Chase case will stay in county Judge denies change-of-venue request from Ryan Stone Staff report

Jeanette Pollack, of Parker, meets Waya, a 9-year-old female wolf brought to CU South Denver March 7 as part of an event celebrating the start of the Iditarod.

Hundreds of people stopped by an Iditarod event at CU South Denver at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street on March 7 to learn about canine lineage and the connection that modern dogs have to wolves. More than 300 people of all ages got a chance to meet Ghost and Waya, two people-friendly wolves brought by a Woodland Park-based sanctuary called Colorado Wolf Adventures.

The founders of Praying Hands Ranch have spent three decades providing a spiritual lift with a lot of love and a little bit of horsepower.

The Parker Rotary Club celebrated the tireless contributions Carl and Shirley Hanson have made to the community by giving them its annual Impact Award, an honor that goes to those who exemplify Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.”

The Hansons were overcome with emotion as they accepted the award to a standing ovation at the State of the Town luncheon Feb. 24.

Every year, dozens of children and adults with varying mental and physical disabilities visit the sprawling Praying Hands Ranch and get to ride a horse. For many, it’s their first time, and the experience is liberating and, in some cases, life-changing.

“We’ve seen miracles,” said Shirley Hanson, who founded the nonprofit center with her husband 29 years ago. “Kids who didn’t talk suddenly talk.”

Praying Hands Ranch, near the Douglas-Elbert county line, uses an equine-assisted practice known as Hippotherapy. The treatment uses horse movements and social interaction that result in physical, occupational and speech and language benefits, and the Hansons believe it is their calling to bring the riding experience to people who might otherwise never have the chance.

The trial of a man suspected of leading police on a high-speed chase down I-25 will stay in Douglas County.

Douglas County District Court Judge Paul King denied a request for a change of venue in the case against Ryan Stone during a hearing in Castle Rock March 6. Stone, 28, allegedly stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one with a 4-year-old child inside — before crashing at Lincoln Stone Avenue and Peoria Street, just east of I-25, in March 2014. The entire chase was broadcast live on television by an 850 KOA news helicopter.

During the hearing, King granted a motion from 18th Judicial District prosecutors to exclude from consideration an insanity plea, and preclude mental condition evidence from being presented at trial.

The defense asked that uniformed officers be barred from the courtroom during the trial, which is scheduled to begin in April, but the “court will permit officers who are coming to work or going home from work to appear in uniform as spectators.” The issue could be “revisited at trail,” said Michelle Yi, spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District.

Stone faces a total of 26 charges, including one count of attempted first-degree homicide for allegedly trying to strike Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellaman Hee with a vehicle as he fled. Stone has also been charged with first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, robbery, vehicular eluding, three counts of aggravated car theft, child abuse, theft, vehicular assault, and six counts of leaving the scene of an accident.

He is scheduled to appear at another motions hearing at 8:15 a.m. April 2.

Dransfeldt: Taking the road more traveled Family leaves legacy of civic responsibility

A story from Gunhild Dransfeldt’s childhood in Parker

By Chris Michlewicz

Gunhild’s parents rented farmland from Ed and Lena Pouppirt (a portion of which now comprises O’Brien Park) in the midto late-1920s. Before prohibition, Parker had a handful of saloons, one of which could be especially lively when soldiers from a rifle range on land west of Parker would march into town, Gunhild Dransfeldt told a Douglas County NewsPress reporter for an article printed in 1984.

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Ever since the family’s arrival in 1896, the Dransfeldt name has had a home in Parker.

It’s a familiar surname to anyone who has driven through town in the last two decades, and one that’s well known to longtime residents. In many ways, Fred and Gunhild Dransfeldt made their mark on Parker, and it’s only suitable that their name live on in the minds of today’s residents. But it only counts if one knows the story behind the name.

Fred Dransfeldt’s parents, Hans Claussen Dransfeldt and Marie Goetz, a cowhand and maid, respectively, met in 1903 on property that is This is the second innow occupied stallment in a regular

According to a 1997 news article in Parker Country Magazine, it wasn’t until 1924 that Gunhild Kragelund arrived from Denmark with her parents, Louis and Jensine. At various times, the family rented out farmhouses along the Cherry Creek corridor. The Kragelunds lived in two of the area’s most infamous buildings, the 20-Mile

When she was a little girl, soldiers would march to the gun range from Fort Logan.

“I used to sit out on the road and watch them go by,” she said. “Field pieces, wagons, tents were pulled by mules, and it would make quite a parade.”

D RI V I NG HISTORY HO ME

The gun range was on land between what is now Stroh Ranch and RueterHess Reservoir.

Fred and Gunhild Dransfeldt, as they appeared in the Douglas County News-Press in 1984. The couple was married in 1940. Courtesy photo House and the 17-Mile House, which still stand.

She graduated from the K-12 school in Parker (now the Mainstreet Center) in 1936, attended Barns Business College to learn secretarial skills, and became one of Parker’s first commuters, working for a Denver trucking company, the article says.

Through their interests in dairy farming, the Dransfeldt and Kragelund families became friends, and romance blossomed between Fred and Gunhild. They married in 1940 and later had a daughter, JoAnn. The newlyweds rented the dairy farm in Melvin from Fred’s parents and had designs on purchasing the spread, but it became clear that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would build Cherry Creek Reservoir, “dash-

ing Fred’s dream of buying the home place and expanding the operation,” the article says.

That is what brought the Dransfeldts south to Parker in 1951, and they eventually purchased land from Harry Hicks between what is now Jordan Road and Dransfeldt Road. Members of the local grange helped the family make the move and harvest their crops, but Gunhild’s father was involved in a tractor accident while helping and died within a week.

Fred Dransfeldt was civic-minded and served on multiple boards of directors throughout his life. He helped start the Parker Volunteer Fire Department by soliciting signatures on petitions to form the district so it would be able to secure money

through a tax-supported entity. He also was a charter member of the Lions Club.

“During the 33 years I knew Dransfeldt, he always put community responsibility ahead of his personal interest,” said his son-in-law, John Fetters, in a column written for the Douglas County News-Press in 1995.

Fred and Gunhild provided much of the capital to start a Bank of the West branch in 1978 on land donated by Jensine Kragelund on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet.

In 1986, Fred Dransfeldt was injured in an automobile accident which limited some of his community activities, but he was still active until his death in 1993.

Gunhild Dransfeldt was a respected businesswoman and owned “Glitzy Glitz Girls,” a ladies apparel shop on South Parker Road near the Douglas-Arapahoe county line, with her daughter and granddaughter.

d Math teacher counts on compassion Apple Award winner aims to break through educational ceilings

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Legend High School math teacher Cari Corley loves teaching students who don’t understand math.

“Students who struggle challenge me more,” said Corley. “And they need someone who will like them right where they are.”

Corley was named Secondary Educator of the Year during the 2015 Apple Awards, an annual Douglas County School District event that honors district teachers and staff.

Not understanding math “creates a ceiling” for students, limiting their choice of future careers and earning potential.

Corley won’t be satisfied, she said, “until every individual has equal access to maximizing their potential.”

