Local woman makes bake-off finals Castle Rock cook turns her hobby into lifelong passion By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Rock’s Jackie Carioscia was not a fan of cooking until about the time she got married. Her first experiments in the kitchen began when she was 22 years old, living in Chicago and on her way to a career as a chemical engineer. In the 10 years that have passed since then, Carioscia has entered countless contests, created a host of original dishes and become the go-to cook among her circle of friends. Her efforts earned her a coveted spot on the 2013 Pillsbury Bake-Off list of finalists, who aim for a chance at Pillsbury’s $1 million grand prize. She and her husband aren’t spending the

grand prize money yet, but they are looking forward to the finalists’ trip to Las Vegas. Carioscia has entered the Pillsbury BakeOff each year for the last decade. Each time, she enters dishes in a variety of categories. This year she entered a dish in the Amazing Doable Dinners category, a marmalade crab crusted salmon recipe that was among the semi-final entries posted on Pillsbury’s website. Visitors to the site reviewed and tested the dishes, casting their votes for the finalists. “This is the furthest I’ve made it,” Carioscia said. “I think I have a good chance. I only have to make the top 55 percent of that category.” Carioscia’s winning dish was among four she submitted, abiding by instructions to limit the dish to seven ingredients, prep time to 30 minutes and include two of Pillsbury’s listed ingredient categories. Her ingredients were Pillsbury’s best all-purpose flour and Smucker’s sweet orange marmalade. Combined with salmon, canned crab, onions and spices, the dish Cook continues on Page 14

Jackie Carioscia submitted four recipes to the Pillsbury Bake-Off competition. She has entered the contest each year for the past decade.

2011 death played role in legislation Lawmakers pass bill launched by coroner By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com When Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas helped draft legislation to tighten Colorado’s coroner law, she called on Laura Couillard for support. Couillard and her husband, Ernie Couillard, were more than willing to help. The Castle Rock family in 2011 had a firsthand look at the coroner’s protocol when their 15-year-old son Christopher was found unresponsive in the basement of their home. The coroner determined he died of asphyxiation in the aftermath of a

party that went wrong. What the coroner could never tell them was when he died. “We’ll never know if an earlier phone call to 911 would have saved him,” Laura Couillard said. “For the other four survivors who were in the house that day, they’ll have to go through life never knowing if an earlier 911 call could Thomas have saved Christopher.” The coroner was unable to determine time of death because sheriff’s investigators said a search warrant was needed before coroner’s staffers could enter the house. The elapsed time between the 911 call and the time death investiga-

tors were able to view the body was more than eight hours. It was too late to obtain time-sensitive information such as rigor and livor mortis and body temperature — all pivotal to determining time of death, Thomas said. “There was nothing in statute that spoke to the importance of collecting time-sensitive information,” Thomas said. “The wording I used in the Legislature puts the traffic lines on the road. We now know who belongs in which lane. It’s given us better direction.” Thomas in 2012 worked with the Colorado Coroners Association to draft legislation that ensures timely access to death scenes and spells out which types of cases require an investigation. Bill continues on Page 14

The Douglas County School Board long has urged a revision of the state’s schoolfunding formula. That wish is now coming to fruition, but not in the way members had hoped. Board member Kevin Larsen said the current proposal in the Colorado General Assembly only would increase the disparity among districts, and make matters much worse for DCSD students and taxpayers. “The cure is worse than the sickness,” Larsen said. “When we further compare that to the taxes that are going to be paid, I think people are going to be astounded. The net for us would always be to put more into the state than we’re getting back.” The Democratic-controlled Colorado Senate approved the bill April 2 on a party-line vote. If Senate Bill 213 passes the General Assembly, the state’s voters would then be asked to approve an income-tax inLarsen crease of about $1 billion to fund the plan. Therein lies the rub. While DCSD would get more funding under the changes to the base calculations, Douglas County’s high per-capita income means taxpayers here would be hit hard by the proposed income-tax increase. “The candy that’s going to be used to entice people here is that everyone’s funding is going to go up (under the new formula),” Larsen said. Supporters maintain the change is long overdue. The state’s Public School Finance Act last was updated in 1994. “It was crafted before any of us used Internet, email, or cell phones,” said Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, sponsor of the bill. “Within the past five years, K-12 education suffered nearly $2.5 billion in cuts. Now is the time to reinvest and achieve greater adequacy, equity, and sustainability in our education system.” As proposed, it would bring an additional $43 million to DCSD, but about $16 million of that would go to fund additional early childhood education. “The cost to the taxpayers to get that $43 million, through a new change in incometax rate, would be in our estimation probably $95 (million) to $100 million,” Larsen said. “This is going to be essentially a 20 percent increase in income taxes.” The plan also would give more money to districts with high concentrations of lowincome students and English-language learners. Douglas County has relatively few students who fall into those categories. Board continues on Page 14

Empty Bowl makes move to weekend Organizers aim for family-friendly event By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Visitors to this year’s Empty Bowl can skip the Friday rush hour to make it to one of Castle Rock’s more popular fundraisers. The Empty Bowl, which raises money for victims of domestic violence, moved to a Saturday for the first time in its 13-year history. It is a move organizers hope makes it easier for people to make the trip to Castle Rock. “We’re trying to help those people who can’t make it to Castle Rock after work on a Friday,” said Heather Orr, event and grant coordinator. “If you don’t live in Castle Rock, it’s kind of hard to get to the event. We wanted to do it on a Saturday afternoon and make it a

little more family-friendly.” The Empty Bowl ranks among the crisis center’s largest fundraisers. At its peak, it sold out at about 1,000 tickets, with a goal to raise $80,000 for the center that provides shelter, legal advocacy and crisis support for victims of domestic violence in Douglas and Elbert counties. In recent years, attendance has hovered between 700 and 800 tickets, prompting organizers to opt for a weekend event in hopes of restoring attendance to its former level. The center also noticed that those who attended the event had something else in mind — many made the event a family outing, Orr said. “We noticed more and more people are bringing their kids,” she said. “This year we’ll have activities for the kids.” The shift resulted in a few other changes at the event, Orr said. Gone is the silent auction of years past.

THE WOMEN’S CRISIS & FAMILY OUTREACH CENTER

5,136 nights of shelter provided 227 men, women and children sheltered 30 days average stay 10,000 callers to the 24-hour crisis line 324 people received legal advocacy 289 received free therapy

24-hour crisis line: 303-688-8484 Source: Women’s Crisis & Family Outreach Center www.twcfoc.org

It is replaced by a raffle to be distributed at the event. Kids’ activities include edible art, a fishing game for prizes, a balloon artist and face painting. “(Kids) can be entertained while mom and dad are looking for their bowls,” Orr said. The bowls remain the benchmark of the event, and this year’s gathering will in-

clude as many as 2,000 hand-thrown bowls donated by potters from around the Front Range. Among this year’s artists is a group of high school students from the class of Rock Canyon High School art teacher Daniel Gonzalez, Orr said. Gonzalez’s students helped bump the bowl count, with three of his students dedicating 100 bowls each to the event, Orr said. Attendees at the event take home a bowl of their choice and get an all-you-can-eat pass to the event’s soup, bread and dessert buffet, courtesy of area restaurants. The Empty Bowl symbolizes the empty bowl left at the table when a victim of domestic violence flees an unsafe situation. All proceeds support the crisis center. Advance tickets are $40 for adults, $20 for children ages 12 and younger and $500 for a reserved table for 10. Tickets at the door are $45 for adults and $25 for children. For more information, call 303-688-1094 or visit www.twcfoc.org.

Castle Rock mall donates to local food bank By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcolorado news.com The Outlets at Castle Rock made its annual Easter pancake breakfast a double-duty event, raising nearly 500 pounds of food for a local food bank. The Outlets hosted its traditional holiday event with a visit from the Easter Bunny and a pancake breakfast that usually costs $5 per person. In lieu of the ticket price, organizers this year invited people to bring a can of food to donate to the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. The Castle Rock-based task force provides aid and food to residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The Outlets’ outreach to the local nonprofit coincided with record attendance at the mall’s annual Easter breakfast. “(The) event was our biggest Easter breakfast ever,” said Lisa Zetah, director of marketing for the Outlets at Castle Rock. “We had over 300 families in attendance, who provided over 465 pounds of food for the Douglas/Elbert Task Force.” Event organizers were overwhelmed by the number of people who attended the breakfast, with several armed with bags of food, rather than a can or two, Zetah said. While the mall has hosted charitable events in years past, this is the first

Courtesy photo. year it hosted the Easter breakfast with a dual purpose. The outreach was a “lovely surprise” for the task force, said Suzanne Greene, task force executive director. The donation was the equivalent of $775 worth of food, she said. “We didn’t have any idea this was happening,” Greene said. “Part of the value of doing something like this is the fact we get our message out. This is a very nice thing to do and we’re very grateful.” The food bank at the task force typically experiences a dearth of donations in February and March, Greene said. Donations held steady this year and the task force

is looking forward to the gardening season, when local community gardens dedicate part of their harvest to the food bank. The task force has two commercial freezers for fresh produce, which typically goes quickly, she said. “The Rock Real Community Garden has already started preparing space dedicated to the food bank,” Greene said. “We’d love to have backyard gardeners think about the food bank when they’re planting. Or if they get a bumper crop of tomatoes or zucchinis, we could use those zucchinis.” The Douglas/Elbert Task Force is at 1638 Park St. in Castle Rock. For more in-

White Construction wins on weight loss Owners shave, dye hair after employees meet health challenge

