School-resource officer safeguards kids in and around Centennial All around town I was hired in 2003 and have been with the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office for 15 years. I spent my first three years working in the detention facility (jail) before becoming a patrol deputy. In 2009, I tested for the position of school-resource officer (SRO) and have been serving Centennial in that capacity for the last nine years.

After nearly eight years as the SRO for Newton Middle School in Littleton Public Schools, I now work within the Cherry Creek School District.

I currently serve 11 elementary schools, including Homestead, Dry Creek, Heritage, Walnut Hills, Willow Creek, High Plains, Cottonwood Creek, Red Hawk Ridge, Fox Hollow, Indian Ridge and Trails West.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District executive director Rob Hanna explains the rec center plans to a resident.

Residents want more ice at new rec complex South Suburban would like to increase capacity, but three sheets too costly

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District unveiled tentative plans for their new recreation complex in mid-September, which would replace the South Suburban Ice Arena and the district’s administration offices, but some residents worry the plans don’t increase capacity for ice hockey and figure skating.

The 200,000-square-foot complex at the southwest corner of County Line Road and Holly Street would feature a fieldhouse, gymnasium, offices, food court and two sheets of ice — the same number being replaced with the closure of the old ice arena, said Rob Hanna, South Suburban’s executive director. The center is expected to break ground in the spring and be completed

by December 2020.

The $50 million project would become South Suburban’s fifth recreation center, and would replace the disc golf course currently on the site. The district already owns the land.

“We looked at the cost of simply renovating the ice arena, which is now 50 years old, and discovered that it would actually be cheaper to build a new one,” Hanna said.

That’s because the current ice arena now sits over a layer of soil rendered permanently frozen by the rinks, Hanna said. The ice is causing upheaval beneath the rinks, and it’s unknown how deep the ice goes. Thawing the ice could take years, Hanna said, and simply cause more upheaval.

Members of the public have expressed concern that the new recreation center wouldn’t increase the district’s number of ice sheets, Hanna said, by replacing the ice arena’s two sheets with two sheets at the new center. Many residents are hoping for

three, he said.

South Suburban previously reached out to the Highlands Ranch Metro District for a partnership, requesting $10 million to pay for an additional sheet of ice. The metro district rejected the proposal in July, with board members saying they didn’t see the benefit to the community.

The call for more ice continues.

“I’m here to beg and grovel for a third sheet,” said Wendy Ferrelli, whose daughter is a figure skater and whose son plays hockey. “They need a place to just have fun on the ice — just to skate around after school. It doesn’t always have to be classes and lessons.”

“Our market analysis showed we could justify a third sheet,” Hanna said, “but it just comes down to cost.

We have so many priorities in the district right now. Goodson (Recreation Center) alone needs $5 million in upgrades.”

Hockey is growing in popularity, said Dirk Doty, who runs the district’s hockey programs, and the district’s leagues are nearly at capacity.

“We’re on the verge of putting folks on a waiting list,” Doty said.

Still, he said he’s excited about the new facility, because the old one is showing its age.

“Players love to tear the place up,” Doty said. “My guys are slamming into the sides, shooting pucks all over the place. Hockey’s a rough sport, you know.”

Finding time to schedule skating classes is getting more difficult, said Gerry Lane, who runs the district’s figure skating program.

“Now that the school districts are moving to these later start times, the kids get out of school later, and there are only so many hours in a day,” Lane said.

Hanna said he’d love to build three sheets of ice, and the plans could easily be modified to accommodate a third.

“Hey, if some benefactor or member of the Avalanche wants to see their name on an ice skating rink, we’ve got naming rights for sale,” Hanna said.

Future uncertain for business incubator Innovation Pavilion may move after CEO accused of sexual assault

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After shedding two CEOs in the span of about three months, Innovation Pavilion, a co-working campus geared toward startups and entrepreneurs, may move out of its headquarters in the wake of sexual assault allegations against its former CEO. Space at the building at 9200 E. Mineral Ave. in Centennial, which offers meeting, desk and office areas, is described as being for lease in online real-estate listings.

Following a lawsuit by a former employee accusing then-CEO Waqar “Vic” Ahmed of sexual assault and harassment of multiple employees of the business, Ahmed denied the claims but announced he was stepping down in a May 31 statement.

Kitty Kolding took the helm as interim CEO and then became the new CEO, according to a July 31 news release.

Over the years, Kolding partnered on several projects with Innovation Pavilion, the release said.

“The idea of creating powerful innovation programs that breathe life into the development of fully equipped innovation campuses across the country is unlike any venture I’ve seen,” Kolding said in the release. “It’s a big, bold vision, and I’m enormously proud to lead this exciting venture.”

But she resigned in August, Kolding said Sept. 17. Jameel Barkat — who was appointed chief financial officer, according to the release — remains with the company, and many other employees have resigned, to Kolding’s knowledge.

The company plans to move out of its space by the end of the month, to her knowledge, Kolding said. She did

not want to comment on her resignation.

Kerianne Leffew, whom the May 31 statement said would take over as president, no longer works with the company, according to an automatic email response.

Neil Marciniak, Centennial’s economic development manager, said the city is aware that the company’s space is up for lease but does not have more information on the company’s future operations. Mayor Stephanie Piko commented on the impact Innovation Pavilion has had in Centennial and the south metro area.

“Having a space for entrepreneurial start-ups to gather in Centennial helped set the attitude for innovation throughout the city,” Piko said.

Doug Tisdale, executive vice president of economic development at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, said Innovation Pavilion has been a strong supporter of STEM education in the south metro area and boasted other assets.

“It’s always good for the economic development of an area to have something like Innovation Pavilion around,” not only for companies or entrepreneurs that work out of there, but also for other businesses looking for talent, Tisdale said.

Questions to Barkat and other employee email addresses regarding employee resignations, whether the company plans to move and its future doing business were not returned.

Spokesman Amaan Khan did not return phone calls or emails. Ahmed did not return a call.

The company was open the afternoon of Sept. 20, when a handful of people worked in offices and other areas. A guest who has done work in the company’s spaces for the past few weeks said she usually sees anywhere from 10 to 25 people at Innovation Pavilion working or attending events.

“This is my first official experience with chalk art,” said Daniel Prust, a 26-year-old painter from Denver. I “have done chalk art before but just messing with it.”

Prust was one of dozens of artists who meticulously etched works on the lot at the park at 13050 E. Peakview Ave. over the two-day event Sept. 22-23. The Kids draw with chalk Sept. 22 at the Centennial Chalk Art Festival in Centennial Center Park.