While DCSD emphasizes the four C’s of a 21st-century education — communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking — Corley focuses on three C’s: compassion, community and competence. One leads to the next, she said.

Some of the high school students she teaches are stuck at a third-grade math level, and have hit a mental roadblock about the subject. Corley believes compassion is the first step to getting them past that roadblock, and in the o wasprocess, open their futures to a myriad of possibilities.

“Nothing makes us feel more dumb than math,” she eldt,said. sibil- As well as she recognizes the frustration students feel, d hisshe also can read the suddenly confident expression on a writ-student’s face when math becomes clear. ss in “They just started rewriting their identity; their identity becomes, ‘I can do this,’” Corley said. “That’s exactly why f theI do this.” ch in While Corley isn’t new to teaching, she was inspired lundto a more compassionate approach by her 20-year-old arkerson, who has developmental disabilities. Peter originally hoped to become a veterinarian. With his parents’ help, he uredinstead launched a nonprofit at their Parker alpaca ranch mitedcalled Alpaca Partners. The business, which Peter owns, ut heserves the special-needs community.

In developing the business, the Corleys talked about ectedthe themes they wanted to guide them, and were struck Glitzby the three C’s.

Park- “Those three words guide what we do in the classuntyroom,” Corley said. hter. She also was spurred to a new way of teaching by her

Legend High School math teacher Cari Corley works with students Lily Wait, Kellie Travis and Zane Valdez in her classroom. Courtesy photo experience at Aurora’s Hinkley High School, where she taught before coming to Legend. Most of her students there were “outliers,” she said, kids who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Traditional teaching methods didn’t work with them.

“I had to be a different teacher,” Corley said. “And that’s where I fell in love with these kids, and learned to use math as a connection. The kids who live on the fringe of community, they’re the center of my world.”

Because not all children learn the same way, Corley has designed her classroom setup accordingly. Straight rows of individual desks gave way to a group setting, which has evolved into clusters of desks. That allows for both students who do best in group settings and those who need space and time to process.

“We have a lot of students who don’t learn in a typical fashion,” Corley said.

Corley exercises compassion in her personal life as well. In addition to Peter and an 11-year-old son, she and

her husband Dan have two adopted daughters. Because the girls had suffered significant trauma before the adoption, raising them has not been easy.

“We’ve been given a lot,” she said. “These were two little girls who had run out of options and had nowhere to belong. How do you say no?”

A passion for preserving the past Library archive center contains trove of historic documents, photos

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Having a conversation with the gatekeeper to Douglas County’s history is like taking a journey into the past.

Shaun Boyd, archivist for the Douglas County History Research Center, shows off “the vault” with great pride. It’s actually a windowless room in the center of the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock packed full of filing cabinets and random boxes, and despite the appearance of disarray, everything is carefully organized. Well, almost everything.

Keeping track of tattered historical documents and faded pictures is a never-ending job.

The rolling shelves and fireproof cabinets, fiercely guarded by a waterless fire suppression system, hold the keys to the county’s birth and everything that has happened since.

Old photos and negatives, biographical files on pioneer families, newspaper articles dating back 150 years, oral histories as told by the area’s first residents, maps that show long-gone sites — it’s all there, except for a few thousand archives kept at off-site storage units.

Boyd unleashes compelling stories and interesting facts at an astonishing rate. At various points, she talks about: the volcanic eruption that flattened an ancient rainforest that lies 25 feet or so beneath the county’s outermost layers; the genealogy database that shows one current resident’s relation to 4,000 people from local families; a mysterious 2,000-year gap in which there is no evidence of people in what is now Colorado; and the prehistoric Paleo-Indian archaeological Lamb Spring site off Titan Road, where some of the earliest signs of life exist.

“It’s tens of skeletons, all in a pile, and apparently the prehistoric people drove them over the cliff and threw spears at them,” Boyd said. “So (archaeologists) found spear points in the mammoth remains, and basically found (evidence of) people interacting with mammoths.”

Archivist Shaun Boyd shows off one of the records rooms at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock. Photos by Chris Michlewicz She also talks about the painstaking process of cleaning, labeling, digitizing and preserving the thousands of documents that come their way each year. Sometimes, the treasures come from the family members of a longtime resident who has just passed, and they are bequeathing the collection to Douglas County Libraries. One man took photos to document a time period in which Parker’s oldest buildings were being torn down. He also had receipts from the materials used to construct the buildings.

Using a precise archiving system that provides access to census data, birth and death records and old news articles, Boyd can help pinpoint the locations of homesteads, identify the professions of early pioneers, and find

details about the challenges they faced. Boyd is helped by two full-time employees and a handful of library catalog specialists, as well as a team of dedicated volunteers.

“The longer somebody’s in this job, the better they get at it,” said Boyd, who has worked for the history research center for 16 years.

The team’s dedication stems from a love of history. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, catalog librarian Kathy Thomas and senior cataloging and metadata librarian Nancy Kall carefully used a special cleaner on a map of Douglas County from 1941.

The process is tedious, but crucial, and it’s even more important to keep good track of the items. Douglas County Libraries has already transferred thousands of documents to microfilm and is in the beginning stages of digitizing 400,000 photos, an endeavor that makes things easier to find and provides an extra copy of something that could perish with time.

Local students take home tech awards Event provides challenges across variety of arenas

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sarah Coleman’s heart pounded as she watched her hand-crafted vehicle repeatedly slam into a piece of wood. Inside, surrounded by Styrofoam, was a still-uncracked raw egg.

The STEM Academy student was participating in the Crash Test event, which tests a student-designed car’s ability to safely transport an egg through increasingly severe impacts.

Coleman’s egg never cracked, which secured her a first place in the 2015 Colorado Technology Student Association State Leadership Exposition, held Feb. 19-21 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center Hotel.

She also earned a first in the Communications Challenge.

“I got up to get my first medal, sat back down, and they announced my name again two minutes later,” she said. “I was really surprised. I felt really, really happy.”

The Acres Green seventh-grader is among about 40 students from the Highlands Ranch STEM school who qualified during the state event to participate in this summer’s National TSA Conference in Dallas. About 150 STEM students competed.

Mountain Vista High School took 57 students to the exposition, with 21 qualifying for nationals.

Mountain Vista sophomore Alec Yagey was elected sergeant-at-arms for the state

TSA organization, one of just seven students statewide who serves on the team and the high school’s first state TSA officer.

About 1,300 students statewide competed during the state event.

Douglas County award winners also included students and teams from Castle View, Legend and Rock Canyon high schools, and Cimarron and Cresthill middle schools.

The broad range of events in which they competed included animatronics, architectural renovation, castle ballistics, biotechnology and engineering design, software development, video game design and underwater remote vehicles.

STEM’s middle school chapter also was named Chapter of the Year, and STEM teacher Mike Shallenberger was awarded TSA Advisor of the Year.

STEM traditionally has done well at the state event, in part because of its focus on subjects that naturally dovetail with TSA. It’s also among few schools that have both a middle and high school TSA chapter.

“STEM obviously is a focus for our school,” Shallenberger said. “But honestly, I really think the way we run our chapter is very different in that we don’t focus on the win. We focus on the kid and the learning, the process. We focus on building community. The wins just kind of come out of that.”

