Citizen heroes’ efforts honored Fire department hosts ceremony to recognize civilian life savers

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child.

Einar Jensen, South Metro Fire Rescue’s risk-reduction specialist, said that philosophy also applies to keeping communities safe.

Jensen, South Metro Deputy Chief Mike Dell’Orfano and close to a hundred fire department staff, police officers and community members gathered at

the South Metro headquarters in Centennial on July 6 to honor 20 people who performed admirably in extraordinary circumstances, saving lives and making the community safer in the process. South Metro’s coverage area includes Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Greenwood Village and a large portion of Centennial, among other areas.

“At South Metro Fire Rescue, we believe a community is safer when everybody recognizes their part,” Dell’Orfano said to the honorees. “All of your actions are heroic.”

Allie and Abby Waytashek don’t think of themselves as heroes, they just did what they

thought anyone in their situation would do. In January, Ally looked out her family’s window and saw three boys walking on the surface of an icy pond.

“I looked once and they were walking around, then five or something minutes later I looked again and they were in the ice,” Allie, 16, said.

She immediately called her sister Abby, who was housesitting next door, then called 911.

Abby, 22, ran to the pond to help while Allie stayed on the line with dispatcher Paul Roebuck, giving critical information on the boys’ location.

Six residents of MorningStar Assisted Living Facility in Littleton got the chance to fly in a 1942 Boeing Stearman at Centennial Airport on July 8. The trips were arranged by the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing seniors and veterans living in long-term care facilities with a dream flight in a vintage plane. The Boeing Stearman was used to train military aviators in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The residents — five men and one woman — ranged in age from 65 to 92 years old and all served in the military.

Ben Pinkelman started playing rugby when he was 13 years old and a freshman at Cherry Creek High School.

“My earliest memory is showing up to my very first practice because my mom made me,” the now 22-year-old said, “so I would quit annoying her and my siblings at home. I had no idea what I was doing.”

Eleven years later, he’s at the 2016 summer Olympic trials for the U.S. men’s rugby sevens team — a sport that has never been included in the summer Olympics, according to the Rio 2016 website.

Pinkelman “Although the 15-player version of the sport appeared at the Olympic Games between 1900 and 1924,” the site says, “Rio 2016 marks the debut of rugby sevens, a faster, shorter adaption.”

Two businesses in one: Furniture repurposed and resold Re-Nu and Blue Chair team up at South Broadway location

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sylvia Meeker was with a friend at a nearby restaurant who told her about Re-Nu/Blue Chair. So she decided to check out the Englewood store and found herself amazed.

“I think the quality of the items, plus the special touches on refurbished items are very special,” said Meeker, who lives in Littleton. “I also was impressed by the fact so many artists’ works are on display here ... This is really a special place.”

She will certainly be back, Meeker said, to buy an item or two.

Re-Nu/Blue Chair, at 3473 S. Broadway, held an open house July 9 for customers, residents and visitors to learn about the store’s concept, Blue Chair owner Jim Thomas said.

The store is actually a composite of two businesses: Re-Nu bills itself as an upscale, resale non-profit store of retail furniture and decorating items. Blue Chair specializes in refinishing furniture as well as creating custom items.

When Blue Chair had to move from its previous location a few doors down the street, Thomas teamed up with Re-Nu. “They have a huge supply of really nice items for sale here,” he said, as he stained some panels. “I repair and refinish furniture for them. I still do my repurposing work and I offer my items for sale in the store ... In everything we do, we try to repurpose as many things as we can and not waste anything doing the job. For example, we recycle pallet wood and we try to be creative with items we find, like making a coffee table out of a door.”

The array of new, recycled and repurposed furniture occupies most vacant floor space on the main floor and the balcony. The walls have been transformed into an art gallery with works of about 50 artists on display.

Lara Oliver shows how she created the paintings to turn a piece of used furniture into artwork. Her items are among the artworks and furniture on display at the Re-Nu/Blue Chair store at 3473 S. Broadway. Photo by Tom Munds The walls-turned-gallery is one of the two more important aspects to the location, Thomas said.

“This store provides a place where local artists can display their works for people to see and enjoy. Most of the works have price tags attached and are for sale,” he said. “Also, the basement is a studio area where artists can work, and it is also where we will continue to offer a variety of classes ranging from artistic techniques to how to repair furniture.”

Lara Oliver was one of the artists with items on display during the open house.

“I call myself an artistic furniture flipper,” she said with a smile. “I take a piece of furniture and give it new character. I like my work to have shine, some transparent glass, decorative art and a good base coat. Of course, every item is an original and, even if someone asks, I can put the love I put into the original into doing the art a second time.”

‘Doers’ aim to keep on doing Elite group The 40 and 8 keeps the faith for veterans

By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com After World War I, 16 members of the American Legion’s leadership decided to start an special branch of the organization to recognize their added level of service on the home front and provide a unique opportunity for camaraderie. The group culled members from the committees and governing bodies that comprised the Legion’s leadership, and in 1920, “La Societe des Quarente Hommes et Huit Chevaux” — the Society of Forty Men and Eight Horses — was born.

The name has since been shortened, but not the list of the group’s accomplishments and responsibilities.

“We’re the doers,” said Thomas Yagley, Chef de Gare of The 40 and 8. “When someone’s considered, they understand you continue in your current activity, then get ready for more work. There’s always another committee.”

Members — some of whom are from the south metro area — are selected by invitation only. Yagley’s title, loosely translated as “chief,” represents one of the unique traits of The 40 and 8, their use of French titles and descriptions.

For nearly a century The 40 and 8 has distinguished itself,

Tom Yagley, left, and Glen Stenson, right, look at photos from The 40 and 8’s early years at Voiture 97 in Denver on June 29. Yagley serves as Chef de Gare (Chief) and Stenson is the Commissar Entendent (Treasurer) of the local chapter. Photo by Tom Skelley providing service to the community at large and support to survivors of the United States’ armed conflicts around the globe. But declining membership may be the biggest battle facing the 40 and 8 today.

The group meets locally at Voiture 97 on Yale Avenue at I-25. “Voiture” translates to “wagon” or in this case, a railroad car. In its origin, the group was made up of veterans from World War I, many of whom were transported to the front lines in railroad cars bearing the mark 40/8, denoting that the car could carry either 40 soldiers or eight horses.

It was a common, uncomfortable memory the men could all

relate to, providing a foundation for fraternity.

“The magic word is ‘relationships,’” Yagley said. “After that, respect, honesty, integrity all fall into place.”

Another defining characteristic of the group is that membership is granted by invitation only, unlike groups like the American Legion with a waiting list of applicants.

“We watch what they do, if they’re a leader in the community,” said Glen Stenson, Voiture 97’s Commissar Entendent (treasurer). “One of our problems is that we’re too interested in people who can help us cook,” he adds with a chuckle.

Family Owned, Family Run

Projects and campaigns the group has championed over the years include a vaccination project to combat childhood diphtheria in 1932, a nurses’ training program currently in its 60th year and sending $881,000 in relief supplies to New York City after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

The 40 and 8 continues to work as advocates for veterans, designing programs to provide emotional, financial and educational support for veterans and their families, such as hospital visits, scholarships and monetary assistance. Members of the 40 and 8 provide scholarships for family members of prisoners of war and visit elementary schools to teach children about history from the perspective of those who lived it.

