Pen pals brighten up seniors’ day Second-graders at Cherry Hills Christian School meet senior letter-writers for first time

NIKKI TRIPPLER

ThunderRidge student serves on Lone Tree Youth Council

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How do retired seniors get to know today’s youth?

For 82-year-old Shirley Hull and 8-year-old Reagan Davis, they do it by talking about families and animals.

And, said Hull, who has written letters to Davis since the fall, “I told her my favorite colors.”

At the Holly Creek Retirement Community in Centennial, 42 secondgraders met the seniors they’ve been writing letters to for the first time on April 27. Through a program at Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch, the children are matched with senior pen pals, with whom they have exchanged letters since last fall.

To kick off their get-together, second-graders sang “It’s a Small World” to the crowd of seniors.

Hull and Davis, both excited to meet, said the best part was just getting to know each other.

But teacher Sheá Goodwin said the program goes further than that.

It teaches kids “how to make relationships based not on someone being in the same class as you,” said Goodwin, a second-grade teacher at Cherry Hills Christian.

Students learn to connect with people not based on what they look like or if they’re the best athlete, for example, she said. And in a growing period in their lives, writing letters teaches the children how to answer questions about themselves and ask the same to others.

The relationships can be deeper, though, as the gathering showed.

“When the kids meet (the seniors), it’s amazing,” Goodwin said. “One little girl went, `I’ve been praying for you every morning.’ ” One 96-year-old at the retirement community, who never had kids of her own, wrote to a pen pal through

For Jack Kelly, 82, the spontaneity of the kids made an impression.

“They disarm you with their openness and frankness,” said Kelly, a resident at the retirement community, which sits at 5500 E. Peakview Ave. They’re “very direct — what they see, they say. There’s no show. They’re too early in life to get deceptive.”

This is the seventh year students from Cherry Hills Christian have corresponded with Holly Creek residents.

“In this age of texts, instant messages and Instagram, we wanted our children to learn and become familiar with how to correspond through letters,” Wen said, “and writing to Holly Creek residents has created friendships between students and seniors.”

About me I have lived in Lone Tree all my life, and live with my parents Shideh, Michael and sister Kiana, along with my elderly cat Snowman. I’m graduating from ThunderRidge High this year and will be attending Chapman University in California, where I’ll major in computer science and theater. I also serve on the Lone Tree Youth Council, and like being involved in my community.

Why I love Colorado I love the sun in Colorado. I Trippler think it’s brighter compared to other states, maybe because of the elevation.

I really love the people here, they’re very laid-back, caring and outgoing.

I’ve heard Colorado is one of the healthiest states to live in, and I like that. Everybody is very athletic and active. I played golf in high school, and when I’m not doing theater I still enjoy hitting the golf course. My family and I like playing board games and watching movies.

In my opinion the world would be a better place ...

In my opinion, the world would be a better place if everyone ate more fruits and vegetables. I love eating healthy foods, and the way they make me feel, and I think everyone would feel better if they ate better.

Outing offers chance to ride on cushion of air iFLY Denver in Lone Tree gives treat of flight to people with special needs

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The ability to fly is a dream many people have. Soaring through the air, weightless, forgetting about the troubles of the world, even for a minute, is a wonderful image of freedom for an able-bodied person, and even more so for young people with special needs.

But thanks to iFLY Denver in Lone Tree, nearly a dozen young people with special needs got the chance to take flight on April 29 during the All Abilities Night. iFLY — which has a vertical wind tunnel where people can float on air — partnered with Adam’s Camp, a Centennial-based nonprofit organization that provides customized, intensive therapy, family support and recreation in a camp environment.

“When you have a disability, you often find you have to prove you are just as capable as anyone else,” said Lindsay Radford, executive director of Adam’s Camp. “We are so impressed with the iFly Team for embracing our campers and recognizing there are no limits.”

Attendees of the All Abilities Night at iFLY Denver in Lone Tree were all smiles after spending time flying in the vertical wind tunnel. The event was held for individuals with special physical and cognitive needs.

PHOTO COURTESY OF LAURA ALPIN The evening was designed for individuals with special physical and cognitive needs to create an environment of support and inclusion while empowering attendees to push past limitations and take flight. The event

was open to everyone in the special needs community.

Attendees received a pre-flight training session before donning flight gear, including suit, helmet and goggles.

Flight instructors helped each partici-

pant based on individual needs, and each flier was given the chance to fly twice, at one minute each flight in the vertical wind tunnel. Each flight was captured on video, which was sent home with participants as a reminder of the experience.

The second annual All Abilities Night wrapped a month-long fundraising effort by iFLY to benefit Adam’s Camp.

“Our goal was to elevate awareness for what we do, which is providing a wonderful and inclusive opportunity for people in the special needs community,” said Lynnae Godfrey, general manager of iFLY Denver. “We were so happy to help raise awareness on our partner organization, Adam’s Camp, within the iFLY community. For our All Abilities Night and celebratory event, it was great seeing people, friends, family and supporters of the organization take the time to share a unique experience such as taking flight.”

Adam’s Camp was founded in 1986, with the intention of providing a variety of intensive, personalized and integrated therapeutic programs for children with special needs and their families. They also offer recreational programs that foster social connections and growth in independence for youth and young adults with special needs. For more information visit www.adamscamp.org.

Springing back to life Workers prepare sprawling grounds of Hudson Gardens for busy event season

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nary a soul strolled the grounds of The Hudson Gardens & Event Center on the first day of May save a few maintenance crewmembers, who were busily prepping the 30-acre botanic gardens on South Santa Fe Drive and South Vinewood Street for spring to begin in earnest.

“Things are just starting to bloom,” said Lauren Kersey, Hudson’s marketing and communications specialist. “We don’t have the annual flowers in the ground yet, but the crabapples and redbuds look marvelous. The bees are just going

crazy.”

Indeed, at the gardens’ apiary, beehives buzzed with excited swarms making sojourns to feast on blooming trees. Nearby, facilities maintenance manager Nathan Frank surveyed the sprawling grounds.

“It’s exciting watching it all come together,” Frank said. “Even just seeing the hillsides get mowed makes it feel like spring is really back.”

The quiet calm of the gardens on May Day belied the hustle and bustle to come.

“Hudson plays host to 300 weddings a year, mostly in the summer months,” said rental sales manager

Coming crowds aside, The Hudson Gardens is an oasis in the city, Kersey said.

“People come from far around to see us,” Kersey said. “I haven’t encountered anything else quite like this place.”

Plane crash in northern Douglas County leaves 1 dead Authorities say aircraft made a ‘high-speed impact’ with the ground STAFF REPORT

One person was killed after a small plane crashed in a residential area of northern Douglas County, east of I-25, the night of May 11.

The Douglas County Coroner’s Office identified the pilot of the plane as Robert D. Marquis, 67, of Glade Park, which is west of Grand Junction. He was flying solo.

The plane, a Cirrus SR22, went down near RidgeGate Parkway and Pastel Point, an area between Lone Tree and Parker, just west of the Stepping Stone neighborhood. Debris was spread over more than an acre in the vacant field, only several hundred yards from homes, and two blocks from a community park, swimming pool and popular walking trail that wound around the crash area.

Resident Baylor Bland was home with his famiy, windows open to enjoy the fresh air, when he heard what he thought was the loud whining and shifting of a motorcycle speeding at abut 8:30 p.m.

“It sounded like a (motorcycle) — I thought it was over at Ridge Gate,” said Bland. “Then all of a sudden, I heard a loud thump, and it sounded like all the air was being let out of a big vacuum. I didn’t really think it

Investigators comb the debris field of the deadly plane May 11, plane crash near the Stepping Stone neighborhood. could be a plane, because we have so many coming over here that it didn’t seem possible.”

The crash, which South Metro Fire Rescue described as a “high-speed impact,” threw a chunk of the engine, approximately 3 feet long, into the side of a home several hundred yards away, where it was embedded several inches between two windows. None

of the neighborhood’s residents were injured.

“I don’t know if the pilot was trying to miss the houses, but we were so lucky,” said Bland. “It’s only a couple hundred yards from hitting all of these houses.”

The plane had recently taken off from nearby Centennial Airport, according to authorities.

The engine of an SR22 plane that crashed around 8:30 p.m. May 11 was propelled several yards and embedded into a home near the crash site just west of the Stepping Stone neighborhood.

Personnel from South Metro, the Lone Tree Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the Parker Police Department, Centennial Airport and the National Transportation Safety Board were on scene after the crash, according to a City of Lone Tree spokeswoman.

The Cirrus SR22 has a wingspan of about 38 feet and is 26 feet in length, according to cirrusaircraft.com.

Lawmakers conclude session with pension deal Teachers’ union criticizes measure, which increases employee contributions

BY BRIAN EASON AND JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado lawmakers narrowly passed an ambitious plan to rescue the state pension fund from the fiscal brink just minutes before the 2018 legislative session gaveled to a close at midnight May 9.

After daylong negotiations, Gov. John Hickenlooper lobbied fellow Democrats to pass the bill at a moment when their support appeared to be wavering. Opposition from the state’s largest teachers union threatened to unravel the deal reached with Senate Republicans.

“We have to think long term about the 585,000 people who are benefiting from this,’’ House Majority Leader KC Becker, a Boulder Democrat and one of the bill sponsors, told her caucus before the vote. “If we fail to act in a responsible way and we jeopardize anything about this retirement system, it is on our backs, and it is on our conscience.’’

The pension fund provides retirement benefits to state workers, teach-

ers and a number of other public employees across the state — around 1 in 10 Coloradans, in total — and has huge ramifications for taxpayer spending and public services across the state.

