Learning the art of healthy living Health and Produce Fair gives out produce, advice on healthy living

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ ourcommunitynews.com Dressed up as the Tooth Fairy, Mikaila Skrbina attracted several kids to the Adventure Dental, Vision and Orthodontics booth at the Health and Produce Fair July 19.

As Skrbina interacted with the kids — giving them a teeth-cleaning demonstration and handing out toothpaste and toothbrushes

— her coworker, Vicky Garza, gave the adults an overview of the business.

“Not only do you get the parents in here learning, but the kids, too,” Garza said about the fair.

Since 2008, the Tri-County Health Department, Food Bank of The Rockies and host sites (Thornton, Denver, Jefferson County and Aurora) have conducted Health and Produce Fairs throughout the summer.

Thornton hosted the fair at the Church of God Seventh Day, 9375 Gaylord St. in Thornton, in July and will do so again from 9-11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 16. The goal is to inspire residents to make healthy decisions by educating them

about their health, presenting free cooking demonstrations and handing out free produce.

“Healthy lifestyles create healthy communities,” said Jaylin Stotler, Thornton’s community services coordinator. “Through implementing fun and interactive programming at our fairs, we are able to share not just health-related information, but also a memorable experience that encourages our attendees to continue healthy habits when they leave our fair.”

Stotler said fair organizers hope that by planting a vegetable as a seedling, attendees will be Healthy continues on Page 15

Man sues city, officers Northglenn resident was arrested for open-carrying firearm in theater last year

By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com The man who was arrested by Thornton police for openly carrying a firearm into a theater last year has filed a lawsuit against the city and 18 officers.

James Mapes, of Northglenn, maintains that Thornton officers violated his constitutional rights, falsely arrested him, negligently inflicted emotional distress, were negligently supervised and trained, and demonstrated outrageous conduct.

“This man was exercising his constitutional right, and they pulled him out of the theater and detained him,” said Robert Wareham, Mapes’ attorney. “If they can do it to James Mapes, they can do it to me, they can do it to you. What’s next? They can come into your homes. This goes to the founding of our country’s civil rights.”

According to the lawsuit, Mapes has frequented Cinebarre Theater in Thornton since 2004 and has worn his handgun to the theater either in accordance with his concealed-weapon permit or as open carry in the summertime.

On July 29, 2012, 12 days after the mass shooting at an Aurora movie theater that resulted in 12 deaths and dozens injured, Mapes went to Cinebarre for a 10 p.m. show and was open-carrying his handgun.

Twenty minutes into the movie, the movie stopped and the lights were turned on.

Someone in the audience said someone called her on her cell phone to tell her that police were outside the theater because someone brought a gun inside. “(Mapes) realized the police were likely called because of him, so he informed the people remaining in the theater he was in that he would go speak to them and clear up the misunderstanding, while reassuring them he had a permit,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also says that when he stepped outside the theater, police order Mapes to his knees at gunpoint; he was handcuffed, escorted outside with a police dog at his heels and detained for more than POSTAL ADDRESS

Medical experts to testify in Sigg trial

James Mapes of Northglenn was arrested last year after open-carrying a firearm into this Cinebarre Theater in Thornton. He is now suing the city of Thornton and 18 police officers for false arrest. Photo by Tammy Kranz four hours for interrogation.

The city’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges so the police could file the charges with the county, however, the district attorney said in an Aug. 30 letter that there was insufficient evidence to prove Mapes violated any laws.

Mapes claims he has suffered emotional trauma, embarrassment, humiliation, harassment, financial strain, fear of losing his employment and potential effect on future employment, back pain from being handcuffed and seated in the police vehicle, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Wareham pointed out that on the same night as the Aurora shooting, Mapes was at the Cinebarre and was detained briefly out-

side by police as they checked out his permit to carry a firearm.

“This tells us Thornton knows how to do it right, and the officers that night (July 29, 2012) either were not properly trained or supervised or they were operating on emotion,” Wareham said.

The city of Thornton will never comment on pending litigation, said the city’s communications manager ,Todd Barnes.

Wareham said it is possible this could be a costly lawsuit for the city to fight because each of the 18 defendants would probably need independent legal counsel since they have competing interests.

The lawsuit was filed with the Adams County District Court on July 29.

Coloradans key in fixing immigration It’s not often we witness Colorado’s high-tech innovators, third-generation farmers, prominent business executives, traditional faith leaders, aspiring young immigrants and leading law enforcement officials uniting behind a common cause.

It is even less likely in Washington, D.C., for Republicans and Democrats from across the nation to come together to tackle a complex national crisis and write a landmark bill with bipartisan support.

The long and tireless work of these unlikely allies culminated in the immigration bill the United States Senate passed with a broad, bipartisan vote earlier this summer.

The bill will strengthen our economy and secure our borders.

It will establish a sensible and rational system for the flow of future immigrants, put in place a process to reunite families and provide a tough but fair path to citizenship for millions of people who came to this country for a better life but are living in the shadows of our society.

The long road to Senate passage began for our office roughly two years ago with the Colorado Compact. We brought together people from throughout the state

of different backgrounds, industries and perspectives to talk about the challenges of the current immigration system. Every member of this diverse coalition shared their frustration with our current immigration system and said that it was fundamentally broken.

Traveling around Colorado you’ll see these frustrations exemplified.

Farmers on the Western Slopes and Eastern Plains watch their crops wither on the vines because they can’t hire the workers they need to harvest them. Ski resorts and our tourism industry struggle with an unworkable system for their seasonal workers.

Start-up and high-tech business own-

Man confessed to killing two teens Staff Report A man was arrested after confessing to killing two missing juveniles.

On Aug. 10, the Adams County Sheriff’s office conducted an investigation that led them to William Otto, 43, who stated he had killed teenagers Jonathan Gonzales and Danny Espinoza, and then had taken their

bodies to an area in Sedgwick.

According to law enforcement, Otto gave detectives specific directions to locate the buried bodies. Deputies from the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office located the bodies and exhumed them from the ground.

There are no other suspects at this time, and this is an ongoing investigation.

ers watch as we educate the world’s best and brightest in our schools of higher ed and graduate programs only to send them back to their own countries, where we then spend the next 20 years competing against them for the ideas and intellectual property our schools help instill in them.

The Senate immigration bill streamlines the visa system and aligns it with the needs of our businesses, while still protecting American workers and jobs.

Our flawed system has also left 11 million people in the shadows with few options and no opportunity.

That’s bad for our economy as Americans try to compete with undocumented workers who are often paid under the table, driving salaries down. It’s also bad for families, when parents live in fear of being deported and separated from their American-born kids.

The tough but fair path to citizenship in the Senate bill provides a sensible solution. Undocumented immigrants must pay taxes, pay a fine, learn English and stay out of trouble with the law to access this path, which can’t be completed until the bill’s

border security measures are in place.

The border security measures were crafted under the leadership of Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake, Republicans from Arizona. If anyone knows a thing or two about what it’s like to live next to a border, and what border security our nation needs, it’s these two. The border security measures include unprecedented steps to make our borders stronger than ever: doubling the number of border agents, completing 700 miles of fencing and adding new technology to provide 100 percent surveillance. As a member of the group of eight lawmakers who drafted this bill, I am grateful for the input and feedback Coloradans gave us during the process. We came together to fix a broken system and address one of our nation’s major challenges. Now, we’re on the doorstep of success; Colorado needs the House of Representatives to take action and pass a bill so we can solve these problems for our economy and our communities.

