved to Lone Tree last year. Urban Village is their first restaurant venture.

“I take it as a challenge,” Madakasira said. “If there’s a challenge, there’s an opportunity with it as well.”

Madakasira said they hope to bring Urban Village to downtown Denver and throughout the metro region.

Lone Tree was a good place to start, he said.

“For me, it doesn’t give me stress ever because I like it,” Madakasira said.

To Mani, he’s the opposite.

“The stress is what keeps me coming back,” he said.

Mani said he can’t get enough of cooking.

“For me, that stress is the one thing that makes me wake up and come again and again and do what I do.”

Douglas County School District CFO leaves for Cherry Creek

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District’s chief financial officer left the school district this month for a job with the Cherry Creek School District.

Scott Smith’s last day with DCSD was Feb. 21. He was scheduled to begin as the chief financial officer and chief

operating officer for CCSD on Feb. 24.

“We sincerely thank Mr. Smith for his service and dedication to DCSD over the past six years and wish him the best in his new endeavor,” said Superintendent Thomas Tucker in an email sent to parents on Jan. 22.

Smith was earning $155,250 with DCSD. He began in June 2013 as the budget director, earning $135,355,

and was promoted to chief financial officer in July 2018. Smith was not available for comment.

Smith informed Tucker and the school board of his resignation in a Jan. 21 letter, telling the board he had “not arrived at this decision lightly,” calling the position with CCSD “an opportunity that I cannot pass up.”

He said the leadership team in the

district’s business services department was “incredibly strong” and able to support the district in his absence.

“Our proudest achievements as a team have been restoring public faith and confidence in the financials of DCSD and turning around the culture and climate of the business services department,” Smith wrote.

The C-470 Express Lanes project is slated to be completed this summer -- a year behind schedule.

C-470 project moving toward completion, CDOT says Toll lanes expected to open in spring, project to be finished by summer

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Construction on C-470 is nearly finished.

The years-long C-470 Express Lanes Project, which will add tolled lanes along the busy highway, is scheduled to be completed this summer, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, or CDOT. That’s about a year after the original expected completion date, and four years after the project began in 2016.

CDOT placed the project’s contractor, a joint venture of Flatiron Construction and AECOM, in default last summer after repeated delays and what CDOT called misleading updates.

“CDOT’s priority is getting this completed as quickly and safely as possible so we can bring it to the traveling public,” said Tamara Rollison, a spokeswoman for CDOT. “You’ve probably noticed whenever you’re out there, there’s work taking place, including weekend and night closures.”

Once completed, the project will add at least one, and in some places two toll lanes to each direction of the heavily congested corridor between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard. Motorists could save up to 18 minutes if traveling the full 12-mile length of the lanes, according to CDOT estimates.

Tolls could range as high as $6.60 for a full-length westbound trip during afternoon rush hour, according to CDOT documents. The high end for eastbound travel could be $4.85 during morning rush hour. Tolls will be lower in off-peak times and for motorists only traveling partway. The goal is to keep traffic moving at least 45 mph at all times.

The toll lanes are expected to be complete sometime in the spring, Rol-

lison said, and motorists will be able to use them for free for a few months while crews finalize installation and testing of tolling equipment.

Tolls will be assessed much like they are on E-470 east of I-25, Rollison said, utilizing license plate readers that will send a bill to the driver’s home. Drivers can also buy electronic passes that are good on all the state’s toll roads.

The remaining work is primarily paving, lane striping and signage installation, Rollison said.

In the meantime, CDOT is levying fines of $51,000 a day against Flatiron and AECOM for the behind-schedule work, Rollison said.

“We like these projects finished within a certain time frame,” Rollison said. “We’ve been exercising our recourse as laid out in our contract with them.”

The project’s total cost is still in the neighborhood of $276 million, Rollison said. About $10 million of that is from Douglas County, and an additional $110 million came from state and federal funding.

Flatiron and AECOM are “working to safely expeditiously complete the project,” said Michael Swenson, a spokesman for Flatiron.

“We’ve been working with CDOT on this all the way through,” Swenson said. “We’ve focused significant resources on the project.”

Swenson declined to answer if the contractors have worked to change or improve their methods since being placed in default.

The project’s completion will bring welcome additional capacity to the local transportation grid, said Keith Reester, Littleton’s director of public works.

Still, Reester said, “you can’t build your way out of congestion.”

“You can, however, add capacity while you look at longer-term solutions: mode changes, shorter trips, working to help people live closer to their jobs and things like that,” Reester said. “You’re not going to get thousands of people to decide to stop driving tomorrow.”

Douglas County teachers urge better pay District still at work on compensation overhaul

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Several educators made impassioned pleas asking school board directors to improve teacher pay in the Douglas County School District two weeks after the board held a lengthy discussion about overhauling compensation for licensed staff.

The board at its Feb. 18 meeting also discussed a resolution that would have provided staff with additional guidelines as they research transitioning to a new compensation system for all employees.

The board voted the resolution down in a 3-3 decision. Directors Kevin Leung, Anthony Graziano and Christina Ciancio-Schor voted against the resolution. Director Susan Meek was absent from the vote.

Motions must be passed by a majority of directors present.

The resolution stated the board “directs the superintendent to consider the following when developing the district’s future compensation system” for the upcoming school year: • Assure the employees who remain in their full-time position won’t see a cut in base pay

• Conduct a cost analysis for offering cost-of-living increases to any employee whose salary is not increased by the compensation system • Evaluate whether current district assets could be converted to compensation revenue • Explore cost-saving measures the district could use in its budget to increase revenue for compensation Leung feared the resolution was premature in the review of DCSD’s compensation structure and that it promised specific action. Graziano said it could box the district in as it explores ways to fund a more competitive compensation package.

