‘Their dad was their rock’

MY NAME IS

Three brothers, 15, 14 and 10, lose second parent within 10 months

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mollie Carvill and her daughter, Quinn, take a break from playing on the swings at O’Brien Park on a sunny May morning. Carvill says the most difficult part of raising an almost 2-year-old is finding enough activities to keep her busy.

TOM SKELLEY

MOLLIE CARVILL

Mother, nurse and ‘Broncos girl’ Serving the sick In my part-time job, I work as a nurse. I think the best part is that I really love my job. Helping other people and serving others just makes my heart happy. The hardest part is just the legal stuff that goes into it. It’d be nice if we could focus on helping people instead of constantly charting every single thing. It would be nice to focus less on that liability aspect and more on just helping people feel better.

Serving up sports My husband and I moved here about two years ago, we have family in Highlands Ranch and wanted to stay close by. Now it’s three of us, our daughter, Quinn, is almost 2.

It’s nice having the family close by so we can have dates together.

We love going out to eat. We also go to see the Avs or the Rockies a lot. I’m more of a Broncos girl, but the tickets are a bit pricey. The Avs and Rockies are much more affordable.

Learning along the way I went skydiving once, but I think the scariest thing I’ve ever done is being a parent, walking into it knowingly. It’s intimidating because you just don’t know what you’re doing. Nobody has the perfect way to parent figured out. It depends on the child, it depends on you, it depends on the circumstances. There’s no way to look up the right way to parent, it’s just like “well, here we go, we’ll see,” so the whole thing can be a little frightening.

Thinking of the future I think my biggest hope for Quinn is that she is kind and respectful when she grows up. I think that’s the best outcome she could have. At 2, it’s mostly just “say please, don’t push people, don’t say ‘no’ to everybody,” but for the future I hope she’ll just be kind. I think I want the same thing for the world she’ll grow up in.

We’re in a world where there isn’t a lot of kindness or respect, but there is a lot of entitlement. I hate to say it, but coming from a wealthy neighborhood, I think a lot of people feel entitled. But just knowing that you have to work for what you get and treat others with the same respect you want for yourself is important.

Three Parker boys are dealing with a tragedy most children could never imagine.

Just 10 months after their mother, Dr. Hope Cassel, died as the result of a paddle boarding accident during a storm at Chatfield Reservoir, the boys’ father, Thomas Cassel, died of a heart attack on April 28.

“Their dad was their rock,” said longtime family friend Veronica Kenny. “He pushed them to be their best for themselves with love and support. In the 10 years I knew him, I never heard him raise his voice.

He was a gentle and kind soul, with the boys, and with everybody.”

Harrison, 15, Grayson, 14, and Hayden Cassel, 12, are “doing very well,” said Kenny, whose three children attend Chaparral High School, Sierra Middle School and Mammoth Elementary School with the Cassel brothers. All of the Cassel boys returned to school on May 1, just three days after their father’s death.

“They are quite rooted in the faith,” Kenny said. “After their mother died, their father did a tremendous job of reminding them of that.”

A memorial for Thomas was held at Parker United Methodist Church on May 4. Harrison delivered his father’s eulogy, of which Kenny provided a portion to the Parker Chronicle.

“My dad was the kind never to do anything halfway,” Harrison said.

“He showed me to be strong and how to survive the worst of hardships, and he is my idol.”

The younger brothers added to Harrison’s tribute, with Grayson saying that Thomas “never quit on his kids,” and Hayden noting he had never heard of his father doing or saying anything mean to anyone.

Harrison told those in attendance

Do you have any of these leg symptoms?

• Achy legs • Varicose veins • Leg swelling • Spider veins • Restless legs • Leg cramps

• Minimally invasive treatments • Most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid • Superior patient experience

HOW YOU CAN HELP A GoFundMe page has been set up to accept donations for the continuing care of Harrison, Grayson and Hayden Cassel.

It hasn’t been decided yet where they will go or who they will stay with, but all donations will go to a family member responsible for caring for the boys. As of May 8, the page had raised more than $44,600.

Anyone wishing to donate can go to: gofundme.com/cassel-boys his father had recently taken a side job as an umpire to make extra money for a family trip to Disney World.

The boys’ paternal grandmother and their two uncles, both Thomas’ brothers, are staying with them while they decide what to do next.

Where the boys will go or who they will live with hasn’t been decided, Kenny said, but “the boys will be given a choice and a voice” in the decision.

As they decide, Kenny said the boys’ uncles and grandmother have expressed their thanks for the financial and emotional support the local community has provided.

“I just know that the family as a whole have so much gratitude toward the community,” Kenny said.

“The boys are taken care of.”

Students aim to steer others toward safety Chaparral teens take safe driving program on the road

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When authority figures try to get through to teens, they use whatever methods they think will work the best.

But ask any parent or teacher and they’ll admit it doesn’t always work.

Three Chaparral High School students know the importance of safe driving firsthand, so they took it upon themselves to get the message out to other students, and to help adults reach drivers like them.

“The first thing we said was scare tactics don’t work,” junior Emily Baller said. “A lot of the videos you see, like the ones in driver’s ed(ucation), try to scare you, and teens just tune them out because they think ‘I’ll never be in that situation.”

Baller, senior Jacqueline Closs and senior Alex Lehman organized a week of social media alerts, promotional signs and announcements. Their “teen-to-teen” approach was capped with a documentary the girls produced with the CIG marketing company, “Anyone Is at Risk.” The project fulfilled requirements for Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), a national program designed to get high schoolers involved in business and marketing, but their goal was to give an emotional connection to the

issue of fatalities among teen drivers.

“For us, that was Taylor,” Baller said.

Taylor Llewellyn, a senior at Chaparral was killed in 2014 in a head-on collision on Parker Road. A cause was never determined, though phone records showed she was not using her phone at the time and neither drugs nor alcohol were considered possible causes.

“She wasn’t drinking and driving, she wasn’t texting and driving, she was just a kid and she was at risk,” Baller said.

Closs and Baller want other teen drivers to remember that driving is dangerous in and of itself, even without added distractions or impairments.

Closs and Lehman recently presented the video and held panel discussions at the Lifesavers National Highway Safety Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, a state DECA competition in Colorado Springs, and a national DECA competition in Anaheim, California, in April.

Thousands of people across the country have seen the video.

“As tragic as it is that Taylor has passed away, her story has reached a lot of others, they’ve seen what happens when a community goes through that,” Baller said.

“I don’t think we’ll ever reach every person,” Closs said, “but changing that one person’s mind, even if it’s a passenger in your car, can affect the entire car full of people.”

