Lost Highway finds itself in Centennial

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Later this month, the craft beer community will find something to be hoppy about — the opening of the relocated Belgian craft brewery, Lost Highway Brewing Co. Lost Highway opened the doors to its Colfax location in October 2013. As the business grew, the company needed room to expand. The answer, owner Tina Pachorek said, was relocating to 12741 E. Caley Ave. in Centennial, near I-25 and Arapahoe Road. The new taproom, scheduled to open April 29, is going to be dog and family friendly.

“It is all starting to fall into place,” Pachorek said. “Centennial was always our number one spot and location.”

The brewery needed more room, pri-

marily for its new canning line. Lost Highway plans on canning five of its beers: Golden Ghost Belgian Pale, District 6 Pilsner, Longest Wickedest Wit, Hitchhiker IPA and the HopKat. They recently got picked up by the distributor, Colorado Craft Distributors.

“People want our beer,” Pachorek said. “Canning is a thriving market right now and we decided the best way to get our beer out to more people is to bring it to them.”

Popular beers at Lost Highway, Pachorek said, are the Coconut Almond Porter, Golden Ghost, the HopKat and the Hitchhiker. The Hitchhiker is a favorite because the hops are constantly changing, making every batch of beer different, she said.

In 2016, Lost Highway’s Golden Ghost won bronze in the Belgian-style pale ale or blonde-ale category out of

60 entries at the World Beer Cup in Philadelphia. The competition takes place every two years and the entrants pour their brews from across the globe.

James Pachorek, Tina’s husband and co-owner of Lost Highway, is a Belgian Beer Knight. Every year in Belgium, a beer festival is hosted and brewers are knighted.

“They acknowledge and knight the people who, in their opinion, escalated Belgian beer in one way or another,” Pachorek said.

Lost Highway recently hired a new head brewer, Brian Connery, who has brewed for 20 years. In addition to feeling excited to work with the owners, Connery is most looking forward to experimenting with new brewing ideas.

“I am working with owners that have a better appreciation of the beer industry,” Connery said. “They are

just as excited as I am to get started here. We are basically going to be throwing around the concept of `what if ’ a lot.”

Connery will be leading a new program in which a saison beer — a type that is fruity, spicy and typically highly carbonated — will be released every six to eight weeks.

Other Centennial breweries are excited to welcome the newcomer to the community.

“We are more than excited to have Lost Highway come to Centennial,” said Andrew Duvall, community and sales manager for Resolute Brewery, which opened in August 2016. “The more great beer we can bring into Centennial, the better south Denver can be. We are a community in the craft beer industry and we look forward to having them as neighbors.”

South Suburban master plan to be presented to board STAFF REPORT

The final draft of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s upcoming master plan will be presented to the board of directors in May. The master plan will help the district identify priorities over the next

decade. Through surveys and meetings beginning last year, the district and its consultants have identified what the district should focus on, including maintaining existing properties rather than acquiring new ones, improving energy and water use efficiency and connecting trails.

The draft plan is available online until April 14 at bitly.com/ssprd-master-final-draft. The district will hold a public hearing on the plan at 7 p.m. on April 26 at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. It will be presented to the board for possible approval on May 10.

South Suburban encompasses 74 parks and more than 2,000 acres of open space, as well as more than 100 miles of trails and four recreation centers across Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar and unincorporated areas of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

Planning a path for cyclists, pedestrians County’s master plan reaches its final stage of outreach

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Sundays, Karina Elrod, of Littleton, and her family choose to not use their own vehicle. Safety is a priority for her family as they seek other ways to navigate their day.

“Wherever we want to go on Sunday, we have to use a bike, our feet or public transit,” Elrod said.

“Biking is becoming more and more of what we do… I want to keep my family safe and healthy.”

Elrod was one of many Arapahoe County residents packed into the Carson Nature Center in Littleton on April 4 for the Arapahoe County Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan open house.

“I am hoping that the masterplan is well thought through,” Elrod said. “I want it to be comprehensive… this is about a good quality of life.”

Arapahoe County’s vision for its future of bicycle and pedestrian transportation is in the process of being polished by citizens and implemented into a master plan.

In May 2016, Arapahoe County sought out a plan to design the future for bike riders and pedestrians.

According to the master plan, the vision is to build a “comprehensive system of on-street and trail facilities that safely connects neighborhoods and destinations and encourages walking and bicycling for travel and recreation.”

The plan is being created without design or construction guidelines, said Caitlin Wilson, communication services specialist for the county’s community resources, public works and development department.

“It is truly just a blueprint for the future,” Wilson said. “This will serve as a working document for future trail and on-street plans. It will take some serious time with a lot of moving parts... It identifies the gaps.”

A group of Arapahoe County residents discusses items on the proposed planning map at the Arapahoe County Bike and Pedestrian Masterplan Open House at the Carson Nature Center in Littleton on April 4.

STEPHANIE MASON In phases one and two, the county completed an inventory and assessment of sidewalks, on-street bike facilities and trails.

In the county, there are 3,321 miles of sidewalk in the urbanized areas.

Detached sidewalks — meaning those separated from the road by a buffer zone — take up 30 percent of all sidewalks, while 70 percent of them are attached, meaning they are directly adjacent to the road.

The county recorded 100 miles of missing sidewalk segments.

In its assessment of bike pathways, the county found that 17 percent of roadways are low-stress for bikers and 62 percent are highstress, meaning the biker is on the road alongside traffic.

In its first two phases, the county also recognized a need for education and outreach strategies.

Between 2010 and 2014 in Arapahoe County, there were more than 900 crashes involving a pedestrian and a motorist, and more than 700 accidents between a cyclist and a motorist.

“Biking is becoming more and more of what we do … I want to keep my family safe and healthy.”

Karina Elrod Littleton resident Now in phase three, the final segment to the outreach and planning process, Arapahoe County is putting the finishing touches on ideas and maps.

In recent open houses in Littleton and Aurora, residents were encouraged to write on the proposed bike and pedestrian map. Citizens circled areas where they were interested in seeing future trails constructed and wrote comments about subjects like sidewalk conditions.