Ciancio-Schor was uncomfortable passing the resolution before the district ramps up its budget talks and has more data available, she said.

Board President David Ray was a passionate advocate for the resolution. He disagreed with Leung, arguing it did not make specific commitments and merely directed staff to explore numerous ways to improve compensation.

Public comment from teachers at the beginning of the meeting, in which some stated they might leave the district if compensation isn’t improved soon, shows compensation is an urgent matter, Ray said.

“We have to give our staff some kind of hope that shows that this board does act, this board does com-

municate values,” Ray said. “We’re at the end of February, and March is the pinnacle of hiring season for all our districts. And if we don’t send a message to our employees right away that says we’re going to do everything possible to make this work, I think we will lose employees again like we saw back in 2008.”

Director Krista Holtzmann said the resolution only asked staff to seek more information on cost of living increases, more revenue sources and decreasing expenses in the district, and made no promises.

Although, she noted roughly 85% of the budget goes toward staffing needs.

“I’m not sure we’re going to find a whole lot of expenses to cut,” she said, “but it’s still worth asking if they could take a second look.”

The district has poured $60 million into compensation since 2016 and successfully passed a mill levy override in 2018 that garnered $14 million for salaries. Still, board members and many teachers say DCSD’s compensation isn’t competitive enough in the market to recruit and retain top teachers.

On Feb. 4, staff presented a sample salary schedule for the board to analyze as it considers moving to a traditional step-and-lane structure.

Step-and-lane structures generally allow teachers to progress in a pay schedule for attaining more

education and for their years with a district, although additional factors beyond years of experience would determine in they move steps in Douglas County.

The draft schedule would take $6.8 million to fully implement in year one but the district has only $2.1 million in revenue for compensation, at the most, Chief Financial Officer Scott Smith said Feb. 4.

Multiple directors asked staff if the district could be operated more efficiently or if cuts could be made anywhere in the budget to find more money for compensation.

Teachers that spoke out about compensation on Feb. 18, many of which are members of the local union, Douglas County Federation, had a clear message for the board: Budget what you value.

Clear Sky Elementary teacher and DCF member Shannon Yoshioka grew emotional telling the board how her salary was frozen in her third year with the district for the next four years.

She couldn’t afford bills or furthering her education, she said. It took her 17 out of her 19 years in teaching to reach a $60,000 salary. A schedule like the sample discussed Feb. 4 would not retain teachers, she said, and would not give her a raise in the remainder of her teaching career.

Schools keep fall break schedule despite test dates Week off school overlaps with two of three PSAT days

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School board has decided it will not change the district’s fall break for the 2020-21 school year after staff recommended the school board reschedule it to one week later.

The suggestion came after 3,500 juniors last year missed out on their chance to take the PSAT, part of the SAT test suite usually administered to high school juniors and a requirement to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program.

The district’s 2019-20 fall break overlapped with the first two of three dates available to take the PSAT. That left the district with only the alternate test date on Oct. 30, 2019 for students to take the test.

When a snow event that same day forced DCSD to cancel the PSAT, juniors lost their chance to take it. The

PSAT generates about $2 million in scholarships for district students.

Superintendent Thomas Tucker said the college board allowed students who missed the PSAT to take the SAT and then calibrate those scores, but not all scholarships organizations will accept the SAT. The same or a similar scenario could play out in 2020, when fall break runs from Oct. 12-16. The district’s fall break again overlaps with two of the three dates available to take the PSAT. If any event forces DCSD to cancel, students will miss out on the PSAT once more.

A survey sent to 77,000 people on the issue garnered 21,000 responses, about 16,000 of which were parents.

Chief Assessment and Data Officer Matt Reynolds said 75% of participants supported moving fall break.

The decision to keep fall break as scheduled was not cut and dry, board President David Ray said. He voted in favor of changing the schedule, despite leaning against that option, so the 4-2 vote would better reflect how torn the board felt, he said. Director SEE TEST DATES, P7

Youth commission tackles tobacco enforcement

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree teens are working to combat nicotine addiction among their peers through policy complying with the new federally established age restriction and keeping retailers from targeting first-time purchasers.

The Lone Tree Youth Commission presented a recommendation during a Feb. 18 city council study session outlining enforcement and implementation procedures of new tobacco regulation within the city. Part of the commission’s recommendation had to do with keeping the city’s tobacco policy in line with the newly passed federal regulation, which raised the age restriction to purchase tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes and vaporizers, from 18 to 21.

Anna Smith, chair of the Lone Tree Youth Commission and junior at Highlands Ranch High School, said

From the board’s first discussion on the issue, at its Feb. 4 meeting, Graziano said he preferred to prioritize students’ need to take the PSAT.

t

the commission set out to prevent their peers — as young as elementary-aged students, in some cases — from getting hooked on e-cigarettes and vapes in the first place.

“When I was a freshman, I remember walking into bathrooms and I’d see people use e-cigarettes. Even today, I see people using it in class,” Smith said. “I see people saying they’re not addicted and they don’t think it’s a problem, but it’s shifting to where people are becoming addicted and they don’t know how to stop.”

The commission worked closely with the city and the Tri-County Health Department to recommend the best course of action for Lone Tree.

“Since e-cigarettes are a youth-targeted issue, as the youth commission that’s our job to focus on what targets and what are the big problems of the youth in the community,” said Julia Reigrut, vice chair of the commis-

sion. “We have day-to-day interactions with e-cigarettes that people on city council probably don’t have.”

Lone Tree City Council will consider the recommendation as the members draft a city ordinance to comply with federal law. The commission also recommended establishing policy that would prevent couponing, a promotional tool for retailers who offer discounts on first-time kits for ecigarettes or vaping devices to attract new customers.

