Car show revs up crowd By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com About 3,500 people crowded around 149 classic, collectible vehicles at the Highlands Ranch Community Association-sponsored Classic Car Show on June 20. Cars from all over the map were on display in the Cherry Hills Community Church south parking lot for several hours that Saturday. At noon, engines roared. “Every year at noon, we have a rev-off, where anyone who wants to participate can rev up their engines for the crowd,” said Jamie Noebel, HRCA community relations manager. “Some people come specifically to hear that.” The event was a showcase sponsored by the HRCA’s Culture Affairs Association with help from Highlands Ranch Hot Rodders. Noebel said the event wasn’t held for fundraising purposes, but that it will generate some money for the Cultural Affairs Association’s overall budget. “We’re kind of a well-known show in the south metro area. Every year we see a good handful of cars that we haven’t seen before, which makes for more of a variety for all of our attendees. The show brings in a different kind of demographic, and we love that,” Noebel said.
In less than 10 years, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District has seen more than 1,200 incidents of graffiti at its parks, trails and facilities, racking up $301,145 in damage. It’s a difficult problem to tackle and one that isn’t going away, said Dan Scheuerman, senior park ranger for South Suburban. “About 95 percent of this is just stupid stuff done by kids,” Scheuerman said. “I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing, but people have been doing this forever.” With summer’s warmer weather and longer days, incidents of graffiti are likely to rise, Scheuerman said. Highlands Ranch Metro District park ranger Kat Wentworth said she sees some sort of graffiti just about every other day. In the last year, she and her full-time staff of four have had to report at least 100 incidents to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

Scheuerman has created a formula to determine the cost of graffiti removal, which sometimes has to be done on monument signs that cost $2,000. “It depends on the surface,” he said. “If it’s paintable, it’s 50 cents a square foot, if it’s worse, it can be up to $5 a square foot.” Often, a chemical application has to be used or a high-pressure power washer is needed, and with limited resources, it’s not easy, Scheuerman said. Metro district park rangers carry graffitiremoval packs in their trucks every day and have been trained to use a pressure washer, sandblaster and paint-removal chemicals, Wentworth said. “Our goal is to remove it immediately and not publicize it, because that’s what they want and we’re not going to let them win in the end,” she said. Playground equipment requires chemical use, and because of its porous texture, new paint won’t adhere. Eventually

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
RYAN GAMET
12-year-old cyclist About me I have ADHD and autism. Sometimes I’m compulsive and it’s very hard to stand still. It has its slopes to climb, but it also has lots of easy hills to go down. I have lots of energy. When I was a kid, I probably seemed really different and awkward, but now I’m a building block, which gives me a little room to make an error and then grow from it more and more each day.
Bike-riding can be life changing I have to say what they do at this camp (HRCA’s iCanBike camp for special needs children) is very effective. Learning how to ride a bike on my own this week has given me confidence and self-esteem, which makes me feel very comfortable in who I am.
I started off like a normal kid riding, and then it got hard. When my mom was talking to me about the camp, I was hesitant to do it, but then I realized the physical impacts it could have for me.
What everyone should know I want to be a voice that’s heard. Regular camps don’t understand people with disabilities. We shouldn’t be looked at as helpless people. Disabilities don’t mean we can’t learn different skill sets. People with disabilities can feel depressed and I’ve felt depressed starting in kindergarten. My family has been supportive and I’ve been able to excel through their support and my confidence and courage.
The importance of academics I live in Parker, but I go to STEM (School and Academy) in Highlands Ranch. I like it a lot there, I have my own computer and I’m set to excel in whatever career path I choose. I’m not sure if I’ll have a career in the physical aspect or life, or academics — it’s a hard choice. I could do basketball, soccer, bike riding or swimming or work in math and science and be a scientist or banker. By Taryn Walker.

A three-alarm good time
Fire muster draws hundreds to ACC By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Tim Floyd was right at home June 20 at Arapahoe Community College, surrounded by fire trucks of all makes and models, old and new, red ones, white ones and the occasional lime-green one, all gathered together for the 30th annual Mile High Hook and Ladder Fire Muster. Floyd spent 34 years with Littleton Fire Rescue, retiring as a captain in 2007. He’s proud to say he was one of the first 13 paramedics to serve with the department, which was one of the first in the country to employ them. “Today it’s a big fire department with the name of a little town,” he said, noting that while the population of Littleton is only about 42,000, LFR serves about 220,000 people in a 92-square-mile district that includes Highlands Ranch, west Centennial and portions of unincorporated Jefferson County. One of the first fires Floyd helped battle was on March 29, 1976, when the Wolhurst estate, on Santa Fe Drive where the Wolhurst Landing subdivision is now, burned to the ground. He and his fellow firefighters were on the scene for three days, he recalled. “It was overwhelming,” he said. “I don’t care how big or small your fire department was. It was like, `Oh my god.’” Another visitor to the muster is no stranger to smoke-filled fire scenes. Lisa Edwards was a volunteer firefighter in rural Iowa at one time. “It’s a fun experience,” she said. “It’s neat to be able to give back to your community in that way. And in a small rural community, there’s no other way to handle it.” She and her husband, Kendall, brought their kids, Sydney and Alex, to the muster for a taste of what mom went through. They got to try on real firefighter gear and went for a ride in a fire truck. “I was a little scared at first, and I almost fell out of the truck trying to get on,” said Sydney. Regardless, she said, it was her favorite part of the day. Other activities let kids run through the spray of the fire hoses and even try them out themselves. The Colorado Firefighters Calendar stars were also on hand to sign copies of the calendar, sales of which benefit the Children’s Hospital burn unit. Prior to mustering at ACC, the trucks clanged through Littleton in a well-attended parade. Jerry Healey, Colorado Community Media’s publisher, led the way as grand marshal in the city’s very first fire truck, a wood-wheeled 1914 Federal Chemical Truck. Muster sponsor Ralph Schomp Automotive’s 1952 American LaFrance fire truck wasn’t far behind. Floyd said the event is a great way for people to see what firefighters do and also get a sense of the history of the various departments. “I hope that the people the department serves allow Littleton Fire to continue its legacy,” he said.

HOMETOWN IMPRESSIONS
Park ranger packs plenty into a day Kat Wentworth keeps an eye out for bears, untangles messes
Plans for leaf bridge advance in Lone Tree One councilmember outvoted in quest to gather more input
By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com
By Jane Reuter
As Kat Wentworth was packing her “go-go” juice and snacks, she started up her white truck that reads “Highlands Ranch Metro District Park Ranger” in green and gold — ready to take on another day of patrols, reports and keeping everyone safe. “Parks 468 in service,” she quietly called over her radio to clock in at 8 a.m. Driving down the small sidewalk trails of Redstone Park as she patrolled, she rolled down her window and greeted community members who were out and about. “Hello! Good morning,” she said in a friendly voice as she gave a wave. With 11 years in Highlands Ranch and 20 in California on her park ranger belt, she’s had her share of interesting calls. “Oh, we once got a call about a bear and of course, I was off work,” Wentworth said. She was headed through trails in a neighborhood, perusing through narrow bridges and soft trails like a pro, talking bears. “That’s where it was,” she excitedly pointed. Years ago, a black bear had followed the channel from the Chatfield Reservoir straight into an urban area and ended up treeing itself. It was an exhilarating memory and reminder of a sixyear black bear study she did while in California, she said.
A pedestrian bridge with an 85-foot-tall metal leaf sculpture likely will become part of Lone Tree’s skyline by late 2016. Though Councilmember Kim Monson wanted to delay approval of the project another month, the rest of the city council voted June 16 to approve the $6.8 million span over Lincoln Avenue. The bridge would extend over Lincoln at Heritage Hills Circle, west of the Charles Schwab corporate campus and Bank of the West. It would connect to the Willow Creek Trail, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to get from city amenities like RidgeGate’s Lone Tree Arts Center and the under-construction Lone Tree Library to north-side gathering places like the Cook Creek Pool and Entertainment District. “This will really create a north-south trail through the entire city,” public works director John Cotten said. “We (already) have east-west trials. It gives us sort of the grid system we like to create in streets.” City leaders say the physical connection also will give the community a more cohesive, unified feel. They believe it will help ease any sense of division between RidgeGate, the still-building development south of Lincoln that was annexed into the city in 2000, and the older areas. About $3.5 million of the bridge’s cost will come from other entities, including South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Douglas County, the Park Meadows Metro District, Coventry Development and Omni Park Metropolitan District. Monson moved to approve funding to

Highlands Ranch Metro District Park Ranger Kat Wentworth helps 9-year-old camper Emily Miller untangle her fishing pole. Wentworth helped children at the park service’s Nature and Adventure camp, held at Fly’n B Park on June 17. Photo by Taryn Walker Moments in time from your community While cruising to Fly’n B Park, she explained the emotionally and physically difficult parts of her job, but had a kind of twinkle in her eye, insinuating that the next stop would be an adventure. Pulling up, kids with neon green Tshirts and fishing poles fluttered around the pond, trying to catch trout with salmon eggs. “Miss Kat can you untangle this?” said Emily Miller, 9, said as she handed her a pole within minutes of arriving.
Wentworth’s fun part of the day meant assisting fellow ranger Laura Lacerte with little ones at the Metro District’s Nature and Adventure Camp and on that day, the kids were getting a little dirty. “Look at my worm I found.” “What if I fall in? Should I take my shoes off?” “I found a dead fish!” Wentworth was trying to tend to the kids’ comments as she was untangling an abundance of line. “How does this even happen?” she said as she looked down at her pile of fishing poles to repair. Every day is different, she said.

