C-470 project gets federal loan

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The expansion of C-470 is getting financing from the federal government.

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner announced on May 1 that a $109 million loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation had been award-

ed to the Colorado Department of Transportation for the project, which will add tolled express lanes between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard.

The funding is provided under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, which leverages federal money to attract non-federal capital funding

for regional or national projects.

While Gardner sent out a press release on May 1 touting the loan and his support of the TIFIA program, the state was still waiting on an official award, CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said on May 2.

“This is great news for Colorado,” Gardner said in a statement.

Ford said the federal funding is

SUDHA CHANDRASEKHARAN

Entrepreneur who believes in compassion Family and giving back I have two kids. My husband works in corporate America. I emigrated from India about 15 years ago and have lived in Colorado ever since. I love hiking, biking and gardening. I am an artist and vocalist.

I have 17 years of experience in corporate America. I recently resigned from my job at Boeing, where I managed all of North American and Europe operations.

I believe compassion is very important in life and I love to volunteer. The more you give, the more you get back. What goes around comes around. I volunteer with different associations at the Douglas County schools and at the animal sanctuary.

Need for education I have always been very passionate about education. I look at education as a vaccine.

Education has been a single constant in the development of the entire human race. The disease here is a barrier. We can evolve as global citizens. We can focus on being more empathetic and seeing how our actions impact the rest of the world.

Entrepreneurship I recently started an education website called Learnskillz.

We officially launched around November of last year. It is a marketplace to everything related to tutoring and learning.

A lot of places you can find tutoring and teaching but this site brings it altogether.

Sudha Chandrasekharan is an entrepreneur who is passionate about education. She recently launched her website, Learnskillz, to pair those interests.

COURTESY PHOTO There is a feature where, if you pay the monthly fee, that gives you access to a lot more things at affordable prices. This is an educational technology start-up. Today we have 500 tutors in Colorado and are expanding to neighboring states. Pretty much, we are a marketplace to anything related to learning and tutoring.

We are trying to bring up the best and brightest students from across the world.

We had a kid who lives in a remote part of Colorado who is disabled and can’t travel but wants to learn the clarinet. I am not saying that Skype is the best way to learn the clarinet, but he could now use technology in a way where he can take lessons at home through Skype.

Highline Canal Conservancy unveils plan

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highline Canal Conservancy unveiled its final vision plan for the future of the canal and trail at a ceremony Denver’s Mamie D. Eisenhower Park on April 28.

“The Highline Canal’s meandering 71 miles will be preserved as a cherished greenway,” Highline Canal Conservancy Board Chair Nina Beardsley Itin said.

Over the decades, the canal has been transformed from a utilitarian agricultural irrigation canal into one of the lon-

gest continuous urban trails in the country, popular with cyclists, runners, dog walkers and horseback riders. Still, the conservancy says work needs to be done to preserve it in the future.

The conservancy spent the past year drafting the plan with input from users of the trail and officials of the many jurisdictions the trail passes through on its winding path from Waterton Canyon to Green Valley Ranch.

The vision plan sets objectives for the canal’s future, such as establishing models for long-term management

and funding, strengthening partnerships between the various jurisdictions the canal cuts through and providing roles for citizen input and stewardship.

The vision plan has been endorsed by Denver Water as well as the many jurisdictions the canal touches: Arapahoe and Douglas counties, Denver, Centennial, Littleton, Aurora, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch Metro District and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

The full plan can be found at www.highlinecanal.org/vision/.

Good news for chicken finger fans of south metro Denver — a Louisiana-based restaurant chain favored for its chicken strips and dipping sauce is opening two new locations in Highlands Ranch and Parker.

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is under construction in Town Center North, 1108 Sgt. Jon Stiles Drive, sandwiched between Bank of America and Carlos Miguel’s Mexican Bar & Grill. The location is the first in the Denver metro area. Plans call for a late June opening. Fifty to 60 workers will be hired in the upcoming weeks, a media release says.

A second location is scheduled to open in August in Parker at 18200 Cottonwood Drive. Three additional Denver metro area locations are to be built later in the year, the release says.

Founded by Todd Graves in 1996, Raising Cane’s has more than 300 locations across the nation, including Colorado’s first location in Fort Collins. The brand is named after Graves’ yellow Labrador, Raising Cane.

Popular items on the menu include chicken fingers, Cane’s sauce, crinklecut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, sweet tea and lemonade. The brand takes pride in its fresh, never-frozen cuisine.

“Denver has been on our radar for years, and I can’t wait to assemble our crew and open our doors in Highlands Ranch in just a few short months,” said Clint Owens, area director for Raising Cane’s.

Students raise chickens, grow vegetables as part of school day Eco-friendly practices teach students to be ‘stewards of the environment’

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Behind Rocky Heights Middle School sits a fenced garden with raised flowerbeds. Around the corner is a coop with 12 plump chickens. An Earth Tub, a large circular machine used for composting, is just steps away.

“We are teaching our kids to be stewards of the environment,” Principal Celine Wicks said, standing beside the tub filled with dirt and leftover kitchen materials.

Since implementing its ESTEM program three years ago, Rocky Heights in Highlands Ranch has made strides in sustainability while creating a sense of community among its kids.

Students harvest fruits and vegetables from the garden for the cafeteria and for culinary classes. For a small donation, they give fresh eggs to community members. They turn kitchen scraps into mulch using the Earth Tub. Eighth-grader Madelyn Klinkerman loves the ESTEM program, she said.

“It builds community,” she said, “helps our environment, increases our knowledge about our world and helps us to educate others.”

ESTEM — which stands for environ-

Rocky Heights Middle School Principal Celine Wicks visits with chickens in a coop that sits outside of the school. The coop, along with a garden and compost machine, exemplify the school’s sustainability efforts.

ALEX DEWIND ment, science, technology, engineering and math — is the brainchild of three teachers at the school: Rodney Graham, Cam Randolph and Tammy Melanson, who now works at the district level.

Graham, a language arts teacher,

thought of the idea after reading “Last Child in the Woods,” a book about the divide between kids and the environment. He noticed a lack of environmental awareness in the classroom, he said.

“I felt like the school should be doing

more with environmental education,” Graham said. “It’s a passion and concern of mine.”

Graham taught the pilot year of the program, which has grown into three classes with more than 60 kids, along with a garden club component.

