MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

JON STEEN

Student of all things Africa, coffee snob About me I moved to Colorado from Minnesota three years to go to the University of Denver. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in international studies, with a regional focus on Africa.

Why Africa?

I kind of had the Western notion of history for the longest time: You go through high school and you learn about the great civilizations and everything, but they skip over Africa. It’s the curiosity of what we don’t talk about.

That’s what really sparked my interest.

I traveled to Ethiopia in 2009.

That was the first time I went to Africa, and I absolutely loved it.

I was traveling with my uncle, who was doing eye surgeries. I became very intrigued because I ran into all these historical places. So, in 2011, I went over there again. That time I went to Uganda, and then Togo and Benin in west Africa, which is way different from east Africa.

Jon Steen moved to Colorado from Minnesota. He loves coffee and studying Africa.

KYLE HARDING Comparing the states I love it here. The way I see it is Colorado has the best of everything you can have in the Midwest without the extreme weather. It’ll get hot here but it never gets humid. It’ll snow here, but it will melt away in two days.

The community of coffee I consider myself a coffee snob. What I love about coffee is the community that’s created when you have a cup of coffee.

You sit down, you talk about life. It’s not even as much about coffee, even though I’m very picky and particular. It’s more about the experience of getting to know people.

Documentary puts focus on legislative process

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Linda Newell is hoping to stay busy after leaving the state Senate behind.

Newell, termed out of office this past year after eight years representing District 26, premiered a short documentary she produced on how a bill gets made at Littleton’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on March 18.

“The Last Bill: A Senator’s Story” follows the Littleton Democrat as she navigates the state Legislature with what would be her final bill to be signed into law.

Senate Bill 16-147, dubbed “Suicide Prevention Through Zero Suicide Model,” was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 10 of last year, on the final day that the governor could sign new laws. It aims to coordinate anti-suicide efforts throughout the state and encourage health care facilities to train staff to recognize warning signs.

“My first profession was in theater and television,” the Orange County, California, native said in a questionand-answer session after one of the two screenings. “So this was kind of bringing those two worlds together.”

The 27-minute movie follows Newell

as she introduces the bill and works to get it through the Health and Human Services Committee with Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud.

The movie shows there is an art to finding common ground and getting bills through committees.

“You have to find your friends,” Lundberg says in the movie.

One theme of the movie is that many Colorado residents are not aware of the work being done in the Legislature, something Newell hopes to change in her post-Senate career.

Newell’s daughter, Brittany Wolfe, served as an executive producer on the film.

“My goal with this project was civic engagement,” Wolfe said.

“The Last Bill: A Senator’s Story” was directed by Aaron Koehler and edited by Matt Baxter through their company, Indie Denver Media Productions. Koehler said that he learned a lot about the legislative process while making the movie.

“I’m really proud of the end result,” he said.

Newell plans to make more short documentaries in the future to educate people on political topics. She hopes to pair them with printed curriculum guides for use in schools.

AllHealth Network names new CEO STAFF REPORT

AllHealth Network announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer on March 15.

William Hendricks, who will also serve on AllHealth’s board of directors, succeeds Joan DiMaria, who retired last fall.

“I am honored and excited to be joining an organization that has been at the forefront of mental illness and substance abuse treatment in Colorado for more than 60 years,” Hendricks said.

AllHealth Network, formerly Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, provides behavioral health services in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Hendricks was chosen following a

nationwide search. He has worked in behavioral healthcare as both a psychologist and an administrator for more than 25 years, most recently as vice president and chief operations officer at Seton Shoal Creek Behavioral Health Services in Austin, Texas.

“Dr. Hendricks’ expertise in behavioral healthcare and his industry leadership will help pave the way for AllHealth Network to continue to grow and persevere in an increasingly competitive and ever-evolving behavioral healthcare market,” board chair John Phillips said.

Hendricks holds a Ph.D. and master’s degree in psychology from Miami (Ohio) University and a master’s degree in business administration from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Fellowship Denver Pastor Dave Thurstone has counseled congregants on marijuana use.

Four people, four different takes on marijuana Breckenridge Brewery hosts a night of discussion on four years of legal weed

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County’s The Neighborhood Church.

Addison worries that room for civil disagreement among friends is disappearing. He wants to promote curiosity and civility.

“If you’ve come here for full answers, you’ve come to the wrong place,” he said.

A state regulator, a child psychiatrist, an anthropologist and a pastor walked into a brewery.

City Forum is meant to bring experts with divergent viewpoints together for a discussion. It hosted an event on the effects of four years of legalized marijuana at Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton on March 15.

It wasn’t really meant to be a debate.

“This is a place to redevelop common ground,” said organizer Brandon Addison of Littleton, senior pastor at

The regulator Ron Kammerzell, Colorado Department of Revenue senior director of enforcement, might loosely be defined as Colorado’s “marijuana czar,” but he doesn’t just oversee weed. Most of his career has been spent regulating casino gaming.

“There are some parallels and similarities,” he said. “But there are many things that are quite different.”

Kammerzell’s job isn’t to advocate for or inveigh against the industry,

but he did provide a brief synopsis of the recent history of marijuana in Colorado, beginning with the passage of Amendment 20 in 2000, legalizing medical marijuana, going up to the recreational market that has flourished since the 2012 passage of Amendment 64.

After a 2009 law provided a regulatory framework for medical marijuana distribution, the number of dispensaries dramatically increased.

“The joke in Denver was there were more dispensaries than there were Starbucks,” Kammerzell said.

The psychiatrist Youth addiction specialist Dr. Christian Thurstone of Denver Health hasn’t always been against legal marijuana.

“Until 2010, I was a card-carrying member of the Libertarian Party,”

he said. “I thought we shouldn’t just legalize marijuana, we should legalize all substances.”

Thurstone grew concerned about the effects of marijuana on youths, particularly after the increase in medical marijuana prescriptions, which he referred to as “de facto legalization,” and said pot is detrimental to brain development.

“I think there are some vulnerable populations that need to be protected,” he said.

Thurstone isn’t a full-on drug warrior. He said there is a spectrum between incarcerating marijuana users and absolute legalization. He is in favor of decriminalizing marijuana – not arresting people for using it but not legalizing its sale – and taking a public health approach to addiction.

Most people in Parker know Billy Bob Thornton for his roles in Hollywood blockbusters, but he and his bandmates in The Boxmasters want to change that.

The anthropologist “I love cannabis,” CU Denver professor Marty Otanez tells the crowd.

a Ph.D.” he said, citing himself as evidence that marijuana users can be productive members of society.

Otanez knows that the industry is not without its issues — he focuses on the exploitation of workers, who he says are exposed to mold, mildew and pesticides. He encourages them to assert labor rights, such as accessing health care and unionizing.