Michael Bennet is a Democrat who has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Modern day fire dogs provide therapy, education Arvada Fire’s Molly and Rescue have become canine mascots of crews

By Sara Van Cleve

svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com Long gone are the days when firehouse dogs ran alongside horses pulling a fire department’s wagon, but the tradition of four-legged comrades remains.

Molly and Rescue, two modern-day fire station dogs with the Arvada Fire Protection District, make their homes at Station 2, 5250 Oak St., and Station 5, 8100 Vance Dr., Lending a respectively.

Molly, who is about 3, was Arvada Fire’s first station dog and moved into the new Station 2 shortly after the crews helping paw did. She was adopted by Arvada Fire from Second Chance Jack Animal Rescue in Golden.

“It’s a great opportunity,” said Arvada Fire Lt. Matt Berland. “Not only are you helping the dog, but the dog is helping you.”

Rescue, who is about 1, was originally sought by Urban Search and Rescue (USAR). He was chosen from an animal rescue to be trained as a search dog, but it was discovered that he uses sight to search instead of scent, so he was not the right candidate for USAR. While Molly and Rescue don’t fulfill the same duties as traditional firehouse dogs, they still play an important role, both at the station and away.

“In the house, they do a lot for all of us,” said firefighter Mike Durr, who has shifts at both Station 2 and 5. “They’re there to comfort you if you’re having a bad day, and they bring the house closer together.”

Molly’s therapeutic instinct goes beyond her firefighting comrades, too.

The entire Station 5 crew helps care for Rescue, but firefighter Todd Paicurich is one of his main caregivers. Though Rescue is still a puppy, firefighters are working on training him to be able to crawl low so he can help teach children about crawling under smoke in a fire and other fire safety. Photo by Sara Van Cleve “I’ve picked her up a few times when I’m working with youth that have been involved with fire play and using fire inappropriately, and we spend time having some hard conversations. I have the kids sit on the floor, and she’ll lay down with them and let them pet her,” said Arvada Fire life-safety educator Deanna Harrington. “It’s very comforting for them. I foresee her being a therapy dog, but not in the way people normally see a therapy dog.”

Molly recently received her Canine Good Citizen certificate from the American Kennel Club. The certification shows that Molly has basic skills and manners, isn’t aggressive, can be handled by her

handlers and can go into public places, such as Jefferson County Public Schools for educational purposes.

Harrington said Rescue will pursue his certification when he is older.

Rescue is being trained by his firefighters to do tricks such as crawl to help teach children about fire safety.

“We want him to be something kids can recognize and be comfortable with,” said Lt. Dave Matus “We’d like to see him be able to crawl so we can teach kids how to crawl low under smoke and do those kind of things with them. He’ll be a working dog and be there to help teach kids and help them come out of their shells.”

Having Rescue and Molly available to

help teach people is a real benefit, Matus said.

“A lot of time people can’t communicate really well, and you need something different,” Matus said. “If I have to talk to somebody and just can’t get through to them, there has to be another way. We can bring Rescue into it, and he can put people at ease and it’s a different way to communicate.”

Much like Molly, Rescue also provides a sort of therapy for the crews.

“That dog is never in a bad mood,” he said. “He never really gets angry, he just likes being around here,” Matus said. “If you really wanted to and had the energy, he’d go all day long. He has tennis balls, and we’ll throw it to the other end. I’ve done it as long as 25 minutes, and then I had to go get things done, but he’s still going.”

Both Rescue and Molly also attend public events with Arvada Fire.

“They’re a magnet,” Harrington said.

“Everyone comes to see them.”

They even get to ride in the fire engine to events, and they love it, Harrington said.

While Molly and Rescue may not respond to calls, they’ve become part of the crew.

“The crews get together every morning to do a pass-off, and all the stations can see each other on the TV,” Harrington said.

“They sit in their chairs, and Molly has a chair. She always joins them. There isn’t a morning she’ll miss.”

Molly has even become somewhat of the mascot for Arvada Fire, even having her own Facebook page where Arvada Fire posts animal and pet safety tips.

Molly has been with Arvada Fire two years this November; Rescue has been part of the crew since last winter.

Both dogs be seen at various public events where Arvada Fire is present.

Skyview: More than school buildings Campus houses learning facilities, community resources

By Tammy Kranz

tammyk@ourcommunitynews.com Editor’s Note: This is the second story in a three-part series highlighting the overhaul of the Skyview Campus and what it offers the community. Next week, read about what is on the horizon for Mapleton Public Schools.

With modern-looking buildings, sports fields and a stadium, the 35-acre campus at 88th Avenue and York Street in Thornton looks like a small college.

It is far different than how it appeared two years ago, before the Mapleton Public Schools’ Skyview Campus underwent its renovation and expansion.

“The overhaul of the Skyview High School building — formerly Highland High School — was necessary,” said Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio. “The original building was built for the educational programs designed in the 1960s, with building mate-

Mapleton:

Reform-driven Reinvention

rials that met the demands for that era. The new buildings provide state-of-the-art facilities that take 21st-century teaching and learning into more appropriately designed classrooms and learning spaces.”

The expansion included constructing two buildings that house two schools each — Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts (grades 7-12) and Mapleton Early College (9-12) in one building, and the Academy High School (9-12) and Clayton Partnership School (K-8) in the other building.

The overhaul also included an addition to the North Valley School for Young Adults and construction of a community library.

The classroom wing of the original Skyview building was demolished to make room for new soccer and baseball fields.

The rest of the building, including the au-

ditorium, gymnasium and welcome center, was renovated and upgraded.

Voters approved funding in November 2010 to match a $32 million grant from the state for the overhaul. Most of the work was finished by August 2012, in time for students to begin their 2012-13 school year there.

Ciancio said the district’s role is to build relationships with the community, and that is apparent at the Skyview Campus, which is home to a community library, community garden and a food bank.

“We recognize that the facilities across the school district are the assets of the community we serve,” she said. “We strive to provide resources that not only our students, but their families can take advantage of, and that allow opportunities for our students and staff to engage with community members.”

Anythink Libraries closed its Washington Street location April 12 and moved its staff and materials to the new Anythink York building on the Skyview Campus. The new 9,388-square-foot library opened in

June.

At the new library, patrons have access to more computers, stronger Internet bandwidth and a slightly larger book collection, and it will be open on Saturdays.

Anythink Library Director Pam Sandlian Smith said because it is located on a school campus, the York library has more opportunity to grow programs in ways the district can’t at its other library locations.

“We don’t have a 700-seat auditorium anywhere else,” she said of the Rosa Auditorium at Skyview. “Also, they have a commercial kitchen.

We’re thinking about maybe doing some cooking classes. There are opportunities ahead, and we’ll be able to expand our services and programs.”

The community garden is operated by the district and community members. It has 42 plots, half of which are designated for students. The food bank moved onto the Skyview Campus two years ago. It is housed in the district’s former vocational/ tech building, which is adjacent to the community garden.

Skyview CampuS Community Gardens

Mapleton Public Schools Community Garden at Skyview Campus is in its second year of operation. The garden is operated by the district and community members.

Half of its 42 plots are designated for students.

