South Suburban league draws men for competition and camaraderie

By Tom Skelley Special to Colorado Community Media

A player’s lacrosse gear airs out before a game at the Family Sports Center Sports Dome in Centennial on March 8. The league operates year-round, administered by South Suburban Parks and Recreation.

I

t’s Tuesday night at Family Sports Center on Arapahoe Road. An intermittent droning throbs from planes descending into Centennial Airport. Men leave their cars, SUVs and pickup trucks and walk through the doors of the Sports Dome, some on their own, some in groups of two or three. By day, their occupations range from teachers to executives to laborers.

But tonight, they are warriors.

And they come from as far away as Colorado Springs to play in South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s weekly Adult Recreational Lacrosse League, now in its fourth season at the Sports Dome and open to anyone 18 or older.

BY THE NUMBERS Teams in the South Suburban Recreational League: 6 Players in the South Suburban Recreational League: about 120 College teams in the U.S.: Between the Division I and Division III levels, the NCAA sanctions 342 men’s and 249 women’s teams.

Professional teams in the U.S.: Major League Lacrosse fielded six teams in 2001. There are now eight teams, including the local franchise, the Denver Outlaws.

The league will add a ninth team, the Atlanta Blaze, in April 2016.

School puts focus Know when to dance, when to push on good behavior

Centennial Academy kids strive for acknowledgment

By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com Three simple rules guide the behavior of students at Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education: be respectful, be responsible, be ready.

The school uses a system called Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports, which was developed in the 1980s.

Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman Diane Leiker said the other elementary schools in the district also use the program.

“The general idea around it is to be really specific about what you expect students to do, and be really explicit about teaching them what that means,” said Principal Mary Ellen Dillman.

Jim Yarbrove, dean of students and counselor at the school in Littleton, said teaching children how to treat others can be done much in the same way they are taught academic subjects.

“We’re really approaching it like math,” he said.

“We’re teaching them the right way to do it, we’re acknowledging it when they get that answer correct, and we’re giving

them feedback when they don’t get it correct.”

The school logs behavioral incidents daily, noting what happened as well as motivating factors, and reviews the data quarterly. Yarbrove said behavior reports have dropped 35 percent since the program was implemented.

Slips of paper called “Pacer Performers” — named for the school mascot — that can be exchanged for items such as pencils or school shirts are part of the positive feedback that faculty and staff reward students with.

“This works more than, you know, pointing a finger at kids,” he said, waving one of the green slips.

Yarbrove and Dillman said the acknowledgment students respond to most strongly is the school’s “Wall of Fame.”

“The Wall of Fame is, the teachers select one student per month in the class that is exceptional,” Yarbrove said.

“Those kids love it,” he said. “I’m always getting `Mr. Yarbrove, what do I need to do to get on the Wall of Fame?’ I love that. It’s not about buying something with a Pacer, it’s about getting that recognition.”

“We know that children respond better to positive reinforcement.”

Editor’s note: This is the second of an occasional series about Judy Racine, who will retire at the end of this school year after 40 years of teaching. Check out the column online, www.coloradocommunitymedia. com, for a video of the classroom work.

Six stations are carefully laid out on the low tables in the classroom: Hammers, nails and a board.

The 25 second- and third-graders circled on the rug around their teacher, Judy Racine, punch their arms excitedly into the air to answer the question she poses: “Who can tell me what our learning target is today?”

Jasmine: “I can practice using different tools safely.”

“So what would that look like if you’re successful?” Judy asks.

Dawson: “Not cutting off your hand with a saw.”

Jasmine: “Not throwing tools around.”

The end product — the meaningful outcome of about six weeks of study — is a wooden pinball machine built by students in groups of three, which will be demonstrated to family and friends in a formal presentation and then given to several charity organizations.

Judy Racine, just months away from her last day of teaching after 40 years in the classroom, always thinks about the end result to her lessons.

“I really have to make sure everything I do is meaningful and has purpose with the kids . . . so they see the purpose behind what they’re doing,” she says. “Learning has to be meaningful, purposeful and authentic.”

In the case of simple machines, that means students are “understanding how force in motion is

either a push or pull. . . . They may not see it at that moment. But we bring in the language all the time, keep the end product always in mind.”

She knows she’s done a good job when curiosity spurs students to ask questions — probing questions.

Or when parents tell her how their children couldn’t stop talking at the dinner table about what they’d done in class that day.

“They’re transferring what they’re doing in the classroom to a bigger world,” Judy says.

Judy, who turns 65 on April 1, has taught for the past 20 years at the Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning in South Denver. Supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and

Sneak peek into cutting-edge lab A small group of people brave the snow and cold on March 18 to participate on a walking tour of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

People brave snow for walking tour at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory

By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Eight people braved the snow and cold on March 18 to get a glimpse of what goes on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Half of the attendees were from out of state, and the weather wasn’t going to deter them from the campus walking tour.

Dating couple Lauren Laskey and Christian Bain are students from the Boston area. Laskey is pursuing a master’s in environmental science at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. But it was Bain’s idea to do the tour.

“I was right on board,” Laskey said. “This is right up my alley.”

Bain is studying business at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. And he represents the business side of a team that will be competing in the yearly U.S. Department of Energy Collegiate Wind Competition, which takes place in New Orleans in May. Each of the 12 teams, Bain said, will be from colleges across the U.S. and has to design and build an off-grid wind system.

Which is why he wanted to tour NREL. The tour started off in NREL’s education center.

Tour guide Michael Bessler educated people on NREL’s mission. He provided a plethora of information covering everything from turbine blades — which are basically the “airplane wings” one might have seen being hauled down the highway lately — to photovoltaics, airfoils, biofuels and enzymes.

“That’s the big picture, in a nutshell,” he said.

And when nobody raised his or her hand with addi-

tional questions, the small group headed outside to learn about NREL’s highly efficient buildings — “the meat of the tour.”

Rick Stuchell of Centennial found the building designs the most interesting. He works in computer software and came on the tour because his son, Jeffrey, who lives in Morrison, invited him.

Jeffery Stuchell works on Toyota Priuses as a hobby and recently read an NREL paper on hybrid battery technology, which prompted him to sign up for the tour — and to do more reading on solar technology.

“Remember, a lot of this is not rocket science,” Bessler said. “A lot of it you can use in your own homes.”

Kendall Septon works in the communications department at NREL and wanted to bring her parents, Jan and Rob Wright, on the tour as part of their visit from Florida.

“We wanted to see where our daughter landed to start her career,” Jan Wright said.

But not only that, Rob Wright works for Sarasota County as a neighborhood stewardship

team coordinator. Part of his job includes using the research that comes out of NREL and presenting it to county commissioners to help them make policy decisions on renewable energy.

“It’s really enjoyable to see the research going on here,” Rob Wright said.

