MY NAME IS

BRI OLSON

Brianna Olson and her fiance, Garrett, opened Club Pilates in Englewood in April. The Highlands Ranch residents are following their dream of owning a business. COURTESY OF

Owner of Club Pilates enjoys playing football About me I was raised in Minnesota. I moved to Colorado to go to Colorado State University and I never left. I studied communications and business.

My fiancé and I chose to move to Highlands Ranch because we were starting a family and it seemed like a fun and safe place to live. We’ve been there for a little over two years.

We have a son named Hudson who is 1 1/2 and a great Dane named Yogi.

Opening a Pilates studio I used to sell real estate and was on maternity leave with my son. My fiancé, Garrett, had a residential painting company. We decided to look at franchises and fell in love with Club Pilates. There are 17 sold and seven up and running in Colorado. It’s one of the fastest-growing

ABIGAIL HURLBUT

franchises in the U.S. The Pilates world is perceived as an expensive way to work out. Club Pilates makes it more affordable for the masses and there is a class for all levels of experience. The reformer is the staple piece of machine in Pilates.

We have 13 in our studio. Unlike other studios where you have to make an appointment, we are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and on

weekends from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

I like Pilates because you can do it at any point in your life. If you are physically fit, it’s a great workout. If you are rehabilitating, it’s a low-impact activity. We have classes targeted for specific things — cardio sculpt is great for runners, TRX is for upper body strength.

Our full-length classes are 55 minutes. We offer free intro classes every week. We also offer a Pilates instruc-

Sandoval created the La Sandia menu to show the casual, more comforting side of Mexican cuisine. The restaurant will feature numerous specials until its final closing date,

including $15 bottomless brunch cocktails and $2 Tacos Tuesdays.

“We want everyone to come in and enjoy their favorite meals and cocktails one last time,” Sandoval said in the release. “For those who can’t make it in before the closing, a Sandia Cantina in Northfield Stapleton remains open and continues to serve a similar menu to the Park Meadows location.”

Working alongside a loved one It’s awesome. We are both very entrepreneurial. This is what we love to do. We love to work toward goals and we are making a better future for our son.

The most fun part about this experience has been working with someone I love. We put our blood, sweat and tears into it. I’ve learned my fiancé and I can do anything together.

Fun fact I play on a football team called RivALZ. It’s a female league, blondes versus brunettes. I’m the quarterback.

We practice 12 times in the spring and summer and end with a game at the University of Denver.

Sushi Rama rolls into Lone Tree Sushi-Rama, the conveyor-belt sushi concept from Denver restaurateur Chef Jeff Osaka, opens its new location July 9 in Lone Tree. The Denverborn sushi joint serves up nigiri, sushi and Japanese fare in a fun, colorful and visually engaging setting.

Based on the sushi style of “kaiten,” which means “sushi-go-round” in Japanese, the unique dining experience allows for guests to enjoy quick service while sampling different types of sushi and nigiri from the extensive selection of fish flown in daily.

Guests can expect everything from classic rolls like California and spicy tuna to one-of-a-kind creations like the C.L.T. (soft shell crab tempura, avocado, Bibb lettuce, tomato, black pepper and roasted garlic mayo) or the Pumpkin Dragon (Japanese pumpkin tempura, marinated kelp and topped with an avocado and honey glaze).

Sushi-Rama also features Japanese cuisine that guests can order from the kitchen. Selections include Spicy Rock Shrimp (rock shrimp tempura with spicy garlic aioli) and Chicken Katsu (fried chicken thigh, green onion, nori

and Nom-Nom sauce). Japanese twists on classics like the Tokyo 75 with Beefeater gin, yuzu, and sparkling sake round out the cocktail program.

Master Magnetics moves to new site With its recent move to a 99,000-square-foot building in Castle Rock, Master Magnetics Inc. has set the foundation to support its anticipated growth while keeping the business in the town where it all started in 1976.

Master Magnetic has grown into a leading source for magnets and magnetic products in North America for commercial, industrial and consumer use. It started in a 4,000-square-foot space with one primary product — the magnetic tool holder. The company now stocks more than 20 million products. Before the move, Master Magnetics had operations in seven buildings across two counties.

The company’s new headquarters is at 1211 Atchison Court, Castle Rock.

“Customer service has always been our primary concern, and combining all of our Colorado production, warehousing and shipping operations in one location will allow us to maintain our high level of service as we grow,” Jennifer Brown, chief operating officer, said in a news release.

Family owned for more than 40 years, Master Magnetics recently transitioned into an employee-owned business, the news release said. The company has more than 85 team members.

Renaissance Festival comes to life

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur opened its doors for the second weekend this summer last weekend. The festival, inspired by the 16th Century, boasts a village of permanent structures that come to life with hundreds of actors over the summer. The actors, portraying “merrymakers” living and working in the village, stay in character as they interact with guests of the festival.

Shows and various acts take over seven stages throughout the day, entertaining large crowds.

Eventgoers also line up for elephant rides, enjoy jousting competitions, small rides and numerous other activities.

Many people who attend carefully craft on-theme costumes to wear during their visit.