White ConstruCtion group Weight loss Challenge Participants: Four women, 17 men Term: Six weeks Weight loss goal: 100 pounds Weight lost: 153.5 pounds Average weight loss for women: 7.6 pounds Average weight loss for men: 7.2 pounds

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Tim White and his partner Doug Decker made good on a promise to employees, who exceeded a company-wide challenge to lose weight. In exchange, the head honchos of White Construction took their side of the bet … to their heads. With insight gained from his experience as a board member for Parker Adventist Hospital, White challenged his employees to lose weight, setting a cumulative goal of 100 pounds. His employees responded with a campaign that in six weeks resulted in a loss of nearly 154 pounds. As a reward to employees, White shaved his head and Decker

The two endured new hairstyles in exchange for a successful company-wide weight loss challenge. Photo by Rhonda Moore dyed his black hair blue during an April 3 celebration at the company’s Castle Rock headquarters. The challenge was the latest effort in the company’s internal wellness program, which White Construction Group launched in

2009 to improve employee health. It was about that time that White joined the board of directors of Parker Adventist, gaining new awareness about the benefits of healthy living. “It became apparent to me that

Castle roCk neWs in a hurry Police offer self-defense class

The Castle Rock Police Department hosts a two-day Rape Aggression Defense class from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m., April 20 and 27, at the police department at 100 Perry St. in Castle Rock. The free program for women teaches a variety of self-defense techniques. The program begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance and ends with the basics of hands-on defense training.

the health crisis solution has to be a grassroots effort,” White said. “If we can become healthier people and model it with our practices, we can show you can have a healthier lifestyle.” White Construction holds pedometer competitions, measuring the number of steps among employees or the number of miles walked. The company uses a software application provided by its health-care provider to track progress. Lyssa Franckowiak, 35, used that software as motivation during the competition, which she won as the top weight loser in the company. Franckowiak, who lives in

Highlands Ranch, lost 16 pounds in the six-week challenge, making small diet adjustments along the way. Franckowiak cut soda and most of the dairy from her diet, added a healthy breakfast to her daily routine and stopped eating late at night. She also checked in daily to see who might be homing in on her first-place spot — a habit that upped the motivation element. “I’m very competitive, so I tried to stay ahead of people if they started to gain on me,” Franckowiak said. “It was a lot of fun. I feel a lot better and I have a lot more energy.” Despite his newfound baldness, White sees the competition as a win-win situation. His attitude is that healthy employees are more productive employees. “You’re probably a better mom, dad, volunteer,” he said. “Whatever you’re doing in life, you’re probably much better at it when you’re leading a healthy lifestyle.”

Homebuyers have financing options Don’t let FHA changes lead to rush, lender says By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Changes by the Federal Housing Authority that went into effect April 1 may motivate some buyers to speed up the process if they are considering an FHA loan. Yet while many homebuyers are scrambling to take advantage of current regulations, as well as historical low interest rates and prices that could rise, Jim Ruth, senior loan officer with First Cal Colorado, cautions buyers to take their time. “People should be buying because they want to buy a house,” Ruth said. “A lot of people sometimes will rush it, and they might buy something they don’t really want. When people are coming up on deadlines, such as for the $8,000 tax credit a couple years ago, I had people buying just so they could get that credit.” One factors Ruth sees is that new FHA regulations dictate that homebuyers not under contract by June 3 will have to pay mortgage interest for the life of the loan.

“There are a lot of other programs available out there,” Ruth said. “Don’t panic over the changes. It’s important to sit down with your lender about six months before you buy and make sure you are aware of all your options and that your credit is in order. “If you’re credit isn’t good, it may be able to fixed in as little as six months to a year.” The Colorado Housing Finance Authority, which First Cal Colorado is affiliated with, has multiple programs available. One of those, the Mortgage Credit Certificate program, is designed for one- or two-person households making less than $79,300, or three-person households making less than $91,100, who haven’t owned a home in the last three years. The certificate, which is awarded following a class attended by the buyer, allows those purchasing a house greater than $150,000 to receive 20 percent of their interest tax deduction in the form of a credit — an average annual rebate of at least $1,500. Another program, the CHFA Advantage, is for people who have a 700 credit score or better. It requires them to pay just 3 percent down and, at a slightly higher rate of 4.125 percent, carries no mortgage insurance requirements at all, saving hundreds a month.

Health-care opportunities are big draw Castle Rock hospital job fair attracts overflow crowd By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com With an early-morning traffic jam, lines around the corner that took two and a half hours to navigate and “quite a few rock stars singled out in on-site interviews,” one could say the Centura Health job fair was a smashing success. With the 212,000-square-foot Castle Rock Adventist Hospital prepared to open in late summer, eager applicants from all over the metro area and some who flew in from out of state packed the Douglas County Events Center April 5, hoping to secure one of the 200 available positions — most of which are in the field of nursing. “We knew there was interest, but to have lines out the door starting at 7 a.m. is just amazing,” said Kelly Wooten, Centura HR director. According to Wooten, who said the hospital continues to add positions daily, more

than 500 applicants got inside the doors in the first four hours of the eight-hour fair, and lines were still wrapped around the corner outside at that time. Once inside, applicants had their medical licenses verified and went through a pre-screening process with a recruiter. If successful, they secured an on-site interview. “We’ve had just a ton of interest in creating the nursing culture here from the beginning,” said Mike Selvage, Centura Chief Nursing Officer. “There’s been no previous way here, so you have the opportunity to set the way. It’s exciting.” Selvage said plenty of likely hires were identified in the opening hours of the fair and that following a second screening, offers would be made within a matter of a few business days. For those who did not find the right fit at the Castle Rock location, specifically new graduates, Wooten said the fair was being used to help find careers for qualified individuals at some of Centura’s sister hospitals, both in and out of Colorado.

John Hickenlooper said at the ribbon-cutting event. “Each success leads to another.” Hickenlooper added that 10,800 payroll jobs were added in Colorado in February alone, helping cut the state’s unemployment rate to close to 7 percent. “Douglas County, in less than a year, has 6,300 new jobs,” County Commissioner Jill Repella said after the ribbon-cutting. “We are creating a very, very fertile business environment in Douglas County, and we’ve got more coming.” Repella attributes some of Douglas’ success to “the unrecognized heroes” of the county’s building division staff who help get businesses into their locations on schedule with timely permitting and inspections. “We want businesses to be able to open their doors fast so they can get in and do business.” she said. “That’s what we do to help lay that economic foundation.” Other new businesses coming into the county soon include Visa, with 406 new jobs, and Children’s Hospital, with 300 employees, both in Highlands Ranch, and Redwood Trust, which is bringing 550 new local jobs, in Lone Tree.

Well-known Douglas County Republican and father Steven Wright died of complications from a stroke April 4. A memorial service is planned at 9:30 a.m. April 12 at Skyview Presbyterian Church in Centennial. Internment will follow at 12:15 p.m. at Fort Logan National Cemetery, Staging Area C. Wright, 38, is survived by his wife, Monica, and children Garrett, Hannah, Abigail and Peyton. Wright was a computer systems administrator at Catholic Health Initiatives Wright in Denver, and a parttime real estate agent with Home Smart Real Estate Group. Wright served in the Air Force until 1997. He also was an assistant district captain for the Douglas County Republicans. He served as campaign manager for former Douglas County Republican Mark Baisley during his recent run for state party chairman. “He was just so energetic,” Baisley said.

“You can’t believe all the things that he would get involved in. That’s why there’s such an outpouring for him now. So many people remember him for being so many places and being so involved. He was always selfless, never self-promoting.” Though Wright had not sought political office, Baisley described Wright as “the epitome of the American conservative.” “He was trying to preserve the founding principles,” Baisley said. “He would do that through promoting other people to office he thought would affect the restoration of government founding principles.” He also was a member of this year’s Leadership Program of the Rockies class, which develops and trains emerging area leaders through a multi-day program. He also was an occasional host on Grassroots Radio at 560 AM. Wright suffered a massive stroke March 19, according to Baisley, which initially affected his motor skills but not his brain. While hospitalized, Wright suffered additional strokes that he did not survive. “We have really suffered a loss with him,” Baisley said. “He was such a unique character because of his drive and his great love of the country.” A fundraiser auction for the family is from 5-9 p.m. April 19 at the Southridge Recreation Center on McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch.