Bessler, of Green Mountain, has been leading the public tours for about a 1 1/2 years, but has been a “science groupie” for a long time.

The tour groups are always comprised of a diverse group of people, he said, and he enjoys hearing about what interests everyone.

Sometimes, someone will ask a question that stumps even him a little.

“The people ask very good questions,” Bessler said. “I learn something new on every tour.”

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory does public walking tours of the campus every third Friday of the month. The tours are free, but attendees must register in advance. Tours have a maximum capacity of 15 people and fill up quickly. Learn more at www.nrel.gov or call 303-384-6565.

Q&A with Lone Tree gymnast Jacqueline Kranitz Girl is first winner of national Miss Arnold Teen Fitness competition

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jacqueline “Jax” Kranitz, 15, of Lone Tree became the winner of the first Miss Arnold Teen Fitness competition in Columbus, Ohio, earlier this month. Contestants from around the country submitted a video and a detailed application in order to be chosen to compete. Scores were based on a twominute fitness routine, fitness wear and a gown competition.

The judging panel featured Olympic champion speed skater Apollo Ono, three former Mr. Olympia fitness champions, two talent scouts and the editor of Pageantry magazine. Kranitz is also a longtime gymnast and has already committed to a full gymnastics scholarship to the University of Iowa in 2018.

The Miss Arnold Teen Fitness Pageant is part of the yearly Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, and is designed to promote fit and healthy lifestyles in youths.

The winner is expected to become an advocate for raising awareness of health and fitness in schools and communities nationwide. Kranitz took some time recently to answer questions from Colorado How did it feel to be the first winner of the Miss Arnold Teen Competition?

It was very special being the first one to ever win. But it feels even more special to be the first one to have that experience. Not just winning, but doing the whole thing in general. It was a really fun thing to be a part of and taught me a lot of things. I’m really glad I did it.

What are your plans for the future?

As of now, I am stilling planning to compete for Iowa as a D-1 gymnast. I’ll have to see about fitness competitions.

I really enjoyed this last one. It depends on where it will take me. In gymnastics I train about 28 hours per week, so it would be a little difficult to fit in another competition but plans always change.

Hoops for Hope raises money for special needs camps Pro athletes help bring cheer and drum up support for Adam’s Camp

By Amy Thomson Special to CCM Families and friends gathered for a basketball game, cheer clinic and a great cause on March 20 for the Hoops for Hope fundraiser for Adam’s Camp, a nonoprofit that offers weeklong, intensive-therapy summer camps for children and young adults with disabilities.

Organizers say the event raised more than $50,000.

“It’s a great experience for (everyone) to see, because they see individuals with developmental disabilities out there playing basketball,” said Sarah Hartley, director of communications and development for Adam’s Camp. “It starts conversations about how we can be different but the same. I think those moments are really spectacular.”

Hosted by Adam’s Camp and Partners in Pediatrics, the event was held at the Gold Crown Field House in Lakewood. Gold Crown donated the facility for the event, which included some notable stars like former Denver Bronco Tom Nalen and former NBA player Bill Hanzlik.

“The game itself is a blast,” Hartley said. “It’s so cool to see professional athletes out on the court with our campers.”

Devin McEntee, an autistic eighth-grader of Greenwood Village who has attended Adam’s Camps for the past 10 years, enjoyed the experience. He started playing basketball this season and was a highscorer during the game.

“I want to play for the New York Knicks,” he said.

Carmelo Anthony, a forward for the Knicks, is an inspiration for him.

Peak Athletics in Highlands Ranch, which runs a cheer and dance program for those with special needs, ran the cheer clinic and halftime cheer show.

Highlands Ranch resident Jenna Zecchino, 21, has been cheering with Peak Athletics for more than 15 years. Her mother, Julie Zecchino, is a founder and owner of the organization. Jenna’s favorite part of cheer is the facial choreography, which cues the team to have the same expression, to smile or look surprised, for example, throughout the routines.

The basketball game ended in a tie, 95-95, with no overtime — making all participants, from players to cheerleaders, winners.

Autistic teen Devin McEntee of Greenwood Village shoots a basket during the March 20 Hoops for Hope fundraising event in Lakewood. Photos by Amy Thomson Adam’s Camp is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Hoops for Hope is one of the organization’s biggest annual fundraisers. The camp covers half of the cost to attend camp, a fee of between $1,700 to $5,100.

“We do fundraising all year to cover that other half,” Hartley said. “This helps to get those kids and their families up to camp.”

Adam’s Camp has helped more than 12,000 people.

Started in Colorado in 1986, it has opened three new locations in Alaska, New Hampshire and Nantucket, Massachusetts. Three more locations are in the works, including Northern Ireland.

The entire family is invited to the camps so that a network of support can be created.

“Adam’s Camp is very much about family,” Hartley said. “We don’t just serve the kids with disabilities, we serve the whole family.”

Devin McEntee, with parents Tim and Chris from Greenwood Village, enjoys the Adam’s Camp basketball program.

Lacrosse Continued from Page 1

“It’s a good time. It’s a pretty tight-knit group,” said John Regan, a member of the military in his 30s. “As long as you can find a league, you can jump in and immediately have a connection there.”

The interior of the 45,000-square-foot dome at 6959 South Peoria St., Centennial, is reminiscent of an airplane hangar, with its ceiling arched high above the AstroTurf and airport noise filtering through the walls. Despite the brown landscape of winter outside, the field inside is green and the air is warm, with a faint but distinct aroma of rubber. What isn’t clear is whether the smell is coming off the synthetic turf or the solid rubber balls whizzing through the air as players snap bullet passes to each other and fire shots at nets on either side of the field.

As the game starts, the buzzing of planes is muted by the pounding of running feet and clacking of carbon fiber sticks as players charge across the field, whacking at opponents to dislodge the ball.

The aggressive action highlights the minimal protective gear the players wear — a helmet, gloves, elbow pads and as a few players mentioned, a cup. It also makes it difficult to believe these guys don’t actually want to kill each other.

“The players here have developed a community, everybody gets along,” said Brad Stafford, supervisor of Sports Programming at the Sports Dome. “We don’t really have any problems among the teams.”

Regan, who traded a baseball mitt for a lacrosse stick in high school and never looked back, agreed.

“Everyone’s got to go to work in the morning,” Regan said. “No one’s trying to break arms out here.”

Sure enough, players help each other up as quickly as they knock each other down throughout the game. They all shake hands when it’s over, and as soon as jerseys come off the smiles they wear make it impossible to separate opponents from teammates.

Outside the dome, it wouldn’t be easy to distinguish a lacrosse enthusiast from any other recreational athlete. But the players will tell you they’re a unique group.

“I guess you could say the culture” is different, Stafford said.

“I’ve heard that everywhere,” said Colorado Springs resident Nicola Bevacqua, who began playing youth lacrosse on the East Coast. “It’s a different breed.

