Man’s memory lives on with lacrosse awards John ‘Jake’ Kirby was big supporter of Chaparral program

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Before his death at the hand of a distracted driver Nov. 27, John “Jake” Kirby was very active in the Chaparral High School lacrosse family.

Kirby’s children played lacrosse, and he was often seen at games even when his children weren’t playing.

Kirby’s younger son, Spencer, still plays for the team, and his older son, Tyler, is the junior varsity coach for the team.

His daughter, Katie, played lacrosse for Legend High.

Kirby’s passing nearly six months ago left the team at a loss, according to head coach Kevin Graefe, who still tears up when speaking about Kirby.

“He was a phenomenal man,” said Graefe. “He treated all these players like his own kids. He came to games that his kids weren’t even playing in.

He had a great spirit about him. It’s been a huge loss to all of us.”

In an effort to keep Kirby’s memory alive in a positive manner, the Kirby children teamed up with Graefe to create the John S. Kirby Scholarship Award and the John S. Kirby Wolverine Award, which they presented to

Student Kevin Grogan, 18, received the scholarship award, in recognition of five traits that Kirby and his family valued—compassion, excellence, integrity, perseverance and spirit.

Joan Hartwig, Kirby’s fiancé, said Kirby was an avid athlete, and supported every member on the lacrosse team as if they were his own child.

“Jake loved all kinds of sports,” said Hartwig. “His death has been really

tough on everyone. He totally supported the lacrosse team.”

Junior Austin Schwartz received the John S. Kirby Wolverine Award, for being the most inspirational player of the year.

Katie, Spencer and Tyler Kirby presented the awards.

“I want to first and foremost thank you all for the overwhelming amount of love, kindness, and help you gave our family when our dad was taken from us almost 6 months ago,” said

Katie. “He loved all of you and had so much faith in your abilities to do better on and off the field.”

The Kirby children and Graefe said it was difficult to decide which students should receive the awards.

“The varsity staff chooses the recipients, and we had at least 220 text messages going back and forth trying to pin down who was most deserving,” said Graefe.

Session delivers bills on transportation, pension reform State lawmakers also tackled health care, affordable housing

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a work season buoyed up by unforeseen revenue, Colorado lawmakers passed a deal to put more money toward the state’s deep transportation needs, gave the green light to a last-minute compromise on its publicretirement system and made progress on curtailing the opioid epidemic.

As conservative lawmakers note, the Legislature passed heavy spending lifts without a tax hike — enabled by favorable forecasts to the tune of a $1.3 billion increase in state revenue from last fiscal year. Strong economic growth and changes in federal tax policy set the state up to take in more revenue.

But Democrats and Republicans still battled on how to split that pie, and compromises left both sides without their ideal path forward.

Meanwhile, developments were less noteworthy on affordable housing, as prices continue a years-long spike.

The regular session — the 120-day term when bills can be passed — ended May 9. Here’s a look at some of what was accomplished.

Wheels turn on transportation Colorado landed itself in a $9 billion hole as of 2016, according to state projections of transportation-spending needs through 2025, and lawmakers aimed to chip further away at that price tag.

“Transportation was a — if not the — priority for Republicans this session,” said state House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock. Roads and bridges had been “neglected by the Democrats for 13 years,” he added.

For the Democrats’ part, state House Speaker Crisanta Duran supported an unsuccess- Neville ful bill last year to ask voters to raise sales and use taxes by 0.62 percentage points to raise about $375 million per year for the Colorado Department of Transportation, with other revenue going to counties and municipalities.

Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City, supported that bill along with Duran, D-Denver.

This time around, lawmakers passed a $645 million boost over the next two years in a bill that would also ask voters in 2019 to approve about $2.3 billion in bond funding for transportation. That option would put Colorado on the hook for up to $3.25 billion in borrowing costs over

“House Republicans are optimistic that the construction-litigation reform law passed in 2017 will spur more affordable home construction, but we need to give the market time to adjust before enacting more legislation.”

Cole Wist, R-Centennial, State House assistant minority leader

20 years.

But before that, outside groups may ask voters in 2018 to approve either another spending requirement without taxes, or allow a sales-tax increase.

“The Legislature will have no choice, I think, but to spend more on transportation and spend less on other things” if the first option passed, said Chris Holbert, state Senate majority leader. Holbert, R-Parker, was skeptical of the tax increase passing, “given the voter reaction to prior tax increases.”

Senate Bill 18-001, the deal lawmakers passed, headed to the governor’s desk May 17.

Small steps on housing Housing affordability, on the other hand, didn’t see a grand bargain that would move the needle much.

“There was more lip service than anything else,” said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado independent political analyst.

Democrats unsuccessfully tried to pass a tax on shopping bags to fund affordable-housing assistance, while Republicans focus on what they say are regulations that make construction unaffordable.

“House Republicans are optimistic that the construction-litigation reform law passed in 2017 will spur more affordable home construction, but we need to give the market time to adjust before enacting more legislation,” said Cole Wist, state House assistant minority leader, R-Centennial.

Lawmakers passed a bill that extends the state’s ability to allocate affordable-housing tax credits through the year 2024. It would have expired at the end of 2019, according to the Legislature’s website.

It was a welcome move, but Coloradans need more support, state Rep. Faith Winter said.

“I’m excited that we were able to (extend) affordable-housing tax credits so that more affordable-housing projects can get off the ground,” said Winter, DWinter Westminster. “However, the response from the Legislature was woefully inadequate in addressing the affordable-housing crisis in Colorado.”

The Legislature passed what state Rep. Chris Kennedy called a “renters’ rights bill” that would require landlords to provide a copy of a lease to each tenant, as well as receipts for cash rent payments, he said.

Senate Bill 18-007, the bill that extended tax credits, headed to the governor’s desk May 11.

PERA gets fix Senate Republicans passed in March what they called “sweeping new changes” to the state’s public-employee pension fund, which lawmakers say is at least $30 billion underfunded. The bill eventually passed both chambers of the Legislature on the session’s final day.

The program manages about $44 billion for more than 560,000 current and former public employees — teachers, police, and other local- and state-government employees — or about 1 in 10 Coloradans.

Doing nothing would have threatened the state’s credit rating and put all beneficiaries at long-term risk, state Sen. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, has said in the past. The Public Employees’ Retirement Association program, or PERA, has been an increasingly dire issue for years.

Senate Bill 18-200, “which was my legislation, accomplished this task of ‘stopping digging the hole while trying to fill it’ with an approach of shared sacrifice, solid financial fundamentals and better governance,” Tate said.

