A THIRSTY BUNCH

Arapahoe incident revealed need for changes in system By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Despite selling out well in advance, there was plenty of beer to be had by all June 7 at Civic Green Park during the second annual Highlands Ranch Beer Festival. Among the 48 breweries on the park grounds was Highlands Ranch’s own 3 Freaks Brewery, which debuted its Odd Man Stout and Lucky Clover Irish Red in advance of its soft opening scheduled for this weekend, June 13-15. The brewery plans to be open weekends for the next few weeks before beginning to hold regular hours.

The second annual Highlands Ranch Beer Festival welcomed a sell-out crowd of 1,400 thirsty patrons to Civic Green Park June 7. Beer lovers from across the Centennial State did their best to try as much as they could from 48 breweries from across the region and country. Highlands Ranch had a few of its own breweries on hand as Living the Dream, 3 Freaks and Grist all set up taps, along with neighboring breweries 38 State (Littleton), Rockyard (Castle Rock), Elk Mountain Brewing Company (Parker) and Lone Tree Brewing Company. The event, as it was last year, was sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

Glitches revealed in the Douglas County School District’s emergency communications during the Arapahoe High School shooting prompted a dramatic reworking of the system. With the new SchoolMessenger system, the time it takes to send texts is 34 times faster than with the previous system. Emails are moving at 26 times the speed they did with the previous system, and voicemail is reaching its destination in half the time, DCSD’s internal communications officer Randy Barber told the board of education during its June 3 meeting. “We did test our website, Facebook and Twitter feeds and had good results with those as well,” Barber said. It’s a huge improvement from the time required to send emergency communications on Dec. 13, 2013 — the day of a shooting incident at Arapahoe High School in Centennial that left two students dead. That day, DCSD’s system was overwhelmed by heavy traffic. Emails about DCSD’s response that were supposed to reach parents shortly after the incident arrived three or more hours later, eliciting a flood of complaints. Douglas County’s schools were on lockout status after the shooting, which means staff was on heightened alert, perimeter doors were locked, and visitors were required to use the main entrances and show identification before entering the buildings. “We had delivery failure during the Arapahoe shooting,” said Barber, calling the situation unacceptable. “Obviously, this was a very poignant moment in which we had sent messaging to all of our schools. We had principal reports coming back (that) they were not getting messages. The wheel on our computer is spinning and nothing was going out, or very few messages were going out.” Barber said SchoolMessenger, already used by many other school districts, is time-tested and reliable. DCSD conducted tests of the system in late December, February and May. “Obviously, there is not a lot of time to waste here,” he said. “We wanted to be ready if there was an actual emergency in our schools.” The new system will cost about $15,000 more than the old one, but school officials DCSD continues on Page 7

McCaffrey’s camp continues in year five Dare to Play helps teach kids with Down syndrome the game of football By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hugs were being passed around as much as footballs. The first session of this year’s Global Down Syndrome Dare to Play Football Camp was held June 3 at Valor Christian High School. It is affiliated and runs simultaneously with a Dare to Cheer clinic, which was held at Sports Authority Stadium and Valor. Game day is set for June 14 at Valor between 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. with football games and cheerleaders performing prior to a celebration party. The games will kick-off with two members of the Thunderstorm Skydiving team landing in the stadium. Several Denver Broncos and Broncos cheerleaders will be in attendance. Campers and their buddy partners from the Valor Christian football team went through drills that usually ended with hugs and high-fives. The camp, developed by former Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey, the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, Sie Center physical therapist Patricia C. Winders and Valor coaches, teaches core touch football skills to the participants who also partake in team-building activities. “It’s great,” said Valor senior Sabastian Sock. “I’m loving it. It’s great being out here with all these guys. This is one of everyone’s favorite times. It’s really nice to come out and be able to show football to these kids.” McCaffrey, a former NFL wide receiver, launched the camp in 2010. I was introduced to Michelle Sie Whitten (Global co-founder and Executive Director) by my buddy Luke Stahmer,” related McCaffrey. “He knew that I had been running football camps for a long time. She

Former Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey talks to players during Valor Christian’s Dare to Play camp on June 3. Photos by Jim Benton (Whitten) was interested in creating an opportunity for young men and women with Down syndrome to play the sport of football and have a team activity. “I said I don’t see why we couldn’t put a camp together. Our coaches coach the game, these guys want to play. If you get campers to sign up, I’d be happy to come out and teach them the game of football and give them an opportunity to have some fun with their friends. Unfortunately there are not a lot of opportunities for young men and women with Down syndrome to participate in team activities. I wasn’t aware of that until she informed me of that fact. We’ve got to change that. If there’s anything that I know, it’s football so I said let’s start with a football camp. They do a cheer camp as well.” There were 40 campers at the start of this year’s camp, almost double in size from the first camp four years ago. “We are so grateful to Ed McCaffrey

for helping us put this camp together and to the Denver Broncos cheerleaders who spearhead our Dare to Cheer camp,” said Whitten. “With the help of the Sie Center at Children’s Hospital we are able to provide a safe and nurturing environment where the participants learn to play football and cheer. “Our first year we had several fathers actually tear up because they never thought that they would see their son play football. The joy this brings to our campers, their families and equally to the Valor Christian players really is more than we could ever hope for.’’ McCaffrey has scored a touchdown with this camp. “Every year we look forward to the kids coming out,” said McCaffrey. “You can see they are smiling, high-fiving and having fun with their friends. They are learning the sport and they are playing the game of football.”

Of fires and old flames Littleton Fire Rescue’s first truck turns 100 with tender loving care By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com She leaks and rattles a lot, but she still gets around pretty well and proved it June 4 by visiting her childhood home to celebrate her 100th birthday. The journey did, however, require a lot of back-breaking work on the part of Capt. Mark Gorman, Littleton Fire Rescue. “She’s as cold as a mother-in-law’s kiss,” he said, tossing a glare at her over his shoulder. Regardless, theirs is a 36-year-long love story like no other. “She” is the fire department’s 1914 Federal chemical truck, the city’s first fire truck. The department, then all-volunteer and known as Littleton Hose Company, bought her brand new. They brought her home to Town Hall, 2450 W. Main St., or rather the old version of it. The current building wasn’t built until 1920, and the fire department was where the lobby is now. The Federal lived there until 1977, when Littleton Center was built and Station 11 moved in. She remains there today, though mostly as window dressing. She gets out only for the annual fire muster, on June 14 this year, and the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade, Aug. 16. Gorman will be with her at each event, and will tell anyone who asks every detail about his pride and joy. “I like the history,” he said. “It’s been

around for a long time, and there are people who served this city and district on this truck. This is a fine remembrance of their dedication and sacrifice.” The visit to Town Hall was a special outing to re-create a historic photo of the Federal sitting outside the western-most archway. Members of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants helped her celebrate, snapping selfies with the local celebrity and enjoying rides around the block. But to accomplish it all, Gorman had to get her cranked up — literally. He said the first time he takes her out each year, it takes about an hour and a half of hard physical labor, with his thumb and collarbone at risk of severe injury the whole time. The second time, he said, it’s only about an hour. “I’ll be sore for a week or so,” he said. “You have to do it just a certain way. It’s a dangerous thing.” Imagine being trapped in a burning house in 1914 waiting for the Federal to get ready to go. But she was a distinct improvement to prior conditions, as described at the time by the Littleton Independent: “The men did not have fancy fire trucks, but were obliged to run and drag a heavy two-wheeled cart holding around 750 feet of 2-1/2 inch hose, a few leather buckets, a coal oil lantern or two, axes, crowbars, and a few other odds and ends to do damage with.” Gorman said since the Federal got out more in her younger years, it likely took less time to get her engine revving. But just because she’s old-fashioned and a little cranky now is no reason to dump her, he says. “It’s rare for a fire department to keep such an old piece of equipment, as old rigs are often sold, and an old-fashioned crank-

Capt. Mark Gorman struggles with a crotchety leather clutch to back a 1914 Federal into the entry way of Town Hall Arts Center on June 4. Photo by Jennifer Smith starter like the Federal would normally have been melted for the scrap drive during World War II,” he said. Of course, Gorman is not the Federal’s first love. He was her rebound after LFR Capt. Tom Rybolt dumped her for retirement. But the relationship stuck, and Gorman poured himself into it wholeheartedly. He memorized every part of her during a complete frame-off restoration in 2003, the two of them spending late nights together at the department and sneaking into his back yard on weekends. Her clutch is leather, reverse is temperamental and her oak rear wheels weigh 185 pounds each. Her shiny brass tank holds 30 gallons of water that mixes with sodium bicarbonate, pressurized to shoot high into the air — which came in handy for fighting grain-elevator fires back in Littleton’s agricultural days.

With the help of Gorman’s neighbors, friends and coworkers, today the Federal is as beautiful as ever, with all of her parts replaced, refinished or shined up to a high gloss. “Several members of the department realize how fortunate they are to have this remarkable piece of history and volunteer their time,” said Gorman. After all these years together, Gorman shuns pet names and still just calls her the Federal. “She’s never been disgraced with a nickname,” he says. He knows someday she’ll probably ditch him for a younger guy, he just hopes her future suitors are up to the challenge. But if not, he says, he’ll always be willing to take care of her. “They’ve got my phone number. They know how to reach me,” he grinned.

