‘I’ll be there for my little girl’ averick’s Last Ride didn’t start exactly as Christian Redman — called Maverick in his Army days — had

hoped.

He was scheduled to leave March 4 from his Parker home with fellow veteran Ray Simpson from Colorado Springs, who was pulling his camper and a couple of motorcycles for the Blackhorse caravan to Louisville, Kentucky, and ending in Key West.

Redman, 51, an 11th Army Cavalry Regiment veteran, also known as the Blackhorse, is dying of cancer.

His fellow Blackhorse troopers and veterans planned this last ride to help him celebrate his daughter’s 18th birthday on March 10 in Louisville and get to Key West, one of his favorite places, one last time.

Friends and veterans have been raising money to help pay for the trip and ongoing medical expenses.

Redman became sick and could not leave with Simpson. But he was able to fly to Louisville March 8 and celebrate with his daughter.

“I’m on the plane,” he said in a text. “Thanks to all who have helped make this happen.”

He was scheduled to return to Parker March 11 for medical appointments, but then will fly to Key West on March 15, where he will meet with his daugher and Blackhorse veterans.

“I’m not doing too well, but I’m going, come hell or high water,” he

Blackhorse veteran Christian Redman, left, and his daughter, Alexis, celebrate her 18th birthday on March 10 in Louisville, Kentucky. Redman, 51, who lives in Parker, is dying of late-stage colon cancer. One of his greatest wishes was to be with his daughter on her birthday.

The Parker restaurant and bar Takoda Tavern held a fundraiser March 9 to help pay travel and medical expenses for Christian Redman, the Army veteran who is dying of cancer and wanted to make a last trip to see his daughter and visit Key West. Parker resident Ron Meier, left, and Takoda owner Bob Nobles helped organize the event.

Stopping by were Army veteran Derrick Riley, center, who is commander of the Elbert County VFW; Army veteran John Grose, who drove in from Bennett to support the cause; and WWII veteran Jack Plylar, 97, also an Elbert County resident.

Police scanner access fading as agencies cite safety Some departments embrace encryption, drawing scrutiny from media experts

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deputy Corie Chance sped in his vehicle to the scene of a shooting that would leave fellow Deputy Zackari Parrish dead and six other people injured.

Chance’s radio told him a gunman shot multiple officers the morning of Dec. 31, 2017. When he arrived on scene, word spread that an injured, unresponsive Parrish remained trapped in the gunman’s apartment, along with Parrish’s radio, feeding the suspect a stream of information.

An order went out to switch from the main radio channel to an encrypted one, but the new channel was buried under more than 15 options. Chance fumbled through channels as bullets zinged around him, searching for the right one.

The experience in Highlands Ranch is why Chance is glad the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has since encrypted — or blocked from the public — some of its main radio channels, and he hopes they encrypt all in the future.

But Jeffrey Roberts, who worked at

SUNSHINE WEEK 2019 Colorado Community Media is joining news organizations across the nation March 10-16 in marking Sunshine Week.

This week is a reminder of the importance of open government and the vital need for access to public information. Find more at sunshineweek.org The Denver Post as an editor and reporter for 23 years, is one of many raising concerns about the recent trend of Colorado law enforcement agencies encrypting their airwaves. Roberts is now executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for freedom of the press and open records.

Members of the public and media frequently listen to scanners or apps to follow radio chatter. It helps them gauge whether the government is serving the governed, Roberts said, or informs neighborhood watch programs.

Many journalists rely on scanners to know when and where breaking news occurs. Scanners inform their line of questioning, give them leads and so on. Encrypted radios leave them at the mercy of law enforcement agencies, Roberts said.

“You really need this information, otherwise you’re just relying solely on the agency to let you know, and on their schedule, and in their fashion, and perhaps with their take on things,” he said.

Al Tompkins, the St. Petersburg, Florida-based Poynter Institute’s senior faculty and group leader for broadcast media, said encrypting radio channels is a national trend that began more than 20 years ago.

While it is “easy to understand why police want to have private radio transmissions,” encrypting can present a host of problems for the news media, said Tompkins, whose institute is a nonprofit school for journalism that is a nationally renowned resource on media issues.

Some members of the law enforcement community say encryption is crucial for protecting private information and first responders’ safety. Those opposed say it diminishes transparency and hinders the work of journalists.

To encrypt or not to encrypt?

The tragedy in Highlands Ranch spurred a policy shift at the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, which six months ago completed the encryption of two of its four main channels. It has roughly 20 in total. Prior to then its SWAT channels were encrypted.

The Columbia Journalism Review reported in January that more than two dozen Colorado agencies fully encrypt their radios. The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office is still deciding if it will join those agencies. That remains a possibility, said Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth, although she did not know if or when a decision would be made.

Christ-Centered: Service

The Denver Police Department is poised to block its radio traffic this spring. The agency’s suburban counterparts range in their level of encryption.

