A reminder to be smart in water usage

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With summer in full swing and temperatures reaching the 90s, Centennial Water and Sanitation District encourages residents to be mindful of their water usage.

“If they use more, it costs more,” said Rick McCloud, water resources manager of the district. “We want people to be aware of how much water they are using.”

Centennial Water initiated a water budget rate structure for residents in 2003 with two components: a fixed water service availability fee and a variable water consumption rate. The fixed fee helps ensure revenue stability for the water district and the consumption fee uses a four-tier rate based on a percentage of water budget assigned to each customer, according to Centennial Water’s 2016 water efficiency

plan.

Water budgets are assigned based on lot size and household occupancy. If a customer goes over his or her water budget, he or she will have to pay a fee listed on their water bill.

To avoid paying more, Centennial Water encourages residents to engage in eco-friendly practices, such as xeriscaping, a gardening technique that uses drought-tolerant annuals, perennials, shrubs and grasses. The Highlands Ranch Community Association also promotes the trend and lists a variety of xeric plants on its webpage, at hrcaonline.org/property-owners/residents/going-green/xeriscaping.

In the spring, Centennial Water partnered with Center ReSource Conservation, a nonprofit based in Boulder, to offer low-cost Gardens in Box, which include a kit with 14 to 30 xeric plants and a comprehensive plant and care

guide. Now sold out, Garden in a Box will be offered again at a discounted rate in the fall.

Kari Larese, community relations coordinator of Highlands Ranch Metro District, purchased her first Garden in a Box this year. She found the detailed instructions helpful.

“I don’t have a green thumb,” said Larese, a Highlands Ranch resident.

Residents may also save water by participating in incentives, such as a rain sensor rebate, in which customers are reimbursed $25 for purchasing a sensor that notifies sprinklers to shut off when it rains a certain amount.

More information about the program is available at centennialwater.org/water-conservation/ incentive-programs/.

McCloud encourages residents to manually turn sprinklers on and off because of Colorado’s indecisive weather patterns.

being with the kids. There is always something new.

It’s pretty tiring but it’s worth it. I was exhausted at the end of the day but also so happy. It’s fun to work with these kids, see their progress and cheer them on. Our two main jobs are safety and motivation. It’s really fun to be able to see them get on their bikes and ride by themselves. At the end of the week, they do a victory lap.

Student, volunteer About me I was born in Centennial and moved to Highlands Ranch when I was 10 years old. I will be a senior at Highlands Ranch High School this fall.

I love music — I’m in the marching band at school. I also love to quilt and cross-stitch. My mom is a sewer and she crossstitched when she was younger.

One of my friends at church taught me to quilt.

I have an older sister and two little brothers. We are adopting two kittens when they are big enough.

Opioid misuse is at an all-time high and doctors are part of the problem — and, hopefully, the solution.

That’s according to those participating in a new program in Colorado aimed at stopping opioid abuse.

“Medicine as a whole is starting to look at the mistakes of our past — to look at the fact that we have been over-prescribing these medications,” said Dr. Don Stader, an emergency physician at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. “A clinician’s desire is to do well by our patients.

We never want to see our patients suffer if we can help it, but now we are seeing that (opioids) are a shortterm solution with lots of long-term, adverse effects.”

Stader, chair of the American College of Emergency Physicians opioid task force, is part of a state pilot program started by the American Hospital Association that seeks to combat the way pain is treated with opioids in hospitals, especially in emergency rooms.

Eight hospitals, including Swedish and Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, and three free-standing emergency departments across Colorado are participating.

The program’s goal is to lower the number of opioids prescribed at the pilot locations by 15 percent.

“We are on the leading edge in creating this program in Colorado,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, Barkin chairman of emergency medicine at Sky Ridge Medical Center. “A study like this has not been this widespread anywhere in the country.”

Alternative treatments Opioids are synthetic or partially synthetic manufactured drugs that mimic the properties of opiates, such as OxyContin and Vicodin. Opiates are drugs directly derived from the poppy plant, such as morphine and codeine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention counted 15,000 overdose deaths from prescribed opioids in 2015. Stader believes today’s opioid problem started 20 years ago when there was a rise in opioid-prescribing patterns. Opioids are prescribed four times more often today than they were in 1999.

“Opioids over the last 20 years have been used for more and more minor conditions,” Stader said.

“People over the last 20 years have been getting Percocet for ankle sprains. We never used to use opioids for these conditions in the past.”

Stader and Swedish Medical Center pharmacist Rachael Duncan created a program called ALTO, or

WHO’S PARTICIPATING? Hospitals: • Swedish Medical Center, Englewood • Sky Ridge Medical Center, Lone Tree • Boulder Community Health, Boulder • Gunnison Valley Health, Gunnison • Medical Center of the Rockies, Loveland • Poudre Valley Hospital, Fort Collins • Sedgwick County Health Center, Julesburg • Yampa Valley Medical Center, Steamboat Springs Free-standing ER centers: • BCH Community Medical Center Emergency Room, Boulder • UCHealth-Greeley Emergency & Surgery Center, Greeley • UCHealth Emergency Room-Harmony, Fort Collins Alternatives to Opiates. This program created medication guidelines that pilot clinicians will use to treat specific types of pain in place of opioids.

“We are looking to understand if we can prove the accuracy of alternatives to opioids,” said Diane MacKay, clinical manager for the Colorado Hospital Association.

The Colorado Hospital Association is hoping the pilot will expand out of Colorado.

“This is about what we can do, not just in the state of Colorado but across the nation, to take responsibility for this epidemic and to offer a solution,” MacKay said. “We want to get doctors and nurses really excited about this.”

An important approach to the future treatment of pain, Stader said, is how those in the medical field look at pain. The goal is not to immediately eliminate pain, but instead to manage pain so people are comfortable enough to function in their daily lives.

“Pain is sometimes appropriate and people may need to weather it for a bit,” Stader said.

‘A revolution’ in pain control Training, which started in the spring, is a vital part of the pilot program. Stader has created podcasts and videos, and conducts onsite training.

“We will communicate about our strategies as well as make sure we all understand what we are doing,” Barkin said. “That trickles up into the entire hospital. It is key for there to be education surrounding this effort. If it is isolated, then we will never achieve the success that we are going for.”

The doctors involved in the pilot are passionate about reversing the opioid prescription trend to better serve their patients.

“What we really want to do is create a revolution in how we control pain,” Stader said. “This is a crisis that medicine has created and a crisis that medicine has to solve.”

Commmissioners deny Thomas’ sales tax proposal Initiative sought to shift money from justice center to roads

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commissioners swore they’d stay committed to finding the money to widen Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument, but ultimately the board voted down a controversial proposal by Commissioner Lora Thomas to shift sales tax dollars from the county justice center to roads and bridges.

“That is one thing I do not want to compromise — is public safety,” board Chairman Roger Partridge said before the June 14 vote.

Beginning in her campaign for commissioner, Thomas proposed moving some tax dollars currently allocated toward the justice center to help pay for county road projects — and the widening the I-25 Gap or Castle Rockto-Monument stretch, a project led by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“I think that public safety is going to be enhanced south of Castle Rock on Interstate 25,” she said of her vision.

“I believe that accidents and injuries are going to be reduced.”

Commissioners listened to three hours of presentations from Lora Thomas and administration within the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on June 13 as the board considered Thomas’ proposal to shift some sales tax dollars from the the justice center to roads and transportation.

JESSICA GIBBS Thomas formally presented her plan to the board of commissioners for the first time at a special business meeting that stretched over two evenings from June 13 to June 14. Commissioners listened to impassioned arguments for and against the proposal, including from sheriff ’s deputies and victims of car crashes.