“Our community garden at the Skyview Campus provides our students with hands-on learning experiences and opportunities for collaboration, while also helping them to give back to the community,” said Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio.

Food Bank

The Thornton Community Food Bank moved onto the Skyview Campus two years ago. It is housed in the district’s former vocational/tech building, which is adjacent to the community garden. The food bank provides free emergency food assistance to those in need. The bank serves the community between 58th Avenue on the south and 104th Avenue on the north; Interstate 25 on the west and the Platte River on the east.

Library

Anythink Libraries closed its Washington Street location April 12 and moved its staff and materials to the new Anythink York building on the Skyview Campus.

The new 9,388-square-foot library opened in June.

“This partnership with Anythink Libraries is so unique,” said Charlotte Ciancio, Mapleton’s superintendent. “It will make it possible for us to bring muchneeded resources to the heart of the Thornton community. Like

Mapleton, Anythink is rooted in bringing engaging, educational opportunities to families that will inspire a love of learning.”

North Valley School for Young Adults

North Valley offers students ages 17-21 an opportunity to get back on track and earn a high school diploma. Students create Personalized Learning Plans based on their existing credits, learning style and skill level. This plan helps each student recover the credits and skills they need to graduate. Using a variety of classroom instruction, including college partnerships, online learning and direct teacher instruction, students receive the support they need to be successful.

Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts

Mapleton Expeditionary School of Arts (MESA) is a 7th12th grade college preparatory school. Students investigate realworld issues and use what they learn to make positive change in their community. MESA’s classrooms are specifically designed to support expeditionary learning through the use of art spaces, presentation areas, and “DaVinci Studios” — spaces outside of classrooms that encourage group work and collaboration between art, science, math and humanities classes.

Mapleton Early College

Mapleton Early College (MEC) is a combination of two high school models: Big Picture Learning and Early College. Students learn in a college-preparatory environment, balancing classes, in-

dependent project-based learning and real-world learning through professional internships. Students also have access to college courses and have the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree concurrent to their high school studies. All students create an individualized learning plan based on their interests.

Clayton Partnership School

Clayton is a K-8 school whose placement on Mapleton’s multi-

age Skyview Campus environment prepares students for their future by promoting complex thinking and ideas, collaboration across age groups and introducing them to the opportunities that await them as they continue their education in Mapleton. Clayton’s building is designed specifically to enhance learning objectives and provide versatile, 21st Century learning spaces and supports a variety of learning styles and teaching techniques.

Academy High School

At Academy High School students develop powerful problemsolving and critical thinking skills through coursework that exposes them to challenging engineering and biomedical courses. Students work to master core subjects with emphasis on science, technology, math and engineering. Students are encouraged to research, learn and apply new material through hands-on projects, activities, and problem-based learning.

Gearing up for Cabela’s opening Ants help kids

Is 47 a special number in your life? Sports fans will remember baseball greats Jack Morris and Tom Glavine, and football superstars Mel Blount and our own Denver Bronco John Lynch, as proud owners of the number 47 on their jerseys.

It also happens to be a special number in Thornton and the north metro area. The new Cabela’s Thornton store is the “World’s Foremost Outfitwent ter’s” 47th store nationwide. s The greater Denver area can give itself a high five of pride and significance for having two brand new Cabela’s stores opening on the same day, Aug. 15, at 11 a.m. Cabela’s store number 46 will open doors in Lone Tree as Thornton welcomes number 47 just south of 144th on the east side of I-25.

Cabela’s success is reflected in its growth and expansion, averaging 15 new openings annually. Stores range in size from 90,000 square feet to 240,000 square feet, depending on the region and size of the market and service area. This business all started in a Nebraska kitchen back in 1961.

Retail operations manager Tim Ells and retail events specialist Sarah Prout, and their team of nearly 250 new local Cabela’s employees were busy prepping the 90,000-square-foot Thornton store for grand

opening.

“We have a lot to offer, and we are about all that is outdoors,” Prout said, “and we welcome experienced outdoors people and families as well as those who are just starting to explore and venture into the outdoors.”

Prout also described Cabela’s focus on building relationships and partnerships: “Relationships with our customers and our communities are an essential part of how we serve and function. Equally important is our support of and interaction with conservation, hunting and fishing organizations.”

The store proudly displays the large and varied number of local and national organizations that promote, educate and provide opportunities for the public to enjoy the outdoors world. One of the key partners is the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Division.

“These partnerships increase our collective abilities to help customers learn, experience and enjoy the many outdoors experiences,” Prout said.

The store’s “Dollar Roundup” Program is one way Cabela’s financially supports local and national outdoors organizations.

“We invite customers to “Round Up” their purchase payment from say, $20.65 to $21, and Cabela’s contributes that 35 cents to the members of the partnerships.

The store provides an archery range to allow purchasers of archery equipment to try out equipment before buying.

The Gun Library holds treasured sporting arms of all categories and historical periods. The store provides in-house archery service and repairs, and outsources gunsmith services for customers.

The Cabela’s “Ambassadors,” who are experts in all phases of hunting and fishing, bring customers and outdoors adventures together under roof with seminars, workshops and planned field trips.

The Aug. 15 opening will include presentations by the Ambassadors who will highlight their specialties.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff will team with the Cabela’s experts in seminars and workshops.

Regardless of one’s style, or site to hunt or fish or camp, this store and staff will fill those needs. And yes, anglers and hunters, there is a Bergin Cave in the new store.

Customers will be visually treated to the finest of impressive and well-placed game animal and bird displays. Exhibits can be seen at eye level and attractively placed on higher shelves, plus gathered into a realis-

tic mountain scene at the end of the main entrance walkway.

Cabela’s will be introducing cutting-edge technology in its new and exclusive “Zone” camouflage.

“Zone” changes shades of color and blends with changing light intensity and heat. The new Zone is found on all Cabela’s brand outdoor clothing displayed in the store.

The north metro area’s list of outdoors suppliers has grown significantly richer. With Cabela’s joining Sportsmen’s Warehouse, Gander Mountain, Sports Authority, Dicks Sporting Goods, along with a mix of smaller sportinggoods outlets such as Big 5 and Bait N Bullet, there has to be a product for any sportsman’s needs.

What started as a small mail-order business by Brothers Dick and Jim in 1961, selling fishing flies — some they bought in Chicago, some they made themselves in the small Nebraska town of Chappell — expanded in 1969 to what has become the Cabela’s national headquarters in Sydney, Neb. And today if you fish, hunt, four-wheel, camp or simply scope or photograph the outdoors, you know Cabela’s.

Welcome Dick, Jim and Mary to Thornton and north metro Denver.

become scientists Ants are perfect science study material for children with the natural instincts of researchers. Young children have curiosity; like to observe, predict, experiment, collect and sort into categories; and report by talking and drawing.

What To Do:

Make a plastic science kit filled with a notepad, pencil, magnifying glass, crayons, tweezers, fork, spoon and small collection containers.

Count anthills around your home. Their nests have many entries. Are there some with entry holes bigger than others? Scuff up a few anthills and check them the next day. Did the worker ants rebuild or make a new one nearby?

Check under rocks or logs.

Ants are insects always on the move. Unless you find a large black carpenter ant, you might want to check out Google ant images to help children draw a picture. Use circles and ovals to draw a head with eyes, mandibles (jaws), antennae, thorax, abdomen and six legs.

