The children of Littleton were left to their own devices—or more accurately, left without them—during the annual games of old during Western Welcome Week on Aug. 13 on the grass at Arapahoe Community College. No tablets or smartphones here, just stick-horse riding, potato-sack racing and other activities that didn’t require a download or plug-in.

Suspect arrested in shooting at Cherry Creek State Park

A 29-year-old man was arrested this week on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection to a fatal shooting last weekend in Cherry Creek State Park, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office announced.

Joseph Wayne Washington was arrested Aug. 15 with assistance from Aurora police.

The shooting occurred just before 7:20 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13 near the west boat ramp, north of the park entrance on East Union Avenue. The victim, who had not been identified at press time, died at a nearby hospital.

It remained unclear what happened before shots were fired. A suspect was reported to have fled the scene on foot, according to initial reports.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 303-795-4711. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).

Arapahoe County sheriff fully rescinds open-burning ban The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has fully rescinded an open-burning ban that had been in effect for unincorporated areas east of Gun Club Road since early July.

Current moisture has lowered wildfire potential, Sheriff David Walcher determined last week.

The ban had already been lifted for Centennial and unincorporated areas west of Gun Club.

The sheriff’s office still advises caution as residents resume using open fires. Grasses and other fuels can dry out quickly and pose a threat to rapid fire spread.

“Please refrain from burning during windy conditions and have a readily available water supply,” the sheriff’s Aug. 9 announcement said.

Those considering open burns should check with their local fire department for district-specific permits related to burning.

Cunningham Fire Protection awarded second international accreditation

Cunningham Fire Protection District has received Accredited Agency status for the second time with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International for meeting the criteria established through its voluntary self-assessment and accreditation program. Cunningham is one of 238 agencies to achieve Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI and the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

CFAI is dedicated to assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world in achieving excellence through self-assessment and accreditation in order to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of service delivery to their communities. The CFAI process is voluntary and provides an agency with an im-

provement model to assess their service delivery and performance internally and then works with a team of peers from other agencies to evaluate their completed self- assessment.

Fire Chief Jerry Rhodes said the agency’s achievement of Accredited Agency status “demonstrates the commitment of the agency to provide the highest quality of service to our community.”

Rhodes also said, “We have also been able to use the Commission on Fire Accreditation International’s process as a proactive mechanism to plan for the future of this agency and locate areas where we can improve the quality of the services we provided.”

During the on-site evaluation this spring, the Peer Assessment Team reviewed all

Remembering Flanders Fields President Trump has visited France and participated in Bastille Day. The history of France, the great Napoleonic Wars and their revolution is fascinating history. All the revolutionaries eventually were beheaded, along with the royalty.

We have never fought a war against France, except for a few early-day French-Indian tradingpost conflicts in the New World. The French were instrumental in supplying arms and supplies to our Revolutionary army fighting the British. Benjamin Franklin, who spent many years living in France, was able to get our American forces thousands of rifles from the French, who never had a liking for the British Empire.

America, in gratitude and relentless belief in freedom against tyranny, has sent armies to French and Belgium soil during two World War occasions, winning both conflicts. Thousands of American soldiers are still buried on French soil in national cemeteries.

In the fifth grade in my elementary school in Craig, my teacher Lelia Leggett, a crusty well-educated ranch wife from Baggs, Wyo., had us memorize two poems.

The first, “Casey At, The Bat,” and the second, “In Flanders Fields.”

In memory of our military veterans,

Mrs. Leggett and all teachers who teach and preserve history, what follows below is one of the nation’s finest poems. During the early days of the second Battle of Ypres, a young Canadian artillery officer, Lt. Alexis Helmer, was killed on May 2, 1915 in the gun position near Ypres, Belgium. An exploding German artillery shell landed near him.

He was serving in the same Canadian artillery unit as a friend of his, the Canadian military doctor and artillery commander Maj. John McCrae.