I love the lacrosse community. I don’t think there are better athletes, blue-collar people who want to have some fun, get together. Yeah, they can party.”

Jared Lustig, the Sports Dome’s athletic coordinator, said the common trait among lacrosse players he manages is their relaxed attitude toward an intense sport.

Goalie Koahl Thornton, right, shakes hands with opponents after a game at the Family Sports Center Sports Dome in Centennial on March 8. Photos by Tom Skelley “Each sport has their own culture, for sure,” Lustig said. “I’d say (lacrosse players) are more laid back. They’re out there to have fun and get a good workout in.”

Though lacrosse lacks the popularity of the “big five” sports — football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer — Stafford expects that to change.

“I think lacrosse is… definitely one of the most quickly growing sports, among youth and adults as well,” Stafford said.

Statistics back Stafford up. In a 2013 study, U.S. Lacrosse, the sport’s Baltimore-based governing body, found that participation across age groups almost tripled between 2001 (253,931 players) and 2013 (749,859 players.) High school athletes totaled 290,046, and children age 15 and younger comprised the largest segment of the total at 403,770, suggesting a promising future for lacrosse in the United States.

Two people on the field every Tuesday who would like to see more players get into the action are referees Steve Villarreal and Daniel Dureski. Villarreal has been officiating lacrosse games for 35 years while Dureski is in his first season.

“It’s a great league to join because all skill levels are welcomed,” Dureski said.

“You get out in the middle of the week,” Villarreal said, “and you get to be with your friends and have a little fun.”

He smiled.

And he said, “It beats watching television on a Tuesday night.”

‘Flying Saucer Bank’ is subject of talks

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The Englewood Historic Preservation Society will meet on March 28 to hear preservation consultant Diane Wray Tomasso speak about “The Flying Saucer Bank and the Communist in the Post Office.” There will be two presentations: 2:30 p.m. at the Englewood Library, inside the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway, and 6:30 p.m. at The Brew on Broadway, 3445 S. Broadway, in a renovated 1920s grocery store a block north of the “Flying Saucer Bank.”

In 1965, Colorado architect Charles Deaton, designer of the Sculpture House on Genesee Mountain, (aka the Sleeper House because of its appearance in

Historic preservation consultant Diane Wray Tomasso will speak about this South Broadway architectural attraction March 28.

With an address of 3501 S. Broadway, it is now owned by Community Banks of Colorado and is highly visible to the stream

of motorists who drive by it every day — gleaming white, perhaps almost ready to fly away and described as the “Flying Saucer Bank” by many.

It was completed in 1967, a dome-like, rounded, organiclooking structure that is closely related to the Sculpture House

IF YOU GO Diane Wray Tomasso will speak about “The Flying Saucer Bank and the Communist in the Post Office” on March 28 — first at 2:30 p.m. at Englewood Library, 1000 Englewood Parkway, and then at 6:30 p.m. at BoB, The Brew on Broadway, 3445 S. Broadway. Admission is free and all are welcome. 720-254-1897, historicenglewood.org for more information.

Deaton had designed for his family. A curving glass wall faces the parking lot and it retains its original interior details.

Diane Tomasso, who got the old Englewood Post Office on

Broadway listed as a designated historic site, has recently filed a request with the State of Colorado’s Landmark Commission to also designate the “Flying Saucer Bank” as a historic site.

It fits several requirements: age, architectural distinction and relation to a significant architect.

Tomasso said it will be several months before the state commission rules on it. When that happens, a request can go for National Designation.

Englewood does not have an ordinance that allows for local designation at this point, although we have heard of some interest among residents of Arapahoe Acres, which is a National Historic Neighborhood.

(Local designation can offer more protection from inappropriate design changes to a structure.)

Assemblies

“

I have been in the belly of the beast.

And I don’t like what I see.”

Continued from Page 1

Rep. Robert Bowen, D-Centennial. Bowen, who also ran for the seat in 2014, was nominated from the floor at the Arapahoe County Democratic Assembly on March 12 after no Democratic candidates filed to run.

Bowen accepted and will appear on the ballot but said Democrats running for the seat in the heavily Republican district face a “kamikaze mission.” The district includes west Centennial, most of Littleton, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley.

Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, is the current District 38 representative but is running instead for a different post, county commissioner.

At the assembly at Denver First Church of the Nazarene, Beckman touted her experience, both as a county commissioner and later as a state employee, overseeing construction and maintenance projects.

“I have been in the belly of the beast,” the Littleton resident said. “And I don’t like what I see.”

Williams, on the other hand, is running on a lack of political experience, saying he would be a “citizen legislator.”

“It does not take a decade in politics to understand (voters’) concerns,” the Centennial resident said.

Susan Beckman, Former Arapahoe County Commissioner

Centennial City Councilmember Mark Gotto nominated Williams at the assembly, calling him a policy wonk and praising his work ethic.

Former state Rep. Joe Stengel nominated Beckman, focusing on her experience.

“The job of a state representative is not an on-the-jobtraining experience,” he said.

Meanwhile, Conti made strides in her quest for the District 1 commissioner post. She emerged as the sole Republican candidate after the assembly, while the county Democrats did not nominate an opponent.

The District 1 commissioner seat is open because Nancy Doty has opted not to run again and instead is seeking the state Senate District 26 seat, which is currently held by term-limited Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

Littleton resident Doty got the nod at the Republican assembly, and in the general election in November, she will face state Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, who got his party’s support at assembly.

VOICES

LOCAL

Don’t let madness lead to sadness Who are you voting for?

That is the question that we are all being asked.

The other question is: “What are you voting for?”

Now here is my question for you: “How have you been responding?”

As you all know, this is not a politically motivated column; its intent is to share a positive and encouraging message of some kind each week. And consistent with my weekly theme, I will attempt to shed a positive and encouraging point of view in contrast to the “Yikes” response that most people have been giving when responding to the question about who and what they are voting for.

In my line of work I travel quite a bit domestically and also engage with many international associates and clients. It is one thing to engage in a conversation with folks right here in the United States about the candidates and potential outcomes, but it is even more interesting to have a discussion with people outside of the United States and their view and line of questioning when it comes to the perceived lunacy of what is taking place with our presidential election.

The fact is, we will never all agree on the same party, nor will we ever endorse the same candidate, and most likely we will be unable to come to an agreement on the issues that are being debated and challenged by both sides. But here is where we can get our head around the chaos and start thinking

about the reality of the situation in a positive and encouraging way.

You see, it’s not just the candidates and the campaigns that are misaligned, it is the system that is broken. And that is the good news.

Good news? Yes, good news.

