Lightning kills woman, horse, injures teen girl in Sedalia

MY NAME IS

MEREDITH WINNEFELD

Contender for Miss Colorado, skier, golfer, marketer

Thunderstorm slammed the metro area the afternoon of May 7

About me I’m 23 years old. I went to Arapahoe High School and graduated in 2012 and then went to Arizona State University for my four years of college. When I’m not working, I love to ski and play golf — those are my two favorite hobbies.

I’m an only child and I have a poodle. I live in Highlands Ranch and I work in marketing and sales.

Being Miss Highlands Ranch I will compete for Miss Colorado at the end of June.

Whoever wins Miss Colorado will go on to compete at Miss America in September.

To compete at the state competition, you have to be given a local title — so I picked Miss Highlands Ranch.

To get that local title, we have to do a lot of work in the community. I did a lot of work with Children’s Miracle Network, which raises money for our Children’s Hospital Colorado.

We also have to support a platform that is close to us and that we value a lot in our own lives. I focus on pediatrics vision care — I’m blind in my right eye. Since I cannot see out of my eye, vision care is very important to me.

I work a lot with Von’s Vision Foundation, which provides eye screenings for underprivileged children who may not be able to afford those services otherwise.

The foundation was started by Von Miller, the Bronco’s MVP of the Super Bowl 50.

I was Miss Colorado Outstanding Teen in 2011 and won a scholarship, which helped me pay for college. If I win Miss Colorado, it could help me go to graduate school.

This organization helps woman grow into who they want to be in the future.

Fun fact I got to twirl at the pregame of Super Bowl 49. I performed with the Arizona State Marching Band.

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

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

Laura Miller and her horse were

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

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

The incident occurred about 24 hours after a woman was injured by a lightning strike in Highlands Ranch.

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

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

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

Lightning strikes Highlands Ranch woman

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 50-year-old woman was struck by lightning May 6 at a Little League baseball game at Falcon Park in Highlands Ranch, Littleton Fire Rescue reported.

The fire department responded to the emergency at about 4:20 p.m.

The woman was leaning against a tree when lightning hit the ground nearby, causing her hip pain, numbness, tingling and flash burns on her skin, according to Jackie Erwin, spokeswoman for Littleton Fire Rescue.

The woman was transported to a local hospital. She seemed to be doing well when she was dropped off,

Do you have any of these leg symptoms?

• Achy legs • Varicose veins • Leg swelling • Spider veins • Restless legs • Leg cramps

• Minimally invasive treatments • Most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid • Superior patient experience

Erwin said, though her condition was unknown as of May 8.

The incident occurred about 24 hours before a woman and her horse were killed by a lightning strike in Sedalia as a thunderstorm swept across the metro area. A 15-year-old girl was injured as well.

When there is lightning in an area, Erwin advises people to immediately take shelter in an enclosed space, such as a bathroom, church, home or car.

If someone is stuck outside during lightning, he or she should curl up into the smallest ball possible in an open space, Erwin said.

“Ideally, if you hear thunder, lightning is right behind it,” Erwin said.

“Being outside or under trees is the worst place you can be.”

Sprawling game center could come to Highlands Ranch Main Event Entertainment location would be first in Colorado

Main Event Entertainment has 32 centers across the country equipped with bowling, laser tag, more than 100 arcade games, billiards, a bar and cafe. The company is planning to build its first Colorado location in Highlands Ranch next door to AMC Highlands Ranch 24, 103 Centennial Blvd.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch could be home to Colorado’s first Main Event Entertainment — an elaborate game center equipped with state-of-the-art bowling, laser tag, arcade games, billiards, food and more.

“There is a fun family and young adult aspect to our concept,” Daniel Smith, a representative for Main Event, said at a May 3 Highlands Ranch Community Association Development Review Committee meeting.

The nine-person committee is the approval authority for most commercial development projects in Highlands Ranch.

Main Event, a Texas-based company with more than 30 centers across the U.S., plans to redevelop the existing parking lot of AMC Highlands Ranch 24, located north of Plaza Drive at 103 Centennial Blvd., into a 49,882-squarefoot family entertainment building.

Attractions would include 22 bowling lanes, more than 100 arcade games, six billiard tables, a ropes course, a laser tag arena, a bar, a main dining area and a café.

