BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The May 11 ceremony at Charles Hay World School sort of followed tradition as students joined adults making speeches and using shovels to symbolically break ground for the construction of the new school that will be built adjacent to the current school at 3195 S. Lafayette St. About 100 people attended the event in a portion of the playground.

“I am constantly amazed by the heart and soul Englewood residents have for their schools,” Superintendent Wendy Rubin said. “All of us in the district take seriously the trust all you have in us to keep your children safe.”

She was followed to the podium by first-graders Talula Clanton and Abbi Garcia, who used some big words like ecstatic to describe the excitement of their fellow students about the construction of their new school. There speech was followed by comments by sixth-grader Riley Aitken who talked about how much SEE HAY, P44

Englewood Master Patrol Officer Ryan Kaspar’s decision to fire the shot that killed Michael Kocher during a March 3 standoff was ruled justified following a review by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

The summary of a report signed by Deputy District Attorney Larry Bailey, dated May 12, stated that based on the law and facts in the case, the officer was “justified in using deadly force to defend himself and others.”

Bill increases penalties for texting and driving Governor expected to sign bill, which Legislature passed in April

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bill that increases penalties for drivers convicted of distracted driving passed the full Legislature on April 24 and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper at the end of May.

Under the legislation, a law enforcement officer must see a driver using a phone for texting, or doing any other form of manual data entry, while operating a motor vehicle. A conviction for a first offense would be a Class 2 misdemeanor resulting in a fine of $300 and four points on the driver’s license. Subsequent offenses would incur the same fine and points assessed.

Drivers convicted of causing an accident resulting in death or injury while texting would face Class 1 misdemeanor charges, with fines

ranging from $300 to $1,000 and a possible sentence of 10 days to one year in prison.

“It’s a start to make Colorado roads safer in the long run,” said Susan Dane, co-founder of Colorado Organized for Responsible Driving. “But our work is not done.”

Dane and other CORD members founded the group after friends Jacquie and Brian Lehner were killed in an accident on State Route 83 north of Franktown in 2016. The driver admitted to drinking and smoking marijuana before the accident, as

BEBE KLEINMAN

About me I’m CEO of Doctors Care, a nonprofit organization in Littleton that is dedicated to improving health access for low-income individuals in the South Metro Denver area.

My husband, Jim, and I moved into the new Littleton Village development after 28 years in Highlands Ranch. We decided to move because we were excited by the community’s design to include diverse housing options, business and retail, along with a center park and gathering area. The neighbors are extremely friendly. We spend lots of time in downtown Littleton, especially the restaurants and local shops.

Where I work I have worked for Doctors Care for the past 18 years. I have spent my whole career working in service for low-income children and families, and I would not have it any other way. I can’t imagine doing anything else. It is my passion to ensure all people have health care access and coverage. The amazing staff, patients and volunteers bring me great joy and make this work feel extremely worthwhile. We are lucky to be living and working in a community that cares deeply for our neighbors.

In my free time ...

You will find me walking or riding my bike with my dog Izzy around my neighborhood.

My greatest joy and diversion is my family: Jim, my husband, daughters Katie and Ely and their husbands, Jeff and Jonathan.

Park district awards matching grants South Suburban Parks and Recreation District has announced the recipients of more than $13,000 in its 2017 matching gifts program.

Bebe Kleinman is the CEO of Doctors Care. She likes riding her bike, walking her dog, spending time with her family and making jewelry.

well as checking a text message, just before she drifted into oncoming traffic and caused the accident.

CORD had representatives at every committee hearing throughout the course of the bill’s passage, Dane said. The next step for the group will be to work with schools and driver’s education programs to reach young drivers before texting becomes part of their driving routine.

“I don’t know what it’s going to take to get people to shake the habit,” Dane said. “But we’re going to keep working at it.”

United through mail, generations apart Second-graders meet their senior citizen pen pals after a year of sending letters

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sil Stenman, 80, reached across the table to hold the hand of her pen pal, Abby Brown, 9, as Brown read Stenman her favorite book, “On Top of Spaghetti.”

This was the first time they had met after exchanging letters since August.

“I am happy,” Brown said. “I am so excited to meet you, the best pen pal.”

Second-graders from Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch met their senior-citizen pen pals for the first time on April 28 at the Holly Creek Retirement Community in Centennial.

Stenman had knit a small teddy bear named “Chocolate” for Brown. The day the two met, it was Brown’s ninth birthday and Stenman sang her “Happy Birthday.”

Phoebe Alfke, 85, said she hung letters from her pen pal, Kayla Boerman, on her fridge. The two had never seen photos of each other but created a strong friendship before finally meeting.

“It is kind of like a mystery,” Alfke

“I think you are, too,” Boerman said.

Over the course of the school year, the pen pals exchanged five letters.

“We are excited,” said Alice Garrett, 76, hugging her pen pal, Abigail Wood.

“Yeah,” said Wood, 8, while jumping up and down. “I am happy, excited

and more happy.”

Each of the second-grade students brought a favorite book to read to their pen pals. Alice Hulings, 91, drug her fingers beneath the words that her pen pal, Katie Boyes, 7, sitting on Hulings’ lap, focused on reading aloud.

“You are an excellent reader,” Hulings said.

Heritage students, parents try new way of tackling hunger Little Free Pantries crowdsource food donations

Heritage High School students and parents gather in the rain to dedicate a Little Fee Pantry in Littleton on May 8.

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

You’ve probably heard of a Little Free Library, but a Little Free Pantry may be a foreign concept.

Karen Kaiser and Monika Nash of Littleton came across the idea while thinking of things their daughters, both students at Heritage High School, could do for community service.

“It was one of those special interest stories that pop into your feed and something struck,” said Kaiser, describing how she learned about Little Free Pantries on Facebook.

Along with a group of nine Heritage students, Kaiser and Nash set about researching where to put a Little Free Pantry in Littleton, settling on a spot outside Doctors Care at Littleton Boulevard and Fox Street.

The Little Free Pantry Project began last May in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The pantries are just a small wooden box on a post, similar to the Little Free Libraries they are modeled after. But instead of books, they are stocked with non-perishable foods, baby formula, diapers or school supplies.

Just like the libraries, anybody can

KYLE HARDING

put something in — and anybody can take something out.

“I think it’s a really great idea, because some people may be too embarrassed or don’t want to ask for help,” said Kaiser’s daughter, Alex.

Little Free Pantries are always open as long as there is food in them, which Kaiser and Nash said is important, because the working poor may not have time to get to a food bank during its set hours.

“You could literally go at three in the morning,” Kaiser said.

Doctors Care was chosen over other locations for a few reasons: It is located close to more economicallydisadvantaged parts of Littleton, many of the patients that come in and out of the building may face food insecurity and CEO Bebe Kleinman was receptive to the idea.

“The kids live in this little bubble, but a few miles from their house there are families struggling, Kaiser said.

Kleinman said that Doctors Care screens patients for food insecurity

and the Little Free Pantry helps complement that.

“It’s a really kind gesture,” she said.

The pantry was set up on May 6 and stocked with cereal, canned beans, applesauce and other dry goods.

Between then and when the group arrived to do a ribbon-cutting in a driving rain storm on May 8, it had already had food both taken out and put into it. The group believes it will prove to be popular.

“I think,” Nash said, “it will spread like wildfire.”

Immigrants share their life stories with advocacy group Immigrant Pathways Colorado holds luncheon at Littleton Museum

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 75 supporters of Immigrant Pathways Colorado gathered at the Littleton Museum for conversation, lunch and inspiration on a sunny May 4 — and to hear stories of three IPC grantees.