It is good news Michael Norton because the United WINNING States will still be the greatest nation on WORDS earth. The president is really just the voice and face of our nation, and whoever is in office will surround himself or herself with smart advisers who should and will help guide the country, continue to defend our shores and borders, and help us maintain our prominence in the world while adhering to our benevolent nature in support of our allies and all people around the globe.

Some of you will point to the candidate’s position on taxation, others will focus on immigration, our economy, education, health care, our military and hundreds of other issues. And you are all welcome to your opinion and position. And while we stay focused on these issues and the advisers and Cabinet members actually develop the plans and execute the strategy, the president of the United States will meet world leaders, give

well-written speeches, and be seen as the voice and face of our nation.

Do some have a better presence than others? Are a few of the candidates a little more “presidential?” Sure, the answer is yes to both of those questions. So for me, my positive outlook and encouragement to go about my day-to-day life is focused on what the people behind the scenes will be doing, not so much on the man or woman voted in as the new POTUS. Technically, of course, he or she will be the commander-in-chief, and will work tireless hours, but in our day and age nothing is ever solely decided by the president. Television and movies help us buy into the concept that the president does actually make those big decisions in dramatic fashion, but the reality is that every decision made is a decision by committee, not one person.

Maybe this will strike a nerve with you, maybe you agree with me in this “Yikes” of an election year, and maybe you will completely disagree with me. But it is the system that is broken, not the people. It’s the system that is broken, not you and not me. And I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we realize that we will still be the greatest nation on earth regardless of who wins, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Business Manager AUDREY BROOKS

Houston, we have an opportunity — Mars

Last week, astronaut Scott Kelly returned from an almost one-year mission to test the effects of space travel on the human body. Kelly’s experiment directly contributes to our understanding of the challenges NASA must overcome to send astronauts to deep-space destinations like Mars.

And one of our best opportunities to go there is right around the corner.

Seventeen years from now, Earth and Mars will be aligned for what could be the most significant Smith and inspirational journey in human history. A mission such as this — the first human space flight to another planet in our solar system — requires careful planning and persistence of purpose.

So what is needed to get there from where we are Perlmutter today?

This is not merely a science fiction movie starring Matt Damon.

This is a goal that is within the reach of NASA’s technological capability. NASA and the American industry are already building the most critical elements for journeys to deep space — the Orion crew vehicle and Space Launch System rocket.

With those systems ready for missions within the next five years, NASA can begin taking critical steps to prepare for that rare planetary alignment in 2033.

If we launch humans from the Earth to the Red Planet in 2033, it would only take a year-and-a-half round trip instead of the normal journey of two or three years. A shorter mission like this greatly improves the likelihood of success, as our

Taken back in time by a voice from the past Singles were always a dollar.

I could afford a dollar.

My allowance was 50 cents a week.

Albums were more like $4. I rarely bought albums. I just couldn’t afford Craig Marshall Smith them.

I would rather QUIET not you about DESPERATION the fitell rst single I ever bought. It was a hit, but it was a one-hit wonder, and now I think it’s somewhat humiliating.

I think you would immediately move on to another columnist.

It could have been Buddy Holly and the Crickets, but it wasn’t.

It could have been the Everly Brothers, but it wasn’t.

It wasn’t “Old Rivers” by Walter Brennan.

It wasn’t that bad.

But my first album was and is a gem.

At the time a performer or a group generally didn’t record an album until they had two hits.

One would go on side one, and the other one would go on side two.

Typically the rest of the songs were junk.

Not always.

A Buddy Holly and the Crickets album could have four or five hits on it.

The same goes for the Everly Brothers.

If a performer or a group had a few years of success, out would come a greatest hits album.

Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition, the school incorporates principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum. It’s built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips and culminate in projects that pull all the learning together.

Those expeditions into the real world, and the project that is shared with the community — allowing them to be “experts” in that particular area — are key ingredients in a recipe for successful learning, Judy says.

“Learning has to be active as well as challenging,” she says. “Students have to be pushed out of their comfort zone. And when they know that they’re learning is public — that they have an audience . . . ,” the motivation to learn steps up a notch.

Jos can’t wait for exhibition night to show off the pinball machine her group will have built.

“We learn how to build simple machines,” she says, as she searches for an explanation of the word axle in a book, then writes her own definition in her dictionary.

“The world,” her partner Lucy notes, “is made up of simple machines.”

“We are,” Jos adds matter-of-factly, “kind of simple machines.”

astronauts would not need to spend as much time exposed to solar flares, cosmic radiation or the effects of zero gravity on the human body. A shorter duration mission also means less possibility of a mechanical or life-support problem.

For the past 15 years, astronauts have been preparing for deep space exploration onboard the International Space Station. Larger in size than a football field, the Space Station is considered by many to be the greatest engineering achievement in the history of the world.

And it has served as the laboratory in which Kelly and other astronauts have spent long stretches in space, providing valuable information for longer human missions.

The first album I ever owned was “Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits.”

Horton had a monster in 1959.

It was Billboard’s number one song that year.

“The Battle of New Orleans.”

It’s inconceivable that it would be a Top 40 hit these days, but in 1959 it was all over the place.

Then came “Sink the Bismarck” and “North to Alaska.”

Those three songs were why I bought the album.

I never listen to them now. But there are two songs on the album that I still listen to, on an iTunes playlist.

Horton was only 35 when he died in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver.

Not long before his death, Horton, who was a rockabilly and country music star, called Johnny Cash to chat, but Cash refused the call.

It was something that Cash regretted for the rest of his life.

Cash dedicated one of the songs I am going to tell you about to Horton on his “Personal File” album.

Horton’s hits were almost novelty records, and don’t really stand up today.

“North to Alaska” was used in a film with the same name. It starred John Wayne.

It also featured a teen idol named

A bottle of wine.

Flowers.

Gift cards for coffee, to restaurants, to the movies.

Dinners to bring home.

Letters of gratitude.

A teacher who worked with Judy but is now at another school suggested the idea as a way for the community to celebrate Judy all year long. The gifts arrive just about every week.

“In August, we sent out emails to all families and staff and made an online signup . . . so people could choose how to thank Judy in their own style,” parent Jennifer Eure said.

Eure’s son, Gavin, is in Judy’s class now.

Her older son also had her as a teacher.

She is grateful, Eure says, for that good fortune.

“Judy has inspired both of my children to enjoy reading, to ask questions and think more deeply,” she says. “She creates a structured and joyful classroom environment where all of her students feel safe to be themselves, to push themselves and take risks in their learning.”

Amy Weisbrot, a learning specialist who has worked with Judy for five years, believes her most important quality as a teacher is her ability to let kids be kids.

“She is so passionate about the importance of play in the classroom and letting kids learn through their own self discovery,” Weisbrot said. “She helped me realize how important it is to let kids have time to create, to be creative and really dream big . . . and then to believe in their big dreams.”