Goats take a bite out of fire danger The animals spent four days in a Castle Pines neighborhood By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com For four days, 275 goats made the Pine Ridge neighborhood of Castle Pines home. They hoofed, grazed and drank in the backyards of homes, drawing onlookers. “Everybody loves it. The kids are watching them,” said Arlene Armata, a Pine Ridge resident. “A woman who I’m friends with brought her 4- and 6-year-olds and they were fascinated by it.” The herd was part of a new fire-mitigation strategy by the Pine Ridge Homeowners Association. Wildfires nearly reached the neighborhood in 2002. Since then, mitigation has been a priority for residents. The Pine Ridge HOA brought in a traditional fire-mitigation service that used heavy machinery in 2013, but the results weren’t what they had hoped for. “They couldn’t go everywhere. There’s 22 acres here and a lot of it is steep, especially in the back. The machines couldn’t get there,” said HOA board member Sandy Haworth. “It really junks up the soil too. The weeds go back in the soil.” During a recent wildfire-protection seminar someone mentioned that goats could be used as an alternative and Pine Ridge decided to give it a try.
A goat climbs on a branch in order to reach the leaves June 20 in the Pine Ridge neighborhood of Castle Pines. The goats used for fire mitigation in Castle Pines chewed up the weeds and other unwanted foliage and left the grass behind. Goats can also be an alternative to spraying with pesticides. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando “In this case, we’re doing fire fuel mitigation so here went to take down the understory and remove all the fuel for the fire, so we’ll leave them in there a longer period of time to try and get most of the vegetation,” said Donnie Benz, one of the owners of Wy-
oming based Goat Green. The goats were fenced in on the 22acre property with an electric fence for the needed four days, where they ate the weeds and left the grass behind. Goats also offer an alternative to pesticide use.
These goats took on a similar project in Roxborough last year and have done work throughout the Denver metro area. They also work on commercial properties. “The goats’ preference is to eat the weeds before the grass, so you’ll leave them in until they eat the seeds and weeds and then we’ll pull them out,” Benz said. “They never stop working. We say they irrigate and fertilize too, because they go to the bathroom.”

secure property needed for the project, but to hold off on a vote on all other aspects of the project to allow more community outreach. Her motion died for lack of a second. The city held four community meetings, a business owners’ meeting, homeowners association and seniors’ luncheon presentations and conducted a telephone town hall on the project. About 370 people attended a meeting or listened in on the town hall. Most indicated support for the pedestrian bridge, and most of those favored the leaf design over the simpler arch structure. Lone Tree resident Fred Hammer is among those who support the leaf bridge. “It’s going to be used much more than people think,” he said. “All in all, I think it’s a wonderful project for the city. It has to be done now or it’ll never be done. The land … is not going to be for sale forever. I think they

Fentress Architects, designer of the Denver International Airport terminal, created the leaf pedestrian bridge concept for Lincoln Avenue approved by the Lone Tree Council June 16. This photo illustration shows what the bridge would look like from the perspective of a driver heading west. Courtesy art accomplished their goal in coming up with something that’s functional but very attractive and doesn’t block the view of the mountains.” Hammer also praised the city’s community outreach and the proposed financing. “It’s really great we have at least three major partners stepping up to contribute over $3 million,” he said. “It’s all local money, too. These are not federal dollars. It’s Lone Tree dollars being used for a Lone Tree project.” Monson doesn’t believe enough people know about the project or understand the financial implications. “I certainly understand the importance of connectivity and community,” she said. “My concerns were only 1 percent of the population has weighed in on this particular project. I feel we needed to have further study. “At the rate we’re spending money in Lone Tree, our capital reserves fund — which is at $8 million — is projected to go to $108,000 by 2018. Then it’ll start to build back up. If perhaps we would go into another economic downturn, those projections are going to change. I think people need to understand that.” Monson also noted Lone Tree residents pay taxes to al-
most all the other contributing entities. City Manager Seth Hoffman said the current five-year capital plan shows the reserve may dip to about $108,000, but immediately builds back up in 2019 and 2020. It’s a conservative projection that doesn’t assume revenue increases or typical annual contributions from Park Meadows Metro District, Douglas County and other entities, he said. “The five-year capital plan is just that — a plan,” Hoffman said. “We look at it several times a year and can adjust it based on changing priorities or economic conditions.” Lone Tree will be spending a significant portion of its capital reserves in the next few years, Hoffman said, much of it toward the light rail extension. “In general terms, our capital reserve is our savings account for capital projects … so we have the money on hand to pay for big projects, such as the pedestrian bridge,” he said. “Projections show that being drawn down because we do have some major investments we’re making in the next few years. That’s the reason for the savings account, to use it for these types of projects so we don’t have to issue debt.” The capital plan reserve is separate from the operating reserves.

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com For 17-year-old Cassidy Klein, books are something that bring people together — that’s why it was easy for her to begin her Gold Award project this spring by putting together a library at Denver’s faith-based transitional housing, Joshua Station. “I chose this project because I have a passion for reading, writing and words in general. I’ve always grown up around books, they’re a part of who I am and I believe they’re essential for developing who you are, as well as inspiring and providing hope,” Klein said. She’ll be starting her senior year at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch in the fall, and as if preparing to be a co-editor in chief at her school’s newspaper, singing in choir and providing peer counseling weren’t enough, over the summer she’ll be collecting donated books, holding book club readings and concentrating on vamping up her “Imagination Station” library. Joshua Station, which is incorporated through Mile High Ministries, is located on West Mulberry Place and is an old renovated Motel 6 for families transitioning from homelessness to independent living. Klein has collected 200 to 300 new and used books from the Scholastic Book Fair’s Warehouse alone since June 1 and won’t stop until July 31 — her goal is to have at least 500 books to fill her library, she said. She’s also started a book drive with Tattered Cover and has been reaching out to different communities to gather as many donated books as she can. In fact, she received $450 from a neighborhood in Parker to buy new books. At this point, the library is two standard hotel rooms wide and filled with bookshelves, donated from supporters of Klein’s project. Klein is working on designing a reading nook for the front entrance and already has a rug and lamp fit for the ambiance. Also in the space is what she called a youth room with more couches for reading time. Books are for kids of all ages and she has at least 20 books for each age, Klein said. Her book club meets every Monday for an hour at the library and has five girls from 7-12 signed up. Later in the summer, she’s planned another book reading session for young adult readers.

Girl Scout Cassidy Klein filled her shopping cart with $450 worth of books at a Scholastic Books warehouse on June 11 for her Gold Award project. Klein’s project is to build a library at Denver’s faith-based transitional housing, Joshua Station. The money was donated from the Idyllwilde community neighborhood of Parker so Klein can fill her “Imagination Station” library.

We made Shrinky Dink pandas and necklaces and had a discussion about endangered animals,” Klein said.
Projects can take long time Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout may earn and can take up to two years of dedication on a project to receive. Of the 20,000 Girl Scouts in Colorado, 50 are awarded the prestigious honor, said Girl Scouts public relations director AnnMarie Harper. “It’s important to note, these awards can’t be won — they must be earned. These girls are normally between ninth and 12th grade and obviously aren’t just solely working on their Gold Award,” she said. “This award teaches them to look inside themselves and find out what they’re passionate about. They have to find a project they can grow with on an issue they want to tackle. Then they have to find out how it’s tackled in their community and inspire to give back. It’s difficult — I mean, what are you so passionate about you could spend two years and more working on?”
School officials explore meaning of survey TELL information offers good news, bad news By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District crunched some of the numbers on the 2015 state teachers’ survey, concluding there’s plenty of encouraging news, but some areas that merit further study. The Teaching, Empowering, Leading & Learning, or TELL, survey is given every two years by the New Teacher Center. The questions to which Douglas County teachers gave the most negative response revolved around their evaluations. DCSD implemented a new, much more detailed evaluation process in 2012. About 70 percent of Douglas County teachers who responded don’t think the process accurately identifies their effectiveness. About 60 percent don’t think the teacher evaluation process improves teachers’ instructional strategies. The evaluations scored more favorably on the survey in 2013 and 2011. For instance, in 2015, about 44 percent don’t think the evaluations are fair; in 2011, 13 percent felt they were unfair. Concerns about evaluations are reflected by teachers statewide, but in higher numbers in the Douglas County School District. Matt Reynolds, the district’s system performance officer, said implementation of the new evaluation system makes it difficult to draw conclusions between 2011 and 2015. “From my standpoint as a data person, I’d like to see more data,” he said. Low marks on the evaluations aside,
Douglas County teachers gave positive responses to most questions, including community support, their effectiveness as leaders, high professional standards to which they’re held, and the sense that their individual schools are good places to work and learn. Board member Meghann Silverthorn pointed out that teachers rate instructional practices high. Those include the ability to make instructional decisions and encouragement to try new things to improve instruction. Most also said the curriculum meets the students’ needs. “Statewide, the evaluation process is a conversation,” Silverthorn said. “People don’t necessarily believe it’s effective. When you delve into the rest of it, people feel good about the actual instructional practices, things they’re doing within the buildings. So what steps might the district consider taking in terms of tying that together?” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the current evaluations are dramatically different from those of the past. “It’s a lot more time-consuming and rigorous than the instrument of the past. There’s no question about that,” she said. “It’s a lot more work, frankly, to have highquality evaluation and feedback systems. I think, statewide, teachers are feeling it’s been a burden. “We understand this is a learning curve. I think we’re really starting to get some momentum and understanding on it now we maybe didn’t have initially. We think this is our core function — to coach and support great teachers, so … we’re dedicated to doing it well (and) continuously improving it.” Reynolds said the district is monitoring the process and teachers’ response. “We have different opportunities to gather information and evidence; this is just one piece of the puzzle,” he said.
The hard part is, the project has to be on an issue they can actually solve. For example, no one is really ever going to be able to stop the issue of wildfires, but what they can do is invest in how to make sure people can be more prepared for them, Harper said. What sets the award apart from any other is that the project must be sustainable. “I’m going to try to continue to get new books,” Klein said. “Next summer, I’ll have the Tattered Cover drive again and for at least five summers after that. I’ve been working Christy Steward through Scholastic Books to help continue this project. When I come back from college during the summer in the future, I’ll continue the book club.” Harper said her library will continue to have an impact for years and years to come. “These girls are why I work with Girl Scouts.
They see a problem and take action and fix it in a way that it’s going to be fixed forever. I love their drive and initiative,” she said. Klein is hoping the library will be finished by the end of summer so she can hold a kickoff party and invite Clifford the Big Red Dog from Scholastic for the kids in September. “I think so far, this has just opened my eyes to different people in different situations. Books are a universal thing that anyone who can read, can access, it doesn’t matter where you live — you can read the same book and it can bring us together,” Klein said. “Now I can be that girl who inspires others to help our community and it can be impactful for other people. You can change the world with little things like this,” she said. The lover of literature said her favorite books have always been “Anne of Green Gables” and the “Little House on the Prairie” series because she could relate to the characters. “Books have that effect on people,” she said. “If I could tell the community anything it would be to please consider donating books and helping out in any way you can. Just by donating, it shows that we care about others and we can encourage others to fulfill their dreams.”

