Lockheed Martin begins construction on ‘factory of the future’

MY NAME IS

DON WOOLFOLK

Runner, data guru, single dad Fatherhood and data I’m a single dad. I’ve lived here for nine years, and I love the community. I’m a rare Colorado native. I grew up by Stapleton Airport.

I work at Arrow Electronics. I’m a data guy. I get to play Legos with data. Honestly, it’s pretty boring — I take data from one place and magically move it somewhere else.

The company’s like the Amazon of components. Any part in the world you want, you can order it.

‘Try anything once’ I’ll try anything once. I’ve been a crossing guard at my daughter’s school, I’ll run an obstacle course, I’ll play chess with the person down the street.

My daughter tries to get me to buy her a pet every week.

She’s in Peak Athletics, we go to rec centers all the time. I’m in Toastmasters. I do so many different things — I did Tough Mudder this year. I’m pretty active, and I work out a lot. I’ve run around the perimeter of Highlands Ranch three times this year alone, just to see if I could do it. I do a lot, but I feel boring right now.

$350 million satellite production facility underway at company’s campus in Waterton Canyon

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Don Woolfolk will try anything once — except jumping into a creek without knowing how to swim, which he’s done twice.

DAVID GILBERT Sink or swim The coolest thing I’ve ever done, besides having my daughter, is that I’ve jumped into a creek twice. That’s crazy because I can’t swim. I live my life that way. I’ve swum before, but there was a lifeguard to save me. Not this time. Luckily for me, and for my daughter, I survived.

I’m active on Nextdoor. I find a lot of stuff on there. I’m 41, and my daughter’s 8. She’ll be turning 9 in two weeks.

If you have suggestions for My Name Is, please contact David Gilbert at dgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Construction of a $350 million satellite production facility described as “a factory of the future” is underway at Lockheed Martin’s Waterton Canyon campus in south Jefferson County.

Named Gateway Center, the 266,000-square-foot facility will produce up to seven micro and macro satellites in one building, saving time, resources and cost, said Jay Bolden, Lockheed Martin Mission Solutions communications leader.

National security, scientific and commercial satellites of all sizes will be assembled and tested in the facility, which will consolidate equipment and allow for a faster turnover to customers.

“Moving things back and forth takes time and resources away,” Bolden said.

“This is the dream building — we have everything we want in one location.”

Lockheed’s Waterton Canyon campus, which sits on the southwest edge of Roxborough in Douglas County, has more than 4,000 employees and design, manufacturing and test facilities. Spacecraft currently in production at the campus include the Air Force’s GPS III satellites, NASA’s InSight Mars lander, NOAA’s GOES-R Series weather satellites and commercial com-

CORRECTION

At a public media event on July 15 at Centennial Airport, announcing Flight For Life Colorado as its 2017 Spreading Wings Award recipient, Wings Over the Rockies incorrectly identified the founders of Flight for Life as Vietnamera veterans. A news story with that information was included in this publication.

Although inspired, partly, by the experience of pilots who flew in Vietnam, Flight for Life Colorado was founded by two administrators at St. Anthony Hospital and two medical doctors. The administrators were Nick Ditirro and Jack Goetzinger. The doctors were Dr. Henry Cleveland and Dr. Boyd Bigelow.

Gateway Center will be the largest facility at the campus, expected to bring 1,500 construction jobs over the next three years. Completion is slated for 2020.

The aerospace and defense company has added more than 750 jobs to its Colorado workforce since 2014, and currently has about 350 job openings in the Denver area, according to the media release. Gateway Center will accommodate the recent growth and future projects, the release says.

The expansion’s economic impact to the area is welcome, economic development leaders said.

Lockheed Martin has nearly 6,300 employees in Jefferson County and contracts with hundreds of local suppliers, said Leigh Seeger, interim president of Jefferson County Economic Development Corp.

She added that with high average salaries, employees tend to have more disposable income to spend.

“The economic impact of Lockheed Martin to Jefferson County is significant,” Seeger said.

Innovative features inside Gateway Center include paperless operations, virtual reality design and 3D printing.

Rick Ambrose, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems, calls Gateway Center a “factory of the future.”

“We’ll be able to build satellites that communicate with front-line troops, explore other planets and support unique missions,” Ambrose said in the media release. “We’re transforming every aspect of our operations to help our customers stay ahead of a rapidly-changing landscape.”

Thrift back in style at Woodlawn Arc replaces Savers with great deals for a good cause

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a six-month hiatus, thrift store chic is back in style at Woodlawn Shopping Center.

Arc Thrift Store will hold the grand opening for its new store at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 7 at 1400 W. Littleton Blvd., in the distinctive swoop-roofed old Safeway building.

The building was home to a Savers thrift store until March, when the chain abruptly closed all its Colorado stores, citing poor sales in the region.

Arc, on the other hand, is on the ascent: the Littleton store is the chain’s 26th location, with the 27th opening later this year and several more in the works.

“The new store is beautiful,” said cashier Aimee Rathburn, who also worked at Savers before it closed. “It’s clean, it smells good — it’s a very upbeat attitude. It helps

Jennifer Jennings strikes a pose with her newfound parasol. She used to frequent the old Savers store, and was thrilled to find the new Arc up and running.

DAVID GILBERT a lot of people who don’t have the money to go to Macy’s.

That’s a lot of people in our society.”

Working with developmentally disabled Arc Thrift Stores are the fundraising wing of Arc of the United States, a nationwide nonprofit that funds advocacy programs for people with developmental disabilities. Three hundred of Arc’s 1,500 Colorado employees

have developmental disabilities, including an anticipated 10 to 15 employees out of 40 or so at the Littleton store.

“Almost to a person, they tend to be appreciative and loving,” said Arc of Colorado CEO Lloyd Lewis. “They love their jobs, they hate to miss work and love to contribute whatever they can. They think if they miss work for a day the store will collapse.”

Lewis came to Arc from the corporate world in 2005. He

became involved after his son Kennedy was born with Down syndrome in 2003.

“When I first started, I would meet our intellectually disabled employees, and I would come away from the meetings thinking, ‘Who’s really disabled?’ ” Lewis said.

“Me, the aggressive Type-A business guy, or these people who tend to be very gentle and appreciative? It gave me a different perspective.”

Arc helps developmentally disabled people find jobs, housing, medical services and education, Lewis said.