Pink Lightning ride raises awareness Castle Rock teen sets off on 1,065 mile ride to benefit Children’s Hospital Colorado By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com On June 7, 15-year-old Bryan Warnecke of Castle Rock began a 1,065 bicycle tour to benefit Children’s Hospital Colorado. Bryan has cystic fibrosis, a hereditary disorder that primarily impacts the respiratory system and exocrine glands. It causes the production of abnormally thick mucus, leading to the blockage of the pancreatic ducts, intestines, and bronchi and often resulting in respiratory infection. Inspired by his participation in last year’s Courage Classic bike ride, in which he was the top individual fundraiser raising more than $70,000, Bryan, with the support of his father Steve, decided to create his own Pink Lightning Tour as a prelude to this year’s race. “Early last year Bryan came to me and said he wanted to ride the Courage Classic. So we trained and we rode the ride and he rode the entire route,” Bryan’s father Steve Warnecke said. “We had to stop a couple of times to let his lungs recover a little bit, but he rode the entire route and he raised $70,000, which was the most money ever raised by any rider in the 24 year history of the Courage Classic. “After the ride, we started talking about what we were going to do next. We talked about it over the winter and around Christmas time he decided to do a big ride around Colorado to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Courage Classic.” Bryan’s tour began with a 29.76-mile ride from Children’s Colorado’s main campus at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora to Children’s Colorado’s North Campus in Broomfield. He was joined by more than 20 other Courage Classic team captains and fellow riders. “We hadn’t ridden before (last year). We had so much fun training and on the Courage Classic that we kept riding all summer and we just really had fun,” Steve said. “It’s really good for his lungs too. The prolonged exercise and work helps to keep his lungs healthy.” The 2014 Courage Classic is an annual three-day, 155mile bicycle tour that will run from July 19-21 and begins and ends at Copper Mountain. Funds raised through the Courage Classic benefit the Children’s Fund, helping Children’s Hospital Colorado sustain and improve care for kids by addressing the hospital’s areas of greatest need. Bryan’s care for CF includes 50 pills and two half-hour respiratory physical therapy treatments each day as well as

Bryan Warnecke, 15 of Castle Rock, and his father, Steve, lead the pack as the two hosted the Pink Lightning Tour to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis Saturday June 7.The 29.76 mile ride stretched from Children’s Colorado’s main campus at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora to Children’s Colorado’s North Campus in Broomfield. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando ongoing visits to Children’s Hospital Colorado. He said he intends to ride over 1,000 miles in 43 days around Colorado to thank Children’s Hospital Colorado for keeping him healthy and to encourage other kids with disabilities to remain physically active and pursue their dreams. “When we rode the `Courage’ last year we thought that was it and then this came up. It’s hard to say what comes next, but we intend for this to be a one off,” he said. “It’s the 25th anniversary, so this is special. “If it wasn’t for Children’s Hospital I wouldn’t be standing here today. This is our way of celebrating and giving back and thanking all the people here.” Why Pink Lightning? Bryan loves hockey but realized years ago that he really would not have the lung capacity to skate up and down the ice with as much stamina as others, so he decided to play goalie where quickness is more important than lung capacity. “My first ever goalie pads had a pink x on them and my goalie coach said my legs were super quick so he nicknamed me `Pink Lighting’ and I kind of took it with me in every sport I’ve done since,” he said.

Bryan’s ultimate dream is to be the first person with Cystic Fibrosis to compete in the Olympic Games as the goalie for the USA hockey team. He is currently a goalie for the Arapahoe Warriors Midget Minor hockey team. To find out more about Pink Lighting and donate, visit www.pinklightning.org.

opinions / yours and ours

Father’s Day gives formality to banality Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15. Or is it? I guess if you need to have someone tell you when to honor your father, then Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15, from midnight to midnight. My father and I had an agreement: No gifts. But I always called. Of course, I called him every weekend for the last 20 years of his life, so Father’s Day wasn’t any different. When I was a kid, I fell in line and gave him Old Spice after-shave in those beautiful little off-white bottles. That ended when I turned 13, and we both decided to discontinue Father’s Day gift-giving. What are you going to give someone who has given you everything? At least we have an artist to thank for Father’s Day. Her name was Sonora Dodd, and she came up with the idea at the YMCA in Spokane, Wash., in 1910. I’m not sure what she was doing in a YMCA. I know you can get yourself clean there, and have a good meal there. Dodd simply wanted to follow the success of Mother’s Day with a day for another family member. She ruled out Uncle’s Day

and Stepsister’s Day. The idea got off to a slow start, with low acceptance, and Dodd went off to the Art Institute in Chicago. She returned to Spokane after graduating and renewed her efforts to raise awareness about her project. It wasn’t until 1966 that it became enacted, by Lyndon Baines Johnson, in a proclamation celebrating fathers. The third Sunday in June was chosen. Dodd lived long enough to see it happen. She died in 1978. My own father was a beauty. I have written about him before. We exchanged unanticipated gifts all of the time.

letters to the editor Editor’s note: The following letters were sent

to Colorado Community Media in response to Douglas County School Board Member Doug Benevento’s comments at the June 3 school board meeting. The letters published here reflect the views of more than two dozen people who sent email messages to CCM on this topic.

School board member’s accusations false I am a former educator, and mother of two Douglas County School District students. Although I was not in attendance at last night’s Douglas County School District board meeting, it was brought to my attention that school board member Doug Benevento verbally attacked and threatened Ms. Reuter regarding her reporting on the DCSD school district. He accused her of false reporting and spreading mistruths. I was shocked and deeply offended by Mr. Benevento’s accusations, as his hypocrisy seems to know no bounds; it is this school board who is misleading the community. As a community member, taxpayer, and parent in Douglas County, I appreciate Ms. Reuter’s integrity and unbiased, honest, unspun reporting of what is really going on here. Tricia Zabelin Highlands Ranch ... I watched a live stream of the DCSD meeting last night where school board member Doug Benevento used his position as an elected official to publically attack Jane Reuter. I wanted to let you know that as a community member who no longer has children in the district and who also does my own research, I find her reporting to be accurate and truly appreciate her willingness to sit through long board meetings in her effort to accurately report. Her efforts should be praised, not condemned and she has my full support. Pat Crowley Lone Tree

... I would like to express my gratitude for the coverage by Jane Reuter in regard to the Douglas County School District. I am a parent of two children in DCSD and have grave concerns for the direction of the district. I am thankful that I can often share her well-researched articles with my neighbors. I had never read much of your paper until the school issues arose. I now open it immediately to see what is happening. I will continue to look for her fair and balanced articles regarding both sides of DCSD happenings. Anne-Marie Lemieux Highlands Ranch ... Jane Reuter was unfairly attacked by members of the Douglas County School Board last night. I am writing to you to express my support and thanks for Jane’s reporting of events concerning the school district. Jane has been one of the few journalists willing to report on both sides of the story while most others only “report” on the information given by the district. Teachers and parents have been silenced or ignored by district leadership and I hope that you continue to support Jane in her efforts and do not allow them to silence her, too. Amy DeValk Highlands Ranch ... I wish to thank Jane Reuter for her accurate reporting of school district events in Douglas County. I am a retired teacher of 40 years of service in the DCSD and am actively involved in many of the events that are the subjects of her reports. She includes quotations from people on both sides of an issue and her reports are timely and informative. Last night at a DCSD school board meeting, Ms. Reuter was publicly criticized for biased reporting and I believe that this accusation is false. Leslie A. Stevenson Highlands Ranch

We had a gift-giving family. But gift-giving was limited or nonexistent on designated holidays, including Christmas. Mom and Dad would check out of a hotel, and the desk clerk would say, “It’s been paid for, by your son,” or “It’s been paid for, by your daughter.” A waiter would come to their table and say, “It’s been paid for, by your son.” Dad went to Home Depot to pay for their new vertical blinds, and was told, “It’s been paid for by your son and your daughter.” I could never have done that in the Old Spice days. It took months to save up enough money to buy a bottle. One time I boarded an airplane in Johnson City, Tenn., and the flight attendant said, “Your father upgraded you to first class.” When it comes to fathers, I was one of the lucky ones. Unfortunately, not every father is like mine. Some fathers abandon, neglect, abuse or molest. Is there anything worse than having an abusive parent? Father’s Day has never been as success-

ful as Mother’s Day, as a day of commerce. Restaurants are packed on Mother’s Day. Insipid greeting cards fly off the shelves. Children promise to dust, or to bring mom breakfast in bed. My father had his hands full — with me. If you have been a reader, you know by now that things bother me. Lots of things. Lots of things started to bother me at an early age. My father never tried to change my behavior. What kind of a miracle is that? He never told me to conform or to believe what he believed. Some fathers think they know exactly what is best. Robert Young didn’t even know what was best. The “Father Knows Best” actor suffered from depression and alcoholism, and he attempted suicide in 1991. Anyway, happy Father’s Day, June 15, 16, 17 and 18. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net.