“I had a friend who was doing (chalk art), and I thought, ‘Well, I could do that,’” said Stratton, who has worked on pieces at festivals around the Denver area and for the Aurora theater shooting memorial event in July. “I started out in my backyard.”

Prust, adding to a colorful, “freestyling” piece, said he was honored to be at the event.

“I’m excited to meet others in the art community,” Prust added.

Brewing for years The passing of Proposition 108 in 2016, which allowed voters to participate in a major party’s primary elections without officially aligning with that party, put the spotlight on undeclared voters. But they’ve been quietly gaining for years, Crane said.

“We’ve seen an uptick in unaffiliated registration since 2006 or 2007,” Crane said of the pattern in Arapahoe County. “It goes back that far, where you see people leaving both parties and going unaffiliated.”

Statewide, comparing year-by-year each August, unaffiliated active registered voters surpassed Republicans and Democrats, respectively, by 2013, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

Frustration with major parties likely plays a role, and Colorado’s state Legislature has been among the

Colorado’s status as a “purple” state often gets tossed about, and in the battle to tilt the state to Republicans’ and Democrats’ liking, unaffiliated voters are caught in a tug-of-war.

Just how mixed the electorate really is sparks debate in a state that voted for Democrats in the last three presidential elections but where support for President Donald Trump has been high among Republicans. Statewide, active registered Democrats have inched past Republicans, compared to this time two years ago. Democrats now lead with about 994,000 voters to Republicans’ 973,000, whereas the GOP held onto a 3,000-voter lead over Democrats in 2016.

But in the 2018 midterm elections, unaffiliated voters — those who don’t officially identify with a political party — are in high demand, viewed as having the potential to blur the red and blue lines.

Unaffiliateds account for roughly 1.21 million of Colorado’s active voters, or 37 percent of the total.

“When you talk to people, nobody’s quite sure what the turnout is going to be this year — that’s part of why there’s so much focus on the unaffiliated voters,” said Matt Crane, Arapahoe County’s clerk and recorder, who oversees elections there.

In a time of increasingly polarized national politics — and even a strongly divided state climate — unaffiliated

voters have grown as a group over the last decade, overtaking both major parties as the state’s largest voting bloc.

But don’t count them all as true independents, analysts say.

“I don’t think the impact of the unaffiliated voters will be huge,” said Seth Masket, a political science professor at the University of Denver.

He added: “They tend to act a lot like partisans.”

How much of a wild card the group will actually be is far from certain, but with the loudest voice in the room, unaffiliated voters are under the microscope this season.

With paint and tools, volunteers rejuvenate homes Brothers Redevelopment helps seniors age in place with upgrades to houses

dents’ homes does a lot to improve their morale, said Emilio Taltique, a volunteer with Brothers Redevelopment.

“It helps them feel better about their homes,” Taltique said. “They feel more connected to neighbors.

The volunteers are from the neighborhood, too, so it’s not just some folks who descend one day and you never see them again.”

Brothers provides a variety of services, Taltique said, including modifying homes with wheelchair ramps and other devices to help the elderly stay in their homes longer.

“We know people stay healthier, live longer, and are happier when they’re able to stay in their own homes, and even small things can really facilitate that,” Taltique said.

One of the barriers to projects like painting Ventrella’s home, Taltique said, is that older residents may think the group is a scam when they come knocking with an offer to paint the home for free.

“I assure you, we’re the real deal,” Taltique said.

The volunteers got something out of the deal too, said Katie Lunde, a spokesperson for Merage: the joy of giving back.

“The best part for me was when Ms. Ventrella stepped outside, and her face just lit up as she told us how beautiful it all looked,” Lunde said.

Ventrella, 89, was one of the dozens of recipients of home upgrade projects this year arranged by Brothers Redevelopment, a housingfocused nonprofit. Nearly 40 volunteers from Consolidated Investment Group and the Merage Foundations mobbed Ventrella’s home on two mornings in September, painting the house and carport and trimming overgrown cottonwoods hanging over the roof.

“It just does my heart good to see this old place looking so fresh again,” Ventrella said, surveying the crew’s work. “Not only that, but it’s just good having these folks here.

They’re all so nice.”

Lawsuit develops The lawsuit against Ahmed was filed in Denver District Court in late May

by Suzy Gutierrez, who worked for the company for nearly five years before resigning in June 2017, according to the legal complaint.

The complaint alleges incidents ranging from Ahmed suggesting that employees participate in sexual acts to Gutierrez experiencing several incidents of groping.

“I had consensual relationships with co-workers,” Ahmed wrote in his May 31 statement. The “civil charges that have been brought against me that imply coercion (and) harassment, particularly sexual, however, are categorically false.”

The attorneys for Ahmed and Innovation Pavilion, which is also named as a defendant in the suit, filed a motion Sept. 4 to withdraw from representing the defendants. If the court grants that motion, future proceedings in the case would still occur, the filing said.

Innovation Pavilion, founded in 2011, established what its website called a “robust entrepreneurial ecosystem” that aims to offer access to funding, event space and “in-depth expertise” from veterans of various fields. The company called Centennial a “hub of corporate activity” and grew alongside it, the website said.

that motion but had not responded, the filing said.

That kind of motion could stem from any number of reasons, and it’s not uncommon, according to Jon Sarche, spokesman for the Colorado Judicial Branch. Cathleen Heintz, one of the attorneys for Ahmed and the company, declined to comment due to her firm’s policy of not commenting on active litigation.

Attorneys for Gutierrez filed a motion to vacate, or cancel, a case-management conference and related dates until further notice. The court granted the motion, a Sept. 10 filing said. A casemanagement conference often goes over procedural matters and setting future dates in the case, Sarche said.

Beyond Centennial It was unclear whether Innovation Pavilion would stay active as a company in other locations.

The proposed groundbreaking on an Innovation Pavilion campus in Florence, Arizona, was likely “a ways out,” Kolding told the Florence Town Council in July, as reported by the Florence Reminder and Blade-Tribune newspaper.

Innovation Pavilion also had a deal with the City of Joliet, Illinois, as The Herald-News reported.

Joliet’s relationship with Innovation Pavilion appeared to end Sept. 4, as the Joliet City Council voted to repeal an agreement that would have provided the company with city land and money to start an incubator campus, the newspaper reported.

The departure of two CEOs at the company led to the decision, according to a city council memo, the paper reported.

most polarized in the country — in terms of how far the parties are from each other in ideology — according to research by Boris Shor of the University of Houston and Nolan McCarty of Princeton University.

“When the choices seem so far apart between the parties, it tends to push people to register as unaffiliated,” said Robert Preuhs, political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

It’s common for millennials to register as unaffiliated, said Crane, a Republican running for re-election in November.

