grown, obviously in the number of people, but I believe it has developed pretty close to the original development plan. I think we have a very vibrant and energetic community, and I’m happy to live here.

Former Texan is chair of Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors About me I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I grew up in the Dallas, Texas area — I still have a lot of family there. I have a bachelor’s in science from the University of Texas at Dallas.

I’ve been married to my wife, Melanie, for almost 43 years. We have two kids. We’ve lived in the same house in Highlands Ranch for almost 33 years I manage special districts for a living. I started my career 31 years ago and I managed the Highlands Ranch Metro District and Centennial Water and Sanitation. I worked for those organizations for about nine years.

Since then, I’ve managed special districts as a consultant. There are a lot of districts in the state of Colorado and many aren’t large enough to have employees. Those that aren’t contract with a company like mine and we provide management and accounting services.

Jim Worley moved to Highlands Ranch 33 years ago, when the community was just getting started. He has seen it mature into what the original developers had planned.

COURTESY PHOTO work in the banking industry. We always wanted to live in Colorado, so almost 33 years ago we packed up with two young kids and said, we are going to move to Colorado and figure out what to do, and that’s what we did.

I don’t know if I would use the word “change” to describe the community. The word I would use is “matured.”

When we first moved here, there were about 3,615 people and now there are more than 95,000. It has

My role at the metro district My role is one of seven board members.

They have chosen me to be chair, so I get to lead the meetings and do a few extra things. Our job is to give direction to management to follow through on services provided to the community.

I’m looking forward to the services that South Metro Fire and Rescue can provide.

The department has an ISO 1 rating, which is the top rating you can get for a fire organization.

On top of that, they are going to build a brand-new fire station in Highlands Ranch. Another positive is that all of the hard-working firefighters who have served Highlands Ranch will now be absorbed

by South Metro. I really see it as a win-win all around.

Fun fact My wife and I have traveled to Europe a couple of times. We did a riverboat cruise out of Paris for our 40th anniversary.

Centura Health, U.S. Army form hiring partnership Program designed to attract men, women to military service STAFF REPORT

Centura Health and the U.S. Army signed a partnership agreement May 22 as part of the Army’s Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program.

The partnership was designed to help the Army attract men and women who want to serve their country, but also want to plan for their future once their military service is complete.

Through the partnership, Centura Health will serve as a potential employer by providing two guaranteed job interviews and possible employment to the participants.

“Centura Health is excited for the first interview and every one that follows as a result of this partnership with the U.S. Army,” Amy King, Centura Health senior vice president and chief people officer, said in a news release. “The character traits such as respect, integrity, and service that the Army instills in its soldiers align with the unstoppable force of our Centura Health caregivers. We are neighbors serving neighbors on a mission to create flourishing communities and health care that goes beyond just the physical aspects.”

Valor graduates hear calls for service

alor Christian High School graduates were encouraged to follow a righteous path at their May 24 commencement ceremony at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch.

Maia Rocklin gave the valedictorian address and encouraged her fellow graduates to use their gifts to make a positive influence in the community, whether those gifts are in servitude, understanding or in worship to God. “I want you to discover your gifts and thank God for them, and use those gifts,” she said in the address.

Following Rocklin’s speech, four students received honorary awards for their servitude and academic and athletic excellence. Emma Carter and Sara Behm were honored with Valor’s “Least of These” awards.

Caroline Noonan and Blake Stenstrom each received the Valor Eagle award.

John and Sharna Coors delivered the keynote speech and encouraged students to make a decision that the word of God is the standard for which they stand.

John Coors quoted the Gettysburg Address and closed the speech with: “Regardless the cost, Jesus has already won the war for you.”

School-district committee studies capacity issues Solutions could include redrawing boundaries, reallocating programming

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School Board members point to unbalanced enrollment in the district, including issues with overcrowding at some schools and underutilization of others, as the reason for denying a second site for a charter school in recent weeks.

The school board voted unanimously to deny granting Ascent Classical Academy a site in the Meridian Village, which sits between Parker and Lone Tree in unincorporated northern Douglas County, south of East

Lincoln Avenue and west of South Chambers Road.

This fall, the charter school is opening a location in Castle Rock with an enrollment of 500 students in grades K-12.

“When we are sitting here with 12,000 empty seats, it certainly seems kind of weird that we are going to add 750 seats tonight,” school board President David Ray said at an April 17 board meeting. “For us to be adding seats at this moment doesn’t make sense to me.”

Ascent Classical Academy models the curriculum of Golden View Classical Academy in Jefferson County. Both schools use the Barney Charter School Initiative — a project of Hillsdale College, a private, conservative Christian college that accepts no tax-supported funding — which promotes liberal arts and sciences and teaches “moral

character and civic virtue,” according to its website. The Meridian location would have served up to 750 students in grades K-12.

Members of the Long Range Planning Committee, which studies growth and capacity needs in the district, emphasized the growth predicted in existing schools in the district’s east planning area, where the charter’s second location would have been located if it had been approved.

The committee voted 6-6 on whether to make a recommendation to the school board to approve the Meridian site. Six LRPC members thought the site would allow the area to serve more students, according to LRPC Chairman Brad Geiger. The other six were concerned with giving up flexibility of the site, which in the future could be used by a neighborhood school.

“Part of it is philosophical about to what extent do we want to foreclose options,” said Geiger. “Members who objected thought preserving that site for growth was more important than building another school there at this moment.”

Douglas County owns the site, which is being preserved for a school. The site will be given to the school district if it requests to transfer property rights.

Region expected to grow Schools in the Meridian area have an 81 percent utilization rate, according to a presentation at the April 17 board meeting by an LRPC subcommittee. The LRPC is made up of two volunteers from each high school feeder area, two charter school members and two at-large members.

From open prairie to economic driver Centennial Airport’s history ran alongside rise of Denver’s south metro area

which it plays a central role.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of what’s now the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

Here’s a look at the highlights from its beginnings to today.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the story goes, a businessman drove a shiny, black car to his downtown Denver office, and when he walked back to the car that afternoon, he found a large scratch in the door.

Around the early 1960s, that was enough for George MacKenzie Wallace to plan to move his office to a location with more space for parking.

He set out to buy two acres of land in the southeastern part of the Denver metro area, but a reluctant seller wouldn’t break up a 40-acre parcel.

That land sat near what was becoming Interstate 25 (a stretch completed in 1963) and East Belleview Avenue.

With the 38 extra acres, Wallace carried out his vision for a working environment that would eventually become the Denver Tech Center, one of the first suburban-office parks of its kind in the nation.

An aerial view of Centennial Airport at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF DEBORAH GRIGSBY SMITH It wasn’t long before Wallace saw the need for a general-aviation airport to serve the growing area — he helped push for a solution in what would become Centennial Airport.

The general-aviation airport, now one of the nation’s busiest, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, capping off half a century of advancement alongside the south-metro area in

Beginnings in the 1960s • In 1960, the Federal Aviation Administration and Arapahoe County begin planning for a proposed reliever airport to ease congestion at Stapleton International Airport, the former airport that served Denver. The Stapleton area since redeveloped into retail and a residential neighborhood.

• The FAA and Arapahoe County officially announce the proposal for airport development in 1963. Construction begins in 1967 with $1.6 million from the Federal Airport Aid Program for the purchase of 380 acres of land.

• That August, Lou Clinton, of Clinton Aviation, signs a 30-year lease, becoming the airport’s first fixed-base operator. Emily Howell, who would become the first woman captain of a scheduled United States commercial airline, becomes head of Clinton’s flight-training program.