The pension sports some of the largest debts of any pension in the country, owing retirees $32 billion to $50 billion in unfunded benefits.

The bill now heads to the governor’s desk. It calls for cuts to retirement benefits, and requires public employees and taxpayer-funded government agencies to contribute more of each paycheck into the retirement fund.

The state will contribute $225 million annually to help pay off the system’s unfunded debt.

The bill increases employee contributions by 2 percentage points. That’s more than House Democrats and public sector unions had wanted, but less than the GOP-led state Senate had previously approved.

Retirees will lose cost-of-living raises for two years. After that, annual raises will be cut to 1.5 percent, down from the current 2 percent.

The state government and school districts would pay higher contributions than they do today. And future employees would have to work longer to qualify for full benefits: The bill increases the retirement age to 64 for future employees. Currently, state

workers can retire at 60, while teachers can retire at 58.

Sen. Jack Tate, of Centennial, a Republican bill sponsor, said it was critical that the pension measure “have a certain fairness in the retirement age between the public sector and the private sector.” Private-sector retirees can’t draw full benefits from Social Security until 67.

State pension recipients in Colorado don’t pay into or receive Social Security benefits.

Late May 9, several Democrats called for the bill to be rejected — and suggested instead that the governor call a special session — amid opposition from the Colorado Education Association. House Speaker Crisanta Duran was among more than two dozen Democrats to vote “no.’”

The legislation ultimately passed 3429 in the House and 24-11 in the Senate.

Outside the Capitol, the teachers’ union ripped lawmakers for rushing a compromise that few had seen until hours before it passed.

“This is bad policy done in haste,’’ said Kerrie Dallman, president of the Colorado Education Association.

The deal represents Colorado’s second pension rescue in the last decade.

In 2010, lawmakers cut retirement benefits and increased contributions to stave off a looming insolvency trig-

gered by the Great Recession. The fix fell short, in part because retirees are living longer and the pension’s investments are no longer expected to grow as much as policymakers had previously projected.

The latest effort includes safeguards to automatically adjust benefits and contributions as needed to keep the pension on track to pay off its unfunded debt within 30 years.

The Democrat-led House and Republican-led Senate have resolved other top priorities of the 120-day session.

In March, lawmakers passed a $28.9 billion budget that boosts funding to transportation and schools. This week, they finalized a related K-12 funding bill that increases spending by $461 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

On May 8, lawmakers passed a bill seeking voter approval to borrow $2.34 billion for transportation projects. The bill sets aside $645 million for roads over the next two years and would ask voters in 2019 permission to issue $2.34 billion in transportation bonds. The state would owe up to $3.25 billion in borrowing costs over 20 years.

Lawmakers on May 9 approved a lastminute compromise to reauthorize the seven-member Colorado Civil Rights Commission and the Civil Rights Division until September 2027.

‘You don’t know all the people you have touched’ Scholarship honors Douglas County students who have persevered, overcome obstacles

From left: Dylan McDonald, Rebecca Tuska, Christian Scott, Glen McMillan, Missy Martin, Ashley Smith, Carmen De La O, Tayla Wilson.

In front: Jacob McLemore Umphress. Eight Douglas County seniors are honored with a Missy Martin scholarship on May 2 at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock. Martin is, a graduate of Douglas County High School.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Becca Tuska was 16 years old when doctors left a surgical tool in her body during surgery for a sports injury. The former dancer spent the next year fighting infections as doctors searched for a diagnosis.

She had to re-learn how to walk and was put on a feeding tube.

But Tuska, now a senior at Legend High School in Parker, persevered.

On May 2, she was one of eight seniors to receive the Missy Martin scholarship, which recognizes young people who have prevailed over adversities in their high school careers.

“Getting this honor — my school honoring me for my perseverance and ability to overcome — means a lot to me,” said Tuska, who recently shaved her head to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

“It’s very heartwarming to be recognized.”

The scholarship is named after a Douglas County High School graduate, Missy Martin. On her way to school in 2002, Martin’s car stalled on a nearby train track and was hit by a Union Pacific freight train. The then-16-year-old was in a coma for about a month and suffered irreversible brain damage.

Martin, a high school cheerleader with aspirations to become a nurse, was able to go to college. She’s now a wife and mother of two young daughters.

Her family started the scholarship fund to help Douglas County students who, like her, have faced and conquered overwhelming obstacles.

“I love it,” Martin said through a smile at the May 2 ceremony at Douglas County High School. She was seen often hugging students, parents and district staff in attendance. “It makes me so happy.”

Principals and counselors from seven high schools across the county presented the $1,000 scholarship to each student. They praised the young people for staying strong through a variety of hardships — the loss of a parent, a car accident, trauma, a chronic illness.

“To all of you, the students,” said Kyle Mossman, a dean at Chaparral High School in Parker, “you don’t know all the people you have touched.”

Hear the Ten Commandments read from historic Torah Scroll rescued from synagogue set ablaze in November 1938 STAFF REPORT

A Torah scroll rescued from one of the 1,400 synagogues set ablaze on the night of Nov. 9, 1938, will make an appearance in Colorado as part of a tour that includes hundreds of Jewish communities worldwide.

“The Torah is about knowledge, life, history and law, but this particular one is also about survival,” Rabbi Avraham Mintz, director of Chabad Jewish Center of South Metro Denver, said in a news release.

The community is invited to join Chabad Jewish Center at 11 a.m. May 20 for the Shavuot Holiday Torah read-

ing of the Ten Commandments from the Kristallnacht Torah. The reading is followed by a Shavuot Holiday lunch.

The blue velvet cover of the Kristallnacht Torah is embroidered in gold lettering, dating the scroll to the Jewish year 5699. That translates to late 1938, which, for the Jews of Europe, marked the beginning of the end for most.

The night of Nov. 9, 1938, was when a wave of pogroms engulfed Germany and Austria. That night’s infamous name was taken from the smashed glass of Jewish shops and homes that littered streets. Torah scrolls were thrown into bonfires, sometimes by Jews who were forced to comply at gunpoint, while Nazis danced around the flames and cheered.

While witnessing this madness, a 14-year-old boy named Isaac Schwartz risked his life and bolted into the main

synagogue in Hamburg and grabbed a Torah scroll from a smoldering pile of holy texts and other sacred items. He quickly buried it in his family’s yard.

The family escaped to Venezuela, but returned to Hamburg following World War II to unearth the scroll. It was in poor shape, with holes, soiling and tears in the parchment. It had survived the Nazis, but not the elements, and sat in disrepair for decades.

It stayed in the family until recently, when a friend of Mintz’s bought it from the Schwartz family.

Leonard Wien is a businessman and philanthropist who has made it his mission to restore destroyed German Torah scrolls as a homage to his family members and the millions of others who perished in the Holocaust.

Wien hired two scribes who spent 18 months rewriting the faded letters in black ink and replacing the parts of the parchment that were beyond

Bill on mental health, guns stalls in Legislature Sheriff, DA support emergency measure, but GOP lawmakers pull plug

BY KATHLEEN FOODY AND JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock begged state lawmakers to pass legislation making it easier to confiscate firearms from someone considered a danger to themselves or others — people, he said, like the man who shot and killed a sheriff ’s deputy in Highlands Ranch on New Year’s Eve. A week later, Republicans in the state Senate refused to send the bill to a floor vote, unconvinced by the prominent GOP district attorneys and sheriffs who argued that it would protect officers dealing with people in the midst of mental health crises. The 2018 legislative session came to a close on May 9.

The bill did pass the Democrat-led House. Only two Republicans voted for it, foreshadowing claims by senators that the bill didn’t protect gun owners.

Despite the proliferation of similar proposals after a gunman killed 17 people at a Florida high school in February and Colorado’s own history of mass shootings, the short-lived debate showed that the battle lines on gun policy in Colorado politics have barely shifted.

Similar “red flag” laws have been introduced in nearly 30 states since the Parkland, Florida killings, with lawmakers in Florida, Maryland and Vermont passing legislation.

The issue simmered in Colorado’s divided Legislature until about a week before the end of the legislative session, when a top Republican in the Democrat-led House and a Democratic colleague unveiled the proposal.

Supporters tried to keep the focus on the 29-year-old peace officer shot to death on New Year’s Eve in Highlands Ranch, naming the bill after slain Douglas County Sheriff ’s Deputy Zackari Parrish.

Public records show the gunman, Matthew Riehl, threatened officials at the Wyoming law school he attended, threatened lawsuits against family members if they kept him from accessing firearms and was placed under a 72-hour mental health hold in 2014 at a Veterans Affairs psychiatric ward.

None of that appears to have disqualified him from buying weapons.

Colorado Republicans claimed a red flag law could discourage gun owners from seeking treatment for mental health problems. They said personal spats could lead to requests for an emergency order without giving the gun owner an immediate opportunity to respond.

“When it comes to the potential for gun confiscation without proper due process ... I do not think it should be any surprise what happens to that

‘... if you get in front of this or you interfere with it or you don’t vote for it ... you’re not doing your job.’

bill,” GOP Senate President Kevin Grantham predicted May 7.

Under the proposal, family members or law enforcement could have asked a court to issue a “temporary extreme risk protection order” if they believed someone posed a risk to themselves or others, and require them to hand in all firearms to local law enforcement.

Another hearing would have been required within seven days of the initial order, and a judge would have decided whether to end or extend an order for 182 days.

The gun owner could have asked a judge to reconsider during that 182-day period.

Supporters argued that process ensured that gun owners’ rights were protected but would help prevent suicide or killings. At an April 30 press conference unveiling the bill, Spurlock said it could have saved Parrish’s life.

“What we’re trying to do is save lives,” he said. “And if you get in front of this or you interfere with it or you don’t vote for it ... you are not doing your job.”