“What are they doing to live with dignity?” is a question asked in his research.

He wants transparency in the companies that are producing marijuana in the state.

“We can force the cannabis sector to be accountable,” he said.

The pastor “It turns out that many people in our church use cannabis,” said Dave Morlan, pastor at Fellowship Denver and an adjunct professor at Denver Seminary.

Morlan remembered counseling a young married couple in which the wife was concerned about her husband’s use of marijuana.

“It impacted their marriage significantly,” he said.

Morlan worries that overuse of

marijuana can lead to “amotivational syndrome” in young men, keeping them from being as successful socially or professionally as they might otherwise be.

However, he noted that most people in the audience had imbibed a different depressant that night — alcohol.

The couple he spoke of came to him before marijuana was legal in Colorado. It was easy to counsel the man not to consume illicit substances.

“The response to the use of cannabis isn’t as clear-cut anymore,” he said.

Women supporting women ‘was never a new idea’ Expectant mothers turn to doulas for better birth experiences

BY THE NUMBERS A 2011 study from the nonprofit National Partnership for Women & Families shows the impact doulas can make in the delivery room. The group’s findings show that women who used a doula were:

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes it’s easier for a doula to describe what she isn’t than to define what she is.

“I’m your support person, I’m not a doctor. I’m not your husband,” Denise Grovo, a doula in training, tells her first client, Centennial attorney Lauren da Cunha. “I can’t prescribe medication. I can’t catch the baby.”

Grovo, of Parker, takes diligent notes, creating a birth plan — a list of the things da Cunha wants and doesn’t want — for the delivery of her first child, due in June.

She writes down how long da Cunha wants to wait before cutting the umbilical cord and how soon the baby will be brought to her for skin-to-skin contact.

She reminds da Cunha that doctors will make the ultimate decision about using an epidural or performing a cesarean section, but she’ll make sure it’s necessary before they go forward.

Her place is beside da Cunha, not between her and her doctors.

“I’m there for as long as you need me to be,” Grovo says, to offer massages, counseling and whatever else she can do to make the delivery go smoothly. Her overnight bag is always at the ready.

The doula — a Greek word meaning “women’s servant” — is becoming more popular as emerging research shows the benefits of supporting mothers throughout labor and childbirth. Data from Doulas of North America International, one of several doula certification organizations, show approximately 94 doulas in Colorado from their program alone.

Doulas offer expectant mothers information, emotional support and in some cases, postpartum and breastfeeding care. Most importantly, they have the experience of someone who knows what to expect in a delivery room.

That experience is what attracted da Cunha. It’s her first baby, and she and her husband aren’t sure what to expect.

“If there are people out there who have that experience and I can draw

• 28 percent less likely to have a cesarean section • 31 percent less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to induce labor • 34 percent less likely to say they had a negative childbirth experience • 9 percent less likely to use pain medication

Denise Grovo, left, recuperates as her doula, Sarah Lopez, center, stands beside V. Miller and her new baby, whom Grovo carried as a surrogate. Grovo paid for half of Lopez’s doula services out-of-pocket to have her there to help when needed.

COURTESY PHOTO from it, why wouldn’t I?” she says.

“That sense of the unknown will be less if I’ll be able to turn to someone and say `what is going on?’ I think it will be helpful to have that peace of mind.”

The most recent numbers seem to validate da Cunha’s hope.

A 2011 study by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other women’s health groups show mothers who use doulas spend less time in labor, use pain medication such as epidurals less often, have fewer cesarean sections and are significantly less likely to report a negative birthing experience.

“It was never a new idea,” says Penny Lyon, a trainer with DONA. “It goes back to Biblical times.”

A movement began in the United States in the 1970s to improve support for women as studies showed women were less fearful if they had someone to take care of them during labor, Lyons says.

“We were just women supporting women having babies,” she says. “I think we were called hippies at that time.”

Sarah Lopez volunteers for Denver Health’s volunteer doula program as well as owning her own practice. She’s helped more than a dozen women deliver babies, including Grovo. Like Lyon, she sees acceptance of doulas coming full circle.

“There was this time when the Denise Grovo, standing, explains different massage techniques she may use to help her client, Lauren da Cunha, deal with labor pain. Doulas like Grovo routinely use massage, aromatherapy, guided exercise and other techniques to help mothers in childbirth deal with the pain and stress of childbrirth. TOM SKELLEY

whole village labored together,” she says. “Now we’re circling back to that.”

After having her first child without the aid of a doula, Grovo says her second delivery was more relaxed. She, her husband and Lopez laid out a plan long before her labor pains started, leaving her fewer decisions to make on the spot.

“It’s just too much,” she says. “It was

A 2016 study by maternal advocacy groups Choices in Childbirth and Childbirth Connections concluded that the reduction in cesarean births from doula care could save Medicaid at least $646 million per year, and private insurers around $1.73 billion annually.

nice to tell Sarah (what we wanted) and then go and relax and let my body do the work.”

Now, Grovo hopes to provide that same peace of mind for da Cunha.

She’ll deal with the details so da Cunha can focus on what she needs to do.

“You’re running a marathon,” Grovo says. “You don’t need to be worrying about those other things.”

Options wins marijuana-awareness award Middle school students took part in a number of challenges

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Options Middle School in Littleton joined three other middle schools around the state in receiving a $10,000 award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for students’ involvement in various challenges to inspire kids to stay away from marijuana.

Options was one of 62 schools to take part in the state’s Protect What’s Next Challenge last month, with students recording themselves undertaking small challenges.

Eighth-grader Antonio Petoia’s favorite challenge was making full-court basketball shots.

“I feel like this was a great experience for our school,” he said.

The top schools in each of four size categories won by having the highest percentage of participation. Options students completed more than 850 challenges — an average of more than 20 per student — to beat out the 13 other schools with fewer than 250 students.

Options Secondary Program is designed to “meet the needs of unique

Options Middle School in Littleton was awarded $10,000 from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on March 13 for having a high participation rate in the state’s Protect What’s Next challenge, a program started to discourage marijuana use among teens. Pictured from left to right are teacher Carol Motley, student Derk Olivas, principal Ashley Broer, students Brandon Bickford and Antonio Petoia and teacher Heather Cotham.

KYLE HARDING learners by providing a variety of approaches and activities,” according to Littleton Public Schools. Fewer than 40 students are in the middle school program.

The other winning schools are Vineland Middle School in Pueblo for schools with 250 to 499 students, Vikan Middle School in Brighton for schools with 500 to 749 students and Prairie

Heights Middle School in Evans for schools with 750 or more students.

“It’s huge,” Principal Ashley Broer said of Options’ win. “It was a community effort — it was really, really fun.”