“I’m proud of our service,” Stenson said. “I’m proud of our color guard, I’m proud of our group here… and I’m proud of the Lawman of the Year and Hero of the Year,” he said, referring to two of The 40 and 8’s annual community awards.

Service is a hallmark of the group, but another vital function is the camaraderie the group’s founders envisioned for members.

“It’s our close relationship with one another,” said Stenson, 90. “We’re a pretty tight group. We all recognize what the other guy does.”

As the members of The 40 and 8 grow older and natural causes force a decline in membership, those close relation-

ships are at risk of being lost.

The group’s constitution has been amended several times, most recently in 2008, to include any veteran or active duty service member, regardless of membership in the American Legion. The change, members hoped, would ultimately increase membership in The 40 and 8 and infuse the group with some new blood.

“All groups are reaching a point of criticality, the Elks, the Masons, everybody,” said Yagley, 65. “I’m one of the young guns.”

Membership nationally stands at 25,455 members, a substantial number, but almost 1,300 fewer than it was just last year. After World War II, the Denver Voiture alone boasted more than 400 members. Total membership statewide stands at just 124 today.

“One of our big problems is publicity,” Yagley said.

“If the American Legion and the Sons of the American Legion can do well, then it’ll help The 40 and 8,” he added with a hint of optimism. “There are 30-year-olds joining the American Legion again. It’s a time of transition.”

“There’s pictures where downtown is packed full of American Legion and 40 and 8 members,” Stenson said, pointing to framed black-and-white pictures on the walls of the largely empty room. He turns his gaze and gestures around the hall.

“You can see what the years of attrition have done,” he said.

Local firefighters help battle Cold Springs blaze Members of South Metro, Littleton departments among those sent to Nederland area

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of the Southeast Metro Strike Team helped the Boulder Office of Emergency Management battle the Cold Springs Fire near Nederland over the weekend.

The team is composed of firefighters from South Metro Fire Rescue, the Aurora Fire Department, Littleton Fire Rescue and Sable Altura Fire Rescue, which serves areas east of Aurora.

“The strike teams are there to fill the gap between the initial attack and when the federal group arrives,” said Eric

Hurst, spokesman for the South Metro Fire Rescue. “They fill that space when things are escalating.”

A team of six firefighters assembled near 7 p.m. on July 9 near Hampden Avenue and I-25, then deployed to the Nederland area to fight the blaze. At the time of the call for assistance, Hurst said the fire had spread across roughly 200 acres.

After working through the night, they were relieved by six other members of the team the morning of July 10. The original six members then returned to the scene that afternoon to assist further until federal coordinators relieved them.

The Cold Springs fire began July 8.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two suspects from Alabama, Jimmy Andrew Suggs, 28, and Zackary Ryan Kuykendall, 26, who face felony

It was the only 911 call made to report the incident.

While waiting for emergency teams to arrive, Abby talked with one of the boys clinging to the ice to stay above the water, and as a result he survived.

When Parker Police Officer Trey Biles arrived on scene, Abby gave Biles and other responders the last seen location of the other two boys, who ultimately died as a result of their injuries.

“It probably would not have had the outcome that it did if it weren’t for them calling,” said lead dispatcher Becki Mullen, who nominated the girls for the award. Mullen said Allie and Abby’s quick thinking and teamwork made the difference for the survivor as well as giving the other two boys the best possible chance for survival.

Still, both girls shrug off the accolades.

“It’s definitely rewarding,” Abby said. “When we first got the letter I was kind of upset, because I didn’t want to be acknowledged in that way, just because I thought it’s what everyone should do.”

charges of fourth-degree arson. Bond was set Monday for Suggs at $150,000 and Kuykendall at $200,000.

As of July 11, the fire had spread to more than 530 acres and was 0 percent contained.

The multiunit strike team is part of a State Mutual Aid Agreement that orders area emergency responders to provide assistance free of charge to local agencies for up to 12 hours. After that period, a federal incident management team takes over, coordinating regional forces and using federal funds.

Hurst said that as of July 15, South Metro Fire Rescue will have one engine and three to four staff listed in a database with the National Forest Service to be called upon as needed. The truck will be available for up to 14 days and costs will be reimbursed by the National

Forest Service. With a slew of recent wildfires and fire season just beginning, Hurst said there is no telling where the engine could ultimately be used.

“We’ve had them wind up in California before,” Hurst said.

Hurst recommended anyone planning to go camping check the National Forest Service’s website for recommendations and restrictions first. He also stressed the need for campers to make sure fires are fully extinguished, meaning they are cold to the touch and no smoldering embers remain.

“Especially when you have a recreational fire, please call the fire department first. A, so we know about it in case a neighbor sees it and calls us, and B, so we can alert you to be aware of any restrictions that may be in place,” Hurst said.

Taking a look at those who were recognized Eric Hurst, public information officer for South Metro, said no one knows how they’ll react when an emergency occurs right in front of them, but the Waytasheks and the other award recipients went above and beyond what was expected.

“Often times, you’re seeing the worst thing you may have ever seen in your life. No one knows how they’re going to react to that, and there is no right or wrong way to react,” Hurst said. “Some people have just reacted in a way that has benefitted everybody involved in the situation.”

Some of the other honorees did everything from CPR and resuscitating victims of cardiac arrest to entering a burning home to wake the occupants and lead them to safety. Others promoted safe driving at a local high school and instituted safety programs at a local hospital. One recipient saved his granddaughter from choking to death.

“A lot of times we can have people report an emergency and they don’t want to be a part of it or maybe they don’t even report it, maybe they’re just taking photos or a video and don’t even involve the emergency services,” Hurst said. “It’s good to recognize the ones who take the time to get involved and do the right thing, whether that’s calling 911 or taking it a step further.”

Tara Moore Moore was driving when she saw a woman waving frantically near Hilltop Road and Alpine Drive in Parker. She stopped to find the woman’s husband unconscious and not breathing in the back seat. Moore performed CPR on the man until emergency personnel arrived. The man didn’t survive, but Moore’s actions gave him the best chance at survival.

Both girls were credited with helping responders give the boys the best opportunity for survival.

Trey Biles Biles, a Parker police officer, was the first responder on the scene at the icy pond. He used a tree branch to pull the lone survivor to safety.

Goats graze a greener way to fire mitigation Hungry animals clear 14 acres in Castle Pines

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

This is the second year goats have been used in Castle Pines for fire mitigation. Courtesy photo

Rugby Continued from Page 1

Rugby sevens is a type of rugby in which teams consist of seven players with short, seven-minute halves versus 40-minute halves. It originated in Scotland in the 1880s and is now popular in the Americas and overseas.

The game is fast-paced and requires “incredibly high fitness standards,” said Pinkelman.

He’s spending the month of July at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, where he wakes up at 8 a.m. for

Residents in the Pine Ridge neighborhood of Castle Pines have found a greener, more unconventional solution to fire mitigation.