In 2017, the Thornton Police Department switched from public to encrypted radio signals. The Arvada department has fully encrypted for roughly three years. Littleton’s police department is researching encrypting one of its special operations channels.

The Castle Rock department began encrypting certain channels five years ago. Its main channels are public and encrypted lines are used on a case-bycase basis.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office encrypts two of its channels, one for SWAT and one for investigations, a spokeswoman said.

Other forces, including the Englewood Police Department, the Northglenn department and the Adams County Sheriff ’s Office, do not encrypt.

In Douglas County, Nicholson-Kluth said the sheriff ’s office encrypted some channels for two key reasons. The first was illustrated through the Highlands Ranch shooting, she said. The sheriff ’s office wanted deputies to easily and quickly find a secure channel when responding to serious incidents and to prevent suspects from tracking them through public channels.

“They don’t want the bad guys listening in,” Tompkins said.

But he questioned how often agencies could prove criminals use public radio channels to spy on law enforcement.

Douglas County’s second reason was to protect personal information that’s sometimes shared on the radio. If people were to make a public records request, Nicholson-Kluth said, it’s the type of information that would be redacted under openrecords laws.

Thornton police officer Matt Barnes, a department spokesman, said transmissions on public safety radio systems are “much more prevalent today and are increasingly used to” share information on law enforcement and private citizens. It contributed to the department’s choice to encrypt, he said via email.

The Arvada Police Department switched after it experienced suspects tracking officers through radio scanners, said its spokesman, Detective David Snelling. Snelling described how in several instances, officers approaching a residence heard their transmissions from nearby smartphone apps or scanners seconds after they made them.

“You can imagine how unnerving that is,” he said, “when you can hear your own voice coming from inside the house.”

Snelling said the department switched over during an equipment update in 2015. It replaced or upgraded radio towers, installed in-car equip-

ment, plus more, and because they had the ability to encrypt along the way, they did. There was no additional cost for the encryption, he said.

A bill introduced by state Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, R-Highlands Ranch, was killed in committee during the 2018 legislative session. It would have prohibited other agencies from following suit, allowing them to encrypt only in certain circumstances, such as tactical or investigative situations.

Van Winkle did not respond to a request for comment for this article, and it was not known if a similar bill would be introduced this legislative session, which ends in May. Access for some The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office may be willing to provide media outlets with access to encrypted channels.

Their concern is not with journalists listening in, Nicholson-Kluth said. In what form and at what cost remains undecided, but it could be through a link to an online streaming service.

Tompkins said that level of access is not uncommon in some media markets, where police supplied unencrypted scanners to newsrooms. Still, he cautioned it’s “an uncomfortable answer” to the dilemma.

Law enforcement can become angry with the media and take scanners away, or “just as bad,” news departments are cognizant of that possibility and avoid being too critical of police.

Snelling insists media needn’t worry about retaliation from his agency.

“Absolutely not. I think (transparency) is engrained in our culture at the Arvada Police Department,” he said.

“I think we do have a pretty open and

transparent department without having our radios open, and we’re willing to answer or respond to any inquiries at any time.”

The Denver Post reported the Denver Police Department, which plans to encrypt possibly as soon as April, will require media outlets to sign a memorandum of understanding to access their radio communications.

Roberts said he — as a member of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, the Colorado Press Association and the Colorado Broadcasters Association — met with Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen and other department heads three or four times prior to the decision, at the department’s invitation.

They discussed alternatives to encryption, he said. In the end, the

department agreed to provide news organizations scanners at a lower-thanretail price if they signed the MOU. The language of those agreements is not yet available.

“There’s not a lot of recourse that the news media has other than to make the argument that they need these tools to properly inform the public,” Roberts said.

Tompkins said even if agencies encrypt radios, their communications should be recorded, and those recordings should be open to public records requests.

“The only upside may be that all of this forces news departments to develop real sources in police departments,” Tompkins said, rather than being “reliant on the sensational stuff that flows from scanners.”

Douglas County School Board approves oversight committee Members will oversee use of bond, MLO funds

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District’s newest committee is a melting pot of backgrounds. One person comes from local government, another from the business community. Some are teachers. Others are parents. There are skeptics and there are supporters.

At a March 5 meeting, the board of education unanimously approved 20 people who will serve on the district’s Mill Bond Oversight Ad-Hoc Committee. Members will oversee the district’s use of tax measure funds.

“This truly is an oversight group,” said school board President David Ray. “It’s really to ensure that what we said we would do, we are doing.”

Following years of budget cuts and what some community members describe as distrust in the school district, voters approved two tax measures last November. Ballot Issue 5A, a $40 mill levy override, is for teacher pay and programming. Ballot Issue 5B, a $250 million bond, is going

Parker, South Metro honor Rocky Vista’s community spirit STAFF REPORT

Rocky Vista University was honored for its contributions to the safety of the Parker community during a special presentation March 6 by the Town of Parker and Mayor Mike Waid.