COURTESY MAINEVENT.COM

The building would have four to six entry and exit points with a 303-space parking lot that would be shared with AMC Highlands Ranch 24, according to Smith.

The movie theater declined to comment on the new development.

Main Event is reviewing referrals from Douglas County and the HRCA Design Review Committee. The entertainment company expects to receive a building permit in six weeks and begin building by early September, Smith said. The center would be built

by May 2018, depending on weather.

The entertainment destination is the first of its kind in Highlands Ranch, though the niche business is seen throughout the south metro Denver area. Boondocks is an entertainment hub in Parker. Bowlero is in Lone Tree and Round 1 Southwest Plaza is in

Jefferson County. All businesses offer bowling, food and arcade games.

Highlands Ranch resident Donna Sailor-Barry said she doesn’t frequent Boondocks because of its prices, which she considers expensive. She foresees Main Event doing well in Highlands Ranch because there is nothing else like it in the community but worries that ticket costs would deter visitors.

She said she would use the center once a year for a special occasion, such as a birthday celebration.

“It would be nice to have something close,” said Sailor-Barry, a mother of three. “It depends on the price point — it’s definitely more extreme than anything else that is around.”

Main Event’s bowling lanes are equipped with black lights, surround

sound and dozens of TV screens. Performed in a black-light course, laser tag is like being in a virtual 3D video game, the company’s website says.

Tickets range in price depending on the activity. Specials and promotions include a corporate All-Access Pass for $20.95 and a School All-Access Pass starting at $18.95, according to Main Event’s website.

The company serves more than 20 million guests annually and brings nearly 150 full- and part-time employees to its communities, the website says.

Surrounding businesses of the proposed Highlands Ranch location include AMC Highlands Ranch 24 and several restaurant chains, including C.B. & Potts, Lil’ Ricci’s, Red Robin, Off Broadway Lounge and Outback Steakhouse.

The event center would bring more customers to the area, which would help business, a Lil’ Ricci’s employee said.

The center would need to accommodate overflow parking from other businesses, Woody Bryant, chair of the HRCA Development Review Committee, said at the recent meeting, adding that the portion of the parking lot was always planned for future development.

“I think this is going to be a valuable asset to the community,” said Bryant. “I think it will be used a lot.”

Highlands Ranch Chili’s to be rebuilt after fire Plans call for 2018 reopening after restaurant was forced to shut down

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brad Geiger, a Highlands Ranch resident, takes South University Boulevard every day to and from his workplace in Centennial. For the past four months, he has passed the Chili’s Grill & Bar that burned down last December, wondering why nothing has been done to revive the building.

“It has sat there and slowly crumbled into itself,” Geiger said. “I would love to see it rebuilt — I would love to see the people get their jobs back.”

Geiger will get his wish.

Chili’s plans to rebuild the restaurant in the same location, just southwest of University Boulevard and County Line Road, though it is still early in the process, said Whitney Strittmatter, associate public relations manager of Dallas-based Brinker International, which owns the restaurant chain.

“We’re targeting a reopening date of April 2018,” Strittmatter said.

On March 21, Chili’s filed a preliminary request to rebuild the 4,500-square-foot building, according to Douglas County records. The existing site would be cleared and a new restau-

Chili’s Grill and Bar, off South University Boulevard and County Line Road in Highlands Ranch, caught fire last December after hot patchwork was done on the roof. The damaged structure will be demolished to make way for a new Chili’s, with an estimated reopening date of April 2018.

ALEX DEWIND rant and sidewalk would be built, the records say.

Design plans were submitted to the Highlands Ranch Community Association Design Review Committee on April 27, according to Eric Williams, of Olsson Associates, the civil engineering firm on the rebuild project.

The construction package will be submitted to Douglas County, Littleton Fire and Resuce, and Centennial Water and Sanitation District on May 16 for review.

The site will be demolished once the state completes the required inspections of the building, which had not

been done as of May 3, Williams said.

“Site work will commence upon reviews and approvals from the necessary reviewing agencies,” Wililams said in an email.

The fire began at about 2:30 p.m. Dec. 27. Littleton Fire Rescue and South Metro Fire Rescue responded to flames and smoke coming from the restaurant’s roof.

All employees and customers exited the building within about five minutes of the start of the fire, according to a Littleton Fire Rescue spokeswoman.