Mountain Vista TSA adviser Kent Allison said the club is an ideal fit for many of the high school’s students.

“Our principal, Mike Weaver, has always encouraged us to have the best comprehensive high school in the state,” he

STEM Academy student Sarah Coleman watches as her vehicle is put through its paces during TSA’s Crash Test. The event was part of a state competiton held at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. Courtesy photo said. “That’s everything from having good sports, band and drama programs and then the academics that go along with it.

It’s about finding opportunities for every kid in high school. What’s exciting about TSA is it gives them a different avenue to show off their talents.

“I’m just super proud of them.”

Shallenberger believes the awards sug-

gest good days ahead for his students.

“This is a great example of how we prepare kids for the real world,” he said. “I want to focus on preparing kids for jobs that don’t exist yet. So when you look a t these forward-thinking competitions, and the fact that we do well in them, I think that probably speaks to the fact we are preparing kids for the future.”

PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY Survey invites community feedback

The Town of Parker’s biennial Citizen Survey process is now underway. Surveys were mailed to 3,000 randomly selected Parker households in late February 2015, inviting residents to share their feedback on a variety of questions about town services and priorities.

The survey gives residents an opportunity to provide performance feedback to their local government, as well as communicate priorities for community planning and resource allocation. The focus on quality of service delivery helps town council and staff set priorities for budget decisions and lays the groundwork for tracking community opinions about the core responsibilities of town government over time.

For the first time since the survey’s inception, those selected to participate will also receive a code to take the survey online if preferred. Survey responses are completely anonymous and results will be announced this summer. For additional information, contact Elise Penington, communications director, at 303-805-3113 or visit the Town of Parker website at www. parkeronline.org/citizensurvey.

Seedling trees available to landowners

The Douglas County Conservation District, in cooperation with the Colorado State Forest Service, has seedling trees available for sale to local residents. There is no minimum amount of property required to purchase trees and shrubs and there are a wide variety of species available. This

year, the nursery is offering a variety of perennial flowering plants. The trees and shrubs are to be planted for conservation uses such as windbreaks and shelterbelts, living snow fences, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and reforestation. Order forms are available at dcconservation.com or by calling 303-688-3042 ext. 100, or email pam.brewster@co.nacdnet.net. Species are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The last day for ordering will be March 30 to be picked up on April 15 in Castle Rock in time for spring planting.

Missionaries volunteer for race

Forty missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Parker helped out in the “Love ‘em or Leave ‘em Valentine’s Day 5k/10k Race” sponsored by the Town of Parker Feb. 14. They helped set up the race course, handed out water to runners, assisted at the finish line and cheered on all participants along the course. Thirty-six LDS Missionaries serve in the Parker area and range from ages 18 to 22.

One race participant commented said it’s “awesome to see so many young people out serving in the community.” The fulltime missionaries volunteer in the community through the JustServe.org website, which lists volunteering opportunities in local communities. Users log on and sign up for upcoming volunteering events.

Event organizers can then keep track of how many people will be helping at their event. Organizers of the race used the Just Serve website to rally volunteers.

For mall, security always a priority P Police chief says training for attacks is frequent, ongoing

By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com A February terrorist threat against shopping centers didn’t prompt Lone Tree police to take new action to protect Park Meadows mall. It has been training for such a possibility for years.

“Some of the press have called and asked, `Have we done anything differently?,’ ” said Pamela Schenck-Kelly, Park Meadows’ senior general manager. “The answer is `no,’ because we have never ratcheted down the threat.”

Somali terror group al Shabaab, responsible for the 2013 attack on Kenya’s Westgate Mall in which 67 people were killed, recently urged attacks on shopping centers. It singled out Minnesota’s Mall of America, which draws about 40 million annual visitors to its more than 500 shops.

Park Meadows, with about 2 million annual visitors, is the largest mall in Colorado and several contiguous states.

A small city within Lone Tree, it includes about 1.6 million square feet of shopping and 192 stores and restaurants, and is ranked as a super-regional mall. More than 40,000 people visit the center on an average day, and about 5,000 people work there.

Large-scale, multi-agency trainings are held semi-annually during Park Meadow’s off hours. They include officers from Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and SWAT

Photo by Jane Reuter team members. Smaller trainings and tabletop exercises are conducted between those larger events. Communications systems are routinely tested and updated with new intelligence and technology, and the opening of new stores.

Law enforcement and emergency personnel regularly meet with merchants to review and update plans.

“Without going into great detail, that mall has an incredible technological advantage that keeps it a safe environ-

ment,” Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter said. “We can’tFra put bubbles over buildings and keep all the bad guys out.

But we continually monitor and train. We will stay on top live of this.”

The mall invests significant resources into prevention,Staff evaluation, training and preparing for catastrophic events W of all kinds.

“We didn’t have to deal with these kinds of things whenpilot the mall first opened 18 years ago,” Kelly said. “Today, wepilot spend probably 20 percent of our resources on that type of Th tache prevention.

“Obviously, active shooter is one of the things we do. But out o we have looked at every kind of scenario there could be,Ange whether it’s weather-related, plane crashes or terrorism.” Squa The mall employs its own security staff. Additionally, hims the Lone Tree Police Department has a substation at thea nav mall. The officers based there are specifically assigned tosized sition the center. nava Park Meadows has increased its security staff hours.

“But really more than anything, (that’s) to provide better “I observation and customer service,” Kelly said. “Police de- tive d “The partments are here to serve and protect.”

Streeter gave a broad overview of the city’s emergencyprou training and plans for Park Meadows during the city coun-caree cil’s March 3 meeting. Councilmembers were reassured bystart W what they heard.

“The bad guys don’t look for the best-defended target,”Field Mayor Jim Gunning said. “They look for the least-defendedfrom target. The fact that we’re prepared here, I think, is a deter-turbo time rent.” tains

Pilot pulls double duty Franktown man lives out his dream Staff report When he’s not flying the friendly skies as a pilot for United Airlines, Cmdr. Joe Fields is a pilot in the U.S. Navy Reserve.

The Corpus Christi, Texas, native, who is attached to Navy Operational Support Center out of Fort Carson, grew up watching the Blue Angels, the Navy’s elite Flight Demonstration Squadron. He dreamed of becoming a pilot himself and achieved that goal when he became a naval aviator in 1990. When the Navy downsized in 1993 following the Cold War, he transitioned into the Navy Reserve to continue his naval career.

“It was heartbreaking to have to leave active duty but it opened a new door,” Fields said.

“The Navy Reserve allowed me to continue to proudly serve in the military while beginning a career as an airline pilot, getting married and starting a family.”

With the training he gained in the Navy, Fields was able to easily make the transition from flying the Navy’s P-3 Orion, a four-engine turboprop used for anti-submarine and maritime surveillance, to the Airbus 320 he now captains.

“My Navy flight training and flying P-3s worldwide definitely helped me obtain a job flying for United Airlines,” said Fields, a Franktown resident. “My Navy experience flying and leading a 12-person crew gave me the crew resource management skills used in commercial aviation.”

In 2011, Fields deployed to Iraq with the Special Operations Command — or SOCOM — where he served as an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance battle captain. Although it took him away from his family, he cites it as one of the best experiences of his career.