The honor comes, in part, because of the university’s sharing of resources, commitment to emergency preparedness and dedication to training first responders, according to a news release.

As part of its ongoing partnership with South Metro Fire and Rescue, Rocky Vista participated in simulation drills to train Parker’s emergency responders for worst-case scenarios.

Most recently, Rocky Vista provided military training, equipment and other resources to support a nine-day active shooter/mass casualty drill.

The university’s students, faculty and staff provided expertise at the site of the simulated emergency and in the emergency and operating rooms at nearby hospitals. The drill helped to develop best practices for participating hospitals and trained close to 1,000 first responders, medical personnel and community members, the release said.

“The event is absolutely amazing,” Waid said during the award presen-

tation. “This is cutting-edge training happening right here in Parker, Colorado, and specifically with our first responders and law enforcement agencies. If we have an active-shooter situation, we will be well-prepared.”

Rocky Vista also has partnered with South Metro on numerous research projects, such as researching the effects of stress on first responders through the collection of real-time biometric data during a past drill. A second research project connected biometric data to software that continuously monitors patient conditions to enhance patient care in the operating room.

South Metro paramedics tested this software at Swedish Medical Center during a drill to demonstrate the efficiency of allocating operating room resources to the most severely injured patients in an emergency situation.

“RVU has gone above and beyond any reasonable expectation of good will as a community neighbor,” Ryan Shelton, South Metro training lieutenant who nominated Rocky Vista for the award, said in the release. “This is because of the belief and shared value of the importance of bringing this cutting-edge training to our local responder community to prepare for the worst.”

Battling at backgammon — that’s just how we roll QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

t is one man against one woman, without handicap or charity or concession.

There is strategy and there is luck. There is grit and there is determination.

Words are said in the heat of competition that alarm the dachshund.

It is backgammon.

It is one of the oldest board games in the world, going back 5,000 years.

It is face-to-face fun with a friend, a stranger, or a loved one. Or even a computer. Like

chess, backgammon has been researched by computer scientists. You can play backgammon against a robot.

Our set-up is a neat leather case that opens to reveal 24 triangles (points).

Each player has 15 pieces (checkers) that resemble afterdinner candies, in two colors.

Ours are chocolate and caramel.

The pieces are moved according to the roll of two dice.

We got the board out in October, and have played 133 games since.

The lead has gone back and forth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stand up for conservative principles Consider Robert Clarke’s letter to the editor expressing his dismay at Meghann Silverthorn’s appointment to the Douglas County Library Board on the basis of her “conservative principles.” Regarding his response to Alex DeWind’s Feb. 18 article “Library district’s board of trustees appoints former school board president,” first consider that he’s admittedly not a conservative. Second, he accuses Ms. Silverthorn of “destruction of the Douglas County School District.” Third, taking her appointment off the table, let’s acknowledge that Douglas County is widely considered a conservative Republican county, but that our public education system nationally and locally is regarded as liberal.

The moral of the story, i.e., Mr. Clarke’s letter, is to ban conservative principles in the public square, for example as it relates to governance of libraries, where it’s conservative principles that defend free speech and the availability of books on the list banned by the American Library Association (ALS), such as Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer.

Ask yourself, what’s wrong with conservative principles for schools when you consider the bill Democrats just passed in the House and now by a Senate committee that will require LGBTQ education for grades four through 12 for schools that teach sex education. Of course, there is no doubt Gov. Polis, who is gay, will sign it into law. So, it’s not too much of a stretch to say this is what we (conservative Douglas County) get from liberal Democrats. Teachers who don’t like pay-for-performance won’t miss Ms. Silverthorn, but parents will miss protection of individual liberties

Smith Young Parker Cartoon a very poor choice I was taken aback by and angry with the editorial cartoon in your last issue of the paper. This cartoon mischaracterizes people of faith, Trump voters and conservatives in general as those who do not care about the health and wellbeing of our citizens, painting us in the most negative light. As a conservative, I can tell you sincerely that I know of no one on either “side” of the political fence who believes or supports what is being depicted here.

I do know people who are equally concerned about the state of health care in our country. Both want the same thing: affordable health care for all. Obamacare did not do anything for those already carrying insurance. Yes, it is nice to have insurance, but we still pay out-of-pocket for most of our health care because of sky-high deductibles – that have skyrocketed since Obamacare was enacted. Having insurance has not helped the fact that we are still paying medical bills from over a year ago.

Conservatives in general don’t believe government-funded health care is the answer. We believe insurance companies should be held accountable for taking advantage of their “insured.”

We believe insurance companies should not be in the business of determining which medical solutions are most viable in lieu of the expertise of doctors, SEE LETTERS, P9

Understanding the simple truth of success

hy do we struggle with achieving success when there really is no secret to success? Is it because we have overcomplicated the thought or definition of success?

Or is it because we really just WINNING don’t know what WORDS success truly means to us?

So here is the simple and uncomplicated truth of success: it’s you.

Plain and simple, you are the secret to your own success.