Arc also hosts “Arc University,” a series of life skills classes for its developmentally disabled employees, covering topics like money management, computers and pet care.

“When they walk across the stage at graduation,” Lewis said, “you’d think it was Harvard from the way they react when we hand them their certificates of participation.”

Arc of Colorado has a Littleton connection: CFO Bruce Stahlman is a former Littleton city council member.

“This is going to be a great spot for us,” Lewis said. “Littletonians are very generous,

and people like our mission and the way we operate our stores.”

‘An amazing karma’ Arc also bucks the thrift store stereotype, Rathburn said.

“We’re very picky in the back about what we put out,” Rathburn said. “If it’s torn, filthy, raggedy, smelly or covered in cat hair, it doesn’t come out on the floor.”

Arc’s soft opening kicked off on Aug. 28, and within a few hours the store was filled with shoppers, mostly passersby.

“We set this up in five weeks, from bare bones to what you see here,” said store manager George Dorman.

“This building has an amazing karma about it.”

Shoppers were already unearthing treasures.

“Check out this umbrella thing — do you think it’s really old?” asked Jennifer Jennings, as she unfurled an antique-looking parasol.

“Hold it — it’s well made, right? That’s what I love about thrifting. It’s more fun to go through a bunch of stuff. You never know what you’ll find.”

Detox center proposal gets renewed attention Old idea to build withdrawal management facility in south metro gets new look

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local law enforcement and emergency medical service providers are exploring the idea of building a new social detox facility — also called a withdrawal management center — somewhere in Arapahoe or Douglas counties, which they say would make their lives easier and help those admitted to the facilities by shortening the distance to access services.

Social detox facilities provide a safe place for people overly inebriated on drugs and alcohol to sober up. Stays in the facilities are usually less than 48 hours, and professionals such as addiction counselors and social workers are on hand to help connect them with resources.

The metro area has four such facilities in Adams County, Jefferson County, Denver and Aurora.

But only the Aurora location is used

by Arapahoe and Douglas county sheriff ’s deputies and area police departments.

The 30-bed facility, East Side Detox and Recovery Services, is located at 1290 S. Potomac St. in Aurora, sandwiched between a storage facility and medical offices, a stone’s throw from Interstate 225.

That means a Douglas County deputy driving a drunk driver to East Metro Detox during Friday rush hour may be out of his patrol area for hours, said Capt. Kevin Duffy of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

“That takes our deputies out of service while they could be helping others,” Duffy said.

He said the law requires officers to prioritize taking overly inebriated people to detox centers, or to emergency rooms if detox is unavailable, and as a last resort to county jail if detox and hospitals are full.

“We’re seeing a lot of our emergency room beds being taken up with psych holds or detox holds,” he said. “That’s not what the ER is built for. And county jails are supposed to hold bad guys. These people haven’t necessarily broken any law other than that they’re intoxicated to the point that they pose a danger to themselves. We don’t like detox holds in the jail, and there’s a lot of liability with holding someone who’s that intoxicated.”

New eyes on an old idea The idea to add a new detox facility that’s more accessible to people farther from Aurora has been around for years, but started picking up steam after Aurora Mental Health Center took over East Metro Detox from its previous operator, Arapahoe House, said Heather Dolan, director of business development at Aurora

MORE INFORMATION Community meetings regarding a possible new social detox facility have not yet been scheduled.

For more information, visit Aurora Mental Health Services at aumhc.org, or contact marketing and communications director Cindy Bohl at 303-417-2373 or cindybohl@ aumhc.org Mental Health.

The idea is still in preliminary stages, Dolan said, with stakeholders only beginning to gather data and examine possible locations for a new facility. The process would involve extensive input from the public and county commissioners, she said.

“Everyone is well aware of the need to make sure it’s in a safe and appropriate place for the community and the people receiving services,” Dolan said. “We’re here to provide a service to the community, where they want it. We’re not trying to impose it.”

Arapahoe House, a nonprofit that operates a variety of addiction counseling services across the metro area, announced late last year that it would pull out of operating detox facilities. Aurora Mental Health picked up the contract to operate East Metro beginning in May, and with the contract came the long-discussed idea of building a south metro detox facility.

Addiction services providers in the metro area are overseen by Signal Behavioral Health Network, a managed service organization or MSO, a nonprofit that answers to the state Office of Behavioral Health, part of the Department of Human Services. Signal put out a request for proposal earlier this year to build a new detox center, and Aurora Mental Health submitted the only letter of intent, Dolan said.

Running smoothly Running the existing facility has been going well so far, said Brian Gannon, deputy director of Aurora Mental Health.

“Our operations have been run-

ning extremely smoothly,” Gannon said. “We’ve had great communication with our partners like hospitals and law enforcement.”

Funding comes from a hodgepodge of sources, Dolan said, composed of Medicaid revenue, third-party insurance, city and county support

Dolan said.

“A social detox center is one step in a continuum of care, and oftentimes the best entry point,” Dolan said. “It’s better than being on the streets, or in jail, or in the ER. Having a facility near you allows for greater use of that facility.”

Location, location, location The next steps will be gathering data, Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave Walcher said.

“It takes a lot of work to know if we should even consider this,” Walcher said. “We have to really get all the numbers of how agencies are utilizing detox centers and emergency rooms. We need to know more about where people are coming from, where the location should be, what the cost would be. It’s not even close to decision time.”

Where to put the facility is a prime concern, Duffy said.

“A detox facility has to be in a place that’s zoned for it,” he said.

“You’re not going to put it in a residential area. Land is very expensive.

The perfect case scenario would be to find an existing building so we don’t have to build from the ground up.”

Stakeholders are aware that some opposition is inevitable, Duffy said.

Changes likely for Big Dry Creek Trail Safer crosswalk likely to be considered; flood fix not yet certain

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 30 people gathered under a park-roof shelter to comment on a plan to remove a part of Big Dry Creek Trail that runs under a street in the Cherry Knolls neighborhood.

The plan, designed to increase the capacity of the creek at that underpass to remove some homes from a flood-risk area, will likely include an improved pedestrian and bicycle crossing above it on East Easter Avenue. It would also prevent flood waters from overflowing over and inundating that street.

“I’m in favor of them eliminating the trail underpass” and doing street mitigation, said Tina Kingery, a Centennial resident. “It’s not a safe crossing, regardless, and flood mitigation needs to be done anyway.”