‘Sully’ talks about lessons he ‘dares not forget’ Famed ‘miracle on the Hudson’ pilot brings life lessons to celebration of airport’s 50-year history

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It took a lifetime of education and experience to prepare the pilot on US Airways Flight 1549 to make an emergency landing safely in New York’s Hudson River, as he told it — and he brought those life lessons to a celebration of Centennial Airport’s 50th anniversary at the Denver Tech Center.

“These important civic virtues have just gotten lost in the noise,” said Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, a renowned pilot who rose to prominence as an aviation and safety expert after his famed landing in 2009 that saved 155 lives.

He learned his values, partly, at the United States Air Force Academy, which he attended in the early 1970s.

“We in aviation have learned lessons (that were) paid for in blood, and we dare not forget,” Sullenberger said.

His address headlined the luncheon May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, 4900 S. Syracuse St., Denver. Sullenberger, who flew into the thenArapahoe County Airport a few times during his four years at

the Air Force Academy, talked about the decline of civic values in modern life, the lessons that prepare pilots to avert disaster and even the state of truth in society.

“When we make big decisions, we must make them based on facts, not fears or big lies — even if they’re said loudly,” said Sullenberger, who stressed the importance of learning from experience.

On Jan. 15, 2009, Sullenberger lost thrust in both engines on Flight 1549 and led his crew to safely execute an emergency water landing on the Hudson River. The crisis came to be known as the “miracle on the Hudson” and inspired the 2016 motion picture “Sully,” in which Tom Hanks portrayed Sullenberger.

In the wake of the historic landing, Sullenberger garnered several accolades — becoming an “aviation and safety expert” for CBS News and one of the 2009 TIME 100 most influential people in the world — but he emphasized the efforts of his crew in the event.

“Like much in life, aviation is a team sport, but I’m the one who got all the credit,” Sullen-

Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger speaks at Centennial Airport’s 50th anniversary luncheon May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center hotel at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver. Sullenberger talked about the life lessons that prepared him for the famed “miracle on the Hudson” water landing of US Airways Flight 1549.

ELLIS ARNOLD berger said.

His co-pilot and flight attendants acted instinctually to control the emergency too, he said.

In the “challenge of a lifetime,” which lasted only a handful of minutes, Sullenberger couldn’t rely on training alone — he hadn’t trained for a flock of geese colliding with the plane’s engines at such low altitude.

“I synthesized a lifetime of education and experience and

imposed that paradigm,” Sullenberger said, bringing “order to what could have been chaos.”

He had to rely on instinct to judge that landing on water was the right choice and how to adjust the nose of the plane — a critical, precise task — to avoid hitting the water too dangerously. Sullenberger and his co-pilot knew they did everything they could to try to avert disaster — and it worked.

ABOUT THE AIRPORT

Centennial Airport is a general-aviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercial-airline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix.

It opened May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport and is owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority, a governmental body. It is not located in the city of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the country.

CAPACITY FROM PAGE 5

Members are appointed by the school board and must be residents of Douglas County.

The region is expected to grow as homes continue to be built in the area.

According to Ray, 87 percent utilization of a school is the “standard” rate and 100 percent is the “ideal” rate.

Anything under 65 percent is considered underutilized, according to district staff.

Ray emphasized, “Both overutilized and underutilized schools result in increased cost.”

Some planning areas in the district are experiencing a mix of overcapacity and undercapacity, according to the subcommittee.

Northridge Elementary in Highlands Ranch has 705 students, which puts it over capacity for the 582 students it was intended for — although with mobile units, which serve as additional classrooms, the school’s capacity jumps to 806.

Ponderosa High School in Parker has 1,349 students, leaving it under the capacity of 2,160 students it was built for.

Northridge is at 121 percent capacity, while Ponderosa is at 67 percent.

The data shows a larger issue of inequity that the district is experiencing, the LRPC subcommittee said in its presentation.

Unbalanced enrollment across schools impacts programming — such as band, sports, advanced

placement classes — the ability to hire staff, class sizes, extracurricular activities and the ability to appeal to prospective families, according to the subcommittee.

“What has happened is this,” said Geiger, “over the last two years, the LRPC has become interested and concerned that we have capacity misallocation throughout the district.”

Finances in focus Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight predicts that as Douglas County continues to grow, the school district will need additional schools in the next decade. But, he said, the district’s current problem isn’t capacity, which varies depending on the geographical location of the county and is impacted by trends such as housing prices and demographics.

“I would not say we have a capacity issue. I would say we have a school finance issue,” said Knight. “Our biggest issue is obviously resources and making sure we get dollars for our students.”

The LRPC subcommittee recommends the school board hire an outside expert to study the district’s capacity policies. Board members did not vote on the recommendation at the April 17 meeting and asked for a request for proposal to be sent out.

In its presentation, the subcommittee touched on possible solutions to capacity issues, including redrawing the boundaries of the district’s planning areas to address open enrollment issues and transportation needs, or reallocating certain programs to help undercapacity.

During public comment, some

UMB.com | 303.721.6900

county residents pleaded for the school board to carefully consider approving a new school.

Cindy Barnard emphasized the cost of an empty seat. She has seen a decline in programming since her children were in school. Her daughter, who graduated in 2010, was able to take an advanced placement class with just eight students, she said.

“In the Douglas County system of public schools, there must be equity and we must be able to offer all of our students access to the excellence in choices that some of our students have,” Barnard said during public comment. “Thoughtful boundary realignment and very careful consideration in opening schools only when and where they are needed will be a big step in bringing equity and excellence back to Douglas County School District.”

At the April 17 meeting, Ray reminded the audience that the question was not whether a charter school should be approved.

“The question before us is, is this the right site, is this the right place for a school?” said Ray. “Regardless of if its charter or neighborhood, that is our question tonight.”

Board members raised concerns about Ascent’s enrollment. Intents to enroll came from 181 students who are attending a charter or neighborhood school in the district and 286 students who are attending a charter or neighborhood school outside of the district. A large portion of those are homeschooled, according to representatives from Ascent.

Buildng a school at the Meridian site wouldn’t jeopardize enrollment

in other schools in the area, said Ascent’s director, Derec Schuler.

“We have a very wide draw, we are a niche program. Putting us next to a neighborhood school doesn’t necessarily mean we are going to be taking kids from that area,” he said in a presentation at the April 17 meeting. “We are going to be coming in with our own kids who have already choiced in, whose families know what our unique model is and that’s what they want.”

Students come from other places School board member Anne-Marie Lemieux, who serves on the district’s FIscal Oversight Committee, said 1,900 students in Douglas County are from out of district. And 1,600 of those students attend charter schools, which receive 100 percent of the local mill levy override.

“That means our local taxpayers are paying for kids who don’t live in Douglas County,” Lemeiux said.

She pointed out the other charter and magnet schools in close proximity to the proposed new site for the charter school. SkyView Academy, which also has a classical curriculum, is about seven miles away, west of I-25 in Highlands Ranch.

“In being a choice district, one of the things that comes up is not oversaturating. I’ve seen it happen in Highlands Ranch, where we oversatured and now charters are competing with each other to a detrimental state,” Lemeiux said. “How do we support choice without hurting choice? That’s my fear, if we put this school here, we are going to hurt our choice. We are not helping anybody.”

Fitness center to move into former Ross, Staples building Name to be revealed in the next month

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Residents can expect a new fitness center in the buildings once occupied

by Ross and Staples, near the intersection of South University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway.

