Decades later, soldier laid to rest Floyd Jackson died in 1951, DNA aids identification of remains

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Army Sgt. Floyd Jackson died more than 60 years ago. But loved ones — his mother, brothers and sisters, family friends — never had the chance for final closure or to honor a fallen hero with a full military funeral. Jackson paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he died in a Korean prisoner of war camp half the world away. Those same loved ones were plagued first with nagging, then lingering, then permanent unanswered questions. Until recently, that is. Because the right people were in the right place at the right time, Jackson was laid to rest next to his mother on March 7 in Olinger Chapel Hill Cemetery in Centennial — six decades after he died in the POW camp. “Uncle Floyd died before I was born, but my family talked about how he died in prisoner of war camp,” said Joanne Mueller, Jackson’s niece and closest relative. “My daughter was looking at a family album and asked about Uncle Floyd. Not long after that, we went to a meeting for families of service personnel missing in action. The Army asked for a DNA samples from the family. That was in 2004.” It took until January for the government,
“This is my fourth military funeral, and each one is nerve-racking. I go over the words in my head, but it is hard to speak those words when you look into For more photos and a video the eyes of the loved of the ceremony for Army one receiving the Sgt. Floyd Jackson, go to flag.” HighlandsRanchHerald.net Jackson was born in Warrensburg, Mo., in 1930. His mother brought her six children to Littleton about 1949 after her husband died. Jackson was a teenager and worked in the kitchen at Bradley Café in the Coors Building in Littleton until he joined the Army. Jackson joined the Army in 1950. He was sent to the Far East and became a member of the 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, and 7th Infantry Division. His unit was deployed near the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950 and their position was overwhelmed by hundreds of Chinese soldiers. Jackson was among those captured and taken to a Korean prisoner of war camp. A soldier returning from the camp in 1953 said Jackson died on Feb. 13, 1951. His remains were not included in the more than 1,400 remains the Koreans returned in 1954. Remains of additional American military

So, I told my children, that, if Uncle Floyd’s remains were identified and he was returned home after I died, to bury him next to his mother.” Though they are full of beautiful details and precision movement, military funerals are never easy, said 1st Lt. Joseph Zarella, commander of an honor guard from Fort Carson.
Fox Creek Elementary hosts first book signing By Christy Steadman

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Highlands Ranch High School teacher Joe Chandler collapsed and died while on a cruise last year, it devastated his wife, students and the school’s staff — including his good friend, English teacher Bas Wolf. “It was this universal response of ‘No, not Joe,’ this incredible charismatic person that everybody loved,” Wolf said. “He had a gift for kids a lot of other people would have given up on. He was this father figure that none of them knew they needed.” So when Wolf was asked to take over Chandler’s Alternative Cooperative Education program for at-risk kids, he accepted it as both a way to honor his friend and aid the students to whom Chandler was devoted. “These kids were incredibly hurt and needed somebody consistent in their lives,” said Wolf. “It was on my heart to support them and be there to help them through this.” No one was prouder than Wolf when the ACE students successfully pitched a business ACE continues on Page 10

Second-graders become published authors
The second-graders of Fox Creek Elementary spent all day practicing how to sign their autograph in a book about beavers. In their individual classrooms, they passed around the book they collaboratively wrote, and practiced how to quickly find the page to which they contributed. Crystal Winter, Mellissa Baskall and Tina Petrick, Fox Creek’s second-grade teachers, were preparing their students March 5 for their first book-signing event that evening at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch. “We practiced being professional,” Petrick said, “because this is a professional book signing. We’re authors and illustrators.” Each class produced a published non-fiction book about beavers, in which every student has a page or two that they created — the writing and the illustrations.

Sailor surprises family with early arrival Highlands Ranch officer spent seven months in Afghanistan By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com On Feb. 11, Tiffany Anglesey had plans to meet her sister, Kristal, at an Italian restaurant, but she was not feeling well that day and repeatedly tried to cancel the dinner date. The 32-year-old mother of three, 38 weeks pregnant with a fourth baby at the time, could not understand why Kristal relentlessly would not take no for an answer. That is, until the restaurant’s hostess led Tiffany to her reserved table in the back corner of the room, and she saw her husband — Navy Lt. Cmdr. Kory Anglesey, 37 — standing
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Kory Anglesey jumps out of a box on Feb. 12 to give his son, Fletcher, 2, a homecoming surprise. Later that day, Kory went to Saddle Ranch Elementary to surprise his other two children—Braxton, 6, in his firstgrade classroom; and Alexa, 4, in her preschool class.

at the table for two. “I thought it would be fun because I don’t get many opportunities to surprise her or the kids,” he said. The hug the two shared at Pizza Republica in Greenwood Village that night was the first in seven months since Kory was deployed to Afghanistan. Tiffany was in complete shock to see him there, she said, because she wasn’t expecting to pick him up at the airport until Feb. 16. “It was the biggest relief,” Tiffany said. “I’ve been living a lifestyle of wondering if my husband would ever make it back. Never again will I take for granted the moments I have with him. This deployment has made me cherish every minute we have together.” The two went back to their residence in Highlands Ranch that evening, but Kory hid in an extra bedroom of the home. It was hard to stay hidden from the kids, the active duty officer said, but the smiles on their faces the next day made it worth it. Fletcher, 2, got his surprise first — Kory jumped out of a box situated in the living room as soon as Fletcher and Tiffany returned home after dropping the older two children off at school. After lunch, the Angleseys went to Saddle Ranch Elementary to surprise the other two children — Braxton, 6, in his first-grade classroom; and Alexa, 4, in her preschool class. It was a really cool experience for them, Tiffany said. “It’s something nobody else in their classes had experienced.” Kory’s homecoming came just in time. On Feb. 22, Tiffany gave birth to a girl named Kaylee. Kory joined the Navy in 2001, and is career military. He has been deployed twice in the past three years — a total of 20 months away from home. Tiffany worried about him every day, she said. “With every unrecognizable phone call, I would stop dead in my tracks, scared of being informed that my husband was seriously injured,” Tiffany said. “With every knock at the door, I worried there would be two uniformed soldiers on the other side with bad news.” During his first deployment in 2012, the children didn’t really understand what was happening abroad, she said. “This time,” she said, “they were much more aware of what their daddy does, and