Now that the community comments are collected, the maps are

in the process of being refined. The next step, Wilson said, is bringing the plans to Arapahoe municipalities and gaining approval from the board of county commissioners.

Phase three of the master plan is expected to be completed in July or August.

“Once completed, it will be up to cities and rec districts to decide where they want to implement changes,” Wilson said.

As for the entire plan, Wilson said, a proposal of this size could take up to 15 years to implement.

BUSINESS

The chamber connection: Helping businesses and residents

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chambers of commerce are designed to help their businesses grow and prosper in the community, bring in new customers and contribute to the economy.

But that’s not their only focus — chambers also inform and connect the residents of their communities.

“If businesses thrive, residents do as well,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce.

“We live in the community, too, and want it to keep growing and improving.”

With all the connections and resources available to them, chambers can serve as critical connections between businesses, nonprofits, local governments and residents.

“We work with the West Chamber and Arvada Chamber, because they provide great business connections, and because we’re always looking for experience faculty,” said Kim Rein, director of marketing and communications at Red Rocks Community College. “When we were raising capital for our Arvada campus, they were great in helping us raising awareness in the community.”

Training and leadership classes are also often hosted by chambers to get residents more involved.

“The chamber offers a leadership program, a young professionals program and various seminars,” wrote Angela Habben, Metro North Chamber president and CEO, in an email interview.

“All these provide diverse insight and information into the regional community and benefit one’s business — and personal — growth and development.”

Two of the most common ways residents interact with chambers are through chambers’ resources and special events.

Resources for newcomers, shoppers “When I needed to move a couple states over, the first place I called was the chamber of commerce of the city where I was moving,” said Andrea LaRew, president of Highlands Ranch’s chamber. “I wish more residents knew to use us as a resource. If someone needs something, we can help them or know someone who can.”

Chambers often serve as a first point

of contact for new residents, providing welcome kits and guides to the city. They also provide information to tourists interested in learning about hot spots to visit and entertainment options.

“We’re set up at the Arvada Visitor Center, and are able to interact with people just visiting our city,” said Kami Welch, president of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. “Our place is to be on the home turf and educate and connect people in the community.”

For the person looking for a plumber, real estate agent or insurance company, chambers make connecting to reputable businesses easy through online directories and in-person recommendations.

“We all band together to promote Jeffco businesses,” said Pam Bales, president and CEO of Jefferson County’s West Chamber. “We have a huge list of businesses to connect with people who need a wide range of services.”

For those who prefer a physical resource, chambers create guides that residents can pick up and keep in their car or home. But more and more chambers have embraced social media and technology to extend the reach of businesses in creative and interactive ways.

“As a chamber, we’re always in the loop on what’s happening in the community,” LaRew said. “It’s all about access and connection.”

What members are saying

Community events, large and small When a visitor is sampling some of the best Jeffco eateries at Taste of the West, checking out sweet rides at the Englewood Car Show or watching a bull rider at the Douglas County Fair, they’re taking part in a chamber-sponsored event.

Many cities’ signature events are hosted or sponsored by their chambers, which serve the dual purpose of highlighting and connecting residents to member businesses, but also promote the city.

“The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo has been part of the history here for 60 years,” Ridler said. “We also have the Lighting of the Star event, and the Colorado Artfest is going into its 28th year.”

Beyond the big events, chambers host smaller community-driven happenings that connect residents with everyone from nonprofits to elected officials.

These events are open to all residents.

“We have second and fourth Friday coffees in the morning at different area businesses, which helps us reach our residents directly,” said Randy Penn, director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

“One of the things we’ve had to change is how we reach out to citizens. We Penn have a great relationship with the city, and our next step is getting more residents involved.”

Some of the Arvada Chamber’s most popular events are its third Friday breakfasts, where attendees discuss everything from legislative wrap-ups to the state of the city, county, transportation and much more.

“We host a candidate forum every year that is really well-attended by residents,” Welch said. “We’re always looking at ways to tackle these issues.

Sometimes it gets heated, depending on the subject, but that’s how a good discussion goes.”

Smaller chambers, like the West Colfax Community Association, host monthly morning meetings, that provide information and the opportunity to make important community connections.

“My brand new business wouldn’t exist without the WCCA,” said Gene Kalesti, owner of Pure Colorado Event Center and Kitchen. “All the connections needed to get started, I made the association’s meetings.”

In the end, so much of what chambers do comes down to a single word — connection. That applies to businesses, residents and the community at large.

“Our publications of a city guide that talks about Westminster, open job postings on our website, resident community bags and an online events calendar, ensure people can take on an active role in the community,” wrote Juliet Abdel, Westminster Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, in an email interview. “Residents can also partner as community investors and participate in committees and projects that make a significant impact in our city.”

District attorney, congressman join race for governor’s seat Brauchler, Perlmutter among those seeking to replace Hickenlooper

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

George Brauchler is seeking to trade his 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office for one in the state Capitol. Brauchler, a Republican, is campaigning to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the 2018 election.

Citing what he called “ a lack of real leadership at the state level,” Brauchler said he wants to push for a stronger economy and tougher sentences for violent criminals.

“Our governor has spent the last six years being affable,” said Brauchler, who announced his candidacy April 5.

On the heels of Brauchler’s announcement, the race was infused with another big name, this one on the Democratic side. Six-term Congressman Ed Perlmutter made his candidacy for governor official on April 9. Perlmutter, of Golden, was first elected to the U.S. House in 2006.

He represent Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, which largely comprises politically diverse Jefferson County.

Brauchler was elected district attorney in 2012 and re-elected after running unopposed in 2016.

The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

He gained nationwide recognition for prosecuting the case against Aurora theater shooter Brauchler James Holmes, calling the case “the biggest trial in the history of the state.” He said maintaining his obligations outside the courtroom during the trial shows he can maintain his role as district attorney during the campaign. He added Perlmutter he would put his campaign on hiatus if a big case came up.

In February, Colorado’s economy was ranked the best in the country

by U.S. News and World Report, but Brauchler said it could be better with less regulation and streamlined registration policies for small business owners.

“We’re spending a lot of time running with the herd. I think we can be leading the pack,” Brauchler said.

“Are we doing well? I think we’re doing fine, but we can be doing bigger

and better for a longer period of time with the right leadership.”