Gun rights debates have consumed Colorado’s Capitol before. Lawmakers approved a ban on high-capacity magazines and added a background check for firearm transfers in 2013, months after the mass shootings in Aurora and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Gun owners’ groups retaliated by pushing successful recall votes against two Democratic state senators who voted for the gun control bills.

The groups again mobilized against the red flag bill, calling Republican co-sponsor Cole Wist, of Centennial, “a mole” in the party’s ranks and warning George Brauchler, a district attorney running for attorney general, to withdraw his support.

But Brauchler, who prosecuted the Aurora theater shooter for killing 12 people and injuring 70 others in 2012, called the proposal the most “protective” version of a “red flag” law nationally. By comparison, an Indiana version passed in 2005 lets police confiscate firearms without a warrant and get a judge’s approval afterward, said Brauchler, a Republican whose 18th Judicial District includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

“I’m skeptical of giving the government authority like this, but skepticism is not a justification for inaction,” he said.

Pye, Barrett, Lawful win SSPRD election

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s three newly elected board members say they look forward to maintaining and enhancing what they call a beloved and top-tier local amenity.

Susan Pye, Pete Barrett and Dave Lawful were elected to the board of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District on May 8. Each will serve a four-year term.

Board members John Ostermiller, Mike Anderson and Pam Eller are termlimited and will retire from the board this month, South Suburban said in a press release.

The newly elected board members will join sitting members Scott LaBrash and Jim Taylor.

Pye, Barrett and Lawful won over a crowded field of nine, beating Jerry

Pye

Barrett

Lawful

Bakke, Charlie Blosten, Michael Kohut, Jeff Monroe, Dan Purse and Tom Wood.

Unofficial results from late on election night show Pye with 1,220 votes, the only candidate to receive more than 1,000. Barrett came in second with 841 and Lawful third with 794.

South Suburban serves a wide swath of the south metro area, operating parks, recreation centers and league sports.

Susan Pye Pye is a recently retired international

telecommunication technical trainer who trained staff in countries worldwide, according to her candidate profile.

She works part-time at IKEA. She is the chair of the Centennial Senior Commission and does outreach for the Mobility Ambassador Program, among other volunteer activities.

Pye said she’s optimistic about the district’s future, and that her goal is staying the course.

“There’s a good mandate in place in the form of the master plan and strategic plan,” Pye said. “Our task is maintaining and enhancing the assets we’ve got.”

Pye said residents of the district sometimes take it for granted, and that she’d like to help people engage with it more.

“We don’t utilize it as much as we can,” Pye said. “If I can help send that message to children, seniors, and everyone in between, we could increase health awareness of engagement with the assets that are already here.”

Maintaining open space expectations will be a challenge going forward, Pye said.

“We all want open space and retail tax, but you have to have a balance,” Pye said. “We can’t give up open space that helps us get outdoors.”

With seniors living longer, recreational activities are vital to maintaing health and socialization, Pye said.

“South Suburban helps us live long and die short,” Pye said.

Pete Barrett Barrett was an elementary school teacher for four years before going into insurance for 31 years, 25 of which were as an agency owner. He has served on several boards or committees, including acting in multiple volunteer roles for South Suburban.

Barrett said he’s looking forward to SEE SSPRD, P13

Expansion changes underway at Chatfield Project forces park amenities to higher ground; Audubon Society presses ahead with appeal

agricultural organizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado.

Construction, which started last winter, is expected to wrap up in about a year.

Several projects have been completed: Both the north boat ramp and the Massey Draw Day Use Area recently reopened to the public, said Chatfield State Park manager Scott Roush.

“Massey is more of a limited opening because we want to get stuff revegetated, so we have some parts fenced off,” Roush said. “It still allows parking and boat access.”

The balloon launch area, which was scheduled to reopen on May 1, likely won’t open until mid-May because of weather delays in revegetation efforts, Roush said. A length of the west perimeter road stretching from the west park entrance the Kingfisher Day Use Area is slated to reopen around Memorial Day.

Construction is largely on schedule at Chatfield State Park, where crews are moving shoreline amenities and infrastructure to higher ground as part of a project to increase the storage capacity of the reservoir, which will see the high-water mark rise by 12 feet.

The Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project is a $130 million effort to add an additional 20,000 acre-feet of water storage capacity to the reservoir, to be used by eight municipal water providers and

Crews are working on environmental mitigation in the Plum Creek Nature Area, Roush said.

“We will have to take out some trees in that area,” Roush said. “But we should be able to save more than we thought. The trees there won’t be inundated for the whole growing season. A lot of them are cottonwoods, and lots of them can handle being flooded.”

Longtime visitors to the park won’t see much difference even once the project is completed, Roush said.

“Everything is being replaced in kind so it’s being put back where it was,” Roush said. “We’re planting trees in all the affected areas, and once those come up it won’t look all that different.”

The project could add new opportunities for boaters, Roush said.

“Paddleboarders, kayakers and canoeists will have new areas to explore at full pool,” Roush said. “It won’t be in the powerboating zone, though.”

Roush said the park will get new facilities and buildings at the swim beach and Massey Draw.

Audubon Society sticks to guns The project doesn’t sit well with the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, which operates a nature center at the park’s south end and heads conservation efforts in the park.

operations manager with the Corps of Engineers.

“This started long before I got here,” Maxwell said. “The water resource managers proposed this project to the Corps, and we did an environmental impact statement on the project and approved the schedule and project designs. We’re not overseeing this like a typical project, because it’s not our contract and it’s not our money. We are making sure the mitigation company is doing what they said they would do.”

Audubon, however, is upset about the carving of a “haul road” — a rough road used to move construction materials — slated to be cut near its nature center, said Polly Reetz, the group’s conservation chair.

“I don’t believe there was any mention of this (in the plans),” Reetz said. “The road will go right through the parking lot of our nature center, then parallel to Wadsworth and curve down toward the South Platte River. As far as we can remember there was nothing like that discussed in the environmental impact statement.”

The proposed haul roads were properly reviewed and approved, said Kris Wahlers, an operations manager with the state park.

“Any new roads have been vetted through the process,” Wahlers said.

“We’ve been diligent about making sure that everything is within scope of project. The plans have been updated since the original drafts — I’m not sure if Audubon saw original

plans that have been updated, versus what’s gone through the review process and been approved later.

Anything that’s happened has been reviewed and approved by the Corps of Engineers.”

Maxwell said he wasn’t sure about the status of haul roads in the area.

“I haven’t heard,” Maxwell said. “I know there are haul roads, used to move dirt. I don’t know if they were specified in the initial plans. They were just as constructed to get from point A to point B.” More people, more water Environmental mitigation has been high on the mind of project managers, said Tom Browning, the general manager of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company.

“We are planting approximately 100,000 new trees and shrubs within the park boundaries,” Browning said. “That will tremendously help out habitat for birds and wildlife.”

The increased storage capacity will allow for occasional flushes of additional water into the South Platte to shore up fish habitats downstream, Browning said.

The big picture, Browning said, is that as Colorado’s population grows, so will our water needs.

“This will help add storage capacity for municipal, industrial and agricultural uses,” Browning said.

“This is an important piece of the puzzle for the long term sustainable water supply for the Denver area and even our farmers downstream in northern Colorado.”

CHATFIELD

The expansion project is being managed by the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, an umbrella organization composed of entities including the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, the Town of Castle Rock and the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The reservoir is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which leases the reservoir and surrounding land to the state park system.

Audubon filed a lawsuit against the Corps and the mitigation company in 2014, alleging the project will irreparably harm wildlife habitat around the reservoir, and that the Corps’ environmental impact analysis of the project was flawed because it failed to consider less-damaging alternatives.

A district court judge ruled in December 2017 in favor of the Corps, saying that Audubon hadn’t provided sufficient evidence that the plans violated the National Environmental Policy Act. Audubon is appealing the ruling, and seeking an injunction to halt construction. Oral arguments in the appeal are expected in the fall.

The group is hoping to stop the project before any trees need to be taken out along the shoreline, said attorney Kevin Lynch, who is representing Audubon.

“That’s the impact that’s most concerning,” Lynch said. “That’s prime, unique and valuable wildlife habitat.

We want to send the Corps back to the drawing board to consider alternatives to the project.”

The project has been in the works for a long time, said Joe Maxwell, an

working on building a proposed new South Suburban facility near David Lorenz Park.

“All of us are going to be involved in the new multigenerational facility, that will include an ice rink, pools gyms, indoor lacrosse and soccer fields,” Barrett said. “It’s a huge project. The challenges on any of these roles is what you don’t have control over. Bond issues that were passed five or more years ago have become insufficient because of labor shortages and construction costs. In the short term, three years or less, we don’t see an abatement of that. The availability of quality contractors and quality workers will be very challenging.”

Barrett said overall things are going very well for South Suburban.

“The big thing for people to know is this is a great parks and recreation district,” Barrett said. “I’m very excited for this opportunity. I don’t take this lightly and I’m really looking forward to this.”

Dave Lawful Lawful is retired from 38 years of program management and system engineering in the aerospace industry.

His many volunteer activities include serving as chairman of the Lone Tree Citizens Recreation Advisory Committee. Lawful said he was an outspoken proponent for ballot measures 4B and 4C in 2017, which helped secure longterm funding for the district.

“One of the great things about campaigning is I’ve learned even more about South Suburban,” Lawful said.

“One of the things I would like to see our staff and board bring back is the recognition that we’re a Gold Medal caliber organization, as recognized by the National Recreation and Parks Association.”

Lawful said he’d like to work with the nonprofit South Suburban Park Foundation to focus on trails.