As the brigade doctor, McCrae was asked to conduct the burial service for Alexis because the chaplain had been called away somewhere else on duty that evening. It is believed that later that evening, after the burial, he began the draft for his now famous poem.

Trump’s implicit support for white-nationalist terrorist groups must stop President Trump’s failure to not specifically condemn the actions of the racist organizations that precipitated the violent white-supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Va. is problematic. Last week, he continued to imply a level of tepid support for the racist and anti-government behavior on the University of Virginia campus that ultimately resulted in the death of a 32-year-old woman by Ohio white supremacist, James Alex Fields.

These alt-right white supremacists continue to hold sway with several senior White House advisers, including Steve Bannon. Trump seems reluctant to directly condemn the violent racist and anti-Semitic behavior of the many whitesupremacist groups that descended on to the University of Virginia to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The motive of these groups, many carrying assault rifles, was to stage a violent protest. That culminated in the killing of one counter-protester and seriously injured 19 others.

The president is also unwilling to call this type of violent behavior “domestic terrorism.”

There are several recent examples of Trump’s support of violence against protesters at his campaign rallies and more recently his calling of policemen to “rough up” suspects being arrested.

With Trump’s approval rating hovering around 37 percent, he needs to continue to support these white-nationalist and anti-Semitic groups to prop up his withering base of support.

However, it is now time for Trump to look deeply into his soul and accept the fact that his embracing of a hateful ideology that moves individuals to act violently to those of a different race, religion or gender has no place in this democratic society.

Trump’s promise to unite America, not to divide it, has not been kept. He must now stop being one who divides us and work on bringing us back together. That is the only way to make us stronger in this challenging time.

Highlands Ranch teen gets five years for plan to shoot up high school A 17-year-old Highlands Ranch girl was sentenced last week to five years in youth correction after pleading guilty in a plot against her fellow students at Mountain Vista High School.

Sienna Johnson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder for her plans for a mass shooting. She pleaded guilty in adult court to felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon.

“When something like this surfaces, it has to be treated seriously, as it was in this case,” Douglas County Judge Paul King said. “Plenty of people have tough home lives and they don’t have thoughts of mass murder.”

Johnson was arrested in December 2015 for her role and has been in custody ever since. Her sentence does not include credit

for time served. It will be followed by four years of supervised probation. If her probation is not successful, Johnson would face up to another six years in prison.

“This agreement strikes the balance of making sure the community is safe, but not throwing away the key on Sienna,” prosecutor Jason Siers said. “We want her to be successful. But it was a horribly serious case, and we have to have accountability.”

The adult felony conviction will remain on Johnson’s criminal record.

In a statement, District Attorney George Brauchler said the sentence would give Johnson a legitimate chance at a future while ensuring the community is safe.

“This was no joke or fantasy. This was outrageous behavior demanding of a high level of accountability. The supervision involved gives the juvenile defendant the greatest chance of rehabilitation,” he said.

veterans issues. He recently introduced the Veteran Urgent Access to Mental Healthcare Act, bipartisan legislation that recently passed the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs with unanimous support.

It seeks to give combat veterans with “other-thanhonorable” discharges, as well as military sexual-as-

sault victims, direct access to Veterans Affairs mental healthcare services. The bill also calls for the VA secretary to establish a formal character-of-service determination process. Additionally, Coffman is cited for having sponsored the Fairness for Veterans Act, which offers hope to veterans discharged by the mili-

tary with OTH discharges.

Coffman is the only sitting member of Congress to have served in both Iraq wars. He has one of the most diverse military backgrounds in Congress, having brought his 21 years of military experience to both the House Armed Services Committee and the Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

What healthcare can learn from United Airlines Obamacare repeal and replace is going nowhere, despite seven years of promises

by Republican members of Congress. For the foreseeable future, it will remain the law of the land, along with rising insurance premiums and deductibles and fewer plans to choose from. It’s worth remembering the next time someone asks you for money to support Republican incumbents.