Calling criminal justice his “wheelhouse,” Brauchler said he will push for stronger minimum sentences for DUI and homicide offenders.

“Right now, someone can commit serious murder and 20-25 years later be back on the street,” he said.

Brauchler has lived in Colorado for 45 years, currently residing in Parker with his wife and four children. He attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard.

Perlmutter, who launched his campaign at a grocery store in Golden on April 9, served in the state Sentate from 1995-2003. He said he is primarily concerned with protecting the environment and health care for Colorado.

Perlmutter said that under the Trump administration, he believes he can do more good as the governor than as a congressman “because it is the states that can act as a check and balance.”

Brauchler and Perlmutter have joined a crowded field that includes more than a dozen candidates.

Notable on the Republican side is businessman Victor Mitchell, a Castle Rock resident who served in the state

House from 2007-09. Mitchell runs Lead Funding, an organization that offers financing options for homebuilders and developers.

Mitchell was undaunted in his quest for a showdown in the June 2018 Republican primary election.

“Attorney Brauchler is a fine fellow — a pretty good lawyer. He’s a patriot and soldier,” Mitchell said in an emailed statement. “But we don’t need yet another lawyer at the Capitol. We need business people who are proven managers.”

Aside from Perlmutter, the Democrats in the race with the most name recognition are former state Sen. Mike Johnston and former state Treasurer Cary Kennedy.

Johnston is a Denver resident who served in the state Senate from 200916, and before that, was a teacher and principal.

State Senate to determine fate of transportation bill HB-1242 would ask voters to approve sales tax hike for road funding

“All of this needs a vote of the people.”

Sen. Daniel Kagan D-Cherry Hills Village

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State lawmakers are pushing to get a sales tax increase in front of voters this November to fund transportation infrastructure improvements. But while House Bill 17-1242 has widespread support among Democrats, who ensured its passage in the House, it has been met with mixed approval by Republicans.

The bill would place a measure on the ballot to increase the state sales and use tax from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent beginning Jan. 1, 2018 and lasting until 2038. It passed a House vote on March 31 by a 41-24 count and advanced to the Senate, where it would need approval before making its way to the governor’s desk. It has been assigned to the transportation committee.

The bill was sponsored in the Democrat-controlled House by Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs, and in the Republicancontrolled Senate by Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, and Sen. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs.

The state transportation system faces a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

If the bill passes at the Capitol and then voters give it the nod, the measure would raise a net amount of about $604 million in new revenue from taxes in fiscal year 2018-19, according to an estimate from the Colorado Legislative Council staff.

Under the bill, $300 million of the new revenue will be paid to the state highway fund, with the remainder going to county and municipal governments and a new multimodal transportation fund to develop public transit and bike and pedestrian options. It would also decrease the road safety surcharge — a vehicle registration fee — from $23 to $9 for most cars.

“All of this needs a vote of the people,” Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, said at a town hall he hosted in Littleton on April 4.

Despite some Republican support in the Senate, it drew vocal opposition from House Republicans. Before the House voted on the bill, House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, and Assistant Leader Cole Wist, of Centennial, blasted, saying that they were excluded from discussions.

Wist believes that transportation improvements should be paid for with existing revenue streams rather than new taxes.

“It’s irresponsible for us to go and ask for a tax increase before exhausting all other options,” he said.

Wist also believes there will be significant Republican opposition to the bill in the Senate.

“Just because the Senate president is sponsoring the bill doesn’t mean it has majority support of that caucus,” he said.

Ultimately, four House Republicans supported it, including Polly Lawrence, of Roxborough Park. Lawrence,

who initially opposed it, still has problems with the bill, but hopes the Senate will make some changes to it.

“I had quite a few concerns,” she said, noting that she thinks the sales tax increase is too much and she does not like the multimodal transportation oversight committee the bill creates.

She believes the state should dedicate some general fund money to transportation projects.

“The reason I voted `yes’ was to telegraph to the Senate that I think they can make the changes necessary to make this a workable bill to fix our transportation issues across the state,” she said.

Republican House leaders attempted to divert other funding sources to transportation projects during budget negotiations on April 6, but were thwarted by the Democratic majority. Solutions the Republicans offered up included diverting general fund money, reducing funding for renewable energy programs and more.

Kagan, who supports HB 17-1242, said he would prefer raising the income tax to raising the sales tax as a means of meeting budget needs, but understands that is a tougher sell to voters. He also said raising gasoline taxes may not fix the problem, as it’s a shrinking revenue source as people both drive less and drive more fuelefficient vehicles.

“We think that by doing it this way we potentially have a compromise that can be agreed upon,” he said.

school last year and spent a semester at Colorado State University before deciding to take some time off.

He plans to return to college, but in the meantime, he is learning a skill that he hopes will help land him a job to help pay his way through school.

“Every college town in America has a bike shop,” he said.

Most of Goodturn’s customers since opening in November come in for the rentals. Buying an eBike ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 but a two-hour rental is $30. Outdoor Operation Director Tyler Burns said customers can ride out of the shop and be on the South Platte River Trail in minutes, on their way to Chatfield State Park or other destinations.

“I haven’t had anybody come back and not have a good time,” he said.

Most of the eBikes are pedal-assisted — the rider still has to put in some effort — and top out at 20 mph.

The electric motors can be as powerful as 750 watts — slightly more than one horsepower — and add 15 to 20 pounds to the weight of the bike.

Riders of eBikes run the gamut, but Burns said they are particularly popular among commuters and those who may be physically unable to ride a traditional bicycle.

“We had one lady with a muscle disorder and she couldn’t exercise

in any way,” he said. “This was the only way to get her outside.”

Hartman is the only apprentice in the program so far, but Burns said at least one other may be coming on board soon. The three-month program is designed to teach bike mechanics as well as retail skills and the specifics of the tourism industry.

“The hardest part is learning the mechanics themselves,” Hartman said. “Dealing with things like ball bearings and not losing them.”

So far he is enjoying the work, however.

“I have two chill bosses and I get to work with my hands,” he said, “so I’m pretty happy.”

H

ave you ever heard of Rube Goldberg?” Jennifer said.