“When we’ve talked to people around the district, something that often comes up as a priority is trail connectivity,” Lawful said. “I’d love to see more of that happen. Another thing is wayfinding on the trails. South Suburban did anexcellent job with the City of Littleton on signage on the Mary Carter Greenway. They’re more than cool because they give you so much info at a glance. The tell you where the nearest restroom or water fountain or turn onto another trail is. I’d like to see our signage enhanced.”

Lawful said he hopes people take advantage of the amenities in their midst.

“When you get up in the morning and wonder what you should do today, think of South Suburban. There’s probably something fun and healthful you haven’t tried before.”

Lawful said he hopes district residents make themselves heard.

“Reach out to the South Suburban staff and board, and let us know what you think,” Lawful said. “If you believe that a change or priority needs to be different, the only way to get it rolling is to let us know.”

The funny thing about humor is how often it isn’t funny

n ice cream truck used to appear every day at the parks where I played when I was a kid. Its infectious little tune QUIET made my mouth DESPERATION water. I think now it would drive me to distraction.

On each side of the truck it said “Good Humor.”

I think I have a good sense of humor.

Mine is mine, and it’s sculpted, and it’s not Craig Marshall universal. Mine is lean, free of meanSmith ness and ribaldry.

And that excludes me these days from

life, but he was the funniest man I knew. He was witty right now, and he didn’t need a writer.

I found out what humor was, or what it was thought to be, when I was in grade school by watching television.

These were a few of my choices: Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle and Lucille Ball. For reasons I could explain if this were a comedy dissertation, I rejected all of them.

Along came a curiosity named Ernie Kovacs and I brightened somewhat.

Kovacs was off-center, and his humor was constructed piece by piece, not thrown at me in a predictable punch.

I haven’t watched situation comedies in 40 years. I will admit, however,

comedy clubs and White House Correspondents’ Dinners. No more stand-up for Craig.

I am too old for Michelle Wolf ’s humor. I was too old for it when I was her age (32).

I can’t remember the first time I saw Don Rickles on Carson, but I know I wasn’t crazy about him. He’d pick at every scab, and then wind up by saying it was all just a joke, and he loved everyone.

Joan Rivers did the same thing, but she never said it was all just a joke, or that she loved everyone.

Maybe you remember celebrity roasts? I thought they were imbecilic.

Now they’re so raunchy they only appear on cable.

My father never told a joke in his

to an appreciation for Barney Fife (portrayed, of course, by Mick Jagger). Fife might have been television’s last genuinely amusing, reoccurring character.

Fife looked and sounded like they located him in Mayberry, North Carolina, not in a script room in southern California.

My alma mater’s extension school offers a course I briefly considered.

It’s called “Beginning Writing for the Half-Hour Spec I.” You “learn how to identify the unique spin shows put on their stories.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bad idea on fences Re: “HRCA proposes universal fence color” I was very disappointed to read that the HRCA Architectural Committee wants to require all fences in Highlands Ranch be painted the same drab brown color.

They seem to think this will enhance the look of the neighborhoods, when in fact it will do quite the opposite. Fences should be stained or painted to complement the house of the same property.

The RIGs already limit the choices

of colors and stains. Requiring all fences to be the same color will only make the neighborhoods look dull while reinforcing a Stepford mentality. There are limits to uniformity and some variation in color and look is refreshing.

In this community, with its conservative outlook that values limited government, this fence color mandate is in my opinion a gross overreach of the Architectural Committee. I have to ask what is next?

ne of the greatest pieces of advice that I ever received came from a great friend and mentor earlier in my life.

He actually gave me two pieces of advice wrapped up in one life-changing conversation. The two were so connected that even today I consider these words of wisWINNING dom a tremendous WORDS part of any success that I have experienced in my life.

I have been paying this forward and have passed along this advice to those whom I know, those whom I work with, and those whom I coach and mentor.

Michael Norton And now I want to share it with you, too.

The first part is to be diligent in keeping a record of each accomplishment, award, or time that I had been recognized in any way. He told me to buy a binder and keep it handy.

My mentor had shared this with me immediately after I had been recognized as the Salesperson of the Month for the first time. He told me that even though there would be only one plaque on my wall and one certificate in my binder, he was confident that over time I would be filling multiple binders and taking up plenty of wall

space too. Twenty-nine years later I am grateful for his confidence in me and for his advice.

I say that because I did fill up my binder and other binders with many awards and recognitions, letters of accomplishment, letters and emails provided as a testimonial or reference.

Now I am not sharing this with you to brag on myself, I am really bragging on my mentor and the advice and guidance he gave me, because the second part of his advice is where he made all the difference in my life and contributed to my future successes.

You see, the second part of the advice is built on the saying that, “Success begets success.” He encouraged me to review my past achievements regularly as a way to continue to believe that I can do great things.

The idea was not to get caught up in relying on my past successes, as we know that we are only as good as our last record. And it also wasn’t about someone asking me, “So what have you done for me lately?” No, it’s not about that at all, it’s about you and me, and asking ourselves, “What else is still left inside of me?” Asking ourselves, “What have I done for myself lately?”

Throughout my career I have experienced exhilarating wins, and I have suffered crushing losses. And I have

Will the members of the Architectural Committee be showing up at my front door demanding that I paint my house the color they have picked?

I urge all residents of Highlands Ranch to provide feedback at https:// hrcaonline.org/property-owners/ covenants-improvements/fence-colorproposal-faqs and tell the Architectural Committee to kill this proposal.

Robert White Highlands Ranch Enough about teacher pay No, Douglas County property owners should not pay higher taxes for teachers. The recent article “Poll finds most Americans think teachers are underpaid” written by the Associated Press and printed in this paper asserts “Americans overwhelmingly believe teachers don’t make enough money.”

The AP article’s interpretation of the poll, taken during the recent teacher strikes, sides with teachers and advocates their agenda with quotes such as “to educate children and barely make a living is obnoxious” and “I’m a parent and benefit directly from what teachers do.” The statistical findings in the poll may be valid, but the slogan that “figures don’t lie, but liars figure” applies.

The average 2016-17 salary for a public school teacher is $58,950, with spring, fall and Christmas breaks and summers off. The average pay for a school administrator is $69,247. The current national average for a journalist, equally (or more) quali fied by education to teach, is $37,000, with one in four without benefits (but they love their jobs and don’t complain).

Teachers don’t start out in the col-

pected that by 2050, more than 60 countries will have reached that level. ¹ Investors may worry about what happens to the stock market when the number of retirees continues to increase. This can put pressure on pension funds and Social Security. Most fixed income sources have little or no cost of living increases. This may cause retirees to spend down their assets to create income and support long lives and potential elder care costs.

Homeowners have already been affected by the low inventory of single-story or community housing that provides active living as well as potential care services. Clients have discovered that it is often more expensive to downsize. If you are forced to stay put in your two-story house and bring in help, the supply and demand once again drives up the price of care providers available to meet your needs.

This is definitely an age group that

is supporting the economy as they pay for more goods and services needed to provide for an aging population. Investors and companies can capitalize on new inventions designed to keep you young, active and healthy. As you age, more services are needed from house painting to lawn services and eventually elder care. It will be fascinating to watch what new innovations will be available on anything from self-driving cars to same-day dentures.

There is an opportunity for products that allow you to age in place, such as stair climbers, walk-in tubs and meal delivery. This is in addition to health care facilities and retirement communities that are popping up in every zip code.

Consumers demand services and products, which in turn impacts how businesses adapt to compete in the areas needed by the current population.

We watched the baby boomers impact products and business on everything

from Gerber baby food to McDonald’s restaurants as they approached their teenage years. Next it was minivans and mini-mansions. What will this demographic bubble demand in retirement?

We are already seeing more crossover vehicle sales for easy access after that hip or knee replacement. The travel industry is pouring big dollars into cruise and riverboat advertising as more people retire and have time to go places. Stores and restaurants offer organic, gluten-free and non-processed foods for those choosing a healthy diet, perhaps in hopes of staving off the aging process.

lege of education expecting to make high salaries. I know because I married one.

Expectations rise later when they begin socializing with other teachers in the teachers’ lounge. Teachers by nature are risk averse and seek the security they find with labor unions and unabashed claims of righteousness defending what’s best for their children.

Compare teachers with science, business, engineering, and even liberal arts majors, who fill the vast majority of jobs in the private sector, where unlike teachers, they’re compensated for performance.

Smith Young Parker Vote for Laydon I’m thrilled to vote for Abe Laydon in the Douglas County Republican primary in June. Ballots will be mailed on Monday, June 4.

Here are some of the many reasons why Laydon is the best qualified candidate to serve as our county commissioner: Laydon is serving his second term on the Douglas County Planning Commission. This gives him invaluable insight and understanding into the growth, land use and private property rights issues in our county. Laydon has served on the executive board of the Douglas County Republicans, he is a former first vice-chair and treasurer.

Laydon has an extensive finance and budgeting background coupled with 15 years of complex legal and land-use experience. Laydon is the face of the next generation. Our future!

Laydon is also a husband, father, volunteer and dedicated neighbor and colleague. That’s why I’m voting for Abe Laydon!

Come up with some quirky characters who have quirky neighbors and quirky bosses. Be sure one of them says crude things, and one of them is stacked.

No matter what anyone says, every third line gets a laugh, provided by a laugh machine.

“I went to see my doctor today. I asked him if I needed glasses.”

“What did he say?”

“He said, `You sure do. This is a bank.’ ” This is where the engineer comes in with a pre-recorded laugh. It’s intended for anyone who doesn’t know if the character was kidding or not.

been everywhere in between. There have been times when I have forgotten about my book of records and achievements, and instead of looking on my past successes to motivate me, I found myself wrestling in slumps.

