Flag tradition all about patriotism and freedom BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Born and raised in Delta, a city in the Western Slope of Colorado, Bernie Kuta was accustomed to seeing large American flags pop up across his community on patriotic holidays. “It made you feel like you were part of America,” said Kuta, now a Highlands Ranch resident. “So many people take these holidays off and don’t
associate them with anything but vacation.” Kuta and other members of Knights of Columbus, a Catholic-based fraternal organization of which he is a member, are attempting to bring that flag tradition to Highlands Ranch just in time for Memorial Day. The Knights of Columbus, which has 276 men from 18 to 90 years old in its Highlands Ranch chapter, plans to install flagpole holders in the ground
along both sides of Highlands Ranch Parkway, starting with the stretch of road from Lucent Boulevard to Ridgeline Boulevard. The holders, placed 200 feet from each other, will display American flags that are 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide on patriotic holidays, including Memorial Day on May 29, Flag Day on June 14, Independence Day on July 4, Patriot Day on Sept. 11 and Veterans Day on Nov. 11. The flags will be called
“Faithful Freedom Flags.” “We want people to remember our Founding Fathers and the freedom that we have,” said Knights of Columbus member Dave Stauber. “We want to remind people not to take it for granted.” The Highlands Ranch Metro District supports the project and is working with the Knights of Columbus, said Sherry Eppers, the metro district’s community relations manager.
MY NAME IS
NEWS IN A HURRY ‘When thunder roars, go indoors’ The Highlands Ranch Metro District has developed lightning guidelines for recreation game officials and coaches, including suspending games or practices when lightning is within 6 miles and waiting 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder to resume play. When thunder roars, lightning is close enough to be dangerous. When lightning is within 6 miles, or when flash-to-bang time is 30 seconds, residents should: • Seek shelter in a substantial building or a vehicle with a metal roof and metal sides. • Stay away from corded telephones, electrical appliances and plumbing. • If caught outside, stay away from open areas, high ground and water. • Never stand under a tall, isolated tree.
KELLY POINTER
Pilates pro and former ballet dancer About me I’m originally from a suburb of Chicago called Naperville. I first moved out to Colorado in 1998. We did a brief stint in Seattle and moved back in 2009. I went to Indiana University-Bloomington and got a B.S. in business with an emphasis in computer information systems. After college I worked for Ernst & Young and did business analysis and IT work. After my kids were born, I decided to stay at home and work part-time. I fell in love with Pilates and decided to become an instructor. It’s been a really great, flexible job for me. I have two boys that keep me busy. One is in elementary school and the other is in middle school. My passion for Pilates My business that I run out of my home is called CorePoint Pilates. I’m PMA — Pilates Method Alliance — certified. I teach small group mat classes as well as privates and semi-privates. I also work at a Pilates studio called Functional Strength Pilates in Lone Tree. My goal is to provide high quality, classical Pilates instruction in a home environment at an affordable cost. My goal is also to get as many people doing Pilates as possible because it’s an excellent form of exercise that benefits other types of exercise. It’s good for anyone regardless of age or condition. It strengthens your core, all four layers of your abs and can lengthen your muscles. I love Pilates and I love to teach Pilates because it is both physically and mentally stimulating. It is

Parents should ‘speak now’ about drugs and alcohol BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When Jay Martin was 13 years old and living in Nebraska, he answered the family phone to hear a state trooper say his brother had been in a wreck and that the trooper needed to speak with Martin’s parents. Martin’s 19-year-old brother was killed in a car accident in which he was driving drunk. The experience hurt not only his family, Martin said, but also others who were involved in his brother’s crash. Today, Martin is a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office working with the department’s Y.E.S.S. program, in which officers visit local schools and teach about such topics as online safety, relationship safety and substance use. But Martin isn’t the only one trying to teach kids the dos and don’ts of alcohol and drug use. A campaign run by the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health called “Speak Now Colorado” is targeted at
helping parents have those difficult conversations with kids, especially around prom and graduation seasons. On the Speak Now website, speaknowcolorado.org, parents can: • Learn how to spot risky behavior. • Explore hypothetical scenarios to help them prepare for real-life situations involving kids and substances. • Take a quiz to test their knowledge of drug and alcohol use. • Get tips for starting and continuing conversations with their children about drugs and alcohol. Start conversations early Rob Valuck, a professor of pharmacy at the University of Colorado, has worked in substance abuse prevention for nearly 25 years. He says the main reason for parents to keep their kids away from alcohol and drugs, including misuse of prescription drugs, is to protect their health. “We really think it’s a critical time in people’s lives — behaviorally and emotionally and psychologically, but also biologically,” he said of adolescence. “There’s a lot of changes going on in people’s bodies up until about age 25.” Mainly, he said, a person’s brain is still developing during those years. Drugs and alcohol affect how the brain functions, and possibly impact
a person’s reward system and selfcontrol. “We know that there’s issues if people start to use substances in those early years,” he said. When talking to kids, he recommends parents start young, even as early as grade school age, he said, although using age-appropriate terms. It’s important for young people to know their parents don’t think using drugs and alcohol is acceptable. “It’s not a moral thing,” he said. “It’s a safety issue.” Valuck also cautions that people’s risk assessment of substances has decreased, and he reminds people of all ages that no substance is perfectly safe, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs. “There is no totally safe drug,” he said. “Every drug has side effects.” Personal stories connect with kids When it comes to teaching kids about substance use and the power of prescription drugs, Martin believes they have to be reached on an emotional level. So, he’s willing to get personal. In those Y.E.S.S. sessions, he opens up about undergoing back surgery a year and a half ago. Martin was prescribed strong painkillers. He says he felt firsthand the effects of becoming reliant on the drugs and then the
withdrawal symptoms that followed when he took himself off the drugs to avoid addiction. And it wasn’t just physical side effects, Martin said. In addition to cravings, Martin said he also began having thoughts and feelings he’d never had before. Both Martin and Valuck advised parents to let their children know that the “everyone-is-doing it” mentality is a big misconception. “If you truly want to fit in with your peers,” Martin said, “most kids are not using.” Martin also recommends that parents stay up-to-date on what’s new in the world of substances. For example, he said, the sheriff ’s office has encountered many students with vape pens that look like USB ports, which can contain a variety of drugs. “It’s not always nicotine,” he said. “They can be swapped out for THC. We’ve found heroin in them.” Most importantly, Valuck emphasized that parents shouldn’t doubt the impact they can have on a child by openly discussing the dangers of drugs and alcohol — not only around times like prom and graduation, but also year-round. “Research has shown,” he said, “that they listen to us more than we think.”

Summit View students assemble bikes for kids in need Project builds character, exemplifies service and impact BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sam Shiel wiggled a green handlebar into the socket of a glistening Huffy bicycle. He was almost finished assembling the child-sized bike from a box of metal parts and paper directions. “My favorite thing is building the bike and getting to see the kids’ faces when they see the bikes,” said Shiel, a fifth-grade student at Summit View Elementary School. Shiel and 87 other fifth-graders spent the morning of May 9 behind Summit View Elementary School building 51 bikes that would be given as a surprise to kindergarten students of Sedalia Elementary School later that day. The community service project reflects the school’s emphasis on character, service and impact, said fifth-grade teacher Jill Sinclair. “We wanted to find a way to make an impact without just donating funds,” she said. Summit View students raised $5,100 from local businesses to purchase the bikes. Wish for Wheels, a nonprofit organization based out of Denver that gives new bicycles and helmets to kids in low-income communities, delivered the disassembled bikes in dozens of cardboard boxes. Wish for Wheels’ mission is to change a child’s life with the gift of a bike, said Chris Webster, the nonprofit’s build-and-give manager. Owning a bike gives kids a sense of responsibility and freedom and creates a healthier lifestyle, he said. “Getting your first bike is something you remember,” Webster said. The bikes were gifted to Sedalia Elementary School because of its students’ financial situations — about 50 percent qualify for free and reduced lunch, according to Douglas County
Fifth-graders Shuban Dhawan, left, and Sam Schiel demonstrate teamwork as they try to assemble a handlebar for a bicycle on May 9 at Summit View Elementary School, 10200 Piedmont Drive. PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND School District. Summit View students formed relationships with Sedalia kindergarteners in the weeks leading up to the bike surprise. They chatted by video, wrote letters and met each other in person three times. “They see that kids in need are not just a number,” Sinclair said. “They have personalities and are just like other kids.” The fifth-grade students spent about an hour assembling the bikes from bolts, screws parts and pieces. Decorated with ribbons and bows, each finished product had a nametag and handwritten note. “I’m really excited — I love helping people,” student Karter Schwartzkopf said behind a smile. “Our fifth-grade crew is positive and knows how to work together.”