“Of course.”

“Design one yourself. It might turn into a good column.”

Goldberg (1882-1970) was known for depicting complicated gadgets that are sequenced to complete a very simple task.

They were the opposite of efficiency. I think we all have encountered the opposite of efficiency.

Variations of Goldberg’s ingenious designs have appeared in a number of films. I recommend “The Way Things Go,” but you will also find Goldberg variations in “Back to the Future” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,”

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a famous course, Design and Manufacturing, that requires students to create a robot that will complete a relatively simple task with disproportionate ingenuity.

Ultimately there is a competition, “an Olympics of engineering,” in front of a cheering crowd.

I told Jennifer that I already had a good idea for a column.

“How to brighten up your spring patio with new and colorful furniture.”

She pretended to yawn.

I sat down to work on the crossword puzzle with my favorite No. 2 pencil.

“One across,” I said, “I know that one,”

and I was about to fill in the letters, when the point of my pencil broke.

I looked at Jennifer and Jennifer looked at me.

“How are you going to sharpen your pencil?” she said.

“OK, OK,” I said.

I thought about how I could sharpen the pencil and make an adventure out of it.

How do we sharpen pencils?

When I was just a grade-school boy, I pointed pencils in manual sharpeners. The sharpeners were usually black, and stuck to a wall.

id your car insurance premiums go up this year? You’re not alone. Colorado is experiencing a surge in auto insurance rates, with drivers seeing an average rate increase of 15 percent or more on policy renewals.

This trend has not gone unnoticed.

GUEST We are working hard to bring those COLUMN costs down with a package of bills aimed at reducing insurance rates for struggling Coloradans.

There are a number of reasons, beyond individual risk factors, why we may all be experiencing steep increases in our auto insurance premiums this year. Mandates that incentivize lawsuits or exorbitant jury awards drive up all of our rates.

Several years ago, Colorado had Jack Tate a no-fault insurance system which mandated drivers buy expensive coverage and auto insurance rates skyrocketed. After the no-fault system crashed in on itself in 2003, premiums plummeted and created a marketplace with more individual options suited to drivers’ needs.

However, with more folks moving to Colorado every day, we simply have more drivers on Colorado highways than we can accommodate. Invariably, with more drivers we see more accidents. During the past five years, insurance companies have struggled to keep up with the surge in claims that barely break even with funds collected from our premium costs, especially considering the surge in uninsured motorists.

This Republican-led effort aims to lower premiums

You can still find them.

When I was a college student, one of my drawing professors expected us to whittle our points, and then refine them on little wooden paddles that had small strips of sandpaper stapled to them.

He thought the pencil sharpeners were far too aggressive, and that too much pencil was wasted.

When I taught drawing, I had four electric pencil sharpeners stationed around the room. If it were not for the electric sharpeners, too much class time would have been spent pointing pencils.

We rely on convenience, unless we’re cast away on an island like Tom Hanks.

I did think about the little sandpaper paddles, however. Could I make my own sanding surface and sharpen a pencil that way — if I were stranded somewhere?

I determined that I could. But I would need to have access to sand or

arts. The NEA is the only funder, public or private, that provides equal access to the arts in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, supporting performances, exhibitions, healing arts and arts education programs, festivals, and artist residencies.

And the NEA is on the verge of striking out.

Yes, I understand – and advocate for – the need to reduce the federal deficit, and yet the current White House budget proposal does not do that. And yes, I also understand that reducing the federal deficit means a reduction in spending … a reduction that causes the least harm and has the most impact. This budget doesn’t do that either.

We will never, ever agree on what causes the least harm, but what has the most impact on budget reduction is pretty quantifiable. For example, funding for the National Endowment of the Arts is on the chopping block.

Yet the National Endowment for the Arts’ 2016 appropriation of $148 million constitutes only .004 percent of the federal budget.

Additionally, NEA grants provide a significant return on investment of federal dollars with $1 of NEA direct funding leveraging up to $9 in private and other public funds, resulting in $500 million in matching support in 2016.

With only the $148 million annual budget, the NEA investments in the arts contributes to a $730 billion

Any island that calls itself an island has sand.

But I don’t know what I would do about the glue.

I was never a Boy Scout. I have no survival skills. I have a refrigerator.

However, I know that some glues are nature-based, and that sap is very sticky.

I also know that starch is used in some adhesives, for corrugated board and wallpaper.

My island might have a potato tree.

Or I could loan the pencil to a gerbil. They gnaw, you know.

Ultimately, I gave up on it, walked to the studio, and let my electric Panasonic take care of it.

I sat down with my yellow, No. 2 pencil and looked at one across again.

Colorado Creative Industries, the NEA’s arm in our state, reports that Colorado ranks first in the nation for percentage of residents who personally perform or create artworks, second for residents who attend films and visit historic buildings, neighborhoods and parks, and third in reading literature and in attendance for live music, theater or dance.

So … what do we here in Colorado want the “Ballad of the Republic Sung in 2018” to be, 130 years after Casey took the bat?

Arapahoe County denies plan for Platte Canyon homes Proposed 40-unit duplex development does not receive zoning change

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On April 4, the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners voted to deny a preliminary development plan and zoning change for a proposed housing development at the

southwest corner of Bowles Avenue and Platte Canyon Road.

The plan, proposed by KB Home, would have allowed for 40 paired duplex homes on the 5.56-acre parcel, a density of 7.08 homes per acre, as opposed to the 2.18 homes per acre allowed under the current residential-2 zoning.

The plan, dubbed Platte Canyon Villas, drew significant opposition from neighbors citing concerns about the density, the traffic and the effect on enrollment at Wilder Elementary School.

A higher-density 50-home development for the site was already denied last year. County staff recommended the revised application be approved, saying that it conforms to the comprehensive plan.

Though the location is in unincorporated Arapahoe County, it is bordered by Littleton on three sides.

Four members of the board voted in favor of District 1 Commissioner Kathleen Conti’s motion to deny the development plan, citing a “lack of compatibility with the surrounding

area.” District 3 Commissioner Jeff Baker said that although he understands objections to the development, he voted against Conti’s motion.