All Options students took part in challenges throughout February.

Protect What’s Next Challenge is designed to show kids that using marijuana can stand in their way, said Tara

Dunn of the department of public health and environment.

“The idea is that youth have goals, and retail marijuana can get in the way of those goals,” she said.

The school is considering putting the money toward the purchase of a small bus for field trips, Broer said.

“We do a lot of adventure experiential learning with our kids,” she said.

Construction defects bill goes to ‘kill committee’ At South Metro Chamber panel, reform advocates bemoan lack of progress

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From left to right, real estate developer Buz Koelbel, Rep. Cole Wist, Sen. Angela Williams and Sen. Jack Tate discuss efforts to reform construction defects laws at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on March 15. Not pictured are Home Ownership Opportunity Alliance Chair Mike Kopp, Rep. Alec Garnett and Ted Leighty of the Colorado Association of Realtors.

KYLE HARDING Advocates of construction defect reform say the status quo is preventing the building of affordablypriced condominiums in the state due to the threat of costly lawsuits.

Wist, a sponsor of SB 156 and several other similar efforts, said he believes the bill could have passed in the Democrat-majority house.

“There’s a reason why bills go to kill committees,” he said. “It’s because leadership does not want them to see the light of day.”

Democrats control the House, while Republicans are the majority in the Senate.

“We need condominiums built in our state,” Williams said, referring to them as a gap between apartments and single-family homes.

“And there’s many reasons why they’re not being built.”

Williams voted against SB 156, but has supported other construction defect reform legislation this session, including co-sponsoring SB 045. The bill, still under consideration in the Senate, would require courts hearing defect lawsuits in which more than one insurer has a duty to defend a party to apportion the cost of defense among all of them. Williams said reforming insurance laws could draw insurers that have left Colorado back into the market.

Condos are more likely to lead to construction defect lawsuits because homeowners have standing to sue that renters lack. But Kopp, a former Republican state senator and the chair of the pro-reform group Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, said apartments around the region, presumably built by the same companies that would build condos, are built to a high standard.

“Builders have somehow found a way to build apartments that don’t fall over and kill people,” he said.

Wist, a lawyer, blames lawyers for the lack of change to construction defect laws.

“Lawyers are opposed to this reform because they are making a lot of money,” he said.

Garnett, who introduced the compromise bill, has high hopes for it.

“This bill will establish a fair and balanced process for all homeowners and will establish confidence in the marketplace for developers to break ground,” he said in a statement after it was introduced.

BUSINESS

A construction defects reform bill that lawmakers had high hopes for is likely headed for defeat in the state House of Representatives after being assigned to the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on March 14.

Senate Bill 156, introduced last month and passed by the Senate earlier this month, would have required homeowner associations to obtain the written consent of a majority of owners in the association before filing a defects lawsuit, as well as disclose the projected cost of the claim and enter into third-party arbitration.

However, state legislators introduced a compromise bill, House Bill 1279, in the house on March 17 that would require majority consent of HOA members and disclosure of cost estimates, but does not have the arbitration requirements.

Denver real estate developer Buz Koelbel expressed dismay at the state of SB-156 during a Business Leaders for Responsible Government forum at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial on March 15.

“I’m disgusted,” Koelbel said, referring to the assignment as a “kill committee.”

While SB-156 has drawn support from mayors around the metro area, it was opposed by the group Build Our Homes Right, which said it would shift private arbitration costs onto homeowners.

Koelbel joined several state lawmakers on the panel: Sen. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver, Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, and Rep. Alec Garnett, D-Denver.

Homeownership Opportunity Alliance Chair Mike Kopp and Ted Leighty of the Colorado Association of Realtors also joined the panel to discuss the variety of construction defects reforms introduced in the Legislature this session.

Castle Rock man faces weed trafficking charges Illegal grows sent marijuana across state lines, officials say

INDICTMENT NAMES 16 PEOPLE

Bill that would limit home pot growth advances in Legislature

The following people were indicted following a months-long investigation into an enterprise that allegedly operated illegal marijuana grows and transported pot across state lines:

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Castle Rock man has been arrested and named in an indictment that alleges he was a leader of a large-scale marijuana-trafficking ring that transported pot illegally grown at multiple locations on the Front Range across state lines.

The multi-jurisdictional investigation culminated in raids on 19 locations throughout the Denver metro area on March 16, bringing 15 people into custody, including Michael Stonehouse, 53, of Castle Rock. The indictment describes Stonehouse, who is being held on $1 million bond, as leading an enterprise that distributed marijuana to Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.

The 37-page document says most of the pot that was distributed was illegally grown in warehouses or farms in Elizabeth, Denver and Colorado Springs. While it is lawful to grow limited amounts of marijuana in Colorado, the quantities grown at the locations were more than legally permitted, authorities say, and it is illegal to transport pot out of state.

Raids took place in Denver, El Paso, Douglas, Elbert and Arapahoe counties.

One suspect remains at large, although he is not in the state of Colorado, said 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler.

Approximately 200 local, state and federal law enforcement officers carried out the operation, effectively shutting down a ring that allegedly produced more than 300 pounds of marijuana a month, according to officials.

“They accomplished this in large part through a network of folks who used

cell phones, coded language, all sorts of information like that to try to defeat the system,” Brauchler said in a news conference March 17.

Stonehouse faces more than a dozen felony charges, including participating in organized crime, conspiracy to distribute 50 pounds or more of marijuana, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The criminal acts date to March 2014, and the most recent one occurred early this month, Brauchler said.

Drug exchanges were carried out in in highly populated areas and during broad daylight, Brauchler said. According to the indictment, that included a Starbucks parking lot in Castle Pines.

The investigation began after 845 plants — worth $5.1 million and weighing 2,500 pounds — were seized in September 2016 from a property in Elizabeth on County Road 13 owned

by Stonehouse, the indictment says.

That generated numerous leads, which opened the broader investigation, Brauchler said.

During the March 16 raids, law enforcement seized 39 weapons, including handguns, shotguns and rifles. Brauchler was not aware of any officers being injured while making arrests.

Warrants were also issued to seven banks for 22 different accounts.

Also during the raids, law enforcement discovered two hash-oil extraction labs, one in Elbert County and one in Denver.

Between 2014 and 2016, Stonehouse received more than $1 million in cash deposits into accounts he controlled, according to the indictment.

Barbara Roach, a Denver-based special agent in charge with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the trafficking ring, and others like it, are motivated to circumvent the legal system for financial gain — and they endanger communities in the process.

“Yes, marijuana is being grown in Colorado for the specific goal of being sold and distributed outside of the state,” Roach said at the March 17 news conference.

Steve Johnson, chief deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, said criminal enterprises like the one mentioned in the indictment rarely follow laws or building codes, hijacking water, electrical and chemical resources.