Each year, the Lone Tree Youth Commission chooses an issue to tackle that has affected their peers and forms a project around it. The commission hosted a seminar and panel event last year toward the goal of normalizing discussion about mental health.

Austin Good, assistant to the city manager, and Leanna Jasek-Rysdahl, teen court and youth services coordinator, are co-liaisons for the commit-

tee to help run the organization.

“The city council really looks to tap into that youth voice, get that youth perspective and help city council with policy surrounding youth issues,” Good said. “They’re fulfilling that vision and that desire for council to do that ... We’re really proud to have such amazing, high-caliber, influential youth in our city.”

The commission’s presentation touched on health effects, potential cost impacts and parameters to consider when city staff eventually drafts an ordinance, like the possibility of adding distance regulations for selling tobacco products and keying on products that target youths.

“I think they’re optimistic, but not naïve how they think about issues,” Jasek-Rysdahl said. “They’re also very conscious of the youth voice.

They’re not trying to take on something they’re not supposed to. They know they’re experts in the youth.”

“A good case has been made to adjust this so we can avoid any potential issues like this in the future,” he said.

Director Christina Ciancio-Schor said “there’s no win in this particular situation.”

Multiple directors said they heard from parents and staff who had already booked trips for the 2020 fall break and feared moving it would disrupt classrooms. Teachers and

students would likely continue with their plans and miss school, some directors said.

Director Kevin Leung felt it was unlikely the issue would unfold again — 2019 was the first year district officials could recall a snow event canceling the test. Director Elizabeth Hanson believed it was too late in the school year to reschedule fall break.

Director Krista Holtzmann said

she was hopeful the mishap won’t happen this fall. She noted the survey found 37% of high school staff did not favor moving fall break.

“I think you have very clearly shown that there needs to be a change to accommodate the PSAT in the future. That isn’t even a question for me. I think that needs to happen, but the question for me is whether it needs to happen in 20-21 or if we can put it off a year,” she said.

Low Interest Rates Means More Money for Retirement by Kathy Muni

W

hen the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, it provides an exciting opportunity for those looking to buy real estate. But what about seniors who are happy in their homes, can lower rates help them?

Refinancing or getting a home loan as a senior can be difficult, especially if you’re on a fixed income. The good news is that seniors can take advantage of lower rates right now, with the new Senior Home Equity Line of Credit (SHELOC) from Silver Leaf Mortgage.

As a homeowner age 62 and older, a SHELOC may be the perfect solution to address unexpected or increased expenses. With historically high home values in Colorado and near record lows in interest rates, now is the time to consider the benefits of a SHELOC. You will likely be able to access even more equity in your home than was previously available, and if you already have a reverse mortgage now is the time to consider refinancing to a lower rate and increased equity access.

With a SHELOC, you own and keep your home, get the tax-free cash you need, eliminate your mortgage payment*, and enjoy your retirement to the fullest!

Rates change frequently so call today to lock in your low rate and see if a SHELOC is the right solution for you and your family.

Esports space gives gamers community Lone Tree Hub facility will open doors March 3

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Becoming highly skilled at a video game often means spending hours in isolation: a dark room with few distractions and caffeine at the ready to deter anything that could disrupt hours-long bouts of gaming. Gamers who profess devotion to “the grind” can spend thousands of hours a year in isolation.

Chris Curtis and the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District want to change that.

Curtis is SSPRD’s first esports program coordinator. He is in charge of setting up the first esports-dedicated space in the district at the Lone Tree Hub, 8827 Lone Tree Parkway. He wants to create a place where developing gaming skills doesn’t have to be antisocial.

“It’s really important to get kids out of the house into a social space playing games rather than by themselves, because there’s a lot more to be learned from video games in a social setting versus playing at home by yourself,” Curtis said. “That’s a big focus of mine.”

South Suburban will unveil its first esports gaming room at the Lone Tree Hub March 3. The room will be

The esports gaming room will be completed in early March with state-of-the-art gaming technology, six consoles, six PCs, three TVs and couches for lounging. NICK PUCKETT the headquarters for the parks and recreation district’s esports program.

The room is open to any and all curious in getting into esports or for seasoned pros. The idea, Curtis said, is to create an inclusive space for all with a passion for gaming.

South Suburban has a spring break esports camp scheduled for the weeks of March 16-19 and March 23-27. The district is planning to have after-

school programs and various camps come spring.

One such camp Curtis is planning would be exclusively for girls to meet and learn about esports, an opportunity to encourage more female participation in esports. Curtis also wants to create adult leagues so the entire community can share in the common interest of gaming.

The esports room, completely de-

signed by Curtis, resembles a living room. Curtis wants to evoke an inviting atmosphere for interested newcomers or longtime gamers to hang out. The room will have six gaming consoles, six PCs, three TVs streaming Twitch (a popular app where gamers can watch other gamers play), couches and specialized gaming chairs. The Lone Tree Hub esports room will have its own Twitch stream so parents can monitor their children at the Hub from afar.

“The idea is to make it easily accessible to everybody,” Curtis said.

“Whether they want to watch because they’re curious, peek in to see what we’re about, come spend some time with their child here, maybe learn a thing or two about video games — there’s a place here for everybody.”

The esports room is age restricted, but a parent may sign off for a child to play a game outside of the recommended age limit. A date of birth is required to set up an account at the esports hub. The games will focus on team play and one-on-one types of games, Curtis said.

Nicole Stehlik, assistant director of recreation, said South Suburban wanted to create a place for kids to congregate and provide a resource to parents curious to learn more about the industry.

“There are very few places kids can congregate and learn new things SEE ESPORTS, P9

February 27, 2020 The Lone Tree Hub will soon be home to the first esports gaming room in the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. The room will open to anybody interested in gaming or looking for a place to hang out.

about the sport itself,” Stehlik said.

