Charity walk brings in donations, pizza and doughnuts

MY NAME IS

MELINDA FLORES

Driving from New Jersey to Colorado for love Jersey girl I moved here from New Jersey about two months ago, and I started working for Farmers Insurance on Mainstreet about two weeks ago. I really like all the people I work with, and we actually get to help the clients, it’s nice. Before this, I was a veterinary assistant, so the clientele’s a little different.

I moved out here to get married. My husband and I met online and had a long-distance relationship for about a year and a half.

We met in person a couple of months after we met online, and we saw each other about once a month.

Initially my family had a bit of a problem with it, but once they met him they were OK. Fresh powder, fresh start It’s beautiful here, and I’m looking forward to skiing and snowboarding.

There’s a little bit of that in New Jersey, but obviously it’s going to be so much better here. I also just went whitewater rafting for the first time.

I was never really set on sticking in New Jersey, but it’s always sad to leave your family and friends. I just felt like I needed a fresh start.

Otherworldly reading I like reading fantasy novels, my favorite is the “Harry Potter.” I like the book “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, and the “Game of Thrones” books.

I admire how fantasy writers can envision a

STAFF REPORT

Melinda Flores takes a break from her work at Farmer’s Insurance on Mainstreet to enjoy the gazebo at O’Brien Park. Flores recently drove from New Jersey to Colorado on her own and says that although she skiied in her former home state, she’s sure the slopes will be better in her new one. TOM SKELLEY completely different world and describe how people can live in such a place. It’s just really interesting to me what people can come up with.

Long-term hobby I like crocheting because I like being able to create something for someone. It’s interesting to find different patterns, I like shopping for yarn for three hours and I enjoy the repetitive aspect of it.

I’ve done baby blankets and other things that usually take a month or so, but right now I’ve been working on crocheting one blanket for over a year. It’s actually still in New Jersey, my parents are going to bring it out. It was going to be a gift, then I realized I really liked it so I put it on hold and crocheted another one for the gift.

Senator gets chided by constituents at town hall Cory Gardner caps off day of three town halls in Lakewood, his first in more than a year

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s constituents had a lot of questions for him at his first Denver metro area town hall in more than a year on Aug. 14 at Colorado Christian University’s event center in Lakewood.

But it was difficult for most to hear the Republican from Yuma over the boos and profanities he received over and over from the more than 300 attendees who filled the center.

“People of disparate party views can disagree and still work together,” Gardner said at one point, following a particularly raucous response to one answer. “Our country will be stronger when we’ll be able to listen to people we disagree with.”

The town hall in Lakewood was the final meeting in a series of three the senator held that day — the others were in Colorado Springs and Greeley.

A small group of supporters of President Donald Trump were stationed outside the Colorado Christian University event center, following a town hall with Sen. Cory Gardner on Aug. 15.

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER The town halls followed months of the Cardboard Cory Gardner campaign, where constituents, frustrated by Gardners lack of faceto-face meetings with residents, made six cardboard cutouts of the senator and took them to impromp-

tu town halls.

“It’s amazing he’s finally hosting a town hall, and I want to see what he has to say,” said Denver resident Amanda Mininger, before the town hall started. “He represents us, and he should be able to speak to us in person.”

Gardner faced questions and criticism from constituents on a variety of topics, ranging from relations with North Korea, Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and his support of President Donald Trump.

One thing Gardner received unanimous support for was his condemnation of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who incited violence in Virginia on Aug. 12, leaving one person dead and 19 injured.

“There is no moral equivalency between the two sides,” Gardner said at the beginning of the town hall, referencing the white supremacists and their counter protesters. “We have to fight racism and bigotry in our country. Any and all white supremacists should go back to their caves.”

Several attendees received standing ovations for asking questions about Gardner not supporting hate groups, but supporting a president who does not explicitly condemn them and has White House officials like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, who have been tied to white nationalist groups.

“I’m glad to see you giving real responses to questions, but how can you still support a president who puts people like that in power?” asked Denver resident Jonathan Rose.

In response, Gardner reiterated that hate groups are unacceptable, but said it wasn’t his place to ask the president to remove members of his staff.

Sen. Cory Gardner waits for a chorus of boos to die down after a question about Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during his town hall on Aug. 15.

Many voiced concerns about cuts to Medicare and the price of insurance if the ACA were to be repealed. One attendee was even ejected from the town hall because he wouldn’t stop screaming, “You’re taking our health care” over other peoples’ questions and Gardner’s answers.

But a couple conservative constituents also chided Gardner for his health care approach from the other side.

“I know the majority of people in this room are here to say the ACA should continue, but I want to remind you of who put you in your seat,” said one woman. “I want to know when you’re going to repeal and replace?”

Gardner also heard from constituents who wanted to ensure he would protect the state and world’s environmental health and sustainability.

“We have an incredible outdoor legacy, and I want to do right for my children,” Gardner said. “I do believe the (Environmental Protection Agency) has overreached at times. We shouldn’t be doing something if the cost outweighs the benefits.”

By the end of the hour-and-a-half town hall, the audience allowed Gardner to speak more completely, even if they didn’t like what they heard. And some issues weren’t brought up at all, like education.

“I wanted to ask what he was going to do to protect our Title I students,” said Angela Anderson, a Jeffco resident, referencing the many students who are on the free and reduced lunch program. “I also wanted to ask how we could work on educating our students about the damage that racism does to a society. So many don’t understand racism exists in ways for all of us.”

Many county services are available online at www.douglas.co.us Don Levy, CEO and founder of Redbarre, left, and Phillip Infelise, chief operations officer, talk over lunch at the Parker Garage on Aug. 16.

Q&A with Redbarre executives Officials discuss plans for film/tech campus in Parker

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Aug. 11 news conference at the state capitol in Denver to announce the 68-acre Redbarre Digital Media & Technology Campus in Parker made headlines around the state, with the promise of bringing 4,000 high-tech jobs and establishing the south metro area as a new player in the film and digital media industries.

Plans are still in the beginning stages, but town and county officials, as well as Gov. John Hickenlooper, expressed hope the 1.9 million-squarefoot campus, which will feature production studios and host retail, office and hospitality businesses, will also boost the local and state economy.

Redbarre’s CEO and founder is Denver resident Don Levy, and its chief operations officer is Phillip Infelise, who lives in Evergreen.

On Aug. 16, Levy and Infelise sat down with Colorado Community Media to discuss their plans for the campus, their optimal timeline for the project and why they chose to locate in the Compark area.

Incentives are part of any new development. While this project is self-funded through a private investor, what’s your strategy for using incentives to grow?

Infelise: One reason we decided to work with Parker is (officials) were suggesting innovative, creative ways to incentivize the project without relying on the state…

Don has always had the idea of taking profits and building a seed fund to incentivize film projects. If we can generate $2 million, in theory, we could then take that $1 million to attract small producers from L.A., New York. We’ll use that first incentive to show the broader industry that we’re serious.