“Without flinching, we’re going to take these on,” he said, “and fight to protect our communities.”

Teen gets 12 years in prison for fatal crash Taden Jones pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide while under the influence

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While being led out of an Arapahoe County courtroom in handcuffs, Taden Jones looked back at his mother, whose hand he had held before entering the courtroom. Both had tears in their eyes.

Nearly a year after killing two women in a car crash in Centennial while he was drunk, Jones was sentenced to 12 years in prison on March 13.

In January, he pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide while under the influence.

Jones, 19, was sentenced by Judge Phillip L. Douglass to six years in prison on each count, to be served consecutively, followed by five years of parole.

“There are no excuses,” Jones said to the judge moments before he was sentenced. “Whatever happens here, whatever you give me for my sentence, will not make up for the loss of these families. Regardless of what the sentence is, I will spend my life becoming a better person.”

On April 1 of last year, Jones, then 18, was driving an Acura sedan that

crashed into the vehicle driven by Audrey Burton, 77, near the intersection of South Colorado Boulevard and East Peakview Circle. Burton and her passenger, Gayle Brown Buckwalter, 82, died. Evidence would show that Jones was speeding, had been drinking alcohol and was under the influence of marijuana and Jones other drugs.

Seven family members, friends and drug councilors spoke on Jones’ behalf at the sentencing, and seven family members spoke on behalf of the deceased women. After the sentencing, Bill Buckwalter, son of one of the victims, hugged Jones’ mother, Vanessa Conner, both crying.

“I was really bitter and angry at times through this year,” Buckwalter said. “You had to be there. You had to get through the process and see (Jones’) family and their pain. I can’t take this with me through my life.

I don’t want to have this cancer of blame. It is just going to eat me alive.

I am going to let it go, so that is what I am doing — I am forgiving.”

Prosecutor Rory Devlin, a deputy district attorney, had sought a 20-year prison sentence for Jones.

“Every element here is governed by choice,” Devlin told the judge at the sentencing. “Today, (Jones) needs to become accountable not just to

‘I don’t want to have this cancer of blame.

It is just going to eat me alive. I am going to let it go, so that is what I am doing — I am forgiving.’

himself or to the victims, but to all of us.”

Jones’ attorney, Suzanne Rogers, had asked for a community corrections sentence.

“I would rather have seen him get community corrections to get more opportunities that he won’t have in the department of corrections, but he is strong,” Rogers said after the sentencing. “He is taking this very hard and very seriously. He is pretty resolved on changing his life as a result of this.”

According to the arrest affidavit, Jones, a 2015 Arapahoe High School graduate, admitted to having three beers before the crash. Jones was also found to be in possession of a fake South Carolina driver’s license that

said he was 23.

Blood samples were taken from Jones shortly after the crash. A report from the lab responsible for the blood testing estimated Jones’ blood alcohol content at the time of the crash was 0.10 — the legal limit for drivers 21 and older is 0.08, while it is 0.02 for those under 21. Jones also tested positive for the use of marijuana, cocaine and alprazolam, a prescription sedative used to treat anxiety that is commonly known as Xanax.

“I don’t know why God saw fit to spare me,” Jones said at his sentencing. “It’s all my fault. I do know that I owe it to God, to my family and to the families of the victims to be the best that I can.”

Actually, let your babies grow up to be cowboys — or anything else they want WINNING WORDS

W

ell maybe Willie Nelson said it slightly differently: “Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / Don’t let ‘em pick guitars or drive them old trucks / Let ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such / Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / ‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone / Even with someone they love.”

I heard Willie’s song the other day and I reflected on what my answer might have been when I was asked the question all children are asked at some point, “What is it you want to be when you grow up?” The question might come from a teacher or a parent or grandparent, but at some point, we are all asked the question.

There are some statistics that point to the fact that approximately 30 percent of people end up working in careers they dreamed of as children. So what happens to the other 70 percent of us? Maybe our dreams and desires changed as we matured or went through school and found other interests. Maybe when we graduated there were no job openings in our field or in the area where we lived, so we were forced to find other work. In some cases, even for some of us well into the latter part of our careers, we never quite knew what we really wanted to be or do.

I don’t remember exactly what my answers were when I was a young boy and was asked what I wanted to be, but somewhere I do

remember seeing myself following in the footsteps of my grandfather. But what I do remember is the feeling I had when I was already well into my own career and asking my own children what they wanted to be when they grew up. And I remember their answers.

I loved to ask them the question over and over again and as they aged their answers did change, but their dreams did not, and that is the point.

I believe our responsibility to our children, our nieces and nephews, grandchildren or people we mentor at any level is to help them learn to dream and help give them guidance SEE NORTON, P13

f you believe in dog years, Smitty is 13 going on 91.

I believe in dog ears.

If you have ever taken a long look (he said) at a dachshund, you know that they have long, hanging ears.

What’s that for?

It’s not a genetic whim.

My son was bred to hunt underground animals, by digging into their burrows. Long ears keep the flying dirt out of their ear canals.

Smitty doesn’t know anything about this.

He is not a hunter, unless there is such a thing as hunting for naps.

Dachshunds are teased in films, commercials, cartoons, and endlessly in person. We don’t stand for it.

It’s bullying. Try bullying a pit bull instead. See where that gets you.

You might be amused by a dachshund in a foam rubber hot dog bun with foam rubber mustard, but not us.

when they identified that the size and value of stocks are good factors to apply to investing. You may have heard the term “Smart Beta,” which is largely built on the factor-based concept and has grown in popularity recently. Concepts like these only seem to come out of the woodwork when investors are searching for something more enticing than their normal allocation. There is no assurance that factor-based investing will work better than anything else, but the historical statistics are com. pelling and worth a look.

The concept is that you can garner better diversification across domestic equities by selecting certain factors found to drive returns. Factorbased investing is mainly focused on equities and may not give you much exposure to traditional diversification that may also include bonds and commodities. Because different factors can be in and out of favor at different times, you have lower correlations within the portfolio. This is where the diversification benefits come into play.

For example, for the value factor, you would select stocks based on metrics like price-to-earnings and price-to-book alone. Then by adding a tilt toward smaller-sized companies, you gain exposure to the size factor. Adding another group of stocks based on price momentum

makes anything sound better. I’d like to hear him sing this column.

“Nature Boy” starts out, “There was a boy, a very strange, enchanted boy.”

I don’t think Smitty is particularly strange or enchanted.

However, the song continues, “Then one day, a magic day, he passed my way.”

It was a magic day when we met.

Badger, also a dachshund, had just died.

Smitty and I made eye contact at the shelter. He nodded, I nodded, and I took him home.