On Feb. 11 and 12, Kory gave his family a special homecoming surprise after seven months of deployment. Courtesy photo how he keeps all of us here at home safe.” Braxton started to pay attention to the news about the war, Kory said, and began to realize Afghanistan wasn’t a very safe place to be. So Tiffany did everything she could to keep them distracted, she said. “I made family the ultimate priority,” Tiffany said. “Highlands Ranch is the best place to live because it provides lots of opportunities for families to spend time together.” They would swim at the recreation centers, play at Civic Green Park, regularly attend church and read at the library, she said. Extended family and the children’s teachers also provided a lot of support, she added. But what really helped was being able to talk to Kory during their allotted time of one hour, twice a week, Tiffany said. “It reassured them that their daddy was OK,” she said. The military offers a lot of different programs for families of those in the service, Kory said, and recommends they utilize these re-
sources to their utmost ability. However, a strong support group of friends, and even community members who may at first be strangers, is just as important, he said. “Never assume the families have all the help they need,” Kory said. While in Afghanistan, Kory was part of Afghanistan-Pakistan Hands, a program designed to develop a group of experts to specialize in relations and complexities surrounding Afghanistan and Pakistan. Military officers master the foreign language, culture, processes and challenges in these countries. But now, Kory will be returning to his normal job as a civil engineer with the Seabees, the Navy’s mobile construction battalion. The war seems to be winding down, but Kory urges everybody to remember the Americans who are still serving abroad — far from their communities, family and friends. “Whatever the reason, some people don’t realize we’re still out there,” he said. “But we still have troops in harm’s way. I ask people not to forget about them.”

Story of Navy SEAL inspires sixth-grader Summit View Elementary student coordinates run to spotlight fallen veterans By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com A book changed Summit View Elementary sixth-grader Blake Shepardson’s young life, and galvanized his entire school around an upcoming fundraiser. Blake chose to read “Fearless,” the true story of Navy SEAL Adam Brown, as an assignment for Neal Clark’s language-arts class. His dad recommended the book, never anticipating its impact. Blake’s now the lead coordinator for a March 18 run and fundraiser at the school, found a sponsor, invited veteran Navy SEALS to participate, has contacted the book’s author and has also become a more dedicated student. Like Brown, Blake’s also decided he wants to someday work in the military. Having read about the challenges Brown faced gave the Highlands Ranch 11-year-old a new sense of determination. “I didn’t really relate to him because I’ve never seen a person like Adam that would never quit,” he said. “He was an underdog. The way he overcame his obstacles really amazed me. He would push through the pain and persevere. “(I learned) if I can’t do it one way, you’re going to have to do it another.” Author Eric Blehm’s “Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown,” tells the life story of Brown, who died a hero in Afghan-
Summit View Elementary teacher Neal Clark stands with sixth-grader Blake Shepardson, who’s organizing a fundraiser inspired by a book he read for Mr. Blake’s Language Arts class. Photo by Jane Reuter istan on March 17, 2010. The Adam Brown 5K Shamrock Run started in Brown’s hometown of Pearcy, Arkansas in 2011. Summit View will host a small-scale version of Adam Brown’s Shamrock Run at 2 p.m. March 18. Students will have three separate 10-minute opportunities
to run and do military-style exercises during the event. Blake is hoping the veteran Navy SEALs he’s invited will come and add some Hell Week-variety elements to it. When Aspire Beverages co-founder Jesse Parker visited the school to talk about creating a successful business, Blake asked him if he would donate beverages for the run. Parker agreed. Proceeds from Summit View’s event will benefit the Adam Brown Legacy Fund, which contributes to a variety of other charities. While staff and other students are helping, Blake “is in charge of everything,” said Clark, who was so struck by Blake’s passion when he read his book report that he researched Brown as well and urged his student on. “He wrote a letter to the charity, informed the district about it, set it up with our principal, invited the Navy SEALs, and will help run the event as well.” “The entire staff has taken this on,” said Principal Sheri Coll. “Talk about sustainable learning at its best — this is the true definition of 21st-century learning.” Twenty-first century learning emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, communication, collaboration and creativity. Blake isn’t consciously thinking about those skills. He’s just following a newly found passion, and doing things he would never have considered before reading the book. “I’m really excited about it,” he said. “The biggest thing I’ve learned is just because you’re not the same as everyone else, that doesn’t mean you can’t do something.” For more information on the Summit View, visit sites. google.com/a/dcsdk12.org/summit-view/.

New event centers offer gathering space Hosts have freedom to customize everything By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two new event centers coming to the south metro area will offer people a new gathering place for special occasions. The Falls Event Center coming to Centennial will be a 14,300-square-foot building near the southeast corner of East Costilla Avenue and South Fulton Street. The same company will open a Littleton location, a 12,000-squarefoot venue in the SouthPark area near Santa Fe Drive and C-470. Both event centers will offer guests an elegant space to host a gathering, said John Neubauer, corporate general manager for The Falls Event Center. The Falls Event Center is different in that it allows the event’s host to be in charge of everything. “They are truly venues,” Neubauer said. “People just rent the space.” Renters have the freedom to decorate the space however they want for their event, he
Pictured is a night view of The Falls Event Center in Elk Grove, Calif. The new locations coming to Centennial and Littleton will have the same “look and feel,” said the company’s corporate general manager. To learn more about the new event centers, visit www.thefallseventcenter.com. Photo by George Frey said, and bring in their own caterers and licensed bartenders. All audio and visual equipment is included. The purpose is to make the venue userfriendly without having to charge for all the extra things people usually get charged for when renting a venue for a special event, Neubauer said. The buildings at both locations will include large and small conference rooms, for corporate or business meetings, Neubauer said, and a main event hall for wedding recep-
tions, quinceañeras, family reunions or any other type of large gathering. The buildings are expected to be able to accommodate 300-350 people, and the host may rent it for part of the day or the entire day, he said. The Littleton location “is a really good destination site,” Neubauer said, adding that the views are beautiful, with the Denver skyline in the background and the Rocky Mountains to the west. The Centennial location offers private,
landscaped areas with bridges and streams, which allows people the opportunity to “get some great pictures,” Neubauer said. Centennial’s event center will be centrally located in the city, said Centennial’s principal planner, Derek Holcomb, and in close proximity to other complementary uses, such as hotels and restaurants. “It will provide a great opportunity for residents and non-residents alike to experience the many other great businesses and attractions the city has to offer,” he said. The Falls Event Center is in the process of obtaining the building permit for the Littleton location, with the hopes of beginning construction around May 1 and finishing by the end of 2015, Neubauer said. The Centennial location is a few months behind Littleton, he said, and will be obtaining the building contract by July, and construction will start shortly after. The Falls Event Center LLC was formed in Utah in 2011, Neubauer said. The first event center opened in St. George, Utah, in 2013, and this year, other locations are to include Utah, California and Arizona. A location in Colorado Springs will be Colorado’s third site. “Denver is a really good place to be,” Neubauer said. “We expect the centers to be well received.”