Earning trust begins with love Have you ever tried to take away a food bowl from an eating dog? If you do not have a relationship with that dog built on love and trust, anyone who has attempted this can surely share their pain and probably even show you the bite scars left behind as a lesson that was probably never forgotten or repeated. As most of you know by now, I typically write this column each week based on a recent event or observation. Well, my above-mentioned reference came from a personal experience with my own dogs yesterday. With the thunderstorms and hailstorms I had gotten delayed and tied up away from home longer than anticipated. So by the time I had arrived home to feed my little guys, they were starving for sure. I filled and placed their bowls into their familiar spots and they hungrily started devouring their food. They were so ravenous that they soon pushed their partially eaten bowls under the counter and were trying to eat with their heads tilted sideways to reach their meals. Without hesitating I leaned over and gently pulled their bowls out from under the counter, they never missed a bite, never growled or snarled, and I could swear I caught a little thankful glance from both puppies as they comfortably continued eating. Now I know many of you reading this have dogs and love them dearly, and you

receive that same love in return with every walk, cuddle, lick, and shared meals and snacks. But I also know many people, myself included, who have made the mistake of petting a dog, taking away food, or moving too fast only to be bitten. I actually had a hungry German shepherd take a bite out of my cheek once as I was eating a cupcake; apparently he liked chocolate cake and vanilla frosting, too, and silly me for not sharing. As I thought about my own dogs, though, I was reminded that earning trust, building trust, and maintaining trust takes time and commitment. I have had my dogs for more than four years and have loved on them and spoiled them just like many of you do with your own pets. And then I thought about it a little deeper — what about my family and friends? Have I

Charter to focus on earning college credit Colorado Early Colleges opening Parker school By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado Early Colleges, a charter high school designed to earn college credits for its students, is opening a campus in Parker. The building near Lincoln Avenue and Parker Road is the third location for the school, launched in Colorado Springs in 2007. A total of 215 students already are enrolled to start classes in Parker on Aug. 12. The school is still accepting applications for its first semester. The free public high school helps its students earn college credits along with their high school diplomas. Early Colleges is aimed at both students who are college-bound and those who might not otherwise have considered col-

lege, offering the opportunity to earn associate degrees and concurrent enrollment credits to use toward higher degrees. “We want every student to be successful and have the opportunity to get as many college credits as they can while they’re still in high school,” said John Etzell, head of school at Colorado Early Colleges’ Douglas County campus. “A lot of high schools are doing concurrent enrollment. While they are branching out into that market, it is our 100 percent focus.” Colorado Early Colleges was founded by Colorado Springs City Council President Keith King, a former state senator. King was moved by what he saw as a lack of post-secondary education options. “Especially for students who may not have thought they were college material,” Etzell said. “If they were ready and wanted to put in the work, he would design a school and system that would allow students to achieve more while they were in high school at zero cost to them.

“The only cost a student has is the responsibility cost. It is hard work.” School leaders first consult with students to determine the right educational track. “If they come in and aren’t sure what they want to do, we’ll sit down and work backwards, (ask them) `What are you interested in?’” Etzell said. “We’ll start from there and work our way back.” Classes are offered both on and off campus. The Douglas County branch has a partnership with Arapahoe Community College for its professors to teach nine college-level classes. It also has agreements with ACC, Red Rocks, Front Range and Pikes Peak community colleges, Metro State and the University of Colorado-Denver that allow its students to attend those schools. Parents receive a $4,200 voucher, a portion of Colorado Early Colleges’ per-pupil state funding, to use toward tuition and books.

Some students earn associates degrees and start work upon graduating from Colorado Early Colleges. For those wishing to attend a four-year college, “This gives them an opportunity to get the first two years (of college) out of the way at zero cost, so they can enter whatever four-year university they’re planning to attend as juniors and get right into their field of study,” Etzell said. “We’ve got students who every year are Ivy League-bound, and students who every year graduate with culinary art degrees and go into the workforce as chefs.” Etzell said the Parker school received a waiver from the Douglas County School District’s exclusive chartering authority, and instead is authorized through the Colorado Charter School Institute. Colorado Early Colleges has about 700 students at its Colorado Springs and Fort Collins campuses. For more information, visit http:// csec914.org/.

School district plans community survey Work underway to determine potential cost By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District plans to conduct a community survey, the first since 2012, school leaders said during the board of education’s June 3 meeting. A timeline for the next survey isn’t set. Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said staff will research costs and options for a thirdparty professional survey and return to the board with recommendations in late summer or early fall. Once done annually, a district survey hasn’t been conducted since 2012, when

put in that same level of effort of spoiling and loving on them to earn and build that trust? And yes, loving on them to build that trust could include some “tough love” to avoid one-sided love or one-sided commitments. I am reminded of the old question, “How often should we tell our spouse we love them?” Many people try and answer this in several ways, “Every day,” “As often as you can,” “Ten times a day,” and other very close guesses. The real answer is this, “Before someone else does!” Well what about our other family members and close friends, how often should we tell them we love them? How about our customers, how often should we tell them we love them? And what about our employees and even employers, would it make sense to ask ourselves how often we should tell them we love them? And the answer to all of the

said the added expense is warranted. “Although SchoolMessenger brings a slight increase in cost to the district, the efficiency and effectiveness gained regarding emergency communications is well worth it to ensure timely notifications to parents and staff,” reads an email from DCSD public information office

DCSD discounted the 6 percent response rate as too small to be statistically valid. Community members in attendance, many of whom repeatedly have requested the return of a survey, applauded the news. Board president Kevin Larsen said the survey will attempt to determine if the community understands and supports DCSD’s strategic plan. The plan, introduced in 2011, outlines the district’s roadmap for reforming education, including its choice programming, world-class education initiatives and system performance tools that allow DCSD to measure the results of its initiatives. “I think it’s a great idea, too,” Fagen said, noting DCSD is about to release an updated version of the strategic plan. “I think it’s a great time to go out and gather feedback.” To avoid the low response rate gener-

above is, “Before someone else does.” There are many ways to earn, build and maintain trust, like consistent and honest communication, respect, gratitude and appreciation, and so many more. And there are certainly too many more to cover in one brief column. But love, mutual love, demonstration of love, unconditional love, appreciation of love, and pure love would be an awesome place to start as we look to earn, build and maintain trust. It will also provide us with some protection from small bites and big bites, as we may have to move that proverbial bowl of food from time to time from someone very close to us, whether they are the four-legged kind or human. I would love to hear your “tail” or “tale” of love and trust at gotonorton@gmail. com. And as we fill our days with both, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/ founder of www.candogo.com.

Paula Hans. Total cost for the SchoolMessenger service during the 2014-15 academic year will be about $90,000. That reflects a DCSD-negotiated reduction in cost from $2.50 per student to $1.27 per student. In 2013-14, DCSD paid about $74,500 for the previous service, Shoutpoint. Shoutpoint provided emergency communications as part of DCSD’s Infinite Campus system. Though SchoolMessenger replaces Shoutpoint, Infinite Campus still will be used to track attendance and school records.

ated during the 2012 survey, Fagen said, “We’d really like to work through a third party that does this professionally to make sure we do get appropriate response rates (and) sample sizes, and that we use strategies beyond sending around email links. Those haven’t proven to necessarily be the best and most reliable strategies.” That could mean the survey will be conducted in a variety of ways, including doorto-door and over the phone. Questions posed in the survey must be “sound and give us the data we’re looking for,” Fagen said, “not vague and don’t tell us the information behind the response.” “We’d want to have some robust dialogue about what those questions would be,” Larsen said. Some parents, who believe the surveys are needed to gauge community satisfac-

tion with the district’s policies and direction, requested the survey’s return during the March 3 Board Unplugged meeting; Larsen said then he would address that request. While not specific to K-12 education, a 2014 county-sponsored survey showed a decline in positive impressions of Douglas County as a place with good schools and educational opportunities. The 2012 district survey, taken by nearly 5,000 parents, showed general satisfaction with their children’s education. But more than 50 percent gave unfavorable ratings to the voucher program, 48 percent questioned whether the district was wisely allocating resources, and 39 percent responded “unfavorable” when asked if the district was headed in the right direction.

STEM’s first graduate gets big sendoff Classmates, teachers, district leaders celebrate single-student graduation By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com With senior classes at most Douglas County High Schools numbering in the 400plus range, the individual attention granted to most students during graduation is limited to a handshake. Not so for Zander Kayyali. Not only did all the members of his school’s junior class and most of its teachers attend his graduation ceremony, so, too did the charter school’s board president and the Douglas County School District’s board president. Zander was the first graduate of STEM High and Academy, and the only senior in the Class of 2014. “It was cool,” said Zander. During ceremonies at other schools, “If a senior gives a speech, they get some attention. Otherwise, your name gets called. I had three teachers get up and talk about me. And my favorite teacher handed me my diploma and gave a very personal speech about me.” While Zander said he smiled through the ceremony, his parents watched through tears. “I don’t cry that often, but I was crying,” Zander’s dad Sam said. “It was very, very per-

sonal and very emotional.” Zander’s mom Deanna cries still at the memory of the May 28 ceremony, held at the school. STEM High never expected to have a graduate in 2014. The school, which opened in 2011 serving sixth- through ninth-grade students, has added a class annually. It planned its first senior class was for 2014-15, and anticipates a graduating class of 35 next spring. But Zander was an accelerated student who took summer classes and some collegelevel courses. Realizing he would graduate alone, the school had to make a decision. “We had to scramble,” principal Penny Eucker said. The school had just completed its $3.1-million high school renovation, which includes a student gathering area with expansive mountain views. While the room won’t be big enough to host next year’s 35-student graduation, it seemed ideal for Zander. “We had a lovely ceremony,” Eucker said. Including family members, fellow students, staff and guests, about 150 people attended Zander’s graduation. The one-of-a-kind ceremony was a fitting way to mark the end of a unique educational experience. Zander, who lives with his family in Centennial, started high school at Cherry Creek but felt lost among the large student body. Gifted in science and engineering, he felt he needed a different environment and a different focus. STEM, which emphasizes project-

From left, Deanna, Zander, Maya and Sam Kayyali celebrate Zander’s May 28 graduation from STEM High and Academy. Courtesy photo based study in science, technology, engineering and math, was the right fit. “You can see the difference in my report card and my grades,” he said. “It changed me academically. Maybe even personally.” Sam saw a dramatic change in his son. Before, “He was lost in the shuffle,” he said. “He really wasn’t prepared to make that jump into a 5,000-student high school. At STEM, he had that more personal relationship with his teachers; they spent more time with him. “His voice was heard by the staff and students. He took it seriously and he took a lead-

Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening Celebration at Land Rover Denver The South Metro Denver Chamber proudly supported the opening celebration of Land Rover Denver last Thursday, May 22nd. The new dealership is the result of the Kuni Automotive Company’s purchase and merger of Land Rover Denver East and Land Rover Highlands Ranch in 2011, and the renovation of the 6160 South Broadway property. Over 100 guests were greeted by the friendly Land Rover Denver staff and offered complimentary valet parking. The celebration kicked off with remarks from Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. McGilley reflected on the dealership becoming part of the KUNI Automotive family, a great community organization. “The South Metro Denver Chamber is thrilled to welcome Land Rover Denver to our area. They provide a vital product to our adventurous Coloradans,” said McGilley. The Chamber Board of Directors Chair is held by Herm Brocksmith, president/general manager/operating partner of Kuni Honda on Arapahoe. Chamber member and Mayor of Littleton Phil Cernanec also commented on the importance of the Kuni Automotive family’s importance to the state of Colorado. The automotive group currently owns 5 dealerships in Colorado, as well as dealerships in California, Oregon, and Washington.