It adjusts the program to keep it on track to pay off its unfunded debt within 30 years, putting $225 million annually toward paying down that debt.

A bill that drew ire from the state teachers’ union, it eliminates costof-living raises for two years, and afterward, annual raises will continue at 1.5 percent, cut from the current 2 percent. That rate could automatically adjust to help keep the system financially in check, said state Sen. Kevin Priola, a Republican who represents the south part of Thornton.

The bill has a “ratchet effect” built in so that employer and employee contributions increase automatically if challenging conditions — increased life expectancy, financial-market issues or others — occur, to “keep things from spinning out of control,” according to Sondermann.

“The bill was certainly half a loaf, but I don’t think anyone really expected more than half a loaf,” said Sondermann, who co-heads a group called Secure Futures Colorado, which has pushed for reform of the program.

The deal was painful, but passing it was the right thing to do, Kennedy said.

“Retirees in 30 years are going to feel the benefit because their pensions will be there for them,” Kennedy said. “In the shorter term, employees are going to notice a dent in their paychecks, and retirees are going to see smaller cost-of-living adjustments, unfortunately.”

Opioids, health costs Before the session began, lawmakers put together six bills to address opioid abuse, including to allow for supervised-injection facilities — where people with substance-use disorders could safely inject and be referred to treatment — and to expand access to residential, or live-in, substance-abuse treatment.

Lawmakers rejected the injectionfacility bill, but a bill to limit the amount of opioids that can be initially prescribed passed, Priola said.

“I did run an (electronic) prescribe bill that didn’t make it,” which “would have helped reduce doctorshopping and forged prescriptions,” Priola said.

A bill to add inpatient and residential substance-use treatment as a Medicaid benefit — House Bill 18-1136 — passed May 7.

“These measures are the direct result of the hard work by (state) Rep. Brittany Pettersen,” said Winter, referring to the Lakewood Democrat who has pushed to address the opioid crisis and widely talked about her mother’s struggle with a substanceuse disorder.

Also passed was a measure to implement more education to medical providers about prescribing opioid drugs. Pettersen said the package of bills passed has “put Colorado on the map as a national leader.”

“This is the most important work I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of and might be the most important work in my lifetime,” Pettersen said. “Our package of bills will begin to close the barriers we face in addressing this public-health crisis. We are going to save thousands of lives.”

Elsewhere on health care, lawmakers passed bills to increase price transparency for free-standing emergency departments — which patients often confuse with urgent-care facilities, only to be charged emergencyroom fees that can cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars more.

Senate Bill 18-146 requires FSEDs to provide individuals with information on cost of treatment, the individual’s right to reject treatment and ability to ask questions about costs and options. The bill also requires an FSED to post a sign that states, “This is an emergency-medical facility that treats emergency-medical conditions” and indicate whether the facility contains an urgent-care clinic.

It could take more than a year to get answers to the May 11 fatal plane crash near the Stepping Stone community that claimed the life of Grand Junction veterinarian Bob Marquis, 67, authorities say.

The pilot had taken off from Centennial Airport, and shortly after, his plane crashed in Lone Tree, several hundred yards west of Stepping Stone.

Residents of the neighborhood reported hearing the whining of an engine around 8:30 p.m. the night of the crash, then a loud thump and whooshing sound as the small plane crashed into the field.

“It sounded like the air was being let out of a big vacuum,” said resident Baylor Bland.

Debris from the plane, a Cirrus SR22, was scattered over more than an acre in the field, and part of the plane’s engine was lodged in the side of a home.

Nobody in the neighborhood was injured.

Keith Holloway, public affairs officer with the National Transportation Safety Board, said an investigation could take more than a year to complete.

“An investigation is very time intensive,” said Holloway.

Dozens of orange flags represented where debris fell in the field, each one marking a piece of evidence that must be collected and analyzed.

Each investigator is a specialist responsible for a clearly defined portion of the accident investigation, according to the NTSB’s accident investigation procedure protocol.

Bob Marquis, of Grand Junction, died when his plane crashed in Lone Tree on May 11. The Mesa County Search and Rescue expressed their condolences on social media. Marquis was a member of the search and rescue team.

PHOTO FROM MESA COUNTY SEARCH AND RESCUE FACEBOOK PAGE

A preliminary report from the NTSB could be available in the next couple of weeks.

Marquis owned Tiara Rado Animal Hospital in Grand Junction and served on the Mesa County Search and Rescue ground team. He is being remembered on social media as a kind, caring man who helped countless people.

From the Tiara Rado Animal Hospital Facebook page: “Tiara Rado Animal Hospital has lost an incredibly smart and energetic veterinarian yesterday. Dr. Marquis was the most caring person we all have known and to work with. He touched so many of us with his kind heart as well as our furry family members.

van Meaney, valedictorian for the 2018 Chaparral High School graduating class, remembered walking into the school for the first time four years ago.

“Four years have come and gone so quickly,” Meaney told the crowd of nearly 2,000 attendees during his speech at EchoPark Stadium in Parker on May 22. “When I came in as a freshman, a senior told me `you gotta do more to be more.’ As we lie on the brink of the rest of our lives, consider the inspiration you’ve all had, and let’s pay it forward.”

Kendall Rossing thanked the Chaparral family for

helping her get through the loss of her father her junior year. Rossing had returned from a DECA trip when her mother gave her the devastating news that her father had passed away.

“I had every opportunity to give up,” said Rossing.

“But my friends, my teachers, this school, wouldn’t let me. I would not be here today without my Chap family.”

Principal Greg Gotchey wrapped up the ceremony with words of praise and support.

“Collectively, you received more than $12 million in scholarships, you gave generously through Wish Week, and you made the Chap family a community event,” said Gotchey. “Be proud. Walk tall.”

Providing service helps special-needs adults

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker resident Nathan Goodman, 42, was born with ataxic cerebral palsy, but that doesn’t stop him from giving back to his community. Goodman is the president of the Rotary Community Corps (RCC) of Parker, a branch of the Rotary club that consists of adults with special needs who carry on the Rotary motto of “Service Before Self.”

“I have been the president for three years, and I open each meeting with the Rotary Pledge and the Pledge of Allegiance,” said Goodman. “We do a lot of good things, like we help the Parker Task Force gather backpacks. I love helping others, it’s always a lot of fun helping people out.”

Project C.U.R.E — a Centennialbased charity that provides donated medical supplies and equipment to people in developing countries — was a recent recipient of the RCC’S efforts.

