MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

GIANMATEO PIERONI

Pilot, art lover About me I run my family’s body shop, Highlands Auto Body, in Littleton and own Colorado Herbal Imports on Santa Fe Drive. I grew up in Littleton, my dad is from Argentina and my mom is from here. I lived in Littleton until I was 17 and then I moved to Denver. I live downtown now but I work down here. My dad started the body shop about 30 years ago and I learned it growing up.

Our shop has been in Littleton for about 10 years. We were at Broadway and Yale before that, but Littleton’s been really good for us.

The herbal busines My family is kind of into rural Argentinean roots and herbal remedies, so I’ve always been exposed to that. We owned the building, so it was relatively lowrisk to start. I had a tenant here but they left, so I decided to try something new and we’ve been open for about eight months now, and we’re looking at opening a second location in Glendale.

My hobbies I fly small airplanes out of Centennial Airport. I’ve had my

Drought assistance offered Small non-farm businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Adams counties, along with 18 other Colorado counties, are eligible for federal disaster loans to offset economic losses caused by drought.

The loans are for businesses that are dependent on farmers and ranchers in areas where agricultural production has suffered drought-related losses.

Elbert, Baca, Lincoln and Weld are the primary counties in which losses occurred, but businesses in neighboring counties are also eligible for the loans, administered by the Small Business Administration. Neighboring counties in Kansas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska and Oklahoma are also included.

The loans have an interest rate of 3.125 percent for businesses and 2.5 percent for nonprofit organizations.

Businesses that are primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance and should contact the Farm Services Agency about U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance.

Littleton and Highlands Ranch residents will lose a low-cost shopping option with the closure of two Savers thrift stores next week.

The store chain’s Washington state-based headquarters announced that it would be closing the two stores, the only ones in Colorado, as well as its thrift store called Unique in Aurora.

“Though unfortunate, we have determined that despite our best efforts, local market pressures have made it necessary to close our Savers and Unique thrift stores in Colorado,” spokeswoman Sara Gaugl said. “We are deeply grateful for the communities that have supported our Savers stores located in Littleton and Highlands Ranch and our Unique thrift store in Aurora.”

At the Littleton location, in Woodlawn Shopping Center, Jennifer Haselbach and Janelle Costanza were surprised to see signs on the door noting the closure of the store that has been there since 1995.

Haselbach said that she bought items there ranging from furniture to movies to clothing for herself and her 8-year-old son.

“We’re here at least a couple times a month, if not more than that,” Haselback said.

Some customers of Savers say that shopping for deals there is like a hobby.

Brittney Morgan, of Littleton, shopping at the Highlands Ranch store on Quebec Street, which opened in 2012, said she likes to shop for clothing at thrift stores.

“It’s just cheaper,” she said. “You get the same quality — some of these things have tags on them. It’s just the price.”

The Littleton and Highlands Ranch stores’ final day of business will be March 13, while the Unique store in Aurora will remain open until April 17.

Five new LIFT members picked Littleton City Council fills board, authority and commission vacancies

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Littleton City Council tentatively approved five new members of the city’s embattled urban renewal authority on March 1, setting them up for expected confirmation at the March 7 meeting.

Carol Brzeczek, Jason Henderson, Nicholas Millar, Karina Elrod and Kevin Seiler will join Littleton Invests for Tomorrow.

LIFT narrowly survived a council vote in December after months of meetings and study sessions about whether to shutter it for lack of urban renewal projects. Though four of seven councilmembers ultimately voted to keep the authority, three of the city’s four urban renewal plan areas were repealed, leaving only the Columbine Square area, centered around the vacant shopping center of the same name at the corner of Belleview Avenue and Federal Boulevard.

In recent months five seats came open on the seven-member board after three members resigned and two said they would not stay on after their term’s expirations at the end

of this month. Board members Kyle Schlachter and Ryan Toole remain.

The authority also lacks an executive director after terminating Jim Rees, who had held the position, last August.

Brzeczek, Henderson and Millar will be appointed to five-year terms, Elrod a three-year term and Seiler a one-year term.

