School safety training facility opens in Jeffco Center will help police train for active-shooter situations

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the day before the 18-year anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, Jefferson County Public Schools dedicated a training facility where law enforcement agencies and other first responders can prepare for active shooter situations, learn crisis prevention techniques in a real-school environment and use a simulator that offers interactive training for a variety of school threat scenarios.

The Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety, named after former Columbine High Principal Frank DeAngelis, is located at the Martensen Elementary School building, 6625 45th Place in Wheat Ridge.

Martensen opened in 1954 and closed to students in 2011. The facility now serves Jeffco Public Schools safety and security staff, local police and fire departments, other school district security departments, and has also hosted training for the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI. Seventeen agencies have booked 157 days of training at the facility for the 2016-17 school year.

“The dedication is a reminder of the importance of continuous work towards school safety and security,” said Diana Wilson, chief communications officer for Jeffco Schools. “We all want to keep our kids safe, but we also know we can’t do that alone as a school district.”

On April 20, 1999, 12 students and one teacher died and 20 were injured when two teens went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton. At the time, the crime was the worst school shooting in U.S. history.

The training facility is a result of partnerships with the school district, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office and individual police departments in Jefferson County.

“This is a one-of-a-kind facility in the United States,” said Steve Bell,

Frank DeAngelis, former Columbine High School principal, said he thinks every day about the students who were killed at the school on April 20, 1999.

The training facility is the vision of John McDonald, executive director of safety, security and emergency planning for Jeffco Schools.

“Between 1982 and 2010, our school district has had three school shootings,” McDonald said. “Between 1999 and 2016, the state of Colorado has had seven school shootings. Too many, too much, no more. This facility offers us a place to train. This facility provides a different kind of education. This is where tactics are learned, strategies discussed and egos are checked at this door.”

In 2006, Emily Keyes was killed at Platte Canyon High School during a hostage situation. To honor her memory, the training room at Martensen was named the Emily Keyes, I Love You Guys training room. “I love you guys,” was the text she sent her parents minutes before she died.

McDonald said that when he started thinking about the community and resiliency that has surrounded Jeffco over the years, he thought of DeAngelis.

Jeffco narrows superintendent search Field of candidates down to six

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A nationwide search involving hundreds has narrowed to just six contenders to be Jefferson County Schools newest superintendent.

At the April 20 study session of the Board of Education, the public was told that out of more than 800 potential applicants, 69 decided to

apply. From that group, a consulting firm winnowed down the list to 11 “top candidates.”

The candidates come from Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The hiring firm Ray & Associates Inc. presented resumes and information about the 11 to the Jeffco Board at the meeting, but the names and resume details were kept from the public.

The five-member board then entered into an executive session where they selected six individuals to interview over the coming days.

The Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requires school districts to make public the names of finalists for positions such as superintendent, at least 14 days prior to an offer of employment.

Colorado Community Media filed a CORA request for the names of the six candidates selected to be interviewed. The district denied that request on Monday, claiming that the board had not selected finalists yet.

The CORA statute define a finalist as “a member of the final group of applicants,” from which the board

chooses.

In the 2014 superintendent search, also handled by Ray & Associates, the board interviewed five candidates, before announcing a single “finalist.”

The first round of candidate interviews is scheduled for this week, including an executive session April 26. A second round of interviews is optional, according to the Ray & Associates timeline. The timeline calls for the board to meet with the consultants this week.

If your agent is a member of a Realtor can see they’re all townhouses. They’re in the association, he or she has access to RPR, which stands for Realtor Property Resource.

A Testimonial from a Recent Client:

How often do you see a condo for sale at $125,000 this price in Denver? Admittedly it’s only 692 sq. ft. and has just one bedroom and one full bathroom, but this is still a very low entry price in the Denver market. And this condo is a short walk or bike ride to the Denver Tech Center. The address is 4400 S. Quebec Street, #R-105, which puts it just south of Quincy Avenue and just north of I-225, near the interchange with I-25.

The HOA dues of $198 per month are suVideo Tour at www.DenverCondo.info per reasonable, given that they include a community clubhouse and pool, tennis court, exterior and grounds maintenance, and even hot water! You’ll appreciate that free hot water when you use the washer and dryer included with this condo! Although there are few upgrades in this unit, all appliances are included, and the carpets and appliances are all in good shape, as are the counter tops. Any improvements you choose to make are not essential — this unit is truly move-in ready. Watch the narrated video tour at the above website to get a feel for it. This condo is a great (and rare) opportunity for renters looking to become homeowners. It will sell quickly, so call your agent or Kim Taylor at 303-304-6678 to set a showing today! Open this Saturday, 2-4 pm.

Nan and I were really impressed with the knowledge and assistance that Jim and Kim provided to us. They did not overlook any details and the sale and the closing was so wonderful.. Everything happened like clockwork. We are in our early 80's and the trauma of downsizing was a concern. They were wonderful and we will recommend them to our friends, some younger than us, should we learn that they will be moving or downsizing.

ing requests — although you won’t get as many by not listing it on the MLS? Worse than the showing requests is the flood of solicitations you will get from agents whose primary source of business is prospecting “by owner” listings. There’s only one known cure for this annoyance, since the no-call list doesn’t apply when you advertise your home for sale, and that is to list your home with one of them (or us). Only then will the calls stop!

Back to the value of a showing service.

They screen each caller to make sure they are licensed. After calling you to approve the showing (unless you’ve said that’s not necessary), they give the lockbox code and showing instructions to the showing agent, along with your own detailed instructions such as “remove shoes or use booties” or “dog in garage—don’t enter.” Later, the showing service sends multiple email requests for feedback to each agent and forwards responses to your agent and/or you immediately. You need that!

Okay, you’ve listed your home “by owner,” and you have several agents submitting offers. You’re the only party to your transaction

without professional representation! How do you negotiate those multiple offers to your advantage? Trust me, having an agent experienced in that process is worth money in your pocket and gray hairs off your head!

Few agents know what the 10 agents at Golden Real Estate know, which is how to “work” multiple offers to your advantage. If an agent sells listings in 1 or 2 days, he or she does not use our approach and probably did not get you the best deal. When you see 0 days on market, it means there was little or no possibility of working with competing offers.

Sadness, excitement color Pleasant View’s last days Students prepare to leave their school for Shelton and Welchester elementaries

“

t o t

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the day after the Jeffco school board decided to close Pleasant View Elementary School in Golden, Shelton Elementary Principal Karen Brown made her way to all the classrooms at her school to talk to her students.

First, she asked: Does anybody have a friend who goes to school at Pleasant View?

Some students said they had a cousin or family member who lives in the area. Others said they play sports with someone who attends Pleasant View.

Brown then told them that Pleasant View would be closing at the end of the school year.

The news was upsetting, she said, but she told them not to be sad.

“The great news,” Brown said, “is that we’re going to get kids from Pleasant View who will be joining Team Shelton.”

• • • The Jeffco Board of Education’s Feb. 9 decision to close Pleasant View, 15920 W. 10th Ave., followed a budgetcut discussion resulting from the November defeat of the district’s bond and mill levy proposals. Four other Jefferson County elementary schools were placed on the potential closure list — Peck and Swanson in Arvada, Pennington in Wheat Ridge and Stober in Lakewood. But in the end, Pleasant View was the only one to be shut down.

Next school year, Pleasant View students will attend Shelton, 420 Crawford St., or Welchester, 13000 W. 10th Ave., in Golden. Both schools are about three miles away from Pleasant View. Students requiring a special needs program may attend Kyffin Elementary School, 205 S. Flora Way, also in Golden.

Being placed on the closure list was disheartening, but not surprising, considering it was the third time in six years that had occurred, said Principal Janace Fischer.

But now that it’s real, emotions among parents, students, teachers and staff are seesawing between sadness and excitement.

“Some sadness at the loss of our community and the relationships we have developed over the years,” Fischer said. “Some excitement about the new opportunities and friends that await.”

But for many at Pleasant View, the reality may not actually set in until the doors close on May 23, said Laurie Arnold-Kelly, president of Pleasant View’s Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA).

“We have no choice but to accept this closure, and there will be a grieving period for the loss of the special

Shelton Elementary Principal Karen Brown stands on the path leading to the school’s playground as children play behind her during a recess in mid-April. The Shelton community is looking forward to welcoming the new Coyotes who will be joining the school community from Pleasant View next year, Brown said. “We are all Team Shelton.”

The main focus is to finish the year strong, Arnold-Kelly said. But everything is tinged with sentimentality.

“We just held our last talent show.

We’re preparing our last yearbook, last school musical, last field day and so on,” Arnold-Kelly said. “It gets emotionally jarring.”

Laura Pitts has three children currently attending Pleasant View. Next year, they will attend Welchester.

“When the district made the decision to close Pleasant View Elementary, I was a little overwhelmed … it all happened so fast that I really didn’t have it in me to try to research other schools and try to choice them in elsewhere,” Pitts said. “While I’m sad to be forced to go to another school, I am looking forward to making this transition a teaching moment for our family.

We are looking forward with a positive attitude and hoping that we find that our new home school will give us a new family.”

