GREG BOMAN

Merchant mall owner, Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner Designing a life in Castle Rock We moved to Castle Rock in 1999 and really just found this town to be very charming. The kids were in junior high and we felt like this was a great place to finish raising our kids. So we came down here and shortly after, I bought a little design business. It was called Distinctive Touch Interiors. I guess it was in 2001 we opened a space in a downtown store here and really felt like this was a fun thing to do — it was called Trading Places. In 2005 we opened a store at the corner of Perry and Fifth Street. We were there for about three years and it was called Trendy Digs. Then I went full on into home staging. Total I’ve been doing it for about 15 years. That means getting homes ready for resale. I worked with Realtors and their clients — where to put the furniture and how to put it all together.

Opening The Emporium I wanted to start a merchant mall and we had the opportunity to purchase this building. In October of 2012 we came in and we leased space kind

of in the front of the building for about three months. Then we were able to move into the rest of the front of the building, and we were able to purchase the building in March of that year.

About six months after that we were able to get the renovations done.

We started interviewing merchants, really excited. Ultimately, we have grown it up to about 60 merchants now. Most of the people have to work a few days a month. At any one time we could have five to six of the merchants here working.

When I’m not working …

I am a Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner.

I’ve been doing that now for almost eight years and I love it. It’s hard work for an old guy that’s almost 57, but it’s just really fun. I’ve been to Brazil several times and travel around with a lot of my friends. I like that it’s a very athletic workout. It’s also the best one of the martial arts for people as they age. It’s very strenuous but it’s also, if you do it correctly, more safe.

Being a part of your community I grew up in a small town and saw this as just a place that was full of life, and a place where we wanted to be and be known. I always think it’s important know and be known in your community.

DONAHUE FROM PAGE 1

ArmaLite after the company that developed it.

Having a concealed or open carry permit doesn’t qualify someone to shoot, Donahue says. People need training and practice, of which he seems to have plenty. His first shot of the day is a bull’s-eye — and it isn’t the last.

This is a side some may not know of the former councilmember and mayor, who stepped down Dec. 6 after being term-limited. Paul Donahue the mayor was known for controversial decisions and thwarting a recall attempt. Paul Donahue the man is known by those close to him as a faith-based mentor and friend.

When it comes to firearms, Donahue, 51, isn’t shy. But he tried not to mention the club in the past few years, he said, because he didn’t like to promote his businesses while in office. He thought it to be “tacky.”

With ease, he’ll show a willing pupil how to properly handle the gun, how to load it, where to place hands while shooting and offer coaching advice.

He’s a believer in the Constitution and its amendments, he said, including the Second Amendment.

It’s why, Donahue said, he successfully campaigned during his tenure for open carry in town buildings and parks. Donahue said he didn’t make use of the open carry law in 2016. He doesn’t expect to in 2017 either. That’s not what his campaign was about.

“I am more interested in the Constitution and protecting our constitutional rights,” he said.

With a rollercoaster eight years behind him, Donahue said he’s ready to be seen, not as a public figure, but as simply Paul Donahue — husband, father of three and a businessman.

Donahue and his wife, Jennifer, have three sons: Tanner, 22, Aidan, 20, and Maclean, 18. In addition to his interest at the gun club, Donahue is a financial adviser for Edward Jones in Castle Rock.

‘A lot of ups and downs’ Fighting for open carry — a move that garnered widespread attention, including from the New York Times — wasn’t the only controversy to follow Donahue. There were protests of the council-approved Promenade develop-

Paul Donahue says his advocacy for the Second Amendment is less about a desire to shoot guns and more about protecting constitutional rights.

JESSICA GIBBS ment near the Outlets at Castle Rock, and recalls of not only Donahue, but also Councilmembers Renee Valentine and Mark Heath.

Donahue’s recall was the only to garner an election, but he prevailed in a landslide to retain his seat.

Stacey Rogers, who helped lead Donahue’s recall, said she hopes council will be different with new faces in the mix. A council led by Donahue lacked open communication, she said, and Rogers is holding out for a “less secretive council” now that he’s transitioned out and three new members are on board.

“We weren’t seeking his recall for no reason,” she said of Donahue. “He’s secretive. My interpretation is controlling.”

She described his leadership style as authoritative, verging on authoritarian, and she believed he worked behind the scenes.

“As a resident, it felt like when you went into a council meeting everything was set,” she said. “There was no point in speaking.”

Donahue was good at selling Castle Rock, she acknowledged, “in the sense of how he depicted our community for outsiders, for developers, for commercial enterprises. Whether citizens think they’re great or not, it drew

those to Castle Rock.”

But development was one driver behind the recalls. Petitioners, who believed development was happening too much and too rapidly, said their voices were not being heard.

Donahue disputes that view, saying that even though he and council disagreed with recall leaders on the development issue, he did listen.

Looking back, Donahue believes undergoing a recall was personally transformative for him — a difficult experience that left him stronger.

“There’s a lot of ups and down being mayor,” Donahue said. “You become the focal point of the majority of criticism in town.”

Guiding a growing town Despite the controversies, Donahue said he will miss being mayor.

His points of pride from those years include assisting with the development of Philip S. Miller Park and the Miller Activity Complex, which are a 320-acre park and indoor/outdoor recreation center boasting trail networks, soccer fields, pools, an amphitheater and home to the Castle Rock Zip Line Tours.