A herd of 300 goats was released into the community June 15 to graze14 acres in the high-risk area until June 29. This is the second year the community has used goats as a means of fire mitigation, a plan it will continue for three more years.

“Research shows after that after five treatments, the mitigation’s long lasting in an oak ecosystem,” said Einar Jensen, risk reduction specialist for South Metro Fire Rescue. “Research shows that with a single year’s treatment, the oak rebounds quickly. But after five, the oak is cut by 80 percent and that’s good for wildfire mitigation.”

intensive sessions that typically include about 4,000 to 5,000 meters of running.

Pinkelman is second-youngest of the 26 men contending for a spot on the team.

He’s the only player from Colorado.

In Mid-July he will find out if he is one of a dozen picked for Rio de Janeiro this August.

Pinkelman’s parents, Ann and Harvey, said the situation seems surreal.

The 6-foot-4-inch, slender 22-year-old was raised in Centennial with a younger sister, a brother and sister who are twins, and their parents.

Pinkelman’s siblings describe him as a competitive spirit who likes to win.

They hope their older brother makes it to the Olympics.

ANNUAL ART & ALE BREW FESTIVAL

When goats graze in the oak ecosystem, they remove lower leaves and branches, making trees less likely to catch fire.

Traditional fire mitigation uses mechanized masticators, such as a Bobcat tractor with a grinding blade. But Jensen, who is in charge of fire mitigation for South Metro, said that method treads and tears up soil, which creates conditions vulnerable to noxious weeds. Another challenge with this method is the smell of diesel fumes and the sound of diesel engines.

Another option is to do it by hand with handsaws and chainsaws, which is extremely labor intensive.

“The goats are a green solution to mitigation, so to me it seems like a better solution,” Jensen said, adding that Roxburough Park and communities in the mountains have used goats for several years.

Wyoming, Montana, Utah and California also use goats for fire mitigation.

“They are not used as much as should be, in my opinion,” Jenson said.

“I want him to sign stuff,” said his sister Kaitlyn. “So if he makes it, I can sell it on eBay and make some money.”

His youngest sister, Emma, said she brags to her friends about her brother’s success.

His parents are proud of their son, who is simultaneously taking online classes at Colorado State University and planning to graduate with a degree in sociology and a minor in history this winter.

“I’ll cry either way,” Ann said. “If he makes it — or if he doesn’t.”

Pinkelman’s earliest memories of rugby include his first varsity game playing for Cherry Creek. He reflects on that game when he’s playing in World Series matches across the globe.

“I often re-run some of the plays from that game in my head to visualize success,” he said. “Even though it was on a much smaller level, it still gives me confidence.”

But his athletic journey hasn’t been easy: “Balancing academic and rugby has been of the most difficult things,” he said.

“When I first made the U20 team to go to Hong Kong, I took an entire semester off to play in the month-long tournament.”

He’s also battled some health issues.

Pinkelman was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease his freshman year of college when he was trying out for the under 20s national rugby team.

“I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to make excuses,” he said of his symptoms, which included intense stomach cramps, lack of stamina and increased heart rate. “But I couldn’t perform with these symptoms and didn’t make the team.”

The bowel disease is caused by inflammation of the digestive tract lining, which results in abdominal pain, weight loss and malnutrition, according to a Mayo Clinic

The innovative mitigation project in Castle Pines was paid for by PineRidge Home Owners Association residents, the city of Castle Pines and a $1,000 grant South Metro Fire Rescue received from the national Ready, Set, Go! Campaign. The cost of the project was about $15,000, with a rate of $1,000 per day for the herd and start-up fees.

Although he isn’t aware of any other communities in the Front Range using goats this year, Jensen said he has been contacted by two other communities in Castle Pines and others in the district who are interested in utilizing the herd in future years.

“This could be the start of something big,” Jensen said.

Even though Colorado has seen a period of wetter and cooler climate, any day with hot temperatures and low humidity means wildfire danger goes up, Jensen said. Residents can help fire mitigation efforts in their community by hosting collection days and working together to create neighborhood mitigation plans.

Ben Pinkelman’s family sports U.S. rugby gear at their Centennial home. “Surreal” was the word they used about Ben trying out for the U.S. Eagles rugby team in the Rio 2016 Olympics. Alex DeWind online healthcare publication.

Pinkelman controls the disease with medication but still experiences occasional side effects.

He also had to have shoulder surgery 15 months ago after he tore his labrum — the tissue that keeps the shoulder joint in place. He has seven anchors in his shoulder.

Pinkelman’s goal is to make the Olympic team and pursue a gold medal. In the future, he hopes to get contracted to play in San Diego with the national rugby sevens team or with another professional rugby team.

Between then he will focus on school.

Bill Armstrong, former senator, dies at 79 Conservative politician also was a successful businessman Staff report Former U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong, a leading voice in conservative politics for decades and president of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood since 2006, died July 5 following a five-year battle with cancer. He was 79.

William L. Armstrong served in the state House (1963-64) and state Senate (1965-72), before being elected to the U.S. House (1973-78) and Senate (19791990).

“Our nation lost a great public servant, whose mark on Colorado and this country embodies the virtues of liberty, Armstrong faith and family,” U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, said in a statement released online. “His booming voice, piercing gaze and love of fellow patriots will never be forgotten.

“

When public officials leave office they often disappear and are never heard from again, but Senator Armstrong had a passion for fighting for conservative causes that started from the day when he was first elected to office in 1962 to his final days at Colorado Christian University.”

Mike Coffman, U.S. Representative

“So many people in Colorado were brought to conservative ideas and optimism through Senator Armstrong. The United States is a better place because of his grace, humility and boundless spirit.”

During his tenure in the U.S. Senate, Armstrong was a member of the finance, budget and banking committees and spent six years as chairman of the Republican

Armstrong, who was born in Fremont, Nebraska, and most recently lived in Cherry Hills Village, is survived by his wife of nearly 54 years, Ellen, two children and eight grandchildren.

In February, Armstrong announced he would be retiring as president of Colorado Christian later this year.

“The last 10 years have been an unforgettable experience for Ellen and me,” Armstrong stated in a news release posted on CCU’s website.

Gary Armstrong, chairman of the school’s board of trustees, credits Bill Armstrong with leading CCU through a period of “unprecedented growth.”

“His impact will be felt for generations,” said Armstrong, who is not related to the former senator.

“Beyond his achievements, President Armstrong’s true legacy was his focus on Jesus, and his enthusiasm for CCU and all who are a part of it.”

Before taking the post at the school, Armstrong was a longtime businessman “who owned and operated more than a dozen private companies,” according to a CCU news release.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, praised Armstrong for continuing to follow his passions.

“When public officials leave office they often disappear and are never heard from again,” Coffman wrote in an emailed statement, “but Senator Armstrong had a passion for fighting for conservative causes that started from the day when he was first elected to office in 1962 to his final days at Colorado Christian University.”

Littleton gets its first distillery Business awaiting permit before going into production

By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com Tucked away on a side street in downtown Littleton, Rocker Spirits is aiming to sell Coloradans alcoholic beverages that aren’t beer.