“Serving overseas in Iraq and working with our Joint Special Forces was one of the highlights of my career so far,” Fields said.

“The honor of working with sailors who are the true patriots sacrificing their personal lives for our country, is a humbling and rewarding experience.”

Fields Vice Adm. Robin Braun, chief of the Navy Reserve, helped mark the 100th anniversary of the Navy Reserve in March by celebrating the accomplishments of reserve sailors past and present.

“Their continued dedicated service in support of the Navy, Marine Corps and Joint Force lends credence to our motto: `Ready Now. Anytime, Anywhere,’ ” he said.

Being go-to person offers big benefits You know that moment where we need help with a situation or project and someone around us says, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy?”

Sometimes they don’t just say it, they whisper it like it’s a best-kept secret or like it’s the kind of situation or project that calls for the kind of guy that shows up in the shadows, comes from the underworld, and has a crooked smile where the short end of a cigar dangles from the corner of his lips.

You know the feeling right, that, “I’ve got a guy from Detroit,” or `I’ve got a guy from New York,” who can really help you with anything — that kind of feeling.

Since I am originally from New Jersey, I joke around a lot with my friends about this subject. Anytime that they bring up a situation or express a need, I say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy.”

Now the truth is that in most situations I do have a guy, or a gal, or a company who can help them out. You see, I have developed a fairly robust network of friends, colleagues, contractors, customers and associates who are always willing to help out if and when I need them. And one of my favorite things to do is to help connect the dots where I can so that I can help as many people as possible whenever I can.

Some people call it networking and that is fine, because I guess that is what it really is at the end of the day. I prefer to feel like I am building solid win-win relationships with people who also understand that they can contact me at any time as well should

my skills, resources or services be of value to them in their time of need.

Now the network of friends, people and companies I have developed and nurtured to become what they are did not happen overnight. This has been a lifetime of giving back to them, demonstrating my love and loyalty and willingness to help.

Being available to talk or act as needed. As a matter of fact, throughout my career I have made it a point to continually reach out and stay in touch with as many people as possible. A very proactive approach to staying connected.

Some of you may say, well that’s just not my thing, or that is not important to me.

And that’s OK, I just wanted to give you some of the benefits I see when it comes to having a guy or gal or someone you can go to in time of need. Or better yet, the benefit of being that guy or gal when someone calls you in their time of need.

Recently I have helped connect the dots for people looking for work. I get resumes all the time and I always promise to keep

my eyes and ears open for opportunities to share those resumes. And recently that has worked out well for a few of my connections. When a friend of mine from New Jersey had a son visiting Colorado and needed assistance with some short-term housing, I was able to help. And when I was traveling and away from my home when a blizzard hit, I had a guy I called who handled all of the snow removal at my home so I didn’t return in the middle of the night to a driveway full of snow. (Thank you, Tim.) You see, having a “go-to” person or being that “go-to” person really does have its benefits. And when we take the time to build those relationships over the course of a lifetime, we will have such a vast network of people who are always willing to help us and we will have such a sense of accomplishment as we are able to look back on each time or event where we were placed in a position to help others as well.

Are you that “I’ve got a guy” or “I’ve got a gal” kind of person? Can your skills, resources, or services be of benefit to someone else today? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we become part of someone else’s network while building a network of our own, it really will be a better than good week.

When it comes to list, ice cream topping it I have a question. Name one thing that is loved, treasured and appreciated all over the world.

Family, friends, sex, God and soup might be too easy.

Jennifer and I came up with fruits and vegetables, and dogs and cats.

She said chocolate.

I said music, but that seems too inclusive. Opera and hip-hop are not loved all over the world. Or even downstairs.

Art? But that’s a very big umbrella too.

Shoes? Sure. And that’s all the way from Imelda Marcos, who owned over a thousand pairs of shoes, to Charlie Chaplin’s tramp, who owned only one pair — but they made him famous.

Of course, going without shoes is common too. I grew up in a home where shoes were removed as soon as you walked in. Or else.

Guests could leave theirs on.

I think the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Ten. Maybe the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Five. I can live without my computer. For a couple of hours.

Books? They would be in my Top Ten. Cell phones? Probably. Unfortunately.

Not me.

Live performances? I think so.

My pen pal Anne Akiko Meyers plays her violin all over the planet.

There are many other kinds of live performances. Cirque du Soleil goes absolutely everywhere, and everyone goes home happy.

Who doesn’t like pencils?

Coffee, soft drinks and hamburgers have huge admiring audiences. Is there anything more ubiquitous than Coca-Cola?

I don’t think so.

I came up with the best answer. Invite one man, one woman and one child from every country in the world and sit them down in a stadium and hand them a bowl and a spoon.

And two scoops of ice cream.

There you are: It’s ice cream. We all love it.

I know. I know. Some of us are lactoseintolerant.

Maybe my answer isn’t the best, because approximately 65 percent of adults have a reduced ability to digest lactose

Feds need to help counties in West For decades, communities across Colorado and the West have engaged in a contract with the federal government.

This is because many counties have large swaths of federal land within their borders in the form of BLM land, national forests, and national parks and monuments.

These lands aren’t taxable, and local communities often cover the expenses of maintaining access to these lands and providing safety and other first-responder services. To help offset those losses, the federal government has reimbursed states and counties through a program called Payment in Lieu of Taxes. It’s often referred to as PILT. Colorado is 36 percent federal land, and some counties in the state contain more

than 90 percent federal land, making PILT critical to their budgets and planning.

Twelve counties depend on more than $1 million a year in PILT funding, and Garfield and Mesa counties rely on more than Bennett continues on Page 9

after infancy.

And it’s 90 percent in people of East Asian descent.

Okay. Let’s forget about ice cream. But it would be in my Top Ten. And I can be more specific. Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Caramel Fudge.

The balancing act of those three components is sublime. There is nothing else like it.

I can do just fine with vanilla, all by itself. Vanilla has become a derogatory adjective, but not with me.

And then there is Vanilla Ice, which isn’t a frozen dessert at all. The former rapper was arrested in February on charges of burglary and grand theft.

The caramel aligns neatly with the vanilla, and along comes fudge to make everything perfection.

It’s not a freak like some of their other flavors. In fact, you could make it yourself.

But I wouldn’t get the percentages just right, and they do.

Dogs — not cats — would be in my Top Ten. Maybe I should have just said “pets,” because many of us have birds and fish and ferrets and hamsters, although I don’t know why, when you can own a dachshund.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Students need incentive on state tests

I was an educator for over 30 years.

I taught high school for 27 years and I believe I had an excellent rapport with most students. When it came to CSAP, TCAP (now PARCC) exams, many told me they simply didn’t care about them.

Why should they? The tests don’t count.

Just another test.

This is the elephant in the room: Students have little if no incentive to take the exams. Thus, there is an outspoken and growing group of parents and their school-aged children opting out of taking the test. Since the pupils don’t see the benefit or value of the tests to them, threatening teachers’ salaries or school funding won’t compel them to change their minds. What is important for most parents and students are grades and money for college.

Help solve this issue by getting students invested in taking the test.