Crafting the plan are the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority and the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, two organizations that work with several government departments in the south metro area. The city of Centennial is also involved, and officials from all three camps answered questions at the Aug. 29 open-house meeting at Cherry Knolls Park.

Residents were split nearly in half on whether to remove the portion of the bicycling and pedestrian trail that runs alongside the creek under the street, which borders the park and sits between East Arapahoe Road and East Dry Creek Road near South University Boulevard. Whether it will remain in the plan is uncertain.

“I’m concerned about the children,” one attendee said. “Cars just go zipping by.” Other attendees mentioned heavy foot-traffic occurring during kids’ sports events in the area.

Another attendee suggested flashing beacons to stop traffic as pedestrians and bikers cross East Easter Avenue — several people said the current crosswalk above the underpass is

PHOTOS BY ELLIS ARNOLD unsafe. Another was skeptical of the suggestion and said that people “blow through the cross at Orchard (Road) even with the flashing lights.”

Others supported removing the underpass trail, citing the danger of that part of the trail itself.

“The underpass is unusable a large amount of the time,” Kingery said.

Bikes speed around it, and “it’s a blind curve, as a runner. It fills up with sand and other debris.”

Shawn Wissel, an official with South Suburban, said his organization put a counter at the trail crossing and collected data over the past two to three months. About 60 to 75 percent of people used the street crossing rather than the underpass.

The crowd largely appeared to support improvements to the street crossing, which could include pedestrian-activated flashing lights to stop traffic, a standard crosswalk with signs, extending the sidewalk further into the street with “bulb-outs,” a raised crosswalk or “speed table” to

slow cars down or a combination of these options.

Use of any of them would need approval by the city of Centennial, said Brett Collins, an official with South Suburban. That organization plans to recommend crosswalk improvements, but it had not decided yet to recommend removing the underpass trail.

If considered, that part of the project would remove four units in a townhome building from the 100-year floodplain in the area, according to Paul Danley, an official with the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority.

Being in a 100-year floodplain, a high-risk flood zone, means there’s a 1 percent chance a certain severity of flood will strike an area in any given year. That doesn’t mean it can’t occur more frequently, though.

If the plan is approved, it would take close to a year for design and permitting, and about four or five months of construction ending by summer 2019, officials said.

Former mayor to run for re-election Phil Cernanec has held seat on council since 2009

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

District 3 City Councilmember Phil Cernanec has announced he will run for re-election. Cernanec faces off against Steven Esses and Carol Fey for the District 3 seat.

“I’m proud of the work we’ve done with the Aging Well Resource Center, the senior bus program and expanded police facilities,” said Cernanec, who has served on city council since 2009 and was mayor from 2013-2015.

“I’m seeking robust engagement to get to Cernanec a deeper aspect of our comprehensive plan,” Cernanec said. “That’s a multi-year effort.

Folks are surprised by some of the

land use in the city, and we need to think about what the city looks like in the future while preserving private property rights. We also need to deal with fire dispatch and working with our partners to find a long-term solution that preserves our partnerships.”

Cernanec cites a lengthy resume, including the chairmanship of the Denver Metro Area Agency on Aging, a board seat on the Denver Regional Council of Governments and membership in the Littleton Rotary Club among others.

Cernanec is a financial advisor, but plans to retire this year. He’s a trained actuary and has worked for different financial services firms before working for small businesses and families.

A Littleton resident since 1990, he is proud to say he’s lived in every quadrant of the city. Currently, Cernanec lives in Littleton Village, the new development at Broadway and Dry Creek Road.

An avid cyclist and hiker, he is married with five grown children and nine grandchildren.

As Shiou Yun Wang celebrated the 40th anniversary of ownership of the Twin Dragon Restaurant on Aug. 29, she smiled and said she had no thought of retiring but did say she might slow down a little by spending less than 50 or 60 hours a week at the restaurant.

The anniversary celebration at the restaurant on South Broadway in Englewood drew a crowd of friends, family and customers. The restaurant was brightly decorated and the attendees were treated to a number of the menu items that have made the Twin Dragon Restaurant popular. But, even as she hosted the party, she took time out to work, mixing drinks or taking phone orders.

“We have a good staff but I come to the restaurant because I like meeting our customers,” she said. “We have many people who have been coming here for years. They are almost like family because now their children come here also.”

John Hamilton attended the celebration.

“I first came to the Twin Dragon in the 1980s,” the Jefferson County resident said. “I came back because the food was great and because I was always greeted at the door and treated as an honored guest. It is still that way and all our family are customers here.”

Wang said she got into the restaurant business by helping out a friend.

“In 1977, I was going to the University of Denver and I lived on Lincoln Street right across the alley from the Twin Dragon Restaurant that then was on the east side of the 2900 block of South Broadway,”

Even while hosting the celebration marking 40 years of her ownership and management of the Twin Dragon, Shiou Yun Wang took time to handle restaurant business as she completed a phone take-out order she said. “I never planned to own a restaurant but I knew Twin Dragon owner Charlie and used to help him out when his employees didn’t show up. I wound up working for him and, when he decided to go back to Hong Kong, he gave me a personal loan so I could buy the restaurant.”

She said the business grew and three years later she moved into the present location at 3021 S. Broadway.

“The building was empty and the owner made me a personal loan so I could buy it,” she said. “I bought half the building. Later I was able to buy the other half.”

She said there have been changes over the years.

“Customers used to come in and spend time enjoying the meal but now want quick service so they can eat and leave,” she said. “The carryout orders also are a lot more now than they used to be.”

Englewood Mayor Joe Jefferson, Wang’s son, said his mother is an amazing woman who overcame challenges, came to the United States and could be a poster child for someone who lived the American dream.

“I enjoy meeting the people more than I enjoy the food,” she says.

Asked about how funding cuts to the program, included in President Trump’s proposed 2018 budget, would affect her, she changes the subject.

“Let’s not go there,” she says.

The $4.1 trillion budget made headlines in March, proposing funding cuts to a number of social programs.

One such reduction is a 16.2 percent cut to the Department of Health and Human Services, which reduces rev-

Douglas: 53 Lometa Gaskin, 99, holds onto her lunch after receiving her daily Meals on Wheels delivery on Aug. 11. Gaskin lives alone in Denver and says talking with the delivery drivers is as important to her as the food.