What if the airline industry could light the runway toward fixing one of the more onerous aspects of Obamacare?

United Airlines has done just that. I don’t mean dragging patients out of hospitals and doctors’ offices as United did earlier this year on an airplane—a physician no less. Instead, United now offers a lower cost option for air travel. Let’s apply it to healthcare.

United recently began offering “basic economy” fares, a lower cost option, compared to its “standard economy” fare. Suppose healthcare insurance companies did the same.

Obamacare requires that all insurance plans cover 10 “essential benefits.” Some of these are common sense, including outpatient, hospital and emergency care. Others are beneficial to only some people—pregnancy, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance-abuse treatment, and pediatric services.

A 60-year-old man doesn’t need or want pregnancy coverage. A middle-aged couple with adult children can pass on pediatric coverage. A teetotaler won’t want alcoholrehab insurance. But all are forced to purchase this insurance they neither want nor need. That’s like making Coloradans purchase hurricane insurance.

United recognized that not all its passengers want the benefits that go along with the higher-standard economy fare. Instead, they offer travelers the option of a lower cost fare with fewer perks. For example, standard fares earn miles toward premier status on United, whereas basic fares do

not. For frequent flyers looking to achieve higher premier status, this may be important. Not so for infrequent travelers or those who typically fly another airline. Why make them pay for it?

Another difference is that the basic fare doesn’t allow passengers to choose their seats or sit with their travel companions, unlike the standard fare. For a short flight, if you don’t care where you sit and are OK with your travel companion sitting in a different row, why not save your money?

The idea is that United is givBY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH ing passengers a choice, offering an alternative to their more expensive fares, the airline equivalent of “essential benefits.” If passengers don’t want or need expensive perks, why not let them opt out and pay less?

An amendment along these lines was proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz during the recent Senate debate on Obamacare repeal and replace.

His idea was that insurance companies could sell pared-down, less expensive plans, as long as they also sold at least one plan that provided all the benefits.

For United, that would mean they could sell basic economy fares if they still sold standard economy, economy-plus and firstclass tickets. Common sense.

How absurd that the government should tell a business what it can and cannot sell, forcing consumers to purchase what the government commands. United, instead, is offering a discounted fare with fewer benefits that is better able to meet the needs and pocketbooks of many of its travelers.

This could be a stand-alone piece of legislation. Perhaps along with a law requiring Congress and their staffs to purchase Obamacare plans. A simple way to ameliorate one of the more bothersome aspects of Obamacare. Not the repeal and replace we were promised, but at least some relief for Americans struggling to afford ever more costly Obamacare insurance.

Taking the temperature on ‘workplace wellness’ It’s our responsibility as employers to provide [employees] with an experience that helps them develop and get where they want to grow.

Award-winning ‘chief people officer’ engages South Metro Chamber

Look no further than Jeff Buenrostro’s business card to realize Metric Theory has a different theory on the metrics of doing business.

Ever hear of a chief people officer before?

“Your main job is to listen, to answer the right questions that you don’t know the answers to, and listen to your employees’ responses—and that’s going to guide everything that you do,” Buenrostro told members of the South Metro Denver Chamber on Aug. 9.

The CPO must be doing something right. His digital marketing agency, with offices in Denver, San Francisco and New York, recently made Denver Business Journal’s list of the city’s Best Places to Work, and has received the newspaper’s Workplace Wellness award, as well as an assortment of similar recognition from Advertising Age and Entrepreneur magazines. “[A healthy office means] everything from providing a space that is mentally challenging to a place that focuses on health and wellness and happiness, but also working on emotional awareness and interpersonal dynamics,” the 30-something CPO said.

To clarify, Metric Theory’s stock and trade is still mar-

Cherry Creek North food & wine winners announced

On Saturday, August 12, 17 restaurants represented the best of Cherry Creek North dining during the 9th Annual Cherry Creek North Food & Wine event.