He is proud of how the council oversaw development of the Promenade, a retail location near the outlets that brought stores such as Sam’s Club, Mad Greens, Tokyo Joe’s, Waxing the City and Vitality Bowls to Castle Rock, but met opposition from prairie dog activists. And Donahue was proud to help finalize construction of the North Meadows Extension, a second entrance to The Meadows from U.S. Highway 85 and I-25.

He was a key proponent of those projects, he said, because he believes their success will create momentum for Castle Rock’s economic development.

“When I first came on in 2008, the rate of development was too slow,” Donahue said. “The economic situation at the time was causing businesses to close up.”

In the years since, he said it wasn’t the town council that determined

Castle Rock’s rate of growth, but rather the free market. Still, he said, the council sought to ensure it was smartly done.

That starts with knowing where growth will happen, he said. The town is prepared for development in areas like downtown, along Crowfoot Valley Road, in Pine Canyons and south of town near Dawson Ridge and Crystal Valley, he said.

“How fast we get there is less important than knowing how we’re going to get there,” Donahue said.

Town Manager David Corliss said Donahue was an influential councilmember in guiding town growth.

Opening the North Meadows Extension, which was decades in the planning, will “pay dividends to the Castle Rock community for decades to come,” Corliss said.

But Corliss cited numerous other milestones that mark Donahue’s tenure. From supporting renewable drinking water supplies through the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility to “keeping the town fiscally conservative,” he said, Donahue and the council achieved much.

“I think Paul will be remembered as a councilmember and mayor who was part of successfully guiding the community to new heights of achievement,” Corliss said.

Man of faith, mentor, friend Donahue’s successor as mayor, Jennifer Green, said Donahue always encouraged council to do what was best for the town.

On a personal level, she described him as a quiet person who, unlike Roger’s description, doesn’t have an authoritative air. In her eyes, he led more by example.

“I think that’s a great leadership quality,” Green said.

He was a leader who put his faith first, she said. Green commended him for spearheading the placement of “In God We Trust,” the national motto, on the soffit above council’s seating area in 2013.

And in 2009, Donahue supported a motion to open council meetings with an invocation. The resulting resolution allows leaders from all faiths, beliefs and religious perspectives to give the invocation.

Friend Richard Ward met Donahue through church about eight years ago and describes him as an ethical and trustworthy leader with a “a family man” approach to life.

As a founding member of their men’s ministry, the Action Team, Donahue was skilled at organizing people and making good decisions, Ward said. The Action Team, or the A-Team for short, provides handy work or moving services for single mothers and the disabled.

Said Ward: “You’re losing a great mayor.”

Now, Donahue is ready to rebuild areas of his life from which the mayor’s job took time away.

Amid rumors he planned to leave Castle Rock, Donahue said he and his family will stay in town for the near future. Any moves down the road will be for business.

“My priorities right now,” Donahue said, “are to focus on my marriage and to focus on my business.”

Merchants counting on Riverwalk to boost business

The Blue Nectar Innovative Mexican Grill and Bar is located at the planned site for the Riverwalk development in Castle Rock.

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS

Miguel Hernandez, owner of Blue Nectar Innovative Mexican Grill and Bar, is hoping the Riverwalk development doesn’t force his business out of its location on the north side of Sellars Gulch.

just make it more vibrant,” and she’d favor other projects like the Riverwalk coming to the area.

But a key problem, both Smith and Bacon said, is parking. The lack of nearby spaces already deters customers from coming downtown, Smith said.

Because of the expected influx of people and traffic, Katrina Holmes said she is staying neutral about the development. Holmes owns Mountain Man gift shop near the intersection of Wilcox and Second streets. She’s also lived in Douglas County her entire life.

“So I’ve watched this town grow,” she said. “It could be good for business, maybe not so much for traffic.”

Town Manager Dave Corliss said the town is actively working to address downtown parking and has hired Kimley-Horn, a national downtown parking firm, to study and provide solutions to present and future parking needs.

“A stronger and more vibrant downtown will bring more people to downtown, and more cars,” he said in an email, “and the town is anticipating this in our current planning efforts.”

Enhancing downtown is one of Castle Rock’s top priorities, and new and existing businesses will benefit from redevelopment, said Corliss, “including projects such as the planned Riverwalk mixed-use development.”

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a business owner, Michaela Bacon of Maddie’s Biergarten restaurant in Castle Rock is excited for the planned $60 million Riverwalk development in the downtown area.

“I think it’s great,” she said. “Hopefully, we’re going to benefit from it.

Grow business.”

The Riverwalk project seeks to provide a space for people to live, work and dine in the downtown area, said Tony DeSimone with project owner Confluence Companies. They hope the Riverwalk will improve the downtown area by providing living space, and for people like Bacon, they hope to spur economic growth.

“Without a doubt, that’s a big goal of ours,” DeSimone said. “What we’re trying to do is generate more daytime users.”

Businesses fare well on the weekends, he said, but struggle to pull customers during the workweek.

The project details include 228 apartment units, 30,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of retail or restaurant space at the ground level. Underground and street-level parking will total about 300 spaces.

The project is planned in two phases — a building constructed on the south side of Sellars Gulch along Wilcox Street and a second building on the north — with groundbreaking scheduled for late January or early February. Completion is expected in the fall of 2018.

The town council unanimously approved the project in October, with then-Mayor Paul Donahue and Councilmember George Teal saying it would provide a backbone for downtown and bring vitality to the area.