Joe Eberhardt, president of Jaguar Land Rover North America, and Greg Goodwin, CEO KUNI Automotive, focused their remarks on Anthony Brownlee, president/general manager Land Rover Denver. According to Eberhardt and Goodwin, the new location’s success can be attributed to Brownlee’s leadership and ability to create a positive work environment. The ribbon cutting was followed by a live ice sculpture cutting of the Land Rover logo and refreshments. “It was as classy as the vehicles,” said Peggy Cole, Little City Councilmember and Chamber member. The high profile event was

ership role (at the school). He’s a totally different person now.” Different, and ready — Zander and his family agree — for the transition to college. Zander will attend Colorado State University and major in chemical engineering. Zander’s graduation leaves not only a lasting memory, it sets STEM on a path school leaders hope other students can follow. “Our goal is every student will get to their first choice college,” Eucker said. “Zander only wanted CSU engineering and he got in. So we’re one for one.”

well-attended by local politicians and business leaders including former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and Brian Shaw, coach of the Denver Nuggets, and Gary Tedder, president of Southern Hospitality Franchisee Holding Corporation.

LYFE Kitchen Announces First Colorado Location with “Sprout Cutting” LYFE (Love Your Food Everyday) Kitchen, a “fresh casual” restaurant, celebrated the upcoming June 6 opening of its first Colorado location with South Metro Denver Chamber business leaders on Wednesday, May 28. In a whimsical celebration of health, they cut a garland of Brussels sprouts and peppers to mark the occasion. Prior to the sprouts ribbon cutting, Mike Donahue, partner and chief communications officer, provided welcoming remarks, as did DJ and Rachel Mitchel, owners of LYFE Kitchen Park Meadows. Joining them were Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber, Rick Whipple, chair-elect of the South Metro Denver Chamber and owner of WhippleWood CPAs, and Pamela Schenk-Kelly, general manager of Park Meadows Retail Resort. “We are thrilled to bring the LYFE Kitchen concept to Denver,” said DJ Mitchell, owner/operator or LYFE Kitchen Denver. “We believe LYFE Kitchen and our motto of ‘Eat Good. Feel Good. Do Good,’ will be a perfect addition to the area given the active lifestyles of the people who live in the community.” Over 75 guests were treated to a luncheon featuring some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes. “Great event, the food was

fabulous and location perfect. I will definitely be coming back often!” said Gloria Eddy, director of marketing for MassMutual Colorado and Chamber member. LYFE Kitchen provides great-tasting, good-for-you food that is convenient and affordable. LYFE Kitchen offers delicious dishes to meet a variety of food preferences, and uses locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. The message of “Eat Good” is brought to life through inspired dishes created by executive chefs Art Smith and Tal Ronnen, as well as Jeremy Bringardner, who recently won the title of Chopped Champion on the Food Network’s cooking competition show, Chopped. LYFE Kitchen’s three visionary chefs spent an entire year pursuing the LYFE Kitchen Restaurant taste quest - exploring varieties of herbs, spices and sauces - to develop flavors and find the ingredients that make LYFE’s menu so delicious. “The South Metro Denver Chamber is thrilled to have a health restaurant option for our members and neighbors,” said McGilley. “The food and smoothies were delicious and attendees went back for seconds on every item served.”

CU seeks ideas from businesses School opening campus in south metro area By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com University of Colorado officials want to hear from south metro businesses about what they’d like to see offered at the school’s future hub. CU will begin offering classes and labs on the second floor and in the basement of Parker’s Wildlife Experience this fall. While those classes are set, future possibilities remain open. “We’re just starting,” Don Elliman, chancellor of the CUDenver and Anschutz Medical campuses, said at the June 5 Denver South Economic Development Partnership breakfast. “We have no idea other than the fact that we’re committed to build these programs exactly what direction we’re going to go in. I look at that as a positive and not a negative. “We want to have your counsel and advice in designing program that meet your needs,” he said. “We’re here to meet your needs, not the other way around. Our goal is to partner with you to build programs that benefit you (and) your labor force.” Except for the nursing courses, classes will be held at

night. The museum will continue its normal daytime operations. Fall offerings include a range of undergraduate and graduate-level courses in business, addiction counseling, computer forensics, nursing and engineering. Fields of study were based on the industries most represented in Douglas and Arapahoe counties. Construction is under way to convert more than 7,400 square feet of exhibit space on the museum’s second floor to two 48-seat classrooms and a large computer lab, and to turn nearly 4,000 square feet in the basement into a simulation lab for nursing students. The 23 nursing program slots already were filled three weeks after registration opened. That’s no surprise to Elliman, who said CU’s initial market study of the area’s highereducation options showed it’s underserved. “We found there appeared to be a significant demand for services south in the metro area that simply weren’t being met today,” he said. “The barrier of moving south of Hampden, which some people called the Berlin Wall, was formidable.” Elliman said CU might someday offer courses at its south campus to help those who never completed their degrees. “There are so many people who’ve gotten two to three years into a four-year degree” and never finished, he said. That’s among many options still on the table. “We’re really excited about the opportunity and frankly,

Group seeks independent thinkers Common Sense Citizens working on core message By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com John Brackney might have left the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, but that hasn’t slowed down his efforts in the political arena. “America is so messed up that unless we have a nonviolent revolution, our children and our grandchildren will have a declining quality of life,” he told a meeting of the Common Sense Citizens, a grassroots effort he spearheaded along with Brian Vogt. Longtime friends and cohorts, Brackney succeeded Vogt as the president of the chamber. Brackney left there in March and Brackney headed to marketing firm Webolutions, and Vogt heads up Denver Botanic Gardens. But they’ve stressed that Common Sense Citizens has never been a chamber effort, but was born of their personal frustration with the debilitating effects of today’s extreme polarization in politics. Joining them as organizers are Andrew Graham, John Vachalek and Patrick Pratt. “Instead of sending problem-solvers and negotiators to Washington, we often send adherents and pledge-signers, people who refuse to compromise for fear that they will lose the support they need to keep a job that has become

less respected and less impactful,” they write on their Meetup page. “It is no wonder we are in a mess, one which will grind the genius of America into mediocrity.” Brackney spent time during the group’s May 31 meeting telling members about another of his recent passions, his work with the national Fix the Debt Campaign. That organization was founded by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, authors of widely praised but failed legislation addressing the fiscal health of the nation. “Just by putting our head in the sand and thinking something will get better is probably not a rational way to live,” said Brackney. “We have to behave better as a family or as a business, and we have to behave better as a country.” Common Sense Citizens is gearing up for the November elections by identifying core values and pushing them out to the public via a series of videos. “Let’s get this moving,” said Brackney. “This election cycle, we’re the center of the country. You have the resources, let’s rock.” Graham, who is on the city of Littleton’s planning board, agreed. “Put something on the board, and then tear it apart,” he said. “Otherwise we’re just talk.” Subcommittees are working on establishing a common voice for the group, which now includes 111 members on its Meetup page. They span personal, professional and political spectrums: young, old and in between; Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliateds; attorneys, students, entrepreneurs and politicians. Common bonds include dissatisfaction with a broken system, a desire to bridge gaps, concern about the economy and valuing a grassroots, local approach.

CU isn’t the only university breaking through the socalled Berlin Wall of Hampden Avenue. Colorado State University plans a future campus on Lone Tree’s undeveloped property in the RidgeGate development, east of Interstate 25 and south of Lincoln Avenue. Any construction there is still a few years away.