“I’ve always been a whiskey drinker,” said co-owner Duston Evans. “I’ve never been a beer drinker.”

Evans has owned the 4,500-square-foot warehouseturned-distillery on South Hill Street since 1997, using it for his construction businesses and to house his old

cars and trucks.

He and his lawyer, Pat Johnson, had long talked of starting a small distillery, and Johnson also knew Nick Hutch, who had been working at another distillery since 2012.

Hutch became a partner in the business and the head distiller. Rocker is currently waiting on final permitting from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and hopes to be in production next month.

Rocker will follow the model of many area breweries by drawing people to the distillery to try its products.

Rocker also plans to self-distribute to liquor stores, but will start slowly, Hutch said.

“We want to make sure we’re prepared,” he said.

Part of that slow growth means that Rocker will at first stay simple, producing a bourbon-style whiskey, a

vodka and a rum.

“Eventually we will expand our product base,” Hutch said, noting that spirits like rye whiskey and gin are currently going through a resurgence in popularity.

Hutch said that some fads in the industry may come and go, but bourbon is likely to always be a safe bet.

“Everybody’s always going to come back to it,” he said. “That’s America’s spirit.”

Positive foundation elevates spirit This is the third and final part of a series of columns that I have shared over the past three weeks looking at the power of words, the inspiration of visualization, and today we will complete the cycle as we discuss the motivation and positive energy found in shared feelings.

As a quick recap in case you missed the first two columns, we talked about the positive power and influence of maintaining a “word bank” that is filled with motivating and inspiration words. Words that we can use to lift up and encourage other people, especially those closest to us. Replacing any negative words with words like love, kindness, forgiveness, peace, purity, simplicity, gratitude and praise.

And last week the topic was the power of visualization. First, a big thank you to everyone in the community who shared their thoughts and even pictures of their own vision boards representing their goals and dreams. We can achieve what our mind’s eye sees. So there is power in placing visual reminders such as images, photos, quotes, sayings, numbers, etc. in a very prominent spot where we can keep an eye on our goals, hopes and dreams and become further inspired to pursue the paths necessary to meet and exceed each one.

Today as we close out this series I wanted to focus our thoughts around shared feelings.

We talked about shared words and a shared vision board, and now it’s time to talk about how we share our thoughts and feelings with our friends and family, and those we hold most precious in our lives.

It is so easy to take for granted that others know how we feel. Surely they must know that we love them, that we are grateful for what they have done for us, and that we appreciate

their generosity. Certainly they must know that we thoroughly enjoy their company and companionship, and respect their faith and compassion. And without a doubt, everyone must know that we are completely aware of how they feel about us.

Right? Well, maybe not Michael Norton always, but telling them more often sure could WINNING go a long way to improvWORDS ing and strengthening any relationship.

Life comes at us fast and furious sometimes. And as we fight just to keep pace with the rush and crush of the business world, politics and situations going on or brewing in our own families, we sometimes forget to share our feelings at a level that could potentially make a difference in someone’s life at that very moment. Just think about that for a minute, think about a time when you were stressed at work or going through a tough time at home, and then all of a sudden you heard someone say, “I love you,” or “Thank you for all that you do for me.” How did you feel? Probably pretty good.

We can verbalize our shared feelings, we can show them through a smile, hug, or other gesture. We can leave little notes or cards around the house or office. And we can send texts, emails, or post messages to people through social media. We can even share our feelings through emoticons or an emoji. And here’s what’s really cool, now that we have our positive word bank filled with loving and kind uplifting words and we have created a mental

image and visions of who and what we want to be, we can now express our shared feelings from a foundation of a positive outlook and attitude.

It’s easy to be influenced by something negative. But if we surround ourselves and build our base around positive affirmations, encouraging visualizations, and we can accept and share loving and grateful thoughts and feelings, we can guard our hearts and our minds against the toughest and most negative source and force in our lives.

I know it sounds idealistic or even maybe oversimplified. But I ask that you try it for a while. When someone brings up a bad or negative situation or tries to crush your spirit, have your positive words in the pockets of your mind, have the images of who you are and where you are going firmly planted in your heart, and have your spirit filled with feelings that you are willing to share and open to receiving those same feelings in return. Try this and I believe that in a very short amount of time you will begin to see yourself and the world around you in a completely different way.

So how about you? I would love to see your list of “go-to” words, pictures or thoughts about your visualized goals and dreams, and learn how you choose to share feelings in a way that can provide others with hope and encouragement. You can email me any and all of your thoughts at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we build a positive foundation of words, images, and feelings, it really will be a better than good week.

Early childhood education steers kids toward successful lives Frederick Douglass, the eminent abolitionist, author and social reformer, once said that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

For me, that Mike Johnston explains why we must expand GUEST young Coloradans’ access to COLUMN early childhood education. It is the most effective way to put kids on a path to success — and avoid expensive solutions later in life.

As a former high school teacher and principal, I saw firsthand how a lack of high-quality early education impacted many of my students.

I have seen many truant students during my career. It may be easy to label them as lazy or underachievers, but I’ve realized that many of them actually love their coursework and can talk to you about their interests in the class. It’s their lack of literacy skills that doesn’t allow them to fully engage in their education.

In fact, by age 3, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than welloff children. It’s no wonder that children in need tend to start school developmentally far behind their peers.

Reading failure turns curious elementary students into failing middle school students and then high school dropouts.

Here’s notation to skip motivation I am skeptical of many things. You may have noticed.

The headline said, “Motivational speaker Robbins’ coal walk burns more than 30.”

I nearly laughed out loud, and I don’t laugh out loud.

Tony Robbins, speaking to nearly 7,000, encouraged his audience to walk across coals as a way of conquering fears.

When I want to conquer fears, I have another burrito. There are a number of differing reports about what actually happened.

You know how I feel about the ubiquity of cell phones.

I chuckled at, “Some people were not concentrating on walking across the coals because they were taking selfies and asking others to take videos of them.”

What do people do with all of the photographs that they take of everything under the sun?

I was giving a painting demonstration and a woman asked if she could take pictures.

I said, “Why?”

She didn’t have an answer.

I think she thought that she was supposed to record everything that she saw every day.

There was a New Yorker cartoon of a woman who told her husband to look at her phone to see the Craig Marshall Smith thing that they were looking at.

QUIET One man who DESPERATION experienced seconddegree burns said, “In hindsight, jumping off would have been a fantastic idea.”

That sounds like a metaphor for a lot of things.

Colorado leaders react to Dallas police slayings Staff report Colorado law enforcement agencies and elected officials offered their support for Dallas police and called for unity the morning after five officers were killed and seven others were wounded during a protest in the nation’s ninth-largest city.

As of July 11, Dallas police believe the shootings were carried out by a gunman — later killed by police —who shot the officers the night of July 7 during a protest over police shootings of black men earlier in the week in Minnesota and Louisiana. Four of the slain officers were with the Dallas Police Department and one was with Dallas Area Rapid Transit.

Here are some of the statements by Colorado and local leaders: “Our hearts break for our fellow officers and our thoughts and prayers are with the Dallas police officers and their families. Police place their lives on the line each day to ensure communities are safe and secure.