Obama promotes gun control in Denver visit President praises state legislators for new laws By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com President Barack Obama talked about gun violence during a speech in Denver on April 3, while lauding recent gun-control measures that have been signed into state law, and touting Colorado as being “a model of what’s possible” at the national level. The president’s remarks at the Denver Police Academy highlighted gun laws that soon will go into effect in the state, including those that institute universal background checks on gun sales and place limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Citing recent massacres like last year’s shootings in Aurora and Connecticut, Obama said it’s now time for Congress to take up similar gun measures for implementation at the national level. “Every day that we wait to do something about it, even more of our fellow citizens are stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun,” Obama said. In Colorado, gun-control bills have dominated headlines this legislative session. So far, Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed three bills that have passed the Democratic-controlled General Assembly. Republicans scoff that the gun measures are nothing but “feel-good” efforts that only hinder law-abiding citizens’ ability to obtain guns, while doing nothing to get the weapons out of the hands of criminals.

dress the loopholes in the current national background-check system for gun purchases, as Colorado legislators have done with recent legislation here. Obama said that if a person wants to buy a gun, “you should at least have to go through a background check to show that you’re not a criminal, or someone legally prohibited from buying one.” The president cited statistics that indicate background checks often do keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. “So, this does work,” he said. “And, by the way, if you’re selling a gun, wouldn’t

you want to know who you’re selling it to? Wouldn’t you want in your conscience to know that the person you’re selling to isn’t going to commit a crime?” Obama also said high-capacity ammunition magazines have no place in our communities. “I don’t believe that weapons designed for theaters of war have a place in movie theaters,” he said to applause. “Most Americans agree with that.” The president acknowledged the polarizing nature that surrounds the gun-control debate. He said Colorado is a state where hunting is a tradition, and where guns are “handed down from generation to generation.” “And they treat gun ownership with reverence and respect,” he said. At the same time, Obama said it’s important for people to understand where the other side is coming from on these issues. “There doesn’t have to be a conflict between protecting our citizens and protecting our Second Amendment rights,” the president said. Among those who attended the speech were Hickenlooper and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. The two took part in a round-table discussion on gun issues that involved Obama, prior to the president’s speech. Others taking part in the discussion were police and Colorado citizens whose lives have been affected by gun violence. Several state legislators also were attendance, including Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora. Fields — whose son was shot to death in 2005 and who sponsored some of the state’s gun legislation — said she felt that her work has been validated by Obama’s trip. “I feel really good about what we did here in the state of Colorado,” Fields told reporters. “And I think the rest of the nation should follow suit.”

Sheriff speaks out on firearms issues Weaver doesn’t see benefit in ‘restrictive’ new laws By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com More than a dozen Colorado sheriffs gathered in Denver in opposition to Colorado’s new gun restrictions at the same time President Barack Obama spoke at the Denver Police Academy in favor of the new laws. The group of sheriffs, which included Elbert County’s Shayne Heap and was scheduled to include Douglas County’s David Weaver, gathered April 3 at Thomas Memorial Park, within a mile of the president. While Weaver missed the event for personal reasons, he issued an open letter to citizens of Douglas County two days later, outlining his feelings on the laws. “I believe that more restrictive gun laws for law-abiding citizens will not have any

positive effect on public safety,” he said in his letter. “They will not prevent another massacre in a theater nor another mass murder in a school.” Weaver pointed to both the Aurora theater massacre and the Newtown elementary school shooting and addressed the fact that both of the killers had been able to purchase or steal guns despite concerns about the state of their mental health. “The additional background checks still do not evaluate or validate the buyer’s mental health,” Weaver said, adding that the new measures would be difficult if not impossible to enforce. “Tighter gun laws will not prevent criminals from getting guns,” he said. “The laws will only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.” Weaver closed his letter by saying that he will not disregard the new laws, but he also will not take any “radical steps” such as “ordering gun magazine roundups.”

t Think tank linked to survey on schools Independence Institute will release results

mmu-By Jane Reuter com-jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

gned The Independence Institute helped craft movieand implement a recent automated phone meri-survey on Douglas County School District issues. olar- Ben DeGrow, a senior policy analyst with ntrolthe Denver-based think tank, said the instiheretute will release survey results when they s areare available. nera- The Independence Institute’s Education Policy Center promotes school choice, parev-rental involvement and educational vouchers, and has a keen interest in Douglas im-County’s education reform efforts. That’s e thewhy it’s helping to conduct the survey, Deues. Grow said. t be- “I think it basically comes down to Dougtect-las County being at the forefront of school the

choice, not just school choice but lots of education innovation and reform debates,” he said. “We’d like to gauge opinions at the grassroots level just to understand what kind of support there is for these different education policies.” DeGrow said he has no knowledge of other parties that may be involved in the survey. DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson said she did not know who was conducting it and only learned about the survey through Facebook posts. In 2010, DeGrow and Education Policy Center director Pam Benigno served on the Douglas County School Choice Task Force. In 2011, DeGrow became chairman of the Choice Scholarship School that helped implement the controversial voucher program. The program was challenged in court, and was recently upheld by the Colorado Court of Appeals. A recording of the survey includes an array of questions about the school board, this November’s board elections, groups

that have criticized the board, the failed 2012 teachers’ union negotiations, the proposed teacher pay-for-performance program and the voucher program. “Who do you think has the best interest of Douglas County schoolchildren at heart?” the recorded voice asks. “The Douglas County Federation, also known as the teachers union, or the Douglas County board of education?” Among the questions in the survey: • “Thinking now about the Douglas County School Board and local education issues, do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the Douglas County School Board?” • “Among the following list of characteristics, please tell me which one you are looking for in a school board candidate: A charter school-oriented candidate? A reform-oriented candidate? A union-oriented candidate?” • “Thinking some more now about teachers in Douglas County, please tell me

if you agree or disagree with the following statement: Teachers who belong to a union are more effective, better qualified and better trained than teachers that do not belong to a union.” • “As you may know, the Colorado Court of Appeals recently ruled the Douglas County pilot program is constitutional. The (voucher program) provides 500 Douglas county students with scholarships that parents can use on a qualified private partner school of their choice. Knowing this, do you agree or disagree with the court’s ruling the Choice Scholarship Program is constitutional?” The survey also asks respondents their opinion of the Independence Institute. The district’s long-held collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union expired in 2012 after extensive and ultimately fruitless negotiations. Seats belonging to four of the seven current board members expire in November 2013.

DCSD catering manager Kim Wolfrum, Colorado Ag Commissioner John Salazar and DCSD executive chef Jason Morse teamed up at the Denver capitol during the March 19 Farm-to-Forks cook-off. Courtesy photo team took it from there. “Because we couldn’t have open flames and cook inside the Capitol rotunda, we had to bring everything with us,” he said. “We seasoned the meat, rubbed the beef and let it sit, then came in and braised it the next day. The morning of, we finished the braise, removed it from the bone, hand-shredded the meat, loaded our cars up and headed down.” Morse, who sits on the Colorado Chefs Association board of directors, described it as “an amazing day.” “As an industry leader,

I think it’s wonderful to be involved in it,” he said. “As a school district chef, it gains us so much exposure. My goal has always been to put us on the map for school lunch.” While Morse won’t share all the ingredients that went into the award-winning ribs, he will reveal the one he thinks is key to DCSD Nutrition Services’ overall success. “We’re not just putting things on trays and sending them out,” he said. “When Kim and I cook, you can taste the love in our food. That translates absolutely through to the cooking.”

Douglas County Board of Education President John Carson is encouraged by the recent Indiana Supreme Court decision to uphold that state’s voucher program. In a unanimous March 26 decision, the court ruled Indiana state school funds can be used to finance private school tuition. The decision likely ends a case started in 2011. More than 9,000 students are enrolled in Indiana’s program, which shares with Douglas County the name “Choice Scholarship Program.” The Colorado Court of Appeals in February reversed a lower court decision and ruled the Douglas County School District’s voucher program did not violate the state constitution. Opponents of the Carson voucher program intend to appeal the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. DCSD implemented the pilot Choice Scholarship Program, allowing parents to use a portion of public school funds toward private school tuition, in March 2011 before the lower court issued an injunction stopping it in August 2011. As in the Douglas County case, opponents in Indiana argued that the program took money from public schools to instead benefit primarily religious schools. A key difference, however, is that eligibility for participation in Indiana’s program is income-dependent, and aimed at poor and middle-class families. DCSD’s has no income requirements. Still, Carson sees it as a potential harbinger for the future of DCSD’s program. “I will note that many of the issues in that case were very similar to the ones in the Colorado case,” he said, pointing to reli-

gious issues and the fact that parents — not school districts — directly pay the privateschool tuition. That fact was paramount in the Indiana decision, which ruled parents were the primary beneficiaries of the program, and not religious schools. “The voucher program does not directly fund religious activities because no funds may be dispersed to any program-eligible school without the private, independent selection by the parents of a program-eligible student,” according to the Indiana Supreme Court ruling. “Fortunately, the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled the program is constitutional there,” Carson said. “I think it’s now safe to say Indiana has now established itself as the leading state in the country, possibly alongside the state of Wisconsin, in promoting school choice.” Douglas County voucher opponent Anne Kleinkopf, director of plaintiff Taxpayers for Public Education, said she is not concerned about the Indiana decision. “We remain confident that regardless of what happened in Indiana, the Douglas County voucher program still violates important provisions of the Colorado constitution,” she said. It also violates the Colorado Public School Finance Act, Kleinkopf said, most notably “the requirement that public school monies only be used for public schools.” In the Indiana ruling, the court noted the decision was not a judgment on the program’s merits, but its constitutionality. “We emphasize that the issues before this Court do not include the public policy merits of the school voucher program,” the ruling states. “Whether the Indiana program is wise educational or public policy is not a consideration germane to the narrow issues of Indiana constitutional law that are before us. Our individual policy preferences are not relevant.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Amid tragedy is forgiveness, accountability Forgiveness itself is not often a topic in an editorial, but the recent words of Lisa Clements, wife of slain Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, inspire food for thought. She stood with her two daughters by her side at her husband’s service March 25 in Colorado Springs and said, “We pray for forgiveness and peace for the family of the man suspected of taking Tom’s life, and we pray every day for forgiveness and peace in our own hearts.” She noted she shares her husband’s belief in redemption and the ability for the human heart to be changed. Her comments echo many other expressions of forgiveness in news reports

OUR VIEW through the years. One surely was the reaction of the Amish community in Lancaster, Pa., after a 32-year-old gunman killed several girls in a one-room schoolhouse before killing himself in 2006. While the Amish community was not inclined to interact with the media, its stance was clear to not think evil of the gunman and instead pray for the shooter’s family,

Will the Rockies be improved this season? several south metro-area locations if they thought the changes would help the Rockies play better baseball this year.