Former Councilmember Chip Wilson, who represented the downtown area at that time but didn’t run again because he was term-limited, initially expressed concern over the limited amount of public parking provided by the project and an influx of traffic that more than 200 apartments could bring to Wilcox Street.

“The scale of the project is a little daunting,” he said at the Oct. 4 meeting.

But, saying he was “warming up” to the project, he ended up supporting it.

Restaurant owner unhappy Although several business owners

say they are excited about the Riverwalk, at least one owner says the project makes the future of his restaurant, Blue Nectar Innovative Mexican Grill and Bar, uncertain.

The restaurant is located on the north side of Sellars Gulch, where the second Riverwalk building is planned.

Moving locations would mean uprooting a profitable business, owner Miguel Hernandez said.

“We are a very healthy restaurant,” he said. “We want to stay.”

Hernandez doesn’t oppose developments such as Riverwalk. In fact, he likes new buildings that are “designed well.” And he’s not against moving, as long as he receives fair compensation for the loss of income a move would cause, he said.

“I’m open to the change,” Hernandez said, “if they will value my business for what it’s worth.”

Confluence Companies and Hernandez are in negotiations, but haven’t been able to reach an agreement yet. Both Hernandez and DeSimone declined to say what has been offered.

DeSimone said Confluence is looking for a solution to make all sides happy.

Injecting vitality into downtown A number of businesses, however, are counting on Riverwalk to boost business.

Sharon Smith, one of four owners at Authentic home and lifestyle boutique in Castle Rock, is hopeful — like Bacon — that Riverwalk will liven the downtown area.

“I’m hoping that it’s going to bring ... people down here to walk around,” she said.

Smith believes adding more living apartments or condos downtown “will

A year of change, tragedy and triumph A look at the stories that helped shape 2016 in the south metro Denver area

Taking time to remember the stories that touched our hearts

BY CHRIS ROTAR CROTAR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The detective was hidden by thousands of pounds of steel, but he wasn’t exactly going undercover.

Dan Brite, who was shot and almost killed by a Parker man nearly four months earlier, was on his way home. Three days before Christmas, a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office armored vehicle took him there — but not before rolling down Highlands Ranch Parkway so his co-workers at the sheriff ’s substation could cheer his release from Craig Hospital in Englewood.

On Sept. 2, Brite was shot in the chest by a suspect described by authorities as being suicidal. The suspect, Randall Rodick, was killed by a police officer moments later.

Community support poured in throughout Brite’s recovery.

On Sept. 11, more than a thousand people gathered outside Parker Adventist Hospital, where Brite remained in critical condition, to pray and offer words of encouragement for the Douglas County resident and his family.

“You have no idea the power of that,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said of the support for his officer.

By Oct. 6, Brite had recovered enough to be transferred from Parker Adventist to Craig for continued rehabilitation. He is still without the use of his legs, and he received extensive care at Craig, including instruction on using hand controls to drive.

As the year came to a close, Brite’s ride home offered a reminder of how a triumph can emerge from tragic circumstances.

DEVELOPING STORIES A slew of major projects either kicked off or continued in the south metro area in 2016.

Four large, mixed-use developments were among them. The Jones District in Centennial, Central Park in Highlands Ranch, the Promenade at Castle Rock and Littleton Village each will feature retail and residential components.

In northwest Douglas County, work continued on Sterling Ranch, which at completion will be a new community of more than 30,000 people.

On the transportation front, the Southeast Light Rail Extension in Lone Tree and the C-470 expansion project, which will add toll lanes, both got underway.

District’s superintendent announced she was leaving to take the same position at a district in SEE 2016, P7

Making a difference came in all kinds of ways in 2016: There were the elementary students who yarn-bombed trees in an explosion of colors as a prelude to their donation of knitted hats and scarves to those less fortunate.

“As a little person, you don’t feel like you can make a big difference,” their teacher, Stephanie Stoner, said. “But I see so many times that these kids change people’s lives.”

There was the dentist who took away the pain that Brandon McGee had lived with for so long. Which made his smile, the one that conveys all his love, even brighter.

“Some people look at a doctor as just a doctor,” McGee, who suffers from a brain injury, said about his dentist, Yvette Killingworth.

“But…you bring the joy every time I’m here…I see a new friend.”

There were the volunteers who rebuilt a deck for a family caring for a teenage son struggling with a degenerative disease.

“It’s like a miracle happening today,” mother Cindy Zimmerman said. “These people are really the hands and feet of Jesus.”

There was the teen, who was bullied, battled depression and attempted suicide, who decided to tell her story to help others through a weekly radio show.

“We all have down days,” Cassandra Perkins said. “When it starts to consume you is when it becomes a serious problem…

It makes you feel so good to help someone else.”

There was the man who invited people to Fort Logan National Cemetery to decorate the graves of Muslim-Americans during a contentious political season. He only expected himself and his wife. Twenty people showed up.

“I’m flabbergasted,” Mike Sexton said.

“People just came together as Americans — complete strangers from all different walks of life.”

And there was Derek Scheiderman, who lost the use of his legs in a car crash that fractured his spinal cord.

“So what?” he said. “I’m in a wheelchair. I can still go where I want to go. I can still do what I want to do. I have great friends, great family. I still love life.”

These are just a few of the many stories that touched people’s hearts in 2016, that connected us to each other and reminded us about the strength and glory of the human spirit.