Brzeczek has been a frequent critic of LIFT in the past, speaking at council meetings throughout last year in favor of abolishing the authority.

Councilmember Bill Hopping, who has consistently defended LIFT in meetings, questioned why an outspoken critic of urban renewal would want to join the authority. However, Brzeczek said that she does not oppose urban renewal projects done within the confines of the state law.

“I have read the law more times than I really care to admit,” she said, showing the council a thick binder of paperwork.

The council also picked appointees to the city’s other boards and commissions, including the Planning Commission, the Historic Preservation Board, the Board of Adjustment, the Board of Appeals, the Election Commission, the Licensing Authority, South Metro Housing Options Board, the Library Board, the Fine Arts Board and the Museum Board.

Mayors campaign for construction defects bill State Senate bill would require arbitration for condo lawsuits, requires majority consent for an HOA suit

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While mayors around the metro area are backing a state legislative effort restricting construction defects lawsuits that they say discourage the building of attainable housing — such as condominiums and townhomes — critics say it would take away a homeowner’s right to use the court system.

Senate Bill 156, which passed the Senate on March 7, would require homeowner associations to obtain the written consent of a majority of owners in the association before filing a defects lawsuit, as well as disclose the projected cost of the claim and enter into third-party arbitration.

According to the Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, a group favoring the bill, as few as two homeowners can file a class action lawsuit on behalf of an HOA. State Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, who is sponsoring the bill in the House, said the status quo has prevented condos from being built.

“In 2005, condos comprised 20 percent of the metro Denver new housing market,” he said. “While lawyers made money, today that number has plummeted to 2 percent.”

Supporters of construction defects reform say the lack of attainable home purchase options also drives up rental costs as more people who want to buy a home opt to stay in apartments.

A press conference was held by supporters of the bill at the Capitol on Feb. 27 before the bill went before the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee, which passed it 5-2.

Mayors from around the metro area attended the conference, including Adam Paul of Lakewood, Heidi Williams of Thornton, Cathy Noon of Centennial, Jackie Millet of Lone Tree, Marc Williams of Arvada, Herb Atchison of Westminster and Daniel Dick of Federal Heights.

Paul said that he had envisioned owneroccupied housing surrounding the Lakewood’s seven light rail stations.

“At those seven stops right now, what we’ve seen is apartments, apartments and apartments,” he said.

Millet said that over the last 10 years, 2,000 housing units have been built in Lone Tree, but only 93 have been for-sale condos.

“The entry-level home just doesn’t exist in our community and I think that’s a shame,” she said.

But critics of SB 156 say there is no proof that construction defects lawsuits are behind the lack of entry-level condos.

A group opposing the construction defect reform efforts, Build Our Homes Right, says the bill would shift private arbitration costs to homeowners, although their taxes support the court system.

Build Our Homes Right Chairman Jonathan Harris said that arbitration gives the power to developers rather than homeowners.

Shortly after buying his condo in Denver in 2004, he said he noticed water leaking around doors and window.

“They did some patches, and it would rain again and they’d do more patches,” he said.

His condo board finally settled a lawsuit against the developer, builder and architecture firm in 2012 for an undisclosed amount.

“I understand we need condominiums,” he said. “But I don’t think we need poorquality condominiums.”

Peg Rudden, 68, a condo owner who favors SB 156, said that she has medical bills to pay and has been unable to apply for a home equity line of credit on her Centennial condo, which is nearly paid off, due to ongoing litigation.

“I was not aware of a lock on my home,” she said, staing she was denied the line of credit due to the litigation against the builder of her condo. “I was not aware of the construction defects.”

SB 156 is similar to ordinances passed in several municipalities around the metro area in recent years, including those in Denver, Littleton, Lakewood, Lone Tree, Parker, Westminster, Centennial, Castle Rock, Wheat Ridge and Arvada.

But Noon, the Centennial mayor, said the patchwork of local laws has not solved the problem, leaving developers wary.