And, as with several facets of Colorado life, high population growth may play a role.

“New migrants from any other state tend to be more likely to register as unaffiliated until they get a sense of how the party operates in their state,” Preuhs said. More hard-line conservative or liberal voters may forgo the caution, he added, but newcomers to the state likely add to the unaffiliated count on the margins.

Even Western individualism may have shaped Colorado’s makeup, Preuhs said, referencing the idea that the Mountain West identity may not fit easily into Republican or Democratic policy positions.

“Relative to other states, Colorado has had a high proportion of unaffiliated voters dating back (a few) decades,” Preuhs said.

Eyes on the prize Both major parties, in and out of Colorado, are spending money to target unaffiliated voters, Crane said.

“There’s a real science behind trying to figure out how to woo the unaffiliated voters,” Crane said.

Television ads, literature dropped at doors and social-media efforts are among the methods used to chase those voters in areas of the state where they’re prominent, and key messages from campaigns can be part of that targeting, he added.

Both parties have their work cut out for them because they’ve moved to further to the left and right in recent years, said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. For example, Sen. Bernie Sanders did well in Colorado during his presidential run, he said.

“But it becomes more difficult to appeal to the more unaffiliated voters” the more that happens, Wadhams said.

To be a Democratic nominee today, a candidate has to lean far left, and Republicans “have to pass the Trump test,” said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst, while discussing the governor’s race.

“You don’t see (Walker) Stapleton or others deviating much from Trump orthodoxy,” Sondermann

said, referencing the Republican candidate for governor.

Judging by the June primary election, Democrats will hope more unaffiliated voters turn out to vote, while Republicans would likely be content with a normal election scenario, Preuhs said.

“Republicans tend to turn out more than Democrats and unaffiliated voters in midterms,” Preuhs said.

In the June primary, unaffiliated voters chose the Democratic ballot over the Republican one by roughly 70,000, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Parties that aren’t in power “tend to have more momentum,” Sondermann said previously. “It doesn’t determine what’ll happen in November, but I’d rather be holding the Democratic cards than the Republican cards.”

On the fence?

It’s popular to point out that unaffiliated voters are Colorado’s largest voting bloc — making up more than one-third of the electorate — but practically, Sondermann said, that’s inaccurate.

“There are many unaffiliated voters that are tacit Republicans or Democrats,” Sondermann said.

True unaffiliateds who can go either way would likely make up somewhere around 10 percent to 20 percent of unaffiliated voters, Sondermann guesses — which works out to just under 4 percent to 8 percent of all voters in Colorado.

But they’re still the “gold mine of politics,” he added.

“They’re the group that elected (President Barack) Obama and then switched and elected Trump — elected (Sen. Mark) Udall and then Cory Gardner,” Sondermann said.

Moving the needle For the midterms, “the big question” is how many in the group will actually vote, Preuhs said.

“Even when they have stable preferences, unaffiliated voters are still less likely to vote” than affiliated ones, Preuhs said.

Their potential to pull politicians to the middle may not be monumental, according to Masket.

“In other states, at any rate, when we see primaries open up to unaffiliated voters, we don’t really see much of an effect on the elected officials themselves,” Masket said. “They don’t seem to become any more moderate, in large part because unaffiliated or independent voters simply don’t vote in very high numbers.”

Whether more unaffiliated voters participating will cause a shift in Colorado politics will take years to become clear, Preuhs said. And even this midterm election may not shed much light — identifying patterns is difficult given the uniqueness of the Trump administration and its influence, he added.

“For the real answers, we’re going to have to see,” Preuhs said.

“We need more data to see what shift is going to occur, if any.”

Citizenship ceremony highlights ‘beauty and value of diversity’ Highlands Ranch library hosts naturalization ceremony for people from 17 countries

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Marolina Montanez was 4 years old, her younger sister Guadalupe just 2 months old, when their family moved from Mexico to Colorado. They have since established lives and families in the United States. Marolina lives in Colorado Springs with her two young children. Guadalupe lives in Castle Rock with her two kids.

A significant difference between their home country and the U.S. is safety, they said. While visiting Mexico six years ago, their father was shot and killed.

“The freedom, the opportunities you have here are not the same there,” Marolina, 31, said.

Alongside nearly 40 other people from 17 countries, the sisters became U.S. citizens at a Sept. 15 naturalization ceremony at James H. LaRue Library in Highlands Ranch.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) hosted the hour-long ceremony, which had about 50 attendees from family members to library staff to county residents who were simply interested in the event.

A committed process The ceremony began with the

Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a series of speakers. During an Oath of Allegiance, the new citizens stood with their right hand in the air as they recited a pledge to abide by and support the nation’s laws. Many held a small American flag in their left hand.

Then, one by one, they were called to the stage to receive a certificate of citizenship.

Each year, the USCIS welcomes 700,000 to 750,000 citizens during naturalization ceremonies across the U.S., according to the USCIS. To become a U.S. citizen, applicants must meet a set of general guidelines, go through an interview and pass a naturalization exam.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old. They need to have a green card and have lived in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident for five years, the USCIS says. They should be literate in English and knowledgeable in U.S. government and history.

The process is worth it, said May Lee, a Lone Tree resident originally from China. She got her U.S. citizenship in 2004 after eight years of preparation.

During the Sept. 15 naturalization ceremony, Lee’s daughter played the cello.

“In my 24 years here, there has

Libraries, like the one she was standing in, were censored.

“I’m just so proud,” Lee said of her U.S. citizenship. “I think this is the best country.”

County Libraries has hosted three naturalization ceremonies at its locations across the county, according to Tiffany Curtin, adult literacy specialist at James H. LaRue Library, 9292 S Ridgeline Blvd.

“We see ourselves as a hub in the community,” Curtin said. “We want to be part of life celebrations and transitions.”

The Sept. 15 naturalization ceremony welcomed people from Canada, China, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Germany, Thailand, Honduras, India, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Romania, Singapore, United Kingdom and Vietnam.

For Curtin, that sends a powerful message to the community.

“We want to raise awareness of the beauty and value of diversity,” she said.

Nearly 40 immigrants from 17 countries become U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony presented by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Douglas County Libraries has hosted three of the ceremonies in the past two years.

‘Love them for the kid they are today’ Nationally recognized expert offers insight on parenting challenges

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Following the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Dr. Scott Poland visited the school to console members of the grieving community. He did the same after the Feb. 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

When tragedy strikes in the form of a school shooting, suicide or natural disaster, Poland — a nationally recognized expert on school crisis, youth violence and suicide intervention — assists crisis teams, school staff, parents and communities in the recovery process.

Poland shared his insights Sept. 19 in a south metro Denver presentation about teen suicide prevention and the challenges of parenting in the digital age.