Some board members say increase unlikely to pass BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Despite a pessimistic prediction from two members, the Douglas County Board of Education formally voted to support the recommendation of a district subcommittee to pursue a new tax measure on the 2018 ballot to pay for capital needs improvements and a rise in techer pay. “You know what’s going to happen to that ballot initiative, don’t you?” board member James Geddes said at the board’s May 9 meeting. “It’s going to fail. That is not going to solve our problem. I guarantee it’s going to fail. Remember I said that.” Geddes, who pointed to the history of voters rejecting tax increases in the county, suggested a better way to secure new funding is to ask Douglas County to help in such areas as security expenses and transportation. “The tax base has improved nicely for the county government and the cities. There should be a mechanism in place for us to come up with an agreement that says they will pick up some of the expense for educating these children,” he said. “That’s not being done and I’m not happy about it, quite frankly.” Board member David Ray, however, described a sense or urgency in the district in regards to funding and said that a tax measure is the only available option on the table at the moment. “This district is in dire financial need,” Ray said. “We can sit up here on our soap box and point fingers and say ‘you and you and you need to step up,’ but the reality is we need the money now.” The subcommittee — comprised of members of the District Accountability Committee, Long Range Planning Committee and Fiscal Oversight Committee — had issued its advice at the school board’s March 7 meeting. Ray said at last week’s meeting he wanted the board to set a precedent of formally responding to recommendations made by committees. “I think it’s incumbent on us to respond to that committee’s work,” Ray said, “so my hope is we can get into the pattern of actually responding.” Committee members, whose recommendation is not a binding decision that the school board is required to follow, said one benefit of waiting until 2018 is that the ballot will include the governor’s race, which likely will increase voter turnout. Also, waiting a year would provide time to gather community support. In addition, they concluded it was best to not ask the commu-
‘The tax base has improved nicely for the county government and the cities.’ James Geddes, board member
nity for a tax increase during the school board election in 2017, as it would become a campaign issue. “I sincerely believe that had we been listening to this subcommittee years ago we wouldn’t be experiencing the financial hardships that we are right now,” Ray said. In recent years, the district has faced funding shortages and rising capital needs at schools across the district. In 2015, the Long Range Planning Committee, a group of community members and parents who study the district’s capital needs, estimated the cost at $275.1 million for current and future projects over five years. The committee identified the following major areas of need: facility reinvestment $133.6 million; technology, $53 million; and new construction to accommodate growth, $38.8 million. The community rejected a $200 million bond issue in 2011 that would have gone toward building three new schools in Castle Rock and Parker and a $29 million mill levy override that would have provided funding for instructional expenses and pay-for-performance for teachers. In 2008, Douglas County voters defeated a $395 million bond issue and a $17 million mill levy override to support building new schools, improving student achievement, recruiting and retaining the workforce and improving the district’s technological advances in the face of expanded enrollment. Board member Steven Peck agreed with Geddes about pursuing other sources of money, such as from the county, and also questioned the probability of a tax measure being able to pass. “I’m just not confident,” Peck said. Board President Meghann Silverthorn said it was imperative that the district devise a successful strategy to secure more funds. “This attempt, whenever it is, is going to be the third,” she said about a possible tax measure, “and if we’re not successful, that is devastating. We cannot fail with this.”

Douglas County recruits school district for Open Data Initiative BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As part of their effort to streamline public access to government data and services throughout the county, Douglas County officials pitched the school district on joining its Open Data Initiative, which lets consumers search for such information through one user-friendly portal. “This is an effort to change the culture in Douglas County and tear down the layers of information that separates each one of our governments, including the school district, and become more relevant,” Douglas County Treasurer Diane Holbert told the Douglas County Board of Education at its May 9 meeting. Douglas County Assessor Lisa Frizell, who also spoke at the meeting, noted how — with technology so easily accessible — the Open Data Initiative can give citizens access to information in the palm of
their hand, including material that once required an open records request. “We live in a very sophisticated community,” Frizell said. And “the bottom line is people don’t care about the silos that we’ve built. They don’t care about the invisible lines in the sand between jurisdictions. They just want their questions answered.” Reaction from school board members was mixed. Participation in the program would require the district to share large amounts of its data with the county and make them open to the public. “It sounds incredibly intriguing,” board member Judith Reynolds said. “And, in fact, one of the things that I hear from people all the time is that as much information that is on our website, it can be difficult to find.” Board member Wendy Vogel said she SEE DATA, P9

Metro district hiring for summer positions Help needed outdoors in parks and open space STAFF REPORT
Those in need of a summer job should look no further. The Highlands Ranch Metro District is hiring for seasonal positions — working outdoors in community parks, sports fields and open spaces —

had concerns as a taxpayer about the cost. “It’s one of those things that we’ve been through over the past several years that give us pause,” Vogel said, referencing the money spent on the district’s software InspirED, a web-based software the district built to help educators create teaching units, evaluate and document their progress, and get feedback from evaluators. And board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said she thought the district had more pressing priorities at the moment. “I appreciate it and it think it’s a
now through November. “There are several jobs to choose from with varying schedules,” the metro district’s website says, “but, unlike most other seasonal positions, you get to work with enthusiastic people in the beautiful, outdoor setting of Highlands Ranch.” Repairing irrigation systems, assisting in landscaping projects, gardening, mowing and cleaning park shelters are among the list of seasonal employment opportunities.
Pay ranges from $10-$15 per hour, depending on experience. Workweeks are typically 40 hours and may include nights and weekends. Flexible scheduling may be accommodated depending on the type of work and with pre-employment approval by the supervisor, according to the Metro District. Unless otherwise noted, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid Colorado driver’s license and an acceptable motor vehicle record. A
high school diploma or GED equivalent is required for applicants 18 and older. Pre-employment drug screening and background checks, including driving record, will be conducted. Available jobs and applications are at highlandsranch.org/jobs. Applications must be submitted to Highlands Ranch Metro District Human Resources, 62 W. Plaza Drive. Job preference should be listed. For details about available positions, call 303-791-0430.
very intriguing idea,” she said, “but I don’t think it should be a priority right now.” In response to a followup question from Colorado Community Media several days later, Frizell said there would be no cost to the district to participate. The Open Data Initiative’s goal is “to make access to government services seamless, intuitive, and convenient to the citizens we serve,” the Douglas County website states. Implemented in December, the initiative has since collected publicly available information from Douglas County agencies and departments, Douglas County Libraries, the Sheriff ’s Office as well as Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines and Lone Tree. Ideally, the county hopes all of its
municipalities and agencies will participate and is courting them to do so. The program is all about layering data from across the county and combining it in useful ways. “The real advantage is when you can see where houses sold, how much for and what the bus route is,” Frizell said. “That tells a better story.” In response to concerns about cost, Holbert maintained the program was fiscally responsible. “This is not throwing money out the window,” Holbert said. “As you know, we are very conservative down the street here about the use of taxpayer dollars, and the cost offset from the CORA requests alone way outweigh what we’ve put into this.” (CORA stands for Colorado
Open Records Act.) Reynolds said she hoped the school district would explore the program. The county said it plans to work with the district and Superintendent Erin Kane further. No action will be taken without first coming back to the board for approval. In her attempt to persuade the board, Holbert pointed to the oneof-a-kind partnership that was being formed around the initiative by the combining of the county’s municipalities. “I can’t tell you about anywhere else in the United States that happens,” she said. “This is a very unique opportunity to come together as a community and serve our citizens.”

United through mail, generations apart Second-graders meet their senior citizen pen pals after a year of sending letters BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sil Stenman, 80, reached across the table to hold the hand of her pen pal, Abby Brown, 9, as Brown read Stenman her favorite book, “On Top of Spaghetti.” This was the first time they had met after exchanging letters since August. “I am happy,” Brown said. “I am so excited to meet you, the best pen pal.” Second-graders from Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch met their senior-citizen pen pals for the first time on April 28 at the Holly Creek Retirement Community in Centennial. Stenman had knit a small teddy bear named “Chocolate” for Brown. The day the two met, it was Brown’s ninth birthday and Stenman sang her “Happy Birthday.” Phoebe Alfke, 85, said she hung letters from her pen pal, Kayla Boerman, on her fridge. The two had never seen photos of each other but created a strong friendship before finally meeting. “It is kind of like a mystery,” Alfke

Over the course of the school year, the pen pals exchanged five letters. “We are excited,” said Alice Garrett, 76, hugging her pen pal, Abigail Wood. “Yeah,” said Wood, 8, while jumping up and down. “I am happy, excited
and more happy.” Each of the second-grade students brought a favorite book to read to their pen pals.