“Do you come in, in an industry and in a state, that you have left years ago, and come in and do one project in the city of Centennial, under one set of rules, and one project in Lone Tree, and one in Arvada?” she said.

Suspect in slaying of Centennial doctor pleads not guilty

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Centennial man accused of killing his neighbor and shooting two other people, including his own wife, pleaded not guilty to 14 charges March 2, but his defense attorneys informed the court that they will introduce expert testimony on his mental health condition during trial.

Kevin Lee Lyons is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kenneth Atkinson, a well-known doctor who lived next door, on April 4 of last year in the Homestead Farm II subdivision. He also faces charges of the attempted murder of

his wife, Elizabeth Lyons, neighbors Laurie Juergens, Lesa McKenzie and Craig Johnson, and Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office deputies Tim Klisnick and Frank Morgan, as well as enhancements for allegedly committing a crime of violence.

Because of defense plans to bring Lyons’ mental health into evidence, he will be sent for an evaluation at Colorado Mental Health Lyons Institute at Pueblo.

CMHIP staff also evaluated Lyons’ mental state last year, after which Judge Carlos Samour Jr. ruled him competent to stand trial.

Elizabeth Lyons told police her husband had been acting erratically in the days before the shooting. She said that she ran outside of their house as he shot at her, at which point Atkinson and Juergens came to her aid.

During a preliminary hearing in August, deputies and investigators testified that Kevin Lyons chanted, prayed out loud and spoke in nonsensical terms about the Bible both at the scene and in an interview room at department headquarters later, and that witnesses had told them that he sang and yelled about the Bible during the shooting and referred to his wife as “the devil.”

A non-appearance review date

was set for June 2, at which further hearings will be set. Lyons did not address the court except to confirm to Samour that he understood documents he had read.

Lyons’ plea is not a not-guilty-by reason of insanity plea. If he had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and were found not guilty, he could still be subject to being committed to a state mental hospital.

However, with the plea he entered, if he is found not guilty of all charges, he would go free.

Samour estimated that it will take at least three months for CMHIP to evaluate Lyons.

“Frankly, that may be an ambitious estimate,” he said.

Former LPS educator arrested on sexual assault charges Former Powell Middle School teacher accused of abusing student in 1990s

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Littleton Public Schools teacher has been arrested on suspicion that he repeatedly sexually

assaulted a student between 1996 and 1998.

Michael Camelio, 70, was arrested at his home in Highlands Ranch by the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office on Feb. 28, after a woman reported the alleged abuse.

A news release from Camelio the sheriff ’s office said Camelio was a teacher at Powell

Middle School at the time of the incidents. He was arrested on suspicion of five counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust after an investigation.

Camelio taught at Powell from 1995 to 2002. Prior to that, he was director of education and principal at Mark Hopkins Elementary School from 1982-88 and a computer science teacher at Newton Middle School from 1988 to 1995. After leaving LPS, he taught at Regis University. His

LinkedIn profile says he left Regis in 2012 and has been working as a marketing consultant since then.

According to the 18th Judicial District docket, he will appear in court for a preliminary hearing on April 5. He is being held in Arapahoe County jail on $10,000 bond.

Anyone with additional information about the suspect or the alleged crime is asked to contact Investigator Melinda Schubert at 720-874-4042.

South Suburban basketball programs are a miniature slam dunk Program allows kids ages 3 to 14 to play competitively

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A basketball player runs down the court, occasionally dribbling. Players behind him run as fast as they can, some tripping over untied shoelaces — but none are fast enough to catch him. The 4-year-old player makes the layup.

Teaching the younger generation how to play basketball has been a focus for South Suburban Parks and Recreation this season with the introduction of two new leagues, said Keeley Sorensen, South Suburban’s program coordinator.

The High Line Competitive League is for second-, thirdand fourth-graders and the Little Hoopers League for kids ages 3 to 5.

The program’s expansion now allows for kids aged three to 14 to play.

The Little Hoopers play on a modified court with 6-foot

With the exception of Little Hoopers, the leagues are separated by age and gender.