The name of the fitness center has not been released due to a pending lease agreement that is expected to be signed in the next month, according to a representative from CBRE Group, a commercial real estate firm listing the property.

The fitness center will occupy a 50,000-square-foot space in the High-

lands Ranch Marketplace shopping center. Surrounding businesses include Good Times Burgers and Frozen Custard, Highlands Ranch Smiles, Dairy Queen and Nicolo’s Chicago Style Pizza.

When word spread that Ross, a popular, discount department store, would be closing in January, residents began posting on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page, speculating what business would take its place. Many were hopeful that it would be Trader Joe’s.

The closest locations of the grocery store chain are in Greenwood Village, on South University and East Orchard Road, and on West Bowles Avenue in south Jefferson County.

For those disappointed to see Ross go, there is another location four miles north at Streets at SouthGlenn, 6737 S. Vine St., Centennial.

New site celebrates vista on High Line Canal Trail Sumac Hill Farm Overlook peers across horse pastures, Rockies

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Standing at Sumac Hill Farm Overlook along the High Line Canal Trail in Centennial, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported either back in time or far away.

The overlook, just north of Goodson Recreation Center and deKoevend Park near South University Boulevard and East Arapahoe Road, gazes down on the rolling hills of the Smedley family’s horse farm. A coalition of local entities secured 10 of the farm’s 12 acres as a conservation easement in 2016, meaning they will stay undeveloped in perpetuity.

The 600-square-foot platform at the overlook, which officially opened to the public on May 16, represents the culmination of the easement efforts, providing a place of rest for trail users to enjoy the vista.

The easement and overlook came to fruition thanks to the efforts of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the City of Centennial, Arapahoe County Open Space, the South Metro Land Conservancy and the Trust for Public Lands. The total cost of the easement was $1.1 million.

Tom Smedley, proprietor of Sumac Hill Farm, passes out samples of the honey produced by his bees on the rolling 12acre plot adjoining the High Line Canal Trail.

The easement and overlook secure a long-term amenity for trail users, said John Ostermiller, the chairman of the South Suburban Board of Directors.

“These acres will forever be preserved, offering residents and visitors who jog, bike, stroll, and ride horses a forever opportunity to view wildlife and reconnect with nature along this beautiful trail,” Ostermiller said.

Sumac Hill Farm dates back to 1947, said Tom Smedley, the farm’s proprietor.

“My father grew up in Denver and always wanted to live in the country,” Smedley said. “He served in World War II, and when he came back he bought this place for $200 an acre …

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT My father had a dream that this would become open space and be preserved for everyone for generations to come. This project was the consummation of his dream.

He loved playing with his horses along the trail, and people would stop and talk to him. He called it an oasis in the middle of the city.”

The Smedleys operate the farm today as a horsemanship school, and also keep bees and sell honey.

Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko called the project a great example of interagency collaboration.

“When we got funding from the county to make things like this happen, one of the first things we discussed is: Where is there open space in the city of Centennial?” Piko said. “There’s not a lot. This is a beautiful experience for residents.”

The overlook and easement are an example of your tax dollars at work, said Josh Tennyson, Arapahoe County’s open spaces grants and acquisitions manager.

Sky Ridge volunteer program empowers teens Students get hands-on experience, possible career insights for medical fields

Volunteers at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Aubrey Stevens, 17, and Eileen Kennedy, 15, spend their Friday evenings manning the front desk, directing foot traffic at the hospital and answering questions.

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many teenagers spend their Friday nights hanging out with friends, watching videos, playing games or strolling the mall. Not Sky Ridge Medical Center student volunteers Sydney Brennan, Eileen Kennedy and Aubrey Stevens. The three spend their Friday nights at the Lone Tree hospital, helping answer visitors’ questions, directing visitors to patient rooms, answering phones and putting charts together to help the night nurses.

Student volunteers in the program, about 90 of them, all have a desire to pursue a career in the medical field, and commit to volunteer weekly throughout their high school career.

Brennan, 16, attends Highlands Ranch High School, and is hoping to go into the field of pediatric cardiology.

“I’ve always really liked kids, and I’m fascinated with the heart,” said Brennan. “When I was in middle school at Cresthill, we had a career fair and I met some nurses. I learned about this program and being here makes me even more certain that I want to go into the field of medicine.”

Brennan spends her Friday evenings helping nurses and doctors on the cardio-neuro floor of Sky Ridge, where she answers the phone, restocks items, and puts charts together.

She also interacts with family members of the patients.

“Sometimes I get to visit with them

in the waiting room,” said Brennan.

“It distracts them from what they’re worrying about and gives them a nice break.”

Volunteers as young as 14 can apply for the program, and according to John Penn, director of volunteers, he makes sure each volunteer gets on a path that interests them.

“In the summer of 2004, I realized we always had an influx of volunteers who just wanted to get their service hours done to graduate, then we had to start all over again with volunteers,” said Penn. “I also noticed students who had an interest in a medical career going out of state to camps or universities. From then on I have worked on recruiting students with an interest in future medical careers, and began creating individual long-term programs for them based on their interest.”

Kennedy, 15, who attends Rock Canyon High School, has been volunteering for about four months, and has had an interest in medicine for as long as she can remember. Like all new volunteers, she spends her Friday nights at the front desk, where she helps direct foot traffic through the hospital, and learns about every department.

“I really like it,” said Kennedy. “I love the hospital setting. There’s a lot of stuff to learn, but I love every minute of it.” Kennedy hopes to become a neonatal intensive care unit doctor or nurse, and will soon be spending more of her time in the NICU. The diversity of medical careers can be overwhelming, and according to Penn, volunteering gives students the chance to see various career paths they may not have been aware of.

“Sometimes they’re thinking health care but don’t have a clear idea,” said Penn. “We can expose them to a variety of things.”

Stevens, 17, who also attends Rock Canyon High School, has been volunteering since January and is more interested in the research side of

Sky Ridge volunteer Sydney Brennan, 16, spends Friday nights helping nurses on the cardio and neuro floor by answering phones, assembling charts and restocking supplies.

“I’m still mastering the front desk,” said Stevens. “I’m more interested in the research aspect, because I love problem solving and helping people.”

Stevens will soon be focusing her volunteer hours in the inpatient laboratory at Sky Ridge, where she’ll serve as an extra set of hands for the department as she shadows pathologists and micro-biologists.

Penn said the program has been incredibly successful, and now has a hard time narrowing down the applications.

“We’ve had close to 800 students come through the program,” said Penn. “Seven of our students have won Boettcher scholarships, we currently have two of our graduates attending medical school, and one student came back and practiced here as a doctor for a while.”

The volunteer program also lets students know if they have what it takes to serve in the medical industry.

“Either you find out you love it, or it’s not for you,” said Penn. “If you love it, being a volunteer will hopefully help them start developing their passion for this, and developing a path for themselves.”

Colorado business groups will urge tax hike for roads next to begin addressing Colorado’s $9 billion transportation backlog.

BY BRIAN EASON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Proposal 1: Sales tax hike What it would do: The hike backed by business groups would raise the state sales tax by just over 6 cents on every $10, from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent. It would generate more than $766 million a year starting in 2019, and authorize the state to issue $6 billion in transportation bonds. The funding would be split, with 45 percent going to state highway projects, 40 percent to local governments and 15 percent to alternate forms of transportation, such as mass transit.

What it would cost: $9.4 billion over 20 years, including interest.

Who supports it: A bipartisan coalition, including the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Colorado Contractors Association and Club 20, an association of counties in Western Colorado. It also has the support of

A coalition of business groups recently announced plans to ask Colorado voters this fall to raise sales taxes to pay for $6 billion in transportation projects.