But students who attend high-quality early learning programs, like pre-K, enter kindergarten ready to learn. And that will have positive implications for the rest of their lives.

Research has shown that the type of environment and the quality of interaction to which children are exposed in the first five years of life greatly influence the outcomes of their adult lives.

That’s because by age 5, a child’s brain is almost completely developed — yet two out of five American kids are not enrolled in preschool. Many never catch up.

And the consequences are significant and long-lasting.

If we invest today in setting a strong intellectual, cognitive and emotional foundation for children before they reach age 5, we can significantly raise the odds they will stay in and perform well in school, avoid teenage pregnancy, keep away from drug-related and violent crimes and, more generally, contribute to making our communities more livable and prosperous.

My three children are fortunate

Madoff this morning.”

There’s a motivational industry, and there are people who need a good goose now and then.

The two often meet, sometimes in remote locations, like Jonestown and rural Waco.

Have you heard about James Arthur Ray and his sweat lodges?

Ray is a motivational speaker. He was convicted of felony negligent homicide.

Everyone’s favorite motivational speaker is Matt Foley. Foley lives in a van down by the river.

Foley was one of Chris Farley’s fictional characters.

I am my own motivational speaker, and I owe it to my father.

My father got up every day of his life and went to work.

When we moved to southern California, he drove from Fullerton to Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. On a good day, it took an hour both ways.

When we lived in Ohio, it was more of the same.

He left for Middletown before I got up to go to school. It took him about 45 minutes both ways.

If I didn’t have his example, who knows?

“We are honored to serve in this noble profession. Every moment of every day Castle Rock Police officers’ mission is to protect, serve and to earn a high level of trust with the community. These are challenging times for law enforcement. Now more than ever, it is important for Castle Rock Police to provide leadership and reassurance to our community. We are fortunate to serve in a community that is very supportive of law enforcement.

— Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley “The attack in Dallas is tragic and horrifying. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen officers, those who were injured and the entire Dallas community. Just as individuals and families should feel safe in their communities and have the freedom to exercise the right to free speech, law enforcement officials should not fear for their lives as they serve and protect our communities.

“It is more important than ever that we work to overcome the divisiveness

because we were able to enroll them in high-quality early learning programs.

But many kids here in Colorado are not so lucky — and it varies from district to district.

In Denver, where voters elected to tax themselves to provide preschool, all families with 4-year-olds choose from more than 250 high-quality programs, and tuition assistance is available. But in other counties, options are far more limited.

Funding is a large hurdle in this debate, but investing in early childhood education results in greater success in K-12, better health outcomes and more resilient communities. And the students aren’t the only ones who will benefit.

This makes economic sense.

A comprehensive, national early childhood education program would add $2 trillion to the annual GDP within a generation, according to the Brookings Institution.

And according to James Heckman, an American economist and Nobel laureate, for every dollar we invest in highquality early learning, we get $7 back in avoiding costly interventions. This would positively impact our state’s bottom line.

For these reasons, I have been fighting to provide robust funding for early learning programs in Colorado, and

Maybe I would have attended a seminar or a retreat.

We’re all different. Some of us need big banquets of guidance, exhortation and, well, preaching.

I was a good student. I listened and I did my homework.

Those days are over. Keep Knute Rockne away from me.

I would have to be strapped down and forced to listen to someone who thought he or she had all of the answers, and charged big dollars for it.

Sweat lodges are an important part of Native American culture. It’s when something that is culturally borne gets mismanaged by others that problems arise.

Firewalking dates back to 1200 BC. When there was no such thing as selfies.

I have read about people who take selfies in national parks, next to a grizzly bear or two, and wind up being an entrée.

Currently a “Diamond” level of commitment at a three-and-a-half-day Tony Robbins “Unleash the Power Within” seminar is $2,395.

At the start of each day, there are “warm-up” dancers.

and violence in this country. We must come together as one community and one nation to prevent future loss of life and heal from these devastating events.”

— U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden “I’m horrified by the deadly events of this week. No one should ever be targeted because of the color of their skin, or the color blue of a police uniform. I join the nation in grieving for the loss of life that’s sent shockwaves throughout our communities this week, and I pray that we can unite and show the world that good ultimately overcomes evil and peace will prevail.”

— U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colorado “On behalf of the Parker Police Department, we express our solemn heartfelt prayers and sympathy to the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority, their family members and the community they serve. This act of violence and attack on law enforcement has hit the very core of this nation. We extend our condolences

across the nation.

We must find a way to give more kids the chance to a strong start in life. It all starts with a high-quality early childhood education.

This is a fight that we must undertake throughout Colorado. That’s why I was so honored to speak recently in Washington, D.C., at the Advocacy Summit, hosted by Save the Children Action Network (SCAN), where advocates from around the country gathered to learn how to be champions for kids.

SCAN is a bipartisan organization that is doing great work around the country on early childhood education.

Working with organizations like this and with local providers and officials, we can increase access to early learning programs in every state.

to all affected, as we mourn the loss of five officers.”

— Parker Police Chief David King

“This is a complete tragedy what happened in Dallas, Texas. The loss of five police officers from the Dallas Police Department and (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) is absolutely devastating. We stand with them in unity. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this tragedy.”

—Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock

“Ambush of police during peaceful protest is shocking, on top of earlier tragedies this week. So many shootings; our communities must heal.”

— U.S. Rep. Dianna DeGette, D-Denver (via Twitter) “America’s Thin Blue Line was penetrated by evil last night. Now we heal together. Prayers for Dallas.”

— Colorado State Patrol (via Twitter)

The event’s attendees met with nearly 100 congressional offices to urge them to invest in key kids programs by asking them to sponsor Social Impact Partnership Act, which authorizes the use of a public-private partnership program called Pay for Success. This would help fund early learning programs around the country.

I was inspired to meet these incredible advocates and look forward to seeing their progress in the weeks and months ahead. I know they will not give up because they understand that investing in early childhood education makes kids more successful — and all of us reap the benefits for generations to come.

Cricket builds lasting bonds Expats in Denver area keep cultural ties through sport

J

ay Pathak takes the crease for batting practice at Cornerstone Park.

He taps the ground with his bat to gain his rhythm and stares down the pitch.

Pathak leans forward, drops to one knee and smacks the bouncing ball away with an elegant strike. His skills are polished, the result of years of practice.

His team, the Littleton Cricket Club, play on a synthetic pitch — a concrete rectangle covered in artificial turf. In the Denver metro area, this surface on South Windermere Street on the Littleton-Englewood border is about as close as it gets to a proper wicket.

For many many expatriates from cricket-playing nations living in the Denver area, the sport connects them to their families and traditions while fostering a sense of community in their new home.

Pathak, 21, was born in India and grew up in New Zealand before moving to the United States with his family at the age of 15.

He spent his childhood playing on well-maintained grounds. A traditional wicket — the hard 22-yard batting and running surface in the middle of a cricket field with stumps on either end — is made of manicured grass that has been trimmed and compacted so that it is hard, allowing the ball to bounce.

Growing the game

Haram Patel, 26, began playing with the Littleton Cricket Club when he was 13 years old. His father played cricket in Mumbai, India.