The education world today sometimes forgets that big dream, Judy says — the recognition that learning shouldn’t be dissected into isolated pieces of standards that should be taught here and objectives commercial products and ventures. The technology spinoffs from America’s space program have significantly added to our economy and improved our way of life — from the microchips in our computers, to lightweight metal alloys used in our cars, touchpad screens on our iPads and GPS devices.

Congress — on a bipartisan basis — has shown its support for NASA’s deep space exploration endeavors. Year after year, Congress has provided the necessary funding for Orion and the Space Launch System. We believe it is a priority for America to remain a pioneering nation on the frontier of space. We have committed to maintaining American leadership in space now and in the future, across presidential administrations and Congresses.

A Mars journey requires a long-term plan from NASA. Just as the Apollo missions in the 1960s required Mercury and Gemini precursor missions, we need a mission statement from NASA laying out when we are going to Mars, what technolFabian, who couldn’t sing and he couldn’t act, but he was cute.

That album sure was lonely.

My allowance increased and I was able to begin to build a collection.

The collection grew and was alphabetized, until my basement flooded in 2003, and most of it was damaged.

It’s hard for me to imagine anyone being sentimental about the hip-hop rubbish that’s prevalent now — in another 40 years.

The two songs that I listen to with fondness are “Whispering Pines” and “When It’s Springtime in Alaska.”

Horton’s clear, rich voice stands out in both of them.

They both tell stories, but not as mundanely as “Battle of New Orleans.”

There’s a new station in town that beats KBCO. It’s Open Air at 102.3.

Most of the time they play eclectic new music. The playlists are wonderful. It’s a leg of Colorado Public Radio, so there are no commercials.

Now and then they play something that is totally unexpected. A song from the past, that wasn’t a big hit, but was nevertheless great.

Like “Whispering Pines,” which I heard one night. And went back to junior high with a smile.

It’s like when you have a symphony and you’re putting all these pieces together and you’re trying to create these magical moments. It’s crazy hard and complex and always challenging.”

Judy Racine

that should be met there.

Those are important and necessary components to guiding the teaching experience. But in the intense push for performance and evaluative metrics, she says, the big picture, the “wholeness” of a child is often overshadowed.

Take, for instance, reading. The guiding goal, Judy says, should simply be: “Children should become strong learners who love to read and adore books for a lifetime.”

Good teaching is instinctive, too.

“You have to know when to turn off the lights and put everything away and have a dance party,” Judy says — “or know when to push it.”

Ah, the dance parties.

During snack time after recess, it’s not uncommon to walk into Judy’s room and find kids taking turns at deejay and Judy in the middle of the pack, dancing to Bob Marley, String Cheese Incident or the Beatles, which many of her students have come to love.

“It’s my favorite time to walk into Judy’s room,” Weisbrot says, “so I can join in on the boogie.”

••• Groups of students huddle around the various tables, focused on the task before them. Every 10 minutes they switch to a

new station. They hammer nails and turn screws and saw notches into boards. They measure and ask questions and exclaim in surprise. A current of purpose and curiosity pulses through the room.

“This is really cool,” says Ainsley, a blue cap on her head, as she tries out the pinball machine, a larger version of what she is working on. “I like that we’re going to be building our own. Playing with them is pretty awesome.”

Across the room, Judy helps Ryder steady the power drill, then blows away the shavings on the board.

“Wow,” she says, rubbing her fingers across the hole, “that’s great.”

Over on a rug, Jos is working on her dictionary.

She is talking about why she likes her class.

“I love Judy,” she says. “I wish she wouldn’t retire. She finds out how to have fun while learning.”

Jos pauses. Then: “We are kids.”

And, as Judy would say, that’s the most essential ingredient to remember.

ogies and research we need to get there, and how we as a nation will get it done.

We need a detailed plan to put an end to the uncertainties that could delay a mission to Mars. NASA and American space companies must focus their engineering and scientific expertise on the great task before them. Americans will feel a renewed sense of pride and curiosity about their space program. And they will be able to celebrate another historic first

as we plant the American flag on Mars.

This could be a turning point in the history of our great space-faring nation.

We can do this.

What about the bunny?

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many children in the United States and around the world, Easter is a time for the great white bunny, fancy baskets, and lots of candy and goodies.

According to the History Channel website, www.history.com, the origins of a rabbit bringing goodies are vague, but throughout history, the rabbit has been the symbol of fertility and life, and the egg is a symbol of new life associated with spring festivals.

Churches and communities hold egg hunts for children, providing the opportunity to scoop up colored eggs, candy and goodies.

One of the biggest events in the nation is the annual egg roll at the White House in Washington, D.C. This year’s event will be March 28, and 35,000 are expected to attend.

Easter baskets, dye for real eggs, plastic eggs and tons of candy are purchased every year. According to the History Channel, more candy is sold at Easter than for any other holiday except Halloween.

Here are some numbers from the website Infoplease.com: • $2.3 billion was spent on Easter candy in 2014.

• 90 million chocolate bunnies are sold in a typical year.

• 700 million marshmallow Peeps are sold in a typical year.

• Just over three-fourths of Americans are in favor of eating the ears of a chocolate bunny first, according to a poll by the Statistical Brain Research Institute.

We all have mountains to climb Taking the long way home

As the last bits of sunlight began to fade behind the foothills on a recent day and my trail friends headed back to their vehicles at the Red Rocks trailhead, I looked at my phone and saw I had nearly two hours left before I needed to pick up our kid from her grandpa’s house in Louisville.

So, I dropped off my camera and grabbed my headlamp. After an hourlong trail run that included a semi-technical, 500-foot-plus climb — a run that served as a photo shoot for some of the pictures accompanying the page 12 Life story on trail running — I decided to do the full, 4-mile loop one more time.

Now, just what makes a person want to go running in the dark through one of the more technical, ankle-twisting trails along the West Metro Front Range?

The “why” of running is one of those spring-loaded questions often asked — not just of runners — but of anyone participating in an endurance sport or activity that carries with it a certain element of danger or risk. Even beyond that, `why?’ is the backdrop for every existential and philosophical debate since the dawn of mankind.

And, honestly, the why of it all is something I think of often, and in many regards. This column, a broad project about running and inspiration and how it pertains to life, is something I’ve been considering for the better part of four

year’s services as we try to connect people to God in ways they have never experienced before.”

One of the largest Easter services is the sunrise service held at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison.

“I have attended the sunrise services at Red Rocks the last two years,” said Wheat

years, beginning right after my daughter, Cecilia, was born in June 2012.

But I kept coming back to the same question: Why? What’s the purpose? And who will read it?

With those Jeremy Johnson questions still looming, a few DADDY ago, I ON THE RUN weeks committed to the Tales from column with my Front Range Trails editor and set a deadline. Days passed, and then a week, and still I continued to procrastinate.

