Three Douglas County residents receive medals to show gratitude

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com

Joy. Disbelief. Honor.

Mixed emotions were felt by the three Douglas County veterans who received medals May 17 at the Castle Rock American

Legion meeting for their service during the Korean War. “I didn’t think anybody even remembered us,” said Hal NewVille, a Lone Tree resident who served as a combat engineer with the Army.

NewVille and Castle Rock residents George Franicevic and Jim Redmond are the newest recipients of the Korean Ambassador for Peace Medal, which was created by the South Veterans continues on Page 15

Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen is leaving to assume the top position in the Humble Independent School District in Texas, a district of 39,000 students about 20 miles Fagen outside of Houston.

“Humble ISD is an excellent school district — a great match for me personally and professionally,” she wrote in an email sent to district staff after the Humble school board confirmed her at its May 24 meeting as the finalist. “And I am very grateful for the opportunity they have offered me.”

Fagen, hired by the Douglas County School Board in 2010, said in her email she expects to leave by mid-July. Texas law requires a 21-day waiting period between naming of the lone finalist and the school board’s final approval. That vote would come on June 14.

Fagen attended the May 24 meeting in Humble with her husband and two daughters.

DCSD Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn praised Fagen’s accomplishments.

“Dr. Fagen has led many changes and improvements in the past six years …,” Silverthorn said in a news release sent the evening of May 24 by the school district.

“We’re grateful for her tireless service and commitment to education. We wish her and her family all the best in her future endeavors.”

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

SUSANA GUERRA

Medical/legal interpreter My career I am a medical and legal interpreter.

I don’t have a job here yet. I’m working on that. I have an interview for a project manager position.

Hobbies take me outdoors I love to snowboard. I like paddle boarding, hiking, biking, rollerblading,

Zumba, anything that’s active I do. I care a lot about my health, and I want to keep healthy, so I try to eat right and exercise as well. My favorite thing to do outside is biking.

Helping is my passion Helping others inspires me. That’s why I love my job. It’s my passion to break that communication barrier between Spanishspeaking patients at the hospital and English-speaking doctors. I was born in El Salvador, and I came here when I was 9 years old. I lived in El Salvador during the war.

So when I came here I would interview for everybody, my grandfather, for my dad. My grandfather won the Powerball, and he went to spin the wheel. They didn’t have interpreters back then, so they used me. I was like 12; that was my first job, on TV. He won $100,000.

If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Rick Gustafson at rickgustafson.net.

On May 17, a new Lone Tree City Council was sworn into office. Jackie Millet’s switch from District 1 council representative to her new position as mayor left the council short one member. On April 7, the city posted a notice announcing that applications were being accepted for candidates to serve out the remaining two years of Millet’s term.

After a series of interviews with candidates, the members of the new council narrowed a field of seven to one, Henry “Jay” Carpenter.

Carpenter has lived in Lone Tree for 16 years, ever since moving to Colorado in 2000. He and his wife, Melissa, are raising their family in the city, and all four of his children were born at Sky Ridge Medical Center. He is an active parent and has coached his son’s flag football team for eight seasons.

Originally from Villanova, outside Philadelphia, Carpenter received his bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Richmond in 1992 and for the last 12 years has been a financial adviser at Ameriprise Financial Services in Denver.

“I tend to help individuals and small business owners budget,” Carpenter said. “We budget their financial lives now as well as plan for their futures, plan for retirement or whatever financial goals they have.”

Carpenter feels that his background in financial services will be beneficial in helping the city budget and plan for its growth.

For the last 12 years, Carpenter has been involved with the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree Relay for Life, a fundraiser benefiting the American

Cancer Society.

“I’ve been involved with that in various capacities. I’m a former chair… and I’ve been on the committee for probably the last eight years,” he said.

Since 2010, Carpenter has also served as the vice chair and chair of the Lone Tree Advisory Recreation Committee, which led to increased involvement with the city council, mayor and Carpenter city staff.

“That’s what got me involved with the city itself, and then I realized I was ready to take it to the next level and get involved in a greater capacity. When I became aware of the opening, I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring,” he said. “It was a formal application, and then I had to sit down for an interview with the current city council.”

Following his panel interview, Carpenter was notified that he had been chosen to fill the seat vacated by Millet and was sworn in on May 17.

“I was very excited,” he said.

Carpenter’s motto is “smart growth,” and he grasps the lasting ramifications of the council’s decisions for the city as Lone Tree expands to the east.

“There is going to be some tremendous growth going on in the city in the years ahead, and I just want to make sure it’s responsible growth, smart growth, well thought out. In line with how the city has it laid out in its charter and to tie in nicely with what has already taken place,” he said.

Carpenter hopes to continue serving long after he has served out the remainder of Millet’s term.

“I’m not planning on just a twoyear stand-in,” Carpenter said. “I’m planning on making a difference for the foreseeable future.”

‘The world is yours’ Highlands Ranch High students take school spirit with them

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Student Senator Michael Pauley welcomed attendees at the commencement.

Highlands Ranch High School graduate Quinn Oberg achieved his dream of rapping on stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre when he gave his speech May 18 at the school’s graduation ceremony in the iconic location.

He encouraged his fellow graduates to go on and achieve their dreams.

Quoting the rapper Nas, Oberg told them, “the world is yours!’”

Highlands Ranch High School graduated more than 300 students in the class of 2016. Their class motto read, “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

The class song, “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson, talks about spreading wings and learning to fly — what the 2016 Falcons will do as they embark on their next journey in life.

As student senator Kayla Kolber said: “The spirit of Highlands Ranch High School that runs through us will always be with us.”

Foster parents fill urgent need

Collaborative program matches homes with kids

HOW YOU CAN HELP

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

• Help out at the foster parent’s home during busy times, such as after school.

Kelly Mayr has five birth children, three adopted children and one foster child.

So the month of May, which is National Foster Care month, resonates with her.

She’s been a foster parent for about five years and, in that time, some 15 children have passed through her home.

“Once you know there’s a need, it’s hard not to foster,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “And there is a need all over.”

Mayr fosters through the Collaborative Foster Care Program, a joint effort to help children in the departments of human services of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

On average, 1,100 children in the three counties are in out-of-home care on any given day, according to the program. Forty percent are teenagers. All have experienced trauma and almost all have special needs, including emotional, behavioral, medical or developmental.

The Collaborative Foster Care Program started with Arapahoe and Jefferson counties in 2008 to maximize staff and reach a broader range of potential foster families, said Ruby Richards, the Douglas County child welfare administrator.

“By joining the collaborative, we had a team of people that did the recruiting, training and monthly contact with all of our foster homes,” she said. Today, “we have a staff of about 15 to 20 that manage everything.”

A ‘vulnerable time’ in children’s lives In 2012, Douglas County joined children have the program been placed out of so that it could the home in some expand its type of foster care foster resetting sources. As of May, Douglas children are in County had county homes 112 children who had been children are with placed into private agencies that foster homes. manage or own a set The Parker of homes zip codes of children are in 80134 and congregate-care or 80138, along group settings with 80130 in Highlands children are Ranch and in residential care, 80104 in Castle typically kids who Rock, had the need inpatient highest numtreatment ber of children removed from children are living their homes, independently according to program stachild is living with tistics. a kinship provider Department of Human Source: Collaborative Services will Foster Care Program remove a child from his or her home because of neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or medical neglect.

“Everything that they are familiar with has been ripped away in this incredibly vulnerable time of their life,” said Kala Slater, recruiter for the Collaborative Foster Care Program.

A caseworker then conducts an assessment and, if necessary, the child is placed in a temporary out-of-care home. The birth family works through a treatment plan with the ultimate goal of reunification, Slater said.

“When foster families come to us, we want to get a better understanding of what they are willing to go through to reunify,” she said. “Eighty to 90 percent of the time, kids are reunified with their (birth) families.”