On June 23, Gabie Chamness, of Westminster, wore a green, leafy ensemble complete with a staff of greenery.

Chamness said she’s a regular at the festival and this year wore a costume inspired by her love of nature.

“I come every year that I can,” she said. “I try to come every weekend.”

The festival is held at 650 W. Perry Park Ave. and runs through Aug. 5. For more information, go to coloradorenaissance.com

Parades made their way through the grounds during the Renaissance Festival on June 23.

The Renaissance Festival opened its doors for the second weekend this summer. The festival runs on Saturdays and Sundays through early August in Larkspur.

School board reviews superintendent’s entry plan Thomas Tucker starts his role in Douglas County on July 1

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the start date for the new superintendent of the Douglas County School District approaches, members of the school board are in the process of reviewing an entry plan with goals and expectations for him.

Thomas Tucker, superintendent of Princeton City Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio, since 2015, will start as superintendent in Tucker Douglas County on July 1.

The school board selected Tucker in April, after a months-long, nationwide search.

At a June 19 school board meeting, members discussed Tucker’s entry plan with him via speakerphone. Tucker has not yet relocated to Douglas County.

Board member Kevin Leung raised questions about how Tucker will foster a relationship with the community. He pointed to 2010, when the former school board hired Elizabeth Fagen as superintendent. She introduced evaluation and salary systems that many people say spurred an exodus of quality educa-

tors from the district.

“We had a disaster experience last time around,” Leung said to Tucker.

“What will you do to ensure you’re here for the community?”

Tucker’s entry plan outlines the “nonnegotiable” aspects of his role: Serve students by acting with integrity and honesty, remain focused on student success and academic achievement, explore opportunities to increase the district’s performance, model lifelong learning and professionalism, promote risk-taking and cultivate innovation.

“It’s important that I personally know as many of our 68,000 students as possible,” Tucker said during the phone call. “It shouldn’t be a big surprise when I come into the building.”

Tucker’s action plan is made up of four goals: create a structure to listen and learn about Douglas County School District; establish a strong working relationship with the board of education; study the district’s student-performance status and budget; and promote a culture of excellence with a focus on student achievement.

Each goal has a list of bullet points detailing how the goal will be achieved, as well as a timeline of either 30, 60 or 90 days from Tucker’s start date.

In the June 19 conversation, Tucker highlighted the board’s five end-statements, approved in March to serve as continuous goals for the school district.

They include academic excellence, outstanding educators and staff, positive

Abe Laydon wins GOP primary for county commissioner Opponent Diane Holbert conceded race shortly after polls closed

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Abe Laydon has won the Republican primary election for District 1 Douglas County Commissioner over Diane Holbert — who’s currently serving in an interim position on the board.

Holbert conceded to Laydon through a voicemail just after 7:30 p.m. June 26, when the first round of results were posted to the Colorado Secretary of State’s website, shortly after the polls closed at 7 p.m.

“My goal was just to run a clean, positive campaign, focused on solutions,” Laydon said at a watch party June 26. “I’m thrilled that the people

of Douglas County acknowledged that.”

Holbert, who previously served as the county treasurer, got a running start at the job and the party’s early favor in April when a Douglas County ReLaydon publican committee appointed her to fill a vacancy on the board of commissioners.

Official results are not available until July 18, but as of 9 p.m. June 26, Laydon led the race with nearly 54 percent of the more than 33,600 ballots cast for commissioner.

Laydon, an attorney from Lone Tree, will run against Democrat Mary Lynch in the general election. Lynch was uncontested in the Democratic primary.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to have served as treasurer and currently as commissioner,” said

Holbert, of Parker.

The swearing-in of whoever wins the District 1 commissioner’s seat in November will take place in January.

The historic election was the first open primary in Colorado, meaning unaffiliated voters could participate for the first time.

As of June 1, Douglas County reported 48,853 registered Democrats, 107,147 registered Republicans and 87,576 unaffiliated voters. More than 3,800 voters were classified as “other.”

Here’s a roundup of more contested Douglas County races.

Clerk and Recorder Incumbent Merlin Klotz squared off with Bob Kennedy in the Republican primary.

Klotz received 57 percent over Kennedy’s 43 percent. Klotz will face Carol Johnson, who ran uncontested in the Democratic primary, in the general election.

MORE RESULTS For results of statewide and congressional races, go to ColoradoCommunityMedia.com Klotz became the Douglas County clerk and recorder in 2014.

Treasurer Dave Gill and Bob Muni were vying for the treasurer position on the Republican side. Gill prevailed with 61 percent of the vote. He’ll face Democrat Angie Hicks, who ran uncontested, in November.

State House District 45 Incumbent state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Republican, will run against Democrat Danielle Kombo in the general election.

Neville ran uncontested, and Kombo beat opponent Michael Hupp with 63 percent of the vote.

Colorado’s second location of Shake Shack, a New York-based chain, will be in Central Park, just south of Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery. The development is quickly making progress and expected to be complete by early 2019.

ALEX DEWIND

Residents weigh in as development fills formerly empty land Shea Properties’ Central Park continues to grow

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Residents have mixed feelings about the latest development coming to life in Highlands Ranch, known as Central Park.