The program is project-based with an emphasis on the outdoors. When the weather permits, students spend time in the garden and chicken coop.

They utilize the Earth Tub, donated by the school district last year, for mulch in the garden and around the school.

ESTEM is shaping the future while educating younger grades, said Brandon Bernsdorf, a seventh-grader in ESTEM. “The program makes Earth more sustainable, preserves wildlife and makes our lives better and easier,” the student said.

The sustainability practices extend beyond the ESTEM program — Rocky Heights as a whole has adapted an eco-friendly approach.

Culinary students use local and organic ingredients. Green recycle bins line the cafeteria. Lights in the common area and emergency lights that are on 24 hours a day will soon be replaced with LED lighting.

The goal is to have all of the lights replaced next year, said lead custodian Daren Brown.

“We do a lot,” said Brown, an employee of 10 years. “We give a lot to our kids and to the community.”

‘It is more about your team than it is about anything else.’

Clifton Oertli, owner of Resolute Brewing Co.

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clifton Oertli, 32, started his own programming and web development business when he was in high school.

His business involved buying and selling items on eBay. Today, he owns two businesses in metro Denver: Resolute Brewing Co. and NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. Beck Halbeisen and Vincent Rowe, both 18, recently started an app-based business. The app, Leave No Car Behind, is an Uber-like ride program that will not only take someone home, but will also get their car home. The app is made to get drunken drivers off the road.

Oertli, Halbeisen and Rowe are among those taking advantage of a strong climate for young entrepreneurs in the Denver metro area.

In 2016, Denver was ranked by NerdWallet.com, a website that focuses on personal finance, as the fourth best city in the country for young entrepreneurs. Researchers weighed multiple factors, with Denver ranking high because of an educated population, a strong economy and a high rate of loan guarantees by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Denver also was ranked by Forbes magazine in 2016 as the best place in the nation for businesses and careers.

The magazine pointed to Denver’s ability to provide a good “work-life balance,” something that millennials value most in their careers, according to the article.

Madhavan Parthasarathy is the director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver. He has noticed a shift of millennial interest in entrepreneurship, stating that it is “growing tremendously.”

Parthasarathy said an entrepreneur is largely defined by the mindset he or she possesses.

“An entrepreneur is someone who

to eventually go to the University of Colorado-Boulder to study business.

“Being an entrepreneur has been a goal,” Halbeisen said. “I didn’t think it would happen this early, but we are both fortunate for this to happen.”

In starting their business, Halbeisen and Rowe agreed that there needed to be a way to get drunken drivers off the road.

“We want the roads to be safer at night,” Rowe said. “The main reason that people justify drunk driving is so that they can get their car home.”

The app the teens created to solve the problem works by having two people arrive, one to drive the individual home and the other to drive their car home. The service, currently running in Denver and Santa Fe, New Mexico, has a base cost of $30 and adds an extra $2.10 for every mile driven.

Both Halbeisen’s and Rowe’s families have been affected by drunken driving.

Halbeisen’s grandfather, who was a state patrol officer, almost died in an accident involving a drunken driver, he said. After pulling a driver over one evening, a drunken driver drove off the road and pinned his grandfather against the other car.

Rowe said his cousin was a passenger in a vehicle and died in a drunken driving accident in 2016.

Halbeisen’s father, an app developer, gave the teens the necessary resources to create the app, which launched in March.

Starting this month and continuing into the summer, new cities are being added to the app: Des Moines, Iowa; Phoenix; Philadelphia; New York; and Dallas.

The two are exploring other ways to market their services, focusing on helping patients from a hospital get a ride home after a procedure.

Halbeisen and Rowe have been part of the driving team for their budding business. They said that even though they get calls at 3 a.m. on weeknights, it will be worth it in the long run.

“We want to take this as far as we can,” Rowe said.

They have already learned lessons about starting a business.

“You have to give it your all,” Halbeisen said. “You can’t expect things to happen, you have to go out and work for it.”

has a certain level of passion and a mindset that is curious enough to actually learn new things, be willing and open to different types of jobs and functions and able to actually take risks,” he said.

And, he believes, there is a specific set of skills an entrepreneur must possess. Among the skills are sharp thinking and the ability to make quick decisions.

An entrepreneur, he said, is someone willing to “do marketing, run finance, sweep the floors and do whatever is required to run the business.”

Entrepreneur from the start After hawking items on eBay, Oertli moved into a new project in college and joined a web startup company where he developed websites for the next five years.

Oertli, a Littleton resident, graduated with an engineering degree and decided to pursue a path in engineering. He worked at NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. in Wheat Ridge for five years before purchasing it along with four co-workers.

Just two years ago, Oertli decided to add something new and different to the mix by opening Resolute in Centennial with three other owners.

Running an engineering firm and a brewing company concurrently requires different mindsets, Oertli said.

“It is a big shift going from managing introvert engineers to managing extrovert creative types in the brewery,” Oertli said.

And people, Oertli knows, are the most important part of entrepreneurship.

“It is more about your team than it is about anything else,” Oertli said.

“The market, the product — every-

thing else is secondary to the team.”

The secret to a good team, Oertli has found, is diversity of both opinion and personality types.

“If you have your entire team comprised of people with the same personality type, they are all going to approach a problem with the same mindset,” Oertli said. “A different thought process might help you see a problem from a different perspective that one personality type might not see it from.”

Oertli’s people-focused drive is aimed to empower and encourage his team. Details of business are secondary.

“A lot of your problems will be solved by your team,” Oertli said. “Give Halbeisen them the right tools and give them the motivation to work hard.”

Oertli knew all his partners for years before going into business with them. Some he knew when he was 14.

Oertli defines entrepreneurship as creating a career that an individual Rowe is passionate about.

“To me, it has always meant that I get to make my vocation what it is that I enjoy doing,” Oertli said. “I can structure my career, my day and my teams around what I want to be doing every day.”

Development could bring thousands of homes to Castle Pines

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Pines officials are working with developer Shea Homes on the master plan for a new neighborhood known as The Canyons, which could mean the addition of about 2,000 new homes to the city of 10,500 people.

The development is planned east of Interstate 25 and just south of the RueterHess Reservoir.

Marcus Pachner, spokesman for Shea Homes, said the company is tentatively planning a two-phase project, with the first phase covering 650 acres and bringing 1,100 homes to the site.