TOM SKELLEY enues the Denver Regional Council of Governments could distribute to Volunteers of America and its Meals on Wheels program.

Congress has until the end of September to pass a federal budget, and as the deadline approaches, Dale Elliott grows anxious.

“We save lives every day,” says Elliott, division director of Aging and Nutrition Services for VOA. Drivers give some clients their only social contact of the day, as well as a nutritious meal. Three or four times a year, Elliott says, they find seniors who’ve fallen and need medical help.

The budget cuts would take $307,300

from Meals on Wheels’ Denver branch, eliminating services to 620 seniors in the metro area, according to Elliott. Funds for “congregate meals,” offered to mobile seniors in 30 centers in the seven counties Elliott’s office covers, would lose $192,900 and serve 705 fewer seniors.

Funding reductions would also take more than $30,000 from programs the VOA offers to provide safety-based home repairs and in-home exercise programs for seniors.

But Republican businessman and former state legislator Victor Mitchell, a Castle Rock resident and candidate for governor who has been

delivering meals on Fridays for about a year, believes other funding mechanisms exist for the organization to make ends meet.

One solution could be “to change their model to the extent that they raise more money from private-sector dollars,” Mitchell says. “I think it’s a fantastic program and it does a lot of great things. I just believe there could be a great deal more done with funding the program with the private sector.”

Meals on Wheels receives 87 percent of its funding from government sources, 9 percent from private donations and 4 percent from client contributions, Elliott says.

“It’s not like we don’t do that,” he says. “The reality is we just don’t receive sufficient response.”

Herb Wager, 68, began visiting the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center after his wife died in May, and enjoys the fellowship as much as the food. He’s an unaffiliated voter and leans Republican, but like Elliott, he disagrees that private corporations or citizens can fill the gaps federal cuts would create.

“It won’t get done,” the Castle Rock resident says. “It would be nice in an ideal situation, but it’s not an ideal world.”

On a sunny Tuesday in August, Wager talks over baked chicken with Buzz Bowers, also of Castle Rock. Bowers began bringing his wife to the center five years ago when her Parkinson’s disease confined her to a wheelchair. It was a way for his wife to socialize as her condition worsened, and the friends they made there were a comfort for Bowers when she died last year.

He says the fact that the government would consider cutting programs for seniors is evidence of “troubled times” in the United States, and he warns that decreasing funding won’t decrease the demand.

“I think it’s something that needs to be increased, not decreased,” Bowers, 84, said. “Seniors are living longer, and there’s going to be a lot more of us.”

Dale Elliott, division director for Aging and Nutrition Services for the Volunteers of America, has a laugh while a kettle at the Denver VOA kitchen gets a wash. Elliott says the organization reaches out to private individuals and corporations for Meals on Wheels revenue, but most people don’t appreciate the need for the program until they need it for themselves or a family member.

Wayne Chitwood, who’s been delivering food with Meals on Wheels for about eight years, brings Lometa Gaskin her daily serving of lunch and conversation on Aug. 11. Chitwood says most clients don’t have any social interaction beyond the daily deliveries. “They’re always very appreciative,” he says. “That’s why I’m doing it.”

Juvenile found dead at Mark Twain Elementary

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Powell Middle School student died in an apparent suicide that occurred on Mark Twain Elementary School grounds about 6 p.m. Aug. 30, Arapahoe County officials said.

An adult male found the juvenile at the school on South Franklin Street and called police at 5:59 p.m. Aug. 30, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office. Officials have not released the juvenile’s name, age or gender.

The juvenile was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.

The death is the second suicide of a Littleton Public Schools student this week. An Arapahoe High School student died by suicide, not on school grounds, on Aug. 29, Superintendent Brian Ewert said in a letter sent to parents on Aug. 31.

“Our hearts are heavy as we continue to support all of our students and their families,” Ewert said. “It is human nature to feel frustration, anger and fear and to look for rationale when people in

Many have lost their way since phones became things to look at QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

O

ut of necessity, my college syllabi expanded by the month, as new infractions were coming in all the time.

My first syllabus, in 1973, asked for no smoking, and that was about it.

By the end (2003), the list went on for about six pages.

No automatic weapons. No shouting, “I am the Messiah.” And no cellphone calls.

Cellphones weren’t on the market in 1973 — that’s why they weren’t on the list back then.

Hard to believe now — isn’t it? — that there was a time before mobile devices?

Unless you were Dick Tracy. Tracy used to talk to his wrist.

Ironically, the first mobile phone call was

made in 1973.

On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, a senior engineer at Motorola, “called a rival company and informed them he was speaking on a mobile phone (knowyourmobile.com),” albeit one about the size of a hiking boot.

It’s untrue that he said, “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?,” or asked for a medium, hand-tossed with everything.

While Cooper was on the phone, he reached for his coffee, misjudged the handle, and dropped and broke the cup. It was the first instance of what is now referred to as “distracted talking.”

Distracted talking is illegal in Honolulu.

Stamford, Connecticut, may be next.

I like it. Give me more.

I admit that I am old-fashioned, and prefer it when people pay attention, and watch where they are going. But those days aren’t numbered.

Those days are over.

I can’t get from produce to frozen foods without pushing my cart defensively, because someone is making a life-changing call or a life-changing text and wandering in the aisles.

In Honolulu (of all places), smartphone use is illegal by pedestrians crossing streets.

Inevitably, there was a backlash.

in standing up, and good for those who outwaited the spoiled brats who were shouting and disturbing a peaceful conversation. What has happened to civil discourse? Is there such a thing?

Read the First Amendment, people, and let us start there. Or read and apply the column by Michael Norton in the same issue and take his wisdom, kindness and openness to someone else’s ideas to the next town hall meeting.

t is not a matter of devastation or disaster hitting us or someone we love at some point, it is just a matter of when. That is a reality and although this column always WINNING focuses on sharing WORDS a positive message, there are just sometimes when positive or flowery words are the last thing someone wants to hear. And that’s OK, because what someone who is facing devastation Michael Norton or disaster really needs is for us to be present in some way and to listen more than talk.

Many of us respond quickly with a donation of money when a natural disaster or some sort of catastrophic event happens. Others in the community are “doers” and they jump into action to do manual labor, volunteer at a shelter, and offer their time without even thinking about it, it is just how they are wired.