“I love the fact that he said, `You are the parent and you need to be involved,’ ” said Denise Atkinson, a mother of two students in Douglas County School District, who wanted to learn more about the challenges youth face. She’s noticed that some students at the middle school level struggle

School crisis expert Dr. Scott Poland talks to residents of the south metro Denver area about teen suicide prevention and parenting in the digital age. Hosted by three Douglas County organizations, the special event took place Sept. 19 at the Family Resource Pavilion in east Centennial.

ALEX DEWIND with coping skills.

“A lot of parents,” she said, “are afraid to ask questions.”

The special event was a collaboration of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Youth Initiative, a group of teens who study county needs among youth.

About 50 parents, teachers and

mental health experts from Douglas and Arapahoe counties attended the presentation at the Family Resource Pavilion in east Centennial. Local chapters of national mental health organizations, including National Alliance on Mental Illness and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, offered resources on site.

DCSD Superintendent Thomas

Tucker, the opening speaker, described a phone call he received two days earlier from a mother who was at a hospital because her child had attempted suicide.

“This is serious business when we talk about the mental health needs of our students,” Tucker said.

Poland, a professor of psychology at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, shared facts and statistics on national trends and public health concerns in youth.

A father of four, he also shared personal experiences as a parent and from his childhood.

“Somehow, I’m pretty sure all of us here tonight have been affected by suicide,” Poland said. “I was 25 years old when my father died by suicide.”

Poland touched on a number of topics, from bullying to family dynamics to teen depression. He emphasized the importance of talking about suicide, which is the second leading cause of death in teens in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.

He advised parents to monitor and restrict kids’ technology use, especially at night in the bedroom. Pulling from his own experience, he encouraged divorced parents to make a pact to never talk badly about one another in front of their children.

hen my DVD remote was being made, they added beef flavoring to the liquid plastic before it was molded.

That’s the only explanation I can think of. It went missing. I finally located it under the bed. It had a succession of teeth marks that matched Harry’s dental records.

Harry has dozens of other chewable toys that were intended for dogs. They were purchased at

pet stores. The remote was not.

The remote still worked, but its grisly appearance was unwelcome.

You can find anything online, and I found an unused replacement that had been picked up at a Santa Clara estate sale.

I put blue tape on the new one.

It was supposed to remind me not to leave it bedside.

I like to watch a few minutes of old movies before I meet the arms of Morpheus, and I just leave the

remote on the table next to the bed when that time comes.

In the morning, I’m supposed to remember where I left it the night before, but I am not that accountable, and Harry knows it.

Sitting at my computer this a.m., I heard gnawing and looked down.

The little tubular fiend and I were separated for no more than two minutes since leaving the bedroom earlier, but that’s all it took.

It could be worse. I have heard much worse. One reader lost three pairs of expensive shoes, she said.

Belts, others have claimed, slippers, sandals, table legs, seat cushions, gloves, knick knacks, and paddy whacks.

One evening, the Red Avenger approached me with what looked like a stuffed mouse and dropped it at my feet, and smiled at me.

he would “fight to defend” water compacts and enforce the law. The underlying tone of this comment portends years of contentious court battles. Phil Weiser, on the other hand, was much more positive and optimistic when he spoke of making Colorado an interna-

nce again, I have to say thank you to the community for your emails and responses. I truly enjoy hearing from you as you share your own stories with me. Your stories are the reason I WINNING am inspired each week WORDS to keep writing, so thank you.

Although my column and many other columns, blogs, podcasts, and seminars collectively reach millions of people, I am confident that most of the authors and folks who blog, record, or speak from the stage would agree that one of the most Michael Norton rewarding things, if not the most rewarding part of what we do, is when even just one person reaches out and lets us know that what we shared made a difference in that person’s life.

Zig Ziglar would say it all the time, whether there were five people in the room or 50,000 people in the stadium, Zig would say, “This will be a success even if we change just one person’s life.” It is why we do what we do. And I share this with you because even though you may not write a column, post a blog, record podcasts, or speak from the stage, you, and yes, I do mean you, can change someone’s life for the better.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

You have the ability every day to be a difference maker.

One of my favorite quotes is by Dag Hammarskjold, “It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.”

Such a powerful quote when we really stop and think about it. Of course, there are organizations we support and plenty of opportunity to help all people, but it all can start with just one person.

And that one person can then become a difference maker to one more person. It is the pebble in the ocean effect, the ripple effect.

And you never know what you can do or say that will start that ripple, that ripple that will make a difference.

Sometimes you will see it immediately, and other times you will hear from someone six months or a year later, or maybe even longer, letting you know what you did or said changed their lives.

When we live and work with the intention of doing our best, and doing our best for others, the odds are high that we will have a positive impact on someone’s life.

As a matter of fact, I will bet that you already have, you have made a difference and the world is a better place for it.

And that one person who you were a difference maker for, probably tells your story over and over again and you don’t even know it.

That’s OK, because we don’t need

to know it, it’s just about recognizing that we have the power to be a difference maker and change lives in all that we do.

A word, a hug, living by example, giving hope and encouragement, sharing a life lesson, giving someone a second chance, sharing our faith, offering unconditional love and forgiveness, and mentoring someone through a tough situation or opportunity, all of these and more are ways that we, you, are already changing lives for the better, and doing it one person at a time.

The truth is that people want to place their hope and trust in the people that have the ability to change their lives.

Now look at the word “trust” again, look at the two letters in the middle, “us.” We are all in this together, we are all the “us” in “trust.”

We may not even know we are doing it, and some of us are very intentional about doing it, but if we can all remember that what we do and say, each and every day, has the ability to make all the difference to at least one person, that by itself makes all the difference.

So how about you? Has someone made a difference in your life? Do you know where you have made a difference?

As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember that what we do and say each day counts, it really will be a better than good week.

Harry doesn’t own a stuffed mouse. It was the real thing, deceased, and relatively fresh.

I said, “We are not a cat, Harry.”

I explained to him the use of the editorial “we.”

“We” replaces the first person in an editorial, thereby lifting the onus of accountability from one person to the entire editorial board.

My use of it with Harry, however, was intended to blunt my disapproval.

With this particular hound, I am not a very tough tactician.

I know better, but he is not, as it were, on a short leash.

However, I don’t want to encourage cat behavior in him. Cats bring their prey to you, and sit aloof in corners and lick their paws all day, and that’s about it.

Harry will be 1 next month, or 7, depending on how you look at it.

These are wonderful times with him. In a blink he will be 5, then 10.

He moved here in February, but by all appearances we have been best friends for years, even decades.