Change is inevitable, and that doesn’t help As Balzac said, “There goes another novel.” I am torn and Tattered. My favorite bookstore moved to Aspen Grove. Believe me, I am in mourning. Aspen Grove is on South Santa Fe Drive, which is Denver’s version of the Santa Monica Freeway. I try my best not to take Santa Fe. Now what do I do? I know I’ll go to the new Tattered Cover about half as often as I went to the one that was in Highlands Ranch. Maybe less than half of half as often. So then over lunch my best friend tells me that he will be the new dean of the College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas. The University of North Texas is in Denton. How often to you think I will get to Denton, Texas, in, oh, the next 10 years? But I couldn’t be happier for him. He has been the chairman of the art department at a local university for the past 15 years, through upper-administration changes, budget limitations and the metamorphosis of the school’s identity While chairing at one university, he received an elite MBA at another one. On behalf of his university, and the department’s art students, he traveled all over the place, in the United States, England, Italy, China, Cuba, places I have only seen in newsreels. So my British friend, who is brilliant, really,
when it comes to art administration, and brilliant when it comes to friendship, is leaving town. Aspen Grove isn’t as far away as Denton, but it will discourage me anyhow, mostly because of the energy it takes to drive anywhere. Craig Marshall Smith Drivers drive who don’t know how to QUIET DESPERATION drive. I know the sum of this: I will order books online, and I will have about 12 fewer lunches out each year. No one died, but losses can be major even if they are minor. I guess if I were more of a Buddhist I would see my bookstore’s move and my best friend’s departure to mean something profound, like “other doors will open.” It just doesn’t feel that way right now. My gyroscope is off. Right after I found out about the Tattered Cover, I went to a grocery store and spoke to the Brussels sprouts. I can’t stand Brussels sprouts. When I was growing up, it seemed like we moved about every 48 hours. I went to four different schools in four years. Dad said, “Pack your bags” all the time, and I
got used to it. I kept moving from place to place myself, in college and after that when I was hired to teach in three different states. But it got old. And now that I am older, I would rather that good things not change. They do though, don’t they? Continuity is more important to me now than it once was. But there are always Wiffle curves. Friends and family members move or die. Businesses move or die too. Nine Denver-area Safeways are closing. My favorite television program’s host retired. I haven’t watched a late-night talk show since Letterman left, and I don’t think I will anytime soon. I caught a few minutes of something one night, and the band looked like Earth, Wind & Fire. Some changes are predetermined. Obama will be gone in a year and a half. Anticipated changes are one thing. Yanking my bookstore was not. My best friend’s departure was inevitable. I knew that he was actively pursuing other opportunities, and that he would obtain one. Leave it to Lao Tzu: “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Can’t find right way while looking wrong way While working in Houston last week I found myself breaking one of my own rules: I caught myself looking down instead of up. I was visiting a client, and their building was located in a beautiful part of town and part of a very large corporate and retail complex. As I arrived early I had the taxi driver drop me off at the Westin hotel, which was right in the complex, so that I could take a call and work from their lobby before going to my meeting. When I left the hotel and walked to the building where I would meet with my clients, I became turned around and ended up walking in circles trying to find the right entrance where my meetings were being held. And by the time I was ready to leave at the end of the day I had completely lost my sense of direction as my internal GPS experienced a malfunction. Again, I was walking around with my head down and looking at the offices and storefronts trying to get my bearings. The result was that I once again traveled in a circle, ending up right where I started. As I lifted my head and my eyes toward the sky, I saw the giant Westin hotel standing right in front of me. All I had to do was look up.
And isn’t that just the case sometimes for all of us? I mean, we get so focused on a problem or situation that we find ourselves staring down or only looking for solutions that are immediately in our view. We get trapped going in circles trying to solve the same problem, circling the Michael Norton airport and never landing. We get confused and WINNING maybe even frustrated WORDS or lost. When all we have to do is to look up. Looking up for some people can be very hard. And for others looking up can have different meanings. Some may interpret looking up as staying positive, optimistic, upbeat and motivated. They may have dealt with a problem or situation and resolved things in a very positive manner so they see things as “looking up.” Or maybe some of us just see the potential for a turn-around, we see a light at the
end of our tunnel so we may say, “Things are looking up.” Now there are also some of us who will say looking up has a much deeper and more spiritual meaning. They may believe that when trouble surrounds them, or if they are confused, lost or frustrated that all they have to do is look up towards heaven to find the answers they seek. For me personally that is my belief, although I must admit that sometimes I get so caught up in the situation or problem that I try to fix it on my own or muscle my way through it, just as I did in Houston. Whereas had I practiced what I teach, I would have been looking up and would have seen my destination very clearly. How about you, are things looking up? Are you looking up? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we stop looking down and start looking up it really will be a better than good week.

Pet health: When is it time for hospice care? Hospice care, palliative care, end-of-life care — no matter how the phrase is turned, it rings with finality. For pet owners, the terminal diagnosis of a pet is fraught with conflicting emotions, confusing information, and confounding decisions that often are made within the walls of a veterinary clinic or hospital. For some people, this burden may be eased with the option of caring for a dying pet at home. When the goal of treatment begins to shift from curing an illness to providing comfort, pet owners may consider hospice care. Hospice care is meant for pets that have three months or less to live; it is not intended for chronic, non-terminal diseases. “Like the hospice model found in human medicine, pet hospice stems from the basic belief that death is not a medical failure. Rather, death is the normal and inevitable conclusion to life. The hospice philosophy teaches that, when all involved are properly prepared and guided, death can be experienced with dignity and compassion,” writes grief expert Laurel Lagoni on her Veterinary Wisdom website. Pet hospice is a philosophy that emphasizes pain management and end-of-life care for companion animals so they may live as fully as possible within the comfort of their own homes. For the pet’s family, hospice programs educate, prepare and provide support as people navigate the last phase of a pet’s life. The veterinary hospice team consists of the veterinarian

and trained staff who provide expertise in palliative care and pain control for terminally ill animals.
CSU’s Pet Hospice Program
Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences developed the nation’s first pet hospice program based in a veterinary teaching hospital through a partnership between the Argus Institute for Families and Veterinary Medicine and clinicians in the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital. CSU’s Pet Hospice Program serves veterinarians and their patients within a 30-minute drive of Fort Collins. Student volunteers visit homes of terminally ill patients on a schedule created by the referring veterinarian. The hospice volunteers provide pain control and physical comfort, and assist with any prescribed therapies. A volunteer student case manager updates the referring veterinarian after each visit.
How does hospice work? • Patients must have a terminal illness with a short life expectancy. • Your veterinarian oversees the medical management of your pet’s illness, in partnership with a hospice team. • The hospice team provides basic nursing services, quality-of-life assessments, end-of-life arrangements and emotional support.
• Hospice acts as a liaison between the client and the veterinarian.
What standards apply to pet hospice? In response to the significant growth of pet hospice programs across the country, the American Veterinary Medical Association offers the following guidelines for veterinarians and potential hospice clients: • Pet hospice should be consistent with and offered within the context of veterinary practice. • The comfort of the animal must always be considered when veterinary hospice care is provided. • Veterinary hospice teams consist of veterinarians and staff trained in palliative care and pain control for terminally ill animals. • Family/household members must participate in the care of the animal patient at home. • Hospice requires commitment to the medical needs of the patient as well as the emotional needs of the client and family.
How do you find and choose a program? Ask your veterinarian if his or her practice offers hospice care. If not, ask for a referral to a hospice team, or browse the International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care provider’s directory.

State’s economy grows but small shortfall looms Economists say no need for immediate action By Ivan Moreno Associated Press Colorado’s economy continues to grow and the state is collecting more tax revenue, but the bulk of the increase is going back to taxpayers and possibly to mandated funding transfers to transportation. That means that despite revenue growth, the state is in the curious position of facing a small deficit for the budget year that begins
July 1, state economists told lawmakers last week during a quarterly briefing forecasting Colorado’s tax collections. But state economists say the shortfall estimates are nominal and likely to change so immediate action is not necessary. “I don’t believe it to be permanent. We’ll end up with a balanced budget for (next year),’’ said Henry Sobanet, Gov. John Hickenlooper’s budget director. Governor’s economists say the state faces a $69 million shortfall, while legislative economists put the figure at nearly $181 million. Those amounts are small percentages of the state’s general fund

the property that’s damaged will have to be removed and replaced, costing thousands. A new playground normally costs upward of $50,000 in equipment alone, Scheuerman said. “Mothers with little kids don’t want to be subjected to (graffiti),” he said. “The graffiti doesn’t even make sense; a lot of times it’s profanity, (obscene) drawings or just scribbles. We try to clean it up within a day or as fast as possible.”

man said. However, the installation of three security cameras has made a big impact, he said. “It’s been curtailing,” he said. “There used to be a point in time where you counted on getting tagged there, and now it’s different. But a lot of times they (cameras) break. I put replacements up. People shake them or even shoot them with a BB gun, so we put them up higher. They’re worth $8,000 each, so all we can really do is move them around.” Vandalism can take as little as 10 seconds using spray paint, markers or a pocketknife, adding to the difficulty of prevention. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ron Hanavan said the community plays a big role in keeping graffiti at bay. “The best thing we can do is to really rely heavily on the public,” he said. “Our philosophy in law is that we’re a part of the community and they are a part of us. We appreciate it when the community has eyes and ears and calls us if anyone sees something suspicious.”