Upon total project build-out, that number could rise to approximately 2,000 single and multi-family homes. When Shea purchased 1,270 acres of The Canyons in 2015, the company said it intends to invest $75 million in the community within the next four years.

Construction is planned for early 2019, and homes could be ready for move-in by late 2019. Although a price point isn’t yet available, the development will likely include houses ranging from starter homes fit for millennials to more luxury-style properties, Pachner said. There is also a dedicated school site in phase one of the project.

“We certainly have to allow for all buyers and price points to enter the market,” he said.

As for the look and feel of the community, Pachner said incorporating nature into the plans is “the primary guiding principle for the site.”

About a third of the 1,270 acres will remain open space, he said. Shea will also incorporate numerous parks and roughly 15 miles of trails.

With views of the reservoir to the north, Pikes Peak to the south and the Front Range to the west, Pachner said Shea Homes will create a “naturally breathtaking but amenity-rich community.”

The connection to nature will likely influence the style of homes found in The Canyons as well, Pachner said. Although specific design plans are still in flux, Shea is considering ranch-style homes that focus on main-floor living.

“So, it’s (nature) really inspiring every level of the community,” Pachner said, adding the overlying goal is to bring more faces to Castle Pines. “We’re bringing in new residents that will support existing businesses.”

That’s good news to business owners and residents like Andrew Dunbar, owner of Castle Pines Orthodontics. The orthodontist has operated his practice in Castle Pines for 15 years. He moved his family to town in 2002.

As a resident, he said, he’s somewhat concerned about the increase in trafSEE CANYONS, P8

STAFF REPORT

Among the 42 Boettcher Scholars announced May 9 are five Douglas County students.

Established in 1952, the prestigious Boettcher Scholarship program annually awards 42 scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Colorado.

The four-year scholarship includes virtually all expenses to attend the Colorado school of the recipient’s choice: full tuition, fees, a book allowance and

fic, but that was the only negative he found with the project proposal. But he anticipates some who call Castle Pines home will be unhappy with the results of a rising population, such as longer lines at the grocery store or stoplights.

Still, he believes the “sleepy, smalltown” feel will stay intact, and that the new neighborhood will do more good than not for small businesses.

“Once those news residents come, I think it’s really going to change things,” he said.

Castle Pines Director of Development Sam Bishop said the city is attracted to

an annual stipend for living expenses.

Scholars are selected based on academics, service, leadership and character.

In Douglas County, winners are: • Jenna Trost, Castle View High School • Ansh Desai, Legend High School • Niketna Vivek Legend High School • Sydney Marchando, Rock Canyon High School • Ryan, Vandersmith, Rock Canyon High School the nature-based development plan.

“It’s going to bring additional opportunities as far as recreation,” he said.

For now, the city is focusing on making sure the infrastructure would be in place for such a big community as the two entities collaborate on the project in 2017.

If all goes well, he said, the project could come before the city council for review by mid-summer.

Both Bishop and Pachner said the relationship between city and developer has been a good one. Overall, Pachner said, the master plan has taken Shea 16 to 18 months to create. Moving forward, they’ll take 2017 to work with the city and focus on the project’s preliminary plans.

“The city has very high standards,” Pachner said. “They are holding us accountable to that.”

Legislature OKs construction defects bill ASSOCIATED PRESS

The state Legislature has passed a measure to address pent-up demand for more housing by promoting condominium construction.

The Senate on May 4 unanimously passed House Bill 1279, which makes it harder for homeowners associations to sue builders over alleged faulty construction.

Developers blame skyrocketing insurance costs to defend such lawsuits for a

dramatic slowdown in condo construction in Colorado.

The bill would require homeowners to discuss any problems with developers before any legal action.

It also would require condo owners’ approval before any homeowners association can file suit on their behalf.

The bill heads to the governor’s desk.

In the absence of state action, some 17 Colorado municipalities had adopted their own measures on homebuilder liability.

Lightning strikes woman at park

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 50-year-old woman was struck by lightning May 6 at a Little League baseball game at Falcon Park in Highlands Ranch, Littleton Fire Rescue reported.

The fire department responded to the emergency at about 4:20 p.m.

The woman was leaning against a tree when lightning hit the ground nearby, causing her hip pain, numbness, tingling and flash burns on her skin, according to Jackie Erwin, spokeswoman for Littleton Fire Rescue.

The woman was transported to a local hospital. She seemed to be doing well when she was dropped off,

®

Erwin said, though her condition was unknown as of May 8.

The incident occurred about 24 hours before a woman and her horse were killed by a lightning strike in Sedalia as a thunderstorm swept across the metro area. A 15-year-old girl was injured as well.

When there is lightning in an area, Erwin advises people to immediately take shelter in an enclosed space, such as a bathroom, church, home or car.

If someone is stuck outside during lightning, he or she should curl up into the smallest ball possible in an open space, Erwin said.

“Ideally, if you hear thunder, lightning is right behind it,” Erwin said.

“Being outside or under trees is the worst place you can be.”

Hub ‘a good place . . . to relax, meet and have great conversation’ City, recreation district celebrate turning old library into community center

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree resident Sharon VanRamshorst had one word to describe the Lone Tree Hub, the old libraryturned-community center: “Terrific.”

“This, I think, is one of those things that we all saw that we needed,” said VanRamshorst, who has lived in Lone Tree since its inception in 1995, “a gathering place and a meeting place to serve people.”

On May 1, residents, city leaders and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District employees came together for the grand opening event of The Lone Tree Hub. The building at 8827 Lone Tree Parkway served as the city library before the opening of the new library in July at 10055 Library Way, near the Target shopping center at Lincoln and Yosemite.

The city teamed up with South Suburban Parks and Recreation to operate the building. South Suburban will offer programs in the three multi-purpose rooms, such as science, music and multimedia camps for children, yoga classes and social activities, like bridge.

“The city of Lone tree discovered long before I came along that we do our best work when we partner with others,” Mayor Jackie Millet said.

“I couldn’t be happier to acknowledge our partnership with the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.”

The classes will operate in line with South Suburban pricing. The Hub is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The conference room and the three multi-purpose classrooms are available to rent for $45 an hour for a room or $200 an hour for the whole facility.

Lone Tree set aside $609,000 for renovations in the building. The money went towards the construction of a reception desk, updating of meeting rooms and the addition of a removable wall in a large meeting room.