• Listen to the foster parent.

• Bring a home-cooked meal to the foster family.

• Become a respite babysitter with certification to watch foster children.

• Support foster families in the community.

before adopting her. In her case, reunification wasn’t possible, she said. Her daughter’s birth parents couldn’t provide a permanent home.

Mayr saw no other choice but to adopt.

“You do fall in love,” she said.

The foster family’s role Fostering isn’t for everyone. Foster parents must be able to “shut the bedroom door,” Mayr said, because the child will come with baggage — literal and emotional.

Through her experiences, Mayr has learned to be less judgmental.

“Meeting people whose lives are a lot harder is eye-opening,” she said. “It’s helped me learn to work with a lot of different personalities.”

The foster family certification process takes about four to five months. Applicants must attend an information night followed by pre-application work, preservice training, an application, first aid and CPR certification, a home study and final approval.

“It takes a long time for people to commit and find out if this is the right path that they want to take,” Slater said.

Because the foster family’s role is to provide a temporary home, there needs to be support of reunification and the willingness to work closely with the child’s birth family, Slater said. This often means planning visits more than once a week.

Other ways to help On average, a child is placed with a foster family for six months.

If a family isn’t ready to foster, there are other ways to help. Community members can support by listening, providing meals or helping out at the foster home during busy periods, such as after school.

“There are a million ways that people can support fostering without being a foster parent,” Richards said.

Mayr’s friends provided meals, extra clothes and helped paint a bedroom. It’s like having a newborn, Mayr said.

She also encourages those who want to help to become respite caregivers, or certified babysitters for foster children, which provides time off for foster parents to rest and recharge.

And developing relationships with other foster parents is crucial, Mayr said: It helps to have a village when navigating the foster care world.

Above all, fostering provides stability during a vulnerable time in a child’s life.

Mayr’s had her fair share of tears when a child comes and goes, but that is part of the process.

“Even if it hurts, you need to get attached,” Mayr said. “They need you to get attached.”

Rock Canyon grads get cheerful sendoff Commencement marks end of high school for 433 students

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media Sunny skies, a slight, warm breeze and a near-capacity crowd of friends and family filled Sports Authority Stadium in Parker on May 20 to mark the sendoff for the Rock Canyon High School Class of 2016.

Along with remembrances, advice and well wishes from valedictorian Ji Woo Park and National Honor Society member Emily Klein, there was still some time for humor.

Math teacher Tony Koy began his charge to the class to roars of laughter and cheers when he produced a 3-foot selfie stick for one final shot with the class of 2016.

The trio of Daniel Irwin, Ian Kretzmann and Stephen Morrison perform “La Rejouissance.” The piece was one of two musical performances by seniors during the graduation ceremony.

Of the 438 graduating seniors, 94 percent are enrolled in either junior college or university this fall, and the class amassed about $14.3 million in scholarship money. In addition, the class has been part of the effort to raise more than $275,000 during the past four years for Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization the school has partnered with for seven years.

The class chose as its motto a quote from Nobel Prize-winning author André Gide, who wrote, “You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

Before presenting the class for graduation, Principal Andy Abner also took a moment to recognize students who had volunteered to serve in the Armed Forces and encouraged graduates to unplug from technology and connect with the world around them.

SkyView Academy has second graduation Class took unusual path through high school years

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com SkyView Academy valedictorian Ben Butler pointed out the unique experience he and his classmates have had as the second class to graduate from the high school.

“I’d be willing to bet that we are the only high schoolers in Colorado who have gone to high school at a college, you know, the University of Phoenix down the road (where students took classes in the early years of SVA), and a Home Depot. I bet no one else has had that sort of high school experience.”

Butler used a cookie metaphor during his speech in the school gymnasium May 20 to describe his classmates, saying they share many ingredients in the form of

memories that helped shape who they are.

“I know exactly what kind of cookie each of you are,” Butler said to the 43 graduates.

History teacher Zack Brackney served as the keynote speaker. Brackney became emotional several times while addressing his students.

“Obviously this group of people has deeply, deeply touched me,” he said.

Brackney spoke about how, due to technology, this generation of students had new ways to quantify and qualify their lives that older generations could not and encouraged students to “know yourself.”

Founding Principal Jennifer Burgess said “it was clear from day one that this class was serious about their learning and friendships.”

“I have confidence that we have prepared you to think critically, advocate for yourselves and to seek knowledge,” Burgess said.

STEM graduates noted for wide interests Students are more than just future scientists, engineers

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com STEM School and Academy valedictorian George Pandya said enthusiasm has been to the key to the success of the Class of 2016.

“We joined the school back when it was an experiment and those of us in this room today had the enthusiasm and belief in the school to stay, even through the rough patches — even when the internet wouldn’t work,” Pandya said of the 53 graduates at the CU South Denver campus. “We did this because of our enthusiasm and passions for the future. It is this enthusiasm that will give the STEM class of 2016 an upper hand over all the other graduating classes.”

Principal Cody Blackburn reminded the graduates that they are more than the label people give them and not to limit themselves.

“Sure, all of you that attend this school are science, technology, engineering and math students, and many people from the outside attach labels to you because of that, but being a STEM kid doesn’t truly define your true identity,” Blackburn said. “When I look out at you, I see scientists, mathematicians and engineers of all types. But I also see musicians, and writers and philosophers and athletes.

Faith leaders, politicians and jugglers.

Entrepreneurs and filmmakers. Artists, lawyers and teachers.”

Executive Director Dr. Penny Eucker spoke about how a school music project, Band Together, brought the class and school closer.

“It’s a simple idea, we all help each other find our song and then record

it with the support and affection of others,” she said. “What I witnessed was a shift in our school. Seemingly overnight, students were more relaxed and supportive of each other. Being connected allows for more laughter and joy.”

Salutatorian Nathan Eng told his classmates to remember the good times.

“There are many ways to remember STEM. Whether you chose to remember your time here as one big blur or two emotional graduations, three epic proms, four long years or five different Spanish teachers, whatever you choose to remember, I hope you’ll agree STEM has been some truly epic memories.”

Right problem may be no problem Really, is there any such thing as a good problem? I mean if we have a problem it is a problem, right?

Of course there are real problems that need very real solutions. But there are also problems that could easily be turned into opportunities, and there are problems that are indeed very good problems. Even problems or challenges that become opportunities need to be managed correctly in order to convert the opportunity into an achievement or success story.

And then there are the good problems.

Those are the problems that also require a solid solution or proactive strategy or they too can quickly move from being a good problem to a very bad problem or crisis if not managed carefully and properly.

Let’s look at just a couple of examples of what those good problems might look like. One such example may be that you have been a victim of “downsizing” or “right sizing” at work and have found yourself unemployed. However, you have been given a very lucrative severance package and you have more new job offers than you know what to do with. With each new day, another job offer seems to come your way. The good problem is that you are making money from your severance and you have opportunities ahead of you. How this turns into a bad problem is when you get comfortable not working, or procrastinate on your decision-

making about which new job opportunity to take, and before you know it the money is gone and so are the offers.

Another good problem could be that you own a business and have more customers than you can possibly serve. Money is Michael Norton coming in, cash flow is good, customers and WINNING employees are happy, WORDS and you are enjoying your vacation time. If you watch the Food Network or happen to catch any of those restaurant shows where they have to do a makeover or fix the business, many of those owners had a very good problem at one time, they had more customers than they could serve. Before they knew it, quality suffered, service slowed down, chefs and servers walked off the job, and the ownership ended up in crisis mode. Enough of a crisis mode where they had to invite in a restaurant consultant and television show to help them re-establish their brand and credibility or risk losing everything they had worked so hard for.

You see, there really are good problems

in life. But the word “problem” is still there.