No permits or site plans have been officially submitted yet. When are you hoping to begin the process?

Infelise: Presuming that we’re

about to start the master planning processes, we’re looking at the first permit beginning of quarter three 2018, so July 1 … With the construction processes, we’re looking at 36 to 42 months to complete construction.

What other goals beyond filmmaking do you have for the facility?

Infelise: I think that lost in the discussion is the tech backbone being created. Think broadband … We’re creating an extremely high-bandwith backbone (that will be used) beyond the feature film industry … Think medical imaging, social media.

Levy: The goal for the campus is to be able to handle the most demanding media projects… It could be social media, video games, virtual reality, mixed reality, we don’t care … What we’re really talking about is being able to handle large file sizes…

Beyond creating jobs at the studios, retail outlets and ancillary businesses, what other opportunities do you hope the campus will provide?

Infelise: On the education side of the equation, we’re looking at vocational training for tech-capable individuals, irrespective of if they have a college degree, we’re looking at internships with the Parker Performing Arts. School.

Levy: Most people learn on the job.

You really don’t have an opportunity to hone your skills until you’re working behind a world-class director or producer. What better way to have a positive impact than to come across the street and participate in commercials or a virtual reality project?

How did you decide to build the campus in Parker?

Levy: To be quite frank, we didn’t choose the area, the area chose us… We did some research and we learned that the town and the county were very probusiness … There are also a couple of fundamentals ... One is utilities. We’re right next door to a 150-megawatt substation, so we’ll have access to power on site.

Another is fiber access and data center access … There’s also a rich ecosystem of employees in this area.

New queen taking over in rodeo royalty program Candidates spend weeks preparing to compete for rodeo title

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Olivia Ary grew up idolizing Douglas County Fair and Rodeo royalty.

With their perfectly primped hair, makeup and western outfits, combined with the suave quality of their rodeo and horse riding skills, rodeo queens were her role models, Ary said.

Now, the 16-year-old Highlands Ranch teen is taking the helm as the 2018 Douglas County Rodeo Queen. The honor carries more weight than usual, as Ary will reign during the 100th anniversary of the county fair.

In taking on the role, she will begin a rotation of appearances, travel and weekend events representing the county — because although the 2017 fair and rodeo has closed its doors, being rodeo queen is a year-round commitment.

“It’s a huge year,” Ary said of the centennial anniversary. “It definitely adds pressure but it’s exciting pressure.”

Before Ary rose to the ranks of queen, she was one of 12 girls competing for princess, queen and their attendants. Girls from both the high school and collegiate age level vied for a title by spending weeks in preparation.

Ary said she spent two hours in the arena practicing her horsemanship skills, four or five days a week.

But aside from horsemanship, candidates are tested for knowledge of their horse and the industry — such as certain vaccinations, types of feed, horse health and anatomy. They’re given a written test, interviewed by judges and asked to perform a speech.

Ultimately, the competition is an hours-long process where candidates prove they are the best person to represent Douglas County.

Ahead of the pomp and circumstance of the county fair, the program hosted two practices for the rodeo queen competition. On July 10, candidates arrived to the county fairgrounds with black, brown, gray and painted ponies in tow, ready to sharpen their horsemanship skills under the watchful eye of rodeo coaches.

They donned cowboy hats and shining belt buckles. They paired jeans with Western style shirts. All looking the part, the girls first circled their horses around Debbie Mills, a co-coordinator of the rodeo royalty program.

“We’re really honored that you would do this,” Mills said, before explaining that receiving a title would be a big commitment. “This is a job.”

In the next couple hours, despite rain spitting down on them, the girls drove their horses through riding patterns mapped out by instructors who carefully critiqued their form and technique, pointing out errors a judge might see.

A rodeo queen must smile at all times while riding in the arena, coaches said. And so the girls flashed their best grins as they waved to an imaginary crowd, all the while riding

their horses in large circles and more complex patterns.

Mills’ goal, she said, was to make the competition judges’ decision very difficult.

When the big day came on July 23, the girls had put in hours, days and weeks preparing.

One girl asked a nearby competitor: “You ready?”.

“I think so, but you can never be too sure,” she replied.

In front of a crowd of family and friends, candidates entered the arena one at a time for the horsemanship round. They showcased their ability to start and stop their horse, change directions and complete what’s known as a “hot lap,” or a fast lap around the arena along the fence.

Some horses — including Ary’s — gave their riders trouble, not wanting to smoothly complete their pattern. But that was OK. Judges don’t worry about if a horse performs perfectly. They know each animal reacts to crowds differently.

What they watched was how the rider responded. Regardless of how the ride when, each girl was cheered on by her fellow competitors.

“I think I learned a lot about support and companionship,” Ary said. “Seeing that sense of community, even though were all competing.”

Helping to lead girls through the competition was the 2017 Rodeo Queen, Emily Wormington. The 17-year-old senior at Highlands Ranch High School was preparing to relinquish her title after a transformative year, she said.

“I started out as a really shy child and when I started trying out for royalty it really boosted my confidence,” she said.

Wormington also served as rodeo princess in 2015. Through her participation in the program, Wormington said

Olivia Ary, who was crowned as the 2018 Rodeo Royalty Queen, practices a fast lap around the arena during a July practice held ahead of the rodeo royalty competition. she is a better speaker and has already begun networking in fields she’s considering as a career thanks to connections she gained as queen.

Most importantly, being queen was about tradition and getting out of her comfort zone, she said.

“Rodeo is a sport for the past, present and future that many have worked hard to establish. One of my goals as queen was to make sure that the tradition can stay alive,” she said. “I’ve left with so many new friends and memories that will last a lifetime. And the contacts that I’ve made, I know that they will help me throughout my life.”

Wormington hopes to one day compete for Miss Rodeo Colorado, and she wouldn’t be alone if she did. Roxann Harris, co-coordinator for the program,

Debbie Mills, a co-coordinator for the Douglas County rodeo royalty program, says they make sure all girls competing for a title understand being queen or princess is a year-round committment. said many girls in Douglas County go on to pursue bigger rodeo pageant titles.

And, they grow as individuals.

“By this time next year they’re a completely different person,” she said of the rodeo royalty court. “Their whole persona has changed and they just walk into these young women who are so confident.”

Ary has already improved her confidence. She’d been most nervous for the public speaking portion of the competition, she said, but was relieved when she made it through.

Now, she’s aiming to be the role model she looked up to, for the younger kids who are now watching her wear the crown.

“I want to do the best job that I can,” Ary said. “It’s going to be a really good year.”

Q&A with school board candidate Chris Ciancio-Schor Douglas County Board of Education District D

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note: This is one in an ongoing series of Q&As with each of the candidates for the Douglas County School District Board of Education.

Chris Ciancio-Schor grew up in Welby, a rural Adams County community, where she worked on a vegetable farm in the summers.