We like to be handed pamphlets at the door. Given DVDs. Hear a deep voice say, “Listen without interrupting. Speak without accusing. Give without sparing, but we don’t accept American Express.” I take my cues from observation and lots of research, and then I simply roll up my sleeves and get to work. Others need others.

Meditation and tent meetings and retreats and colonic irrigations aren’t on my list. I don’t believe that you get there from here by being out there. I would sooner make summer camp moccasins than sit in a room with hundreds of others and listen to a heap of calibrated phrases. Most of us are recovering from something. Bad relationships, job failures, drugs, alcohol, financial woes, the recent election.
No one loses weight by taking a pill, unless it puts you to sleep for 20 years. Washington Irving wrote “Rip Van Winkle” after filing for bankruptcy in 1818, hoping to write his way out of debt. He could have gone away just like Van Winkle, and bent elbows at the bar with a bunch of dwarves, just like Van Winkle. Instead, he got to work. I watched a film the other night.

s holding on to tradition more important than change or trying something new? Are change and trying something new more appealing and intriguing than holding on to tradition? Do we hold on to tradiWINNING tion just because WORDS that is the way we were brought up and traditions are a comfort zone for us? There are so many questions that could be asked, and certainly no shortage of opinions when it comes to the topic Michael Norton of tradition. I think the question I really want to explore is this one: Does our traditional thinking ever get in the way of our personal growth, community effectiveness, or business productivity? Sometimes I think we hold on to tradition to preserve a special feeling or connection to something in our past or something connected to someone in our lives or from our past. There is nothing wrong with that — as a matter of fact, I have certain traditions that I still hold on to or practice because they bring back amazing memories of my grandmother or grandfather. And yet there are other traditions that I was hold-
ing on to just for the sake of holding on to them. Even though intellectually I knew that a change was needed or warranted, my pride in clinging to tradition would win the battle. Recently I was visiting a church that was about to celebrate its 160th anniversary. The church was small, beautiful, and had a wonderful congregation. Many of the regular worshippers had been attending this church for many, many years. Generations of families filled the pews, and being such a small church in a small town, everyone knew each other quite well. After the church service everyone gathered for coffee and some light pastries and cakes. The topic of discussion that morning centered around whether or not a new audio/ video system should be approved for the sanctuary. A new system would change the look and feel of the sanctuary and this had many of the traditionalists in a bit of a panic as they believed that nothing should disrupt the physical appearance of the sanctuary as it stood today. Yet others who had visited neighboring churches or attended church services in other areas shared how the use of audio and video really helped connect the message for them and

Legislature falls short on taking care of air, kids GUEST COLUMN
he state Legislature wrapped up this week, with a whimper. Lawmakers failed to deal with something so basic that it’s hard to believe our state leaders are ignoring it – the air we breathe. The American Lung Association just released their latest State of the Air report. Each year they compile official air quality data from around the country which they put in perspective for those of us who don’t understand what all those numbers mean. They boil it down to a simple letter grade like our kids bring home on their report cards. Alarmingly, we’re failing. Nine counties in Colorado received an F, including all our suburban counties: Jefferson, Douglas, Adams, Arapahoe and Boulder. Two others received a D. That’s two more counties that received an F than last year. While there were some minor areas of improvement, it’s clear we have a lot of work ahead of us. Air pollution can cause permanent problems in young children whose lungs are still developing in addition to other serious effects like lung cancer and asthma attacks. As parents, our most important job is to protect our children — but we alone can’t change the air. Legislators couldn’t come to agreement and the Governor didn’t provide the leadership to push through a solution to this problem. There was no clean energy legislation. While an energy efficiency bill passed, and this is good news, it extended programs that are already in place. Since those programs have been in place and we’re still failing, we clearly need a bigger, more comprehensive solution to match the extent of the problem. As parents, if our child brings home a report card with failing grades we don’t say that it’s OK and ignore it. We would try to understand what went wrong and address the problem.
So why aren’t our state leaders doing that with our air? And just as I would ask my child what happened, I’m asking the governor: What happened? Why are we failing and what are we going to do to fix the problem? It’s bad enough now, but what’s Jen Clanahan worse is we’re heading into summer. The heat of summer exacerbates ozone pollution; almost all our red alert days happen during the summer. Summer should be a time of carefree outdoor play for our kids or when we head to the mountains to explore our state. Unfortunately, air doesn’t stay in one place so leaving the metro area doesn’t alleviate the situation. Now that we’ve missed the opportunity to address the issue during the legislative season we need Gov. Hickenlooper to address it. He stood up to tell President Trump to uphold the Paris climate agreement and he has pledged that Colorado should have the cleanest air in the country. Now we need action to match the sentiments. We call on Gov. Hickenlooper to take action to protect our children from the dangerous impacts of ozone pollution. He has the authority. Whether it’s through executive orders or through a state agency like the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, he must and can act. With such a large portion of our population living in a county with failing air quality we can’t sit back and wait for future legislative sessions to try again.

old guard in my own heart and head could easily have the same debate: Do I preserve the traditions of my past and present, or am I willing to shake things up a little and grow? I guess the answer is somewhere in between. So how about you? Are you a traditionalist? Or are you OK with breaking through your comfort zone a little from time to time and going through some changes that can help you expand your thinking and grow? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can ride the balance of holding to certain traditions while exploring new ways of thinking and behaving, it really will be a better than good week.

especially helped their children connect to the message. The latter group believed that a change was needed in order to attract new members to the church and to help continue to build upon the legacy of the church that had been established 160 years ago. And the other group felt it would be disrespectful to cut into the walls and mar the sanctuary in any way. As I listened to both sides of the debate, I couldn’t help but think about what I was holding on to just for the sake of holding on to it. Was I living in my own comfort zone full of traditions that I was unwilling to give up for no other reason than “just because”? And just like this church I was visiting, perhaps the

scripts and directors and good acting, instead of junk in space. I watched and listened for dialogue and dialogue pauses, editing, lighting, and “Dutch” camera angles. The soundtrack is unforgettable. I thought about the director, Carol Reed, who knew what he was doing because he studied film, and got to work. I’ll name it at the end of this, but here are some other clues: zither, postwar Vienna. I am recovering from something — maybe a number of things — but the main one is the bottle. There is a lot of work that is involved that others never see, unless you know an alcoholic. And who doesn’t? I can hear Dusty Springfield right now. “Wishing and hoping and thinking
and praying, planning and dreaming” won’t get the job done. The point is that I have to do much more than sign up for a seminar. A long, long time ago, I heard about record albums that you could listen to in your sleep, so you didn’t have to do the work when you were awake. You could learn a foreign language in your sleep. You could learn about self-help in your sleep. Bunkum. The film I referred to is “The Third Man.” No one watches films like it now. It takes too much work. It’s all substance. It’s intelligently made. No one flies without wings. The galaxy in it is right here on the ground. My best motivational speaker is myself.

market correction? How will Germany vote later this year regarding the Eurozone? Are stock prices sustainable at these valuations? Will inflation increase with full employment and wage pressures? These are all worthwhile concerns, which make it very important to analyze your holdings for how each of these would impact you. This is a better process than just selling for the sake of trying to avoid the unknown. Each position in your portfolio should represent a goal and it is important to revisit that to make certain you are positioned correctly for your situation. If you have too many positions doing the same thing, then you may lack diversification. This could be detrimental when prices do adjust. Keep in mind that bull markets do not die of old age but rather from an unforeseen event. Instead of guessing what and when that might be, it is better to have a solid strategy designed to keep you focused on your goals.

demeanor charges, with fines ranging from $300 to $1,000 and a possible sentence of 10 days to one year in prison. “It’s a start to make Colorado roads safer in the long run,” said Susan Dane, co-founder of Colorado Organized for Responsible Driving. “But our work is not done.” Dane and other CORD members founded the group after friends Jacquie and Brian Lehner were killed in an accident on State Route 83 north of Franktown in 2016. The driver admitted to drinking and smoking marijuana before the accident, as
well as checking a text message, just before she drifted into oncoming traffic and caused the accident. CORD had representatives at every committee hearing throughout the course of the bill’s passage, Dane said. The next step for the group will be to work with schools and driver’s education programs to reach young drivers before texting becomes part of their driving routine. “I don’t know what it’s going to take to get people to shake the habit,” Dane said. “But we’re going to keep working at it.”