The 20-member RCC team collected items for Kid Kits, which include toiletries and emergency supplies a family in a developing country might need in case of an emergency.

RCC meets the second Tuesday of each month, and members have the opportunity to socialize and learn leadership skills while they decide which project they will tackle next.

Guest speakers attend the meeting,

and RCC members have heard from local officials, law enforcement members and first responders.

“The RCC helps developmentally disabled youth and adults 15-plus to become active in their community, learn leadership skills, feel like a vital part of their community, become socially active and give back to their community, as well as build friendships and have fun in a safe environment,” said Breitenbach.

“North Carolina had cut back so much on programs for Nathan, and I heard from a niece about RCC and other day programs that were in the Parker area,” said Marion. “It was a no-brainer. Nathan is happier than he’s ever been.”

Breitenbach, a Rotarian herself, presented the idea of RCC to the Rotary Club of Parker in 2010, and with a start-up fund of $50, RCC was born and has grown to more than 20 members. Since then RCC members have made blankets to donate to Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, helped assemble toys for Englewood-based international orphanage network God’s Kids, and each year look forward to adopting a family for the Christmas season.

“Adopt-a-family, that’s lots of fun,” said Goodman. “We get help from the Rotary Club of Parker and the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club to buy the toys, then we get to wrap them. It’s really fun.”

Breitenbach said she has seen a difference in many of the members throughout their time in RCC. “Being part of the community is a big thing,” said Breitenbach. “Quiet people are starting to laugh and getting to know other people.”

RCC is open for anyone over 15 with a disability. For more information contact Breitenbach at kamiebreitenbach@gmail.com.

From open prairie to economic driver Centennial Airport’s history ran alongside rise of Denver’s south metro area

An aerial view of Centennial Airport at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the story goes, a businessman drove a shiny, black car to his downtown Denver office, and when he walked back to the car that afternoon, he found a large scratch in the door.

Around the early 1960s, that was enough for George MacKenzie Wallace to plan to move his office to a location with more space for parking.

He set out to buy two acres of land in the southeastern part of the Denver metro area, but a reluctant seller wouldn’t break up a 40-acre parcel.

That land sat near what was becoming Interstate 25 (a stretch completed

PHOTO COURTESY OF DEBORAH GRIGSBY SMITH

in 1963) and East Belleview Avenue.

With the 38 extra acres, Wallace carried out his vision for a working environment that would eventually become the Denver Tech Center, one of the first suburban-office parks of its kind in the nation.

It wasn’t long before Wallace saw the need for a general-aviation airport to

serve the growing area — he helped push for a solution in what would become Centennial Airport.

The general-aviation airport, now one of the nation’s busiest, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, capping off half a century of advancement alongside the south-metro area in which it plays a central role. The

airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of what’s now the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

Here’s a look at the highlights from its beginnings to today.

Beginnings in the 1960s • In 1960, the Federal Aviation Administration and Arapahoe County begin planning for a proposed reliever airport to ease congestion at Stapleton International Airport, the former airport that served Denver. The Stapleton area since redeveloped into retail and a residential neighborhood.

• The FAA and Arapahoe County officially announce the proposal for airport development in 1963. Construction begins in 1967 with $1.6 million from the Federal Airport Aid Program for the purchase of 380 acres of land.

• That August, Lou Clinton, of Clinton Aviation, signs a 30-year lease, becoming the airport’s first fixed-base operator. Emily Howell, who would become the first woman captain of a scheduled United States commercial airline, becomes head of Clinton’s flight-training program.

• The Arapahoe County Airport — Centennial Airport’s original name — officially opens May 12, 1968. Local newspapers report more than 20,000 in attendance. Aerobatic pilot Dick Rutt cut the first ceremonial ribbon with the wing tip of his plane. At the time, there are 98 aircraft based at the airport.

• In 1969, aircraft-parking areas and connecting taxiways expand. The airport acquires an additional 404 acres of land and begins adding a crosswind runway. At the time, 165 aircraft are based at the airport.

On the rise in the 1970s • The airport’s first firehouse is built, and the crosswind runway is completed in September 1970. In 1971, the airport acquires more land for a 1,000foot extension of its current runway, building a parallel runway and adding a parallel taxiway.

• The Columbine Airport, located in the Littleton area, closes in July 1973.

• The air-traffic control tower is selected as the FAA Rocky Mountain Region Terminal Air Traffic Facility of the Year in 1974.

• The Denver Tech Center, located to the northwest, adds more office, residential, retail, hotels and infrastructure throughout the decade.

• The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is created during a public hearing held June 9, 1975, under the Public Airport Authority Act, making the airport a separate legal entity.

Arapahoe County transferred the title to the airport land and improvements to that new body.

Changes in the 1980s • In 1983, the control tower becomes a 24-hour facility. Planning for “Project 85,” the airport’s long-range development plan, begins.

• The airport officially changes its name in 1984 to Centennial Airport, a name adopted by the Airport Authority to reflect growth, and as a hat tip to Colorado’s nickname, the Centennial state.

• Douglas County receives representation on the Airport Authority Board in the form of three newly added members in 1984.

• A formal dedication for a new control tower and administration complex is held in 1985.

• With 351,856 total aircraft operations and 926 based aircraft, Centennial Airport is ranked as the 11th busiest airport in the nation among all airports, including general aviation and commercial, in 1985.

Tumult in the 1990s • Challenges with residential encroachment, as well as arguments over commercial-airline service proposed by Texas entrepreneur John Andrews, would reach both the Colorado and U.S. supreme courts. The airport’s annual federal funding would be suspended after the board refused to lift its ban on scheduled-passenger service — in other words, commercialairline flights, like those on a major airline, such as Southwest Airlines.

Forward in the 2000s • The airport finds relief through a deal with the federal government that restores annual federal funding for maintenance projects.

• Robert Olislagers, the airport’s current executive director, is hired.

• “By far, my favorite moment at Centennial Airport was in 2002 when our communities got together and, with the support of the Colorado congressional

ABOUT THE AIRPORT

Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed a proclamation declaring May 25, 2018, as Centennial Airport Day, calling the airport “a proven model for general-aviation airports around the world.”

The airport celebrates its 50th-anniversary gala May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver, headlined by Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Tickets went for $250 each, and proceeds will go to benefit the Centennial Airport Foundation.

An economic hub, the airport generates an annual economic impact of $1.39 billion, and the airport and associated businesses pay an estimated $33 million in taxes each year to local municipal and county partners.