The Castle Rock resident has four children and six grandchildren, all of whom attend or attended Douglas County schools.

Ciancio-Schor, 62, has been an educator since 1977.

She taught in the Douglas County School District and was an assistant principal at Rock Ridge Elementary in Castle Rock, an assistant principal at Pine Lane Primary in Parker and served as the principal at Castle Rock Elementary.

She has also worked in Mapleton Public Schools in Adams County

and currently works on a contract basis for Mapleton as a mentor and trainer for teachers and administrators.

Ciancio-Schor will be running for the District D seat, which includes portions of Castle Rock as well as the Franktown area.

District D’s seat is held by board Vice President CiancioJudith Reynolds, who Schor was first elected in 2013.

Reynolds has not said whether she will seek re-election.

Why did you decide to run?

I have six grandchildren at Castle Rock schools and my four children went to school in Douglas County.

I love Douglas County and I love the educational community.

I decided that it was a good time in my life to run for school board.

With my six grandchildren going to school here, I think its kind of important that I’m invested.

What are the most important issues facing the school district?

We need to prioritize our student needs. So, academic achievement,

career education, vocational education, our special education and health services in our school district, as well as classroom resources.

The other key issue I see is that we need to retain and recruit quality teachers and principals.

Restoring trust.

We need to provide support and training for teachers. We need to build strong relationships between the school district, schools and parents.

Also in the top three would be restructuring school district budget expenditures to provide new buildings and capital improvement needs.

The board has been divided in recent years. How would you help bridge that divide?

I’ve worked specifically in working with people and collaborating on many issues, but especially educational issues.

I have a lot of experience doing that. Once we all focus on what students need in our district, and we have that end result, I think we’ll be able to collaborate and have respectful discussions. I think we

can do that.

Would you be supportive of a bond or mill levy to bring more funding to the district?

I would need to continue to listen to our parents and our teachers for additional guidance.

At this time, I would support a bond and mill levy to support our school buildings and capital improvement needs. It also supports the retention and recruitment of high-quality teachers.

It also helps support the academic achievement of kids. I’d like to gather some more information and data, but it looks likely.

What do you want people to know about you?

I’m a life-long educator and I was born in Colorado. I have deep commitment to this community and to education.

I grew up in a rural community.

I have a background that I think will benefit our school district.

I’m committed to listening to our parents, our kids and our employees. I’m committed to serving them and to meeting the needs of our kids.

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Littleton above the railroad tracks, the Colorado Center for the Blind goes unnoticed by many. But the school, housed in an old YMCA, is world-famous among blind people, who strive for years to attend the center’s intensive nine-month program that builds confidence along with life skills.

The center offers an array of classes, from using technology to reading braille to self-defense and woodworking.

But the most important thing the center teaches is self-assurance.

“We want our students to feel good about being blind,” said Julie Deden, the center’s executive director. “People think it would be so terrible to be blind, but we don’t think anything of it.”

The center, at 2233 W. Shepperd Ave., received a perfect

Joining the school was a dream come true for Jayaram Lamichhane, a 21-year-old from Nepal. He’s been at the school for four months.

“It’s frustrating to be blind in Nepal,” Lamichhane said.

“Your parents treat you badly.

Getting around The Independence Training Program is the cornerstone of the school’s offerings — an immersive nine-month program focused on home management, technology, braille literacy, and “cane travel” — the use of a long white cane to walk around.

Cane travel is the most visible of the center’s activities, with students roaming Littleton and the greater Denver area practicing wayfinding and public transit. Students who still retain partial sight often wear “sleepshades,” eye masks that totally occlude light, in order to prepare them for a possible future of total blindness.

“Our goal is for people to go anywhere in the world they want to go,” said David SEE SCHOOL, P9

Nietfeld, a cane travel instructor. “We start off with the basics, sending people around the center, using stairs and doors. Then we go to the bus station. Then we go to taking buses and trains and crossing different kinds of intersections, including Santa Fe. We often know the city better than sighted people, because we memorize the street grid. People using GPS can’t even paint a picture in their mind where they’re going.”

An advanced lesson is called a “drop project,” where students are driven in circles and dropped in a mystery spot in the city, given a flip phone, and instructed to find their way back to the center.

The final project is to travel solo to four different cities in the metro area in a day using public transit, and visiting a place of interest in each city.

Tech skills A computer for the blind looks odd — there’s no monitor or mouse. But for the center’s students, it’s an essential life tool.

“We do everything from keyboarding to programming, but mostly it’s stuff in between,” said Chris Parsons, a technology teacher. Her classes cover word processing, email, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and beyond.

“I’ve had students who wanted to make websites. I had another who wanted to make an audio game.

Reading and writing In the 1960s, almost half of blind children learned braille — “reading” raised dots on a page with their fingers — but today it’s only one in 10, said Dan Burke, the center’s public relations specialist.

“A blind person who can’t read braille is illiterate,” Burke said. “It’s become a crisis. We’re working hard on changing it.”

In Jennifer Spears’ braille class, students run their fingertips over what appear to be blank pages.

“People think braille isn’t important anymore because of technology,” Spears said. “But there are so many uses, especially reading signs in public. Plus, if you know braille, you’re more likely to be employed.”

At the table with Spears’ students, Mickey Payne sat punching a braille slate with a stylus, writing each letter and word backward so it would be right when she flipped it over.

“This means a lot to me,” Payne said.

“I can read and write now.”

Among braille’s limitations are how much size it takes up. The center’s braille library’s dictionary is 72 volumes. “Gone with the Wind” takes up nine huge binders.

The center offers classes beyond the core skills. Students in the woodworking class use power saws, drills and hammers to build a variety of furnishings and projects.

“I’m finishing up a cake stand,” said Libby Connor of Arizona, tapping footers into an elegant stand composed of locally harvested cottonwood. “First I cut the logs to size with a chain saw, then I sanded it down and now I’m just putting it all together.”

Other classes and events include art, rock climbing, skiing, canoeing, and whitewater rafting.

For those who had sight into adulthood, the center is a lifesaver.

“I went blind my senior year of college,” said Kosy Asabere, 28, from Pennsylvania. “I had to stop going because I just didn’t have the skills. I couldn’t use a computer, I couldn’t read my textbooks. I didn’t know how to get to class.

I was just stuck. The center gave me the tools to go back and finish. I feel like I can go for my master’s too. I came here for the tech skills, and now I’ve learned to program. I found my calling here.”

Public learns, too The center aims to educate the public

as well, Burke said.

“One of the biggest misconceptions about the blind is that we don’t know where we are,” Burke said. “My person is not as private as a sighted person.

People might grab my hand without asking, thinking I need help.”

Deden said the public could stand to appreciate the blind better.

“The unemployment rate among blind people is 70 percent,” Deden said.

“We need the public to understand that blind people are very valuable, and to give blind people an opportunity and a chance.”