While drawing, mention a few facts. North America has 1,000 different kinds of ants, and their anthills can be 4 yards deep. Ants often bite when disturbed, so use a stick to pick them up.

They have acid venom.

Nest chambers hold eggs, larvae, pupa, and

adults (four stages); the queen; food and garbage.

Majors (old ants), minors, and minims, plus captured servants, are different colors. Ants with wings (kings and queens) usually appear in spring and have a marriage flight; then, most die.

Queens will find a place to build a new nest and raise 2,000-10,000 female workers.

If ants were people, they could travel 16 yards in two blinks of an eye. Measure that out and let children run. How many seconds does it take them?

What Do Ants Eat?

One morning, place a tin foil plate with small circles of watered honey, sugar, milk, meat, cheese and candy next to an active anthill. Check the plate in the evening. What did they take? Can you find a procession of ants? What happens when ants encounter aphids? There are many stories about ants, including ” The Ant and the Grasshopper” fable.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Circumstances change, but character shouldn’t Stuff happens, right? I mean, when we least expect change, it happens.

Sometimes we are caught off-guard by awesome and wonderfully unexpected good news. And when that does happen, we never really have to worry about how we respond or react because in most cases we are smiling and enjoying the moment.

And then there are those other times, when we least expect it, that our world gets turned upside-down in a flash. Have you ever been there, cruising along based on plans, commitments and expectations, and then all of sudden … WHAM … right between the eyes we get hit with a curve ball? Stuff happens, and it happens to all of us at some time or another. The difference is how we actually respond to the immediate shift in our course.

Our character can be found in how we respond when faced with challenges or changes, especially when they come upon us out of the blue. If you have ever been faced with a sudden change or shift, or

maybe even if you are experiencing it right now, I want to share a simple philosophy with you that may help. I call this the “Cadence of Change,” and the “cadence” acronym stands for: Communication goes both ways, and in times of change we need to make sure we have expressed ourselves clearly and that we understand what is being shared; miscommunication often makes change worse. Authority means we have to stay in control; we are in charge of how we respond or react. If we allow other people or

circumstances to dictate how the changes surrounding us impact our demeanor, we will never be in a position to maintain control. Decisions or lack of decisions often leave us paralyzed, and instead of taking action, we leave the decisions to others and again find ourselves being directed or driven by the motives of someone else. In times of change, it is critical to be in control of our own decisions.

Expectations properly set are expectations that have a better chance of being realized. Many times our emotions and subsequent actions or reactions stem from misleading ourselves from the beginning.

Stretching ourselves through dreams and goals are awesome, and realistic expectations are the foundation that ground us during times of change.

New Paradigm — The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. All of us should be open and willing to think differently and see things through objec-

tive and productive eyes, instead of being anchored to the past.

Character means that whatever happens, we handle ourselves in a respectful way, never yielding or compromising who we are to the circumstances that surround us as the craziness of change happens.

Excellence — In times of change and growth, the watchword should be excellence. If we strive for perfection we will often miss the mark, but when we pursue excellence we will impact change, truly impact change for the better.

How is your cadence when it comes to change? The world is constantly changing, and I would love to hear all about how you handle it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when your “Cadence of Change” improves, it will really be a better than good week.

Fall is in the air What is your favorite QUESTION OF THE WEEK

ride at Water World?

Bringing in thousands of people from all over the country, even the world, Water World in Federal Heights is a top destination for many families during the summer. We headed out to the 67-acre park to find out which attraction ranked highest.

I grew up in Florida, so I would have to say that my favorite is the Voyage to the Center of the Earth because you get to go fast and then slow down to enjoy the scenery.

Jenni Larmore

For me it’s the Zoomerang because it looks like it’s the scariest, but really is the most fun.

Dillon Rodenbaugh

I haven’t been on this one yet, but I think my favorite will end up being the Mile High Flyer because it looks like a lot of fun.

Michelle Koskovich

My favorite ride is probably Voyage to the Center of the Earth because I really like how it’s long and worth the wait, plus there is great scenery along the way.

The calendar may say it’s August and summer, but we all know it’s fall, September, school and football.

Speaking of School

The kids were barely into the first part of summer when the retailers began running “back to school” ads. It’s especially disgusting to see merchants who don’t even have true “back to school” stuff advertise mattresses and furniture. Yes, they tell us people are on a buying frenzy, but I think it’s because the stores are pushing their merchandise all year long.

So, folks, let’s not think about school supplies because lots of charities are filling backpacks with supplies, but let’s concentrate on school safety.

When a school bus stops with its red lights on and stop sign out, it means STOP. Don’t go around the stopped bus.

And if you see anyone lurking around the school, you need to immediately report that to the school officials. Remember, there are lots of perverts who prey on our little kids.

And no matter how many times we warn children not to talk with strangers, they will still be enticed by a puppy or other things kids like.

in our front lawn and the leafy spurge is everywhere.

My dad was the Stearns County weed inspector in Minnesota, so I can identify such weeds as milkweed, goldenrod, pigweed and many others. Dad said leafy spurge is the worst, as it can propagate with just one little leaf. Unfortunately, in putting Round-Up on these noxious plants, I also killed the grass along the sidewalk. Guess I should have used Weed-BeGone instead.

Other Fall Happenings

Quote of the Week

Of course we know it’s fall, the Broncos are playing, the Rockies are flailing and Sakata sweet corn is at your local Safeway. Yes, I know about King Soopers and Olathe corn, but Sakata is by far the best.

The Geese are Flying The northern geese are again in their flyway pattern (like right over our car), and it’s nice to see the big, V-shaped flocks of them traveling to their warm water at Hidden Lake and Lake Arbor.

Weeds, Weeds and More Weeds

Welcome Fall

So, it’s time for red chili, meat loaf and zucchini bread given to us by neighbors who grow lots of zucchini. Of course, we’re happy to receive some good bread.

Stars compelled in different ways by ‘The Conjuring’

By Tim Lammers A mainstay in Hollywood for the past 25 years, acclaimed actor Lili Taylor has had enough experiences to know that it’s not too often a film works on all levels.

But Taylor has no doubts about her latest project, the horror thriller “The Conjuring,” even though director James Wan puts her character, Carolyn Perron, through the ringer both mentally and physically.

“I had a blast, and it doesn’t happen a lot, where the experience is great and the movie is just as great,” Taylor told me in an interview Wednesday. “They’re really few and far between, and I’m just soaking it up because I think James is so talented and everybody was at the top of their game. Everybody was collaborating so beautifully.”

Now playing in theaters nationwide, the film chronicles the details of a previously untold case by famed real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren — the same couple who a few years after the events of “The Conjuring” explored what would become known as “The Amityville Horror.”

Set in 1971, “The Conjuring” tells how the Warrens (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) helped out the Perron family — Carolyn (Taylor), Roger (Ron Livingston) and their five daughters — who encountered dark forces after they moved into an old farmhouse in Harrisville, Pa. While the film is based on a true story, Taylor, 46, said she didn’t let the details of the role freak her out — even though Carolyn fell under the spell of demonic possession.

Taylor did admit, though, that some of the research she did was unnerving, particularly YouTube videos of purported exorcisms, but it was a necessary evil — so to speak — to get into the head of a possessed person.

“I needed to know more about exorcisms, and physically what happens, vocally what happens. I needed to know what exactly these people went through,” Taylor said.