Proposal would pay only for roads Touting the proposal as a way to avoid new or higher taxes, Thomas had recommended sending a ballot question to the voters in November.

But the plan was met with fierce opposition from Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and other top-ranking

officials in the department, who maintained they needed the money for capital projects in the next two to three years.

“I don’t think a lot of people understand the magnitude of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and what we serve,” Spurlock said. “I urge you right now…don’t put that on the ballot because it’s inappropriate for the people of Douglas County.”

The county’s 1 percent sales tax is split between roads, the justice center and open space. Roads receive .40, the justice center .43 and open space .17.

The justice center’s fund was first approved in 1995 to build a new county justice center and extended in 2007

for continued operation, maintenance and capital needs of the justice center and related facilities.

It has since paid for jail expansions, communication towers, substations and other projects related to law enforcement and the criminal justice system in Douglas County.

Thomas envisioned taking .23 of the justice center fund and placing it into a pot for roads and transportation. Thomas’ proposed fund would sunset in 2035, she said, but garner an estimated $366 million for her cause by that time.

“To pay for solely roads. Nothing else. Roads,” Thomas said at the initial meeting on June 13.

Her main mission was the I-25 gap, a 17-mile stretch of road between Castle Rock and Monument considered a public safety hazard and a deterrent to economic growth by law enforcement and county officials.

While the Colorado Department of Transportation seeks hundreds of millions of dollars to fund a widening project on the road, Thomas said Douglas County could produce some of those dollars by approving her tax initiative.

The county also has a lengthy list of roads projects that she included in the proposal.

Car show heats up Highlands Ranch Thousands of spectators attend annual event

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Seventeen years ago, George Racz started the Hot Rodders to defy the image of Highlands Ranch as a place of SUVs and minivans. The club now has about 60 members ages 40s to 60s from across south metro Denver who meet regularly over one shared interest — their beloved classic cars.

“We are trying to promote the car hobby for younger generations,” Racz, 53, said.

“A lot of people have classic and vintage automobiles.”

Racz and other Hot Rodders spent June 17 at the 17th annual Classic Car Show, a production of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Groove Auto, Cherry Hills Community Church and the car club. Under a cloud-covered sky, thousands of guests perused rows of glistening cars that filled the parking lot of Cherry Hills Community Church, off Fairview Parkway and Grace Boulevard. A mix of classic rock and pop, country and today’s hits belted from a DJ booth.

Cars were of every year, make, model and color — from a 1949 Mercury, resting inches off the ground, painted black and embossed with purple, orange and yellow flames, to a 2008 Corvette decorated bright blue with a single white stripe.

Among the HRCA’s largest events, the car show has come a long way in its 17 years of existence. So much that the Hot Rodders organized an additional car show at Mike Ward Maserati, 1850 Lucent Court, on the third Saturday of every month through September, and a 40-car cruise down Highlands Ranch Parkway on the fourth Saturday of the month.

More than a car club, the Hot Rodders is a family.

“That’s the theme,” said Ron Latine, president of the club. “We are trying to do more and more and it’s working.”

The club has grown from 35 to 60 members in recent years. Events, like the classic car show, are a way for

members to come together and showcase their prized possessions for the community.

Cathy Gunderson, of Littleton, stood behind her two British cars: a jet-black taxicab with an orange light on top and an olive green convertible sports car. She and her husband have been collecting classic cars for more than 50 years.

They first picked up the passion in college.

“To us, that is a piece of history,” Gunderson said, pointing to the sports car, made by MG, a British sports car manufacturer of the 1920s. “MG was a leader in sports cars.”

George Husk, of Parker, played with model cars as a kid and his interest continued into his older years. Sitting in a fold-up chair next to his 1952 bright red, two-door sedan, Husk praised the camaraderie of the car club.

“It’s a labor of love,” he said.

The Gundersons stand behind their 1936 MG PB, a sports car that originated in London. “To us, that’s a piece of history,” said Cathy Gunderson, left.

Q&A with Kevin Leung Candidate for Douglas County Board of Education in District E

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kevin Leung came to the United States from Hong Kong in 1988.

He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Utah and then his master’s degree in computer science from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Leung has lived in Douglas County since 1991. He is married with three daughters. Two have graduated from Douglas County schools and his youngest is a student at Rocky Heights Middle School in Lone Tree.

In the early 1990s, Leung, 51, worked as a U.S. Army civilian contractor who developed deployment-related software for the first Gulf War. Then he worked for aviation company Jeppesen as one of its global IT managers from 1997-2005.

In 2005, he and his wife Shirley decided to start their own business. They bought Magic Rabbit Leung Car Wash in Highlands Ranch in 2005 and have since added two more locations, one in Parker and one in Aurora.

Leung previously ran for the Douglas County School District Board of Education in 2009, but was defeated

by Dan Gerken.

Leung will be running for the District E seat, which encompasses

Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. The seat is currently occupied by Steven Peck, who was selected by the board to replace Doug Benevento, who decided not to complete his term.

Why did you decide to run?

I’ve always been passionate about education. I ran in 2009, but after that I continued my involvement in the district, serving on the district advisory committee. I want to make sure that students in Colorado, especially in the place where I have lived for 26 years, get a good education.

I came to this country as a very poor student. I lived in a very poor environment, (but) because of the opportunity this country gave me, because of the education I got from this country, it made me what I am. My children and my family have been well

taken care of and I think I need to give back to the community.

What are the most important issues facing the school district?

The reason I moved to Douglas County in 1991 was because of the schools. It was my number one priority. We used to have the top CDE (Colorado Department of Education) rating, Accredited with Distinction.

We lost that. We used to be much higher than Cherry Creek and now Cherry Creek is catching up. We are only average now. Douglas County should not be average. We should always be in the top five, top 10 at the minimum. If not, I feel like we are doing the students a disservice.

The second thing I want to focus on is the retention of the best teachers SEE LEUNG, P40

Highlands Ranch boy identified in death at Hanging Lake

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Garfield County Coroner’s Office has identified a boy who died while hiking at Hanging Lake on June 12 as Noah Ragon, an 8-year-old from Highlands Ranch.

Ragon was hiking with his parents and sibling at the scenic waterfall hike just outside of Glenwood Springs when he slipped, fell and struck his head on a rock, a media release from coroner Robert Glassmire said. Witnesses initiated CPR, which members of the Glenwood Springs Fire Department continued.

The coroner determined the cause of death as blunt force injury to the head and the manner accidental. Glassmire, who has worked for the county for 16 years, has never before seen a death at Hanging Lake, he wrote in an email correspondence.

In a GoFundMe page created by Mountain Vista High School Coun- Ragon selor Wendy Strait to help cover medical, funeral and counseling expenses, Ragon is described as a sweet soul who was easy to love.

Created on June 14, the page, at gofundme.com/noahragon, raised nearly $20,000 in one day out of a goal of $30,000.

“While there is nothing that can bring back this sweet soul nor replace his spirit we are all speechless and looking for a way to support this family,” Strait wrote. “May we all live in the love that he gave all of us.”

JUSTICE FROM PAGE 5

Public comment spans two days The initial meeting on June 13 lasted more than five hours, including three hours of presentations from Thomas and the sheriff ’s department, followed by more than two hours of public comment.

By 10 p.m., about half a dozen people raised their hands in hopes to speak yet that night to the board, which had planned to end the meeting by that time. The meeting was continued for the following evening.

Most on June 13 opposed Thomas’ recommendation.