The stories are always there — in an outstretched hand, a kind word or a simple, joyful smile.

Texas. Elizabeth Fagen’s six years at the helm of DCSD were marked by controversy over a number of reforms she helped implement. Erin Kane, executive director of a local charter school, was named interim superintendent and is expected to lead the district through the completion of the 2016-17 school year.

June 14: Littleton City Council fired the city manager, a rare move in the south metro area. Some councilmembers cited a lack of competency on Michael Penny’s part when it came to matters related to development and urban renewal. But one councilmember who supported Penny called the move part of “a multi-pronged approach to dismantle this city.” In December, the city council announced there are six finalists to replace Penny, with interviews scheduled for February.

June 28: Lora Thomas, the former Douglas County coroner, won the Republican primary for county commissioner, District 3. Her opponent, Monica Wasden, was the choice of the area’s GOP leadership, and she received the endorsements of many local leaders. Thomas went on to win the seat in the November general election and starts her new job as Douglas County commissioner this month.

July 26: A months-long effort came to an end when Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue kept his District 1 council seat in a recall election.

Frustrated by what they felt was out-of-control growth in the town, a group of residents mounted recall efforts against Donahue and two other councilmembers, Renee Valentine and Mark Heath. The efforts against Valentine and Heath were withdrawn before they could be put to a vote of residents.

Oct. 1: Nicholas Lewis, a chef at a Denver restaurant, was fatally shot in Englewood. The suspects in the 33-year-old Englewood resident’s death are both 16-year-olds who are being charged as adults with first-degree

murder: Raheem Vaughn Benson, of Littleton, and Louis Fernando LaraMacias, of Englewood.

Nov. 8: On Election Day, Englewood voters said yes to opening their wallets by approving several ballot measures. The city’s five elementary schools will be replaced with a $97.5 million bond measure, and schools will also get $1.5 million more per year in operating funds. A new police station got a $27 million go-ahead. Recreational marijuana sales also got the OK, with nearly two-thirds of voters backing such sales.

Nov. 8: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, kept his seat in the 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch. The race drew national attention and was projected to be extremely close, but the congressman won by a large margin over Aurora Democrat Morgan Carroll, 51 percent to 43 percent.

Nov. 25: Colorado State Patrol Trooper Cody Donahue, 34, was killed by a passing vehicle while working a separate crash on I-25 south of Castle Rock. Hundreds of law enforcement officers attended Donahue’s memorial service Dec. 2. “Cody, we love you, we’re going to miss you,” state patrol Capt. Jeff Goodwin said during the service. The suspect, Noe Gamez-Ruiz, 41, was arrested and faces charges of careless driving resulting in death, a misdemeanor, and failure to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle, a traffic infraction.

Embrace what’s new as you strive for opportunities WINNING WORDS

on’t you just love that “new car” smell? Or what about tasting a delicious brand-new meal for the first time? How about seeing and reading the newest book by your favorite author or hearing a brand-new song by one of your favorite musicians or groups? And we know there is nothing like the feel of new snow and fresh powder under our feet as we take to the mountains.

There is just something about the “new” factor, isn’t there?

Well, here we are in a brand-new year. We

can choose to get caught up in last year, or the year before that, and the year before that, or we can choose to say that this is a new year, a new year filled with hope and prosperity. A new year filled with much love and many blessings. A new year where we can look forward to the opportunities and the challenges ahead.

Now some of you may be shaking your head and saying, “Wait a minute Norton, what about all of the changes, what about the new President, what about all of the bad stuff happening here and around the world?”

And my answer would still be the same, `It is a brand-new year.’

We can choose to get mired in the past, or focused on the negativity and problems, or we can open our eyes today and see a brandnew day, listen with our ears to the news sounds of tomorrow, and taste the sweetness of the air that rides on the wings of hope and encouragement. It almost has that “new car” smell, doesn’t it?

The expression “happy new year” was just one of a number that were considered.

Of course, 2017 may stand out in some ways that have never been seen before, if you know what I mean.

Individually, we have great years, good years, and not so

good years.

I can’t distinguish one year from the next, except for a few.

Some really stand out. Like 2008.

There were three immediate family deaths, I adopted Smitty, I made a big mistake, and I was given a major opportunity. One after the other after the other.

The year before and the year after are restless memories.

But I won’t forget 2008.

Maybe I make the same ones every year, subconsciously, like not buying a tiny Shriner motorcycle.

For me, I like “new,” I like change, I love challenges, and I embrace hope.

Sure, we have a world full of challenges and tragedy. No one disputes that, it’s just that some of us will look at those troubled situations and say there is nothing that can be done or just become overwhelmed. And yet others will look at the brand-new year and decide to do something productive to contribute to the change they want to see happen. Some of us will take the opportunity to see each a challenge or barrier as nothing

more than a speed bump or hurdle that needs to be overcome.

It is a brand-new year and we can be, do, and have anything that we want. The only person who can ever stop us is ourselves. We can try and deflect all problems onto someone else or something else, but at the end of the day it is ultimately up to each one of us to choose our path and hold ourselves accountable for doing what we need to do when we need to do it.

It is a brand-new year, can you smell it, taste it, hear it, see it, and feel it? Or have your senses been too

compromised or jaded from events of recent years? Either way I would love to hear all about your thoughts and plans for a brand-new 2017 at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can put the past behind us and instead look forward to the newness of the year, it really will be a better than good week.