“Even if we keep one person from going to the hospital,” Baller adds, “that’s success.”

Luncheon looks back at move for equality Rotary Club honors women for service

Connie Golas, left, accepts the “Light ‘n’ Heart” award for International Service to Others from Rotary International District 5450 Gov. Mary Kay Hasz during the Women of Achievement ceremony. Hasz called Golas a “dynamo” for her work with literacy projects in Costa Rica.

TOM SKELLEY

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An invitation to lunch eventually led to women’s involvement with the Rotary International 30 years ago, so it seemed appropriate that the Rotary Club of Parker Cherry Creek Valley would mark the anniversary with a celebratory midday meal.

At the second annual Women of Achievement luncheon, held at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree on May 3, Cheryl O’Brien explained that the first female member of Rotary, Dr. Sylvia Whitlock, was invited to a Rotary lunch by the club’s Duarte, California, chapter president to get more community members involved with the club.

Interviewed in a video produced for the ceremony by Legend High School junior Paige Dickman, WhitOlock said she turned him down.

“I told him ‘I don’t want to go to lunch, I want to go where I can help people,’” she said.

Eventually, Whitlock relented, but a simple lunch turned into a battle for inclusion.

Rotary International’s laws in 1977 didn’t allow women to join, and it took a 10-year legal struggle, going all the

way to the United States Supreme Court, before women were officially allowed to be members. Now, 20 percent of Rotary International members are women, totaling over 199,000 worldwide.

“It was never about women or men,” O’Brien said. “It was about community.”

Keeping with the club’s motto of “Service Above Self,” the Cherry Creek club hosted the occasion to honor eight women involved with six other Rotary clubs in Douglas County, excluding their own members from nomination.

Awards were given for innovation, organizational enhancement, international service and other areas that

embody the club’s dedication to what O’Brien called “salt of the earth” service.

Keynote speakers included Cherry Creek Valley’s Founder and President, Mike Dunkel, Rotary District 5450 Governor Mary Kay Hasz and Parker Mayor Mike Waid.

Hasz’s speech focused on her challenges entering higher education and the workforce as a woman, and acknowledged that though there are more women in Rotary now than ever before, the incidence of women joining the club is still disproportionate.

“At that rate, we won’t have gender parity in the club for three more decades,” Hasz said. “To that, I say men, watch out.”

LIGHT ‘N’ HEART WINNERS Honorees at the Women of Achievement ceremony on May 3 were each presented with a “Light ‘n’ Heart” award for the following categories: • Leadership: Jane Johnson, Foundation President of the Rotary Club of Parker • Unsung Heroine: Marion Trummer, Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch • Mentoring Women: Jan Keyton, Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch • International Service to Others: Connie Golas, Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch • Innovation: Debby Novotny Doig, Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch • Local Service to Others: Lin Miklas, Rotary Club of Castle Rock • Organizational Enhancement: Ana Ximenes, Rotary Club of Castle Rock • Young Woman: Megan Maccagnan, Valor Christian Interact program Two students from Legend High School were also awarded $1,500 scholarships for their volunteer service and academic achievement at the ceremony: • Capri Baker, co-president, Legend High School Interact • Kaitlin Ochs, co-president, Legend High School Interact

‘It is more about your team than it is about anything else.’

Clifton Oertli, owner of Resolute Brewing Co.

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clifton Oertli, 32, started his own programming and web development business when he was in high school.

His business involved buying and selling items on eBay. Today, he owns two businesses in metro Denver: Resolute Brewing Co. and NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. Beck Halbeisen and Vincent Rowe, both 18, recently started an app-based business. The app, Leave No Car Behind, is an Uber-like ride program that will not only take someone home, but will also get their car home. The app is made to get drunken drivers off the road.

Oertli, Halbeisen and Rowe are among those taking advantage of a strong climate for young entrepreneurs in the Denver metro area.

In 2016, Denver was ranked by NerdWallet.com, a website that focuses on personal finance, as the fourth best city in the country for young entrepreneurs. Researchers weighed multiple factors, with Denver ranking high because of an educated population, a strong economy and a high rate of loan guarantees by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Denver also was ranked by Forbes magazine in 2016 as the best place in the nation for businesses and careers.

The magazine pointed to Denver’s ability to provide a good “work-life balance,” something that millennials value most in their careers, according to the article.

Madhavan Parthasarathy is the director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver. He has noticed a shift of millennial interest in entrepreneurship, stating that it is “growing tremendously.”

Parthasarathy said an entrepreneur is largely defined by the mindset he or she possesses.

“An entrepreneur is someone who

to eventually go to the University of Colorado-Boulder to study business.

“Being an entrepreneur has been a goal,” Halbeisen said. “I didn’t think it would happen this early, but we are both fortunate for this to happen.”

In starting their business, Halbeisen and Rowe agreed that there needed to be a way to get drunken drivers off the road.

“We want the roads to be safer at night,” Rowe said. “The main reason that people justify drunk driving is so that they can get their car home.”

The app the teens created to solve the problem works by having two people arrive, one to drive the individual home and the other to drive their car home. The service, currently running in Denver and Santa Fe, New Mexico, has a base cost of $30 and adds an extra $2.10 for every mile driven.

Both Halbeisen’s and Rowe’s families have been affected by drunken driving.

Halbeisen’s grandfather, who was a state patrol officer, almost died in an accident involving a drunken driver, he said. After pulling a driver over one evening, a drunken driver drove off the road and pinned his grandfather against the other car.

Rowe said his cousin was a passenger in a vehicle and died in a drunken driving accident in 2016.

Halbeisen’s father, an app developer, gave the teens the necessary resources to create the app, which launched in March.

Starting this month and continuing into the summer, new cities are being added to the app: Des Moines, Iowa; Phoenix; Philadelphia; New York; and Dallas.

The two are exploring other ways to market their services, focusing on helping patients from a hospital get a ride home after a procedure.

Halbeisen and Rowe have been part of the driving team for their budding business. They said that even though they get calls at 3 a.m. on weeknights, it will be worth it in the long run.

“We want to take this as far as we can,” Rowe said.

They have already learned lessons about starting a business.

“You have to give it your all,” Halbeisen said. “You can’t expect things to happen, you have to go out and work for it.”

has a certain level of passion and a mindset that is curious enough to actually learn new things, be willing and open to different types of jobs and functions and able to actually take risks,” he said.

And, he believes, there is a specific set of skills an entrepreneur must possess. Among the skills are sharp thinking and the ability to make quick decisions.