Owned by Shea Properties, the 100-acre property sits east of Lucent Boulevard and south of Town Center Drive. By early 2019, it will encompass a six-story UCHealth hospital, regional park, communications tower for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, apartments, single-family homes and a mix of retail, recreation and commercial buildings.

Almost complete, the retail area of the development is a hub of restaurants and workout studios. Popular chains including Shake Shack, Mad Greens and Starbucks have or will soon be opened. Barre3, a balletinspired studio, and Orangetheory Fitness, offering high-intensity interval workouts, have also opened.

While some residents agree that Central Park brings new options to the community, others miss the simplicity of what once was. Prior to the development, the land was untouched.

“It was a bit of the old Colorado, beautiful open space with mountain views in the distance among a corporate jungle, horses and cows grazing in the heart of suburbia,” resident Eric Burton said. “Kind of like a breath of fresh air on smoggy day.”

Resident Jess Katz can’t make up her mind about the place, she said over Facebook. She’s gone to dinner in Central Park twice and had bad experiences both times, she said.

“I know it’s new,” Katz said, “so we’re trying not to completely write it off quite yet.”

Alaina Hopkins-Leighton is excited for the latest restaurant, Torchy’s Tacos, to open later this month. Twice a month, she and her husband go to another location of the Mexican restaurant in Greenwood Village, 8505 E. Arapahoe Road. The joint is known for its signature tacos, the Green Chile Pork, Fried Avocado and Trailer Park.

“It’ll be nice to have one right here,” Hopkins-Leighton said.

Business owners in Central Park are optimistic about the future of the development.

Lindsey Schwarz, manager of Orangetheory Fitness, and her staff like the variety of dining options. Schwarz doesn’t mind being next door to other fitness studios, she said, because they offer different types of workouts. Rush Cycle, a spinning studio, will occupy the space between Orangetheory and Barre3.

“I think it’s great,” Schwarz said.

“As businesses continue to open, we see more and more foot traffic and energy. We are loving inviting new neighbors and getting to know people.”

She looks forward to the regional park that is coming to fruition behind her studio.

The namesake of the development, the park will encompass about three acres. At its center is a 150-foot orange structure — county officials describe its shape as “chopsticks” — that doubles as a communication tower for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

The park is expected to have an outdoor gathering space, amphitheater, restrooms and walking trails.

“I’m really excited to see how the park develops,” Schwarz said. “It will be a nice spot to take breaks and hang out.”

Leaders react to family separations on border White House rolled out, then halted, the policy of separating children

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Images of children in large cages created by chain-link metal fencing and a former Walmart-turned-migrant shelter near the U.S. border with Mexico have turned attention to the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy toward illegal entry into the country in recent weeks.

But the administration reversed course — to an extent — with a June 20 executive order that aims to detain and hold migrant families together, instead of separating children from their families during the process.

In the days leading up to that shift, a growing chorus of critics including Republican lawmakers decried the policy.

“We support the administration’s efforts to enforce our immigration laws, but we cannot support implementation of a policy that results in the categorical forced separation of minor children from their parents,”

said a letter written by 13 Republican senators, including Colorado’s Cory Gardner, a Republican from Yuma, that was addressed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and released June 19.

But with more than 2,300 children already separated from families in May and early June, the ripple effects — for DeGette families, Congress and the White House — will likely continue to reverberate.

The practice began in April, when Sessions announced a zero-tolerance policy to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible, nationCoffman al outlets reported. As a result, virtually all adults crossing the border are subject to criminal prosecution, with their children taken and placed in shelters. One such location is a former Walmart in Brownsville, Texas, with dorm-style bedrooms. It houses about 1,500 boys and had to act to expand its capacity in recent weeks, national outlets reported.

BORDER FROM PAGE 9

A detention facility in nearby McAllen, Texas, one of the places where families are held together initially, uses a series of large chainlink cages where groups of people sit in areas with small mats and “Mylar”-type thin, plastic blankets, the Associated Press and other outlets reported.

Some migrants at certain entry points along the border can attempt to seek asylum — legal status for people who have been persecuted or fear persecution based on race or other characteristics — but even some asylum-seekers have been turned away and told facilities are too full for them, several outlets have reported.

About 500 of the more than 2,300 children separated from families have been reunited, a Trump administration official told the Associated Press June 22, but it was unclear what the ongoing process to reunite families would be. A government hotline was set up to help parents locate children, but lawyers said some parents have been deported without their children, the New York Times reported June 17.

Meanwhile, Colorado’s lawmakers and governor have weighed in on the policy: • “Americans of all political stripes have spoken out against this immor-

June 28, 2018J al policy. Yet the president and his administration continue to perpetuate falsehoods and blame others for their own cruelty,” said U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Denver, in a statement.

• “Tearing children from the arms of parents and then isolating them alone is antithetical to the America I grew up in, and to the America that I have many times fought to defend,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, in a tweeted statement. “This isn’t who we are.”

• “Enough is enough. (Homeland Security) Secretary Nielsen should resign or be fired from her post,” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Denver Democrat, said in a news release.

“She has overseen an unprecedented humanitarian crisis ripping away thousands of young children from their parents without a clear path to reunification.”