“In India, I used to get private lessons,” said Pathak, who moved to New Zealand at the age of 6. “I learned how to bat and bowl. The basics of the game.”

In New Zealand, he began playing competitively for the local club and spent hours practicing his batting in nets he set up in his backyard.

“My dad was very enthusiastic about cricket. He used to give me three or four hours of practice every day to try and help me,” Pathak said.

He now lives and works in Denver and is a hopeful for the U.S. national team.

“I have toured Sri Lanka. I’ve toured India with the U.S. team.

So, I’m working my way up trying to get into the national team again,” Pathak said. “It’s pretty special.”

In addition to playing the game themselves, cricketers in the Denver metro area are also focused on growing the game locally.

In the last year, representatives from the Colorado Cricket League have visited Pioneer Elementary and Cimarron Middle schools in Parker as well as schools and youth programs in the Cherry Creek School District and in Fort Collins to show the sport to local kids.

“We have been trying to reach out to schools to introduce cricket,” said CCL president Suresh Talatoti.

“We are also hoping to make it happen quickly with the International Cricket Council (cricket’s governing body) coming to Colorado Springs soon and with the idea of (expanding) youth cricket development with their help.”

The ICC Americas office had been located in Toronto, but officials announced in April that they would be moving to Colorado Springs. There are plans to build an international-level cricket facility either there or in Denver.

Talatoti said most of the kids had not been exposed to the sport before.

“It’s always hard to introduce a new thing to anyone or in any country — particularly in the USA where everything is well established with other sports,” he said.

Haram Patel, 26, grew up playing cricket in the Denver area and said he has seen the sport grow in the area over the last decade with added exposure from the internet and more expats moving to the area.

However, he said the goal is to get more American kids to pick up the sport at a young age. Patel compared cricket to baseball and said many of the same skills would translate for kids who are interested in trying something new.

“In school you learn kickball, you learn pickleball, you learn everything, why not cricket?” said Patel. “It’s the second most watched and followed sport in the world (behind soccer). I think that stat in and of itself should be a reason why you should teach kids how to play.”

CRICKET TERMS Batsman: Two players at a time bat for a team at each end of the wicket. When a batter is dismissed — or makes an “out,” as would be the case in baseball — the next player in the batting lineup takes their place.

Bowler: The person who delivers the ball — similar to a pitcher in baseball — for the batter to hit.

Bails: The two small pieces of wood that lie on top of the stumps.

Ball: The round object that the batsman attempts to strike.

Boundary: The perimeter of a cricket field. If a batsman hits the ball to, but not over, the boundary it counts for four points. If the ball goes over the boundary, it counts for six.

is doing, what the batsman is doing, then you will find it very interesting.”

While a player may walk up to bat with plans on making runs all day, he also may be bowled out on his very first ball.

“If you’re an opening batsman and you get out on the first ball of the day, you’re sitting there for the rest of the (game) feeling like you didn’t do you job for the team,” Patel said. “It can get to you if you get out on the first ball because you don’t have a redemption until the next match.”

Continued from Page 12

Haram Patel, 26, grew up in the Denver metro area and has been playing competitively with the Littleton Cricket Club since he was 13.

Patel split his time between high school baseball and cricket before eventually moving to England to play cricket for Durham University, where he earned his undergraduate degree.

“My parents are both from India. My dad is from Mumbai. My dad actually played at a high level in Mumbai,” Patel said. “So it’s in my blood.”

Bodhayan Chakraborty moved to Denver from India in 2009. He spent a year without the sport before a friend told him about cricket in Colorado.

He is now the captain of the Little Cricket Club, playing with teammates Pathak and Patel.

“In our part of the world — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka—we grew up playing cricket. From our childhood we start playing and it is just like football over here,” Chakraborty said. “We just love playing cricket.”

Cricket in Colorado The Littleton Cricket club draws players from around the metro area and is one of eight top-division teams in the Colorado Cricket League, which was founded in 1985.

Players says members join particular clubs more because of their connection with the group than location, with some driving as far as from Denver to Colorado Springs to play for a team.

The CCL has players with roots in Asia, the Middle East, Australia

Cricket balls are wrapped in leather and stitched. and the Caribbean.

Suresh Talatoti, originally from India, is the president of the CCL and a member of the Boulder Cricket Club. He said through cricket, players are able to make a community of their clubs.

“We travel together to go and play games in the Denver metro area from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs (and) Albuquerque, where we have couple of clubs that are part of CCL, ” Talatoti said.

Teams in the CCL play among themselves but also travel out of state to compete regionally and nationally. Players from Colorado also participate on state and regional teams that compete nationally.

The gentleman’s game Cricket is a bat-and-ball game with its origins in 16th-century England. It was popularized during the Victorian age and became the game of the British Empire.

It was spread to all corners of the globe with international teams in Africa, Australia, the Ca-

ribbean and the Indian subcontinent, where more than a billion people treat the sport as religion.

“Cricket is called a gentleman’s game, and in my opinion, no other sport compares in terms of the number of skills displayed and the blend of quality, entertainment, sudden thrill and sustained intellectual interest,” Talatoti said Cricket can be confusing.

There are 11 players per side, scores run into the hundreds and games can last from a couple hours to several days.

Chakraborty said once you understand the game, you will fall in love with it.

Long stretches of monotony can be punctuated by moments of exhilaration as the drama and tension builds over time.

“I didn’t know about American football. I thought ‘this is just pushing and pulling and that kind of game.’ I didn’t know the rules.

Once I knew the rules, I found it very interesting. Cricket is the same,” he said. “If you know the rules, if you know what the bowler

A family affair On a recent Wednesday, the Littleton Cricket Club was preparing for a rivalry game with the local Colorado Cross Bats Cricket Club, which practices at a new ground in Green Valley Ranch near Denver International Airport.

“Our families come. Our friends come. It’s obviously not crowded like the football games, but we have found some supporters here who come and cheer us on,” Chakraborty said.

The cricket community is building. It’s a place to connect with family, friends and places far away from Colorado. While its advocates try to convert more locals to the sport, there is a group of Coloradans born with roots in the sport.

“I’m definitely going to have the option of cricket there for my kids. I’m sure a lot of these guys, once they have children, will think the same,” Patel said. “The kids are always going to take up something that is going to be watched and followed within the house, so if you’re in an American house, baseball, basketball, football are what is watched. Cricket is what is watched in our houses.”

Century: When a batsman scores 100 runs in a match.

Crease: One of several lines on the pitch near the stumps where the batter stands.

Dismissal: To get one of the batsmen out. A batsman is out if he allows the ball to hit the stumps and knock off the bail, is hit with the ball or if one of the fielders catches the ball. He also can be put out if a fielder knocks the bail off a stump before the batter safely reaches the opposite end of the wicket.

Duck: A score of 0 for a batsman.

Innings: One player or one team’s turn to bat or bowl.

Over: The delivery of six consecutive legal balls by one bowler. Games typically are measured in terms of the number of overs, often of 20, 40 or 50.

Wicket: The 22 yards between the stumps. Can also be used when a batter is dismissed.