An entrepreneur, he said, is someone willing to “do marketing, run finance, sweep the floors and do whatever is required to run the business.”

Entrepreneur from the start After hawking items on eBay, Oertli moved into a new project in college and joined a web startup company where he developed websites for the next five years.

Oertli, a Littleton resident, graduated with an engineering degree and decided to pursue a path in engineering. He worked at NEI Electric Power Engineering Inc. in Wheat Ridge for five years before purchasing it along with four co-workers.

Just two years ago, Oertli decided to add something new and different to the mix by opening Resolute in Centennial with three other owners.

Running an engineering firm and a brewing company concurrently requires different mindsets, Oertli said.

“It is a big shift going from managing introvert engineers to managing extrovert creative types in the brewery,” Oertli said.

And people, Oertli knows, are the most important part of entrepreneurship.

“It is more about your team than it is about anything else,” Oertli said.

“The market, the product — every-

thing else is secondary to the team.”

The secret to a good team, Oertli has found, is diversity of both opinion and personality types.

“If you have your entire team comprised of people with the same personality type, they are all going to approach a problem with the same mindset,” Oertli said. “A different thought process might help you see a problem from a different perspective that one personality type might not see it from.”

Oertli’s people-focused drive is aimed to empower and encourage his team. Details of business are secondary.

“A lot of your problems will be solved by your team,” Oertli said. “Give Halbeisen them the right tools and give them the motivation to work hard.”

Oertli knew all his partners for years before going into business with them. Some he knew when he was 14.

Oertli defines entrepreneurship as creating a career that an individual Rowe is passionate about.

“To me, it has always meant that I get to make my vocation what it is that I enjoy doing,” Oertli said. “I can structure my career, my day and my teams around what I want to be doing every day.”

Turf battle plays out in Parker public spaces Xeriscaping replaces grass in effort to conserve water

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a dry winter and with the threat of another long, hot summer, Jeff Claar and his team have been turning to xeriscaping — replacing turf with plants that require less water to thrive — for its environmental and financial benefits.

“Tap fees are pretty high right now,” said Claar, a 16-year veteran of Parker’s parks crew. “So we’ve been getting away from turf areas and sod and using more rock and mulch.”

Considering rain totals for 2016 in Colorado were 83 percent of normal totals and March 2017 was the third warmest March on record in the state, according to the National Weather Service, that type of landscaping seems the right way to go.

Throughout Parker, medians use xeric plants. The landscaping around the police department building was designed with lowwater plants. And a xeriscaping demonstration garden near the PACE Center, south of Discovery Park, are all examples of the town’s efforts.

“The town is constantly trying to incorporate more xeriscaping principles into our landscapes with every new project,” Claar said.

“Many of our parks cannot be truly xeric, like our sport fields and high traffic turf areas, (but) many of our planting beds surrounding them do incorporate xeriscaping principles.”

The town has also been encouraging residents to xeriscape around their homes. A list of watersaving principles and suggested plants is on the town’s website.

Forestry and Open Space Supervisor Eric Stadsvold said the town has been encouraging developers and homeowners to use less turf since 2000. Those who incorporate more xeric plants in their yard will see year-round benefits, Stadsvold said “A lot of the plants outside of the turf world tend to be heartier,” Stadsvold said.

Xeric shrubs and trees can withstand Colorado’s dramatic temperature shifts, he said, and there isn’t as much need for supplemental fertilizers or soil amendments with xeric plants.

Xeriscaping alone may not save the planet, but using more xeric plants will save money on utility bills and help conserve one of Colorado’s most precious resources.

And every little bit helps. “‘Xeric’ doesn’t mean ‘zero,’” Claar said. “It just means ‘less.’”

Eric Stadsvold, supervisor for Parker’s Forestry and Open Spaces Department, inspects the xeric plants at the demonstration garden near the PACE Center. In addition to saving on water, Stadsvold says the plants tend to be heartier.

TOM SKELLEY

BATTLE PLAN: Planning: An often overlooked step in deciding how to design yard space is thinking ahead.

“The main thing is to think about how you’re going to use it,” Jeff Claar, parks crew leader for the Town of Parker, said. “Is it an area you want people to play in, or do you walk on it just to mow it?”

If it’s the latter, he suggests considering replacing turf with flower gardens to attract pollenating insects or a vegetable garden.

Claar added it’s a good idea to think beyond spring and summer when envisioning your yard space. Consider how the plants will look covered in snow or when they’re dried out in winter months.

Jeff Claar, parks department crew leader, checks the progress of a newly planted shrub outside the Old Town Hall building on East Mainstreet. Claar says the town has been trying to use xeric plants rather than planting grass to save money on tap fees and water use, as well as reducing the amount of maintenance needed.

Mulch: Gravel mulch will require a lot of weed control initially, up to the first two years, but should be easier to maintain thereafter. Rock mulch allows clay-based soil to stay wetter than wood mulch, but wood is better for retaining moisture on top of sandier, earthy soils.

Rock mulch also lasts longer.

Claar said gravel in a rock bed may need to be replaced after about 10 years, whereas wood mulch typically needs replacement every two to three years.

Irrigation: Checking sprinkler heads for leaks and cracks is critical to reducing water waste.

Making sure the heads are directing water where it is needed, Claar said, is also important.

A do-it-yourself water audit can also make sure each part of your lawn is getting the right amount of water.

Place small plastic cups around your yard while watering and, after about 10 minutes measure water levels in the cups. Grass lawns should receive about a quarter-inch of water in a 10-minute period.

Mowing: “Mowing height can play a big effect” in reducing water use, Claar said, “if you can stand to have your grass a little higher.”

Letting grass grow “as tall as you can tolerate” will reduce the water needed to keep it green.

Soil: Testing soil is critical to

knowing what additives or fertilizers to use, especially when Colorado soil tends to be composed mainly of either clay or sandy rock.

Sandy soils require longer watering periods for saturation while clay-based soils usually do better with shorter, more frequent watering.

Colorado State University offers soil sample tests for a fee. Homeowners can mail in or deliver samples to the facility at the Natural and Environmental Sciences Building, Room A-320 in Fort Collins. More information is available at soiltestinglab.colostate. edu.

Resources: Information on xeriscaping and recommended plants can be found on the town of Parker’s website at parkerrec.com/DocumentCenter/View/23043 and parkeronline.org/DocumentCenter/View/403.

Detailed information including xeriscaping procedures can be found by going to the Colorado State University Extension website at extension.colostate.edu and entering “xeriscaping” in the search bar.