Residents who order books online from Douglas County Libraries also can pick them up or drop them off at the center. There is an additional shelf and display of books at the Hub that can be checked out through the Douglas County Library system.

The Hub’s lounge area is free and open to the public. There is a fireplace and chairs are situated throughout the building.

“It is a great district amenity for the residents of Lone Tree,” said John Ostermiller, chairman of South Suburban’s board. “We hope you will stop by to read, relax, visit and enjoy a cup of coffee. It will be a good place to get together to relax, meet and have great conversation.”

The Lone Tree Hub has a patio for residents to enjoy the weather and get together.

Citizens can check out books at The Hub through the Douglas County Libraries system. Residents can also drop off library books and put certain books on hold.

The Lone Tree Hub opened its doors to the community on May 1.

VOICES Not so transparent at Jeffco school board

T

o conduct a nationwide search for a new superintendent in 2014, Jefferson County Public Schools hired consulting company Ray & Associates. The firm notified hundreds of potential candidates and received more than 60 applications, then used feedback from the community and the school board to identify 11 top candidates. The school board then interviewed five individuals — without revealing their names and backgrounds to the public — before naming a lone finalist.

The process — met with loud outcry from the community over a lack of

transparency — resulted in the selection of Dan McMinimee, then assistant superintendent in Douglas County.

The only variables that were different in the district’s superintendent search this year that resulted May 1 in the naming of lone finalist Jason Glass, currently the superintendent of Eagle County Schools, is that the five-member board is entirely different and it interviewed six candidates instead of five.

Twice, the Jeffco school district denied requests from Colorado Community Media to release the names of the

six candidates who were interviewed.

“Dr. Jason Glass was the sole finalist made public pursuant” to the statute, stated the district’s May 4 response to our second request. “The remaining applicants are not considered finalists and their names and current positions will not be released.”

Under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), all finalists for a highranking or CEO-type position such as superintendent must be named publicly at least 14 days before an actual job offer is made, giving the public time to weigh in on the choices. (The board will meet again May 16 to vote to approve

Glass.)

In our view, one person hardly seems like a finalist.

According to merriam-webster.com, a finalist is “a person who competes in the last part of a competition.” The CORA statute defines a finalist as “a member of the final group of applicants” chosen by the board. Seems like Glass was the No. 1 choice — the winner, if you will — not a competing finalist.

guys who delivered the furniture took care of everything. I was an added stop on their route and they decided to make the delivery their first of the day. But they forgot to call in advance and their arrival was unexpected. So when they came in the driver apologized for not letting me know he was on his way, but hoped I would be happy that we were first on the list. I had no problem with being first, and they were so good at maneuvering everything without my assistance, and since it was also a fairly heavy piece of furniture, I tipped them very well.

Unlike the radiology technician, the driver responded with a smile-filled and optimistic, gratitude-filled comment, “Wow, so this is how my day is going to go, is it? I sure do hope so!”

what other choice the board could have made, the district limits transparency and strips the public of its right to know more about those who could make crucial decisions in their children’s lives.

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, put it this way: “Even if the school district’s procedure for choosing a sole finalist from six candidates didn’t violate the letter of the Sunshine Law and CORA, it certainly seems to have violated the spirit of those laws. The Legislature intended to give the public a meaningful look at the decision-making process when government entities hire chief executives.”

It was interesting that

this time around, the public, including the teachers’ union and several parents’ groups, didn’t find the board’s decision to conduct its interview and selection process in private as outrageous as it it did in 2014.

Was it because the present school board is much more popular in the community than the previous board? In November 2015, the community successfully recalled the board majority, which had garnered strong opposition and distrust among teachers and many parents for its policies and direction. The result of the election was an entirely new board because the other two members did not run for re-election.

Leslie Dahlkemper, a member of the 2014 school board who had voted against McMinimee’s appointment and who chose not to run again, said then: “I think the process is flawed because this board

the tale of two self-fulfilling prophecies. If we wake up and start our day filled with negativity and thoughts of fear, worry, and doubt, there is a high likelihood that our day will play out exactly how we envisioned it. We will probably get frustrated with equipment failures, have a short fuse with people around us, nothing will go right and we will come to expect the worst instead of the best.

However, like our driver mentioned above, if we start our day with optimism, we see situations where we can help, we smile and show gratitude in advance for all the good things that can come our way each day, we will probably have a better than good day.

Problems will come along for sure, but our positive attitude toward our work and everyone around us will allow us to deal with each obstacle and opportunity in such a way that we will more than likely end each day just like we began it, full of hope, optimism, and accomplishment.

refused to allow two or three finalists to come forward.”

This time Dahlkemper said, before Glass’ selection, that the board has done a much better job of listening to the community. “I think they did very good work there and I think it’s a big difference.”

John Ford, president of the Jeffco teachers’ union, who in 2014 was critical of McMinimee’s hiring process, felt differently about the selection process this time, too.

“All indications point to this being an actual national search and the qualities the board is seeking match the wishes of the stakeholders in Jeffco, not out-of-state millionaires and billionaires,” he said before the board’s final decision.

Glass, whose credentials are impressive, may very well be the best choice. But it’s hard to tell just how well the current board did — or did not — listen to the people of Jeffco,

since the names of the other potential candidates have not been made public and the vote to approve Glass was done in executive session behind closed doors.

Board members repeatedly stated that keeping candidates’ names confidential could help attract a better candidate pool because publicly naming the candidates could harm their relationships with current employers.

But for public sector executives, whose salaries are paid for with our tax dollars, that is a burden they are expected to shoulder for the sake of transparency and the public’s right to know.

Just last week, the city of Centennial held a public meetand-greet with three selected finalists for its city manager position. The city of Golden held a similar event last year before naming its new city manager.

When Glass was hired in 2013 as superintendent of the Eagle County school district, his name was revealed along with two other finalists before the choice was made.

As one more example, consider Grand Junction School District 51’s superintendent search last month. District spokeswoman Emily Shockley reports that the district named four finalists. Those four were not only publicly identified, they also took part in a community meet-and-greet before the school board held a public vote to choose the winner.

Only one of the top candidates opted to drop out because they did not want to be named publicly.

“I think we got a great candidate, regardless,” Shockley said. “And one that values transparency.”

It’s a shame the Jefferson County Board of Education doesn’t feel the same way.

