‘Part of a nice evening’

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The attire varied from shorts and sweatshirts to formal dresses and suits as about 100 young men and women attended the annual after-prom event at Englewood High School.

Araya Miller attended her first prom and her first after prom.

“This is part of a nice evening,” she said. “The prom was fun because I got to dance a lot and I love to dance. This after prom is fun too. The food was good and there is a lot to do. All this makes it worth staying up all night.”

Kelly Prien headed the group of volunteers

that organized and put on after prom.

Prien said the decorations at the entrance were donated and they were awesome with a theme about water, the beach and characters like “Father Neptune.”

There was free food, games and activities.

Students were given raffle tickets to fill out and there was an array of items that were given away during the night.

Prien said she and the other parents at the event felt after prom went well.

“There were quite a few kids who joined us,” she said. “I was there and from watching them and from the comments from the kids, it seemed like everyone had a good time.”

C-470 project gets federal loan

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The expansion of C-470 is getting financing from the federal government.

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner announced on May 1 that a $109 million loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation had been award-

ed to the Colorado Department of Transportation for the project, which will add tolled express lanes between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard.

The funding is provided under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, which leverages federal money to attract non-federal capital funding

MY NAME IS

a boon for the expansion, which began late last year and is expected to be completed in 2019.

“We did not have all of the funding assembled for the project,” she said.

CDOT plans to repay the loans with tolls collected from the express lanes, which has been the model for funding the construction all along.

WonSavage has 18 years of experience in human resources and previously held roles with South Metro Fire Rescue and Mental Health Center of Denver. He has a bachelor’s degree in communications and business from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota and a master’s degree in human resources and project management from Regis University.

From there, I hope to go to CU Anschutz and pursue a doctorate in physical therapy. I worked in sales and sales management for years and didn’t want to do any of that nonsense anymore.

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highline Canal Conservancy unveiled its final vision plan for the future of the canal and trail at a ceremony Denver’s Mamie D. Eisenhower Park on April 28.

“The Highline Canal’s meandering 71 miles will be preserved as a cherished greenway,” Highline Canal Conservancy Board Chair Nina Beardsley Itin said.

Over the decades, the canal has been transformed from a utilitarian agricultural irrigation canal into one of the longest continuous urban trails in the country, popular with cyclists, runners, dog walkers and horseback riders. Still, the conservancy says

work needs to be done to preserve it in the future.

The conservancy spent the past year drafting the plan with input from users of the trail and officials of the many jurisdictions the trail passes through on its winding path from Waterton Canyon to Green Valley Ranch.

The vision plan sets objectives for the canal’s future, such as establishing models for long-term management and funding, strengthening partnerships between the various jurisdictions the canal cuts through and providing roles for citizen input and stewardship.

The vision plan has been endorsed

by Denver Water as well as the many jurisdictions the canal touches: Arapahoe and Douglas counties, Denver, Centennial, Littleton, Aurora, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch Metro District and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

The full plan can be found at www. highlinecanal.org/vision/.

A seed library is just what it sounds like — patrons check out seeds, plant them in their garden, save some seeds from the plants they grow, and return those seeds back to the library.

A wall of envelopes full of fruit, vegetable and flower seeds in Lewis & Cluck Critter Goods comprises what appears to be the only permanent seed library in the Denver area.

Lewis & Cluck employee and founder of the seed library Nickolas Paullus learned about the idea while living in Manitou Springs, where the public library hosts a seed library.

“It was a great resource for the community,” Paullus said, who has

spent the last 10 years working on farms or in greenhouses, honing his green thumb.

He received the blessing from his boss to start it, and began distributing seeds in January.

“It’s a good way to give back to the community that everyone can benefit from,” said Lewis & Cluck owner Pete McClintock.

Most of the varieties in Lewis & Cluck’s library are tolerant of drought and cold weather.

“I like the idea of truly local varietals,” Paullus said.

In conjunction with the seed library, he has begun hosting classes on how to use it.

“My mom and grandma taught me the art of seed-saving,” he said.

One benefit of local seed libraries is that the seeds come from a stock grown in the same climate where they are to be planted.

“You can get seed from a seed company, but you don’t know that was grown in a super-humid place back east,” Paullus said.

Centennial murder suspect pleads guilty Kevin Lyons, accused in doctor’s death, to get life sentence

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Asked how he pleaded to the charge that he murdered Dr. Kenneth Atkinson 13 months ago, Kevin Lee Lyons replied, “guilty, your honor” to Judge Carlos Samour Jr. The 47-year-old Centennial man would repeat “guilty” 15 more times in an Arapahoe County courtroom the afternoon of May 4. He had agreed to a deal that means he will never leave prison for his actions April 4, 2016, when he not only fatally shot Atkinson but also shot and injured his own wife, Elizabeth Lyons, and another neighbor, Laurie Juergens.

In addition to pleading guilty to first-degree murder in the shooting death of Atkinson, a well-known doctor who lived next door to him in the quiet Homestead Farm II subdivision, Kevin Lyons pleaded guilty to multiple counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault and two crime-of-violence sentencing enhancements.

For Atkinson’s death, he will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole next month. For the other charges, he will receive a total of 352 years in prison.

“At the end of the day, this was a guy who committed a cold-blooded, heinous murder, and but for the grace of God would have killed other neighbors and two law enforcement officers,” 18th Judicial District Lyons Attorney George Brauchler said after the plea.

The shooting was preceded by several days of “erratic” behavior

by Kevin Lyons, Elizabeth Lyons told investigators.

“My husband just snapped,” she told them when they interviewed her in the hospital.

Elizabeth Lyons said that Kevin Lyons had been angered by her suggestion that he go to a hospital for mental health issues, came upstairs from their basement with a gun, told her to leave and began firing as she ran toward Juergens’ house, across the street, where the neighbor was gardening in the front yard.

Elizabeth Lyons was found bleeding on Juergens’ porch.

Juergens sustained a gunshot wound to her face and first hid in a window well before making her way to her backyard and into her house.

Atkinson, who came outside to help the shooting victims, was shot in the leg, arm and torso, and finally, in the head.

Shot at but uninjured were neighbors Lesa McKenzie and Craig Johnson, and Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office Deputies Tim Klisnick and Frank Morgan.

During a preliminary hearing last August, deputies and investigators testified that Kevin Lyons chanted, prayed out loud and spoke in nonsensical terms about the Bible, both at the scene and in an interview room at department headquarters later, and that witnesses had told them that he sang and yelled about the Bible during the shooting and referred to his wife as “the devil.”

Kevin Lyons pleaded guilty to two attempted-murder counts each for Elizabeth Lyons, Juergens, Klisnick, Morgan and McKenzie; one each for a deliberate attempted murder; and one for an act of malice likely to lead to their deaths.

He also pleaded guilty to firstdegree assault against both Elizabeth Lyons and Juergens.

Kevin Lyons pleaded not guilty to all of the charges in March, and his public defenders informed the court that they would introduce expert testimony on his mental health condition during trial. The day of the guilty plea, 63 days from the date of his original plea, was also the last day for Brauchler to decide if he would seek the death penalty.

Kevin Lyons was scheduled to be sent for an evaluation at Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo prior to the trial.

CMHIP staff also evaluated his mental state last year, after which Samour ruled him competent to stand trial.

Brauchler said that the defense team had been interested in a plea deal since December.

“There’s no doubt in my mind he’s good for every charge we leveled against him and to which he pleaded guilty today,” the district attorney said.

Kevin Lyons chose not to make a statement with his plea, and none of the victims or their families addressed the court either.

However, victims are likely to speak at the sentencing, for which a half-day of court time has been set aside.

Sentencing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. June 5.