The restaurants, all located in Cherry Creek North and renowned for their service, culinary options and quality, competed for the titles of Best of Show, Best Dessert, Best Table Décor and People’s Choice.

A group of independent jurors determined the following restaurants to take home the 2017 Best Of awards.

Best of Show – Quality Italian Best Dessert – Departure Best Table Décor – Quality Italian Food & Wine attendees were also given the opportunity to vote for their favorite restaurant. Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar took home the People’s Choice Award.

All participating restaurants donated their time and resources to partake in the Food & Wine event. Beverage tastings were provided by local beverage partners, Stranahan’s, Wynkoop Brewing Company and The Vineyard Wine Shop.

Jeff Buenrostro, chef people officer of Denver’s Metric Theory, speaks to business leaders last week at the South Metro Denver Chamber. The millennial-driven digital marketing agency recently made Denver Business Journal’s list of the Best Places to Work.

Photo by Peter Jones keting, not self-help. The firm boasts 85 employees, represents more than 230 clients and is entrusted with spending more than $130 million in web-optimized advertising every year.

Even so, to hear Buenrostro tell it, Metric Theory’s bottom-line success is wedded to its holistic corporate climate, where a wide range of teambuilding exercises and a surprising culture of candor are part and parcel to a winwin vision for success.

“Employees choose to spend the vast majority of their waking hours at work, so I think it’s our responsibility as employers to provide them with an experience that helps them develop and get where they want to grow,” Buenrostro said.

Forget work-life balance, the CPO said. Metric Theory is all about work-life integration, meaning employees are actually encouraged to bring personal baggage to the office.

A 12-week program called En-

-Jeff Buenrostro, Metric Theory’s chief people officer gaged Management teaches supervisors how to redirect their workers’ stress, ensuring that the personal kind is recognized and the professional kind is clearly delineated.

“It’s really important for management to understand what lens you’re looking through, but also your coworkers … because that helps you interact more effectively and be more productive,” Buenrostro said.

Professional stress can also be a figment of the employee’s

own making, the CPO added.

“What we realize is we’re putting stress on ourselves.

It’s not external,” he said. “…

We’re in charge of our happiness. We’re in charge of our stress as well.”

The same apparatus, or “check-in circle,” was designed to nip all kinds of interpersonal problems in the bud before the powers that be ever have to even hear about them.

Other benefits include unlimited work-from-home sick leave, a way to prevent further illness in the office by empowering those who should not be there in the first place.

The same workers do not have to hide their external job searches in “sick time” either. When they are open about their desires, the company will negotiate a “social contract” to potentially find a way for the worker to reach their ambitions within the company. If that does not work out, Metric Theory will help the employee find their next “dream.”

“It creates this atmosphere where there’s no reason to lie,” Buenrostro said.

Most of Metric Theory’s workers have not had to get used to the unusual culture.

Most are between 22 and 27 and many are holding their first career jobs.

The idea is to hire ambitious “athletes” and set them loose.

“If you provide them with enough support, they will excel—if you hire the right people,” Buenrostro said.

Abbie Smith is at her desk just in time for the school bell.

Although the new communications director for Cherry Creek Schools joined one of the state’s largest and highestachieving school districts last month, she jumps in headfirst this week as students from across the expansive district return from the relative quiet of summer vacation.

As teachers dust off the now-onlyproverbial blackboard, it will be Smith’s way with words that communicates to the press and public about what happens from there.

Raised in Pittsburgh, the onetime education reporter is no stranger to the West or the Rocky Mountain state, in particular. She attended graduate school at the University of Colorado at Boulder and was an intern at The Denver Post before serving reporter stints at newspapers in Connecticut and northern California.

She comes to Cherry Creek from the Connecticut Department of Education, where she was communications director after a similar stint at New Haven Public Schools.