Susan Thornton spoke briefly about the organization’s programs: grants for English language study, GED test preparation, conversation circles, application for a green card, selfdevelopment, and new this year — a scholarship at Arapahoe Community College for a refugee or immigrant.

She introduced a panel, led by educator Connie Shoemaker, who has aided many students of all ages and origins and is a co-founder of Immigrant Pathways.

Three women, all now U.S. citizens, were invited to talk about their experiences as immigrants after Shoemaker commented about building bridges rather than barriers: “Living in another country as a minority has taught me to learn another’s story, look into their eyes, celebrate similarities …”

She introduced Nisren Kurdi (Missy) from Baghdad, Iraq; Mary Sid-

dren had to move every six months and were “scared about everything.”

The final straw was the kidnapping and murder of her husband’s twin.

“I said that’s enough—we have to move.” They were assisted by former state Rep. Joe Rice of Littleton, who was in the Army in Iraq at that time and did the necessary paperwork that brought the family in Colorado.

Thornton recalled meeting her the day after she arrived, struggling with the language — a place where IPC could assist. On her first day in the U.S., she remembers the first good long sleep, somewhere safe — and waking up to “a wonderful day, the smell of a fresh breeze. I’ll never forget. It was like I came to life again!” The most difficult adjustment? “I wear a hijab. I feel the eyes on me. I get sad. I feel they want me to go home.”

Shoemaker added that she knows how much Missy misses family — her husband had eight brothers and eight sisters and Nisren, accompanied by 4-year-old Hussein, who was born here, is also from a large family. “I

was just thinking about my husband and kids when we left.” She said she wanted to become a citizen “to vote for my president — to stand up for myself — you have to know me first!”

Mary Siddall, who was assisted with a grant to help her become a citizen, said she wanted to come to America to learn English and she wanted to come legally, so she arrived as an au pair and planned to stay one year. But, she met her future husband and went back and forth for a while, deciding there was no practical way to stay in Peru, which she described as “kind of safe” for a young woman who grew up in an upper-middle-class family. (But there was no secure hiking path like the High Line Canal — she is grateful for the security.) “I will call this home now,” she said, speaking of her business as a life coach. Her first day in the U.S. was actually at age 11, when her mother sent her on a kids’ tour to Disneyland. “It was so clean, organized, perfect. I tried to go every few SEE PATHWAYS, P12

Online students dance night away — just like anyone else Four online schools host ‘virtual’ prom for students from throughout metro Denver

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A common concern about online schools is whether students get the same opportunities to socialize as their peers in traditional ones.

But they showed they can have just as much fun when students from four online schools recently enjoyed the time-tested tradition of prom.

“It’s something that all high school students look forward to, whether they attend a traditional school or a

virtual school,” Teri Cady, head of school at Destinations Career Academy of Colorado, said in an email.

“They make a night of it just like any other high school student.”

More than 150 students from areas as diverse as Westminster, Elbert County, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and Northglenn all attended the “Black and Gold Masquerade,” hosted May 5 by Colorado Preparatory Academy, Destinations Career Academy, Pikes Peak Online School and Colorado Digital Board of Cooperative Education Services at the Riverwalk Clubhouse in Littleton.

Some students were attending their first dance, but at least two had met before the event.

Yadira Velez, 16, of Colorado Springs met her date, Keiren Brown, 17, of Green Valley Ranch, at last year’s event. They connected on Facebook afterward and see each

DeGette meets with city officials in Englewood Congresswoman hears requests for funding assistance on projects

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Congresswoman Diana DeGette, D-Denver, met with Englewood city officials on May 9 and some of the issues discussed included possible removal of tax exempt status from municipal bonds, tax reform and health care.

DeGette represents Colorado’s First Congressional District, which includes Englewood and she traditionally meets with city officials once a year.

Mayor Joe Jefferson asked DeGette about the federal funding level for community block development

grants. He said the grants are important to Englewood and past grants have helped fund projects such as the program to provide assistance for home improvements.

“Congress has passed the budget for fiscal year 2017 and the block grant funding is set at about the same level it was for 2106,” the congresswomDeGette an said. “We in Congress know the value of the grants to local governments. In discussions I often use Englewood as an example of a community that has used block grant funds with great success.”

The congresswoman was also asked about possible federal funds to assist with Englewood’s need to replace the police management system.

“The system is out of date and it will cost about $750,000 for a new

system,” City Manager Eric Keck said. “We would apply for financial help if it is available.”

DeGette said she will ask her staff to check to see if financial assistance is possible through the Department of Justice or the Office of Homeland Security.

Another area discussed was possible transportation funds to assist with existing and planned bridges.

“Several city-owned bridges are in need of expensive repairs and we also would like to build pedestrian bridges so people can safely cross busy streets,” Keck said. “Bridge repairs are expensive and estimates are it will cost $750,000 to $1.5 million to build pedestrian bridges. We talked to the Colorado Department of Transportation and they said the issues are our problems. We would like to know if it is possible to apply for federal transportation funds to help pay for these projects.”

DeGette said the transportation funding bill received congressional approval and she will check to see if the city can apply for U.S. Department of Transportation grants to help pay for the projects.

DeGette also took time to talk about the healthcare bill that was recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.

“We know the ability to have adequate healthcare insurance is a very personal issue and important to everyone,” she said. “There are problems with the House-passed bill.

Generally it appears a lot of people will no longer have coverage under the new bill. There is also concern about the provision allowing states to exempt insurance providers from covering pre-existing conditions. I expect the bill will be in the Senate for a long time and I expect there will be a lot of changes before the bill is finalized.”

Event honoring veterans set at Englewood school Pictures and memorials honoring Englewood veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country are part of the ceremony in conjunction with Memorial Day held at Englewood High School.

TOM MUNDS

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Englewood Campus — home of Englewood High School — at 3800 S. Logan St. will host a number of activities honoring veterans on May 28.

This is the third year for the Englewood ceremony, scheduled for the day before Memorial Day, and organizer Kay Howard said she feels it gets better every year.

“We started talking about a memorial to honor all veterans, particularly those from Englewood, at the high school about 2011. It was great that then-superintendent Brian Ewert and former EHS teacher Jonathan Fore were so supportive of placing the memorial at the school,” the 1959 Englewood High School graduate said. “Honoring veterans has been a passion of mine.

After all, what greater mission can there be than paying tribute to our veterans?”

She said this year, Vietnam veterans will be honored.

“This is the proper thing to do,” the Castle Rock resident said. “It is time to set the record straight. Vietnam veterans are heroes just like our veterans who fought in all wars. A lot of people turned their backs on vets when they returned from Vietnam. We

want this to be a long-overdue welcome home for them.”

The May 28 activities begin at 1:30 pm. at the memorial outside the campus buildings.

The New York 79th Highlander bagpipers will play for visitors to the memorial.

The focus then shifts to Fisher Auditorium inside the high school. Displays in the lobby include the pictures and short bios of 21 Englewood residents who lost their lives in

service to the country.

The two-hour program inside the auditorium begins at 2 p.m. with several speakers and a time to honor veterans. At 4 p.m. the ceremony will again move outside to the memorial where two Gold Star families will be presented folded American flags. A Gold Star family is a family that lost a loved one in a war. The Joe Peterson Orchestra will provide martial and period music during the program.

The Rolling Thunder advocacy group will perform a missing-man ceremony, an honor bell will toll for the fallen, there will be a 21-gun salute and a bugler will play “Taps.”

Englewood High School is the only school in Colorado and one of very few around the country with a memorial honoring veterans on the campus.

The centerpiece of the Englewood memorial is a pentagonshaped 6,000-pound stone from a quarry in Lyons. The bronze seals of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and National Guard are attached to the memorial.