Certainly there Michael Norton are others who have helped us along the way. We may have read some awesome books with incredible insights that have illuminated the path and provided direction. Many of us have attended motivational or instructional seminars and training sessions that have inspired us and given us more to think about when it comes to success. And many of us have even hired our own personal coach or business adviser to help us achieve the successes that we seek.

People, books, seminars, training, coaches and other forms of instruction and encouragement are contributing factors to our success.

I do not want to lose and neither does she. While it is fun to play, it is much more fun to win.

I play more recklessly than she does. I like to put myself in harm’s way, just to see if I can recover. Why not?

If doubles are rolled, very good things happen. (There are exceptions.) What is the probability of rolling doubles?

There have been people in your life that have proven themselves to be a difference maker in helping you become who you are today. The key word in there is “helping,” but it’s you who is the real difference maker when it comes to the achievement of success and the realization of your goals and dreams.

This is awesome news. This is wonderful news. This is incredible news. Wouldn’t you agree? I mean you are the one who is ultimately in control of your own destiny. For some of you this is empowering and inspiring. For others, it could be terrifying. For some of you this could be powerfully liberating and just the push you needed. For others, Dr. Denis Waitley’s philosophy of, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me,” can quickly go from feeling motivation to rationalizing excuses. And if that excuse alarm starts to sound, just remember Dr. Waitley’s quote, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me,” and stop those excuses as quickly as possible.

You know what the excuses sound like don’t you? “I am too busy.” “I don’t have time for this.” “This is too hard.” “I am only doing this for someone else.” “I just have to wait until I finish this other project.” “I will start after the next holiday.”

Partisan agendas don’t work on our library board

he vitriol-filled partisan tempest over the appointment of a new trustee to our Douglas County Libraries board represents just one more attempt in today’s society to turn an apolitical community institution into a controversial political football. The facts don’t match the furor, and, in my view, the commissioners made a sterling appointment ,in Meghann Silverthorn. I’m glad to have her as a colleague — but not for the reasons her critics think.

Let me share some facts. r Securing an appointment to the library board includes personal interviews by a panel of representatives from municipal government, the school board and the library board. This year, 24 individuals were interviewed over two full days to fill three vacancies — a group culled down from 40 applications.

I was part of that panel, and we asked candidates about their vision for our libraries, how libraries, learning and literacy shaped their lives and how their personal and professional experience informs their desire to serve.

Our panel forwarded three names to the commissioners for each vacancy.

Did we all agree on all of the names or on the ranking of those names? No. But we had a very strong consensus on

LETTERS FROM PAGE 8

based solely on premiums. We believe tort laws must be restructured so that litigation is not the easiest go-to. For us, government-funded health care is merely a bandage on a very sick and weak system.

I’m open to hearing other opinions as long as they are not inflammatory. It is much easier to draw nasty cartoons than have solid, fruitful discussion. I hope those on staff at the paper would agree.

Hilary Osborne Parker Bill a step for safety All of Highlands Ranch was shocked by the slaying of Deputy Zackari Parrish. Now our Legislature is considering a legal tool that could have prevented Parrish’s murder, by temporarily suspending firearms access to dangerous individuals. It is quite disconcerting that DA George Brauchler and former state Rep. Cole Wist are now opposed to the Extreme Risk Protection Orders bill. Ex parte hearings are important in order to protect the safety of petitioners and are commonly used in domestic violence and child protection cases. The emergency ERPO can last only 14 days, before the gun owner can make his case and the petitioner must show by clear and convincing evidence that the threat continues. This gives the gun owner sufficient time to resolve issues and address concerns of the court. Furthermore, an early termination of an ERPO should only be at demonstration of a return to responsible behaviors on the part of the appealing party.

This bill brings peace of mind and safety to parts of the state where high

each candidate sent on.

Here is the key point: We didn’t ask about, nor were we interested in, their partisan affiliations or their political views. Why? Because that is irrelevant to the work of a library trustee.

Sean Duffy In a time when it seems like every entity, indeed every gathering, has to have a political patina, our library board is — or at least has been — an apolitical oasis where we talk about creating opportunity for our citizens, our role in deepening a sense of community and ensuring DCL is a home of fundamental civility and decency.

Beyond our general work of governing the fiscal and operational aspects of the library system, in 2018 we focused on the transformation and updating of our Highlands Ranch branch, where I’ll be proud to cut the ribbon and welcome the community back home in just a few weeks. In 2019 we are focusing on the early stages of design for turning the well-loved Castle Rock branch into a 21st-century beacon

for the community that will serve Douglas County well for decades. These transformations are paying dividends for families and taxpayers. At our new branches in Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Pines, customer traffic is up 25 percent to 30 percent.

We do this work in the context of being strong, fiscally conservative stewards of the tax dollars entrusted to us, and providing top value for every dollar through programming, services and content. By any measure, we’re one of the top library systems in the country.