Despite the research, Taylor said, she’s still skeptical about the idea of possession.

“I still would send the subject to a psy-

chiatrist first instead of a priest,” Taylor said.

“I would go the psychiatric route before I’d go the Vatican route.”

No matter her personal feelings, there’s no question Taylor’s depiction of possession is frighteningly real. Knowing viewers would be apt to compare her performance to Linda Blair’s horrifying portrayal of Regan MacNeil in “The Exorcist,” Taylor and Wan decided it was best to distance themselves from the iconic film as much as they could and interpret the possession in their own way.

“I love ‘The Exorcist’ and watch it once a year, so I know the movie quite well,” Taylor said. “But James and I made a conscious decision together to do it different. What I liked, though, is that James wanted to be different not for the sake of being different, which wouldn’t have had much meaning.

There was really meaning behind what he was doing.

Another big difference between “The Conjuring” and “The Exorcist,” Taylor added, was the actual level of the possession.

“In ‘The Exorcist,’ Regan was totally

gone. The devil had totally taken over her,” Taylor said. “Carolyn was still there, just a little bit, and that made a big difference.

That way I could play with a minor battle inside. I didn’t want to get into Latin or that really scary voice in ‘The Exorcist’ — the most evil voice you could imagine — but I still did a voice that seemed to be common denominator with all the videos I watched doing research.”

The Real Deal

While films about hauntings and demonic possession are nothing new in cinema — and the subject matter is particularly over-exploited on reality TV shows — Wilson told me in a separate interview that he feels audiences will feel refreshed by the story of the Warrens in “The Conjuring” because the couple took an interest in the field when it wasn’t exactly fashionable.

“The thing I kept going back to in this was the fact that the Warrens started doing this in the ’60s — a long, long time ago in terms of TV and the technology, where there

were no shows about it and there was so little known about it,” Wilson said.

Plus, he added, their motives were much different from what you see with the socalled paranormal investigators nowadays, even though their most famous case was met with skepticism.

“In my opinion, which is a very strong one, they came about it from a very honest place of wanting to help people,” Wilson said. “They were devout Catholics who really felt that there was this underbelly of evil, and if they could help people, they were of service — even when Amityville came out, which put them in the national spotlight.

But like with anything, any success is going to bring a lot of backlash.”

Next up to the plate “Because the good old days weren’t always good, and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems...”

--Billy Joel This is a fun time of year around the high schools in the area. No matter where you look — the gym, the football field, the band room, even the faculty lounge — there is a sense of anticipation and excitement regarding the upcoming seasons. And, since nobody’s had any official anythings yet, the feeling that anything is possible is still intact.

But, mingled with that, often you’ll get a sense of disappointment or emptiness.

Some few of the players/teachers will look around at their new “teams” and come to the conclusion there’s no way they’ll ever be as good as they were last year (or the year before, or whenever the last successful season was). I always used to run into the feeling from students that “Bobby was so good last year, there’s no way we can replace him.”

Funny thing is, it was often my experience that “Bobby” said many of the same things at one point in his career.

We humans have a pretty amazing filmediting system in our brains, such that we tend to remember things as being better than they really were.

And that’s understandable; it’s just a matter of perspective.

When you’re new to something, like being a freshman on the varsity team, everything you’re experiencing is new and challenging, and the people who have been around it for a while seem to be in a whole different league. So, as humans, we tend to glorify these people a bit more than perhaps they deserve, and our memories solidify in our brains the idea that these people are exceptional.

I’ll bet anybody out there’s who’s feeling that way about their group going into this year would change their minds if they could see themselves through the eyes of this years’ rookies.

They’re looking at you — yes, YOU — as the person who is going to replace the mythical “Bobby.”

Pretty daunting, huh? No, not much responsibility or anything ...

The thing is, the really great teams/performers always have people who are ready, willing and excited to step into that role.

When a group is really cooking, a bunch of people show up the first day saying, “It’s MY turn now!”; groups that are iffy have a lot of pining for “Bobby.” If you want to know which teams are going to compete for championships year in and year out, that attitude is one of the real indicators.

And it’s not just in high school activities that you get that dynamic. There’s a reason, I suppose, that Apple computers had to bring Steve Jobs back to run things after they fired him. Nobody stepped in to fill his shoes. And the Republicans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan for, like, 27 years.

There’s something very sad about people who get too focused on how great things used to be. The reality is, they were only that great because somebody stood up when it was their turn and did things right.

So, the question we all face, as the days shorten and the calendars turn, is this: is it my turn, and am I ready to do the job?

Greg Shelton and Ashley Battles will perform their aerobatic show during the annual Rocky Mountain Airshow this weekend in Broomfield. Courtesy photo

Taking to the skies Event features various aircraft, hot air balloons, rocket launch

By Tammy Kranz

B

ob Carlton will fly the same sailplane at the Rocky Mountain Airshow this weekend that he started flying 20 years ago … but with some modifications.

His sailplane, the Super Salto, is powered by a military-grade, 225-pound-thrust jet engine.

“It’s the same ol’ girl but with attitude now,” Carlton said with a chuckle.

The Super Salto will give its first performance Friday evening during the Twilight Air Show, which begins at 6 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, 11755 Airport Way in Broomfield.

This show includes pyrotechnics IF YOU GO and is followed by the Balloon Illum WHAT: The Rocky Mountain — which kicks off the second annual Airshow Rocky Mountain Balloon Fest.

During the Illum, the hot air balWHERE: Rocky Mountain loons will inflate at 8 p.m. and glow Metropolitan Airport, 11755 as the sun sets behind the mounAirport Way, Broomfield tains.

WHEN: Friday-Sunday, Aug. The Super Salto will also perform 16-18 Saturday and Sunday during daylight hours.

INFORmATION: online at “It’s a very unique act,” Carlton www.rmairshow.com said. “I start out high, doing soft, aerial ballet. Then, when I get down lower, I turn up the music and do low-level, jet-powered maneuvers.”

This year the three-day event will debut several new attractions, including the first and only FAA-sanctioned high-power sport-rocket launch at a civilian airshow.

The launch of the nearly 17-foot-tall rocket will take place at noon Saturday.

The sport rocket will accelerate from 0 to 300 miles per hour in 5 seconds and reach an altitude of 4,700 feet.

“We work hard year round to bring the best aviation experience possible to our great fans,” said Scott McMillan, airshow director.

“This year will feature the easiest access, rarest performances and some great surprises you won’t see anywhere else.”

Another first this year is the appearance of FIFI — a World War II B-29 Superfortress that will be flying and offering flights to the public for a fee.

New this year, also, is the live onboard aircraft HD video coverage that will be on display on giant LED screens. The screens will feature interviews with the performers and a look inside the cockpit.

“We will be bringing some of the most sought-after aerobatic performers to Denver this year,” McMillan said.

Some of the performers include Matt Younkin, Greg Shelton and Ashley Battles, Trojan Phlyers Demo Team, Matt Tanner,

One Trader Joe’s coming to Colorado was fantastic news for this California girl.

Two put me over the moon, especially since it was announced No. 2 would be located on Eighth and Colorado, near my Capitol Hill abode.

Now, the California-based specialty grocery store I grew up on is adding a third store in Greenwood Village.

The Denver Post reported Trader Joe’s has signed a lease at the Cherry Hills Marketplace at 5901 S. University Blvd., at the intersection with East Orchard Road.