“Not only that, but it’s an opportunity to educate the parents as well. When you’re thinking about other sports, parents are always asking other parents or coaches what they think about a sport … They don’t necessarily have a great avenue for this particular program, so that’s what we’re trying to do as well.”

Curtis, 26, has been playing video games, either competitively or casually, for 20 years. Outside of South Suburban, Curtis runs Buttons on Wake-Up, a tournament series for esports combat-style games in Colorado Springs.

Curtis said it’s a fallacy that gamers need to commit to “the grind” to

improve. He believes interacting in a community of gamers, learning from each other and lifting each other up, is the key to becoming successful.

High school students can earn scholarships for their gaming prowess. The top gamers can make a living off video games. In 2019, esports viewership, through apps like Twitch, was 454 million, according to Business Insider. The industry is worth more than $1 billion, according to a 2019 report from Newzoo, a games and esports analytics group.

Curtis wants the new esports space to be a safe space for gamers to be in their element.

“You can come in here, relax and let things go for a few hours,” Curtis said. “Video games are an escape for a lot of people, myself included, even at 26 years old. I understand the need to get those things out and this is a healthy way to express.”

Recent periodontal surgery means no Craig Marshall hot, black coffee for two weeks.

Smith The impact of this will undoubtedly have an impact on my impact.

There are no hot foods for two

That’s manageable, but I have learned that foods that are generally served hot should not be served cold.

Cold macaroni and cheese is not very comforting. Neither are scrambled eggs or mashed potatoes.

I have to eat on the left side of my mouth. When the right side of my mouth has healed, Dr. Kim will repeat the procedure on the left side of my mouth.

No: It gallops by.

It’s another Olympics year. It’s another presidential election year.

Two weeks will come and go, then another post-operation period without coffee will come and go, and it will be summer, then fall, then 2021 before I know it.

And I will be back on the scalding nectar made from coffee beans, without which my similes are as flat as a board and dull as dullness.

The story about Chandler and the screenplay sounds like someone made it up, but it’s true.

Chandler was a heavy drinker. How he was able to drink and write is incomprehensible. I’ve tried.

He was offered more money to finish the script, but insisted on alcohol.

Chandler explained the drinking wouldn’t be a problem, but the aftermath would be. A doctor and nurses

were nearby.

The irony is he had to put words in the mouth of Veronica Lake, whom he referred to as “Moronica.”

A further irony is that Lake’s death at the age of 50 was, in part, attributed to alcohol abuse.

hen it comes to competitive events, I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy a close game as opposed to a rout, even when it may mean the team that I am rooting for has a chance of losing. You may understand this or feel this way too. A blowout of any kind and in any type of competition loses WINNING my interest pretty WORDS quickly.

Give me a good buzzer-beater, extra innings, a last-second Hail Mary or field goal, or a 40-foot putt on the 18th hole to win a championship any day.

Here’s the interesting thing. Although Michael Norton many of us enjoy the thrill and excitement of a close game, when it comes to our personal lives and careers, we want the easy wins. We look for the path of least resistance and hope that we can coast down victory lane. As I was having this conversation with a buddy of mine, and as we talked about some of the easy wins we have enjoyed together and some of the really close calls,

we agreed that although it was nice to cruise in with another win at times, it was the competition and energy of winning the close ones that gave us both a greater sense of gratification.

“Put me in coach, I am ready to play today …” - John Fogerty Every time I hear that song it inspires me to compete. And compete in anything, the game of life, the game of work, any game, just put me in coach, I want to play, and I want to play today.

To compete at anything, and to succeed at the highest level, requires work. And I am not just talking about competitive sports. The business landscape gets more and more competitive each and every day. So when we do practice and work at our craft, whatever it may be, and when we win, the victory feels so much better and tastes so much sweeter. Knowing that we earned it carries so much more meaning than having something given to us, doesn’t it?

Many of my friends and clients are in professional sales roles. They will certainly share that they would never turn down a “bluebird” opportunity, meaning a deal that comes in that

gun violence and 58% of adults or someone they care for have experienced gun violence in their lifetime with lasting effects. In 2019, our Douglas County school children were affected when schools were shut down across the state to protect them from a potential threat and then again during the STEM shooting.

Every year we lose more than 36,000 Americans to gun violence in our country. Their stories deserve to be told, their loved ones deserve to have room to grieve and remember their loss. We need Douglas County commissioners who listen to their constituents, acknowledge the trauma of gun violence in our own community and understand the need y for our community to heal from our gun violence experiences.

However, when we start sharing sales stories and winning the close ones, we can all feel the energy shift and the excitement building as if we were still in the process. The feeling of winning gives way to the sensation of being in the battle. We celebrate with a “cheers” for what we have accomplished and encourage one another as we prepare for the next opportunity.

Just like a blowout of a game could bring a case of boredom, a lack of competition and competitive spirit draws us closer to complacency and mediocrity.

contains the following procedural safeguards: Every ERPO request requires a hearing. The judge can issue a temporary ERPO following a hearing without the respondent present.

That order can only remain in place for 14 days. After that, the judge must conduct a second hearing with the respondent present. The longest an ERPO can remain in effect is 364 days. After that, if the order is to continue then the judge must hold another hearing in order to renew the ERPO for a period not to exceed a year. At any time while the ERPO is in effect, the respondent can ask for early termination.

In short, the procedure contemplates multiple hearings, up to three in a year, before a neutral party: a judge. Those who would provide false information in order to obtain an ERPO can be criminally prosecuted. Respondents subject to an ERPO proceeding can obtain a lawyer at government expense unlike hundreds of thousands of Coloradans facing drivers’ license revocations, termination of parental rights and evictions.

Similar laws around the country have withstood challenges to constitutionality. Colorado’s red flag law, too, is strong enough to survive a constitutional challenge.