Night two saw another 2 1/2 hours of public comment in which many speakers still opposed Thomas’ recommendation but more supported putting it on the ballot than in the previous night.

Commissioners debated the issue until nearly 10 p.m. when Partridge

and Commissioner David Weaver voted to deny the proposal. Thomas voted to support it. Weaver said the funding of transportation issues and that of law enforcement needs were both critical to the county.

“I’ll be honest with you — I am so torn,” he said before explaining he’d vote against the proposal unless it was amended so as not to touch the .13 before it sunsets.

Partridge said he was inspired by the passionate pleas he’d heard during public comment to help improve I-25.

But Thomas’ proposal fell short, said Partridge, who believes the county has flexibility in its general fund to assist the I-25 project. It is an option that avoids taking funds from law enforcement and public safety needs, he said.

“That’s what I offer, that we have other alternatives already,” Partridge said.

Over the span of both nights, emotions ran high as residents from Douglas County and some from its

southern neighbor, El Paso County, shared personal stories or connections to each side of the issue.

Sheriff ’s deputies and parents of officers injured on duty all spoke on behalf of leaving the tax as it is, as well as citizens who prioritize public safety.

Likewise, those plagued by I-25 traffic south of Castle Rock spoke, including residents who’d been affected by traffic accidents in the area, congestion or long commute times.

Some called for voters to decide the issue in November. The county had grown by more than 100,000 registered voters since the 2007 extension and those new voters deserved a say, Thomas’ supporters said.

As of June 1, the county had 236,635 registered voters. In the November 2007 election, there were fewer than 111,000 registered voters.

Commissioners commit to finding solution Still, a majority said the sheriff ’s office had proven it was a good steward of the justice center fund

and had further capital needs for the money. Before the .13 for capital projects sunsets, Spurlock said he hopes to pursue projects such as an emergency management operation center.

Other residents simply called for commissioners to find a solution that fixed roads.

Maybe money would come from law enforcement, maybe not. Regardless, they asked for the community to come together to find an answer.

And after hours of deliberation, it was to that idea all commissioners promised to stay true.

“I’m telling you I will stay committed to that,” Partridge said of pursuing I-25 funding. “No doubt.”

Following the vote, Thomas remained hopeful in the board’s ability to deliver.

“I’m really pleased that my fellow commissioners have committed to get this solved,” she said. “We’ll start working together to see what other opportunities we have.”

iCan Bike Camp works, coordinator says Weeklong camp teaches kids with special needs how to ride bikes

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Calvin Alexander, a 10-year-old with special needs, spent 75 minutes a day for one week riding an adaptive bike with a long baking-roller type mechanism on the back. He hoped to soon be able to ride his own blue bike at home.

“I like to pedal really fast,” Alexander said, wearing a green helmet and a blue T-shirt and shorts, standing next to his mother, Charity, who is a volunteer.

Alexander was one of 35 campers in this year’s iCan Bike Camp, a program hosted by Highlands Ranch Community Association Therapeutic Recreation that teaches kids with special needs how to ride bicycles. Seventy-three volunteers assisted campers the week of June 12-16.

Seven kids at a time wheeled around the gymnasium of Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 S. University Blvd., with two or three volunteers in tow. Smiles, laughs and a sense of determination filled the room. As the week progresses, the baking-roller type week on the back of the bike gets smaller and smaller with the goal of

The camp started in 2009 and now has a wait list.

“It’s a lot of work,” said Summer Aden, therapeutic recreation coordinator, “but it works.”

The program has an 80 percent success rate of kids who learn to ride bikes by themselves, said Aden, add-

ing that the accomplishment is a right of passage.

Oftentimes, learning to ride a bike opens up many doors, including a sense of independence and a willingness to learn other activities.

Jamie Warner, an occupational therapy assistant at Children’s Hospital Colorado who volunteers at the camp, hopes the program someday accommodates more campers. Right now, the gym allows for seven campers

per session with five sessions per day.

Once an employee of the therapeutic recreation program, Warner also hopes more funding becomes available: the recreation program enhances the lives of kids with special needs through several activities, including sports teams, art classes, dances and seasonal camps.

“It gives them an opportunity to do something most kids can naturally do,” Warner said.

VOICES

You’ve got to hand it to avocados, although you really shouldn’t

QUIET DESPERATION

H

ere’s a pop quiz. What fleshy fruit rich in healthy fats is sending more and more of its fans to the emergency room?

Here’s a hint. You probably think it’s a vegetable.

Here’s another hint. It’s not a tomato, but now and then they can be seen hanging out with each other.

They’re sometimes called “alligator pears.”

The most common variety was developed by a mail carrier in La Habra, California.

This should give it away. His name was Rudolph Hass.

The fruit itself is not dangerous. I have injured myself on coconut shells, and I have hurt

myself trying to open prickly pineapples.

No, this one is on us.

And the injury that results has a name. It’s called “avocado hand.”

The ones at my grocery store generally are as firm as billiard balls. I let them mature before I try to slice them.

Some of us, however, are impatient, and slice away, first at the outer skin, then through the soft flesh of the avocado, then through the soft flesh of the hand.

Experts recommend slicing an avocado on a cutting board. Who does that? Maybe after you or I have severed a nerve or a tendon, we will.

Hass had seen a magazine article that showed dollar bills hanging from an avocado

tree. In 1925, he bought some existing varieties and began to graft. He patented his mother tree in 1935 (it died in 2002).

Hass was to receive 25 percent of the proceeds, but the patent was abused over and over, and Hass made less than $5,000 in his lifetime.

Growing up in the Midwest, I’d see a green avocado once in a blue moon. I wasn’t particularly interested in the fleshy fruit. I was, however, very interested in the pit.

I think you know why.

You can grow an avocado tree from an avocado pit.

on’t I know you?”

Isn’t that a question many of us have either asked of someone or someone has asked us that very same question? I think it is a pretty common occurrence, WINNING actually. Having WORDS spent time at many conferences and business functions as well as out and about in restaurants and social settings, I overhear and observe that very same quesMichael Norton tion happening all around me.

It’s that instinctive feeling, maybe somewhere deep in our memory that we have actually met the person before, or we have run into their look-alike or doppelganger at some point in our lives, or perhaps they have run across us at some other time and place.

Now this is a very good thing when someone associates meeting us with a good memory or an honorable action. Something like, “Hey, don’t I know you? Aren’t you that guy who I saw delivering food and clothing to the homeless shelter?” or “Don’t I know

you? Weren’t you the woman who helped out that family in the grocery store parking lot as that young mom struggled with her groceries and her children?”

“Don’t I know you?”

Well maybe you have seen me at my best and you think you know me. But if I was at my worst, you would probably remember me too. That might sound like, “Hey, I remember you, you were that jerk who cut me off at the intersection this morning.” Or, “Don’t I know you? Aren’t you the same person I heard yelling and screaming at your child in the mall yesterday?”

“Don’t I know you?”

Momentary observations or connections never really allow someone to know who we truly are deep inside. However, our actions and words certainly can influence someone’s first impression of us, can’t they? I mean, we try not to be judgmental, at least most of us do. But when we see something really powerful or moving, we can’t help but judge the action, the event, the outcome, or the person. And we have to remember that people are fairly consistent and predictable.

Preserving local community banks is goal of Choice Act

W

hen I drive around the smaller towns of the congressional district that I represent, one of the things I like to spot is what I call GUEST “staple businessCOLUMN es.” These are often “mom and pop” small businesses that have been around for decades and which you can find sprinkled all across America.

Whether it’s a local pharmacy that has been filling preMike Coffman scriptions for generations, a family-run dry cleaner, or even a small salon or barber shop, what is never missing from view are local community banks.