And as stated earlier, every problem, good or bad, needs a solution. My Uncle Harry used to always say, “Nothing is so bad it couldn’t be worse, and there is nothing so good that it couldn’t be better.” Just another way of saying, we have to manage all the situations, challenges and opportunities in our lives or they will become a problem.

So the next time you are explaining a situation to someone and they say, “Well that’s a good problem to have,” instead of taking pride in that good problem, it should put you on alert. And instead of sitting back and getting caught in the comfort zone, the first thing you should do is pay attention to the word “problem” and figure out a plan and strategy to keep that good problem train chugging along or have a clear path to get the train back on the tracks of consistency.

Problems are easy, solutions take work.

How about you, have you ever been in a “good problem” situation? What did you do about it or what are you doing about it?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we turn our good problems into even better opportunities, it really will be a better than good week.

Please do me a favor. Get a haircut.

Get two.

Our hairstyles in the 1960s were awful, but forgivable.

For the very first time, the focus was on young Americans and not on Craig Marshall Smith our parents.

QUIET We did OK, but DESPERATION there was a lot of hair.

Remember?

Clothing was awful too. Bellbottoms. Say no more, say no more.

The 1970s and the 1980s were just as bad.

But it was different. We should have known better by then, but most of us didn’t Women all looked like the Mandrell sisters or the Murphy Brown cast.

In music, there were “hair bands.”

Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Poison.

Kiss. And Gene Simmons still has that hair. It’s a shoe polish helmet.

Ann and Nancy Wilson were sisters, but they weren’t twisted.

But Heart was a hair band too.

I was crazy on Nancy (the blonde).

There are photographs of me that I have tried to repress.

It never got completely out of hand, but my look somewhat embarrasses me now.

There were people and performers who seemed to get it right.

Robert Palmer — remember “Addicted to Love”? — always looked dapper.

The rest of us had hair over our ears, and collars the size of paper airplanes.

Women wore shoulder pads. And other things.

Leg warmers.

Columnists & Guest Commentaries

A farewell to ‘my closest outdoors companion’ The first 10 days of May were difficult: Each day seemed more increasingly arduous for her. Then came that quiet morning when she passed. After a long life, aging and declining health took control, and I surrendered my closest outdoors companion.

Aspen was past her 15th birthday — a blessing of a long life in itself.

She still looked forward to our evening walks — however shorter or slower-paced.

She continued to follow me about the house — to stay close.

I felt the strength of her eyes with a wondering expression — questioning why she was weaker.

Expressions were almost apologetic — when her appetite was waning.

I knew she still wanted to make that ride in the Jeep — closeness for both of us. She would give me a clear look for help — to make that step from the porch into the house — and expressions of appreciation when her legs needed support.

During these days, however, there were no apologies, only, seemingly, an acceptance of her aging and declining strength.

The weakness, diminished level of activity, physical changes and longer time in sleep gradually accelerated over the past

three years. I saw it and felt it creeping into Aspen’s life and into mine. The change was difficult to witness, but I resolved to alter our time together, to keep her active, support her health and adjust our routines.

Pet owners can Ron Hellbusch struggle with that OUTDOOR change, sometimes to the extent of failing LIVING to see the need for accommodation pets require. It occurred to me the gradual aging process for our pets can be so similar to that of aging parents, family or friends — or literally our own lives. Yet regardless, each deserves the same sensitivity, attention, time, patience and support.

Yellow labs are sizable and sturdy, but when they cannot get themselves into our vehicles, they deserve a ramp or a lift so that they never are ignored or left behind.

Walks should become a slower and more Hellbusch continues on Page 11

Fagen Continued from Page 1

But many teachers and parents have blamed Fagen and the school board majority for policies that caused widespread low morale and led to an exodus of teachers and administrators over the past several years.

Controversial initiatives included a new teacher-evaluation system and market-based pay salary structure.

The district is in the midst of legal challenges surrounding its attempt to create a voucher system. During her tenure, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union. And the hashtag #firefagen has been used widely on social media for more than a year.

“In 2009, the Douglas County Board of Education undertook the re-invention of American education and subsequently hired Superintendent Fagen to further their goal,” said board member Wendy Vogel who, along with David Ray and Anne-Marie Lemieux, was elected in November on a platform critical of district and board policies.

“I think that her resignation is a clear indication that their reform agenda is not working.”

Ray said he had mixed emotions about Fagen’s departure.

“I believe she was placed in an extremely difficult position of carrying out the edicts of the previous board.

Unfortunately, her past six years have been marred by turmoil due to the illadvised nature of the board’s actions,” Ray said. “Fortunately, the superintendent’s resignation will continue the process of restoring trust in our district. My hope is that senior board members will follow the superintendent’s example of doing whatever is necessary to continue building trust — even when it means sacrificing the self for the sake of our learners.”

Douglas County Parents, an organization formed in 2013 over concerns about the district’s policies, called Fagen’s move a step toward mending rifts between the community and district.

“The results of the school board election last November were quite clear, showing the community does not support ‘reform,’ “ Jason Virdin, spokesman for the organization, said in a statement. “We are anxious to start the healing process in Douglas County and hope the board majority will back up their recent assertions with action — gathering and considering significant, substantial community and staff input while searching for a new superintendent.”

Fagen’s strategic plan, as described on the school district website, highlights safety, school choice, worldclass education, 21st century skills and system performance as its priorities.

In a news release, the district credits Fagen for improving student and staff safety in schools, building a strong network with home schools and charter schools and “empowering teachers to create inspiring…curriculum units.”

Before coming to Douglas County, Fagen was superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona.

Fagen, whose salary is $273,715, is moving to a district a little more than half the size of Douglas County, which has more than 67,000 students and about 80 schools. It is Colorado’s third largest district.

Chosen from among 43 applicants in a nationwide search, Fagen will replace outgoing Superintendent Guy Sconzo, who is retiring after 15 years with the Humble district. According to its website, the district has 43 campuses, 5,000 employees and is among the 25 fastest-growing school districts in Texas. It is the 31st largest district in the state.

“We are excited about getting the best education mind in the country,” said Humble school board president Robert Sitton about Fagen. “It’s powerful what she is going to be able to do.

When people talk about education, we want them to say, ‘You really need to go see what Humble ISD is doing.’ She is, in our opinion, the leader to take us there. She is innovative, visionary and not afraid to take risks if it enhances education.”

I think I know what happens.

We find a hairstyle that we like, and we stick with it.

I look now like I did when I was in Little League.

I have a crew cut.

A “crew cut” gets its name from the short hair that crew members had. Less wind resistance.

Maintaining it is a snap.

I dare you to people watch, and keep track of the men and women — mostly the women — who could use a haircut.

I still see hair that amounts to amber waves of fluffed-out locks.

Ginger Rogers, bless her.

She was a beauty in the 1940s.

She held on to her look through the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s.

She died in 1995 at the age of 83. She was still a platinum blonde with a surfeit of makeup.

Generally, we can fool our hair into thinking we’re still in our 20s, 30s and 40s, but we can’t fool our skin.

Some try. You do recall Joan Rivers?

I’m to blame. Men are to blame. We don’t let women age gracefully.

patient experience to provide a quality of life they deserve. Close attention and observation of food types and changes in body functions can require accommodation.

Of course, some women want to look like Charo.

Charo is 75. There is not one thing on her that looks 75.

I am not the one to ask.

I am opposed to beauty pageants and fashion shows and ogling red carpet getups.

Las Vegas showgirls are about as far away as it gets from my definition of beauty.

Eye makeup by trowel only worked for Cleopatra and Amy Winehouse.

If a woman and I are headed out to dinner, and it takes her 90 minutes to get ready, it will be our last supper.

Let me summarize.

Get a haircut.

Your next one might be on me.

Send me an email. In 100 words or less, tell me why you badly need an updated hairstyle.

I will see that the winner is taken care of at an area establishment.