BUSINESS

Creating their own path Young entrepreneurs explore beginnings of business ownership in metro Denver

‘It is more about your team than it is about anything else.’

Clifton Oertli, owner of Resolute Brewing Co.

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clifton Oertli, 32, started his own programming and web development business when he was in high school.

His business involved buying and selling items on eBay. Today, he owns two businesses in metro Denver: Resolute Brewing Co. and NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. Beck Halbeisen and Vincent Rowe, both 18, recently started an app-based business. The app, Leave No Car Behind, is an Uber-like ride program that will not only take someone home, but will also get their car home. The app is made to get drunken drivers off the road.

Oertli, Halbeisen and Rowe are among those taking advantage of a strong climate for young entrepreneurs in the Denver metro area.

In 2016, Denver was ranked by NerdWallet.com, a website that focuses on personal finance, as the fourth best city in the country for young entrepreneurs. Researchers weighed multiple factors, with Denver ranking high because of an educated population, a strong economy and a high rate of loan guarantees by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Denver also was ranked by Forbes magazine in 2016 as the best place in the nation for businesses and careers.

The magazine pointed to Denver’s ability to provide a good “work-life balance,” something that millennials value most in their careers, according to the article.

Madhavan Parthasarathy is the director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver. He has noticed a shift of millennial interest in entrepreneurship, stating that it is “growing tremendously.”

Parthasarathy said an entrepreneur is largely defined by the mindset he or she possesses.

“An entrepreneur is someone who

has a certain level of passion and a mindset that is curious enough to actually learn new things, be willing and open to different types of jobs and functions and able to actually take risks,” he said.

And, he believes, there is a specific set of skills an entrepreneur must possess. Among the skills are sharp thinking and the ability to make quick decisions.

An entrepreneur, he said, is someone willing to “do marketing, run finance, sweep the floors and do whatever is required to run the business.”

Entrepreneur from the start After hawking items on eBay, Oertli moved into a new project in college and joined a web startup company where he developed websites for the next five years.

Oertli, a Littleton resident, graduated with an engineering degree and decided to pursue a path in engineering. He worked at NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. in Wheat Ridge for five years before purchasing it along with four co-workers.

Just two years ago, Oertli decided to add something new and different to the mix by opening Resolute in Centennial with three other owners.

Running an engineering firm and a brewing company concurrently requires different mindsets, Oertli said.

“It is a big shift going from managing introvert engineers to managing extrovert creative types in the brewery,” Oertli said.

And people, Oertli knows, are the most important part of entrepreneurship.

“It is more about your team than it is about anything else,” Oertli said.

“The market, the product — every-

thing else is secondary to the team.”

The secret to a good team, Oertli has found, is diversity of both opinion and personality types.

“If you have your entire team comprised of people with the same personality type, they are all going to approach a problem with the same mindset,” Oertli said. “A different thought process might help you see a problem from a different perspective that one personality type might not see it from.”

Oertli’s people-focused drive is aimed to empower and encourage his team. Details of business are secondary.

“A lot of your problems will be solved by your team,” Oertli said. “Give Halbeisen them the right tools and give them the motivation to work hard.”

Oertli knew all his partners for years before going into business with them. Some he knew when he was 14.

Oertli defines entrepreneurship as creating a career that an individual Rowe is passionate about.

“To me, it has always meant that I get to make my vocation what it is that I enjoy doing,” Oertli said. “I can structure my career, my day and my teams around what I want to be doing every day.”

Big challenges, new solutions Halbeisen, a senior at Standley Lake High School in Westminster, and Rowe, a senior at Pomona High School in Arvada, are going to Metropolitan State University next year and hope

“Being an entrepreneur has been a goal,” Halbeisen said. “I didn’t think it would happen this early, but we are both fortunate for this to happen.”

In starting their business, Halbeisen and Rowe agreed that there needed to be a way to get drunken drivers off the road.

“We want the roads to be safer at night,” Rowe said. “The main reason that people justify drunk driving is so that they can get their car home.”

The app the teens created to solve N the problem works by having two peo- s ple arrive, one to drive the individual o home and the other to drive their car home. The service, currently running in Denver and Santa Fe, New Mexico, has a base cost of $30 and adds an extra $2.10 for every mile driven.

Both Halbeisen’s and Rowe’s families have been affected by drunken driving.

Halbeisen’s grandfather, who was a state patrol officer, almost died in an accident involving a drunken driver, he said. After pulling a driver over one evening, a drunken driver drove off the road and pinned his grandfather against the other car.

Rowe said his cousin was a passenger in a vehicle and died in a drunken driving accident in 2016.

Halbeisen’s father, an app developer, gave the teens the necessary resources to create the app, which launched in March.

Starting this month and continuing into the summer, new cities are being added to the app: Des Moines, Iowa; Phoenix; Philadelphia; New York; and Dallas.

The two are exploring other ways to market their services, focusing on helping patients from a hospital get a ride home after a procedure.

Halbeisen and Rowe have been part of the driving team for their budding business. They said that even though they get calls at 3 a.m. on weeknights, it will be worth it in the long run.

“We want to take this as far as we can,” Rowe said.

They have already learned lessons about starting a business.

Rite Aid now open in Englewood New store includes drive-through pharmacy

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The crowd and balloons caused many drivers to slow down to check out what was going on May 4 during the ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the new Rite Aid location at U.S. Highway 285 and South Clarkson Street.

The ribbon cutting was a big event for Englewood because the former fitness center building had been empty for more than 10 years. It was a morethan $6 million project to construct the 14,600-square-foot Rite Aid. “This is a great addition to our community,” Councilmember Linda Olson said during the ribbon cutting. “This area just sat empty for so long. We are so happy Rite Aid is here. We think it is a great location that is now part of our medical district.”

Chris Viscardi of the Kentro Group said the firm had been working for quite awhile looking for a location for a new Rite Aid. “We like the location for Rite Aid because it was so near the two hospitals, Craig and Swedish,” he said. “It was also a good location because it was right on the highway and easily accessible.”

He said the site presented some challenges. He said after demolition, the company had to have a sewer line and overhead power line moved be-

Neill Woest, Rite Aid pharmacy district manager, cuts the ribbon during the May 4 grand opening ceremony for the new Rite Aid store at U.S. 285 and South Clarkson Street. Woest was joined by city councilmembers, Englewood police officers and employees of the new Rite Aid location.

TOM MUNDS fore construction could begin. He said there were topographic challenges because the east side of the site followed the downhill angle of Clarkson.

Yanni Bellis, a 1996 Englewood High School graduate, is a principal in the Kentro Group. He said he is pleased the company had the opportunity to complete a project that he feels will be an asset to the community where he lived for many years.

The inside of the new store is bright

and colorful.

“This is a typical Rite Aid store,” store manager Tim Ramsey said.

“We offer a wide variety of products, including personal hygiene items and convenience foods. We are open, ready to serve our customers and work to be good neighbors to the area and the community.”

Susan Gann said she just moved to the neighborhood and took the opportunity to pick up a few things at the

newly opened store.

“This is a very nice store. I love that it is so bright and that the aisles are wide for easy shopping,” she said.

“The store is well designed and a good addition to our neighborhood.”

The store is open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. seven days a week. Pharmacy hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Student Society tutoring firm receives city grant Englewood funding program has aim of assisting new businesses

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Student Society, a company created

by Grace Peil to provide individual tutoring for middle- and high-school students, recently became the first business in the city to be approved to receive a $2,500 business initiation grant from Englewood’s community relations department.

“This grant is part of the remake of the department’s economic development program. It is a way for the city to invest in startup businesses that have their doors open and have completed the small business training programs,” said Darren Hollingsworth, economic development manager. “The grant was created as a way for the city to invest in startup businesses at a critical time for those businesses.”