There were eight Little Hoopers’ teams, 72 boys’ teams and 45 girls’ teams.

Of the 1,209 kids in the basketball program, 70 percent lived in the district’s cities of Lone Tree, Centennial and Littleton. The other 30 percent were primarily from nearby areas, such as Highlands Ranch and southern Denver.

The leagues had a force of 250 volunteer coaches.

Keith Love said he could not have coached his son’s team except for the Thursdaynight play time. His son, Clyde, is a multi-sport athlete.

Weekend practices and games would have been impossible with Clyde’s other sports.

“I have 8- and 10-year-old boys and they play all the sports,” Love said. “The clubs say they like multi-sport athletes, but that is impossible when everything seems to happen on Saturday.”

Love coached Team Denver, a group of seven fourth-grade boys that won the championship this season.

“We want to do it again next year,” Love said. “It all went really well. It was organized in a nice gym and with good referees.”

Hard times for house hunters

Low inventory, high prices typify a tough market for home buyers

The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in January for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to January 2016.

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Londa Mull isn’t your typical couch surfer.

“I’m technically homeless, and I chose this,” she said with a smile.

After her four adult children moved out, Mull, a 50-year-old former real estate broker’s assistant, began looking for a smaller home in July 2016. She sold her Centennial home in February, but still hasn’t found a house, condominium or townhome that meets her needs, so for now, she’s staying with friends and sleeping on sofas.

An empty nester with money and time to spend, Mull realizes she has advantages over most buyers looking for a single-family home. With little to choose from and prices that have skyrocketed in recent years, the Denver metro housing market can be daunting.

Mull feels sorry for families trying to buy a starter house.

“I had a young couple in the Thornton area a year ago,” she said. “We would spend an entire Saturday every week and write offers four or five at a time” but always got outbid.

The couple found a home, after looking at 65 houses, submitting 25 offers and going above their agreed price range.

Mull said she’ll use Airbnb — an online marketplace that connects people to living accommodations — to avoid wearing out her welcome if she doesn’t find a place soon. And she isn’t too optimistic.

“The problem is there isn’t that much out there,” she said, but “when I found a place I liked, of course it sold like that,” she said, snapping her fingers.

‘There’s nothing out there’ A February study by consumer services website Bankrate.com found that Colorado is the eighth-hardest state in the nation for first-time home buyers.

Prices are up and inventory is down — way down.

Listings of single-family homes and condominiums in the metro area hit an all-time low in February of 3,878 units, according to a report released March 3 by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

January numbers from DMAR showed Denver County’s inventory of single-family homes plummeted, down 44.9 percent from 2016. In Jefferson County, available single-family homes dropped by 38.9 percent, and Arapahoe and Adams counties saw decreases of 34.2 and 32.1 percent, respectively.

Douglas County’s inventory decreased 27.8 percent.

Castle Rock Realtor Sandi Zimmerman doesn’t need to see the numbers to know there’s a lack of available homes.

“There’s nothing out there,” she said.

Zimmerman has had success finding homes for clients over the last couple of years, but it wasn’t easy. One family she worked with throughout most of last year wrote seven contracts before closing.

“Be ready and be patient — those are really the two things you have to do,” she said. “This process could take six months.”

Prices are rising, wages aren’t Patrick Holwell, workforce econo-

mist for Arapahoe/Douglas Works, said there’s a gap between home prices and incomes in the region, and that gap is widening.

“People who aspire to own a home are looking at it going steadily out of their reach,” Holwell said. “Their income isn’t growing as fast as home prices.”

In January, the median sales price of a single-family home in the metro area was $380,000, up 10 percent from a year ago, according to DMAR. According to data Holwell compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau, a grow-

ing number of potential buyers across the region can’t afford a new home.

Prices are out of range for at least 205,000 households in Denver. In Jefferson County, a minimum of 150,891households are stuck where they are. At least 98,903 Adams County households and 134,818 Arapahoe County households are priced out, while Douglas County had at least 50,714 households not making enough to buy a home.