Unless I lose my grip (see: Howard Hughes), I will never have long hair again.

There are always exceptions.

Try to imagine Einstein with a crew cut.

ditional love they bring into our lives is extended back in their care and comfort.

A friend of mine who had a long line of Golden retrievers in his life observed that “when we bring a pet into our lives we need to be aware we will most certainly live past their days and we must be willing to provide compassionate support as their lives fade.”

Those sunrises over the duck blind, the decoy days on the river, flushing birds from the fields and the high mountain hikes will be very different. But the memories will remind me of my good fortune in having had that special companionship with Aspen.

Dishes to share, friendships to make It started with a lid

Spanish-style tapas not only a culinary experience

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

K

ayla Nilges and three friends visited Acres Restaurant in Englewood recently because they wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day while sharing a sampling of tapas — small plates of food meant to be shared.

“I think tapas-style dining is a great idea,” Nilges said. “You get to taste a lot of different dishes and then go back for more of the one you like. It is a very social time as we talk about the different dishes and, of course, about a lot of other things.”

Nilges isn’t the only one enjoying the increasingly popular trend of eating tapas.

Acres is just one of numerous restaurants in the South Metro area that offer them. Some, like the Centennial restaurant Tapas D’ Jerez, make their food genre clear by its name. Others, such as Acres and Fireside Bar & Grill in the Denver Tech Center, let their customers spread the word once they’ve visited.

The popularity of the dining style is in the congenial ambience it creates, its fans say.

“Tapas, for us, is a way for our customers to experience many different flavors that stimulate the palate,” said John Benson, who opened Acres a year ago.

“Stimulating the palate also stimulates conversation, so it is a social event. There are several dishes on the table. The diners are sharing the food from each dish. As they experience the tastes, they talk about the food they are eating as well as what is going on in their lives.”

According to historians, tapas date back centuries to when innkeepers offered small sample plates to travelers because most couldn’t read menus. Popular in Spain for hundreds of years, tapas eventually migrated to other countries in Europe and to the United States.

A New York Times article in 1997 talked of the steady increase in the number of

A staff member explains the menu, including the tapas items, to customers new to Acres Restaurant in Englewoood. A tapas selection is a small plate of food. The idea is for diners to order several tapas dishes and share the items. establishments offering tapas. It even proposed the idea that tapas eating was becoming a substitute for the traditional restaurant dining experience.

In December 2014, a story on Gourmetmarketing.net explored how the tapas trend was revolutionizing restaurant practices. According to the article, the trend grew as the public’s focus on healthier eating resulted in restaurants reducing calories and portions of menu items.

Locally, tapas menus appeared in restaurants like the 9th Door Tapas Bar and Restaurant that opened in downtown Denver several years ago.

Charlie Winters joined five friends at the 9th Door downtown location on Blake Street earlier this month.

“We come here often,” the Denver resident said. “The food is great and there is a great atmosphere. We have menu favorites, but we usually order one or two items new to us. It is just a great way to spend a few hours with friends.”

Tapas’ rich Spanish origins are evident at Tapas D’ Jerez, 8236 S. Holly St. in Centennial. The walls are decorated with art depicting Spanish customs and the menu is in Spanish with English explanations.

The restaurant and wine bar features a happy hour special of two-for-one tapas.

Highlands Ranch resident Sandi Thompson works in the area and frequently meets friends at the Tapas D’ Jerez because they like the food and dining style.

But not all tapas restaurants feature strictly Spanish cuisine.

For example, Acres features a wide variety of creations, ranging from buttermilk biscuits and Colorado honey butter and the chef’s own version of tater tots, which are potato nuggets with bacon, cheddar and garlic and chive aioli.

The menu also includes featured entrees. Every dish is made fresh, from scratch, he said. Items go on and off the menu depending on whether he can get fresh ingredients for the dish.

At Acres, Benson is a hands-on owner: He greets customers as they arrive, mixes beverages and serves meals to the tables.

“I like to ask people when they come in if they are here to party and have a good time,” he said with a smile. “The idea is to share the food on the plates, have a beverage or two and enjoy socializing with those at the table. I do all I can to promote that atmosphere.”

Tapas, defined as small plates of food to be shared and enjoyed with wine, has a long and rich history.

They originated in Spain, but various research sites disagree on exactly when. One says the 10th century.

Another says the serving of tapas began in the Middle Ages in inns along heavily traveled roads in Europe. At that time, many —if not most — travelers could not read. So innkeepers began providing small samples of the food items available.

The samples were usually set on the cover of the lid of the pot containing the menu item. The Spanish word for cover is “tapa” and that word eventually evolved to “tapas.”

The waiting is the sweetest part Does anticipation make the reward better, or is it all about getting the reward as quickly as possible?

It’s a question worth considering with the absolute avalance of surprise album releases in Clarke Reader the past month.

Consider this — LINER since April we’ve NOTES heard new albums from Beyoncé, Radiohead, Drake, James Blake and Chance The Rapper, all released with about a week’s notice. Some, like Blake, dropped hours after being announced.

The idea of surprise-releasing an album is a relatively new marketing strategy, and almost entirely a result of the digital market’s dominance of the music industry.

Beyoncé gets the much-deserved credit for pioneering the approach with her selftitled release in 2013, which arrived completely out of the blue in mid-December.

In the 2 1/2 years since, artists from Eric Church to My Bloody Valentine have embraced surprise releases as a way to avoid leaks that could hurt sales or streams. It’s also a way for artists to release their work

on their terms, when they’re ready for audiences to hear the music.

As a listener and music collector, I’m not entirely sold on the idea.

An artist who approached the wait for an album release with panache and artistry was Kanye West, in the lead up to his 2010 album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” Every Friday he released a new song from the album’s recording sessions, and it was a fantastic way to stoke excitement.

I remember rushing home from work every Friday to download the new song, and engage with other fans online about whether the track would make the album and, if not, why. This led to heated discussions and debate, and by the end I positively couldn’t wait for the release.

I also worked at a record store for more than five years, and I remember the excitement when a favorite artist announced a new album. The announcement typically came at least two months before the release (sometimes longer) and allowed plenty of time to savor it. Usually, the announcement was accompanied by a single to give listeners a taste of what was to come, along with the album art.

This allowed fans to pour over the images and decipher what the art hinted about the album’s sound and theme.

Some of this still happens with surprise releases, but it’s difficult to scrutinize the album art while you’re simultaneously

digesting the music for the first time.

There is some nice democratization that comes with the surprise-release approach, and I understand why it appeals to artists. Instead of having a record label decide their single, they let listeners hear the whole album and select a single based on response.

Releasing music this way also provides some room to breathe for artists, since it removes the looming specter of a deadline and allows them the freedom to breathe and create on their own schedule.

Looking at the aforementioned albums, as well as surprise releases this year from Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Rihanna, there certainly seems to be something to the approach: almost all these artists delivered some of the best and most interesting albums of their careers.

Appreciation of the music-release strategy is one of those things that prob-

When we’re young, we all want Christmas and birthdays to happen as quickly as possible to get our presents. Yet, as I’ve aged I have far more appreciation for the lead-up to these events. The joy lessens from just tearing into the gifts. Instead, I take delight in the countdown, the slow unwrapping and appreciation.

I will never complain about new, great music, regardless of the delivery. I just miss the anticipation. It is, after all, half the fun.

ABOUT THIS SECTION Colorado is known across the world as a winter-weather destination. Snow and skiing are what bring scores of visitors to the Centennial State each year.

But as anyone who has spent a few seasons here knows, the summer is pretty special, too.

And we’re almost there.

So now what?

Plan a getaway, if just for a day.

No need to leave the state.

Plenty of fun, festive and funky adventures await within Colorado’s borders.

Experience the old West at towns you hadn’t heard of.

Celebrate and sample corn and chicken at separate events.