The change has a lot of layers, Pitts said, from experiencing the impact it will have on the students and families, to watching Pleasant View staff manage holding it together for everyone involved.

“They have done an amazing job not to show that stress, to keep smiling and to maintain a productive and happy environment,” Pitts said. “I think we’re all just cherishing our

Making the most fun of the time we have left in our home with our special family.”

• • • District officials cited low enrollment and aging building conditions as main reasons to close Pleasant View, which will save Jeffco schools $662,742 — money that will go toward the school board’s goal of improving salaries to attract and retain highquality educators.

Pleasant View, which opened in 1950, has 215 students, less than half the number of students the school can hold. It is situated on a one-way street just south of South Golden Road and north of West Colfax Avenue, in a 2.5-square-mile community tucked between Golden and Lakewood.

The school’s challenges have been great: Enrollment is the lowest since 2000. A large number of its students

are homeless and transient. It is a Title I school, which means more than three-quarters of its students are on free or reduced lunch. Test scores are low. The school sits in a neighborhood that is struggling economically.

But the school has continually developed ways to meet students’ needs. For example, a 21st Century Community Learning Grant created free beforeand after-school enrichment clubs.

The clubs changed every semester depending on students’ interests, Fischer said, but have included everything from robotics to sewing to running.

“Students involved with passion areas and extracurricular activities are more likely to stay in school and graduate high school,” Fischer said.

And collaborative relationships between teachers and parents, offering vast opportunities for parent involvement, have always been important to the Pleasant View school community.

“To be successful,” Fischer said, “it takes a team effort.”

• • • The schools involved in the transition of Pleasant View students to other schools are working to ensure that process is positive for students.

Family meetings and activities are being held, which include all three school communities. The goal is to establish friendships and familiarity with faces and classrooms before August so every student feels comfortable on the first day of school next year.

Shelton and Welchester are working hard to welcome students with open arms into their school communities, said Kimberly Brock, chair of the Golden Schools Foundation, a local organization founded to enrich all Golden feeder schools.

“That is the beautiful thing about our Golden schools,” she said. “We are all in this together, and will work together to help each other support all of our Golden students.”

On May 8, Pleasant View students will spend the day visiting their new schools. And on May 15, every Golden school is invited to a family night at nearby Lakeside Amusement Park.

Through daily emails or phone chats, and weekly meetings, Welches-

ABOUT PRESCHOOL AND CLASS SIZES Preschool When Pleasant View Elementary closes on May 23, the community will also lose its preschool, which served families with fullday and half-day programs.

The preschool has about 60 students in its three classrooms.

Shelton Elementary will not be getting a preschool next year, but Welchester Elementary’s preschool — which is in its second year with one classroom that accommodates 16 students — will expand by one classroom and offer full- and half-day preschool.

K-6 class sizes Pleasant View’s enrollment generally hovers at about 240 students, but this year enrollment started at 222 students, the lowest Janace Fischer said she’s seen in her six years as principal. Enrollment this semester is at 215 students. ter and Shelton are taking cues from Fischer on how quickly or slowly to prepare for the change, said Welchester Principal Bethany Robinson.

“Change can be hard if you don’t plan for it,” she said. “We’re honoring what they’re going through, and letting them enjoy the rest of the school year.”

A common theme has caught on throughout the three schools: Friends We Haven’t Met Yet. “We’ve all grabbed on to it,” said Shelton’s PTSA President Heather Rice, adding that the school is happy

Most of Pleasant View’s students will transition to either Shelton or Welchester elementaries. Although it is too soon to know with accuracy how many students each school will get for the 2017-18 academic year, Shelton Principal Karen Brown and Welchester Principal Bethany Robinson each expect to have 60 to 70 new students. The principals said classroom sizes won’t increase by much more than three to five students, keeping class sizes at about 25 students per classroom.

Shelton has a capacity for 600 kindergarten through sixth-grade students and has 460 enrolled as of April. Welchester, with 275 students, has a capacity for about 420 students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

The school district will shift most sixthgraders to the middle schools in the 201819 academic year. to have the new Shelton Coyotes join the community.

• • • Rice, mother of a 3-year-old and a first-grader, understands that a transition to a new school can be intimidating for both students and parents. Her daughter, Mila, started school on the day she turned 5, and Rice worried that her social skills were not as mature as the other children in her class.

“But within two weeks, everybody knew her name,” she said. “Shelton

has a lot to offer, and I think the Pleasant View families will have a lot to offer as well.”

The PTSA is looking forward to working with a new group of parent volunteers, Rice said, and there will be opportunities for parents to join the PTSA board.

To Robinson, having new families at Welchester means there will be fresh ideas and new opportunities to reenergize parent involvement.

“The kids are particularly excited to show our new friends what we love about Welchester,” said the school’s PTSA President Michelle Moorman Applegate. “As part of our art classes, students made a large welcome sign for our open house with Pleasant View families. Our own students and families gave the tours of the school.”

Hannah Pitts, 8, has attended Pleasant View for three years.

“I will miss the whole school,” she said of Pleasant View. “I like the teachers because they teach us the best things a kid can ever learn.”

Pitts will enter the third grade at Welchester next year. And despite that she is nervous to attend a new school, she is looking forward to making new friends, she said.

Robinson believes the new students will SOAR — a commonly used acronym at the school that stands for Strive, Own, Appreciate and Respect — alongside their fellow Welchester Eagles, she said.

“School closure is never easy,” Robinson said. “We’re all trying to make it be the best experience as possible for everyone.”

‘I LOST ALL OF THEM’

BY ALEX DEWIND | ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Portraits of Ethan Laber, 5, and his brother Adam, 3, teddy bears and blue gemstones — which the boys loved to find in backyard treasure hunts — were displayed for guests at a memorial service at St. Philip Lutheran Church in Jefferson County on Dec. 6.

In a world of grief, Ryan Laber keeps memories of family close

A

t times, Ryan Laber feels as if he is drifting in the ocean.

Grief washes over him in waves, recedes, then comes in again.

Other times, he stands in a valley, staring at sheer cliffs encircling him, wondering how he will ever climb out.

“Losing all of your children and your spouse — that is a pretty earth-shattering thing,” he says.

Since his wife shot and killed their sons and then herself five months ago, the days flash back and forth between memories of life as it was and the reality of life as it is now. He is trying to move forward, wading through the sorrow, coming to terms with his wife’s depression and bipolar disorder, holding onto the joy his sons brought him.

“It’s this nonstop buzz of emotion,” Laber says.

“What you’ll find is that you’re just trying to look for tangible memories of the things you lost.”

Laber, 40, is a 6-foot-3 solidly-built man with a welcoming demeanor and a dimpled smile, a director in an electronics company whose life revolved around his family. The sadness in his brown eyes wells into tears when he remembers.

On Nov. 30, police found his wife of 12 years, Jennifer, 38, and their two sons, Adam, 3, and Ethan, 5, dead in the family minivan on an abandoned loading dock outside of a shuttered Sports Authority in Lone Tree. The Douglas County coroner determined the boys each died of a single gunshot wound and Jennifer from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Laber was upstairs in Ethan’s bedroom, where

he and Jennifer read bedtime stories to their sons, when he saw the police car pull up to their Highlands Ranch home later that day.

“I put my arms on his bed and I tried to talk to them.” He knew. They were in heaven.

On a March afternoon, Laber sits in a Highlands Ranch coffee shop, next door to Salsa Brava, a favorite Mexican restaurant of his sons. As he talks about their deaths and his grief, his eyes dart from his coffee cup to the room

around him.

The day his world shattered was Nov. 29.

Laber had left his work at Arrow Electronics in Centennial by 5 p.m. to make it home in time for dinner, as he did every evening. But their home was dark. Jennifer, Ethan and Adam were gone.

Confused, Laber started calling friends and family. He wondered if he had unconsciously said or done something to upset Jennifer, a stayat-home mom. He wondered if she had taken the boys and started driving to Minnesota, where they had lived until moving to Colorado two years ago. She had talked about wanting to move back.

What drives a parent to kill a child?

Experts point to a variety of reasons, a key one being mental illness

‘Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their own mothers captures our horrified attention is because it is so rare.’

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every day, Stephanie Schmalz drives by Highlands Ranch on C-470 from her home in Morrison to her job in Lone Tree.

So when she learned in November that Jennifer Laber, a Highlands Ranch mother, had killed her two young sons and then herself, the tragedy stayed with her. It moved her to post a message on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page called Word of Mouth: “I didn’t know these kids. I didn’t know this mom. I do, however, know this mom’s heart. She was likely depressed, overwhelmed, feeling worthless, not measuring up to standards that she thought others have set for her — that the world has set for her.”

Her post received more than 600 likes and dozens of comments thanking Schmalz, a mother of three, for her words and extending compassion for the family involved.

“I feel like what I wrote is what people think about but don’t say,” Schmalz said. “It takes a village to raise kids — it takes a village to raise a family.”

Randi Smith, psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver

Variety of reasons for ‘rare’ occurrence The Laber tragedy — followed two months later by a similar case involving another Highlands Ranch mother and her 10-year-old daughter — generated an outpouring on social media of compassion, shock and disbelief.

Many comments came from women, who although not in any way condoning — or understanding — the killings, expressed empathy for mothers who are struggling with stressors of everyday life or a mental illness such as depression.