How about making the state-exam results a percentage of GPA? Maybe Letter continues on Page 9

The other nominees for the Impact Award

Continued from Page 1

BILL KRAEMER

FRANK JAEGER

DR. LAWRENCE EMMONS

Kraemer, a retired U.S. Air Force nurse, has served the needs of seniors at the Parker Senior Center since 2010 and was nominated by its manager, Jan Dengal.

Jaeger, the retired district manager for the Parker Water & Sanitation District, was nominated for his vision in creating Rueter-Hess Reservoir and for his foresight in helping the community develop a sustainable source of water.

Emmons, a radiologist with Diversified Radiology of Colorado and Parker Adventist Hospital, has practiced medicine for more than 35 years, the past 26 in Parker.

“With children and adults, we’re seeing wonderful things happen out there with our therapists,” said Shirley Hanson, 84.

“It’s a marvelous therapy. It makes the little ones feel big and important and the older ones, it gives them more joy.”

Jo Stone, an attorney in Parker who has known the Hansons for 14 years, describes them as “extraordinary people” with an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others. Stone says the Hansons are optimistic, caring and constantly driven by their faith. They not only impact people with disabilities and their families with the therapy, they opened their home and adopted a man with special needs who helps do chores around the ranch and is part of the 11-member family.

It is an example of the Hansons’ selflessness, Stone says.

“The reason why they’re so effective is because they are humble, they are genuine and they are two of the few people I’ve known in my life who are capable of unconditional love,” she said.

Because they are so busy, Shirley Hanson said she and Carl, 85, don’t have time to think about being recognized for their work, but were “very pleased” to hear they were nominated. The thanks she receives comes in the form of smiles and laughter from the budding riders, a sight that “makes you laugh and smile yourself,” she says.

Simply put, the reason the Hansons have invested their time, money, effort

“Often when seniors can no longer drive they neglect [important areas] of their lives,” Dengal said. “With the service of Bill Kraemer, many seniors are transported to the center for a meal and remain to participate in the afternoon activities.” and hearts for so long is because “the Lord asked,” Shirley Hanson said. If the name of the ranch didn’t give it away, the equine therapy center is rooted in interdenominational faith and is assisted by a steady stream of volunteers from local churches.

“We really have a faith that God is with us and has led us into this and has helped us and blessed the children,” Shirley Hanson said. “Some have been actually healed physically.”

$3 million in funding. In 2014, Colorado counties were owed $34.5 million in total.

Communities use this money to fund critical services, such as law enforcement, fire protection, emergency response programs, road and bridge maintenance, and search and rescue operations.

In recent years, ensuring the federal government lives up to its end of the bargain has been difficult. With the end of mandatory funding due to congressional inaction, funding now has to be reauthorized every year. With all of the dysfunction in Washington, we’ve had some close calls.

Many times counties have been forced to wait until deep into the fiscal year. Two years ago, we were able to secure a oneyear PILT extension in the 2014 Farm Bill after it was omitted from a government funding bill. For 2015, we funded it by cobbling together resources from two different bills. But there is no guarantee for 2016.

We’ve seen similar problems with a program called Secure Rural Schools, which has a similar purpose and has actually expired completely. Counties rely on the that program to provide critical services like maintenance projects and forest restoration, and it’s an important resource for rural schools. In 2014, Colorado’s rural communities received more than $10 million in SRS money. With its expiration, many rural school districts are facing tre-

The first time she met Bill was when he showed up to help at a senior center garage sale. For three days, he showed up at 7 a.m. and again at 3 p.m. While helping out with the garage sale, he saw a larger need for services and decided to put his energy and his compassion to work. He became a volunteer driver, taking seniors to medical appointments, grocery shopping, and to the senior center for meals.

In his letter of nomination Jim Nikkel, PWSD District Manager, said Jaeger’s crowning achievement is the permitting and construction of Rueter-Hess Reservoir, which was built east of Parker.

His vision and tenacity were key, said Bruce Lytle, president of Lytle Water Solutions, LLC. “The best attributes of Frank Jaeger are his vision, the ability to understand what was needed to move the District forward to secure reliable water supplies for the District’s constituents, and the fortitude and willpower to see those objectives met,” Lytle said.

The Hansons practice what they preach, put in the work needed to succeed and conduct themselves with a grace and humility throughout.

“They dream of how things could be and should be and they set about making that happen through their own sacrifice,” Stone said. “They’re not easily discouraged.”

With a second Praying Hands Ranch location on the southern end of Douglas County gaining a foothold, the Hansons’

mendous budget shortfalls that will impair their ability to educate our students.

With these programs in jeopardy, we joined forces with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho to introduce a bill to restore mandatory funding for the PILT program and extend the SRS program for three years. It will provide roughly $360 million annually for more than 700 counties across the nation. These resources are an essential lifeline for communities facing continuously shrinking budgets, and it is funding the federal government owes to them.

We have worked with Colorado counties for years on these issues and have heard from county commissioners and school districts across the state about their significance. The counties encompassing the San Juan Mountains rely on PILT funding to plow the region’s scenic mountain passes and roads, like Yankee Boy Basin Road in Ouray County, that attract thousands of visitors annually. In Gunnison County, the funding is crucial for conducting search and rescue operations in the national forests, as well as for maintaining road access to the forests. In Silverton, SRS funding makes up a significant portion of the school budget. If Chaffee County lost PILT funding, commissioners would be forced to make devastating cuts that could result in a loss of emergency medical services.

The federal government has made a promise to these rural communities. There is no reason for Congress to leave them in limbo year after year. Our bill ensures that with a globe for a head, doesn’t look very much like a little boy.

Here’s my Top Ten. It might change tomorrow. In no particular order: Music, pictorial art, non-fiction and fiction, dachshunds, pencils, ice cream, the Internet and my iMac, coffee, Q-tips and, certainly, potatoes.

Another idea is to ask the students and their parents who opted out what would motivate them to take the test? Understanding the issue from their perspective — and asking them for possible solutions — may go a long way to solving the opt-out conundrum.

Sam Weintraub Lone Tree

In a nomination letter, Parker Adventist Hospital President and CEO Morre Dean wrote that Emmons’ “serviceoriented approach makes him well received by his fellow physicians” and he “has championed advancing the quality of patient care delivered at Parker Adventist Hospital since the hospital opened in 2004.” Emmons, who has served on the Parker Adventist Hospital Foundation Board and as president of the medical staff at the hospital, brought 24/7 radiology coverage to the hospital, including the specialty areas of neuroradiology, interventional radiology and musculoskeletal radiology. reach is growing. That center is using Hippotherapy to assist, among others, veterans in their recovery from the mental and physical effects of their deployments.

Luckily for everyone who has the pleasure of knowing them, the Hansons have no intention of slowing down.

“We have no plans to not do it,” Shirley Hanson said. “It keeps you young and it keeps you going.”

Verdos detailed the alleged role of each person, saying it was his responsibility to “deal with anyone in the house who resisted them.” Jayne reportedly led the way to a bedroom drawer where jewelry was kept.