We do this work, also, without discussion of partisan affiliation or political ideology. We have fights, but they’re not left-right, or D versus R. In fact, on a personal note, as someone who has worked in public policy and politics for 30 years in two states, I wanted to join the library board precisely because we would not talk politics. The focus is on our passion for literacy, learning and libraries.

This is why I am disappointed at the level of rancor and personal attacks we’ve seen in the past few weeks.

Meghann Silverhthorn brought to her interview a compelling personal story of her family’s journey and how her success has been marked by a deep love of reading and libraries. She shared her commitment to ensure others have the opportunity she had to build a rich and rewarding life through excellent public libraries.

That’s exactly what we want, and what our county needs, in a library trustee. I am completely convinced that she will be one of the best, most passionate and most community-responsive trustees our library system has seen. And we’ll leave politics where it belongs: in great books on the shelves of our libraries.

Sean Duffy, of Highlands Ranch, is president of the Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees. The opinions expressed here are his own.

suicide and domestic violence rates are a heart-breaking problem, such as they are in Douglas County.

Amy Ross Highlands Ranch The system is not broken In response to Roy Legg, our electoral college system of vote counting is not broken. He wants to change it so that if Colorado votes for candidate X, but huge states like California vote for candidate Y, then our electoral votes would be changed to Y. This would cancel our votes to just go along with the crowd from California and other big states.

Democrats were disappointed in 2016 much like the Democrats of 1860 when Republican Lincoln won the electoral college, but only won 39.8 percent of the popular vote. Just like 1860, the Democrats want to now change the rules.

In 1992, Bill Clinton did not win the popular vote as more people voted against him than for him. He did win a plurality of the vote at 43 percent and won the presidency via the electoral college. He repeated in 1996 with only 49.2 percent of the popular vote. By contrast to 1992, Donald Trump won 46.1 percent of the popular vote in 2016.

What next, a dozen or more senators for California and only two for Colorado? Thus allowing a few big states to dictate to the rest?

We don’t elect presidents based on the national popular vote. Rather, each state independently holds its own presidential election via the electoral college.

The Founders knew that pure democracy is simply mob rule. They gave us a representative Republic to protect the rights of the minority.

Don’t throw that away.

LIFE Making time for

Basketball fans and non-fans alike come together for one of the biggest sporting events of the year

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

oug Pruitt’s glass of a dark micobrew, sweating as it rested on a coaster at the Library Co., a bar in Castle Rock, was still half full.

Arms crossed, eyes gazing upward at one of the four TVs behind the bar, Pruitt intently watched a college basketball game between Kansas and Oklahoma.

He had no rooting interest. He was studying, more or less. And looking for a distraction.

“I better get used to this,” Pruitt said, as he smiled and took another sip of beer.

Pruitt is not a big basketball fan.

But he fills out a bracket every March and will follow the games for the satisfaction of earning bragging rights over his brother.

This year, Pruitt said, he won’t hardly be away from the TV. On March 20, one day before the tip-off of the first round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Pruitt is scheduled to get a vasectomy. He and his wife, Tasha, talked about it for months. Pruitt decided if he was going to couchridden for the better part of a week, he might as well do it while there’s something worth watching.

“I honestly would probably be watching these games if I was sitting at work,” he said. “At least this way I don’t feel bad about it.”

During the first two days of the first round of March Madness on March 21 and 22, Pruitt plans to watch as many games as possible.

The 2019 broadcasting schedule has yet to be released, but last year, games ran nonstop on four different stations — CBS, TNT, TBS and TruTV — from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Pruitt isn’t alone in his dedication to watching the games. In workplaces across the country, one of the most noticeable divots in worker productivity comes during the two-week stretch in March.

Distractions at work Low worker productivity during the tournament two years ago contributed to about $6.3 billion in corporate losses nationwide, according to a 2018 report from WalletHub.com, a personal finance website, Darrin Duber-Smith, a sports marketing expert at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the massive draw to the tournament can be attributed to a number of factors. For the most part,

he said, it comes down to fans’ affinity for the sport and how they identify with universities playing in the tournament.

“Every school has a basketball program. They might not have football or lacrosse, but basketball is something that is ubiquitous,” Duber-Smith said. “It’s a culturally significant event. It happens every year and at the same time every year, and if you’re not into it, you’re going to be touched by it in some way.”

Between the men’s and women’s Division I tournaments and tournaments at other levels of competition, there will be hundreds of games played during March Madness.

“You have something for literally everybody,” Duber-Smith said.

Peter Craig, of Parker, a University of Kansas alumnus, said during March Madness he wears two hats: one as a raving Jayhawks fan, hoping his alma mater wins it all every year, and one as a fan of the bracket.

“It’s close, but I’d say my team is bigger than my bracket,” Craig said. “Every year, I always hope for a perfect bracket — everyone does — but in the end it’s just exciting to have that possibility. That’s why we love to watch sports anyway.”