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

It is not located in the City of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest generalaviation airports in the country. delegation led by then U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, we managed to carve out legislation that settled the airline issue here at the airport,” Olislagers said. “It was a huge win for the airport and our communities. Our civic leaders, citizens and the airport got on the same page to do something extraordinary that had never been done before or since. It goes to the power of presenting a united front.”

Going strong in the 2010s • Centennial Airport marks its 50th birthday in 2018 debt-free.

• Total aircraft operations in 2017 are about 340,000, and based aircraft total about 1,000.

Two people killed in crash near Franktown identified

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado State Patrol has released the names of two people killed in a two-vehicle crash May 20 on Highway 83, about eight miles south of Franktown.

Festus Poyner, 32, of Green Mountain Falls, and Julee Davis, 32, also of Green Mountain Falls, were both declared dead at the scene of the crash, which happened shortly after noon.

Both were wearing their seatbelts, according to Trooper Josh Lewis, of the Colorado State Patrol.

A 2-year-old boy was also in the vehicle, strapped in a car seat, and

was transported from the scene to Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree.

His condition was not available.

A 26-year-old man from Aurora and 24-year-old woman from Thornton were transported to local hospitals with life-threatening injuries. Neither was wearing a seatbelt. Their names have not been released.

According to Lewis, a 2016 Ford pickup, in which the unidentified motorists were traveling, was heading southbound on Highway 83, and attempted to pass multiple cars in a no-passing zone.

The pickup struck a 2003 Toyota SUV that was traveling northbound head-on.

VOICES Life may not be predictable, but graduation speeches are

T

he invitations have gone out, and once again I didn’t receive one.

QUIET I wasn’t asked by a single DESPERATION high school, college, or university in the United States to give their commencement speech, even though I promised not to use the words “doom” and “apocalypse.”

I have a doozy too.

I’ve been told you Craig Marshall have to start with a joke. I have one Smith about Ted Nugent.

“What’s the difference between Ted

Nugent and a laundry bag full of frozen underwear?”

I figure I haven’t been invited because I am a no-name who can’t be trusted.

One school told me they were worried I might tell students the truth.

I am not losing sleep because I haven’t been invited. I’m not a big believer in ceremonies in the first place, but The People seem to love them.

And if no one in your family has earned a high school or college degree before, it’s undoubtedly very meaningful.

My elementary school in Fullerton, California, had a ceremony for those of us who had mastered sixth grade. I remember sitting there with a frown

on my face.

Graduation ceremonies in films are often depicted with derision. The speaker is boring and the students are disinterested.

Speakers often try too hard to say something profound.

“Nothing in life is guaranteed. You have to earn it.” That kind of thing.

Some speakers sermonize.

“You are all sinners in the hands of an angry God.” That kind of thing. I would walk out.

After the Nugent joke, I would read a few quotes: Lewis Carroll, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx.

I would do a loud and obnoxious promotion for Flex-Seal, just like the ones on television.

The courage of encouragement helps us brave life’s problems

uilding upon last week’s column about yesterday’s achievements becoming our successes of tomorrow, I wanted to share WINNING more about the WORDS power of encouragement and the courage to become an encourager, a life lifter, and a true difference maker in this world.

Last week I shared how someone early in my life had encouraged me and Michael Norton motivated me in one certain area of my life many years ago. And I have been so blessed to have many more encouragers, life lifters, and people of positive influence who inspire me and who continue to make a difference in my life each and every day.

But you see, that was not always the way it was for me. And unfortunately, that is not the way it is for many of us in this world, too many of us. Instead of having people in our lives who give us hope and encouragement, we sometimes have people who want to tear us down and discourage us. And the

All seriousness aside, I have a small request. If you or your kid is graduating, don’t send an announcement to an edge-acquaintance who hasn’t heard from you in four years.

It’s an insult.

It just might look like you are beggaring a gift.

I’m not sure why we give gifts to the students anyhow. Instead of their teachers.

The word “commencement” means “to begin,” not “to conclude.”

problem is that sometimes they don’t even know they are doing it. They only do it because that was the way they were treated, that was the way they were spoken to, that was the way they grew up. These are the people who were told that life is tough and anyone who tells you differently is lying. So instead of becoming encouragers themselves, they fell into the trap of becoming a discourager. We need to break that cycle.

What we need is the courage to become an encourager and break the cycle of negativity and pessimism in the world. Can you imagine living in a community, working in an office, or being a part of a congregation where everyone lifted one another up all the time? Can you imagine living in a family where hopes and dreams are the topics of conversations instead of yells and screams? Why don’t we or why can’t we shift gears from the negative to the positive? It’s because we lack the courage to act differently, say things differently, and hope things differently with those we love, who we live with, work with, and worship with.

Laydon is right choice I have lived in south metro Denver for more than 40 years, with the past 15 years being in Douglas County.

I love our community and what we do to protect conservative ideals, but one thing has become abundantly clear to me, we need a fresh perspective in local government.

I am tired of seeing the same politicians play musical chairs with county offices, particularly career politicians like Diane Holbert. It is time for an outsider to join the mix and bring a fresh perspective to Douglas County government. That is why I’m

voting for Abe Laydon for county commissioner.

Abe is an extremely accomplished attorney in the private sector, who has dedicated his free time to serving nonprofits throughout the city, as well as the Douglas County Republicans and Douglas County Planning Commission.

He exemplifies what you would want in your county commissioner — he brings new ideas and solutions to the table based on his ample public service and private sector experience, he is here to serve and to give us a voice, he doesn’t have any conflicts of interest with other family members employed by the county, and he is the most qualified candidate for the job.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

you know right now, right this very minute, can use a dose of hope and encouragement. And what they really need is for you to have the courage to do it and to be the one to lift them up.

I have the honor and privilege to call Dr. Denis Waitley a coach, a mentor, and above all, a friend. Twenty years ago, Denis told me that I was the most proactive person he had ever met in his life. And that he saw that trait as one of the key reasons I was meeting with success. Well, do you know that here I am 20 years later, and I intentionally focus on being proactive in all that I do? And it serves me extremely well.

But Denis encouraged me back then and it made a huge difference in my life. Who has had the courage to encourage you? What was the outcome?

I’ll bet there has been a difference maker in your life for sure.

“You’ve got this.” “I believe in you.”