Parkour and ninja rise in popularity Two similar, young sports gain legitimacy with gyms and TV shows BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
P
arkour came into Mark D’Agosta’s life the way many people find their passions in the 21st century — YouTube. “I was already doing this stuff,” he said. “There just wasn’t any sort of training or name for it.” By “this stuff,” D’Agosta, 32, means parkour, a loosely-defined physical training discipline in which participants essentially create obstacle courses from the environment around them that was developed in France in the 1980s. “I was
climbing on buildings, getting on roofs and stuff when I was a kid,” said the Englewood resident. In 2009, his sister saw the videos of the sport that had become popular online. “She was like, `Hey, look, there are people who do the stuff you do — but they’re good at it,’ ” he said. Parkour has moved indoors in recent years, first being incorporated into gymnastics programs. As popularity has grown, dedicated parkour gyms have sprung up, and
a new offshoot, “ninja training,” has evolved. Ninja, as seen on the televised American Ninja Warrior competition and others like it, has competitors running defined obstacle courses against one another, distinguishing it from parkour. “Parkour is pure imagination,” said John Maul, who co-owns Ninja Intensity gym in Castle Rock with Brandi and Ryan Lebsack. Ninja Intensity offers classes in parkour and ninja, mainly geared towards kids. The Lebsacks decided to open the gym after their son, Kaden, found a passion for it. Their classes have steadily increased in size since they opened in December and they plan to offer camps this summer. D’Agosta has coached parkour, along with gymnastics, in gyms but prefers outdoors, finding areas downtown where one can find walls, fountains or other infrastructure that can be turned into obstacles without trespassing. “For me,” he said, “parkour is about your environment.” D’Agosta founded the parkour club at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, where he recently graduated. This past semester, he had about 10 consistent club members. The most he has had in a semester was 50, split between ACC students and community members. Ninja training is mostly done in the gym, and practitioners are in the midst of trying to legitimize it as a sport, with organized leagues like the National Ninja League popping up. “I see it branching away from the reality show aspect,” Maul said. Lorin Ball, an American Ninja Warrior competitor, owns Ninja Brand Parkour Gym in Henderson, about 15 miles north of Denver along I-76. Although most of his students are kids, he said, the sports of ninja and parkour
PARKOUR VERSUS NINJA Parkour has its roots in 1980s France, and its founding is most often credited to David Belle, who created the sport with inspiration from his father, Raymond Belle, who developed a passion for running obstacle courses, or “parcours du combatant,” while growing up in a military orphanage in French-occupied Vietnam. David Belle and a group of his friends used their skills to
conquer improvised obstacles in urban areas. The sport of ninja is much more recent, springing from the Japanese competition TV series “Sasuke” and its American spinoff “American Ninja Warrior.” Though many skills from parkour apply to ninja, they differ in that the latter is an organized, competitive event on a closed course.
appeal to teens, young adults and even older adults looking to try something new. “They need more,” he said. “They need something where they can apply the exercise they’ve done.” Maul came to the budding sport not long ago, with most of his fitness background being in powerlifting. Many of the adults starting ninja are also Crossfit PHOTOS BY SHUTTERSTOCK athletes, weightlifters, runners or rockclimbers, Ball said. For kids, Ball says parkour and ninja are ways to “get off of the video games and be the video game.” Joey Piersee, 16, started ninja recently and is already coaching kids at Ninja Intensity. “It’s a good way to work out,” he said. “It’s a good way to have fun. It’s a good way to be competitive.” While there is certainly a completive angle to ninja, particularly at the higher levels, Maul said it is really more about competing against yourself. “It’s a small world,” he said, “and what I SEE PARKOUR, P17

Town Hall painting exhibition offers works by four women ‘Salon d’ Littleton’ event is tied to theater’s staging of ‘Hairspray’ BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rita Campbell of Englewood, Patti Harrison of northwest Denver, Rachel Hueske of Aurora and Karen Kennedy of Roxborough make up a quartet of artists exhibiting their paintings in “Salon d’ Littleton,” an exhibit that accompanies Town Hall Arts Center’s lighthearted final show of the 20162017 season: “Hairspray,” through June 27. Campbell, a Littleton Fine Arts Guild member and recent Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society, writes that she “enjoys experimenting with different forms of art, including painting with coffee, alcohol inks and melted wax (encaustics).” When Campbell retired from the University of Denver, her husband gave her a gift certificate to Judi Patti’s Painting Studio in Littleton as a Christmas present. Since then, she has continued to study with Patti and attended a number of workshops with area painters. She teaches encaustics technique as well as painting with it. Her brilliantly colored “Magic Hairspray” is especially appropriate for a show that accompanies “Hairspray.”

D’Agosta has had several inuries doing parkour over the years. “I broke my hand, I shattered my collarbone, hyperextended my elbow and had a few pretty serious tendon issues in my ankle and shoulder.” However, D’Agosta said those were

“Magic Hairspray” by Rita Campbell, 14”x16,” painted with alcohol ink, is part of the “Salon d’Littleton” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center, in conjunction with the musical “Hairspray.”
“SALON D’ LITTLETON” opens on May 17 in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. A Meet the Artists reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on June 2. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and during productions. 303-794-2787. She says it uses alcohol ink. Harrison paints landscapes, animals and florals with a relaxed feeling, as well as high-energy, high-tension abstracts. She has been painting in watercolor, oils and acrylic paints for 15 years and says each offers different challenges. She is also a metalsmith, creating jewelry with silver, copper, cabochons and freshwater pearls — and in both areas is inspired by the beauty of her materials. With an MBA and a BS in science, she worked as a controller until recently. Her work is at the Light Rail Gallery in Arvada and Main Street Fine Art Gallery in Evergreen. Hueske says her recent work is inspired by Aboriginal art. She primarily paints in acrylics, but enjoys other media. Trained in K-12 art education, she is also a professional dog groomer. At this time in her life, she finds time to paint when her 3-year-old and infant are napping. She has exhibited at the PACE Center and Integrative Health in Denver’s RiNo Arts Dis-

mainly in his early years in the sport, when he had less understanding of how to train safely. His past injuries have influenced him to pursue a career in physical therapy. People will drive a long way to train in parkour or ninja. Before opening the gym, the Lebsacks were driving Kaden to Longmont to work out. Brandi said Ninja Intensity has members from as far away as Colorado Springs. After four years of coaching, Ball doesn’t see an end to the popularity. “We still haven’t seen a plateau yet,” he said.

Nine Calder sculptures come to Denver Botanic Gardens Exhibition will continue through late September BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“All of a sudden, something magnificent happens,” said happy Denver Botanic Gardens director Brian Vogt, as he introduced an exhibit of works by important American sculptor Alexander Calder — a project seven years in the making. The exhibit, “Calder Monumental,” running through Sept. 24, includes nine large Calder sculptures, including a graceful mobile, “Snow Flurry, May 14, 1959,” floating inside near the entrance. It was loaned by the Denver Art Museum. (Some readers may recall that storm!) Inside, there is also a video of Calder’s smaller, playful, wire sculpture circus: “Le Grande Cirque Calder,” which was entertaining a group of schoolchildren when we visited for a press preview. At the walk near the entrance one is greeted by the black “Funghi Neri,” more than 9 feet tall and created from sheet metal, bolts and paint. Calder made this one for himself, rather than to sell, his grandson said. It beckons for the visitor to come into the garden and enjoy the juxtaposition of abstracted sculptures, trees and shrubs in all shapes and sizes and blossoms in every color imaginable. As spring phases into summer, changes in light will play with the sculptures and leafy green things will grow, making for a different picture almost daily. “Funghi Neri” is one of several pieces loaned by the Calder Foundation, started in 1987 by the sculptor’s grandson, Alexander S. C. Rower, 53, who was an enthusiastic tour guide on April 27. “We have been collecting, exhibiting, preserving and interpreting art and archives since 1987,” he said. Also shepherding the distinctive works through their Denver debut was guest

Free parking. curator Alfred Pacquement, former director of Paris’ Pompidou Center for Modern Art, who observed, “It was difficult to do a show — museums did not want to let that Calder go for two months.” Next along the path is “Tripes,” suggestive of the organ that is a popular food in France and elsewhere. Then one arrives at “Untitled” (1976) a huge human figure (male of female or neither?). The anti-Vietnam War Calder left a hole in the forehead, designed to help move the piece, calling it a bullet hole. “The Crab,” painted bright red, seems more playful and light in design. Calder moved to France and bought a horse farm, where he made his studio for years. After World War II, he commenced to make monumental pieces that could come apart to be moved. Later, they were permanently welded. They represented an engagement with the environment … The title was not a technical description, Rower said while introducing “The Crab.” Rower recalled childhood hours spent in his grandfather’s studio. Although Calder’s works are sometimes whimsical, humorous, leading the public to think he was probably a funny fellow, “he was deadly serious” while creating his works. “Each had a life force.” Every bolt was precisely placed and had a meaning. The public may be more accustomed to seeing Calder’s mobiles — many architects have commissioned them to enhance new buildings, but he also made standing pieces starting in the 1950s. During World War II, he couldn’t get sheet metal and began carving in wood

and making plaster sculptures. “Five Rudders” is set in the Monet Pool, which had to be drained to get the work installed. “Six Dots Over a Mountain” is also set in a pool. It is a standing mobile, not designed to
be in a pool, but “this pool was ready to receive a sculpture,” according to Pacquement, who visited the gardens earlier to determine locations. “There’s no fixed rule — each time, it’s a new experience.”