Their announcement officially puts into motion a campaign that’s been discussed by transportation advocates for more than a year since the state Legislature in 2017 rejected an attempt to send voters a plan to raise sales taxes by a similar amount.

With at least one competing transportation plan expected to appear on the November ballot — and another planned for next year — supporters of the measure face a steep climb to win over Colorado’s tax-averse voters.

Organizers need more than 98,000 signatures from registered voters to place their initiative on the ballot. If it and a competing proposal qualify, voters could have three options this year and

Democrats at the Legislature who say a tax hike is needed to cover Colorado’s transportation needs without cutting funding to schools and other services.

When it would appear on the ballot: November 2018 Proposal 2: ‘Fix Our Damn Roads’ What it would do: The colorfully named “Fix Our Damn Roads” initiative would issue $3.5 billion in transportation bonds without raising taxes.

Instead, the state would have to pay off bonds with existing state revenues.

All of the money would be earmarked for state highway and bridge projects.

Using the money for mass transit is prohibited.

What it would cost: $5.2 billion over 20 years, including interest.

Who supports it: The Independence Institute, a conservative think tank. It’s also backed by many Republicans at the Legislature, who say the state should spend more on roads within its existing

budget.

When it would appear on the ballot: November 2018 Proposal 3: Senate Bill 1 What it would do: The bonding measure referred to voters by the Legislature this year would borrow $2.34 billion for transportation projects. Like the “Fix Our Damn Roads” initiative, it would require the state to pay off the bonds under current tax rates. The bulk of the money would go to state highway projects, with 15 percent set aside for other transportation options, such as mass transit.

What it would cost: $3.25 billion over 20 years, including interest.

Who supports it: The measure won unanimous, bipartisan support from the state Senate and most of the House.

But top lawmakers in both parties say they would prefer one of the other measures to pass in 2018 instead of the legislative compromise.

Sherman is credited with the “selfie.” Not by anyone else yet. Just by me.

If you really wanted to get tight about it, Albrecht Dürer was just as responsible, and so was Rembrandt van Rijn. They both documented themselves in countless self-portraits long before there were Nikons and Hasselblads. And camera phones.

Architect Frank Gehry said artists need to find a niche. He found his, and Sherman found hers when she was an undergraduate at Buffalo State. I have tried and tried to find one, but time is running out, and I’ve conceded (mostly). But I am forever in awe of those — especially my contemporaries — who found theirs.

ere’s a pop quiz: Who is Cindy Sherman?

Her picture should be on a postage stamp. The picture would be one she had taken herself.

See that photograph running with this column? It’s one of only nine known photographs of me. I like it like that. Why do I need photographs of myself ? They have one in obits, Jennifer has one that was taken before my face turned into a pickle, and the DMV took one that permits me to drive and to board an airplane.

Sufficient, but out of touch with everyone else.

Cindy Sherman (born 1954) studied photography at Buffalo State College. Does that help?

Without cheating.

You can cheat in art. You can appeal to our most fundamental fascinations, without really contributing anything that is truly nutritive: i.e., those interminable “Star Wars” films.

Sherman started taking photographs of herself when she was an undergraduate, and she hasn’t stopped yet.

I admit I once had a crush on Sherman. She has California-girl looks, but you have to work to find it, because she never looks exactly the same twice. She documents herself with appearance-altering costumes, makeup and prosthetics.

For better or worse, the world is full of Cindy Shermans. At its worst, there have been SEE SMITH, P15

M LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for Diane Holbert Why I will proudly cast my vote for Diane Holbert to be our county commissioner: Having spent nearly 30 years personally involved in Douglas County politics, I’ve observed first-hand the integrity and dedication to service, displayed by our politicians. My biggest take-away from those 30 years is that I have found that there is huge difference in those simply “holding a title” and those who actually “serve the people.” Too often, even well intentioned people are running to simply hold a title.

Diane Holbert has consistently demonstrated decisions that serve

the people by being responsible and forward thinking. Over the past eight years, Diane has positively positioned and protected our assets, eliminated the short-term rental tax, redefined transparency by making records more easily accessible, and managed to cut the budget every year as our Douglas County treasurer.

As county commissioner, Diane will to continue bring the same conservative values, and commitment to serve the people, that is an integral part of her character. Diane understands that water is critical to the future of our community. She is devoted to a strong SEE LETTERS, P15

Princeton City School District, Ohio’s most diverse, boasts the highest four-year and five-year graduation rates of African Americans, one of the highest in the country.

Back-to-back weekend events coming to Castle Rock Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival and Ducky Derby kick off June

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two major events will take place in Castle Rock in early June — the Ducky Derby and the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival.

Elephant Rock draws cycling enthusiasts from throughout the region. The Ducky Derby raises funds for local charities.

Here are some things to know before each event kicks off.

Elephant Rock The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival began in 1987 as a small event — roughly 1,200 cyclists participated in the first race — but has grown into one that draws cyclists from throughout the region.

Last year, 5,500 riders participated, according to the event website.

The 31st annual event will kick off early on Saturday, June 2 with a “Sunrise to Sunset” mountain bike race. Registration and packet pickup begins at noon at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road, and runs through 7 p.m., as does camping and RV check-in.

Co-owner and managing partner Chandler Smith said this year they are focusing on creating a weekendlong event with activities spanning both Saturday and Sunday.

“Come out and make a weekend of it in Castle Rock,” he said.

Multiple activities will fill the first afternoon of the festival, including a bike expo, riding clinics, live music, BMX demonstrations, a bike rodeo and a fashion show. The day will conclude with a Bike-In Movie showing of “Jumanji” in downtown Castle Rock.

On Sunday, riders hit the pavement. Registration and packet pickup begins at 5 a.m. By 5:30 a.m. the first race kicks off. Cyclists can participate in their choice of a 100-mile, 62-mile, 40-mile and 27-mile race. At 9 a.m., an 8-mile family ride begins.

Music, food and more BMX demonstrations will follow the races until 4:30 p.m. when all courses close.

Smith called the “most notable new component” to the festival the incorporation of the Primal Colorado Bike Expo, previously held at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

It features 80 exhibits from industry leaders, manufacturers, advocacy groups and cycling clubs.

Smith said there is also an improved lunch program for riders. That includes vegetarian and gluten-free meals, according to the website, from Denver and local eateries Park Burger, Birdcall, Fly-

ing Horse Catering and Biju’s Little Curry Shop.

“We want this to be a festival that is welcoming of all people, age levels, skill levels and abilities,” Smith said. “It’s more than a bike tour. It’s an experience.”

More information about registration, individual races and festival activities is available at elephantrockride.com.

Ducky Derby This year’s Ducky Derby event will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 9 in Festival Park, Second and Wilcox streets.

Culture is illuminated after dark Zoo, museums offer evening events for adults

isit Denver’s cultural hot spots like the Denver Zoo or Museum of Nature & Science during a summer day and you’ll see children of all ages running around everywhere.

While it’s always fun to experience Denver’s many cultural amenities as a family, just as many adults want to explore on their own. Maybe, even, while having a drink or two.

“Adults want the opportunity to learn, too,” said Jessa Phillips, the Museum of Nature & Science’s adult programs manager. “Because of that, the museum offers experiences that offer an adult night out.”

When facilities like the zoo, museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and more shut down after regular hours, that doesn’t mean they’re closed. Instead, they offer specialty programming that provides more depth, entertainment and a different kind of community.