Hop in a hot air balloon. Watch a cowboy get tossed from a giant bull.

In this section, we’ll tell you a little about those sites and events, as well as many more.

They may take you off the beaten path, but you can still make it home in time for dinner or spend a night and head home the next morning.

We’ve left out more than we’ve included, of course. We don’t have enough pages and you don’t have enough time for it all. But summer will be back next year.

— Chris Rotar

Places to go Leadville WHERE IS IT? Take I-70 west to Copper Mountain, and head south on State Road 91 — about 2 hours and 100 miles west of Denver.

NEED TO KNOW: The Wild West is still alive in Leadville, where legends like Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp once roamed the streets.

Experience the romance and tragedy of Baby Doe Tabor’s life at the Matchless Mine ($10), stop for a drink at the Silver Dollar Saloon, and don’t miss the unforgettable National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum ($12). Lodging and camping abound.

FUN FACT: Oscar Wilde patronized the Silver Dollar Saloon in 1882, and reported, “Over the piano was printed a notice: PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT THE PIANIST. HE IS DOING HIS BEST.” MORE INFORMATION: leadville.com

Never Summer Nordic Yurts WHERE IS IT? Never Summer Nordic’s collection of yurts are scattered throughout State Forest State

Leadville is a destination of choice for those who want to experience a slice of the old West. Photo

by Kevin Swinicki / Shutterstock.com Park, just over Cameron Pass at the west end of Poudre Canyon on State Road 14, about 2 hours west of Fort Collins, overall about 3 hours and 150 miles from Denver.

NEED TO KNOW: Never Summer operates 10 yurts and cabins nestled

among the alpine splendor of north-central Colorado, where moose stroll through wildflower-dappled meadows beneath snowcapped peaks.

The yurts are primitive, with no electricity or running water, but equipped with bunk beds, propane stoves and lanterns, and fully stocked

woodsheds. Prices start at $85 a night.

FUN FACT: Many of the peaks in the adjacent Never Summer Mountains are named after cloud types, such as Mount Cumulus and Mount Cirrus.

Places to go Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad WHERE IS IT? The Colorado end of the trip, which descends to the town of Chama, New Mexico, begins in the little town of Antonito, southwest of Alamosa in the San Luis Valley, about 4 hours and 250 miles southwest of Denver on U.S. Highway 285.

NEED TO KNOW: A cousin to the better-known Durango & Silverton train, the steampowered, narrow gauge railroad winds 64 miles through conifer and aspen forests, mountain meadows, and along rocky ledges and cliffs. The train traverses 10,015-foot Cumbres Pass. Lunch is provided at the halfway point in Osier. A variety of schedules are available, and tickets range from $95 to $185.

FUN FACT: The Cumbres & Toltec was used in the opening sequence of the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”

hours and 180 miles southeast of Denver NEED TO KNOW: Bent’s Old Fort was a colossal trading post on the Santa Fe Trail, and hosted legions of important figures in Old West history. The meticulously rebuilt fort along the bucolic Arkansas River features a working blacksmith shop, living history demonstrations, and a bevy of enthusiastic re-enactors.

Kids will love the cannons and

strolling the parapets.

FUN FACT: Weary travelers traversing the perilous plains in the early 1800s marveled at the fort’s opulence, including a rec room that featured a massive billiards table.

MORE INFORMATION: www. nps.gov/beol

Bishop’s Castle WHERE IS IT? 12705 State

Highway 165, Rye, 3 hours and 160 miles south of Denver, southwest of Pueblo NEED TO KNOW: Jim Bishop has been working on his hand-built stone castle since 1969, now topped with numerous towers of staggering height. Always open and always free, visitors can climb the lofty, handrailfree pinnacles at their own risk — this isn’t Disneyland.

Somewhere between whimsical and grotesque, the castle is crowned with a hand-made fire-breathing dragon’s head.

Bishop himself is often on hand, but parents beware, he’s pretty rough around the edges.

FUN FACT: Bishop claims the castle won’t be finished until the day he doesn’t wake up again.

Places to go Visitors are welcome in Georgetown, which was a significant player in Colorado’s gold rush of 1859. Photo

by Arina P. Habich / Shutterstock. com

Georgetown So Close to Home.

So Far from Your Expectations.

With backdrops of towering peaks, crystalclear lakes, and the unspoiled beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand County is quintessential Colorado. But then again, there’s no need for understatements.

WHERE IS IT? 45 minutes west of Denver on I-70 NEED TO KNOW: Though often overlooked by I-70 weekend warriors making their way to the more ritzy towns farther west, the plucky little mining town of Georgetown offers a quick and easy getaway. Surprises abound in the quirky shops on Sixth Street, including the charming Georgetown Rock Shop. Stop at the Happy Cooker for the best bagels and lox you’ll find this side of New York.

Traverse stunning Guanella Pass for an epic drive home.

FUN FACT: Georgetown was among the first and most significant towns of Colorado’s earliest gold rush in 1859.

WHERE IS IT? The Trail of the Ancients Scenic Byway encompasses a massive area in the Four Corners area, but Colhorado’s most interesting stretch begins in Cortez, stretching northwest along U.S. Highway 491, and turning west on Montezuma County Road CC and southwest on County Road 10 at Lowry Pueblo.

NEED TO KNOW: While the magnificent cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park are well-known, the lonely scrublands to the northwest yield mysterious ruins of their own.

Start your journey at the lovely Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores ($3 for adults, kids free). Continue northwest to the crumbling castle of Lowry Pueblo.

Turn southwest toward Hovenweep

and Canyons of the Ancients national monuments, where ruins and petroglyphs abound. Intrepid hikers will be rewarded. Don’t forget the snakebite kit.

FUN FACT: More people lived in the Four Corners region a thousand years ago than do today.

MORE INFORMATION: trailoftheancients.com

Picketwire Canyonlands WHERE IS IT? Drive south of La Junta on State Road 109 for 13 miles, then west on Otero County Road 802 for 8 miles. Turn left on County Road 25 and go south 6 miles to the Picketwire Corrals. High-clearance vehicles can continue 3 miles east to a trailhead descending into the canyon (though a surprising number of small cars make the final leg).

NEED TO KNOW: The Picketwire Canyonlands are a shocking affront to the image of Colorado’s east as flat and boring. A several-mile hike along the canyon floor takes visitors past sublime geology, ruins, petroglyphs and the longest dinosaur tracksite in North America. Spectacular (and free) campsites line the mesa top, though camping is off-limits on the canyon bottom.

FUN FACT: The name Picketwire is an Anglicization of the river’s original name, “Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio,” or the “River of the Lost Souls in Purgatory,” so named for a legendary Spanish expedition rumored to have been massacred here.

Places to go

The ghost town of St. Elmo will conjure images of days gone by for those who visit. Photo by Ian Barnes / Shutterstock photo

St. Elmo WHERE IS IT? Southwest of Buena Vista on Chaffee County Road 162, 3 hours and 140 miles southwest of Denver off U.S. Highway 24 NEED TO KNOW: Among Colorado’s most picturesque ghost towns, St. Elmo’s diminutive main street is home to a variety of quaint old structures, notably the still-bustling St. Elmo General Store, replete with funkyTree antiques.

Rustic cabins are for Lone Voice

rent (starting at $79). A log bench across the dirt street swarms with playful chipmunks eager to eat food out of visitors’ palms. Tourists with beefy vehicles can head in all directions into unparalleled high-country adventure.

FUN FACT: Originally called Forest City, the Post Office demanded the town change its name because too many others already bore the same name, so one of St. Elmo’s founders renamed the town after a novel he was reading.