VOICES Not so transparent at Jeffco school board

T

o conduct a nationwide search for a new superintendent in 2014, Jefferson County Public Schools hired consulting company Ray & Associates. The firm notified hundreds of potential candidates and received more than 60 applications, then used feedback from the community and the school board to identify 11 top candidates. The school board then interviewed five individuals — without revealing their names and backgrounds to the public — before naming a lone finalist.

The process — met with loud outcry from the community over a lack of

transparency — resulted in the selection of Dan McMinimee, then assistant superintendent in Douglas County.

The only variables that were different in the district’s superintendent search this year that resulted May 1 in the naming of lone finalist Jason Glass, currently the superintendent of Eagle County Schools, is that the five-member board is entirely different and it interviewed six candidates instead of five.

Twice, the Jeffco school district denied requests from Colorado Community Media to release the names of the

six candidates who were interviewed.

“Dr. Jason Glass was the sole finalist made public pursuant” to the statute, stated the district’s May 4 response to our second request. “The remaining applicants are not considered finalists and their names and current positions will not be released.”

Under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), all finalists for a highranking or CEO-type position such as superintendent must be named publicly at least 14 days before an actual job offer is made, giving the public time to weigh in on the choices. (The board will meet again May 16 to vote to approve

Glass.)

In our view, one person hardly seems like a finalist.

According to merriam-webster.com, a finalist is “a person who competes in the last part of a competition.” The CORA statute defines a finalist as “a member of the final group of applicants” chosen by the board. Seems like Glass was the No. 1 choice — the winner, if you will — not a competing finalist.

guys who delivered the furniture took care of everything. I was an added stop on their route and they decided to make the delivery their first of the day. But they forgot to call in advance and their arrival was unexpected. So when they came in the driver apologized for not letting me know he was on his way, but hoped I would be happy that we were first on the list. I had no problem with being first, and they were so good at maneuvering everything without my assistance, and since it was also a fairly heavy piece of furniture, I tipped them very well.

Unlike the radiology technician, the driver responded with a smile-filled and optimistic, gratitude-filled comment, “Wow, so this is how my day is going to go, is it? I sure do hope so!”

what other choice the board could have made, the district limits transparency and strips the public of its right to know more about those who could make crucial decisions in their children’s lives.

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, put it this way: “Even if the school district’s procedure for choosing a sole finalist from six candidates didn’t violate the letter of the Sunshine Law and CORA, it certainly seems to have violated the spirit of those laws. The Legislature intended to give the public a meaningful look at the decision-making process when government entities hire chief executives.”

It was interesting that CASSEL III

this time around, the public, including the teachers’ union and several parents’ groups, didn’t find the board’s decision to conduct its interview and selection process in private as outrageous as it it did in 2014.

Was it because the present school board is much more popular in the community than the previous board? In November 2015, the community successfully recalled the board majority, which had garnered strong opposition and distrust among teachers and many parents for its policies and direction. The result of the election was an entirely new board because the other two members did not run for re-election.

Leslie Dahlkemper, a member of the 2014 school board who had voted against McMinimee’s appointment and who chose not to run again, said then: “I think the process is flawed because this board

refused to allow two or three finalists to come forward.”

This time Dahlkemper said, before Glass’ selection, that the board has done a much better job of listening to the community. “I think they did very good work there and I think it’s a big difference.”

John Ford, president of the Jeffco teachers’ union, who in 2014 was critical of McMinimee’s hiring process, felt differently about the selection process this time, too.

“All indications point to this being an actual national search and the qualities the board is seeking match the wishes of the stakeholders in Jeffco, not out-of-state millionaires and billionaires,” he said before the board’s final decision.

Glass, whose credentials are impressive, may very well be the best choice. But it’s hard to tell just how well the current board did — or did not — listen to the people of Jeffco,

Thomas Harrison Cassel lll Jan. 2, 1968 - April 28, 2017

Memorial Services for Thomas Harrison Cassel III were held Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 1PM at Parker United Methodist Church in Parker, CO. Tommy passed away Friday, April 28, 2017 in Parker.

Tommy was born January 2, 1968 in Baton Rouge, LA to Thomas H. and Rita Creasser Cassel.

He graduated from Yazoo City High School, Yazoo City, MS in May 1986 where he was an honor student and played trumpet in the school band.

He enrolled in Loyola University, New Orleans, LA in the fall of that year, but upon his father’s illness transferred to Delta State University, Cleveland, MS to be closer to home. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Commercial Aviation in 1990. He also worked as a flight instructor at Delta State University, which is how he met his former wife Hope Mann.

Tommy was accepted into the Mississippi College School of Law in Clinton, MS and graduated in 1996 with a Doctorate of Jurisprudence.

After graduation, he began practicing law in Jackson, MS. His true passion was being a pilot, so he continued to fly throughout law school and whenever he had the opportunity. Tommy and his family moved to Tupelo, MS in 2004, and in 2006 the family relocated to Colorado. Having worked for various law firms in Mississippi and Colorado, Tommy was currently employed

by Cosmich, Simmons & Brown, as a member of the leadership team. He was thought of as a terrific attorney and important part of the firm who was a gracious, fair and hard working professional; he brought humor and a steady presence to all who knew and worked with him.

He was predeceased by his former wife, Dr. Hope Mann Cassel, Parker, CO; his father, Thomas H. Cassel Jr., Sarasota, FL; and his grandparents, Thomas H. and Ella Beasley Cassel of Harrisonburg, LA and H. Dale and Louise Rodgers Creasser of Sarasota, FL. Tommy is survived by his sons, Harrison, Grayson, and Hayden of Parker, CO; his mother, Rita Creasser Cassel, Sarasota, FL; and brothers Dale Cassel (Angela) and niece Miriam of Knoxville, TN and Chris Cassel (Penny) and nieces, Ella and Emily of Lafayette, LA; Uncle Mark Creasser of Charlotte, NC and his close special friend, Sarah Smith Feist of Parker, CO. He also leaves to cherish his memory his longtime family by his former marriage who were blessed and honored to call him brother-in-law, uncle, nephew and cousin. There are countless other family, friends, colleagues and clients who will also miss his friendship, easy laugh, quiet humility, thoughtful advice and readiness to help whatever the need. In addition, Tommy was a very well-loved, respected, and appreciated little league baseball coach to many of Parker’s youngsters. Above all, Tommy was a phenomenal father to his sons and nothing was more important or closer to his heart.

For those wishing to honor Tommy with a memorial donation, a fund has been established to benefit his sons at Wells Fargo Bank, routing number 102000076, account number: 3945251498. A GoFundMe account has also been set up, https://www. gofundme.com/cassel-boys

since the names of the other potential candidates have not been made public and the vote to approve Glass was done in executive session behind closed doors.