Inside the spacious Student Society location there are tables and chairs, a couch and individual chairs and pillows set up around the main room. In the back there is a small kitchen and

refrigerator, but plans are to change that.

“I cried when I told my mother I had received the grant,” Peil said. “This makes many of my ideas possible. I am talking with the construction company in this building about all the ideas I have to spruce up the place with office study cubbies and other little amenities, including a real kitchen and an office cubicle for each of our tutors.”

Grace Peil spent several years teaching and began her Student Society business from her home in 2014 before opening the main office and study hall at 4850 S. Broadway.

On April 26 she took time to talk about her experience teaching school and the new business she founded.

“I started teaching school right after I graduated with a degree in math education from Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida,” she said. “I taught in an inner-city school near West Palm Beach, got married and came to Colorado to be with my husband who was getting his master’s degree from the University of Denver.

I taught school in the Denver area and became frustrated because there were about 30 kids in a class who needed tutoring and there wasn’t enough time to help them all. I had been tutoring on the side since college so I decided to do

it full time.”

She said she worked for a learning center for a couple years and then decided that wasn’t how she felt tutoring should be done.

“At learning centers, you come in, do your time and leave,” Peil said. “Here at Student Society it is more like a support system for our students. We text message each other all the time. We do face time to talk about issues, they use their phones to send me pictures of their homework and we work to solve the problems they are having with it. The tutors are available to email or face time to help them with class problems. I even have an online white board so we can go through their homework to make sure they understand it.”

Peil has about 10 other tutors who work for her. Most of them travel and do the tutoring at the student’s home but Peil and some of the tutors meet with students at the Student Society location on South Broadway. The Student Society tutors currently work with about 25 to 30 students. Most of the students are from Littleton or other Arapahoe County schools.

Peil said Student Society does subject tutoring and test preparation and also offers a two-hour study skills class.

It was library-like quiet April 26 as Arapahoe High School junior Sarah Lorenzen worked on a test as part of her tutoring session with Peil in preparation for the science portion of the ACT test.

“I was having some problems with school so my mom signed me up for tutoring,” Lorenzen said. “I went to a company tutoring sessions for a while but then we switched to Student Society. I love Student Society. The tutoring has helped me raise my grades. We study hard but it also is so friendly here and I look at Grace as a friend as well as a tutor.”

Lorenzen has been coming to Student Society for about six months.

“I am a much better student now than when I started coming here,” she said. “I am better able to pass the tests but I also am more aware of the subject of the test. Tutoring here also has dramatically changed my idea of how to study. I didn’t really know how to study before I came here so Grace could work with me.”

The junior said she is working hard to improve her grades because her desire is to go to college and become a teacher.

Entrepreneur, ‘outsider’ plans to win governor’s race Victor Mitchell believes business background sets him apart

of our whole regulatory scheme and try to open up pathways where young people can go into vocational careers and provide for their families,” he said.

Mitchell recalls half as many businesses being regulated when he was in office, and he’d like to see the economy trend that way again.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

He describes himself as the outsider candidate with the advantage of being a businessman rather than a career politician.

He says he knows what it’s like to be poor, but today enjoys leading what he calls one of the most successful privatelyowned small businesses in Colorado.

Victor Mitchell, an entrepreneur from Castle Rock and a former state Mitchell legislator, has turned his focus to running for governor of Colorado. And, he says, he’s in the race to win.

Just don’t ask Mitchell, 51, to campaign on Fridays. That’s when he delivers food to homebound seniors for Meals on Wheels, a commitment he won’t budge on.

“Frankly,” he said of the volunteering, “it just makes me a better person.”

The rest of the week, Mitchell, a Republican, spends 10 hours a day on the campaign trail in his quest to replace Gov. John Hickenlooper, who can’t seek re-election in November 2018 because of term limits.

“Meeting people around the state, listening to what they’d like to see from their next CEO,” Mitchell said.

He also takes that time to share what he calls some bold ideas for Colorado.

Mitchell wants to ease pressure on residents he believes have “poor earning power” thanks to an over-regulated economy.

“I want to do a top-to-bottom review

The public and private sector Mitchell took office in the state House in 2007, serving for only one term before choosing not to seek reelection. Although he referred to it as a great experience, Republicans were the minority and he decided he could accomplish more outside of government, he said.

In 2011, he led a statewide campaign opposing Proposition 103, a ballot measure that would have raised state income and sales taxes for education funding. It was ultimately defeated in a landslide.

But Mitchell has been busy in nongovernmental affairs as well.

Over the past 30 years he’s founded or led six companies, from a transportation company to a telecommunications firm. In 2009, he began his private financing company, Lead Funding, of which he is the chief executive officer. The company offers private financing for real estate investors.

“I have the perfect blend of public and private sector experience,” he said. “That sets me apart from all my opponents.”

A crowded race Among the more than a dozen declared candidates for governor are well-known names such as longtime Congressman Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican from Parker.

Mitchell isn’t intimidated by competing with big names, however. He’s got strong, conservative credentials,

he said, and a voting record to prove it.

Last year’s presidential race was the first time he didn’t vote for the Republican candidate at the top of the ticket, he said. When it came to Trump, he “just couldn’t get there the way he spoke about women.”

“I’ve been a conservative Republican my whole life,” he said, “although, I’m fiercely independent as well.”

Aside from being a viable conservative candidate for voters, he said, his business experience gives him the ability to work with diverse minds — and opinions — and focus on problemsolving rather than politics.

Former state legislator Al White, a Republican from Hayden who served alongside Mitchell in the House, backed up his claims.

“I found him to be a very pragmatic, solution-oriented kind of guy,” he said. “He seemed to me like he was more interested in solving problems than he was getting bogged down in partisan politics, which to me is a big plus.”

Al Roberson, a former employee of Mitchell’s transportation company who now lives in Highlands Ranch, said Mitchell’s business background sets him up to be that problem-solver, which government needs more of, he said.

“That’s why I’m excited to see more of the mindset of people like Victor running for office,” he said. “If we can get him to the finish line, wow, that would be exciting.”

Mitchell believes he’s got a real shot at accomplishing that.

“I’m not concerned about my opponents,” Mitchell said. “None of them will have my set of life experiences.”

Humble beginnings The entrepreneurial bug has been with Mitchell from a young age, partially driven by a need to make ends meet.

At 11 years old, with the family liv-

ing in New York, Mitchell’s parents broke up. His mother, who is blind and deaf, moved to California. Mitchell moved with his mother to help care for her, leaving behind his father and two sisters. In California, he and his mother nearly experienced homelessness. They moved often.

By 13 years old, he was working to help support them both, and continued to do so through high school and college.

“It shaped me tremendously,” he said of helping care for his mother. “It teaches you that you have to have a lot of empathy for people that are marginalized. I was marginalized. My mother was marginalized. And let me tell you, it’s not very fun being poor.”

At 21, he started his first company as a junior in college, a transportation and limousine service company, and his entrepreneurship grew from there. He hasn’t worked for anyone else since.

Looking ahead Mitchell has been out of public office for eight years. But he’s back, and with a gameplan.

In addition to combating regulation, he also foresees a 20-year transportation plan for the state, and a budget review for the Colorado Department of Transportation. He’d transform the Legislative Audit Committee into a performance review committee to look for overspending, he said, and hopefully find serious dollars to shift for transportation funding rather than grow government spending.

Mostly, Mitchell said, he believes he can improve people’s lives as governor.

And don’t bother asking him why he’s not seeking a lower office to fulfill that mission. He’ll respond with a quick chuckle and a simple “no.”

“I’m an executive,” Mitchell said.

“The governorship is the right position for me. And I think it would be the right position for the people of Colorado.”