Robert Smith, Lakewood’s economic development director, said the cost burden of owning or renting in today’s market has consequences that ripple through the local economy. More income spent on rent or mortgage payments means less money for eating out, shopping and other discretionary spending.

“Cost burden affects not only an individual household’s quality of life,” Smith said via email. It “also affects the business community that depends on their spending.”

Another strain on the household budget is money spent on gas and bus fare.

“Households that do buy in this market are forced either to enter a cost-burdened situation or find less SEE HOUSING, P9

BUSINESS

Q&A with Robert Golden, South Metro Chamber of Commerce president/CEO Colorado Community Media reporter Stephanie Mason interviewed Robert Golden, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, about the impact of rising home prices on the area.

How has the rising cost of single-family homes affected the south metro Denver economy?

This is a statewide issue, but specifically in our south metro area, the situation we are in now is historically low inventories of not just single-family homes, but of townhomes and multiunit dwellings. Yet, there is a tremendous demand because so many people are coming to Colorado and, particularly, Denver and the Front Range. It is a low-supply and high-demand market.

What we are finding is that with businesses relocating and expanding in the south metro area, it is difficult for them to relocate their companies if they cannot find places for employees

to live. They are finding out that it is very difficult to approach their employees and tell them that the housing market is very expensive and it is hard to find a house. That is a significant economic impact.

I have a millennial son who makes a good income and wants to buy a home, but he cannot find a condominium or a townhome, so he is getGolden ting discouraged.

How important is a healthy housing market to the economy?

When a small family buys a house, they are putting roots down. They decide that, say, Centennial, is where they are going to raise their family, make friends and spend their money.

When you rent — and I am not criticizing people who rent — it is not permanent and not putting down roots.

Home ownership creates community.

Because the south metro area is growing so much from a business perspective and people are relocating, opening or expanding their businesses here, people need a place to live within reasonable distance.

How can construction-defects legislation improve the housing situation in the south metro area and beyond?

We firmly believe that it is one of our legislative priorities that construction litigation reform will stimulate the housing market from a construction standpoint, particularly more inventory being built in the condominium and townhouse, multi-unit market. We believe that there needs to be changes in the litigation environment.

We don’t advocate that homeowners shouldn’t have rights. If you have legitimate claims against a builder, the law should protect you. What we are

HOUSING

advocating for are modifications to the legal rights and the litigation that can be brought against homeowners and developers.

Do wages need to rise in the metro area in order to keep up with housing and rental costs?

Under the current circumstances, yeah.

What will the long-term impact be of high housing costs in the south metro area?

Will the current trend continue or will prices level out?

I’ve always believed that as the housing market goes, the economy goes and vice versa. We are starting to see stabilization in the housing market. Prices are creeping up a little bit, but the prices have stabilized to an extent. There is still a long way to go. I do not foresee a housing crisis or a housing crash coming any time soon.

expensive housing farther from their place of work,” Smith said, “which in turn leads to greater spending on transportation.”

Bubble or balance?

Memories of the housing market crash of 2008 are still on the minds of real estate agents, officials and homeowners. Most avoid using the word “bubble,” but rising home values and readily-available mortgage loans are nonetheless raising some eyebrows.

Aside from preventing first-time buyers from owning a home, Smith said there are other potential downsides to a housing market in which home prices continually escalate. The worst of these, he said, would be an inevitable shortage of labor, a perennial problem in Colorado’s mountain resorts.

Still, he isn’t worried about a collapse.

“All markets will rise and fall,” Smith said. “It is tempting to look back a decade ago, then view the current rising housing market and fear a

Realtor Sandi Zimmerman and her assistant Milissa Duckworth look at local home prices in her Castle Rock office. Zimmerman says she has to advise some clients to look outside of their preferred area and be ready to view a house at a moment’s notice to get their offers in.

TOM SKELLEY bursting bubble will not be far behind.”

The market goes through 10-year cycles of low availability and high prices, Smith said, but a crash like 2008’s only happens “once in several decades.” He said the region is in its seventh year of the 10-year cycle, and apartment vacancy rates are increasing, indicating the market will level out.