Then, late last week, we had a company meeting where we were honored to hear keynote speaker Alan Arnette talk about mountain climbing in the wake of losing his mother to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alan’s message was rife with metaphors. Sure, he was talking about an actual mountain, and Mount Everest, the biggest one in the world at that. But the real message was about the mountains we all face.

Writing a column every other week shouldn’t be that big of a challenge, compared to the bigger challenge of trail running and the journey that started, for me, in 2011, with a few jaunts through

Pennsylvania’s famous oil region and culminated with not one but two 50-kilometer races through those same rolling hills lined with abandoned oil derricks and dilapidated, rusted well heads.

All the same, the idea became a mountain, and I struggled to find the means to summit. In other words, I was still searching for a purpose. Thanks to Alan, I think I finally found it.

Now, I won’t say my purpose for this ongoing column is nearly as noble as Alan’s quest to end Alzheimer’s through massive fundraising and awareness. But I do share the common goal of wanting to create lasting memories for myself, for my family and, maybe for you, the reader who’s looking for some inspiration to make change happen in his or her life.

I’m no expert trail runner or fitness guru. I’m just a guy who had some decent potential as a runner through high school but fell victim in my 20s and even my 30s to a physically abusive lifestyle that included, at different times, too much drinking, smoking and other unsavory behavior. Family, work and trail running saved my life, and so, for that reason, I want to share my story with you.

Because we all have our mountains to climb, even though the actual climb might look different for each of us. Perhaps instead of running, your passion is art, music, mountain biking, yoga, tai chi or dance. It doesn’t really matter.

What matters is that many of us see the mountain as too tall to climb. I’m hoping this column will provide the inspiration to start the trek.

If I can do it, if I can run miles and miles and miles on these 41-year-old legs, if I can overcome the obstacles of the impetuousness of youth in favor of finding peace and tranquility in family and friends and trails, so can anyone.

This column, while narrowly focusing on aspects of trail running like training, equipment and trail reviews, will aim to have a broader scope about how to achieve goals and chase dreams while balancing life, work and family.

Reach out with any questions, comments or thoughts about trail life — or life in general. Or send your own story to jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia. com, because I want us to go through this adventure together.

So, will you run along with me?

Ridge resident Anna Torres. “It is such a wonderful, inspirational service. Singing and praying as the sun rises reminds us of what Easter and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus means.”

The event is sponsored and organized by the Colorado Council of Churches.

There are 22 churches joining forces for this year’s event, including Arvada United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church of Englewood and St. Luke United Methodist Church of Highlands Ranch.

This marks the 69th year for the Red Rocks event. Last year, the sunrise service

drew a record 14,000 people, and an additional 7,000 watched online.

Parking and admission are free. Gates open at 4:30 a.m., with services beginning at 6 a.m. and usually lasting about an hour.

Not all Christian churches celebrate Easter this year on March 27. Orthodox congregations like those who attend St. Herman Orthodox Church at 991 W. Prentice Ave., Littleton, will celebrate Easter on May 1.

“The Orthodox Church adopted a modified calendar, which includes our way to set the date for Lent, Holy Week and Eas-

ter,” Father John Armstrong of St. Herman explained.

Armstrong said the services Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Holy Week are focused on marking the death and resurrection of Jesus. There is a Good Friday service with the church draped in dark colors and the doors to the altar closed. On Saturday at midnight, the congregation gathers to celebrate the resurrection. The nighttime service includes marching three times around the church and, when the worship is over, moving to the fellowship hall for a feast.

Springtime ballet program slated to leap into the season

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A happily anticipated springtime production is Colorado Ballet’s “Director’s Choice” program of contemporary works, which will happen March 25-27 at the Newman Center and on April 1 at Lone Tree Arts Center. With a mix of classical and contempo-

rary music, the company performs ballets created in recent years for varied companies by different choreographers.

The program will open with “Wolfgang (for Webb)” by Dominic Walsh, with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It premiered with the Sarasota Ballet in 2008 and in 2009, it was presented as part of “The Trilogy: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart” in

a collaboration between the Dominic Walsh Ballet Company and the Sarasota Ballet. Walsh is principal dancer and choreographer with the Houston Ballet and founder of the contemporary company that bears his name.

Next will be two pas de deuxs: Choreographer Amy Seiwert’s award-winning “It’s Not a Cry” is set to Jeff Buckley’s recording

of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

Siewert is artistic director and choreographer for the contemporary San Francisco ballet company Imagery and her work is performed across the U.S. She was a dancer with Smuin Ballet.

“Light Rain” by Gerald Arpino has been the Joffrey Ballet’s signature piece since it premiered in 1981. He was co-founder of the Joffrey Ballet and created

more than a third of the company’s repertoire. Arpino became director of the contemporary company after Joffrey’s death and moved it to Chicago, where it remains under direction of Ashley Wheaterer, who stepped in in 2007. Arpino died in 2008.

A new work by Colorado Ballet’s Ballet Mistress and choreographer Lorita Traviglia will close the program.

5 Unique Ways TO ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE EASTER CANDY The best parts of holiday celebrations are the special traditions that form lasting memories. Make Easter the most egg-cellent holiday by inspiring new traditions and creative activities, crafts and recipes for your family to enjoy for years to come.

Sweet Egg Decorating Many people celebrate the Easter holiday with brightly decorated hard-boiled eggs, but why not decorate chocolate eggs, too, for a sweet twist on a traditional favorite holiday craft. You

1

can use frosting and additional candy to decorate chocolate eggs, such as Cadbury Crème Egg Candy, in similar fashion to traditional eggs.

Candy Dish Treats Think candy is only reserved for Easter baskets? Try filling a glass vase with your favorite colorful candies to create a colorful, delicious candy dish the whole family can enjoy. Place faux flowers in the candy-filled vase and tie a bow of festive ribbon around it to create a simple, sweet arrangement.

2

Share with the Easter Bunny Santa isn’t the only one who likes sweets; this year, leave candies out for the Easter Bunny, too. Share this “hoppy” new tradition with family and friends using #HersheysEaster and make it part of your annual Easter Eve ritual.

3

Easter Egg Hunt Prep Step up your Easter egg hunt game by setting up prep stations with everything your family will need. Equip them with decorative baskets to put their

4

eggs in, leave clues of where the eggs are hidden on festive note cards and get them started with a sweet treat, such as their favorite candy, to kick it off.

Cooking with Candy An Easter basket isn’t the only way you can enjoy sweets. Get creative in the kitchen and find new ways to enjoy your favorite candies, such as this recipe that combines ice cream, cookies and Cadbury Crème Egg Candy for a one-of-a-kind dessert.

5

Candy Egg Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 cups vanilla ice cream 3 Cadbury Crème Egg Candy 8 large sugar cookies 1/4 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs Candy

Serves 4

Set ice cream on counter for 15-20 minutes, or until it begins to thaw and is easy to scoop.