Rock Canyon student honored for artwork Mike Coffman Award goes to sophomore for ‘Grandma’ portrait

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, honored four high school students as winners of the 6th Congressional District 2017 Congressional Art Competition. The district encompasses Aurora, Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Centennial, among other areas.

Of those four winners, Carissa Tan, a sophomore at Rock Canyon High School, received the Mike Coffman Award,

honoring Coffman’s personal favorite piece, for her portrait titled “Grandma.”

First-place winner was Rae Stokes, a sophomore at Grandview High School, for “The Intricacy of Life.” In second place was Kayla Rondinelli, a senior at Cherry Creek High School, for “the Concrete Forest.” Johan Ramirez, a senior from Aurora Central High School, came in third with his piece “The Diverse CO Soul.”

Two professional artists selected the winners out of 34 submissions.

Stokes’ piece will go on display for a year in a public viewing area of the U.S. Capitol.

She will also receive two free round-trip airline tickets to Washington to attend the open-

ing display of the artwork.

Started in 1982 by the U.S. House of Representatives, the annual competition highlights high school students’ artistic works from across the country, a media release says. According to the Congressional Institute, more than 650,000 high school students have participated since the competition began.

“Every year, I am amazed by the artistic talent exhibited by the district’s high school students,” Coffman said in the media release. “The display in the Capitol is really remarkable, and thousands of people from across the country and around the world will get enjoy this artwork while displayed in our Capitol for the next year.”

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman presents Rock Canyon High School sophomore Carissa Tan with the Mike Coffman Award at a ceremony on April 22. Tan’s piece titled “Grandma” was selected as Coffman’s personal favorite out of 34 submissions in the 6th Congressional District 2017 Congressional Art Competition.

Horse illness affects about 80 Westernaire horses and ponies

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first of about 80 rental horses and ponies owned by the Westernaires is expected to come out of a six-week quarantine period by May 20, after recovering from a form of strep called strangles.

The outbreak should not cause panic, said Glen Keller, the director of the Westernaires, who referred to it as a “very inconvenient truth.”

“We’re not letting it get the best of us,” Keller said.

According to www.horseandhound. co.uk, strangles is a common bacterial infection that can affect horses, ponies and donkeys of all types and ages. It is a highly contagious infection of the upper respiratory tract, and can be easily spread through shared water troughs and/or tack and yard equipment.

It is specific to equines, Keller added, and only in a rare circumstance can the bacteria be transmitted to humans or other animals.

Strangles is rarely fatal, Keller said, adding equines generally make a full recovery. None of the Westernaires’ horses and ponies have died from the infection. The animals showed symptoms of a “snotty nose” and a fever, Keller said.

The Westernaires is a nonprofit organization that provides horsemanship and promotes western heritage to Jefferson County youth ages 9 to 19.

The Westernaires own about 230 horses and ponies, Keller said. He estimated that of them, 58 horses and 26 ponies were affected by strangles.

Keller is unsure how the infection came to the Westernaires facility, located adjacent to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. But the organization responded instantly to the outbreak, and it is being handled with all professionalism, he said.

All areas of the Westernaires’ facility has been disinfected and cleaned. The equines are being treated with a regimen that entails two vaccine shots administered by a veterinarian, Keller said.

“It seems to be working really well,” Keller said.

However, even after symptoms clear up, strangles can be contagious for up to six weeks, Keller said.

Therefore, every horse and pony that contracted strangles is being quarantined for that amount of time.

The illness has led the Westernaires to modify operations — practices now take place on Saturdays only, and only the healthy horses that have not contracted the infection are being used. In addition, to avoid potential exposure to horses not owned by the Westernaires, owners are not permitted to bring in their own horses for Westernaires activities.

A memo sent out from Scott Gales, the director of the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, to members of the 4-H organization states that the fairgrounds’ facilities are not involved in or associated with the infection.

“However, as a precautionary measure, all of our stalls, pens, water tanks, tie-outs and other facilities were disinfected shortly after discovery of this infection,” the memo states. “We have taken these precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of animals and humans — as our highest priority.”

The strangles vaccine is costly, and because the Westernaires cannot rent out the quarantined horses, the organization estimates it is incurring a weekly loss of revenue of about $15,000. To help offset the expenses from the strangles outbreak, the organization set up a Go Fund Me account on April 29. As of May 5, $23,463 of the $30,000 goal has been met.

“Westernaires has coped with countless demands over its 68year history, and 2017 is proving to be particularly challenging,” the organization states on its Go Fund Me page. “… between the veterinary bills, the treatment protocol supplies and the lost revenue from weekly activities, Westernaires is experiencing a financial hit like they never have before.”

Using generations to bridge housing gap Home sharing effort seeking volunteers to help seniors age in place

HOW TO PARTICIPATE If you are interested in the home-sharing program as either a home provider or home seeker, or if you would like to help support Sunshine, contact Alison Joucovsky at 303915-8264.

BY MEGAN M. CRUMLEY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A metro Denver housing program seeks to pair people looking for an inexpensive place to stay with seniors who need a little help — financially and physically.

“A lady I talked to today was 90 years old,” said Alison Joucovsky, executive director of Sunshine Home Share.

“She bought her house in 1956. It is worth so much money, she cannot afford the taxes. She’s looking at losing her house, that she’s lived in for 60 years, because she can’t pay the taxes.”

Sunshine Home Share opened in September with an idea: Seniors living in metro Denver are finding it harder to stay in their homes because of rent increases, tax increases and the need for supportive services.

Joucovsky wanted to provide an option for seniors who were being forced from their homes. Sunshine matches an elderly home provider with a younger home seeker.

“This is not room rental. This is home sharing,” Joucovsky said. “This is somebody who is opening up their

The home provider receives income and assistance from their younger renter. Assistance may include things like taking the home provider to the store or doctor and doing some cleaning and cooking. The home seeker receives a place to live at a reduced rent.

Both parties receive the companionship of each other.

Sunshine handles all the background work to make sure the home seeker is a good candidate. Counselors help the home provider interview the candidates and work out the details so the home seeker knows exactly what is expected from them.

There are already 64 home share programs across the United States, but Sunshine is the first home share program in Colorado.

“Some of the home sharing programs have been around 30-40 years, and I use them,” Joucovsky said. “I reach out all the time to ask them

questions about various situations.”

Sunshine’s goal is to make ten matches in 2017.

“It’s hard to hurdle the trust issue,” admitted Joucovsky. “Being a house provider, what’s going to make them trust something that’s a new program?

(We want) to let the home providers know that it is really safe, it is really slow, it is really thoughtful. In the end, the decision is always up to the home provider who they want to live with.”

Sunshine is actively seeking both home providers and home seekers.

“We especially need seniors with houses,” Joucovsky said. “Without them, we cannot create matches or affordable housing.”

Sunshine also needs support from the community.

“One of the things we are struggling with is being a new non-profit, we are having a hard time securing funding. Most of that is because funders want to see stability, they want to see success,” Joucovsky said. “We need people who believe in our program and want to donate and would be willing to help support us.”

Lightning kills woman, horse, injures teen girl in Sedalia

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 36-year-old woman and her horse were killed by a lightning strike in Sedalia the afternoon of May 7, authorities said. A 15-year-old girl who also was horseback riding on a trail was injured and taken to a local hospital in serious condition.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office received a 911 call reporting a fatal lightning strike at 3:24 p.m. in the 7000 block of Rainbow Creek Road in Sedalia, according to a news release from the sheriff ’s office. Lightning had

been visible in the area before the woman was struck, the release said.

Laura Miller and her horse were pronounced dead by fire crews on scene. The teenager, a family friend of the woman, was found conscious and breathing. She was transported to a local hospital in serious condition, although her condition has since improved, the release said.

Both victims were neighborhood residents and experienced horseback riders, the release stated.