School safety training facility opens in Jeffco Center will help police train for active-shooter situations BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On the day before the 18-year anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, Jefferson County Public Schools dedicated a training facility where law enforcement agencies and other first responders can prepare for active shooter situations, learn crisis prevention techniques in a real-school environment and use a simulator that offers interactive training for a variety of school threat scenarios. The Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety, named after former Columbine High Principal Frank DeAngelis, is located at the Martensen Elementary School building, 6625 45th Place in Wheat Ridge. Martensen opened in 1954 and closed to students in 2011. The facility now serves Jeffco Public Schools safety and security staff, local police and fire departments, other school district security departments, and has also hosted training for the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI. Seventeen agencies have booked 157 days of training at the facility for the 2016-17 school year.
Frank DeAngelis, former Columbine High School principal, said he thinks every day about the students who were killed at the school on April 20, 1999. SHANNA FORTIER “The dedication is a reminder of the importance of continuous work towards school safety and security,” said Diana Wilson, chief communications officer for Jeffco Schools. “We all want to keep our kids safe, but we also know we can’t do that alone as a school district.” On April 20, 1999, 12 students and one teacher died and 20 were injured when two teens went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton. At the time, the crime was the worst school shooting in U.S. history.
The training facility is a result of partnerships with the school district, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office and individual police departments in Jefferson County. “This is a one-of-a-kind facility in the United States,” said Steve Bell, chief operating officer of Jeffco Schools. “If there’s one out there that’s something like this, we can’t find it.” The training facility is the vision of John McDonald, executive director of safety, security and emergency planning for Jeffco Schools.
“Between 1982 and 2010, our school district has had three school shootings,” McDonald said. “Between 1999 and 2016, the state of Colorado has had seven school shootings. Too many, too much, no more. This facility offers us a place to train. This facility provides a different kind of education. This is where tactics are learned, strategies discussed and egos are checked at this door.” In 2006, Emily Keyes was killed at Platte Canyon High School during a hostage situation. To honor her memory, the training room at Martensen was named the Emily Keyes, I Love You Guys training room. “I love you guys,” was the text she sent her parents minutes before she died. McDonald said that when he started thinking about the community and resiliency that has surrounded Jeffco over the years, he thought of DeAngelis. “Frank has been one of my heroes and he is also a mentor and friend,” McDonald said. “I’ve seen him in the middle of crisis and I’ve seen the grief and burden he carries — and the strength that he carries it with.” DeAngelis represents hope, McDonald said, and so does the training facility. So it was only natural to name it after him. “This building is a reminder of all those lives lost,” McDonald said, “and all those lives we will save in the future.”

With its May 19 final season concert at Lone Tree Arts Center pending, the 17-year-old Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra announced that Cindy Kessinger has joined the symphony as executive director, bringing 25 years of experience in various aspects of music and media advertising. With a newly organized volunteer guild, “The Symphomaniacs,” and numerous ideas for Kessinger selling more season tickets and cultivating patrons and community awareness, Kessinger looks forward to the next season, which is already planned and includes a concert with the Young Voices chorale. Music director and conductor Jacinda Bouton said, “Cindy’s wealth of experience, industry knowledge and community connection have already made her a key addition to the LTSO family. We view her appointment as a sign of our commitment to being an orchestra the City of Lone Tree can be proud of …” Growing up in a musical family encouraged Kessinger’s interest: “We all took piano lessons.” She graduated from the University of Nebraska/Omaha, with a degree in piano and voice. A vocal coach, she was in radio sales and training, including with KYGO. She has lived in the area since 1994 and is currently located in

Eric Cook Mountain Vista High School What activities/organizations/ sports were you involved in high school? In all four years of high school, I was part of the drum line for the Golden Eagle Marching Band. I’ve continued to play drums outside of school as well. I also was a Boy Scout, and earned my Eagle Scout in October 2016. What are your plans after graduation? After graduation, I will be attending the University of Colorado-Denver and studying music production.
What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I am pursuing a career in music because it is something that I am really passionate about, and I feel like it can make me a successful person. What do you hope to accomplish in life? I hope to be able to perform for many people throughout my life. If I could do anything, it would be ... I would travel around the world and try to get an understanding of many cultures because everywhere is so diverse and unique. I just want to be able to see the world from a different perspective, basically.
Aatif Jiwani STEM Academy Jiwani was involved in National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Math Honor Society, BEST Robotics, student government, Technology Student Association and Future Business Leaders of America. He also was a junior varsity outfielder for Highlands Ranch High School. He plans to study computer science and art practice at the University of California, Berkeley. What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I want to pursue a career in software engineering and design (UX/UI Design). After I gain more experience in the tech industry, I want to take up a career at Apple in Cupertino. I hope to work hard and then later become either the chief
design officer or the senior vice president of software engineering. What do you hope to accomplish in life? The one thing I always keep in mind when I’m creating new programs or finding new solutions through the use of computers is the community. I hope to improve the lives of, and make a lasting impact on, the people in globally impoverished communities by exploring innovative solutions to pertinent problems by using the advantageous resources computer science has to offer. If I could do anything, it would be ... To become the new CEO of Apple and shift more of the company’s focus to helping and prospering the community.
What would you change about the world “The injustice and hatred that has become too common. Too often we treat others as inferior and focus on our own personal intentions ... We should be kind to all and treat everyone with respect, no matter who they are. The power of kindness has the ability to change the world by influencing others to choose love over hate. When you are kind to others, it stretches far beyond the relationship of two people and creates a ripple effect that touches the lives of many. If we learned to love unconditionally, our world would be a much better place for all.” — McCaili Giauque, ThunderRidge High School
“The way we judge people. We judge people so quickly by the clothes they wear, the cars they drive and the houses they live in. We judge ourselves because we think we aren’t good enough — we judge others because they are too good. If we all stepped back and stop judging we could help ourselves and help others.” — Breyann Murray, Mountain Vista High School
“A switch to cleaner forms of energy and focus more heavily on conservation. We only have one planet and it’s in our best interest to become more conscious citizens of it.” — Charlie Nims, STEM School and Academy

themselves. I also want to work in a hospital, but I don’t handle blood well so I can’t be a doctor.
Grossman participated in tennis, the athletic training club and Link Crew. She will attend Colorado State University, but will first spend the summer traveling in Israel.
What do you hope to accomplish in life? I want to come up with new ways to help animals and people at the same time. I want to be able to combine my love for those who can’t help themselves and people who are struggling and make the world a happier place.
What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? Occupational therapy — specifically neonatal. I just love helping people in general, and there’s no better feeling than helping a baby who can’t help
If I could do anything, it would be ... Travel, travel, travel. I want to visit as many countries as I possibly can. I love seeing other cultures and I’m a sucker for a good scenic view.
Alex Fredrich SkyView Academy Fredrich has participated in soccer, basketball, volleyball, choir and school plays. He was in the All State Choir senior year and is a member of the Thespian Society. He plans to attend University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I want to study sports management, probably with an emphasis in soccer. UCCS has really good connections with soccer clubs in Europe and they send students there for internships — and I think that would be a blast.
What do you hope to accomplish in life? My dream job, if all went well, I’d love to be the front office person for a sports organization. I geek out whenever there is a sports draft of any kind, but maybe I should leave that to the people who know a lot more about that. If I could do anything, it would be ... To be the CEO of the business side of a sports club. I think it would be super fun and I’d enjoy that. It would be mixing two of my passions: I love to watch and play any sport you put in front of me, and I also love critiquing and seeing what I can do to make a business better.
What would you change about the world and why? “People. It’s a big thing to change, but you have to start somewhere. By people I mean their listening skills and open-mindedness. Too much doesn’t get done due to stubbornness and the fact that everyone thinks they are right all the time. Even if they think they’re right, how could it hurt you to hear what someone else has to say about it? “You can only grow by being open and kind when having conversations and even trying to solve big problems. This small change could help everyone evolve towards so much positive change in every aspect. Listening is learning, no matter what you are listening to.”
“I would probably change how people view themselves. I want to inspire people and, in doing so, I would inspire myself. Everything comes down to how you see yourself. If you are not able to accept who you are, you will be too busy battling that to actually focus on what you want to accomplish.” —Josephine Rutledge, SkyView Academy
— Hanna Lee Gallegos, ThunderRidge High School “I would try to get people to ask more questions. There are a lot of things that can only be answered through questions — especially expressing people’s point of view. It is only by asking questions that we can fully understand where everyone is coming from. That is how we can actually get to know people.” “I would make it so children would not ever get sick — no children’s hospitals! Since this is not realistic, I guess what I really want is for people to care more. I feel caring is lacking in our society.” —Breanne Frank, Legend High School
—Joseph Gray, SkyView Academy