And if we are going to compete, with any expectation of achieving success, we must work at the level we are capable of working. More importantly, enjoying the experiences, the journey, and the competition that comes along the way.

Or do you thrive in the pursuit of success and all the glory and competition that comes with being in the game and winning the close ones?

AMID HARDSHIP People experiencing homelessness find a ‘getaway’

VOLUNTEER The arts programs serving those experiencing homelessness are always looking for volunteers, program coordinators said.

Volunteer forms are available online at: Art From Ashes: artfromashes.org/ support/volunteer RedLine Reach Studio: redlineart. org/volunteer St. Francis Center: sfcdenver.org/ volunteer To volunteer with the Pari Passu dance program at the St. Francis Center, ask to be assigned to the program during volunteer orientation.

ithin a single week, dozens of regulars find their way to the 2300 block of Arapahoe and Curtis streets in Denver.

Steven Barth, a jazz keyboard player, leaves the homeless shelter he’s been staying at for eight months, headed to a weekly dance group at the St. Francis Center, a daytime shelter on Curtis Street.

Ashley Anderson and Paul Laurendine, a married couple who met at the day shelter, also make their way to Curtis Street each week, drawn to the dance group where they first bonded.

Richard Beck, an artist who goes by the name Gonzo, walks from his Denver home to the RedLine Contemporary Art Center on Arapahoe Street — where, having once slept behind the building each night, he has since accepted a position as studio coordinator.

Every week, these individuals are drawn to the arts programs that happen to run in the back-toback buildings. On Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, RedLine invites aspiring artists to the Reach Studio at 2350 Arapahoe St. And on Thursday mornings, ballet company Wonderbound holds a dance group at the St. Francis Center, 2323 Curtis St. The Denver arts groups, which each began within the last decade, seek to serve people experiencing homelessness in the metro area.

More than anything, participants say the programs are about momentarily leaving behind the negative to embrace the positive.

Artist Vanessa Constanti has four paintings featured in RedLine’s current exhibition. Having previously faced housing insecurity, “this is the first time I’ve been able to have an outlet for my art,” the artist said.

PHOTOS BY CASEY VAN DIVIER

Steven Barth sits on the edge of the dance floor at the Pari Passu dance program, using drumsticks to keep the beat. “It feels good to move,” he said. “It makes your heart beat.”

“We’ve been coming to this for years. It’s been our getaway,” Anderson said of herself and her husband.

Participants also say that programs like these are few and far between.

“I wish it would last longer.

There’s not much else to do,” said Barth, who often sits on the edge

of the dance floor in the St. Francis Center’s clothing room, using drumsticks to keep the beat while others are dancing.

“It feels good to move,” he said.

“It makes your heart beat.”

Programs’ purposes While the programs seek to achieve a common goal, each one

approaches that goal differently.

The Pari Passu dance program — named after the Latin term for “equal step” — specifically engages those served by the St. Francis Center. Every Thursday, participants decide how to spend the hour, whether that means dancing together or simply discussing music, said group coordinator Heather Sutton.

“This is a population that is told a lot what they can and can’t do, so we try to meet whatever the demand is that day,” Sutton said.

“One of the first things people lose when they’re experiencing financial hardship is access to the arts. It’s important for us to provide that.”

Directly after the hour wraps up at the center, Sutton holds another group at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, 2111 Champa St., Denver.

Sutton also coordinates for group members to occasionally watch Wonderbound dance rehearsals or attend local shows.

Pari Passu participant Debra Ann added that for her, the program is more than a chance to enjoy the arts; it’s also an opportunity to encourage those who are facing the same hardships that she is.

‘They stole him out of jail’ Local author’s book shares story of last racial lynching in South Carolina

“They Stole Him Out of Jail” book cover for Littleton author Will Gravely’s book. Gravely will speak about South Carolina’s last lynching on March 5 at Littleton Museum.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In May 1947 the courthouse in Greenville, South Carolina was the site for a trial that made national news and asked the question: Was a lynching possibly legal under any circumstances?

Littleton author Will Gravely, a native of Pickens, the town near Greenville where the lynching victim had been abducted from jail, was 7 at the time of the incident and was unaware of it then. He went on to teach history and religious history at the University of Denver. He decided to take an indepth look at the scene and the ensuing story — involving court records (there was no transcript of the trial), files of local and some national newspapers and magazines, and conversations with locals who remembered ...

National press figures appeared to

COURTESY PHOTO

record the scene for newspapers and magazines — including British author Rebecca West, aka Dame Cecily Isabel Fairfield DBE, who filed stories to the New Yorker.

Gravely is scheduled to talk about this story and presumably, his process in telling it, at the Littleton Museum at 7 p.m. on March 5.

A farmer had found 48-year-old taxi driver Thomas Watson Brown injured and bleeding on the night of Feb. 15, 1947 — a Saturday — and called for help. Brown was transferred to the local hospital in critical condition, and died two days later.

IF YOU GO Will Gravely will speak at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton, at 7 p.m. on March 5. Free, but a reservation is recommended. 303-795-3950.

Investigation on the night of Feb. 15 found tracks from Brown’s cab led to Tessie Earle’s home, where police found a gun — the probable weapon used — a jacket with stains still showing after washing and shoes that fitted the tracks. They belonged to a 24-yearold black man, Willie Earle, who was arrested and locked in the Pickens jail.

By the day after the attack, other cab drivers had convened and an angry mob started talking about taking Earle out of the jail cell. A caravan of 31 men arrived at the jail and pushed their way to Earle’s cell, where they grabbed him and went to a pre-chosen site to “interrogate” the young man.

Earle was shot, stabbed and bludgeoned, with the dead body left on the ground as the men scattered. Soon after the body was found, the FBI entered the scene in addition to state and local law officers — although the FBI withdrew several days later.