revenue, which hovers around $10 billion. Sobanet also noted that the state’s budget reserves are strong — currently at $576.4 million — and there’s enough money in Colorado’s savings account for schools to give budget writers flexibility to deal with a deficit. The state finds itself in the predicament of having a shortfall despite increasing tax collections because laws that trigger certain budget requirements when some benchmarks are reached. For instance, Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights requires refunds when revenue exceeds the rate of population growth and in-

Castle Rock recently had an incident in which public outreach helped the police department catch suspected vandals. A total of 14 sites were tagged, inflicting $1,000 in property damage. A group of parents recognized their kids spray-painting a local park in surveillance video and immediately alerted the Castle Rock Police Department. “Caring for our town is a community effort,” said Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley. “We appreciate everyone who shared the videos, and we especially thank the parents who did the right thing, even though it was difficult.” Three suspects ages 14-17 are now awaiting a court date with possible charges of criminal mischief and trespass.

flation. Lawmakers were expecting $70 million in refunds next year and $117 million for the following year. For next year, however, lawmakers were told to expect a larger amount: anywhere between $194 million and $220 million. Lawmakers will have a definitive figure in November. Then there are potential transfers to transportation when personal income growth increases more than 5 percent. But that transfer is dependent on the size of the taxpayer refunds so lawmakers may not know until next year how much, if anything, they’ll have to allocate to transportation. “The economy is doing well and
revenue is growing to the state. We just have a collection of rules that aren’t really working well together,’’ Sobanet said. Laws enacted since the last forecast that require funding also account for the shortfall projections. Economists told lawmakers Colorado’s finances remain strong, with higher wage growth and a major employment gains last year. But they warned the state could see only moderate growth next year because of a slowdown in the oil and gas industry, smaller collections from taxes on stock sales, and the expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in September.
niles and the extent of the damage, he said. Typically the person is charged with the crime, whether it be a felony or misdemeanor, and then, if convicted, ends up having to pay restitution for the cleanup of the public property. Sometimes juveniles may qualify for diversion and not have to go through court proceedings. Sometimes gang-related graffiti is suspected and forwarded to the investigation division, Hanavan said. The sheriff’s office doesn’t specifically keep track of graffiti incidents, as they’re put in the same category as criminal mischief, which includes things like breaking windows, Hanavan said. “It’s kind of the catch-all law for damaging anyone else’s property, and those numbers are high,” he said. “There’s no short answer to how we handle this, because it may very well be that we catch a suspect, and that suspect has actually vandalized 15 different places on top of what we caught him for.”

Stacy Priola lives in Westminster and agreed she would make Breck a destination. “For years, Coors has been the only tour around, and this is better,” she said. “They have more variety. So when people come in from out of town, take them here.” In 2007, Littleton residents fought off a Walmart that had been proposed for the site, which is separated from the South Platte River by open space. “Good for Littleton for kicking Walmart out,” said Matthews. “There are going to be a lot of memories made here, weddings and special occasions.”

S2 FDA tells food industry to phase out artificial trans fats
Highlands Ranch Herald 11
June 25, 2015
Obama administration says move will prevent thousands of heart attacks each year By Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press
Popular foods like pie crusts, frostings and microwave popcorn will be largely rid of artery-clogging trans fats after a decision by the Obama administration to phase them out over the next three years. The Food and Drug Administration last week ordered food companies to phase out artificial trans fats, calling them a threat to public health. Consumers aren’t likely to notice much of a difference in their favorite foods, but the administration says the move will reduce coronary heart disease and prevent thousands of fatal heart attacks every year. Scientists say there are no health benefits to the fats, which are used in processing food and in restaurants, usually to improve texture, shelf life or flavor. They can raise levels of “bad’’ cholesterol and lower “good’’ cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The fats are created when hydrogen is
added to vegetable oil to make it more solid, which is why they are often called partially hydrogenated oils. Once a staple of the American diet — think shortening and microwave popcorn — most artificial trans fats are already gone. The FDA says that between 2003 and 2012, people ate about 78 percent less trans fat as food companies began using other kinds of oils to replace them. But some foods still have them, and the FDA says those trans fats remaining in the food supply are a health concern. Among the foods that commonly contain trans fats: frostings, pie crusts, biscuits, microwave popcorn, coffee creamers, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough, vegetable shortenings and stick margarines. To phase the fats out, the FDA made a preliminary determination in 2013 that partially hydrogenated oils no longer fall in the agency’s “generally recognized as safe’’ category, which covers thousands of additives that manufacturers can add to foods without FDA review. The agency made that decision final last week, giving food companies until June 2018 to phase them out. Now that trans fats will be off the list of safe additives, any company that wants to use them will have to petition the agency to allow it. That would phase them out almost
completely, since not many uses are likely to be deemed as safe. Still, food companies are hoping for some exceptions. The Grocery Manufacturers Association, the main trade group for the food industry, is working with companies on a petition that would formally ask the FDA if it can say there is a “reasonable certainty of no harm’’ from some specific uses of the fats. It provided no specifics. But the association said in a statement that the FDA’s three-year compliance period “minimizes unnecessary disruptions to commerce.’’ Trans fats are widely considered the worst kind of fats for your heart, even worse than saturated fats, which also can contribute to heart disease. Over the years, they have been used in foods that need solid fat for texture, or in those that need a longer shelf life or flavor enhancement. They also have been used by restaurants for frying. The industry’s reduction in trans fats was helped along by FDA’s decision to force labeling of trans fats on food packages in 2006. But foods that list trans fat content as zero can still have very small amounts, since companies are allowed to round less than half of a gram of trans fat to zero on the package label. Susan Mayne, director of the FDA’s Cen-
ter for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, says those hidden amounts can still “add up to a considerable intake of trans fats if you look at the overall diet.’’ For now, the agency is recommending that consumers take a look at ingredient lists on packaged foods to make sure they don’t contain partially hydrogenated oils. Once the three-year compliance period is up, none of those ingredients would be allowed unless FDA specifically approves them. The advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest first petitioned FDA to ban trans fats 11 years ago. The group’s director, Michael Jacobson, says the decision to phase them out “is probably the single most important thing the FDA has ever done for the healthfulness of the food supply.’’ Also contributing to the decline over the years are local laws that restrict them in restaurants, such as those in New York City and California. Large retailers like Walmart have reduced the amount they sell. The FDA has not targeted small amounts of trans fats that occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, because they would be too difficult to remove and aren’t considered a major public health threat by themselves.

New gun store sets sights on safety Iron Horse Armory sells firearms, offers classes By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A new gun store in Parker started things off with a bang last month. A blast of white smoke from a oneeighth scale cannon marked the May 28 grand opening of Iron Horse Armory, which moved into a strip mall on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Plaza Drive. Iron Horse Armory got its start more than three years ago when former Parker Police Department officer Matt Midcap established a way for law enforcement agencies to obtain weaponry at a lower cost. He got his federal firearms license, and attempted to buy the guns at cost and make just enough money to pay for the costs associated with the business. A few years later, he and co-owner Todd Crouse found they shared a “very common vision of a different type of gun store where we actually value customers and get them the training and equipment they need,” Midcap said. Crouse, a corporate airline pilot by trade, said he got the “NRA instructor bug” about eight years ago and began racking up certifications: basic, pistol, rifle, shotgun, personal protection inside and outside, range safety officer, metallic cartridge reloading and shotgun reloading. “I don’t have to watch the target. I can watch you shoot and I know where it’s going to go because I can see what you’re doing mechanically,” said Crouse, who merged his firearms instruction business with Midcap’s retail operation. Iron Horse Armory moved into a 2,300-square-foot space formerly occupied by a mattress store and Sweet Lorraine’s, a local deli and catering service that was open for more than two decades. The store now has walls of display cases stocked with guns from 14 different manufacturers. Iron Horse sells ammunition, holsters and safety
From left, Todd Crouse, Renee Ortiz and Matt Midcap show off a display case of firearms at Iron Horse Armory on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Plaza Drive. Crouse and Midcap are co-owners, and Ortiz runs the store’s public relations. Courtesy photo equipment, including eye and ear protection. With ideal demographics in a conservative county, the response to the gun store has been all positive, Midcap said. “We were kind of worried at first,” he said. “Sometimes there’s a negative connotation with a gun store, but everybody, including the church below (us), was so happy we moved in.” Iron Horse Armory offers free child
safety and adult classes, including courses for those wishing to get a concealed-carry permit. Classes also cover basic, handgun and rifle, as well as more advanced classes taught by master instructors for more experienced shooters. “We don’t just bring anybody on,” Midcap said. “You have to be a people person. There’s no drill-sergeant mentality.” Midcap, who himself has been instructing for more than 10 years, said maintaining
a focus on safety is important, particularly to dispel misconceptions about the dangers of firearms. Iron Horse Armory’s ultimate goal is to open an indoor gun range in Parker on at least 2 1/2 acres of land. Iron Horse Armory, 10469 S. Parker Road, is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The store is closed on Mondays. Find more information at www.ironhorsearmory.com.