The memorial is surrounded by stone pavers that have been purchased by individuals, families and organizations as a tribute to a service member.

“I had relatives in the service and just felt we need to do something in our community to honor Englewood veterans,” Howard said. “It took me about five years to raise the funds for the memorial. A lot of people worked hard to make the idea a reality. It was an honor to watch the memorial being installed in 2014 and to be part of the dedication ceremonies in 2015.”

Parents should ‘speak now’ about drugs and alcohol Statewide campaign urges parents to have those conversations with children

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Jay Martin was 13 years old and living in Nebraska, he answered the family phone to hear a state trooper explain his brother had been in a wreck and he needed to speak with Martin’s parents.

Martin’s 19-year-old brother was killed in a car accident in which he was driving drunk. The experience hurt not only his family, Martin said, but also others who were involved in his brother’s crash.

Today, Martin is a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office working with the department’s Y.E.S.S. program, in which officers visit local schools and teach about such topics as online safety, relationship safety and substance use.

But Martin isn’t the only one trying to teach kids the dos and don’ts of alcohol and drug use.

A campaign run by the Colorado

Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health called “Speak Now Colorado” is targeted at helping parents have those difficult conversations with kids, especially around prom and graduation seasons.

On the Speak Now website, speaknowcolorado.org, parents can: • Learn how to spot risky behavior.

• Explore hypothetical scenarios to help them prepare for real-life situations involving kids and substances.

• Take a quiz to test their knowledge of drug and alcohol use.

• Get tips for starting and continuing conversations with their children about drugs and alcohol.

Start conversations early Rob Valuck, a professor of pharmacy at the University of Colorado, has worked in substance abuse prevention for nearly 25 years. He says the main reason for parents to keep their kids away from alcohol and drugs, including misuse of prescription drugs, is to protect their health.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Future of Depot looks bright Thank you for your interest in the Englewood Depot building.

As someone closely involved in the ongoing planning for the Englewood Depot – as the president of the Board of Englewood Depot Inc., (known as The Letterpress Depot) which is the 501(c)3 Tom Parson founded to achieve his vision – I’d like to chime it. Tom is being modest about his efforts recently, and those of the entire board, to begin work on the building. We

are launching a major fundraising initiative on May 1 to supplement the $34,000 the nonprofit has already raised for construction.

As Tom mentioned, we are ready with earmarked funds, architectural plans, landscaping design and a contractor.

A permit for the first phase of reconstruction was submitted and is in the process of being approved by the city. Our plan is to begin work on the basement within the next few months. From there, we will focus our attention on pursuing additional funding through grants and fundraising to

s holding on to tradition more important than change or trying something new? Are change and trying something new more appealing and intriguing than holding on to tradition? Do we hold on to tradiWINNING tion just because WORDS that is the way we were brought up and traditions are a comfort zone for us?

There are so many questions that could be asked, and certainly no shortage of opinions when it comes to the topic Michael Norton of tradition. I think the question I really want to explore is this one: Does our traditional thinking ever get in the way of our personal growth, community effectiveness, or business productivity?

Sometimes I think we hold on to tradition to preserve a special feeling or connection to something in our past or something connected to someone in our lives or from our past. There is nothing wrong with that — as a matter of fact, I have certain traditions that I still hold on to or practice because they bring back amazing memories of my grandmother or grandfather. And yet there are other traditions that I

was holding on to just for the sake of holding on to them. Even though intellectually I knew that a change was needed or warranted, my pride in clinging to tradition would win the battle.

Recently I was visiting a church that was about to celebrate its 160th anniversary. The church was small, beautiful, and had a wonderful congregation. Many of the regular worshippers had been attending this church for many, many years.

Generations of families filled the pews, and being such a small church in a small town, everyone knew each other quite well.

After the church service everyone gathered for coffee and some light pastries and cakes. The topic of discussion that morning centered around whether or not a new audio/ video system should be approved for the sanctuary. A new system would change the look and feel of the sanctuary and this had many of the traditionalists in a bit of a panic as they believed that nothing should disrupt the physical appearance of the sanctuary as it stood today. Yet others who had visited neighboring churches or attended church services in other areas shared how the use of audio

and postponed and… postponed.

Four months later, still waiting to start the project, I had somehow managed to live off the reward points of my maxed out credit cards, coupons, health expense reimbursements, dinners at friends’ occasionally, hors d’oeuvres at events I’d be invited to, and my daughter’s help with groceries. So essentially, since January, I’ve lived off of $400 income. Finally realizing this contract may still not start for a while, I started looking for other work, but by now, it was too late. I had already spiraled down.

Perhaps you’re thinking, “Why didn’t she have a savings account?” or “How could she let herself get so low?” Or maybe your thoughts are more like, “Finally, someone who lives like me” or “Yup, been there before.” But recently, I had to re-learn at a deeper level, that any thought or judgment you may have about me, is just that — your thought. I could go into defense and explain that living on a legislator salary of about $2 to $4 dollars an hour over a period of eight years doesn’t allow you to put anything in a savings account or blah, blah, blah. Or I could feel guilt about having the privilege of even having a credit card. But neither of those were my lessons I needed to understand this time.

But after days of trying to negotiate my bills and nights of little sleep, I finally swallowed my pride, explained my situation on Facebook, and asked for help.

Instead of judgment, I immediately received ideas, leads, prayers, and kudos for being so nakedly honest.

Within a few short days, with the loving and generous help of my tribe, I’ll now be able to stay in my home, manage my bills, and most likely, secure work by next week.

Obviously, I needed to remember to walk through my fear, ask for help and receive the gifts of community around me.

Now, although alone at this table, I am deeply grateful once again that I am also enveloped by a loving and nurturing community around me. So if you are experiencing fear, shame, or guilt about something and suffering alone, reach out and ask for help.

and video really helped connect the message for them and especially helped their children connect to the message.

The latter group believed that a change was needed in order to attract new members to the church and to help continue to build upon the legacy of the church that had been established 160 years ago.

And the other group felt it would be disrespectful to cut into the walls and mar the sanctuary in any way.

As I listened to both sides of the debate, I couldn’t help but think about what I was holding on to just for the sake of holding on to it. Was I living in my own comfort zone full of traditions that I was unwilling to give up for no other reason than “just because”? And

just like this church I was visiting, perhaps the old guard in my own heart and head could easily have the same debate: Do I preserve the traditions of my past and present, or am I willing to shake things up a little and grow? I guess the answer is somewhere in between.

So how about you? Are you a traditionalist? Or are you OK with breaking through your comfort zone a little from time to time and going through some changes that can help you expand your thinking and grow? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can ride the balance of holding to certain traditions while exploring new ways of thinking and behaving, it really will be a better than good week.

Parkour and ninja rise in popularity Two similar, young sports gain legitimacy with gyms and TV shows

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

P

arkour came into Mark D’Agosta’s life the way many people find their passions in the 21st century — YouTube.

“I was already doing this stuff,” he said. “There just wasn’t any sort of training or name for it.”

By “this stuff,” D’Agosta, 32, means parkour, a loosely-defined physical training discipline in which participants essentially create obstacle courses from the environment around them that was developed in France in the 1980s.

“I was

climbing on buildings, getting on roofs and stuff when I was a kid,” said the Englewood resident.

In 2009, his sister saw the videos of the sport that had become popular online.

“She was like, `Hey, look, there are people who do the stuff you do — but they’re good at it,’ ” he said.

Parkour has moved indoors in recent years, first being incorporated into gymnastics programs. As popularity has grown, dedicated parkour gyms have sprung up, and

a new offshoot, “ninja training,” has evolved.