Gravely spins a story of passions, mob psychology, individual portraits and rivalries — and a prevailing point of view that is not as evident today, although it does keep surfacing in some news reports...

The 31 men were tried as a group and much of Gravely’s writing describes the words and actions that ensued — the judge’s rulings, the steamy, crowded courtroom — as well as profiles of many of the mob members.

(A list at the end of the book tells age, family status, education and occupation of the group, which adds to an overall image of the community.)

Program invites young people

“I like to lift people up. Instead of sitting out there alone, we can come here and have fellowship,” said Debra Ann, who asked that her last name not be used. “No matter what you’re going through, music’s good for your soul.”

Meanwhile, through its Reach Studio program, RedLine invites any artist to visit the studio and access the program’s workspace, storage space and materials.

Reach Studio also provides “professional development and opportunities to sell artwork,” said JC Futrell, RedLine’s education director.

Participants’ work is featured in permanent exhibitions at RedLine and Saint John’s Cathedral at 1350 N. Washington St., Denver, he said.

The studio’s core artists, who have regularly participated for six months, receive additional benefits including access to scholarships for the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design.

“This studio really means connection and it really means safety,” Futrell said. “I’ve got artists who tell me that before coming in here, they didn’t really see themselves as artists, and now they do.”

That’s been the case for Reach Studio coordinator Gonzo, who first came to the studio about a decade ago, hoping to leave behind a life of financial hardship and crime, he said.

“I came into this building trying not to be anybody anymore. The minute I’d leave here, there’d be drugs,

people who were addicted to things,” he said. “We’re always on the verge of being unsettled, but what’s kept me sane is consistency.”

Since joining the studio, he has accepted the coordinator position, sold numerous pieces and found stable housing, he said. He attributes the turnaround to his pursuit of an art career and says that, for many others, he’s seen the same transformation take place.

“I’ve created a whole new person,” he said. “I don’t do the things I used to do, and that’s what makes life

worth living.”

‘It saves your life’ Though many of the artists live within walking distance of the studio, some have a longer commute, coming in from the surrounding suburbs.

“We get artists from Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Englewood, Thornton — they come from all over to be in this space,” Futrell said.

Juannean Young, who left her job about two years ago to become an artist, drives to RedLine every week from Aurora, where she recently moved into a shared-living home.

Young and many of her fellow artists said that through the studio’s sales and connections, they feel they have started to make names for themselves in the art world.

Vanessa Constanti is one artist who’s found this success. In the past, the artist faced housing insecurity; she has since found stable housing, but she continues to visit the studio as she cares for her daughter, who has significant special needs, Constanti said.

In addition to selling artwork and being a part of exhibitions, the program provides something even more important, she said.

“When you’re dealing with special needs or housing insecurity, you’re never self-actualizing. You’re mired in just surviving,” she said. “This is the first time I’ve been able to have an outlet for my art. I think most of us will use the same terms: It saves your life.”

Cookie season keeps Girl Scouts busy Troop 59 sisters talk about their experiences with the organization

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sisters Tessa and Diana Baker have been Girl Scouts in Highlands Ranch for about 10 years.

One year apart, the siblings are both in Troop 59, which has Scouts from both Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree.

The two are extra busy this time of year with one of the season’s most anticipated events: cookie sales.

“It’s really fun because we learn a lot of life skills,” said Diana, 13.

There are 62 troops and about 400 Girl Scouts in Highlands Ranch, a spokeswoman for the organization said. Last year, about 35,000 packages of cookies were sold by these Scouts, she said.

From a woman tipping $100 to people ordering entire cases of cookie boxes, the sisters have had some memorable experiences while working on their salesmanship.

This year, Colorado is offering a new cookie called “Lemon-Ups” that feature Girl Scout mottos on the top.

The phrases, which are meant to lift the eater’s spirits, say things like “I’m a leader” and “I’m a go-getter,” Diana said.

While the two learn skills in areas like sales and business through this program, their favorite part about being Girl Scouts is all the camping they get to do, they said.

“In the summer we are going to Texas,” Diana said. “Not a lot of people can travel in big groups like that.”

In the past, they’ve gone ice climbing, backpacking, snow shoeing and even rappelling off a 100-foot cliff with their troop.

“It’s definitely risk-taking and we overcome our fears of heights and things like that,” said Tessa, 14.

In recent months, the girls and their troop completed the qualifications for a Silver Award, which is the second highest accommodation in the organization, after the Gold Award.

They fundraised to purchase shorter basketball hoops for students with limited physical mobility who are unable to reach a full-sized basket, Tessa said.

The girls saw that the schools were using trash cans as hoops for these students and felt this sent the wrong message to the athletes and spectators, said Tiffany Baker, the girls’ mom.

They accomplished the goal for both ThunderRidge High School and Castle View High School.

As cookie season gets close to wrapping up March 8, the girls are getting excited for their next big adventures with the Girl Scouts.

“Being a Girl Scout means being a go-getter, an innovator, a risk-taker and a leader,” Diana said. “or GIRL.”

Epilepsy treatment side effect: New insights about the brain Researchers garner information from procedures on patients with disorder

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON AND MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Though Genette Hofmann is still using her brain, last month she donated a bit of it — to science.

Hofmann needed the surgery — her Seattle surgeon was looking deep into her brain, where he found the trigger for the epileptic seizures that had disrupted her life for 30 years. But to get there, he teased out a bit of healthy tissue the size of a lima bean, and with her blessing quickly sent it to some researchers, who were eager to study brain cells while they were still alive.

That’s how Hofmann joined a long line of epilepsy patients who’ve helped scientists reveal basic secrets of the brain — knowledge that could pay off in better ways to measure consciousness in brain-injury patients and new treatments for a variety of diseases.