Search ends without finding missing tuber Joseph Goodwin fell into the South Platte River north of Union Avenue Staff report
Rescue crews have ended their search with no sign of the man who fell from an inner tube into the swelling, fast-moving South Platte River in Sheridan the afternoon of June 20. Joseph Goodwin, 20, was tubing with three other people at the boat chutes just north of Union Avenue near Englewood’s Centennial Park. The swift water knocked Goodwin off his tube and into the river, authorities say. The accident happened about 4:30 p.m. June 20, Sheridan police say. Searchers combed the river and the banks the remainder of that afternoon and continued the search the next day. The search was officially called off the afternoon of June 21. But family and friends continued to look for Goodwin. A group of about a dozen people gathered June 22 at the picnic shelter overlooking the first of the boat chutes and the area where Goodwin, a Heritage High School graduate, fell off the tube. A statement released to the media by Goodwin’s family describes him as a former Marine and an energetic, courageous, caring young man. It stated he loves his family, friends, girlfriend and Jesus. The statement asked people to pray and ask for a miracle that Goodwin be found quickly and alive. The area of the accident has been the site of several drownings in past years. Originally, there was a 10-foot dam just north of Union Avenue. The problem was the dam created ypressure that could hold someone underwas e
The South Platte River’s swift-moving water roars through one of the three boat chutes north of Union Avenue, creating a dangerous, possibly life-threatening condition for anyone caught in the current. The current swept 20-year-old Joseph Goodwin out of his tube June 20 and he hasn’t been found. Photo by Tom Munds ter and pin them against the dam. The dam was eventually demolished and a series of boat chutes were created. Plans for the River Run project on the South Platte River are to improve the Union Avenue boat chutes to further improve the recreational opportunities and safety of the area. On June 20, witnesses said Goodwin surfaced and went under several times as he was swept north in the river after falling from the
inner tube, a Sheridan Police Department news release states. “Several citizens tried to rescue the victim but were unable to do so due to the fast current,” the release states. Witnesses told police they last saw Goodwin about a quarter mile north of Union, where he went under and was not seen to resurface. The Englewood Police Department, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and the
Denver police and fire departments also responded. Weeks of rain and snow melt have the South Platte flowing at more then 3,600 cubic feet per second in Englewood, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The median flow for this time of year is only 344 cfs. Sheridan police are urging people not to partake in tubing or rafting activities in the portion of the South Platte within city limits because of the swift-moving water.

Flooding prompted officials last week to close the west side of Chatfield State Park, including the main entrance off Wadsworth Boulevard. All boat ramps also were closed, Colorado Parks & Wildlife says. Meanwhile, the sheriff’s offices in Douglas and Jefferson counties closed a portion of the South Platte River south of the Chatfield Reservoir. There were reports of people, pets and cars being swept away, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Jefferson and Douglas County Sheriff’s Offices have closed the South Platte River and the North Fork of the South Platte River from the Jefferson/Park County line to Chatfield Reservoir until further notice,” the release issued June 17 states. “The river is closed to all recreational use, including tubing, rafting, kayaking, fishing and swimming. Due to recent rains and winter melt/runoff in the high country, the South Platte River water levels are high and continuing to increase.” The pool elevation in the Chatfield Reservoir reached a record high of 5,447.9 feet June 17, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said.

The dam is performing as designed with no issues or concerns.”

Belly flops worth the pain
June 25, 2015
Students win money, laptops for best flop By Ashley Reimers
areimers@colorado communitymedia.com More than 25 college students sacrificed their bellies during the annual Belly Flop Splashdown on June 17 at Water World in Federal Heights. The risk of belly injury all came in the name of scholarship money offered by Water World and other partners. The top three men and three women earned prizes for their style of flopping. The first-place winners took home $1,000 scholarships and laptops provided by College in Colorado. Second-place winners earned $750 scholarships and third-place winners earned $500. First place ended in a tie on the men’s side. Jerrell Bellot and Josiah Lindstadt’s performance from the platform at Thunder Bay continued to impress the judges, earning the two multiple perfect scores. Both left the contest with the top scholarship and a laptop. Although Bellot won the prize, it wasn’t without some pain. The University of the Virgin Islands student let go some screams during his final flop attempts, which is done off an eight-foot landing. “The screaming was a way to turn the anxiety into adrenalin,” he said. “It was actually a lot more painful than I expected.” On the women’s side, Regis University student Cedar Bellows took home the top prize, which wasn’t as easy as it looked. This was her second year competing. She dressed up as Disney Princess Ariel and faced the ledge with confidence and skill. “I tried to jump as high as I could, swinging my arms and staying flat,” Bellows said. “For a $1,000 scholarship, it was worth it.” The students were judged on height, splash and sound. Denver Broncos cheerleader Kendal, one of three judges, also took into account attitude and creativity. This was her first time judging and admits she doesn’t think she’d be able to belly flop. “I was really looking for personality and how excited the students were,” she said. “It was a lot of fun to be here.”

W
hen those of us of a certain age think “family game night,” it might bring back memories of gathering around the dining-room table with the old standard equipment like tiddlywinks and dice, playing cards and Monopoly money. But these days, lots of families are gathering around the TV or laptop with Skylanders and Portals of Power, Wiis and amiibos. “Certain video games are good for kids,” said Matthew Herald, manager of the Buy Back Games store in Englewood. “I have 5-year-old twins and a 7-year-old, and we play Minecraft together. Sometimes they’re better at it than I am.” In Minecraft, players enter a world that’s basically a blank slate and must find and create ways to live in it. “It’s like building something out of Lego after you made and molded the plastic, and dyed it with plants that you grew yourself, and then going on an adventure inside it through forests and deserts while monsters are chasing you,” says Bec Oakley on the website www.minemum.com. “If you’re having a hard time understanding what the game’s all about, it might help to think of it less as a game and more as a toy.” Herald says it’s great for families to play together because it teaches about things like cooperation and engineering. “My children have learned to build some very cool things on that game, like structures and how far you can push things before they give,” he said. “And it’s definitely family time. Mommy even gets involved.” Jeff Kokx has a slightly different take. He’s owned Enchanted Grounds, a coffee and game shop in Highlands Ranch, for nine years and is in the process of opening one in Littleton. He doesn’t carry video games at all. “It’s one aspect I pull away from and do not encourage,” he said. “To me it’s about the face-to-face mentality, the social aspect.” Customer Alex Calderwood and his daughter, 8-year-old Addison, agree. “When I’m watching on TV, I don’t talk and I never listen,” said Addison. “And sometimes board games teach lessons about good sportsmanship.” Her dad says they play a lot of board games like Candyland, Yahtzee, Sorry and Operation. But they also enjoy Wii as a way to get up and get active, and the occasional game of Mario Kart. “It seems a little more interactive when you play board games,” he said. “They kind of zone out when they’re playing video games.”

LEARNING EXPERIENCES According to www.scholastic.com, playing games can teach social skills like: Communicating verbally Sharing Waiting Taking turns Enjoying interaction with others

Focusing “The message inherent in board games is never give up,” the website says. “Just when you feel despondent, you might hit the jackpot and ascend up high, if you stay in the game for just a few more moves.”
Pastimes change, but many classics are still popular
By Jennifer Smith | jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pong. It was the first-ever video game, in which you simply bounced a dot off the side of the TV screen in a very basic game of solo tennis, or against another player’s dot if you had two controllers. “It was cool being able to control something on TV, and it was another game I could beat my older brothers at,” he said. Things have come a long way since then, all the way to games like Skylander. In that game, you have actual little character figurines you place on a special “portal” that brings them to life on the screen, where you can manipulate them with controllers. “Just this morning, I had a guy come in with his son,” said Herald. “They picked up some Skylanders figures and a pizza from next door, and said they were going to have a guys’ night.” The traditional family game night has changed so much that even the concept of “family” can be different. Richard Hickman and Jacque Woods are part of a group of friends who met at Enchanted Grounds and now spend more time there than at home, they say. “We don’t have family close by, so they be-
came our family,” said Woods. “We’re always here, or we’re always texting. Some of them are considerably younger than us, so they became our kids.” They enjoy tabletop and role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons or Star Wars: Imperial Assault, and deck-building cards like Magic or Dominion. Hickman said such games are great for kids and families because they teach cooperation, build a competitive spirit and encourage critical thinking. “You have to be able to look at things and put things together, and it builds teamwork,” he said. “Games have gotten so you’re not playing against each other, you’re playing cooperatively against the game,” agreed Woods. “So you’re not turning brothers and sisters against each other.” The Gray family agrees. Dad Chris, 18-year-old Andrew, 14-year-old Claire and 9-year-old David visit Enchanted Grounds at least once a week. “It’s the only time we can all sit down at the same table and not argue,” said Claire Gray, playing the board game Catan with her

Well, most of them sit down together, anyway. David Gray sat at another table, absorbed in a video game on his laptop. Regardless, said his dad, it’s great to be able to all have a place they agree on. “It’s entertainment for the whole family, and they all have friends here,” he said.

Two Colorado wines receive ‘best’ awards
The Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, part of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, has just announced the winners of the 2015 Governor’s Cup Wine Competition, which took place on May 16 and 17 at Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center. The only statewide winemaking competition exclusively for Colorado wines, this year’s competition drew 241 entries from 37 local wineries, and was judged by a panel of sommeliers, winemakers, writers and wine experts from around the country. “I think the wines this year show great balance and wonderful winemaking skills,” said judge and winemaker Warren Winiarski of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting. The 2015 Governor’s Cup “Best of Show” went to two wines, both made from Syrah. When the sweepstakes tasting was complete, Canyon Wind Cellars’ 2013 Anemoi Lips and Turquoise Mesa Winery’s 2013 Syrah were tied. The 15 judges preferred to name both wines as Best of Show rather than break the tie with a vote. Syrah is a red grape variety that originates from the Rhone region of France. The 2015 Governor’s Cup Case features the top 12 rated grape wines from the competition, but new this year is the special “niche” four-pack of cider, mead, fruit and flavored wines. “I’m excited to hear that our 2013 Anemoi Lips won Best of Show,” Jay Christianson said. “We’re quite humbled that one of our wines has been awarded Best of Show two years in a row!” Turquoise Mesa Winery, like Canyon Wind Cellars, placed two of its wines in the Governor’s Case Cup.