“This is a different angle of the zoo than most people see when we’re open and full of crowds,” said Jake Kubié, communications manager with the Denver Zoological Foundation. “We want to make SEE EVENTS, P25

The issues of migration, ethnicity, culture and spirituality are the focal point of the show “Lost in Place,” which is running for one night only at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd.

COMING “About 10 years ATTRACTIONS ago my co-director/ husband Jim LaVita and I wanted to do an original evening of dance/theater that spoke to the issue of immigration,” said Katie Elliott. “As we investigated the material, the theme grew into Clarke Reader a larger idea that revolved around the `loss of a sense of place.’”

The evening is split into three sections — a geographical loss as one moves from point A to B, a temporal loss of place as one moves from childhood to adulthood, and a spiritual loss of sense of place as one moves from life to death.

This production is particularly timely for several reasons — the first because of the importance of these issues in the current political climate, and because LaVita passed away in October As choreographer, Elliott uses movement that focuses on the individual identity of each performer/ character. Using the structure of a Social Security number as a framework, Elliott offers prompts to create these identities by using positive and negative personality traits and individual story expressed through gesture.

“Audiences will be taken on a journey. Because we are a modern/contemporary company we express ideas through a narrative theme rather than a story,” Elliott said. “So, our audience will experience humorous, dramatic, and poignant pieces that they can connect to through personal attachment.”

Block party with a wild side returning to Main Street

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It ain’t your grandpa’s block party.

Forget the tiki torches and tinfoilcovered potluck fare: Littleton’s annual Block Party features circus acts and more gourmet grub and live music than you can shake a stick at.

The 14th annual shindig will be held on Main Street in downtown Littleton from 6-11 p.m. on June 9, featuring a menagerie of wild performers.

Jugglers, fire eaters and showgirls leading animatronic dinosaurs on leashes will roam the streets, said Greg Reinke, one of the event’s key organizers and president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants association.

The event’s two fireworks shows — scheduled for dusk and 10:45 p.m.

— will be bigger than ever this year, and new acts include a tightrope walker and choreographed slackline walkers, Reinke said.

A half-dozen bands will perform on stages scattered along Main Street: Psycho X, Dixie Leadfoot & the Chrome Struts, Twenty Hands High, Ken K, the Dave Frisk Band and the 37th Street Blues Band.

“Saying an event has ‘something for everyone’ is kind of a cliché, but that’s what we’re shooting for,” Reinke said. “Even though there’s alcohol, you don’t just sit and drink.

There’s too much to walk around

IF YOU GO When: 6-11 p.m., June 9 Where: Historic Downtown Littleton Main Street How much: Admission is free, but food and drink vendors only accept tickets, which cost $1 each.

Call 303-795-5006 or visit a participating downtown merchant to get $25 in tickets for $20. and see. We’ve got stuff for kids, but we’ve got the edgy side too.”

The performance artists of the Creepy Freaky Alley certainly bring the edgy factor. Audiences can watch performers pound nails into their faces and swallow swords, said Sven Jorgenson, the longtime manager of the Boulder Circus Center, who will be bringing some of his favorite acts.

“Most festivals don’t have nearly this magnitude of circus acts going on,” Jorgenson said. “I’m serious when I say this is about my favorite street party in Colorado.”

One performer, who calls himself the Enigma, said his act isn’t for the faint of heart.

“I put hooks through my face to lift up a chainsaw, then I take that same chainsaw, put an apple in my mouth, put a blindfold on, and carve the apple in half,” Enigma said. “It’s insanity’s greatest hits. You can’t miss me — I’m covered head to toe in a jigsaw puzzle tattoo.”

Littleton’s Block Party on Main Street on June 9 will feature a variety of bands and circus acts.

DAVID GILBERT Enigma will be joined by friends including one named Slim the Living Cyborg, Jorgenson said, and the Stupendous John Stork, who stacks chairs sky-high — then does a handstand on top.

Reinke is confident that attendees will find something up their alley, so to speak.

“If you don’t like the band that’s performing, just wander down the street,” Reinke said. “There’s plenty more to choose from.”

Gates Hall, University of Denver, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., Denver. Tickets: $30, newmantix.com. 303-871-7720.

Plein Air Festival The Fourth Annual Littleton Plein Air Festival runs May 30-June 1, presented by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton. A show will open at 5-8 p.m. June 1. It will be preceded by three busy days of painting in and around Littleton.

Watch for painters at work on Main Street, at Aspen Grove, at the Littleton Museum, at Hudson Gardens and all around town. Interaction with them is encouraged — stop and chat! Paintings will be framed and hung for exhibit in the Depot Art Gallery. Juror Lorenzo Chavez, of Parker, will pick “Best in Show” and other categories. Depotartgallery. org.

Native American artist has major Denver exhibit Jeffrey Gibson, born in Colorado, lives and works in New York

Jeffrey Gibson’s sculpture, “Like a Hammer” shows influences of Native American art and pop music.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Like a Hammer” at the Denver Art Museum is the first exhibition in a major museum for artist Jeffrey Gibson (Mississipi Band Choctaw/ Cherokee). The exhibition just opened on the first floor of the Hamilton Building and runs through Aug. 12, with a mix of traditional design and contemporary presence.

Gibson was born in Colorado Springs in 1972, lives and works in New York, teaches at Bard College and incorporates his heritage into distinctive, contemporary works, including abstract sculptures, paintings and prints. Materials include rawhide, beads, sterling silver, wool blankets, metal cones, beads, fringe and sinew, as well as paint.

Introductory comments at a press preview told of Gibson’s extreme unhappiness with his art in the middle of the first decade of this century, which led him to razor paintings from their frame, head for a coin laundry and wash them in hot water and detergent.

Fragments of those paintings appear in textile works in “Like a Hammer,” looking pale and stressed, compared to the vibrant newer coloration exhibited today. Washing away failure …

Music has been very important for Gibson. Lines from popular songs are incorporated into his works and back-

IF YOU GO Jeffrey Gibson’s “Like a Hammer” exhibition will be at the Denver Art Museum through Aug. 12. It is being shown on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, between 12th and 13th avenues on the east side of Bannock Street in downtown Denver. The exhibit is included with regular admission. Denverartmuseum.org.

ground music plays from a song list he provided. “It adds an extra sensory dimension,” curator John Lukavic commented. “Gibson seamlessly blends indigenous aesthetics and contemporary methods …

His work offers or visitors an experience that doesn’t exist elsewhere and challenges the generic categories of art, presenting a new way of conceptualizing what people see and experience.”

“I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” commands a long look: a female figure in dance attire, with a ceramic head and legs made from tipi poles.

Haunting, it and other similar figures “speak of effigy pots

from Gibson’s ChoctawCherokee background,” Lukavic commented. “He draws from the past, creates futuristic work …” Gibson on several occasions revealed his displeasure with the art world’s tendency to consider Native American art as craft or decorative arts.

“Gibson did not feel he had a way to express himself visually in ways that people could connect with,” said Lukavic.

“Gibson blends indigenous aesthetics and contemporary methods … His work offers our visitors an experience that doesn’t exist elsewhere and challenges the generic categories of art, presenting a new

way of conceptualizing what people see and experience.”

Gibson pointed out greenish patches of those earlier paintings in several new pieces, adding that this was the first time he’d seen his work together.

Gibson was an artist-in-residence at DAM in 2014 and was allowed access to the archives to research, assisting with a “challenge for artists who are not central.” It offered new connections for Gibson.

(A video made during his residency is shown in the last gallery in this exhibit. Allow time to watch it.)