The past year was a personal best, and I am hoping for more of the same. However, I am prepared for leaks.

There are always leaks.

An art exhibition is often planned years in advance. I will be having one in 2018. So the years intermix and sometimes I forget exactly which one this one is.

I don’t particularly like the sound of 2017. Not like I will 2020.

The numbers 17 and 70 are sometimes confused, because they sound alike.

I was confused the first time I heard “I Saw Her Standing There.”

TUMEY

Michael Alan Tumey December 13, 2016

Michael Alan Tumey, firefighter/EMT, health care worker, mountain climber and father, died on December 13, 2016, age 62.

Mike was born in Davenport, Iowa, and grew up in nearby Bettendorf. He first went to Alaska in 1973. After returning to Iowa to be with family, moved to Alaska for good in 1979.

He settled in Girdwood, where he was a painting contractor, served on Alyeska ski patrol and , most memorably served with the Girdwood Fire Department as chief and assistant chief at various times.

As part of the volunteer fire department, Mike saved many lives and helped many people who were hurt in crashes on the Seward Highway in accidents on the ski trails and or were suffering from other medical emergencies in the Girwood area. He was deeply affected by those lives he could not save, especially those of a woman and a baby who drowned in separate incidents in Turnagain COGGIN

Arm in 1988 and 1997.

After he moved to Anchorage in 1999, Mike worked as a nursing assistant for Prestige Care.

He was a caring health aide who gave comfort to elders in the twilight of their lives. Mike was also an avid outdoors man. He climbed many ice walls, rock faces and mountains in Alaska and elsewhere. He competed in iconic Alaska events like the Mount Marathon Race, the Lost Lake Breath of Life race and the Alyeska mountain Run. He passed on his love of the mountains to his children.

Mike was a dedicated environmentalist, and his passion was intensified by the Exxon Valdez spill.

He participated in public awareness campaigns, including one memorable protest at Exxon’s Anchorage headquarters.

He was part of a volunteer team that cleaned oil from Mars Cove in Cook Inlet, a project that was one of the bright spots in the Exxon Valdez response.

Mike is survived by his children, Jania and Martin Tumey of

Castle Rock teacher has kept feet dancing for decades Joanne Meade, 85, who has been a dancer and teacher for 70 years, says she has no plans to retire soon

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nestled in a corner of Castle Rock — past a hotel, a body shop and Douglas County Firearms along Park Street — sits a dance school that’s lived the ages.

The building seems to exude a sense of nostalgia and looks to be as much a museum of its owner’s life as it is a school.

But that’s not surprising: For Joanne Meade, dance has been a constant companion for 70 of her 85 years.

And for more than the past 25 years, she has shared her passion day in and day out with the students who have walked through the dance studio’s doors.

“Ballet has always been my life,” said Meade, a lively woman who pairs dark-rimmed glasses with her long white hair. “I don’t think I’d want to do anything else.”

She could have pursued her music degree or stuck with nursing, which she did for 18 years.

But Meade knows what she loves, she said, and has given her days to it.

Nurturing her passion Between the front entrance and the classroom, students must first pass through a hallway lined by memorabilia of her past.

There are photos of Meade’s mentors, many now gone, and other

Joanne Meade, 85, has been teaching dance for more than 60 years with no plans to retire soon.

JESSICA GIBBS renowned names in dance history.

Black-and-white glamour shots of a young Meade hang next to framed diplomas and plaques from her decorated career.

The classroom glitters with trophies.

Beaten, worn and torn ballet slippers hang from the walls.

And old-time music ranging from classical symphonies to songbirds of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s often echoes from the mirrored room where she teaches her craft.

Meade, who grew up in Atwood, Illinois, began teaching ballet in the summers as a junior in high school on the second floor of her grandmother’s barn.

She charged 50 cents a lesson and gradually raised fees to 75 cents.

In the following years, she studied music at Illinois Wesleyan University School of Music and dance at Millikin University in Illinois.

Then came a year in Naples, Italy, dancing for the San Carlo Ballet Company before stints with Chicago dance companies. Meade said she studied under names like Annette Van Dyke, a

longtime dance instructor at Millikin, and renowned Chicago tap dancers Tommy Sutton and Jimmy Payne.

Dances like tap and jazz were necessary to learn, she said, if she wanted to build a well-rounded school. That she has steadily done for the past few decades — and she’s not slowing down.

Meade has a list of classes she wants to add among her traditional offerings like ballet and tap. Those ideas include a class where new mothers can dance with their infants and classes for the blind or children with special needs.

Students come to her mostly through word of mouth and have ranged in age from young children to high school students to adults in their retirement.

‘The real dance’ Geri Domareck, 70, began studying with Meade before her son’s wedding.

“We always promised ourselves dance lessons,” Domareck said of she and her husband.

They began with ballroom but over time Domareck added new styles to her repertoire. A couple of years ago she took up tap and roughly six months ago began a ballet stretching class and beginner ballet.

Students say Meade is strict on technique.

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Meade led Domareck and two other classmates through their beginner ballet training.

Classical music filled the room as the three women poised themselves in front of a bar. With Meade demonstrating the moves, they flowed through ballet positions and stretches.

Meade was quick to correct bad form, making sure legs were straight when necessary and toes kept on the ground.

“She’s fabulous,” Domareck said.

“She teaches you the real dance.”

Betsy Gubbels of Franktown began taking classes after enrolling her three children in Meade’s classes.