Colorado landscape looms large in novel Author’s new work looks at family, Western issues By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado author Laura Pritchett, who lives in the northern foothills, has a feel for her state’s qualities — both plains and mountains. The landscape is almost another character in her new title, “Red Lightning,” which addresses family connections, high desert living, and particularly Western issues such as immigrants and drug smuggling and wildfires. Pritchett’s website describes her as an “author and writing coach.” She is also a Western conservationist and holds a Ph.D. in English (contemporary American literature) from Purdue University. She writes novels and nonfiction and teaches. Her writing is intense and passionate — no cozy qualities here! “Red Lightning” focuses on Tess Cross, who left a newborn daughter with her sister and headed out from what she called “Nowhere, Colorado” on the state’s high plains/desert terrain. Seeking … She worked as a “levantona,” running immigrants and drugs through the U.S./Mexican border — existing in a dangerous world. She hits a wall where things have gone wrong: A major wildfire is blazing, her health is poor, immigrants have died and drug traffickers are on her trail. Time to go home and face her sister, her mother and her daughter. (Sister Libby is the central character of Pritchett’s earlier novel, “Sky Bridge.”) As Tess works through raging emotions, she does manage to regain control of her life in a story that is gracefully written, but graphic about her emotions and physical issues. Descriptions of the landscape surrounding Tess and her family takes the reader onsite. “Out of the window, I see the
“Red Lightning” by Colorado writer and conservationist Laura Pritchett was published in June 2015. Courtesy photos sky is offering a small, dancing snow, evidence of the change that is to come. The flakes spin in several directions, currents pushing the snow sideways. The same sky that offered us red lightning is now offering to coat the world in bonewhite dust ... Oh, Tess. You can find the flesh That covers the bones. Brave people are kind people. Courage is opening your arms, nodding hello to the difficult universe, To wind, water, fire, air, earth.” (End of book.)
Colorado teacher and author Laura Prichett.
IF YOU GO Laura Pritchett has been traveling across the country meeting readers at bookstores and will appear at 7 p.m. on July 1 at the Denver Book Bar, 4280 Tennyson St., Denver after a loop through the Northwest. She has already visited Tattered Cover, which stocks the book.
Sensory-friendly shows are goal of summit Accommodations open world of performance to more viewers By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com “We have representatives from over 50 organizations from 20 communities,” said Lisa Rigsby Peterson happily as she opened the first area Sensory Summit on June 16 at Lone Tree Arts Center. “Let’s make Denver the most sensory-friendly city in America.” Among those present: Hudson Gardens, Denver Zoo, Mizel Arts Center, Denver Art Museum, Lakewood Cultural Center, Strings Music Festival, Colorado Symphony, Phamaly, Denver Center for Performing Arts, Sensory Processing Disorder Founda-
tion, Community College of Aurora, Rialto Theater, Denver Botanic Gardens, Opera Colorado, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Douglas County Libraries, Starz Film Center and more. The meeting was designed to form a network in the area that could support each other in making arts available to children and adults who needed a little special planning to make a performance or location comfortable. “It’s not that hard” said co-chairman Bryce Alexander of Phamaly. He and Peterson mentioned several adjustments: Leave house lights on. Anticipate and soften triggers — sudden noises, flashing lights, loud music. Have a quiet place outside the auditorium that people can use. Give permission in advance to move around if they need to. “It’s not just for youth,” Alexander add-

ed. “Those people grow up.” (There will be a sensory-friendly performance of Phamaly’s “Cabaret,” which is not a suitable production for young children.) “Re-envision people of disability and give them a chance to focus on the productions you already have.” Barb Komdat of Developmental Pathways spoke of “community-centered boards formed over 50 years ago to keep people out of institutions …” She has helped Lone Tree Arts Center to bring in sensory-friendly programs. Sarah Metsch of the Autism Society spoke of tough experiences she had as a child and said she offers an “Autism 101” program to organizations. Alexander invited her to help make Phamaly programs sensory-friendly. She is going to work with Denver Botanic Gardens in September. She invited the audience to check out the group’s “opening doors program.” Dr. Lucy Miller of the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation (formed in 1972) spoke about children she helps and comfortable activities. Libraries are quiet. If creating visual arts, make it possible to keep their fingers clean, watch response to movement. They must feel secure. “Consult a sensory therapist when running a sensory-friendly event,” she said. The keynote speaker was Benjamin Endsley Klein, associate director of the 2015 Tony Award-winning “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” recent winner of several Tony Awards. Its central character is Christopher Boone. While his disorder is not specified, he shares the qualities
of people on the autism spectrum, Klein said. At a sensory-friendly performance in New York, underwritten so tickets were $25, the audience was invited to discuss what was going on. Black walls and floor were devised to reflect the inside of Christopher’s head. Lighting and projections were adapted. Audience members were supplied with stress balls to squeeze when tense. Their response was “powerful to see” and the actors were moved and want to repeat. “We’re hoping to do so when we’re on tour,” Klein said. For one third of the audience, it was the first show shared as a family and 91 percent hoped for more opportunities. The attendees moved into breakout groups, then reconvened for summaries. Questions included: What to do about opera since it’s loud by nature? How to prepare front of house staff? How many sensoryfriendly performances to stage? How to get underwriting for ticket prices? How early to announce? Douglas County librarians told of their enhanced story hour twice weekly at James Larue Highlands Ranch Library, with trained volunteers. Alexander said presenters were more anxious than anyone else. “There’s no blueprint that’s perfect since the spectrum is so broad … There will be unexpected occurrences.” Outcomes? Create a sensory-friendly Denver and on across the nation. Attendees were asked to sign up to be included in a sensory-friendly network as they left.

The writer and director of this whimsical delight is Michael Laprise, an actor and director who joined Cirque du Soleil in 2000, working with the huge organization in various capacities. Mechanical characters indicate the coming of the Industrial Revolution. One keeps on seeing new elements throughout the show — supposedly items the Seeker collected to build his world.

Cirque du Soleil does it again
One indeed visits an alternate world for a few hours under the spell of “Kurios — Cabinet of Curiosities.” The entire stage in the Cirque du Soleil show is a larger-than-life curiosity cabinet where a character called the Seeker, in a scientist’s white lab coat, explores the magical world around him. Cabinets of curiosities were the precursors of museums. Starting in the Renaissance, wealthy people and scientists collected relics, works of art and travel souvenirs and artifacts and displayed them in glass-front cases in their homes. The designers for this show have accumulated an astonishing amount of stuff and assembled it into weird and wondrous objects and characters. A collection of friendly-looking, mechanical characters wander onto the stage — led by Mr. Microcosmos, representing technological progress. In his belly is a wee dwelling, just the right size for Mini Lili, a tiny woman who is an actress and poetess — and immaculately dressed. She is one meter tall — one of the world’s 10 smallest people — and represents his inner consciousness. Victorian travelers appear and dance through the strange universe, reacting to reacting to the sights and sounds.
Monsanto’s ROUND UP
modern materials look like 19th-century technical inventions. A set piece that appears several times is a giant mechanical hand. A contortion act by acrobats who resemble sea creatures is performed on top of it, as is a very clever ”Theater of Hands” later in the show. And the acrobats and aerial acts are, as always, breathtaking, staged with ingenuity to keep the 19th-century look in costumes and props as they soar. Kurios has a cast of 46 artists from 15 different countries. The Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun) travels in 65 trucks that transport 2,000 tons of equipment. The show is in the parking lot at the Pepsi Center in Denver. It took six days to set up and will take two days to tear down. There is a little village of tents: The Big Top seats about 2,700 people and the flags at its entrance represent the nationalities of the cast and crew. The Artistic Tent holds 800 costumes and accessories, dressing rooms, a training area and physiotherapy room. The Kitchen is where everyone gathers to talk, eat, watch television and relax.

Technology is key to piano Local teacher uses tablet applications to help students By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Piano teacher Leila Viss isn’t only about Bach, Beethoveen and Chopin. For her, it’s also about easing her students into using the iPad application Piano Maestro. Viss, a piano performance and pedagogy graduate of University of Denver, first set up a studio in her home after she graduated in 1990. Ever since, she’s blossomed into a teacher who incorporates a different kind of approach in her lessons. It all began with her mentor, Elaine Emeigh, who’s a piano teacher in Littleton. “I wanted to continue her legacy, so I started having labs during my private lessons,” Viss said. The Centennial resident’s students are now urged to stay for an extra 30 minutes after each lesson to spend time doing something on the computer — whether it be reviewing concepts, studying piano history or reinforcing lessons, she said. “When I graduated, the Internet was just coming around. Now I have my own website, blog, and my whole idea of how I communicate has completely changed. It was a hassle over the years using technology; you were booting up the computer, putting in a CD-ROM, and then when the iPad came along, it made every-
thing so much easier,” Viss said. Her book, “The iPad Piano Studios, Keys to Unlocking the Power of Apps,” came out in 2013 and reflects her appetite for using apps to practice note names, inspire creativity and compose with her students. Viss considers herself to be a writer and also contributes to the Clavier Companion, a nationally known premiere piano magazine. The owners of private applications company, JoyTunes, contacted Viss after reading her blog a year ago. With more than 4 million users, the company’s apps are a hit, Viss said. “Joytunes is changing the face of music education by transforming the way people learn music, enabling anyone to play a musical instrument,” JoyTunes head of brand Nadia Hitman said. “By combining music methodologies with the latest in gaming features and instant feedback, the learning process is significantly shortened for millions of children, adults and teachers already using the apps.” Hitman said all of their applications recently became free for teachers and their students, and many of the apps are still available for purchase to anyone. “Speaking on their (JoyTunes’) behalf, and mobile technology — Piano Maestro is unbelievably amazing,” Viss said. “You set it up on the piano (doesn’t have to be digital) and choose from like 2,000 songs in the library. You press play and the student follows along with the piano. After that, you get evaluated and receive immediate feedback. You can get up to three gold stars.
“I use it in my studio every day and I can give students assignments when they’re at home. It’s continually morphing into something teachers can’t resist. When the student learns a piece, they have to practice it all week, and if they forgot how it sounds, they can play along with a backing track. It’s the best reinforcement. They have their very own roaming profile with a picture of them and everything. It’s very revolutionary and changing the way we’re teaching piano.” With piano sales on the decline, according to the National Association of Music Merchants, technology like this will save music, she said. Viss said she’s not hurting for piano students because people are hungry to learn. With 40 students, many of whom are adults who stop in every week, it’s great to see what’s going on in the music world, she said. “A lot of my students are very tech-savvy — tech natives as I like to call them. I have top performers on Piano Maestro who are completely addicted to it,” she said. Viss said one of her favorite parts of teaching piano is adjusting to whoever is sitting on the bench. “You have to be flexible,” she said. “If you set up a positive, fun, stable relationship with your student, you learn from each other. It gives me a lot of tools in my back pocket, and no matter how much experience you have or how many degrees you have, you’re continually learning and growing as an instructor and performer.”
Centennial piano teacher Leila Viss is changing the way music is being taught by using tablet applications throughout her piano lessons with students. Viss prides herself in using Piano Maestro, which is an app that can sync with any piano and offer immediate feedback to learners, she said. Courtesy photo