Young women honored for their participation By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school athletes have higher grade-point averages, better attendance, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems than non-athletes, statistics show. Girls’ participation in high school sports nationally set a record in 2013-14, yet boys still outnumber them on the athletic field, and attendance at boys’ sporting events typically is higher than at girls’. In the Douglas County School District, 6,500 female students participate in sports. It’s a good number, but given the proven benefits of participation, district leaders would like to see it rise. “We consider it to be an extension of our educational programming,” said Ann Orcutt, administrative assistant at DCSD’s activities, athletics and student leadership department. In large part to encourage more female participation in sports, the Douglas County School District and Douglas County Educational Foundation pay annual tribute to them. A total of 117 girls — 45 from DCSD high schools and 72 from its middle schools — were honored earlier this winter at the 10th annual Girls and Women in Sports Luncheon. It coincided with the 29th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day, celebrated Feb. 4. The day began in
1987 in memory of Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman, who promoted equality for women’s sports. Local students are invited to the lunch based on their athletic talent and participation, and student leadership. “They’re all-around great kids and kind people,” Orcutt said. The difference in the perception of male and female athletes isn’t lost on even young participants. “This week, (our school was) doing a bunch of advertisements for boys basketball, and they haven’t done any advertisements for any other sport,” said Amanda Marlow, a volleyball player at Mountain Ridge Middle School who was among the 117 recognized. “I thought that was weird.” “I like the competition in sports, how you have to work harder to get better,” said Emilee Sloan, another Mountain Ridge Middle School volleyball player and recent honoree. “But I think girls don’t get enough credit for doing sports.” Marlow’s mother, Kim, who went to college on a volleyball scholarship, clearly sees how it benefits her daughter. “I think it keeps her organized and helps her prioritize,” she said. “She has practice most days of the week and most Saturdays and Sundays. So she’s been a very, very busy kid. Yet she gets almost straight A’s in school. “I think women’s athletics has come a long way. But I don’t know why we think men’s athletics are so exciting, why everybody wants to go see it and not necessarily women’s.” The recent recognition and lunch reinforced many of the young participants’ belief in the value of sports. “I felt pretty happy about myself that I worked hard and was a good teammate,” Sloan said. “It was cool to see all the other girls getting honored, too.”

Local piano students perform, compete South Suburban Music Teachers Association hosts annual Masterworks Festival

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Since last fall, about 80 piano students have been brushing up on their Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. A two-day competition and recital gave them the opportunity to show off their skills during the South Suburban Music Teachers Association’s annual Masterworks Festival. The six-hour competition took place on March 7 at the Arma Dei Academy in Highlands Ranch. Each student played in front of two anonymous judges, said Ardith Sloan, chair of the festival. The judges come from all over Colorado for anonymity, and the students enter with only their first names, she said, so the judging is fair and unbiased. “Each student plays two memorized selections of contrasting moods,” Sloan said, “from two different periods of music history.” Students were able to choose something from either the Baroque or Classical eras as one choice; and the Romantic, Impressionistic or Contemporary eras for the second choice, Sloan said. Of the 80 student entrants, 47 scored high enough to perform during of two honors recitals, which took place on March 8 at Skyview Presbyterian Church in Centennial. The South Suburban Music Teachers Association is a local chapter of the Colorado State Music Teachers Association and Music Teachers National Association. To be qualified as a teacher for the national association, teachers must receive additional training to meet the national regulations, Sloan said. “It’s almost like earning an extra degree,” she added. The south suburban music teachers teach in Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood and Parker. For more information, visit www.ssmtamusicteachers.org.

watched her hand-crafted vehicle repeatedly slam into a piece of wood. Inside, surrounded by Styrofoam, was a still-uncracked raw egg. The STEM Academy student was participating in the Crash Test event, which tests a student-designed car’s ability to safely transport an egg through increasingly severe impacts. Coleman’s egg never cracked, which secured her a first place in the 2015 Colorado Technology Student Association State Leadership Exposition, held Feb. 19-21 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center Hotel. She also earned a first in the Communications Challenge. “I got up to get my first medal, sat back down, and they announced my name again two minutes later,” she said. “I was really surprised. I felt really, really happy.” The Acres Green seventh-grader is among about 40 students from the Highlands Ranch STEM school who qualified during the state event to participate in this summer’s National TSA Conference in Dallas. About 150 STEM students competed. Mountain Vista High School took 57 students to the exposition, with 21 qualifying for nationals. Mountain Vista sophomore Alec Yagey was elected sergeant-at-arms for the state TSA organization, one of just seven students statewide who serves on the team and the high school’s first state TSA officer. About 1,300 students statewide competed during the state event. Douglas County award winners also included students and teams from Castle View, Legend and Rock Canyon high schools, and Cimarron and Cresthill middle schools. The broad range of events in which they competed included animatronics, architectural renovation, castle ballistics, biotechnology and engineering design, software development, video game design and underwater remote vehicles. STEM’s middle school chapter also was named Chapter of the Year, and STEM teacher Mike Shallenberger was awarded

Courtesy photo TSA Advisor of the Year. STEM traditionally has done well at the state event, in part because of its focus on subjects that naturally dovetail with TSA. It’s also among few schools that have both a middle and high school TSA chapter. “STEM obviously is a focus for our school,” Shallenberger said. “But honestly, I really think the way we run our chapter is very different in that we don’t focus on the win. We focus on the kid and the learning, the process. We focus on building community. The wins just kind of come out of that.” Mountain Vista TSA adviser Kent Allison said the club is an ideal fit for many of the high school’s students. “Our principal, Mike Weaver, has always encouraged us to have the best comprehensive high school in the state,” he said. “That’s everything from having good sports, band and drama programs and then the academics that go along with it. It’s about finding opportunities for every
kid in high school. What’s exciting about TSA is it gives them a different avenue to show off their talents. “I’m just super proud of them.” Shallenberger believes the awards suggest good days ahead for his students. “This is a great example of how we pre-
pare kids for the real world,” he said. “I want to focus on preparing kids for jobs that don’t exist yet. So when you look a t these forward-thinking competitions, and the fact that we do well in them, I think that probably speaks to the fact we are preparing kids for the future.”