Ninja, as seen on the televised American Ninja Warrior competition and others like it, has competitors running defined obstacle courses against one another, distinguishing it from parkour.

“Parkour is pure imagination,” said John Maul, who co-owns Ninja Intensity gym in Castle Rock with Brandi and Ryan Lebsack.

Ninja Intensity offers classes in parkour and ninja, mainly geared towards kids. The Lebsacks decided to open the gym after their son, Kaden, found a passion for it. Their classes have steadily increased in size since they opened in December and they plan to offer camps this summer.

D’Agosta has coached parkour, along with gymnastics, in gyms but prefers outdoors, finding areas downtown where one can find walls, fountains or other infrastructure that can be turned into obstacles without trespassing.

“For me,” he said, “parkour is about your environment.”

D’Agosta founded the parkour club at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, where he recently graduated. This past semester, he had about 10 consistent club members. The most he has had in a semester was 50, split between ACC students and community members.

Ninja training is mostly done in the gym, and practitioners are in the midst of trying to legitimize it as a sport, with organized leagues like the National Ninja League popping up.

“I see it branching away from the reality show aspect,” Maul said.

Lorin Ball, an American Ninja Warrior competitor, owns Ninja Brand Parkour Gym in Henderson, about 15 miles north of Denver along I-76. Although most of his students are kids, he said, the sports of ninja and parkour

PARKOUR VERSUS NINJA Parkour has its roots in 1980s France, and its founding is most often credited to David Belle, who created the sport with inspiration from his father, Raymond Belle, who developed a passion for running obstacle courses, or “parcours du combatant,” while growing up in a military orphanage in French-occupied Vietnam.

David Belle and a group of his friends used their skills to

conquer improvised obstacles in urban areas.

The sport of ninja is much more recent, springing from the Japanese competition TV series “Sasuke” and its American spinoff “American Ninja Warrior.”

Though many skills from parkour apply to ninja, they differ in that the latter is an organized, competitive event on a closed course.

appeal to teens, young adults and even older adults looking to try something new.

“They need more,” he said. “They need something where they can apply the exercise they’ve done.”

Maul came to the budding sport not long ago, with most of his fitness background being in powerlifting. Many of the adults starting ninja are also Crossfit PHOTOS BY SHUTTERSTOCK athletes, weightlifters, runners or rockclimbers, Ball said.

For kids, Ball says parkour and ninja are ways to “get off of the video games and be the video game.”

Joey Piersee, 16, started ninja recently and is already coaching kids at Ninja Intensity.

“It’s a good way to work out,” he said. “It’s a good way to have fun. It’s a good way to be competitive.”

While there is certainly a completive angle to ninja, particularly at the higher levels, Maul said it is really more about competing against yourself.

“It’s a small world,” he said, “and what I SEE PARKOUR, P17

First Friday crowd keeps Littleton lively History, art take center stage as attendees stroll through city

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

May 5 was a perfect evening for a stroll in downtown Littleton, and local folks of all ages and interests showed up to look at art and to participate in Littleton History Walks, offered by Historic Littleton Inc. and the City’s Historic Preservation Board.

Many participants started at the Depot Art Gallery to hear/see juror Phyllis Vandehaar present awards for the new show, “What’s In A

Name?” The former art teacher at Arapahoe High School said the only bad thing during her happy teaching career was “running out of white drawing paper!” She commented about the winners — the use of a media, craftsmanship, composition, design, color, line, shapes. “It was really hard to decide,” she said, adding that she could only accept 60 of the 107 paintings entered by Littleton Fine Arts Guild members to this anniversary show.

Best of Show was awarded to Paul Nutting for his inviting oil, “Old Town Tallin,” an evening scene of a curving old commercial street.

Rebekah Corah’s oil, “Airo” won first place; Joe Bonito’s black-andwhite photo, “Cuppa,” was named to second place; and “Life’s Appetite” a

multi-layered photograph by Peggy Dietz, won third place. Honorable mentions went to Merrie Wicks, Patty Dwyer and Rita Campbell.

“The Grace Project,” a series of photographs on silk by Charise Isis, is featured at Outnumbered Gallery on South Prince Street. Owner Sudee Floyd also prepared a walking guide booklet, “Out and About,” with drawings of shops and notes about exhibits, special discounts or featured artists at: Patty Dwyer’s open studio, Details; Colorado Frame and Savvy Stuff (Jewelry artist Ayse Diller); Willow; General Store (musician); Rooted Boutique; ACC-Jantzen Gallery and Colorado Gallery of the Arts; Rocker (Emily Her); Think Tank; Vintage Vine; Town Hall Arts Center (“Les Trois Tracys”); Outlaw

Yoga; Altitude Paddleboard; Adventure in Dance; Gracefull (dessert night/coffee/pie); Evolution Hair Studio (featured artist each month); Velvet Wolf; Kerren O’Conner; Lewis and Cluck; Intea (Pat Isaacs); Curds Cheese; Jake’s Other Half; Legacy Vineyards; Zoey’s Place; ReMax Synergy; and Woodlawn Floral.

Floyd said she will do an update for each First Friday. She also arranged for a group of artists to take over the atrium each month at Littletown, naming it “Outnumbered Art Fair”: Wendy Seebohar, Karen Spotts, Andy Mallen, David William Ridge, Candia French, Leah Hendricks, Elaine McDonald and Diane Fechenbach.

In June, First Friday will happen on June 2. Mark the calendar!

truly love about it is the support we give each other.”

Training in gyms, with mats, adds an element of safety. D’Agosta has had several inuries doing parkour over the years.

“I broke my hand, I shattered my collarbone, hyperextended my elbow and had a few pretty serious tendon issues in my ankle and shoulder.”

However, D’Agosta said those were mainly in his early years in the sport, when he had less understanding of how to train safely. His past injuries have influenced him to pursue a career in physical therapy.

People will drive a long way to train in parkour or ninja. Before opening the gym, the Lebsacks were driving Kaden to Longmont to work out. Brandi said Ninja Intensity has members from as far away as Colorado Springs.

After four years of coaching, Ball doesn’t see an end to the popularity.

“We still haven’t seen a plateau yet,” he said.

Town Hall painting exhibition offers works by four women IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rita Campbell of Englewood, Patti Harrison of northwest Denver, Rachel Hueske of Aurora and Karen Kennedy of Roxborough make up a quartet of artists exhibiting their paintings in “Salon d’ Littleton,” an exhibit that accompanies Town Hall Arts Center’s lighthearted final show of the 2016-2017 season: “Hairspray,” through June 27.

Campbell, a Littleton Fine Arts Guild member and recent Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society, writes that she “enjoys experimenting with different forms of art, including painting with coffee, alcohol inks and melted wax (encaustics).” When Campbell retired from the University of Denver, her husband gave her a gift certificate to Judi Patti’s Painting Studio in Littleton as a Christmas present. Since then, she has continued to study with Patti and attended a number of workshops with area painters. She teaches encaustics technique as well as painting with it. Her brilliantly colored

“Magic Hairspray” by Rita Campbell, 14”x16”, painted with alcohol ink, is part of the “Salon d’Littleton” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center, in conjunction with the musical “Hairspray.”

“Salon d’ Littleton” opens on May 17 in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. A Meet the Artists reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on June 2. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and during productions. 303-794-2787.

“Magic Hairspray” is especially appropriate for a show that accompanies “Hairspray.” She says it uses alcohol ink.