“I’ll bet today is going to be the best day ever.” “I am so proud of you.” “I

“You hare handling this tough situation really well, keep it up.” “I love you.” “Your work on this project was extraordinary — I cannot wait to see what you will do next.” Try these, say them with sincerity, don’t be afraid, come up with others of your own, but have the courage to encourage and be a difference maker in someone’s life.

You can do this, I believe in you. You are going to be a difference maker in this world, I can just see it now.

So how about you? Are you providing others with hope and encouragement? Are you a life lifter and difference maker? Do you have people in your life that are lifting you up? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can have the courage to encourage others, it really will be a better than good week.

Good point on pay I second Smith Young’s letter to the editor printed in last week’s edition.

I do not begrudge the pretty good pay and all the vacation breaks teachers get.

Teaching is exhausting and requires an equal or greater amount of class prep time as well as constant curriculum tweaking.

I’m happy teachers get summer breaks to recharge and upgrade their skills. It is the vocation they chose, and I appreciate them.

However, they are well paid, respected, and, as pointed out by Smith Young’s letter, make good money — with benefits and a generous retirement.

Remember the

fallen

Events offer a chance to honor sacrifice

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

emorial Day is just one day a year, and as Louetta Smith, director of the annual Denver Memorial Day Tribute event, sees it, it’s not too much to ask to take a few minutes during the day to remember those who have served the country.

“Like a lot of people, for a long time I never really thought of Memorial Day like I should,” she remembered.

“But I started getting involved in the

tribute, and that reminded me of the importance of gratitude for those who gave their lives for all of us.”

There’s a lot going on during Memorial Day weekend, as it has long served as the unofficial opening weekend of summer. People looking to spend time outside are spoiled for choice, and even while doing something like participating in a beer run, a community picnic, or even a huge Nerf battle, events like the tribute remind people what the day is all about.

The first Denver Memorial Day Tribute event was held on Memorial Day 2000 by Deb Ellis, following the death off her World War II vet father.

The event started out with more of a fair atmosphere, but 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror changed the vibe of the tribute. It became an event about the Gold Star families.

“I had attended the City and County of Denver’s Memorial Day Parade and I remember at the time being amazed that the parade was so poorly attended. The country seemed so complacent about military sacrifice — past or present,” Ellis said. “This year, there are more than 40 families that will attend the Tribute, and they

come from all over Colorado.”

The Tribute is now held indoors at the POF Hall, 1340 Sherman St. in Denver, just south of the Capitol, and will go from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 26. The event will feature musical tributes from the U.S. Navy Band Northwest Brass Quintet, soloist Rosemary White, violist Valerie Reives and more.

Then, there will be a seven-wreath remembrance ceremony honoring veterans and the fallen from all wars and presentations to the Gold Star families who have lost a loved one since the war on terror, complete with names, biographical information and a Navy bell tolling.

The ceremony is free and open to the public.

Those looking to show appreciation in a quieter way can volunteer at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 W. Kenyon Ave., to help lay flowers at the graves. The flower laying begins at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, May 28.

“It feels like Memorial Day has lost a lot of its meaning for many people,” Smith said. “It helps to remember what this day is for amidst everything that is happening over the weekend.”

hen most people come across creatures like a spider or a centipede, they l probably don’t pause to e appreciate the tools that enabled these a m animals to survive for millions of t years. t But spend a little time at the Butterfly Pavilion’s new survival exhibit, e and one will be able to learn all about p the adaptability of these surprising r animals. The Butterfly Pavilion, 6252 W. 104th Ave. in West-r COMING minster, unveiled its i ATTRACTIONS new “Survival” ex- e hibit in March, and h it will be on display t s for about a year.

“These animals have developed some o d amazing survival methods over count- v less years,” said pa- w vilion entomologist p Mario Padilla. “In- o Clarke Reader stead of being stuck J in a box, we want to p give visitors a chance to see how our animals move, feed and interact with o a their environment.” p The exhibit provides an intimate look at how a variety of invertebrates S t have developed survival skills in a variety of areas, focusing on moving, o hiding, feeding and fighting, all in pursuit of a simple goal — staying alive. t The interactive exhibit shows how r b creatures like bees, beetles, spiders and more use camouflage, venom and s c other skills to eat, evade predators and attract mates. Visitors will get to b use a dragonfly launch pad, fight in a simulated beetle battle, and get hands- a b on with Rosie the Tarantula. m “We think it’s really important to provide those hands-on experiences to r visitors,” Padilla explained. “We work r to ensure there’s a touch component tot t all of our exhibits.”

As is the case with everything the o t Butterfly Pavilion does, the hope is that visitors will come away with a greater appreciation for animals that so many people are afraid of or don’t understand.

“It’s taken millions of years for these animals to become what we recognize now,” Padilla said. “Not only do we hope our visitors appreciate these insects, but they also will want to do what they can to protect them.”

Stampede set to charge ahead

IF YOU GO The Elizabeth Stampede offers a plethora of events from its opening concert to its final rodeo.

Town’s signature event comes back for 54th time

May 31 Concert night • 5 p.m. to 10 pm — Vendor Alley open • 6:30 p.m. — Gates open • 7:30 p.m. — Concert, Stoney LaRue and Ned LeDoux

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The countdown to Elizabeth’s largest and longest-running event is underway. In just over a week, the son of a cowboymusic legend will kick off the four-day event, sending thousands of locals and travelers through mutton bustin’, a parade, 50 vendors, carnival rides and bull riding each day.

The Elizabeth Stampede rodeo returns on May 31 for its 54th year, offering all of the excitement and attractions that has earned it the approval of top bull riders and patrons, and some of the highest awards.

“What you’re going to see is one of the best professional rodeos in the nation in that little venue at Casey Jones Park, with the stands nestled in the pine trees, and the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains,” said Jace Glick, Elizabeth Stampede president.

With a competition of 550 other small-market rodeos across the nation, the Stampede has earned the Mountain States Circuit of the Year 16 times, among a number of other esteemed awards.

“We have the best cowboys in the business coming to our tiny rodeo; the baddest, brawniest bulls in the business,” Glick said. “Probably a third of our contestants have been to the big show before.”

The rurally located Stampede attracts professional riders because it starts earlier than most, being one of the first rodeos of the season. Plus, it is renowned for its cowboy hospitality as it feeds the riders and their families and is one of the only small rodeos in the nation to offer free medical assistance

June 1 First responders night and Elizabeth Stampede PRCA Rodeo • 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. — Vendor Alley open • 5 p.m. — Gates open • 5:30 p.m. — “Behind The Chutes” tour • 7 p.m. — Xtreme Bulls • 9:30 p.m. — Dance band, Christopher Thomas and the Branded, included with rodeo ticket, or $10 admission at the door

Steve Woolsey of Payson, Utah, takes a spin on a bull at last year’s Elizabeth Stampede in its sports medicine trailer.