The fire was under control by 5 p.m., though heavy smoke prompted the clo-

sure of University in both directions for several hours.

Hot patchwork conducted by a roofing company on the roof was determined as the cause of the fire, according to the fire department. Roofers tried to extinguish a patch that caught fire but the flames quickly spread to a wooden part of the roof, the fire department said, noting that strong winds that day most likely contributed to the spread of the fire.

In a statement released after the fire, a Chili’s spokeswoman said employees would be sent to other Chili’s locations in the area.

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

Clifton Oertli, owner of Resolute Brewing Co.

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“An entrepreneur is someone who

to eventually go to the University of Colorado-Boulder to study business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They have already learned lessons about starting a business.

“You have to give it your all,” Halbeisen said. “You can’t expect things to happen, you have to go out and work for it.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The market, the product — every-

thing else is secondary to the team.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Highline Canal Conservancy unveils plan for future Group spent past year gathering input from trail users, officials

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

done to preserve it in the future.

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

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

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

The funding is provided under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, which leverages federal money to attract nonfederal capital funding for regional or national projects.

While Gardner sent out a press release on May 1 touting the loan and his support of the TIFIA program, the state was still waiting on an official award, CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said on May 2.

“This is great news for Colorado,” Gardner said in a statement.

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

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

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

Legislature OKs construction defects bill ASSOCIATED PRESS

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

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

Developers blame skyrocketing insurance costs to defend such lawsuits for a

dramatic slowdown in condo construction in Colorado.

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

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

The bill heads to the governor’s desk.

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

Variety is spice of life at local farmers’ market Market kicks off first Sunday of the season at Town Center

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market, no two booths are the same.

Lorena Jakubczak and her 17-yearold daughter stand behind a table covered with a bowl of tortilla chips, a colorful menu, a silver steamer and a plate of tamale samples.

Nora Barczay passes out bites of Polish dumplings a few booths down.

Teresa Carson sells handmade blue-and-cream-colored dishes on the adjacent street.

“This market feels really good — it feels right,” says Carson, a first-time vendor from Elizabeth. “Everyone is so nice.”

The farmers’ and street market, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday through October at Town Center, 9288 Dorchester St., had its first run of the year on May 7.

Hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association and Denver Farmers’ Market, the event features handmade and homegrown products from more than 20 vendors across the Denver metro area.

Many have a unique story about their product.

Born and raised cooking with her mother in Oaxaca, Mexico, Jakubczak wanted to bring the flavors and spices of southern Mexico to Colorado. So she started her family-owned business, Azteca Gourmet.

The Colorado Springs resident makes her salsas and moles with fresh and dry peppers, meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. Her tamales are larger than traditional Mexican tamales and are wrapped in banana leaves instead of cornhusks.

“This community is a big support of the handmade products,” said Jakubczak.

After being let go from the Computer Sciences Corp. in 2002, Bruce Telford decided to switch career paths.

He is now a small business owner and can be found at the Sunday market selling a variety of flavored almonds, pecans and cashews.

“My wife calls me the mad scientist of almond roasting,” said Telford, an Aurora resident and owner of Nuts to You. The market is also an opportunity for residents to get outside and shop local.

Sara Montano, of Littleton, visited the market for her first time last Sunday. She and a friend ate lunch and perused the booths. Among her favorites offerings were honey and kombucha.

“I love how everything is local,” Montano said. “The vendors are nice and open about their products.”

Bruce Telford gives flavorful almonds to the McGlashan family at the first Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market of the summer season.

Mother-daughter duo Danielle, left, and Lorena Jakubczak kick off their fourth season at Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market, held on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Town Center.

A favored item is their tamales, which are made with banana leaves instead of traditional corn husks.

The first Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market drew crowds of community members on May 7 before gray clouds and a heavy spring shower hit just before 2 p.m. Held every Sunday of the summer from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Town Center, the market offers produce, pastries, flowers, accessories and more.

Teresa Carson, of Elizabeth, completes her first day at the Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market, held during the summer every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Town Center. “This market feels really good — it feels right,” said Carson.

Mariann Blau and Jared Wilderhorn wrap up their first day at the Highlands Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market. The two vendors sell their sweet popcorn at five outdoor markets a week.

VOICES Not so transparent at Jeffco school board

T

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

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

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

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

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

OUR VIEW

six candidates who were interviewed.