According to a Department of Agriculture report, it costs $233,610 to raise a child from birth through 17 (therefore, not including college).

Owning a dog is somewhat less expensive, but it’s not cheap.

Smitty’s sticker price was just $135.00. A bargain.

sings, as long as that is what fulfills their own goals and dreams.

Here’s the other point. We see more and more that our children are being raised in an era of social media and are receiving input from many sources with a variety of views.

Without proper guidance, social input and influence could either work to shape the future of our children or rob the true passions of our children.

It is so important that we make sure

to counter balance the social input with good questioning and listening skills so that we can give them the very best chance at becoming and/or doing whatever it is they would like to do. We are not flying the airplane nor landing it for them, we are just providing some navigation along the way.

So how about you? How about the young people in your own life? Do they have hopes and dreams of what

they would like to be one day? I would love to hear those stories at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can help someone else become all it is that they want to be, it really will be a better than good week.

and yet another on low volatility or risk and you have a portfolio exposed to four factors, all with different attributes. The momentum stocks will generally take advantage of stocks performing well in growth cycles. The low-risk stocks will tend to be more defensive. Usually smallcompany stocks behave very differently than large companies and undervalued stocks appear to have more upside potential.

Now you need to add the discipline. Nothing works quite like rules when you are investing other people’s money. It is extremely important to monitor and adjust the portfolio as these stocks shift in price, size, momentum and risk.

This is not a buy-and-hold strategy but rather an active process that needs to engage the investor to act quickly and without emotion when the numbers call for a shift. It is best if IRA assets are used in this strategy to avoid the tax complications associated with short-term changes to the portfolio.

Factor-based investing is not for everyone, and it is certainly not for all of your assets. It appears to benefit from active management on top of your core allocation that is designed to meet your goals. This type of approach incorporates a more concentrated portfolio which may debunk some old myths about seeking portfolios that hug a benchmark, or the more holdings, the better. Adding more stocks to a portfolio does not necessarily improve diversification. And our research

has shown that consistent outperformance is closely tied to a rules-based process where the portfolios look quite different from a benchmark.

Benchmarking does not leave much room for risk mitigation or variety.

There are options beyond traditional asset allocation. Consult your advisor to see if factor-based investing might be right for a portion of your portfolio.

State enters budget season with big health questions Unknowns surround money that Colorado gets for Medicaid

BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado officials are scrambling to figure out what may happen to the $5 billion or so the state gets from the federal government each year to cover Medicaid.

A proposed health care overhaul moving through Congress would have dramatic effects in Colorado, which was one of 31 states to make it easier to qualify for Medicaid, government-covered health insurance for the needy.

Colorado now has some 1.3 million people on Medicaid, nearly double the amount of patients covered before the federal government offered to pick up the tab for adding more folks to the plan.

That federal money was always intended to taper off, but a bill pending in the U.S. House would cut that support much sooner. That enhanced federal match for Medicaid expansion enrollees would be cut from 90 percent to about 65.5 percent in 2020. Colorado would have to spend about $1 billion a year make up the difference, or else kick

‘There are a lot of details that are yet to be ironed out ... It’s still very early in the game to have specific numbers about what will change.’

Marc Williams, spokesman for Colorado’s agency that administers Medicaid patients out of the program.

Colorado politicians from both the left and the right say the prospect of declining federal Medicaid support demands immediate action. But they have vastly different ideas about what to do.

Democrats say the Obamacare replacement must be stopped or changed to ensure that people don’t lose coverage. Republicans say Colorado needs to start trimming Medicaid costs now and consider dismantling its health insurance exchange.

As Colorado lawmakers start considering next year’s budget in coming weeks, health care uncer-

NEWLY UPGRADED CAR WASH!

tainty may dominate debate. Though the spending plan doesn’t yet make significant changes to account for federal health care cuts, expect a lot of arguing over whether it should.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Democrats ruling the state House don’t want to see deep cuts before knowing exactly how many dollars are going away.

Even a lightning-fast adoption of the federal health care overhaul likely wouldn’t require drastic Colorado spending changes before the summer of 2018, when the next Colorado budget expires.

“There are a lot of details that are yet to be ironed out,” said Marc Williams, spokesman for Colorado’s agency that administers Medicaid.

“It’s still very early in the game to have specific numbers about what will change.”

But that’s not sitting well with conservatives who have argued for years that Colorado is headed for serious budget problems if it doesn’t trim health care spending.

“It’s not the right economic model to put laws into place that hold the line,” said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, a Republican who sits on the powerful

NEWLY UPGRADED CAR WASH!

budget-writing committee. “Costs are out of control and they’re just going to go up and up and up.”

One Republican idea: Get rid of the state health insurance exchange, called Connect For Health Colorado.

Republicans say the change could save Colorado some $40 million a year, with health insurance shoppers simply using federal or privatesector resources to buy health insurance.

But the proposal to dismantle the exchange faces almost certain doom in the House, where ruling Democrats consider it a premature broadside on Obamacare.

Outside the state Capitol, health care analysts are gearing up for a long fight over Colorado’s plans to prepare for health care changes coming from Washington.

“The cuts would be so dramatic they would really taint state budgets,” said Adam Fox of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, a Denver-based nonprofit that supports the current health care law.

For now, Fox said, there’s not much states can do to be ready for drastic federal changes.

“There’s really very little state budget writers can do to accommodate any of these cuts,” Fox said.

Obamacare critics disagree.

Linda Gorman, a health policy analyst for the Independence Institute, a Libertarian think tank in Denver, argues that Colorado should start planning now for reduced federal health care spending.

“Colorado’s Medicaid program isn’t sustainable even at the current level, not without substantial tax increases,” Gorman said.

But she’s not optimistic that Colorado’s divided Legislature will settle their health care differences this year.

“I think `heads in sand’ is the way people would rather deal with this,” she said.

Building a road map to blended learning

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Staff from the Keystone Policy Center came away from the first meeting on the best way to increase blended learning opportunities — using a digital component for some or all of the instruction — with good and bad news.

The good news — there is definite support for providing access to blended learning, which is an education program where a student uses digital content and traditional learning at a school, all under the help of a teacher.

The bad is there is no clear path to bringing everyone on board to supporting this approach, or how to ensure schools and teachers have the proper resources to make the approach work for students.

“The focus on personalized learning is great, but there’s

and takes about 4 to 8 minutes to complete.

The survey will close on April 30,

For more information on the project, visit www.colorado.gov/cel.

not a lot of time to teach that to our teachers,” said Jeremy Felker, director of Jefferson County’s instructional data reporting department. “How do we provide the resources and time to support our students?”

The March 8 meeting at the Lakewood Library was the first in a series supported by Colorado Empowered Learning, a state program working to enhance education through blended learning, to be held throughout the state with education leaders and stakeholders to provide a road map for implementation of the approach.