If you are reading this column and happened to have a day that started out the wrong way, the good news is that you have an opportunity to change it right here and right now. Set pride and ego aside, look back on where things may have gone wrong, and think about what might have been different or what you can change immediately to get back on the winning path today. A little checkup from the neck up, if you know what I mean.

So how about you? Have you ever heard yourself asking something like, “So this is how today is going to go, is it?” Can you think of a time when you said it out of exasperation or maybe when you said it at a time of achievement? Maybe you have had both types of days, and now ask yourself, which one turned out better? I would love to hear which one did turn out better at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start out each day with an expectation of hope and optimism, it really will be a better than good week.

Rock Canyon student honored for artwork Mike Coffman Award goes to sophomore for ‘Grandma’ portrait

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, honored four high school students as winners of the 6th Congressional District 2017 Congressional Art Competition. The district encompasses Aurora, Littleton,

Highlands Ranch and Centennial, among other areas.

Of those four winners, Carissa Tan, a sophomore at Rock Canyon High School, received the Mike Coffman Award, honoring Coffman’s personal favorite piece, for her portrait titled “Grandma.”

First-place winner was Tan Rae Stokes, a sophomore at Grandview High School, for “The Intricacy of Life.” In second place was Kayla Rondinelli, a senior at

Cherry Creek High School, for “the Concrete Forest.” Johan Ramirez, a senior from Aurora Central High School, came in third with his piece “The Diverse CO Soul.”

Two professional artists selected the winners out of 34 submissions.

Stokes’ piece will go on display for a year in a public viewing area of the U.S. Capitol. She will also receive two free round-trip airline tickets to Washington to attend the opening display of the artwork.

Started in 1982 by the U.S. House of Representatives, the annual competition highlights high school students’

artistic works from across the country, a media release says. According to the Congressional Institute, more than 650,000 high school students have participated since the competition began.

“Every year, I am amazed by the artistic talent exhibited by the district’s high school students,” Coffman said in the media release.

“The display in the Capitol is really remarkable, and thousands of people from across the country and around the world will get enjoy this artwork while displayed in our Capitol for the next year.”

Going the distance: How to train for a 5K

i c

Proper training is key to avoiding injury and completing the race

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

f it seems to you that 5K races are a dime a dozen, you would be right.

According to research at Running USA, a not-for-profit organization that studies road races, the most popular race among long-distance events in 2015 was the 5K, with a grand total of 7.6 million finishers across the U.S. That’s millions more than the next most popular distance, the halfmarathon, which had nearly 2 million finishers in 2015.

The difference between the two is considerable: A 5K is equivalent to 3.1 miles; a half-marathon is 13.1 miles.

From just-for-fun runs, to fitness challenges to philanthropic causes, there are plenty of reasons to sign up for your community’s next 5K and join the masses.

WHERE TO RUN The following are just some of the many races for metro-area residents in the next few months: • High Line Canal 5K & 10K, May 20, deKoevend Park, along the High Line Canal Trail, Centennial; www.ssprd.org/raceseriesmore information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries more information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries • Parker Family 5K, May 21, Stroh Ranch Park, 18775 Stroh Road, Parker; www.parkerfamily5k.weebly.com/ • Cattle Crossing 5K and Family Fun Trek, June 3, Tallman Meadow Park, 12335 Canterberry Parkway, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Summer Breeze 5K, 10K and

Half-Marathon, June 17, Stenger Soccer Complex, 11200 W. 58th Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com • Father’s Day Classic 5K and 10K, June 18, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; arvada.org • Six Pack Series in Highlands Ranch: numerous race beginning Aug. 6 at Highlands Heritage Regional Park, 9651 South Quebec St.; 6packseries.com • So Long to Summer 5K, 10K and Family Fun Trek, Aug. 12, Salisbury Park, 11920 Motsenbocker Road, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Runapalooza 5K, 10K and HalfMarathon, Aug. 26, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com

Here’s what your local experts say you’ll need to know when training:

check in with their doctor first, just to be safe.

“You might not think it is a cardio issue,” he said, “but it might be.”

Conditions such as a recent pregnancy may create complications during training, even if a runner wouldn’t expect them to, he said.

Consult your physician Anyone with injuries or chronic conditions should consult a physician before signing up for a 5K race or longer event, said Nic Seaver, director of kinesiology at HealthFit Gym in Castle Rock.

He also recommends those without serious injury or other conditions

Start slow, build gradually There’s no rule that says a 5K must be run, Seaver said. Participants can

5 r w PHOTO BY SHUTTERSTOCK t also walk or jog. r Regardless, when it comes to train- w ing, he implores those who don’t regularly run distances to start slow m and build up their workout routine S incrementally. p “Start with your comfort zone,” he n said. “The biggest mistake is to shock yourself too early and either hurt yourself or scare yourself.”

For non-runners, that might mean walking or jogging somewhere between one and two miles during those first workouts. He also cautions trainers to take a rest day in-between runs rather than working out every single day.

If not, he said, you’re tearing your muscles down and increasing the risk of injury.

Follow a schedule Make sure you to give yourself plenty of time to train, Seaver said. He recommends starting training at least three months in advance of a race, especially for those who aren’t regular distance runners.

Then, stick to a schedule.

Cahoone takes listeners back to her Colorado country roots

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

W

hen multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and Colorado native Sera Cahoone calls for our interview, she’s in Laguna Beach, California, waves roaring in the background.

“I just needed to be near the water,” she explained with a laugh.

This setting and sounds were the perfect backdrop for Cahoone, who has been making the kind of acoustic folk music that breathes beautifully in the open air since her solo debut was released in 2006. On March 24, she released her fourth album, “From Where I Started” — the first on her own record label, Lady Muleskinner records, after three albums on Sub Pop. “I think every song on the album is very personal, and comes from true experiences,” she said.

As the title implies, Cahoone takes listeners back to her country-steeped musical roots — roots that were created and fostered at honky-tonk bars around the state. Just one of the benefits of having a father who was a dynamite salesman in the Rocky Mountain area, and brought the family along with him.

“I grew up and lived in Littleton and went to Columbine High School,” she said. “I don’t remember a lot of the Denver-area music scene at the time, but I remember Big Head Todd was really big, and you had the ska scene going on.”

TRAINING FROM PAGE 16

Run at least three times a week, starting with shorter distances if that’s your comfort zone.

At least two weeks before race day, a 5K participant should be at a weekly routine of running 1 mile early in the week, 3 miles mid-week and 5 miles at the end of the week, leaving one to two rest days before beginning the next week’s routine.