Soldier laid to rest six decades later Floyd Jackson died in 1951, DNA aids identification of remains

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Army Sgt. Floyd Jackson died more than 60 years ago. But loved ones - his mother, brothers and sisters, family friends — never had the chance for final closure or to honor a fallen hero with a full military funeral.

Jackson paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he died in a Korean prisoner of war camp half the world away.

Those same loved ones were plagued first with nagging, then lingering, then permanent unanswered questions.

Until recently, that is.

Because the right people were in the right place at the right time, Jackson was laid to rest next to his mother on March 7 in Olinger Chapel Hill Cemetery in Centennial — six decades after he died in the POW camp.

“Uncle Floyd died before I was born, but my family talked about how he died in prisoner of war camp,” said Joanne Mueller, Jackson’s niece and closest relative. “My daughter was looking at a family album and asked about Uncle Floyd.

Not long after that, we went to a meeting for families of service personnel missing in action. The Army asked for a DNA samples from the family. That was in 2004.”

It took until January for the government, using modern technology and family DNA samples, to identify the Littleton man’s remains and offer to return them to his family.

“I never thought this would happen in my lifetime,” Mueller said. “I knew it was my uncle’s wish to be buried next to his mother. So, I told my children, that, if Uncle Floyd’s remains

were identified and he was returned home after I died, to bury him next to his mother.”

Though they are full of beautiful details and precision movement, military funerals are never easy, said 1st Lt. Joseph Zarella, commander of an honor guard from Fort Carson.

For more photos and a video “This is my fourth military fuof the ceremony for Army Sgt. neral, and each one is nerve-racking.

Floyd Jackson, go to I go over the words in my head, but ParkerChronicle.net it is hard to speak those words when you look into the eyes of the loved one receiving the flag.”

Jackson was born in Warrensburg, Mo., in 1930. His mother brought her six children to Littleton about 1949 after her husband died. Jackson was a teenager and worked in the kitchen at Bradley Café in the Coors Building in Littleton until he joined the Army.

Jackson joined the Army in 1950. He was sent to the Far East and became a member of the 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, and 7th Infantry Division.

His unit was deployed near the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950 and their position was overwhelmed by hundreds of Chinese soldiers. Jackson was among those captured and taken to a Korean prisoner of war camp.

A soldier returning from the camp in 1953 said Jackson died on Feb. 13, 1951. His remains were not included in the more than 1,400 remains the Koreans returned in 1954.

Remains of additional American military personnel were recovered when the North Koreans allowed teams to excavate a number of locations between 1990 and 2005.

The Defense POW/MIA Personnel Office notified the family in January that Jackson’s remains had been positively identified.

“Two soldiers came to my home to tell me Uncle Floyd’s body had been identified and to bring information about him and the medals the Army awarded him,” Joanne Mueller said.

The Army awarded Jackson posthumously the Purple Heart, Combat Infantry Badge, Korean Service Medal, Prisoner of War Medal and National Defense Medal.

The sergeant’s body was brought to Denver March 5 by plane, escorted to the hearse by the Army pallbearers for a procession that was accompanied by police and the members of the veterans of Patriotic Guard motorcycle group.

Alan Sprig, a Vietnam veteran, wanted to honor a veteran who has been lost for so many years.

“I lost men in my unit in Vietnam, and coming here today is my way of honoring all those who died in the service of his company,” the Parker resident said. “I woke up this morning looking forward to coming here today.”

About 100 people — many of them volunteers, others military personnel in uniform — lined the road from the chapel to the gravesite.

The sergeant’s flag-draped coffin was brought to the grave on a wagon escorted by the Fort Carson’s honor guard, and the procession passed by those lining the road, many holding flags.

The honor guard placed the flag-draped coffin on the gravesite and then, with military precision, folded the flag into the traditional shape.

The flag was passed to Zarella, who then handed the folded flag to Joanna Mueller.

Zarella was honored to be part of the honor guard for Jackson’s funeral.

“This is a special ceremony because of the history of the veteran we are honoring,” he said. “This is most beautiful military funeral I have ever been part of.”

Don’t MYTH chance for

M AG I C CR EAT U R E S Dragons, unicorns, mermaids among legends at museum

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Just in time for spring break comes an exhibit about wondrous creatures of the imagination — from many cultures around the world, from land, sea and sky ….

“Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, Mermaids,” which originated at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, will be at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science from March 20 to Sept. 7.

Legends date back thousands of years.

In East Asia, dragons have sweeping powers, including breathing clouds, moving the seasons and controlling the waters of rivers, lakes and seas. European legends of dragons show them as powerful, wicked, dangerous ….

The exhibit has a 17-foot-long model of a dragon, with wingspan of 20 feet, as well as a statue of St. George, the Christian Crusader who slew a dragon, according to storytellers.

A visitor will also find toys, shadow puppets, pictures and an activity to create your own digital dragon.

And one sees fossils and pictures of actual creatures that might have inspired the ancient imagination. The exhibit addresses how science has evolved.

Guests will also see a 10-foot tall Kraken, a huge sea creature described in Scandinavian tales, with multiple tentacles that could attack a ship — perhaps inspired by the giant squid.

Closer to home, one will see a Colorado

A huge dragon figure greets visitors to the “Mythic Creatures” exhibit at Denver Museum of Natural History. jackalope, a Colorado howler and a fur-bearing trout.

Young visitors will find many things they can touch and a green screen where one can take a picture of oneself with a dragon or unicorn, and there’s an opportunity to make one’s own mythic creature.

“Mythic Creatures” was organized in collaboration with the Field Museum, Chicago;

Canadian Museum of Civilization, GatineauOttawa; Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; and Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta.

This exhibit also includes a very rare egg from the Aepyornis, an extinct “elephant bird” from Madagascar that laid the largest eggs in the world. It is part of the DMNS collection.

Thrifty show has passion for fashion Emmy Award-winning fashion icon Tim Gunn and Denver-based designer Mondo Guerra hosted fashion show fundraiser Goodwill En Vogue at Denver Union Station on March 5. The event featured a fashion show put on by local high school students in Goodwill Denver’s career development programs and ultimately raised more than $118,000 for the nonprofit.

Gunn co-hosted the fundraiser with 7NEWS meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo. Guerra, winner of “Project Runway All-Stars,” oversaw a team of judges who scored the student design competition, which was the first fashion show held at the recently restored historic Union Station.

The student winner, Jackie Rodriguez, is a junior at CEC Middle College of Denver and is receiving help to prepare for her future through Goodwill’s programs at her school. Her winning design incorporated drapes found at a Goodwill store that were transformed into an elegant pantsuit, inspired by the style and society of the 1920s, which earned her a coveted fashion design internship with Guerra.

More than 450 guests viewed a multitude of upcycled designs by students from Goodwill’s high school programs, each inspired by a different decade in history. In addition, area celebrities modeled in a show of upscale, chic trends from Goodwill’s Déjà Blue Boutique in Cherry Creek North.

All proceeds from the event benefited Goodwill’s career development programs for at-risk students, struggling adults, and individuals with disabilities. For more information about Goodwill’s local life-changing programs and how you can help, visit www. goodwilldenver.org.

Union Station makes top 11

Thrillist.com’s travel team rode the rails — at least virtually — for its list: The 11 Most Beautiful Train Stations Across America.