Harrison paints landscapes, animals and florals with a relaxed feeling, as well as high-energy, high-tension abstracts. She has been painting in watercolor, oils and acrylic paints for 15 years and says each offers different challenges. She is also a metalsmith, creating jewelry with silver, copper, cabochons and freshwater pearls — and in both areas is inspired by the beauty of her materials. With an MBA and a BS in science, she worked as a controller until recently. Her work is at the

Hueske says her recent work is inspired by Aboriginal art. She primarily paints in acrylics, but enjoys other media. Trained in K-12 art education, she is also a professional dog groomer.

At this time in her life, she finds time to paint when her 3-year-old and infant are napping. She has exhibited at the PACE Center and Integrative Health in Denver’s RiNo Arts District, Nixon’s Coffee House in Englewood, Copper Mountain Arts Show, Elizabeth Music and Arts Festival and more.

Kennedy, past president of the Roxborough Arts Council, writes: “Changing the colors in the changing light is my fascination. This is what I remember most about any subject I choose. Whether painting wildlife (look for her “Scarface” in the show — a bear appeared in her neighborhood), buildings or people, color is my inspiration … I value working with other artists, sharing knowledge, techniques and gallery experience. I am continuing my education with professional artists.”

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I will be pursuing a career in architecture. I love that it combines some of my favorite subjects — math, physics, art and design — into a single art. I look forward to working with other people and helping them design the homes of their dreams. Architecture is made for its functionality, but it also has the capability to transform the atmosphere of an area and captivate its onlookers. I hope to trans-

form the world through my own architectural design.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

I hope, more than anything else, to make a positive impact on everyone I meet. I’ve always liked the idea of changing the world one person at a time, spreading kindness in small doses to the people around me. It may be cliche, but one small act of kindness can have an amazing impact on a person, whether they’re your best friend or a complete stranger. I aspire to make the world a better place by spreading positivity and happiness.

If I could do anything, it would be to …

Travel around France. The cuisine is some of the best in the world, and the architecture is rich with history and culture. I am enthralled by the French language, so I would love to become fluent through immersion.

Sydney Gonzales Englewood High School Gonzales played basketball and soccer all four years at EHS, was involved in the newspaper and National Honor Society and has volunteered in various events.

Gonzales plans to attend University of Colorado-Denver and study elementary education.

What profession to you want to pursue and why?

I want to be an elementary school teacher. I have volunteered working with kids. I guess the reason I want to be an elementary school teacher is because I love kids.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

I want to work hard to be a good teacher. I want to work with each and every student in my class. I know that education is very important so I want to do everything I can to help all the kids I teach get a good education so they can get ahead in life.

If you could do anything it would be to …

Redo my high school career. If I could do that I would get in a lot more activities like student government. I would still be very involved in athletics, but I would be part of other athletic teams and not just varsity soccer and basketball.

What would you change about the world “How quick we are to judge others based off an initial meeting, story or assumption. Oftentimes, we forget to put ourselves in the shoes of others or find the time to really take a moment to think about how something we say or do could have consequences that we can’t imagine. I feel like if we started to assess people as a whole rather than based off of implicit biases and prejudice, we’d be able to solve a good bulk of problems we currently see in the world.”

— Fese Elango, Cherry Creek

“Censorship. I would change censorship because people’s art and people’s music are being censored for dumb reasons and they can’t express themselves because it’s too ‘inappropriate’ or ‘explicit.’ You know curse words or naked bodies offend people. Embrace differences.”

— Danny Ogles, Littleton

“How people treat each other and want people to see that they are not alone, because there are many people who think they are alone but they aren’t.”

— Gabe Smith, Arapahoe

“I would do away with all the hate in the world. I would do that because there are millions and millions of people in the world and all are different, and there are people when they see people different from them, they hate them and that hurts the people they hate. I guess that makes the people who hate feel superior.”

Sarah Fantle Littleton High School Fantle was involved in swimming, the student council and political committee. She will attend the University of Wyoming, where she plans to study engineering and join the Air Force ROTC program.

What career would you like to pursue and why?

My ideal career that I would like to pursue is something in the aerospace and astronautical engineering field. What exactly I will do, I have no idea.

Though, ideally, I would like to work somewhere in the space travel industry for Blue Origin, SpaceX or NASA. If that was not the path that I took then I would also be interested in regular aircraft design. If I end up being in the Air Force then all the things that I want to do with engineering could potentially be through government work. I really have no idea right now what exactly I will be doing, but my passion lies with flying. So whatever it is that I do, it will revolve around that.

Matt McClurg

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

To find my bliss. Something to make me happy and fulfilled in life. Whether that is through some day having a family of my own, or the power of knowledge and education, or maybe through religion or mission work or serving others. I think finding my path that will get me to that point will be difficult, or maybe it will be the path that I take that will be my accomplishment. I really don’t have some profound point that I want to get to or something super-specific that I want to accomplish. I just want to do the best I can do in life and enjoy the time that I have with the people I love.

If I could do anything, it would be to ...

Go to space. I first became intrigued with space my freshman year of high school when I listened to some audio files of Carl Sagan speaking, and from that point I was captivated with the vastness of the universe. There is so much out there waiting to be discovered, but there is just as much on Earth. And to be at that divide point and be able to look back at our planet and see everything that we are, but also at the same time to look out into never-ending space and everything that we can be and can know would be the most insane opportunity.

Heritage High School McClurg was on the Honor Roll, a National Honor Society member, student government representative and Life 101 leader. He also played football and basketball. He has committed to play football at Oklahoma State University, where he plans to double major in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

What career would you like to pursue and why?

I want to be an engineer.

It’s a great way to display my math and science

skills in the real world.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

Throughout my life experiences, I would like to achieve perfection in everything I do. Life is too short not to excel at anything you put your mind to. Whether it may be football or engineering, I know that giving 100 percent effort in everything I do will result in major success.

If I could do anything, it would be …

Becoming a successful man. I would like to try and show my various attributes to society, in order to let my parents know they are proud of the person that I become.

What would you change about the world and why?

“I would erase all social media and erase the idea of it from everyone’s mind because it has created a false reality for teenagers, and I think our generation has lost the ability to speak to one another about problems and emotions.”

“Give people with disabilities equal opportunities and give them the ability to realize their potential and not have to be confined to the label of their disability.”

— JJ Zykan, Cherry Creek

— Macy Ziegler, Arapahoe

“More super powers cause there aren’t enough of them today.”

“The way the media has forced people to see beauty as pretty and skinny. I think it is wrong to just judge people by how they look because I think everyone is beautiful in his or her own way.”

Courtney Schauer, Englewood

— Avery Hall, Arapahoe

“Ending what I call the epidemic of apathy. What I mean by that is that people just don’t care anymore.

We gotta fix that. We gotta get more involved in what goes on in the world, in others’ lives and stuff like that. I think we will build a more globally conscious world, which is good. “ — Ethan Trampler, Littleton

Mkay Armbrust Valor Christian High School

Nick Beran

always been very good at debate/ communication.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

My two main mentors are Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, as I have always had a desire to create something that makes the world a better place. I want to have an impact on people that makes their lives better and easier.

Armbrust played football and basketball, participated in DECA and also served as a youth group leader. He plans to attend Colorado State University and major in business administration and minor in political science.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart and I plan to run my own business one day. I’m very excited as I’m currently in the midst of a startup that I hope to launch in the fall of 2017.

If I had to choose a real profession I would look into law school, as I have

If I could do anything, it would be to ...

Build a homeless apartment complex in all major cities and allow homeless people to live there and eat daily meals on a regular basis. My goal would be to give them resources to get an education or a job to eventually be independent.

Everyone has hard times and some people just need a second chance or a little help.