The resounding questions became: How could this happen? Why the kids?

Even among mental health and forensic experts, there is no clear answer.

According to a 2014 study by Brown University in Rhode Island, over the past three decades U.S. parents have committed filicide — the act of a parent killing his or her child — about 500 times every year. Seventy-two percent of the children killed were age 6 or younger. One-third were infants.

Ten percent of children killed were between 7 and 18 years old.

When a parent also kills himself or herself, the act is referred to as filicidesuicide.

Filicide is rare: About 74 million children from infancy to 17 years old live in the United States, according to the U.S. Census. The average number of filicide cases has stayed at about 500 a year for

He called the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office at about 8 p.m. Deputies came to his house, took down information and sifted through credit card transactions. The Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun that Jennifer had purchased earlier that day had not yet shown up.

Laber went to bed at about midnight. He slept, somehow knowing he would need energy for the next day.

He awoke at 5:30 a.m., and soon after, a neighbor called, asking if he had seen the news. Police had discovered three bodies in a van near the old Sports Authority in Lone Tree. Helicopters circled over the scene.

Laber immediately called the sheriff ’s department. He was told there wasn’t enough information yet.

“That was code for ‘we are worried about you hurting yourself and we are not going to tell you anything,’ ” Laber remembers thinking. “That’s when it sunk in.”

Four months later, Laber still doesn’t understand what went wrong. Friends and family of Jennifer didn’t see signs. Her behavior hadn’t changed. Looking back, Laber believes that she had been planning her suicide for months and reached a point of calm in knowing her life would soon end.

The sorrow is overwhelming. But, he

After the tragic loss of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber passed out blue stones at a celebration of life gathering at O’Brien Park in Parker on Dec. 3. His sons loved to treasure hunt, he said, especially for blue gemstones in the backyard.

ALEX DEWIND says, he is not angry: His wife was ill.

Ryan and Jennifer met in Minnesota, where they both grew up. Ryan, 26 at the time, was out to dinner with work clients at a restaurant. Jennifer, then 24, was at the same restaurant with friends. They met, dated for two years and married in September 2005.

Shortly after, Jennifer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression, Laber says. She was hospitalized more than once in her late 20s following a suicide attempt.

It was the first time Laber had ex-

perienced mental illness in someone close to him. And, at first, it angered him, coming so soon after their marriage. One time, after visiting her, he pounded so hard on the armrest in his two-door sports car that it broke.

“It was at that point in time that I recognized that I couldn’t sit there and tolerate it,” he says. “I had to do something differently.”

Laber reached out to his pastor, who coached him into redirecting his anger. He started going to therapy with Jennifer and attending classes to learn about mental illness.

Eventually, Jennifer learned to manage the depression and bipolar

the past 30 years, though the population of the country has grown.

According to Randi Smith, a psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver, when parents cause their children’s deaths it’s more likely to be accidental or, in some cases, part of an ongoing pattern of child abuse.

“Part of the reason that the recent deaths of children at the hands of their 1 own mothers captures our horrified at- a tention is because it is so rare,” Smith e said.

Reasons for filicide range from murders committed out of “love” — described as altruistic killings — to child abuse and neglect, but mental illness often stands at the forefront.

That’s especially true in cases of the killing of a toddler or adolescent, who has formed an attachment with the parent, said Phillip Resnick, an internationally known forensic h psychiatrist and professor c at Case Western Reserve i University in Ohio.

“Killing children once i their role is established i in the family would be an J Resnick extreme measure,” said v g Resnick, who has studa ied filicide for 50 years. “It wouldn’t be done casually or incidentally — it t would require some extreme forces p coming together.” c p SEE PARENTS, P12

disorder with medication and lifestyle changes. The couple felt stable enough to think about starting a family and Ethan and Adam were born a few years later.

“We reached a point, years ago,” Laber told mourners at a Dec. 2 vigil, “where the darkness had subsided for a family to be born.”

The family’s move to Colorado was prompted by a job opportunity for Laber at Arrow Electronics. Though they were leaving close friends and family, Laber and Jennifer saw it as a fresh start.

The family moved to an apartment in Parker before settling in a home in a kid-friendly cul-de-sac neighborhood of Highlands Ranch.

Life was easy, simple, with a happy flow from day to day.

Laber made it home for dinner every weeknight. He and his sons loved to wrestle. He and Jennifer took turns cooking.

On Saturdays, Laber woke up with the boys while Jennifer slept in. They made chocolate chip pancakes. Saturday nights, the four of them went out to dinner, then came home to watch movies on the couch. It was a family ritual.

Jennifer was kind and caring with the boys, consistent about teaching them good manners. A vegetarian, she encouraged the boys to eat healthy. She instilled a love for cuddling.

‘Grief is unique — there is no one-box-fits-all’ Therapist talks about importance of working through grieving process

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Linda Coughlin Brooks lost her 17-year-old daughter nearly 20 years ago, when she died unexpectedly from epilepsy in her sleep.

Brooks, a therapist who knows the grieving process all too well, has since dedicated her life to helping others.

“I help someone who doesn’t know if they want to live or die,” said Brooks, sitting in her Greenwood Village Brooks office. Photos honoring her patients’ loved ones who have died cover the walls. “I help them reengage in life.”

A former nurse of 37 years, Brooks is certified in death and grief studies. In her private practice, the Grief Journey, she provides care for individuals and families experiencing grief, loss and life transitions, such as a divorce.

She also serves as the regional director of Compassionate Friends, a nonprofit organization with more than 700 chapters across the United States for parents who have lost a child.

WHERE TO FIND HELP

One in five adults nationwide experiences a mental illness, according to the National Association of Mental Illness. One in 25 lives with a more serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Half of all chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 — three-quarters by the age of 24, the association reports.

About 2.6 percent of adults live with bipolar disorder. And almost 7 percent of American adults live with major depression, the leading cause of disability worldwide, the National Institute of Mental Health reports.

Nearly 60 percent of adults with a mental illness didn’t receive mental health services in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has found.

Research says that individuals experience grief in five stages: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But Brooks said that grief is not linear — the experience is different for every individual.

She saw a patient one time for the loss of a dog, a companion. She saw a patient for nearly two years for the loss of a mother.

These days, when he has the energy, he spends a couple of hours sorting through his family’s belongings. A friend who lost a loved one told him to take down some of the photos on the walls, so he did, and it helped.

In his grieving, Laber has connected with others who have lost a child, a spouse, a close friend.

But he finds his situation is different: “I lost all of them. It’s not like I could even be grateful for something that was still left.”

The faith community, friends, family and coworkers have helped him on his road to healing, he says.

Pastors from four churches reached out to him — he has relied heavily on his faith.

People flooded his Facebook and mailbox with messages

and letters. Neighbors, family and friends have continually been by his side. He sees medical professionals and attends support groups to help him cope.

He could have shut out the world, Laber says, but he knew that would have led him to depression.

Instead, he lets the grief pass through him, following the path of others who have experienced a devastating loss.

“I invited them all in to share with me where they found the footholds,” he says. “I take different pieces from what I understand from different people.”

Laber is unsure if he will stay in his house. Once a place of memories, he says, it is becoming a house of ghosts.

He knows he will never let go of Adam, Ethan and Jennifer.

To remember Jennifer, he would like to join forces with an existing statewide organization on suicide prevention.

To honor his boys, he would like to work with an organization for parents who have lost children.

The future remains too murky to see.

But he is certain of one thing: He would like, someday, to be a husband and father again.

PARENTS FROM PAGE 10

In a 2005 study of 30 filicide-suicide cases published by the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law — written

by Resnick and four other authors — 70 percent of the motives were identified as murders committed out of “love” to relieve the real or imagined suffering of the child.

The second most prevalent reason was acute psychosis, such as schizophrenia, which can cause delusions.

That was the case for LaShuan Harris, a 23-year-old who, in 2005, dropped her three boys, ages 6, 2 and 16 months, into San Francisco Bay. Harris, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, believed she was listening to God and sending her children to heaven. She was found criminally insane and sentenced to a psychiatric hospital.

Other motives of filicide have included mistreatment, such as child abuse resulting in death; having an unwanted child; and revenge against a spouse.

In March, a Chicago father shot and killed his twin daughters. According to national media outlets, police dispatch heard the father tell his wife he wanted her to live and suffer before shooting her in the leg — she survived — and then shooting and killing himself.

Michael Karson, a clinical psy-

chologist at the University of Denver, cited a variety of reasons for filicide, including an “end-ofthe-world” psychosis, when a parent feels that he or she is trying to spare their child from what is to come.

Postpartum depression, a hormonal imbalKarson ance that can affect new mothers following childbirth, can be a cause in rare instances, Karson said.

In instances of postpartum psychosis, the mother most likely has a history of bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder, a mental disorder characterized by symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, according to a 2016 report of filicide in the United States authored by Resnick and published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry.

That was the case for Andrea Yates, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2001 drowning of her five children. The Texas woman reportedly experienced severe postpartum depression and psychosis. She is now in a state mental hospital.