Smith, 38, a wife and mother to a toddler, now leads a department of seven, replac-

ing longtime communications chief Tustin Amole, who retired this summer after 18 years of telling the district’s story, from the feel-good to the marginally scandalous.

The Villager recently spoke with Smith about the job that lies ahead.

Villager: Why the move from journalism to public relations?

Smith: One of the things I really loved about being a journalist was being able to tell stories and convey some

the right support, they will be able to achieve great things.

Villager: Have you had a chance to visit any of the local schools yet?

Smith: I went to the first day of school at Pine Ridge Elementary School and got to meet the principal and some of the families. I try to be a very visual presence, so I plan to be out at community events, football games. Cherry Creek is a large district. I want to make sure I do a good job of really building relationships and getting to know the schools and the communities in every part of the district in a way that really tells the complete picture of Cherry Creek.

Villager: The goal is educating children. Does your role help serve that purpose somehow?

Smith: Communications and community engagement go hand in hand. I also think it’s important to really make sure we have strong lines of communication with our families, so there are ways we can support schools in strengthening their communication and build relationships with the community and potential partners. It also helps build a positive school culture by telling positive stories of what’s happening in our schools.

Villager: In your recent positions, have you ever felt a little too distant from the frontlines where the education is actually taking place?

Smith: It’s important to find ways to get into the schools to really remind ourselves why we’re doing this, and also to experience the joy.

It’s such a profoundly joyous experience to walk through a school where kids are excited to learn.

Villager: Do you plan on your daughter attending Cherry Creek?

Smith: I would love for my child to attend Cherry Creek Schools. She’s 2 and a half right now.

It’s important to find ways to get into the schools to really remind ourselves why we’re doing this, and also to experience the joy.

-Abbie Smith, Cherry Creek Schools’ communications director idea about society or about who we are. I think it’s really similar working at the school district, being able to really work closely with schools, with families, with students and teachers, to be able to tell the stories of the work that they’re doing. It really goes back to the simple art of storytelling.

Villager: What’s at the root of your passion for education?

Smith: For me, it’s really about this idea that education creates a vehicle for children to follow whatever dream they hold in their heart. If we have high expectations for our students that they will rise to that challenge and we give them the right tools and

Second-place winner Darlina’s work

The Gathering Place finds home for talent— in Cherry Creek North

Gathering among other people with a shared experience can sometimes bring out the budding artist in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

“They build you up spiritually—just saying that you can do it,” said Sevilla, whose recent burst of creativity hit canvass at the so-named Gathering Place, a Denver drop-in day center largely for women in poverty and their children.

“They treat you like family, no matter where you are in your life.”

Sevilla was one of five gatherers—or Gathering Place members—whose work adorned the walls of Fascination St. Fine Art in Cherry Creek North on Aug. 2 for “Painting Possibilities: An Evening of Art.” The fundraiser for the center’s Art Restart program saw three of the women earn cash prizes in what gallery owner Aaron LaPedis called a highly competitive process.

“It was not easy,” he said of the exacting selection and judging. “If you think everybody got in, no, they didn’t. They worked very hard.”

LaPedis said some of the artists, from an original pool of about 25, were asked to redo and resubmit to meet standards he demands for his gallery walls, regardless of the situation.

“For me to see these amazing women, with everything against them, create beautiful art, I’m in awe,” he said, noting some had experienced not just poverty, but homelessness and domestic abuse. “Art does transcend everything.

It transcends unhappiness.

It transcends bitterness.

It transcends hurt in the soul.”

Even so, why the preponderance of talented artists in a place of last hope?

Leslie Foster, president of the Gathering Place, had to think for a moment before answering.

“We put a really strong emphasis on helping people figure out what they’re good at, so the world is probably full of talented artists who don’t get a chance,” she said.

Artist Judy Anderson offered public critiques for each artist.