Being go-to person offers big benefits You know that moment where we need help with a situation or project and someone around us says, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy?” Sometimes they don’t just say it, they whisper it like it’s a best-kept secret or like it’s the kind of situation or project that calls for the kind of guy that shows up in the shadows, comes from the underworld, and has a crooked smile where the short end of a cigar dangles from the corner of his lips. You know the feeling right, that, “I’ve got a guy from Detroit,” or ‘I’ve got a guy from New York,” who can really help you with anything — that kind of feeling. Since I am originally from New Jersey, I joke around a lot with my friends about this subject. Anytime that they bring up a situation or express a need, I say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy.” Now the truth is that in most situations I do have a guy, or a gal, or a company who can help them out. You see, I have developed a fairly robust network of friends, colleagues, contractors, customers and associates who are always willing to help out if and when I need them. And one of my favorite things to do is to help connect the dots where I can so that I can help as many people as possible whenever I can. Some people call it networking and that is fine, because I guess that is what it really is at the end of the day. I prefer to feel like I am building solid win-win relationships with people who also understand that they can contact me at any time as well should
my skills, resources or services be of value to them in their time of need. Now the network of friends, people and companies I have developed and nurtured to become what they are did not happen overnight. This has been a lifetime of giving back to them, demonstrating my love and loyalty and willingness to help. Being available to talk or act as needed. As a matter of fact, throughout my career I have made it a point to continually reach out and stay in touch with as many people as possible. A very proactive approach to staying connected. Some of you may say, well that’s just not my thing, or that is not important to me. And that’s OK, I just wanted to give you some of the benefits I see when it comes to having a guy or gal or someone you can go to in time of need. Or better yet, the benefit of being that guy or gal when someone calls you in their time of need. Recently I have helped connect the dots for people looking for work. I get resumes all the time and I always promise to keep
my eyes and ears open for opportunities to share those resumes. And recently that has worked out well for a few of my connections. When a friend of mine from New Jersey had a son visiting Colorado and needed assistance with some short-term housing, I was able to help. And when I was traveling and away from my home when a blizzard hit, I had a guy I called who handled all of the snow removal at my home so I didn’t return in the middle of the night to a driveway full of snow. (Thank you, Tim.) You see, having a “go-to” person or being that “go-to” person really does have its benefits. And when we take the time to build those relationships over the course of a lifetime, we will have such a vast network of people who are always willing to help us and we will have such a sense of accomplishment as we are able to look back on each time or event where we were placed in a position to help others as well. Are you that “I’ve got a guy” or “I’ve got a gal” kind of person? Can your skills, resources, or services be of benefit to someone else today? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we become part of someone else’s network while building a network of our own, it really will be a better than good week.

When it comes to list, ice cream topping it I have a question. Name one thing that is loved, treasured and appreciated all over the world. Family, friends, sex, God and soup might be too easy. Jennifer and I came up with fruits and vegetables, and dogs and cats. She said chocolate. I said music, but that seems too inclusive. Opera and hip-hop are not loved all over the world. Or even downstairs. Art? But that’s a very big umbrella too. Shoes? Sure. And that’s all the way from Imelda Marcos, who owned over a thousand pairs of shoes, to Charlie Chaplin’s tramp, who owned only one pair — but they made him famous. Of course, going without shoes is common too. I grew up in a home where shoes were removed as soon as you walked in. Or else. Guests could leave theirs on. I think the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Ten. Maybe the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Five. I can live without my computer. For a couple of hours. Books? They would be in my Top Ten. Cell phones? Probably. Unfortunately. Not me. Live performances? I think so. My pen pal Anne Akiko Meyers plays her violin all over the planet.
There are many other kinds of live performances. Cirque du Soleil goes absolutely everywhere, and everyone goes home happy. Who doesn’t like pencils? Coffee, soft drinks and hamburgers have huge admiring audiences. Is there anything more ubiquitous than Coca-Cola? I don’t think so. I came up with the best answer. Invite one man, one woman and one child from every country in the world and sit them down in a stadium and hand them a bowl and a spoon. And two scoops of ice cream. There you are: It’s ice cream. We all love it. I know. I know. Some of us are lactoseintolerant. Maybe my answer isn’t the best, because approximately 65 percent of adults have a reduced ability to digest lactose
Feds need to help counties in West For decades, communities across Colorado and the West have engaged in a contract with the federal government. This is because many counties have large swaths of federal land within their borders in the form of BLM land, national forests, and national parks and monuments. These lands aren’t taxable, and local communities often cover the expenses of maintaining access to these lands and providing safety and other first-responder services. To help offset those losses, the federal government has reimbursed states and counties through a program called Payment in Lieu of Taxes. It’s often referred to as PILT. Colorado is 36 percent federal land, and some counties in the state contain more
than 90 percent federal land, making PILT critical to their budgets and planning. Twelve counties depend on more than $1 million a year in PILT funding, and Garfield and Mesa counties rely on more than Bennet continues on Page 9
after infancy. And it’s 90 percent in people of East Asian descent. Okay. Let’s forget about ice cream. But it would be in my Top Ten. And I can be more specific. Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Caramel Fudge. The balancing act of those three components is sublime. There is nothing else like it. I can do just fine with vanilla, all by itself. Vanilla has become a derogatory adjective, but not with me. And then there is Vanilla Ice, which isn’t a frozen dessert at all. The former rapper was arrested in February on charges of burglary and grand theft. The caramel aligns neatly with the vanilla, and along comes fudge to make everything perfection. It’s not a freak like some of their other flavors. In fact, you could make it yourself. But I wouldn’t get the percentages just right, and they do. Dogs — not cats — would be in my Top Ten. Maybe I should have just said “pets,” because many of us have birds and fish and ferrets and hamsters, although I don’t know why, when you can own a dachshund.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Students need incentive on state tests
I was an educator for over 30 years. I taught high school for 27 years and I believe I had an excellent rapport with most students. When it came to CSAP, TCAP (now PARCC) exams, many told me they simply didn’t care about them. Why should they? The tests don’t count. Just another test. This is the elephant in the room: Students have little if no incentive to take the exams. Thus, there is an outspoken and growing group of parents and their school-aged children opting out of taking the test. Since the pupils don’t see the benefit or value of the tests to them, threatening teachers’ salaries or school funding won’t compel them to change their minds. What is important for most parents and students are grades and money for college. Help solve this issue by getting students invested in taking the test. How about making the state-exam results a percentage of GPA? Maybe Letter continues on Page 9