If you can take it, watch something called “Owen and Haatchi” on “E:60.” Owen, a boy, has Schwartz-Jampel syndrome, and Haatchi, a dog, is missing a leg and his tail. Haatchi was tied up — intentionally — next to train tracks and a train ran over him. But he survived.

It’s a short documentary, and there’s also a book.

Every time I watch it, I hope that Owen’s parents have prepared him for the one bad day all dog owners face.

Harry’s appetite for things that are not intended for him has cost me less than $100. He’s worth it, and more.

t took Chris Clarke about five minutes to completely transform from plainclothes civilian to cosplay hero.

First, he pulled his armor, made of ethylene-vinyl acetate foam, over his legs. Then came the chest plate. The final piece, a converted motorcycle helmet with foam aesthetics was placed on his head, and he was Altera Blademaster, a humanoid from the video game “Monster Hunter: Frontier G.” The suit won Clarke the Best in Show at GalaxyFest and Cheyenne Comic Con, as well as a judge’s award at Denver Comic Con, all in 2017. He carefully measured every edge and curve to fit the exact model of the blademaster’s complicated armor. The armor, helmet and scepter took months to finish and cost about $400.

“A lot of people are like, ‘I want to be that character,’” Clarke said. “I

just picked mine because it was big and it was spikey.”

On this hot summer evening at Lions Park in Golden, as the Sept. 16 cycling race rolled into town, Clarke, 34 of Commerce City, and two friends had come for a photo shoot for this story about the meaning of cosplay.

Clarke’s transformation instantly drew stares from passersby. The suit makes Clarke look like an action figure, or, more specifically, a real live video game avatar, over his all-black elastic heat gear and leggings.

Cosplay — a combination of “costume” and “play” — is the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book or video game. It’s mostly popular in the realms of manga or anime, traiditional Japanese animations, and is used as an outlet of expression, either based on relation to a certain character, resemblance to a character or for the challenge of the costume itself.

Clarke’s costume is specific for competition, but the meaning of cosplay is deeper to him than just for winning trophies. He started an online group, Colorado Academy of Cosplay, to be a home for a community of about 350 cosplayers from around the state that specializes in educating beginners into the art of cosplay.

As Clarke strode across the park-

s a musical organization that has been in existence since 1977, it can be a challenge to put together a season that feels fresh every year. But that is a challenge Lakewood Symphony Orchestra Music Director Matt Switzer relishes.

“Planning a season is approached from many directions — how many concerts, how many soloists, what COMING repertoire has been ATTRACTIONS performed in the past five to seven years, what works will challenge the orchestra?” he explained. “The 2018-2019 season came together from a repertoire that hasn’t been performed by the orchestra in a number of years, an exciting Clarke Reader new repertoire that the orchestra has never performed and thematic choices of repertoire to pull it all together.”

That theme is “Music By the Book,” and the season officially kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, with the “Classics” program.

The show will feature works from Mozart, including his opera “Don Giovanni,” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony.” The soloist for the concert will be Emily Switzer, who last performed with the symphony in 2013 and has furthered her musical education at Tanglewood, Music Academy of the West, Yale University and Yale School of Music.

The season continues with “Leisure” on Nov. 15, the annual holiday concert on Dec. 6 and 7, the Children’s Corner performance on Feb. 2, “Romance” on March 7, “Nature” on April 18 and season-closer “Action and Adventure” on May 30. The “Action and Adventure” performance also features the presentation of the 2019 winner of the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Concerto Competition.

“No matter which concert you attend this season with the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra, you can be assured of compelling music, fantastic soloists and great value,” Switzer said. “This season will be fantastic.”

Photography show brings artistic visions to gallery ‘Colorado Aperture’ continues into early October at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Colorado Aperture” is a new photography exhibit, hosted by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild at the Depot Art Gallery, which received 319 entries from about 80 photographers. Seventyfive images are displayed in the gallery through Oct. 7 with a variety of techniques, presentations and subjects. Be sure to look to the right of the front door for a photograph by juror Bill Youmans, who presented awards to winners at the reception on Sept. 14.

In a statement that appeared with the application on callforentry.org, Youmans, who has been a professional photographer for 40 years, as well as an educator and is “currently multimedia journalist for Littleton Public Schools,” said he doesn’t worry about how the image is created, but learned early that the elements of composition and qualities of light are important as well as a photograph’s ability to

make the viewer “feel something.”

Strong music marks shows in Aurora, Arvada

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

We spent a couple of happy evenings on a recent weekend surrounded by music, enhanced by live bands and fine voices …  “Mamma Mia,” by ABBA band members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, first staged in 1999, is said to have shown in 40 countries — with at least seven performances every day somewhere on the world … It’s a joyous work, and obviously many in the Arvada Center audience were return visitors who swayed and sang along — making for an especially happy theater experience. All seemed to exit dancing and smiling. It plays through Sept.

30.

Set at Donna’s inviting rustic hotel on a Greek island, the appealing scenic design has a Mediterranean façade, planting and great lighting that works beautifully as a backdrop to the convoluted story.

“Every milestone, everybody is there, sitting next to each other,” said Poland, who made a similar agreement with his ex-wife. “Isn’t that what every kid deserves?”

He urged parents to ask questions and have the hard discussions.

“Respond, don’t react,” Poland said.

“Reach out, don’t preach.”

For Daniel McGuire, who has a 14-year-old daughter in Douglas County, the presentation affirmed his beliefs on teens and excessive technology use.

He appreciates the district’s effort to offer free events on mental and physical health.

“I figure if they are going to make resources available, I might as well take advantage of it,” McGuire said.

“It’s a shame there are still open seats.”

At the core of Poland’s presentation was compassion. Kids need to have trusted adults in their lives, he said.

They need to feel connected, involved and cared for.

“Go home and tell your sons and daughters they are the ones you always wanted and that you love them for who they are today,” Poland said.

Sunset canoeing sends off summer

ummer’s last sunset painted the sky above Littleton with oranges and pinks on Sept. 21, offering a rapturous backdrop to South Platte Park’s final sunset canoeing event of the season.

The half-dozen little boats traversed Cooley Lake, the park’s normally off-limits nature preserve, their occupants oohing and

aahing as herons and ospreys took wing in the cool of the evening.

South Platte Park is home to more than 300 species of wildlife, said park interpreter Danielle Compton, with 66 of those species found only around Cooley Lake.

The park is an oasis in the city, said park interpreter Caroline Davis.

“We meet kids from the neighborhoods around here who had no idea it existed,” Davis said. “It’s a special place, and I’m grateful I get to call it my office.”