Deden said many blind people rely on Social Security and Medicaid. She said 80 percent of the center’s students go on to college, vocational training, or jobs.

Chaz Davis, who graduated at the end of July, will go on to graduate school at the University of Denver.

“Right now I’m making a big meal for everyone to celebrate my last day here,” Davis said, chopping veggies and herbs for curry chicken salad wraps. “I lost my sight about 3 1/2 years ago. It was a genetic thing I didn’t know I had. I was in the middle of college and didn’t know how to navigate life.”

Davis said he was a runner in college, but didn’t let blindness stop him — he competed in the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year.

“I feel extremely independent now, and that’s what it’s all about. There are so many blind people who are confined to their blindness because they don’t have the skills to travel, to be employed. That’s what they teach here. So many people who have come through this program have gone on to great things.”

Want to understand education? Try being a teacher — that’ll learn you QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

hree little words — “back to school” — have the impact of hundreds, including, “Oh, no.”

I think I was supposed to dread it, but inwardly I looked forward to strapping on my button-down shirts and khakis and returning to the classroom.

My educational path was a lesson in American geography. I attended eight schools in four states. My father was either transferred or promoted. At least, that’s what he said.

Maybe we were one step ahead of the feds.

A new school year always meant my mother and father would give me a couple of new shirts, and something else: a three-ring binder with a blank, blue canvas cover.

Budding artists will draw or paint on anything that is blank. My new binder was my annual opportunity to show off.

Late summers were spent considering the new school year’s drawing. I understood that pencil drawings smeared, and markers didn’t exist. That left me with ball-point pens.

The majority of my drawings featured animals, like wolverines and bruins.

The animals didn’t stop there: I studied with Miss Bird and Mrs. Hare. Miss Bird was 100 years old (that’s what we all thought), and a caricature of mean-natured, elderly schoolmarm.

Mrs. Hare was as meek as her name. She was in her first year of teaching, and in her

first year of marriage. Double jeopardy. I hope she was more successful at home.

Back then, schools provided just about everything we needed — except for binders and Pee Chees.

Things have changed.

One Jefferson County school asked every student to bring five dozen pencils, because of the school’s low supply.

Costs overall have rocketed. One article (The Denver Post) stated, “In the last decade, the price of supplies and extracurricular activities increased by 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle SEE SMITH, P11

he contrarian point of view here could have been “Enabling Meanness,” but really, who really wants to focus on being mean instead of being kind anyway? I guess perhaps we can accept the fact that some people have a mean streak, or they are mean-spirited, or maybe they have just become a selfproclaimed meanie over time.

As I wrote this column the question I found myself asking was: Why do some folks choose to be mean instead of being kind? Why do some people look so hard for the bad that they completely miss the

smallest bit of good and kindness right under their noses? Is it because we have fostered a culture of meanness at home or at work? Do we enable and permit people to be mean to us and to others for the sake of maintaining a very unhealthy relationship? Or have we lost our nerve and just accept any behavior so we don’t rock the boat, even if it is mean behavior?

What’s the incentive?

I have been reading/seeing a lot about the Town of Parker’s plans to build a 70-acre digital/film campus that could create 4,000 jobs. Wow! As far as Hollywood being a “monolith” that stopped a long time ago. What’s missing in all the hype I’ve seen so far is tax incentives for production companies to come to Colorado.

Canada took on Hollywood decades ago with tax incentives. You can’t walk more than a few blocks in Vancouver without coming upon some film or TV series in production. The same goes for Toronto.

Here in the United States, Georgia is rapidly becoming a major production center for productions like “Ozark,” “The Walking Dead” and the “Hunger Games,” just a few of the hundreds of films and TV series being shot there. Georgia offers qualifying productions a 20 percent tax credit, plus an additional 10 percent credit for embedding a Georgia promotional logo in the film title or credits.

Canada has offered similar incentives for decades. It’s why “Fargo” is shot in Alberta.

There was much hoopla a while ago about a TV series to be shot in southwest Colorado. Gov. Hickenlooper was there for that announcement too. But it didn’t pan out. Other states offered better deals.

I feel bad for poor Wyoming. “Wind River” is set in Wyoming, but was filmed in Utah. “Longmire” is also set in Wyoming but filmed in New Mexico.

Parker’s plans seem to be along the lines of “If we build it they will come.” The reality should be if we offer tax incentives, maybe they will come.

But get in line behind other states who’ve beat you to the punch.

So let’s simmer down with the hype and start dealing in reality. Is Colorado ready to get real in attracting film companies?

kindness. You see, we get to choose, don’t we? Sometimes we have to accept sadness just like sometimes we know that bad things do happen to even the best of people. Yet even with that said, we never have to accept being treated meanly by anyone, especially when we can choose to empower kindness and receive kindness.

Kindness is and should be a two-way street. Most times we do get back what we give out, not 100 percent of the time, but my experience tells me most times. When we say hello, we usually get a hello back. When we smile, most times we get a smile back. When we are courteous to others we are typically greeted with courtesy in return.

Again, not always, there are times

am glad it is not on YouTube. I think I said, “I am the walrus. Goo goo goo joob,” and dismissed them.

Much later on in my career, I walked around the classroom on opening day with a sense of command and a sense of humor.

I’d tell them I learned to draw in “Pencil-vania,” and wait for the laughter to die down.

I’d tell them that Van Gogh had a good ear for music.

When I was in high school, art classes were perceived as a ver-

sion of recess. However, college art classes are far from it (or should be) and that often surprised my incoming freshmen.

I enjoyed seeing their eyes widen when I handed them the nine-page syllabus.

I heard gulps.

Do I miss teaching? Yes and no.

Yes, because I worked with some very talented, intelligent, involved, and hard-working artists and scholars.

No, because I worked with the op-

posite, and too many students who were grade-driven and often gradeobsessed.

Increasingly, faculty were expected to do a hill of accountability paperwork.

And not only that, most collegelevel drawing students are a little sketchy.

where we try our best to be polite and kind only to be met with the unpleasantness and wrath of someone who chose to be mean that day.

And I don’t know about you, but one of my very favorite things to observe is watching an interaction between two people where one person is berating the other person, thinking that a tone of anger and rising voice will get them what they want. And yet the other person remains calm, confident, helpful and rooted in kindness. Two people, same conversation or interaction, and yet one chooses to be mean while the others chooses kindness.

Which one are you? Which one do you want to be?

Kindness is a behavior. Kindness is an attitude. Kindness is a choice. Kindness is all around us if we just look for it and are open to receiving it.

One of my favorite quotes when it comes to kindness is this one by Wil-

liam Penn, “I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there may be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I may do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

How about you? Does it depend on the day or even the moment if you choose kindness or is kindness part of your everyday being? Either way

I would love to hear your kindness story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can remember that kindness is a choice, it really will be a better than good week.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Fresh faces, ideas needed We’ve all heard it a million times: politics has no place in education. Yet, politics is exactly what we’ve seen on the school board in recent years. Many of our board members have lost their focus on students, consumed instead by political warfare against their colleagues. It’s time for a change.