The incident occurred about 24 hours after a woman was injured by a lightning strike

Construction defects bill passes Legislature

in Highlands Ranch.

The May 7 lightning strike accompanied a fast-moving thunderstorm that swept across the metro area.

The sheriff ’s office is reminding the public to be cautious when thunderstorms roll in.

“If you can hear thunder, then the storm is too close,” the release said. “Seek shelter inside a hard-top vehicle with the windows up, or a substantial structure with electrical and plumbing. If you do get stranded outdoors, do not seek shelter under trees or along metal fences or posts.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The state Legislature has passed a measure to address pent-up demand for more housing by promoting condominium construction.

The Senate on May 4 unanimously passed House Bill 1279, which makes it harder for homeowners associations to sue builders over alleged faulty construction.

Developers blame skyrocketing insurance costs to defend such lawsuits for a dramatic

slowdown in condo construction in Colorado.

The bill would require homeowners to discuss any problems with developers before any legal action.

It also would require condo owners’ approval before any homeowners association can file suit on their behalf.

The bill heads to the governor’s desk.

In the absence of state action, some 17 Colorado municipalities had adopted their own measures on homebuilder liability.

VOICES Not so transparent at Jeffco school board

T

o conduct a nationwide search for a new superintendent in 2014, Jefferson County Public Schools hired consulting company Ray & Associates. The firm notified hundreds of potential candidates and received more than 60 applications, then used feedback from the community and the school board to identify 11 top candidates. The school board then interviewed five individuals — without revealing their names and backgrounds to the public — before naming a lone finalist.

The process — met with loud outcry from the community over a lack of

transparency — resulted in the selection of Dan McMinimee, then assistant superintendent in Douglas County.

The only variables that were different in the district’s superintendent search this year that resulted May 1 in the naming of lone finalist Jason Glass, currently the superintendent of Eagle County Schools, is that the five-member board is entirely different and it interviewed six candidates instead of five.

Twice, the Jeffco school district denied requests from Colorado Community Media to release the names of the

six candidates who were interviewed.

“Dr. Jason Glass was the sole finalist made public pursuant” to the statute, stated the district’s May 4 response to our second request. “The remaining applicants are not considered finalists and their names and current positions will not be released.”

Under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), all finalists for a highranking or CEO-type position such as superintendent must be named publicly at least 14 days before an actual job offer is made, giving the public time to weigh in on the choices. (The board will meet again May 16 to vote to approve

Glass.)

In our view, one person hardly seems like a finalist.

According to merriam-webster.com, a finalist is “a person who competes in the last part of a competition.” The CORA statute defines a finalist as “a member of the final group of applicants” chosen by the board. Seems like Glass was the No. 1 choice — the winner, if you will — not a competing finalist.

I did some research and discovered that it was an international art scam, and that the cashier’s checks were phony.

It turns out that my pessimistic disposition comes in handy when it comes to offers that sound too good to be true.

Ask me again in 10 years, if a curvy blonde tries to pitch me something, and does it with a wide-open smile and a sweet voice.

Maybe by then I will appreciate the attention.

There are legendary stories in Hollywood about well-known, wealthy, and very elderly actors and actresses suddenly having very young women and men on the arms, and in their pockets.

I don’t trust anyone, and that goes for Jennifer and the dog.

what other choice the board could have made, the district limits transparency and strips the public of its right to know more about those who could make crucial decisions in their children’s lives.

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, put it this way: “Even if the school district’s procedure for choosing a sole finalist from six candidates didn’t violate the letter of the Sunshine Law and CORA, it certainly seems to have violated the spirit of those laws. The Legislature intended to give the public a meaningful look at the decision-making process when government entities hire chief executives.”

It was interesting that

this time around, the public, including the teachers’ union and several parents’ groups, didn’t find the board’s decision to conduct its interview and selection process in private as outrageous as it it did in 2014.

Was it because the present school board is much more popular in the community than the previous board? In November 2015, the community successfully recalled the board majority, which had garnered strong opposition and distrust among teachers and many parents for its policies and direction. The result of the election was an entirely new board because the other two members did not run for re-election.

Leslie Dahlkemper, a member of the 2014 school board who had voted against McMinimee’s appointment and who chose not to run again, said then: “I think the process is flawed because this board

the tale of two self-fulfilling prophecies. If we wake up and start our day filled with negativity and thoughts of fear, worry, and doubt, there is a high likelihood that our day will play out exactly how we envisioned it. We will probably get frustrated with equipment failures, have a short fuse with people around us, nothing will go right and we will come to expect the worst instead of the best.

However, like our driver mentioned above, if we start our day with optimism, we see situations where we can help, we smile and show gratitude in advance for all the good things that can come our way each day, we will probably have a better than good day.

Problems will come along for sure, but our positive attitude toward our work and everyone around us will allow us to deal with each obstacle and opportunity in such a way that we will more than likely end each day just like we began it, full of hope, optimism, and accomplishment.

refused to allow two or three finalists to come forward.”

This time Dahlkemper said, before Glass’ selection, that the board has done a much better job of listening to the community. “I think they did very good work there and I think it’s a big difference.”

John Ford, president of the Jeffco teachers’ union, who in 2014 was critical of McMinimee’s hiring process, felt differently about the selection process this time, too.

“All indications point to this being an actual national search and the qualities the board is seeking match the wishes of the stakeholders in Jeffco, not out-of-state millionaires and billionaires,” he said before the board’s final decision.

Glass, whose credentials are impressive, may very well be the best choice. But it’s hard to tell just how well the current board did — or did not — listen to the people of Jeffco,

If you are reading this column and happened to have a day that started out the wrong way, the good news is that you have an opportunity to change it right here and right now. Set pride and ego aside, look back on where things may have gone wrong, and think about what might have been different or what you can change immediately to get back on the winning path today. A little checkup from the neck up, if you know what I mean.

So how about you? Have you ever heard yourself asking something like, “So this is how today is going to go, is it?” Can you think of a time when you said it out of exasperation or maybe when you said it at a time of achievement? Maybe you have had both types of days, and now ask yourself, which one turned out better? I would love to hear which one did turn out better at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start out each day with an expectation of hope and optimism, it really will be a better than good week.

since the names of the other potential candidates have not been made public and the vote to approve Glass was done in executive session behind closed doors.

Board members repeatedly stated that keeping candidates’ names confidential could help attract a better candidate pool because publicly naming the candidates could harm their relationships with current employers.

But for public sector executives, whose salaries are paid for with our tax dollars, that is a burden they are expected to shoulder for the sake of transparency and the public’s right to know.

Just last week, the city of Centennial held a public meetand-greet with three selected finalists for its city manager position. The city of Golden held a similar event last year before naming its new city manager.

When Glass was hired in 2013 as superintendent of the Eagle County school district, his name was revealed along with two other finalists before the choice was made.

As one more example, consider Grand Junction School District 51’s superintendent search last month. District spokeswoman Emily Shockley reports that the district named four finalists. Those four were not only publicly identified, they also took part in a community meet-and-greet before the school board held a public vote to choose the winner.

Only one of the top candidates opted to drop out because they did not want to be named publicly.

“I think we got a great candidate, regardless,” Shockley said. “And one that values transparency.”

It’s a shame the Jefferson County Board of Education doesn’t feel the same way.

Ice show highlights metro-area talent

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The opening song from Disney’s “The Lion King” was sung by the audience as spotlights followed skaters gliding across the South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial, dressed as lions, zebras, hyenas and colorful birds. Showtime on Ice performers decorated the arena with a colorful rendition of their previous popular performances during their 45th annual ice show, “Tales As Old As Time.”

The performance consisted of three of the show’s most popular ice features: “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King” and “Grease.”

In every corner of the rink, local skaters of all ages spun, danced and moved to popular music numbers from the wellknown movies.