Event raises money for animal shelter

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

People from near and far traveled to the Glendale Farm Open Space in Douglas County on Sept. 22 to hike with their dogs, enjoy rolling views of the Front Range and raise money for the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center.

The Wag `n Trail annual event took over the Glendale Farm Open Space offering attendees a 1.6-mile hike, craft beers to refresh after and food for owners and pets alike.

Registration fees and donations collected through the event benefit the Buddy Center, a full-service animal shelter located in Castle Rock. The Buddy Center offers medical care, training services, foster care and pet adoptions in the county.

Curtis and Donna Hopehill traveled from Loveland to participate, carrying a photo of their dog Rossco, who died of cancer but loved coming, they said. They took with them this year their two new rescues, Maliwan, a German shepherd mix, and Luna, a Great Dane.

“I’ve been coming since 2008,” said Donna, who used to live in Castle Rock. Hopehill said they love supporting the Dumb Friends League and honoring Rossco’s memory. “This was just his ultimate favorite event.”

Trails filled up and kept busy during the Sept. 22 Wag ’n Trail event, a fundraiser for the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center.

With rolling views of the Front Range, hikers took their dogs of all sizes for a walk at the Glendale Open Space on Sept. 22.

COSPLAY FROM PAGE 14

Losty cosplays as Valka, a main character from the movie “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” and Mathys cosplays as Bandit Sivir, a battle mistress from the video game “League of Legends.”

The three formed the Colorado Academy of Cosplay in June as a group designed “for cosplayers, by cosplayers” to essentially bring back the purity of the art form. The group took off in just three months.

They were frustrated by what they saw as tarnishing the name of cosplay. First of all, they said, the changing competition rules from local conventions made it difficult for serious competitors to compete. Mathys also explained how the art of cosplay has been diluted by people seeking attention and by followers, using the opportunity to dress in skimpy or scandalous outfits that is common among cosplay outfits.

“At a lot of competitions, there’s a lot of body-shaming …

That should not be happening,” Mathys said. “Cosplay is for everyone. Cosplay is for anyone.

Cosplay shouldn’t be about followers. It should be about art, the effort, the friends that you make and the community.”

Clarke, Losty and Mathys take

pride in the details of their costumes — Losty spent more than $500 on hers.

To them, there’s a constant drive to approach perfection, even though they admittedly won’t ever be completely satisfied.

Cosplay also provides social opportunities. Mathys goes to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Clarke is a lab technician and Losty works in software.

“By nature,” Losty said, “we’re all introverts.”

Nearby, the “Golden Giddyup” mountain bike race drew a crowd of hundreds to Lions Park. For the most part, the trio of cosplayers drew confused stares and gaping mouths, with the exceptional thumbs-up or passing biker shouting “You guys are my heroes.”

In a situation when most people would feel awkward or uncomfortable dressed up as if they’re going to a costume party — as one little boy pointed out — dressing together in cosplay provided almost a heightened sense of self-confidence.

“I’m not super social,” Mathys said. “Personally, going out and seeing people, talking to strangers isn’t something I do on the normal. There’s strength in numbers. You know you’re not being singled out.

“There’s support from people behind you.”

Virtual reality offers way to defeat phobias High-tech therapy gives hope to people who battle crippling fears

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dick Tracey didn’t have to visit a tall building to get over his fear of heights. He put on a virtual reality headset.

Through VR, he rode an elevator to a high-rise atrium that looked so real he fell to his knees.

“I needed to search with my hand for something solid around me,” he said.

He told himself, “I must look stupid. Let’s just stand up. Nothing’s going to happen.”

Virtual reality therapy can help people like Tracey by exposing them gradually to their greatest terrors.

The technology is just now reaching the mainstream after 20 years of research. Equipment is lighter and more affordable, with tech advances spilling over from the gaming industry to help people fight disabling fears of flying, heights, spiders or dogs.

And the surge in products is bringing VR to more therapists’ offices. Experts predict people with mild phobias will treat themselves successfully at home.

Research shows VR therapy can lead to real-world gains for people with phobias, and works as well as traditional exposure therapy, which slowly subjects patients to what causes anxiety for them.

For Denver librarian Nick Harrell, VR was a booster shot after traditional therapy for fear of flying.

Panic drove him off a flight to Paris two years ago, forcing him to abandon a vacation with his girlfriend.

“I don’t like being locked in the metal tube,” Harrell explained.

“I couldn’t breathe. My chest was pounding.”

With help from a therapist, Harrell first faced his fears through exposure therapy. Elevators, buses and trains were good practice for airplanes.

“Within a matter of months, I was flying again,” Harrell said.

With VR recently added to his therapy, Harrell keeps fears in check. His health insurance covers the cost with a small copay.

But few people with phobias seek treatment. Too embarrassed to get help, many plan their lives around avoiding their fears.

Tracey of Oxfordshire, England, avoided heights, from ladders to breathtaking vistas. Escalators gave the 62-year-old retiree heart palpitations. His wife walked between him and steep slopes.

Tracey’s VR therapy was part of a study . He was one of the first to

Fundraiser to benefit Colorado Feeding Kids STAFF REPORT

Unity on the Avenue plans its 2018 community outreach fundraiser to benefit Colorado Feeding Kids, a local nonprofit that provides nonperishable meals to Colorado kids and families through food banks and schools, and to disaster areas around the world.

The Hearts of Hope Silent Auction is Friday, Oct., 19 at Unity on the Avenue, 4670 E. 17th Ave. Parkway, Denver.

The event goes from 6:30-9:30 p.m. and hopes to provide an additional 400,000 meals to meet the growing demand for food support. Tickets can be purchased for $25 each at www.CoFeedingkids. org.

Colorado Feeding Kids is an allvolunteer organization headed by Ken Bradley, president of the board of trustees. Cash donations are used to buy the raw material to make the packages containing six meals each.

Each serving costs 25 cents, meaning

$1 provides four meals.

Meal packing takes place at the FERN Warehouse at least monthly and sponsored meal packs take places at various churches and clubs throughout the city and state.

“Colorado Feeding Kids’ goal is to end hunger in Colorado,” Bradley said in a news release. “This year we have distributed over 630,000 meals so far and in our 10-year history close to 6 million. But the demand is growing right here at home. We are receiving more calls from food banks and schools for our new offering, Backpack Meals.

The backpack contains three six-meal packages providing a total of 18 meals and snacks for the weekend.”

According to the news release, one in five Colorado kids does not know when he or she will receive his or her next meal. One in eight Colorado seniors and families face food insecurity; seniors often have to choose between food and medicine.

Cherry Creek quarterback Alex Padilla has committed to play at the University of Iowa.