MORE INFORMATION: st-elmo.com

Manitou Penny Arcade WHERE IS IT? 900 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, 1½ hours and 75 miles south of Denver off U.S. Highway 24 NEED TO KNOW: The Penny Arcade’s collection of classic arcade games may inspire a rush of nostalgia from the baby boomer and Gen-X sets, with a variety of classics like Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, but

the arcade’s real gems are the predigital games — a litany of pinball machines, but also sharpshooters, mechanical horse racing and rare full-length Skee-Ball lanes.

FUN FACT: The arcade’s irreplaceable vintage machines survived a flood that swept through the town in August 2013.

Places to go Rifle Falls

Rifle Falls is a spot to try for those looking for a taste of the tropics in the Western Slope.

Photo by Paul Gana / Shutterstock.com

WHERE IS IT? Northwest of the town of New Castle, 3½ hours and 180 miles west of Denver off I-70 NEED TO KNOW: Rifle Falls, a glorious triple waterfall cascading down limestone cliffs, feels like a lush tropical oasis amid the high desert of the Western Slope. The cliffs are riddled with caves, including a famous 90-foot-deep alcove behind the falls. Daily passes are $7, and campsites start at $20. Try to visit on a weekday to beat the crowds.

FUN FACT: Rifle Creek, which lends its name to the falls and the nearby town of Rifle, is rumored to be named for a gun left behind by a fur trapper since lost to history.

Veterans Continued from Page 1

Korean government as a way to thank the American servicemen and women who served in the Korean War in the 1950s.

“These men went through a lot,” said Jim McGibney, the honorary consul of the Republic of Korea, who awarded the medal on behalf of Korea. “It was a tough war. It was probably one of our toughest and they came through it, they prevailed.”

Along with the medals, the men received an official proclamation from the South Korean government thanking them for their service.

Redmond served as a weapons system specialist in the Air Force for the first jets based in Thailand. The planes he armed flew over Korea during the liberation of South Korea.

Franicevic entered the draft in 1952 and was stationed in Louisville, Kentucky prior to deployment. He served in the U.S. Military Police during the Korean War. “I haven’t felt this way before,” Franicevic said, wiping tears from his eyes. “We just did our job.”

George Joseph Franicevic, a Korean War Veteran who lives in Castle Rock, received the Ambassador for Peace Medal May 17.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Zikr Dance Company will appear at Lakewood Cultural Center June 4 and 5 and at Lone Tree Arts Center June 11 and 12 in a program called “Samsara,” which will premiere a new work by artistic director David Taylor and reprise some of the company’s earlier pieces.

The company’s roster includes five dancers from Colorado Ballet and eight other classically trained local dancers.

The first half of the program will premiere a new duet, “Altar,” featuring Kurtis Irwin and Ryan Lee, accompanied by an original score by Boulder musician composer Jesse Manno (who wrote music for Taylor’s popular “Rainforest” score in 1995.)

Also in the first half is “Sadhu.” Taylor explained that “Sadhu” is a religious ascetic, usually Hindu or Buddhist, and the ballet is set to exciting music by Philip Glass. “In Your Eyes,” an audience favorite, will also be performed.

Taylor said “Samsara” is a Sanskrit word that means the cycle of birth, death and reincarnation, a prevalent

The new ballet, which fills the second half of the production, focuses on this idea, set to the progressive art/rock music of Yes. It includes dancers ascending and descending onstage on fly lines and is also accompanied by special effects created

by University of Colorado-Denver professor Bryan Leister. These will include “projection mapping” effects, generated by a computer and the Isadora program, whereby overhead graphic projections follow a dancer’s movements onstage.

Two other works fill out the program: sacred movement dances “Walking Prayer” and “Whirling Dervish,” which are Gurdjieff sacred movements.

SCFD renewal will be on November ballot Sales tax helps fund 275 cultural organizations

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On April 29, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed legislation needed to put renewal of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) on the November 2016 ballot, with bipartisan support in both the Colorado Senate and House of Representatives.

Legislative sponsors included Senate

President Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) and Sen. Pat Steadman (D-Denver), House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst (D-Boulder) and Assistant House Minority Leader Rep. Polly Lawrence (R-Douglas County).

The SCFD Board of Directors, chaired

by Arapahoe County’s representative Dan Hopkins, will now refer the renewal measure to the ballot in each of the seven metro-area counties involved: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, where voters opted out) and Jefferson.

Denver metro-area voters created the SCFD in 1988 and have renewed it in 1994

WIN BIG!

and 2004. An affirmative vote in 2016 would renew it for 12 years and shift percentages of distribution between the three tiers of cultural organizations, which total 275. Funds distributed come from a tax of one cent on a $10 sale — a total of $52 million in 2014.

Overall, the available amount is expected to increase as population grows.

Percentages would be reallocated among the organizations, increasing distribution to Tiers Two and Three and decreasing the percentage for Tier One, the largest Denver organizations. The number of SCFD organizations has doubled since 1988.

According to the SCFD, this collection

of cultural organizations contributed more than $1.8 billion into the regional economy and employed more than 10,000 people.

More than 14 million people — 4 million of them kids — attend SCFD-funded programs each year.

A few examples in Arapahoe and Douglas counties: Arapahoe Philharmonic, Lone Tree and Parker symphony orchestras, Lone Tree Arts Center, PACE Center, Town Hall Arts Center, Highlands Ranch Concert Band, Young Voices of Colorado, Performance Now Theatre Company.

Valor captures lacrosse title Eagles claim Class 4A crown with victory over Dawson

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian didn’t appear to have a very good lacrosse team early in the season, but this was a case of a first impression being wrong.

The Eagles started off with an 0-3 record and were 3-4 after a 14-11 loss to Dawson on April 19.

But Valor recovered and won its 12th straight game in the Class 4A state championship with a 10-9 victory over Dawson School May 20 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver.

“We were really down at the beginning...,” Valor coach John Grant Jr. said.

“I was questioning my coaching. We had to find ourselves, we had to dig down.

We did everything we needed to do. I’m proud of them.”

Valor went on a team retreat and Grant removed any evidence of last season’s state runner-up finish and the high expectations for this year.

It worked as the Eagles beat topseeded Dawson in a game that was tied eight times until freshman Lance Tillman and goalie Logan Lee, who just returned to action after having his appendix removed, stepped up in the final minutes.

With the game tied 9-9, Tillman stuck his stick in the air in front of Dawson goalie Chad Dunnell, who was attempting to make an outlet pass. Tillman intercepted the pass with 2:12 left in the game and scored to give Valor a 10-9 lead.

“I didn’t see it,” said Grant Jr. “I was so upset with the turnover, I threw my hat on the ground in frustration and when I went to pick it up they were all hugging me and saying we scored. I’m sure he picked the pass off and put it in the empty net.”

Tillman conceded he was lucky.

“I just stuck my stick up there, trying to get in the goalie’s way,” he said. “I got lucky and put it back in the net. You

The Valor Christian boys lacrosse team celebrates their 10-9 Class 4A state final victory over Alexander Dawson School of Lafayette. The Mustangs and Eagles battled back and forth all night, but in the end it was Valor Christian that came through with the victory. Photo by Paul DiSalvo don’t usually do that. I just decided to do it. There’s nothing more to say. We played great. It was an exciting game.”

But securing the win still required a couple key saves in the final two minutes by Lee, who finished with eight saves.

“He was huge,” Grant said of Lee. “He was in the hospital getting surgery two weeks ago. He got cleared on Tuesday.

They took his appendix but didn’t take his heart. I give a lot of credit to our goalie. He kept the state’s highest scoring offense at bay.”

Lee, a sophomore, was feeling well on May 20 and helped the Eagles beat a Dawson team that averaged 17 goals a game.

“That was crazy at the end of the game,” Lee said. “I had a feeling. It was just reactions, don’t even think about it.

I didn’t play the last game Wednesday (May 18) until the fourth quarter. Then I started to get it back. This whole game for me getting it back but by the end I knew I was ready. I was feeling good, a lot better.”