MADNESS FROM PAGE 12

More than 97 million people tuned in to watch the 2018 NCAA Tournament from the First Four to the Final Four rounds, according to NCAA.com.

The American Gaming Association, a casino gaming interest group, estimated more than 40 million people participated and filled out a total of 70 million brackets in 2018.

The madness that surrounds March reaches beyond the actual games.

There’s the game within the game — bracket pools and gambling — and the upsets. Duber-Smith called it a “gambling orgy.”

But also, Duber-Smith said, the underdog mentality is something the casual fan can relate to, while the more invested fan will watch either

“I don’t think there’s anything more American than that.”

“The best part is we never know where the madness will come from,” he said.

“Most of us are underdogs,” Heath said. “When you see some of those stories, we can relate to that.”

According to WalletHub.com, 90 percent of workers say participating in a bracket pool at work builds camaraderie.

Laura Roth, of Castle Rock, said it brings her family and neighbors together.

“The kids can fill out a bracket,” Roth said, “the adults do — everyone can do this one thing.”

It’s unclear if the deer is albino or leucistic, or piebald, a recessive genetic trait found in 1 percent of deer and in all mammals. All-white deer don’t typically survive long in the wild, but are commonly found in urban areas, according to The Nature Conservancy, a nature preservation advocacy group.

SUMMER CAMP PAGES

Woodward Copper celebrating 10 years of overnight camps in Copper Mountain STAFF REPORT COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It’s a summer camp with snow, professionals, fun and a lot of memories as Woodward Copper prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary this summer.

The Cooper Mountain camp, one of the only ones in the state to have actual snow, provides campers with top-notch instruction and fun for all skill levels.

“Fortunately, our altitude allows us to offer this unique summer camp for kids,” said Taylor Prather, the public relations manager for Copper Mountain Resorts. “This camp is a great opporutnity for those kids that live and breathe snowboarding and skiing. And, we go well beyond the snow sports. We offer the great summer programs that includes skate boarding, cheerleading and a lot of programs that really cover all interest areas.”

With more than 1,000 campers a year, Prather said the 2019 camp is shaping up to be one of the best on record. Running between June and August for children from age 7 and up, there are plenty of professionals on tap to join the camp’s top-notch coaches. Some of those celebrities include: • Professinal snowboard Taylor Bingaman on June 2.

• Olympian Chris Corning will be

at the resort on June 9 through June 15. Corning has a bronze medal in snowboarding. Prather said Corning is special to the program given he was once a camper himself.

• Professional skateboard David Reyes will be at the resort starting June 16.

• Professional skier Lupe Hagearty is slated to join week 7 of the camp on July 14 The 2019 Summer Camp lineup continues between June and August, teaching children age 7 and up a variety of skills, including skateboarding, BMX, scooter, ski and snowboard. The weeklong, overnight camps are intended to set goals, fine tune skills and meet new people. Known for its indoor and outdoor training facilities, Woodward Copper’s high-alpine location allows for year-round skiing and snowboarding on real Colorado snow.

Campers will learn from certified coaches and have exclusive access to The Barn, skate parks, bike parks and Pipeline Park, a massive summer snow terrain park featuring a triple jump line, endless boxes and rail features.

5 things (BPT) - Looking for a cure for the winter blues?

Start making plans for the summer. Having something fun to look forward to - such as days off and family trips - can make those dreary days more bearable. One thing you’ll want to add to your summer planning list is finding a great summer camp or two for your kids.

Even before leaves start appearing on the trees, many organizations begin announcing dates and enrollment for summer camp sessions.

Get a jump start on the process with this guide to choosing an enriching summer activity, where your child will also have a blast.

First, know the best places to look: You may not be aware of the number of great summer day camps taking place around your community. Start with college campuses, parks and recreation departments, local school districts and churches. Be sure to tune in to nonprofits, like performing arts centers, museums and your local animal shelter or zoo. Finally, ask the other adults in your child’s life for the inside scoop. The art teacher, soccer coach and scout leader may be in the know about the best camps in town.

Look for the immersive experience: When you think about it, “camp” is an odd word choice. But look at what sleep-away camp means to kids, and it makes sense. Yes, it’s fun to sleep in a cabin and spend all day sailing, swimming and climbing. What’s key is that these kids are immersed in a new reality that’s different from the usual home

parents should know before choosing a summer camp

and school routines. So when a local organization bills an activity a “camp,” they promise an experience that lets your kid jump in and become a part of something. When choosing the right camp, look for that quality. Is there a clear theme or topic? Will kids be active and involved? Or is the “camp” just made up of a series of talks led by adults?

Make sure your child is on board: Consider your child’s interests and how camp can make them stronger.

Your play-acting child with a flair for drama will probably thrive and bloom at theater camp.

However, if camp is a strategy to help them improve at something they struggle with, make sure the program is designed for these kids, or you’re setting them up for a session of misery. After all, you wouldn’t send your sportsloathing child to, say, a high-intensity wrestling camp to make them more athletic.