The first two stores — in Denver and on Boulder’s Twenty-Ninth Street mall — are scheduled to open in 2014, as will the Greenwood Village store.

Off the air

Bertha Lynn has been one of my favorite on-air personalities since I arrived in Denver in 1993. She is the sweetest, most generous human being.

Now that she’s leaving Denver’s 7, viewers from Golden to Highlands Ranch and Westminster to Littleton are losing a truly wonderful asset on the air. But good for her! She’s been able to reinvent herself in a new occupation.

After reporting the news for more than 30 years for KMGH-Channel 7, Lynn is leaving the newsroom to become executive director of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation in Denver.

“I’m writing a new chapter,” Lynn said via email. “I’m so grateful to my past and present colleagues. I’ve loved bringing home the news to the people of Colorado since 1976, and now I’m ready to apply, in a different arena, the skills I’ve learned as a communicator and in the boardrooms of the many nonprofit organizations I’ve served over the years. I’ll be working with a wonderful group of people at a respected organization. I’m thrilled!”

In a 7News press release, Lynn said, “To be tapped by Barbara Davis and the Board of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation to carry on their work helping sick children is a dream come true — allowing me to meet new challenges while continuing to serve in Colorado. The people of Denver and Colorado have been very kind and generous to me as they watched me grow up. Colorado remains my home, and I look forward to engaging with the community for even greater support in our battle against life-threatening diabetes.”

7News news director Jeff Harris said Lynn’s “career at 7News is an inspiration to so many. But, more than anything else, Bertha has worked tirelessly to improve our community. For this, we are grateful and not a bit surprised in her decision to lead this wonderful organization.”

Lynn, one of Denver’s most recognized and honored broadcast journalists, has been reporting news to Coloradans since 1976 when she began with KBTV (now KUSA-Channel 9) as an anchor and reporter. In 1984, she moved to 7News where she has anchored and reported for nearly every station newscast. Lynn signed off Aug. 9 in her final 7News telecast.

We’ll miss her and wish her much success.

Rocky Flats museum moves again

If you grew up during the Cold War era, you remember — and probably appreciate — the history of that time.

Part of that is encapsulated in the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum in Arvada, which moved to a new space on July 1.

The museum, which held its first exhibition in 2012, moved to the lobby space of the Jehn Center, 5690 Webster St. after being housed at the old Arvada Post Office building on Yukon Street.

In 2001, a nonprofit foundation was dedicated to preserving the history of the former nuclear weapons plant.

Rocky Flats produced more than 60,000 plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons from 1952-1989. A Superfund cleanup of the 6,200-acre site and 800 structures began in 1995. In 2007, most of the site became a national wildlife refuge.

Rocky Flats Cold War Museum executive director Conny Bogaard says the museum hopes to find a permanent

can fill it up with free produce. There are no income or residential requirements to participate.

Some of the booths at the fair include North Suburban Medical Center, which will have safety games for kids and health screenings and advice for adults; Thornton Recreation, which will have a fitness test; Tri-County Health Department, which will provide info on programs and services, and hand out fruit flavored water; Thornton Fire Department, which will fit people for helmets and give them away; Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which will have a Planet Fitness station; and Community Enterprise, which will hand out samples of smoothies.

Stotler said that each event draws an average of 400 people.

The judge also ruled that statements made by Sigg and his mother over the phone when the mother called police will be admissible during the trial.

Jury summonses were sent out the week of the hearing, and jury questionnaires will begin Sept. 20. Opening statements in the trial are scheduled to begin Oct. 3.

The trial date for the Ketner Lake case was also set during the hearing and is scheduled for Jan. 13.

Sigg’s next court appearance is Aug. 29. If convicted, he faces life in prison with a possibility of parole after 40 years.

He faces 17 charges, including murder and sexual assault.

Legacy looks to capture sixth title Softball team has high hopes in 2013 season

By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Dawn Gaffin has been the Legacy softball coach since the program started 13 years ago. Over a decade, Gaffin has built a program that has 10 playoff appearances, including one Great Eight finish and one Final Four finish.

What’s even more impressive is that during Gaffin’s tenure, the program has won five consecutive state tournaments, from 2007 to 2011.

Additionally, every senior who has graduated from the program at the varsity level since 2004 has gone on to play softball at the collegiate level.

But Gaffin doesn’t give herself all of the credit. She said the players have skill and so do the coaches.

“I’ve had a lot of talent that has gone through the program,” Gaffin said. “We work very hard during the offseason, which has a lot to do with our success. Plus, I have a very knowledgeable coaching staff — 10 coaches that either coach competitive ball in the summer or have played. That’s good information that should be brought to the girls.”

Last year, the Lightning suffered through some unfortunate injuries in key positions that cost them the state tournament title to Loveland.

In the 2013 season, Legacy will compete alongside some tough teams again, with one third of their league games being against those who played in the 2012 state tournament.

The squad lost seven seniors to graduation last year and only has three seniors

returning. Even though the team is very young this year, the skipper said she thinks her team will be powerful offensively.

“I think we will have a very good hitting team this year,” Gaffin said. It’s one thing we focus on all summer. The girls have been working on speed and agility.”

Among the seniors returning is Aspen Eubanks. A left-handed hitter and middle infielder, Eubanks has big shoes to fill, considering she’s taking the place of former seniors who used to play in the middle.

Senior Kylie Barnard said it’s a pleasure to be on the field with someone like Eubanks.

“She’s like a sister to me,” Barnard said.

“She works super hard at everything.”

Eubanks said one of Legacy’s strengths is the leadership role the upperclassmen have taken on from last year. She said one of her goals is to help the newcomers feel more comfortable on the team.

“Since we lost so many of our seniors, we need to work on just making the incoming varsity players a part of the team,” Eubanks said. “We have a lot of incoming freshmen, so we need to make sure we build them into our program.”

Barnard and senior Maddie Ertle are also returning to the squad. Barnard, a 6-foot-tall infielder, has been starting at third base since her sophomore year.

Ertle played utility last year and is looking to play in the outfield this year. Juniors Alyssa Geist, Haley Smith and Celyn Whitt are also returning.

The Legacy softball team has a number of goals this year, but their No. 1 aspiration is to bring the championship trophy back to their home turf.

“I think our goal is always to get back to state,” Gaffin said. “It will be a rough start, but I’ll get them back into shape by October. I have an excellent coaching staff, so I think I can get them going.”

Horizon High School

Softball Teams At a glance

Coach: Gary Mares (3rd season). Last year’s record: 12-10 overall, 6-5 league.

Returning players: Jasmine Wessel, C, JR; Taylor Smith, P, JR; Kayla Hepp, 1B, SR; Devin Bushner, OF, SO; Kaitlyn Barrett, OF, SR; Kayla Anthony, 1B/DH, JR; Kelly Fodness, OF, SR. Outlook: This year we look forward to the challenge of replacing five seniors, three of which were All-Conference players and two as captains, and our number 1-4 hitters. Positions to fill are shortstop, second base, third base and center field. Some positions may come from incoming freshman class. Open competition will create opportunities for playing time. Goal is to repeat as Regional Qualifiers (program has not qualified for postseason play since the early 2000’s), and the sting of being one out away of the State Tournament (having lost nine innings).