“There’s an original story behind all of them,” she said of Sharon’s work, which took the top prize of $250. “It’s not reflecting something she saw some other place. It’s [her] story, and what it does is create the opportunity for the audience or the viewer to read into it what happens.”

Half of all sales went to the artist. The other half went to Art Restart.

“It’s my mom baking bread. Sometimes it’s the home I lost.

Colorado Federation of Republican Women hit the jackpot when advisor to the CELL Greg Dobbs was named featured speaker at the organization’s annual luncheon at Valley Country Club.

The modest Dobbs has a resume that was too lengthy to read when District VI Director Barbara Piper made his introduction. Many may remember his remarkable career as an ABC News journalist for decades on World News, Nightline, 20/20 and Good Morning, America. His assignments varied from space

He won two Emmys, was nominated for more, and won the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists.

Locally, he was a radio talk show host for KOA and writes a column for The Denver Post.

Dobbs outlined the threats that might face us and options in the Middle East, Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. As we could all be victims, we need to be engaged. He mentioned the Community Action Program.

We can oppose terrorism by being aware, know who to report it to, and know how to help first-responders.

“Some are slow simmering threats,” Dobbs said. “It’s not the world it used to be. “The CELL (Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab) is dedicated to the prevention of terrorism.”

It is bipartisan, enjoying support from Larry Mize, and strong proponents include Gov. John Hickenlooper and John Elway.

Denver-area Panhellenic wins two awards at national conference National Panhellenic Conference recently recognized alumnae associations from 58 communities for their work to advance the sorority experience.

NPC is one of the largest advocacy organizations for women. An Alumnae Panhellenic is a community-based organization composed of members of NPC’s 26 member organizations. The purpose is to inform sorority women of trends, promote the sorority experience, improve the lifelong Panhellenic image and stimulate a continuing interest in related affairs.

Denver Area Panhellenic, under the leadership of 2016-2017 President Olinga Hargreaves, was recognized at the convention in Indianapolis with two awards: Citation of Merit and Programming Excellence.

Citation of Merit recognizes achievement by Alumnae Panhellenics in areas of spirit, undergraduate relations and recruitment information.

Unaffiliated voters make up the highest classification in the state at 36 percent and have traditionally had low participation in primaries, but that might change with a ballot in front of them.

Arapahoe County Republicans have made a strategic decision to target unaffiliated voters.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Annabelle is creepy fun

BY PAUL HALL CONTRIBUTOR Opens Aug. 11 The films released under the umbrella of The Conjuring universe have been creepy successes. They are the rare blend of scares and story, a higher level of horror frights. Now, with the new addition to that series, Annabelle: Creation, I’m happy to report we get more good creepy fun.

Samuel Mullins (Anthony LaPaglia) is an expert doll maker. He and his wife Esther (Miranda Otto) have one young daughter and when Samuel’s latest doll order is ready to ship, the family looks to be living a dream. But when tragedy strikes, life changes and the Mullinses become reclusive.

Fast forward 12 years and an orphanage led by Sister Charlotte (Stephanie Sigman) is in search of a new home; the Mullinses invite the nun and girls to take up residence with them. The new residents get settled, exploring the house and getting acclimated to some of its nuances. When Janice (Talitha Bateman) is lured to a locked room that she is not supposed to enter, her curiosity takes over. In that room she finds a doll. The doll is both creepy and alluring at the same time. And strange things in the house seem to have a connection to the mysterious object.

As Janice’s best friend in the house, Linda (Lulu Wilson) is on top of it. She immediately believes the strange happenings Janice tells her about and can see some changes. Others in the house also start noticing things and fear strikes all. What is this presence in the Mullins house, and what does it want with them?

Scary films are a lost art form. Most have a tendency to just throw gore at the screen and hope you’ll be afraid. Few can actually get to what scares people. With an origin film like Annabelle: Creation, we actually know where much of it will end

so it is the journey that is important. Can the film take us on a journey and actually elicit the scares?