Tillman had three goals against

Dawson in the title game. Senior Cole Baker scored twice, including the goal that tied the game with 5:39 remaining in the game.

Valor wound up the season with six players scoring more than 20 goals and six having more than 30 points. Tillman led the way with 29 goals and 69 points, which included 40 assists. Junior Gianni Orlando had 28 goals and 46 points.

Valor finished the season with a 15-4 record and has gone 33-5-0 in the past two seasons under Grant. Dawson wound up with a 17-2 record.

Athletes make their marks at state meet Event draws 43 teams from Class 5A schools

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Area schools earned points against tough competition at the May 19-21 Colorado Track and Field Championships held at Jefferson County Stadium.

Mountain Vista placed the highest in boys team standing among the area schools, scoring 28 points to finish 10th among the 43 teams in Class 5A. The highest individual finish for the Golden Eagles was Paxton Smith’s third place in the 3,200-meter run.

ThunderRidge finished 18th in team standings, with the best individual finish being turned in by James Duckworth, who was fourth in the shot put.

Highlands Ranch finished 21st and had the only area individual champion as David Cunningham took top honors in the long jump.

Castle View finished 28th, Rock Canyon was 29th and Douglas County finished in 38th place in the team standings.

Colton Homuth earned team points for Castle View with a ninth-place finish in shot put.

“I have the build for the weight

Rock Canyon’s Emily Sloan accepts the gold medal after winning the 300-meter hurdles at the May 19-21 Colorado Track and Field Championships. Sloan also took first place in the 100-meter hurdles and helped the Golden Eagles finish 12th in points among the teams at the championships. Photo by Tom Munds events and I thought I would be good at it so I started to compete in shot and discus. I also like it because I don’t have to run a lot,” Homuth said after receiving his medal. “It has been a good year

for me. My shot put personal distance has gone up by 12 feet since last year.”

He said he enjoyed throwing the discus more than throwing the shot put.

“I am better at shot put but I enjoy

discus more because of the techniques you have to do correctly to get a good distance,” he said.

In the girls Class 5A division, Rock Canyon finished 12th with 25 points.

Emily Sloan helped her team’s point total with first place finishes in the 100-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles.

The ThunderRidge squad finished 19th with 17 points. Three of the Grizzlies relay teams earned medals and the best finish was the 4x800-meter relay team.

Castle View finished 22nd with 14 points. Sierra Suazo posted the team’s highest finish with a fourth place in the discus.

Leila Vigil finished second in shot put and the points she earned helped the Highlands Ranch team finish 25th.

Douglas County finished 34th and Mountain Vista was 37th.

The Valor girls joined forces to win the 4x100 and the 4x200 relays to add points to the team total as the Eagles finished fourth in the Class 4A team standings with 54 points.

The Eagles boys team finished eighth Class 4A teams.

Christian Barber had the best individual finish for the team as he was second in the 200-meter dash and fourth in the 100-meter dash.

New baseball rule not pitch perfect Area swimmers capture crowns Athletes from Ponderosa, Highlands Ranch, Arapahoe and Valor take home titles Staff report Four swimmers from schools in the south metro area were crowned individual champions May 21 at the state swimming championships.

Senior Gabriele Sasia, a STEM school student who swims for the Highlands Ranch team, captured his second consecutive 100-yard butterfly title with a time of 49.32 seconds in the Class 5A finals at the Air Force Academy, Sasia was also second in the 100 backstroke and swam on two relay teams.

Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 45.07. He was second in the 200-yard freestyle and swam on two relay teams that finished in the top five.

Max Grogan, a senior from Legend who competes on the Ponderosa team, was crowned the champion in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21.04.

At the Class 4A state meet held at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton, Valor Christian freshman Casey Fellows won the diving title with 530.30 points. The Eagles came in second in the team standings.

Cherry Creek placed third on the 5A team scoreboard, with Highlands Ranch sixth, Arapahoe seventh, Heritage eighth and Ponderosa 10th.

It was a needed move when a pitchcount limit was implemented this season for Colorado High School Activities Association baseball games to limit damage to young arms.

However, CHSAA needs to find a way not to be caught Jim Benton looking by keeping OVERTIME coaches in both dugouts informed of “official” pitch counts, especially in state playoff games when pitching staffs could be overworked with teams playing three games in two days.

An unfortunate situation could have unfolded in the Cherokee Trail-Cherry Creek playoff game May 21 at All-City Stadium in Denver.

Cherokee Trail pitcher Keven MacKintosh approached the pitch limit in the sixth inning. As he prepared to face his final batter, a person in charge of keeping the tally in the press box already had him having thrown the maximum 110 pitches.

An individual was sent to inform the Cherokee Trail coaches, but they had their player with only 109 pitches. MacKintosh pitched to the final batter of the inning, got the out and his team went on to win, 10-8.

During a post-game discussion, it was revealed the Cherry Creek pitch count had MacKintosh already over the limit before facing his final batter. During the game, Creek did not make an issue of it, and an on-scene CHSAA official wasn’t going to argue over one pitch.

A violation discovered during the game could have resulted in a forfeit, but with the game in the books, the score will stand.

When there are three different pitch counts, something needs to be done to enforce the rule. The person keeping count in the press box May 21 had the official tally, according to a CHSAA official.

Douglas County High School has a portable scoreboard that can be mounted

MSU DENVER SOUTH CAMPUS Denver Tech Center

above the dugout to keep both teams and fans informed of pitch counts. That’s an easy way to maybe solve disputes before the sixth or seventh inning. Or maybe a “visible” official appointed by CHSAA should inform both teams of pitch counts inning-by-inning, especially when a pitcher is nearing the limit.

Both Cherokee Trail and Cherry Creek remain alive in the double-elimination tournament, which resumes play May 27.

Bert Borgmann, CHSAA assistant commissioner, said the rules will be reviewed before then, with the aim of having a better solution before a champion is crowned.

An Olympic preview Colorado soccer fans have a chance to see the U.S. Women’s National team before the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.

The 25-player roster for the sold-out June 2 friendly match against Japan at Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Commerce City includes Mallory Pugh of Highlands Ranch, Linsey Horan of Golden and Denver’s Jaelene Hinkle.

Coach Jill Ellis must trim the roster to 18 players for the Olympics.

Pugh, the 18-year-old who just graduated from Mountain Vista, became the youngest player at age 17 to make the national team roster in 11 years last January. She scored in a Jan. 23 match against Ireland, making her the 19th U.S. female player to score in her debut. She played for Real Colorado and is the captain of the team that will compete at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea in November.

Horan, 22, went to Golden High School but didn’t play soccer. She played club soccer for the Colorado Rush and became the first female soccer player in U.S. history to sign a professional contact after her high school graduation with Paris SaintGermain. She was one of the top U.S. youth national team players and returned to the U.S. Women’s national team in 2015 after making her debut in 2013. Horan had micro fracture knee surgery in 2014 but appears to have regained her form.

Hinkle, 22, played soccer and basketball at Valor Christian and is a defender

for the Western New York Flash. She played club soccer for Real Colorado and last October was called up to the national team for a friendly match against Brazil during the team’s victory tour after winning the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She has international experience on U.S. youth national teams.

Gatorade honors Sabercat Castle View senior Julie Mackin is the 2015-16 Colorado Gatorade Soccer Player of the Year.

Mackin, a 5-foot-4 forward and midfielder, scored 14 goals and had five assists for a Castle View team that finished 10-7-0 for the season. She also was a defender on the United States U-18 Women’s National team that traveled to Spain for a La Manga Tournament in March.

She has a 3.98 grade point average and will play next season at Clemson.

Mackin’s name is added to the list of previous Colorado Gatorade Soccer Players of the Year that includes Mountain Vista’s Mallory Pugh (2014-15), Kaycie Young of Rock Canyon (2013-14), Mountain Vista’s Gabbi Miranda (2012-13), Janine Beckie of Valor Christian (2011-12) and Annie Kunz of Wheat Ridge (2010-11 and 2009-10).