Those research volunteers included Ruth Nall, who made a different kind of contribution in a California hospital room, reading sentences aloud as a network of surgically implanted sensors kept close track of how her brain worked.

She injected dye that into how memory works. spread into the threadlike dendrites of the neuron to reveal its shape.

Seizures provide information Baker removed the cell’s nucleus The disease has a long history of for the third step: a readout of which genes are turned off and which are turned on.

About three-quarters of such donations at the Allen Institute come from epilepsy patients; the rest come from cancer surgeries. The Allen Institute is building an online atlas that makes information on hundreds of human brain cells freely available for study.

The institute hopes that will provide a new avenue, beyond brain scans and animal studies, for tackling conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and autism.

For Hofmann, 57, the decision to contribute to the study was simple, even beyond her own epilepsy. She spent years caring for a grandmother with dementia.

“It was the easiest decision I’ve ever made,” she said. “This will be my chance to make a difference.”

Dr. Andrew Ko, who performed Hofmann’s surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, stressed that it’s important to make sure patients understand the difference between what’s needed for therapy and what’s optional for research. At Harborview, Ko talks to patients about treatment while a research coordinator discusses the opportunity to participate in studies, he said.

Nall, the California woman, underwent surgery too. But before that, doctors had to discover the spot that was triggering her seizures.

To do that, surgeons often implant arrays of 100 or more sensors on and within a patient’s brain, to eavesdrop on its activity and catch the trigger in the act of causing a seizure. Patients being monitored in this way may spend a week or more in a hospital room as

doctors wait for seizures to happen.

During that time, patients don’t have a lot to do. For neuroscience researchers, a group of people with implanted brain electrodes and plenty of time is a golden opportunity.

“It is rare that you have the opportunity to study the brain in such a detailed way in awake people,” says Dr. Joshua Rosenow of Northwestern University.

Electrodes can change perception In some cases, researchers use the implanted electrodes for stimulation.

A few years ago, to explore the role of a certain part of the brain in perceiving faces, Dr. Josef Parvizi of Stanford University activated that area in a 41-year-old patient. The man was looking at Parvizi, who was next to his hospital bed, when the stimulation began.

“You just turned into somebody else,” the patient told Parvizi. “Your nose got saggy and went to the left. You almost look like somebody I’ve seen before but somebody different. That was a trip.”

Other times, the brain electrodes are used to monitor what happens as patients do specific mental tasks.

Patients may sniff odors, do math, sing, read specific words or sentences aloud, listen to music or speech, look at faces on a screen, name objects in line drawings, stick out their tongues, or do other things meant to create specific brain activity. All the while, scientists track what’s going on in their brains.

“There is an explosion of studies in this field, because it is immensely important to know the timing of events in the brain, which areas light up first” and which follow, said Parvizi. “And when area A lights up, what does area B do?”

The monitoring of Nall’s brain provided data for several papers published in the past couple years. One of her experimental tasks sounds a little strange: During her 2013 hospital stay she was asked to repeat the sentence, “I never said she stole my money” over and over, putting an emphasis on a different word each time. Those changes altered the meaning of the sentence.

Researchers had sought her help in learning how the brain produces and controls speech, perhaps a step toward helping people unable to talk. That goal struck a chord with Nall, who recalled that an uncle’s voice was stilled by Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Looking back, she said she’d encourage others to take the same step. “It is something you feel good about later,” she said. “Let your life be defined by the lives that you change.”

Two weeks after Hofmann’s surgery, a scar curves from the top of her right ear to her forehead hairline. “So far, so good,” she said. “No seizures.” Part of her brain is gone, but she doesn’t feel anything’s missing. In fact, happy memories have surfaced, “things I haven’t thought of since I was a girl.”

Contributing brain cells to science “makes me so proud and so satisfied,” she said. “It makes me feel more connected to the human race.”

prosecute the Golden State Killer in California.

“It gives new life to cases we once thought were unsolvable,” Jensen said.

Tracking a killer The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office was able to crack the case thanks to a new form of investigating that includes the use of DNA and genealogy.

Using a public database made up of profiles for those who have used genealogical testing programs, like 23 and Me and Ancestry.com, lead detective Shannon Jensen was able to find third and fourth cousins of Clanton based on DNA found on Pruszynski’s body.

Eventually, she was able to narrow it down to Clanton in mid-2019.

When she went into her supervisor’s office to tell him what she found, she was shaking with adrenaline, she later said in an interview.

“It was pretty exhilarating,” she said. “I said `I know who he is.’”

This is the same investigative tool that gained media attention in 2018 when it was used to catch and

A confession Once Douglas County investigators had his name, they were able to track Clanton to Lake Butler, Florida, in November 2019, where investigators recovered a beer mug used by the suspect and matched the DNA to what was found at the crime scene, according to an arrest affidavit.

Then, investigators took it a step further. They knew Clanton could try to explain his DNA being found on the body by saying he had simply dated Pruszynski or even by challenging the accuracy of the technology, said Sgt. Atilla Denes of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

“We wanted to make sure that we eliminated those defenses by basically locking him into his story,” said Denes, who was the lead interviewer in the case.

The investigators decided to ap-

proach Clanton and tell him they were investigating a financial crime and possible identity theft from his time in Colorado.

After an hour of interviewing based on the false premise, they showed him a photo of Pruszynski. Clanton asked for an attorney.

When investigator told him they’d be arresting him for first-degree murder, he professed his innocence. Denes informed him they had his DNA and “his response was something like, `well, all right,’” Denes said.

From that point, Clanton was completely cooperative, according to investigators. He didn’t fight extradition to Colorado and he fully confessed to the crime in December, even showing investigators where it all took place.