We all respond differently and that’s OK too. Some people are prayer warriors and spend hours praying for those facing the storms of life. Some of us are the people who rally others around a cause, they are the cheerleaders and

champions who make sure the rest of us are doing are part and getting things done.

And as we all know, and hopefully always appreciate, there are the men and women on the front lines as first responders and all of the police officers, EMTs, firefighters, nurses, doctors, military personnel, rescue workers, the Red Cross, FEMA and other agencies who come from near and far to aid us as they battle floods, fires, terror attacks and any other threat to our communities. A big shout-out to each and every one of these heroes.

It’s not always about being the hero, so I would like to encourage anyone who may feel like they never know what to do when it comes to offering help or volunteering in some way to remember that it’s not the size of the effort that counts, it’s any effort at all that counts. Don’t feel or become paralyzed by confusion around what to do or how you can help. You may not be in a position to help many, but every little effort, every single dollar donated, every call you make or every call you take is appreciated by someone.

Even if your effort benefits or helps in some small way just one person or family, it matters. You may say, “Well what difference can my small donation make?” Or, “How can

ailgates. Pep rallies. Friday night lights. The new school year is here! And that’s exciting news for studentathletes and high school sports fans alike.

Research shows that being a student-athlete is about a lot more than fun and games. It teaches important life lessons, too. In fact, high school athletes not only have higher grade-point averages and fewer school absences than nonathletes, they also develop the kind of work habits and self-discipline skills that help them become more responsible and productive community members.

Attending high school sporting events teaches important life lessons, too.

“Why should the government dictate where I look?” one person said.

When a distracted driver flattens a distracted talker, who is a fault?

Further, who cares?

According to data compiled by the Governors Highway Safety Association, pedestrian deaths in the United States have been on the rise, and the two highest years were 2015 and 2016.

Statistics don’t show if the pedestrians were distracted, but Richard Retting, a former traffic safety commissioner for the New York Department of Transportation, said, “When you keep records for 40 years and see two consecutive years with the back-to-back largest, that tells you something. I don’t think it’s a leap of faith when you look at the increase in cellphone usage.”

Among them, it teaches that we can live in different communities, come from different backgrounds, faiths and cultures, cheer for different teams, and still have a common bond.

That’s why attending the activities hosted by your high school this fall is so important. It’s not only an opportunity to cheer for your hometown team, it is also an opportunity to celebrate our commonality. And that’s something our country needs right now.

The bond we share is mutually supporting the teenagers in

few days or weeks to lend a hand, back, and shoulder to help others in need? I would love to hear your helping story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can all come together for the greater good, and not just in times of disaster and devastation, it really will be a better than good week.

our respective communities.

We applaud their persistence, tenacity, preparation and hard work, regardless of the color of the uniform they wear. We acknowledge that education-based, high school sports are enhancing their lives, and ours, in ways that few other activities could. And we agree that, regardless of what side of the field we sit on, attending a high school sporting event is an uplifting, enriching, familyfriendly experience for all of us.

Many of the high schools in our state lie at the heart of the communities they serve. They not only are educating our next generation of leaders, they also are a place where we congregate, where people from every corner

of town and all walks of life come together as one. And at no time is this unity more evident than during a high school athletic event.

This is the beginning of a new school year. Opportunities abound in the classroom and outside it. Let’s make the most of them by attending as many athletic events at the high school in our community as possible.

Turn on the lights, and let the games begin!

Suspect arrested in cold-case slaying of deputy district attorney Robert Williams, 70, still lived in complex where murder occurred

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Investigators have arrested a 70-year-old man as a suspect in the murder of an 18th Judicial District deputy district attorney that occurred 18 years ago, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office announced Aug. 30.

Rebecca Bartee was found dead at the age of 41 in her apartment in the 6500 block of South Dayton Street in Centennial on June 9, 1999.

A Denver-area news reporter in February of this year contacted law enforcement after a tipster provided

the reporter information, the sheriff ’s office said, and as a result, new evidence led to Robert Williams being identified as a suspect.

Investigators arrested Williams Aug. 29. He was living in the same apartment building Williams where Bartee was killed. Williams lived there at the time of the murder, said Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office, and to her knowledge he had not moved since then.

According to previous Bartee news reports, authorities said the murder was staged to look like a suicide, with a bottle of anti-depressant

pills set on the bathroom sink next to the bathtub where Bartee was submerged. A glass of wine sat in her living room, but an autopsy revealed she had no wine in her body, and authorities did not find any wine bottles in her home, according to the news reports.

After Williams’ arrest, authorities booked him into the Arapahoe County Detention Facility on a charge of first-degree murder. He was being held without bond.

A few residents of the apartment complex where Williams lives who talked to the Colorado Community Media said they did not know Williams and had not heard of the arrest. An employee at the complex was not allowed to discuss it. A man who appeared to live near Williams said he knows him, but did not wish to comment.

She pursued parents who did not pay their court-ordered child support for Arapahoe County.

A few days after her death, her co-workers went to her home looking for a case file and instead found Bartee dead in her bathtub.

The ensuing investigation and coroner’s information estimated that Bartee died after arriving home from work Friday, June 4, 1999, and that homicide was the likely cause of death.

Learning about the Broncos and the bees

Hives of honeybees humming at Dove Valley training facility

‘BEE’ EDUCATED Resources: • The Colorado State Beekeepers Association coloradobeekeepers.org Beekeeping clubs: • DenverBee-Denver denverbees@gmail.com DenverBee.org • High Land Beekeeping Club-Highlands Ranch/Littleton HLBKC1@gmail.com highlandbeekeepingclub.org • Southeast Beekeeping Club-The Pinery suehuseby@gmail.com southeastbeekeepingclub.org

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

here’s been a lot of talk about the upcoming Denver Broncos season, and the names Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian and John Elway have all been in the news.

But the real buzz at the Broncos’ Dove Valley training facility in unincorporated Arapahoe County is the work of Joe Komperda.

On a bright August morning, hours before the team will take the field for a pre-season game at Sports Authority Field, Komperda gracefully manipulates trays covered with honey, wax and thousands of crawling bees, seemingly oblivious to a cloud of the disgruntled insects zipping about his body.

“My first year I got stung seven times, and the next year I got stung seven times in the first week, so I stopped counting,” he said with a smile. “It just happens sometimes.”