• “Despite days of lies and misdirection, it is clear President Trump had the authority to stop these inhumane practices all along,” said U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat from Arvada, in a statement.

• The Trump administration’s “practice of separating children from their parents when arriving at the southern border is offensive to our core values as Coloradans and as a country,” an executive order signed June 18 by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper said. The order bars Colorado from using state resources to separate children from their parents or legal guardians on the sole ground of immigration status.

VOICES

Expect annual boom in lowbrow behavior

t doesn’t hurt to ask, but I know what you’re going to say.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Fourth of July came and went without any residential explosions?

They’re illegal. They’re annoying. They’re inconsiderate.

They negatively impact those who experience PTSD, those with pets (especially dogs), and those, like me, who consider them a juvenile form of entertainment.

“Look, it blowed up.”

It goes on every year because we’re entitled to do as we please, no matter how it might affect others.

Americans are not widely known for being considerate. We take spray paint into national parks.

Earlier this year, Delaware resident Michael Rohana was accused of breaking off a terracotta warrior’s thumb at Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute.

On the way back to Delaware, Rohana allegedly bragged about sneaking into the exhibition and stealing the thumb.

If you don’t consider either of

those a big deal, please move on to another column.

Wouldn’t it be much nicer if everyone celebrated July Fourth with QUIET backyard gatherDESPERATION ings that maximized conversation and minimized skyrockets and mortar shells?

Nah. When it comes to the Fourth, silence isn’t golden. Far from it.

“It’s a tradition,” I’m told over and Craig Marshall over.

Smith So is hazing.

Hazing will never end as long as there are fraternities somewhere.

Boys will be boys, you say? Ask your son who went through it.

I am a wet blanket. A spoilsport.

No doubt about it. Maybe I was raised wrong. I guess if something I were to do might bother someone, I wouldn’t do it.

That’s why I don’t mow my lawn

at midnight, even though I am always up, and there’s plenty of lamp light.

My neighborhood sounds like a war zone on the Fourth. Then, late, it goes quiet. Have there been times when I wanted to get out the mower?

Absolutely. But, like I said, I was raised wrong.

My father always said, “Be considerate of others.”

It’s a lost cause. I heard a cell phone ring in church one day.

I heard a cell phone ring in an art museum one day.

If you don’t consider either of those a big deal, please move on to another column.

I would leave the country and take the dog with me, throughout July — if I had the money. Then I wouldn’t know or care what anyone around here might do.

Oh, I’d read about it, just like I do every year. Someone always gets killed or maimed.

he scene is a local coffee shop.

It’s mid-afternoon and there are no customers in the shop.

The three baristas are standing behind the counter looking at their telephone, texting or checking out social media. The store is spotless, the inventory re-stocked, bathrooms are clean, display cases arranged perfectly.

The manager returns from running to the bank and sees the employees on their phones, heads down. How does the manager respond?

The scene is the same, mid-afternoon and there are still no customers in the shop. The three baristas are still behind the WINNING counter preoccupied WORDS with their phones, but the store is in disarray, the floors need to be swept, the bathrooms are filthy, and the display cases are more than half empty.

The manager returns from the bank and sees what’s going on, now Michael Norton how does the manager respond?

We know that in the first scenario the manager was probably very good at setting expectations and communicating policy around use of cell phones at work.

And the staff knew the rules. There were probably consequences outlined for people who were on their phones when there was work that still needed to be done. The staff felt good about the fact that they could use their phones when the store was quiet, and when all the work was 100 percent completed.

Conversely, in the second scenario, which seems to happen more and more and frustrate managers and owners with increasing frequency, we would probably find that there was a “My way or the highway” management style, a lack of clearly articulated goals and expectations, and no enforced or reinforced

Of course, there are risks everywhere. I was at Altamont, hoping to hear the Jefferson Airplane.

Or, as I said later, “I went to a riot and a concert broke out.”

I don’t celebrate the Fourth of July. At least not with a pack of matches.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with hamburgers and hot dogs and a vivid discussion about the moisture they found on Mars. I can hear the crickets, and your one word: “Boring.”

Fireworks bore me. They are tedious and repetitious. They haven’t changed since I was a kid, and offer me no amusement.

I’m not certain which is worse: Fourth of July fireworks or Christmas music in November.

I can avoid one (to an extent) but not the other.

When the Criblecoblis family down the street sets off a rocket, the harsh noise it makes is as much mine as it is theirs.

And they don’t care.

consequences when it comes to keeping a clean shop filled with proper inventory and welldisplayed products. There is probably high turnover here as well, with employees and owners and managers becoming equally frustrated with one another.

And this is not just happening in local coffee shops or retail environments, this is happening all over corporate America as well. So, we have to ask ourselves, which battle is it that we are choosing to fight? Is it the fact that we see our staff or team members with their heads down on their cell phone that bothers us? Or should we be asking if their work is 100 percent complete and have they already done more than they were asked to do?

Again, if clear office policies

and procedures are communicated and enforced, these should be a non-issue. If consequences for being distracted during work and not meeting deadlines are carried out, these also become non-issues. And this is not only happening at the new employee or younger employee level. We are seeing more and more senior leaders and managers on their phones as well. It’s the way we are communicating in our world.