“Property rights was what it came down to,” he said, noting that he also wanted to respect staff and the Planning Commission’s recommendations in favor of the project.

“I understand there are lot of people who think this is incompatible with the area,” he said.

Medicinal plants heal the mind, body and soul

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

April 14, 2017A

ith spring seedlings now popping through the soil, Colorado gardeners everywhere anticipate the growing season of flowers, vegetables and herbs, all of which can be used for a variety of health benefits, experts say.

Plants are rich in minerals and vitamins that can greatly benefit an individual’s body, mind and

soul, said Dani Otteson, a community herbalist at Milkweed Herbarium in Littleton.

“Medicinal herbs are very versatile,” Otteson said. “I think a lot of times in society we don’t think as much about what we can do to support our health. People think about what medicine they need when they are sick, but we need to take care of ourselves and support our wellness.”

Community herbalists sell medicinal herbs to the public, but they are not to be confused with a medical professional, Otteson said. Before using a plant as medicine, it is always wise to talk to a medical professional about any SEE PLANTS, P17

For the mind Otteson started Milkweed Herbarium a year ago. At her business, she sells herbal teas and teaches classes.

Otteson, a Littleton resident, primarily teaches people how to use medicinal plants, explaining how to blend teas, make syrups and create infused oils or honey.

Since entering the world of medicinal plants, Otteson has experienced a positive change.

“One of the biggest differences is that now I am more aware of how I feel,” Otteson said. “It has gotten me really used to checking in and figuring out why I don’t feel good and where don’t I feel good. At that point, I can find the best thing to help.”

Her class on nurturing grief and broken hearts is Otteson’s favorite class to teach. She teaches people strategies for dealing with grief, such as prayer, exercise and writing.

“There is no one thing that can be an answer, but there are a lot of different strategies I suggest people try,” Otteson said.

She also demonstrates how to make teas that she says help with the grieving process.

Otteson believes that minerals in certain teas can calm and nurture a person. She suggests people drink tea three to four times a day to benefit from minerals in the tea blend.

“In general, minerals are one of the more difficult ingredients for people to get, especially in the standard American diet,” Otteson said.

The teas Otteson blends are all inspired by different punk rock songs and albums.

Otteson’s uplifting, mood-boosting tea blend, for example, is called “Rise Above,” named after a song by the punk band Black Flag.

Otteson said that she creates teas for people dealing with sleep issues and stress. She said it is important to deal with any underlying issues with a psychologist, but she also suggests a soothing tea blend.

Otteson’s most popular tea blend recommended for calming a mind is called “I Want to be Sedated,” named after a song

by The Ramones. In that tea, she puts catnip, chamomile and passion flower.

“Sleep and stress are two of the biggest challenges for people,” Otteson said. “The tea is calming; you can give it to kids, too.”

Dani Otteson, a community herbalist who recently opened her business, Milkweed Herbarium, holds an unblended tea.

For the body Dating back to ancient Egypt, the aloe plant has a long history of medicinal use, according to healthline.com. The plant is a common household succulent often used for sunburn relief.

According to the website: • The plant contains active compounds that may reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate skin growth. Simply rubbing a small amount into a burn several times will help reduce pain and encourage healing.

• The anti-inflammatory property of aloe, B-sisterole, can ease the pain and reduce the affects of rhumatoid arthritis by consuming two ounces of aloe up to three times a day.

• The clear fluid in an aloe plant is 99 percent water. The other one percent is full of antimicrobial properties and contains vitamins C and E. This means that the non-greasy fluid can fight acne, reverse aging effects in skin and serve as a moisturizer.

• Aloe vera extract is also a good substitute for chemical mouthwash. The vitamin C fights plaque and the aloe soothes sensitive, swollen or bleeding gums.

Aloeplant.info, a website serving as a wellness resource to using aloe for health, suggests creating a honey and aloe face mask. The honey’s antibacterial abilities and aloe’s anti-inflammatory properties combined reduce redness, fight acne and moisturize the skin.

To make the mask, combine one tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel and one tablespoon of raw, unpasteurized honey.

Apply to the face, neck or back and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing the mask off with warm water.

For the soul Rachel Sorrell, owner of Sorrell’s Healing Arts in Evergreen, studied the Mayan approach to medicinal plants in Guatemala.

“I think there is a lot out there that is about fitness and lifestyle, but a lot of the time people forget about self-care,” Sorrell said.

Sorrell works with cacao, which she said is the purest form of chocolate. She mixes two tablespoons of cacao powder in hot water with chili powder and cinnamon — the same way the Mayans consumed the plant.

“In cacao, there are three main ingredients that allow a really beautiful thing to happen within a person,” Sorrell said. “The scientific name for cacao is theobroma. It translates to `food of the gods.’ ” The first ingredient in cacao is theobromine, which is similar to caffeine. Theobromine boosts energy and focus but has less of a “crash” than caffeine, Sorrell said.

The second ingredient in cacao is anandamide, or the “bliss chemical.”

“As humans, we naturally release anandamide when we are feeling pure joy or pure bliss,” Sorrell said.

The third ingredient, phenethylamine, is known as the love chemical. Sorrell said it is naturally produced in the human brain when falling in love.

“These three chemicals together allow people to enter a higher state of consciousness,” Sorrell said.

“Cacao is a facilitator that works within a person’s body to reach a higher state of feeling bliss, love and focus.”

Sorrell leads cacao meditations, in which clients consume a cacao beverage with four to six tablespoons of cacao, more than Sorrell’s recommendation of two tablespoons.

After drinking the cacao drink, the meditation starts with some movement and ends in a sitting meditation.

“When people cry, it makes me so happy,” Sorrell said. “It is not that I like to see people cry, it is just very moving. I can see people work through things with the help of cacao.”

All things must pass — another record store is shutting down

H

ave you ever driven by a house you once lived in, perhaps a childhood home, and wanted to stop in and see how things are different?

I had the opportunity to do this every time I stepped into the Angelo’s CDs and More in Wheat Ridge. I worked in the store through college, and before that LINER my mother owned NOTES the Budget Tapes and CDs at that same location for more than 20 years.

But now, after decades of businesses in the Applewood shopping center, the store is closing at the end of April.