‘A lot of remorse’ During the long flight back to Colorado, Clanton opened up about his crime and his own history.

“There was a lot of remorse, he shed a lot of tears.” Denes said. “He said that he felt that he had received many more years of freedom than he 720-898-7200 or go to arvadacenter. org.

deserved.”

Out of all the suspects of violent crimes whom Denes and fellow investigator Lt. Tommy Barrella have dealt with in their careers, Clanton was unusual. He didn’t blame the victim.

He took full responsibility. He even apologized.

“He said every night he thought about her and her family,” Barrella said. “He said she didn’t deserve what happened to her.”

One thing he said was grateful for is that he was able to raise his daughter, who is now 32.

“He was just thankful for that opportunity,” Denes said.

Clanton also opened up about his personal history. After being abandoned by his birth parents, he spent many years in foster homes where he endured sexual abuse, Denes said.

There’s a possibility Pruszynski wasn’t the last person Clanton attacked, Denes said.

Area wrestlers post strong showings at state

STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Hockey player sticks to business Mason Hoehn is top scorer for Valor Christian

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherokee Trail picked up a pair of state crowns, Ponderosa third in team standings

P

ersonality-wise, Mason Hoehn is one of Valor Christian’s quietest hockey players.

However, on the ice he lets everybody know he means business. All that probably started when he convinced his mom to let him play hockey.

“When I was 4 my sister was figure skating,” Hoehn explained. “My mom would take me to her practices and I would always go to the other side and watch hockey. I just kind of fell in love with the sport. I begged my mom for a year to let me skate. She let me go out and I starting playing hockey after that.”

Hoehn, a senior captain, is the leading scoring for Valor Christian.

“My main strength is my playmaking ability and the way I play on the defensive side of the puck in the defensive zone,” he said. “My strength is getting the puck to my teammates.

I like scoring too, of course. I feel my impact is when I can get the puck to my teammates and they can have a good scoring opportunity and that can be even more effective.”

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Q&A with Hoehn Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Nathan MacKinnon. He is just fun to watch, how fast he is and he’s just a talented guy.

What or who motivates you most to excel in hockey?

I am motivated by the gifts that have been given to me. I feel like if I don’t work my hardest at hockey it would be a waste of the talent God has given me.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

Start with not getting scored on while on the ice, a 70% faceoff percentage and having a few points and creating offense.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Marine biology. It is not what I was expecting and it is a lot of fun. We have a fish tank to take care of and learning about the ocean is pretty interesting.

What are your plans after high school?

I’ve got a few chances with some junior teams in Canada and I know I want to play juniors somewhere.

What is your favorite food?

Either tacos or spaghetti. I also like sushi.

What is your favorite TV show?

“The Office.” It is hilarious with a lot of funny, dry humor jokes.

PHOTO BY JIM BENTON

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He was always a good player but he became a much more dedicated player probably by the beginning of his junior year. He started realizing how challenging it is to play after high school at the junior level. The example he sets with everything he does sets the standard for us.’

George Gwozdecky, Valor Christian hockey coach

Key stats | After 17 games, Hoehn was the team’s leading scorer with 11 goals and 15 assists for 26 points.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Cherokee Trail never had an individual state wrestling champion prior to the state wrestling tournament Feb. 20-22 at the Pepsi Center.

The Cougars wrapped up the Class 5A portion of the meet with two state champions and came close to having three.

Meanwhile, Ponderosa finished third in the team standings behind champion Pomona and second-place Rocky Mountain.

And, Regis Jesuit junior Antonio Segura captured his second state title to highlight the top performances by area wrestlers.

Sophomore Derek Glenn Jr. will go down as Cherokee Trail’s first state champion as he downed Freddie Sanchez of Grandview, 4-2, in the 106-pound championship match. Sam Hart added a second Cougars state title when he won the 220-pound crown with a 4-2 victory over Brighton’s Dylan BravoParker, which wrapped up a 42-0 season for the junior.

Senior Julian Williams had a chance to be the school’s third individual state champion, but he was dealt a 5-2 title confrontation loss to Columbine’s Zach Schrader at 285 pounds in one of the final matches of the state tournament.

Glenn gained revenge over Sanchez for a 3-1 loss in Centennial League dual meet action. He used a third-period takedown and held on for the victory, which gave him a 38-6 record for the season.

He didn’t qualify for the state tournament last season and he said it felt good to beat Sanchez.

“And I feel good to be the school’s first state champion,” he said.

Cherokee Trail had 10 state qualifiers, the most in school history, and Hart credits his teammates for inspiring his undefeated season. The Cougars were fourth in the team standings.

That new life is exactly what caused a section of the Douglas County East/West Regional Trail to close Feb. 19.

In compliance with federal and

We always pushed each other. We were one of the hardest working groups of kids in the state.”

Segura faced Legacy’s Joey Joiner once again for the state 145-pound title but instead of a one-point win like he recorded in 2019, he used takedowns to post a 10-7 decision over Joiner to end with a 47-5 record for the season.

He came out aggressive in his finals duel against Joiner and wound up with back-to-back state title triumphs.

“This one feels better,” said Segura. “It was a repeat. I felt confident and ready to go in the match. I wrestled well in the tournament. I had really good matches in the first two rounds. In the semis I had a bit of a scare (8-7 decision over Adams City’s Joshua Deaguero) but I was ready to go in my finals match. I had a close match last year (against

Joiner) and I felt I was going to put it on him this year and prove last year wasn’t a fluke.

“I was grateful for the opportunity.

I can remember as a little kid watching the state finals and thinking, man, that could be me someday.”

In other significant matches involving wrestlers from south metro area schools, Ponderosa freshman Jacob Bostelman lost his third place match to Thornton’s Chris Moreno when he was pinned in 2:13.

Murphy Menke, a Ponderosa soph-