Board members repeatedly stated that keeping candidates’ names confidential could help attract a better candidate pool because publicly naming the candidates could harm their relationships with current employers.

But for public sector executives, whose salaries are paid for with our tax dollars, that is a burden they are expected to shoulder for the sake of transparency and the public’s right to know.

Just last week, the city of Centennial held a public meetand-greet with three selected finalists for its city manager position. The city of Golden held a similar event last year before naming its new city manager.

When Glass was hired in 2013 as superintendent of the Eagle County school district, his name was revealed along with two other finalists before the choice was made.

As one more example, consider Grand Junction School District 51’s superintendent search last month. District spokeswoman Emily Shockley reports that the district named four finalists. Those four were not only publicly identified, they also took part in a community meet-and-greet before the school board held a public vote to choose the winner.

Only one of the top candidates opted to drop out because they did not want to be named publicly.

“I think we got a great candidate, regardless,” Shockley said. “And one that values transparency.”

It’s a shame the Jefferson County Board of Education doesn’t feel the same way.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

the tale of two self-fulfilling prophecies. If we wake up and start our day filled with negativity and thoughts of fear, worry, and doubt, there is a high likelihood that our day will play out exactly how we envisioned it. We will probably get frustrated with equipment failures, have a short fuse with people around us, nothing will go right and we will come to expect the worst instead of the best.

However, like our driver mentioned above, if we start our day with optimism, we see situations where we can help, we smile and show gratitude in advance for all the good things that

can come our way each day, we will probably have a better than good day.

Problems will come along for sure, but our positive attitude toward our work and everyone around us will allow us to deal with each obstacle and opportunity in such a way that we will more than likely end each day just like we began it, full of hope, optimism, and accomplishment.

If you are reading this column and happened to have a day that started out the wrong way, the good news is that you have an opportunity to change it right here and right now.

Set pride and ego aside, look back on where things may have gone wrong, and think about what might have been different or what you can change immediately to get back on the winning path today. A little checkup from

the neck up, if you know what I mean.

So how about you? Have you ever heard yourself asking something like, “So this is how today is going to go, is it?” Can you think of a time when you said it out of exasperation or maybe when you said it at a time of achievement? Maybe you have had both types of days, and now ask yourself, which one turned out better? I would love to hear which one did turn out better at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start out each day with an expectation of hope and optimism, it really will be a better than good week.

Going the distance: How to train for a 5K

PHOTO BY SHUTTERSTOCK

Proper training is key to avoiding injury and completing the race

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

f it seems to you that 5K races are a dime a dozen, you would be right.

According to research at Running USA, a not-for-profit organization that studies road races, the most popular race among long-distance events in 2015 was the 5K, with a grand total of 7.6 million finishers across the U.S. That’s millions more than the next most popular distance, the halfmarathon, which had nearly 2 million finishers in 2015.

The difference between the two is considerable: A 5K is equivalent to 3.1 miles; a half-marathon is 13.1 miles.

From just-for-fun runs, to fitness challenges to philanthropic causes, there are plenty of reasons to sign up for your community’s next 5K and join the masses.

WHERE TO RUN The following are just some of the many races for metro-area residents in the next few months: • High Line Canal 5K & 10K, May 20, deKoevend Park, along the High Line Canal Trail, Centennial; www.ssprd.org/raceseriesmore information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries more information: www.ssprd.org/raceseries • Parker Family 5K, May 21, Stroh Ranch Park, 18775 Stroh Road, Parker; www.parkerfamily5k.weebly.com/ • Cattle Crossing 5K and Family Fun Trek, June 3, Tallman Meadow Park, 12335 Canterberry Parkway, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Summer Breeze 5K, 10K and

Half-Marathon, June 17, Stenger Soccer Complex, 11200 W. 58th Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com • Father’s Day Classic 5K and 10K, June 18, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; arvada.org • Six Pack Series in Highlands Ranch: numerous race beginning Aug. 6 at Highlands Heritage Regional Park, 9651 South Quebec St.; 6packseries.com • So Long to Summer 5K, 10K and Family Fun Trek, Aug. 12, Salisbury Park, 11920 Motsenbocker Road, Parker; parkerrec.com • All-Out Runapalooza 5K, 10K and HalfMarathon, Aug. 26, Apex Center, 13150 W. 72nd Ave., Arvada; alloutmultipro.com

Here’s what your local experts say you’ll need to know when training:

check in with their doctor first, just to be safe.

“You might not think it is a cardio issue,” he said, “but it might be.”

Conditions such as a recent pregnancy may create complications during training, even if a runner wouldn’t expect them to, he said.

Consult your physician Anyone with injuries or chronic conditions should consult a physician before signing up for a 5K race or longer event, said Nic Seaver, director of kinesiology at HealthFit Gym in Castle Rock.

He also recommends those without serious injury or other conditions

Start slow, build gradually There’s no rule that says a 5K must be run, Seaver said. Participants can

also walk or jog.

Regardless, when it comes to training, he implores those who don’t regularly run distances to start slow and build up their workout routine incrementally.

“Start with your comfort zone,” he said. “The biggest mistake is to shock yourself too early and either hurt yourself or scare yourself.”

For non-runners, that might mean walking or jogging somewhere between one and two miles during those first workouts. He also cautions trainers to take a rest day in-between runs rather than working out every single day.

If not, he said, you’re tearing your muscles down and increasing the risk of injury.

5 r w t r w

m S p n w

Follow a schedule Make sure you to give yourself plenty of time to train, Seaver said. He recommends starting training at least i m three months in advance of a race, especially for those who aren’t regular t o distance runners. m Then, stick to a schedule.

Cahoone takes listeners back to her Colorado country roots

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

W

hen multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and Colorado native Sera Cahoone calls for our interview, she’s in Laguna Beach, California, waves roaring in the background.

“I just needed to be near the water,” she explained with a laugh.

This setting and sounds were the perfect backdrop for Cahoone, who has been making the kind of acoustic folk music that breathes beautifully in the open air since her solo debut was released in 2006. On March 24, she released her fourth album, “From Where I Started” — the first on her own record label, Lady Muleskinner records, after three albums on Sub Pop. “I think every song on the album is very personal, and comes from true experiences,” she said.

As the title implies, Cahoone takes listeners back to her country-steeped musical roots — roots that were created and fostered at honky-tonk bars around the state. Just one of the benefits of having a father who was a dynamite salesman in the Rocky Mountain area, and brought the family along with him.