“I believe they will be a better team than they were last year. I believe new manager Walt Weiss will bring more energy to the team and I think they have made moves that have strengthened the pitching staff.” —Trevor Johnson, Denver

“I guess I think the Rockies will be better this season because I am always optimistic at the start of the season. I really like the attitude Walt Weiss has brought to the team. … I think they will win more than half their games this season.” — Brian Ewert, Centennial

“I do think they will be improved. Several top players are back from injuries and they have some new people on the roster. Also, Walt Weiss as the new manager will teach them to improve on the little things they have to do to win games.” —Tom O’Connor, Englewood

“I think the Rockies will do all right .... Pitching has improved and I believe Manager Walt Weiss will have the players working on fundamentals and he will show them how not to do those little things they do when they beat themselves.” —Doug Severinson, Elizabeth

April, don’t be cruel I happen to like April. I think April is a month of optimism, which is saying something, because I humbug just about everything. “If anything can go wrong, it will.” If I dropped one hundred slices of Wonder Bread coated with peanut butter, 98 of them would land peanut butter down. I know it. I’ve known two girls named April, and both of them were beautiful. Maybe that has something to do with it, why I like April. One of them, this is the absolute truth, was named April May. I think she was a June bride, and took the name of her husband, which messed up one of the greatest names ever. I guess April May sounds like it could be the name of an adult film star too. T. S. Eliot wasn’t as thrilled with April as I am. He wrote “The Waste Land” in 1922, and it starts this way: April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain At the time Eliot was writing “The Waste Land” his marriage was failing, and he was suffering from a nervous disorder. There you go. Of course he’s not going to write “April is the coolest month” if he is miserable. He could have been referring to Tax Day-month too. Income tax became permanent in 1913 with the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and income tax day typically falls on April 15. I always enjoy seeing stories about people who file at the last minute, driving to the post office, and saying, “Whew!” I finish my tax returns in February. I have an accountant, a great accountant. “Why don’t you just use TurboTax?” I was asked. “Because I have a great accountant,” is always my answer. My accountant and his daughter have been doing my taxes for over 20 years. I would miss them. I am right-brained, so tax codes and forms are a foreign language. My accountant approaches taxes very differently than I ever could. He works with numbers the way I work with colors. He seems to enjoy it, navigating information into compliancy.

while each person’s offer of forgiveness is based on various factors — such as whether remorse is expressed — a commitment to forgiveness reflects the best in all of us, a step toward mending and somehow improving the future to come. In a recent CNN interview, Lisa Clements said she could be enraged but chooses not to be angry with news that an errant court proceeding allowed the gunman to be released from prison four years early. She said she will not let it consume her. While she supports this need for accountability, we admire her strength as she champions a commitment to forgiveness and the steadfast view she shared with her husband that people can change.

Discretion will be applied to gun rights

QUESTION OF THE WEEK The Colorado Rockies have a new manager and have brought in a number of new players for this season. We asked people at

which was further conveyed by neighbors who interacted with the tight-knit community. Some Amish even reached out to comfort the family of the gunman. Although the level of forgiveness to some surely seemed too generous, it seemed to quiet the surrounding community as it respectfully honored the perspective of its neighbors, the direct victims of the shooting. We noticed a similar effect following Lisa Clements’ thoughtful statements. The complex mix of grieving, accountability and forgiveness is too much for any one editorial, but we venture to say the heart does not so quickly follow the mind once someone has decided to forgive. And

I have decided that I will paint for another 10 years, and then quit. And then there will be no more deductions for paintbrushes and stretcher bars. I might be able to do my own taxes again, like I did when I was in college. Clip a W-2 to a one-page form, and be done in five or ten minutes. That would be a relief. But right now I have a slew of categorized envelopes, that turn into rounded-off numbers, that detail every thing I spent and earned as a artist. I’m giving April the benefit of the doubt, and I doubt everything. I think there are crueler months, for one thing. July and August? You can have them. If I had to live in St. Louis in July and August, my poem would start out, “July and August are the cruellest months, and the Cardinals are 16 games back.” April is OK with me. Winter is over, and things are blossoming. It’s impossible to be a total grouch when things are blossoming. The derivation of the name is uncertain, but the belief is it comes from the Latin aperire, “to open,” which makes sense, because it’s the season when trees and flowers begin “to open.” April has become infamous for another reason, namely 4:20 p.m. on April 20. Be sure to have some Cheetos handy. Ironically, April is “National Poetry Month.” Somewhere a poet will recite “The Waste Land” to an audience, that might not agree with her, because right outside the lilacs are lilacking away.

As your sheriff, I support the Second Amendment, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. I also support any laws that strengthen that constitutional right. I believe that more restrictive gun laws for law-abiding citizens will not have any positive effect on public safety. They will not prevent another massacre in a theater nor another mass murder in a school. I have reviewed and weighed the impact of Colorado’s three newest gun control measures, which will become law July 1. • I believe that law-abiding citizens have the constitutional right to gun ownership and the right to be safe in their homes and communities. • I do not agree that high-capacity magazines should be limited for law-abiding citizens. Criminals will just steal them or purchase them out-of-state. • I don’t think that semi-automatic weapons should be regulated, as is being discussed nationally. • I don’t think the laws will make people safer. For example, some American cities with strict gun laws have more gun violence than most other places. • Tighter gun laws will not prevent criminals from getting guns. The laws will only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves. • The new legislation does not address mental health screening and it should. In two recent cases — in Aurora and in Newtown, Conn. — the killers either stole the guns or bought them legally despite concerns about their mental health. The additional background checks still do not evaluate or validate the buyer’s mental health. • The new laws are too vague, which means they will be subject to judicial interpretation, and future legislation will be needed to further define them.

The News-Press

• The gun control measures will be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce. • The new laws do not address the problems of criminals stealing guns or of buying firearms out of state to use in Colorado. Background checks for private firearm transfers will only impact, again, law-abiding citizens. • There are also concerns that the background check could become a hidden state tracking system of gun owners, whereby the legislature may enact legislation that’s punitive to gun owners. For example, in 2013, lawmakers proposed legislation to make gun owners civilly liable even if their firearms had been stolen. As sheriff, I am sworn to enforce the laws of the State of Colorado, but I am also sworn to uphold the U.S. and state constitutions. When these two duties conflict, as I anticipate they will over the coming months, I will exercise the discretion that you, as the citizens of Douglas County, have granted me, to the best of my ability. I will not disregard the new laws; but neither do I see myself ordering gun magazine roundups, or any other radical steps over which you, the citizenry, have expressed valid concerns. David Weaver is the sheriff of Douglas County.

Worker tax credit for aircraft companies garners support Bill aims to boost employment in state By Vic Vela

A bill that would expand tax incentives for the purpose of new hires in the state’s n aviation field is flying through the Legislate ture with bipartisan support. n, House Bill 1080 modifies the 2005 Aircraft Manufacturer New Employee Tax ackCredit, which provides a one-time $1,200 state tax credit for a new employee that is hired by by an aircraft manufacturer. at’s The bill expands the available tax incenn tives to manufacturers that provide aircraft o maintenance, repair and modification serheir vices, which were not included in the bill from eight years ago. e also nsti-

Western heritage, encourage family activities like 4-H through the fair and rodeo and build community engagement to support the fair. Engagement began with a $25,000 donation by Castle Rock’s Medved Autoplex and another $10,000 donated by area businesses. With the launch of the fundraising, Medved and other high level donors will gain permanent recognition in the Heritage Plaza. The overall goal is to raise $500,000, Shea said. “We’re proud to be a part of this,” said Diana Blanch, Medved executive assistant. “We hope everybody jumps on board.” Once constructed, the plaza will feature brick pavers available for $250 that residents can purchase to memorialize a friend, associate or family member. Construction is expected to begin in May in hopes of completing the plaza by this year’s fair, said Jonna-Negus Pemberton, fairgrounds manager. For more information about the Heritage Plaza and the Douglas County Fair Foundation, call 720-733-6900.

Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, a bill sponsor, said it’s important to extend the existing earned tax credits in an effort to attract high-paying jobs in a growing field, rather than having planes fly to other states just for the purposes of having repairs done. “We have to Report recognize that big carriers like United or Frontier, when they need to maintain an airplane, very often they’ll fly it to Wisconsin or Chicago to do the work there, and then bring it back,” he said. “I think it’s ridiculous that Colorado is losing out on those job opportunities. Why not do that maintenance, why not do more of that final fit and finish kind of work while they’re

on the ground here?” Holbert said he was approached about the idea for the bill by representatives from Centennial Airport, which has runways that extend into Holbert’s Douglas County legislative district. Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers said Colorado is in a tough competition with other states for tax incentives for aviation jobs. “Twelve hundred dollars in tax credits doesn’t sound like a whole lot,” Olislagers said. “But, if you add that in with other incentives that Colorado counties are providing, it starts to add up.”

Olislagers also said he hopes the bill will create more aviation jobs for veterans, especially when it comes to work that involves modifications of military aircraft. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House on April 5 by a vote of 61-2, with two members excused from the vote. “It’s a growing industry in Colorado,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada. “This bill helps aircraft manufacturers by being able to hire employees.” The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will be sponsored by Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.