Our district should have one, overarching goal: to deliver the education that our parents have always dreamed of for their kids and that will fuel our future. We need to reclaim our Accredited with Distinction status and ensure that any of our struggling schools and students have the support they need to succeed. We need to ensure that every school leader is empowered to make decisions for the benefit of students, not as the result of political ties or pressure. And we need to make sure we maintain our focus on kids at all costs.

We’ve drifted too far from the real reason we all care about education.

We need to restore that focus, and I believe only a strong leadership team with a fresh perspective can do that.

I believe the Elevate Douglas County slate (Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson) can offer that perspective. After what we’ve been through, I’m ready for some fresh faces, new ideas, and much-needed stability.

Act brings needed support There are 244,000 people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. As someone who has served in this role, I am proud to support the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. Recently reintroduced in Congress, and supported by the Alzheimer’s Association, PCHETA (S. 693 /H.R. 1676) would ensure America has an adequate, welltrained palliative care and hospice workforce through workforce training, education and awareness, and enhanced research. These services are critical services for persons in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.

In fact, a number of studies have concluded that hospitalization is not recommended for individuals with advanced dementia given the life expectancy of the individual, the significant burdens of aggressive treatment and the difficulty of pain management for those who cannot communicate in the hospital setting.

PCHETA will help ensure that the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer’s have access to quality care and end-of-life services, making a devastating diagnosis slightly more manageable.

Please join me in asking Sen. Gardner to support PCHETA and the 69,000 Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Best of the Best!

Did senator learn lessons?

Sen. Cory Gardner is chair of the re-election committee for GOP senators, so of course he’d meet with the president of the Colorado Business Roundtable and left Thursday for a fundraiser with McConnell. So much for Colorado voters.He meets with “safe constituents” not The Front Range. He seems to forget that Colorado voted for Clinton and is a “purple state” with a bipartisan congressional delegation.

I attended his Lakewood town hall and it was no rowdier than those held when the Affordable Care Act was being debated. He refused to directly answer any questions. The only comment everyone agreed on was his Charlottesville statement.

He just spouted tired GOP policy.

On health care, he only needed to say he was ready to work on a repair of the ACA with democrats

in a bipartisan manner. He never answered a statement from a rural doctor about the impact of repealing the ACA. When asked about Trump’s solo ability to order a nuclear attack against North Korea, he could have said that it would not happen without a declaration of war voted on by Congress. Instead he said “he would allow the commander in chief to act like the commander in chief.” What does that mean?

On the environment, he only talked about Pruitt’s visit and nothing about how climate change is already effecting us all.

I hope Gardner learned the importance of meeting with all constituents and not just those who will give him money or believe as he does and will have more live town halls.

We will be watching and remember when he runs for re-election in 2020.

Castle Rock turns eyes to the sun for eclipse

Do you have the cutest pet in town?

Spectators share eclipse glasses amid shortages

Do you want to help decide who does?

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Solar eclipse spectators gathered in a courtyard at the Outlets at Castle Rock on Aug. 21 for a community viewing party, and although eclipse glasses were scarce, those who did score the required spectacles shared with those who had not been able to.

“I wish there were more glasses yavailable,” Luke Nelson of Castle Rock lsaid, as he and family discussed which locations in town had offered and then sold out of eclipse glasses.

Nelson attended with his mother, Ann, along with Donna Orr, also of Castle Rock. The trio was able to get glasses through family, they said, but were happy to give those without a chance to use theirs.

Not far away from where the Nel- sons stood was Michele Andersen picnicking with Alani Andersen, 10, and Kiana Andersen, 4. The Andersens traveled from Highlands Ranch to watch the eclipse, and were among those who weren’t able to acquire glasses.

“It’s OK, this is still cool,” Michele said. “People have actually been really nice letting us borrow their glasses.”

One of those generous event goers

Contest begins September 2nd!

Adie, of Colorado Springs, and Amber Loberg try out their solar eclipse glasses ahead of the peak viewing time on Aug. 21. was Susan Milhollan, who had taken her daughter, Samantha, out of school for a few hours so the two could watch the eclipse together. The motherdaughter duo took turns using glasses they’d received through her husband’s work, Milhollan said, but also made sure to let people without glasses take a turn watching the eclipse.

As people across the event passed glasses among one another, Ann Nelson said she enjoyed seeing unity among the community.

“This is bringing everyone together,” Ann Nelson said. “I thought that was pretty cool.”

HOW TO PARTICIPATE What: Becky’s Blessings Run For One, a 5K and 2K family fun run

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Around the corner is Run For One, a 5K and 2K held annually to remember a beloved community member and raise awareness of CURE International, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care to children with physical disabilities worldwide.

Local organization Becky’s Blessings Foundation presents the event, which includes a bounce house and silent auction. The foundation was started by resident Margie Schoedel and her husband, Bob, following the tragic death of Schoedel’s daughter, Rebecca Yarberry, who was killed in a car accident in 2007. Just shy of 28, Yarberry loved helping others and traveled on many medical mission trips with CURE International.

“It was important to my daughter,” Schoedel said of CURE International, “and when we got to know them, we agreed with their mission and saw the benefits.”

Becky’s Blessings raises awareness of the medical needs of children in developing countries and supports medical and humanitarian

When: 9 a.m., Sept. 9. Check-in is from 7:308:30 a.m. and post-race activities — including a bouncy house and silent auction — are from 9:30 a.m.-noon.

Where: Mountainview Community Christian Church, 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway, at the Highlands Ranch Parkway and South Broadway intersection. The route is along open spaces and trails of Highlands Ranch.

Cost: $25 for individuals and $75 for families.

Community members participate in last year’s Run for One 2K family fun run at Mountainview Community Christian Church, 40 East Highlands Ranch Parkway. This year’s fundraiser starts at 9 a.m. on Sept. 9.

missions worldwide, its website says.

Its sixth year in Highlands Ranch, Run for One is an opportunity to learn about and donate to CURE International. The Christian health care network operates hospitals and pediatric surgical programs in 29 countries worldwide. Physical disabilities treated include clubfoot, bowed legs, scoliosis, hydrocephalus and cleft lip.

“We hope we can raise money for some decent surgeries for kids,” Schoedel said.

Are you living with breast cancer, or serve as support to a loved one currently going through treatment? Do you worry about treatment options? Did you overcome a breast cancer diagnosis?

We want to hear from you.

Over the next month, CCM will be collecting stories from women whose lives and experiences can help educate and inform others about breast cancer and other health issues facing women today. We are looking for stories from all ages.

In honor of overall women’s health, we are also looking for stories from readers who have overcome health obstacles, or have worked with doctors and nurses who have gone above and beyond in care.