Cherry Creek High School Beran has been a part of the Peer Ambassador program, AVID, Rugby Club, band, Unified basketball and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He plans to attend Azusa Pacific University in California.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

One thing I hope to accomplish in life is to inspire and motivate people. My entire life goal was said by someone anonymous and they said, “I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say ‘Because of you I never gave up.’ “ With that locomotion, I seem to have my life totally set, but I do not. Because my world is not in my hands, it is in His hands.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? The profession or career I want to pursue is being a pastor. This profession is an interest to me because I am very involved in my church and all of my role models throughout my life have been my youth pastors. Putting two and two together, I want to inspire the world with God to back me up.

If I could do anything, it would be to ...

Own a potbelly pig as a house pet. A big goal for me is to do things others would not, to be individual. A question I ask myself all the time is, “How many people can say they...?”

Therefore, how many people can say they own a potbelly pig? Exactly.

What would you change about the world and why?

“It would have to be anger.

There is so much hate and anger that it kills.”

— Chelli Sherrett, Littleton

“I would take away all the hate and negativity in the world.”

— Jordyn Baker, Arapahoe

“I would put a stop to all the wars in the world. I would do that because I believe that when people are fighting instead of loving each other a lot goes wrong. I think that results in bad judgments and that is what is wrong with our world. I feel that could change if there weren’t wars and people could see each other for what they really are.”

“I would eradicate the feeling of apathy that many people have for each other and many social issues. There are so many problems in the world that could easily be solved if only more individuals cared about them once they learned about the problem at hand.”

Sam Westra, Englewood

— Eva Doherty, Heritage

“How quick people are to judge one another, because the first step to solving our issues is understanding each other.”

— Molly Frommelt, Cherry Creek

“How much conflict there is in the world. A lot of stuff going on in Syria right now, and the Middle East in general. It’s been going on for years and I think that needs to come to an end.”

— Nick Pepper, Littleton

also biologically,” he said of adolescence. “There’s a lot of changes going on in people’s bodies up until about age 25.”

Mainly, he said, a person’s brain is still developing during those years.

Drugs and alcohol affect how the brain functions, and possibly impact a person’s reward system and self-control.

“We know that there’s issues if people start to use substances in those early years,” he said.

When talking to kids, he recommends parents start young, even as early as grade school age, he said, although using age-appropriate terms.

It’s important for young people to know their parents don’t think using drugs and alcohol is acceptable.

“It’s not a moral thing,” he said. “It’s a safety issue.”

Valuck also cautions that people’s risk assessment of substances has decreased, and he reminds people of all ages that no substance is perfectly safe, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs.

“There is no totally safe drug,” he said. “Every drug has side effects.”

Personal stories connect with kids When it comes to teaching kids about substance use and the power of prescription drugs, Martin believes they have to be reached on an emotional level.

So, he’s willing to get personal.

In those Y.E.S.S. sessions, he opens up about undergoing back surgery a year and a half ago. Martin was prescribed strong painkillers. He says he felt firsthand the effects of becoming reliant on the drugs and then the withdrawal symptoms that followed when he took himself off the drugs to avoid addiction.

And it wasn’t just physical side effects, Martin said. In addition to cravings, Martin said he also began having thoughts and feelings he’d never had before.

Both Martin and Valuck advised parents to let their children know that the “everyone-is-doing it” mentality is a big misconception.

“If you truly want to fit in with your peers,” Martin said, “most kids are not using.”

Martin also recommends that parents stay up-to-date on what’s new in the world of substances. For example, he said, the sheriff ’s office has encountered many students with vape pens that look like USB ports, which can contain a variety of drugs.

“It’s not always nicotine,” he said.

“They can be swapped out for THC. We’ve found heroin in them.”

Most importantly, Valuck emphasized that parents shouldn’t doubt the impact they can have on a child by openly discussing the dangers of drugs and alcohol — not only around times like prom and graduation, but also year-round.

“Research has shown,” he said, “that they listen to us more than we think.”

Historic preservation saluted in Littleton City council among award recipients for helping keep beauty from past

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“People want to live where there is a there, there.” That was longtime Littleton involved citizen Pat Cronenberger’s spin on the well-known Gertrude Stein quote.

May is National Historic Preservation Month, an ideal time to highlight local efforts to maintain and improve Littleton’s impressive stock of historic buildings, its sense of “there.” (There are 45 local landmarks at this writing.)

The City of Littleton’s Historic Preservation Board and Historic Littleton Inc., a membership organization of advocates, collaborated on a May 4 program at the Littleton Museum to recognize local people and projects — with the hope that the list will expand.

HLI board members Rebecca Kast and Margi Clute organized the event.

An ongoing slide show of historic buildings, created by the Littleton Museum’s curator Jennifer Hankinson, ran on the meeting room screen as people gathered, followed by images of the 2017 honored projects and people. Preservation Board Chair Pam Grove and HLI President Gail Keeley announced honorees:

Pat Cronenberger and Susan Thornton, who each served four terms on Littleton City Council and each served as mayor and mayor pro tem, were awarded a certificate for preservation advocacy on May 4. They helped get the necessary structure in place for the city to preserve its historic buildings.

DUSTIN ELLINGBOE • 2017 Outstanding Achievement Award, given for excellence in restoring the exterior of a historic building to its original appearance, went to Bristlecone Construction, Zach Smith and Todd Donati for their restoration of a portion of the Culp Block at 2420 W. Main Street into the Bristlecone Construction office and The Alley restaurant. Zach Smith (a Heritage High

• 2017 Stewardship Award, for long-term care of significant properties, was given to past and present members of Littleton’s City Council

‘

l “in recognition of their outstanding S contribution to historic preservation I in the City of Littleton.” Mayor Bruce a Beckman accepted the award and s many previous council members were a W present.

The councilmembers were honored f for their actions on behalf of the fol- d e lowing historic assets: • Town Hall, 2450 W.

• Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot, a stone building dated 1875, now, after several moves, serving as a passenger station for the RTD Southwest Light Rail line. A Littleton Landmark in 1973, National Register in 1979.

• Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Depot, 1888, was closed and donated to the city in 1967 and moved to Bega Park, where it sat unused until moved to its present Powers Avenue address, where members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild restored it for use as an art gallery. It became a Littleton Landmark in 1973 and is declared eligible for national listing. In 1979, an 1898 caboose was donated to the city and placed on rails near the depot.

An annual grant program assists historic building owners with preservation.

• Geneva Lodge, 2305 W. Berry Ave., was built as a retirement home by the International Geneva Association in about 1920 for former hotel and restaurant workers, with a wing added in 1941. In 1964, the Geneva Complex, designed by Eugene Sternberg, was built on the grounds.

The City of Littleton bought the property in 1975 and built the Littleton Center, intending to demolish Geneva Lodge. Historic Littleton Inc., then called Second Century Fund, persuaded the city to stabilize it until a use could be found. Fisher Associates Architects restored the Craftsman-style building and it is a landmark on the national and city registers.

• Bemis House, 5890 S. Bemis St., built in 1921, was home to community leader and Littleton Independent publisher Edwin A Bemis and his wife, Katherine. In 2005, it was designated a Littleton Landmark and thereafter stabilized, re-roofed, re-shingled and dedicated in 2010.

Arapahoe defeats ThunderRidge to head to quarterfinal match

ThunderRidge’s Katherine Stanley, left, and Arapahoe’s Madelyn Matthews nearly collide at the ball. The Warriors took home the 1-0 victory on May 12, eliminating the Grizzlies in 5A playoff action.

PAUL DISALVO

Warriors will play Cherokee Trail on May 17

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe’s Sydney Maxson provided both the offensive and defensive punch as the Warriors earned a 1-0 second-round girls soccer playoff win over ThunderRidge on May 12 afternoon at Shea Stadium.