Legacy High School

Coach: Dawn Gaffin (14th year). Last year’s record: 19-3-2. Returning players: Aspen Eubanks, 2B/SS, SR; Kylie Barnard, 3B/1B, SR; Haley Smith, P/1B, JR; Celyn Whitt, DH, JR; Maddie Ertle, UT SR; Alyssa Geist, OF/C, JR. Outlook: As always, the Front Range League will host a very competitive league with 1/3 of our league represented in the 2012 state tournament. Horizon, Fossil Ridge, Mountain Range, and Fort Collins will be some of Legacy’s toughest league competitors this year. Legacy softball will work to be in the top 3 in our league again this year with aspirations to participate in their 11th consecutive State Tournament.

Mountain Range High School

Coach: Dane Craig (7th year). Last year’s record: 13-9. Returning players: Harley Huser, SS, SR; Kayla Staab, 1B, SR; Desire Visser, 2B, SR; Celeste “Goose” Martinez, RF, SR; Valerie Ortega, C, SO; Riley Craig, 3B, SO; Hunter Huser, P, FR. Outlook: The Mustangs look to challenge for the Front Range title in 2013 with seven returning seniors and a strong starting line-up both offensively and

defensively. With returning all-conference players like Harley, Riley, and Valerie, and senior leadership from Kayla, as well as a fireball pitcher in Hunter coming in to the program, 2013 looks to be the Mustangs year to get in the Colorado softball map.

Skyview High School

Coach: Patrick Bahl (1st year). Last year’s record: 2-8 league, 8-10 overall.

Returning players: Keyanna Varner, P, SO; Mercy Aguilar, 2B/3B, JR; Naya Montoya, 2B, JR; Alexis Fernandez, P/CF, SO; Salena Aguiniga, 1B, JR; Christine Gudenkauf, LF, JR; Biry Gonzales, SS, JR; Calrisa Hale, C, SO; Haily Kruger, RF, SO. Outlook: This year the Skyview softball team contains some young, very talented girls. I expect them to be competitive in our league (Colorado 7). We have a large number of returning starters and with the talents of both the new and returning girls; I plan on a very successful season.

Standley Lake High School

Coach: Carrie Ott (11th year). Last year’s record: 11-11-1 overall, 3-5 in league. Returning players: Melissa Heronema, 3B, SR; RiAnna May, CF, SR; Nicole Garcia, OF/2B, SR; Rhiannon Parry, P/ UT, SR; Madison Schmidt, SS, JR; Samii Garcia, 1B/OF, JR; Ana Clouse, OF, JR; Rebecca Couture, P/UT, SO; Rachel Couture, C, SO. Outlook: I have high expectations for our team this year. Seven of our nine returning players were starters last year and bring with them talent, experience, and dedication. We have all of the potential to be a dominating team this season.

Our goal is be the Jeffco 5A champions and to win state.

Thornton High School

Coach: Scott Gibson (8th year). Last year’s record: 3-16. Returning players: Janae Montoya, JR; Alycia Ibarra, SO; Danielle Martinez, JR; Tamika Spruell, SR; Lexi Vosparris, SR; Alicia Romo, SO.

Legacy’s Chen ready for senior year Lightning’s top golfer looking to end career on a high note

By Scott Stocker

sports@ourcoloradonews.com There’s little doubt that Legacy’s Eric Chen is eager for the 2013 golf season to get under way. After all, he once again will be in the running to win the Class 5A state golf championship.

Chen, the only Legacy player in the field over the Rolling Hills Golf Course at state last fall, carded a two-day total of 146. While a great score, it fell one short of champion Kyler Dunkie, of Douglas County, who shot 145 on the Golden course, and was also a tie with Spencer Painton, of Regis.

“It was a disappointment, sure,” Chen said during his pre-season interview. “It should be a better season as I feel so much better. I’ve had a pretty good summer, and I’m more confident in my game. The key is always to try to improve. Pressure? Not really.

“Golf is a funny sport, and you just want to go out and play your best at the various courses and not worry so much about the

competition,” Chen said.

“After all, a lot of us are on different holes, and you don’t always know what the other players are doing. Strange things can happen out there, we all know that.”

Chen carded another second-place finish this summer at the Rocky Mountain Invitational over the Kennedy Golf Course in Denver. This time the competition was from players throughout the Midwest.

“My irons have been consistent, and I just want to keep a good mental attitude,” Chen said. “As a team, we probably need more practice, but I think we’re going to play well this season.”

Those, too, are the thoughts of Legacy coach Bobby Ortega. And, perhaps in his 13th season at the helm for the Lightning, Ortega will see an individual champion prevail, as well as a fine team season. This year’s 5A state tournament will be played Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at the Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora.

“Eric has high expectations in what he can accomplish,” Ortega said.

“He’s just got that great attitude, works hard and is full of determination. He had a couple of back-to-back bogies in his final round, but he’s not going to let that bother him. He is not one to get down on himself. He’s just very competitive and evenkeeled.”

Runners hungry for good finish Thornton cross-country boys looking for better ending than previous year

By Scott Stocker

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Thornton’s Sean Paiz and Joshua Joseph will be seeking a much better finish to the 2013 cross-country season than they experienced last year, as will coach Jason O’Shea.

Thornton went into the Class 5A state meet with expectations of a least a topfive finish. But when the action was complete over the Norris-Penrose Event Center course, the Trojans had to settle for 10th place.

Paiz, a senior, finished a disappointing 25th with a much slower time than his season best, running 17-minutes, :20.5 seconds. Joseph, a junior, was 31st, running :17:28.8.

“Last year at state we didn’t strike as a team,” said Paiz, Thornton’s captain. “We just broke under the pressure. It’s going to be a lot different this year. We’ve worked hard to get back into shape, and we’ve got four back from our state team, and a fifth who qualified but didn’t compete at state.

We only lost two seniors, and we do have some injuries to overcome. We’re working hard to get back in shape.”

Paiz was the No. 1 runner for Thornton last year, a move up from his sophomore season that he said was huge.

“It was a big change for me,” Paiz said.

“I had to lead, and that jump in the lineup was something to look forward to. I feel very confident in my ability, and I think as a team, we are going to be alright. It certainly ended up being a learning experience for all of us. Overall, I think we have a great group of guys, and we know what to do. Now, just do it.”

Joseph is also looking for much better results all the way around.

“At state, it appeared we were ready, but as it turned out, not ready,” he said. “We went into state like it was any other meet, but that’s not state. We just didn’t do what we were expected to do. I think we have a

One of the many top cross country runners to compete for Thornton High School this fall is junior-to-be Joshua Jospeh. Photos by Pam Wagner good opportunity this season to be one of the best teams.

“Last year was my first time in a state situation, and I guess I really didn’t know how to prepare,” Joseph sai. “This year I’ll be ready to push all the way. The key is to be more than just ready. This year I want to get right with myself and do what has to be done.”

Those certainly are the thoughts of O’Shea.

“We’ve got five of our top seven boys from the team back, and they’ve put in a lot of work this summer,” O’Shea said. “We look to be a lot better than last year. State was a disappointment for us. We took third at the Nike in Arizona recently, and that’s a blessing.

“But last year, a couple of the kids just didn’t do as well as we expected,” O’Shea said. “We hope to do a lot better at the big meets this season as we have depth and we have experience. We have a lot of juniors and seniors to give ourselves good competition. I think we should make state again, this time putting in a better performance.”

juniors Trevor Glenn and Zach Moritz, and sophomore Mitchell Gore are youngsters willing to work hard. We’ve got high expectations.”