If your story is selected, a member of the Colorado Community Media staff will contact you for an interview. Send your information to Thelma Grimes at tgrimes@ coloradocommunitymedia.com.

‘A lifelong training’

Kids as young as 5 years old attend a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, where they learn discipline and self defense. The young students fill out cards before each class to track their progress and receive colored belts when they hit a milestone in the program. “To keep kids involved,” said studio owner Robert Goodloe, “they need to see progression.”

Studios across Denver metro area teach range of martial arts

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N

icole Gossett’s 9-year-old son has been practicing karate at ATA Family Martial Arts in Highlands Ranch for the past year. He has become a positive influence for the “not very athletic family,” Gossett said.

“Watching him be so disciplined practicing at home and in the studio,” Gossett said, “we all have done a lot more sit-ups and squats and push-ups in the last year.”

Adults practice self-defense moves at a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, held at 4181 E. County Line Road. The month-long program teaches discipline and builds strength.

Karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing — the list of martial arts forms goes on.

Though the names are distinctive, their styles all have something in common: self-defense.

According to Black Belt Magazine, martial arts date back to 2600 B.C. in China.

Emperors, troops and tribesmen used the defensive movements in battle. The practice evolved across the globe and many popular styles have made their way into fitness gyms and studios across the U.S. Robert Goodloe, owner of Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, was studying for his master’s degree in business administration at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, 10 years ago when he first tried a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class.

“I started training at the studio and I never left,” said Goodloe, a Highlands Ranch resident. He opened the second Gracie Barra studio in Colorado — the first is in Colorado Springs — at 4181 E. County Line Road in July.

SEE DEFENSE, P17

SOME POPULAR MARTIAL ARTS A quick Google search reveals that dozens of martial arts studios can be found throughout the Denver metro area. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of martial arts being taught in the area: Taekwondo A Korean martial art focused on punches, blocks, strikes and kicks. The style builds character and self-discipline. It is practiced around the world and is an Olympic sport.

Karate A Japanese martial art based on fighting techniques, including punches, hand and elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. One of the most practiced martial arts in the U.S., the style embeds self-discipline and strong character.

Judo A Japanese martial art that uses throwing and grappling

techniques instead of strikes and kicks. Participants throw or trip their competitor to get them on their back.

Judo also focuses on mental discipline.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu A Brazilian martial art focused on self-defense. The style teaches a smaller person how to defend himself or herself against a larger opponent and how to escape from an opponent.

Muay thai A martial arts style from Thailand that is similar to kickboxing — a stand-up sport practiced with gloves — but includes elbow and knee strikes.

‘Art Encounters’ program celebrated in exhibition Roxborough group helps put together outdoor art walk, reception

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rox Arts (Roxborough Arts Council) and Seven Stones Botanical Gardens Cemetery, on Rampart Range Road near Littleton, will collaborate on an outdoor art walk and reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sept.

8. “Time and Togetherness” celebrates Art Encounters, Douglas County’s sculpture program. In addition, about 20 artists, members of the Roxborough Arts Council, will exhibit and sell 2-D and 3-D artwork, according to member Moira Casey.

There are 27 Art Encounters sculptures displayed through-

out Douglas County through spring 2018, when a new group will be chosen. Artists submit sculptures and if chosen, loan their works, receive a small honorarium, and in some cases sell their artwork. They are exhibited in Roxborough, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock. (Locations are listed online.)

Roxborough has five pieces this year: “Iron Horse” by Janene DiRico-Cable is placed in front of the clock tower at Roxborough Marketplace, where Rox Arts has a gallery on the second floor above King Soopers. The other four, “Tenderness” by Rene Carollo, “Mask of the Breath” by Kimmerjae Marcus, “Novus Grande” by Harold Linke and “Shard 1” by Joe Norman, are placed on the Seven Stones grounds.

Rox Arts member artists will exhibit and sell jewelry, painting, photography, ceramics,

Benefits of martial arts are far reaching. From engraining a strong sense of discipline to strengthening muscles, the sport boosts mind and body, teachers and participants say.

Body In an evening class at Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, a small group of adults wearing white kimonos — a matching long sleeve shirt and pants worn with a colored belt to signify the level of experience — listen carefully to instructors before gently performing a series of grappling moves with a partner. Intertwined on the mat, they learn how to defend themselves.

Martial arts use quick movements that increase flexibility. Using chokes and holds, Brazilian jiu-jitsu was originally for a smaller inidividual to defend against and escape from a larger person. Taekwando empha-

Food, drinks and live music will be available and special events such as a cakewalk and live auction are planned. Admission is free.

sizes kicking. Karate focuses more on hand movements, including punching and knee and elbow strikes.

Although martial arts teach fighting movements, typically they do not encourage fighting.

“We teach how to use our body to defend ourselves,” said Irene Bowden, instructor of Shotokan Karate Colorado in Lone Tree. “A lot of people will come to train and learn how to kick and punch and they may never in their lifetime get in a fight.”

The Showticon karate style — referred to as an empty-hand method of teaching self defense without weapons — builds muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and makes participants feel good, said Bowden.

She started training with her sensei, or instructor, Gary Swain, more than 16 years ago to get in shape and learn self-defense. Karate has since become a “wonderful addiction,” Bowden said.

She teaches three classes at the Lone Tree Recreation Center: Shotokan Tigers for ages 5 to 7, Stars Special Needs for ages 6 and older,

This sculpture, “Mask of Breath” by Kimmerjae Macarus, is from the 2017 Douglas County Art Encounters collection and is exhibited by the Roxborough Arts Council at Seven Stones Botanical Cemetery on North Rampart Range Rd. A festive “Time and Togetherness” event is presented on Sept. 8.

and Women’s Self-Defense for ages 13 and older.

Mind In a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, participants of all ages follow etiquette guidelines. They bow before getting on and off the mat. Talking is kept to a minimum.

Uniforms are worn. Professors, or instructors, are treated with respect.

“I think people start to see the value of discipline,” Goodloe said.

“It’s really a challenge to yourself. It improves your whole way of living.”

Martial arts have a strong focus on moral values, discipline and character, experts say. Participants can use the mental skills to excel in competitive martial arts, but also in other areas of life.

Gossett signed her son up more than a year ago to help shift his focus from distractions at school. The goal-oriented nature of martial arts helped him, she said. At ATA Family Martial Arts, participants are tested for belts — which signify a level of experience — every two months.

“The discipline of martial arts was a huge component to give him structure,” Gossett said. “He sees the consequences of positive and negative actions.”

Some studios offer family classes, where parents can practice with their children. One of those is Personal Achievement Martial Arts, 3964 Youngfield Street, in Wheat Ridge.

Having parents present increases kids’ focus, said founder Korey Stites.

Instructors encourage better grades, respect, focus in and out of the classroom and leadership.