“The objective of this and the other meetings we’re holding is to gain perspectives on opportunities, gaps and challenges when it comes to blended learning,” said Julie Shapiro, senior policy director with Keystone. “It’s not just about blended learning, but how it contributes to the state’s educational offerings.”

The meetings are a result of House Bill 16-1222, which was passed during last year’s legislative session and commissioned the creation of a blended learning road map.

The map will focus on expanding the availability of supple-

mental education courses and blended learning as well as increasing enrollment in alternative education options that are effective and inexpensive.

The first third of the meeting involved questions for the dozen attendees, who came from all over the metro area.

Questions centered on equality in learning, barriers to blended learning and priorities for schools. The open discussion made up the bulk of the meeting, which allowed attendees to share their experiences and challenges taking a blended learning approach.

“Blended Learning has to be part of the vision for the future,” said Cathy Baune, assistant principal at the Jefferson County Virtual Academy. “But in so many ways our schools are still stuck in the 1800s approach.”

Other attendees spoke about a lack of willingness from

teachers and schools as a whole to provide this blended approach, and the fact that teachers don’t have to time to learn the technology, a new style of teaching and curriculum requirements.

“It’s important we as educators understand where the state wants to go,” Felker said.

“There are a lot of requirements that have to be reconciled, but it’s encouraging the state wants to solve some of these problems.”

Staff from Keystone will take the feedback from this and other meetings planned across the state, and attempt to craft the state’s new digital learning plan by June or July.

“We’ve found it takes a little while for students to understand the blended approach,” said Cheryl Mosier, a teacher at Columbine High School.

“But once they understand it and the benefits, they love it.”

LIFE A family business affair

March 23, 2017M

Three area couples who work together share their secrets

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or Mark Albrecht, the key to running a business with his wife on a daily basis is for each to know their strengths and weaknesses.

“One of the things that I think is critical is to allow the other to lead in their sweet spot, what they’re good at,” he said.

Kim, for instance, is exceptional at social media. Mark focuses on longrange planning issues.

“I like to think and look ahead and plan ahead,” he said.

The Albrechts own Cream City Market, which they run out of their Littleton home. The business revolves around selling a regional delicacy from their home state of Wisconsin — cheese curds — the solid parts of curdled milk.

Before starting Cream City Market, Mark worked in industrial sales and Kim worked at a music conservatory.

But they’re not alone in going into business together. Small business researcher Glenn Muske of North Dakota State University has estimated that around one in 10 households owns a family-run business.

Jeremy and Katherine Yurek of Wheat Ridge also started a home-based business together. Katherine agrees with Mark Albrecht that letting each partner focus on what they’re good at is key.

“He’s way more organized than I am,” she says of her husband, Jeremy, her business partner at Baba and Pop’s Pierogi. While he handles buying supplies and most of the production of their products, she concentrates on online sales, marketing, press and booking events.

Baba and Pop’s, started as a food truck by Jeremy five years ago, is based around recipes for pierogi, filled Eastern European dumplings, handed down by his Polish immigrant greatgrandparents. The name, Baba and Pop’s, pays homage to them. The business has since expanded into online sales.

“It was his idea that you couldn’t really find great pierogi in Denver,” Katharine said.

Gwen and Patrick McCarroll, who own Java Jam Cafe, Restaurant and Guitar Bar at the Lincoln RTD Station in Lone Tree, also split up the work. Gwen handles the front-of-house operations, with Patrick taking the back-of-house duties as well as keeping the books.

But for the McCarrolls, the best advice is to get help.

“Don’t try to do everything yourself like we do,” Patrick said. “Because

Gwen and Patrick McCarroll own Java Jam Cafe, Restaurant and Guitar Bar in Lone Tree. Their advice for couples going into business together is to hire help.

TIPS FOR FAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES Careerbuilder.com has some advice for families considering going into business together: Put everything in writing Spelling things out from the start prevents misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and fights because the written documents serve as a point of reference. Details include what each person’s specific tasks and responsibilities are, how decisions are made, how compensation will be determined and what the business’ long-term goals and succession plan are.

Treat people fairly When it comes to managing family members, small business leaders often fall prey to extremes. They may fail to hold their relatives to the same high standards as other employees, or they may push too hard and be overly

critical. Either scenario sets the stage for resentment and discord.

Prioritize communication While frequent, prompt communication should be a priority at any small company, it is especially vital at a family business. Undiscussed problems run the risk of causing damage both in and out of the office.

Leave work at the office Don’t let your small business get in the way of enjoying time with loved ones outside the workplace. Constantly “talking shop” takes away from nurturing other aspects of your relationship. Try a no-business-atthe-dinner-table rule, cheer on a beloved baseball team together, or simply catch a movie that makes you both laugh. And don’t forget to give each other space.

you’re going to get tired.”

Java Jam has several employees, but Patrick said he and Gwen are almost always there.

Java Jam combines a coffee shop, a bar and a small music venue, and the McCarrolls play in their own duo, Power of Two. “We wanted to have a place where musicians could come and play,” Gwen said.

The McCarrolls had been in business together before opening Java Jam three years ago. They owned a construction company, and Gwen had the previous experience of helping run a coffee shop in Syracuse, New York.

Having a relationship that is already on solid ground is essential for running a family business, Kim Albrecht said.

“The same things that apply to your personal relationship can translate into a business relationship,” she said.

“And that can be good or bad.”

Mark and Kim Albrecht of Littleton own Cream City Market. Their advice to couples going into business together is to let each other specialize in what they are good at.

Katherine Yurek said she and Jeremy sometimes butt heads when setting goals for the business.

“We argue and we bicker,” she said, “but we easily get over it.”

Running a business means that couples will spend a lot of time together. The McCarrolls, who live across the street from Java Jam, spend nearly every moment together.

The Albrechts spent a lot of time together even before they started Cream City Market. They share hobbies and have the same group of friends.

“That set us up to succeed with this,” Mark said.

Being together is part of the appeal to Katharine Yurek. Before moving back to the Denver area from Nashville, Tennessee, Jeremy worked in the music industry. Katharine joined the business later after growing unhappy in her accounting career.

“We saw each other only at night,”

CONTACT INFORMATION Cream City Market www.creamcitymarket.com Baba & Pops Pierogi www.babaandpops.com Java Jam Cafe, Restaurant & Guitar Bar www.javajamcafe.com she said. “Now we get to see each other all the time.”

Though each couple acknowledges challenges in their businesses, it’s still what they want to be doing.

“We knew it was going to be hard,” Patrick McCarroll said. “But we both had the same idea of what we want to have happen here.”

For the Albrechts, the business allows them to chase their passion.