Measure means shorter wait at the DMV Hickenlooper visits Lakewood to sign Senate bill into law By Clarke Reader

creader @coloradocommunitymedia.com The department of motor vehicles is certainly not the most glamorous place to have a bill signing, but it was the most fitting for the work Gov. John Hickenlooper and others came to do. Hickenlooper, Sen. Pat Steadman (DDenver), Rep. Cristana Duran (D-Denver) and Rep. Cheri Jerou (R-Evergreen) were joined by Barbara Brohl, executive director of the Department of Revenue, at the Pierce Street DMV on June 5 to sign a bill aimed at reducing DMV wait times. SB14-194, also known as the “Driver’s License Fee Allocations” bill, changes the

funding of the DMV in the hopes of creating a 15-minute wait time. Brohl described the bill as a major step forward in the modernization of the DMV, and it will allow for two consecutive online driver license renewals, granting the Department of Revenue fee setting authority within defined parameters, and consolidating cash funds to achieve greater administrative efficiency. “Given all that goes on here at the DMV, this is the perfect place to sign this historic bill,” Brohl said during the signing. “The positive impact it will have on how the DMV does business will help all of Colorado.” The DMV received funding to enhance staff coverage during peak hours, expand office hours, provide additional training, and expand online appointment scheduling statewide. This will assist is reaching the Gov-

ernor’s vision of average 15 minute wait times at Driver’s License offices. “This all goes a long way to streamlining and cutting red tape here (at the DMV),” Hickenlooper said. “It will help us comply with the Real ID act as well.” The DMV also received funding for Colorado DRIVES, the DMV’s IT capital construction request. This project will replace both the antiquated title and registration system and the driver’s license system, which will increase efficiency and allow for better communication. “The DMV has been due for a make over for a long time, and we will see some real improvements in the coming years,” Steadman said. Duran highlighted the importance these changes will have in making it easier to get IDs and for Gerou the bill represented a fitting completion for her time in office. “This is my last bill signing, and it makes

Brohl added that the process of bringing the wait time to the desired 15 minutes will take time, but people should see some serious reductions in wait time along the way.

Governor vetoes road transparency bill By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that sought more scrutiny of the teaming of state and privately-backed road projects has failed to make it any further than Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk. Senate Bill 197 — a bill that would have provided greater oversight and transparency for private-public road construction

partnerships — was vetoed by Hickenlooper on June 4. However, some of the bill’s intent survived. The bill — a response to grumblings over the US 36 road project process — would have required any “P3” project that exceeds 35 years to be approved by the Legislature. It also would have required a Colorado Department of Transportation board to hold public meetings throughout any road project process and keep the

RED ROCKS CONCERTS

Legislature and other local elected officials informed along the way. The $425 million, 50-year US 36 project, which will widen the lanes of the highway and incorporate toll lanes, received a great deal of criticism by local residents who felt as though the P3 contract was too secretive and that they were kept out of the loop on key parts of the project. Hickenlooper supports the part of the bill that sought greater transparency and signed an executive order that requires the state to improve “accountability, transparency and openness” of CDOT P3 projects. But the overall bill, which he said contained “unworkable provisions,” was vetoed. Hickenlooper issued a statement, saying that he took issue with parts of the bill that required legislative go-ahead for projects that exceed 35 years and other features that “inappropriately constrains the business terms of future P3 agreements.”

“These constraints on business terms would create a chilling component on future transactions, making investors unlikely or unwilling to bid on Colorado projects due to the increased risks this process would generate,” the governor said. Hickenlooper’s statement was accompanied by a list of 48 persons or local government entities that called on the governor to veto the bill, including many business organizations. Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, a bill sponsor, said she was disappointed with the governor’s decision, but that the executive order means that her effort did not go for naught. “I hope we can build on the transparency piece so that we can move toward figuring out a way to figure in oversight,” she said. “We’ll work on this again. I don’t think this is a black and white issue.”

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The regulation of ride-sharing services and the creation of a first of its kind marijuana banking law highlighted a busy week of deadline decisions on the part of Gov. John Hickenlooper. June 6 was the last day for bills that passed the Legislature this year to become law. Last week, Hickenlooper made decisions on dozens of bills, including the signing of legislation that allows the Public Utilities Commission to regulate ride-sharing services by companies such as Uber and Lyft. The transportation network companies allow passengers to book rides through a smartphone application. However, up until the bill’s signing, those companies did not face any of the kinds of regulations that are required for other transportation services, such as taxis. The bill would require businesses like Uber and Lyft to carry liability insurance, conduct background checks on drivers, inspect vehicles and receive permission to operate from the PUC. The bill received bipartisan sponsorship and support from both legislative chambers. “Now that Senate Bill 125 has been signed into law, the necessary safety regulations will be in place and these new, innovative transportation services will have the freedom to expand in Colorado,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada. The governor also took action on the following pieces of legislation last week: • Hickenlooper vetoed Senate Bill 23, which sought to incentivize Western Slope owners of water rights to make water conservation improvements. The governor’s office said Hickenlooper chose to veto the bill “because of unresolved concerns about its potential impact to water rights.” Hickenlooper expressed concern over “a

breakdown in consensus toward the end of the legislative session that divided the water community and, in our view, would make implementation of the policy more difficult.” Rep. KC Becker, D-Boulder, expressed disappointment over the veto through an emailed statement that read, “The governor repeatedly states that our water efforts need to begin with conservation. … He missed a great opportunity to incentivize water conservation by Western Slope water users.” • The governor signed into law a bill that creates a financial system for marijuana businesses. House Bill 1398 allows retail marijuana and hemp businesses to enter into a banking cooperative system that would operate similarly to credit unions. Supporters say the new law is needed to protect shop owners from crime that can occur when dealing in a cash-only business. Because marijuana is considered an illegal drug at the federal level, federal banking rules make it more difficult for retail pot businesses to gain banking services from financial institutions. • Hickenlooper also signed into law a bill that creates stiffer penalties for those who commit child sex crimes. The governor signed House Bill 1260, Colorado’s version of “Jessica’s Law.” The law — which the majority of states have enacted some version of — is named after a 10-yearold girl in Florida who was raped and murdered by a convicted sex offender. The law creates new mandatory minimums for various felony classifications of sex crimes on children. The most severe of those punishments carry with them prison sentences of 24 years to life. For the past two years, Republicans have pursued their own version of a Jessica’s Law bill, which contained a strict, 25-year minimum sentence for each felony case of child sex assault. That bill, as it did last year, failed in the Democrat-majority Legislature, in favor of the Democrats’ own version.

In addition, the volunteer board service on most of the major boards in the county and community over 30 years has given me a unique skill set. I have an understanding of water, transportation networks, economic development, open space, libraries, cultural centers and county human services. Q: What do you believe is the most important issue in the eyes of the people you would serve if elected, and how would you approach this issue? Our most important issue is renewable, sustainable water for the next 100 years. We have and must continue to protect those homeowner and small business values by being at the table with our many water providers. The county is not a water provider but it can be a team member with those water districts. Currently, the Rueter-Hess Reservoir has 10,000 acre-feet of water in it. At the 12,000 acrefeet milestone, it will equal Cherry Creek Reservoir. The ultimate capacity will be 75,000 acre-feet. Water must not be an inhibitor to the future of Douglas County and its people. To learn more about Strain’s viewpoints, visit www.strain4commissioner.com.

A: The coroner’s office needs new leadership. Douglas County residents desire an experienced leader with expertise in the Colorado coroner system. Residents deserve a coroner who’ll improve professionalism, address employee turnover and direct the office toward national accreditation. Currently, the office is not eligible for accreditation. Douglas County deserves an office that maintains national standards. As your next coroner, the office will be based on professionalism and solid relationships with law enforcement and other county agencies while maintaining fiscal responsibly. With my proven track record in Colorado, I’m the most qualified candidate with leadership abilities necessary to address these issues.

A: The most important issue is maintaining the high quality of service to our community that is the hallmark of our current coroner’s office. This issue includes qualifications, integrity, experience, and fiscal responsibility. Frankly, it is concerning that my opponent is backed by many of the people who failed to clean house, maintain proper controls and policies, wasted our tax money, and employed people who tarnished Douglas County government’s image and reputation by their actions and crimes.

REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES

Kopp hopes vision pays off with voters

Beauprez comes back for second chance

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com It makes sense for a guy with the least amount of name recognition among a crowded field of Republican candidates for governor to spend time with Coloradans whom he believes have been considered an afterthought. Recently, Mike Kopp kicked off a six-day bike tour called “We are Colorado.” The tour covered 436 miles across the state and focused on places that aren’t called Denver or Boulder. Rather, Kopp rode around and talked to folks in places like Lamar and Holly. “It’s a reflection of the fact that so many people around the state feel like they’re forgotten,” Kopp, a resident of the Golden area, said in a Kopp recent interview. “It’s the elites in the city, and in Washington and on the East Coast, who make the decisions for them, and they’re the ones left picking up the pieces for big government decisions.” Kopp believes that Democratic-led policies — particularly gun-control legislation and renewable energy mandates on rural

electric cooperatives — have angered those who live in lightly populated parts of the state. “The sentiment out there is largely that you’ve got a party in Denver and the Democrats seem to pay more heed to Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg as opposed to the values of our own state,” Kopp said. Kopp believes his message will resonate with Republican voters, who on June 24 will select their preferred candidate to match up against Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper this fall. Kopp is a former state Senate minority leader, having represented Senate District 22 from 2007 through 2011, when he resigned after his wife, Kimberly, died of cancer. He has since remarried. Prior to holding office, Kopp served in the Gulf War as an Army Ranger. In April, Republican state assemblygoers gave Kopp the top line on the GOP primary ballot. That surprised many political observers, seeing as how Kopp’s name isn’t as well-known as his three opponents: Tom Tancredo, Bob Beauprez and Scott Gessler. Kopp continues on Page 16

`Honey badger’ fights for nomination

Tancredo proud that he’s not right in step

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Scott Gessler is proud to be nicknamed after a ferocious weasel. A few years ago, Democrats started calling the Republican secretary of state the “honey badger,” stemming from a viral YouTube video about the tenacious African mammal. The video’s narrator says that the honey badger always gets what it wants and “has no regard for any other animal, whatsoever.” Gessler — a Denver resident who is often at odds with Gov. John Hickenlooper and other Democratic officeholders — wears the honey badger moniker as a badge of honor. “Because I stand up on principle and people aren’t used to seeing that,” Gessler said in a recent interview. Gessler hopes that Republican Gessler primary voters will reward his work as secretary of state and his fighting personality when they head to the polls to select their nominee for governor on June 24. And he believes he’s the right candidate for Republicans to put up against the incumbent