“I grew up and lived in Littleton and went to Columbine High School,” she said. “I don’t remember a lot of the Denver-area music scene at the time, but I remember Big Head Todd was really big, and you had the ska scene going on.”

TRAINING FROM PAGE 16

Run at least three times a week, starting with shorter distances if that’s your comfort zone.

At least two weeks before race day, a 5K participant should be at a weekly routine of running 1 mile early in the week, 3 miles mid-week and 5 miles at the end of the week, leaving one to two rest days before beginning the next week’s routine.

By race day, running as much as 5 miles should feel normal to your body, Seaver said. A properly trained race participant should be capable of running more miles than the race length, without it being a significant challenge.

Avoiding injury Strength training — not just cardio — is crucial while preparing for a 5K. Exercise, such as weightlifting, helps connective tissues stay strong, Seaver said.

“When you’re running you’re putting more stress on your joints,” he said. “That’s something I run into a lot, is people just stop doing their more strength-oriented workouts.”

Keeping up exercises such as deadlifting or squatting can possibly prevent the most common running injuries such as tendonitis, pulls and strains in muscles, or in the worse case scenario, tears in muscles or ligaments.

Kiyoshi Yamazaki is a sports medicine physician at HealthFit who’s boardcertified in sports and family medicine.

SERA CAHOONE’S COLORADO DATES Bluebird Friday, May 12 9 p.m.

3317 E. Colfax Ave., Denver Fox Theatre Saturday, May 13 9 p.m.

1135 13th St. Boulder Cahoone started playing the drums at age 11, and the drums remain her main instrument to this day. She went on to teach herself guitar, and began writing songs, but she still feels most comfortable behind the drum kit.

She moved to Seattle in 1998 and joined the vibrant indie rock scene of the Pacific Northwest. She was the drummer for Carissa’s Wierd and then played drums with Band Of Horses, one of the most well-known bands to come out of that scene.

But the music Cahoone loved has always been slightly sepia toned — old country and blues, as well as 70s soft rock.

“These influences tend to come through in the music I make,” she said. “I did a lot demoing at home before deciding it was time to go to the studio. But once we got there, making the album only took maybe a week and a half.”

“From Where I Started,” is Cahoone’s first album in five years, a break that allows songs to evolve and grow, she said. Time off

He’s also a former NCAA track and field athlete.

The best way to avoid injury ties in with Seaver’s advice to start slow when training, Yamazaki said. When people quickly dive into running more than their body was accustomed to, injury becomes more likely.

“That jump sort of outruns — no pun intended — the caliber of your muscle tissue, ligaments, elasticity of tissues, and even just the muscle memory,” he said. “Over-training is the number one thing that ails our new runners.”

If injury does occur, he said, see your doctor or sports medicine physician. Often, they can keep someone training for a race and have them healed, or at least ready, for the big day.

Preparing on race day As adrenaline kicks in on race day, Seaver said, don’t be surprised if you run faster than in training.

“There’s excitement, naturally, for human beings when they’re in competition,” he said.

But overall, race day should be a normal day to someone who has put in the work and trained. His final health advice is to warm up through movement before the run and stretch well afterwards.

As far as mental preparation, Seaver reminds runners that the human body is more than capable of walking, jogging or running the approximate 3 miles a 5K covers.

His best advice on race day, Seaver said: You can do it.

also leads to some great stories, like the writing of album-highlight “Up to Me” — a song she wrote while on a women’s songwriter retreat on Whidbey Island, off the coast of Washington.

“You have all day in the cabin by yourself,” she remembered. “The song just came out, and it’s one of my favorite songs.”

Cahoone is back on the road now, stretching out her musical muscles on stage again, and will be playing a show at the Bluebird on May 12, and one at The Fox in Boulder on May 13.

“I’ve been gone from Colorado half my life, but any time I play there, it feels so great,” she said. “I love playing in Colorado because I get to see my family and friends. And playing the new songs for people is so exciting.”

At a time when arts funding is under attack, its important to remember its unifying power. And Cahoone is one of the voices calling for that unity.

“People need music — without it, this would be the worst world,” she said. “The arts and music world is so strong, and people will always make art and create community with it.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he wishes there was more cool honkytonk bars around.

Northglenn’s Food Truck Carnival returns to the city’s Community Center area May 12-14 with a carnival midway, live music and food provided by 64 of Colorado’s favorite gourmet food trucks.

“Its our biggest event of the season — that’s how we are treating it and promoting it,” said food truck owner Matt McDonald. “It simply is the biggest food truck event in the Denver area for the year, and we are going all in with both feet.”

The carnival’s initial outing was Northglenn’s most successful inaugural event, with more than 30,000 attending over the three days. It takes place at 11801 Community Center Drive.

The city is hoping its bigger and better sophomore event is even more successful: Last year, the event featured 22 food trucks — this year’s features 64 trucks overall, between 20 and 30 different trucks each day.

It also includes a small cadre of “designer” trucks — clothing and gift retailers in panel trucks — more parking and a bigger carnival.

“It’s a good combination of a lot of things,” Northglenn events supervi-

E

( sor Stokes said.

The rides are provided by Wright Amusements of Elbert County. But Stokes said the food is the main attraction.

“This is not fast food,” he said.

“They are gourmet. They were never meant to put food out fast, to be a slower option. So that’s why we brought in more trucks this year.”

Vendors said it’s a great showcase for what they do.

Jose Dominguez operates Arepas House, his Venezuelan-themed food truck. The Northglenn event was one of the best events he attended since he started operation two years ago.

2 “It was amazing,” he said. “There u were a lot of people, a lot of business f for us. For us, me it was one of the a best festivals I attended in the last t year. The lines were huge.”

McDonald, who operates two trucks, said both will be coming to the Northglenn event. His Hey PB &J truck sells gourmet grilled peanut butter sandwiches. His Meatball truck specializes in Italian sandwiches, like meatball subs and chicken parmesan.

“We normally run with two people per truck,” he said. “This time, we are bringing five people per truck.”

This freshman is on quite a roll

C

Beth Lebar, a senior and team captain for the Arapahoe girls golf team, said it has taken time to deal with getting out of sand bunkers. “By the end of my sophomore year I really started to analyze how to hit a sand shot versus just going up and hoping I would get out.”

Bunkers can be boom or bust Sand traps among most daunting hazards for high school golfers

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A sand trap placed in a troublesome position in the fairway or around the green can be a feared hazard in golf.

Most professional golfers have learned how to expertly deal with sand traps, or bunkers, but many amateurs try to avoid them to keep from possibly elevating the numbers on their scorecard.