By race day, running as much as 5 miles should feel normal to your body, Seaver said. A properly trained race participant should be capable of running more miles than the race length,

SERA CAHOONE’S COLORADO DATES Bluebird Friday, May 12 9 p.m.

3317 E. Colfax Ave., Denver Fox Theatre Saturday, May 13 9 p.m.

1135 13th St. Boulder Cahoone started playing the drums at age 11, and the drums remain her main instrument to this day. She went on to teach herself guitar, and began writing songs, but she still feels most comfortable behind the drum kit.

She moved to Seattle in 1998 and joined the vibrant indie rock scene of the Pacific Northwest. She was the drummer for Carissa’s Wierd and then played drums with Band Of Horses, one of the most well-known bands to come out of that scene.

But the music Cahoone loved has always been slightly sepia toned — old country and blues, as well as 70s soft rock.

“These influences tend to come through in the music I make,” she said. “I did a lot demoing at home before deciding it was time to go to the studio. But once we got there, making the album only took maybe a week and a half.”

“From Where I Started,” is Cahoone’s first album in five years, a break that allows songs to evolve and grow, she said. Time off

without it being a significant challenge.

Avoiding injury Strength training — not just cardio — is crucial while preparing for a 5K. Exercise, such as weightlifting, helps connective tissues stay strong, Seaver said.

“When you’re running you’re putting more stress on your joints,” he said. “That’s something I run into a lot, is people just stop doing their more strength-oriented workouts.”

Keeping up exercises such as deadlifting or squatting can possibly prevent the most common running injuries such as tendonitis, pulls and strains in muscles, or in the worse case scenario, tears in muscles or ligaments.

Kiyoshi Yamazaki is a sports medicine physician at HealthFit who’s board-

certified in sports and family medicine.

He’s also a former NCAA track and field athlete.

The best way to avoid injury ties in with Seaver’s advice to start slow when training, Yamazaki said. When people quickly dive into running more than their body was accustomed to, injury becomes more likely.

“That jump sort of outruns — no pun intended — the caliber of your muscle tissue, ligaments, elasticity of tissues, and even just the muscle memory,” he said. “Over-training is the number one thing that ails our new runners.”

If injury does occur, he said, see your doctor or sports medicine physician. Often, they can keep someone training for a race and have them healed, or at least ready, for the big day.

also leads to some great stories, like the writing of album-highlight “Up to Me” — a song she wrote while on a women’s songwriter retreat on Whidbey Island, off the coast of Washington.

“You have all day in the cabin by yourself,” she remembered. “The song just came out, and it’s one of my favorite songs.”

Cahoone is back on the road now, stretching out her musical muscles on stage again, and will be playing a show at the Bluebird on May 12, and one at The Fox in Boulder on May 13.

“I’ve been gone from Colorado half my life, but any time I play there, it feels so great,” she said. “I love playing in Colorado because I get to see my family and friends. And playing the new songs for people is so exciting.”

At a time when arts funding is under attack, its important to remember its unifying power. And Cahoone is one of the voices calling for that unity.

“People need music — without it, this would be the worst world,” she said. “The arts and music world is so strong, and people will always make art and create community with it.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he wishes there was more cool honkytonk bars around. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share your favorite Colorado dive bars at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

P RO G R A M

Preparing on race day As adrenaline kicks in on race day, Seaver said, don’t be surprised if you run faster than in training.

“There’s excitement, naturally, for human beings when they’re in competition,” he said.

But overall, race day should be a normal day to someone who has put in the work and trained. His final health advice is to warm up through movement before the run and stretch well afterwards.

As far as mental preparation, Seaver reminds runners that the human body is more than capable of walking, jogging or running the approximate 3 miles a 5K covers.

His best advice on race day, Seaver said: You can do it.

Northglenn’s Food Truck Carnival returns to the city’s Community Center area May 12-14 with a carnival midway, live music and food provided by 64 of Colorado’s favorite gourmet food trucks.

“Its our biggest event of the season — that’s how we are treating it and promoting it,” said food truck owner Matt McDonald. “It simply is the biggest food truck event in the Denver area for the year, and we are going all in with both feet.”

The carnival’s initial outing was Northglenn’s most successful inaugural event, with more than 30,000 attending over the three days. It takes place at 11801 Community Center Drive.

The city is hoping its bigger and better sophomore event is even more successful: Last year, the event featured 22 food trucks — this year’s features 64 trucks overall, between 20 and 30 different trucks each day.

It also includes a small cadre of “designer” trucks — clothing and gift retailers in panel trucks — more parking and a bigger carnival.

“It’s a good combination of a lot of

E

( things,” Northglenn events supervisor Stokes said.

The rides are provided by Wright Amusements of Elbert County. But Stokes said the food is the main attraction.

“This is not fast food,” he said.

“They are gourmet. They were never meant to put food out fast, to be a slower option. So that’s why we brought in more trucks this year.”

Vendors said it’s a great showcase for what they do.

Jose Dominguez operates Arepas House, his Venezuelan-themed food truck. The Northglenn event was one of the best events he attended since he 2 started operation two years ago. u “It was amazing,” he said. “There f were a lot of people, a lot of business a for us. For us, me it was one of the t best festivals I attended in the last year. The lines were huge.”

McDonald, who operates two trucks, said both will be coming to the Northglenn event. His Hey PB &J truck sells gourmet grilled peanut butter sandwiches. His Meatball truck specializes in Italian sandwiches, like meatball subs and chicken parmesan.

“We normally run with two people per truck,” he said. “This time, we are bringing five people per truck.”

This freshman is on quite a roll

Beth Lebar, a senior and team captain for the Arapahoe girls golf team, said it has taken time to deal with getting out of sand bunkers. “By the end of my sophomore year I really started to analyze how to hit a sand shot versus just going up and hoping I would get out.”

Bunkers can be boom or bust Sand traps among most daunting hazards for high school golfers

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A sand trap placed in a troublesome position in the fairway or around the green can be a feared hazard in golf.

Most professional golfers have learned how to expertly deal with sand traps, or bunkers, but many amateurs try to avoid them to keep from possibly elevating the numbers on their scorecard.