Her son Adam, then in junior high school, had tried sports but didn’t find his niche, she said. One of his friends was a student of Meade’s and so he decided to try dancing. Soon after, his older sisters joined in their freshman and sophomore years of high school.

Gubbels began to notice her son’s feet never stopped moving.

“She knows where she wants to be with a student and if she hasn’t gotten there she doesn’t just lay back and say, `Close enough,’ ” Gubbels said. “She can be the iron maiden sometimes, but by golly she gets results.”

Today, peering at the history on her walls, Meade said she isn’t looking at retirement anytime soon.

“I haven’t died yet,” Meade said with a laugh.

South Metro Fire Rescue sends 20 grads into service New first responders went through weeks of training

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Justin Laborde wanted to be like Superman one day.

And now he can.

“To me, the firefighters that would come in my neighborhood were like Superman,” Laborde said. “So, growing up and being into comics and superheroes, naturally I wanted to be Superman, and this was the job to do just that.”

Laborde was one of 22 new firefighters who recently joined South Metro Fire Rescue Authority after a Dec. 2 graduation at Parker’s PACE Center that culminated a 16week training program .

Since August, the recruits received classroom instruction and underwent training for physical fitness at the SMFR training facility in Parker. Experienced firefighters led the students through realistic drills in controlled environments, preparing them for actual firefighting and rescue scenarios.

The graduates will be assigned to one of 17 SMFR stations throughout the district, which serves more than 203,500 residents across 179 square miles of Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

Several recruits have already shown their commitment to serving others through military service, teaching, coaching school sports programs and volunteering in their communities, according to South metro Fire Chief Bob Baker.

“Being a firefighter is much

more than a job or even a profession — it’s truly a calling for individuals to serve,” Baker said. “We are so happy to have them be part of our organization.”

The new graduates are: Aaron Allen Paul Costello Kyle Hebert Patrick Hendrix Erik Johansson Derek Jordan Nicholas Kuhn Justin Laborde Jared Lombardi Curtis Moxley Robert Mulroney Andrew Pavone Todd Plumer Christopher Riggs Kevin Seitz Alexander (Cole) Soli Robert Sorensen Korey Springer Steven Tingey Ian Watters

Firefighter and paramedic Eric Bleeker leads the South Metro Fire Rescue Pipes and Drums group into the PACE Center in Parker to start the Dec. 2 graduation ceremony with traditional fire service music.

Trainees in the 16-week program were led through realistic drills by experienced instructors to prepare for real-life emergencies.

Yogis hold tree pose in a Holy Yoga class led by Amber Jaworsky, of Highlands Ranch. “The exercises of yoga are designed to put pressure on the glandular systems of the body, thereby increasing efficiency and total body health,” said Jaworsky.

‘Spiritual seekers’ Many turn to yoga for its meditative, spiritual and health benefits

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Amber Jaworsky recalls a recent Holy Yoga class she taught at Mountain View Church in Highlands Ranch. During her class, she quoted Proverbs 19:11.

“A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.”

When she taught a yoga class at CorePower Yoga, a secular studio, Jaworsky relayed a similar message without the religious context.

“I want to talk with you today about being easily offended,” said Jaworsky, who teaches at the studio at Quebec Street and County Line Road in Centennial. “The reason I feel like this is even a noteworthy theme for our class is

that it’s something that absolutely robs us and keeps us stuck and small-minded.”

Jaworsky, who has been practicing yoga for about 14 years, has found that yoga and her Christian faith complement each other. In certain settings she combines the two, other times she does not. But in all of her classes, she relays a deeper message.

“I noticed that once your body is quiet, is still, then your mind kind of follows suit,” she said. “It stops spinning, being so agitated or focused on other things. All of a sudden your soul is open to receive and able to connect.”

Yoga serves many different purposes for people, Jaworsky said, including managing stress, learning to relax, becoming more selfaware or becoming more God-aware.

“Not all who come to their mats are seeking

a spiritual connection,”she said. “But I would say that most people that have adopted yoga into their lifestyle are ‘spiritual seekers.’”

THREE POSES FOR BEGINNERS AND WHAT THEY MEAN 1. Mountain pose: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and reach up toward the sky with your fingers, palms facing inwards.

What it means: According to LIVESTRONG, a nonprofit organization dedicated to healthy living, mountain pose translates into feeling strong and grounded.

“A mountain might experience snow, wind, rain and heat, but it remains a mountain just the same,”

livestrong.com says. “In the same way, Mountain pose can help you work toward calmness and equilibrium even during tumultuous times.”

2. Child’s pose: Kneel on the floor with your torso resting on your thighs. Extend your arms in front of you, palms resting on the floor.

What it means: Child’s pose is a resting pose that creates quiet tran-

quility. “Granting yourself the quiet time to be still allows your mind, heart and body to reintegrate, creating a sweet and satisfying wholeness,” Livestrong.com says.

3. Warrior pose: Step your feet wide apart, about 4 to 5 feet. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees, so your toes are pointing to the top of the mat. Bend your right knee over your right ankle. Pivot your left foot inwards at a 45-degree angle. Reach

out with both of your arms.

What it means: Warrior pose helps physical strength and is a spiritual expression of the interior battles a person fights, according to livestrong.com. Warrior postures allow you to embody the idea of courage, bravery and strength, the website says.