Your local community bank, much like local community banks all across

the nation, play a significant role in a community’s economic development.

It’s the place where small businesses turn to for financing, where families often turn for consumer loans, and where individual financial needs are addressed in a personal and unique manner — rather than in a large corporate one-size-fits-all banking institution. While the days of closing a loan with a simple handshake and a mutual understanding may be gone, these institutions often better reflect the communities they do business in, not only because they want the repeat business, but because they are an active part of their communities and often are more invested at the local level than are large financial institutions.

If you think you have seen less and less of these community banks over the last few years, it’s no coincidence, so have I. Since the passing of Dodd-Frank in 2010, a bill which was intended to promote financial stability

Just like McDonald’s, or Starbucks, or Nike and other big brand names, we carry with us our own brand too.

When people see the Nike “Swoosh” they immediately think, “Just Do It.” When people say to us, “Don’t I know you?” what should our brand say about us? What should someone remember about us that made our encounter so memorable? Shouldn’t it be something powerful, positive, respectable, honorable, good, or kind?

There aren’t any good avocado jokes either.

No one well-known is associated with avocados, like Popeye is with spinach, and Ronald Reagan is with jelly beans.

Of those, Basil Rathbone is my favorite. Rathbone made twelve feature films portraying Sherlock Holmes, and no one will ever do it better. His look, his voice, his arrogance, his pretentious observations.

Arthur Conan Doyle wrote four novels and over fifty short stories that featured Sherlock Holmes, and never mentioned the word “avocado” in a single one of them.

and consumer protections after the 2008 financial crisis, small community banks have been under a regulatory siege that has caused many to either close their doors or forced to merge into larger banks — ironically making big banks even bigger or “too big to fail.” While the intentions of this legislation may have been initially positive, it has resulted in over 22,000 pages of mind-numbing regulations that all financial entities, regardless of size, must abide by. Community banks and many credit unions don’t have the capacity to hire all of the staff needed to comply with all of these layers of complex regulations. They have had to either shift staff to fulfill compliance requirements or eliminated some service products — such as mortgages, lines of credit and even some types of small business loans. This, of course, is contrary to what we as consumers would like to see happen and why action was needed to repeal and replace

this deeply flawed law.

So, with my support, the House of Representatives passed the Choice Act in hopes of not only bringing more accountability and transparency to our financial sector but to also help these community banks do business in a manner that reflects the best interest of the our local communities where they do business. By eliminating or streamlining onerous regulations that are currently in place that stifle lending while at the same time guaranteeing that taxpayers will never be on the hook for another bank “bailout,” this bill will help stop the regulatory destruction of community banks — and yes, keep these local community banks open for business.

Northridge rec center gets $3.7 million facelift Facility will remain open during construction, scheduled to finish in November

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Over the next six months, the community’s oldest recreation center will be revamped into a sleek, modern facility.

“These improvements will ensure that we can continue to deliver a firstclass experience to Highlands Ranch residents,” said Highlands Ranch Community Association board director Brock Norris of the $3.7 million renovation project for Northridge Recreation Center.

Northridge, which sits along South Broadway near Plaza Drive, opened in 1982, the first of the community’s four recreation facilities. Since then, it has been expanded to 62,600 square feet, with the addition of a tennis pavilion, diving pool, multiple workout areas and more, according to Highlands Ranch Community Association’s website.

The recent renovation has been in the making for two years with the vision of transforming Northridge from an old and outdated facility to a new, vibrant and inviting place for members, said Ken Joseph, the HRCA’s operations and programs director.

The project includes expanding the entrance, lobby, offices and cardio exercise area; raising ceilings and improving lighting, flooring and finishes.

New features include a conference room, employee break room, workroom, hot yoga studio, martial arts studio and golf simulator. The existing fitness studio and new conference room will have a large screen monitor with updated visual and audio capabilities.

A drop-off area will be constructed outside a new entrance on the south side of the building. Fresh, colorful landscaping will bring to life the exterior of the rec center.

“The renovation includes transforming the oldest, outdated parts of the facility into modern, welcoming, more open areas,” Joseph said in an email correspondence.

Construction began June 5 and is expected to finish by the end of November. Most of the center’s facilities are open during construction, including the gym, running track, locker rooms, indoor and outdoor lap pools, tennis pavilion and outdoor tennis courts.

The tot pool and nursery will remain closed.

Guests are being redirected from the west entrance and parking lot— which are closed during construction— to the south entrance and parking lot.

The new entrance is located through the cabana adjacent to the outdoor lap pool.

For updates on Northridge construction, visit hrcaonline.org.

Highlands Ranch Community Association board director Jim Allen takes a swing at a railing inside Northridge Recreation Center on June 8. The rec center is being renovated over the next six months, but the facility will remain open.

Aerospace collaboration launched in south metro area Collaboration within the aerospace industry could launch Colorado’s already booming space economy into new heights, and a new startup is setting the platform for liftoff.

NovaSpace officially launched on June 8 with a panel of experts talking about the future of the aerospace industry. The event was located at the Innovation Pavilion, 9200 E. Mineral Ave. in Centennial, and was live streamed on the NovaSpace Facebook page.

“Space is so important to not just the Colorado economy but our global economy,” said Jay Lindell, aerospace and defense industry champion for the Colorado Office of Economic Development

and International Trade. “It is so important to have this organization here.”

The mission of NovaSpace is to facilitate an “explosion of ideas” by providing the community and platform essential for collaboration and growth, according to a news release. This “ecosystem for entrepreneurs” is designed to accelerate Colorado’s space industry into a global hub.

“With all this construction and change in the industry and the fact that Colorado is such a booming state as far as space assets are concerned, I think NovaSpace was a good idea,” said Jameel Barkat, managing partner at NovaSpace. “It really brings the community together and puts Colorado on the national and global stage as far as space is concerned.”

Colorado’s “space cluster” comprises more than 400 aerospace businesses and 50,000 employees, according to Barkat. The aerospace industry in the state generates an annual payroll of more than $3 billion, according to the Colorado Space Coalition, a group of industry leaders.

“We are here to connect industry stakeholders and to help navigate the industry to the new environment,” said Amaan Khan, government relations and legal affairs associate at NovaSpace. “It is really about building a network and creating collaboration.”

NovaSpace is a part of Centennial’s Innovation Pavilion, which markets itself as a company where “productive collisions lead to creative solutions.” Startups and wellestablished companies alike can join forces in a collabora-

Anyone who uses a navigation app or checks the weather has a connection to the space industry, Barkat said.

It is an accelerating industry, especially now that costs to launch satellites have been significantly reduced and satellites are becoming much smaller, Barkat said.

Colorado ranks No. 5 for states with the highest concentration of jobs in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But Barkat said the public has yet to recognize the significance of the industry in the state.

“There has not been sufficient collaboration between stakeholders to really make (Colorado) a force multiplier and to make aerospace more visible to the outside world,” Barkat said.

The season of

outdoor concerts The Colorado Symphony performs at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock, which city officials describe as a mini Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

ecruit friends and family. Throw on a T-shirt, shorts and sandals. Grab a bite to eat and take a seat on the grass under the warm summer sun. It’s the season of outdoor music concerts, and there is no shortage in the Denver metro area.

“I just think it’s great to sit outside and be able to relax in comfortable clothes,” said Philip Sneed, executive director of Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which hosts Summer Stage, a music series featuring a mix of legacy rock bands and today’s popular tunes. “It’s a

great, casual way to enjoy music.”