Example: The batter has lost his wicket.

Wicket-keeper: The player on the fielding side who stands immediately behind the batting end wicket whose job it is to catch balls that are missed or tipped by the batsman — similar to a catcher in baseball. The wicket-keeper is the only player in the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg guards.

Stumps: A set of stumps sits on each end of the wicket.

The act of hitting the stumps results in the dismissal of the batsman.

HOOTENANNY A REAL HUMDINGER

Temperatures neared 100 degrees, but thousands of people still attended Breckenridge Brewery’s 26th annual Hootenanny celebration on July 9, the second one held at its Littleton location. Photos by Kyle Harding

Staff report Breckenridge Brewery celebrated its 26th anniversary on July 9 with its Hootenanny, drawing more than 4,000 people to its Littleton location.

Breckenridge marketing director Todd Thibault said the brewery calls it the “Hootenanny” to set it apart from the many other breweries that celebrate anniversaries.

“To me, ‘anniversary’ sounds like I’m going to my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary,” he said.

The Hootenanny draws thousands from around the Front Range to celebrate with beer, food and music.

Local favorite Big Head Todd and the Monsters, made up of Columbine High School graduates, headlined this year. Other bands included soul stars Robert Randolph and the Family Band and bluegrass ensemble Larry and Jenny Keel, joined by members of Leftover Salmon.

Diversity of sports offers advantages

Diamonds don’t stay idle Competitive baseball programs in full swing throughout the summer

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Schools are closed, but school baseball diamonds are kept busy by teams made up of hundreds of young athletes playing in summer programs.

Some programs are recreational level while others are more competitive. An example was the June 28 Cherry Creek-Slammers U18 game played on the Cherry Creek High School diamond.

It was a Connie Mack League game. Connie Mack is for players 18 years old and younger, so most teams are made up of athletes who will be juniors and seniors when school starts or athletes who graduated earlier this year.

Cherry Creek athletes who are candidates to be on the varsity or junior varsity teams in the spring made up the majority of the Bruins roster while the

Slammers roster included players from eight or nine high schools.

“This is our Connie Mack team,” Cherry Creek Coach Marc Johnson said.

“We are a very young team.

Three of our players graduated earlier this year while the rest will be juniors and seniors at Cherry Creek in the fall. Most of the younger guys were with the varsity this spring.”

Johnson said his team is busy and currently has compiled a 22-11-1 record since the end of May. The coach said summer baseball is important to those athletes who want to improve their skills.

“The summer baseball program is a chance to get a lot of experience and play a lot of innings and experience and helps develop and improve baseball skills,” he said. “We will play 50 to 60 games this summer. That schedule provides a chance for players to see a lot of pitching, to get in a lot of at-bats and to get a lot of experience playing their position. It is an excellent development program for the young baseball players.”

He said his team plays

most of its games against area opponents. But the team does travel and the Bruins left June 30 to play in the Firecracker Tournament in the Los Angeles area. Johnson said that tournament is a break from the area, a chance to see and play against a lot of quality opposition, plus the trip is a treat for the kids.

Tanner O’Tremba is one of Cherry Creek’s graduated seniors who will attend and play baseball for a junior college in California.

“I started out playing infield positions, but when I got to high school, the coaches decided I had a strong arm and I was pretty quick so I would benefit the team playing one of the outfield positions,” he said. “I also pitch and I like that too. But I like being in the outfield because that is what I do best and, as an outfielder, I get to bat.”

Across the diamond, Scott Bauer coached the Slammers team.

“We are sort of an allstar team. We have kids from a lot of different high schools and all of them graduated earlier this year,” the coach said. “Many of the kids on this team

have been with the Slammers summer program for years.”

Slammers has an indoor training facility in Centennial. They have a long list of highly qualified coaches that work with teams and also give private instruction.

Cade Grossman, a Highlands Ranch High School graduate, plays for the Slammers Connie Mack team.

“Baseball is my sport, I have played first base for a long time and I love the position,” he said. “Playing first, I got the feel for the position and I really feel comfortable being there. I like it because you see the whole field plus as the first baseman I am kept busy because I am involved in a lot of the plays.”

He said being with his teammates is one of the reason he loves baseball and he said he also love the sport because it is a lot of fun.

Neither team won the June 28 game because the score was tied 3-3 in the ninth inning when Mother Nature closed it down with a storm containing heavy rain and lightning.

U.S. Lacrosse honors 19 Coloradans Staff report U.S. Lacrosse announced its 2016 boys and girls U.S. Lacrosse High School All-American and All-Academic teams, and seven girls and 12 boys from Colorado were selected.

The players that were honored exhibited excellent lacrosse skills and high academic standards.

The following are the Colorado AllAmerican players, their high school and where they are attending college.

It’s summer, and high school sports are in a timeout.

So it’s a good time for a debate, discussion, examination, argument or whatever you want to call it.

The internet is filled these days with the pros and cons of sport specialization, where athletes pick one sport and spend almost all year participating in a single sport.

Multi-sport athletes are starting to dwindle even before athletes get into high school.

Jim Benton Many studies and people have surfaced OVERTIME who oppose sport specialization. Houston’s defensive end J.J. Watt, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Cubs manager Joe Maddon and former college and professional football coach Steve Spurrier are among the people who have recently expressed their opinions that it’s good for young athletes to play several sports.

I’m an advocate of diversity.

Youngsters and high school athletes participating in more than one sport use different muscles, which can reduce the injury rate. Leadership and teamwork skills are enhanced and the ability to adjust to different situations is heightened by playing a different sport.

However, there are advantages to specialization. Improved skills, elite training, practice facility availability, better coaching and competition are some of the benefits of focusing on one sport. Clubs and parents emphasis the exposure to get possible college athletic scholarships as another advantage of playing on a club team and concentrating on one sport.

Still, some of these scholarships only cover part of the expense of attending college.

I wonder, however, if the money spent on club fees and travel, especially for an athlete who might be a fringe player on an elite team, might be better saved and used to help pay for college.

Some of the risks on specialization include overuse injuries, psychological effects of too much pressure and burnout.

Personally, I’ve seen at least two burnouts where good athletes gave up sports and never played in high school. Family vacations and even summer jobs that could be a learning tool for later in life are often missed.

According to the Washington Post, 224 of the 226 picks in the 2016 National Football League draft played more than one sport.

Girls gymnastics is a sport where athletes usually start young, but in the past two years I’ve talked to three high school divers who abandoned gymnastics because they were tired of being hurt.

So let the debate continue.

What’s in a name?

It is now official.

As previously reported by Colorado Community Media, the designations of the new, six-team 5A football conferences for the 2016 and 2017 seasons will be named after a few of Colorado’s mountain peaks.

Cherry Creek and Horizon will be among the six teams in the Mount Elbert League. Arapahoe is in the Mount Massive conference. Valor Christian along with Lakewood, Legend and Highlands Ranch will be in the Mount Lincoln League. The Mount Wilson Conference will have local teams Ralston Valley, Castle View and Arvada West.

So her reaction July 12 to being named a forward on the U.S. Women’s Olympic Soccer team for the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was no surprise to her father Horace.