And no surprise to Denver dwellers, the rehabbed Union Station downtown was included in the lauded list. Thrillist looked for stations that are so “beautiful, so historic, so straight-up cool that you’re more than happy to get stuck, if only to wander around for a bit and pretend you’re Eliot Ness trying to take down Al Capone.”

Here’s what the website said about our spiffed-up train station: “Union Station, like Uma Thurman, may have undergone a few nips and tucks recently, but that hasn’t compromised its Beaux Arts facade, which was built in 1914. Today, the station’s most striking features include its exposed Train Hall (made of 11 steel arches), a 112-room boutique hotel, a slew of restaurants, shops, and bars and over 600 works of art on display throughout. And if that’s not enough, there’s even a 22-gate underground bus concourse lit by skylights. Okay, that was probably enough.”

r Ever wanted to play guitar? Learn how in one day Traveling quitarist teaches six to eight weeks of lessons in single sitting

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Marlene Hutchinson teaches students how to play guitar in a single day.

She travels around the country hosting a series of workshops and, most recently, she hosted a workshop March 7 at The Grange in Castle Rock. She has been featured in numerous national TV shows and print publications.

Hutchinson sat down with us to talk about her one-day program.

photo What makes you unique as a guitar teach-

er?

I think the thing that inspires people the ng- most when they come to my workshop is my background. I didn’t learn how to play . guitar until 12 years ago. So, I’m a relative novice to teaching guitar, but I think that’s mu- what really works in a sense because I get p.m. what it’s like to learn as an adult.

$25, How did you learn to play?

I decided it was a new year’s resolution.

I wanted to try guitar, so I got a starter guitar and went to a group lesson and from rts the first strum I could not get enough. I ng played all the time. I was an elementary dio, teacher and I would play in my classroom. .

I played at art festivals and coffee shops— just all the time.

ages How did you come up with a one-day pros, go gram?

I stated this program because I had people asking me to show them what I learned and it just kept growing from there. I had a lot of adults say, “I would love to learn to play, but I don’t have time for a weekly lesson program.” So I thought, “I wonder if I could do a one day program?”

How do students learn in just a day?

It’s really based on the private format lessons that I teach. It’s six to eight weeks of lessons in one day. So, it’s a pretty intense day. They’re fingers are sore at the end.

The basic format that I teach is simple chords. Easy strumming — very familiar

Marlene Hutchinson teaches student to play guitar in a single day with a condensed workshop that is equal to six to eight weekly lessons. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando songs that get you going right away.

How experienced are your students?

I assume that whoever is attending my workshop knows zero about guitar or music. I start by pointing out the parts of the guitar, how to hold the guitar. I teach them how to tune the guitar. I’m all about what’s the easiest, simplest way.

What is the first song they learn?

We start with a one-chord song. Row, Row, Row Your Boat. Everyone who learns with me starts with that.

How would you describe your teaching style?

I give the skill to the students, and then I walk around and follow up with each of them. It’s important to me that they get it.

I want them to fall in love with the guitar.

What concerns do students have coming to the workshop?

A lot of them are very intimidated. A lot of people say “I’m too old” or whatever.

And I say, well I started 12 years ago. I have Roy and 87-year-old student who started at 78. You’re never too old.

Do you teach more advanced programs as well?

Today, it’s the workshop. But I have in the works a follow up program. I teach all over the country, so I have a lot of people who want to follow up after the first workshop. What I’m going to be launching is a subscription-based program with a video library. I’m also going to be doing weekly webinars.

What kind of music do you like?

I love the Eagles, Sheryl Crow and singer-song writer type of stuff. That’s what I love.

By the end of the day?

They end up learning 14 songs and five different chords.

Wolverines lose a close one Chaparral’s bid for state hoop title ends at Great 8

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The faces of the Chaparral players and coaches showed their disappointment when they lost the state Class 5A Great 8 boys basketball playoff game to rival ThunderRidge.

“This was a tough one to lose,” Wolverines Coach Rob Johnson said. “We played hard, but ThunderRidge did a good job against us tonight. The worked their inside game and made it hard for us to overcome.”

Chaparral had a good regular season as they were 16-7 overall and their 6-4 league record earned them a number three seed and a bye in the first round of the state Class 5A boys basketball playoffs.

The Wolverines beat Mountain Range 51-33 and then bested Dakota Ridge 60-47 to advance to the Great 8 game against ThunderRidge.

The two teams had played twice coming into the game. The Grizzlies won the preseason battle and Chaparral bested ThunderRidge a couple weeks ago.

The March 7 Great 8 game was a battle from the opening tipoff with the teams battling to control the tempo of play. The Wolverines were up 10-8 at the end of the first quarter but ThunderRidge led 2926 at halftime. The battle continued through the third quarter and final outcome was still undecided with the score 44-44 with 2:13 remaining in the game. The Grizzlies hit eight of 10 free throws down the stretch to win the game, 52-47.

Chris Moody was the leading scorer for the Wolverines with 14 points and teammate Jake Holtzman had 13 points.

“We didn’t expect (Zach) Pirog to have the kind of game he had tonight. He had just seven points in the first two games against us,” coach Johnson said. “Tonight he was on his game inside and it made a difference.”

Senior forward Jake Holtzmann puts up a shot for Chaparral during the March 7 Class 5 A state boys basketball playoff game against ThunderRidge. Holtzmann scored 13 points for the Wolverines in the close battle, but the Grizzlies won the Great 8 matchup, 52-47. Photos by Tom Munds The loss was particularly tough since seven of his players are seniors and have been in the program for the past three or four years, Johnson said.

“This team is made up of some great kids, and I will miss the seniors,” he said. “Losing in the playoff hurts. In 23 years of coaching, only once did our team earn the championship trophy.”

Looking ahead, he said he has juniors who earned solid varsity experience, good younger players plus a good freshman class coming to Chaparral in the fall.

“We will learn from this game, go to work, and I think our program will be just fine for a long

time,” the coach said.

He and his teammates gave it their best efforts, but the win just didn’t happen, Holtzman said.

“I thought we played well, but ThunderRidge was good out there tonight,” he said. “It seemed we just couldn’t keep them from scoring inside. I hoped we’d go all the way, and I am sorry to see the season end.”

The senior said he swam and played basketball when he was younger, but decided basketball was his game. His plans are to graduate from Chaparral later this year and to continue his education and to continue playing basketball at the University of Denver.

Late cold streak dooms Legend Team already using state quarterfinal loss as motivation for next season

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com It might take Legend’s Morgan Porter and Jared Small months to forget how badly the Titans played late in their Great 8 game against Eaglecrest at the Denver Coliseum.

Legend was scoreless for 6:49 and watched the Raptors pull away for a 64-49 victory March 7 that ended the Titans season with a 19-7 record.

“I feel bad for our four seniors, but we never want to have this feeling again,” said Porter. “We will be in the gym everyday, whether it’s practice or us playing pick-up.

This team is full of brothers. We are a family.

“Our motivation is to be back and bring a state championship to Legend,” added the 6-foot-4 junior.

Legend started five juniors against Eaglecrest and had seven juniors and a sophomore on the roster.