And research shows that many Coloradans like music. The National Endowment for the Arts in a 2015 study found about 44 percent of residents attended a concert in the past 12 months, compared to about 32 percent of people nationwide, ranking third for most concertgoers behind Washington D.C. and Vermont.

Which explains why venues and summer music series are popping up across the metro area, such as Castle Rock’s Philip S. Miller Amphitheater or Thornton’s three-concert series that

benefits Adams County libraries.

Since its opening in May 2016, Philip S. Miller’s concert attendance rates have doubled, said Jennifer Reinhardt, events specialist of Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Department. Residents love having what she describes as a mini Red Rocks Amphitheater — the popular Morrison venue nestled in giant rock formations that draws international performers and guests — in their backyards.

“You can have that experience and be five minutes from home,” Reinhardt said.

Some shows are free; others require a ticket purchase. For differing prices, guests can sit in the grass, on amphitheater steps, or in box seating, which includes a table pampered with food and drink service. Artists perform a variety of music, from popular country to classic rock.

Last year, Reinhardt was most excited to see The Marshall Tucker Band, a 1970s rock and country band known for its hit “Can’t You See.” This year, she is anticipating Little River Band, an Australian rock ensemble that she and her mom listened to in her younger years.

“We wanted to offer something to the diverse population we have in Castle Rock,” Reinhardt said of this summer’s lineup. “We choose bands based off of that.”

The Highlands Ranch Community Association has a small committee that helps select bands based on sound, genre, cost and availability for its free summer concert series,

Outdoor concerts in the summer have long been popular, said Sneed.

The city of Arvada decided to invest in an amphitheater at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in the early 1990s because there weren’t as many concert venues compared to today, he said.

“We tend to get the kind of acts who maybe 20 years ago would have played at Red Rocks,” Sneed said.

“As time goes by and musical tastes change, they still have an audience, but not as big.”

Summer music concerts, for profit or free, bring communities together, organizers say.

Anythink’s Backyard Concert Series in Thornton hosts three free concerts on the second Friday of the month through August. Held at the one-acre park adjacent to Anythink Wright Farms, 5877 E. 120th Ave., the production is a chance for neighbors to mingle over music. A variety of food trucks are on site and 10 percent of sales benefit Anythink Foundation, a nonprofit for special projects and programs at Anythink Libraries in Adams County.

The concerts have been successful on a number of counts, including fundraising, building community and elevating the awareness of the library, said Anythink Director Pam Smith.

“The concerts are fun, light-hearted and a great way to enjoy Friday evenings in a convivial way,” she said. “Watching the kids play with bubbles and dance is always one of the most endearing scenes.”

Avoid being narrow-minded — in life and music

O

ne of the main talking points constantly heard on cable news channels is how divided the country is these days.

Pundits and LINER political operatives NOTES have their theories.

If you hop online, you’ll be buried in an avalanche of think pieces from every possible source about the roots, causes and ways to bridge the divide. And don’t even get me started Clarke Reader on Facebook posts.

There’s no easy way to fix the situation. But a step in the right direction comes from years of listening to an ever-expanding variety of music — don’t judge until you’ve experienced it yourself.

We all think we have the best tastes in music when we’re in high school, which, at least for me, is a pretty ridiculous idea, since high school is the first time most of us begin to listen critically to what we hear. Nevertheless, high school is

where many of us form opinions about what music we like and, equally important, which genres are not worth our time.

So, for someone like me, who was mainly into rock like the Dave Matthews Band, classics like Led Zeppelin and indie acts like Death Cab for Cutie, that essentially meant ignoring everything from country and alternative to hip-hop and pop.

In other words, I was missing some of the best music at the time because I thought I understood it and decided it wasn’t for me.

Once I started exposing myself to these genres and artists in college and day-to-day life, I realized these were vital and dynamic voices and perspectives I was missing out on.

I’m hopefully wiser, and certainly more empathetic, for giving them a chance.

From country, you can get a sense of small-town values and a more deliberate approach to life, whereas pop, at its best, can provide a joyous optimism that you won’t find in most other genres. You can find a similar joy in hip-hop, but you’ll also hear stories of struggle and overcoming adversity that is such

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit’s “The Nashville Sound,” released on Southeastern Records.

Review: Isbell broke into the mainstream with 2015’s “Something More Than Free,” a collection of acoustic guitars and muscular poetry that could just flatten the listener with its beauty, but he aims for something grander on “The Nashville Sound.” There are more bar-stompers than anything he’s done since leaving the Drive-By Truckers, but it’s his quiet numbers that still hit the a crucial part of the “American dream.”

By no means are these the only reasons to listen to the aforementioned genres, nor is any genre just one thing. But what listening to any or all of them does is provide a three- to five-minute window into a different world view.

With the internet and multitude of streaming options, there are more ways than ever to find music that’ll move and surprise you. And, perhaps, too, create a little empathy.

hardest. Expect to hear “If We Were Vampires” at more than a few weddings soon.

Isbell’s musical reach continues to grow in the most exciting ways.

Favorite song: “Something To Love” Favorite devastating lyric: ““Soon as the sun goes down, find my way to the Mustang Lounge / If you don’t sit facing the window, you could be in any town.”

View from Main Street continues to change ViewHouse newest high-concept eatery on historic street

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s a new place with a view on Littleton Main Street.

ViewHouse Littleton, the third and smallest iteration of the high-concept sports bar with locations in Centennial and Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood, opened last week to much fanfare at Main and Rapp streets.

Featuring a “chef-driven” menu and a slew of craft cocktails, ViewHouse joins the ranks of Tavern Littleton, Smokin’ Fins and The Alley in remaking the face of Littleton’s Main Street.

“Littleton’s in a big transition,” said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association. “Up until 10 years ago, we had the same bars (for about) 50 or 60 years.

Now we have stuff for everybody.”

ViewHouse occupies the Bussard Motor Co. building at 2680 W. Main St. and added a second story to the 1929 structure to achieve the eponymous view. The 10,000-square-foot restaurant features seating for 340, a 160-inch LED TV and dozens of other flatscreens scattered throughout.

The menu features about 40 local

The view from the top: ViewHouse’s rooftop patio promises amazing sunsets. taps and beers, 30 craft cocktails and a menu with signature dishes like blue crab enchiladas and slow-roasted brisket. Unique to the Littleton location is a weekend breakfast menu.

Free valet parking is available after 3 p.m. every day, and ViewHouse leased a parking lot south of the building across Alamo Avenue.

Littleton fits ViewHouse just fine, said marketing director Jennifer Ruppert.

“We’re bringing this concept to Littleton because it aligns perfectly

DAVID GILBERT

with our brand,” Ruppert said. “It’s a historic, charming street. We worked to maintain the structure and interior, while putting our own ViewHouse twist on it.”

But in the eyes of some local residents, ViewHouse may not suit Littleton. A story on ViewHouse’s grand opening, posted to the Littleton Independent’s Facebook page, drew largely negative feedback.

“Sorry, but this feels like the death knell for our sweet little downtown,”

Lynne Rerucha wrote in her post.

“I’m saddened that it’s not all mom and pop shops/restaurants anymore,” Cheryl Dickinson posted.

“No more sweet Littleton,” Tori Handley’s post said. “I’m boycotting.”

The new feel of Main Street has its upsides, said Mark Antonation, Westword’s Food & Drink editor.

“It makes for a good bar crawl,” Antonation said as he sipped an Old Fashioned at ViewHouse’s press preview. “I like it — I can get ice cream made in-house, good Vietnamese, and a little farther down the block, you can visit one of the original Taco Houses.”

Littleton Main Street isn’t quite on the radar of Denver’s foodie scene just yet, said Callie Sumlin, associate food editor at 5280 magazine, but it’s getting closer.