And then, somewhere deep inside I would hear the voice of my mentor saying, go back and look at your binder. So, I would open it, read a few of them, or more if I was really in a deep slump, and get fired up again about who I am and what I have accomplished in this life personally and professionally.

It really doesn’t matter if you are in sales, management, teaching, manufacturing, healthcare, or any other profession or volunteer position. My advice and encouragement is this, that you will create your own “Brag Book,” and that you will go back and read it often to help you stay motivated and to help drive your future success and contributions, and achieve your own goals and dreams.

And remember, it may only start with one, but success begets success, and just as my mentor had confidence in me, I am confident that you too will fill your binder and your walls with all of your own rewards, awards, and recognitions.

So how about you? Do you remember all the good and great things you have done in your life? Or do you need to be reminded of just how fantastic you really are? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can remember that yesterday’s achievement is really tomorrow’s success, it really will be a better than good week.

After graduation, I will be attending the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and will major in political acience.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

I hope to become successful and happy in life. I want to make myself proud, achieve my future goals and meet new people.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I plan on pursuing a career in family law. I’ve always wanted to be an attorney and

I’ve learned that every day you have the chance to influence others around you through the life you lead.

— Noraa Fort, Lutheran High School

— Savannah Howard, Mountain Vista High School

In high school I feel that I have learned how to enjoy the great times in life and battle through the toughest times in life — persevering no matter what obstacles get put in your way because life isn’t always easy. I think that is something I can take and apply to my entire life going forward, never giving up no matter what the circumstances are.

I have learned how valuable resilience and determination are. It’s always good to have dreams and plans, but adaptability is just as important. Just because something doesn’t go how you planned — a competition, a test, a friendship — doesn’t mean that it’s wrong.

— Cyra Gallano, STEM Highlands Ranch

— PJ Ausmus, Legend High School

I’ve learned the importance of time management and that without it, I would be behind in everything.

— Lauren Lippert, Mountain Vista High School

I think having a sense of humility in life is important. Even if you’re successful in everything you do, be humble, and don’t be afraid to learn from others.

— Gabriela Blanchard, Ponderosa High School

My dad has always said “If it were easy, everyone would do it.” I think hard work and not giving up are important to take with me into life.

— Isaac Power, Ponderosa High School

I’ve learned the value of time management and study skills, but I’ve also learned the importance of knowing when to lean on other people for support. I’ve learned how to deal with what you can’t control and to take advantage of things you can control. I also think it’s important to enjoy every moment.

Ashley Garcia Douglas County High School I played volleyball all four years of high school and was a part of NHS. I made some great memories and learned a lot but now it’s time for the next step.

For me, that is going to college at University of Northern Colorado to major in athletic training.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? In the future, I would like to be an athletic trainer for either college sports teams or professional sports teams. The main reason why I want to be an athletic trainer is because I want to help people and make sure athletes get the right medical help and also teach people how to prevent injuries. In today’s society, sports are really popular and it seems like too many athletes are getting hurt and I just want to be able to help in any way that I can. Also, the

medical field has always interested me and when I explored into it more, I found this and decided to go further with it.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

This may sound really cliché, but I want to just be happy in life. I want to give back to all the people that have helped me throughout my life and also help those that I don’t even know. I love spreading positivity and find that if you put happiness out into the world, it will come back to you. I don’t need much in life and honestly my biggest accomplishments come from happiness.

If I could do anything, it would be to…

If I could do anything, it would be to travel the world. I’ve always dreamt of traveling and to this day it is on the top of my bucket list.

John Bustamante Highlands Ranch High School The first few years of high school I wasn’t involved too much, and that honestly was really big regret for me.

But senior year I joined this class called ACE, which stands Alternative Cooperative Education. They did a lot of projects outside of the classroom.

They partnered with Big Idea, which partners mentors with students to go out into the community and find a problem and try and solve it.

We actually just presented our final projects and made it to state. I ended up winning $250 worth of scholarship money. When I started getting more involved, things started to come out better for me.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I’m not planning on going to college right after high school. I was planning on working and saving up money.

After that I want to go to college and learn about sports nutrition or sports science. For me, it’s really enjoyable to watch and see how much science goes into an athlete’s peak performance.

That would be nice, to be able to make money off of something I like to do.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

I hope to leave the world better than I found it. I want to help a lot of people and be a good person and go out in my community. I feel like especially with the class, ACE, it taught me a lot of people aren’t performing to their potential because they don’t have people helping them. I can’t solve everything, but I can give people the support they need.

If I could do anything, it would be to…

Travel this next year. That would be pretty cool to take a whole trip around the globe. Especially because I don’t have anything to worry about at the moment.

What have you learned that you will carry with you for the rest of your life?

One of the most important things I’ve learned is how to adapt to change, and how to change what you expect. Things may not always work out in your favor, but you have to be able to change and still go on with what you want.

Yosheb Getachew Lutheran High School Getachew played football and track and was a member of the National Honor Society and Student Council.

He will be attending Stanford University in California.

What profession or career do you want to pursue and why?

As of now I am pursuing a career in neuroscience, specifically the aspect of research. There are so many neuroscience diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, that I would like to help control and prevent. I have always had aspirations to attend

an Ivy League school.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

I want my life to have meaning beyond a superficial existence.

I want to increase the quality of living by helping my fellow man. I want success in whatever I do.

If you could do anything, what would it be?

Professionally, I would like to be the person who breaks through the scientific barrier that opens the brain for us to study and treat illnesses. Personally, I would like to own a private island.

David Painter Legend High School Painter was home schooled until his freshman year at Legend. Once enrolled at Legend he joined the Thespians Society, was a member of the National Honors Society, National English Honors Society, Tri-M Music Honors Society and Choir Council.

Painter plans to attend the University of Denver, where he will major in Film Studies and Production.

What profession or career to you want to pursue?

At DU, I plan on majoring in Film Studies & Production. Which, I guess in a nutshell means I want to be a filmmaker. But I truly have always found a passion in making movies specifically.

I have never wanted to be a videographer who films commercials/promo videos for a living. I think that aspect of film making is not fun (at least for me). I think the reason I love fulllength professional films in particular, is because I have loved watching (and making) movies ever since I was a little kid. It’s always been apart of my childhood that I can cherish. I think that there is a certain magic that occurs in a movie, that happens nowhere else.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

This question is hard for me, because I think no matter how much I would like to say I have all of my goals and aspirations figured out, I know that they all are not. But as for now, I think that one of the biggest things

I hope to accomplish is success. I know that may sound cliche, but truly I do. I think a lot of people approach an answer like that and robotically assume that by saying “success” I mean money, and all the luxuries that come with it (granted, that wouldn’t suck either).

In all honesty, I want more success with myself, than being considered “successful” by the outside. I want to be able to look back on what I’ve done and be proud of my success and more importantly, my progression as an individual.

If I could do anything, it would be...

Well, I’m not quite sure if I should take this question literally, or take the more “philosophical” approach, so I guess I’ll do both!

If I could do anything literally, I would want to be able to have a superpower. Specifically, I would want telekinesis. Because it’s such a versatile superpower. I mean, wanna fly? Move your body with your brain. Wanna have super strength? Move a car with you brain.

If I could do anything philosophically, I would say I would get the nicest camera I could, and travel around the world to try and spread positivity in any way that I could. I, myself have always been optimistic. My mom told me I came into the world with a smile on my face, and I don’t think that’s changed much in the last 18 years. I have always loved being happy, and I think especially in our world today, people just need more happiness.

Madison Tenney

Dana Coe Rock Canyon High School I am and have been involved with art my whole life as I love everything about it! The way it makes me feel, how it communicates, and how pleasing to the eye it can be, gets to me. I have participated in a lot of clubs including Red Cross, German, Eco, SMILE and am even an officer in the Biotechnology club. I have also participated in sports including field hockey and was on the first ever Girl’s Lacrosse team here at Rock Canyon. As of next year, I have declared myself to major in Bioengineering at CU Boulder.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? I intend to be a bioengineer! Everything about biology and chemistry interest me —especially on a molecular level. The awesome thing about being an engineer is it’s not only having the

knowledge in the field, but it’s applying the knowledge and skills gained in the major to solve real world issues.

I’m beyond excited to start my life path!

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

All cheesiness aside, through my knowledge, I simply want to make the world better than what it is. To eliminate a suffering for a large amount of people is my ultimate goal.

If I could do anything, it would be to…

Eliminate disease, hunger, poverty, violence and injustice. Haha!

Very unrealistic, I know. If you’re looking for something a bit more realistic, if I could do anything, it would be to do art for a living and have my paintings sell for millions!

STEM School Highlands Ranch Tenney participates in student government, National Honor Society, and Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica. She’s also a member of Girls in STEM Denver. This fall, she will be attending the University of Kansas and will major in political science and economics.

What profession or career do you want to pursue? Why? My family, teachers and mentors have done an amazing job at convincing me that I can be anything that my heart desires. I have been exposed to countless professions, all of which seemed perfectly fitting when introduced. It seemed that each week I would have a new career in sight. One of my mentors would always joke, “Madison is

going to be president one day!” She said it enough that I started to believe it. From there, I began to associate my academic interests of history, English and economics with my passion for politics. I intend to pursue a career as a constitutional lawyer or political consultant.

What do you hope to accomplish in life?

Over the course of my lifetime, I hope to make meaningful and positive relationships with those that I meet. I want to grow and learn with each obstacle I face. Most of all though, I want to make a mark on the world with my work, in whichever way I deem possible.

If I could do anything, it would be to ...

Spend time traveling abroad to study the influence of politics on culture.

What have you learned that you will carry with you for the rest of your life?