The 60-year-old Parker resident took up beekeeping four years ago, and in 2015 was introduced to Brooks Dodson, Dove Valley’s director of turf and grounds, by a contact in the Cottonwood District after rescuing and moving several swarms near Dove Valley.

“He said the chef might be able to use the honey at the training table, and I thought `This guy has a chef ?’ ” Komperda said. “Then I noticed he’s wearing blue pants with orange piping down the sides — and it hit me.”

Last year Komperda installed the first two hives, painted blue and orange by his wife and beekeeping partner Debbie. This year he’s keeping four hives, with 50,000 to 100,000 bees, behind the fieldhouse.

For the team, it’s a ready source of sweetener at the training table. For Komperda, it’s an opportunity to get the word out about his beekeeping and swarm rescue services, and a chance to make an impact on the declining bee population.

“We lose about 1 million hives a year, which is a real concern,” he said. “If two out of every three bites of food come from bees, and they go away, what are we going to do?”

IF YOU SPY A SWARM Swarms occur when a hive grows too large and half of the bees within split off to start another hive. If you spot a swarm of bees, it is critical to the health of the local bee population — and your own — to leave it alone and not attempt to douse it with water or insecticides.

Anyone who finds a swarm is urged not to attempt to spray the swarm with water or insecticides, as either could be harmful to local bee population. Instead, call the Swarm Hotline, where a dispatcher can put the caller in contact with a professional beekeeper who can remove the swarm quickly and free of charge.

Swarm hotline: 1-844-SPY-BEES or 1-844-779-2337

Joe Komperda checks the staus of his hive behind the Broncos’ training facility fieldhouse as guard bees try to find a way through his protective garb. Komperda estimates between 50,000 and 100,000 bees occupy the four hives at Dove Valley.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY About 60 percent of food products grown in the United States rely on pollination, Komperda said, and bee populations have been dropping worldwide from a combination of factors, including pesticide use, climate change and varroa mites, a parasite blamed for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of colonies around the world.

Anyone can take small steps to make a big difference for their pollinating neighbors, Komperda noted, such as using more bee-friendly plants and fewer pesticides in

their gardens.

“There’s all sorts of things you can do to help,” he said.

“You don’t need to be a beekeeper.”

Though anyone who does decide to put on a netted hood and gloves will get to experience what Komperda calls “the zen of beekeeping.”

“When you come out here and open that hive, you start looking at that and just marvel at Mother Nature,” he said. “This is just something that is so amazing and you can’t see it anywhere else but in a beehive.”

Report finds older Americans, women most likely to be regular readers

BY JESSICA GIBBS | JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ill Herr starts each day by reading the Bible. It’s a habit she’s kept for several years with her husband before they go to work, and one she says keeps her grounded.

“Just to read about God’s love for people and the direction for individuals’ lives,” she said, “ and direction for my own life, too.”

The Castle Rock woman has been a regular churchgoer since she was 15 years old but said within the past two decades, reading the Bible has grown her faith even more.

The devotions, she said, are a critical part of her daily life.

At 61, Herr is more likely to remain devoted to regularly reading the Bible than those from other generations — specifically millennials and members of Generation X. And as a woman, she’s more likely to regularly read the Bible than her male peers.

That’s according to the 2017 State of the Bible report commissioned by the American Bible Society and conducted by California-based Barna Group. Researchers issued phone interviews with approximately 1,000 adult Americans and took online surveys from another 1,028 adults between Jan. 20 and Feb. 2.

They found that about half of respondents are “Bible users,” meaning they read or listen to the Bible on their own at least three or four times a year. That figure has remained constant since the annual survey began in 2011.

But they also found that nearly one-third of adults said they never read, listen to or pray with the Bible — a 5 percent increase from 2016. Among the sample group, results showed women,

older Americans and people living in the South are most likely to be Bible users.

The data wasn’t surprising, said Reg Cox of the Lakewood Faith Coalition, an organization that creates partnerships between the faith-based community and local governments, schools, neighborhoods, nonprofits and businesses.

“The survey just seems to line up with some of the things that myself and Christian leaders across the metro (area) have experienced,” he said. “I think that there’s some shifts or decreases in biblical knowledge.”

A lower rate of Bible readership among young people is a trend seen across the metro area.

“That’s what we’ve experienced in our church. Millennials are not just going to automatically give any kind of credence to faith.

They’re open to sort of all ideas,” Cox said.

In response, churches focus on providing service projects or missions for members to be involved in, Cox said, stating social justice issues are one thing that repeat-

WHAT IS THE BIBLE? The Bible is the collection of sacred scriptures in the Christian religion, comprising the Old and New Testaments. The scripture is important to those following Christianity, as most believe it to be the actual or inspired word of God, free of any error, through which God spells out his plan and purpose for the world. Those within the Christian religion are encouraged to regularly read and study the Bible.

Anne Jefferies says reading the Bible is an important part of her family life, and something she encourages her children to do daily.

youths leave for school, she said, and attendance remains strong.

“So we are reading the Bible and talking about the Bible on a daily basis with those youth, in addition to weekly activities,” she said. “We can’t force any of them to do it, so it is an option, but the majority of our youth participate.”

Jefferies and her family study the King James Version of the Bible along with the Book of Mormon as part of their LDS faith. They strive for daily devotionals, lasting 30 minutes to an hour, she said.

“My reading daily supports me in becoming a better person in my home as well as in my community,” she said.

Jefferies predicted the generation gap in Bible readership is a result of millennials’ busy lives, she said, traveling for work and raising children.

Her theory was backed up by the State of the Bible report, which found more than 50 percent of the respondents who saw a decrease in their Bible readership last year named busy lives as the top reason.

But Jefferies also believes many millennial LDS members are raising their

children to read the Bible daily, true to the church’s continual encouragement to do so, she said.

“They know that children follow what their parents do,” she said.

Herr suspected that those, regardless of age, who don’t read the Bible “don’t understand all of the life that it contains.”

Still, she isn’t worried about the future of the holy book.

“I believe there’s a revival to God and his word coming,” she said, “and that it will just be something that will sweep across all the generations.”