By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The new tenant in a sand-colored warehouse space at 4061 S. Eliot St., the Phamaly Theatre Company, is happily contemplating having its very own rehearsal space for the first time. “We serve about 300 disabled actors locally, and they are thrilled,” said Executive Director Chris Silberman. “Many of them live in the south area, and we are on a bus line that connects to the Englewood Light Rail Station.” Instead of operating with a 500-squarefoot office, where they were six weeks ago, the organization has about 3,000 square feet to work with. The studio and set shop area will need acoustic curtains and ceiling baffles in order to become rehearsal space, so the actors and director are working elsewhere to ready “Cabaret” for its mid-July opening at the Denver Center. In August, work will begin on a season of five productions, some of which will travel. And speaking of travel, a group of actors and Artistic Director Bryce Alexander recently returned from a trip to Japan, where they performed and worked with theater people on the logistics of producing professional theater featuring actors with disabilities across the spectrum: physical, cognitive and emotional. Alexander said: “We created a vision for touring. The Japanese want us back. We will maybe host them here.” Actors drive the decisions about where they can perform. Some theaters are not as accessible as others — but in Denver, because Phamaly is around, theaters are becoming more accessible.
Big audience numbers
Last year, the combined audience was about 20,000, and they hope to increase to 25,000 soon. They will stretch into some productions that are a bit more edgy, plus a traveling children’s show. “Our vision is to have Denver be a national center for
portunities for people living with disabilities who wanted to perform.
‘Cabaret’ has historical tie

arts accessibility,” Silberman said. “We want to have Denver as our home and ramp up programming.” He is in his fifth year as executive director. Alexander started his connection with Phamaly as an intern in 2009, then became outreach coordinator (more than 30 locations) and assistant director. The upcoming season will be his first as director with the retirement of Steve Wilson. He was looking forward to co-producing the Sensory Summit at Lone Tree Arts Center on June 16. “I’m hoping to get other entities involved with not that big a change in programming. We can serve a whole new population … One in 55 individuals in Colorado — one in 25 children — have some disorder. This will give their
families a place to go.” On July 18, before the opening night of “Cabaret,” Phamaly will hold “A Phamaly Affair: In Here Life is Beautiful” at the Curtis Hotel, across 14th Street from the Denver Center. The benefit includes dinner, drinks, a silent auction and announcement of the 2015-2016 season. Tickets, $125, include admission to the opening performance of “Cabaret” at the Space Theatre and a post-show reception. For information, see phamalyaffair.org. Phamaly was formed in 1989 as the Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Artists League by a group of students at Boettcher School in Denver. They were frustrated with the lack of theatrical op-

Regarding the choice of “Cabaret” this year, Alexander commented, as he spoke of autism and sensory processing disorder, “the disorder doesn’t go away when they become 13 or 14 …” They are ready for adult material and there has been a tendency to make children’s programs sensory-friendly, but not adult productions. There is historical background for “Cabaret,” Alexander said. There were clubs in pre-war Berlin that featured handicapped actors. His approach this year will be to have two actors playing the key Emcee role: Daniel Traylor of Denver, who has severe hearing loss, and New York-based Garrett Zuercher, a deaf performer. (For the first time, they auditioned in New York.) Both will lead the ensemble through the show using their own diverse theatrical methods of communication and storytelling in portraying this iconic character. “‘Cabaret’ allows us to powerfully and enjoyably demonstrate the struggles of persecuted people — both in the past and the present —to challenge perceptions about the world and to motivate audiences to re-envision disability,” said Alexander.
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 22, 2010
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A plan you’ve kept on hold for a long time finally could be greenlighted. But in typical Aries form, you’ll need to be sure that everything is in place before you hit the “start” button. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Others might urge you to act more quickly on your ideas. But you’d be wise to follow your Bovine instincts and get more facts to bolster your position when you finally present it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be tempted to accept the well-meaning offer of a friend to act as an intermediary in a dispute. But you know best what it’s about, and you can handle the challenge. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Entertainment can play an important role this week. Enjoy some well-earned diversion with people you care about. Something especially wonderful might come from this well-spent time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps and playtime are in order for Leos and Leonas who need to take some time off from their hectic schedules to restore their energies and rebuild their mental muscles. Have fun. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Virgos will need to keep an open mind this week about choices that seem improbable. A closer study might well reveal possibilities that might have been overlooked. Stay with it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A disappointing outcome of a well-intentioned effort should be seen as a lesson in how to do it right the next time. Note all your changes and have your new plan set up by week’s end. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Travel plans might need readjusting because of changes in the costs previously agreed to. Deal with the problem as quickly as possible to minimize any delays that might result.

Use their positive feedback to build support for your program to introduce needed changes. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Travel is strong in your aspect this week, and so is nostalgia! You might want to consider planning a trip to a place that holds some very special meaning for you. Bon voyage. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A job-related situation could provide an opportunity you hadn’t considered before. Look it over carefully and see where and how you can tailor it to fit your needs. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Showing strength as well as sympathy helps you deal with a difficult personal matter. It also helps you set an example for others when it’s their turn to get involved in the situation.

‘Guys and Dolls’ hits Lakewood stage Classic New York story is delightful musical By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A New York street scene opens “Guys and Dolls” with hot babes, gamblers, families, an Astaire and Rodgers pair and Lt. Brannigan walking through in front of a backdrop of forms suggestive of the New York skyline. It’s a busy scene as Highlands Ranchbased Performance Now Theatre Company warms up the room at Lakewood Cultural Center with “Guys and Dolls” by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows (book) and Frank Loesser (music and lyrics). Soon, Nicely Johnson, Bennie Southstreet and Rusty Charlie harmonize on “Fugue for Tinhorns” (“I’ve got the horse right here — his name is Paul Revere …”). Nathan Detroit (Brian Trampler) hurries in, looking for a location for “the oldest established floating craps game in New York.” Next, a parade of folks from the Mission, in red uniforms, march in seeking sinners to save, with Sgt. Sarah Brown (Sarah Grover) bringing up the rear. They’ve come to the right place! Nathan, learning that gambler Sky Masterson is in town, figures he can win the $1,000 he needs to rent a craps game spot by betting that Sky (Jeremy Rill) can’t get Sgt. Sarah to go to Havana with him. The audience visits the Hot Box club where Nathan’s fiancee of 14 years sings
IF YOU GO “Guys and Dolls” plays through June 28 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, Lakewood. Performances: 7:30 p.m. June 26 and 27; 2 p.m. June 27 and 28. Tickets: $18-$35, performancenow.org, 303-987-7845. Reservations recommended — these shows sell out.
and dances with her Hot Box girls and we hear “Adelaide’s Lament” (“A person could develop a cold…”). Stacy Baker is a strong Adelaide. Director/choreographer Kelly Van Oosbree moves her large cast through the wellknown story with a steady hand: from the Hot Box to a Havana club to the struggling Mission to the big, ongoing craps game in a parking garage and the save-our-souls Mission meeting at midnight. Singing voices are a mix — from operatically trained Sarah and Sky to more usual musical voices. The live band — always part of Performance Now’s productions — is conducted by music director Michael Bowerman on the keyboards, in his 22nd production with PNTC. It has been said that “Guys and Dolls” is the almost perfect musical, with strong score and good story. It appeals to an audience of all ages and would be a good introduction to theater for younger family members.

Michael Hazlehurst celebrates a touchdown during the Dare To Cheer and Dare to Play football camps, which were held June 20 at Valor Christian High School. There were 16 participants with Down syndrome in the Dare to Cheer camp, and 32 Down syndrome players took part in the Dare to Play camp and football game. The camps were co-organized by the Global Down Syndrome Foundation and Denver Broncos cheerleaders. Former Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey was also a partner in presenting the camp for the second consecutive year. Photos by Jim Benton

The Dare To Cheer and Dare to Play football camps were held June 20 at Valor Christian High School. Nearly 50 youngsters participated in the program, which is co-organized by the Global Down Syndrome Foundation and Denver Broncos cheerleaders. Past and present Broncos stars including Ed McCaffrey, Chris Kuper, Joel Dreessen, Ben Garland and Danny Trevathan also participated, as did Valor Christian football players and coaches.
There were plenty of smiles, high-fives and looks toward the applauding crowd as football players and cheerleaders with Down syndrome participated in the Dare to Play Football and Dare to Cheer camps on June 20 at Valor Christian High School. Former Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey, the Global Down Syndrome Foundation and the Denver Broncos cheerleaders co-organized the day, which included a kickoff by the Broncos Thunderstorm skydivers, camps, and a football game with halftime performances by Broncos cheerleaders and the Dare to Cheer team. There were 32 youngsters with Down syndrome who participated in the football camp and game, plus 16 others who participated in the Dare to Cheer activities. Former Broncos McCaffrey, Chris Kuper and Joel Dreessen along with current Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan and guard Ben Garland were among the celebrity coaches. Valor Christian assistant coach Chris Reese also was a coach, and Valor football players were pals for the Down syndrome participants.
Continental League claims challenge crown ThunderRidge finishes 6-0 in basketball tournament

By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge, led by all-tournament selections Troy Brady and Clay Verk, joined Regis Jesuit as the only undefeated teams in the Continental-Centennial League Challenge basketball tournament held June 17-19 at Heritage High School. For the second year in the 2-year-old tournament, the Continental League won the competition. The Continental League won 25 games; the Centennial garnered 24 victories. ThunderRidge and Regis led the way for Continental with six wins in six games. Heritage, Rock Canyon and Lakewood were 3-3; Legend and Mountain went Vista 2-4; and Chaparral was winless. Arapahoe was 3-3 for the Centennial League, and Cherry Creek went 2-4 in the tournament. Rangeview paced the Centennial League with a 5-1 record. Lakewood and Rangeview were invited to play in the three-day tournament as replacements for league schools that didn’t commit due to coaching changes. “Each game was very competitive,” said Heritage coach and tournament director Jentry Byleveld “The great play, coaching and officiating made this tourney very successful. The leagues present different strengths against one another. The athleticism of the Centennial League versus the perimeter shooting of the Continental.” Basketball games in June provide a time for experimenting and getting to know more about the players who might play varsity basketball next season. Some of the teams in the Continental-Centennial challenge were missing key

players because of previous commitments. “What we do in the summer is look at different combinations, and we want the kids to play hard,” said Cherry Creek coach Mike Brookhart. “We want to find out the right combinations, find out what are the kids’ strengths and weaknesses, and what we think we need to work on as a team.” Byleveld hopes to inflate the tournament next June. “The tournament will continue next year, but may expand to 24 teams and involve both leagues in addition to the eight best teams in the state that year,” he said. “Those teams will be chosen by the league coaches and will be invitation only, continuing to make this the premier tourney in the state.”