I got the bad news Clarke Reader during a recent Saturday visit to the store, and it knocked the wind out of me. It was like hearing the house you grew up in was going to be bulldozed.

Like Joni Mitchell once wrote, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

According to a handout given to shoppers, the store is closing because of an increase in rent prices in the shopping center, as well as required upgrades to the property that Angelo’s would have to pay for. Instead, the location is having a big closing sale all month, and employees will be going to the East Colfax and South Broadway locations.

With its closing, west Jefferson County loses its only significant inde-

pendent music store. On West Colfax there is Chain Reaction records, which focuses on metal and punk albums, and on Wadsworth in Arvada there is Black and Read, but that store doesn’t just do music — it also sells books, games and movies. If you want to peruse the latest vinyl releases, check out local artists and get a new CD for your car, the options are now big box stores like Best Buy, Target and Barnes and Noble, or heading to downtown Denver.

In 2015, Colin Hanks (Tom Hank’s son) made a fantastic documentary called “All Things Must Pass,” about the rise and fall of the Tower Records chain. The film is overflowing with interviews with former Tower employees, and music luminaries like Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Elton John and David Geffen. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about some of the things these people discussed since I found out the Wheat Ridge Angelo’s closing.

The shuttering of Tower, and other independent music shops, has been a slow but steady process since the advent of online shopping sites like Amazon, and digital music retailers like iTunes, Spotify and Pandora.

“How do you compete with that?”

Geffen said in one of the film’s interviews. “You know, if you could get Coca-Cola for free from your faucet, you wouldn’t buy a bottle of CocaCola.”

I completely understand how the ease, accessibility and affordability makes these kinds of services appealing and, of course, I use them, just like everyone else. But I still go to the record store when I find something I love

PLANTS

Barbara Marshall, a resident of unincorporated Douglas County, said she believes natural medicine is better received by a body.

Marshall said that her daughter, who is a nurse, recently had twins and uses a tea to help her body produce enough milk for her infants.

“I believe using plants are safer because typically organic and natural items are used,” Marshall said. “Because they are natural items and they are not manufactured in a lab, your body is going to absorb them better.”

health problems and the intended use of a plant to ensure safety.

“If you have a broken arm, you should definitely go to the hospital,” Otteson said. “There are so many ways herbs can support us in our lives, whether it is health challenges or every-day wellness. What it comes down to is people finding help that resonates with them and that they feel comfortable with.”

Dani Otteson, a community herbalist who recently opened her business, Milkweed Herbarium, poses with a milkweed plant, a plant that Otteson has a deep connection with.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: White Reaper’s “The World’s Best American Band,” released on Polyvinyl Records.

Review: If you’ve ever wondered what The Ramones would sound like if they had bands like Van Halen and Thin Lizzy as their main influences, White Reaper’s sophomore album answers that question in gloriously skuzzy fashion. This is the kind of rock album made for blasting out of car windows and need a physical copy of, or when I want recommendations.

Because even with all the algorithms and recommendations based on previous search histories, you can’t replace the people who truly, truly love music and want to share it with their customers.

“Those people knew their stuff. They were really on their ball. I mean, they just weren’t employees and they happened to work at music stores. They were devoted to music,” John said in the film. “It was inviting. It was like going to your favorite café.”

For years, I was one of those people, and I learned so much about music from the people I worked with and customers I helped. If it really is the little things in life that matter, it’s difficult to top the joy that comes with discovering a new song, album or band that moves you. There’s nothing quite like it.

As Mitchell wrote in the aforemen-

on sunny days, and you’re definitely going to want to add it to your summer rotation. This is rock as it was originally intended — loud, wild and free. The Kentucky group doesn’t quite live up to the album’s title yet, but they’re one step closer.

Favorite song: “Little Silver Cross” Best song to kick off your summer playlist: “The World’s Best American Band” tioned song, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone,” so be sure to celebrate and patronize businesses who provide these kinds of personal services while they’re around. There aren’t many music stores left, and believe me, we need them.

But don’t take it from me — The Boss knows you should, too.

“You know, everybody in a record store is a little bit of your friend for 20 minutes or so,” Springsteen said in the documentary. “There was that family aspect of a real record store.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he will miss the Wheat Ridge Angelo’s terribly.

Science behind a story comes alive at conference

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Storytelling is the oldest form of communication.

“Everyone wants to know how to tell a good story, because stories are what we remember,” said Kate Lutz, board member of Rocky Mountain Storytelling. “And a well-told story will leave a listener wanting more and more.”

Rocky Mountain Storytelling, a nonprofit organization, is bringing its annual conference to Golden April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St. The conference will attract about 100

people, Lutz said, and will offer each person something they will enjoy — from folk tales to personal stories.

“Some will be serious, and some will be playful,” Lutz said. “And some will be a combination of the two.”

The conference dates back to the 1970s when a college professor started it at Auraria Campus in Denver. It has been at the American Mountaineering Center for about five years, Lutz said.

This year, the conference will host workshops, a storytelling concert, keynote addresses and a storytelling slam. The event is family-friendly, but it is recommended that children are at least 10 years of age, as the event

IF YOU GO

is geared to provide a fun storytelling experience for adults. The general public will especially enjoy the Friday night storytelling concert and Saturday night’s story slam, Lutz said.

The story slam on Saturday night is themed “Once Upon a time…,” and everybody is welcome to participate, Lutz said.

Friday night’s storytelling concert will feature Janice Del Negro, a storyteller and author known for traditional folk and fairy tales; and Matthew Taylor, a storyteller, actor, teacher and author who does mostly personal narrative.

“I love the science behind stories —

Rocky Mountain Storytelling’s annual conference is in Golden April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St. Tickets can be purchased separately to attend any or all of the conference’s events — Friday night Storytelling Concert, $10; Saturday all-day conference, $70-$90 per person; Saturday night Story Slam, $10; and/or a Sunday Master Class, $60 each.

The City of Englewood Utilities Department will be conducting its annual fire hydrant flushing program starting the week of April 17th at 7:00 a.m. During this week, the water mains throughout the entire City will be flushed between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.