Unwrap and chop egg candy into small pieces. Pour candy pieces (including gooey center off knife and cutting board) into medium mixing bowl.

Scoop ice cream into bowl with chopped candy. Using plastic spatula, stir candy and ice cream until well combined.

Pour ice cream mixture into rectangular or square 2-quart dish and spread into even layer, making sure candy is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap and place dish in freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until ice cream has set again.

In food processor, pulse mini egg candies until finely chopped.

Remove ice cream from freezer.

Place chopped mini candies in shallow bowl wide enough to fit a cookie.

Place 4 cookies bottom up on plate. Top each cookie with scoop of ice cream then top ice cream with another cookie (bottom facing ice cream). Press down on sandwich until ice cream reaches cookie edge.

Immediately roll ice cream edges of sandwich in chopped mini candies, turning sandwich until all edges are coated. Place sandwich on a dish and return to freezer. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

Wonder of water will be focus of presentation Widely traveled pair coming to Lone Tree

Chrysler Jeep West

IF YOU GO “National Geographic Live: Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice” will be presented on Lone Tree Arts Center’s Main Stage at 8 p.m. April 8. The Lone Tree Arts Center is located at 10075 Commons Drive, Lone Tree. Tickets: lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.

racudas … and much more. Travels next took them south and under the Antarctic ice where they found penguins, seals and shipwrecks.

And finally they headed north to Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence to find whales, wolfish, salmon and the harp seal, which is fighting to survive in a sea of shrinking ice.

Born in 1946, Doubilet discovered the magic of seeing light under water while at a summer camp (a counselor suggested he go stick his head underwater when he resisted the usual camp activities and games) — and never looked back. He graduated from Boston University and is the winner of many awards and a member of the Royal Photographic Society. Doubilet makes his home in Clayton, New York, a small town near the St. Lawrence River, with a second home in Dekolder, South Africa.

Photographer David Doubilet began snorkeling at age 8 at summer camp and by 12, he was shooting pictures underwater, using a Brownie Hawkeye camera placed in a rubber anesthesiologist bag supplied by a supportive father — with less than satisfactory results. Today, he takes various cameras on a shoot and has invented a special lens for underwater use.

He has long since mastered the techniques for reading water and light, has been a contributing photographer for National Geographic magazine and is among the world’s best-known underwater photographers.

In 50 years, he has ranged across the world, from interior Africa to tropical coral reefs, rich temperate seas and in recent years northern and southern ice realms.

Doubilet and his underwater partner Jennifer Hayes, an aquatic biologist who is also his wife, will bring a program called “Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice” to Lone Tree Arts Center’s Main Stage at 8 p.m. on April 8.

Hayes specializes in natural history and marine environments and is an authority on conservation of primitive fishes. She is a member of the Explorers Club (a note for those who saw the recent play by that name at Lone Tree — about the club’s first woman member.)

The two collaborate on photography, story production, feature articles and books. He has published nearly 70 stories in National Geographic over the years and a number of books. The most recent volume focused on waters around Cuba.

Recent assignments, to be introduced in the program, include coral-rich Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea, a corner of the coral triangle that includes the Philippines and Indonesia, where they found pygmy seahorses and 60-foot-tall towers of bar-

Versatility is hallmark of opera standout Denver guild competition awarded cash prizes

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

“I looked for five arias that show my versatility” to offer to judges of the Feb. 13 Denver Lyric Opera Guild annual Competition for Colorado Singers, said first-place winner Sarah Cambidge when we inquired about competition processes.

DLOG, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, has members throughout the metro area, and in addition to supporting young singers, it hosts opera-focused luncheons at various area country clubs, that include a performance or lecture.

Cambidge, who received her bachlor’s and master’s degrees in music from the University of Denver, is currently guest artist in residence at the Denver School of the Arts, where she works with vocal majors in the music department. She also has private students and continues to study with Ken Cox at DU. She sang “Song to the Moon” by Antonin Dvorak, in Czech, from “Russalka,” (“The Little Mermaid,”) to win the top place. Lyrics are by Czech poet Jaroslav Kvapic.

Among her other selections were the soprano arias from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” and from Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly.”

The preliminary competition drew 47 singers on Feb. 13 at Bethany Lutheran Church on East Hampden Avenue — an all-day event. Prior to that, DLOG offered a Master Class on Feb. 6, with critiques to help those new to this sort of competition. (Some local singers also compete in Metropolitan Opera and other competitions.)

Participants were from Colorado universities as well as singers who have launched on careers. The top prize was $6,000 and all 10 finalists received a check in some amount.

Cambidge said she started singing at age 8 with a children’s choir in her hometown, Vancouver, Canada.

“I had a big voice and the director suggested that I start voice lessons. I continued there until I came to DU and Ken Cox — and feel fortunate to have only had two voice teachers.” Both have taught her to “protect her instrument,’ she said.

No time for second guessing

“

Second serve is often the difference between winning and losing in tennis

There’s definitely more pressure.

Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense.”

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Sampras, the former world No. 1 tennis player, was revered for his accurate and winning serves.

He once said a tennis player is only as good as his or her second serve.

There is no argument against the importance of second serves by area high school girls tennis players who opened the season March 3.

“It’s overall the most important part of the game,” said Cherry Creek senior Kalyssa Hall, who was last season’s Class 5A No. 1 singles runner-up. “If you miss your first serve and you don’t have a second serve, if it’s a weak second serve, they will attack it immediately. Then if you can’t get it in, you are going to automatically lose a point.”

Players are more aggressive on first serves, hitting with more power.

Second serves are usually hit with a variety of spin in order not to be vulnerable for the opponent’s return.

Second serves are more strategic with placement and pace.

“Service is probably the most important part of tennis, so second serve is obviously important,” said Mountain Vista junior Casey Zhong, a left-hander who finished third in the No. 1 singles bracket in the 2015 state tournament. “If you can’t serve and start the point, how are you going to win the point?

“My second serve is usually more conservative. The goal of the second serve is to get it in … you want to hit a second serve with a lot of spin to throw your opponent off. My second service, believe it or not, has slice and top spin.”

Defending state No. 3 singles champion Gloria Son, a senior at Cherry Creek, doesn’t separate her first from her second serve.

“The first serve is the most important,” she said. “You can take more chances. It’s just important that your second serve is there when you need it.

You need to have a strong backup serve.

Clara Larson, Douglas County senior tennis player

Douglas County senior Clara Larson, who last season was the first player in recent school history to make it to the quarterfinals of the state tournament, says work in practice on second serves helps to build confidence. Photo by Jim Benton “For me my first serve is almost like my second serve. I just have one serve overall. First and second serve are the same for me with a lot of spin and I try to get it on the weaker side with a lot more slice since I am a lefty.”