Alex Padilla is Creek senior who has committed to play for Iowa

Q

uarterback Alex Padilla put up impressive numbers for the Cherry Creek football team last season, but not good enough in a few areas, which he is hoping to upgrade this season.

The senior has committed to play football next season for the University of Iowa and passed for 2,678 yards and 40 touchdowns for the Bruins last season with a .667 completion percentage.

He has been described as a pocket quarterback with excellent arm talent and an accurate delivery, but he hopes to add more to his resume this year for the Bruins, who have been

ranked as the state’s No. 1 5A team all season by the CHSAANow.com poll.

“I turned the ball a little too much last year,” said Padilla who moved into a starting role as a sophomore. “I had nine interceptions. I want to improve my completion percentage and be a better teammate and better leader. That’s the biggest thing this year.

“It is a little of both physical and mental. Just becoming a little more comfortable with the offense, make reads faster and the leadership part is just being more vocal and being a better teammate. It comes with the territory of being a quarterback. It becomes easier over the years since I’ve been playing for a while.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s poised and has been through some tough battles. You can throw a lot at him, he can check plays and for me he’s been a lot of fun to coach. He’s the leader of this team.’

Dave Logan Cherry Creek head football coach

Q&A with Padilla What’s your favorite pregame meal?

In the mornings my dad always makes me a chorizo and egg burrito on every game day. That’s pretty good.

Who is your favorite athlete?

My favorite athlete right now is Marcus Mariota. I just love him because he is a humble, down-to-earth guy, works hard and doesn’t talk or anything, just stays silent and works on his craft.

What music do you listen to before a game and why?

Mostly just Drake and Kanye just to get me pumped up.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

I would have to say my father (Mike) and my

coaches. They are guys I look up to and they motivate me in every aspect of the game, not just physical, but being a better teammate.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

I like math. I’m good at it and it’s pretty concrete and it’s easy to figure out the formulas.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

Anything that would help us get a win, whether it be handing the ball off or throwing 30-plus passes a game.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

I like history. It’s fun to learn about the past so we don’t make any mistakes that have already been made.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Key stats | Padilla has thrown for 956 yards and 13 touchdowns in five games, with a completion percentage of 69.4.

ormer Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez hit a home run with his comment that hard work doesn’t guarantee success but without it you don’t have a chance. Several hard-working area golfers will be among the individual contenders at the three boys OVERTIME state high school golf tournaments set for Oct. 1-2 after posting low scores in regional qualifying tournaments.

Two of those individuals are Arapahoe’s Jack Tickle and Riley Jim Benton Rottschaefer, who tied for medalist honors at the Sept.

19 Class 5A Southern Regional with 1-under-par scores of 71 at Murphy Creek Golf Course and led the Warriors to the regional team title.

“Jack was really serious about this golf season,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner. “He practiced every day this summer and played in many tournaments. He would call other players on the team at eight o’clock in the morning and ask them if they wanted to hit balls. He deserves the season he is having. He worked hard and he is as steady of a golfer as I have ever had and has a good chance at state.

“Riley hits the ball a mile. He is left-handed and has a left-hander’s mentality. There isn’t a par-five that he can’t reach in two. Jack and Riley both have complete games, length, finesse and touch.”

The 5A state tourney will be at the Colorado Springs Country Club while the 4A state event is set for The Club at Flying Horse in Colorado Springs. The Boulder County Club host sthe 3A tournament.

And, after looking at regional scores that I can only write about and never shoot, it appears there are dozens of individuals and several teams that have a chance to capture top honors assuming they work hard on the golf course for two October days.

Valor Christian’s Jake Welch carded a 4-under-par 68 at Legacy Ridge for the low round at the Central Regional on Sept. 17 and helped the Eagles tie for the team title which Fairview won in a playoff.

On campus: News and notes from local high school sports programs Arapahoe • Jack Tickle and Riley Rottschaefer tied with Liberty’s Brandon Bervig for medalist honors at the Class 5A Southern Regional state golf qualifying tournament on Sept. 19 at Murphy Creek Golf Course in Aurora. All three golfers had 1-under par scores of 71 but a playoff was canceled because of rain, so the three were tri-medalists. Coach Harry Buckner’s team won the regional championship with a 219 total as Caleb Busta finished tied for seventh with a 77. The 5A state tournament is set for Oct. 1-2 at the Colorado Springs Country Club.

• The football team opens play in the Metro East League on Sept. 28 with a game at Littleton Public Schools Stadium against Cherokee Trail. The Warriors ended non-league play with a 4-1 record following a 52-6 win over Douglas County on Sept. 20. It was the most points scored by an Arapahoe football since a 59-17 win over Fossil Ridge on Sept. 17, 2010.

• Junior Mia Glover went 2-for-2, scored twice, drove in one run and had a sacrifice bunt as the softball team rallied to earn a 5-3 Centennial League victory over Smoky Hill on Sept. 22.

Cherry Creek • The football team, top-ranked

BENTON FROM PAGE 25

Tarek Salem of Highlands Ranch was in a four-player tie for second at the Western Regional held at Redlands Mesa Golf Club with a 1-overpar 73. He was also deadlocked with Jack Larson and Gage Messingham of Ralston Valley, who sparked the Mustangs to the team title. Horizon’s Ryan Bomareto was the individual winner with a 1-under 71.

“Jack and Gage played a very smart round,” said Ralston Valley coach Jeff Wasinger. “They were both very close to the top of the leaderboard all day. Once they posted their scores, we knew we had a two-shot cushion with our number three (Ben Lenahan) and four (Trey Kirschner) still on the course. One of them had to close the deal by paring the final three holes. Lenahan did it and Kirschner came close.”

Cherry Creek’s Grayson Blackmon pulls down Chaparral’s Dylan Smithwick in the Sept.

20 game. Cherry Creek won 49-7.

JIM BENTON in the CHSAANow.com 5A poll on Sept. 17, defeated Chaparral 49-7 on Sept. 20 and will face Overland in the Metro East League-opening game on Sept. 28.

The Bruins have defeated the Trail Blazers in the past 10 football games played between the schools. The Bruins scored six firsthalf touchdowns against Chaparral to build a 42-0 halftime lead and played reserves most of the second half.

Senior tight end Vance Brazile caught three passes for 51 yards and two went for touchdowns.

• Junior Amelia McCarthy scored three goals as the top-ranked girls field hockey team blanked Cheyenne Mountain, 5-0, on Sept. 20.

• Alex Frey sparked the girls softball team to its 10th straight win when the Bruins downed Mullen, 9-1, on Sept.

20. The junior had two hits, scored twice and drove in two runs to support her complete-game pitching effort as she allowed just five hits and struck out 10 batters.