“The loss to Eaglecrest is already our motivation for next season,” said Small.

“We’ll work hard this summer so this does not happen again.”

Jared Small hauls down a rebound for Legend during the March 7 state Class 5A playoff game against Eaglecrest.

Small led his team in rebounds, but the Raptors put on a late scoring run and won the game, 64-49.

Titan center Conner McCord goes after a loose ball during the March 7 state boys basketball playoff game against Eaglecrest. Legend stayed close for three quarters but the Raptors went on a final period scoring run and won the game.

Legend trailed only 37-36 after Danny Garrick’s 3-pointer with 1:14 left in the third quarter, but the Titans didn’t score again for 6:49 as the Raptors scored 17 points to take a 54-36 lead.

“It was a three-point game heading into the fourth quarter, and we didn’t score very many points,” said Legend coach Kevin Boley. “They did a good job in their zone

stuff, and we had to settle for a lot of 3s and we didn’t come up with a lot of second chances.

“They executed really well. We just didn’t respond in the fourth quarter.”

Small, a 6-6 junior, paced the Titans with 18 points and seven rebounds. Porter and Garrick, a 6-5 junior, each had 11 points.

Legend didn’t have an offensive rebound

until Small grabbed a missed Titans shot nearly two minutes into the third quarter.

Only three of the Legend’s 19 rebounds were offensive.

“Really thinking about how far this team came as far as chemistry, together as a family and buying into the rules, I’m really pleased with the season overall,” Boley said.

“Ella and I have been friends since we were 12 or 13, and there’s no one I would rather share this honor with,” said Ochitwa.

“I’m so proud of her and everything she accomplished this year. “That’s the coolest thing about Colorado swimming, everyone is friends and knows and loves each other. It’s a real cool thing to see the people racing in the final heat laughing, talking and hugging after the race.”

ThunderRidge’s Annie Ochitwa, left, and Arapahoe’s Ella Moynihan are the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmers of the Year. Courtesy photo Swimmer of the Year who will swim for Arizona next season, said defending her state titles was special.

“Proving to myself that it wasn’t a one-time situation was an amazing feeling,” she said.

“Especially this year, the competition was even more intense than last year so coming out on top was even better.”

Moynihan will be swimming at Notre Dame next season and agrees with her friend.

“It was pretty tricky because some of the best swimmers in the state were up north, so we didn’t see them until state,” Moynihan explained. “We’re not racing our biggest competition all season.”

Moynihan switched one of events her senior year. In addition to the 200 free, she competed in 500 free instead of the 100 free.

“I knew it would be a pretty big challenge to get both of them,” she said. “I don’t think it could have gone any better at the state meet.

Annie and I are really good friends.”

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL PREVIEW

Snow can pose mounds of trouble

South metro teams must work around the weather, often heading inside

According to the CHSAANow. com preseason poll, Cherry Creek was ranked third in Class 5A, with Legend fourth, ThunderRidge sixth and Mountain Vista 10th.

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com

In Class 4A, Valor Christian held down the third spot, with Ponderosa seventh.

March is typically the snowiest month in the Denver area. It’s also the start of the high school baseball season.

Late-February snowstorms that lingered into March had south metroarea baseball teams scrambling to find indoor facilities in which to practice.

Baseball is the spring sport that Mother Nature can hamper the most because it takes time to dry grass and dirt infields.

Most teams jostle for practice time in school gyms or rent sessions in several indoor training facilities like Slammers, Hit Streak, Bardo’s, Extra Innings, the Sandlot and the Sports Authority Bubble.

“Our biggest obstacle in Colorado is weather, especially early,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson.

Creek has been forced to schedule several workouts at Slammers in Centennial.

Legend has been going to Sports Authority twice a week in early March while waiting for its baseball field to become playable.

“Everybody is in the same boat,” said Legend coach Scott Fellers. “We can’t get time on the field like teams in Arizona who can be out every day of the week.”

Heritage coach Scott Horman has his players doing a variety of things, including shoveling.

“We do a number of things,” he explained. “We use an awesome facility called Extra Innings in Littleton. We work on defense in our gym, we lift and do a lot of classroom work. We will be shoveling to get ready for next week.”

Castle View coach Shawn Wyss admits it has been a challenge early this season to get his team prepared.

“Castle View practices in our gyms at the high school, and we also go to The Sandlot,” he said. “We have two cages that we set up in our small gym and do defensive and pitching work in the big gym.

“We spent hours moving snow to give us a chance to get outside. Mother Nature is in charge right now and hopefully she will be kind.”

Expenses can pile up for programs and players to use indoor facilities — just one of the problems bad weather causes.

Early season postponements and more storms in April could force teams into a stack of makeup games, which could affect the better south metro teams.

“I don’t remember a season that didn’t finish, that didn’t get done,” Cherry Creek’s Johnson said. “But sometimes that first week or two or three can be real tough weather wise.”

Event touts sports for girls Young women honored for their participation

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school athletes have higher gradepoint averages, better attendance, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems than non-athletes, statistics show.

Girls’ participation in high school sports nationally set a record in 2013-14, yet boys still outnumber them on the athletic field, and attendance at boys’ sporting events typically is higher than at girls’.

In the Douglas County School District, 6,500 female students participate in sports.

It’s a good number, but given the proven benefits of participation, district leaders would like to see it rise.

“We consider it to be an extension of our educational programming,” said Ann Orcutt, administrative assistant at DCSD’s activities, athletics and student leadership department.

In large part to encourage more female

participation in sports, the Douglas County School District and Douglas County Educational Foundation pay annual tribute to them. A total of 117 girls — 45 from DCSD high schools and 72 from its middle schools — were honored earlier this winter at the 10th annual Girls and Women in Sports Luncheon.

It coincided with the 29th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day, celebrated Feb. 4. The day began in 1987 in memory of Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman, who promoted equality for women’s sports.

Local students are invited to the lunch based on their athletic talent and participation, and student leadership.

“They’re all-around great kids and kind people,” Orcutt said.

The difference in the perception of male and female athletes isn’t lost on even young participants.

“This week, (our school was) doing a bunch of advertisements for boys basketball, and they haven’t done any advertisements for any other sport,” said Amanda Marlow, a volleyball player at Mountain Ridge Middle School who was among the

117 recognized. “I thought that was weird.”

“I like the competition in sports, how you have to work harder to get better,” said Emilee Sloan, another Mountain Ridge Middle School volleyball player and recent honoree. “But I think girls don’t get enough credit for doing sports.”

Marlow’s mother, Kim, who went to college on a volleyball scholarship, clearly sees how it benefits her daughter.

“I think it keeps her organized and helps her prioritize,” she said. “She has practice most days of the week and most Saturdays and Sundays. So she’s been a very, very busy kid. Yet she gets almost straight A’s in school.

“I think women’s athletics has come a long way. But I don’t know why we think men’s athletics are so exciting, why everybody wants to go see it and not necessarily women’s.”

The recent recognition and lunch reinforced many of the young participants’ belief in the value of sports.

“I felt pretty happy about myself that I worked hard and was a good teammate,” Sloan said. “It was cool to see all the other girls getting honored, too.”