Something I have learned in high school is that you can find friends in the most unlikely places. No matter what the situation is you will always find a friend.

Throughout my high school years, I have learned that through hard work and the right mindset you can obtain the goals you set. Whether it’s to make the varsity team, get a 4.0, or just graduate, if you keep your goal in mind and the steps you need to get it, you will achieve it.

— Emily Conway, Highlands Ranch High School

— Maddy Ketron, Douglas County High School

Uncomfortable situations can be really beneficial to your experience in high school. They force you to work with people you may not get along with and meet new people.

I have learned to always put God first no matter what I do because I am made in His image.

— Dawson Drew, SkyView Academy

The biggest thing I have learned throughout my time at Castle View is to never lose sight of the end goal! Although at times high school hasn’t always been the easiest and most fun, it’s all going to be worth it after I graduate.

— Ryan Remy, Castle View High School

An important lesson that I learned in high school would be how to work with different kinds of people and how important unity is when trying to achieve a goal. I learned that working for a cause bigger than yourself not only affects you positively, but that it can change somebody’s life.

LIFE ADVICE FOR COSPLAY

A guide for those new to

Comic Con

Advice for the event, cosplaying and collecting

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For first-timers or the uninitiated in the world of comic conventions, Denver’s annual Comic Con can be an intimidating experience.

The sprawling event, which is June 15-17 this year, brings upward of 100,000 nerds, cosplayers and collectors into the Colorado Convention Center for fun, exploration and connection.

“There’s a sense of community that comes with these kinds of events, because everyone shares the same passions,” said Tara Hubner, marketing and communications manager with Pop Culture Classroom, which puts on the con every year. “For a lot of people, this is the only time they get to see some of these people, so it’s like a big SEE COMIC, P30

• One of the best parts about Comic Con is seeing the truly exceptional cosplay work so many people are capable of creating. There are the expected super heroes and science fiction leads, but there’s always more than a few surprises. Don’t be shy to ask to take a photo with a particular favorite — most are very friendly and willing to pose.

• At the Comic Con website, there are guidelines for what cosplayers are and are not allowed to wear and bring in as props. Hubner said cosplayers need to be covered enough that there’s no risk of “wardrobe malfunctions” and said that as a general rule, if a person isn’t sure about a certain prop or outfit, it’s better to leave it at home.

• Littleton’s Reinke Brothers Halloween Costume and Superstore is a great place for cosplayers of all skill levels to suit up, especially as it’s one of the few costume stores open year-round.

“We have the latest and greatest costumes, parts and pieces to make a great outfit,” said Greg “Shof” Shofner, general manager of the store, located at 5663 S. Prince St. “Comic Con gives us a great boost every year, and we start our ordering in January to make sure we have enough of all the costumes.”

Over the years, the store has built up relationships with reputable manufacturers, so all the costumes they sell are properly licensed.

• A big key to the success of many cosplay outfits is the makeup and prosthetics, and Reinke has experts in those areas as well to help provide that movie quality look.

• As Shofner tells it, the key is to get started working on outfits as soon as possible, in case there need to be last-minute alterations.

BASICS TO KNOW

• It’s downtown Denver, so parking is always going to be tricky and potentially expensive, Hubner said. Pop Culture’s recommendation is to park farther away and take a Lyft or Uber, or take the light rail, since there is a stop right at the convention center. That same weekend PrideFest and the Denver BBQ Festival will be happening, so expect downtown to be extra busy.

• With attendance last year topping about 115,000 people, attendees should be prepared for lines and waiting at the June 15-17 event. June 16, a Saturday, will be the busiest day, so Friday or Sunday would be a good day to visit to deal with fewer people.

“The schedule for the con will be announced about two weeks out, and we encourage people to take a look at it and get a game

plan, so they don’t lose time wandering,” Hubner said. “We advise attendees to wear comfortable shoes, brings snacks and water to help them.”

• The vast majority of the artists and authors who will be speaking are available for photos and autographs for free, but when it comes to major celebrities, there’s more to consider. Tickets to those events can be bought in advance or at the event, but fans should be prepared for lines.

According to Hubner, lines for photo ops or autographs can take 30 minutes to an hour. “We recommend people go to the celebrity summit first thing and get a sense of the times when their celebrity will be making an appearance,” she said. “Then get there early if you don’t want to spend a

lot of time waiting.”

• There are plenty of ATMS around the center, but using them usually requires more waiting in lines, so bring cash if possible.

• Consider staying after hours. A fun part of the con is all the new people that attendees meet, and there are several after-party events available to keep the good times going.

• One of the biggest piece of advice Hubner has is to not be intimidated. There will be volunteers spread all over the con who will be more than willing to answer questions and provide guidance.

“We’re a very welcoming place, and there’s always someone willing to help,” she said.

“We want everyone to have a good time while they’re here.”

Young actress isn’t just going through a stage

N

ot many people are lucky enough to know what they do with their lives by the time they reach important milestones like graduating from high school. So, I’m not sure if there’s a name for how lucky 10-year-old Arvadan Payton Maynard is — she’s known she wanted to act since she was 2 years old.

“When I was 2, my mom started noticCOMING ing I was really good ATTRACTIONS at memorizing stuff, and could do it quickly,” she said. “That was kind of the start, and by the time I was 6, we started looking for an agency.”

In the ensuing years Maynard has worked in several independent films Clarke Reader and was recently cast as one of the leads in a new mystery and science fiction TV series called “Frozen Dead” about cryogenics that is filming in Nederland. And she recently took to the stage for the first time in the role of the Young Queen Elizabeth II in Aurora’s Vintage Theatre’s production of “The Audience.”

“What I like about the theater is you can react to the audience and they can react to you. When you’re doing film or TV, you don’t get that connection,” she said. “It’s been my favorite acting experience yet. I think it has so much potential to make me grow as actress and person.”

As someone who has been acting locally for so much of her life, Maynard has seen more film and TV opportunities become available in the metro area, but still not as many as places like Los Angeles and New York City.

“Last summer got to be an extra in a feature film called ‘Unmarked,’ and now this TV series,” she said.

“We’ll be continuing work on it through the summer and will start shopping it around in August. I do have a five-year commitment if it gets picked up.”

As to what Maynard’s future holds, in addition to acting she loves dance, so she wants to continue her studies in the fields of dance, drama and acting, and may even consider teaching at the Doral Academy in Westminster — the school she currently attends.

“When I get on the stage, I get to leave the past behind and make a new future for myself,” she said. “I want the chance to inspire other kids to do what they love and be what they want to be.”

Parker gallery offers intriguing look at fiber art

A

utumnal Equinox” by Aurora fiber artist Diana Vander Does hangs just inside the entrance into the gallery at the PACE Center in Parker. It’s included in an exhibit, “Contrast,” by the adventurous Front Range Contemporary Quilters, which runs through June 25. Curator Rose Fredrick comments that this exhibit “offers SONYA’S a chance to see the familiar in a new SAMPLER way.” The juror was Linda Colsh. Vander Does’ brilliant red work begins with a digital image print on fabric. Then it is stitched in a more traditional manner — but not quite!

Perhaps inspired by a Japanese maple Sonya Ellingboe tree, it’s part of an adventurous collection of fiber art pieces that includes some clothing and other works that will surprise. Open during business hours at the center and of course, during performances. Allow extra time to look at the gallery and the halls. PACE is at 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker.

Pianist is Jamie Shaak. The Brahms concerto premiered in 1859 with the composer at the keyboard.

ACC releases 2018 issue of prestigious Progenitor

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Progenitor: A person who first thinks of something and causes it to happen. This definition faces an opening letter from the co-editors, Arapahoe Community College students Cara Allen and Rachel Lozano, in the 2018 edition of Progenitor, Art and Literary Journal 2018.

The beautifully produced journal is available free, at the college library, the Welcome Desk on the second floor and in the Community Section of the Aspen Grove Tattered Cover Bookstore in Littleton, Allen said.

They comment that “by working with myriad contributors, each one proud to bring forth their life’s experiences, we strived to create a magazine of pure excellence, while embracing the theme of regrowth out of the ruins of everyday life. More important, these works suggest that there will always be hope that humanity will be seen through the cracks of a cold and brutal world …”

The 53rd annual edition of Progenitor was introduced May 2 with a celebration in the Colorado Gallery

of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College. Contributing writers read from and spoke about their pieces, and editors of the journal talked about the logistics of selecting the varied 2018 works from materials submitted.

Submissions were chosen from students and from working writers across the country, submitted between October and February, and the journal is produced by students enrolled in English 231 and Multimedia and Graphic Design 280 at ACC, with funding provided by the School of Communications, Humanities, Art and Design.

On more than one occasion, most recently, 2017, Progenitor was honored with the asard for Most Outstanding Community College Literary-Art Magazine by the American Scholastic Press Association. Other awards have also accumulated through the years for this classy production.

Winners in the yearly ACC literary Festival and the annual Student Art Juried Exhibition are included in the collection each year, providing an added incentive to enter.

Entries were received in poetry, art, fiction and nonfiction and reviewed by the staff. The faculty advisers

were Andrea Mason, English, and John Hall, graphic design, as well as Colorado Gallery of the Arts director Trish Sangelo. In addition to Allen and Lozano, student staff included: Rosette Rivera, literary and art general editor; Hollie Giannaula, creative director; Britni Azam, poetry editor; Donna Debacco, web editor; Kera Morris, fiction editor; Milo Shattell, art/ photography editor; Bryden Smith, nonfiction editor.

Art photos include entries in the annual student show and others, including student Jadon Gold’s humorous “Origami Forest Fire,” while written pieces include “Wind Song” by Jane Adair, an award-winning Colorado writer; “Eden,” by Darryl Halbrooks, a Writers Studio Literary Contest winner; and Writers Studio Poetry winner “¡Oye! ¡Gringo!” by Brian Dickson, who teaches at Community College of Denver. The graphic design of the cover is cleverly carried into the journal, with a special ending to each written work.