“It’s not most Denverites’ most expected place to go, but I think it’s incredibly charming,” Sumlin said.

“I love the downtown strip there. It pretty consistently attracts a lot of people. It’s super cute. I love Inside Scoop Creamery.”

It’s thrilling to be in an up-and-coming spot, said ViewHouse executive chef Jose Guerrero.

“I’m excited to see how we’re going to develop our brand in such a small town,” Guerrero said. “Everybody here is so ‘We Are The World’ and I love that about Littleton. I’m excited to say ‘scoot over, red rover, send the next business right over.’”

Fire muster makes a splash Parade and displays included in annual event

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Flashing red lights lit up the area and the sound of sirens echoed off the Littleton buildings June 17, announcing the arrival of the annual Fire Truck Parade & Muster, marking the start of the 30th year for the event sponsored by Mile High Hook and Ladder.

“This is such a cool event,” Douglas County resident Henry Maxwell said as he and his son watched the parade. “My boy loves fire trucks and we always try to get here for this event. He is 6. He loves the fire muster and I like it because it wears him out and he is ready for a nap when we get home.”

Littleton Fire Department’s 1914 Federal Chemical Truck led the parade and was followed by a variety of firefighting and rescue equipment of different ages, sizes, shapes and colors.

The parade wound its way through downtown Littleton until arriving at the parking lot of Arapahoe Community College, where visitors could

check out the equipment, watch a number of demonstrations and where kids could take part in a variety of activities.

There was a long line of parents and children waiting to take a ride in the back of a fire truck.

“I got to ride on a fire truck,” Dylan McCovey, 4, said with a big smile as his dad helped him get off the truck. “It was fun. I liked it best when the siren went off. It was loud but it was fun.”

Across the parking lot, spray from a fire hose arched high in the sky and kids raced through the water. A short distance away, young would-be firefighters got to turn on a hose and “fight” a make-believe house fire by using the stream of water to knock down wooden cutouts of flames.

Jose Salazar said he and his family were driving by ACC when they heard the sirens and saw all the flashing lights, so they stopped by to see what was happening.

“My three boys were excited because they really like fire trucks,” the Lakewood man said.

“When we got here, they ran all over the place and crawled all over every truck that they could.

They are having such a great time. I am glad we stopped by today because I think it is a day the kids will remember for a long time. We’ll probably keep an eye out for the date so we can come again next year.”

AUDUBON FROM PAGE 20

Audubon staff discussing with contractors plans to remove and replace severely damaged and aging wood siding on their buildings.

“The Flickers are making their own home improvements. “‘Personally, my wife and I were shocked to hear that these “bird advocates” are planning to remove our favorite siding material — I mean rotting wood is ideal for our renovation plans,’ stated Frank the Northern Flicker. Francine Flicker also shared, ‘I was afraid something would happen after that lady who does the school programs was surprised to find me one day when I was hanging out in the build-

ing. Frank had skillfully pecked a hole in the corner of the building and we escorted ourselves inside — we figured if anyone would welcome us, it would be the Audubon Society. Apparently, we were mistaken!

“Babs, the Red-winged Blackbird, commented during a daily feeder chat how wonderful it is when the Audubon staff and volunteers fill our bird feeders with delicious seeds and suet. ‘I hope they meet their fundraising goal,’ Babs said. ‘That Flicker family has PLENTY of trees to excavate around here. They should stop whining.’”

9/11 Monument unites locals affected by attacks Leadership Douglas County delivers symbolic project to downtown Castle Rock

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chief Christopher McCarthy with the Castle Rock Fire Department vividly remembers his commute to work before the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

A former Brooklyn paramedic, McCarthy lived in Long Island and paid a toll every day traveling the Long Island Expressway. He’d be on the road by 5 or 6 a.m., and with the sunrise behind him, make his way toward the New York City skyline. He could best see the World Trade Center, he said, at the Long Island Expressway exit from the Northern State Parkway.

“One thing I liked about that commute was that view,” he said. “That one little piece. Otherwise, that commute was terrible.”

The sunrise on Sept. 11 didn’t disappoint.

“I was like, it’s just going to be a beautiful day,” he recalls thinking as he looked forward to a day of patrol.

To his surprise, McCarthy arrived at work to learn his partner was on vacation and he was placed on desk duty. It was a let-down. McCarthy liked being on patrol.

He started that morning drinking

coffee and talking with two members of his hazmat crew, both named Brian, before he shuffled them out of the office.

McCarthy had inventories orders to run, and it was time to get to work.

But shortly after, McCarthy saw the two Brians running back up the driveway.

“Boss,” they said, “the World Trade Center is on fire.”

• • • McCarthy left New York in 2002 and joined the fire department in Castle Rock, where he now works as a division chief in the training department.

Today, he also is a proud graduate of the Leadership Douglas County class of 2017. Leadership Douglas County is a Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce program that takes people from all backgrounds — from business owners to nonprofit organizations to government employees — through programming that encourages people into leadership roles.

Each graduating class is tasked with completing one community project before graduation. The class of 2017 created an impactful one, chamber president Pam Ridler said.

The 22 participants planned and delivered a 9/11 Monument that now sits in front of the Castle Rock’s fire department headquarters at 300 Perry St. McCarthy pitched the idea, and from November to its June 10 ribbon-cutting, the group worked to design the memorial.

The base of the monument is rhyolite

A new 9/11 monument in Castle Rock, located outside the downtown fire department headquarters, was a project of the Leadership Douglas County class of 2017.

stone, symbolic of the natural resources found near Castle Rock. But the bulk of the memorial is comprised of a tall, rusted, contorted piece of steel pipe that is a remnant of the World Trade Center structure.

“It’s very powerful,” McCarthy said.

“To twist a steam pipe into a pretzel shape requires a lot of kinetic energy.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 10 struck a chord with many, Ridler said. One attendee had been a civilian trapped in the towers during the attacks. Although he did not want any recognition, she said, the event brought back emotions for him.

The monument is mostly an effort to commemorate the lives lost on that fateful day, program participants have said. However, throughout the course of the project, it became something that united many of those living locally who were touched by the terrorist attacks.

And brought back memories for all of where they were when they heard the news.

Tom Bailey, a Castle Pines resident and senior project manager with Adolfson & Peterson Construction in Aurora, joined Leadership Douglas County as a way to network and gain leadership skills.

He remembers his 70- to 80-man construction site in Indianapolis coming to a freeze when news of the attacks broke.

Three weeks later he traveled to New York City for medical work and took time to visit the desecrated World Trade Center, walking around the entire site.

“I just remember seeing cars covered in 2 to 3 inches of ash just left right where they were,” he said. “To smell that decay, the dust, the ash, it’s just something that I couldn’t describe because it was not like anything I had ever experienced before.”

Working on the 9/11 monument was a highly rewarding experience, he said, commending the group and the many sponsors who donated time, labor and supplies to make it happen.

He hopes, he said, the monument leaves people with an appreciation for rescue personnel.

“I think it might make people, once in a while, kind of step back and realize how the policemen and firemen in our community put their lives at risk every day,” he said. “That was the whole concept. It was remembering all the first responders. They put the needs of others ahead of the needs of themselves.”

• • • Sgt. Tim Beals with the Lone Tree Police Department, also a 2017 Leadership Douglas County graduate, said the class was fortunate to have a hands-on group of people who each brought unique expertise to the project.

He was grateful to have met new friends through the group, grateful to have met McCarthy and see first-hand how the monument would affect people touched by the attacks.