Mkay Armbrust Valor Christian High School
Connor Hendrick Rock Canyon High School
sion I would look into law school, as I have always been very good at debate/communication. What do you hope to accomplish in life? My two main mentors are Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, as I have always had a desire to create something that makes the world a better place. I want to have an impact on people that makes their lives better and easier.
Armbrust played football and basketball, participated in DECA and also served as a youth group leader. He plans to attend Colorado State University and major in business administration and minor in political science. What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart and I plan to run my own business one day. I’m very excited as I’m currently in the midst of a startup that I hope to launch in the fall of 2017. If I had to choose a real profes-
If I could do anything, it would be to ... Build a homeless apartment complex in all major cities and allow homeless people to live there and eat daily meals on a regular basis. My goal would be to give them resources to get an education or a job to eventually be independent. Everyone has hard times and some people just need a second chance or a little help.
Connor Hendrick, who played junior varsity tennis and volunteered at the James H. LaRue Branch Library in Highlands Ranch during his high school career, is heading to Colorado State University with plans to major in psychology. What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I want to pursue psychology and I want to become a therapist. I want to become a therapist because I want to make and see a difference in people’s lives. What do you hope to accomplish in life? In life, I wish to accomplish
my goals of having a successful career, traveling as much as possible, and being content throughout life. I want to make a real difference in the world and see my views become reality in one way or another. If I could do anything, I would … If I could do anything, I would change the way many elements of society work. I would advocate for equality, education, health, and sustaining the environment. I would make sure the planet and people are taken care of first before I would tackle other issues like the economy and foreign policies. Basically, if I could do anything, I would become the president to make as much of a difference in this country and on this planet as possible.
What would you change about the world and why? “I would make the world more empathetic as a whole. Empathy, I feel, is quintessential to understanding people and working towards solutions in a cooperative way that benefits everyone. Being more empathetic makes life a lot easier and better off, ultimately.” —Spencer Kuhn, Rock Canyon High School
“I would make it easier for people to understand each other’s points of view because it is important to see others’ perspectives even if we do not agree with them. Understanding how others see situations helps us gain new insights and relate to other people, as well as take new approaches in our work.” —Neha Chauhan, Rock Canyon High School
“The prevalence of compassion. I think so much hate and disagreement can be avoided by taking a minute to understand where another person is coming from. Assuming positive intent and listening to the situation of someone else can add so much perspective and understanding, all while likely avoiding an irreversible conflict.” — Julia Hylton, Chaparral High School

Community Rodeo lets locals show off their skills Casey Jones Park is venue for event running through two days BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Elizabeth Stampede gets an early start this weekend with its annual Community Rodeo at Casey Jones Park on May 20-21, where competitions are held with a focus on community participation. Lone Tree resident and real-estate broker Don Martin serves on the Stampede Board. He is also a sponsor of the Stampede. “A lot of local cowboys and cowgirls compete in smaller associations, so they (the Stampede committee) have created a second weekend for that,” Martin said. “I ran with it a year ago and it was there was an explosion with it. There was a huge crowd last year and we expect to magnify that this year.” The May 20 events will start at noon with team ropin’. The Grand Entry competition will begin at 6:30 p.m. and includes bareback, saddleback, bulls, chute doggin’ and mutton bustin’ competitions. “Chute doggin’ is just like steer wrestling, except you don’t jump on the horse, and then you wrestle it (the steer) to the ground,” Martin explained. “We call out volunteers from the crowd to do it. We had like 25 people come down last year.” “This year we have a couple of deputies from the Elbert County sheriff and a couple guys from the fire department to come down and do it. We’re going to make it a friendly competition kind of thing,” Martin said. The night of May 20 will wind up with a dance from 9 p.m until 1 a.m. with live country music by Richie Law. May 21 is dedicated to youth competitions with the first annual All Youth
A bareback rider in the throes of competition keeps his heels on the shoulders of the horse.
IF YOU GO The Elizabeth Stampede Community Rodeo is May 20-21 at Casey Jones Park, 4189 State Highway 86 in Elizabeth. Admission to all events and parking are free. For information, call 507-273-3525 or visit CommunityRodeo@ElizabethStampede. com. Rodeo. Barrel racing will start at 9 a.m. and Grand Entry will begin at 1 p.m., where contestants will show their mettle in the mini bareback, mini saddle bronc, mini bulls, calf riding and mutton bustin’ competitions. Contestants are judged by two judges, and part of their score is
determined by the behavior of the animal. “How hard it is to ride, how good he bucks. If he just goes out there and runs around that isn’t going to get a very high score,” Martin explained. “For example, bareback and saddle — the rider has to have the spurs by the front of the shoulder, that’s called `being set,’” Martin said. “They have to keep them there until the first jump, and after that they start spurring in rhythm with the horse.” “Every time the back feet of the animal go up, the feet of the rider should be forward. They’re in tune with the horse at that point. If they did it the other way, it’d want to throw them forward,” Martin said.
PHOTOS BY DON MARTIN
Although there is an element of danger involved, “it’s in their blood,” Martin said. Every contestant wears the mandatory helmet and safety vest. For the youths there are more protective people in the arena than with the adult competitions. “So if they get hung up or have a problem, we have two on horseback and several on the ground to get to them quickly,” Martin said. It’s clear that Martin is a forever fan. “My friend’s kid said last weekend, `Getting bucked off hurts but when you win, it don’t hurt so bad!’” This year’s Elizabeth Stampede will be June 2-4.
Livestock show raises scholarship funds for 4-H and FFA members The June 3 event is free and open to the public BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Organizers of the 2017 Douglas County Junior Livestock Show are inviting 4-H members, Future Farmers of America members and the public to attend this year’s event, scheduled for June 3 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 410 Fairgrounds Road. The show serves as a fundraiser for the 4-H Youth Council to generate scholarship money for collegebound 4-H students. Any 4-H or FFA member ages 8 to 18 showing goats,
HOW TO PARTICIPATE For more information on 4-H scholarships, the 4-H council or the livestock show and registration, visit douglascountyextension. org. sheep or cattle may participate in the livestock show. But the show is about more than raising scholarship funds, organizers say. The event is also about tradition and preserving the county’s agricultural roots, said Sue Weinroth, a 4-H club leader in Sedalia who’s helping the Youth Council organize the June show. “For me, it’s just encouraging people to embrace the history of the area,” she said.
Noah VanBibber, who showed livestock as a 4-H youth and is helping the Youth Council organize the show, said it’s also an opportunity for kids to get their animals in the ring and practice before show time during the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in August. “It actually means a lot,” VanBibber said of the show for 4-H and FFA students. “Not only does this help with the scholarships, it also helps with preparation for the show, which you need to do throughout the summer.” FFA and 4-H members can sign up the day of the event, Weinroth said. She estimates nearly 100 kids participated in last year’s show — an all-day event that starts with animal weigh-in at 7 a.m. and runs until the last animal has been shown. “It’s kind of fun to see these kids,
what they do,” she said. Participants, who pay to enter, spend the morning prepping their livestock for the day’s show and have spent long hours and sometimes money raising the animals, Weinroth said. “All the way up until fair, these kids are grooming and maintaining and not only feeding their animals well, but maintaining their body, coat and structure,” VanBibber said. Weinroth also hopes members of the general public will attend, even if they don’t have a 4-H or FFA connection. “I just encourage people to bring especially their young kids down. It’s just an opportunity to see animals, touch animals,” Weinroth said. “It’s just a great way to introduce your kids to farm animals and farm life.”