“That’s just unheard of, and as a result we truly put on one of the best, unbelievable rodeo shows in the nation,” Glick said. “It’s magical. It’s cool.”

This marks Glick’s third year as president, and the Stampede’s third year bringing in a carnival and concert.

“If you know anything about Chris LeDoux, he’s a cowboy legend. We all grew up on his music,” Glick said of the musician who passed away in 2005.

“His son Ned LeDoux is now singing his stuff. That’ll be big this year.”

Board member Joanne Hoefer helped organize this year’s concert, which falls on May 31.

“We think the concert is going to be great this year,” Hoefer said. “Our opening act is Ned LeDoux and our headliner is Stoney LaRue. We have

reserved seating as well as standing room, which is down in front of the stage. All tickets are the same price and the concert is open to all ages.”

Although Elizabeth saw glimpses of pony races and cowboy gatherings as far back as the early 1900s, it wasn’t until 1937 that the town put on an organized amateur rodeo through the Elizabeth Commercial Association. Other occurrences, like World War II and funding challenges, halted the event over the decades leading up to 1966 when it was then branded Elizabeth Stampede. Since then, the rodeo has grown in size and events every year.

The June 1 rodeo honors first responders. June 2 is filled from morning until night with a parade, “Behind the Chutes” tours and rodeo performances, with proceeds going to the Stampede Foundation.

“We don’t strive in our organization to make money, but to include everyone in our community,” Glick said. “It’s important to share the bounty, so to speak. We take that money and pour it right back into the community.”

June 3 starts with cowboy church and ends with a final rodeo, honoring veterans.

As president, Glick said his favorite aspect of the rodeo is the opportunity to show good leadership by action and not words to his 275 volunteers.

“A beautiful part of that is an amazing amount of awesome friendships and relationships,” Glick said.

But his favorite event as a patron?

“The same thing for most people, bull racing or barrel racing — pretty girls going fast or people climbing up on a big ugly bull.”

exhibition — “Finding Home.” The exhibit features installations by three Denver artists whose artwork occupies three different rooms at the museum.

On display through July 8, the conceptual exhibition was created with the intent of starting a community dialogue about the ever-present and often tragic situation involving affordable housing in the region. The museum partnered with local governments to add depth and insight into the housing issue.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Taylor Swift at Sports Authority Field Colorado is a hot stop for touring musicians during the summer, which means concert goers are spoiled for choice when it comes to their evening plans. This week alone, you couldn’t go wrong with James Taylor at Fiddler’s Green on May 27, The Wonder Years

with Tigers Jaw and Tiny Moving Parts at the Ogden on May 30, or Gang of Youths at the Globe Hall on the same day.

But for my money, the best way to kick off the summer concert season is with one of pop’s reigning queens — Taylor Swift, who will be stopping by Sports Authority Field At Mile High, 1701 Bryant St., at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 25.

As if it wasn’t enough to have Swift, is who is undeniably a pop master of the highest order, she is bringing along Charli XCX and Camila Cabello. Last year, Charli XCX released two of pop’s best albums, by adding electronics and Swedish pop to her already insightful writing.

And this year Cabello stepped out of Fifth Harmony’s shadow, and her solo debut is one of my favorite albums of the year.

The concert is a guaranteed good time for all ages. Tickets are still available, so go to www.ticketmaster.com.

top of the rock troubadour pile, secondly only to Bob Dylan.

If his take on Irish folk wasn’t beautiful enough, his addition of jazz and soul sounds into everything he does adds a whole new layer of depth to his sound.

Unfortunately, he’s getting up there in years, and hasn’t really toured in a decade or more. And when he does, it costs an arm and a leg to score a ticket.

Thankfully, the Hi-Dive at 7 S. Broadway in Denver, is providing an alternative option with its Denver Plays Van Morrison concert at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 26.

The music of Van the Man will be performed that night by members of numerous local bands, including King Cardinal, Strange Americans, The Guestlist, Bud Bronson and the Good Timers, Sawmill Joe, Kid Reverie, Bison Bone, Bluebook, Robby Peoples, David Burchfield, Hunter James, and more.

Anyone who loves “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Have I Told You Lately?” and “Astral Weeks” won’t want to miss the show.

“It seems like people aren’t as interested as getting together as a community anymore,” said Jolene Rheault, public relations director with Community Builders.

“We want people to be proud of their community and know that everyone can get together to have a good time for something like Memorial Day.” Attendees are invited to bring a picnic or sample some of the wares at one of the largest gathering of food trucks in Highlands Ranch.

There will also be a beer and wine garden featuring selections from local breweries and wineries and live acoustic music.

There will also be traditional field day and carnival games, as well as a kickball and golf chipping contest that can be entered for cash prizes as well as prizes from local businesses.

“We’d like this to become an annual event we do for the community every summer,” Rheault added. “It was partly inspired by the field day that kids have at school, and we want to keep providing this kind of free event for kids

COURTESY PHOTO and their parents.”

Those searching for a little more active way to enjoy the outdoors won’t want to miss

the Memorial Day Nerf battle in Englewood. The event is for those 5 years old and older.

Hosted at Cornerstone Park, 5150 S. Windemere St., beginning at 10 a.m. on May 28, the event is a kind

of summer kickoff for Battle Zone — a mobile Nerf arena company since 2015.

Finally, something a little more adult happening over the weekend is the Red, White and Brew Run with Grist Brewing.

Rocky Mountain Brew Runs is hosting the event at Grist, 9150 Commerce Center Circle, Suite 300, in Highlands Ranch. The run begins at 10 p.m. on Sunday, May 27, and is designed to be open for everyone.

“This is a social fun run to celebrate the start of summer, and people can bring kids in a stroller and dogs, and just walk if they want to,” said Lauren Jones, event coordinator with Rocky Mountain Brew Runs. “We also have fun and silly beer Olympic games that are a lot of fun for people.”

The four-mile run finishes up with an ice-cold brew and food trucks, and all the proceeds benefit local nonprofits Epic Experience and Vet Expeditions.

“These kinds of events bring out more people than just some competitive 5K,” Jones said. “It’s fun to watch or participate in a familyfriendly, dog friendly event and then try some craft brews afterward.”