Many of the CEOs and executives that I personally interact with prefer communicating via text.

It’s faster and more efficient.

The point is this, let’s not get so hung up on the person looking at their phones. Instead, let’s focus on their productivity, their contributions to the team or project, their attitude, and their overall performance. The battle we choose to fight should be based on these criteria, and not because someone has their head down.

They could be texting a customer,

researching a problem, watching a quick work-related video, or keeping up with current events.

And yes, they might be texting or on social media too, and as long as it’s not distracting others or impacting their performance, it shouldn’t be the battle we have to fight.

So how about you? Does watching someone on their phone just get you all twisted up? Have you clarified your own policies around the use of phones and technology at work or at home?

Either way, and as always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can set proper expectations and choose the right battlefields, it really will be a better than good week.

FIREWORKS Since 2010, Denver’s Civic Center Conservancy firework show has been one of the top July 4 events in the metro area.

COURTESY OF CIVIC CENTER CONSERVANCY

Fourth of July means many opportunities for family fun around metro area

ndependence Day offers a wealth of options for those looking to see the night sky lit up with color and sound.

One of the biggest celebrations has been held at Denver’s Civic Center Park for the last eight years, and this year’s is shaping up to be bigger than ever. On July 3, the free event features Chris Daniels and the Kings along

with the 101st Army Band of the Colorado National Guard. There will also be vendors, games and more.

Produced by nonprofit Civic Center Conservancy with many partners, the evening ends with the longest rooftop fireworks finale in the concert’s history. The Denver City and County Building adds to the entertainment with a synchronized light show.

“A National Historic Landmark, Denver’s Civic Center Park is the perfect place for a patriotic celebration that connects us as a community to both the past and present,” said Amanda Johnson, marketing coordinator with the Conservancy. “Having 100,000 people gathered together to take in the music, lights & fireworks in

such an urban setting is truly unique, and it’s an awe-inspiring experience.”

Some of the biggest firework shows are also the longest running.

Take Bandimere Speedway’s annual Fourth of July event, which has been around since its first “Family Festival” 20 years ago.

“After three years the Family Festival was combined with another existing event, the `Jet Car Nationals,’” said John “Sporty” Bandimere III, general manager of the speedway.

“Combining the two events brought together the best from both events making July 4 one of the largest attended races on our schedule.”

WHERE TO GO?

ariety is the name of the game in the Lakewood Cultural Center’s newly announced LCC Presents 2018-2019 season.

Beginning in September, the season will bring a range of performances, including music, dance and theater. It starts out on a Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28 and 29, with The Flying Karamazov Brothers, who bring juggling feats, laugh-out-loud comedy and wild theatrics to the stage.

There’s also the opportunity for audiences Clarke Reader to learn hands-on about the form with an African dance workshop led by two members of Nobuntu that afternoon.

From there, Aquila Theatre presents “Frankenstein” on a Thursday and Friday, Nov. 8 and 9, then Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas on Saturday, Nov. 17, and the year ends with the return of Timothy P. and The Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2.

Goodson Recreation Center boasts new sculpture Art-on-Loan program brings stimulating works to South Suburban facilities

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many years, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s special Public Art Committee has provided recreation to stimulate the mind, not just the body — in the form of public sculpture. It can catch the eye of an individual or family on the way into a recreation center to swim or invite a leisurely up-close visit — and in some cases, a pat …

The latest Art-on-Loan sculptures continue a good program which allows for public art that enriches the surroundings at the recreation centers and gives artists a place to display their work — and possibly sell it — an ongoing issue for sculptors of outdoor works …

The pat is certainly in order with Collette Pitcher’s newly placed “Within Reach,” near the tables at the entrance to the Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., Centennial. Even though it’s cast in bronze, the cuddly bear cub, “reaching for the stars to fulfill his dream,” certainly invites a gentle touch — and what better way can there be to introduce a young one to the pleasure of

three-dimensional art than touching it? Perhaps there’s time to make up a name and a story on a leisurely summer day? Or settle in with a cookie and spot of tea? The little guy seems to invite company — or is he singing a Winnie-the-Pooh song about honey?.

Pitcher, who lives in Greeley, includes birdwatching, traveling and automobile racing in her life, as well as art-making. She is coordinator for the Mari Michener Gallery at the University of Northern Colorado and a member of the Greeley Creative District Board. She is the author of “Watercolor for Dummies” and “Acrylic Painting for Dummies” and earned her bachelor’s in fine art from the University of Northern Colorado, as well as an MBA from the University of Long Island, West Point, New York.

Along the road in from University Boulevard at Goodson, watch for Justin Deister’s bronze sculpture, “Sandstorm” on a pedestal. It depicts clouds floating above a rainstorm on a Western geological landscape.

The artist lives in Louisville and is the owner of Uppercase Design. His sculpture is created from metal, sandstone, plex, foam, fiberglass and paint, which offer a variety of textures and earthy colors. He earned a BFA in graphic design at Missouri State University and an MFA in communication arts and design from Virginia Commonwealth University. He also studied at the Kansas City Art Institute.