Zimmerman agrees that the area is in the seventh year of a cycle, but after 38 years in the real estate business, she’s not as confident in the outcome.

“This is my third time of seeing this,” she said, “I wish I had a crystal ball… I don’t know how much longer this is going to last.”

An annual uptick in permits for new homes, easy availability of loans and the cyclical nature of the real estate business give caution to her optimism.

“Normally, about the end of seven years you’re seeing that it’s going to stop or plateau or start to come back down,” she said.

“What goes up must come down.”

Real-life Forrest Gump runs into Peabody Elementary British man, inspired by Forrest Gump’s fictional route, is running 20,000 miles across the U.S.

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2012, Jim Plunkett-Cole was at home in England with his dog, Alfredo, when he got an idea.

“I was sitting on the sofa with Alf, as we do, watching the Olympics,” he said to a group of fifth-graders at Peabody Elementary School in Centennial on Feb. 24. “And I was feeling inspired.”

Plunkett-Cole, 48, channeled that inspiration into a challenge for himself: Every day of 2013, he would run at least 10 kilometers, or approximately 6.21 miles.

Alfredo, a border collie, tagged along.

“We didn’t miss a single day,” Plunkett-Cole said.

He did the same thing in 2014. In 2015, he decided to challenge himself further, adding a 750-meter swim and a 20-kilometer bike ride to his daily routine.

“Every day, whilst working full-time, I did a triathlon,” said Plunkett-Cole, who is in Colorado as

Jim Plunkett-Cole speaks to kids at Peabody Elementary School on Feb. 24. PlunkettCole has been running at least 10 kilometers a day since Jan. 1, 2013. He came to the United States from his native England to run a 20,000-mile route inspired by the movie “Forrest Gump.”

KYLE HARDING part of his new adventure, running a three-year criss-cross 20,000-mile route through the United States, inspired by the 1994 film “Forrest Gump.”

Since October 2016, he has aver-

aged 22 miles per day.

Owing to Asperger’s Syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum, Plunkett-Cole said he is not particularly social, and he finds peace with the solitude of running.

He also started a campaign to encourage adults to be more active, the Active Every Day Kx365 Challenge Initiative. John Brackney, former president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and a former Arapahoe County commissioner, joined the challenge.

“The internet is an amazing thing,” said Brackney, referring to how he learned about Plunkett-Cole.

Plunkett-Cole also decided to take his challenge across the pond.

Along the way, he is visiting elementary schools across the country to inspire them to be physically active every day. He came to Peabody thanks to Brackney, an alum of the school. Earlier that snowy morning, he ran four miles, with plans for another 13 later.

“I love the idea of the perserverance,” Peabody Principal Linda Jones said. “I think that applies a lot to school.”

He told the kids about the adversity he’s overcome to continue at his goal.

In 2013, shortly after he started running daily, his mother died of cancer. Last spring, Alfredo had to be put down at 9 years old because of an auto-immune disorder.

“I’ve come through injuries and illnesses,” he told the students. “And the cool thing is, my body is no different than yours.”

Greater hope and deeper faith are needed in a world crimped by fear WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

T

here is a quote by William Shakespeare, “A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”

We seem to live in a fear-based world these days. The question is why? What is it that we are fearing most? Is it the economy? Is it a fear that there are wars raging in the world and soon enough we could have a war right here? Is it a fear based on the wars and battles that are going in right here already? Political battles, the war on political correctness, the war on drugs, and

the war we wage within ourselves as we strive to get by?

Most of us have probably heard the phrase, “Hope is not a strategy.” Maybe, maybe not, I think it becomes a matter of personal belief and the role that hope plays in our lives. I believe that although hope might not be a strategy for everyone, we all must have a strategy of hope. Without hope, fear can easily consume our thoughts and actions.

Zig Ziglar turned the word fear into an acronym and he said, “Fear, FEAR, stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.” So how do we know what is real and what is false? Some of us are consumed with real-

DORAY FROM PAGE 12

never fully realized that something like this could happen to me (although fortunately, I was not one of the seriously injured).