$3 million in funding. In 2014, Colorado counties were owed $34.5 million in total. Communities use this money to fund critical services, such as law enforcement, fire protection, emergency response programs, road and bridge maintenance, and search and rescue operations. In recent years, ensuring the federal government lives up to its end of the bargain has been difficult. With the end of mandatory funding due to congressional inaction, funding now has to be reauthorized every year. With all of the dysfunction in Washington, we’ve had some close calls. Many times counties have been forced to wait until deep into the fiscal year. Two years ago, we were able to secure a one-year PILT extension in the 2014 Farm Bill after it was omitted from a government funding bill. For 2015, we funded it by cobbling together resources from two different bills. But there is no guarantee for 2016. We’ve seen similar problems with a program called Secure Rural Schools, which has a similar purpose and has actually expired completely. Counties rely on the that program to provide critical services like maintenance projects and forest

restoration, and it’s an important resource for rural schools. In 2014, Colorado’s rural communities received more than $10 million in SRS money. With its expiration, many rural school districts are facing tremendous budget shortfalls that will impair their ability to educate our students. With these programs in jeopardy, we joined forces with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho to introduce a bill to restore mandatory funding for the PILT program and extend the SRS program for three years. It will provide roughly $360 million annually for more than 700 counties across the nation. These resources are an essential lifeline for communities facing continuously shrinking budgets, and it is funding the federal government owes to them. We have worked with Colorado counties for years on these issues and have heard from county commissioners and school districts across the state about their significance. The counties encompassing the San Juan Mountains rely on PILT funding to plow the region’s scenic mountain passes and roads, like Yankee Boy Basin Road in Ouray County, that attract thousands of visitors annually. In Gunnison County, the funding is crucial for conducting search and rescue operations in the national forests, as well as for maintaining road access to the forests. In Silverton, SRS

Six of the students were special awards winners, and three were first or second place category winners, and will advance to the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair at Colorado State University April 9-11. The award-winning students are: Grant Shumacher, Gabrielle Van Sant, Allison Kakos, Alex Rivera, Jason Vasquez, Matthew Allpass, Alyssa Zak, Emma Walilko and Fiona Nemanov. In addition to these regional award winners, the in-house SkyView Science Fair winners included Casey Knapke, Connor Simpson, Claire Guintini and Emma Walilko, who won the overall prize at
SkyView Academy this year.
funding makes up a significant portion of the school budget. If Chaffee County lost PILT funding, commissioners would be forced to make devastating cuts that could result in a loss of emergency medical services. The federal government has made a promise to these rural communities. There is no reason for Congress to leave them in
limbo year after year. Our bill ensures that local governments have the certainty they need to plan and budget so they can provide these crucial services. It’s time for the federal government to honor its contract with Colorado counties.

school, which, in part, includes reallife application, Baskall said. Case studies make up the expeditions, she said, and the second-graders did two case studies: one on beavers, in which they worked in small groups; and one on their choice of any Colorado animal, in which they worked individually. The beaver case study included field work, Baskall said. The classes
The idea for the project was created with Chandler’s guidance. “He was very much on our minds (during the presentation),” ACE student Lexii Villanueva said. “He was a teacher, a counselor and a friend — someone you could always go to. We pushed to keep this going for him and for ourselves.” On March 4, ACE students pitched the idea again to fellow classmates and high school administrators. Most wore black T-shirts created in Chandler’s honor; the front includes a tree and the words “ACE Family Strong,” and the back has a Joe Chandler quote: “Hope is not a plan.” went to South Platte Park and gathered data, which they submitted to the park, she said, plus they got to build a model of a beaver lodge. The books about beavers were part of their literary studies, Baskall said. It took them several drafts to produce the high-quality work they did, she said, which is important in expeditionary learning. Expeditionary learning also means displaying their work to a wider audience, Winter said. “The purpose of having a wider audience,” she said, “is to give the students more motivation to write.”
ACE kids started the project by surveying fellow students, and found many had no one to turn to during stressful times in their lives. “We figured that giving them something to work on or nurture would give them more meaning,” she said. The planter, or life boxes, will include a plant and seeds. They hope to put one in every classroom. Starting this spring, students will sell them for about $20. The garden, now called the Chandler Memorial Life Garden, will serve as both a therapeutic space and an outdoor classroom. It will be located near the high

“They just flat killed it in a realworld situation,” he said. “These kids have done more in their young lives and been through so much in their lives, and they’ve handled it with such incredible maturity and resiliency. I’m honored to just get to know them and be a part of it all.” Villanueva said Wolf is the right person to lead them forward. “He has a lot of the same qualities (as Chandler),” she said. “He tells us stories about the conversations they would have. The stories he shares are very motivating. We know that it’s not just some random person who took over. It was a good friend of Mr. Chandler’s.”

Students look forward to seeing their former teacher’s vision take root. “This project is something that can help us with the death of Mr. Chandler,” Yasmine Hamzeh said. “It’s amazing.” “We just want to make Chandler proud of us,” said Stephani Norden. Wolf, who watched the students make their Denver presentation, said they’ve already done so.