In order to clean residue and sediments from the mains, the Water Distribution crews will be isolating sections of pipe by shutting off the valves to connecting pipes, then opening the fire hydrant on the main to full volume. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the pipe.

As the rushing water forces the minerals from the mains, it may force small amounts into the connecting service lines. Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of April 17th they may experience a flow of brown water from their taps. They should then turn on their cold water only until the taps are flowing clear.

Because of the nature of the project and the limited time available to complete it, crews will be unable to provide prior notification of their daily schedules. Residents are advised to check their cold water daily during the week of April 17th to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

‘United in Love’ concert to aid Denver Actors Fund Charity helps those in local theater world deal with medical costs

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“United in Love” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. April 30 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets cost $39/$59. Also, 100 audience members will, for an additional $25, be invited to mingle with the cast at a post-show reception.

Lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.

“These stars are returning to their roots to support the theater community from which they came,” said Eugene Ebner, who conceived an April 30 concert, “United in Love,” with actor Paul Page, of Ebner-Page Productions.

“They are examples to all of us for fulfilling their dreams while inspiring and encouraging others.”

The concert will be a benefit for the Denver Actors Fund, which was founded in 2013. The fund has provided aid for members of the area theatre community with situational medical need.

Ebner was speaking of Annaleigh Ashford, a Wheat Ridge High School graduate, who is getting rave reviews for her Broadway performance with Jake Gyllenhaal in “Sunday in the Park With George.” (Longtime theatre fans will remember a talented teenaged Ashford’s performances at Country Dinner Playhouse and elsewhere in the area.)

She will enjoy a return engagement with Eaglecrest High School graduate Andy Kelso, who costarred with

Ashford in “Kinky Boots.”

Also appearing will be Mara Davi (“Dames at Sea,” “Smash,” “A Chorus Line.”), who grew up in Highlands Ranch and performed locally.

Hosting will be Eden Lane and Steven J. Burge and the music director is veteran Highlands Ranch-based musician Mitch Samu.

Mary Louise Lee, longtime area performer and Denver first lady, will appear as will Broadway’s Jodie Langel, and local composer Denise Gentilli, singers Daniel Langhoff, Sarah Rex, Jeremy Rill, Kirsten and Willow Samu, Eugene Ebner, Randy St. Pierre, Paul Dwyer, Robert Johnson, Thaddeus Valdez, Randy St. Pierre, Clarissa Fugazzoto, Becca Fletcher, Jimmy Bruenger — and more to be announced.

Also included: the cast of “The Jerseys” and the cast of the upcoming “13 the Musical” (an all-student cast).

The Denver Actors Fund, started by former Denver Post theater critic John Moore and actor/attorney Chris Boeckx in 2013, has made $82,000 available in the past three years to local theater artists in need. It has helped with medical bills, co-payments, delivery of meals and aid in snow shoveling.

Recently, the fund has helped a young father struggling with chemotherapy, a director who had triple bypass surgery and parents of a child who died with medical and burial expenses.

This will be the biggest benefit in the organization’s history, Moore said.

Theater attendees may have notices large shoes, boots, etc. prominently displayed in theatre lobbies. They are there to gather any spare change the audience may have jingling in a pocket or purse, and everything goes into this important fund. For information or to donate, see denveractors fund.org.

as assorted nasty plots involving elimination of Rosamund. Ryan Heidenreich is her bouncy sidekick, Goat. (These two are supposed to be goofy, but I felt that they overplayed their parts in a deliberately chaotic setting.)

Also on the scene: Big Harp and Little Harp and a cranky talking head in a box. Mistaken identity is often included in the formula for a comic storyline and the scene becomes pretty confusing if one seeks a linear plotline. (Don’t bother!)

Dance numbers, with a bluegrass flavor, are choreographed by Kelly Kates and the music director is Donna Debreceni.

Enjoy this one for its colorful collection of backwoodsy characters and upbeat music.

• Science fiction fans are the target audience for Jennifer Haley’s play, set in a virtual wonderland. “The Nether” is presented as a first offering by the new Benchmark Theatre Company at the Buntport Theater (though very different from Buntport company’s witty productions).

The central set is the bedroom of an old house, in Sims/Papa’s virtual world, where people fulfill some unacceptable fantasies. Just log in and choose an identity …

Johnson is company co-founder with director Rachel Bouchard.

Papa is well-played by local actor Marc Stith, also a company member, and the clients who enter his world are Doyle (the excellent Jim Hunt) and another detective type, Woodnut (Cameron Varner). In the Nether, they meet 12-year-old Iris (talented young Ella Madison, who happily said in an aftershow talk-back, “I like to be someone else!”).

• A hot, humid Louisiana trailer park, in 1991, is a crowded home for Wanda (Kelly Uhlenhop) and Al (Robert Michael Sanders) and their four kids in “Baby Dance.” Pregnant with a fifth child she does not want, the desperate Wanda runs a newspaper ad and connects with a well-off childless couple and a lawyer who handles such matters.

The prospective mom, Rachel (Megan Van De Hey), appears to get acquainted shortly before the baby is due to arrive, and is obviously uncomfortable with the trailer trash lifestyle, although she tries to keep calm.

800 meters can be a real pain

Decades don’t dim coach’s love of game

M

Douglas County junior Lina Corrales was the winner of the 800 and 1,600 races at the April 3 Highlands Ranch Invitational. She claims it takes heart to succeed in 800-meter runs, and between races walks to stay loose and listens to music.

JIM BENTON

Race combines elements of a sprint and a distance event

Race prep includes ‘grueling’ training

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 800-meter run is not a sprint and it’s not a distance race. It’s a hybrid.

It takes speed, stamina, grit and a high threshold for pain to succeed in the 800, which is often referred to as a middle-distance race.

In short, the 800 — which is roughly half a mile — is tough, Colorado high school coaches and runners agree.

“The 800-meter run is absolutely brutal,” said Faith Christian coach Steve Urban, who was the distance coach last season for boys 5A state SEE RACE, P33

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Lance Tillman, lacrosse, sophomore, Valor Christian: The Eagles snapped a four-game losing streak with a 22-8 win over Cheyenne Mountain on April 6, and Tillman had six goals and seven assists.