I was slowing for a stoplight in rush hour traffic when I heard squealing tires and then the unmistakable – and instantaneous – panic-inducing crunch of metal on metal as vehicles behind me collided violently. In the same millisecond, I saw a blue Jeep-type vehicle go airborne off the road into a parking lot, flip four times and hit a parked car. Then I was hit.

Witnesses said the car crossed all four lanes of traffic at high speed and never braked. The impact spun me sideways out into traffic, where he hit me again on my right side and shoved me into another car with my left side.

What happened next is why I am writing this column.

A man driving a tanker truck was out of his vehicle before the accident even registered with me. He sprinted to the person who flipped, then to the driver of the car that hit us. By then, I’d gotten out of my car and the trucker came over to check on me. He stayed at the scene for about two hours, helping all of us with his concern and his eyewitness account for the police.

I learned from police that the driver fled the scene on foot, and that witnesses who saw him followed him in their car. When he left the

street, one of the people in the car jumped out and chased him down to the railroad tracks, where this Good Samaritan somehow subdued him until the police arrived.

The accident happened in front of a flooring company, where the Jeep vehicle that rolled crash-landed into an employee’s car. I narrowly missed plowing into another employee who was still in her car at the time.

These good people came streaming out of their office, provided a chair for me to use while I talked to the firemen, the paramedics, the police.

They brought me water.

When the police moved the investigation into the company’s office because of the cold that morning, employees provided coffee to warm me up.

All of these kind people give new meaning to the “See something, say something” mantra of today’s social climate. For them, it was “See something, do something.”

Thank you to the people of Colorado Carpet and Rug, thank you to Jerry the trucker whose last name I never learned. And thank you to the people who helped the police apprehend the person who caused this crash.

What you saw, and what you did, made an awful situation bearable for me that frosty morning on the day before Valentine’s Day.

We’re taught not to, but who hasn’t?

Around here, it’s not an option.

Someone eats it, and it isn’t me.

I own a dog. Smitty watches food preparation intently, hoping I will be clumsy with the chicken.

I am sometimes clumsy with chicken on purpose.

Some of us have to be mindful of germs, and there is no phoniness in it. I am one of the lucky ones. I have very few known allergies.

Country music, certain diamond business commercials, that’s about it.

Don’t sit me in front of the “Pioneer Woman” for any length of time either.

I should take more precautions in my art studio, but I don’t. I know artists who wear plastic

gloves when they paint. Many of the paints I work with, especially my favorite blue, are very toxic.

One of my colleagues died young.

He taught ceramics before healthy workplace regulations were instituted.

There are hazardous materials and lots of airborne dust in a ceramics studio. Rodger, like me, worked without gloves or a mask.

David Vetter, the “Bubble Boy,” was only 12 when he died. He was born with severe combined immunodeficiency, and had to live in a plastic bubble his entire life.

It could be that the man I saw scrubbing with his Purell truly needed to, even though it looked a little like showmanship.

But I don’t want to spread it around.)

And when we can remember that when we can live more hope and greater faith, it will help to minimize our fears. And then it really will be a better than good week.

Quiz nights bring interaction to pubs

Caution Brewing in Lakewood hosts Geeks Who Drink quiz night every Tuesday.

Denver metro area is largest market for Geeks Who Drink quizzes

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Quiz nights at Grist Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch are high energy.

The combination of a running club, a food truck and an average of eight to 10 teams racking their brains for the correct answers to trivia questions makes Wednesday nights at Grist beer tender Stephanie Owen’s favorite night to work.

“I was a quiz regular before I started working here on Wednesday nights,” Owen said. “I’m a huge random knowledge geek. I’ve got a lot of random useless knowledge.”

Grist has hosted a trivia night weekly since opening its doors three years ago.

About six months ago, the brewery switched from hosting an independent trivia company to hosting Geeks who Drink.

Grist is one of 700 weekly Geeks Who Drink events in 41 states.