Maxson scored on an odd-angled free kick in the 57th minute and then the senior center back sparked the Warriors’ defensive

effort that stalled the ThunderRidge offense.

The win improved Arapahoe’s record to 13-4-0 and propelled the 12th- seeded Warriors into a quarterfinal match May 17 against Centennial League foe Cherokee Trail.

ThunderRidge, the Continental League champions and the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, ended the season with a 13-3-1 record.

Maxson’s game-winning goal came from 20 yards out near the left sideline.

“I had taken a free kick right before and I was upset that it wasn’t a good free kick,” said Maxson, who has signed to play soccer at

Colgate. “I was really focusing on curving the ball so someone could get a head on it and it ended up curving all the way into the goal.

“It was a really tough game to defend because they have a really good player up high in Shae (Holmes), and it was tough shutting her down. We all worked together and got a good result.”

Holmes, a junior midfielder, was the Continental League’s top scorer with 20 goals and 47 points, but Arapahoe didn’t allow ThunderRidge to have many good scoring opportunities and notched its fifth shutout in the past five games.

A trip to state is worth the wait

attie Poole wasn’t about to let what she called a “harsh” round of golf and a long weather delay rain on her parade.

The Heritage junior still managed to qualify and will be playing in the Class 5A state golf tournament at The Club at Rolling Hills in Golden on May 22-23.

She carded a 96 at the OVERTIME Western Regional tournament at Fox Hollow in Lakewood on May 8, but tied for the final statequalifying spot with Anna Branscome of Bear Creek.

A playoff was set, but severe weather was approaching.

Poole and Branscome Jim Benton each made par on the first hole on the Meadow course, but after hitting their tee shots on the second hole, lightning forced the golfers to mark their balls and retreat to the clubhouse.

Then rain and hail started, but Poole had her teammates with her and they waited for more than an hour while coaches and Colorado High School Activities Association officials went over options on how to complete the playoff.

The decision was made to resume play instead of returning the next morning. A Fox Hollow grounds crew worker helped by clearing hail off the second green and the golfers tied the hole with bogeys.

The third hole could not be played because of hail on the fairway so the golfers moved to the par 3 fourth hole, where Poole’s bogey putt won the playoff.

“I was pretty exhausted,” Poole said. “I was excited. My teammates came over and gave me a hug. We all celebrated a little bit.

I got in the car and my mom and I were just sitting there emotionally drained.

“At this point, my main goal at Rolling Hills is to improve my game from how I played at the regional. I had a harsh round.

I didn’t play well at all. I was not expected to go to state after that day. So I’m just looking to play better at state.”

Hilton strikes back Senior right-handed pitcher Jacob Hilton surrendered a year of varsity baseball when he transferred from Arapahoe to Heritage.

He had to play on the Eagles’ junior varsity team last spring, but this year on the varsity he was one of the state’s strikeout leaders as he fanned 67 batters in 48 innings.

Hilton transferred to accompany his sister to Heritage.

“It was pretty tough,” he said. “Heritage is like family to me so I knew most of the guys.

It was tough not being with the team in the playoffs last year.”

Taking one for the team If you want to talk about sacrifice, visit with Rock Canyon golfer Brooklyn Murphy.

To make a complicated situation as simple as possible, the Jaguars finished second in the May 8 Western Regional and qualified a four-player team. However, one of Rock Canyon’s best golfers, Alexis Chan, didn’t play SEE BENTON, P38

Eagles lose tough battle in playoffs Heritage challenges Legacy in state girls soccer tourney

coach Kia Gudewicz said. “This has been an up-and-down season for us.

But our team strength all season has been the ability of our athletes to work together. We really came together down the stretch of the season.”

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Key moments Legacy got a breakaway in the first two minutes of the game. The foul called gave them a free kick that they turned into points. Heritage came back and scored a goal with 22:44 left on the first-half clock. The Eagles were awarded a free kick about 20 yards from the Lightning goal. The free kick sent the ball into the goal area. Defenders and attackers battled for possession until Caitlin Brown got the ball to Julia Best, who kicked the ball into the goal for Heritage to tie the score 1-1.

The tie didn’t last long as the Lightning responded with a goal about 30 seconds later to take the lead for good.

Legacy added a second-half goal to make the final score 3-1.

The 27th-seeded Heritage Eagles entered the second-round game of the Class 5A state girls soccer tournament on May 12 looking to keep up the string of defeating higher-seeded teams as they faced 11th-seeded Legacy in a game played in North Stadium in Westminster. Despite a determined Eagles effort, Legacy won the game, 3-1.

Heritage advanced to the second round by defeating sixth-seeded Fruity-Monument 3-1 in the May 9 first round of the state playoffs.

The Heritage challenge of playing a talented Legacy team was compounded about two minutes into the game when there was a hard collision at the mouth of the Eagles’ goal, resulting in the official giving senior goalie Ashleigh Maguire a red card. She had to leave the game and was replaced in goal by sophomore Tara Hoffman but the Eagles had to remove one of the field players for the rest of the game.

“I am so proud of these girls. They fought hard and didn’t let the fact they were one player down impact the intensity of their efforts,” Eagles

Key players/statistics Best, a junior midfielder, scored the goal for Heritage and Brown had an assist. Sophomore Tara Hoffman moved in as goalie with more than 38 minutes remaining in the first half and played the remainder of the game. Unofficially, she made eight saves on 12 shots on goal.

Heritage’s Thomas wins state crown No. 3 singles player captures title

Members of the Heritage girls tennis team smile after the team received the 2017 state girls tennis sportsmanship award. The award is based on comments submitted by coaches of teams around the state.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lauren Thomas of Heritage won the state championship at No. 3 singles at the May 11-13 Class 5A state girls tennis tournament at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

Heritage also was honored with this year’s girls tennis sportsmanship trophy.

Cherry Creek won the title with 61 points, Mountain Vista was second with 52 points and Ponderosa was third with 42 points. Heritage finished fifth in team standings with 19 points.

TOM MUNDS

Thomas, a Heritage junior, won the state championship at No. 3 singles by defeating Arul Kumar of Cherry Creek, 6-4, 7-5.

“I felt pretty confident coming into today’s championship match,” she said. “After the first three games, I started getting nervous, but I pulled it together to make things work for me.”

She said her serves were good and she tried to hit all return shots deep. She said she focused on staying consistent and felt she did a good job of it.

“Winning the state title was exciting,” she said. “I was at state last year, took fourth at No. 3 singles and I worked really hard to improve my tennis skills for this season. Now I will take lessons and work hard on all aspects of the game to get ready for next tennis season.”

SOCCER FROM PAGE 31

“We knew defensively as a team that we had to play incredibly tight,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire.

“ThunderRidge offensively is a wrecking ball. We knew we had to have a game plan and stick to — and that was the entire team not just the defenders.

Team defense, that’s where it needs to be.

“Holmes is such an incredible player and one of the things we’ve always done, and sometimes it has hurt us, but we never focus on one player. That’s not to say we weren’t paying attention to her, but the team is the one that took care of that.”

ThunderRidge coach Mike Parsons kept encouraging his team to play with a sense of urgency late in the game.

The Grizzlies responded but couldn’t score.

“We’ve dominated so much early

Rock Canyon was hoping to have Chan replace its fourth golfer but because the Jaguars’ No. 4 golfer Ashley Kozlowski was within 10 strokes of the last individual qualifier, the Jaguars could not sub the fourth golfer

in games this year and had halftime leads,” said Parsons. “It was different for us and put pressure on us. And, at least initially in the first half and the first part of the second half, we came out tight. I have a young team and with playoff pressure they just weren’t able to find their comfort zone.