“She was very excited, but kind of focused and all business,” Horace Pugh said. “When she found out, it was like OK, let’s move forward, and she just focused on performing well down in Rio.” Pugh, who graduated from Mountain Vista High School in May, becomes the second youngest American women’s soccer Olympian. She is about a month older than Cindy Parlow was during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

Parlow was 18 years, two months and three days old. Pugh will be 18 years, three months, and 13 days when the U.S. team begins Group G play against New Zealand on Aug. 3 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

“It’s been a wild ride with her making the team and doing what’s she’s been doing,” Horace Pugh said.

Pugh isn’t the only Colorado player to make the team.

Midfielder Lindsey Horan, a 2012 Golden High School graduate Horan who didn’t play high school soccer, also was named by coach Jill Ellis to the 18-player U.S. team that will play its final Olympic warmup game July 22 against Costa Rica in Kansas City.

Horan, who is expected to be a starter along with Pugh, was the first player to sign a professional contract out of high school in July, 2012.

Pugh, the only amateur on the team with the 17 other players being professionals, leads the U.S. team with seven assists this year, including one in a 3-3 tie against Japan on June 2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

Horan scored a goal in that match.

If Pugh should score a goal in the Olympics, she would be the youngest U.S. player to score in the competition since Parlow did not in 1996.

“Mal has had a fairly seamless — at least it appears that way — transition into this environment,” Ellis said after the team was announced. “She fits in well socially, the soccer piece has been very, very good and what I like about her is that she’s come in, held her own and she doesn’t get fazed or rattled.

“She’s a quality player and she’s a big part of this future, this program going forward. It’s not just bringing her in to get experience, it’s bringing in a player that can help us down there and impact the game.”

Pugh played on a variety of U.S. national teams during her career and was on the under-20 team as a 16-yearold. She didn’t play for Mountain Vista during her senior year but attended all the Golden Eagles’ games and sat on the bench.

“That’s Mallory,” said her dad. “She wasn’t able to play for (Mountain Vista) but she wanted to be there and support them because she said `those are my teammates. I played with them last year and nothing changes.’

“Believe me, it was like trying to pull the reins back. She wanted to play.

U.S. highly advised her not to play, and understandably so.”

The Americans, who have won four of the past five Olympic gold medals, will be trying to become the first team to win Women’s World Cup and Olympic titles in consecutive years.

Mallory Pugh kicks a warmup goal in preparation for the U.S. vs. Japan exhibition game in Commerce City in June.

Former Englewood High athlete heads into title bout Soderstron to do battle for SCL pro MMA heavyweight title

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Reigning Sparta Combat League Amateur Heavyweight Champion Heath Soderstrom takes the next step in his mixed martial arts career July 16 as he turns pro and battles Justin Colburn for the SCL Heavyweight Championship.

“I have been in MMA for two years as an amateur,” the 2001 Englewood High School graduate said. “I won three amateur heavyweight title bouts. Now, I make my pro debut as one of the top two contenders for the vacant heavyweight title.”

He said the step up to the pro ranks brings major changes in the bout rules.

For example, amateur bouts are three rounds of three minutes each, while in pro bouts the three rounds are each five minutes long. Also there are some strikes with knees and elbows allowed in the pro ranks that are not permitted in amateur bouts.

“This will be the toughest fight of my career against the toughest opponent I have faced,” he said “He has more pro experience, as this will be his third pro fight while this is my first pro bout. But I am focused physically and mentally so I ready to go into the ring looking for a win.”

The Soderstom-Colburn bout is one of about 15 bouts on the July 16 caged

and Rock Canyon will compete in the Mount Evans League. Legacy, Westminster and Douglas County will be among the teams in the Mount Antero group while

Heath Soderstrom, right, spars with a fellow Mixed Martial Arts competitor during a July 10 training session. Coach Vern Earwood, center, directs the training to help Soderstrom be ready for his bid to win the professional heavyweight title on July 16 at the Douglas County Events Center. Photo by Tom Munds fight card. The SCL 50 event will be held at the Douglas County Events Center.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the bell will ring for the first fight at 7 p.m. Tickets prices range from $30 to $100 and are available online at Spartacombatleague. com.

Soderstrom played football and

ThunderRidge, Mountain Range and Northglenn will play in the Mount Cameron Conference.

Monikers for the 4A leagues include the Plains League in which Golden and Heritage will compete. Standley Lake, Thornton and Wheat Ridge will be in the Mountain Conference.

Littleton will be in the Pikes Peak League and Ponderosa in the

wrestled at Englewood High School and at Adams State College. He was an All-American in wrestling and finished fourth in the collegiate wrestling nationals in his senior year.

The Parker resident said after college, he was an assistant coach at EHS but didn’t do much else.

“I got really fat, decided I didn’t like how I looked and made some major changes in how I was living,” he said.

“I started eating right and working out.

Almost three years ago my brother Kyle decided to compete in an MMA amateur bout. I trained with him. He did OK and it was his only bout but it turned out to be the start of my MMA career, as I decided if he could do it, I could do it.”

He said he accepted the invitation to Centennial’s Child’s Play Fight and Fitness gym to train and become part of the team.

“It was a big decision that changed a lot in my life,” the 34-year-old said. “I still have a job to pay the bills but my major focus is working out to get physically and mentally ready for the pro title fight.”

Soderstrom said he works out two to three hours a day, five days a week.

“We vary our workouts,” he said. “We lift weights and do a lot of endurance workouts on the mat and on our feet. We test to see how many times we can go 100 percent for five minutes. We also do a lot of running and other workouts to build the endurance to go the full bout which is three rounds of five minutes each.”

In Class 3A, Alameda, Green Mountain and Lutheran will be in the West Metro League while Holy Family will compete in the Tri-Valley circuit.

Elizabeth, Englewood and Sheridan will be in the Class 2A Colorado League while Arvada, D’Evelyn and Faith Christian will play in the Flatirons alignment.

The 270-pounder said he feels all his wrestling experience prepared him to fight in mixed martial arts. He said he has experience on take-downs and mat work, plus the quickness on his feet he developed as a wrestler is a plus as he looks to land punches and kicks.

“I prepare for fights in a very specific way,” he said. “I spend time studying my opponent, studying films of my fights while I focus on training and conditioning. I spend as much time as possible thinking and focusing on the upcoming bout.”

He agrees physical conditioning and preparation are very important, but he said mental preparation and readiness are keys to doing well in a bout.

“Every move and blow in a bout starts with the mental aspect of the sport,” Soderstrom said. “You must feel good about your body, your bout plan and be mentally focused not on the move you are making but also on what is the best next move.”

He said MMA has already taken him places he has never been before and he plans to see what the future brings.

“Being an MMA fighter isn’t a lifelong career,” he said. “Right now, I feel I am at my prime like most MMA fighters, so I want to win the title and see where that takes me. It could lead to a few good years in the sport but I just will fight to the best of my ability and see how far I can go. I am confident in my skills and abilities but unexpected things like injuries can happen. So, I give it my best effort and just see what the future brings.”

We’ll wait until at least September to have a quiz on these conference names.