Resident’s dedication leads to national top triathlete designation Athlete balances work, family and training BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
correspondence. “I know day in and day out how hard Tim works to be at the level he is at with his racing. And to see him out there reaching for his goals at such a high level is really incredible to watch.” To be nationally ranked, Hola had to be a registered member of USA Triathlon and participate in at least three triathlons, three duathlons — a bike and foot race — or two races in any other multisport discipline, according to usatriathlon.org. Among Hola’s recent races are a half-Ironman — a 70.3-mile triathlon — in southern California, which he completed in 4 hours and 26 minutes. In April, he finished the Boston Marathon — 26 miles on foot — in 2 hours and 50 minutes, his best time ever. He will be doing another half-Ironman in Texas this June and plans to compete in local races throughout the summer. Hola was hooked on triathlons after that first race with his dad, who is still racing at 73 years old. To this day, the father and son compete together, talk strategy, cheer each other on. They have race rituals — like visiting rock and roll legend Buddy Holly’s grave when they compete in Texas — and like to discuss the meaning of life when traveling to a race destination. “Doing triathlons together,” Hola’s father, Ken Hola, said in an email, “has done a great job of strengthening the bond between my son and I.”
When he was 20 years old, Tim Hola ran his first triathlon — an endurance race of back-to-back swimming, cycling and running — with his father. More than 20 years later, Hola has competed in about 200 races across the U.S., Japan and Canada. And in 2016 — based on race times and projected best times for his age group — USA Triathlon ranked the Highlands Ranch resident first nationally among 3,450 triathletes ages 40 to 44. “My secret is getting up early and getting it done,” Hola, 42, said. “It’s important to me to be a better person, athlete, husband, father.” A medical sales manager, Hola spends 15 to 20 hours a week exercising. He usually wakes up at 4:30 a.m. and heads to Westridge Recreation Center to swim and lift weights. He then sees his trainer. Sometimes he runs or bikes outdoors. Hola describes his workouts as therapeutic. Training helps him think clearly and reflect on his decisions. “I have a healthy body,” said Hola, “which leads to a healthy mind.” Born and raised in Iowa, Hola and his wife, Nicole, moved to Highlands
Tim Hola finishes an Ironman Triathlon, consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a 26.2-mile run, according to ironman.com.

Close by is the 19.5-mile East-West Regional Trail and Chatfield State Park. Just south is the Backcountry Wilderness Area with 20 miles of natural surface trails for hiking and biking. “That has fostered not only the training but it gives our kids and our family a nice outlet,” said Hola, who
has 10-year-old twin boys. Juggling family, work and triathlon training can be challenging. Competing in races requires time off work, travel and expenses. When he flies, he constantly worries if his bike is safe. But being a triathlete is Hola’s dream, said Nicole Hola. “When I watch Tim race it is very inspiring,” she said over an email

Online students dance night away — just like anyone else Four online schools host ‘virtual’ prom for students from throughout metro Denver BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A common concern about online schools is whether students get the same opportunities to socialize as their peers in traditional ones. But they showed they can have just as much fun when students from four online schools recently enjoyed the time-tested tradition of prom. “It’s something that all high school students look forward to, whether they attend a traditional school or a
virtual school,” Teri Cady, head of school at Destinations Career Academy of Colorado, said in an email. “They make a night of it just like any other high school student.” More than 150 students from areas as diverse as Westminster, Elbert County, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and Northglenn all attended the “Black and Gold Masquerade,” hosted May 5 by Colorado Preparatory Academy, Destinations Career Academy, Pikes Peak Online School and Colorado Digital Board of Cooperative Education Services at the Riverwalk Clubhouse in Littleton. Some students were attending their first dance, but at least two had met before the event. Yadira Velez, 16, of Colorado Springs met her date, Keiren Brown, 17, of Green Valley Ranch, at last year’s event. They connected on Facebook afterward and see each

other in person about once a month. “I asked my friend if I should go up to him and say `hi,’ ” Velez said in a text after the prom. “I felt like I
was never going to see him again, so I went for it… You don’t even know how much I’ve been waiting for prom this year.”

More improvements for Daniels Park coming in August Home to grazing bison herd getting paved road, new trails, more parking and outlook points BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a recent sunny, breezy morning, snowcaps dotted the mountains to the west of the Daniels Park parking and overlook area while bikers and vehicles passed along the park’s nearby muddy gravel road. Showers had rained down the previous morning, leaving puddles along the road and on nearby trails. But rain or shine, Douglas County officials say, Daniels Park — just a few miles outside of Castle Pines — gets lots of visitors. There’s no question why: The park has a lot going for it. And thanks to a nearly $2 million improvement project between Douglas and Denver counties, it will be easier and safer to enjoy. The park boasts spectacular mountain views and historical sites, such as the Tallbull Memorial Grounds and the Kit Carson Memorial, which marks the frontiersman’s last campfire in Colorado. There’s also a grazing bison herd, one of two owned by Denver Parks
and Recreation, and outlooks for visitors to watch the animals. “I’m amazed every time I go up there,” said Sean P. Owens, project manager for the Daniels Park improvements project. “You stand on that hill in awe.” However, Owens says many people, often visiting tourists, don’t respect the park. Traffic also creates a hazard for recreational users who walk along the park’s road where there are no trails. Whether it be for mountain views or nature watching, drivers often park alongside the road, creating another traffic hazard, he said. The park is also a hot spot for mudding, where daredevils run their ATV vehicles through those puddles and wear down the road. Vehicles driving along Daniels Park Road often speed, Owens said, and vandalism is a frequent problem. “Abuse of the park that’s happened over time is really starting to become evident,” Owens said. “The trash. The paint poured on rocks. The campfires down in the scrub oak.” And the fires pose an obvious risk in Colorado’s often-dry weather, Owens said. To correct those problems, Douglas and Denver counties will launch phase two of a park improvement plan, part of a 2008 agreement between the two counties. Although the city and county of Denver owns the park as
Daniels Park improvements will include paving Daniels Park Road and adding a softsurface trail spanning the length of the road. COURTESY IMAGE part of the Denver Mountain Park System, Douglas County owns Daniels Park Road running through it. The first round of work has county approval and begins in August, Owens said. The final phase of improvements, mostly landscaping and additional parking, may come in 2018 after the county’s annual budget is approved. Improvements coming in 2017 include: • Paving Daniels Park Road and moving it slightly to the east. • Building nearly a mile of soft-surface trail to run parallel to the road. • Adding 36 parking spaces in the park, in addition to 40 spaces built in 2015.
The upgraded road will not only be paved but also incorporate curves to slow drivers and a possible speed limit of 30 mph. Castle Pines Mayor Jeffrey Huff said the improvements will make the park more enjoyable for city residents who will benefit from the lower speed and new road design, along with more trail access. “We are fortunate to have such a wonderful park along the western edge of the city and we thank the Douglas County commissioners and the Denver Mountain Parks Department for their efforts in bringing the project to fruition,” Huff said.

Bob Finch, director of natural resources with Denver Parks and Recreation, said the department intends to provide a park ranger for the area to enforce park rules and educate the public. “When you have a nice facility with nice new parking lots and trail amenities, we just want to make sure that we have somebody out there who can manage it,” Finch said. The improvements, and particularly the trail, will also make for a safer environment, he said. Additional outlooks will assist visitors to view the bison away from the road. The two counties are sharing the cost for the project. While Denver may pay for materials in some phases, Douglas County will provide the construction labor. Phase one of the project,
which included new trailheads and connections, began in 2008 and continued through 2014, costing approximately $1.7 million. Phase two is estimated at just under $2 million, Owens said. “We think this is a really important partnership with Douglas County and we’ve been really excited about working so closely with them,” Finch said. “We appreciate the support.” That sunny, breezy day in Daniels Park, some of the bison herd meandered to a grazing patch near the roadside. Bulls and cows munched on grass while calves chased each other around their parents’ legs. True to Owens’ word, travelers along the road stopped their cars on the wet shoulder and climbed over puddles and atop rocks to take pictures of the animals with their phones. Soon, with those new outlooks and trails, they won’t have to.