Second serves can test a player’s mental toughness. Many players, especially in a close match, tighten up on crucial second serves.

“The second serve is all you, there’s nothing that your opponent controls

about it,” said Mountain Range senior No. 1 singles player Kristen Kirby, who finished fourth in last year’s 5A state tourney. “And on the second serve you are going to have a chance for a point or lose it right off the bat; it’s really easy to tense up and just try to get it in.

“The second service is kind of like you have muscle memory and you have to trust that it will come out and you’ll have the top spin and have the

right angle and everything. When I start not really trusting that muscle memory is when I get in trouble.”

Douglas County senior Clara Larson agrees that second serves can be pressure-packed.

“There’s definitely more pressure,” she said. “Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense. Depending on how well you hit it (second serve), it gives you the advantage of being in an offensive position or giving your opponent the advantage or putting you on defense.”

Serving in doubles is different because the return of serve is a key, since there is a player at the net. Service angles are critical and topspin serves usually result in good net rushing opportunities on returns.

So the importance of good second serves in doubles doesn’t diminish.

“Usually with my second serve, I know it has to go in and I hit it a lot less hard,” said D’Evelyn senior Trinity Payne, who teamed with Cammy Lee to capture the No. 4 doubles title in last season’s Class 4A state tournament.

Retired coach comes back to town, game Ed Montojo wasn’t planning to coach the Bear Creek girls soccer team this season.

The retired teacher spent February traveling to places like New York, Florida and Puerto Rico and didn’t get back to the Denver area until Jim Benton March 3.

“We thought we OVERTIME had a person in place to take over… but he got a new job and just couldn’t do it,” Montojo said. “So I’m back doing it.”

His travels caused Montojo to miss tryouts and the first practices of the season in late February. But he is back on the sideline now for his third campaign with the Bears.

Bear Creek went 9-43-3 the past four seasons and this year’s team is young with four freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors and four seniors. The Bears are 1-4 this season with a team com-

posed of mostly recreational players.

“We have a young team this season and we’ve had some flashes but we’re lacking the consistency,” Montojo said.

“I don’t worry about mistakes so much.

That’s part of the game. The mistake is feeling bad and dropping your head. It’s a growing process.”

Name change looms for Parker stadium Does anybody remember the original name for the stadium in Parker that opened in 2009?

It was Burt.com Stadium but the naming rights for the 5,500-seat venue, located at 11901 Newlin Gulch Blvd., changed to Sports Authority Stadium in 2010 when the sporting goods company signed a three-year contact with Douglas County.

Sports Authority is planning to reorganize in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, but didn’t renew the naming rights agreement for the stadium long before its financial troubles surfaced.

The Douglas County School District is close to revealing a new naming sponsor and look for signage to go up prior to the

start of the 2016-17 season.

“It will remain Sports Authority probably throughout the spring season unless the new people want to get their name up ASAP,” said Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athletic director.

“Then we will make a midseason change, but otherwise we’ll wait until the ‘16-17 year to do it.”

Snow can’t strand swimmers One of the best features about boys swimming is the sport is not exposed to Colorado’s spring snowstorms.

That was the case March 19 when several scheduled events were postponed because of a storm, but the Dick Rush Coaches Invitational swim meet was held at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

It was a chance for three local athletes to shine.

Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 50-yard freestyle in 21.12 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 46.02. Heritage junior Michael Hinton was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.22, while teammate Patrick Kelley, also a junior, won the

200 IM in 2:54.52.

Cherry Creek finished third in the team standings, with Arapahoe fourth and Ponderosa fifth. Heritage was seventh.

Alumni report Zach Braxton, a Highlands Ranch graduate and a redshirt freshman starter at Weber State in Ogden, Utah, scored seven points in the Wildcats’ 71-53 loss to Xavier in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament Westmont College junior Daniel Butler, a Valor Christian graduate who lives in Lone Tree, tossed a nine-inning no hitter in a 6-0 win over Arizona Christian on March 18. Butler, who hit a batter to lead off the game but faced only 27 hitters in the contest, improved his career record to 17-1 at the Santa Barbara, California, school.

Arapahoe’s Izzy Benasso (7) battled a Monarch player for control of the ball during the March 19 Warrior Invitational Girls Soccer Tournament Championship game. It was a physical battle between two talented soccer teams that went the distance as Monarch won 2-1 in a shootout. Photos by Tom Munds

Warriors net second in tourney Monarch edges Arapahoe in title game shootout

Maddie Matthews heads a ball to a teammate during the March 19 Warrior Invitational Girls Soccer Tournament game against Monarch.

The game was tied 1-1 after regulation time plus two 10-minute overtimes and Monarch won the game 2-1 in a shootout.

They said it “Monarch pressed hard in the first half, but we didn’t make any changes or adjustments at halftime,” coach Hampshire said. “It was all the kids that made things happen for us in the second half. They decided the effort they put in the first half wasn’t enough, and the team leaders said, ‘We need to pick it up, take control,’ and we did.”

Hampshire said his players are winners who are on a mission, and the loss to Monarch won’t slow them down. The coach said his team is a balance of grade levels with a few senior leaders plus a lot of talented young players who earned the right to play at the varsity level.

“Playing a tough team like Monarch this early in the season is good for our team to see the caliber of teams they will be facing throughout the schedule because there are few, if any, poor-quality 5A teams in our state,” he said. “Every team we play we know they will come out and play their best game against us, so we just have to be ready to play hard from the opening kickoff.”

goal on an assist from Haley Archuleta.

Arapahoe put 15 shots on goal as 10 Warriors took shots at the net.

Weiss was the shot leader with four while teammates Maddie Matthews and Alexandra Jackson each put two shots on the net. Goalie Hannah Archuleta made four saves to the Warriors.

Going forward The soccer field will be empty during spring break, but the Warriors return to practice March 28. On March 29 they will face crosstown rival Littleton in a 6 p.m. game at Littleton Public School Stadium.

They then are on their home field March 31 for a 4:30 p.m. nonleague game against Pomona.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Play for 100 minutes didn’t determine the outcome of the March 19 Arapahoe-Monarch game for the Warrior Invitational Soccer Tournament championship, so the winner was determined by a shootout, and Monarch prevailed 2-1.

Key moments Arapahoe scored about seven minutes into the first half, and Monarch scored with about seven minutes left in the initial period to tie the score 1-1. The second half and both 10-minute overtime periods were scoreless. To break the tie, five players from each team engaged in a shootout, which Monarch won.

“We played very well tonight against a good soccer team,” Warriors coach Mike Hampshire said after the game. “It proved that soccer is the most fickle game in the world.

We controlled the second half and both overtime periods, but had some unlucky breaks like two shots going off the post and their goalie making a great save. We had chances, but sometimes this game doesn’t let you win when you probably should have won.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn.

Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation.

What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