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

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

Glass.)

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

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

guys who delivered the furniture took care of everything. I was an added stop on their route and they decided to make the delivery their first of the day. But they forgot to call in advance and their arrival was unexpected. So when they came in the driver apologized for not letting me know he was on his way, but hoped I would be happy that we were first on the list. I had no problem with being first, and they were so good at maneuvering everything without my assistance, and since it was also a fairly heavy piece of furniture, I tipped them very well.

Unlike the radiology technician, the driver responded with a smile-filled and optimistic, gratitude-filled comment, “Wow, so this is how my day is going to go, is it? I sure do hope so!”

Their stories all had a similar hitch in them, however. Namely, that they would overpay for a painting.

They promised to pay with a cashier’s check.

All I had to do was reimburse the difference between the painting’s actual price and the overpayment.

The explanation for the overpayment was screwy.

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

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

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

It was interesting that

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Set pride and ego aside, look back on where things may have gone wrong, and think about what might have been different or what you can change immediately to get back on the winning path today. A little checkup from the neck up, if you know what I mean.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Going the distance: How to train for a 5K

i c

Proper training is key to avoiding injury and completing the race

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

Half-Marathon, June 17, Stenger Soccer Complex, 11200 W. 58th Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com • Father’s Day Classic 5K and 10K, June 18, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; arvada.org • Six Pack Series in Highlands Ranch: numerous race beginning Aug. 6 at Highlands Heritage Regional Park, 9651 South Quebec St.; 6packseries.com • So Long to Summer 5K, 10K and Family Fun Trek, Aug. 12, Salisbury Park, 11920 Motsenbocker Road, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Runapalooza 5K, 10K and HalfMarathon, Aug. 26, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com

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

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

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

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

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

He also recommends those without serious injury or other conditions

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

5 r w PHOTO BY SHUTTERSTOCK t also walk or jog. r Regardless, when it comes to train- w ing, he implores those who don’t regularly run distances to start slow m and build up their workout routine S incrementally. p “Start with your comfort zone,” he n said. “The biggest mistake is to shock yourself too early and either hurt yourself or scare yourself.”

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

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

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

Then, stick to a schedule.

Cahoone takes listeners back to her Colorado country roots

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

W

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

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

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

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

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

TRAINING FROM PAGE 16

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

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

By race day, running as much as 5 miles should feel normal to your body, Seaver said. A properly trained race participant should be capable of running more miles than the race length,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

without it being a significant challenge.

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

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

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

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

certified in sports and family medicine.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he wishes there was more cool honkytonk bars around. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share your favorite Colorado dive bars at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

P RO G R A M

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

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

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

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

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

Northglenn’s Food Truck Carnival returns to the city’s Community Center area May 12-14 with a carnival midway, live music and food provided by 64 of Colorado’s favorite gourmet food trucks.

“Its our biggest event of the season — that’s how we are treating it and promoting it,” said food truck owner Matt McDonald. “It simply is the biggest food truck event in the Denver area for the year, and we are going all in with both feet.”

The carnival’s initial outing was Northglenn’s most successful inaugural event, with more than 30,000 attending over the three days. It takes place at 11801 Community Center Drive.

The city is hoping its bigger and better sophomore event is even more successful: Last year, the event featured 22 food trucks — this year’s features 64 trucks overall, between 20 and 30 different trucks each day.

It also includes a small cadre of “designer” trucks — clothing and gift retailers in panel trucks — more parking and a bigger carnival.

“It’s a good combination of a lot of things,” Northglenn events supervi-

E

( sor Stokes said.

The rides are provided by Wright Amusements of Elbert County. But Stokes said the food is the main attraction.

“This is not fast food,” he said.

“They are gourmet. They were never meant to put food out fast, to be a slower option. So that’s why we brought in more trucks this year.”

Vendors said it’s a great showcase for what they do.

Jose Dominguez operates Arepas House, his Venezuelan-themed food truck. The Northglenn event was one of the best events he attended since he started operation two years ago.

2 “It was amazing,” he said. “There u were a lot of people, a lot of business f for us. For us, me it was one of the a best festivals I attended in the last t year. The lines were huge.”

McDonald, who operates two trucks, said both will be coming to the Northglenn event. His Hey PB &J truck sells gourmet grilled peanut butter sandwiches. His Meatball truck specializes in Italian sandwiches, like meatball subs and chicken parmesan.