Don’t forget the fun factor: What makes camp truly memorable is having fun, so make sure the camp you’re looking at takes fun seriously. For example, Blake Furlow, CEO of Bricks 4 Kidz, says kids keep coming back to their camps partly because these sessions bring building with LEGO Bricks to the next level of fun and exciting. But watching their enjoyment unfold during the camp is also massively rewarding. “See-

4

ing the kids light up, get excited and make new connections during a Bricks 4 Kidz class is a heart-warming experience,” Furlow says.

Consider longevity: When looking at various programs, a good question to ask is how long the camp has been around. New summer camp themes and programs can sound exciting and fresh, but it takes a few rounds to work out the kinks with any new organization. Choosing wellestablished programs with experienced leaders is one way to ensure that your child will get that worthwhile and fun experience with a new activity.

If you’re looking for a camp experience from a trusted provider that fosters learning in STEM subjects, look for a Bricks 4 Kidz franchise in your community. Bricks 4 Kidz is celebrating its 10th anniversary of providing fun and enrichment for kids in schools and communities across the United States and beyond! At these camps, kids get to use LEGO Bricks along with specialized LEGO Technic pieces like gears, axles and electric motors to build unique and exciting models to help kids explore engineering and architecture - while having a blast doing it.

Eliminate High-Interest Debt or Do Home Improvements with a Cash Out Refinance SPONSORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI / SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA Our debt had been growing over the years as we financed three weddings and put multiple children through college. Being able to refinance our home and pay off the high-interest credit cards was a blessing.

It not only simplified our financial lives, it saved us money! ~ KC Many homeowners are in a similar situation. When they become aware of the high interest rates they are paying on personal debt such as car loans, credit cards, and student loans the interest rates can be much greater than doing a refiKathy Muni nance of their home mortgage. The average interest rate for credit card debt at the end of 2018 was 16.71 percent while the average 30-year mortgage rate was 4.3 percent.

The average American household carries about $16,000 in credit card debt, approaching $30,000 in car loans, and many 10’s of thousands of dollars in student loans. The savings in interest can be significant. The difference between the credit card debt (16.71 percent) and the average mortgage rate in the 4 percent is over 12 percent in savings.

Doing a cash-out refi can help solve this problem of overwhelming debt. A refinance allows you to tap into the equity tied up in your home putting it to work for you.

When you refinance and access some of your money, you may use it for any purpose.

Many pay off debt, which means optimizing their finances. Others want to do upgrades to their home, take a vacation, buy an investment property or pay for a wedding. The choice is yours!

Some of our clients save $100s and even $1,000s per month restructuring their debt by refinancing.

If you are concerned that your mortgage will start over at 30-years, we have programs that offer flex terms, so you can keep your current term. We can do just about any term between 10-30 years. If you want 23, 18 or 12 years, we can do it.

If you currently have mortgage insurance, you may be able to eliminate that portion of your payment if your value has increased enough in the past few years.

Refinancing is an easy process and can have the added benefit of boosting your credit score when all is said and done. If your cards are maxed out or are higher than the recommended 30 percent usage, paying them off with proceeds from a refinance can help your credit score.

Also, if you have an FHA loan, refinancing has never been faster or easier with an FHA Streamline. You can lower your monthly mortgage payments - in some instances, even if you owe more than your home is worth. No appraisal is required, rates are low, and there is no income documentation required (W-2s and pay stubs). The benefit to you must be at least a 5 percent drop in your mortgage payment, and there are 15,

20, 25, and 30-year terms available, with Primary Residence and Non-owner Occupied properties allowed.

An FHA Streamline can lower your monthly mortgage payment as well as your interest rate. If you have not refinanced since HUD lowered the MIP in 2015, now is the time! You may also be able to refinance out of an FHA loan, if you qualify for a Conventional loan eliminating the mortgage insurance, assuming your home value has increased enough.

The VA has a streamline process to lower your rate. You can also take advantage of this rising real estate market using a VA cash out refinance with a loan up to 100% of the

current value.

Interest rates are still at historical lows, but may be set to rise soon.

Silver Leaf Mortgage is a broker, which means that we can seek out the very best options for you offered by a variety of lenders whether you are self-employed, or W2. Our loan officers have years of experience and will work closely with you to be sure that the refinance loan you select will best meet your needs.

At 92, he’s not about to slow his row

“I told the guys in the locker room that you might not agree but ultimately 20 years from now you are going to find out if we are successful or not. One game doesn’t define us.

I’m proud of them, proud of their character and I know we had some amazing guys in the locker room.”

All-State forward DeGray transferred to Woodstock Academy in Woodstock, Connecticut, but all season he kept sending tweets of encouragement to his former teammates.

Junior guard Kobe Sanders led the Wolverines in scoring in the title game with 21 points and senior Tanner Giles finished with 11 points.

In the semifinal victory over ThunderRidge on March 8, it took a halftime talk by Giles to ignite a spirited defensive effort, which sparked a rally as the Wolverines notched their third win of the season over the Grizzlies.

ean Smith has won another national and world championship.