The answer is yes, it can. This film has a slow build to it. It is quiet and reflective and moves in such a way that will have you afraid, and jumping at the appropriate moments. The film feels like a bit of an evil presence in and of itself. That evil feeling allows the film to really get inside the viewer. For those who can couple this with the later films in the Conjuring universe, Creation allows viewers a full and frightening experience.

To fully connect this film with the franchise universe, make sure to stay through the credits for a pair of bonus sequences during and after the credits that will bring much of the fear of The Conjuring to life.

Glendale Rugby makes changes for hometown fans, teams

Exciting times are ahead for rugby fans and players in Glendale, as significant changes for the hometown Glendale Rugby program are afoot.

With the 2018 rollout of the United States-based professional rugby league Major League Rugby forthcoming, the city of Glendale has rebranded its Women’s Premier League, women’s Division I and men’s Division I, II and U20 teams as the Glendale Merlins.

The new Glendale Merlins remain within the larger Glendale Rugby family along with the Glendale Raptors, and are named for a small but mighty falcon – a moniker that embodies the city’s fierce, compact, determined spirit.

Beginning in 2018, the Glendale Raptors will play solely as part of Major League Rugby.

The vision of rugby at Infinity Park is to create a pathway

for players to learn the skills and gain the experience they need in order to compete on all levels. Players who wish to continue their rugby career after high school or college to work with coaches and trainers on the various development teams to elevate their game. These players are not only playing for the love of the game: They are also pushing themselves to see just how far they can go, whether that’s the Olympic games or the country’s top leagues. The Merlins name reflects that relentless pursuit of personal and team goals that drives each player.

Merlins Head Coach and Director of Rugby Development Luke Gross is excited

about the change: “The great thing about this change is that it allows coaches and players to develop with a clear path to whatever level of rugby they aspire to play. All of our players are really excited about our new name and we’re all committed to the future of this organization. It’s an exciting time for the sport of rugby in the U.S.” The Glendale Merlins have a busy fall season ahead, with several home match days September through November.

A district attorney’s investigation into an officerinvolved nonfatal shooting in Littleton has cleared a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy of any wrong doing, concluding that Dep. Bradley Proulx reasonably believed his life was in danger when he shot an armed motorist.

“Proulx used an appropriate level of physical force given the circumstance,” wrote Jacob Edson, chief deputy district attorney, in a letter this week to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock.

The May 12 incident occurred near the intersection of South Santa Fe Drive and County Line Road when Deyon Marcus Rivas-Maestas, the driver of an apparently disabled SUV, threatened Proulx with a gun as the deputy tried to offer assistance “As he approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, Deputy Proulx observed Rivas-Maestas coming at him full speed with an AR-15, barrel-side up,” Edson’s report said, noting the incident was recorded on Proulx’s body camera. “… In response, Deputy

Proulx drew his personally-owned service weapon, Sig Sauer model 320 9mm, and fired two shots.”

The first shot struck Rivas-Maestas in the right upper arm. The second missed as the driver tried to flee on foot and Proulx fell on his back, dropping his own weapon.

According to the report, Proulx was seen by arriving officers “standing off to the side of his patrol car covering Rivas-Maestas, who was on the ground about 20-30 feet in front of the [SUV].”

Rivas-Maestas was taken into custody to a nearby hospital, where he survived. He was charged with first-degree assault of a law enforcement officer. His preliminary hearing was scheduled for this week.

Edson’s report notes Rivas-Maesta’s AR-15 rifle was more powerful than Proulx’s weapon and that it was only after the confrontation that the deputy learned that the man’s rifle had been secured in gunlock.

“Proulx did not provoke the use of force by Rivas-Maestas, was not the initial aggressor, nor was there any sort of combat by agreement,” the report said. “In short, Dep. Proulx reasonably believed physical and deadly force, was about to be applied towards him.”