“We normally run with two people per truck,” he said. “This time, we are bringing five people per truck.”

This freshman is on quite a roll

C

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

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

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

• All violations of Rule 13 incur a two-

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

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

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

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

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

stop in the sand is important.

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

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

aitlyn White is used to getting quirky looks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“You have to stay focused,” she said.

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

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

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

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

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

Creek lives up to its ranking in win over Mountain Vista Golden Eagles lose to Bruins 14-6 in lacrosse match on home field

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a tune-up for the upcoming state playoffs when Cherry Creek, top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com boys lacrosse poll, faced off against second-ranked Mountain Vista.

Creek was sharp with its possession, never trailed and posted a 14-6 victory over the Golden Eagles in the May 2 game at Mountain Vista.

“It helps us get ready for the playoffs, take a look at some things and see how we need to get better,” said Bruins coach Bryan Perry. “We’ve got a good group that plays really well together.”

It was the Bruins’ second win over Mountain Vista this season after a 12-7 win on April 7.

Key moments Cherry Creek (13-1) scored

Cherry Creek’s Asher Nolting goes around the goal as Mountain Vista goalie Jonah Hirshorn watches during the May 2 game played at Mountain Vista. Nolting scored five goals and added three assists as the top-ranked Bruins notched a 14-6 victory over the second-ranked Golden Eagles.

JIM BENTON two quick goals to start the game and never looked back.

The Centennial League champion Bruins led 8-5 at halftime and outscored the Golden Eagles 6-1 in the second half.

Key players/statistics Senior Asher Nolting had five goals and three assists to

pace the Bruins. Nate Miller had three goals and an assist while Alec Bildstein and Connor Till each had two goals. JT Simonton won 19 of 24 faceoffs. All four players are seniors.

Colin Munro and Griffin Bonjean each scored two goals for the Golden Eagles (10-4).

They said it “This week gives us a clear picture of what we’re working with,” said Nolting of the Bruins’ final week of the regular season, which also included a game against Kent Denver. “Going into the playoffs I think we’re going to be pretty confident and tough to beat. I’m pretty excited.”

Mountain Vista coach Jamie Munro hopes the schedule pays off for the Golden Eagles, who won the Douglas County League title.

“We have the toughest schedule in the state and we’re getting a taste of that every game,” he said. “Creek took it to us and we’re going to have to go back and figure out what to do better.

“I feel like we made real good progress this season.

We’ve been on a good run and winning some big games. We ran into a really, really sharp Creek team.

They’re good. They have big strong athletes.”

Nolting said the win over Mountain Vista provides a boost for the Bruins.

“Mountain Vista is a great program, well coached with a ton of good players,” he said. “Our coaches have hammered to us all season on possessing the ball. It’s pretty evident on the field.

That’s a big key to our success.”

Going forward First-round Class 5A playoff games were to be completed by May 11 with the quarterfinals set for May 13.

Legend, Regis tie for league championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

least a share of the title.

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

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

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

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

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

BUNKERS

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy’s play in the sand trap has improved dramatically. She says practice helps build confidence to successfully get out of sand traps.

FROM PAGE 23

“They are bunkers with sand,” he said. “If you call them sand traps, right away you are trapped and can’t get out. They are hazards. It is really not a hard shot for people used to making it.”

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

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

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

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

“Like today, the first time I was in the sand, I hit it three times trying to get out,” Lebar said after competing in the Centennial League tournament in April at Broken Tee Englewood.

“So the rest of the day I wasn’t super confident out of the sand.”

But for the most part, she has learned how to handle the obstacle.

Lebar is a team captain and a fouryear varsity player who is vying for

her third state tournament appearance.

“I used to be really afraid to hit out of the sand, but now I know how to talk myself through it and kind of calm down a little bit and it’s not the worst place to be for me anymore,” Lebar said.

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

“I’d say they are one of my weak points,” she said. “My point is just don’t get in them. It can definitely be mental.

“I’m more confident that I used to be. I’m still working on it.”

The role of repetition Practicing in traps is helpful.

“There are very few courses with sand to practice,” Arapahoe coach Patrick Wilson said. “Family Sports (in Centennial) is good but I tell the girls to make sure nobody is behind the trap in case they (mis-hit) a shot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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