“It’s also something they can do together,” Stites said. “You’re actually participating and doing everything right alongside the kids.”

In martial arts, there is always room to grow, physically and mentally.

Karate has changed Bowden’s life dramatically, she said. The Realtor and mother of three calls the form of martial arts her passion.

“Martial arts in our view is considered a lifelong training,” Bowden said. “It’s something that you learn to love.”

Bouton marks two decades at helm of Denver Concert Band Director also runs show for Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“I always wanted to be a teacher,” Jacinda Bouton said. With a degree in instrumental and vocal music from Missouri State in Springfield, she was teaching music at George Washington High School in Denver. Parents of several of her students were members of the long-running (56 years) Denver Concert Band. “A group showed up and invited me to audition” when the band sought a new director, she said.

She ran a rehearsal and auditioned on two or three pieces. That was 20 years ago and the band celebrates her leadership this season.

Her instrument of choice is the clarinet, she said, but as a band director,

one pretty much needs to know how to play all of them. She is excited to have clarinetist Jeremy Reynolds from the University of Denver’s Newman School of Music as soloist in the Lone Tree Symphony’s May 4 concert.

“They selected me,” she says happily, “and it’s been great — some of my best friends are Denver Concert Band members. They come from all walks of life: teachers, dentists, insurance people, who learned an instrument and maybe put it down for 20 or 30 years … one can’t always play football, but you can always play an instrument. Our flutist is 90 years old and has been with the band for 50 years.”

When the Lone Tree Arts Center opened, Bouton was able to move the 90-member band there to enjoy the hall’s great acoustics.

Regarding programming: “A small music committee of band members meets and throws ideas out. They bring pieces I’ve never heard. We try for a theme…” Then Bouton decides the program.

about mental illness IT’S OK TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS, MANY OF US DO. One in four Coloradans experience a mental illness each year. Mental illnesses are treatable health conditions, but people are still afraid to talk about them due to shame, misunderstanding, negative attitudes and fear of discrimination.

IT’S OK TO FEEL THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING. Mental illness is not imaginary. Mental illnesses are very real and very common. Mental illnesses cannot be willed away. They are medical conditions that do not define us.

IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. Most mental illnesses can be treated effectively with medication, therapy, diet, exercise and support.

IT’S OK TO REACH OUT. If you think you know someone struggling with mental illness, what can you do? Talk. Listen. Replace awkward silence with questions and understanding.

S

occer matches are packed with one-on-one confrontations as players mark each other up and down the field.

Therefore, many practice sessions also involve drills with players going against another player to simulate game action.

“We try to create a competitive atmosphere with some technical work,” explained Cherry Creek coach Marcelo Curi. “This generally revolves with players working with and against each other to improve technique. We try and play some tactical soccer following, and yes, we many times compete for shootouts at the end.

“We want to create game conditions as much as possible, and even though some exercises involve limited players and touches on the ball, they all have value in their purpose.”

Senior Zach Tripp says Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire lets his players select some practice drills.

“We play a lot of small side games so it’s a half field, some 6-v-6, sometimes we do 2-v-2 which is a lot of fun,” said Tripp. “We try our hardest to make it like a game. It’s not that much different. We try to push each other the

Official soccer practice started Aug. 12 and Arapahoe was one of six teams from the Colorado Community Media circulation area that were ranked in the preseason rankings compiled by CHSAANow.com.

Arapahoe was sixth in the Class 5A poll with Cherry Creek ninth and Ralston Valley 10th. D’Evelyn was

sixth in the preseason Class 4A poll with Standley Lake seventh. Jefferson Academy was second in Class 3A. All regular season matches must be completed by Oct. 21. First of three rounds of the state playoffs competition begins Oct. 25. State semifinals are set for Nov. 8 with the state title games for 3A, 4A and 5A scheduled for Nov. 11 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

“We work on technique, tactics related to our previous game and upcoming opponents and physical maintenance work,” said Heritage coach Adam Buseck. “We use video analysis to view previous games and show the players positive and negative things they are doing as individuals and in groups.

“We utilize the depth of our program and scrimmage with our JV team a good amount. We work situational concepts this week on how do we adjust when we are winning or losing by one goal, two goals or if we are overmatch playing a strong team.”

Volleyball squads work in ways like football teams Offense centers on setter, whose role is similar to that of quarterback

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A good volleyball team can relate to what makes a football team successful.

Volleyball players have to know each other and work together just like a good offensive line in football that is directed by an effective quarterback.

“We liken offense to football a lot but the most important part of that is the setter, who is the quarterback of the team,” said Arapahoe coach Jordan Wright. “Setters are running the offense, telling players what plays they are doing, then setting the smartest option within those plays.”

Chaparral coach Amanda West claims team unity goes hand in hand with success.

“Our pre-competition practices are full of team building and consist of a lot of 6-on-6 competition drills to get the girls used to playing next to each other,” she said.

Girls’ high school volleyball teams opened practice Aug. 14.

Eight teams from the Colorado Community Media circulation area were ranked in the CHSAANow.com preseason volleyball polls.

Rock Canyon was third in the Class 5A ratings with Chaparral fourth, Mountain Vista fifth, Cherry Creek sixth and Arapahoe eighth. Holy Family was second in the 4A poll with Valor Christian fifth, while Faith Christian was eighth in the 3A poll.

Teams will have two months of practice and matches to tune up their games before the regionals that must be completed by Nov. 5. The

In tennis, players often climb a lengthy ladder

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ladders and challenge matches are vehicles used by tennis coaches to rank players on a team.

For a large school like Cherry Creek. the ladder is big.

Members on teams from all schools must play documented challenge matches and either move up or down on the ladder, which eventually will determine a team’s lineup based on ability.

The Colorado High School Activities Association has the following ethics rules regarding challenge matches in its tennis bulletin: A tennis coach must present a player’s list at the beginning of each dual match/tournament. The list shall certify that the team’s best player determined by play is the #1 singles, #2 singles, etc. with the exception of temporary replacements. A tennis ladder or challenge match results must be provided to prove a

SQUAD FROM PAGE 23

“We are in some form of 6-v6 during 80 percent or more of our practices,” related Castle View coach Scott Dowis. “We do a lot of statistical drills in this environment. We also do one positional practice each week.

“In terms of technology we use an iPad that films our team and projects it to a TV in our gym on a 15-second delay. That way we review a play or player performing a skill right after it happened.

The visual feedback is a great tool.”

Ralston Valley coach Debbie Erickson rationalizes that “practice varies depending on where we are in the season.”

At Lutheran, coach Alicia Oates stresses ball control during practice and games.

“We will practice ways to utilize our team strengths while improving any areas of weakness,” Oates said. “As we get into game competition we like to look for ways to use our strengths against our opponent’s weaknesses, but our primary focus is on controlling our side on the net. The more competition, pressure situations and gamelike experiences we can create in practice, the better.”