Hickenlooper. “Look at Hickenlooper,” Gessler said. “He says he’s a moderate, that’s what he claims. And yet he signs the most liberal agenda in the history of Colorado.” Democrats see Gessler as an easy target for attacks in a general election, mainly over his ethics concerns. Last year, the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission found that Gessler violated state rules for spending about $2,000 of state money for attending a Republican event in Florida. “The ethics commission is fundamentally corrupt,” said Gessler, dismissing the claims against him. Gessler believes that the commission is made up of Hickenlooper-friendly appointees who pick on Republicans while going easy on Democrats. Gessler’s work as secretary of state has also received criticism. Gessler was accused of disenfranchising minority voters when his office sent letters to some registered voters to show proof of their

citizenship. He also wants Colorado to adopt a policy that requires voters to show photo ID. Gessler becomes particularly annoyed when people accuse him of being obsessed with voter fraud, in spite of evidence that it doesn’t occur very often. “I grew up in Chicago, so don’t tell me it’s overblown,” Gessler said. “Yes, I know, in Colorado we are so pure it can never happen here. I’ve got all those arguments. We are just so pure in Colorado. We are superior human beings than anywhere else and nothing wrong can ever happen in Colorado. That’s bull----. That’s bull----. The fact of the matter is we are human beings just like everywhere else and we have a capacity for good and evil just like anyone else.” Gessler took over as secretary of state in 2010 after defeating Democratic incumbent Bernie Buescher. He touts that he is the only Republican running for governor who has won a statewide race. And lately, his electability argument is being backed by money. Gessler has outraised his GOP rivals for two consecutive fundraising periods. On the issues, Gessler “understands people’s concerns” over hydraulic fracturing,

known as “fracking,” but supports the practice, saying, “if we didn’t have oil and gas in Colorado, we’d be dead in the water.” On education, Gessler would like to see more school districts adopt pay-for-performance models for teachers — a controversial method that has been taken up by the school board in Douglas County. And Gessler would like to see students have more choices in the schools they wish to attend. “When you do have that competition among schools and they have to attract students through excellence, rather than geography, that helps a lot,” he said. Gessler believes that gun-control legislation that was put in place by the Democratic majority last year “is a lot of money and lot of expense for very little benefit.” In true “honey badger” style, Gessler isn’t afraid to take on fellow Republicans. He believes that selecting Tom Tancredo as the GOP nominee would “spell disaster” for the party. And he recently came out with a TV ad that warns voters against picking candidates like Tancredo and Bob Beauprez, who have lost gubernatorial bids in the past. Gessler believes his personality and his tenacity will pay off. “I’m honest about who I am and what I’m about and I explain my principles and I don’t back down,” he said.

Kopp

Continued from Page 15

But name recognition doesn’t matter to Kopp. “I’d certainly put my record up against any of my opponents in this race in that regard,” he said. Kopp is a “firm believer” in hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” saying that the ownership of mineral resources is “a sacred right.” “So we now have a bunch of ballot initiatives out there that would make it more difficult, if not impossible, for energy producers to get this property that they own,” Kopp said. On education issues, Kopp, who served on the state Senate Education Committee, said that students are not being tested properly. He said that assessment tests miss the point when they evaluate the results after the school year, after the student has already moved on to the next grade. Kopp said it would be better practice to provide teachers and students with “real-time information on a child’s academic trajectory,” so adjustments can be made during the school year. Kopp also wants to give school districts more flexibility in deciding how teachers are paid and kept. “There is no grater factor in education than the quality of the teacher and I think it’s critical that our policy reflects an ability to

pay excellent teachers more money,” he said. “And we should have the ability to fire teachers that are failing the kids.” Kopp is also highly critical of Hickenlooper’s decision to grant a temporary reprieve for Nathan Dunlap, a death row inmate who killed four people at a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “This is just kind of typical of the way the governor tries to handle these sticky issues, by creating a new, gray scale,” Kopp said. “The governor should have made a decision. I would have set the execution date.” Kopp holds conservative views on many issues, including abortion. He is an unapologetic pro-life Republican. But, while that may work to his advantage in a Republican primary, recent general elections have shown that when reproductive rights are made a key issue in a campaign, Republicans fall short. But Kopp said his message is bigger than just one issue. “It’s funny because the Democrats have had the same sort of playbook year after year,” he said. “It’s something they tried a lot on me in 2006. I made the main theme in my race the idea of fighting Washington, defending freedoms and empowering people. “I have a very high regard for life and embracing life, but the bigger issue is what you offer to our state that helps the greatest amount of people, and that’s what my campaign has been about.”

Tancredo Continued from Page 15

familiar with the issues that he’ll have to deal with as governor. He supports hydraulic fracturing, known as “fracking,” but understands the concerns among certain communities that would like more control over drilling that occurs in their towns. Tancredo used his support of legalized marijuana as example of that balance. “I supported Amendment 64, and one of the reasons I did so was the fact that it provided local control,” he said. “Local communities have a right to say no to establishments if they want. I have that same sort of gut-level reaction to this fracking thing. I can support fracking, but I can also support local control, depending on how it looks, how it’s framed.” Tancredo holds the same philosophy when it comes to education. Tancredo, who worked in the U.S. Department of Education during the administrations

of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, doesn’t believe in a cookiecutter, one-size-fits-all approach to teaching kids. “The idea of one kind of system, no matter how well-intentioned the people who are in it … the idea that that system can accommodate all the kids in the state is a misinterpretation of the phenomena of education,” he said. Tancredo doesn’t like much of what Hickenlooper has done in office. But he was especially angered by the governor’s decision to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, a death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Tancredo entered the governor’s race after Hickenlooper’s decision, which neither commuted nor went forward with Dunlap’s execution. “I just wish that whatever he did was based on some heartfelt and wellthought-out position on it, based on, I don’t know, whatever,” Tancredo said. “To say I don’t know what good it would be (to execute Dunlap) ... I think that does not speak well of his integrity.”

Beauprez Continued from Page 15

lot that would allow communities to have more say over oil and gas drilling. The governor said last month that the ballot measures could have “draconian” results, but Beauprez said Hickenlooper has brought this problem upon himself due to “failed leadership.” “This issue didn’t just happen,” Beauprez said. “It’s been seven years in the making. Every single year the state government has imposed more regulations on the oil and gas industry. It’s death by 1,000 cuts and now all of the sudden he says it’s draconian. Well, he’s invited it.” Beauprez believes that fracking is a safe practice that benefits the state economically. “Fracking isn’t as complicated if you let science guide the policy ... not myths and hyperbole and a social agenda,” he said. That viewpoint is at odds with residents

But the issue Tancredo is known for here and at the national level is illegal immigration. Tancredo is a hard-liner on this issue and some of positions — such as his support for erecting a fence along the Mexican border — concerns some GOP members who worry that the party is already in trouble with Latino voters. In a recent op-ed in the Colorado Springs Gazette, Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who is also running for governor, said that a Tancredo nomination “spells disaster for Colorado Republicans.” And a Gazette editorial called on Gessler and Mike Kopp to drop out of the race to make it easier for former Congressman Bob Beauprez to defeat Tancredo. Tancredo believes that those fears are misplaced. And his views on illegal immigration haven’t changed, regardless of the fact that Latinos are growing in electoral strength. “A Republican candidate, any Republican candidate, no matter how proamnesty or moderate they are on the issue, however you want to describe it, will get about 35 percent of the Hispanic

vote. That’s it,” Tancredo said. “It doesn’t change whether it’s John McCain or Tom Tancredo. “I assure you this, that if all those folks who are coming across that southern border were coming in here and voting Republican, there’d be a wall on that southern border 2,500 feet high with broken glass on the top. Because the issue is political. It’s political, but it’s not racial. That’s the thing that’s important. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing about this issue that has anything to do with race. It is geographic and economic.” Tancredo is not a run-of-the-mill Republican - and that’s exactly why he believes he’s the best guy win back the governor’s mansion for his party. “The only reason why I’m doing this is because I think I can win because I am not the typical Republican candidate,” Tancredo said. “If you run a traditional candidate and a traditional campaign, you will have a traditional outcome — and that is we lose.”

Like other Republicans, Beauprez is prodeath penalty and believes that Hickenlooper made a mistake last year by not going forward with the execution of Nathan Dunlap — the man who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Beauprez, coming from a business background, believes that government rules are harming businesses and, if elected, would work “to get anti-business regulations of our books.” Beauprez understands that Democrats have a demographic advantage at the state level. The majority of women and minorities — especially a growing Latino voter base — have rejected Republican policies during recent statewide elections. But Beauprez believes such loyalty “hasn’t paid off.” “And I’m looking forward to taking the fight to a Democratic incumbent governor and calling him on that and offering a better solution, better leadership,” he said. “Opportunity in this country was never just reserved for the precious few. It was supposed to be opportunity for everybody ...”

of his hometown of Lafayette, the majority of whom voted to support a citywide fracking ban in 2012. “This isn’t the first time we’ve voted based on emotion and that’s what this is,” he said of communities that have placed moratoriums on the practice. On education, Beauprez, like other Republican candidates, believes that parents should have more choices available as to where they send their kids to school. He also believes that there should be property tax relief for parents who teach their children from home. And, if elected governor, Beauprez said his wife Claudia will head an initiative that would provide books to parents after children are born so they “can read to a child before they get to school.” Beauprez is particularly concerned about reading scores among schoolchildren in Colorado and believes that the education system needs to be reformed. “Do we want to fund education? Sure, everybody does,” he said. “But the problem is, we keep saying it’s for the children yet we keep failing the children. And when is somebody going to say enough?”