I see ps, By Ryan Boldrey ou, rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com A fire covers more than 100 acres in the Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness Area in an hour’s time. Littleton and South Metro Fire are on the scene and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office already has people manning a command post. More agencies are waiting in the wings, and just like in real time, they arrive one by one, as Jeff Case, public works director for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, stands by with maps depicting where wells are and access points to fight the fire. “We know how to get around back there,” Case says, “and we can answer questions as to whether water can be available at particular locations. In the event of a major fire we can help provide organized perimeter control and help support the first responders so they can deal with more important issues.” Case’s job, and those of the Metro District park rangers, are a small sampling of the necessary roles when multiple jurisdictions come together to fight a regional disaster such as a wildland fire.

Photo by Ryan Boldrey cy Management that allow neighboring firefighters, police officers and other emergency responders the opportunity to get to know one another and learn each other’s strengths so they are better prepared when the real thing hits. There were 65 officers and representatives from a dozen agencies present April 3, including firefighters from South Metro, Littleton, Larkspur, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and Franktown, and officers from the Parker Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “It gets complicated, but unfortunately these wildfires are complicated,” said Tim Johnson, director of emergency management for Douglas County. “We have to make sure we are deploying assets at the right time and making the right decisions. “We try to bring in a lot of different jurisdictions

and do a multi-agency event, because in the real world when we have a big event, they are all going to be there. It’s a good opportunity for people to meet each other and work with each other, so that the first time they are meeting is not in a real event.” Events like these pay dividends too, as one year after inviting the Colorado Springs Fire Department to join the annual Douglas County event, CSFD sent a task force to assist with the 2011 Burning Tree Fire east of Franktown — an area outside firefighters were also familiar with because of a similar field exercise. “Part of where that fire started, we had performed an exercise there two years before,” said Larkspur Fire Chief Jamey Bumgarner. “I think the biggest thing with events like this is practicing together in a non-threatening situation without smoke in the air.”

Common kitchen remodeling mistakes to avoid By Kitchen Tune-Up www.kitchentuneup.com

Everyone’s heard the horror stories of the remodel that went wrong, very wrong; the contractor skips town with the deposit, the product doesn’t arrive and you wait months for a workable kitchen, bathroom, etc., the kitchen is left so dirty and in such disarray that it takes days to clean it up and feel like you can cook in it again. It doesn’t have to be that way! There are honest, hard-working contractors out there who are good at what they do and will make your kitchen, bath, or wood floor look spectacular for a reasonable price. So, what should you look out for when entrusting your beloved home to someone you don’t know? Here are five common mistakes you can avoid if you know about them in advance. We’ll also give you some tips on things you can do to ensure your remodeling experience is the best it can be. • Don’t expect your project to run perfectly. Problems do occur. If you get upset about a few days’ slippage, you will drive yourself insane. Remember, you will have this kitchen for a good number of years, so a few days here or there are insignificant to the overall result. The important thing is that your contractor is reacting to it, getting it handled and gets everything back on track as soon as possible. For example, your contractor pulls the old cabinets off and fi nds out there has been a leak that

has rotted the ﬂooring and joists under the floor, so everything stops until another company can come in and fi x it … if everyone is busy, it could be a week or more. You need to be prepared for the possibility that this type of problem can happen. • Don’t expect a working kitchen until the project’s done, so make arrangements for that. Cabinet refacing does not shut down your kitchen, but new countertops in addition to refacing will. You will probably be without running water and a sink for a few days. New kitchens are shut down on day one, as soon as the old cabinets are torn out. Depending on the countertop chosen, you’re typically looking at two to four weeks before you have a fully functional kitchen again. • Don’t start your remodel before you’ve chosen your appliances. Make sure you have the specs in the contractors’ hands prior to cabinets being ordered. This will result in a better fit for the appliance into the cabinets … especially wall ovens, built-in microwaves, cook tops, and large fridges. • Don’t pay for the entire project until the entire project is completed. Most projects will require you to make a significant down payment. This is normal, because the contractor has to place orders for products designed specifically for your kitchen. If you decided to withdraw from the project, he’d be stuck holding the bag. However, it is good policy to always leave a portion outstanding until the kitchen is finished. Ten percent is pretty typical. If you

have a problem giving your contractor a down payment, then you don’t trust him, and you should not be using him. • Don’t fall for the “big discount if you sign now” routine. Some remodeling companies offer huge discounts if you sign with them on the spot. If they offer an extremely large discount, it just means their price is too high to begin with. Remember, though, it is more cost-effective for the company to be able to wrap things up on the fi rst call, so a modest discount to save a second trip is reasonable, just use common sense. High-quality companies won’t use high-pressure tactics to get you to sign. Their product, service and references speak for themselves. Make sure you check out your contractor thoroughly in advance. Call their references, check from time to time, there are such things as “difﬁcult” or “unreasonable” clients. If a contractor has a bad comment or complaint, consider it against the length of time they’ve been in business and ask them to explain any issues you found. It is expected that on occasion, good contractors may have bad customers. If you see a pattern of complaints, however, you know you shouldn’t use that contractor. You should be comfortable with and “click” with the contractor you’ve chosen for your remodel. Make sure they have a good amount of experience, positive references and valid liability insurance if something does go wrong.

Tips to avoid injury while spring cleaning By StatePoint

Cleaning your home from top to bottom this spring? Do so with care. From falls off ladders to muscle pain, heavy-duty chores can be hazardous to your health and wellness if you’re not careful. So before you roll up – inyour sleeves and get into onathe thick of it, take a moment to review some essengbird tial safety precautions:

n vaAvoid outdoor mishaps W hen mow ing the lawn, wear sturdy, closedtoe shoes. Clear your lawn of stones, toys and other potentially hazardous debris before you begin, erento prevent flying objects. Keep children away from addiyour yard while you’re mid mowing. FoliReduce the risk of a ladch as der fall by always using a They stable ladder. Be sure to keep use the correct height ladl beder for the job and follow all weight restrictions. Only set ladders on level surreenfaces. Pay close attention to what you’re doing and climb up and down the ladder slowly and deliberately. Treat muscles right From lawn work to scrubbing floors, unusual repetitious motions can really take a toll, resulting in muscle pain or bruising. Treat your spring clean like a workout and stretch your

Photo courtesy of StatePoint major muscle groups before you get started. When lifting those boxes in your basement and any other objects with heft, bend at the knees to avoid throwing your back out. If a chore is causing you pain, stop what you’re doing. “Start out slowly to avoid placing a sudden demand on your muscles that are not use to this activity,” says Anne Meyer, MD who focuses on sports rehabilitation medicine. If you feel stiff or sore after a long day of reaching, bending and lifting, Dr. Meyer recommends minimizing physical activity, elevating an injured arm or leg, and treating the first sign of muscle pain by applying a quick absorbing topical muscle pain reliever like Arnicare Gel. Remember to take fre-

quent breaks. And end your long day with a relaxing bath. Clean safely Cleaning products can be extremely stringent, causing irritation to your eyes, nose and throat. If opting for natural alternatives, such as vinegar or lemons is not an option, use the harsher stuff with care. Open all windows when using harsh cleaning products, especially ammonia. Wear gloves and consider protecting your nose and mouth with a surgical mask. Place products out of reach when you’re not using them if you have pets or small children. By following a few safety measures, you can make your spring clean a rejuvenating experience.

How to make your garden more environmentally friendly By StatePoint Spring is here, which means it’s time to slip those green thumbs into some gardening gloves. And if you want to feel truly good about what you grow, consider upgrading your garden to be more planet-friendly. Here are some ideas to consider: Grow your own dinner Grow the vegetables, herbs and flowers that you would normally purchase for your dinner and floral arrangements. Local is more sustainable because it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport. And you can’t get more local than your own backyard. Encourage pollination Pollination is crucial for agricultural production and the health of the ecosystem. Unfortunately, many pollinating insects are highly susceptible to environmental changes and have in recent years, suffered major population decline. You can help local pollinators thrive by planting a variety of native species of varying colors and shapes and reducing your use of pesticides. Be bird-friendly No garden is truly complete without

regular visits from birds. Encourage flying visitors by installing a feeder and bird bath. According to a study published in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology, billions of birds die annually worldwide from collisions with windows. So if you’re going to send out the mass invite to these beautiful creatures, don’t forget to make it hazardfree for their arrival. Without affecting the appearance of your home, you can make your windows safer for birds by applying static-cling decals. For example, WindowAlert creates decals that look like frosted glass to people, but brilliantly reflect UV light for birds. To create a complete visual barrier, consider filling in the gaps between decals with UV Liquid dots which are invisible to humans, but visible to birds. More information on preventing bird collisions can be found at www.WindowAlert.com. Compost By composting, you will not only reduce your home’s overall waste, you’ll also create a rich soil that can be used in your garden to cultivate plants naturally. Be careful what you compost, however. Sawdust from chemically treated wood, diseased plants, and even walnuts, when composted, can create soil that’s hazardous to both plants and people.