Lakewood’s Ryan Liao came in with a 4-under-par 68 at the Northern Regional held at Murphy Creek on Sept. 18 but came in second to Dillon Stewart of team champion Fossil Ridge who fired a 9-under-par 63.

Holy Family’s Jacob Mason carded a 4-under 67 at Common Ground Golf Course to earn the medalist ribbon at the 3A Region 2 tournament and Ponderosa won the 4A Region 2 team title as Mac Konrad secured medalist honors with a 4-over-par 76 on the Silver Course at the Air Force Academy.

“The Colorado Springs Country Club, depending on how the course is set up on tournament days especially the greens, can be a little tricky,” said Wasinger. “The course can play long or short also depending on where they set up the tees. I expect the top scorers to be breaking par but probably not as many as in the four regionals and also probably not as low.”

Anything can happen and has hap-

pened at state tournaments.

“There are some good teams in the state and I think if we play “A” golf in Colorado Springs we might be able to surprise these teams that are winning the regionals,” said Highlands Ranch coach Jon Cushing.

Heritage • Senior Ian Kelly ran a 16:19.00 and finished fifth in the Division I boys race on Sept. 22 at the Dave Sanders Invitational cross country meet.

• Eli Nicholls, off an assist from Nathan Tinaglia, scored the game’s only goal in overtime to lift the boys soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Ponderosa on Sept. 20. Tinaglia and Koku Millet-Barrett had the goals in a 2-0 win over Highlands Ranch on Sept. 18.

Parker power Seems as if schools in Parker are powers this season in girls volleyball.

Chaparral is No.1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll and Lutheran is top-ranked in the 3A ratings. Ponderosa, which plays against the big girls in the 5A Continental League, is second in the 4A poll.

And, the highly regarded status of each program is nothing new and many people still remember six or seven years ago.

Chap compiled a 63-1 record in 2011 and 2012 with two state championships and at one time won 58 dual meets in a row. The Wolverines have had only one losing season in 12

Littleton • The boys cross country team had two runners finish in the top 10 in the Division 2 boys competition at the Sept. 22 Dave Sanders Invitational cross country meet. Senior Christian Sapakoff was sixth with a time of 17:17.00 and senior Christian Olsen was 10th in 17:35.00.

Freshman Grace Valentine was the leading Lions girls runner with an 18th-place finish in 21:10.00.

• The girls volleyball team downed Wheat Ridge 3-0 on Sept. 20, which marked its second win in the past three matches.

• The boys tennis team improved its dual meet record to 7-1 with a 7-0 win over Arvada on Sept. 20. Senior Ethan and sophomore Ollie Montoya are 9-0 this season in No. 4 doubles competition.

Englewood • The softball team edged Arvada, 7-6, on Sept. 20. Sophomore Emma Garcia went 1-for-3 with three RBIs in the victory.

• In three-game football statistics, senior running back Ikaika Gonzalezbentosino is averaging 10.3 yards per carry and has gained 382 yards.

• The volleyball team won six sets in sweeping Riverdale Ridge on Sept.

18 and Alameda on Sept. 20. The closest margin was 10 points in any of the six sets. Junior Deveyn Hainey leads the team with 57 kills, Lily Johnson has 16 blocks and Ashlynn Hainey has been credited with 83 assists.

years.

“At Chaparral we put a huge value on the ‘Chap Fam,’” said Amanda West, who has been head coach at Chaparral for the past four seasons.

“Most of these girls on the current team have played together for a few years and we feel like we have created a small family.”

Lutheran, coached by Alicia Oates, won Class 2A state titles in 2011 and 2012 and was a 3A state runner-up last season under Oates’ mentorship.

The Lions were a 2A runner up in 2013.

Ponderosa won the 5A state championship in 2009 and has been a state contending threat in most seasons despite dropping down a classification.

Heritage opens with 3-0 start to season The Heritage Eagle’s fast start so far this season didn’t slow down Sept. 14 at Five Star Stadium as it took two offensive plays to seize control and run away with a 40-6 win over the Thornton Trojans (0-3).

The Eagles limped to a 2-8 record a season ago but have already recorded three wins in three tries in 2018.

“We are pretty excited about the start so far,” Heritage Coach Tyler Knoblock said. “We knew we had to get a little bit of confidence established early, so we have put a lot of stock into these early games. In some senses league play is all that matters, but RPI holds importance also.

We weren’t a bad football team, but we couldn’t quite put four quarters together.”

The opening score for Heritage covered 56 yards in less than 30 seconds on a catch from senior Caden Downs (32 yards) and a 24-yard run from senior tailback Gianna Palazzo. The offense the rest of the first half led by junior Connor Cummiskey tallied for 248 yards on 32 plays (7.75 yards per play).

Despite the offense accumulating 30 points in the first half, the defense stole the spotlight for Heritage, allowing 31 yards in the opening two quarters. The longest play allowed by this stellar group was a nine-yard run from senior running back Traekwon Scott-Roberts.

In the second half, not much changed, especially for the rangy, athletic Eagles’ defensive squad. Domination, particularly by the front seven anchored by senior Zach Worthing, Heritage allowed 46 yards. With 15 negative plays caused throughout the evening, Thornton found themselves

behind the chains with no escape.

“Those guys understood it started in the weight room and the totals that our front seven put up is pretty impressive,” Knoblock said. “We are pretty happy with where our defense is at. There are a lot of things from tonight we can get better at, but we knew coming out for a road game is never easy.”

The Trojans’ one bright spot offensively came from Scott-Roberts, whose 28 rushes for 68 yards didn’t display the kind of success the bruising back recorded. Scott-Roberts earned every yard including the 1-yard TD burst for Thornton’s lone score with 34 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

The Heritage defense found their way into the backfield routinely because of a 1-for-8 passing night (two interceptions) from the home teams’ quarterbacks.

“We were super concerned about him (Scott-Roberts) all week. He’s deadly on the cutback, so we had to stay patient and not allow the big play.”

A positive for Thornton heading into their next contest, however, is the superb play of their defense in the second half. Allowing only 49 yards on 22 plays (2.22 YPP), seniors Christian Gang, Alex Plante, and Angelo Romero led the group to ultimate success late.

Knoblock said his team accumulated way too many penalties.

“There were a couple of calls that were close, and you don’t want to take the aggressiveness out of your defense, but it’s a very fine line of being smart on the perimeter,” he said. “Definitely gave them the ball back and extended some drives with those penalties, so that’s something we have to look at and figure a way to manage.”

King Features Weekly Service

September 24, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special someone.

You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A colleague could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with co-workers. Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an important opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to others.

Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might think it would be best to reject a suggestion that others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for themselves.