Stampede rides again

KUVO collars kudos from columnist

History, heritage foundation lead rodeo into 50th year By Deborah Grigsby

Special to Colorado Community Media Awarding more than $47,000 in prize money, the 2014 Elizabeth Stampede closed the arena Sunday night, June 8, again proving its status as a Colorado rodeo legend. This year brought in record numbers of fans for the three-day event, held June 6-8, and although official numbers were not available, estimates put total attendance somewhere close to 7,000. However, as it enters its 50th year, 27th as a professional event, the three-time Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association Small Rodeo of the Year keeps itself grounded in its roots as a community event. Organized and produce entirely by volunteers, Elizabeth Stampede Association President, Bill Snead calls the annual rodeo one of the few family sporting events

Pretty in pink, Gracie Mae Bauer, 4, of Elbert, accessorizes her outfit with a strawberry cake-pop on June 7 while taking in the sights and sounds of this year’s ElizaBash street festival, which took place on day two of the rodeo festivities.

Both rider and horse were able to finish the event. left. “Rodeo is just good, clean entertainment,” said Snead in a written statement. “It is a family experience based on purpose and by heritage.” “We really like the small town feel of the Stampede,” said Fran Delano of Larkspur, accompanied by his 6-year-old grandson, Hunter. “For me, it’s really an opportunity to connect with the next generation of my family, and events like the mutton bustin’ help me open that door on their level.” Top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls went head-to head, in some cases literally,

with some of the best stock in the region. Barrel racing, saddle bronc, team roping, steer wrestling and bull riding did not disappoint fans. “I love the ladies’ barrel racing,” said Marsha Ames of Aurora. “My daughter used to race before she went off to college — the girls and their horses really put their all into it.” The “Behind the Chute” tours, conducted an hour prior to each performance also gave fans the chance to meet the contestants, the rodeo clown, rodeo royalty, and see the stock up close.

Slow-cooked barbecue on a stick is kept warm over an open flame, just one of the many food choices at this year’s Elizabeth Stampede.

Denver’s own KUVO 89.3-FM public radio station was named one of the best Internet jazz radio stations worldwide by Pete Naughton, a writer for The Telegraph in London, one of the United Kingdom’s top media outlets. According to the story posted at www. kuvo.org/kuvo-news, Naughton, who writes for The Telegraph’s podcasts and internet radio columns, listed KUVO as one of the top three best “Jazz & Soul Internet Radio Stations” he’s discovered across the world. Below is what he reported in his online column, “Best Internet Radio Stations” on May 26. “I stumbled upon this award-winning music station by accident recently — and have been kicking myself for not finding it sooner. Based in Denver, Colorado, its artfully curated playlists mostly focus on jazz — broadcasting everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Madeleine Peyroux. A class act.” “We knew KUVO was a gem when we merged our public media organizations last year,” said Doug Price, president and CEO of Rocky Mountain PBS. “We’re proud of the work they do and the valuable service they provide to our Colorado community. We are excited for the future and the international doors that have been opened with the online radio stations and mobile app.” KUVO serves a diverse audience that loves jazz — all styles of jazz. The station’s lineup reflects the flavors of jazz from around the world. “We are proud of this international recognition,” said Carlos Lando, KUVO’s general manager. “We’ve always been proud of our long tradition of sharing jazz, blues and news with our loyal listeners in our community. But, it’s really fantastic that our community is growing worldwide. We have fans from Japan, Spain, China, and apparently the UK.”

Ren Fest opens this weekend Larkspurshire welcomes visitors for 38th season By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Renaissance Festival offers up yet another summer of turkey legs, jousting and themed weekends all wrapped in a magical package that sends visitors back to the 16th century, beginning this weekend. With fire-breathers, singing pirates and more than 200 artisans lining the village streets and pathways, there is something for everyone at Larkspur’s annual festival — not to mention, lots of food. As many dress the part of the era, it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between who is a guest of the fair and who is among, as it states on the festival website, the “cast of hundreds of authentically costumed merrymakers living and working throughout the village and performing, continuously, upon the festival’s seven stages.” The Good King Henry will be present for all eight weekends, from the “Opening Weekend: Memories that Last” weekend of June 14-15 up until the “Fare Thee Well and Mardi Gras Style Carnivale” weekend of Aug. 2-3. There will be plenty of new entertainment this year to, including stage act, The KamiKaze Fireflies, who have appeared on America’s Got Talent. Ticket prices start online at $8 per child, age 5-12, and $16.95 for ages 13

Goodness gracious, ‘Great Balls of Fire.’ This man has the hottest job at the Colorado Renaissance Festival, performing four times a day, to the delight of much cooler spectators. This year’s festival kicks off June 14 and is open every Saturday and Sunday through Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. in Larkspur.

IF YOU GO Impromptu parades are never an uncommon sight at the Colorado Renaissance Festival, which kicks off June 14 and will feature themed weekends every weekend through Aug. 3. File photos and up. Prices are $9/$19.95 at the gate. Children under age 5 are free, as is parking. The Village of Larkspurshire, 650 W. Perry Park Ave. in Larkspur, will be open

from 10 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays only, rain or shine. No pets are allowed. For more information, please visit www.coloradorenaissance.com.

Fiddler’s Green gets needed upgrades Concert attendees will notice improvements By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com When Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre opened for the Charlie Daniels concert on May 24, there was still evidence to be seen of the $6 million renovation underway at the concert venue, owned by the Museum Outdoor Arts and leased to other concert promoters since 1988. MOA, which operates an indoor gallery in Englewood, with educational programs and a large collection of outdoor art in several locations, was initially conceived by Cynthia Madden Leitner and her arts-oriented father John Madden, developer of the Denver Tech Center. It has had a special interest in large site-specific sculptural art and is collaborating with the Arvada Center on placement of a sculpture collection on its extensive grounds, to open this summer. A space for smaller local concerts and events, Fiddler’s Green, which opened in 1982 and is located in Greenwood Village (the venue has had several other names over the years), has grown to more than 17,000 seats

and hosted big national acts such as Lollapalooza and Bob Dylan (who returns July 31) — and it was showing wear and tear. Concert attendees this summer will sense improvements in the stage and sound systems immediately and will see ongoing improvement. A new 15-year lease was recently signed between the MOA and a new operator, AEG Live, including longtime promoter Chuck Morris and general manager Rob Thomas (building manager for Fiddler’s Green) who have publicized extensive renovation plans. According to material sent out by the MOA, work will continue through the year. The entrance and curving walk up into the venue are redesigned for smoother traffic flow, with a new merchandise booth set back from the main walkway, so shoppers don’t block the arriving concert fans. Bathroom access is paved, facilities improved and concession booths are replaced. Madden Leitner said the back-of-house improvements are ongoing: a catering area and kitchen, and administrative spaces will replace structures that were “practically demolished.” She is especially excited about the wall of living plants she proposed, which will be installed soon on the walls above all four portals and walls around the venue. It will include 35,000 live plants — “a panoramic

quate water for the plants. This installation is a symbol of Madden Leitner’s expressed wish to make the entire operation as green as possible. A glance at the website shows numerous concerts scheduled through September, and more will no doubt be added. (AEG Live also operates the Gothic, Bluebird and Ogden theaters and 1stBank Center in Broomfield, as well as booking shows at Red Rocks and the Pepsi Center.)

Spangled special

A crowd of 300 people is expected to gather at 11 a.m. on June 13 at Wind Crest retirement community in Highlands Ranch to sing the national anthem, hoping to set a record for the largest intergenerational singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The gathering at Wind Crest’s Fireside restaurant (3235 Mill Vista Road in Highlands Ranch) is part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s writing of the poem during the bombardment of Fort McHenry that became the national anthem.

The seen

Cyndi Lauper and other girls (and boys) who just wanna have fun were spotted at Lucky Strike in the Denver Pavilions June 3. While there, Lauper bowled with a few of her staff while they ate crudites, fish tacos, guacamole and short rib tacos. I’m also told that she is much better suited as an awesome singer, as she bowled a 58. Lucky Strike staff noted that the celebrated singer was “very, very nice.”

For land’s sake, it’s an art show Douglas conservancy will benefit from outdoor event By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County Land Conservancy will host 20 noted regional and national landscape artists who will paint “en plein air” during the week of June 23 at Dawson Butte Open Space south of Castle Rock. They will display and sell the resulting artwork. The DLC says it is “dedicated to the preservation of the natural character, habitat and open space of the central Front Range region of Colorado, including Douglas County and surrounding areas.” The private open space is protected from future development by conservation easements, which fit the mission of the conservancy. The land is owned by Douglas County, and the 27-year-old conservancy holds the easement for this and other properties in Douglas, Elbert and Jefferson counties. The DLC holds 76 easements, protecting more than 22,000 acres, according to Richard Bangs of the DLC. The artists will donate part of the proceeds from sale of the week’s paintings to the DLC. From June 25-27, finished paintings will be exhibited and sold from 6-8 p.m. each evening at the Castle Rock Art Guild’s Art on the Edge Gallery at 314 Wilcox St. in Castle Rock, according to DLC executive director Patti Hostetler. These artists work in watercolor, acrylics, pastels, drawing and oil. On June 28, the main event will take place from noon to 6 p.m. at Dawson Butte Open Space Park. Artists will display and sell their paintings and conservancy volunteers will have food (burgers, brats, etc.) for sale, near picnic tables located at the trailhead. The public is invited to view, visit, buy an original artwork — and perhaps enjoy a hike on the Dawson Butte five-mile loop trail. Prospective buyers will be able to view the scene the artist chose to render and will also have an opportunity to talk with these skilled Western painters about how they approached a scene — and the changing light. Plein air painting events seem to be growing in popularity in Colorado, given its splendid scenery, and there is also an annual summer outdoor painting event in Denver, with urban paintings as well as landscapes resulting.