Postpartum psychosis occurs in about one out of 1,000 new mothers, as opposed to the two or three out of 100 new mothers who might experience postpartum depression, a common and treatable malady, Resnick said. But, he emphasized, “most people with postpartum de-

pression don’t go on to harm their child or commit suicide.”

In some altruistic filicide cases, the report in the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law says, the parent was depressed and considered the children’s deaths as extended suicides rather than homicides.

The study found that parents who killed their children and themselves overall appeared to have high rates of mental illness.

Smith echoed that finding.

Filicide-suicide scenarios, such as the two recent cases involving mothers and their children in Highlands Ranch, she said, usually occur in the midst of a deep depression with psychotic features or in the midst of a bipolar episode.

After the death of his wife and two sons, Ryan Laber publicly spoke of his wife’s battle with depression and bipolar disorder. Jennifer Laber, 38, was diagnosed in her mid20s after a suicide attempt, he said.

Her autopsy revealed that she had bipolar-disorder medication in her system at the time of her death.

According to the police report, Cristi Benavides, 40, the Highlands Ranch woman who was found dead with her daughter, Emma, in February, had a history of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.

‘Things pass, things get better’ How to prevent such tragedies is the challenge.

World Psychiatry, an office

journal of the World Psychiatric Association, suggests that psychiatrists should assess filicide risk in a systematic way, as they do for suicide, by asking questions about childrearing practices, parenting problems and feelings of being overwhelmed — and then provide steps to ensure the safety of all involved.

And although many resources exist for those contemplating suicide, Karson wonders whether a parent thinking of filicide would admit to those thoughts.

“How,” he asked, “can we arrange a world in which a person in that situation would tell someone?”

Several mental health and education experts also say establishing connections for parents to community and the support that can be found there — whether personal or professional — is key.

“Many people can profit from talking with mental health care professionals, experiencing support and seeing how to change situations so that they can manage stress more productively,” said Judith Fox, associate professor of the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology.

Psychology experts agree that in many filicide-suicide cases the parent acts on impulse.

“Things pass, things get better,” Karson said. “All the lost opportunities — if they could just get past that impulse.”

n Nov. 30, Jennifer Laber was found dead with her two sons, ages 3 and 5, in the family minivan outside a closed Sports Authority. Just two months later, on Jan. 30, Cristi Benavides and her 10-year-old daughter were found dead in the basement of a home.

In both instances, law enforcement authorities determined the mothers had killed their children, and then themselves.

Both families lived in the Douglas County community of Highlands Ranch, one of the more than 20 towns, cities and counties that Colorado Community Media covers.

The tragedies devastated family members, neighbors and school communities and generated an outpouring of comments on social media. There was compassion for all involved. But there also was shock and disbelief: Why would a parent kill his or her child?

Because the tragedies occurred in such proximity to each

other, and because one of our communities was struggling with the ensuing grief, we thought it important to try to understand why this happened and to put these cases in context of issues surrounding them. Those stories are packaged as a special report in this week’s editions, on our communities’ websites and at coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Reporter Alex DeWind spent weeks researching and reporting to find answers to the why. She found that the act of a parent killing his or her child is rare. And that the reasons are varied, but that mental illness is at the forefront. In both of these instances, family members and law enforcement say depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder were present.

It’s time to talk about the issue and make sure resources and support systems exist to help. In conjunction with Mental Health Awareness month in May, a new public health campaign called “Let’s Talk Colorado” gets underway. The campaign, supported by a coalition of agencies led by Tri-County Health Department, focuses on eliminating the stigma around mental illness so that those who need the help will seek it. Look for our story next week about the campaign.

Earth Day is every day

ecause we do not think of the next generation, they will never forget us. – Henrik Tikkanen What did you do on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22? I drove – alone – on several errands. After my car was totaled when I was ALCHEMY crashed into recently, though, I now drive a vehicle that uses a bit more gas. So for both environmental and economic reasons, I’m even more cognizant about combining trips.

I also did some spring cleaning and some laundry, although with only some bio-friendly deterAndrea Doray gents. I mean, after all, biodegradable cleansers can be more expensive and less effective … right?

I took a chance and planted my patio pots before Mother’s Day, and, on the advice of the garden center guy, I purchased bags of soil with only organic compounds because I grow an herb garden as well as flowers.

I prepared a meal of bison filet not just because it’s lean and healthy meat, but also because bison are humanely and sustainably raised on ranches, where their hooves actual help reseed and restore the ecosystem.

All day on the radio I heard public service announcements reminding us, for example, to choose reusable water bottles (I do) and shopping bags (mostly I don’t). And as I listened to these earth-saving pleas, I couldn’t help but be struck by the dichotomy consistently

playing out in our country.

Even as more and more of us take personal responsibility for preserving the planet, the current administration systematically dismantles effective safeguards in ineffective attempts to restore jobs and hide cronyism.

Scott Pruitt, the man somehow selected to lead the Environmental Protection Agency is hardly a protector himself.

He spent much of previous political life challenging, suing and even decrying the need for the very agency he now heads.

I awake each morning to the frustrating reality that there’s not much you or I or anyone else inclined to conserve, protect, and sustain our environment can do at this highest level. But I do pick up my pen to converse with you here, and I call and write emails to members of Congress. I’ve now gathered a supply of cloth shopping bags and stowed them in the front of my car so I will remember to use them. My condo community doesn’t do recycling, but I’ve started to collect my paper and my cans and my glass to carry to a friend’s place that does. I’ve decided to buy brown coffee filters next time, not the ones that have been chemically treated to turn them white, and to commit the biodegradable cleaning ingredients.

I can remind all of us here to turn off the tap while brushing our teeth or shaving, to choose reusable water bottles, and to find a way to recycle no matter what. The statistics about the amount of plastic – which never goes away – are absolutely staggering. For SEE DORAY, P15

I

think I’ve mentioned before that I am a runner. Sort of. Not really a happy one, or one by nature. I run because I know that it is good for me (if I do it right), and because there are very few ways to build up cardiovascular endurance HITTING as effectively as simHOME ply putting one foot in front of the other for an extended period of time.

At any rate, the hyper-competitive nature of my personality compels me to want to be better at it, which means running faster. So, I Michael Alcorn started doing some research into exercises to help speed, and different processes I could engage in to improve my split times, and so forth. And, in the end, they’re all great and useful, but do you know what I realized it all boiled down to? That, if you want to run fast, you have to run fast.

I know. There’s nothing slow runners like more than a good tautology.

What I mean by that is that all the exercises and training regimens in the world are not as valuable as simply resolving to run faster for an extended period of time, until your body is used to doing it at that speed.

That is how you learn to run faster.

It’s really pretty simple.

All things considered, I’d still rather be chasing a basketball around the court.

It’s the simple answers in life, it

seems, that kill you. The more complicated the answer, the more subjunctive clauses and dependent phrases, the more loopholes and excuses you have to avoid doing what is necessary.

Not so with simple answers. You don’t suppose it’s just coincidence that the Ten Commandments uses only 300-ish words, but the U.S. Tax Code requires a semi-tractor, a forklift and Dwayne Johnson to haul around?

You want to become a good trumpet player? Play the trumpet. For hours and hours every day, play the trumpet. (This one, I know from experience as a teacher, is an answer that drives students crazy.)

You want to become a computer programmer? Then program computers. Learn to write code, learn to write in different languages (are there still different languages? Is Fortran still a thing?), and then simply write.

Isn’t that what Malcolm Gladwell told us made Bill Gates special?

Speaking of writing, also from experience, you want to be a writer?

Then sit down and write. Every day.

500 words, 300 words, a Haiku, something, just write.

The simple answers don’t give you a lot of wiggle room, is the problem.

And also the wonderful solution.

Once you are forced to abandon all the different “buts” and “what ifs” that keep you from taking your interest and turning it in to something productive, you end up with just you and the thing, whatever it is. That’s a

OUR VIEW FROM PAGE 14

To ensure we presented this sensitive topic appropriately, we followed the media resource guide compiled by the World Health Organization and the International Association for Suicide Prevention to help journalists cover suicide, along with other guidelines for reporting on homicides. l We worked not to sensationalize the stories, to explain in context the reasons that could lead to these tragedies and to find sources with knowledge and authority on the issue. We hope the stories spotlight the importance of public community discussion on mental illness and the need for support systems. Also, a sidebar provides information on resources for grief and mental health support.

Finally, when Ryan Laber shared us with the story of his family and his experience with devastating

h

e

grief, we committed to him that it would be told with great care, compassion and respect.

Journalistic ethics guidelines call on us to minimize harm in the telling of truth. We do that by treating our sources as human beings who deserve our respect and compassion, particularly in circumstances such as these. And to ensure Mr. Laber did not incur any more harm because of our story, we made an exception to our guideline that does not allow sources to read articles before publication.

We are conscious of the privilege of telling his story. We wanted to make sure we got it right.

We realize these stories may be uncomfortable to read. Our hope is that they bring some understanding of not only the consequences for those left behind but also what can lead to these kinds of tragedies.

As one mother said: “It takes a village to raise a family.”

In the broader sense, a community is a family. We must take care of each other.

By the way, this is not necessarily a philosophy I would adhere to in life-threatening circumstances. “You want to be a swimmer? Dive in a lake.”

simultaneously presenting a sword with which to cut through them.