Bill: Local woman wrote letter to Aurora lawmaker Bill continues from Page 1

As that measure — House Bill 131097 — made its way through committees this year, contributors to the legislation worked to ensure the rights to privacy afforded by the Constitution remained intact, said Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock. The bill passed the House in February, the Senate in March and was signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper last week. The final version will have no impact on the way the sheriff’s office handles death investigations, Spurlock said. “The bill contains and upholds the

belief that the Fourth Amendment is the most important part of a death investigation, criminal or non-criminal,” Spurlock said. “If it takes a while for someone to get into a scene because we have to get a search warrant, everyone wants to ensure that our property is safe from the government. “Our interest is taking care of the victims, the criminal investigation and the family left behind,” he said. “Our policy is to take care of the crime scene using best practices throughout law enforcement. We’ve been doing that for years.” Couillard shared her experience

with lawmakers in a letter to Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, in hopes of influencing legislators’ decision. She will always be haunted by the question of whether her son could have been saved by an earlier phone call, she said. “The major part was to make sure that no other family would ever have to go through what we did,” Couillard said. “(Christopher’s) brother and his friends have to live with never knowing if an earlier call to 911 could have saved Christopher’s life. They have nothing but regret and remorse for not calling sooner, but could an earlier call have saved him? We will never know.”

dress school finance. I think we need to think in a more creative way.” Douglas County School Board members see some things they like about the plan. It would change the way student enrollment is calculated from a oneday count to an average annual number of students. The count is vital because it helps determine a school’s funding levels. “I do admire the bill’s effort to get rid of this anachronistic countbased system,” board member Craig Richardson said. “This bill does go a long way to improving that.”

“Douglas County provides 9.5 percent of the state’s income tax collection,” Larsen said. “We have 7.5 percent of the state’s kids and receive about 6¾ percent of the state’s funding. There’s no way this is an adequate return and justifiable for the kids in our district.” The potential increase in income taxes also dims the chance voters would approve a future ballot issue on local education funding, Larsen said. “I think we’re taking a first step in a worse direction before really circling back,” he said. “We do need to ad-

turned out “divine,” Carioscia said. Her husband, Mike Carioscia, didn’t complain once about the handful of versions that came out of the kitchen as she perfected the recipe. “I love that she’s always trying to come up all kinds of different recipes and 99 percent of the time they come up excellent,” Mike Carioscia said. “When it comes to cooking, she’ll send stuff out to friends and friends’ wives and they’re

excited to get anything she cooks. When they come over, it’s always unique cooking.” Recipes and contest information are available on the Pillsbury Bake-Off website at www.bakeoff.com. To view Carioscia’s recipe, follow the link from the home page to “And the Winners Are …” Carioscia is among four finalists from Colorado, including Karen Harris from Castle Pines, who won with her recipe, bacon corncakes with warm maple cream.

Buying a home? Avoid these mistakes

he dream of home ownership is one that lives on in spite of the global economic struggles. The process of buying a home can be an emotional roller coaster ride, with feelings of excitement

mixed in with exhaustion, fear and uncertainty. Over the last several years, the real estate market has been turned upside down, and many prospective buyers have begun to question some of the conventional wisdom associ-

ated with buying a home. While such skepticism might be a healthy attitude in the current market, prospective buyers -- particularly those who have never purchased a home before -should avoid the following mistakes that buyers make

regardless of whether the market is up or down. * Failure to get qualified beforehand. Mortgage qualification is essential when buying a home, as it gives buyers preapproval for a loan before they make any offers. Making an offer on a home before you know what the bank is willing to lend you is a waste of time for everyone involved, including you, the seller and the real estate agents involved. Some agents will not show a home if you don’t have a preapproval. Once preapproved for a loan, don’t take any steps that might put that approval in jeopardy. This includes anything that might drastically alter your credit score. * Being blindsided by additional costs. Firsttime homebuyers, once they have moved into their home, often experience some sticker shock when the additional expenses associated with home ownership arise. These additional expenses include property tax and insurance costs and can be substantial. Even those buying a condominium or co-op should expect monthly maintenance fees

even if their new place is brand new and needs no maintenance. * Shooting for the moon. The ongoing recession is in part the result of predatory lending that saw banks grant excessive loans to applicants who, in hindsight, could not actually afford all that they were approved to borrow. The result was many people buying homes they could not afford, and then suffering some steep consequences, including foreclosure, when the first mortgage payment came due or the interest rate rose. First-time and even veteran buyers must avoid shooting for the moon when it comes to buying a home, and instead only buy one they know they can afford. What the banks says you can afford isn’t always the same as what you know you can afford. Only buy a home you know you can afford, regardless of whether the bank has approved you for a larger loan. * Pigeonholing yourself into an inadequate living situation. Just like buyers shouldn’t go overboard, they also must avoid compromising on the things that are most important to

them. For example, many of today’s buyers, fully aware of the rash of foreclosures and all the housing horror stories of the last several years, are reticent to commit to a home, and might compromise with a condo or co-op. But if a home is what you really want, and another living situation that mirrors apartment life is going to make you miserable, don’t settle for that situation for the sake of security. Doing so could cost you financially, especially when you realize the situation isn’t what you’d hoped for and look to sell earlier than is ideal. * Skimping on the cost of an inspector. An inspector is your last chance to find out if a home is your dream home or a money pit. Even if a house appears to be everything you want, don’t close on the sale until the house has been thoroughly inspected. The old adage that advises against judging a book by its cover certainly applies to buying a home, and prospective buyers should enlist the services of a qualified inspector before closing on the sale of a home. ■ Metro Creative Services

Boxing a hit for fitness Workout trend on the upswing in Lone Tree By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Hope Frantom was, she said, “an uncoordinated mess” when she started boxing. Now, she’s not just coordinated but has gained a level of confidence she says permeates every aspect of her life. “I feel like whatever you throw at me, I could probably do,” said the Aurora resident, who works as a trainer at Lone Tree Athletic Club. “I have more confidence about trying new things. I am more confident approaching men in a social situation. I’m also a more confident teacher. “It’s also a great workout.” Frantom is among a wave of women choosing boxing and kickboxing for fitness. A trend for several years, the sport got a boost with the debut of women’s boxing at the 2012 Olympics. Cardio kickboxing classes have grown 37 percent in the past three years, according to Women’s Health magazine. “Better than 60 percent of our class is made up of women,” said Stephen Stafford, general manager at Lone Tree’s LA Boxing. “I have a lot of teachers, medical professionals, lawyers, business executives — all high-stress jobs. It’s that release they get (from boxing), in an environment that’s not intimidating.” In addition to providing an emotional outlet, boxing offers “every aspect of fitness,” Stafford said, adding that most people burn between 800 and 1,000 calories per class. “Aside from heavyweights, have you ever seen a fat boxer?” he asked. The Lone Tree Athletic Club recently

smo

Courtney Scherer, left, takes instruction from Stan Welch, right, during an LA Boxing class. opened a boxing room in early 2013, with the urging of personal training manager Pat Jiner, who’s also a professional fighter. “The response has been overwhelming,” he said. As at LA Boxing, most of Jiner’s students are women. He, too, praises the calorieburning benefits of the sport, describing boxing as “one of the better total cardio exercises you can do.” But his first priority is form. “My boxing classes are very technical,” he said. “Your first class, you might not even break a sweat. Before you can start amping up, I need to make sure your feet are underneath you and you’re punching properly. You take one of my classes and have to remember combinations.

“It’s a thinking sport. It’s a holistic sport. There’s a lot of spirituality involved in it as well. I like the physicality, the discipline, the mental focus of the sport.” Frantom agrees, and said boxing isn’t what she’d expected. Jiner “kept telling me boxing is like dancing,” she said. “I’ve never been able to dance. I was very intimidated. You have to think about 500 different things at the same time.” She also had to first overcome an aversion to the idea of punching. “I remember telling him, `I’m from the South, I don’t hit people’,” Frantom said. “Now that I can do it, I think it makes a woman more attractive because she has the confidence that comes with knowing, `I can take care of myself.’”

Remember when “take me out to the ball game” meant a meal of peanuts and crackerjack along with a hot dog and beer? So imagine what a healthy home run that Aramark, Coors Field’s exclusive concessionaire, is hitting with the introduction of a sustainable garden located at Gate A of the ball field. The Colorado Rockies and Aramark have partnered with The Institute for the Built Environment at Colorado State University and Designs by Sundown to produce the on-site garden, which will provide the concessionaire with herbs and vegetables for use in Coors Field’s Mountain Ranch Club menu and build-your-own salad station. The design of “The Garden,” which is its official name, mimics a baseball stadium, with raised beds terracing upward from The Garden’s “infield” to the outfield and then to the stands. Ornamental flowers, followed by herbs, followed by vegetables will be on display for fans that pass through Gate A over the course of the Rockies’ season. The beds will be constructed of beetle kill pinewood sourced from Morgan Timber Products of Fort Collins. The plantings will be propagated at CSU from seeds adapted to the Colorado climate. The installation of The Garden marks a further commitment by the Rockies and Aramark to develop environmentally friendly programs in alignment with Major League Baseball’s recent green focus. On the other side of the snack spectrum, Aramark has added plenty of indulgent items that first were offered with last the April 5 home opener. They are: • Sausage on a stick — Italian, smoked cheddar, spicy Polish sausage. • Carnitas nachos — tortilla chips smothered in green chili queso topped with pork carnitas, jalapenos, pico de gallo and sour cream. • Smothered empanada — topped with former Bronco Mark Schlereth’s Stinkin’ Green Chili, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo and sour cream. • Pizza nachos — fresh fried pizza dough chips topped with house-made marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, diced pepperoni and sausage. • Rib eye sandwich — a 4-ounce rib eye served with sliced Havarti horseradish cheese, topped with onion tanglers and tangy gold barbecue sauce. • Souvenir refillable popcorn.