From its crisp cover design of a city growing roots to its collection of polished work, Progenitor 2018 is a treat for the reader. Seek a copy!

3 photographers exhibit powerful images in Littleton

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

IF YOU GO

“Past and Future Focus,” displayed in the Stanton Gallery in downtown Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center from May 12 through June 22, accompanies the last production of the theater’s season: “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” which features the rollicking keyboard music of Jelly Roll Morton, with a story and a song or two ... The exhibit explores both historic film and contemporary digital photography.

Curator Moira Casey reports that three photographers will participate in “Past and Future Focus”: Karen Zink of Littleton; Tony Lazzari of Roxborough — an exhibiting member of the new Roxarts Gallery at Aspen Grove; and David M. Parks, who grew up in Denver. Each has a story to tell — as did Fats Waller!

Thought-provoking images by Karen Zink, a longtime resident of Littleton, include carefully composed collages using everyday objects. She said, “Explaining my art is like trying to hold on to fog or a dream. I work in several areas of photography, some old processes, Polaroid transfers, black and white, color, using different formats, now including digital.” She aims for a personal response from the viewer, especially women probably.

“I often describe what I do as creating inner landscapes, or personal stories, ones that we own ourselves, rather than documenting the external world.”

“Past and Future Focus” is displayed in Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street, Littleton, through June 22. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances.

303-794-2787.

She adds that her dreams are a source of ideas. “Then again, sometimes I just try to make something of beauty.”

Tony Lazzari, who is surrounded by natural beauty where he lives in Roxborough, write that he has mostly lived in the Midwest until a 2013 move to Colorado. In the past several years, he has discovered the natural beauty and the pleasure of learning the craft of photography and exhibiting his images — especially landscapes and night scenes — in Denver, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and Littleton, as well as across the U.S. He enjoys experimenting with a variety of lenses and is spending time on urban and street photography.

David M. Parks moved to Denver with his family at age 3, grew up and spent four years in the Navy. He returned and “pursued a career path in aviation,” while developing a parallel interest in photography, gaining formal training at the former Metropolitan State College. He also enjoyed roaming the streets and alleys during 1977 to 1983, using mostly black-and-white film. He participated in juried shows in Spark Gallery and at the Littleton

In the Stanton Gallery art show with “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” Karen Zink of Littleton creates collages with memorabilia and then records the message they bring. Her work will be exhibited until mid-June in Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton.

PHOTO BY KAREN ZINK Museum in 2015, and in the Cincinnati FotoFocus in 2016.

The images presented at Stanton Gallery are stills from film canisters that were unintentionally stored for 35 years, until they were discovered and processed in 2017. “In all the time since they were manufactured, they had 1/250th second of light and years

of darkness. It is more than just seeing what time has done to the emulsion, but that the textures produced lead us to imagine that something is not quite right with the world. The water and skies are electrified and objects seem to fly through the air. Humanity is gone.

All that is left are the structures and tools.”

Eye of the Camera winners show works in museum Littleton venue offers photo exhibition as part of yearly contest

the plains — and the fascinating blackand-white image, “Alice’s World,” that again is full of possible stories. A visit to Schnelzer’s website gallery is rewarding for its breadth of subjects and intensity — certainly true of this exhibit in the freshly painted gallery.

Musicians who play other instruments are welcome to audition; the orchestra is happy to add musicians to the substitute list.

Denver Pops is a volunteer organization that performs a variety of popular music, including Broadway and movie arrangements, dance and big

band tunes, and light classical pieces.

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings, and the season runs from late August to mid-May, with six to seven performances per season.

For auditions, musicians are expected to perform two excerpts of tje applicant’s choosing — a classical

excerpt and a pops or jazz excerpt and sight reading.

Auditions take place the evening of May 30 at 975 S. Balsam Court, Lakewood.

Go to www.denverpopsorchestra. org for information and to schedule an audition.

light” he wrote, “and I attempt to make the lights look like they were brushed on. I use movement to create shapes and I often shoot through glass to bend the light, which produces more colors … (`Peacock’ was shot through a vase.) Sharing my photos sometimes reminds me of a Rorschach ink blot test … Each viewer usually sees something different …

Now rotate the image 90 or 120 degrees … Does change the perspective?”

This photographer wrote that he is fairly new to digital photography. He

has a BFA in graphic design, worked in computer-aided drafting and then switched careers when his son “suffered a traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident and I helped him rehabilitate. It was very fulfilling so I switched fields.

Now, I work at a nonprofit helping individuals with developmental disabilities work at various jobs.” Caulfield said he paints in his Lakewood living room and wishes viewers could rotate his works for differing images.

He also wishes no titles were needed,

“but that tends to be quite confusing.”

The 2017 exhibit was the 52nd annual edition of this popular show. Early Littleton Fine Arts Board member Gene Kramer thought it would expand on the board’s goal of providing exhibition opportunities for artists, as well as providing local art lovers with an opportunity to not only see, but perhaps buy art. (Caulfield happily reported that five of his images have found buyers.) The Fine Arts Board is appointed by the Littleton City Council. Denise Weed is chair.

‘Sully’ soon will headline Centennial Airport’s 50th Renowned pilot to appear at event benefiting local aviation, aerospace programs

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One of the busiest general-aviation airports in the country will host famed “miracle on the Hudson” pilot Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger for its 50th anniversary celebration.

The gala luncheon May 25 will see Sullenberger share his credo of “leadership by personal example.” Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Centennial Airport Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports local STEM education and programs, particularly those with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace.

The audience at the Denver Marriott Tech Center will hear an address from Sullenberger about the life lessons that prepared him to handle the historic moment when he saved 155 lives on a flight that landed in the Hudson River.

On Jan. 15, 2009, Sullenberger lost thrust in both engines on US Airways Flight 1549 and led his crew to safely execute an emergency water landing on the river in New York. Sullenberger and the crew garnered widespread acclaim for their actions, including the passage of a congressional resolution in their honor. The crisis came

to be known as the “miracle on the Hudson” and inspired the 2016 motion picture “Sully,” in which Tom Hanks portrayed Sullenberger.

Coming back to Centennial Airport to talk about leadership seemed natural for Sullenberger, who served as a fighter pilot for the Air Force from 1975-80.

Originally the Arapahoe County Airport, it’s a place he became acquainted with nearly five decades ago.

“When I entered the U.S. Air Force Academy, I already held a commercialpilot certificate that I had earned while still in high school,” said Sullenberger, a Texas native. “During the Thanksgiving weekend of my freshman year, I traveled to the Arapahoe County Airport to fly a Cessna 172 to get some flight time and maintain my piloting skills. I flew an hour-long flight that day. Over my four years at the academy, I had occasion to fly into (the airport) a few times.”

In a changing commercial-aviation industry landscape, Sullenberger’s speech comes at a time when the future of the craft depends heavily on young hopefuls for pilot and technician positions.

The nonprofit Centennial Airport Foundation supports local STEM education and programs, particularly with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace.

The airport’s executive director, Robert Olislagers, reflected on Centennial Airport’s growth as an influential

The Care You Need. The Life You Want.

IF YOU GO The Centennial Airport 50th-anniversary gala is May 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Denver Marriott Tech Center at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver. Individual tickets are $250 each. Table sponsorships, beginning at $3,000, are also available. Proceeds go to benefit the Centennial Airport Foundation. Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/SULLYmedia. For assistance with tickets or sponsorships, contact 720-985-8580 or events@centennialairport.com.

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

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

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial. It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the country. part of the south Denver metro area.

“From humble beginnings in 1968, Centennial Airport has grown to become one of the most respected, premier business airports in the nation,” Olislagers said. It is “an integral part of the economic success of the Denver

and panels with all manners of creatives, it can be easy, especially for first-timers, to feel lost and unsure about what is acceptable and allowed by visitors.

Pop culture Classroom set up a section of its website at www.denvercomiccon.com/ new-to-the-con/ to answer questions, and we spoke to Hubner and other participants to give advice for those new to the con.

• Despite all the hoopla over celebrities and special events, Denver Comic Con very much still treasures the comic culture that created this cultural movement. Comic stores and dealers from the metro area and beyond will be selling current and classic books, and many stellar artists and writers will be on hand as well.

• Andrew Middleton, a comic expert at Colorado Coins, Cards and Comics in Arvada, has attended the Comic Con numerous times, and said he loves meeting the variety of people who show up to share their love of the form.

“There’s not one kind of person who loves comic books anymore,” he said.

“My favorite part of the con is meeting people who you wouldn’t think are into this stuff, but it turns out really love it.”

• There are two classes of comic buyers, as Middleton sees it — those who like to read the books and those who want to collect them. Those who want to read them are going to be focused on stories and characters, whereas the col-

bass, drums, piano and vocals — and take their talents to stages in Denver and beyond.

School of Rock students will get the chance to live the life of a bar band at Moe’s Original BBQ, 3295 S. Broadway, at noon on Saturday, May 18, with their performance of The Doors vs.

Jefferson Airplane.

A pair of 1960s psychedelic rock titans, both bands made an enormous impact on musicians of the time and those still following in their footsteps 50 years later.

Audiences will have the opportunity to decide which band is the better as students perform some of both bands’ best. For information and tickets, visit moesdenver.com/englewood-bbqrestaurant-sports-bar/events.

lectors are going to be more interested in certain issues and willing to spend more money.

Attendees should determine where their interests lie, as that will help guide their shopping.