YOGA FROM PAGE 13

Yoga, the practice of breathing, meditation and distinctive body poses that challenge one’s flexibility, originated in ancient India more than 5,000 years ago. It has roots in Hinduism and Buddhism.

The activity has become increasingly popular in past years, fitness experts say, because of its health advantages.

Yoga Journal, an American media company devoted to yoga, says the activity boosts muscle strength and immunity, benefits posture, increases blood flow, improves balance, aids sleep and more.

Aside from the physical benefits, yoga is a spiritual practice that tunes into one’s inner self, according to mindbodygreen, a lifestyle media brand.

“Sincere spiritual investigation is a journey to your center,” its website says.

“Along the road, all of your attachments and aversions will be challenged.”

Matt Shetzer’s pair of contentious eagles illustrates his skill at photographing raptors, among the wildlife photography topics which he will discuss for the Englewood Camera Club when members meet at 7 p.m. on Jan. 10 at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 6400 S. University Blvd., Centennial. at the MACC Boardroom, (theatre entrance), Mizel Community Center, 350 S. Dahlia St., Denver. They will talk about aging and dying and why conversation about that emotional journey is so important. The “estate plan of the heart,” is a name for their presentation. RSVP to Suzi Malman, 303-316-6358.

Apprentice program David Taylor’s Zikr Dance Ensemble will hold auditions for an apprentice program for dancers, age 16 and over, at 2 p.m. on Sunday Jan. 15 at Denver Ballet Theatre and Centerstage Starz Studio, 8150 S. University Blvd., Centennial.

Admission by invitation only. Dancers will take a five-week class from May 15 through June 17, following auditions. Dancers will appear in Zikr’s 2017 performances. Tuition

This is the case for Wendy Crichton, a Highlands Ranch resident who has practiced yoga for more than 20 years.

She describes her yoga practice as a “beautiful sort of chaotic and everchanging experience.”

“I learn new things every single time I practice,” said Crichton, who also founded Young Yogis, a yoga program for children. “It makes my heart soar and smile. Sometimes it brings me close to tears and brings up some pretty painful stuff that I’ve tried to bury.”

Crichton said religion and yoga are two separate experiences for her. Her core belief of yoga is to bring her body, heart and mind together for an experience of wellness and wholeness, she said.

“Throughout my 25 years of practice, it has changed for me profoundly, and where I am today is probably not where I’ll be in a few years,” she said. “Right now, my yoga is a non-dogmatic exploration of the best `me’ I can become.”

Jaworsky knows that preaching a gospel message at her secular yoga studio wouldn’t be agreeable for everyone.

Bikram: A set of 26 poses performed in a heated room.

Vinyasa: A popular practice that moves quickly from pose to pose.

Source: Fitness Magazine She points out that in her experience, yoga and faith have complemented each other, which is why she also teaches yoga classes at a local church and leads women’s faith and fitness retreats in the mountains.

“I feel like the platform of instructing yoga allows me to share my life and love with yoga students in the secular community and faith community,” she said. “It’s a rich blessing for me and it fills my heart with joy to help people feel lighter from their burdens and more relaxed.”

COWBOY FROM PAGE 17

moved around a bit before finding its current, hopefully permanent, home at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, where it will run from Jan. 19 through Jan. 22 with the theme “Where the West Lives — Golden, Colorado.”

There will be three evening performances, two full days of theme sessions and a final-day Sunday matinee featuring a cast of cowboy poets and musicians from the American West, Canada and Australia, according to publicist Jerry Cunningham.

The tradition of cowboy poetry developed on cattle drives and at ranches,

where workers would gather around a campfire at night and entertain themselves and each other with folk songs and stories — sometimes tall tales about adventures.

Performers this year include Floyd Beard, Jon Chandler, Doc Mehl, D.W. Groethe, Kristyn Harris, Suzie Knight, Liz Masterson and more, some of whom we have seen/heard at the Littleton Museum over the years.

The gathering begins on the evening of Jan. 19 with a members-only “meet and greet” reception and sampler showcase at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden.

On the remaining three days, activities move to the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, which has a large amount of free parking. (710 10th St.,

Golden.)

• Jan. 20 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. — Themed Daytime Sessions with numerous performers 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — Campfire Cooking Lunch 7:30 p.m. — Jon Chandler will host a program that includes Rodney Nelson, Kristyn Harris, D.W. Groethe, Doris Daley, Jill Jones and Friends.

• Jan. 21 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. — Themed Daytime Sessions 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — Campfire Cooking Lunch 7:30 p.m. — Pop Wagner with Skip Gorman, Yvonne Hollenbeck, Richard Elloyan and Steve Wade, Carol Heuchan and the Flying W Wranglers • Jan. 22

1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. — Doc Mehl with Floyd Beard, Susie Knight, Yampa Valley Boys, Liz Masterson and Gary McMahan in matinee show Tickets are available as a weekend pass or for individual events: ColoradoCowboyGathering.com A three day cinch-making class with Pop Wagner will be held Jan. 20-22 at the Golden Quilt Company, 1108 Washington Ave. Wagner will teach basic design, plus woven and combination technique cinches.

Sabercats girls basketball team has ‘a good mix’ Castle View coach hopes squad will go further than Sweet 16

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle View girls basketball coach Matt Hema doesn’t care if anybody pays attention to his team.

“For us, this is the year we could kind of sneak up on some teams that don’t know too much about us,” said Hema following a 55-52 non-league loss to Valor Christian on Dec. 20 as the Sabercats wrapped up the pre-holiday schedule with a 7-4 record. ”Obviously a loss like the one against Valor is going to push us to the back burner a little bit, which is fine.