This year, performances took place over three days from April 28 through April 30.

Professional skaters Ryan Bradley, Starr Andrews and Max Aaron were featured this year. About 150 performers of all levels from across metro Denver, ranging in age from 3 to 65, took to the ice to dazzle the audiences.

School safety training facility opens in Jeffco Center will help police train for active-shooter situations

ing, 6625 45th Place in Wheat Ridge.

Martensen opened in 1954 and closed to students in 2011. The facility now serves Jeffco Public Schools safety and security staff, local police and fire departments, other school district security departments, and has also hosted training for the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI. Seventeen agencies have booked 157 days of training at the facility for the 2016-17 school year.

“The dedication is a reminder of the importance of continuous work towards school safety and security,” said Diana Wilson, chief communications officer for Jeffco Schools.

“We all want to keep our kids safe, but we also know we can’t do that alone as a school district.”

On April 20, 1999, 12 students and one teacher died and 20 were injured when two teens went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton. At the time, the crime was the worst school shooting in U.S. history.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the day before the 18-year anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, Jefferson County Public Schools dedicated a training facility where law enforcement agencies and other first responders can prepare for active shooter situations, learn crisis prevention techniques in a real-school environment and use a simulator that offers interactive training for a variety of school threat scenarios.

The Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety, named after former Columbine High Principal Frank DeAngelis, is located at the Martensen Elementary School build-

The training facility is a result of partnerships with the school district, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office and individual police departments in Jefferson County.

“This is a one-of-a-kind facility in the United States,” said Steve Bell, chief operating officer of Jeffco Schools. “If there’s one out there that’s something like this, we can’t find it.”

The training facility is the vision of John McDonald, executive director of safety, security and emergency planning for Jeffco Schools.

“Between 1982 and 2010, our school district has had three school shootings,” McDonald said. “Between 1999 and 2016, the state of Colorado has had seven school shootings. Too many, too much, no more. This facility offers us a place to train. This facility provides a different kind of education. This is where tactics are learned, strategies discussed and egos are checked at this door.”

Platte Canyon High School during a hostage situation. To honor her memory, the training room at Martensen was named the Emily Keyes, I Love You Guys training room. “I love you guys,” was the text she sent her parents minutes before she died.

McDonald said that when he started thinking about the community and resiliency that has surrounded Jeffco over the years, he thought of DeAngelis.

“Frank has been one of my heroes and he is also a mentor and friend,” McDonald said. “I’ve seen him in the middle of crisis and I’ve seen the grief and burden he carries — and the strength that he carries it with.”

DeAngelis represents hope, McDonald said, and so does the training facility. So it was only natural to name it after him.

“This building is a reminder of all those lives lost,” McDonald said, “and all those lives we will save in the future.”

Going the distance: How to train for a 5K

i c PHOTO BY SHUTTERSTOCK

Proper training is key to avoiding injury and completing the race

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

f it seems to you that 5K races are a dime a dozen, you would be right.

According to research at Running USA, a not-for-profit organization that studies road races, the most popular race among long-distance events in 2015 was the 5K, with a grand total of 7.6 million finishers across the U.S. That’s millions more than the next most popular distance, the halfmarathon, which had nearly 2 million finishers in 2015.

The difference between the two is considerable: A 5K is equivalent to 3.1 miles; a half-marathon is 13.1 miles.

From just-for-fun runs, to fitness challenges to philanthropic causes, there are plenty of reasons to sign up for your community’s next 5K and join the masses.

WHERE TO RUN The following are just some of the many races for metro-area residents in the next few months: • High Line Canal 5K & 10K, May 20, deKoevend Park, along the High Line Canal Trail, Centennial; www.ssprd.org/raceseriesmore information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries more information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries • Parker Family 5K, May 21, Stroh Ranch Park, 18775 Stroh Road, Parker; www.parkerfamily5k.weebly.com/ • Cattle Crossing 5K and Family Fun Trek, June 3, Tallman Meadow Park, 12335 Canterberry Parkway, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Summer Breeze 5K, 10K and

Here’s what your local experts say you’ll need to know when training:

check in with their doctor first, just to be safe.

“You might not think it is a cardio issue,” he said, “but it might be.”

Conditions such as a recent pregnancy may create complications during training, even if a runner wouldn’t expect them to, he said.

Consult your physician Anyone with injuries or chronic conditions should consult a physician before signing up for a 5K race or longer event, said Nic Seaver, director of kinesiology at HealthFit Gym in Castle Rock.

He also recommends those without serious injury or other conditions

Start slow, build gradually There’s no rule that says a 5K must be run, Seaver said. Participants can

also walk or jog.

Regardless, when it comes to training, he implores those who don’t regularly run distances to start slow and build up their workout routine incrementally.

“Start with your comfort zone,” he said. “The biggest mistake is to shock yourself too early and either hurt yourself or scare yourself.”

For non-runners, that might mean walking or jogging somewhere between one and two miles during those first workouts. He also cautions trainers to take a rest day in-between runs rather than working out every single day.

If not, he said, you’re tearing your muscles down and increasing the risk of injury.

Follow a schedule Make sure you to give yourself plenty of time to train, Seaver said. He i recommends starting training at least m t three months in advance of a race, especially for those who aren’t regular o m distance runners.

Cahoone takes listeners back to country roots LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

W

hen multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and Colorado native Sera Cahoone calls for our interview, she’s in Laguna Beach, California, waves roaring in the background.

“I just needed to be near the water,” she explained with a laugh.

This setting and sounds were the perfect backdrop for Cahoone, who has been making the kind of acoustic folk music that breathes beautifully in the open air since her solo debut was released in 2006. On March 24, she released her fourth album, “From Where I Started” — the first on her own record label, Lady Muleskinner records, after three albums on Sub Pop. “I think every song on the album is very personal, and comes from true experiences,” she said.

As the title implies, Cahoone takes listeners back to her country-steeped musical roots — roots that were created and fostered at honky-tonk bars around the state. Just one of the benefits of having a father who was a dynamite salesman in the Rocky Mountain area, and brought the family along with him.

“I grew up and lived in Littleton and went to Columbine High School,” she said. “I don’t remember a lot of the Denver-area music scene at the time, but I remember Big Head Todd was really big, and you had the ska scene going on.”

TRAINING FROM PAGE 16

Run at least three times a week, starting with shorter distances if that’s your comfort zone.

At least two weeks before race day, a 5K participant should be at a weekly routine of running 1 mile early in the week, 3 miles mid-week and 5 miles at the end of the week, leaving one to two rest days before beginning the next week’s routine.

By race day, running as much as 5 miles should feel normal to your body, Seaver said. A properly trained race participant should be capable of running more miles than the race length, without it being a significant challenge.

Avoiding injury Strength training — not just cardio — is crucial while preparing for a 5K. Exercise, such as weightlifting, helps connective tissues stay strong, Seaver said.

“When you’re running you’re putting more stress on your joints,” he said. “That’s something I run into a lot, is people just stop doing their more strength-oriented workouts.”

Keeping up exercises such as deadlifting or squatting can possibly prevent the most common running injuries such as tendonitis, pulls and strains in muscles, or in the worse case scenario, tears in muscles or ligaments.

Kiyoshi Yamazaki is a sports medicine physician at HealthFit who’s board-

SERA CAHOONE’S COLORADO DATES Bluebird Friday, May 12 9 p.m.

3317 E. Colfax Ave., Denver Fox Theatre Saturday, May 13 9 p.m.

1135 13th St. Boulder Cahoone started playing the drums at age 11, and the drums remain her main instrument to this day. She went on to teach herself guitar, and began writing songs, but she still feels most comfortable behind the drum kit.