It’s hard work, yes — you develop a work ethic — but you never get to a place where it’s drudgery. … Playing music — if you’re not having fun, it’s not worth it.” Those are words of Marty Magehee, a veteran of the music industry and, as of 2011, on the faculty of Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. He is scheduled to share his expertise by teaching a songwriting class for adults this spring. His enthusiasm is contagious. He is a gold album artist due to his long association with the Christian music quartet 4HIM, which traveled across the nation performing 250 and more concerts a year. “At five years, we leveled out at 250,” he said. “By then three of us were married and starting families. … In the 20 years we sang together we gave more than 4,200 concerts.” The group performed regularly in Colorado, and Magehee says when he was first married, he was writing songs about Colo-

Musician Marty Magehee, Valor Christian faculty member, will teach songwriting in a new adult education series. Courtesy photo rado. Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Cherry Hills Village was a familiar stop. At Valor Christian, he has developed a sophisticated recording studio where the class will meet. He calls it “makeshift” as he anticipates the building of a dedicated space in the projected new art building,

which will be built as soon as funding is secured. The goal for the class: Each student will have written or be part of writing several songs by the end. Development of a core idea, how to recognize “the money idea,” (an industry term), create 20 lines plus the

chorus … “nail down the look that makes it happen ….” One and one half focused hours on Wednesday nights for six weeks are scheduled. From a musical family, Magehee taught himself to play the guitar and piano and eventually majored in trumpet performance. He also has a degree in music education. At Valor, he teaches songwriting, advanced worship band, studio recording — beginning and advanced. He hopes to make the studio appealing to Nashville music pros, who might want to come here to do projects — song by song or, when up and running, full projects. Also offered are two other classes: “Core Photography” with Brian Rowden and “Intro to Graphic Design” with Mary Kate Dick. All three will be offered from 7-8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Each class costs $250 for six weeks.

Winery guide author coming to Ranch Mitchell has traveled to nearly all of Colorado’s facilities By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com

“Exploring Colorado Wineries” is by local author Paula Mitchell. Courtesy image

Local author Paula Mitchell shared tasting tips and suggestions about pairing wines and foods when she spoke at Bemis Library last month — and she especially talked about Colorado’s growing collection of wineries, as described in her 2012 book, “Exploring Colorado Wineries.” She is stopping again in the south metro area at 6:30 p.m. April 26, when she will appear at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 Ridgeline Blvd. For reservations, call 303792-7323. She has visited 97 percent of the state’s 105 wineries, she said — meeting owners from all walks of life and sampling their products, which may vary from one or two specialties to a range of varieties and flavors. And she has recently completed training to be a Level II sommelier.

Novices reading Mitchell’s book will appreciate her chapter on tasting, including advice to start a personal journal. There is an order: white before red, delicate before strong, dry before sweet … Five s’s follow: See, swirl, smell, sip, savor — plus a page of descriptive words. How to read a wine label and a section on the process of winemaking and grape varieties leads to an overview of common grapes grown in Colorado, resulting wines and related terminology The reader is ready to travel — hopefully with journal in hand — and Mitchell divides the state into regions, with details as to times when wineries are open for visits. Weekend expeditions may be the way to organize after one takes note of hours and locations. She defines Colorado’s regions as: Grand Valley, Delta and Montrose counties, Four Corners Region, Front Range Region (north and south), Pikes Peak Region, Mountain Region. In addition to winery visits, there are numerous spots that host tasting rooms for more than one vintner — including several in the metro area which are open on Satur-

day afternoons and more. Colorado Winery Row at 4640 Pecos St. in Denver represents four wineries: Bonacquisti Wine Company, Cottonwood Cellars and The Olathe Winery, Garfield Estates Vineyard and Winery and Verso Cellars. The tasting room is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and by appointment. It exhibits work by local artists and sometimes has events with live music. Specialties are highlighted through the book: Liliputian Winery in Hotchkiss, for example, is the only producer in the U.S. of Ginger Wine, called ShangriLa — nice with sushi. After each regional grouping of wineries, Mitchell has included a listing of other things to do and see in the area. In the Delta and Montrose, West Elks Region, suggestions include: Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Morrow Point Boat Tours, the Creamery Arts Center, West Elk Scenic By-Way. For each winery, Mitchell pictures a label in color, lists how many cases are produced annually and which varieties; a message from the owner; tasting room details and other amenities; precise directions; and possible other tasting room locations.

Painter’s brushstrokes color a mystery By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The timing is perfect for B.A. Shapiro’s appearance at Highlands Ranch Library. At 6:30 p.m. on April 17, she will talk about her sixth novel — “The Art Forger,” inspired by the still-un-

solved, highly publicized 1990 theft of 13 masterpieces from the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston. Recently in the news again, there are new leads for law authorities attempting to recover the works, which are marked by empty frames at the museum. Shapiro’s complicated

story follows a young artist, Claire Roth, a s k i l l e d painter who makes her living Shapiro by copying masterpieces on order for a reproductions company. The reader with an inFREE Estimages & terest in art is fascinated Inspections by Shapiro’s detailed account of how forgeries are executed to fool today’s high-tech verification procedures, starting with an old canvas from the desired period, matching the original paints — with in-depth knowledge of the particular artist’s techniques and brushstrokes. Degas, in this situation, had clearly recognized color choices and painting style. Shapiro’s research into

the byzantine paths followed in the art world, combined with an imagined work of art and gossipy fictional tales about Isabelle Stewart Gardner, result in a leisurely spin, with side trips to late 19thcentury Paris, where Gardner and Degas were part of the swirling Impressionist world. The eccentric Gardner alone provides fodder for a book. She reportedly walked pet lions near her Fenway property in Boston, chose to start her own museum and had the money to buy a collection of masterpieces for the Italianate palace she built. Imagined letters to a fictional niece, Amelia, tie episodes together. Claire makes a Faustian deal to copy a fictional Degas painting that was included in the theft and becomes certain that it is

actually a forgery through analysis of brushstrokes and early Degas sketches. Not only is the moral aspect of fairly common copying (reproductions) versus intentional forgery explored, but a glimpse of more cynical attitudes in the museum world surfaces. Discussions about the moral aspects of Claire’s trade and her life choices should make for good bookclub meetings across the nation Shapiro, who has a background in sociology, education and software development, says in her online biography that she started writing novels with her mother’s encouragement after retiring with the birth of a second child. We read often about reinventing oneself as life brings changes. Shapiro has brought a combination of skills in writing and

research to her career as a novelist and writer of four screenplays. This reader can certainly imagine a richly colored film based on the story of Claire Roth, art forger and conflicted woman in a specialized, glamorous world.

Street art inspires abstract works ‘Whitewash’ on display in Santa Fe district By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Whitewash,” is Patricia Aaron’s title for a group of six new ink and encaustic paintings to be exhibited in a group show at Space Gallery in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District, where she is a new member. The exhibit runs from April 19 to June 1. She will be present at an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. April 19. She writes that the new works were inspired by a recent trip to Key West, where she explored behind the tourist facades to find exuberant street art, graffiti, filling walls along alleys, underpasses and schoolyards. Whitewash is the community’s method to eradicate the art. For more than 20 years, Aaron, of Greenwood Village, has been researching rogue art as historical record. She finds references pre-dating the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian civilizations. Her chosen medium for interpreting her responses to graffiti is a combination of ink and encaustic — beeswax with pigment — layered precisely to present rich, sometimes translucent effects. Her works are abstract, with suggestions of words and other markings buried in them. This technique of making art dates

The painter melts beeswax, adds pigment to small batches and brushes it on a panel in thin layers. When a layer is completed, it is

carefully heated with a torch to seal the color. The end result is a complex, inviting painting with a rich, smooth, almost glassy surface through which one can see previously applied layers of color and texture.

Townsend racks up records on track Castle View athlete likes running 100 best By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Week after week, senior Tanner Townsend keeps establishing new Castle View High School track standards. And the records he is breaking are his own. Townsend is the school record-holder in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter events. On March 30, he won the 100-meter dash at the Broomfield Shootout with a school standard 10.74, and April 6 he was first in the 200 meters at the Legend Track Clash with a 21.61 time, which lowered his own school mark. Townsend has only run in the 400 meters once this season, so his 48.93 is still listed as the best in the Castle View record book. In the April 6 meet at Sports Authority Stadium, Townsend ran in the 200 meters and on two Sabercats relay teams. “I like the 100 the best,” said Townsend, who was third in the 100-meter dash and seventh in the 200 meters at last spring’s Class 5A state meet. “Doing all the events kind of helps me. I didn’t run the 100 so I could kind of focus on the 200. “I’m just trying to reach the times I set out to reach this season because that’s my main thing, going to state. I’m very happy, I’ve been progressing every meet. I need to get my 400 time down and that will be good.” Townsend, a standout on the Sabercats football team, is headed to the University of Sioux Falls to play football and run track next year, but for the time being Castle View coach Ryan Whitenack has to figure out what events to have his star sprinter enter. “He runs the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes for us and holds the school records in all of them,” said Whitenack. “Tanner has the ability to run a variety of distances, which is awesome for our team. There are so many that he can do that, as his coach, it is hard to choose his events week in and

Castle View’s Tanner Townsend won the 200-meter race in 21.61 at the Legend Track Clash on April 6. Photo by Jim Benton week out. However, that is a nice problem to have.” Townsend was one of three boys who attend Douglas County schools to win events at the April 6 track meet. Rock Canyon’s Colin Borner edged his teammate Austin Kiel to win the pole vault with a 13-foot vault, and the Jaguars’ Cam-

eron Gill captured the triple jump with a 4503.50 leap. “I could have done better, but our practice last week was really, really hard,” Gill said. “We were set up up like the week of state. I didn’t get a PR but a 45-3 was acceptable.” Gill, a senior who accepted a track schol-

arship to Western State, was the triple jump runner-up at last season’s state meet. “So far I’m happy but I could always do better,” he said. “I’ve been staying consistent. I want to get first at state. The vision is to get there but the goal is to win it.” There were three Douglas County girls Records continues on Page 27