Next time you face a challenge, try to avoid the tendency to discover all the complications, and go, rather, for the simple answer.

Oh, yeah, I might have forgotten to mention: “simple” is, in this context, NEVER the same thing as “easy.”

Quite the opposite, actually.

appeal to home school

Benefits, challenges of parents who teach their kids

HOME-SCHOOL PROGRAMS The Home School Connection offers group-setting classes for home-schooled children in grades kindergarten through sixth. Students may attend one class a week. Subjects include performing arts, creative writing, science and physical education. Locations are in Westminster, Lakewood and Evergreen.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

B

ecause of her experience as a student in public schools, Ashley Maes decided to homeschool her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.

“When I was in school, I never felt challenged,” the Littleton resident said. “I was present in school but not participating, and I felt like I could do more for my children.”

She continues to home-school because of the freedom it provides — her family isn’t restricted to a school-day schedule and her kids can explore their passions and interests, Maes said.

Maes’ decision to home-school reflects a trend that has significantly grown over the past two decades.

In 1999, there were about 850,000 home-schooled students ages 5 through 17 in the United States, according to a household education survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. That number jumped to an estimated 1.1 million students in 2003 and an estimated 1.5 million students in 2007, the most recent year of the survey.

In Colorado, 7,659 students were registered with public school districts as home-schooled in 2016, up from 6,462 students in 2010, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

Douglas County School District currently has 509 home-schooled students, the district reports. In fall of 2016, according to records from the Colorado Department of Education, Jefferson County Public Schools had 436 home-schooled students and Adams 12 Five Star Schools had 313. All of the districts’ home-school counts have increased since 2010.

Families home-school for a number of reasons. Considered the most important are religious or moral instruction, concern about the school environment and dissatisfaction with academic instruction at other schools, the survey by the U.S. Department of Education reported.

Colleen Sprister, of Sedalia, wanted her four children, ages 7, 9, 11 and 13, to have a Christ-based education.

Private school was not in her family’s budget, so she and her husband decided to home-school.

Sprister’s children are enrolled in Classical Conversations, an international home-school program with an emphasis on classical learning and Christianity. They work in group settings one day a week with other

For more information, call 720-289-9230 or email info@wwahomeschool.org.

Two Roads is a K-12 charter school that offers home-school programs at its two campuses — 6980 Pierce St., Arvada, and 5890 Alkire St., Littleton. Home-school students are required to take a minimum of 6.25 hours of classes per week on campus.

For more information, call the Arvada campus at 303-423-3377 or the Littleton campus at 720-425-6163.

The Academy Charter School, based in Castle Rock, offers a home-school program with curriculum, lessons and classes for homeschooled students in Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker. The program is tuition-free with a small cost for materials.

For more information, visit academycharter. org/home-school.

FAST FACTS Home school programs must have no less than 172 days of instruction, averaging four hours a day.

Colleen Sprister, a resident of Sedalia, home schools her four children, ages seven, nine, 11 and 13. She made the decision because she wanted her kids to have a Christbased education. “I get to see my kids through the good and the struggles everyday,” she said, “and we get to work through it as a family.”

COURTESY PHOTO Classical Conversations students from Castle Rock, Parker and Elizabeth.

The other four days, they work on assignments at home.

Her kids also participate in recreational activities, such as gymnastics and football, and work on their family’s small-scale farm.

Home schooling has strengthened the relationship of her family, Sprister said.

“I get to see my kids through the good, the struggles, every day, and we get to work through it as a family,” she said.

Like Classical Conversations, many resources provide curriculum for families who home-school. Programs are offered online or as an extension of a public or charter school. Some are free; others have a fee for curriculum and material.

When a parent or legal guardian decides to home-school a child, they take on the responsibility for the student’s education, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

That includes providing curriculum, books, supplies and tests and maintaining permanent records. That also includes making sure the student has at least 172 days of instruction a year in basic subjects, such as reading, writing, math, history, science and others.

For Maes, taking on the role of a teacher has been challenging. Keeping her kids focused and interested can be difficult, she said.

“It’s hard being with your kids all the time and getting them motivated,” Maes said. “Because you’re Mom, they feel like they can argue with you.”

Another challenge that some homeschool families face is being labeled with stereotypes, such as socially awkward or sheltered.

Maes had concerns about socialization when she first started homeschooling her children, she said. But she no longer worries about that. Her children interact with others when they are out running errands. They play with kids in their neighborhood,

Students in a home-school program must have academic progress evaluated in grades 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

Home schooling is considered nonpublic and is not regulated by the state of Colorado. The parent who oversees the homeschool program is responsible for obtaining and paying for books, supplies and tests.

Home-school resources vary because programs can be purchased from private companies or the parent or guardian can create the curriculum.

Source: Colorado Department of Education kids on their sports teams and students at the charter school they attend one day a week.

“I used to be terrified that they would be hermits,” Maes said. “They are learning to interact with a variety of age groups.”

Maes isn’t sure if she will homeschool her children through high school. She is taking it year by year.

For now, the positives outweigh the negatives.

“The relationship I am developing with them is different,” Maes said, “and I’m treasuring that because I won’t get that time back.”

Spending the summer with live music

I

f there’s a better part of summer than music under the stars, I don’t know what it is.

Colorado has no shortage of picturesque LINER locations for summer concerts, NOTES and while everyone is well aware of places like Red Rocks, many more intimidate venues exist that provide a lovely setting for some classic acts.

The Denver Botanic Gardens, Clarke Reader Arvada Center and Hudson Gardens in Littleton have concert lineups that are shining jewels.

“What makes a good concert series is a mix of the new with the familiar,” said Barry Osborne, marketing manager with Swallow Hill Music, which puts on the concerts at the Botanic Gardens and Arvada Center. “We want these experiences to be like relaxing in your backyard, listening to

WHAT’S PLAYING? To find the Summer Stage Concert Series at The Arvada Center, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.SummerAtTheCenter.com.

To find the Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series, call 1-877-435-9849 or visit concerts.botanicgardens.org.

To find the Hudson Gardens & Event Summer Concert Series, visit www.altitudetickets. com. something you really love.”

The lineups at all three venues tend toward classic rock acts, with musicians like Three Dog Night coming to the Arvada Center, Joan Jett, Firefall and Yes heading to Hudson, and Stephen Stills, Judy Collins and Randy Newman performing at the Botanic Gardens.

“People are really excited about Stills and Collins, particularly because Collins is a Colorado musician,” Osborne said. “Newman is such a great songwriter. I think it will be really interesting to see

how he balances his deep, sarcastic songs with his popular movie songs.”

Blues wizards are always fantastic performers, and this summer offers a mix of old hands and the new guard performing.

The Robert Cray Band and Jonny Lang will be stopping by Arvada, Littleton will host The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and the Botanic Gardens hosts blues god Buddy Guy and a special coheadlining performance with Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’.

“The Taj Mo’ show is going to be really special, because they’re in such high demand as solo artists,” Osborne said. “They’re well-known friends, and seeing them together will reinvent the way they approach their music.”

Among the three venues, all your stylistic bases are covered. A fan of country and bluegrass? Clint Black and The Punch Brothers are heading your way.

More of a jazz fan? You can’t miss Herbie Hancock and Béla Fleck & The Flecktones and The Chick

Corea Elektric Band.

For pop lovers, The B-52s, Michael McDonald, Loverboy and Survivor will all be in town.

And if your leanings take you off the beaten path, José González and Dweezil Zappa playing years of his father’s music will more than serve.

As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. So I encourage you to check out one of these venues and see someone you’ve always been curious or have heard good things about.

“We’ve got the whole summer ahead,” Osborne said, “and we’re really excited about it.”

Me, too.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he is so excited to see Randy Newman live — he better play “Sail Away.” Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

Achieving that ‘High Grade’ at School of Mines CSM releases annual art and literary journal

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students at the Colorado School of Mines are more than just aspiring engineers, scientists and mathematicians — they are also skilled artists and creative writers.

They seem to be total opposites, but engineering and art collide together surprisingly well, said Rebecca Reeve, 22, a senior studying mechanical engineering who has been painting nearly all of her life.

“Art encourages people to think outside the box,” Reeve said. “It’s huge to be able to think outside of the box with engineering.”

On April 14, about 150 people attended a release party at the Foothills Art Center for Mines’ 41st edition of “High Grade” — the school’s annual art and literary journal. The journal features varied genres of art in mediums including visual arts, creative writing and music. The content is submitted by students, faculty, staff, alumni or anybody with an affiliation to Mines.

“A lot of people don’t realize that engineers are really creative,” said Wenli Dickinson, the journal’s editor-in-chief, who is a junior studying environmental engineering. “The quality of the SEE MINES, P18

journal shows that we are more than just engineers.”

“High Grade” has had its original name since its founding in 1976 — but the journal itself has evolved a lot. It started out as a couple of standard-sized pages stapled together, with the content printed in black and white. Modern versions are a full-color, bound book of about 100 pages.

The name “High Grade” has a couple of different interpretations, said Toni Lefton, a professor in Mines’ Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Department who has been the faculty adviser for “High Grade” for 18 years.