Across the entrance patio, on a tall

REQUIREMENTS FOR SOUTH SUBURBAN’S ART-ON-LOAN PROGRAM The artist must reside in Colorado and the sculpture must meet site requirements and be for sale. The artist receives an honorarium for the display. If the work sells while on display, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District receives a 20 percent commission. For information about the district’s art programs, contact Darcie LaScala at darciel@ssprd.org or call 720-245-2602.

“Air B&B” by Patricia Aaron is among Art-on-Loan sculptures chosen by the South Suburban Public Art Committee.

Ii is located outside the entrance to the Goodson Center. C OURTESY OF SSPRD blue pole, stands the fanciful “Air B ‘n B” by Patricia Aaron, which “offers a colorful and whimsical accommodation for small feathered travelers looking for a safe haven and respite.”

It is built with powder-coated steel and acrylic panels, etched with flowers and birds from Colorado. As late afternoon sun hit it, it appeared to have colored lights glowing within.

Aaron, who lives and works in Greenwood Village, has exhibited across the U.S. and internationally.

Her art is in corporate and private collections, including the close-to-home

collection of the Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood. Her MFA is from the University of Denver, where she is currently an adjunct professor.

The Public Art Committee also oversees the temporary exhibits at the recreation centers and has an ongoing program of commissioning works. Included: “Collective Nest,”

by Josh Weiner includes a hawk and fish in a high-up nest at Hudson Gardens; “Balance in Motion” by John King, a kinetic piece that responds to the wind, displayed at the Littleton Golf and Tennis Club; “‘Plash,” a piece made from glass, concrete and steel, installed at the edge of the relaxing pond at Little’s Creek Park.

Committee members are: Jesssica Willcox, chair; Emily Myers, vice chair; Ashley Trunnell, secretary; Larry Lovelace; Vicky Harimon; Bill Hastings; Ada Anderson; and retiring members (in July) Kyla Hammond and Al Clerihue.

Highlands Ranch business plans to redefine an industry Pioneer Landscape Centers hits 50 years, goes corporate

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pioneer Landscape Centers is a onestop-shop for landscaping needs. Above is the front yard of a homeowner the corporation has served. COURTESY PHOTO

When consumers think of grocery stores, popular names like Whole Foods and King Soopers likely come to mind. When it comes to furniture, stores like Ikea and American Furniture Warehouse stand out.

As for landscaping, Sagi Cohen’s goal is to make Pioneer Landscape Centers the industry go-to.

“We are creating a destination for homeowners,” said Cohen, CEO. “We would like to become a No. 1 retail destination for landscape supply.”

Over the last 50 years, the company

has grown from one mom-and-pop shop in Highlands Ranch to 37 retail centers, three plants and 23 quarries across Colorado and Arizona, with plans to expand to Texas, Nevada, and California this year. The retail centers include elaborate showrooms that span four to 11 acres, Cohen said.

The company’s headquarters remain in Highlands Ranch, at 8189 W. Brandon Drive.

Pioneer Landscape Centers assists homeowners with all of their landscaping needs, from designing to viewing samples to buying the product.

Cohen wants to change the way homeowners approach the process.

“You think you should end up in Home Depot or Lowe’s, and then you end up with 50 brands,” he said. “We are positioning the industry to go straight to homeowners.”

Two years ago, Pioneer Landscape

Centers went corporate and has since acquired two landscaping companies: Grand Materials & Supply in Arizona and Midwest Materials in Longmont.

Announced in June, the acquisition of Midwest Materials allows Cohen’s company to penetrate a new region in northwest Colorado. Midwest Materials has been in business 30 years. Its focus on community and customerservice aligns with Cohen’s vision.

“It completed the puzzle for Pioneer inside Colorado,” he said.

The transaction is one step closer to Pioneer Landscape Center’s end goal of being the leader of landscape services in the southwest territory of the United States, Cohen said.

What separates his company is simple, he said: product, cost and customer service.

“We are reinventing the wheel,” Cohen said.

Community event embodies summer in Highlands Ranch

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Raised in Ohio, Sherry Eppers went to an ice cream social held at the local fire station every summer. She calls it “a slice of Americana.”

When Highlands Ranch opened its first fire station in 1998, Eppers, community relations manager of the Highlands Ranch Metro District, brought the tradition to the community.

“We thought an ice cream social would be a fun way to celebrate all that our first responders do for the Highlands Ranch community,” Eppers said. “The inaugural event was so popular that the Littleton Fire chief at the time suggested we make it an annual event.”

Twenty years later, the event is still going strong.

This year, the evening of entertainment and all-you-can-eat ice cream and snow cones will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on July 11 at Civic Green Park, 9370 Ridgeline Blvd.

The cost is $2. Safeway provides the treats, which allows the metro district

to donate all proceeds to a nonprofit.

Since its inception, the ice cream social has raised more than $60,000 for organizations in the community.

This year, the money will go to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Fallen Officers Fund, a nonprofit for deputies who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty and their families.

The metro district selected the fund in light of Zackari Parrish, a deputy who was killed in the line of duty on Dec. 31.

“We appreciate the services provided each and every day by law enforcement officers, fire fighters and paramedics,” Eppers said.