‘In The Heights’ won multiple Tonys on Broadway Gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn is scene for look at life

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Joyous music with a Latin beat fills the space as a six-piece band, directed by Donna Kolpan Debreceni, introduces a well-worn neighborhood — Washington Heights in Brooklyn — as “In The Heights” opens at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

Lights come up on Usnavi (Jose David Reynoza, a student at University of Northern Colorado) at center stage. The owner of a small bodega featuring café con leche and lottery tickets saunters forward, rapping about life in the fast-gentrifying neighborhood that has been home to him and many other characters in this Tony Award-winning musical (Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Orchestration).

“In the Heights” opened offBroadway and in 2010 moved uptown with Lin Manuel Miranda in the Usnavi de La Vega role — in the show which he conceived, also creating the music and lyrics.

‘TREET SIGHTS’ ART SHOW TO COMPLEMENT PLAY In Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery, an art exhibit by Lisa DiAmor Sanchez and Elayne Moseley is called “Street Sights” and is planned to tie in with the musical about a city neighborhood that is playing upstairs: “In the Heights.”

Di Amor Sanchez expresses herself by incorporating text in layers of paint. “I am inspired by the diverse layers of the past hidden beneath layers of pain in our cities — and the possibility of change and vibrancy that change brings,” she writes. “A

how they see and interact with it. Frequently there is a mystery or spiritual aspect that develops with a painting. Because of this element, I have titled these paintings in different languages, often referring to its style, structure, or perhaps its underlying nature,” she writes.

background in psychology helps to provide me with an understanding of how powerful the written word can be and why I use it so frequently in my art.”

Each painting tells a story, she adds.

Moseley, Texas-born, but a longtime Colorado resident, teaches at Art Students League of Denver. She exhibits works from her “Architecture Lingua” series. “Art is a reflection of how an artist sees and feels then translates into a visual medium.” In the new series, she wants the viewer “to consider

“Street Sights” will be in Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery through Oct. 9. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances. Admission is free. Town Hall is at 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton.

Claudia (Margi Lamb) has watched over younger neighborhood people, helping with school work and loving advice. She holds a lottery ticket.

Vanessa (Sarah Harmon) is shy Usnavi’s love interest and anxious to move away. Everyone dances to the engaging beat, carefully choreographed by director Nick Sugar, who occasionally stopped the rehearsal we visited to tweak one or another detail.

Piraguero (the ice cream guy) wanders through the neighborhood singing about his different flavors, while Nina’s parents worry about their sagging business and beauty shop owner Daniela (Chelly Canales) is moving away tomorrow, due to a big raise in rent.

We visited a rehearsal on Aug. 24 and feel certain that with two weeks to go, the whole production will be polished and engaging from start to finish — certainly an outstanding beginning for Town Hall Arts Center’s 2017-2018 season.

‘Over the moon’ about triceratops find in Thornton Experts say fossils are more than 66 million years old STAFF REPORT

The discovery of 66 million-yearold fossils in Thornton Aug. 25 simultaneously triggered national headlines while it shut down work on a new substation of Thornton police and fire departments.

“It’s looking like we have one of the more complete triceratops skeletons ever found in the metro area,” said Joe Sertich, curator of dinosaurs for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Construction crews working on Thornton’s new Public Safety substation at 132nd Avenue and Quebec Street uncovered the fossil on Aug. 25, notifying experts at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Museum experts were on the scene by Aug. 28 and are leading the excavation.

Since then the story has been picked up by National Geographic’s website, the Washington Post and USA Today.

“My heart was racing,” Sertich said. “I realized it was a pretty important dinosaur find.”

Sertich says it appears to be a triceratops skeleton and skull.

“This is probably one of only three skulls of triceratops found along the Front Range area,” Sertich said.

According to Sertich, most fossil finds along the Front Range are from the Ice Age, just several thousand years old. Older fossils, like the Thornton find, are rare.

“This dinosaur has been laying here for at least 66 million years,” says Sertich. “I’m over the moon right now about this dinosaur fossil.”

Construction crews have stopped work in the area of the fossil while museum scientists work to stabilize the area and the fossil and any other bones that might be found.

As of Aug. 31, crews said they had found a second triceratops horn at the site, as well as a portion of the frill (the shield of bones behind the head), the beak at the front of the lower jaw, ribs and vertebrae.

Work will continue over the next several days to expose all the bones. Plaster jackets are being placed around the bones to protect the bones while they are extracted from the ground. The bones will be transported to the museum, then removed from the jackets and prepared to become part of the museum’s permanent collections.

“I really have to credit the professionals working at the site that discovered the fossils,” Sertich said. “They knew they hit something important and started making calls right away. It’s an unusual circumstance that everyone will benefit from for years to come since we’re able to preserve these bones on behalf of the people of Thornton and Colorado.”

CHSAA commissioner aims to bring new perspective to job

t c i P p p s W s a

R Players and fans hold the Brookridge Trophy high after Arapahoe won the 2015 football game with Heritage. The winner of the rivalry game gets to keep the trophy until the next Arapahoe-Heritage game decides which school becomes keeper of the milk can for a year.

What a difference a rivalry makes Intensity ramps up when certain teams play each other

THE TALLY Here are the series football won-lost records in some of the area’s top rivalry games:

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rivalry football games are contests that get circled on the calendar, get players and students pumped up and get coaches to put a little extra into game planning.

Pueblo Central versus Pueblo Centennial is the oldest rivalry football game in Colorado. It was first played in 1892 and now is known as the Bell Game, with the winner gaining possession of an old train bell that was donated as a trophy in 1950.

There are several intense Colorado rivalries involving area teams and most are tied to geographic proximity or games within the same school district.

Changing conference alignments and schools switching classes have purged some rivalries and forced teams to move games against rivals to early in the season — including Week 1, which is the case with several games this season.

“The good news is we are still playing these rivalry games,” said Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athlethic director.

Rock Canyon’s Bryce Henningsen and Zach Wilson (23) pull Arapahoe’s Jack Hollingsworth to the ground. The Jaguars started off the season with a 38-7 victory over the Warriors at Echo Park Stadium on Sept. 2.

PAUL DISALVO “We sort of flip-flopped the schedule and what used to be the non-league games are our league games. The games lose a little bit because league titles are not on the line.

“The flip side is we are playing these rival games in the good weather. The student bodies, I don’t think they care if it is a league or non-league game.”

Crowds in Colorado are not as large as some other states, such as Florida and Texas, but the attention surrounding rivalry games is considerable.