“To sum up into five qualities of who our dad is was difficult, but we felt that ‘compassion, excellence, integrity, perseverance and spirit’ were something our dad lived by every day we were blessed with his life,” said Katie. “This particular individual has exceeded in the classroom as well as on the field.”

Graefe said the tragedy has brought the lacrosse family together, and that Kirby and his family will always be a part of the lacrosse family.

“His death brought us even closer together,” said Graefe. “His legacy will be going on through these two awards.”

A memorial stands along Hess Road where John Kirby was killed by a distracted driver Nov. 27. Kirby’s family is having a memorial sign erected on the site.

Vintage 1990s video games inspire sculptor Steel and paint are mediums for expression in pieces on display at Denver Botanic Gardens

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sculptor Mike Whiting brings his memories of vintage 1980s video games (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc.) into another realm as a visitor finds his oversized images amidst the flowers, trees and shrubs that ordinarily inhabit the lush, green Denver Bo3 tanic Gardens/York Street grounds in the “Pixelated” sculpture exhibit. a Gardens CEO Brian Vogt, a Littleton native, spoke before a press tour: “The relationship between human life and the natural world dates back 5,000 years … the power of nature, Mike’s video games … The games manipulate that world.”

Whiting said: “I had to fill in the blanks! ... Really, the whole world is pixelated.”

The sculptor arrived to lead a tour appropriately attired in a floral-printed shirt.

At the entrance to DBG, one meets “Ghost and Castle,” (2016) two pieces created with paint and steel, as are all 11 of Whiting’s sculptures tucked into the Gardens. “They are a visual pal-

Mike Whiting’s Sculptures “Pinkie” and “Mr. Green” (steel and paint) are in the City of Denver collection, loaned to the “Pixelated” exhibit at Denver Botanic Gardens.

Whiting said these early works are particular favorites.

PHOTO BY SCOTT DRESSEL-MARTIN indrome,” he remarked as he started walking through his works, “the opposite of each other,” related to the game Castles.

“When developing ideas, I draw in Microsoft Paint,” Whiting said. “Then I go to a 3-D modeling program. The pieces are all welded from the inside, as well, and the finish is automotive paint for those under 1,000 pounds … I beat them up with sanders,” he added, wanting some rust to be part of the design.

“Bird” (2012), a very large avian image in robin’s egg blue, was commissioned for a bird-watching spot, he said, and the smaller, orange “Birdie” is exhibited at Brigham Young University (his school). “Buck” (2007) is tucked into a grove of trees, the sort of setting you’d imagine finding a deer, munching on plants and grass. Loaned by the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, it is scratched and “feels like an old pickup

truck,” Whiting observed. Asked if the scratches bothered him, he talked about “natural, but not nice …,” adding that “once sold, it’s not mine anymore.” A New York gallery owner bought one with graffiti, he recalled — “that’s part of the history…

“I grew up in the West, around lots of old cars …,” he said.

Along a path, reflected in the pond, one finds “Pinkie” and “Mr. Green” (2007), a pair of smaller sculptures, loaned by the City and County of Denver. They are old and scuffed — and two of Whiting’s favorites. “Mr. Green” is after Whiting’s father-in-law.

Whiting usually works on three or four sculptures at a time in his studio.

“The smaller pieces are harder to fabricate,” he added, “a challenge to weld from the inside.” The larger “Wave” (2018) was especially made for this exhibit and he was especially pleased with the siting of “Cactus” in the Rock Garden — “one of the most beautifully situated in the exhibit.”

It’s modeled after one he saw in a cactus house. Grasses connect with it visually and he was really thinking of a Tupperware color for “Wave,” as he created a page of drawings. “It was really hard to weld inside,’ he recalls.

Other pieces include the older, lavender “Pigeon,” a “Sailboat,” “Cathead” and “Garden Gnome” — of course!

Children will enjoy taking the photo guide that comes with a ticket and seeking each piece across the grounds — as will adults, actually …

Van Maanen snapping for chance to play in NFL

D Ponderosa junior Blake Wilton swims in a 200-yard freestyle preliminary heat at the 5A boys championships on May 18 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

STEFAN BRODSKY

Swimmers post strong showings at state STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek was third at the Class 5A state swimming championship to lead all teams from the south metro area.

The Bruins finished with 208.50 points, which was 82 points shy of state champion Regis Jesuit. Fossil Ridge was second in the team standings during the meet, which was May 18-19 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

Arapahoe was the fourth-place team, Highlands Ranch fifth and Ponderosa seventh.

At the Class 4A championships at the Air Force Academy, Valor Christian was the top area team with a sixth-place finish.

Junior Brendan Eckerman paced Cherry Creek with a second-place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 46.61 and placed fourth in the 200 IM in 1:52.57. Eckerman’s finish along, with Ponderosa’s Blake Wilton second place in the 100 butterfly, were the highest individual finishes in 5A for area swimmers.

Freshman Clayton Chaplin of Highlands Ranch was third in the diving competition as he totaled

539.45 points while Arapahoe’s Caleb Ives came in sixth.

Wilton, a junior, was second in the 100 butterfly with a time of 48.95 to edge Ty Coen of Regis for the runner-up spot. Wilton was seventh in the 200 freestyle.

The Arapahoe 200 medley relay team of Collin Hayes, Jack Berdahl, Josher Rowe and Ben Brewer was second with a time of 1:33.74.

Gavin Rogers was sixth in the 100 butterfly and the 500 freestyle to pace Valor Christian in the 4A state meet. Caleb Kim was seventh in the 50 freestyle.

Valor girls advance to soccer title game STAFF REPORT

Valor Christian advanced to the Class 4A state championship game with a semifinal victory on May 19, but Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon lost 5A semifinal games.

Valor, the second seed in the 4A state tournament bracket, beat Glenwood Springs 2-1 at Legacy Stadium and was scheduled to face top-seeded Windsor in the May 23 title game.

Sophomore Ryan Winningham had a goal and assist in the Eagles’ win.

Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon lost in games played May 19 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium.

Valor Christian’s Jenna Siebert heads the ball before several Glenwood Springs players can close in.

Valor defeated the Demons 2-1 in the CHSAA 4A semifinal May 19 at Legacy Stadium.

rew Van Maanen knew he was facing long odds heading into the three-day rookie camp of the National Football League Houston Texans in early May. First of all, the former Chaparral football standout was an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming.