M AG I C CR EAT U R E S Dragons, unicorns, mermaids among legends at museum
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Just in time for spring break comes an exhibit about wondrous creatures of the imagination — from many cultures around the world, from land, sea and sky …. “Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, Mermaids,” which originated at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, will be at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science from March 20 to Sept. 7. Legends date back thousands of years. In East Asia, dragons have sweeping powers, including breathing clouds, moving the seasons and controlling the waters of rivers, lakes and seas. European legends of dragons show them as powerful, wicked, dangerous …. The exhibit has a 17-foot-long model of a dragon, with wingspan of 20 feet, as well as a statue of St. George, the Christian Crusader who slew a dragon, according to storytellers. A visitor will also find toys, shadow puppets, pictures and an activity to create your own digital dragon. And one sees fossils and pictures of actual creatures that might have inspired the ancient imagination. The exhibit addresses how science has evolved. Guests will also see a 10-foot tall Kraken, a huge sea creature described in Scandinavian tales, with multiple tentacles that could attack a ship — perhaps inspired by the giant squid. Closer to home, one will see a Colorado
A huge dragon figure greets visitors to the “Mythic Creatures” exhibit at Denver Museum of Natural History. jackalope, a Colorado howler and a fur-bearing trout. Young visitors will find many things they can touch and a green screen where one can take a picture of oneself with a dragon or unicorn, and there’s an opportunity to make one’s own mythic creature. “Mythic Creatures” was organized in collaboration with the Field Museum, Chicago;
Canadian Museum of Civilization, GatineauOttawa; Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; and Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta. This exhibit also includes a very rare egg from the Aepyornis, an extinct “elephant bird” from Madagascar that laid the largest eggs in the world. It is part of the DMNS collection.
Thrifty show has passion for fashion Emmy Award-winning fashion icon Tim Gunn and Denver-based designer Mondo Guerra hosted fashion show fundraiser Goodwill En Vogue at Denver Union Station on March 5. The event featured a fashion show put on by local high school students in Goodwill Denver’s career development programs and ultimately raised more than $118,000 for the nonprofit. Gunn co-hosted the fundraiser with 7NEWS meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo. Guerra, winner of “Project Runway All-Stars,” oversaw a team of judges who scored the student design competition, which was the first fashion show held at the recently restored historic Union Station. The student winner, Jackie Rodriguez, is a junior at CEC Middle College of Denver and is receiving help to prepare for her future through Goodwill’s programs at her school. Her winning design incorporated drapes found at a Goodwill store that were transformed into an elegant pantsuit, inspired by the style and society of the 1920s, which earned her a coveted fashion design internship with Guerra. More than 450 guests viewed a multitude of upcycled designs by students from Goodwill’s high school programs, each inspired by a different decade in history. In addition, area celebrities modeled in a show of upscale, chic trends from Goodwill’s Déjà Blue Boutique in Cherry Creek North. All proceeds from the event benefited Goodwill’s career development programs for at-risk students, struggling adults, and individuals with disabilities.

Union Station makes top 11
Thrillist.com’s travel team rode the rails — at least virtually — for its list: The 11 Most Beautiful Train Stations Across America. And no surprise to Denver dwellers, the rehabbed Union Station downtown was included in the lauded list. Thrillist looked for stations that are so “beautiful, so historic, so straight-up cool that you’re more than happy to get stuck, if only to wander around for a bit and pretend you’re Eliot Ness trying to take down Al Capone.” Here’s what the website said about our spiffed-up train station: “Union Station, like Uma Thurman, may have undergone a few nips and tucks recently, but that hasn’t compromised its Beaux Arts facade, which was built in 1914. Today, the station’s most striking features include its exposed Train Hall (made of 11 steel arches), a 112-room boutique hotel, a slew of restaurants, shops, and bars and over 600 works of art on display throughout. And if that’s not enough, there’s even a 22-gate underground bus concourse lit by skylights. Okay, that was probably enough.” To see the rest of the best, go to www.thrillist. com/travel/nation/grand-central-union-station-and-more-of-america-s-most-beautifultrain-stations.
Perry’s one-day 79-cent chop
In honor of the year it first opened as a butcher shop in 1979, and to thank Denver for such a warm Colorado welcome, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille is offering a 79-cent Pork Chop Friday lunch to the first 100 people in line when the restaurant opens at 11 a.m. March 13. Reservations for Perry’s Flashback Friday will be accepted beginning at 11:30 a.m., but since the celebration begins at 11 a.m., there is no guarantee the 79-cent pork chops will still be available.

Local students to play with state honor band Six perform in concert at University of Colorado By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s no cutting corners when it comes to music. “To make honor band, it requires a lot of individual work,” said Alyssa Zawack, SkyView Academy’s band teacher. “It says a lot about their dedication and diligence.” Three eighth-graders who attend SkyView Academy, a preschool through 12th grade public charter school in Highlands Ranch, were chosen to perform Feb. 28 as part of the University of Colorado 2015 Middle School Honor Band at Macky Auditorium in Boulder.

Everyone was very focused.” It was a “very lengthy” audition process, said Gjerapic, 13. Each student had 2½ months to send off their audition recording, he said. “But if you made the cut,” Gjerapic added, “you got to play.” The student musicians selected to play as the honor band received their music in early February to begin practicing on their own, then rehearsed together as a symphony on the Friday and Saturday prior to the concert for about four hours, the students said. For them to have the opportunity to play with the honor band, Zawack said, gave them the experience of what it would be like to play with a real symphony. “The experience empowered them, at a middle-school age, to be responsible for their music completely,” she said.

Before 2009, Douglas County was the go-to district in Colorado for families wanting quality education for their children, and for teachers dedicated to providing it. Since then, the situation has changed. Some claim there is trouble in paradise; meanwhile the district paints a picture of “better than ever.” What is the truth? Douglas County parents will meet at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 15, at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock, for a presentation and informal discussion of Douglas County schools and impacts. Bring questions, concerns and ideas. Go to www.douglascountyparents.com.