“We love food,” Kim said. “So the fact that we sell a food product is fun.”

Painters Tracy Haines, Tracy Wall and Tracy Wilson will combine their artwork to present an exhibit called “Les Trois Tracys” at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery from March 28 to May 16. Meet the trio at an artists’ reception planned for April 7 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (“The Robber Bridegroom” runs through April 30).

Tracy Haines, who lives and has a home studio in Littleton, paints colorful regional landscapes in an expressionist style. She works in oils, acrylics and pastels. Her works “celebrate the richness of life.” For this show she says she will exhibit scenes painted in and around the Littleton area. Some were painted en plein air (outdoors in one sitting). In the past year, she participated in a project for an anti-sextrafficking charity, auctioning off 30 paintings in 30 days and donating half the proceeds to the charity.

She starts with “a large brush or palette knife and several acrylic colors to establish a robust underpainting.”

She then slows down into composition and design — more analytical thinking.

Tracy Wall has lived in Colorado since 1981 and says she “likes to shed new light on everyday life, inviting the viewer to see the familiar as if for the very first time … Appealing compositions are everywhere and they make strong impressions from afar even before the subject matter is recognized …”

In her personal time, Wall enjoys spending time hiking and with her animals.

Best known for her still life paintings, Tracy Wilson, who works in oil and pastel, does not limit her subject matter, exploring lighting and texture in other subjects, such as birds. She divides her time between studio painting and teaching, she writes.

She is an active member of Oil Painters of America, Art Students League of Denver, Lakewood Arts Council and Pastel Society of Colorado.

She says the play “Robber Bridegroom” reminds her of a Picasso quotation: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life,” and hopes visitors will combine the exhibit and play in a “night on the town.”

Holly circulated through the March 6 reception, talking with friends, faculty and art students.

A Golden resident, he was formerly with the Denver Post as a designer, illustrator, creative director and marketing artist — where he connected with Town Hall some years ago, designing posters and ads. He has a successful freelance business as well, including poster design, logos, magazine design, caricatures, advertising and illustration.

He has also worked for publishing firms and as a book and magazine illustrator.

For about 13 years, Wood was string master and original violinist for the internationally recognized TransSiberian Orchestra.

Wood’s passion for education has led him to take his program, ”Electrify Your Strings,” to more than 100,000 high school students in the past 17

Mountain Vista’s Darren Delaub was able to bring Wood and his Mark Wood Experience, MWE, band for a two-day rock and roll workshop with the school’s string music students and a concluding concert on April 6. (Wood’s wife and son are band members.)

Marathoning theater at the Arvada Center Three repertory shows connect in themes, characters and diversity

Same actress, different story.

Emily Van Fleet plays Cherie in “Bus Stop” and Alice in “The Drowning Girls,” both running at the Arvada Center.

Van Fleet is a member of a repertory group that has made the Arvada Center home this season.

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A lot of life is spent waiting — waiting for people to arrive or depart, for things to happen, or for answers to be made clear.

This spring at the Arvada Center, the three repertory shows all examine characters waiting — for a bus to make it through a snowstorm in Kansas, for a deadly husband to arrive, and for meaning.

“There’s this great theme we explore in all our plays this spring,” said Geoffrey Kent, an actor and director in the spring shows. “Not only waiting for something to happen, but what people do when they’re waiting.”

“Bus Stop” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through April 15. “The Drowning Girls” also runs through May 21, followed by Samuel Becket’s classic, “Waiting for Godot,” which runs April 21 through May 20.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Written by William Inge, “Bus Stop” tells the story of eight weary travelers forced to spend a night in Grace’s Diner

“The Drowning Girls” is one of three plays on the stage in the Arvada Center this season, along with “Bus Stop” and “Waiting for Godot.” All shows are being performed by a repertory group of actors.

in Kansas, because of a blizzard that has closed down the road.

In “The Drowning Girls,” written by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson and Daniela Vlaskalic, based on true events, three women take back their voices and stories after being killed by the same twisted man.

“There are lots of plays where men play a lot of characters, but you don’t see as many with women,” said director Lynne Collins. “These women didn’t

have voices at the time of these murders, so we’re interested in showing how and why they became victims.”

And in Becket’s “Waiting for Godot,” two men are trapped in a kind of absurdist limbo as they wait for the unseen Godot to arrive.

“People may think they know this play, but many don’t know the full work,” said Sam Gregory, who is in “Bus Stop” and “Waiting for Godot.”

“It’s an absurdist piece, so there’s a lot

that’s not said, and some aspects that are really heavy, and others that just leave you laughing.”

The 2016-2017 season is the first time the Center has taken a repertory approach to its plays, which means hiring an ensemble company of actors, directors and designers who will put on all of the season’s productions. This leads to SEE THEATER, P23

THEATER FROM PAGE 21

a lot of overlap — many of the actors are in two of the plays. All three shows run on the same stage, and there is even some performance overlap between “Bus Stop” and “The Drowning Girls,” and “The Drowning Girls” and “Waiting for Godot.”

While this approach does provide challengers for directors, actors and the technical crews, it also offers an opportunity for diversity.

“I enjoy working on two shows, because if I get frustrated with one project, I’m able to step into the

other to change things up,” said Josh Robinson, who acts in both “Bus Stop and “Waiting for Godot.”

“There are times when I don’t know what we’re doing in ‘Godot,’ and that makes stepping back into ‘Bus Stop’ like putting on some really comfortable clothes.”

All three shows are small casts — “Bus Stop” has eight, “The Drowning Girls” three and “Waiting for Godot” has five. These intimate stories are the perfect fit for repertory shows, because they rely so heavily on relationships the actors have built working together.

“You’re taking the stage with people you trust, who can challenge you and keep you on your toes,” said Kate Gleason, an actress

in “Bus Stop” and “The Drowning Girls.” “They’re all diverse works, and it helps to work with people you trust.”

For the actors and creatives involved, the repertory approach is a great benefit to the audiences who see all three shows, because they get to develop a kind of familiar affection for the actors, and see their craft in different rolls.

“We all have favorite film directors or actors, and at home you can do marathons to see how multifaceted they are,” said Emily Van Fleet, who acts in “Bus Stop” and “The Drowning Girls.” “It’s so cool to provide the same opportunity to people now, one you don’t often see in theaters.”

“Bus Stop” is one of three plays on the stage in the Arvada Center this season, along with “The Drowning Girls” and “Waiting for Godot.” All shows are being performed by a repertory group of actors.

One of Kylie Andrews’ best traits is her ability to rise to the occasion.

Andrews, a junior at Heritage High School, is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmer of the Year.

“I felt like I got better when the competition got harder,” SOUTH METRO said Andrews.