In Colorado high school girls golf, approaches on how to handle the hazards vary. And with the season

WHAT’S THE RIGHT MOVE? Knowing what to do in a bunker can be complicated, but “Golf Monthly” magazine has listed a few dos and don’ts so golfers won’t need to include a United States Golf Association rule book in their bag. Here are some of those tips: • Golfers can’t ground their club or touch the sand with their hand (USGA Rule 13-4b) • Touching or brushing the sand with the club on the backswing is also a breach of Rule 13-4b.

• All violations of Rule 13 incur a two-

stroke penalty in stroke play and loss of a hole in match play.

• Golfers are allowed to remove movable obstructions or anything manmade, like scorecards, gloves and head covers, but not anything classified as a loose impediment, like twigs, leaves, cones and branches.

• If a golfer stumbles entering a bunker and uses a club to prevent from falling, that is fine according to exception 1a to Rule 13-4.

winding down — regionals were earlier this week and the state tournaments are set for May 22 and 23 — proficiency in escaping sand traps will keep scores from soaring.

For any golfer, having the right mental approach when faced with a

stop in the sand is important.

To help keep them from seeming like daunting obstacles, Valor Christian coach Scotty Hofer doesn’t use the words “sand trap.”

aitlyn White is used to getting quirky looks.

The 14-year-old ThunderRidge freshman knows bowling is not a mainstream high school sport.

“Some people ask what sports do you play, and I say bowling,” she said. “They give me weird looks and then they say that’s so cool.”

White, who is a 170-averOVERTIME age bowler, started bowling when she was 6 and has been working on building up her college scholarship fund via her talent on the lanes.

“I did it once and really liked it,” she said. “They said I could get really good scholarship money and I Jim Benton could get into a real good college with bowling. So I went along with it.”

Bowlers earn scholarship resources at the conclusion of junior leagues by finishing among the leaders in tournaments. All scholarship resources go into the United States Bowling Congress Smart Program Scholarship fund.

White — who is the granddaughter of Colorado Community Media administrative assistant Pat Smith — has $3,600 in her account.

In my younger years, I spent a lot of time bowling in traveling leagues and house leagues at bowling centers that no longer exist.

To become a good bowler takes practice, the ability to make adjustments for lane conditions and the mental fortitude to overcome aggravations like sticking a 10-pin or chopping the six-pin off the 10 on a spare attempt.

White has the right attitude to overcome a bad game or series.

“You have to stay focused,” she said.

White has her sights set on going to college with her scholarship accumulation and maybe even bowl in college.

The NCAA sanctioned women’s bowling in 2003-04 and there are 139 colleges that have women’s varsity bowling teams.

A dominating player The regular season is over in the Jefferson County 4A baseball league and fans interested in statistics will see how dominating a season that Green Mountain junior JD Wadleigh is having.

Wadleigh, who played as a freshman at Faith Christian, leads or is tied for the league lead is six categories.

He is tops with a .500 batting average, tied with teammate Luke Kuberski with five home runs and his 1.035 slugging percentage is the best in the league. The pitcher/ outfielder also leads the league with a .623 on-base percentage, 67 strikeouts and seven pitching victories.

Creek lives up to its ranking in win over Mountain Vista Golden Eagles lose to Bruins 14-6 in lacrosse match on home field

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a tune-up for the upcoming state playoffs when Cherry Creek, top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com boys lacrosse poll, faced off against second-ranked Mountain Vista.

Creek was sharp with its possession, never trailed and posted a 14-6 victory over the Golden Eagles in the May 2 game at Mountain Vista.

“It helps us get ready for the playoffs, take a look at some things and see how we need to get better,” said Bruins coach Bryan Perry. “We’ve got a good group that plays really well together.”

It was the Bruins’ second win over Mountain Vista this season after a 12-7 win on April 7.

Key moments Cherry Creek (13-1) scored two quick goals to start the game and never looked back.

The Centennial League champion Bruins led 8-5 at halftime and outscored the Golden Eagles 6-1 in the second half.

Key players/statistics Senior Asher Nolting had five goals and three assists to pace the Bruins.

Nate Miller had three goals and an assist while Alec Bildstein and Connor Till each had two goals. JT Simonton won 19 of 24 faceoffs. All four players are seniors.

Colin Munro and Griffin Bonjean each scored two goals for the Golden Eagles (10-4).

They said it “This week gives us a clear picture of what we’re working with,” said

Cherry Creek’s Asher Nolting goes around the goal as Mountain Vista goalie Jonah Hirshorn watches during the May 2 game played at Mountain Vista. Nolting scored five goals and added three assists as the top-ranked Bruins notched a 14-6 victory over the second-ranked Golden Eagles.

“Going into the playoffs I think we’re going to be pretty confident and tough to beat. I’m pretty excited.”

Mountain Vista coach Jamie Munro hopes the schedule pays off for the Golden Eagles, who won the Douglas County League title.

“We have the toughest schedule in the state and we’re getting a taste of that every game,” he said. “Creek took it to us and we’re going to have to go back and figure out what to do better.

Nolting said the win over Mountain Vista provides a boost for the Bruins.

“Mountain Vista is a great program, well coached with a ton of good players,” he said. “Our coaches have

hammered to us all season on possessing the ball. It’s pretty evident on the field. That’s a big key to our success.”

BUNKERS

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy’s play in the sand trap has improved dramatically. She says practice helps build confidence to successfully get out of sand traps.

FROM PAGE 23

“They are bunkers with sand,” he said. “If you call them sand traps, right away you are trapped and can’t get out. They are hazards. It is really not a hard shot for people used to making it.”

Hofer noted that sand shots, at least from greenside bunkers, are the only shots in which a player is not supposed to hit the ball first. Executed properly, a player’s highly lofted club — a sand wedge — strikes the sand behind the ball, popping the ball out of the trap.

When not hit correctly? The ball might stay in the bunker. Or it might come flying out like a missile.

‘Just don’t get in them’ Some believe the best strategy is to keep a healthy distance between themselves and bunkers.

That’s Arapahoe senior Beth Lebar’s approach. For her, an early trip to a trap can set a positive or negative tone.

“Like today, the first time I was in the sand, I hit it three times trying to get out,” Lebar said after competing in the Centennial League tournament in April at Broken Tee Englewood.

“So the rest of the day I wasn’t super confident out of the sand.”

But for the most part, she has learned how to handle the obstacle.