And second, he is a fullback which is a disappearing position these days in the National Football League. But he is a long snapper and hoped his versatility might be attractive to the OVERTIME Texans or some other NFL team.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t get invited back,” said Van Maanen. “I really enjoyed my time down there. I was in an NFL locker room. I’m going to Jim Benton stay in shape and my agent will try to make something work out somewhere else. So it’s a waiting game right now.”

With spread offenses, many high school and college teams don’t regularly use fullbacks and many NFL teams have virtually eliminated the position. However, some teams still have prominent fullbacks, and flexibility is important.

Fullbacks play on special teams, block, carry the ball in short yardage situations and sometimes are secondary receiving targets.

Van Maanen was a four-year fullback at Wyoming and a backup long snapper until an injury forced him to snap full-time on special teams during his 2017 senior season.

He caught 14 passes for 170 yards in four years, ran the ball twice for five yards and was the team captain his senior season.

“Fullback is not a glorified position in the NFL,” said Van Mannen.

“It’s not used a whole lot. So I knew going in it was going to be a tough task. But long snapping is something even moving forward that I can bring to the table. I knew it was going to be a long road, but if you love the game, you give everything to try to make the team.

“I worked on snaps every day in practice at Wyoming. Anytime I can get on the field, I like that opportunity, no matter if is special teams, long snapping or fullback.”

Valor girls claim track title Athletes from schools in Douglas County excel at championship meet

1 s t b a C

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian coach Brian Kula knew his girls track team had the ability to be a championship contender.

He was right: The Eagles captured the Class 4A state title.

Valor’s team title was the finishing touch on the May 17-19 state track championships at Jeffco Stadium, which featured standout performances from athletes attending schools in Douglas County.

“The girls team was very strong this year,’ said Kula. “They were very talented and executed very well at the meet. Our boys really overachieved and did better than they were supposed to. The weather wasn’t ideal but our kids handled it well. They just went out sand competed.

“We kind of knew the girls would be in the mix with the kind of talent we had. I don’t think any of use necessarily thought we could win by that margin and have that kind of a point total because you kind of expect to have a couple hiccups. We didn’t miss too many steps.”

The weather was ideal the first day

s f S a t b

Valor Christian junior Anna Hall raises her hand after winning the Class 4A 300 hurdles on May 19 at the State high school track championships held at Jeffco Stadium. Hall also won the 100 hurdles and long jump and Valor Christian captured the 4A team title.

2 t of the meet, but by May 19, when a few t competitors had thoughts of going for s state records, it rained in the morning T b and a cold wind blew all afternoon.

It forced athletes to warm up longer i and avoid resting, which would cause A a muscles to tighten up. r IM BENTON

TRACK FROM PAGE 24

Valor Christian’s girls racked up 151.20 points compared to 114 for second-place Niwot. The Eagles boys team was fourth with 50 points, two behind second-place Pueblo South and 11.50 shy of state champion Silver Creek.

Junior Anna Hall set a short-lived state record and won three events for the Valor girls. Sophomore Cole Sprout was a double distance winner and Dane Palazzo tied for first place in the 300-meter hurdles for the Eagles boys team.

Class 5A state champions from Douglas County schools included double winners Emily Sloan of Rock Canyon and Jenna Fitzsimmons of Mountain Vista. Junior Drake Nugent of Highlands Ranch won again in the shot put, Devin Cadena of Rock Canyon was the champion in the 5A 100-meter dash and Landon Rast of Legend was the individual champ in the 800-meter run.

Senior Maya Evans won the 100- and 200-meter dashes in Class 3A plus the long jump for the Lutheran girls team and she wrapped up her high school career with eight state titles.

The three-time defending champion boys team was fifth in the team standings, but the 4x200 relay team of Luke Arkell, Jared Ammon, Samuel Ness and Kameron Varney set a state 3A record of 1:28.01 in winning the event.

“Maya is a special talent,” said Lutheran coach Darwin Horan. “She’s a good teammate and one of the

Rock Canyon’s Emily Sloan, right, wins her fourth straight 100-meter hurdles title at the state high school track meet May 17-19 at Jeffco Stadium. Sloan also won the 300 hurdles.

IM BENTON greatest athletes to ever participate in Colorado. We have a young squad of the girls side and we will be very competitive for years to come. On the boys side, we had a key injury to one of our top sprinters and we had a few missteps at the meet. We still battled to take fourth overall and did set the state record in the 4x2, which was set in 2002.”

Hall broke the state 300 hurdles record set by her friend Sloan with a 40.76 clocking in the 4A preliminary race on May 18. But Sloan came back a short time later in the 5A prelims with a 40.60 which was a new all-classification standard.

Both girls were looking forward to running even faster in the finals but the poor weather conditions put a damper on those thoughts.

Hall finished the meet first in the 4A 100 hurdles with a 14.12 time, won the 300 hurdles in 42.67 and captured the long jump in 18-9.75. She was also second in the 200-meter dash.

“I wish I could have won the 200 but she (Discovery Canyon’s Lauren Gale) was better than me. That happens.” said Hall. “I was happy with the meet and glad I was able to pick up 38 points for the team. In the hurdles I really went for it in the prelim race because I knew it was going to be the only day

with good weather. I hit my steps. I didn’t know what time I ran and then I looked at the board and it was awesome. With running the 300 my legs were a little sore in the finals. The final day was all about placing. I was just trying to do the best I could. It was all about points.”

Sloan, headed to Oregon to continue her track career, was especially happy to win the 300-meter hurdles after falling last year going over the final hurdle and crawling to a second-place finish despite having a big lead. She had won the 300 hurdles in 2016.

In the finals on May 19, Sloan won her fourth straight 100 hurdles state title in 13.59 and took the 300 hurdles in 41.42. She was second in the 200 meters.

“In the 300 finals, I hit my steps perfectly,” said Sloan. “It wasn’t a (personal record) but it felt good. Last year was a bummer. I was going so hard for the state record. I just had to forget about last year but I heard the announcer say in Lane 5, the state runner-up. That kind of fired me up. It was a good reminder.”

Sprout, the 4A cross country champion, set an all-time Colorado 3,200 record of 9:01.53 on May 4 at the Jeffco League championships. He captured state titles in both the 1,600 and 3,200 runs with respective times of 4:14.54 and 9:22.10. The 1,600 was held May 18 and the 3,200 on May 19.

“I was going for the record in the 3,200 and that was the goal but the weather wasn’t great,” said Sprout. “It was a tough race. Next year, I want to break the mile record and take down my 2-mile record. I’m looking forward to next year to see what I can do.’”