ATHLETES “It was a goOF THE YEAR ing up type of process. The competition got harder and harder and stiffer and stiffer and that was helpful for me to improve.”

Andrews won two individual titles at the Class 4A state swimming championships, finishing first in the 100-yard freestyle in 50.59 and the 100 backstroke with a time of 55.67. Last season Andrews won the Class 5A state title in the 100 freestyle.

“She is always up for challenges and always working to improve,” said Heritage coach Thomas Byorick.

A week before the state meet, Andrews won two individual events and swam on two winning relay teams at the Continental League championships. She set Continental League and school records in winning the 200 freestyle in 1:49.90 and the 100 butterfly in 55.58. And, she was part of the 100 and 400yard freestyle relay teams.

“She had a very successful season with four individual team records and was a big part of two relay records,” pointed out Byorick. “She earned strong All America times in six events.

“While she is certainly a huge athletic asset for our team, she has emerged as a team leader who makes time for all of her team-

So it might be time to look at the CHSAANow.Com polls to see which area teams are featured in the March 20 rankings.

Pirates outscored by Patriots on the pitch Englewood ties score early but George Washington goes on to win

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Against George Washington on March 17, the Englewood girls soccer team quickly discovered the Patriots had an aggressive offense that repeatedly pressed the attack. Englewood did a good job stopping many of the attacks, but George Washington won, 4-1.

“We are an experienced team this season, with 11 seniors, including six girls who have been with our team since they were freshmen, plus we have some good sophomores who have stepped in for us,” Pirates coach Chris Kavinsky said. “Of course, it is early and we are still figuring some things out, but I think we will be OK and do pretty well this year.”

He said the Pirates are a balanced team with a strong group of veteran defenders, talented midfielders and forwards who can put the ball in the net. The coach said the team is working well together to make thing happen on both ends of the field.

Key moments George Washington pressed the attack and scored less than three minutes into the game. But the Pirates countered quickly as Sierra Mazur pushed the ball down the left side of the field and, near the end line, kicked the ball so it sailed over the defenders and into the net to tie the score at 1-1 with slightly less than 33 minutes left in the first half.

George Washington responded by returning to the aggressive style that produced the first goal. The Pirates played stubborn defense but the Patriots’ persistence payed off with two goals before halftime and another goal in the second half to post the win.

Coach Kavinsky told the girls after the game they played well against a very good soccer team. He said the coaches saw some good things and saw some area that the team would work on in practice next week.

Both teams played well and the score was tied 1-1 early, but GW added three goals to win the game, 4-1.

and an assist, and Mazur has two goals.

Drolshagen has been the in goal all four games and has made 27 saves.

They said it Mazur, a senior forward, said George Washington was a really good team that moved the ball around the field quickly.

“GW also plays a physical style and played a very technical style,” she said. “The coach asked us to be more physical tonight and I think that helped us with GW.” The senior said her goal came when she tried to get a crossing shot to a teammate.

“I was trying to push the ball across into the mouth of the goal so one of our players could kick or head it in,” she said. “But I got some air under it, the ball lifted over the heads of the GW defenders and goalie.

“Scoring that goal felt really good and actually it is probably the prettiest goal I have ever shot. The goal was important for us because they had just scored a goal and my goal tied the score.”

Castle View gains services of premier athlete on ice John Fulton honored as South Metro Hockey Player of the Year

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

John Fulton’s responsibility on the Castle View hockey team was different than his role when playing club hockey.

Fulton, a junior who attends Ponderosa High School, played club hockey with the Arapahoe major AA team SOUTH METRO this year and ATHLETES last season was OF THE YEAR a member of the Colorado Thunderbirds 16U AAA club.

He was more of a complementary, checking, defensive forward with his club teams but became a goal scorer when he joined the Castle View team this season to play in the Highlands Conference, which was one of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s four leagues.

Fulton was the CHSAA regular season scoring champion with 23 goals and 21 assists for 44 points.

John Fulton is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Hockey Player of the Year.

COURTESY PHOTO

In two playoff games he added two goals and an assist to wind up with 47 points for the season.

He is the 2017 Colorado Communi-

ty Media South Metro Hockey Player of the Year.

“For the Thunderbirds last year I wasn’t necessarily the guy,” said

Fulton. “I was relied on a little bit more with Castle View and I felt like I had to play a little bit better.”

Fulton adapted to his new role and during one 13-game stretch he filled the scoresheet with 22 goals and 34 points.

“I felt like I kind of started off a little slow but I picked it up halfway and finished strong,” he said. “It was a lot of fun. My line played really good and made it pretty easy to score goals.”

Castle View coach Al Quintana welcomed Fulton when he decided T to double up and play high school hockey along being on a club team.

“He was a team player and leader on the team,” said Quintana. “John is a 4.3 GPA student in school. He works hard every time he is on the ice. His is an inspiration to the younger players.

Fulton enjoyed playing for the Castle View co-op team and didn’t feel pressure in his new role.

“The more you feel like you need to improve, the worse you play,” said Fulton. “When you feel like you’re the guy that needs to make it happen, there is less pressure because you feel like you can make the plays.

“There were a lot more teams than there used to be in high school hockey and the atmosphere for hockey is a lot better. For the big games and the playoffs there were a lot of people there so it was fun to play.”

Several stand out in singlets

Most seasons there is one wrestler who stands out just a little above the rest.

This year is unusual in the south metro area since there were four individual state champions, three undefeated wrestlers and three that became two-time state champions.

So instead of a Colorado Community Media Wrestler of the Year, there are Wrestlers of the Year, four of them to be exact.

were the honored wrestlers.

Heinselman, the junior who is the InterMat No. 1 ranked high school wrestler in the country, was 44-0 this season and captured his second straight state championship at the 106-pound classification. He recently committed to wrestle at Ohio State University.

He had 27 pins last season, 12 technical falls and won 162.5 points.

Samuelson was 44-0 at 170 pounds and won the state title after finishing the runner-up at 160 pounds during the 2016 state tournament. The junior recorded 29 pins and three technical falls while earning 155 team points.

Trent Schultz won his second consecutive 195-pound state championship and ended the season with a 40-0 record. The senior is the first Vista wrestler to win a state championship.

He recorded 26 pins last season to wind up with 108 career pins. He had four technical falls and two major decisions among his 40 victories during the 2016-17 season. He scored 50 takedowns and gave up none while outscoring opponents 201-20.

Cohl Schultz was 46-1 with his only loss coming to the nation’s No. 1 ranked Chase Singletary of Blair Academy (New Jersey). The Mustang sophomore is undefeated for the past two years in Colorado and became a two-time 220-pound state champion during last month’s state tournament.

Thornton stops short of describing their sound, presenting his case

“TrustUs!” Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