Cole Blatchford, baseball, senior, Mountain Vista: He allowed four hits over seven innings and two runs while striking out nine batters in a 4-2 win

over Arvada West on April 8.

Micah Conley, track, senior, Arapahoe: He was first in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.91, won the 300 hurdles in 41.02 and ran a leg on the 4x400 relay during the City of Littleton Championships on April 7.

Sam Beecher, baseball, junior, Pondero-

sa: The right-hander pitched six innings, allowed one earned run, scattered six hits and fanned 10 batters in the Mustangs’ 5-2 triumph over Evergreen on April 8.

Maddie Etten, soccer, sophomore, SkyView Academy: She scored the game-winning goal in the 3-0 conquest of Front Range Christian on April 6.

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

arc Johnson was standing near the left-field foul line answering questions, and it didn’t take long to understand why he is still coaching baseball at Cherry Creek High School.

It’s for the love of the game.

OVERTIME On a recent afternoon, he stopped several times as the Bruins were starting practice to stress to pitchers the importance of throwing strikes, to tutor outfielders on drop steps and to remind a shortstop on knowing the arm strength of outfielders.

Jim Benton “I still love working with kids,” he said. “They are fun to work with and they still listen. They try hard.”

Johnson, 72, is in his 45th season as head baseball coach at Creek. He also served for 23 as boys soccer coach.

He is on a Colorado coaching longevity list that includes Denver East and Machebeuf football legend Pat Panek (52 years), Denver Christian basketball coach Dick Katte (48 years), Dove Creek football coach Kenneth Soper (46 years), Heritage and Columbine wrestling mentor Ray Barron (46 years) and Eaton baseball coach Jim Dantley (46 years), who is now an assistant at Littleton. Only Barron and Johnson are active head coaches.

“I’ve been very blessed having the community and administration we have,” Johnson said.

Johnson went into this season with 751 coaching victories, so the success ratio works in his favor. The Bruins have captured eight state championships, been the runner-up five times, a final four team in 22 springs and have earned 29 league titles.

“There are obviously a lot better players today,” Johnson said. “They’re stronger, bigger and faster. Sometimes the baseball IQ isn’t any better. We work every day on baseball IQ stuff.

“Obviously the first state championship in 1983 was memorable. That 1995-96 team when we started that run of five straight state championships was a huge time. That was our heyday.”

Filling out lineup cards, strolling to the mound and prepping fields after unpredictable spring storms will continue to be part of Johnson’s life.

“I’ve always said this: As soon as the kids don’t relate any more and as soon as the kids aren’t happy, I’ll know its time,” he said. “I’m not going to go anywhere until I feel it is time or the school says it’s time. I still absolutely love it.

“For me, I don’t golf or fish because I’m so immersed in baseball. When I do give it up, I’m going to have to learn to fly fish or do something. Coaching is obviously something I love. One thing, I’ve gotten more tolerant than I was when I was younger. You kind of have to shift with the culture a little bit.”

RACE FROM PAGE 32

champion Pomona.

Kaden Lathrop, a senior at Highlands Ranch, was concise when asked what it takes to excel in the 800.

“The number one thing in running the 800 is guts,” he said. “Anyone can be in good enough shape and have the form and speed, but what it really takes to finish an 800 is some guts.”

Mountain Vista junior Caden Foster, a friend and rival of Lathrop, sometimes feels wiggly at the finish.

“It’s a weird race,” he said. “The first half, you feel good, but it hits you immediately after the first lap. You think, `What am I doing, this is really hard.’ By the time you run the last 100 your legs are Jell-O.” Strategy becomes a big part of the 800, which while neither a sprint nor a distance race, combines elements of both.

“It is kind of its own category. It is more of a mental race,” said Vincent Workman, the Pomona High school 800-meter record holder and now a freshman at Colorado School of Mines. “You just can’t sit back and kick at the end like a distance race and you can’t just go all out all the time like a sprint race. It’s strategy based and mentally based.

“I broke the Pomona high school record for the 800 and that probably was the hardest race of my whole career and I’ve been running since I was 5-years-old. We started the first lap going real fast so I figured I was just going to die… We just kept going at the same speed the entire race and that’s just something that doesn’t happen in an 800 race.”

BENTON FROM PAGE 32

Top boys swimming times Mountain Vista swimming coach Rob Nasser compiles a list of the top submitted swim times and scores in the state, and several Class 4A area boys head the first of Nasser’s reports.

Ponderosa’s Blake Wilton

Madison Easton, a senior at Mountain Vista, usually likes to go out fast.

“Sometimes that’s not the best move,” Easton said. “I kind of like to go out fast and get my spot. The hardest part of an 800 is the third 200 (meters), so I push the most there and the last 200 is just give it all I’ve got.”

Like many runners, Thornton junior Stephanie Carrasco competes in multiple events. She has run the 3,200, 1,600 and 800 this season. She favors the longer races — by comparison, the 800 seems almost like a sprint event.

“I prefer the 3,200 because it’s a long-distance event,” she said. “The 800 is really tough because it’s basically sprinting for 800 meters without pace.”

Highlands Ranch coach John Padjen calls the 800 a “grueling race” that demands endurance and speed.

“And most importantly, a willingness to fight through a high level of pain,” he said.

For Douglas County junior Lina Corrales, desire plays a part in meeting the demands of the 800, no matter what race tactic is used.

“If you want to race well, you just kind of have to love it and just make sure you have your heart in it 100 percent,” Corrales said. “You just have to deal with the pain and then at the end just hope you make it the best.”

Littleton sophomore Christian Sapakoff agrees with those runners who have a love-hate relationship with the 800 meters.

“I hate it when I’m doing it but afterward I like it,” he said. “The toughest thing is just hanging in there mentally. You end up hitting kind of a wall at some point and you don’t want to run anymore, but you have to keep going.”

has the top 4A times in the 50-yard and 100 freestyle events of 21.72 seconds and 47.51 seconds. Ponderosa also has the best times in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. The Mustangs swam a 1:31.93 in the 200 and 3:18.89 in the 400.

Jack Moranetz of D’Evelyn was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:58.20. Senior Johan Staton of Standley Lake has the quickest 200 IM time of 1:58.20.