In Colorado high school girls golf, approaches on how to handle the hazards vary. And with the season

WHAT’S THE RIGHT MOVE? Knowing what to do in a bunker can be complicated, but “Golf Monthly” magazine has listed a few dos and don’ts so golfers won’t need to include a United States Golf Association rule book in their bag. Here are some of those tips: • Golfers can’t ground their club or touch the sand with their hand (USGA Rule 13-4b) • Touching or brushing the sand with the club on the backswing is also a breach of Rule 13-4b.

• All violations of Rule 13 incur a two-

stroke penalty in stroke play and loss of a hole in match play.

• Golfers are allowed to remove movable obstructions or anything manmade, like scorecards, gloves and head covers, but not anything classified as a loose impediment, like twigs, leaves, cones and branches.

• If a golfer stumbles entering a bunker and uses a club to prevent from falling, that is fine according to exception 1a to Rule 13-4.

winding down — regionals were earlier this week and the state tournaments are set for May 22 and 23 — proficiency in escaping sand traps will keep scores from soaring.

For any golfer, having the right mental approach when faced with a

stop in the sand is important.

To help keep them from seeming like daunting obstacles, Valor Christian coach Scotty Hofer doesn’t use the words “sand trap.”

aitlyn White is used to getting quirky looks.

The 14-year-old ThunderRidge freshman knows bowling is not a mainstream high school sport.

“Some people ask what sports do you play, and I say bowling,” she said. “They give me weird looks and then they say that’s so cool.”

White, who is a 170-averOVERTIME age bowler, started bowling when she was 6 and has been working on building up her college scholarship fund via her talent on the lanes.

“I did it once and really liked it,” she said. “They said I could get really good scholarship money and I Jim Benton could get into a real good college with bowling. So I went along with it.”

Bowlers earn scholarship resources at the conclusion of junior leagues by finishing among the leaders in tournaments. All scholarship resources go into the United States Bowling Congress Smart Program Scholarship fund.

White — who is the granddaughter of Colorado Community Media administrative assistant Pat Smith — has $3,600 in her account.

In my younger years, I spent a lot of time bowling in traveling leagues and house leagues at bowling centers that no longer exist.

To become a good bowler takes practice, the ability to make adjustments for lane conditions and the mental fortitude to overcome aggravations like sticking a 10-pin or chopping the six-pin off the 10 on a spare attempt.

White has the right attitude to overcome a bad game or series.

“You have to stay focused,” she said.

White has her sights set on going to college with her scholarship accumulation and maybe even bowl in college.

The NCAA sanctioned women’s bowling in 2003-04 and there are 139 colleges that have women’s varsity bowling teams.

A dominating player The regular season is over in the Jefferson County 4A baseball league and fans interested in statistics will see how dominating a season that Green Mountain junior JD Wadleigh is having.

Wadleigh, who played as a freshman at Faith Christian, leads or is tied for the league lead is six categories.

He is tops with a .500 batting average, tied with teammate Luke Kuberski with five home runs and his 1.035 slugging percentage is the best in the league. The pitcher/ outfielder also leads the league with a .623 on-base percentage, 67 strikeouts and seven pitching victories.

Faith Christian Eagles defeat Lutheran Lions Parker school ends regular season at top of 3A Metro League

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Runs proved hard to come by for the first seven innings of the May 2 Metro League baseball game between Lutheran and Faith Christian. The game was tied 3-3 at the end of seventh inning, so the game continued into the eighth. That was when the Faith Christian Eagles went on a scoring spree as they bested Lutheran 10-3 on the Lions’ home field.

“This is an outstanding baseball team,” Lions Coach Paul Vogel said.

“We have eight seniors on the roster and we have a great group of underclassmen. We play solid defense, go deep in our pitching and I can’t think of a team with better onethrough-nine-spot hitters.”

This is Vogel’s third season as head coach of the Parker school and he said he sees the Lions baseball program growing.

“We get a lot of kids out for our teams and this year we are one of the few 3A schools with varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams,” he said. “That is great for our program and I am proud to say our freshmen are undefeated.”

Right fielder Nick Cicco (2) makes a diving attempt to catch a fly ball for Lutheran during the May 2 league baseball game against Faith Christian played at Mile Hi Academy. The Lions-Eagles game was tied 3-3 at the end of the seventh inning and Faith Christian rallied to score seven runs and win the game, 10-3.

TOM MUNDS Key moments Lutheran scored a run on a fielder’s choice in the home half of the first to take the early lead. Faith Christian tied the score with a run in the top of the second. The Eagles made a bid to take the lead by sending a runner home with two outs, but Lutheran right-fielder Nick Ciccio threw a strike to catcher Mike King, who tagged out the runner trying to score.

The Eagles went ahead 2-1 with a run in the top of the fifth but Lutheran followed with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning and led 3-2 at the end of six innings. The Eagles scored a run in the top of the seventh, and the Arvada school then held the Lions scoreless in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra inning. Faith Christian put on a rally in the top of the

eighth, scored seven runs and held the Lions scoreless in the bottom of the eighth to win the game, 10-3.

“We just hit a bump in the road in the eighth,” Vogel said. “They are a good team and made the most of their opportunities as they got the win.”

He said officially the team record is 16-2, but one of the losses was an out-of-state forfeit and Faith Christian is the first team to beat Lutheran on the field this season.

Key players/statistics Lutheran season statistics show the strength of their team. In the first 17 games of the season the Lions players had 174 hits and the team scored 168 runs.

Tyler Essegian was the hit leader for the team in the first 17 games with 29 hits, which included six

doubles, three triples and two home runs. His batting average for those games was .518. He stole 18 bases and drove in 11 runs. Senior Nash Nickle was the RBI leader with 21 and teammate Nick Ciccio drove in 19 runs.

Corbyn Seymore was the leading pitcher for the Lions as he went 4-0 on the season. He threw 26 innings, gave up 18 hits and four earned runs and struck out 35. Two fellow pitchers, Justin Vaughn and Dane Gopsill, each had 3-0 records.

They said it Essegian said Lutheran started off slowly May 2 and when Faith Christian scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, he and his teammates sort of put their heads down, got down on themselves and never really got back up to do what was needed to win.

“Today wasn’t great, but overall this has been a really good season for our team,” he said. “It is all because we worked so well together as a team. We played together the best we have in the four years I have played for Lutheran baseball teams.

We, as a team, give God the credit and thank Him for blessing us with the skills and talent to play baseball and the ability to play well together as a team.”