Defined, high grade refers to a top-quality ore that is rich in metal value and is commercially profitable, Lefton said. But students around

together to pass out around campus, Reeve said. “`High Grade’ is a hidden gem of our school,” she added.

In addition to their academic course load, the students work hard to produce a quality journal, Lefton said.

“It’s a labor of love,” she said. “These students don’t get academic credit for this.”

Nationally, a hot term in education is STEAM, which integrates arts and design into STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — subjects, Lefton said.

Although Mines is a world renowned university for engineering and applied science, there is much more that goes on at Mines, Lefton said. There are robust extracurricular activities and clubs for students to get involved with athletics, as well as visual and performing arts, she added.

“Mines is a small STEM school, but the arts are alive here, too,” Lefton said. “We get a little steamy.”

campus often think of it as how hard they work to obtain good grades, she added.

Either way, Lefton said, “High Grade” creates a legacy that reflects upon the creativity of the Mines community — past, present and into the future.

This year’s journal features more than 50 works of submitted pieces, not including web-exclusive content such as music and fiction that wasn’t printed in the journal.

A lot of the 2017 content has the common theme of aging and the passing of time, which served as a framework of sorts for the journal, Dickinson said.

Each year, the “High Grade” staff of Lefton and about 25 Mines students, receives hundreds of submissions, which then go through a jury process to select which submissions will be published in “High Grade.”

JEFFCO FROM PAGE 3

The district website says the board hopes to select a candidate in May. “We’ve done some hard work on this, yours is about to begin,” Bill Newman, of Ray and Associates, told the board before it adjourned to executive session to review the applicants. “Tonight’s goal is to get this down to who you would like to bring in to meet in person.”

Before the board adjourned to executive session, board member Brad Rupert reminded the public about the district’s use of confidentiality for the process.

“I’d like to remind the public that to some extent we don’t make the rules on this process,” Rupert said.

“Many of the candidates we will be talking to already have excellent jobs and they don’t want to alienate themselves from that job. So there is some need for confidentiality.”

The district’s 2014 choice of superintendent was Dan McMinimee, who was approved on a 3-2 vote. McMinimee served three years.

The Jeffco school board voted Jan. 12 to not renew his contract, which was to expire in July, and begin a search for a new superintendent.

In March, McMinimee stepped down from his position as active superintendent of Jeffco Schools and took on an advisory position.

He announced earlier this month that he would be taking the superintendent position with the New America School network of schools for the Denver Metro Area, beginning July 1.

ABOUT THIS SECTION Late spring and summer bring a wealth of activities and events to the Denver metro area.

Consider all of this: • Miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.

• State parks, including Roxborough, Chatfield and Cherry Creek.

• Annual family-friendly events that draw thousands of people. Those include Parker Days, Western Welcome Week, Buffalo Bill Days, the Arvada Harvest Festival, the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival and Westy Fest.

But sometimes — especially as the weather warms up and the days get longer — you just want to get out of town. Colorado has a multitude of welcoming destinations, and we explore some of them in this section.

Some of the destinations in this section are just on the outskirts of the metro area. One of those nearby spots is Estes Park, where you might see an elk or two and can stay at a worldfamous hotel.

If you want a longer road trip, consider Telluride. It’s about a sevenhour drive, but you’ll still be in the beautiful state of Colorado.

Maybe such a trip will become an annual tradition for your family, one to join the county fair outings and those long summer bike rides.

Aspen

Durango

ELEVATION: 7,908

ELEVATION: 6,512

WHERE IS IT? Most Denver-area road trippers go west on I-70 to Glenwood Springs, then turn southeast on State Highway 82, altogether a trip of about four hours. In the summer, consider going through Leadville to Twin Lakes, then over stunning Independence Pass.

NEED TO KNOW: Though typically thought of as the domain of the jet set, Aspen’s got a lot to offer regular folk as well. The Aspen Music Festival and School hosts hundreds of live musical performances though the summer. The free Aspen Art Museum, housed in a daring structure that looks a bit like a wicker basket, houses a bevy of striking pieces.

More adventurous visitors might consider a hike to Conundrum Hot Springs, a clothing-optional geothermal spring accessible by an eight-mile trail south of town.

PLACES TO GO written by David Gilbert

Aspen went through several incarnations before it became some of the most expensive real estate on the planet. Before World War II, Aspen’s population had dwindled to less than a thousand. In the 1970s, counterculture icons like Hunter S. Thompson and John Denver popularized Aspen as a funky, bohemian colony.

MORE INFORMATION: www.aspenpitkin.com

WHERE IS IT? The quickest way is down Highway 285, turning west at Del Norte on Highway 160. The most beautiful way is Highway 285, turning west at Poncha Springs, west on Highway 50 to Montrose, then south on Highway 550 – the Million Dollar Highway, a spectacular wend along the shoulder of giant mountains.

NEED TO KNOW: Durango is uniquely situated between the desert of the Four Corners region and the mountains of the igneous San Juans. Mesa Verde National Park, with its ancient and mysterious ruins, is just down the road.

The Durango and Silverton Railroad heads north out of town through magnificent scenery. Little-known Navajo Lake is 50 miles southeast, straddling the New Mexico border, where a bevy of boat rentals can be had.

FUN FACT: Hike back to Denver on the Colorado Trail – the south end is in Durango, the north in Waterton Canyon.

Fun fact: The original name of the Animas River that runs through town was the Rio de las Animas Perdidas – the River of Lost Souls.

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

There are several gorgeous routes into Estes Park, though the most common is to take Highway 36 northwest out of Boulder. It’s about an hour and a half from Denver. The Peak to Peak Highway, a more scenic route, departs from Golden and goes through Nederland.

North of Denver on I-25 by about an hour and a half. If you hit the Wyoming border, you’ve gone too far – or you’re headed to buy fireworks.

NEED TO KNOW: There are few better jumping-off points to experience Colorado’s high alpine tundra during its brief summer than Estes Park. Trail Ridge Road, which traverses the crest of the Rockies through Rocky Mountain National Park, starts just outside of town. About 11 miles of the road are above timberline. The park is loaded with world-class hiking, views, wildlife and natural splendor.

Though quite a bit less remote than the 1980 horror movie “The Shining” made it out to be, the stately old Stanley Hotel offers late-night ghost tours to guests, though they are asked to refrain from hacking open doors with fire axes.

FUN FACT: For years, the death toll from the 1976 Big Thompson flood that swept through the canyon to the east of Estes was listed as 144, until in 2008, supposed victim Darrell Johnson was found to be alive and well, living in Oklahoma. It turned out he had decided to ditch a crummy cabin rental without telling anyone, and was presumed dead when the cabin was washed away.

NEED TO KNOW: Fort Collins teems with old-school charm, from the restored trolley that clatters between City Park and College Avenue to the quirky shops in Old Town. Stop at Walrus Ice Cream on Mountain Avenue for a root beer float made with Coopersmith’s Root Beer, or at the Silver Grill Café for gooey cinnamon roll French toast.

West of town, head up Poudre Canyon to see the strange folded granite of northern Colorado. The Mishawaka Amphitheatre holds concerts by the river all summer.

No visit would be complete without a tour of the New Belgium Brewery.

FUN FACT: Horsetooth Reservoir, on the west side of town, submerged the town of Stout when it was filled in 1949. Legend has it that the town’s old stone buildings are still standing deep beneath the surface.

MORE INFORMATION: visitftcollins.com

West on I-70, just shy of three hours.

NEED TO KNOW: Glenwood Springs has long been known for the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, a massive geothermal soaking pool alleged to have healing properties. Same with the Yampah Spa & Salon, featuring naturally occurring “vapor caves” filled with minerals that some say can cure a range of ailments.

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, largely perched atop a mountaintop at the edge of town, features zip lines, a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and giant swings that fling visitors over the abyss below.

Get someone else to drive on the way into town, so you can gawk at Glenwood Canyon.

FUN FACT: Doc Holliday, the Old West gunfighter, died in a Glenwood Springs hospital in 1887. Holliday had always figured he’d “die with his boots on,” and his last words – while looking at his bare feet – were “This is funny.”

Grand Lake ELEVATION: 8,369 FEET WHERE IS IT?

Go west out of Denver on I-70, then north on Highway 40 west of Idaho Springs. Turn north on Highway 34 at Granby.

NEED TO KNOW:

Grand Lake is Colorado’s largest natural body of water, and boating, sailing and fishing abound.

The town of Grand Lake, on the lake’s north shore, boasts a boardwalk with dozens of shops and restaurants. The Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre hosts musicals all summer – this season’s lineup includes “Mamma Mia!”, “Newsies,” “West Side Story” and “Almost Heaven.”

Hit up one of the many boat-rental outfits to head out on the lake – local marinas rent everything from paddle boards to pontoon party boats.

FUN FACT:

Though on the western side of the Continental Divide, Grand Lake provides water to the Front Range via the Alva B. Adams Tunnel.

Grand Junction ELEVATION: 4,583 FEET WHERE IS IT?

Due west on I-70, about four hours. Can’t miss it.

NEED TO KNOW:

The undisputed capital of the Western Slope, GJ (as the locals call it) is the hub of desert adventure. Colorado National Monument is just west of town, featuring landscapes of spires and cliffs.