Plein air artists will create paintings from some portion of the panoramic Dawson Butte Open Space Park in Douglas County. Courtesy photos There is an annual exhibit at the Denver Central Library at year’s end. Artists develop techniques for dealing with the vagaries of weather, devising ingenious ways to carry their paints, an easel and canvases or paper. Working in sun and wind means paints dry more quickly and, at times, one will find dirt or insects blown into the project at hand. Participating artists include: Don and Linda Hamilton, Ginger Whellock, Amy Evans, Lorenzo Chavez (of Parker), Tricia Bass, Chuck Mardosz, Rita Cirillo, Wes Hyde, Cheryl St. John and Karen Toppel. Also: Buffalo Kaplinski (of Parker), Cynthia McBride, Karen Button, Eldon Warren, Marianna M. Dufford, Michael Ome Unteidt, Margaret Jensen, Rodgers Naylor and Molly Squibb.

if you go For the June 28 event from noon to 6 p.m.: Dawson Butte Open Space is located south of Castle Rock. Take exit 174 off Interstate 25 and drive north on the frontage road for two miles. At the railroad crossing, turn left on Tomah Road. Drive 1.6 miles and turn right into Dawson Butte Open Space parking. (Address: 1923 Tomah Road, Castle Rock.) For the evening gallery shows, June 25-27, 6 to 8 p.m.: The Art on the Edge Gallery is at 314 Wilcox St. in Castle Rock. Information: DLC, Patti Hostetler, 303688-8025.

Rock Canyon’s Young followed sport early Jaguar soccer standout bound for Portland U. By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kaycie Young grew up watching some of the best one-two touch soccer players and molded herself into one. Young, a Rock Canyon senior, is the Colorado Community Media Girls Soccer Player of the Year. She is headed to the University of Portland next fall to play soccer, and Young’s arrival means the Pilots will also be getting the 2014 Continental League Player of the Year and the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year. “My sister (Bri) played soccer at a pretty high level when I was younger,” said Young. “I watched her play and I watch a lot of soccer on TV. I was taught to play that way (one-two touch). It was a pretty easy thing to develop because I had been watching it that way my whole life “ Rock Canyon coach Matt Henbest boasts that Young was part of the reason behind the Jaguars’ Continental League championship season. “She’s a good person with good character,” said Henbest. “In terms of on the field, she’s a

one-two touch soccer player. You have to be able to think quick. She sees the field so well. She is incredibly unselfish. She could have scored more goals. She is the all-time goalscoring leader at the school with 45.” Young, a 5-foot-7 midfielder, has led Rock Canyon in scoring the past three years. She finished her senior season with 13 goals and 35 points for Rock Canyon, which ended with a 16-2 record after a state quarterfinal loss to Ralston Valley. “If I have an opportunity, I usually try to take shots,” said Young. “I’ve always had players around me that can do that. I like to take shots when the opportunity presents itself. It comes with experience. It took me a while to start shooting.” It didn’t take long for opponents to learn that Young was a player who always needed to be marked. “Kaycie has a commanding presence on the field that is intimidating to opposing teams but yet calming to her teammates,” commented Highlands Ranch coach Danny Main . “I got to play with a lot of great people and the coaching staff was awesome,” said Young. “It was a great last year to end my high school career. I just wanted to be a good leader for all the underclassmen and returning players. I wanted to have fun and make it a memorable last season for me, and it was.”

Rock Canyon’s Kaycie Young, left, contends for a loose ball during the May 13 Class 5A state girls soccer quarterfinals against Ralston Valley at Shea Stadium. Young finished the year with 13 goals and nine assists, and has been named Colorado Community Media’s south metro girls soccer player of the year. Photo by Tom Munds

Dedication puts two at head of class Highlands Ranch’s Turnage, Creek’s Colter devoted to peak performance By Jim Benton jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Connor Turnage won his third consecutive triple jump state championship at the Colorado state track meet, and Jordyn Colter repeated as double winner in the May 16-18 meet at Jefferson County Stadium. Turnage, a senior at Highlands Ranch, is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Track Athlete of the Year, while Cherry Creek’s Colter gets the honor on the girls side. “Connor is a really dedicated track athlete,” said Falcons head coach Lou Krauss. “He’s a student of the sport. He understands the technique. Triple jump is a sport typically where you don’t develop until your junior or senior year. He hasn’t been beat in the triple jump in the state of Colorado since his freshman year.” Turnage, who will continue his track career at Nebraska, jumped 48-09.75 to win his third straight state title and finish what he termed a frustrating season. “I can’t complain too much, it was the second-best jump of my life,” said Turnage, who was the 2013 Colorado Gatorade Track Athlete of the Year. “As frustrating as the season was, I was pretty happy. I wasn’t jumping very well up until two or three weeks before state. “I wasn’t jumping well throughout the whole season, but I brought it around at the end. I was pretty confident I could win at state. It was just a matter of doing what I could.” Krauss was also confident. “He’s a big meet jumper,” said Krauss. “There were a couple technical issues that were kind of disguised, and we just caught them two or three weeks before the state meet. He was trying something a little different that I wasn’t aware of, and it was getting him too far forward. “Once we got that sorted out, he started jumping better. We worked hard to clean up his form. If we would have had one more week before state, he would have been jumping a foot farther.” Colter finished strong to win the 1600 meters in 4:57.27 at the state meet and also captured the 800 in 2:09.16. She won both those events at the 2013 state meet. The diminutive junior, who weighs less than 100 pounds, won the state cross country meet as a freshman, but collapsed from low sodium, low potassium and a high white blood cell count while holding a siz-

Photo by Jim Benton able lead during 2012 meet. She had mono during last fall’s cross country championships. Colter was strong on the track against a talented field in this spring’s 800 and 1600, but after each race looked drained. “That’s definitely something we’ve been somewhat concerned about,” admitted Creek distance coach Ethan Dusto. “She actually spent a lot of time in the offseason doing weight training to get her muscle mass up and her weight up. She’s been working a lot of different weight training type things to get stronger. “She has probably put on five to eight pounds of muscle mass in the off-season. She gets after it and trains harder than anybody else that I coach. She is always trying to hit more miles and a faster pace. She wants to take some time off and I definitely would like her to take some time off, do some cross-training, keep up the weight training so that she can be fit and ready for the cross country season. She needs to take some time off.” There are national track meets that can extend the season through June. Colter might skip some of those meets this month, with emphasis on the word “might.” “I was very happy to win both races at state,” said Colter. “I coach a club team in the summer, so I run a little with them. I do a lot of cross-training. “I’ll just probably keep my miles up and do crosstraining and just get ready for cross county. I might do a few races.”

Connor Turnage of Highlands Ranch, seen here competing in the long jump at the state meet, won the Class 5A triple jump in 48 feet, 9.75 inches, earning himself his third consecutive state title in the event. The combined leaps also earned him the honor of being named Colorado Community Media’s south metro male track and field athlete of the year. Photo by Ryan Boldrey

Regis Jesuit’s Max George, the Gatorade Colorado Baseball Player of the Year, was sitting in his living room with friends and family watching the 2014 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft unfold through a laptop sitting on a table in front of them. In the sixth round, he heard his name: The Colorado Rockies had selected him. “When I found out the Rockies drafted me, I was extremely happy,” George said. “It’s been a dream of mine for as long as I remember.” Of the 1,215 players selected in this year’s draft, 24 came Zero from Colorado. Along with George, there were several other south metro-area high school players taken, including & Chaparral’s Keenan Eaton, Mountain Vista’s Nick Leonard, ThunderRidge’s Brody Westmoreland and Regis’ David Pe- ww terson. Leonard, a right-handed pitcher, posted a 0.88 ERA in 80 innings pitched with 105 strikeouts. Unlike George, LeonA ard found out he had been drafted by the Atlanta Braves through a phone call during the 34th round. N “I was very excited when I heard the news,” Leonard said. “It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to be drafted, and the Braves made that happen for me.” Leonard has committed to play at Washington State University. We Westmoreland had a standout year at shortstop for the He Grizzlies. He batted .420 with 40 RBIs and seven home runs. He was drafted in the 35th round by the Rockies, making him one of the six Colorado-born players drafted by the Rockies. Westmoreland has since confirmed, over social media, that he will stand by his commitment to play baseball for San Diego State University. George, who committed to play at Oregon State, is discussing with his family whether or not he will stay with his commitment or if he will transition into professional baseball. He crushed his competition during a stellar year at Regis, batting .458 with 24 RBIs and three home runs. He helped lead the Raiders to the 5A State Championship game, where they were defeated by Rocky Mountain High School 6-5. At Regis, George benefitted from the coaching of Rockies manager Walt Weiss. “I have a really good relationship with coach Weiss,” George said. “He was my coach freshman and sophomore year and we built a close relationship. He has taught me so much about the game of baseball and I am extremely blessed to be given this opportunity.” George’s friends were ecstatic about the news. “I was very happy for him and thought it was so cool,” said Michael Dunnebecke, who graduated from Mountain Vista this year and will play outfield at Arizona Christian University. “He is the best player that I have played with.” Peterson is a left-handed pitcher who was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 28th round. Eaton is an outfielder who was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 39th round.