TENNIS PLAYERS TO WATCH Returning players from south metro area schools who qualified to play in last year’s boys state tennis tournaments: Heritage: Skyler Gates, Jack Alexander, Will Jones, Zach Kennedy, Cole Sullivan, Carson McLeod.

Arapahoe: Tyler Larson, Nick Stephenson, Jake Hall, Kick Zieser, Jack Kikkeri, Chase Wern, AJ Nelson.

Eidler, Ben Murray, Zack Smith, Nick Suichar.

Challenge matches don’t continue into the regular season because of another CHSAA guideline.

All players must have competed in at least six events at that position before they can play at that position in regionals.

Cherry Creek had 169 players on its ladder when chal-

lenge matches started Aug. 14, and coach Art Quinn admits it takes time to understand just how a substantial ladder works that is complete with fourplayer clusters.

Quinn, a 1982 graduate, played tennis at Creek and was an assistant coach for eight seasons before assuming the head coaching position two years ago.

“It took me five to six years as an assistant coach to completely understand each part of the ladder and understand it as a whole,” said Quinn. “Every year there’s something that will happen that you cannot foresee. With a program the size of Cherry Creek and the amount of variables you have, there’s really no way to predict every outcome. There are surprises every year, no doubt.

“There are so many processes within the processes.

As you get near the top of the clusters, the top 14, it’s still the same ladder, but it’s a different system within the system.”

The system has worked as the Bruins head into the 2018 season, having won the past six straight Class 5A state titles and 42 of 45 championships since 1971.

This season, tennis state qualifying regionals must be completed by Oct. 7 and the state tournaments are scheduled for Oct. 12-14. The Class 5A state tournament is set for the Gates Tennis Center in

Denver and the 4A meet will be held at Pueblo City Park.

Challenge matches provide a competitive, intense start to the season but coaches usually wait until the lineup is established to work on helping players with particular phases of the game.

“For our challenge matches, I do not coach our athletes,” said Mountain Range coach Karl Buck. “I do not want our athletes to feel that I am coaching one more than the other, so I avoid it altogether. I watch every singles and doubles challenge match, taking notes on what I feel our players can do better in the future.”

Heritage coach Chad Hanson is also a spectator during the early-season challenge matches.

“The boys have been coached by me or their private coaches all summer and have a chance to show me how hard they’ve worked during the challenge matches,” he said. “We begin normal practices as soon as the ladder is set.”

Injury report puts health of young athletes in spotlight

M

aybe that last-place ranking that Colorado recently received in the report released by the Korey Stringer OVERTIME Institute on managing injury risk has turned into a positive for the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Colorado was last among 51 state associations in the high school Jim Benton sports Safety Policy Rankings.

Rankings are based on guidelines for sudden cardiac arrest, exertional heat stroke, traumatic head injury, appropriate health care coverage and emergency preparedness.

North Carolina was ranked first, followed by Kentucky.

CHSAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations objected to the Aug. 8 report.

CHSAA responded loudly and has made people aware of what the organization is doing.

“It gave us pause to look at what we were doing, double check our best practices with others and provide reassurance that we had many good things in place,” assistant CHSAA Commissioner

Bert Borgmann said. “We know that we will be adding additional measures, and we would have without the survey. We are focused on and will continue to be focused on the health and safety of Colorado’s student participants.”

CHSAA claims the Stringer ranking was not an accurate reflection of safety measures employed and the organization said it did not participate in the questionnaire involved with the rankings.

The Korey Stringer Institute is a safety research and advocacy organization based at the University of Connecticut. Stringer, a pro football player, died of complications from heat stroke at the age of 27 in 2001.

NFHS felt the grading of state associations was an incomplete measurement of the states’ ability to help member schools with heat, heart and head issues.

New CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green felt the institute’s questions were flawed and didn’t allow CHSAA to elaborate on alternatives and overshadowed safety measures CHSAA has implemented. To learn more about those measures, go to www2.chsaa.org/sports/medicine/ The KSI report can be found at ksi.uconn.edu/high-school-statepolicies

Friday Night lights For decades, Friday nights have been when the spotlight shines on high school football games. Saturday was the day that college football teams were in the limelight. However, that has been changing in recent years, with more and more college games showing up on TV on Friday nights.

The National Federation of State High School Associations adopted a resolution that urges schools and teams at the college and pro levels to honor the longstanding tradition that Friday nights in the fall should be reserved for high school football.

That just won’t happen because money talks and college football can gain revenue from television contracts by playing games on Friday.

Colorado and Colorado State play on Friday, Sept 1. The Big 10 is exploring playing Friday games and joining the many other schools already seeking paydays by playing a day earlier than usual.

There are 38 games this season that will be played and televised nationally on Friday nights between Sept. 1 and Nov. 17.

Broncos great offers motivation for high school players Hall-of-famer Terrell Davis speaks at Castle View event

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Broncos hall of fame running back Terrell Davis started the Mile High Salute in the 1990s after he scored touchdowns to honor service men.

Davis received a salute of sort with a standing ovation after his 35-minute speech on Aug. 18 at the Castle View Gridiron Club’s Back the Cats evening, which was held at the Plum Creek church in Castle Rock.

The three-time all-pro player and two-time Super Bowl champion talked about the core values of virtue, trust, resilience, passion, accountability and belief.

Those are also same values that the Castle View football team stresses.

“It was amazing having TD talk about Castle View football’s core values,” said

Gridiron Club president Charles Oster. “I had dozens of people share their excitement after the event. Players in particular were grateful and excited.”

Davis, who was induced into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 5, also took part in a meet-and-greet session before his speech and answered questions from the audience afterward.

He enhanced his speech with personal stories. He recalled the time when he was 14 years old and had a shotgun pointed in his face, but the potential shooter was convinced by another party not to pull the trigger.

“That night told me I can’t put myself in situations that I’m guaranteed to lose,” Davis said. “From that day, I never put myself in those situations.

“It’s up to you to decide what kind of life you want to live. These six core values were instrumental in helping me achieve the goals I wanted to achieve. When things go a little south for us all, we just go back to our core values.”

Senior safety Josh Hermanstorfer was impressed with Davis’ discourse about belief.

“He didn’t always believe in himself and I’ve had some problems believing in myself,” Hermanstorfer said.

“He said you just kind of have to flip that switch and it will change your game. It’s really empowering.”

There was an overflow crowd of 750 that attended the event, which helped raise funds to support the Castle View football program.

Most of the Castle View players in attendance weren’t born or were in cribs from 1995-2001, when Davis was becoming the Broncos’ all-time leading rusher.

“Yeah, I know who Terrell Davis is,” senior linebacker Heath Helms said. “Who doesn’t know? I was in a crib, but he’s one of my favorite players. I watch videos of him all the time.

“It was a great event. I feel like it gave a lot of motivation for the team. It brings a lot of good energy and maybe pumps the team up a little.”