Main Street between First and Seventh streets is

a lovely walk of quirky shops and good eats. Stroll a block south on Fifth to check out the top-notch Museum of the West. Venture south of town to journey onto the Uncompahgre Plateau, a vivacious landscape of canyons. East takes you up Grand Mesa, to fab fishing in 10,000 lakes. West goes deep into the Colorado River Canyons.

North is no-man’s-land.

And, of course, there are the wineries in town and in nearby towns, like Palisade, which is also known for its peaches.

FUN FACT:

Peter Heller’s 2012 post-apocalyptic novel “The Dog Stars” is largely set in and around the ruins of Grand Junction.

MORE INFORMATION: visitgrandjunction.com

Great Sand Dunes National Park ELEVATION: 7,520 TO 13,604 FEET WHERE IS IT?

The easy way is south on I-25, turning west on Highway 160 at Walsenburg, then north into the park. The prettier way is down Highway 285, turning off onto Highway 17 at the north end of the San Luis Valley.

NEED TO KNOW:

The tallest dunes in North America, the Great Sand Dunes cover 80 square miles of the valley floor. Close to Memorial Day, visitors can experience Medano Creek, a temporary stream that flows in successive waves. Intrepid trekkers can head up into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for some stunning scenery.

Places to go ALSO IN THE AREA: Crestone, a lost-in-time hippie village, and Colorado Gators, a geothermal outpost home to some massive reptiles. South of the park is Sand Dunes Swimming Pool, a geothermally heated pool and greenhouse with low-cost rental cabins.

FUN FACT:

Legend has it that mysterious web-footed horses roam the dunes in the moonlight.

Telluride ELEVATION: 8,750 FEET WHERE IS IT?

Go west on I-70 to Grand Junction, then south on Highway 50 to Ridgway. Go west on State Highway 62 to Placerville, then east on State Highway 145. At roughly seven hours from Denver, it’s about as out of the way as a Colorado town gets.

galleries and gourmet restaurants on Colorado Avenue, but for a bird’s-eye view, check out the gondola to Mountain Village – a free, 13-minute ride to a mountaintop town featuring eye-popping views.

The other joy of summer in Telluride is access to the high country of the San Juan Mountains, teeming with waterfalls and ghost towns. Coming into Telluride from the east are two of the West’s most famous four-wheel-drive roads: Imogene Pass and Black Bear Pass, the latter dropping precariously into town with a spine-tingling descent down a series of unforgiving switchbacks.

FUN FACT:

The summit of Imogene Pass – more than 13,000 feet high – is home to a restored Colorado National Guard installation called Fort Peabody, which was built in 1904 to keep deported striking miners from sneaking back into town.

Vail

Woodland Park

ELEVATION: 8,022 FEET

ELEVATION: 8,465 FEET

WHERE IS IT?

Due west on I-70 about 2 ½ hours from Denver.

NEED TO KNOW:

Though the town’s name is synonymous with skiing, Vail is loads of fun in the summer as well. Events abound. The Bravo!

Vail Music Festival will run from June 22 to Aug. 4 this year, featuring chamber, classical and jazz performances. The Vail International Dance Festival will run from July 29 to Aug. 12, and boasts top-notch dance talent from around the globe.

The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, showcase all manner of high elevation plants in a variety of settings, crowned by a 120-foot waterfall.

FUN FACT:

Vail was founded in the early 1960s by a group of World War II 10th Mountain Division veterans who fell in love with the area while training at nearby Camp Hale in the war years.

WHERE IS IT? Head northwest out of Colorado Springs on Highway 24, about 20 miles from I-25.

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, take the back way through Deckers.

NEED TO KNOW: The hot new thing in Woodland Park is the Dinosaur Resource Center, a handson kid-friendly dinotopia featuring more than 30 skeletons and “life restorations.”

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is 15 miles west of town, home to fossilized redwood tree stumps and displays of some of the exquisite fossils found in the area. Rangers host night sky programs several times through the summer, taking advantage of the glorious night skies.

The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, 10 miles west of town, offers a variety of tours to meet the center’s resident lobos.

FUN FACT: At nearly 8,500 feet above sea level, Woodland Park’s average July high temperature is only 74 – the perfect place to beat summer heat within easy reach of the big city.

Faceoffs are where it all begins Valor Christian sophomore Eric Pacheco controls a faceoff against Ponderosa sophomore Andy Bauer during an April 11 game at EchoPark Automotive Stadium.

Pacheco claims winning faceoffs in high school is about efficiency.

Techniques to gain possession have huge influence on outcome in boys lacrosse

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It might not look like a game of rock-paper-scissors when two players trot to the center of the field for a faceoff in boys lacrosse, but that’s a complicated form of what it is.

The player who has the better plan to counter the other player’s move and is able to execute usually is the winner.

And winning faceoffs is crucial to a team’s success. Teams face off at the start of the game, the beginning of each quarter and after every goal is scored.

“Possession is a big part of the game,” Bear Creek coach Issac Nelson-Garner said.

A faceoff starts with two players crouched with their sticks lying horizontally on each side of the midfield line. The ball is place between the head of each stick and the butt-end pointing down the midfield line. Once the whistle is blown, each

LEADING THE WAY The top boys faceoff percentage leaders from area schools, through games of April 20: • Nick Pacheco, Valor: .786 • Ryan Stewart, Cherry Creek: .780 • Brett Boos, Chaparral: .747 • Eric Pacheco, Valor: .722 • Mike Madayag, Golden: .719 • JT Simonton, Cherry Creek: .716 • Duke Hindman, Littleton: .713 •Shawn Casebolt, Lakewood: .694 • Alex Fielding, Heritage: .647 player fights for the ball in an effort to gain possession.

“Winning face offs is a mixture of power and speed,” ThunderRidge senior Brett Naves said. “If you’re faster than the other guy, you can win, but if you are stronger than the other guy, you can also win. So it’s kind of like a rock-paper-scissors match.”

Basic faceoff techniques include the clamp, jam and rake. The clamp can be neutralized by a jam. The rake usually loses to the clamp but the rake can beat the jam.

“I start with the clamp, but if I’m getting beat with a clamp I usually like to switch it up and try jumping him,” Ponderosa sophomore Andy Bauer said.

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES Basic moves used by players taking faceoffs in boys lacrosse.

Clamp: A player using the clamp quickly moves his wrists over so the pocket of the lacrosse stick is clamped down on the ball before the opponent can do so.

Jam: The jam is a move where the stick is punched over the ball to block the opponent from any access. It is a defensive move to gain possession of the ball instead of creating a fast break.

Rake: The rake is when the player moves his stick under the jam before the opponent gains possession. The ball is usually raked away from the opposing faceoff specialist.

Jump: Used to counter almost any move by picking up the head of the stick and pushing it forward over the ball, with the stick usually under the stick of the opponent.

Punch: A move to counter the jump where the ball is punched with the stick forward to be scooped up.

Sources: www.coachup.com; Stack. com; blog.comlax.com/nation/articles/ thelacrosse-faceoff A jump is when a player holds down the stick of the opponent who has clamped. A player using the clamp quickly moves his wrists over SEE LACROSSE, P33

JEFFCO STANDOUT PERFORMERS Michael Thorne, baseball, sophomore, Faith Christian: He didn’t have an at bat during the 19-3 win over SkyView Academy on April 20 but he walked four times, scored four runs and stole three bases.

Laryssa Hamblen, soccer, sophomore, D’Evelyn: Hamblen scored three of the Jaguars’ four goals in a

4-0 shutout of Green Mountain on April 21. Hamblen extended her goal scoring streak to eight games.

Maddie DeHerrera, soccer, sophomore, Ralston Valley: She scored three goals and wound up with seven points in the Mustangs’ 6-0 triumph over Bear Creek on April 17.

Dominic Baca, track, senior, Alam-

eda: He fashioned a time of 54.31 to win the 800 meters on April 18 at the Clear Creek Frontier League meet.

Megan McGriff, lacrosse, sophomore, Bear Creek: McGriff scored three goals on seven shots and picked up 11 ground balls in the Bears’ 10-4 win over Wheat Ridge on April 20.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Pushing through the pain can pay off

hile talking with Jack Huber, I could only think about how it takes a few steps to get everything working after sitting for a while and how things I used to be able to easily do are now harder.

And I’ve never had a OVERTIME major injury.

Jack Huber, a senior wrestler and football player at ThunderRidge, has undergone surgeries for injuries to his shoulder, knees and chest.

Despite pain plus long rehabilitation stints, he kept grinding and qualiJim Benton fied for the state wrestling tournament three straight seasons. He finished fifth at 182 pounds in the 2017 Class 5A tournament.

“The injuries started my sophomore year,” he said. “I had to decide if I wanted to keep doing this because of all the money spent for the surgeries, and it was painful.

I decided to stick it out, one more year, one more time.”

Huber signed a letter of intent to wrestle at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo during an April 27 signing ceremony at ThunderRidge. He will join his brother Joe on the Mustangs’ wrestling team. Joe Huber was a 2015 Ponderosa High graduate.