ThunderRidge boys, girls make final four GIRLS

Grizzlies depend on depth, defense By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com
BOYS
Team picking up major steam By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge’s boys basketball team apparently has regained its mojo. The Grizzlies didn’t have a field goal in final 3:14 of their March 7 Great 8 game against Continental League rival Chaparral at the Denver Coliseum. However, the Grizzlies did convert seven of 11 free throws attempts down the stretch and notched a 52-47 victory over the Wolverines to advance to the Final Four. ThunderRidge (23-2) will make its seventh Final Four appearance when the Grizzlies play Eaglecrest March 13 in an 8:30 p.m. game at the Coors Events Center. It was a month ago after a 59-36 defeat of Regis Jesuit that ThunderRidge was the No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll. The Grizzlies then lost two of their next three games. “We lost our mojo after we beat Regis,” explained ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz. “We were in a funk. We weren’t aggressive. We’ve got it back. “We are kind of playing like we were before. It’s hard to put your finger on it. If I could put my finger on exactly what needs to happen I’d put my finger on it all the time.” ThunderRidge, which success revolves around its defensive play, has its finger on good free throw shooting. “We didn’t make them all,” said Ortiz whose team went 14-for-19 at the charity stripe and beat Chaparral for the second
time in three games this season. Zach Pirog, ThunderRidge’s 6-foot-11 senior who is bound for Nebraska-Omaha, scored 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds to pace the Grizzlies. In the previous two games against Chaparral, he was held to a combined seven points. “It feels amazing to be in the Final Four,” said Pirog. “That’s what we wanted, but we’re not going to stop here. We wanted to get to CU. We want to get that state championship. “Our shots weren’t falling and last time we played them and today they were. We rebounded well, we played defense and took away (Jake) Holtzman and (Chris) Moody. That was our game plan.” Holtzman had 14 points and Moody 13 for the Titans, but both had to work for shots and went a combined 8-for-23 from the floor. Elias Tiedgen drew the defensive assignment on Holtzman. “Holtzman is a great player, but you can’t ever bow down,” said Tiedgen. “You have to fight, and it was a great team effort. We have worked so hard. We deserve this.” Tiedgen and Noah Szilagyi each added seven points to the Grizzlies offensive attack. ThunderRidge, which has won two state championships, and Eaglecrest have played twice in previous seasons with the Grizzlies winning both games. The last encounter was a 57-56 ThunderRidge win in the 2009 Great 8. “It feels great to be able to coach them next (this) week,” said Ortiz.
Road closure for Boulder trip As part of the US 36 Express Lanes Project, the eastbound and westbound lanes of the highway will be closed starting at 10 p.m. each night through March 15 from Church Ranch Boulevard to Wadsworth Parkway. One of the best return routes to Highlands Ranch would be CO 93, which runs through Golden and then C470 south.

Taylor Rusk, coach Paula Krueger and the rest of the ThunderRidge girls basketball team didn’t leave the Denver Coliseum disappointed. ThunderRidge rolled to a 57-36 victory over Ralston Valley March 6 in a Great 8 game and advanced to the Class 5A Final Four. The Grizzlies (24-2) will play Monarch (24-2) in an 8:30 p.m. semifinal game March 12 at the University of Colorado Events Center, also known as the Coors Event Center. After winning the Continental League championship and being unbeaten against Colorado teams, it would have been a disappointment if the Grizzlies had not been one of the four teams to play in Boulder. “Definitely yeah, it would have been disappointing,” said Rusk. “We worked so hard, and we definitely deserve it. We earned it. We’re not worried about who we play, just about us. I’ve never been to a Final Four, so it is exciting.” Kruger, in her second season as ThunderRidge coach, feels the Grizzlies played well all season and were worthy of a trip to Boulder. “I feel that they earned that with the season they have played, and I would have been disappointed in myself if I had not gotten them to where they deserved to be,” she said. ThunderRidge went on a 12-0 first half run and turned the game against Ralston Valley into a runaway. Rusk, a 5-foot-11 junior, led ThunderRidge with 19 points and eight rebounds. All of her points came in the second half. Jaz’myne Snipes sparked the Grizzlies in the first half by scoring 12 of her 14 points. The 5-11 junior had eight rebounds and was a key figure in ThunderRidge’s stellar press defense with four steals. “Definitely the defense makes the team go,” said Rusk. “Our 2-2-1 and Jaz’myne with those long arms definitely gets us going with our team tempo. We definitely like to push it.” Alyssia Martinez finished with 10 points for the Grizzlies. “The one thing is we do have depth,” Krueger said. “We have good depth. There’s not of variance from one to 12. I’m really comfortable with the kids we have.” ThunderRidge’s kids will need a good defensive effort against a Monarch team scored 70 points in a Great 8 win over Fairview. “I’ve coached for 22 or 23 years, I don’t even know right now, but honest to God I’ve never coached a better defensive team that is able to make adjustments and to buy into whatever it was that we were playing,” said Kruger. “They just do what it takes. They don’t care who gets the points, who gets the glory or who get the steals. They just want a W at the end. “We’re going to give it all we’ve got. Monarch is salty. They are good. Gail Hook is a heck of a coach.”
Valor Christian girls basketball team earns 4A semifinal berth Eagles use second-half push versus Holy Family By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media Valor Christian knew Holy Family could be a stumbling block in its path for a state title. So it wasn’t a surprise that the first half of its quarterfinal game was close before the Valor Christian’s girls basketball team advanced to the Class 4A state semifinals with a
53-37 win over host Holy Family. Kendall Bradbury, a 5-foot-10, senior who scored 29 points to lead Valor, was aware of Holy Family’s potential. She was more than pleased with the way in which her team came through. “We just wanted to concentrate on being on the ball,” Bradbury said. “Holy Family is tough, and we were not going to overlook them. We had to take care of guarding them well, and that’s what we were able to do. I think we were able to put a lot of trust in our offense. We just went out and did our best and it certainly worked out there for me.”
With the March 6 win, Valor, coached by Jessika Caldwell, improved to 24-3, while Holy Family finished the season 21-5. The semis will be played March 12 at the Coors Events Center in Boulder with the championship game, March 14. Valor will play Pueblo West (22-4) in its semifinal while Longmont (20-6) will play Sand Creek (22-3). Played before a loud, full house in the Holy Family gym, the game was close for the first half. Holy Family trailed Valor, 27-21, at the intermission. Until the last 1-minute, 41 seconds of the second quarter,
hardly more than three points separated the two teams. But Valor used the closing minutes of the half to score four points and stretch its lead to six. During the first minute and a half to begin the third quarter, Valor outscored Holy Family 7-3 to lead 34-24. Tigers would not be able to overcome the margin the rest of the way. With 2:31 left in the game, the Eagles had established a 49-34 advantage. Madison McCoy, a 5-8, junior, was the only other Valor player to score in double-figures with 10. “I think we were able to play a
great game against them,” McCoy said. “We were able to settle our nerves and get to our game plan. It was just loud out there with this crowd tonight. They were all into the game, both sides. Caldwell was certainly pleased with the way her team answered the call. “Our girls were able to attack the basket,” Caldwell said. “We were able to get the ball to the high post and then get inside. Our defense was our key and we were able to keep them from scoring. We just knew we had to defend well against them and they played us hard.”