Regis won the 5A title last fall with a 446 total. The Raiders were followed by Ralston Valley (454) and Cherry Creek (464). Pueblo Centennial’s Jacob Allenback was the 4A winner while medalist honors in 3A went to Kent Denver’s Ben Moore. Moore, by the way, prevented teammate Ethan Freeman from winning his third consecutive title.

Kent Denver also bested Holy Family to win the 3A team championship, 446472.

Coach: Will Wilson (8th year). Returning players: Joey Bartoletti, Sr.; Matthew Collier, Jr.; Patrick Heneghan, Sr.; Jack Marty, So.; Connor Stanley, Sr.; Tyler Simiens, Sr.; Joe Woeste, Sr. Outlook: The Tigers have 12 returning players overall and have the ability to make a run for the league and state titles. They know they have to overcome Kent Denver which has won every league title since 2001. Bartoletti and Connor Stanley are returning from last year’s state qualifying team and Matthew Collier was also honorable mention all-league.

Heneghan is coming off an injury, but should be ready. Wilson feels there are four, perhaps five, players who can make the all-league team and get the Tigers back to state.

Northglenn, Thornton, The Academy

Coach: Joe Wallin (16th year). Returning players: Chris Stuckman, Sr.; Lewis Vadeen, Jr.; Pedro Martinez, Sr.; Nick Vadeen, So. Outlook: Wallin felt he could have about 20 players from the three schools on the squad this

championship with a score of 103 points last season. The individual champion in 5A was Denver East’s Ashi Ge-

season. The majority are from Northglenn, but he hopes the numbers from Thornton and The Academy will pick up. Stuckman and Lewis Vadeen were state qualifiers last season and he hopes their play and leadership will continue to help the team grow. Martinez has been on the bubble of being a state qualifier and this could be his year. A large number of sophomores, with Nick Vadeen a leader, and freshmen should help the building process for a season of success.

Standley Lake High School

Coach: Ron Zwemke (5th year). Returning players: Steve Finch, Jr.; Andrew Hewitt, Jr.; Matt Leeper, Sr.; Jeremy Minnick, Jr.; Caleb Ott, Sr.; Austin Rosenthal, So.; Nick Villano, Jr. Outlook: There appears to be a good outlook behind the four returning lettermen — Leeper, Minnick, Ott and Villano. Good things are also expected from Hewitt and Rosenthal.

Leeper was the leading scorer last season for the Gators and Zwemke is high on his prospects this time around. Zwemke feels that Ott

Coach: David Good (16th year). Returning runners: Mark Bowles, Sr.; Aaron Hillman, Sr.; Erich Hixson, Sr.; Joe Marcia, Sr.; Dillon Roddy, Sr.; Tristan Smith, Sr. Outlook: The Tigers are loaded with seniors as all six who participated in last year’s state meet return after an 11thplace finish. In fact, they are the only team from last year’s meet that will have its full team of state qualifiers returning. And, after watching the girls win the state title last season, they feel this could be their year.

Coach: Chris Smith (7th year). Returning runners: Dylan Andrew, Sr.; Lucas Droste, Sr.; Tristan Hasch, Sr.; Matt Kowalsky, Sr.; Paul Williams, Sr. Outlook: Only two runners with state experience return: Matt Kowalsky and Joe Stamos. Stamos, by the way, is a newcomer for the Mustangs as he transferred from Horizon and had BUY - ed SELL TRADE - NEW USED - SELF-RELIANCE qualifi for-state while with -the Hawks.

It was a good summer of practice, a turnout of 20 players.

Girls Horizon High School

Coach: Mike Ryan (1st year). Returning runners: Lizzi Atwood; Lauren Knight, Jr.; Megan Mooney, So.; Gabby Penaflor; Kaley Stutzman, Sr.; Melanie Sundahl, So. Outlook: “We’ve had a great turnout, about 40 to 50 boys and girls expected. It was a good summer of practice, and I think the kids are ready to go.”

Jefferson Academy High School

Coach: Ben Hershelman (5th year). Returning runners: Mariah Archuletta, So.; Fiona Cavanaugh, Jr.; Marisa Chapman, Jr.; Heidi Wendt, Jr .Outlook: The girls were 11th in state last season, and Hershelman feels they are definitely a top-10 contending team. They had a fine summer and appear ready to go. Wendt, strong in the No. 3 slot for much of the year, and Cavanaugh, holding down the No. 5 spot should be the leaders.

Mountain Range High School

Coach: Sarah Rebick (1st year). Returning runners: Maggie Castillo, Sr.; Rowan Kowalsky, Sr.; Rebekah McCabe, So; Jesse McKenna, Jr.; Maddie Obernesser, Jr. Outlook: Senior talent behind Castillo and Kowalsky should help lead the way for the Mustangs. Kowalsky, the twin sister of boys standout Matt Kowalsky, holds the school record and should break it this season.

Coach: Alisa Hansen (3rd year). Returning runners: Issac Martinez, Sr.; Sam Piltz, Sr. Outlook: There is a lot up in the air for Only two lettermen return, TH the Wolverines.

TH and according to Hansen there is a lot of team building that has to be accomplished. The team only had five players when she came on board two years ago, but she expects to have anywhere from 15 to 20 this season.

Coaches: Robert Thompson (3rd year), Von Miller (1st year). Returning runners: Cristal Cordova, Sr.; Cassie Vargas, Sr. Outlook: The Norse girls are small on numbers, but Thompson and Miller think it is a group with a lot of heart. They feel the focus will be more on their individual efforts and their individual scoring.

Skyview High School

Coach: Alisa Hansen (3rd year). Returning runners: Ryleigh Foster, Jr.; Shaely Northway, So.; Crystal Perez, So. Outlook: Hansen feels the Wolverines have some up-andcoming runners as the program has grown over the past two seasons. Still, she says, there is a lot of building to do.

She only had five in her first year, but expects a combination of 15-20 girls and boys this time around.

Thornton High School

Coach: Jason O’Shea (3rd year). Returning runners: Katheryn Lundstrom, Sr.; Nyssa Mora, So.; Kasha Strong, Sr. Outlook: O’Shea only has seven girls on the team to start the season, short on depth, to be sure. But he’s pleased with the leaders in the group. And, it would be special if these young ladies can reach state as in the 38-year history of the team; they’ve never been to state.

Lundstrom is with the team for her third season and the coach feels she is a top-15 runner. Strong and Mora are coming into their own and the coach has high

He has been shooting consistently in the 70s. Zwemke also feels that Finch is ready to complete at a higher level.

Horizon High School

Coach: Tom White (1st year). Returning players: Bennett Kingsley, Sr.; Tony Salazar, Sr.; Casey Carr, Sr.; Skylar Lunder, Sr.; John Stutzman, So. Outlook: This is White’s first year with the boys team and he and assistant Austin Madison welcomed 18 players, six of whom are freshman. The four seniors will certainly lead the way for the Hawks. The coach is not sure how things are going to go since it’s his first season. But he feels this is a team with a lot of heart, potential and determination. As such, he’s very optimistic, as are the players.

The four seniors are the heart of the team and he feels that Stutzman has shown a lot of early promise.