After graduation, the Lutheran senior will travel to Arizona to play junior college baseball with the goal of being selected to play for a fouryear college.

Legend, Regis tie for league championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was nearly impossible to tell what would happen in the Continental League baseball race as the regular season drew to a close.

Legend and Regis Jesuit finally emerged a co-champions of the league despite the Titans’ 6-3 victory over the Raiders on April 27.

Support your local paper!

Heading into the final league games of the season May 3 and 4, there were six teams — Legend, Douglas County, Mountain Vista, Heritage, ThunderRidge and Regis Jesuit — tied first place.

Four of the teams played each other as Legend faced ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista took on Regis, so two teams would be eliminated from at least a share of

the title.

Douglas County faced Class 4A Ponderosa and Heritage played last-place Chaparral.

Legend whipped ThunderRidge 10-0 on May 3. Regis gained a share of the title with a 7-3 victory over Mountain Vista on May 4.

Ponderosa rallied to spoil Douglas County’s bid for a first-place finish with a 4-3 win over the

BUNKERS

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy’s play in the sand trap has improved dramatically. She says practice helps build confidence to successfully get out of sand traps.

FROM PAGE 23

“They are bunkers with sand,” he said. “If you call them sand traps, right away you are trapped and can’t get out. They are hazards. It is really not a hard shot for people used to making it.”

Hofer noted that sand shots, at least from greenside bunkers, are the only shots in which a player is not supposed to hit the ball first. Executed properly, a player’s highly lofted club — a sand wedge — strikes the sand behind the ball, popping the ball out of the trap.

When not hit correctly? The ball might stay in the bunker. Or it might come flying out like a missile.

‘Just don’t get in them’ Some believe the best strategy is to keep a healthy distance between themselves and bunkers.

That’s Arapahoe senior Beth Lebar’s approach. For her, an early trip to a trap can set a positive or negative tone.

“Like today, the first time I was in the sand, I hit it three times trying to get out,” Lebar said after competing in the Centennial League tournament in April at Broken Tee Englewood.

“So the rest of the day I wasn’t super confident out of the sand.”

But for the most part, she has learned how to handle the obstacle.

Lebar is a team captain and a fouryear varsity player who is vying for

COURTESY PHOTO

her third state tournament appearance.

“I used to be really afraid to hit out of the sand, but now I know how to talk myself through it and kind of calm down a little bit and it’s not the worst place to be for me anymore,” Lebar said.

Ralston Valley senior Jordan Remley is one of the state’s best golfers and is headed for the University of Wyoming to play, but her performance in sand traps still needs work, she said. Like Lebar, she prefers to stay away from bunkers.

“I’d say they are one of my weak points,” she said. “My point is just don’t get in them. It can definitely be mental.

“I’m more confident that I used to be. I’m still working on it.”

The role of repetition Practicing in traps is helpful.

“There are very few courses with sand to practice,” Arapahoe coach Patrick Wilson said. “Family Sports (in Centennial) is good but I tell the girls to make sure nobody is behind the trap in case they (mis-hit) a shot.

“We play the par 3 and I tell them to drop a ball in the sand. Don’t keep score, but practice getting out of the sand.”

Rock Canyon senior Brooklyn Murphy has improved at getting out of bunkers, and that has helped her lower her scores to the high 80s this season. She credits practice.

“I’ve improved by just practicing the shot and getting it consistent,” Murphy said. “Repetition of the same thing is really important and just relaxing every time you get into one — otherwise you get in your head, and a lot of times people struggle to get out and the ball stays in.”

Rock Canyon assistant coach Ron Saul just told Murphy to try to not spill water.

“What I taught her to make sand shots easier was to imagine a glass of water sitting on the club face and you have to hold it so you wouldn’t spill a drop, and swing in the bunker so you don’t spill a drop,” he said.

Legacy coach Mark Glen said, ultimately, high school players get out of sand traps just like anyone else.

“Like any other shot in golf, the more you practice a specific shot correctly, the better you get at it,” Glen said. “Can it become a mental obstacle? As I watch players on the LPGA and PGA tours, sure looks like they try to avoid them and bad shots do occur at times with that mental image.

“It is about humans, with faults, playing a game designed not only to test one’s physical capabilities but his or her emotional, mental and, at times, spiritual potential as well.”

Public Notices Public Trustees PUBLIC NOTICE Parker NOTICE OF SALE Public Trustee Sale No. 2017-0051 To Whom It May Concern: On 2/23/2017 4:09:00 PM the undersigned Public Trustee caused the Notice of Election and Demand relating to the Deed of Trust described below to be recorded in Douglas County.

Original Grantor: STEVE CARDENAS AND JENNIFER L SPEIGHT Original Beneficiary: ARGENT MORTGAGE COMPANY, LLC Current Holder of Evidence of Debt: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Date of Deed of Trust (DOT): 1/26/2007 Recording Date of DOT: 2/9/2007 Reception No. of DOT: 2007012723 DOT Recorded in Douglas County.

Original Principal Amount of Evidence of Debt: $284,779.00 Outstanding Principal Amount as of the date hereof: $300,257.48

Pursuant to C.R.S. §38-38-101 (4) (i), you are hereby notified that the covenants of the deed of trust have been violated as follows: the failure to make timely payments required under said Deed of Trust and the Evidence of Debt secured thereby.

THE LIEN FORECLOSED MAY NOT BE A FIRST LIEN.

The property described herein is all of the property encumbered by the lien of the deed of trust.

Legal Description of Real Property: LOT 14, BLOCK 1, NEWLIN MEADOWS FILING NO. 1, COUNTY OF DOUGLAS, STATE OF COLORADO. Which has the address of: 11609 S Flower Mound Way, Parker, CO 80134 NOTICE OF SALE

The current holder of the Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust described herein, has filed written election and demand for sale as provided by law and in said Deed of Trust.

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 14, 2017, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law. If the sale date is continued to a later date, the deadline to file a notice of intent to cure by those parties entitled to cure may also be extended.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both.

However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.

Organ was picked out of more than 7,000 Emily Griffith Technology College alumni who entered a drawing for the 2017 MINI Cooper donated by Schomp Automotive in Highlands Ranch.

“I like a little edge,” Organ said, standing next to his new small and zippy two-door vehicle. “It’s usually just me and my dog.”

The drawing was in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the college. The institution of-

Schomp Automotive, which oversees the MINI, BMW and Honda facilities on Plum Valley Lane, has about 20 automotive technicians at any given time, according to Osborne.

“We have hired people from Emily Griffith for quite a while,” said Osborne, of Lakewood. “We have an ongoing relationship.”