Colter tops off a dynamic run Bruin named top track athlete of year By Chase Ellis
cellis@colorado communitymedia.com After setting two state records while winning the 800-meter and 1,600-meter races at the state meet in May, Jordyn Colter of Cherry Creek High School has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Track Athlete of the Year. As a senior, Colter was the anchor of the Class 5A-winning 4-by800-meter relay team, won her third consecutive state championship in the 800-meter in a Colorado record time of 2:04.56, and then claimed her SOUTH METRO third consecutive ATHLETES 1,600-meter title OF THE YEAR with another Colorado best time of 4:46.22. Colter called her senior season “a dream come true.” “The state meet was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to my high school career,” said Colter. “I was quite surprised with my times ... I knew I was fit, but I wasn’t sure what I was capable of. To walk away from high school with two state records is so surreal.” Colter gives credit for her success to her coaches, teammates and parents. One of her biggest influences has been former Fairview star Melody Fairchild, one of the top milers in state history, considered by many to be the best American high school female distance runner in history. Fairchild trains Colter and other runners. Colter said of Fairchild: “She taught me to never give up even in the hardest of times,” and says another of her personal coaches, Natalie Reyes, “has always believed in me and pushed me to new limits.” But her family is her No. 1 supporter,

Greenlaw leads on and off the field ThunderRidge standout was league’s top scorer By Chase Ellis
cellis@coloradcommunitymedia.com
Cherry Creek’s Jordyn Colter is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Track Athlete of the Year. In the spring, Colter won individual state championships in the 800- and 1,600-meter runs and was part of the state championship 4x800-meter relay team. Courtesy photo Colter said. “I can always count on them to cheer for me during a race and be my biggest fans in everything in good and bad times,” she said. Colter’s sights are set on preparing for her summer race schedule and her collegiate career at the University of California at Berkley, where she plans to eventually pursue a degree in either exercise science or kinesiology.
The effort she displays on the field and the leadership she displays on and off the field have landed Kirsten “Kirstie” Greenlaw the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year honor. Greenlaw led ThunderRidge to a 13-4 record and a Continental League runner-up finish behind a leagueleading 70 goals. For Greenlaw, it was the fourth consecutive season of 50 or more goals in her high SOUTH METRO school career. ATHLETES Greenlaw graduOF THE YEAR ated in the spring from Rock Canyon High School, which does not have a girls lacrosse team, so she competed all four years for ThunderRidge . ThunderRidge coach Kelsi Goings understands how the goals can overshadow the rest of what Greenlaw brings to the field. “Kirstie obviously can rip shots, but she is so much more than that as a player,” Go-
ings said. “She has the ability to really lead. She takes the time to get to know every player on the team individually and builds bonds. “(Her) type of leadership is so fundamental to having a successful team. Having an upperclassman say, ‘This is what I have been working for and I want you to join me!’ — it’s powerful and it made a huge impact on our team.” Greenlaw said the team leaders who came before her were a big influence. “When I was a freshman, I had a senior take me under her wing, make me feel accepted and appreciated. When I became a junior and senior, it was natural for me to show leadership because I experienced it personally and I wanted to give my teammates the same respect.” Greenlaw’s stats jump off the page, as she scored 244 goals and piled up 64 assists in her ThunderRidge career, and are a big reason why she is headed to San Diego State University in the fall to continue her career. She will be joining former Arapahoe High School standout Chandler Ramsey on the Aztecs’ women’s lacrosse team. “I am going to miss Kirstie, but I think she has left a lasting legacy for the Grizzlies and the team is not going to forget that,” Goings said. Greenlaw left the team with some advice. “I told them lacrosse will be the best four years of your life; have no regrets and enjoy every moment from practice to team dinners to game days.”

Lutheran standout earns Steinmark Award Willis proved excellence in football, basketball, classroom By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com A friend’s visit put James Willis’ senior year in perspective. Willis, who was a standout quarterback and the leading scorer on Lutheran’s basketball team, was named the winner of the Freddie Steinmark Award on June 13 at the All-State games in Alamosa. “I had a friend that came over to the school that I had grown up with, and that was the moment that I knew there were five seniors on the basketball team and they were all my closest friends,” recalled Willis. “I said, `This is my senior year and I’m going to enjoy myself because I’m going to be around my closest friends.’” The Steinmark Award is named after the former Wheat Ridge football, basketball and baseball player who went to the University of Texas to play football. He was a starting safety for the Longhorns, but following a 15-14 win over Arkansas on Dec. 6, 1969, in a matchup of the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation, a cancerous tumor was found in his thighbone and his leg was amputated. Steinmark stood on crutches on the Longhorns’ sideline 20 days later and watched Texas beat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl to win the national championship. He died of cancer in 1971 at the age of 22 and has since become a symbol of courage; his story will soon be portrayed
James Willis, a standout football and basketball player at Lutheran High School in Parker, was named the 2015 Freddie Steinmark Award winner. Photo by Jim Benton in a movie. Willis, who will play basketball next season at Western State, was the 46th male athlete to be honored with the Steinmark Award. The prerequisites to be nominated for the award include that the senior athlete play two sports, be All-State in one and at least All-Conference in the other, carry a 3.0 grade point average or above, and be active in school and community efforts. “I was really surprised to win,” admitted Willis, who was All-State in both foot-
ball and basketball. “I didn’t think I was going to get it. I was really shocked. My head basketball coach (Ryan Bredow) told me I was nominated, and I started reading into what the award was all about, and I was like, wow, that was crazy. I went to the website and had to do a little research to make sure I knew what this was all about.” Willis, the Lions’ valedictorian with a 4.3 grade point average, passed for 1,927 yards, completed 59.6 percent of his passes, and helped Lutheran’s football team

post a 10-1 record last season. He threw 25 touchdown passes and rushed for 255 yards and three TDs. He led the Lions’ 21-6 basketball team with a 17-point average, and he contributed 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. “I like basketball more,” said the 6-foot Willis. “Part of it is to avoid as many injuries as possible. Honestly I’ve just liked basketball more my whole life. Since I had the option and since basketball was an opportunity for me, I’d rather go this route because it’s more fun. I really did enjoy football, but basketball is my favorite sport.” Willis had to grind his way on the football field and basketball court after it was discovered in September of his junior year that he had a herniated disc. He missed the beginning of the 2013-14 basketball campaign. “I went in for three different procedures and had 10 total shots last season,” he explained. “Right now my back is all right. I still have nerve damage. “It’s taken a lot of time to get to where it’s at,” he added. “It still hurts, but it’s not nearly as bad as when it first happened. I couldn’t sit down or stand up. It’s like an activity recovery. If I weren’t playing sports and I was in my mid-30s, the way to recover would be to walk every day, stretch every day and do core exercises. So I do core exercises, stretch and walk every day.” Willis’ best senior moment off the athletic venues was easy to pinpoint. “The best moment was graduation,” he said. “It was a happy time. You are with your friends, you feel like you accomplished something, you know you tried the best you could and the results were good.”

EDG Monthly Breakfast: Exporting the Colorado Lifestyle: Local Manufacturers The Economic Development Group (EDG) of the South Metro Denver Chamber hosted its monthly breakfast meeting this past Friday, June 12th at 7 AM at the Chamber. The host and MC for the morning was Doug Tisdale of the South Metro Chamber, EVP Economic Development. Presentations included Jeff Popiel, CEO of Geotech Environmental Equipment and Michael Maloney, CEO of Kota Longboards. The morning’s topic was exporting the Colorado lifestyle and both
presenters touched on the important subject in regards to their companies in tandem with the Denver region. Jeff Popiel of Geotech spoke about how his family-run company is using technology to better the environment not only in Colorado, but on a worldwide scale. Geotech manufactures an extensive line of equipment for the environmental industry and are headquartered here in Denver. Michael Maloney of Kota talked to the audience about how his military background as a U.S. Navy Fighter
Pilot has given him the courage to ask “why not” when others ask “why.” This courageousness is intrinsic to Kota Longboards’ culture, a lifestyle company that creates apparel, accessories, and longboards crafted from Wisconson’s Hard Rock Maple wood. Kota is proud to manufacture their products right here in Colorado and consumers will find a “Made in USA” or “Made in Colorado” sticker on every longboard made. Final words were from EDG Chair Norman Stucker, introduced by Chamber CEO Bob Golden.
Norman proudly spoke of all the recent achievements of the Economic Development Group. Do not miss next month’s Women in Business Speaker Series meeting, in partner with the EDG, in which Shannon Block, CEO of the Denver Zoo, will be presenting. This breakfast will be on Friday, July 10th, at 7:30 AM. A huge thanks to all of the EDG members who attended last week’s meeting and we look forward to seeing you next month!