“I realized that art history is not inclusive of native artists,” he said as he talked about his punching-bag series — some covered with Osage-type beadwork and named “Everlast.” The series resulted from a recommendation that he work out frustration by boxing. The image suggests white power, violence — and peacefulness.

Another work, “I Am Woman,” refers to huge numbers of missing native, indigenous women.

“My use of color is free, exuberant … a choice of rawhide versus beaded offers a lens of indigenous perspective that changes how we read them … These are not specific to any particular tribe,” Gibson said.

The figures are “an artifact of the future,” Lukavic added,

like Kachina figures or those guarding the tombs in the past.

Gibson also pointed out a large, predominantly black and white, rectangular piece that reads: “American History is longer — larger — more beautiful …” quoting the black, openly gay American writer James Baldwin, who chose to live in Europe — and has been an influence. “There is a widespread message that voices are not always heard.”

With the appearance of a large work in the DAM collection — a travois used to carry goods — Lukavic said, “it’s closer to (Claus) Oldenburg than traditional indigenous art.”

In the fourth portion of the exhibit, the video shows people responding to items in the museum’s collection rooms … a Navajo man talked to a wooden Navajo weaving comb, as though to his grandmother: “I miss you grandma … are the sheep still there? I cherish the memory of you.”

In the Kiowa language, objects were asked their permission to use them in the exhibit … Patterns in dancer’s costumes are referenced in Gibson’s works. For example, a woman in a jingle dress steps off an elevator and dances down the hall …

“I think my work offers a counter-vision to other things happening in the world,” Gibson said.

At Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton, the six-piece band, led by amazing pianist/music director Donna Debreceni, jumps right into the title song of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” as lights come up and the talented singing/ dancing cast of five appears with one of jazz pianist Fats Waller’s bestknown songs.

The prolific Waller’s many, many lively, often humorous, songs are part of our national cultural fabric and readers may have the experience we did at looking up a song list — wow!

Didn’t realize he wrote that one! The performance is a tribute to the musicians of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s who filled theaters and nightclubs like the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom with music during the Harlem Renaissance — music that has mostly stayed in the limelight across the nation.

The show is especially a tribute to the brilliant, funny stride pianist, Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller, who started playing the piano at 6 years old and soon learned to play violin, organ and string bass. He played at

The set has a bandstand onstage filled by six musicians, tied to the dance floor/performance area in front of it with steps the actors flowed back and forth on … The musical is simply a revue of songs by the versatile composer Director Bob Wells has cast five strong singer/actors, who can solo or blend voices with one or more of the others — and in a wide range of styles. And the sound of all five combined is especially smooth and fine.

Waller is the pioneer of lively stride piano and his ongoing gifts to this country’s jazz repertoire that make almost anyone want to dance. (Some audience members danced out after the performance.)

One could see the top of Debreceni’s blond head bouncing as she delivered on the especially lively songs — which are interspersed with slow, sentimental numbers like

“Honeysuckle Rose” …

O Leonard E. Barrett Jr. and Mary Louise Lee are skilled, veteran Den- b ver area singers/actors, who have not c t appeared at Town Hall previously, but worked together especially well. a Radjulari is new to the area, but has r years of national and international a experience as a jazz/soul vocalist and actress — a welcome addition to the p lively, local theater community. Ran- A dy Chalmers, in his fifth production t at Town Hall, is especially known in f the area for his charming dancing/ singing role as Seaweed J. Stubbs in n t “Hairspray” and he recently appeared at the Aurora Fox in “Passing w g Strange.” Krisangela Washington m has appeared at Town Hall in “Violet” and “Legally Blonde” and has performed at the Aurora Fox, Denver t Center and Arvada Center.

This revue, conceived by Richard s Maltby Jr. and Murray Horwitz and R o originally created and directed by Maltby, won a Tony Award for Best Musical and is just a happy, well-orga- t nized doorway to a delightful evening r s of musical theater.

Barrett’s sassy delivery of “Tain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do” and the A a company’s joyous “The Joint is Jumpin’” contrast with Radjulari and u Barrett’s soft “Two Sleepy People” … A Barrett’s “Your Feet’s Too Big” had l the audience laughing as did Chalm- f ers and Barrett in “Fat and Greasy.” i Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller (1904t 1943) was a serious jazz artist, who must have written and/or performed m almost constantly — night and day o — and unfortunately wore himself out early.

AIRPORT FROM PAGE 6

• The Arapahoe County Airport — Centennial Airport’s original name — officially opens May 12, 1968. Local newspapers report more than 20,000 in attendance. Aerobatic pilot Dick Rutt cut the first ceremonial ribbon with the wing tip of his plane. At the time, there are 98 aircraft based at the airport.

• In 1969, aircraft-parking areas and connecting taxiways expand. The airport acquires an additional 404 acres of land and begins adding a crosswind runway. At the time, 165 aircraft are based at the airport.

Clippings from newspapers show Arapahoe County Commissioners Howard E. Abbott, left, standing with John V. Christensen and John J. Nicholl as they cut the ribbon dedicating, at the time, a new half-mile-long extension to the main runway at then-Arapahoe County Airport. The bottom clipping shows a photo of the airport on its opening day, May 12, 1968.

busiest airport in the nation among all airports, including general aviation and commercial, in 1985.

Tumult in the 1990s • Challenges with residential encroachment, as well as arguments over commercial-airline service proposed by Texas entrepreneur John Andrews, would reach both the Colorado and U.S. supreme courts.

The airport’s annual federal funding would be suspended after the board refused to lift its ban on scheduledpassenger service — in other words, commercial-airline flights, like those on a major airline, such as Southwest Airlines.

or

Forward in the 2000s • The airport finds relief through a deal with the federal government that restores annual federal funding for maintenance projects.

• Robert Olislagers, the airport’s current executive director, is hired.

• “By far, my favorite moment at Centennial Airport was in 2002 when our communities got together and, with the support of the Colorado congressional delegation led by then U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, we managed to carve out legislation that settled the airline issue here at the airport,” Olislagers said. “It was a huge win for the airport and our communities. Our civic leaders, citizens and the airport got on the same page to do something extraordinary that had never been done before or since.

It goes to the power of presenting a united front.”

Changes in the 1980s • In 1983, the control tower becomes a 24-hour facility. Planning for “Project 85,” the airport’s long-range development plan, begins.

• The airport officially changes its name in 1984 to Centennial Airport, a name adopted by the Airport Authority to reflect growth, and as a hat tip to Colorado’s nickname, the Centennial state.

• Douglas County receives representation on the Airport Authority Board in the form of three newly added members in 1984.

• A formal dedication for a new control tower and administration complex is held in 1985.

On the rise in the 1970s • The airport’s first firehouse is built, and the crosswind runway is completed in September 1970. In 1971, the airport acquires more land for a 1,000-foot extension of its current runway, building a parallel runway and adding a parallel taxiway.

• Construction begins on the airport’s first permanent tower in 1972.

At this point, 226 aircraft are based there. A dedication ceremony is held for the new tower in 1973.

• Wallace is appointed to head the new Arapahoe County Airport Executive Management Committee, which was in charge of airport operations, general management and development of additional facilities, in 1973.

• The Columbine Airport, located in the Littleton area, closes in July 1973.

• The air-traffic control tower is selected as the FAA Rocky Mountain Region Terminal Air Traffic Facility of the Year in 1974.

• The Denver Tech Center, located to the northwest, adds more office, residential, retail, hotels and infrastructure throughout the decade.

• The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is created during a public hearing held June 9, 1975, under the Public Airport Authority Act, making the airport a separate legal entity. Arapahoe County transferred the title to the airport land and improvements to that new body.