• One of the best things about the con, Middleton said, is meeting the local and regional artists that most shoppers won’t find online or in stores. Instead, they have the chance to buy them right from the source.

• As with most things related to Comic Con, Middleton’s advice is to do research in advance. If a shopper is searching for a particular issue or collectible item, doing some research online will help narrow down the retailers to meet.

“Most of these people are experts, so keep in mind the stories or characters you most care about, and they can offer recommendations,” he added. “Some vendors are going to feature the latest books, while others will be looking to highlight the rare stuff.”

in the metro area is the annual Five Points Jazz Festival, which will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 19 and go to 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 20.

The free, family-friendly festival features more than 45 bands playing on 10 stages on Welton Street, between 26th and 29th streets. Musicians will be performing all kinds of subgenres, from jazz and bop to swing and funk. Other activities include an art and food marketplace, a musicians’ jam session, film screenings, and a family zone featuring yoga, face painting, a giant slide, jumpy castle and more.

This year’s grand marshals are Wende Harston and Jim “Daddio” Walker.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Japandroids at the Ogden Last year, Vancouver’s Japandroids reaffirmed their status as one of the purest rock bands working in modern music with their third album, “Near to the Wild Heart of Life.”

I saw them on their first tour in years that March and they completely blew me away.

Which means I can objectively say that nobody should miss Japandroids as they stop by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Avenue, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22.

Not only will the show feature Japandroids but indie rock legends Wolf Parade. The group made some of the early 2000’s catchiest rock records and went on indefinite hiatus in 2011.

The group returned in January of last year and released a great album called “Cry Cry Cry” in October.

Together, Japandroids and Wolf Parade make up one of the best bills of the year, so tickets should be purchased posthaste. Visit www.ogdentheatre.com/events/detail/348589 for tickets and more.

Golfer demonstrates unpredictability of the game

Baseball teams set for state tournament STAFF REPORT

After regional tournaments May 12 and 13, teams are set to compete in the Class 3A, 4A and 5A double-elimination portion of the state baseball tournaments.

Mountain Vista, Arapahoe, Heritage and Rock Canyon are south metro 5A teams that advanced. Valor Christian will be seeking its third straight 4A title and Lutheran is in the 3A field.

Games during the first two days of the 5A state bracket on May 18-19 will be played at All-City Stadium and Metro State. Games for the final two days of the 5A event on May 2526 will be held at All-City Stadium.

The 4A tournament will be held at All-Star Park in Lakewood and Bishop Machebeuf High School the first two days before moving to Metro State on May 25-26.

The 3A tournament will be held in Greeley at Butch Butler Field and at Niwot High School.

Mountain Vista, which routed Mullen 17-2 in the opener, beat Legend 10-5 to win the Region 1 championship and advanced to the doubleelimination state tournament. Grant Magill went 3-for-3 and drove in two runs against Legend and Sam Ireland also had three hits and two

RBIs. Ireland had three hits and five RBIs in the victory over Mullen.

Justin Boyd and Hank Bard each had a pair of hits for the Titans in the game against Vista.

Arapahoe edged Fort Collins, 5-2, to win the Region 2 championship.

The Warriors collected 14 hits against the Lambkins, who beat

Douglas County 3-2 in 10 innings, to advance to the finals.

Preston Scheidt and Brandon Dryer each had three hits and Dryer drove in three runs to pace the Arapahoe attack. Dryer also had three hits and three RBIs in the Warriors’ 12-0 opening win over Prairie View.

Heritage captured the Region 5 title with a 9-4 victory over Chaparral.

The Eagles, which beat Chaparral 9-8 in eight innings on April 30, were led offensively by junior Eric McKnight who went 4-for-4, scored twice and had three RBIs in the 15hit attack.

Rock Canyon knocked off perennial state contender Cherry Creek, 5-4, to win the Region 8 title. The Jaguars went 13 innings before earning a 6-4 victory over Monarch to move on to the title game.

Valor Christian, which edged Kennedy 2-1 in the first game, posted an 11-4 victory over Berthoud to win the 4A Region 5 title. It was the 15th straight win for the two-time defending 4A state champion Eagles.

Lutheran rode the one-hit pitching of junior Corbyn Seymore to a 7-0 shutout over Bennett in the finals of the Class 3A Region 2 tournament.

Jacob Chwialkowski had three hits and Noa Vogel got two hits and three RBIs to pace the Lions’ offense.

t’s been said many times that golf is an unpredictable sport that requires plenty of mental grit.

For myself, golf has always been pretty predictably bad, with a few good shots and holes but very few OVERTIME good rounds. And the mental fortitude has always been missing, since after a good hole, I have myself talked into botching the tee shot on the next hole.

Highlands Ranch Jim Benton senior Jenna Chun know all about how golf can be unpredictable, but she has the mental strength to handle it, as she displayed last season at the Class 5A state tournament.

After an opening round 83 at The Club at Rolling Hills, she rallied with a 1-under par 71 to tie Grandview’s Amy Chitkoksoong for medalist honors and force a playoff for the individual state title.

Chun had a chance to win but missed a putt on the second playoff hole and also couldn’t hole a bogey putt on the third extra hole. Chitkoksoong ran in her bogey putt and was crowned the state champ with a bogey putt.

It was a disheartening finish to a very good day but Chun faced the music, acted like a winner and answered question after question following the awards ceremonies.

“The best I’ve ever seen Jenna Chun was after the state meet,” said Highlands Ranch coach Jon Cushing. “She took defeat with a lot of grace. Golf is such a mental sport.

She has come back this year with a great mental attitude. She doesn’t let one high score on a hole affect her.”

Chun, who carded a two-over-par 74 at the Central regional tournament at South Suburban on May 7, won three Continental League tournaments and the league’s Player of the Year.

Ralston Valley coach Wendy Davis is another person who can attest to the unpredictability of a two-day state tournament.

The Mustangs were five shots off the lead after the opening round but won their first state golf championship by nine shots after a remarkable round in which the average round for the three scoring golfers was 76.3.

Cherry Creek girls capture state tennis crown

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tennis is in the blood of Cherry Creek’s freshman twin sisters Eliza and Nicole Hill.

It’s something natural for them because the family has played and watched a lot of tennis.

The sisters helped the Bruins win the Class 5A state championship May 11 at the Gates Tennis Center.

Eliza won the No. 2 singles state title when she defeated Alexis Bernthal of Fairview, 6-1, 6-3. Nicole captured the No. 3 singles crown with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Jenesse Johnson of Denver East.

The Bruins easily won their second straight state title and 34th overall with 85 points compared to 38 for runner-up Poudre.

BENTON FROM PAGE 32

Wait until next year Next season’s Class 5A girls state tennis tournament could be interesting because most of the freshman standouts from this year will be back.

Six of the 12 players in the Class 5A singles semifinals were freshmen.

Thirty-one freshmen played in the tournament and even more sophomores qualified — too many to count.

The youth movement cast a tentative

ThunderRidge, Regis Jesuit, Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista finished in a four-way tie for sixth place with 15 points each.

Eliza and Nicole are the latest in the Hill family to enjoy state tournament success, and neither sister lost a set all season. Their father, Rob, was a state singles champion at Manual. Mother Julie was a double champ at Cherry Creek. Robby, now a freshman at Villanova, was a No. 2 singles champion for Creek in 2016 and brother Drew, a junior, was second at No. 1 doubles last fall.

“I’ve been coming here for so long watching my brothers, cheering them on and now I finally got to play on these courts,” said Eliza. “It’s amazing. I don’t have words to describe how great this is, coming in as a freshman and

taking the state championship.”

Eliza played at No. 2 singles after beating her sister in two early season challenge matches.

“I got lucky,” said Eliza. “I’m not better than her. We usually split wins depending on who has the better day. I just happened to have two better days.”

Nicole echoed her sister’s thoughts about winning a state title after watching her brothers and then emphasized there was no pressure about playing in a Cherry Creek program that has had so much success in tennis.

Besides the Hills, the Bruins won three doubles titles as Micha Handler and Miranda Kawula were first in No. 1 doubles, Anna Fusaris and Halley Mackiernan at No. 2 doubles,

and Emily Wilkins and Dahlia Rappaport captured the No. 4 doubles crown.

The tournament was condensed to two days from three because of the threat of rainy weather on May 12, but the change didn’t stop Rock Canyon sophomore Meghna Chowdhury from making school history.

She became the first Rock Canyon player to advance to the state finals.

She lost 6-4, 6-4 in the No. 1 singles finale to Poudre’s Ky Eaton, who won her second straight championship.

“When I first got on the court, it was nerve-racking, with so many people with cameras,” said Chowdhury, who didn’t qualify for the state tournament last season. “But this was the first time anybody from Rock Canyon has made the finals. “

feeling over the tournament because of the uncertainty of how the players would play with the added pressure of an important tournament with more people watching.

“One of the points of focus was just talking about the environment,” said Cherry Creek coach Chris Jacob.

“Even though we hosted the regionals and some of the girls have been down here to watch state, it’s totally different when you are playing with the pressure of the crowd.”

Of the 11 players including those on doubles teams that won state 5A cham-

pionships, there were seven freshman and two sophomores.

teams continue to play, but then you get into the problem with fatigue and the chance of injuries. A team’s depth would be tested as more substitute players would need to be used.

So suggestions are needed. Maybe let the teams continue to play 9 vs. 9 or even 7 vs. 7 until a team gets that Golden Goal.

Soccer shootouts I’m going to get on my soapbox again and claim there needs to be a better way to determine winners of playoff soccer games other than penalty kick shootouts.

Soccer is a team game. Determining the winning postseason team with a shootout, which most times is determined by luck or an individual’s skill, needs to be altered.

The best way would be to let the

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.