Lebar is a team captain and a fouryear varsity player who is vying for

“I used to be really afraid to hit out of the sand, but now I know how to talk myself through it and kind of calm down a little bit and it’s not the worst place to be for me anymore,” Lebar said.

Ralston Valley senior Jordan Remley is one of the state’s best golfers and is headed for the University of Wyoming to play, but her performance in sand traps still needs work, she said. Like Lebar, she prefers to stay away from bunkers.

“I’d say they are one of my weak points,” she said. “My point is just don’t get in them. It can definitely be mental.

“I’m more confident that I used to be. I’m still working on it.”

The role of repetition Practicing in traps is helpful.

“There are very few courses with sand to practice,” Arapahoe coach Patrick Wilson said. “Family Sports (in Centennial) is good but I tell the girls to make sure nobody is behind the trap in case they (mis-hit) a shot.

“We play the par 3 and I tell them to drop a ball in the sand. Don’t keep score, but practice getting out of the sand.”

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy has improved at getting out of bunkers, and that has helped her lower her scores to the high 80s this season. She credits practice.

“I’ve improved by just practicing the shot and getting it consistent,” Murphy said. “Repetition of the same thing is really important and just relaxing every time you get into one — otherwise you get in your head, and a lot of times people struggle to get out and the ball stays in.”

Rock Canyon assistant coach Ron Saul just told Murphy to try to not spill water.

“What I taught her to make sand shots easier was to imagine a glass of water sitting on the club face and you have to hold it so you wouldn’t spill a drop, and swing in the bunker so you don’t spill a drop,” he said.

Legacy coach Mark Glen said, ultimately, high school players get out of sand traps just like anyone else.

“Like any other shot in golf, the more you practice a specific shot correctly, the better you get at it,” Glen said. “Can it become a mental obstacle? As I watch players on the LPGA and PGA tours, sure looks like they try to avoid them and bad shots do occur at times with that mental image.

“It is about humans, with faults, playing a game designed not only to test one’s physical capabilities but his or her emotional, mental and, at times, spiritual potential as well.”

Legend, Regis tie for league championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was nearly impossible to tell what would happen in the Continental League baseball race as the regular season drew to a close.

Legend and Regis Jesuit finally emerged as co-champi-

ons of the league despite the Titans’ 6-3 victory over the Raiders on April 27.

Heading into the final league games of the season May 3 and 4, there were six teams — Legend, Douglas County, Mountain Vista, Heritage, ThunderRidge and Regis Jesuit — tied first place.

Four of the teams played each other as Legend faced ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista took on Regis, so two teams would be eliminated from at least a share of the title.

Douglas County faced Class 4A Ponderosa and Heritage played last-place Chaparral.

Legend whipped ThunderRidge 10-0 on May 3. Regis gained a share of the title with a 7-3 victory over Mountain Vista on May 4.

Ponderosa rallied to spoil Douglas County’s bid for a first-place finish with a 4-3 win over the Huskies on May 4, and Chaparral played the spoiler

and held off Heritage to notch a 4-3 victory.

Eight league champions are guaranteed a position in the district playoffs, which will be held May 13, but seedings and possible host roles for the district tournaments are determined by RPI standings, which are a type of computer rating.

Panelist Peter Stacy, a first-year student at Rocky Vista University who worked as a campus police officer while going to college in California, answers a question from the audience at a domestic violence workshop. Tracy says many perpetrators are actually relieved once they are reported to law enforcement. Pictured from left to right are: moderator and RVU student Annelisa Pessetto, campus security supervisor Andrew Stevens, Dr. Laura Mohr, Ph.D., and Tracy.

Domestic violence ‘is everywhere — it’s here’ Rocky Vista teaches students to spot domestic violence in patients, each other

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One of the most surprising aspects of domestic violence is how commonplace it is, even among prospective doctors and nurses.

“People think of it as something that happens in the inner cities,” said Dr. Laura Mohr, director of counseling services for Rocky Vista University in Parker. “But it’s everywhere — it’s here.”

Mohr counseled post-graduation interns and residents in Michigan from 2001-07 before joining the Rocky Vista staff in 2008. Her biggest surprise then, she said, was learning many of the

WHO TO CALL FOR HELP National Domestic Violence Hotline, 800799-7233, or local resources in Arapahoe County, 303-343-1851, or Douglas County, 303-688-8484 female physicians she talked to were in abusive relationships. Rocky Vista hosted a panel discussion last month featuring Mohr to address the issues of domestic violence and stalking, to give students and staff resources and information before those issues become a problem on campus.

Campus Safety and Security Supervisor Andrew Stevens said there haven’t been any confirmed cases of domestic violence at Rocky Vista yet, but he wants to take a proactive approach.

“It happens so frequently on college campuses that it would be irresponsible SEE DOMESTIC, P31

of us to assume it’s not happening,” Stevens said.

“Unfortunately, it’s probably going to happen.”

About 35 students and staff attended the discussion, led by Stevens, Mohr and first-year student Peter Stacy, who served as a campus police officer in California before attending Rocky Vista. The event, part of the school’s two-week Violence Education Prevention program, focused primarily on domestic abuse, and Mohr explained that the goal of the discussion was twofold.

“We’re educating physicians of the future — they need to know how to ask the questions and recognize the signs in their patients,” Mohr said. “We also have to make sure that they’re healthy themselves.”

There isn’t much data on the prevalence of domestic violence in the medical community because the problem is “tremendously” under reported, she said.

Dr. Laura Mohr, Ph.D., makes a point during a question-and-answer seession at a panel on domaestic violence and stalking at Rocky Vista University on April 19.

TOM SKELLEY “These are self-appointed helpers,” Mohr said. “They think they can handle it, or they think they can fix the person doing it.”

Signs of domestic abuse are usually noticeable in someone’s behavior more than in their appearance, Mohr and Stevens said.

The victim’s grades or job performance may be slipping, or he or she could seem depressed or withdrawn.

More often than not, any interventions begin with a discussion about how the victim is feeling. And it takes a lot of time before an admission of what’s really going on.

Panelists encouraged audience members who know someone being abused to assure them their situation is common, and to mention that others they know, even friends or relatives, have experienced the same thing. For their patients, they suggested questions like “Are you happy?” or “Is something at home making you feel this way?”

Reporting the abuse, the panelists all said, is critical in any case, and is mandatory for doctors in Colorado.

Safeguards are in place at the school and with local law enforcement to protect victims and others who report it, Stacy said.