Ponderosa’s Keogh grows as tennis player Senior will play basketball in college By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Three years ago, Kari Keogh was searching for something to do when not playing basketball. She opted to play tennis, and the Ponderosa senior has developed into a solid No. 3 singles player. “I started playing tennis my freshman year,” Keogh said. “I wanted a second sport to go with basketball. Tennis is so fun. I still haven’t mastered it, that’s for sure. I joined tennis because my friends were doing it and it was a no-cut sport, so I decided I would just give it a shot.” Keogh, headed for St. Olaf College next year to study and play basketball, made plenty of shots last season for the Ponderosa basketball team. She was the Continental League’s leading scorer during the regular season with a

16.6 scoring average, and topped all players with 147 made free throws. “I think if I took tennis more seriously year-round, I could be a lot better, but basketball is really my passion,” Keogh said. “I’m really in shape, which I find a lot of time in tennis, girls aren’t. And my footwork, it all comes from basketball. Basketball and tennis cross-train a lot.” Keogh was undefeated last season in tennis, but suffered her first loss in the second round of the state tournament. She hasn’t lost in four matches this season and defeated Littleton’s Anna Sonja 6-0, 6-0 April 4 in a Continental League dual meet at Littleton. “If Kari would have started at a younger age in tennis, she could have easily gotten a tennis scholarship,” Ponderosa coach Lisa Damico said. “She is so confident now. She went undefeated last year but she was uncertain in a lot of matches. This year she’s very calm and very certain. She’s not cocky, but just certain.

“It will take someone with really good tournament experience to beat Kari. She has never had a private lesson. She’s just all natural. Someone who grew up playing at age 8, was formally taught and plays tournaments year around will have a shot at her.” Keogh won a long first game that went to deuce four times against Sonja, and then went on to post an easy straight-set victory. “I think I’ve gotten a lot better,” Keogh said. “I started playing doubles and I liked it a lot, and now I practice a little more in singles. I’m trying to come to the net more, that’s where I like to be. When I played doubles, that was my favorite part. I try to get up there when I can. “I really want to make it further (in the state tournament) than last year. I want to place this year. That’s my goal, to stay undefeated and place at state. It takes me a long time to get in the groove, but I’m on track to meet my goal. I’ve got really good No. 1 (Lauren Lindell) and No. 2 singles (Brittany

Ponderosa’s No. 1 doubles team of freshmen Allison Smith and Lindsey Schroeder and the Mustangs No. 2 doubles pair of seniors Carly Lauer and Codi Morton won their matches to provide the winning margin over Littleton.

Valor coach has eye on at-bats Score not whole story in victory, Wahl says By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com The scoreboard appeared to tell the whole story, but Valor Christian baseball coach Keith Wahl said there was more. Host Valor Christian pounded out 18 hits in 4 1/3 innings en route to a 14-4 victory over Littleton on April 3. “We brought the bats really well,” Wahl said of his team, which had a .364 team batting average after the season’s first nine games. “We actually don’t talk about hits. We talk about quality at-bats. We posted 29 quality at-bats, which is the best we’ve done this year. A quality at-bat is a bunt, it’s moving guys over, its seven-pitch at-bats and things like that.” The Eagles have bought into the productive at-bat philosophy. “It’s a tough lesson to learn but the second you learn it, you see how it works,” Valor senior leadoff hitter Daniel Lund said. “It’s one of those things that once you figure it out, wow, this is really clicking and it’s helping our team out more than me individually. “If you advance a runner from second to third, that’s a big out. It’s not a hit but it definitely helps us. A quality at-bat is basically a way to measure how you are hitting. You don’t want to always measure on average.” However, for those who are only interested in what appears in the box score, Lund went 4-for-4 and scored three runs in the victory over the Lions.

Valor Christian starting pitcher Daniel Butler did not walk a batter in five innings of work in his team’s 14-4 win over Littleton on April 3. Photo by Jim Benton “I just try to get our team fired up especially on that first at-bat,” Lund said. “I always try to have a good approach and try and work the pitcher as much as I can. As a leadoff hitter, you can’t strike out.” Cleanup hitter Hayden Gerlach, who is returning from an injury, went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a run batted in and a run scored. Eagles starting pitcher Daniel Butler, who allowed seven hits but didn’t walk a batter in five innings of work, helped his own cause with two hits and five RBIs. After the win over Littleton, Valor Christian collected 23 hits, scoring seven runs

in the first inning and six in the seventh in a 13-1 win over Dakota Ridge. Lund went 5-for-5 as the Eagles won their fourth straight game. However, Class 4A Valor saw its season record dip to 5-6 when the Eagles were limited to three hits in a 10-1 setback April 6 to Pine Creek, which came into the game at the state’s top-ranked Class 5A team. “We had a little slip-up early in the year, but we’re starting to come together as a group,” Lund said. “We believe in each other. Our motto is brotherhood.” Littleton coach Micah Bernhardt be-

Legend baseball wins three

Continental League play opened Monday and last year’s Class 5A

state runner-ups Legend warmed up with three victories. The highlight of last week’s action was the Titans’ 6-4 victory over Pine Creek April 2, when Anthony Kaasch belted a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh. Michael Klein limited Dakota Ridge to one run over six innings and hit a two-run homer in Mountain Vista’s 7-1 victory. Chaparral also notched a victory over Dakota Ridge as Max Kuhns allowed just one hit over five innings in an 11-0 triumph.

Dismuke tops in lacrosse goals

Rock Canyon senior Wilkins Dismuke leads the Douglas County boys lacrosse league with 27 goals and Colton McCaffrey of Chaparral is leader in points with 36 heading into this week’s action. Kirsten Greenlaw of ThunderRidge is the Continental League girls leader with 36 goals and 49 points.

lieves his team will be able to shake its inability to get clutch hits. The Lions opened the season with a 3-0 victory over Denver North when Chris Jansky threw a no-hitter, but the loss to Valor was Littleton’s seventh in a row. “We’re having trouble pushing runs across the plate,” Bernhardt said. “We’re getting guys on and guys in scoring position. The more times they get put in that position, I’m confident they’ll start coming through. Our defense has been solid. Our pitchers are throwing strikes.” Ryan Ireland and Sean Wake each collected two hits against the Eagles.

that were credited with firstplace finishes. Ponderosa’s Sarah Lark had the fastest time of 26.12 in the 200-meter dash to edge Castle View’s Brittany Reiner. Megan Cooney of Rock Canyon ran a 5:32.53 to lead all runners in the 1,600 run, and Rock Canyon senior Kelsey Lindemann was best in the shot put with a throw of 365.75. “I got a PR, which was very exciting, and I won, which was real exciting too,” said Lindemann. “It was a real good meet for me because I’ve been having bad meets. It was really good to get me back. The biggest key was staying loose and having fun. “I work hard and do my

best, but I’m having a hard time being consistent and having it all together at the right time.” Rock Canyon had it all together and finished high in both the boys and girls standings. Cherokee Trail was the team champion in both divisions. The Rock Canyon girls were second and the Jaguar boys finished third. Castle View’s girls tied Cherry Creek for third place and the Sabercats boys team wound up sixth. Legend and Ponderosa also had teams in the meet. “This was like our meet,” Gill said. “We did very well. Everyone I’ve talked to had PRs. For a young school, we did very well.”

Falcons player gets a kick from scoring

Plummer key for girls soccer team By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Like most goal scorers, Jenny Plummer is inspired when she scores. On an April 2 afternoon with a cold drizzle falling on the field at Legend High School, Plummer scored all three Highlands Ranch goals in a 3-2 Continental League girls soccer victory over the Titans.

“As soon as I score, I get really pumped up and excited to play the rest of the game,” Plummer said. “It’s really great to be a top scorer.” Plummer put the Falcons up 1-0 on a free kick from 50 yards out, which bounced over the goalkeeper’s head and into the goal. She pushed Highlands Ranch in front 2-1 before halftime, when her shot from the left side hit off the side netting and deflected through the goalkeeper’s legs. Highlands Ranch, playing without five regular players because of injuries, sickness and spring break, went up 3-1 in the second half when Tanner Kidd faked a free

kick from 30 yards away and Plummer sent a shot along the ground and into the goal for what turned out to be the game-winning tally. “We did a set piece,” Plummer explained. Plummer, a junior, has scored five of the eight goals Highlands Ranch has scored this season, and all five tallies have come in the past three games. The April 2 victory was the fourth straight for the Falcons, who improved to 3-0-0 in the Continental League and 4-2-0 overall. “We had a tough non-league,” said Highlands Ranch coach Randy Hodous. “We need to keep improving, stay confident on

the ball and get the most out of each of our players of what their strengths are. Jenny is a good attacking player. Tanner Kidd is a good distributor for us. Our back line does a good job. We have to keep getting better and better. It is important for us to feel confident with the ball.” Legend, still looking for its first win, fell to 0-3-1 in the league and 0-5-1 overall, but controlled play most of the second half against Highlands Ranch. The Titans had just two goals in five previous games, but matched their season output against the Falcons when Cassi VanDeventer and Drew Guillen scored goals.