We’re kind of under the radar and that’s kind of where we want to be.

We’ll get ready for the (Continental) league.”

Castle View has 21 days between games before resuming action Jan. 10 with a non-league encounter at home against Prairie View.

“We have a good mix of kids this season,” continued Hema. “We are basically playing three seniors, three juniors, three sophomores. Really eight girls are playing the majority of time, but it’s a good combination of kids.

“The team is pretty unselfish. They do move the ball and find the open man but then you have to make the play, put the ball in the basket or it doesn’t count.”

SEE BASKETBALL, P32

Local girls rank high in state swimming STAFF REPORT

Top 20 Colorado girls swimming times were released by PrepSwimCo.com prior to the holiday break, and several area athletes ranked either one or two in both Class 5A and 4A. Arapahoe senior Laurel Eiber has the second fastest Class 5A times in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events with clockings of 23.50 and 51.28. The Warriors 400 freestyle relay team has the state best time of 3:30.57.

Patricia Van of ThunderRidge swam a 5:07.64 in the 500 freestyle, which is the second best in the state, and teammate Kaleigh Haworth was second in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:05.11 time.

Mountain Vista junior Natalie Arky has the second fastest time in the 100 backstroke of 56.34 while Rock Canyon’s Makenna Mathieson’s time of 2:10.32 ranks second in the 200 IM. Taylor Jackson of Mountain Range has the best diving score of 526.60 followed by Lexie Barker of Douglas County/Castle View with a 479.10 total.

In the team rankings, Fossil Ridge was first.

Arapahoe was third, Rock Canyon sixth, Cherry Creek ninth and ThunderRidge 10th.

In Class 4A, two Heritage swimmers have recorded the best times so far in the state.

Kyle Andrews is tops in the 100 freestyle at 50.28 while Lizzie Hunt has the best time of 59.04 in the 100 backstroke. Heritage’s Emma Spotts is second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.81.

Valor Christian also had two swimmers ranked first in the state. Senior Madison Hoehn’s 57.43 time in the 200 butterfly is tops and junior Abbey Owenby is first in the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:05.55.

Owenby is second in the 200 freestyle at 1:54.26 and sophomore Lindsay Stenstrom’s time of 24.38 is second in the 50 freestyle. Valor has the best time of 3:32.78 in the 400 freestyle relay.

Sophomore Kyriana Chambo of the Highlands Ranch team has the second best diving score of 466.70.

Class 4A team rankings found Valor second behind Cheyenne Mountain. Heritage was fourth and Highlands Ranch ninth.

Magness Arena will host hockey semifinals, finals STAFF REPORT

Magness Arena at the University of Denver will host this spring’s Colorado High School State Hockey semifinals and finals.

According to CHSAANow.com, the Final Four will move from the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland to Magness as part of an agreement between the Colorado High School Activities Association and the Colorado Avalanche.

The semifinals this year will be held on March 3 with the championship game set for March 6, and all three games will be hosted by the Avalanche.

Hockey semifinals and finals were hosted by DU in 2012 and 2014 at Magness, which has a seating capacity of 6,026 fans.

The semifinals and title game could move to the 18,007seat Pepsi Center, home of the Denver Nuggets and Avalanche, starting for the 2017-18 season if dates become available. If dates are booked by the professional teams, DU would continue to host the final three games of the prep hockey season.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 20

A glance at the balanced team statistics shows it’s hard for opponents to focus on any one player.

McKay Vansickle, a 5-foot-6 junior, leads the team in scoring with a 9.0 scoring average, followed by Hema’s daughter, 6-2 sophomore Madison Hema, at 8.7 points per game. Forward India Cole, a 5-11 sophomore, chips in eight points a game, with 5-10 senior guard Brandi Bain at 6.8 and 5-10 junior Alexis Walker scoring 5.1 points a game.

Rebounds are equally balanced, with Hema grabbing 8.4 rebounds a game and 6-3 senior Jess Brown at 6.8, Walker 5.6 and Cole 4.6.

Hannah Cushman, a 5-11 senior, and 5-6 junior Abby Cooley top the 11-game statistics in assists with 3.4 a game, while 5-6 Bain hands out 2.7 each contest.

“There is definitely poten-

tial for this year,” said coach Hema. “A lot of these girls played together in the summer, trying to build some chemistry. We’ve played pretty well.

“We played a bad game at Monarch, went to Vegas and played four really good games there. We had a stretch of six games where we played really well, won five and lost one. We lost to Bishop Gorman, which is one of the best teams in Nevada. We’ve played pretty good defense.”

Castle View advanced to the Sweet 16 of the state playoffs in 2013 and 2014 and hopes to advance further this season.

“It’s a matter of getting over the hump,” said the coach. “That’s kind of our theme a little bit for this year is to try to push further than Castle View has ever gone before. This is a team that can do it.

“But if we play like we did against Valor, just not in any kind of flow or rhythm, it’s going to be hard to beat some of the tough, upper teams.”

Brandi Bain, Castle View’s senior guard who is averaging 6.8 points a game, attempts to save the ball from going out of play along the baseline during a Dec. 20 game against Valor Christian. The Titans took a 7-4 record into the holiday break and have a 21-day layoff before resuming action Jan. 10 against Prairie View.