Although wanting to join his fellow first responders set up triage on-scene, McCarthy had been firmly ordered to remain at his desk throughout the day on Sept. 11 and manage calls — the rest of the city still needed service.

The two Brians, trapped in a building crushed when the towers collapsed, survived. But McCarthy lost 17 friends that day.

“To lose them all in one day,” he said, trailing off.

The Leadership Douglas County project has helped him in the healing process, McCarthy said.

But most importantly, he said, the monument is now a lasting remembrance of all those who died and who continue to battle health problems — like cancer — because of their rescue work at 9/11.

“I don’t share it often,” McCarthy said of his story. “This is not about me. It’s about them. It has to be about those who were killed that morning and those who continue to suffer and are dying today.

That’s why this monument is important to me.”

Meet the

creators at Denver Comic Con

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When visiting Denver Comic Con, it’s easy to get caught up in the extraordinarily detailed and arresting cosplay costumes, celebrities and vast array of memorabilia.

But what makes the Con so special is the opportunity to meet the makers of the worlds so many people get lost in — writers like Highland Ranch’s Wendy Terrien and C.R. Richards and Parker’s Corinne O’Flynn.

“For me, the thing I love about the con is the atmosphere,” O’Flynn wrote in an email interview. “In many ways, it’s like looking behind the curtain into another world. It’s the world of the artists who draw the things that stir our emotions, the actors who play those iconic roles, and the creators who compel fandoms.”

Wendy Terrien Book: “The Rampart Guard” Where to see me: I will be doing signings in Author Alley during the Con. I will also be speaking on a five different panels and participating in the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ event.

About my writing: I took some creative writing when I was in college, but it wasn’t until 2010 when I was laid off from a job that I had a career counselor ask what I wanted to. I said I wanted to write, but couldn’t do that, and at that moment I realized how much I wanted to write. So I started doing research, going to classes and critique conferences because I believe you should continue

learning.

My first book took five years to write, but I kept at it, working on story structure and character development. And it paid off, because it received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

I also had to learn as much as I could about the publishing world, which is a hugely complicated process. So eventually I decided to publish independently, and started my own publishing company.

Comic Con culture: I love talking to people and getting their perspectives on the worlds they love. It’s great learning about how they picked their costumes and what went into them.

There’s a whole other level of creativity you find at Comic Con, and this is a place where people can really shine.

Really, it’s all research and inspiration for my writing.

I will also be speaking on a handful of panels. One is about starting your novel and another panel is on finishing it, another is about writing complex plots in Fantasy, Mystery and Thrillers. I’ll also be participating in one on Writing Strong Women in science fiction and fantasy and Religion in science fiction and fantasy.

About my writing: I have been enthusiastic about writ-

C.R. Richards Books: “Heart of the Warrior” Book One — “The Lords of Valdeon” “The Mutant Casebook” Book One — “Phantom Harvest” “Pariah” “Lost Man’s Parish” Where to see me: I will be doing signings in Author Alley all three days of the Con. I will also be speaking on four panels. One is about finishing your novel, and another is about writing complex plots in Fantasy, Mystery and Thrillers. I’ll also be participating in one on Writing Strong Women in science fiction and fantasy and urban science fiction.

About my writing: I’ve always loved fantasy novels, as

ing as far back as I can remember, but I wouldn’t consider myself a lifelong writer. I was definitely raised to love reading, so the interest was always there, but not as a creator. Now that I am an author, I write what I love to read. I write fantasy, paranormal and mystery.

Comic Con culture: I’ve been to Comic Con a few times since it’s been in Denver, but always as an attendee. Last year was my first time attending as an author, and what a different experience that was.

The cosplayers are, by far, the most incredible thing about Comic Con, but I love wandering around and seeing all the artists and makers. I am blown away that I get to be part of all of it. I love meeting readers and fellow fandom-dwellers at Comic Con. It’s especially fun to meet a new reader who is interested in reading my book. I am still in touch with many people who I met last year at DCC. Cons offer a unique opportunity connect with readers and genre enthusiasts...there’s nothing like it.

well as paranormal and the dark fantasy genre. I grew up with Terry Brooks, and Stephen King’s “The Stand,” as well as the Sherlock Holmes books. All made a big impact on me.

I’ve been writing for years and years, but I didn’t start my first book until 2004, and it took until 2010 to get it published. Going back and editing your book is much harder than starting from scratch, but it’s important to me to be true to the story.

Comic Con culture: Going to Comic Con is a great experience because I love addressing questions and talking with people. I can’t wait to see some of the artists and see what they’ve done.

There is so much creative energy out there, and you get to see so much of it at cons. I love walking through the aisles and seeing all the artists and people dressed up.

SPORTS ThunderRidge, Creek soccer players stand out

ThunderRidge junior Shae Holmes was chosen as Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Player of the Year.

PAUL DISALVO

Holmes, Geraghty honored as players of the year in south metro area

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Libby Geraghty and Shae Holmes were remarkably similar on this statistical sheet this spring.

Geraghty, a senior at Cherry Creek who is headed to the University of Colorado to play soccer, led the Centennial League in scoring with 51 points and goals with 21.

Holmes, a junior at ThunderRidge, was the Continental League’s top scorer with 47 points and also topped goal scorers in the league with 20 tallies.

Geraghty and Holmes have been tabbed as 2017 Colorado Com-

Cherry Creek senior Libby Geraghty’s achievements led to her choice as Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Player of the Year.

FILE PHOTO

munity Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Players of the Year.

Mountain Vista senior Taeya Schueppert was also strongly considered.

SOUTH METRO Geraghty ATHLETES wound up OF THE YEAR fourth in both points and goals in 5A statistics.

“She’s a fantastic player,” said Creek coach Jim Schneider.

“Libby is a rock star. She’s a bright light and unquestionably the leader of the team.”

Holmes, a left back on her Real Colorado team and a defender on the USA Under 18 national squad, is a forward for only two months a year.

She and her friend Maddie Duren made the ThunderRidge varsity as freshman, but the only place for Holmes to play was outside forward while Duran saw

playing time at left back.

Holmes just kept playing midfield and starting scoring goals.

“With Maddie and I on the wing kind of reminded me of my club and U.S. team,” said Holmes. “I was used to sending balls crossing like that. Since I got put in that spot, scoring came along with it. High school has been my time to go have some fun and score some goals.

“It’s definitely a blast. It’s something different and I learned something new each year since I don’t play the position yearround.”

The 2017 season could be Holmes’ last high school campaign if she decides to join the United States Development Academy.

“I’m leaning toward choosing the Academy over high school, which is a bummer,” she admitted. “It will be hard. I still want to be a part of the program and be a part of the atmosphere, be a manager or something.”

Legacy’s Buchanan has foul trouble — other people

E

arly last fall, Legacy boys soccer coach Tony Romano stopped counting fouls against senior forward Tajon Buchanan.

Buchanan was so good that many opposing players figured the best way to slow the Canadian import was to OVERTIME foul him.

“On the field he drew a tremendous amount of attention,” said Romano.

“After like five games last season I stopped counting after he had 80 fouls against him in like the first third of the season.

“Teams realized there Jim Benton was nothing they could do to defend that kid other than knock him down. Given that fact, getting fouled relentlessly, he didn’t get himself a lot of yellow cards.”

Buchanan moved into the Legacy district from the Toronto area with a friend and his family. He wanted to play for the United States Development Academy but didn’t get permission from U.S. soccer, so he played for Legacy.

Why soccer and not hockey was easy to answer, since Buchanan was recently named the Colorado Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year. He is a finalist for the National Player of the Year award.