• Wallace formally resigns as director of the airport’s Executive Management Committee in 1979.

In the aftermath, Sullenberger heard from colleagues, who weren’t surprised by the successful landing.

“Because of the way they saw me living my life before,” Sullenberger said, they had confidence in him to execute such a feat. His reputation was built day by day, and “in every encounter with a person, there is opportunity,” he added.

Personal accountability, Sullenberger said, is “part and parcel” of the aviation field. Former pilots, Arapahoe County and City of Centennial officials, and hundreds of others attended the event.

Centennial Airport’s director also thanked personnel from Denver International Airport, or “the other airport,” he said, to laughs from the audience.

The director, Robert Olislagers, announced Centennial Airport will add a new administrative building called The Hangar, which will also function as an aviation-community center with features like open houses with flight

schools. The facility is expected to be completed in late 2019, he said.

Olislagers pointed out the Centennial Airport Foundation’s support to local STEM education and programs, particularly with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace. All proceeds from ticket sales to the May 25 luncheon will go toward funding future scholarships.

Centennial’s mayor and members of its city council attended too. Before the event began, Councilmember Ron Weidmann called the airport “a jewel that needs to be protected.”

Said Mayor Stephanie Piko: “We all recognize the importance of Centennial Airport to our economy and the region.”

On the more personal side, Sullenberger zeroed in on the character he built during a life of aviation. One of his role models, he said, “didn’t need a poster on the wall or a T-shirt emblazoned with a slogan” to show who he was.

Sullenberger said a time comes when people ask themselves if they lived up to their values.

“Did you speak up when it mattered?”

Sullenberger said. “I hope your answer will be yes.”

the zoo more accessible for adults and show that we are a place people can learn, explore and even have a date night.”

When it comes to after-hours activities, these facilities’ events mainly fall into two categories — series and one-offs.

The Museum of Nature & Science has a monthly Science Lounge series specifically for those who are 21 years old and older, featuring rotating topics and special drinks on the third Thursday of every month. Likewise, the zoo hosts the Watering Hole, an adult lecture series that features a unique theme, light appetizers and a cash bar.

The Museum of Contemporary Art has several after-hour programs during the summer, including the Three Things, Any Three Things series, which is an experiment in performance, lecture and music. There is

also B-Side Music Fridays, a rooftop summer music series focused on presenting the best emerging Denver bands.

Finally, the museum works with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to host Mixed Taste, which pairs two speakers, giving presentations on completely unrelated subjects, followed by questions from the audience on both topics at the same time.

“These after-hours events allow the museum to better integrate into people’s everyday life,” said Clayton Kenney, director of experience and strategy with the MCA. “They also help make MCA Denver a social gathering place, and not just a white box with objects on the walls.”

Then there are the special events that visitors have just one opportunity to participate in.

Such events include Do At The Zoo, which will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 21, which allows attendees the chance to sample dishes from 70 of the city’s best restaurants and purveyors of the local craft beer, wine and spirits. Tickets include an open

“We have tasting stations all over the zoo, so people can explore while they’re eating,” said Kubié. “This is a chance to engage with people on a different level. You can have a night out with dinner and get to see what the animals are like in the evenings.

It’s the best of both worlds.”

The History Colorado Center is also getting in on the fun, hosting “Collecting America’s Passion” from 7 to 8 p.m. on July 16. The evening will explore the history and legacy of baseball and share stories behind some of the artifacts in the new Play Ball! exhibit.

And the Museum of Nature & Science has a changing line-up of after-hours programs that includes everything from an evening with astronaut Kjell Lindgren and audiencedriven tours through space at the planetarium.

“The museum offers a lot for adults who want to get out,” Phillips said.

“We’re a place where adults of all ages can explore.”

Board members of the Debbie Jackson and Darrell Pridemore Scholarship Foundation award senior Jillian Laplante with a $4,000 scholarship for overcoming hardships in her life.

PHOTO COURTESY OF AL PRIDEMORE joined forces to create the Debbie Jackson and Darrell Pridemore Scholarship Foundation, which recognizes students with annual scholarships.

Debbie’s sister, Joanna Gezon, has known the Pridemore family for years, and said joining forces is a great way to keep both memories alive.

“Debbie was just a really good-hearted person, and a strong fighter,” said

Gezon, president of the foundation.

“The Pridemore brothers have always been a supporter of our foundation prior to Darrell passing. Because of the challenges my sister and Darrell faced throughout their lives, we choose students who have overcome challenges themselves.”

Gezon said they receive dozens of essays applying for the scholarship

Sixteen years ago, Bunny and Wayne Jackson laid their daughter Debbie, 24, to rest, after a courageous battle with cancer. The couple created the Debbie Jackson Memorial Scholarship Foundation, and since their daughter’s death, have bestowed scholarship money to four students in the Douglas County School District each year.

Some of the biggest supporters of their efforts were the Pridemore brothers — Darrell, Vince, Al and Dwight.

In 2016, the Pridemore brothers laid their brother Darrell to rest, after he too succumbed to the devastating disease. The brothers own and operate Pride Auto Care Shops in the south metro area, and Darrell, a Parker resident, was well known in the community.

The tragic passings created an opportunity that will allow both of their legacies to live on. The two families

H each year, and it’s difficult to narrow them down to four.

“We’ve had students who have come back from personal injuries, some whose best friends have committed suicide, dealt with alcoholism or drug addiction in their family,” said Gezon.

L “I cry every time we have to review the essays.”

Mountain Vista senior Jillian Laplante, and Douglas County High School seniors Barbara Edwards and Kelsie Muscat were this year’s recipients. After Darrell’s death, board members unanimously agreed that his daughter Mallory Pridemore, was P deserving of the scholarship in 2016, and extended it for four years.

Al Pridemore said teaming up with the Jacksons has been an incredible experience, and recognizes the irony of the two families coming together.

“Scott Jackson was a good customer P of ours, and he and I and Darrell be- A came good buddies,” said Pridemore.

“We sponsored their golf tournament when his sister passed away, so it was a natural fit when he approached us about combining resources.”

The foundation raises money for scholarships through the annual charity golf tournament, held at the Plum Creek Golf Club in Castle Rock.

E-sports proposal could see kids get inside and play

championship game.

“We did everything a baseball team could do to get here,” Quintana said.

“This was a pretty talented team. That Arapahoe loss was bad timing, but obviously it could have been worse timing to get that first loss. We got humbled a little bit and it fired the team up. We didn’t want to be here (championship game) just to be here.

We want to be here to win. You get a piece of humble pie and everybody says you are not the favorite.”

t has almost become run-of-the-mill these days to tune into the news on television or car radio to hear about some decision that leaves you shaking your head.

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently made news with an announcement that I am having OVERTIME trouble accepting and that has me wallowing around trying to see both sides of the subject.

The NFHS and NFHS Network have entered into a partnership with PlayVS to start e-sports competition in high Jim Benton schools.

Starting this fall, PlayVS will introduce e-sports to high school and state associations with an initial rollout in at least 15 states. After regular-season competition, state championship games will be played before a live audience.

E-sports or electronic sports is a form of competition using video games played on computers, video game consoles and even some arcade machines.

In the NFHS message, it was pointed out that e-sports is a way for students who haven’t been involved in a sport or activity to become involved. And the costs to implement e-sports are minimal compared to starting more traditional sports.

That is a plus for e-sports competition, but I have a big problem with youngsters already glued to devices and playing video games. This plays right into their hands, and I am talking from experience of trying to get my grandsons to take a break before starting another game.