All-American Bowl nominees Three local players are among five Colorado athletes and 400 nationally to be nominated to play in the 2017 AllAmerican Army Bowl football game that will be held Jan. 7, 2017 in San Antonio.

Valor Christian quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, Pomona lineman Jake Moretti and Cherry Creek defensive lineman Jonathan Van Diest headline the list of Colorado nominees.

Ninety players will make up the East and West teams and finalists will be announced next fall.

Mountain Vista, Valor make soccer finals

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista made its third consecutive appearance in the Class 5A soccer semifinals May 21 at Sports Authority Stadium, and the Golden Eagles knew the importance of a good start.

The Golden Eagles led 3-0 at halftime and survived a Columbine flurry early in the second half to notch a 4-1 victory, which sent Vista into the state finals for the first time since winning the championship in 2013.

“It was really importance to get off to a quick start,” said junior Katie Joella. “We knew we needed to put the game away at the beginning and assure ourselves that we would move on because Columbine was such a strong team. They have great forwards and they get big time goals so it was great to have that lead.”

Sixth-seeded Mountain Vista (15-3-1) was scheduled to play top-seeded Grandview (17-0-1) in the May 25 state title match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Results of the game were not available at press time.

Joella made sure the Golden Eagles forced Columbine to play catch-up with two goals in the first 17 minutes of the game.

“Our team had great momentum going into the first half,” Joella said. “It was great when I saw the ball get past that defender. I saw my chance to score and it happened twice.”

Maisie Paulson made it 3-0 before the first half ended but Columbine swarmed around the Golden Eagles net early in the second half and cut the deficit to 3-1 with a goal in the 66th minute.

Taeya Schueppert’s goal on a rebound eased the pressure eight minutes later to boost Vista into a 4-1 lead.

“That was an important goal,” Joella said. “They definitely had a lot of momentum in the second half. That goal turned the tide.”

Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer is pleased by how her team has performed in the playoffs.

A three-way collision occurs near the goal as Columbine’s Tessa Barton gets caught between Mountain Vista goalkeeper Kylee Love, left, and Madison Chaffee. The Golden Eagles went on to win 4-1 and advance to the 5A state final. Photos by Paul DiSalvo “The girls have been on the rise at the right time,” she said.

Meanwhile, Valor Christian won its eighth straight game, a 2-0 Class 4A semifinal shutout over Windsor in the Class 4A playoffs May 21. The seventh-seeded Eagles faced top-seeded Lewis-Palmer in the May 25 state championship game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Results of the game were not available at press time.

Valor Christian goalkeeper Alexandra Daws avoids the collision with Windsor’s Margaret Zimmerman (5) and makes the save. The Eagles went on to win 2-0 and move on to the state final.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 23, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Home conditions still demand attention. Also, keep an open mind about a sudden question of trust involving a close friend.

Mountain Vista falls in lacrosse semifinals Golden Eagles’ season comes to end with loss to Arapahoe

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mountain Vista boys lacrosse coach Jamie Munro waited patiently 10 minutes after the Golden Eagles’ 9-8 state playoff semifinal loss to Arapahoe for players to join the rest of the team in the Legacy Stadium dressing room.

Most players on the way lined up to hug Erin Herman, the wife of former coach Jake Herman, who died in January. Then after a team meeting, more players hugged Herman and her two children, Pauly and Tobi, as they departed.

A season that began with high hopes was over after Mountain Vista surrendered a 4-1 halftime lead during the physical May 18 game. Third-period penalties played a large role.

Three of Arapahoe’s six third-period tallies were man-advantage goals but Vista twice overcame two-goal deficits and had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds but a pass to an open

state playoffs, finished with a 16-2 record, with one of the wins having come against Arapahoe (14-11) in the final game of the regular season.

Junior Colin Munro, the team’s leading scorer with 56 goals and 88 points, had two goals and four points against Regis. Evan Place scored twice against the Raiders.

“It was a heck of a season and it was a tough year too,” said Jamie Munro.

“I’m proud of the guys. It’s not like they choked against Arapahoe. They played very well. Sometimes you need to get some breaks. We didn’t get many. We might of have had two. That’s how it goes sometimes. That’s why you play the game.”

Mountain Vista has a 46-7 record over the past three seasons and three of those setbacks have come in the playoffs. The Golden Eagles lost in the quarterfinals in 2014 and in the semifinals the past two years.

“It’s not like we’ve been at it that long,” Jamie Munro said. “This is the first time we didn’t make another step. But it was a step because we had a higher seed. We played well. It just always doesn’t work out.”

The 29th annual ride will be held on June 5

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Lone Tree resident and longtime cycler Susie Wargin, the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival is the kick-off to cycling season in the Front Range.

“There are so many beautiful stretches,” said Wargin, who enjoys riding Roller Coaster Road, Highway 105 through Perry Park and Black Forest. “It’s even better on a bike.”

Wargin will join other cycle enthusiasts for the 62-mile course, one of five distances offered at the 29th annual event in Castle Rock. Also available to ride are 100- and 40-mile road courses, a 27mile gravel course and a family friendly 8-miler.

The 2016 Subaru Elephant Rock Sunrise Sunset all-day mountain bike event, kicking off on the morning of June 4, is back on the trails at the new Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. This playful

course, a 6.5-mile loop with short climbs and quick descents, offers recreational and competitive cyclists the thrill of competing in a challenging endurance race on a moderately technical off-road course.

This year, the event has partnered with professional cyclist Tom Danielson for ride-day activities. Danielson, who has competed at cycling’s highest levels, including the Tour de France, now makes Colorado home and is turning his attention and devoting his energy to fulfilling his passion of helping others reignite their love of cycling.

“Tom is such a great rider, with so much to share, and his enthusiasm is totally infectious,” said Scot Harris, Subaru Elephant Rock’s event director. “We’re humbled that he is willing to share his precious time and energy with our ERock riders.”

At the June 5 ride, Danielson will spend the day on the course, riding with and encouraging riders. He will also be available during the post-ride celebration, the always-popular Party at the Rock to meet and talk with participants.

But it’s not just about riding. The Suba-

ru Elephant Rock is a major fundraising source for a variety of area nonprofits.

For the last seven years, the American Transplant Foundation and its team of enthusiastic cyclists have plied the courses of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival around Castle Rock to raise money in support of their efforts to save lives by reducing the ever-growing list of people awaiting a life-saving transplant. Team Transplant, which includes transplant recipients, living donors and friends, families and supporters of the foundation’s work among its more than 90 riders, has raised nearly $500,000 for the foundation over those seven years.

That amount is more than 90 percent of the organization’s fundraising goals.

“Team Transplant and the foundation are among our most enthusiastic riders every year,” Harris said. “They bring positive energy, a growing team of riders of all ages, awareness of an important cause, and an additional opportunity for us to give back to our community. We’re always thrilled to have them join us in Castle Rock.”

This year, the foundation is celebrating

4-8 p.m. - Camping check-In Sunday, June 5 (ride day) 5:30 a.m. - Registration and packet pickup 5:30-7:30 a.m. - 100-mile start 6-8 a.m. - 62-mile start 8-9 a.m. - 40- and 27-mile start 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. - 8-mile family start 10 a.m - 5 p.m. - Party At the Rock 5 p.m. - All courses close

its 10th anniversary and once again Team Transplant will be a key part of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival.

“This non-traditional, but incredibly effective way of fundraising is vital to supporting the American Transplant Foundation’s lifesaving programs, including our patient grants for living organ donors and transplant recipients,” said Erica Gundry, the foundation’s manager of programs and outreach. “Our riders give patients in Colorado and beyond the hope they need.”