The evening includes a performance from memorable entertainer Paul Borrillo at 6:15 p.m., followed by a Jaws of Life demonstration by Littleton Fire Rescue at 6:45 p.m. Food trucks Mac ‘N Noodles, Simply Pizza and Sokare, serving Mexican cuisine, will be on site.

The event embodies summer in Highlands Ranch, said Kari Larese, coordinator of the event.

“The event brings people together in a fun outdoor environment,” Larese said. “Firefighters, paramedics, sheriff ’s deputies, businesses, volunteers, community groups and families come together to have fun and learn about all that first responders do for our community.”

‘Apple Store for sleep’ comes to Park Meadows Amerisleep’s shift from online to brick-and-mortar shows change in retail strategies

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A mattress store referred to as the “Apple Store for sleep” is coming to Park Meadows on June 23, and with it will come another example of the way retailers are changing the way they do business.

Amerisleep, an online mattress retailer, will open a store in the mall as one of a string of the company’s first brick-and-mortar shops in its 12-year history. The store originally launched to compete with other mattress companies in what co-founder Joey Holt called a broken industry.

“Most people looked at mattress salesmen as used car salesmen,” Holt said. “We felt there was a poor quality … logistics were a nightmare. For most companies, their motives weren’t the same as their customer’s.”

Each Amerisleep store offers Dream Suites in their stores, which allows customers to nap for as long as they want on any of their five mattress types. The Dream Suites have plasma screen TVs to help customers fall asleep and plays educational videos about the importance of sleep.

“We saw the opportunity to improve and add value to someone’s life,” Holt said.

Amerisleep’s non-commissioned “sleep ambassadors” work to educate customers on sleep rather than pushing price tags. The company initially started in physical stores, but quickly moved to online-only to eliminate much of the costs. Now they’re going back to brick-and-mortar.

So far, it’s worked.

Amerisleep’s model takes many of the same lessons learned from the success of Warby Parker, the glasses retailer that thrived in a near-monopolistic market by offering convenience to the customer. The founders of Warby Parker, Neil Blumenthal, Dave Gilboa, Andy Hunt and Jeff Raider, used a survey-based price point as an index for the price of all of its glasses, no single style more expensive than another.

Amerisleep uses a similar tactic.

Their family of five mattresses vary only in how they benefit different types of sleepers.

“Depending on how good you can afford depends on how good of a mattress you get,” Holt said about the traditional mattress industry. “We offer choices to customers, but make sure we educate them on why.”

Amerisleep’s move to a physical location is just one example of the growing number of entrepreneurs finding initial solace online without much of the overhead.

The Care You Need. The Life You Want.

Amerisleep, a new mattress retailer referred to as the “Apple Store for sleep,” is coming to Park Meadows Mall June 23.

The store provides Dream Suites, which allow customers to nap on a mattress for as long as they want . COURTESY PHOTO Amerisleep asks customers to complete an extensive survey to point customers to the right type of mattress without much of a need for testing one out. Amerisleep began by sending mattresses through the mail for a trial of 100 days.

The Dream Suites in its newer locations — three in Arizona, its headquarters, and one in Austin, Texas — fill that void its online model lacked.

But the suites, according to Holt, are meant more to teach customers rather than sell to them.

The move from online to brick-and-

mortar speaks to the general shift in the retail business itself. Retail is one of the largest business sectors in Lone Tree, and Park Meadows, the largest mall in Colorado, is one of the city’s biggest draws for new businesses.

With the influx of those businesses, old ones will need to adapt.

“The tenant mix is shifting,” said Jeff Howell, director of economic development for the City of Lone Tree.

“Though retail is changing so much, (Park Meadows is) able to attract the new and upcoming tenants that are now entering or shifting the market.”

Another one of those retailers coming to Park Meadows is Amazon Books, the previously online-only bookstore that pushed several traditional brickand-mortar bookstores like Barnes and Noble to the brink of bankruptcy.

But according to Howell, the emergence of online-first retailers has challenged other businesses to adapt newer methods in order to compete.

Barnes and Noble, for example, now offers community events and wine tastings to attract customers.

For brick-and-mortar stores, selling the shopping experience has become a means to sell a product. To Amerisleep, that means educating its customers rather than selling to them.

And that goes for all retailers.

“We have a heavy retail presence in Lone Tree,” Howell said, “and all of them are having to think about what the future means to them.”

Mountain Vista athlete is double honoree in baseball Sam Ireland gets nod as both pitcher and player of year

Mountain Vista junior Sam Ireland is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher and Player of the Year PAUL DISALVO slugging percentage.

When he toed the rubber, Ireland was the state leader with two nohitters this season while compiling a 2.72 earned run average with 77 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched.

He and teammate Jack Liffrig tied for the league and state lead with 11 victories.

Ireland has announced he is committed to attend and play baseball at the University of Minnesota

Hali Sibilia named girls lacrosse player of year Cherry Creek athlete is taking her skills to American University team

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hali Sibilia said that while she also plays field hockey, girls lacrosse is her favorite sport. The senior was one of the top lacrosse players in the state and a team leader for the Cherry Creek Bruins, who finished second in state for the third time in the past three years.