“Why we didn’t find that urgency early in the game is that the physical stuff is one thing but the mental skills is what a lot of them need to work on.”

Parsons praised both Arapahoe and his team.

“Arapahoe is a good team,” he added.

“They are very strong out of the air and they did beat us to a lot of balls.

Kudos to them.

“This was the first time in 15 years that we won the Continental League and we beat our rival Mountain Vista.

I told the girls you have to focus on that and can’t downplay that just because you didn’t win state. It hurts. I’ve got this euphoria and pain at the same time.”

for the state tournament.

They could substitute for one of the top three golfers, so Murphy, who shot a career-best 89 at Fox Hollow, offered to give up her spot so Chan, who finished tied for 13th in the 2016 state tournament, could play in the state tournament.

Air Academy 7, Golden 4 — The Kadets scored two fourth-period goals to seal a win over the Demons.

Cheyenne Mountain 16, Ponderosa 6 — The Indians raced to a 10-2 halftime lead and the Mustangs never recovered.

Thompson Valley 13, Green Mountain 6 — Green Mountain’s Trey Corkin and Trey Towndraw each scored twice but the Rams fell behind early in the loss to the Eagles.

Citizen of the Year ceremony to honor Doug Cohn Doug Cohn talks about the veterans’ memorial at Englewood High School, a project he worked on. The Englewood City Council has selected Cohn as the 2017 Englewood Citizen of the Year for all the time he has volunteered to community projects, including service on boards and commissions as well as helping found the Englewood Historic Preservation Society.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Plans call for speeches, music, dancing and cake during the May 22 ceremonies honoring Douglas Cohn as Englewood 2017 Citizen of the Year.

The event will be held at 6 p.m. at the Malley Senior Recreation Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St., and the Malley Swing Band will provide music for dancing after the ceremony.

In the past, the city council nominated and selected the citizen of the year. This year is the first time residents were asked to submit nominations, which council reviewed. The council announced Cohn’s selection at the March 20 council meeting.

Doug Cohn was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver in May 1947 and the family moved to Englewood in 1951. He attended Englewood schools and graduated from Englewood High School in 1965, then earned a bachelor’s degree in American history with a minor in education from the University of Colorado-Boulder.

A Billy Graham crusade inspired him to enter the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary, from which he earned a Master of Divinity in 1972.

“For the next eight years,” he said, “I did missionary work with young people living on the street in Denver, which included opening a halfway house called the Carpenter’s House.”

When the Carpenter’s House closed in 1978, he entered the family business, Bonnie Brae Hobby Shop on South University Boulevard. The

Hay students then provided some special entertainment as they sang an up-tempo song that was accompanied by choreography.

When it was time for the ceremonial groundbreaking, members of the school board and two parents prepared to each turn a shovel full of dirt to signify breaking ground for the new school and each man and woman with a shovel was assisted by

The six-page report detailed the actions that led to the officer firing the fatal shot in the case that began the afternoon of March 3 when a woman called police and told them Kocher, 32, was threatening to kill her and her friends.

shop was moved to 3421 S. Broadway in Englewood in 1999 and closed for good in 2015.

Cohn is probably best known as the Englewood history guy.

“I have always loved history of our country, our state, and I really became interested in the history of Englewood about five years ago when the issue of the sale of the train station came up,” he said. “Before that meeting I didn’t even know there was an Englewood train depot.

“I went to the meeting to try to prevent the sale of the station and, by the time that meeting was over, the guy rescinded his offer,” Cohn recalled. “After the council meeting, all of those who spoke against the sale met and decided we ought to start an organization to buy the train depot and make it into a museum like the

original Englewood Historic Society proposed.”

The original society that had proposed the museum plans had ceased to exist in 2002, Cohn said, but a new group, the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, was founded in 2012.

The citizen effort to block the city’s sale of the depot came to naught in 2013, but the Englewood Historic Preservation Society continues its work, including frequent history presentations at the Englewood Public Library and the Brew on Broadway.

Cohn joined other society members as strong advocates in the successful effort to have the city create a new Englewood Historic Preservation Commission. The commission was officially established May 15 and has office space in the Englewood Public Library.

a Hay student.

Construction of the new Charles Hay school begins at the end of May as does construction of Clayton Elementary School. Construction of the two schools are phase one of the project to replace four elementary schools and the early childhood center made possible when voters in November 2016 approved the school district request to sell about $98 million in bonds for the project.

Crews will construct a 55,000-square-foot, two story buildings to accommodate about 500 students each at Hay and Clayton.

The cost of construction of each school will be about $21.7 million.

Plans are to complete construction in 11 months so the school will be ready for students in August 2018.

Next on the agenda is the start of construction of the early childhood center. It will be built on the site that used to house Maddox Elementary School. It will be a 35,000-square-foot building and will cost about $16.5 million. Plans are to start construction on the childhood center site at 700 W. Mansfield St. in December.

Construction of the other two elementary schools, Cherrelyn and Bishop, are scheduled to begin in May 2018. Plans are for those new buildings to be open in in August 2019.

style,” the report states.

Kocher sent the woman a text message that ordered her to meet him at South Bannock Street and West Bates Avenue. Police went to the location and, when Kocher saw police in the area, he ran to the house at 2895 S. Bannock St., kicked in the rear door and ran down the stairs.

The report stated Kocher had a .357-caliber pistol and told the woman he planned to kill the several people who were inside the house.

Police surrounded the house and negotiators talked with Kocher on the phone, trying to convince him to let the hostages go and give himself up.

During negotiations, police learned that Kocher had threatened to kill people in the past and that he would rather kill himself than return to prison, the reports says.

“Officers learned that Kocher was former military and was familiar with police tactics,” the report states. “Kocher made demands for alcohol and cocaine, and gave deadlines for them to be provided.”

As negotiations continued, Kocher became agitated and threatened to kill himself or the people he was holding inside the house. He reportedly told officers if the police didn’t move in 90 seconds he would start shooting.

Contract for Englewood concrete work awarded Crews scheduled to begin replacing sections by early June

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Soon after Memorial Day, crews hired by Englewood’s concrete utility will begin work to remove and replace selected sections of privately owned and city-owned concrete that has deteriorated.

The concrete utility allows private property owners to pay annual fees so that when sections of their concrete — such as sidewalks — are identified for replacement, the utility pays for the work.

The city council approved the utility request to award this year’s contract to Custom Concrete Cutting at a cost of $407,394.93 to remove and replace identified sections of private and cityowned concrete.

Larry Nimmo, public works right-ofway services manager, said the cost of replacing city-owned concrete about is $290,000 and is part of the 2017 budget.

The remainder of the cost of the contract is funded by annual utility membership fees.

“We are still working on the exact counts, but last year, the utility replaced concrete at 223 residences and replaced concrete at 31 city-owned locations,” Nimmo said.

Workers will replace concrete in front of private properties and in cityowned locations such as corner curbs, alley entrances and concrete alleys.

Nimmo said the utility identifies concrete that must be replaced because of safety issues. He said in residential areas, the standard is to mark a sidewalk section to be replaced if there is as much as 1.5 inches difference in the height of it and the adjacent sidewalk section, called a stone.

That was when Kaspar, a member of the SWAT team, saw Kocher, who was 6 feet 7 inches tall, standing below the steps in the lower level of the house.

The report stated that the man was there with one of the people in the house and when Kocher raised his right arm, Kaspar fired the fatal shot.

It was stated that the toxicology report showed Kocher, who had been dishonorably discharged from the service, had alcohol and cocaine in his blood. The report also stated that Kocher had robbed a liquor store in Denver the night before the standoff and was a suspect in the robbery of a liquor store in Lone Tree.