Selection of the right games for high school e-sports competition is critical.

Colorado High School Activities Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green says CHSAA is investigating e-sports competition.

“E-sports is gaining traction across the nation,” she said. “Nineteen states will either conduct or pilot an event next year. Colorado has over 22,000 high school students participating. We are only in the research and learning phase at this time. Current data is reporting that over 200 collegiate institutions are offering full and partial scholarships for student participants.

The games will be aligned with mission/vision of educationally based activities.”

Mountain Vista captures baseball crown Golden Eagles finish season with just one loss on their record

Mountain Vista’s Zach Paschke (3) gets off the throw to 1B after forcing out Heritage’s Derek Davis (5) at 2B. Mountain Vista ended up on top 7-2 after winning the earlier elimination round vs. Mountain Range 14-4 Sunday at All City Field in Denver.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista was determined to prove that one loss does not define a season.

The Golden Eagles suffered their first loss of the season in an 8-1 setback to Arapahoe during the first game of the Class 5A double-elimination state tournament on May 21.

So Vista was forced to battle through the loser’s bracket but won the state championship on May 27 at All-City Stadium in Denver with a 7-2 victory over Heritage.

Mountain Vista, top-ranked most of the season and top-seeded in the state tournament, managed only three hits in the loss to Arapahoe, but coach Ron Quintana didn’t panic.

“We had never been there before, we didn’t know what to do,” Quintana said. “So instead of getting on them

and yelling at them we actually went bowling to get our minds idle and then we got back to baseball. I bowled a 157 and 97. I got tired.”

He never tired of watching his team strike back and win five straight games after the Arapahoe loss en route to the first state baseball championship for the school.

The Golden Eagles beat Rocky Mountain, 2-1, edged Pine Creek, 5-4, blanked Heritage, 5-0, routed Mountain Range, 14-4, in the first game on May 27, before toppling the Eagles for the third time this season in the

CHAMPS FROM PAGE 31

The title game matched Mountain Vista’s pitching standout, senior lefthander Jack Liffrig, against Heritage senior ace Riley Egloff.

Egloff lasted four innings, giving up seven hits and seven runs as Vista scored six times in fourth inning.

First baseman Jon Zakhem had three hits and two runs batted in to spark the Golden Eagles’ offense in the title game, while Drew Stahl had a pair of singles and two RBIs. Liffrig allowed five hits and surrendered one earned run as Vista completed the season with a 27-1 record.

“Liffrig is tough and once you get behind, it is tough,” said first-season Heritage coach Ty Munro, who guided Rock Canyon to the 2015 state baseball title. “All the wheels fell off for us in one inning. The fact of the matter is they beat us three times. It’s really hard not to argue that they were the best team in the state. They were No.1 and we were No. 2 and it came down to that, and the better team won.”

Liffrig induced 12 ground-ball outs, and three of the Eagles’ hits were ground balls just out of the reach of Vista infielders.

“I just handled it like a regular start,” said Liffrig. “I had to get 21 outs. I had the best defense in the state and now I have the best team in the state. I just let them do the work and made it easy on myself.

“We came out against Arapahoe and that wasn’t the team we’ve been all

year. We had a little fire after the Arapahoe loss. We never like to lose but that put a little fire under us. We’ve been to the final four before but that’s not cool anymore. We thought this was the best chance to get us a ring.”

Zakhem easily described the feelings after the Arapahoe setback but couldn’t find words to depict the emotions after accepting the state title trophy.

“The loss really humbled us and gave us a slap in the face,” he said. “It really made us angry and made us hungry to come back for victory. We knew what we could do because we’ve done it before. We knew we could come back and win the rest of the games and we did.

“You can’t describe the feeling of winning a state championship. It’s just amazing to win it all.”

Heritage (19-7) went into action on May 26 against Mountain Vista as the only undefeated team in the doubleelimination tournament. It assured the Eagles of playing in the championship game on May 27 no matter what the outcome of the game against Vista.

The Eagles saved their top pitchers and Vista blanked Heritage, 5-0, behind the five-hit shutout pitching of Sam Ireland. The senior worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the shutout.

“He’s been our guy,” Quintana said of Ireland. “He’s been that way for us at the plate and on the mound.”

Zakhem’s solo homer in the fourth, a two-run double in the three-run sixth inning by Clay Burke and an RBI single

by Zakhem in the seventh provided the offensive punch for Vista, which edged Heritage 8-7 in eight innings in a Continental League regular-season game.

Valor loses to Windsor in state soccer finale Eagles coach praises team for strong performance against top-seeded Wizards

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There is a pretty convincing reason why Alexandria Daws was one of the captains on the Valor Christian girls soccer team.

First of all, Daws is one of only four seniors on the 22-player Eagles varsity squad and more significant is the fact she sacrificed for the team.

Daws is a goalkeeper who divided time this season as a midfielder and wound up tied for the team lead in goals scored.

In the May 23 Class 4A state championship game against Windsor at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Daws was the keeper in the first half and moved into the field for the final 40 minutes to score the Eagles’ only goal in a 4-1 loss to the Wizards.

It was the fourth loss for Valor in a 4A state championship game in the past 10 seasons. The Eagles won the championship in 2011.

Top-seeded Windsor finished the season unbeaten with a 19-0-1 record

while second-seeded Valor wound up with a 12-4-3 mark.

“It’s never easy to get to the championship game and it’s never easy to win,” explained Valor coach Brian Schultz. “I’ve never been more proud of a second-place trophy. These girls were unbelievable this year.

“To get to the championship this year is hard to put into words. We graduated nine girls and lost six others but the girls just rallied. I wish we had played better against Windsor but credit goes to Windsor. They put on an incredible performance on the biggest stage.”

Schultz also used “incredible” to describe what Daws meant to the team.

She logged 640 minutes as a keeper, made 46 saves and had a 1.250 goals against average. And she tied for the team lead with senior captain Nicole Wright. Each scored eight goals.

“Alex is incredibly selfless,” Schultz said.”We knew she had great determination this year. We had great goalies on the team, more than just her. She gave up goaltending because she knew we needed help scoring goals and you saw the kind of goals she can score in the second half.

“She’s been doing that all year for us. She was our starring goalkeeper.

She and Kenzie (MacKenzie Egan) split time last year and we planned to do that against this year, but Alex started scoring goals for us so we put her up top.”

Windsor’s Alyssa Lobato, right, and Valor Christian’s Alexandra Dawes collide trying to get position on the loose soccer ball. Dawes had the lone gaol for the Eagles but the Wizards ended up on top 4-1 in the state championship on May 23 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

Both runners were timed in 38.01.

“It was kind of like one of those things out of a TV show,” said Palazzo. “A tie for first place, it’s just crazy.”

Wieland used the same terminology.

“I knew I had him the entire race but I think he beat me over the last hurdle,” he said. “So I was kind of expecting to see myself in second but to see it was a tie, that was crazy.”

Palazzo said the result of the race wasn’t totally unexpected.

“We knew it was going to be close but it was closer than either of us expected,” he said.

“It is rare that the electronic finish can’t distinguish a solid placement,” said CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green. “The reveal of the picture showed the runners in a dead heat, truly a photo finish.”

NCAA champion Wake Forest junior Jennifer Kupcho, a graduate of Westminster’s Jefferson Academy, won the NCAA

women’s Division I championship, which was held May 18-21 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Kupcho had a 1-under-par 71 to wrap up the title on the final day after rounds of 65, 74 and 70 on the first three days.