She moved to Seattle in 1998 and joined the vibrant indie rock scene of the Pacific Northwest. She was the drummer for Carissa’s Wierd and then played drums with Band Of Horses, one of the most well-known bands to come out of that scene.

But the music Cahoone loved has always been slightly sepia toned — old country and blues, as well as 70s soft rock.

“These influences tend to come through in the music I make,” she said. “I did a lot demoing at home before deciding it was time to go to the studio. But once we got there, making the album only took maybe a week and a half.”

“From Where I Started,” is Cahoone’s first album in five years, a break that allows songs to evolve and grow, she said. Time off

certified in sports and family medicine.

He’s also a former NCAA track and field athlete.

The best way to avoid injury ties in with Seaver’s advice to start slow when training, Yamazaki said. When people quickly dive into running more than their body was accustomed to, injury becomes more likely.

“That jump sort of outruns — no pun intended — the caliber of your muscle tissue, ligaments, elasticity of tissues, and even just the muscle memory,” he said. “Over-training is the number one thing that ails our new runners.”

If injury does occur, he said, see your doctor or sports medicine physician. Often, they can keep someone training for a race and have them healed, or at least ready, for the big day.

Preparing on race day As adrenaline kicks in on race day, Seaver said, don’t be surprised if you run faster than in training.

“There’s excitement, naturally, for human beings when they’re in competition,” he said.

But overall, race day should be a normal day to someone who has put in the work and trained. His final health advice is to warm up through movement before the run and stretch well afterwards.

As far as mental preparation, Seaver reminds runners that the human body is more than capable of walking, jogging or running the approximate 3 miles a 5K covers.

His best advice on race day, Seaver said: You can do it.

also leads to some great stories, like the writing of album-highlight “Up to Me” — a song she wrote while on a women’s songwriter retreat on Whidbey Island, off the coast of Washington.

“You have all day in the cabin by yourself,” she remembered. “The song just came out, and it’s one of my favorite songs.”

Cahoone is back on the road now, stretching out her musical muscles on stage again, and will be playing a show at the Bluebird on May 12, and one at The Fox in Boulder on May 13.

“I’ve been gone from Colorado half my life, but any time I play there, it feels so great,” she said. “I love playing in Colorado because I get to see my family and friends. And playing the new songs for people is so exciting.”

At a time when arts funding is under attack, its important to remember its unifying power. And Cahoone is one of the voices calling for that unity.

“People need music — without it, this would be the worst world,” she said. “The arts and music world is so strong, and people will always make art and create community with it.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he wishes there was more cool honkytonk bars around.

Englewood museum exhibits art by Pottorf before it goes on tours Mixed-media works on display include large, powerful 9/11 piece

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Seeing so much of today’s world interacting in such minute — and Immense — ways gave me the ideas for these paintings, in which every image connects with another in some consequential way.” — Darryl Pottorf “Unerased Journeys: A Survey of Works by Darryl Pottorf ” is exhibited through July 15 at the Museum

IF YOU GO “UNERASED JOURNEYS: A SURVEY OF WORKS BY DARRYL POTTORF” is exhibited through July 15 at the Museum Outdoor Arts Indoor Galleries, second floor, Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Thursdays; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. 303-806-0444. Admission is free. See MOAonline.org for programming.

Pottorf ’s introduction to the catalog says, “Life is a grand possibility and art reflects it. My palette is based on the photographs I utilize.

back in after and paint again; but it’s a transfer process of imagery, photographic imagery that I can limitlessly use as a palette …”

He was, for many years, Robert Rauschenberg’s assistant and that influence shows.

Pottorf ’s mixed media works, ranging in size but mostly quite large, convey the widely -traveled artist’s views of — and response to — incidents, objects of interest, special places, ideas — and people involved. On-the-spot photographs are combined with painting, drawing, collages …

The back gallery holds “The Face of September 01,” his huge, intense response to the 9/11 tragedy. “Like many people, the events of Sept. 11, 2001, left me numb. It will take me years to comprehend the tragedy, if ever.”

His classical training (study in Florence) appears in careful drawings of figures, overlaying photo images of ruined structures, smoke, first responders, immense upheaval of what was an everyday scene for thousands of humans. While there SEE POTTORF, P21

Cynthia Madden Leitner, founder and president of MOA, writes that she first met Pottorf at his Florida home several years ago, hosting a reception with Rauschenberg. She mentions his “penchant for architecture,” developed perhaps as “a builder’s son” and his skill in draftsmanship as he tells stories through his art. She says national and international tours will follow. See it first.

This freshman is on quite a roll

C

Beth Lebar, a senior and team captain for the Arapahoe girls golf team, said it has taken time to deal with getting out of sand bunkers. “By the end of my sophomore year I really started to analyze how to hit a sand shot versus just going up and hoping I would get out.”

JIM BENTON

Bunkers can be boom or bust Sand traps among most daunting hazards for high school golfers

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A sand trap placed in a troublesome position in the fairway or around the green can be a feared hazard in golf.

Most professional golfers have learned how to expertly deal with sand traps, or bunkers, but many amateurs try to avoid them to keep from possibly elevating the numbers on their scorecard.

In Colorado high school girls golf, approaches on how to handle the hazards vary. And with the season

WHAT’S THE RIGHT MOVE? Knowing what to do in a bunker can be complicated, but “Golf Monthly” magazine has listed a few dos and don’ts so golfers won’t need to include a United States Golf Association rule book in their bag. Here are some of those tips: • Golfers can’t ground their club or touch the sand with their hand (USGA Rule 13-4b) • Touching or brushing the sand with the club on the backswing is also a breach of Rule 13-4b.

• All violations of Rule 13 incur a two-

stroke penalty in stroke play and loss of a hole in match play.

• Golfers are allowed to remove movable obstructions or anything manmade, like scorecards, gloves and head covers, but not anything classified as a loose impediment, like twigs, leaves, cones and branches.

• If a golfer stumbles entering a bunker and uses a club to prevent from falling, that is fine according to exception 1a to Rule 13-4.

winding down — regionals were earlier this week and the state tournaments are set for May 22 and 23 — proficiency in escaping sand traps will keep scores from soaring.

For any golfer, having the right mental approach when faced with a

stop in the sand is important.

To help keep them from seeming like daunting obstacles, Valor Christian coach Scotty Hofer doesn’t use the words “sand trap.”

nial League title. Geraghty was the league’s regular-season goals and points leader with 20 goals and 47 points.

Emily Sloan, track, junior, Rock Canyon: Sloan won the 100-meter hurdles in 13.79 seconds and the 300 hurdles in 42.33 on May 6 at the Cherry Creek Invitational.

Shae Holmes, soccer, junior, ThunderRidge: She scored three goals in the

Grizzlies’ 5-0 Continental League titleclinching triumph over Douglas County on May 2. Holmes is the regularseason league goals and points leader with 19 goals and 45 points.

Maya Evans, track, junior, Lutheran: She won three events at the 3A Metro League Championships on May 5.

She won the 100 meters (12.13), 200 meters (24.68) and the long jump (19-09.00).

aitlyn White is used to getting quirky looks.

The 14-year-old ThunderRidge freshman knows bowling is not a mainstream high school sport.

“Some people ask what sports do you play, and I say bowling,” she said. “They give me weird looks and then they say that’s so cool.”

White, who is a 170-averOVERTIME age bowler, started bowling when she was 6 and has been working on building up her college scholarship fund via her talent on the lanes.

“I did it once and really liked it,” she said. “They said I could get really good scholarship money and I Jim Benton could get into a real good college with bowling. So I went along with it.”

Bowlers earn scholarship resources at the conclusion of junior leagues by finishing among the leaders in tournaments. All scholarship resources go into the United States Bowling Congress Smart Program Scholarship fund.