A trip to state is worth the wait
Rock Canyon’s Jake Hammons, right, throws to first base after getting the tag on Grandview’s Tyson Hayes at second base. The Jaguars defeated Grandview 8-1 in the first game and then took out Heritage in the district final 13-6. PAUL DISALVO
Jaguars no longer overlooked Rock Canyon remains alive in hunt for state baseball title BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rock Canyon was sort of a forgotten, overlooked baseball team in the Continental League as five of the Jaguars’ six losses this season were league setbacks. But the Jaguars will be one of the eight teams that will start play May 19 in the Class 5A double-elimination state tournament. Rock Canyon (16-6) captured the District 4 tournament played at Rock Canyon on May 13 with an 8-1 victory over Grandview and a 13-6 conquest of league opponent
Heritage. “Yeah, maybe we’re a little bit overlooked,” Rock Canyon senior Matt Given said. “That’s the same way it was in 2015 when we won the state championship. We were the underdogs. This is a team that could do it again. We are very talented and very team oriented.” Givin and junior Wyatt Wendell were key players in Rock Canyon’s two wins as they combined to go 9-for-12 at the plate with seven runs batted in. And both were starting pitchers. In the win over Grandview, Givin pitched 5.1 innings, allowed four hits, one unearned run and struck out nine batters in addition to going 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI. Wendell had a single, double and triple in three at-bats and drove in two runs.
Rock Canyon had 16 hits in notching the victory over Heritage. Wendell pitched 3.2 innings, giving up five hits and two runs. He was 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI. Given went 3-for-3 with a solo homer and three RBIs. Michael Keen also had a big game against Heritage going 4-for-4 with three RBIs and Logan O’Neill had two hits and three RBIs. “The last league game (against Highlands Ranch) we had a big comeback win, which carried some momentum. Sometimes people don’t realize that losing is a good lesson,” Jaguars coach Tyler Munro said. “It helps when you get a lead and also helps in our park when you have the wind and it becomes a true pitcher’s park. And we got great defense.”
STANDOUT PERFORMERS Aaron Faragallah, baseball, junior, Castle View: He went 3-for-3 with six RBIs that included a grand slam and a two-run homer in the Sabercats’ 12-9 win over Chaparral on May 8. Jenna Chun, golf, senior, Highlands Ranch: She captured the Class 5A Southern regional title with a 76 on
May 8 at Meadow Hills Golf Course. Sydney Maxson, soccer, senior, Arapahoe: She scored on a secondhalf free kick to lift the Warriors to a 1-0 Class 5A soccer playoff win over ThunderRidge on May 12. Quenton Parr, baseball, senior, Cherry Creek: He pitched a seven-
inning, complete game, three-hit shutout in the Bruins’ 3-0 win over ThunderRidge in the Region 1 championship game on May 13. Hannah Peterson, soccer, junior, Ponderosa: She scored three goals in the Mustangs’ 7-0 win over Pueblo County in a first-round Class 4A soccer playoff game May 10.
STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Hattie Poole wasn’t about to let what she called a “harsh” round of golf and a long weather delay rain on her parade. The Heritage junior still managed to qualify and will be playing in the Class 5A state golf tournament at The Club at Rolling Hills in Golden on May 22-23. She carded a 96 at the Western Regional tournaOVERTIME ment at Fox Hollow in Lakewood on May 8, but tied for the final statequalifying spot with Anna Branscome of Bear Creek. A playoff was set, but severe weather was approaching. Poole and Branscome Jim Benton each made par on the first hole on the Meadow course, but after hitting their tee shots on the second hole, lightning forced the golfers to mark their balls and retreat to the clubhouse. Then rain and hail started, but Poole had her teammates with her and they waited for more than an hour while coaches and Colorado High School Activities Association officials went over options on how to complete the playoff. The decision was made to resume play instead of returning the next morning. A Fox Hollow grounds crew worker helped by clearing hail off the second green and the golfers tied the hole with bogeys. The third hole could not be played because of hail on the fairway so the golfers moved to the par 3 fourth hole, where Poole’s bogey putt won the playoff. “I was pretty exhausted,” Poole said. “I was excited. My teammates came over and gave me a hug. We all celebrated a little bit. I got in the car and my mom and I were just sitting there emotionally drained. “At this point, my main goal at Rolling Hills is to improve my game from how I played at the regional. I had a harsh round. I didn’t play well at all. I was not expected to go to state after that day. So I’m just looking to play better at state.” Hilton strikes back Senior right-handed pitcher Jacob Hilton surrendered a year of varsity baseball when he transferred from Arapahoe to Heritage. He had to play on the Eagles’ junior varsity team last spring, but this year on the varsity he was one of the state’s strikeout leaders as he fanned 67 batters in 48 innings. Hilton transferred to accompany his sister to Heritage. “It was pretty tough,” he said. “Heritage is like family to me so I knew most of the guys. It was tough not being with the team in the playoffs last year.” Taking one for the team If you want to talk about sacrifice, visit with Rock Canyon golfer Brooklyn Murphy. SEE BENTON, P47

Mountain Vista second at state tennis Golden Eagles’ No. 1 doubles team takes title BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
-
Mountain Vista junior Madi Allen returns a serve in the No. 2 singles championship match during the Class 5A state girls tennis championship tournament. Allen took runner-up honors and the Golden Eagles finished second in the team standings at the May 11-13 tournament played at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. TOM MUNDS
Mountain Vista finished second at the May 11-13 Class 5A state girls tennis tournament at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. The team title was still up for grabs after the second day of competition as eventual state champ Cherry Creek had 51 points, Mountain Vista had 45 points and Ponderosa had 36 points. Athletes from all three teams earned spots in the final day’s matches on May 13 to decide first and third places in No. 1, 2 and 3 singles and No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 doubles. Cherry Creek scored more points on the final day of competition and won the title with 61 points, Mountain Vista was second with 52 points and Ponderosa was third with 42 points. The Mountain Vista team of Ashlen Grote and Amanda Pruitt were the Golden Eagles’ state champions at No. 1 doubles. Madi Allen took runner-up honors at No. 2 singles and Casey Zhong finished third at No. 1 singles. “This has been a great year and the most successful girls tennis
season in school history,” Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan said after the team standings had been decided. “We are a fairly young team, with three seniors on the roster who will all be missed and hard to replace. But we expect to have nine returning varsity players so we anticipate a good season next year. This is my fourth year coaching girls tennis and I feel our program has been growing and getting stronger. Last year we were very young and those players came back stronger and more experience, which helped our team have a banner season.” He said the team is strong because of strong interest and participation. “We had 68 girls out for our team this season, which means there is a lot of competition for spots on the varsity roster,” he said. “It seems there is always a player looking to move up on the challenge ladder and that caliber of competition makes all our players better.” Flanigan said most of the athletes play tennis all year. “We have great indoor facilities in Highlands Ranch where the girls can play all year,” he said. “We run a summer program and we try to get all the girls to take part in that, plus tennis is the primary sport for most of our players.”
Arapahoe defeats ThunderRidge to head to quarterfinal match Warriors will play Cherokee Trail on May 17 BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arapahoe’s Sydney Maxson provided both the offensive and defensive punch as the Warriors earned a 1-0 secondround girls soccer playoff win over ThunderRidge on May 12 afternoon at Shea Stadium. Maxson scored on an oddangled free kick in the 57th minute and then the senior center back sparked the Warriors’ defensive effort that stalled the ThunderRidge offense. The win improved Arapahoe’s record to 13-4-0 and propelled the 12th- seeded Warriors into a quarterfinal match May 17 against Centennial League foe Cherokee Trail. ThunderRidge, the Continental League champions and the No. 4 seed in the playoffs,
ended the season with a 13-3-1 record. Maxson’s game-winning goal came from 20 yards out near the left sideline. “I had taken a free kick right before and I was upset that it wasn’t a good free kick,” said Maxson, who has signed to play soccer at Colgate. “I was really focusing on curving the ball so someone could get a head on it and it ended up curving all the way into the goal. “It was a really tough game to defend because they have a really good player up high in Shae (Holmes), and it was tough shutting her down. We all worked together and got a good result.” Holmes, a junior midfielder, was the Continental League’s top scorer with 20 goals and 47 points, but Arapahoe didn’t allow ThunderRidge to have many good scoring opportunities and notched its fifth shutout in the past five games. “We knew defensively as a team that we had to play incredibly tight,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire.
ThunderRidge’s Katherine Stanley, left, and Arapahoe’s Madelyn Matthews nearly collide at the ball. The Warriors took home the 1-0 victory on May 12, eliminating the Grizzlies in 5A playoff action. PAUL DISALVO “ThunderRidge offensively is a wrecking ball. We knew we had to have a game plan and stick to — and that was the entire team not just the defenders. Team defense, that’s where it needs to be. “Holmes is such an incredible player and one of the things we’ve always done, and sometimes it has hurt us, but
we never focus on one player. That’s not to say we weren’t paying attention to her, but the team is the one that took care of that.” ThunderRidge coach Mike Parsons kept encouraging his team to play with a sense of urgency late in the game. The Grizzlies responded but couldn’t score.
“We’ve dominated so much early in games this year and had halftime leads,” said Parsons. “It was different for us and put pressure on us. And, at least initially in the first half and the first part of the second half, we came out tight. I have a young team and with playoff pressure they just weren’t able to find their comfort zone. “Why we didn’t find that urgency early in the game is that the physical stuff is one thing but the mental skills is what a lot of them need to work on.” Parsons praised both Arapahoe and his team. “Arapahoe is a good team,” he added. “They are very strong out of the air and they did beat us to a lot of balls. Kudos to them. “This was the first time in 15 years that we won the Continental League and we beat our rival Mountain Vista. I told the girls you have to focus on that and can’t downplay that just because you didn’t win state. It hurts. I’ve got this euphoria and pain at the same time.”