Friends share honor as swimmers of year Ochitwa and Moynihan each earned two state titles in their senior seasons By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Annie Ochitwa and Ella Moynihan are good friends and are the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmers of the Year. Ochitwa, a senior from ThunderRidge, won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events for the second consecutive season at the Class 5A State Swimming Championships. Moynihan, a senior at Arapahoe, was also a double state champion as she captured the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events. She won the 200 free in 2014. “Ella and I have been friends since we were 12 or 13, and there’s no one I would rather share this honor with,” said Ochitwa. “I’m so proud of her and everything she accomplished this year. “That’s the coolest thing about Colorado swimming, everyone is friends and knows and loves each other. It’s a real cool thing to see the people racing in the final heat laughing, talking and hugging after the race.”
Ochitwa, the 2014 CCM South Metro Swimmer of the Year who will swim for Arizona next season, said defending her state titles was special. “Proving to myself that it wasn’t a onetime situation was an SOUTH METRO amazing feeling,” she ATHLETES said. “Especially this OF THE YEAR year, the competition was even more intense than last year so coming out on top was even better.” Moynihan will be swimming at Notre Dame next season and agrees with her friend. “It was pretty tricky because some of the best swimmers in the state were up north, so we didn’t see them until state,” Moynihan explained. “We’re not racing our biggest competition all season.” Moynihan switched one of events her senior year. In addition to the 200 free, she competed in 500 free instead of the 100 free. “I knew it would be a pretty big challenge to get both of them,” she said. “I don’t think it could have gone any better at the state meet. Annie and I are really good friends.”

Falcons girls title quest ends Despite loss, Highlands Ranch coach says ‘We should be an even better team next year’ By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Tears reflected the feelings of disappointment and sadness many Highlands Ranch players felt after they lost the state Class 5A girls basketball game to Cherry Creek. “It was a difficult loss tonight because the girls have played so hard all season,” Falcons Coach Caryn Jarocki said after the game. “This is our young team and we have come a long way. There were a lot of tears tonight, and that is how I know they care so much about tonight.” The Falcons finished the regular season 9-1 in league to advance to the state 5A girls playoffs. They drew a bye in the first round, and then beat George Washington 7639 and Castle View 64-53 to advance to the quarterfinals for the second time in three seasons. Highlands Ranch finished its season 21-5. The Falcons-Bruins March 6 playoff game was a pitch battle almost from the opening tipoff. Cherry Creek’s on-target shooting gave the Bruins an 11-8 first quarter

four 3-pointers in the contest and led the Grizzlies with 14 points. Clay Verk, Troy Brady, and Zach Pirog each scored 10 points in the win. Overland 64, Mountain Vista 36 - The Golden Eagles offense struggled from the start against arguably the state’s most talented basketball team in Great Eight action on March 7. Brady Subart led the offense with 16 points against the Blazer defenders. Reggie Gibson scored 14 points to lead Overland with Austin Conway chipping in 12 and Ryan Swan scoring 10. Conway is a Wyoming-bound guard while Swan is heading to play for Air Force. The Golden Eagles season
lead and the margin remained unchanged as both teams scored 12 second-period points. In the third period, the score was tied at 25-25 and again at 27-27 but the Bruins hit a three-pointer with four seconds left to give them a 36-29 and they went to win the game, 47-45. Despit having a young team, coach Jarocki felt from the start of practice her team could do well. “I felt with the great senior leadership from Logan Opheim we could go as far as she was able to take us,” she said. “She did a marvelous job getting these kids ready for every game and for the atmosphere of this playoff game.” The locker room was emotional after the game, and she took time to hug and thank each of the players for their efforts this season, she said. “Hugging them is natural because these girls are like family to me,” Jarocki said. The coach said she expects the players to be back next season plus the younger players in the program means there will be a lot of competition for the spots on the varsity roster. “We should be an even better team next year,” she said. “We’ll have the time for a summer of work, plus I believe tonight will stick in the brains of our returning players. It will make them tougher and make them want to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
comes to a close with a record of 206, the fourth 20-win season in the past five years for Vista. Mountain Vista 60, Montebello 57 - In Sweet Sixteen action on March 4, Isaac Phillips stepped to the free-throw line with 7.6 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and knocked down both attempts to secure his Golden Eagles trip to the Denver Coliseum and the Great Eight for the fourth straight season. Phillips finished the night with four points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and four steals. Ray Beresford led the Gold Eagle offense with a game-high 27 points with Brady Subart chipping in 11 points and five assists.

Dakota Spencer, Brianna Johnson, and Paige Kula each found the net for Valor as Jastin Redman notched a goal and an assist in the contest. Grandview 1, Mountain Vista 0 (OT) - An extra-time game-winner spoiled the Golden Eagles opener on March 7. Vista put 10 shots on the Wolves goal but was unable to find the net with any of them. Emma Townsend recorded four saves in the net for Mountain Vista

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL PREVIEW
Snow can pose mounds of trouble
South metro teams forced to work around the weather in order to get ready for season
With snow from a recent storm still on the ground, Highlands Ranch High School baseball players warm up before the March 9 practice. It was the first workout outside for the Falcons, two days ahead of their season opener at Rangeview. The Falcons spent part of two practices shoveling snow off the field. The team took fly balls in the outfield and a while later the infielders set up a makeshift infield in a portion of the outfield and threw the ball around. Photo by Jim Benton

March is typically the snowiest month in the Denver area. It’s also the start of the high school baseball season. Late-February snowstorms that lingered into March had south metro-area baseball teams scrambling to find indoor facilities in which to practice. Baseball is the spring sport that Mother Nature can hamper the most because it takes time to dry grass and dirt infields.