White — who is the granddaughter of Colorado Community Media administrative assistant Pat Smith — has $3,600 in her account.

In my younger years, I spent a lot of time bowling in traveling leagues and house leagues at bowling centers that no longer exist.

To become a good bowler takes practice, the ability to make adjustments for lane conditions and the mental fortitude to overcome aggravations like sticking a 10-pin or chopping the six-pin off the 10 on a spare attempt.

White has the right attitude to overcome a bad game or series.

“You have to stay focused,” she said.

White has her sights set on going to college with her scholarship accumulation and maybe even bowl in college.

The NCAA sanctioned women’s bowling in 2003-04 and there are 139 colleges that have women’s varsity bowling teams.

A dominating player The regular season is over in the Jefferson County 4A baseball league and fans interested in statistics will see how dominating a season that Green Mountain junior JD Wadleigh is having.

Wadleigh, who played as a freshman at Faith Christian, leads or is tied for the league lead is six categories.

He is tops with a .500 batting average, tied with teammate Luke Kuberski with five home runs and his 1.035 slugging percentage is the best in the league. The pitcher/ outfielder also leads the league with a .623 on-base percentage, 67 strikeouts and seven pitching victories.

Englewood freshman John Altenhofen pushes the pace as he competes in the 1,600-meter run during the May 6 Colorado 7 League track meet. Altenhofen ran the event in a time of 5:33.6. The Pirate boys scored a total of 30 points and finished eighth in the team standings.

Dwight Anderson competes in the discus for Englewood during the Colorado 7 League Track Meet on May 6. Anderson finished eighth in the event with a throw of 96 feet, ¾ inch. The Pirates earned 30 points and finished eighth in the team standings.

Pirates pick up pace on the track Girls team seventh, boys eighth at league meet

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tough competition made points hard to come by, but a number of Englewood athletes took their places on the awards podium as the Pirates hosted the May 6 Colorado 7 League Track Meet.

Englewood’s girls team finished seventh in the team standings with 19 points. Fort Morgan won the team title with 199 points.

Englewood’s Isabella Morrisettte took runner-up honors in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 13:39.

Caroline Osborn was third in the 800-meter run and Lillian Johnson finished fourth in the high jump.

On the boys side, the Pirates amassed 30 points and finished

eighth in the team standings. Skyview won the team title with 161.5 points.

Derek Demilt was Englewood’s only event winner as he took first place in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 43 seconds. Teammate Sam Westra was fifth in the 200-meter dash and eighth in the 400-meter run. Trevor Fama was sixth in the 3,200-meter run.

In field-event competition, Englewood’s John Munoz finished third in the long jump and Dwight Anderson was eighth in the discus.

“We are a young team and a good sized team. We have 47 on the roster and that is more kids out than we have had in my 19 years as head coach,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “I am glad we have such a good turnout and the fact most of these athletes are young kids we expect to return to our team next season.”

He said his athletes are learning to compete in track and almost every

young competitor on the team has posted more than one personal best performance during the season.

“Our focus is improvement for our young kids,” Graves said. “We urge them to work hard to show steady improvement. We tell them just try to do better at every meet and push to turn in a personal-best performance.

Having a personal-best performance encourages the kids to keep working

and keep getting better.”

He said he feels the future looks good for the Englewood track program.

“The eighth-graders are right here on campus with us,” he said. “They have a good program and it is a plus for them and for our team that the eighth-graders practice with us. It is a great feeder program for Pirate track.”

BUNKERS

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy’s play in the sand trap has improved dramatically.

She says practice helps build confidence to successfully get out of sand traps. COURTESY PHOTO

FROM PAGE 24

“They are bunkers with sand,” he said. “If you call them sand traps, right away you are trapped and can’t get out.

They are hazards. It is really not a hard shot for people used to making it.”

Hofer noted that sand shots, at least from greenside bunkers, are the only shots in which a player is not supposed to hit the ball first. Executed properly, a player’s highly lofted club — a sand wedge — strikes the sand behind the ball, popping the ball out of the trap.

When not hit correctly? The ball might stay in the bunker. Or it might come flying out like a missile.

‘Just don’t get in them’ Some believe the best strategy is to keep a healthy distance between themselves and bunkers.

That’s Arapahoe senior Beth Lebar’s approach. For her, an early trip to a trap can set a positive or negative tone.

“Like today, the first time I was in the sand, I hit it three times trying to get out,” Lebar said after competing in the Centennial League tournament in April at Broken Tee Englewood. “So the rest of the day I wasn’t super confident out of the sand.”

But for the most part, she has learned how to handle the obstacle. Lebar is a team captain and a four-year varsity player who is vying for her third state tournament appearance.

“I used to be really afraid to hit out of the sand, but now I know how to talk myself through it and kind of calm

down a little bit and it’s not the worst place to be for me anymore,” Lebar said.

Ralston Valley senior Jordan Remley is one of the state’s best golfers and is headed for the University of Wyoming to play, but her performance in sand traps still needs work, she said. Like Lebar, she prefers to stay away from bunkers.

“I’d say they are one of my weak

points,” she said. “My point is just don’t get in them. It can definitely be mental.

“I’m more confident that I used to be.

I’m still working on it.”

The role of repetition Practicing in traps is helpful.

“There are very few courses with sand to practice,” Arapahoe coach Patrick Wilson said. “Family Sports (in

Centennial) is good but I tell the girls to make sure nobody is behind the trap in case they (mis-hit) a shot.

“We play the par 3 and I tell them to drop a ball in the sand. Don’t keep score, but practice getting out of the sand.”

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy has improved at getting out of bunkers, and that has helped her lower her scores to the high 80s this season.

She credits practice.

“I’ve improved by just practicing the shot and getting it consistent,” Murphy said. “Repetition of the same thing is really important and just relaxing every time you get into one — otherwise you get in your head, and a lot of times people struggle to get out and the ball stays in.”

Rock Canyon assistant coach Ron Saul just told Murphy to try to not spill water.

“What I taught her to make sand shots easier was to imagine a glass of water sitting on the club face and you have to hold it so you wouldn’t spill a drop, and swing in the bunker so you don’t spill a drop,” he said.

Legacy coach Mark Glen said, ultimately, high school players get out of sand traps just like anyone else.

“Like any other shot in golf, the more you practice a specific shot correctly, the better you get at it,” Glen said. “Can it become a mental obstacle? As I watch players on the LPGA and PGA tours, sure looks like they try to avoid them and bad shots do occur at times with that mental image.

“It is about humans, with faults, playing a game designed not only to test one’s physical capabilities but his or her emotional, mental and, at times, spiritual potential as well.”

Legend, Regis tie for league championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was nearly impossible to tell what would happen in the Continental League baseball race as the regular season drew to a close.

Legend and Regis Jesuit finally emerged as co-champions of the league despite the Titans’ 6-3 victory over the Raiders on April 27.

Heading into the final league games of the season May 3 and 4, there were six teams — Legend, Douglas County, Mountain Vista, Heritage, ThunderRidge and Regis Jesuit — tied first place.

Four of the teams played each other as Legend faced ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista took on Regis, so two teams would be eliminated from at

least a share of the title.

Douglas County faced Class 4A Ponderosa and Heritage played last-place Chaparral.

Legend whipped ThunderRidge 10-0 on May 3. Regis gained a share of the title with a 7-3 victory over Mountain Vista on May 4.

Ponderosa rallied to spoil Douglas County’s bid for a first-place finish with a 4-3 win over the Huskies on May 4, and Chaparral played the spoiler and held off Heritage to notch a 4-3 victory.

Eight league champions are guaranteed a position in the district playoffs, which will be held May 13, but seedings and possible host roles for the district tournaments are determined

by RPI standings, which are a type of computer rating.