“I really like lacrosse,” the Bruins senior said in an interview near the end of the season. “I like the speed of the sport and I love our team. The team is like family which makes it SEE LACROSSE, P29

Vista’s Flanigan named AD after years in tennis

J

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One of the debates in baseball that has been around for a long time questions whether pitching or hitting is more vital for successful baseball teams.

Good pitching is important, especially late in the season and during the playoffs. It is often said that decent hitting wins games but good pitching wins championships.

Solid hitting is exciting, gives teams a chance for comeback victories, and wins are impossible unless a team scores runs.

So this season, picking the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher and Player of the Year was easy, since Mountain Vista junior Sam Ireland was selected as the winner of both awards.

Ireland, who also played third base, was outstanding as a hitter and reliable on the mound in helping the Golden Eagles win the Class 5A state championship.

“Hitter, pitcher, he’s both,” said Vista coach Ron Quintana. “He is one of the best players in the state. He did it at the plate for us, he did it on the mound for us.”

Ireland had a .400 batting average.

He led the Continental League and was second in the state among 5A hitters with 11 homers. He was first in the league and state with 43 runs batted in and had a respectable .900

im Flanigan has a new job at Mountain Vista.

He is now a maintenance man.

No, not that kind of maintenance man.

Flanigan, the tennis coach for the past 13 years at Vista, is the school’s new athletic director.

He replaces Shawn Terry, who moved closer to home to become the AD at Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins.

Flanigan taught his final social studies class last month and will take the reins of an established athletic program that already has won plenty of championship hardware to display.

OVERTIME “Mountain Vista isn’t broken, we need to maintain,” said Flanigan, who plans to coach next season and transition out of coaching and hire a new coach. “Success has been here. The main Jim Benton reason is the coaching staff. Most of the coaches have been here 10-plus years.

“I’m not going to do any overhauling, just maybe a little tweaking. I would like to upgrade the facilities a little bit. We have a lot of the original stuff from 18 years ago.”

So Flanigan will have to polish up on his fundraising abilities, but one glance at the refurbished Vista tennis courts hints that Flanigan is the man for the job that he’s had his eye on for many, many years since he started teaching.

Belarus bound Madison Hema, a 6-foot-2 senior-tobe at Castle View, has made the New Zealand U17 women’s basketball team that will be playing in Belarus.

Hema has dual United States and New Zealand citizenship since her dad, Matt, the head girls coach at Castle View, was born and raised New Zealand before moving to the United States.

Last season Hema averaged 8.6 points and 7.8 rebounds with 3.6 blocked shots a game for Castle View.

She will be one of the trailblazers for New Zealand, which will be playing for the first time in a global FIBAage group event.

Skip the trip to the DMV Coloradans can use Gov2Go for vehicle tag renewals, other government services STAFF REPORT

An app now accessible to Colorado residents makes it easier for them to interact with all levels of government.

Among other benefits, Gov2Go lets residents skip the trip to the DMV for vehicle tag renewals. Residents can download the free Gov2Go app, receive renewal reminders and renew their vehicle tags from the convenience of their mobile phones.

The announcement was made June 18 by Jack Arrowsmith, executive director of the Statewide Internet Portal Authority, in conjunction with Colorado Interactive. The portal authority’s mandate is to provide comprehensive e-government services to citizens through pioneering technology. CI is the team behind www.colorado.gov, the state’s official website.

“Gov2Go, the nation’s first personal government assistant, represents an innovative customer service approach for Colorado government,” Arrowsmith said in a news release. “Gov2Go lets citizens take care of interactions with government in one convenient

place, saving them time, worry and frustration. It utilizes technology to give people back more time for family, work and the recreational activities so many of us love about living in Colorado.”

Gov2Go makes it easy for citizens to access government services anytime, anywhere. After users download Gov2Go and create profiles, they’ll receive reminders when their vehicle tags are due and can complete the transaction online.

Users can show their stored electronic receipts, if needed, until their vehicle tags arrive in the mail.

However, Gov2Go isn’t just a singlepurpose application.

“Gov2Go is a platform that makes it easier for citizens to interact with government on all levels,” CI president and general manager Fred Sargeson said in the release.

“Although users initially will see its convenience for handling vehicle registration renewals, Gov2Go will help them stay on top of election and voter information and government holidays, receive AMBER Alerts and purchase digital passes for select federal parks, including Colorado National Monument.”

Now in all 50 states, the Gov2Go platform is designed to expand as new services become available. Learn more about the app at https://www. colorado.gov/gov2go.

Alfalfa’s Market may come to Centennial Grocery store gets OK for tax rebate from city during changing times for retail

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid a steady stream of closings for grocery and other big-box stores in the metro area, one vacant building not far from East County Line Road and Interstate 25 may rise from the ashes as an Alfalfa’s Market.

The Boulder-based grocer, whose two locations sit in that city and nearby Louisville, would break into the metro-area market at the south edge of Centennial near the Willow Creek neighborhood. And Alfalfa’s would do it on the strength of an up to $500,000 sales-tax rebate from the city, paid over a maximum of 10 years.