Bleachers fill fast at 3,500-seat Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch for the ThunderRidge-Mountain

Vista game. The parking lot fills up hours before the game with tailgating, and then many people line up outside the stadium behind the north end zone to watch the game.

“We sell out that game every year,” ThunderRidge Athletic Director Sean Patterson said. “It’s a hypedup game, the kids are hyped up for it. It’s a great atmosphere.”

The Castle View-Douglas County crosstown rivalry is another can’t-miss contest as the Castle Rock teams compete in the Battle of the Rock affair. This year, the game was in the opening week on Sept. 1.

s honda Blanford-Green is a former track star who has been d displaying her speed in her new e job as Colorado High School Activities Association commissioner. w Blanford-Green was hired in March a and his been proactive“ OVERTIME in addressing issues s a and initiating new t concepts that could foil unanticipated P issues. l Sometimes the old-school ways have a e to be tweaked, and Blanford-Green banks 4 T on her experience.

Jim Benton C “What I bring to s the table is a different perspective and I’ve seen it differe ently,” she said.

P Blanford-Green, a 1981 Aurora Central graduate, set several Colorado J track and field records that stood for o e years. She won 18 conference championships as a collegiate standout at y Nebraska, where she was an 11-time track All-American and competed in o several international events.

She worked 16 years for the CHSAA A i as an assistant/associate commissioner, was the executive director of f c the Nebraska School Activities Association for three seasons and was an d assistant executive director the Louisi-a ana High School Athletic Association S from 2015 until returning to Colorado.

The CHSAA held a media day Aug. e 30 with a round-table discussion, and t a much-needed format for interviews s after state championship games was y revealed.

“Our vision and mission was build- d ing relationships with our media,” said Blanford-Green. “We wanted a round-table discussion in an informal matter and not at a state championship, where sometimes those conversations don’t go very well. In a non-competitive atmosphere we can really start to build those relationships, having an open dialogue with our media partners.”

The CSHAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, a group consisting of doctors, school personnel and athletic trainers, met earlier in the day, and the launching of a Head, Heart and Heat Program was announced, which focuses on three major areas of concern for student safety.

Blanford-Green revealed that all art departments in CHSAA member schools have been advised that one student will create the logo for the Head, Heart and Heat Program. The student who designs the winning logo will be paid for the copyright for that logo.

RIVALRIES

WHAT’S ON TAP Some of the area rivalry games that have been played or are scheduled this season:

FROM PAGE 24

“There is no better atmosphere than a rivalry game,” Douglas County coach Gene Hill said. “There is nothing better than seeing the stands full.

Players are more focused. The hard part is making sure the players still play within themselves. It absolutely stinks that this game is played in Week 1. How much fun would it be to see these two teams play Week 10 for a league title or a playoff spot?”

Castle View senior Heath Helms said everyone on the team circles the date of the Douglas County game.

“The biggest part of the rivalry is everyone used to play together, then when high school starts they spilt and go to different schools,” he said.

“There is a lot of trash talking. It’s still friendly. Everyone is still friends after the game but when we are on the field, it’s a fight.”

Legend and Ponderosa are two Parker schools that play in nonleague and the lower parking lot fills at EchoPark Automotive Stadium early with tailgaters. Ponderosa is a 4A school but still plays the Titans.

The third Parker public high school, Chaparral, isn’t on the Mustangs’ schedule.

“The Legend game is a great experience for both teams’ players and the Parker community,” Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen said. “The atmosphere on game day is fantastic and the players know each other through playing youth ball.”

In some games, there is hardware on the line.

Heritage, a Littleton school, and Arapahoe, located a few miles away in west Centennial, play each season for the Brookridge Trophy. It is a milk can that is a tribute to the Brookridge dairy farm that used to occupy the area where Littleton Public Schools Stadium now stands.

Legacy has two big rival games each year, one against Broomfield and the other against Adams 12 district school Horizon.

“Horizon is a district school and you always want to be the best in the district,” Legacy Athletic Director

“This isn’t reactionary,” said Blanford-Green. “This is proactivity that we understand where we need to be going, and this is kind of like when you see the CHSAA logo, it might be ea more modern look, you know this is from CHSAA and it has to do with safety and right now there is nothing that does that for us.”

Fast start Chaparral senior Adrienne Visintine started the softball season with a bang and was named the MaxPreps/ NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) National High School Player of the Week for games played Aug. 21-27.

Visintine, an outfielder who has

The Eagles got their second victory of the season over Mullen 34-7 on Sept. 1 at Valor Stadium.

PAUL DISALVO Brendon Feddema said. “The Broomfield game every year draws a lot of people, but as soon as the game is over the players are good friends. It is the Best of Broomfield game.”

Northglenn and Thornton are longtime rivals that played for the 89th time on Sept. 1 in what is called the I-25 Bowl.

“This game is one that both sides play up for and it’s usually a great game,” Northglenn Athletic Director Matt Oelhert said. “Each of our communities has multiple generations who have gone to either Northglenn or Thornton.”

There have been several metro-area rivalries that have developed because of the strength of the teams. While these schools aren’t in the same city or the same league, year after year, it seems, they are squaring off in the playoffs, often with a state championship on the line.

Valor Christian, seven-time Colorado state champions, has developed rivalries with Cherry Creek and

committed to play at Coastal Carolina, had a slugging percentage of 3.000 with three home runs and a double in five at-bats and started the season with a 1.000 batting average. She drove in seven runs, scored nine times and reached base safely in 11 plate appearances.

She was 3-for-3 with a homer and double, had three runs batted in and scored three runs in a 12-4 win over Wheat Ridge. She walked four times in a 9-5 loss to Ralston Valley but scored three of the Wolverines’ five runs. In a 20-0 victory over Overland, Visintine belted two homers, had four RBI, scored twice and drew a walk.

Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Pomona mainly because of competitive games and the fact the teams are typically battling it out for Class 5A state titles.

Valor holds a 4-2 edge in the series, but the Bruins ended the Eagles’ 28game in-state winning streak in 2014, and later that season Creek won the state championship with a 25-24 win

Green Mountain-Golden Sept. 29 Cherry Creek-Valor Christian

over Valor Christian.

Pomona has lost the past two title games to Valor but the Panthers have three wins over the Eagles during the regular season.

“In the past four years, we’ve played Pomona eight times and Creek four times,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “They have been good games.”