“A year ago, I didn’t know if I would be able to wrestle,” Jack said. “I didn’t know with the surgery if it was going to work. I feel good now. I feel normal again.”

No mercy for boys volleyball bid Boys volleyball took a called third strike at the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council meeting on April 20.

The club-level Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association and the CHSAAsanctioned Tri-Peaks League prepared a proposal requesting that boys volleyball be sanctioned as a two-classification spring sport.

But, for the third time in recent years, a bid to have the sport sanctioned was denied when 54 percent of the 72-member council voted to not even open the classification and League Organizing Committee report for consideration.

Also at the meeting, a mercy rule for all levels of boys and girls basketball was considered by the council and approved by a 59-11 vote. If a team has a 35-point lead after three quarters, a running clock will start and only stop for timeouts, injuries and free throws.

In hockey action, Chaparral and Woodland Park will be added as new teams for the 2017-18 season.

so the back of the head is clamped down on the ball before the opponent. The jam is a move where the head and shaft are punched over the ball to block the opponent from any access. The rake is when the player moves his stick under the jam before it can disable him.

“You have to have the right body and special muscles. You need special reflexes and you need more shoulder power to press and you need good foot movement,” Wheat Ridge sophomore Tanner Spirek said.

But physical attributes just might be secondary.

“The most important quality for a faceoff player is competiveness,” Littleton coach Andrew Paredes said. “If that player has a refuse-to-lose attitude, he will fight and scrap for every loose ball and win them more often than he loses them.”

Paredes also points out that, as in hockey, other players need to be involved in gaining possession following a faceoff.

“An excellent faceoff unit can control the game for its team,” Parades said.

“While the faceoff player himself is the central part of that unit, the three players combined really make a difference.

There will be games when your faceoff

player wins most of the balls himself.”

Good faceoff players are specialists and FOGO (faceoff and get off) has become a revered position.

Valor Christian sophomore Eric Pacheco is one of the state’s top faceoff specialists.

“At the high school level, everyone is really an elite faceoff guy,” said Eric Pacheco, whose senior brother Nick also takes faceoffs. “You are not really going to run into anyone with faster hands or quicker reaction time. It’s more about efficiency. Nick and I really work to be efficient on faceoffs. We work on not having wasted movements and being technical.”

Chaparral junior Brett Boos is second in the state in winning faceoff percentage and leads in ground balls.

But he also plays some as a defensive midfielder. In a recent game against Ponderosa, he won 15 of 19 faceoffs by pushing the ball downfield and picked up six ground balls.

“Quickness and strength are the keys to winning faceoffs,” he said.

“And ground balls help the team keep possession.”

A winning faceoff percentage can usually be traced to winning teams. Once a team scores, wins a faceoff, keeps possession and has another chance to score, it often leads to scoring sprees.

“If you don’t have the ball,” Valor coach John Grant Jr. said, “you can’t score.”

Green Mountain baseball gets bounce-back win over Wheat Ridge Wheat Ridge senior Carlos Shippley forces out the sliding Green Mountain senior Brody Bettis during a Class 4A Jeffco League game April 17. Shippley went 4-for-4 from the plate for the Farmers, but it wasn’t enough as the Rams won 11-6.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — Nobody is perfect, including Green Mountain’s baseball team after suffering its first loss of the season April 15.

Despite the Rams (12-2, 4-2 in Class 4A Jeffco League) suffering its first setback of the season against defending 4A state champion Valor Christian, Green Mountain stayed at No. 5 in the CHSAANow.com 4A baseball rankings last week.

More importantly then holding steady in the state rankings, Green Mountain got back in the win column April 17 with an 11-6 victory over conference rival Wheat Ridge (8-6, 2-4) on the Farmers’ home field.

“You never know how kids are going to respond to their first getting kicked in the teeth a little bit,” Green Mountain coach Brad Madden said. “They bounced back well against a really good Wheat Ridge baseball team.”

Green Mountain sealed the win with a 5-run top of the sixth inning after the Farmers had to go to their bullpen.

Sophomore pitcher Aaron Arcilise came in with a 4-2 record and two saves, battled through five innings.

Wheat Ridge’s defense had its struggles with Arcilise on the hill. The Farmers had three errors in the first four innings.

“Arcilise wasn’t as sharp as he has been, but I bet we booted three pretty

sure fired double-play balls,” Wheat Ridge coach Adam Miller said. “That led to multiple runs. We just couldn’t snap out of it.”

Green Mountain finished with a dozen hits. Eight of nine starters had hits. Dylan Jacob, Thomas Lyall and Sage Schaller combined for six hits and six RBI. “We wanted to get to their bullpen as quick as possible,” said Green Mountain junior JD Wadleigh who picked up his fifth victory on the mound for the Rams. “We wanted to get to their thinner area of pitching.”

Luke Kuberski and Schaller both had 2-run singles in the big top of the sixth inning for the Rams. Senior Matthew Ramirez capped off the inning with an RBI triple to put Green Mountain up 11-4.

“You fight some mistakes with your young kids. You hope your seniors guys kind of leads the way. That really didn’t happen today,” Miller said.

“Hopefully you have a short memory and we are back at it on Wednesday.”

A bright spot for the Farmers was senior Carlos Shippley. The second baseman went 4-for-4 and was just a home run short of the cycle. Shippley scored three times and knocked in three runs.

“He (Shippley) was great. Carlos competes, that’s the thing. He never gives in and competes to the last out.

He has the right mindset,” Miller said.

“If you give me 10 of Carlos I’d take them in a heartbeat.”

Wheat Ridge had a rough rest of its week losing to Golden and Valor. The Farmers will likely land in the bottom

half for the 4A Jeffco League tournament that beings Saturday, April 29.

Jacob, the Rams’ starting third baseman, has a loaded schedule last week.

Jacob was Green Mountain’s starter quarterback this fall in the football field, played basketball in the winter is now juggling baseball and swimming for the Rams this spring.

Friday night he had prelims for the Jeffco Invite at Meyers Pool. On Saturday morning he went 1-for-3 from the plate with an RBI in a 7-1 victory against Evergreen and then head back to Meyers Pool for the finals of the Jeffco Invite.

“This is one of my busier weeks.

It should be a lot of fun,” said Jacob, who will play football at Western State Colorado University next fall. “It keeps me out of trouble as I like to say.

I’m always staying busy. It’s just great to grind with the two sports and put it all together.”

The top two teams in the final 4A Jeffco standings earn automatic bids to the postseason. RPI points will determine the remainder of the 32-team playoff field. Valor, Green Mountain, Golden, Wheat Ridge and Evergreen were all within the top 32 in the 4A RPI standings heading into this week.

Wheat Ridge is getting Lucky’s A rendering of the proposed sign for The Corners at Wheat Ridge development, which just announced that Lucky’s Market would be the property’s anchor tenant. COURTESY

BY ANDREA W. DORAY SPECIAL FOR COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Lucky’s Market, a Boulder-based natural foods grocer, will anchor a redevelopment project on the southwest corner of Wadsworth Blvd. and 38th Avenue next year. The project, named “The Corners at Wheat Ridge” is slated to open spring 2018.

Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff describes The Corners at Wheat Ridge as a neighborhood development featuring multifamily housing, coffee shops, retail and restaurants.

“We’re pleased to have locally owned company Lucky’s Market as an anchor,” says Goff. “We believe they will attract new and different shoppers to the area, and also help provide redevelopment opportunities for existing retail centers.”

Sam Yujiri lives a few blocks west of 38th and Wadsworth Boulevard.

“I’m excited,” Yujiri said about the announcement. “I like change and I think this development will bring more business and more commerce to Wheat Ridge.”

According to Kristen Tetrik, director

of marketing and community impact for the grocer, Lucky’s Market believes in making natural foods more accessible, including fresh produce and “never ever” meats that contain no antibiotics or artificial growth hormones, as well as a full bakery free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.

Tetrik also cites the company’s community impact programs such as ‘Bags for Change.’ “Customers with reusable

bags receive a wooden dime for each one used, which they can keep or donate to local nonprofit organizations.

Each quarter, we double the amount raised,” says Tetrik. Other community impact programs include specific days in store dedicated to local nonprofits, and “10% for Good.”

“When you purchase our private label products, 10 percent of the profits are reinvested back into the community,” says Tetrik.

Lucky’s Market was founded in Boulder in 2003 by former chefs Bo and Trish Sharon. Now with 24 stores nationwide, Lucky’s Market has been referred to as the fastest-growing small grocery-store business in the U.S. “I’m looking forward to getting healthy food and specialty items that are more affordable,” says Patti Archer, who lives in Westminster but works near the corner of Wadsworth Blvd. and 44th Ave. “I think any time there is competition, the consumer benefits. It’s also nice to see small business succeed.”

Tetrik says Lucky’s Market is eager to become part of the Wheat Ridge community.

“People have been asking us to open a Lucky’s Market in Denver for years, and we’re thrilled to expand in our home state of Colorado, as well as support local farmers and producers,” says Tetrik. “Plus, we believe grocery shopping should be fun, not a chore.”

In a similar redevelopment project, the city saw a Sprouts grocery store anchor a redevelopment of the southwest corner of 38th Avenue and Kipling Street in 2015.