He led all Class 5A scorers with 21 goals and 52 points.

“I’ve been coaching soccer at the high school level for 20 years and hands down he’s the best player I’ve ever coached,” said Romano. “He might be the best player I’ve seen at the high school level in 20 years.

He’s truly amazing.”

Buchanan, a hard worker on the pitch and in the classroom, has signed to play soccer at Syracuse. He has the speed, agility, endurance, ball skills and soccer sense to play a lot at the next level.

“He goes around defenders like they are just standing there,” added Romano. “He is extremely deceptive. He’ll make you go left when he’s going right. He does it over and over and you even know it’s coming and you can’t do anything about it.

“If you had never seen him play, when he steps on the field and you watch him play for about 90 seconds, you say OK, that guy is at a whole another level than anyone else out there.”

Perry steps down Cherry Creek athletic director Jason Wilkins used twitter to announce that Bryan Perry is stepping down as the Bruins’ boys lacrosse coach.

Perry guided the Bruins to their record sixth state title on May 20 with a win over Regis Jesuit.

He was the coach for five of Creek’s title teams and has coached five state runner-up teams while compiling a 220-60 record in 15 years as Cherry Creek coach. He coached four seasons at Arapahoe before moving to SEE BENTON, P29

Golden Eagles turn in solid performance Mountain Vista coach praises effort at 7-on-7 football tournament

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coach Ric Cash thanked the Mountain Vista players for their strong competitive effort in all the three of June 14 Broncos 7-on-7 tournament games they played at Denver All-City Stadium.

The schedule placed Mountain Vista in June 16 pool play with Pine Creek, Monte Vista and Silver Creek. The Golden Eagles lost a tough opening game battle to Pine Creek 34-28, bested Monte Vista 7-0 and lost to pool play winner Silver Creek 35-28 in a game that went to overtime “We came here to grow as a team and we did that,” the coach told the players after the team’s final game of the day. “We finished 1-2 but I believe we are good enough to have won all three games.

The important thing is you competed hard and we grew as a team.”

The 7-on-7 event is an all-passing, touch football tournament involving backs, receivers and linebackers and defensive backs. The 7-on-7 games provide coaches an opportunity to work on passing offense with quarterbacks, running backs and receivers and with defense with linebackers, corner backs and safeties. A team earns seven points for a touchdown and three points for an interception.

About 100 team from 1A through 5A schools entered in the Bronco June 14-17 tournament. All 7-on-7 entries were divided into four-team pools for the round-robin play that took up the first three days of the competition. The 25 pool

Mountain Vista quarterback Jacob Barnett prepares to launch a pass to a teammate during the June 15 Broncos 7-on-7 tournament game against Pine Creek. Barnett completed the pass but Pine Creek won the game 34-28. The Golden Eagles finished the day 1-2 in pool play but Coach Ric Cash praised the team for their competitiveness and effort.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS play winners then advanced to the June 17 single-elimination tournament held at the Denver Broncos training facility at Dove Valley to determine the tournament champion.

Cash took time after the tournament to talk about how the Mountain Vista football team is shaping up for the 2017 season.

“We definitely have some holes to fill as we graduated quite a few talented seniors, including four who are going on to play college football,” he said. “That type of loss leaves question marks in the spring and summer about how the young guys step up so we can fill those holes in our lineups. We know we have work to do but I believe the talent and the game plans are there we will need to be a very good football team.”

He said the Golden Eagles held their full-contact camp that concluded in the scrim-

men, and he expects he will have about 20 more join the team in the fall.

“Fortunately our numbers are remaining consistent.

That isn’t the case at all schools,” he said. “I think what is happening at other schools is parents’ fears of injuries are keeping the 15 to 25 freshmen who have never played football before from coming out for the team. I think where we are doing a good job is retaining a higher number of freshmen out for football who stay with us for all four years.”

Senior leadership is important for the team, and the coach said he has several seniors including Joe Krysa who are expected to be team leaders.

“I am a defensive back,” the senior said. “I did play some running back before high school but switched to defense when I came to Mountain Vista. I like being a cornerback a lot. I guess part of playing cornerback is I like to hit people rather than having people hit me if I was a running back.”

He said he feels he is a better defensive back now than he was at this time last year thanks to what the coaching staff has helped him learn.

“The coaches help me learn stuff I didn’t know about the last two seasons,” Krysa said. “I think I have made the biggest improvement at being better reading the plays the other team is running so I can be in position to make a play. I feel I also am better at reading the quarterback on the first and second receivers so I can play better pass defense. I have improved but I am still working to continue to get better in all the skills I need to be a good cornerback.”

He said he feels the Golden Eagles have the talent to be a good team this season and his goal for 2017 is to do all he can to help his team win football games.

Two cited Colorado High School Activities Association associate commissioner Tom Robinson and longtime Denver Christian basketball coach Dick Katte will receive National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) citations on July 1 at the NFHS summer meetings in Providence, Rhode Island.

Two track competitors finished strong for year Evans, Nugent honored as south metro stars

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maya Evans and Drake Nugent both were unnoticeable early in the season but came on strong during the state track championships in May at Jefferson County Stadium.

Evans, a junior at Lutheran, didn’t become eligible until midway through the season after transferring from Vista Peak. Nugent, a touted sophomore football player at Highlands Ranch, showed immense improvement during the season.

SOUTH METRO At the state ATHLETES meet, Evans won three individual OF THE YEAR events, ran a leg on a state title relay team and set two Class 3A meet records. Nugent captured the Class 5A shot put title.

Evans has been selected as the 2017 Colorado Community Media Girls South Metro Track Athlete of the Year while Nugent is the Boys Track Athlete

Lutheran junior Maya Evans is the Colorado Community Media Girls South Metro Track Athlete of the Year.

of the Year.

“Being out a big portion of the year, I trained harder in the off season but my times weren’t there,” explained

Evans. “Then I was getting back to where I needed to be from last year and my freshman year. I had a lot of support from Lutheran High School. They

pushed me a lot. Sometimes I would want to stop doing things and they told me, `Maya you’ve got to push yourself.’

“I was very excited about the state meet. I wanted to do better at the state meet than other meets. When I hear people say my name or ‘go Maya’, I get positive and put it all out on the track.”

Evans won the 100-meter dash in 11.83 and the 200 meters in 24.35. She set a class record with a winning effort of 19-05.25 in the long jump and ran the third leg of the Lions’ 4x100 championship relay team, which set a 3A record of 48.95.

Nugent, the Continental League champion, won the shot put on his final throw of 51-10.50 “He improved almost 12 feet from his freshman to sophomore year to win state on his fourth and final throw,” said co-coach John Padjen.

“He is an extremely positive, hardworking athlete with great focus and desire to improve each week. He broke through the 50-foot mark at the Highlands Ranch Invitational May 6 and increased another foot two weeks later at the state meet.”

Improvement provided Nugent with motivation.

“At the start of the year my main goal was just to make it to state,” said

Veterans honored on Flag Day Buckley airmen retire Old Glory for retired vets

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Flag Day may pass without notice for some, but honoring the sacrifices of people who fought for it was the order of the day at the Highline Place Memory Care home in Littleton on June 14. Members of Rising 6, a community outreach group composed of airmen from Buckley Air Force Base, performed a flag-retiring ceremony for the home’s resident veterans. As a dozen veterans watched from the veranda, a flag in the home’s courtyard was lowered, folded and presented to Dr. Robert Baird, who served in the Army in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. A new flag was raised in its place, the airmen gave commemorative military coins to the assembled vets, and the solemnity faded to easy friendship as the airmen settled in for lunch with their predecessors.