No, I’m obviously not referring to the late legendary former North Carolina basketball coach who captured two NCAA titles with the Tar Heels, one gold medal as a coach with the U.S. Olympic team and one national crown as a player at Kansas.

The Dean Smith I am citing lives in Lone Tree OVERTIME with his wife, Priscilla, who on Feb. 24 won the national and world indoor rowing championships for his age group.

Smith will be 93 years old in June.

Jim Benton Priscilla says when the couple would to go out for dinner in the southeast — when the basketball coach was still alive — they would always get the best table. Then she would have to admit that her husband was not that Dean Smith.

But the Dean Smith from Lone Tree doesn’t take a back seat with his accomplishments.

He has a sizeable wall display with ribbons, gold medals, hammer awards and a large picture that exposes him as a world-class track, cycling and rowing athlete.

And the ribbons and medals were just the ones he has won since he turned 80.

Smith, who went to high school in Canton, Illinois, and to college at Bradley University, also in Illinois, was inducted into the Bradley Hall of Fame where he set a school record of 4:23.3 for the mile run.

“I was in high school and not good enough to play basketball,” said Smith. “Running I could do, so I started running. Coach said, ‘I want you on the team.’ I did cycling through the ages. My knees gave out when I was about 73. The doctor told me if I kept running I was going to have to have them replaced. I liked the original ones.

“So I was looking for something else and this buddy of mine found this rowing machine. I tried it and it didn’t bother my knees, so I said, ‘This is it.’ I could really compete and get serious about it.”

Two months after he started indoor rowing, he won a championship in Boston.

Wolverines lose touch in title game Chaparral defeated ThunderRidge in the semifinals

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

Top-seeded Chaparral missed a lot of shots and a chance to win the state championship.

The Wolverines made just 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts and were defeated, 61-47, by Rangeview on March 9 in the Class 5A boys state championship basketball game at the Denver Coliseum.

The setback came after a 58-46 comeback victory over ThunderRidge in a March 8 semifinal game.

“That comeback in the semifinals maybe took a little something out of us,” said Wolverines coach Tellus Truesdale. “We just didn’t hit shots against Rangeview and finish. It’s a make-or-miss game. We had more

misses than makes. They hit free throws down the stretch. That happens.”

Rangeview led by as many as 14 points and Chaparral could never get close in the second half. The Raiders outscored the Wolverines, 24-10, from the free throw line and had 25 points off the bench compared to five by Chaparral.

“I’m proud of our guys,” Truesdale said after the game as he stood next to his 11-day old son Tellus Drake and his wife Sarah. “They fought and it’s hard when you are down like that and the other team is hitting free throws. You’ve got to get some bounces to go your way and they (the Raiders) did a great job of finishing off.”

Chaparral ended the season with a 22-5 record.

“It’s disappointing because our guys deserved more,” added Truesdale. “After losing Ronnie (DeGray) a lot of guys wrote us off. Even to get here is a victory.

Lutheran teams fall short in title bid Boys, girls squads finish in Great 8

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lutheran High School boys and girls basketball teams both turned in solid performances, but their efforts to win Class 3A state titles ended March 7 in the Great 8 games played at the University of Denver gymnasium.

The boys team lost a tough battle to DSST Stapleton 59-55 and the girls lost to Pagosa Springs 46-32.

Lions boys coach Bill Brandsma said the team started last summer on working to get back to the state tournament.

“We are nothing flashy,” he said of the team. “This is just a group of guys that like being together and like playing together as a team. We knew we needed to work hard because the goal was to get back here to the state tournament.”

He said they can get out and run or set up for half-court play.

“We don’t live or die by the outside shot but we take them if they are there,” the coach said. “We are a fairly

young team but we have good senior leadership.”

Junior Preston Hicks said his team came into the game looking to win.

“We played well against a very good team,” he said. “They put together a good game plan. We thought we could overcome it but they hit some key free throws at the end. We wish them luck in the rest of the tournament.”

Coach Mark Duitsman said the girls team is young, with only two seniors on the roster. He added tthis is the first time to state for all the this year’s Lion players.

“Despite all the excitement that goes with coming to state for the first time I thought we played well, particularly since we faced a team that has been to state nine years in a row,” he said.

“This was a great experience for our girls. Since we are basically a young team I hope we can build on this trip to state so we can be back at state next year.”

The game was close early, with Pagosa Springs leading 16-10 at the end of the first period, and the Pirates widened the gap to 27-16 by halftime and went on to win 46-32. Freshman Kallie Lemon and junior Sara Lawson were the leading scored for the Lions with nine points each.

They will have direct interaction with Cosgrove and the district’s chief financial officer, Scott Smith, who are responsible for coordinating the expenditures, Ray said in an email.

“This committee will not make recommendations to the board because the voters have already approved how these funds are to be spent,” Ray said.