Geeks Who Drink launched in 2006

in Denver and has grown into the largest trivia company in the nation.

The homegrown pub trivia quiz is modeled after those in Ireland and the U.K. and covers everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television.

“We have relatively humble beginnings,” said Ken Brill, director of public relations and marketing for Geeks Who Drink. “We were founded simply because trivia in the area kind of stunk.”

Brill said what separates the Geeks from other trivia formats is the focus on social interaction.

“The thing that’s helped us the most is we take a light-hearted approach to trivia,” Brill said. “We like to think of ourselves more of an evening of entertainment rather than stumping players with hardest questions.”

Brill said that although the Geeks’ chief editor is a six-time “Jeopardy” champion, they aren’t looking to only attract people who take the “Jeopardy” entrance exam regularly.

“We’re looking for folks who want to have a good time and hang with friends,” Brill said. “We try to keep it as broad as possible to appeal to everyone on the team. We’re going to try to hit on every one area of expertise every night.”

This is one reason why trivia enthusiast Brian Harshman, 37, plays quiz nights at Caution Brewery in Lakewood regularly.

“We have a lot of fun and it’s nice and challenging,” said Harshman, who excels in the music category.

His quiz teammate, Jason Rhine, 32, said music is the only category he lacks knowledge in.

Rhine found quiz night while in college and has continued to play since.

“It’s a good balance of being able to talk and chill, but also have something to do while you’re here,” said Rhine, a Lakewood resident.

Caution is one of several Geeks Who Drink sites in the Denver metro area.

“One of our largest presence is concentrated here in Denver,” said Stefani Thomas, Colorado regional manager for Geeks Who Drink.

Thomas started as a quiz master with Geeks six years ago and transitioned into the full-time position two years ago.

She has hosted quizzes at almost 50 venues in Colorado, everywhere from Denver to the mountains and Colorado Springs. She regularly hosts at Denver Bicycle Cafe in Denver.

“I like the back and forth between the host and the quizzers,” Thomas said.

“Once you have regulars coming to your quiz, you really have the opportunity to connect with them. You know things happening in their life and it becomes beyond just a person mechanically reading questions over the mic.

Those people become your family and friends.”

One personal connection Thomas made was with a quizzer at Beau Jo’s in Denver. When that quizzer died of cancer, his family invited Thomas to host a tribute quiz at his wake.

“It was cool and unusual,” Thomas said. “We laughed and played quiz. If I ever had to have something like that planned for me, I’d hope it would as fun and a great gathering for people.”

Site-specific installations by 13 Latino artists shown in Denver ‘Mi Tierra’ exhibition has been long time in the making

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Mi Tierra” has been three or four years in the making, according to Denver Art Museum Director Christoph Heinrich, inspired to an extent by the experience of “Embrace,” which challenged artists to design site-specific works as feedback in the then-new Hamilton Building, with its angles and oddly shaped display spaces.

“Mi Tierra: Contemporary Artists Explore Place,” in the fourth-floor gallery through Oct. 22, is the first major exhibit curated by Rebecca Hart, new curator of modern and contemporary art. Thirteen emerging and mid-career Latino artists were invited to create site-specific installations that express experiences of a contemporary life in the American West, near the border, in Mexico, in Latin America, Hart said.

“Some worked in the public eye the last three months,” she said. (As with “Embrace,” the public was invited to watch as installations were created, and talk with the artists.) “Place, home, country, borders, migration, labor, memory, visibility, displacement, expected and not, traditional and not. Diverse creative voices to the front,” Hart said.

“No single viewpoint can represent being Latino in America today.”

Hart arrived in Denver 18 months ago and Latino leaders helped her, as did a committee of advisors. The all new large scale installations are in many media—“some bilingual, some dissonant, some harmonious …”

The entire fourth floor is filled by “Mi Tierra” and each installation is distinctive and in most cases, colorful. As one enters from the elevator, Los Angeles sculptor Ruben Ochoa’s galvanized metal and concrete, ”Ever since I was little, it looked like fun” a large, abstract piece that looks ready to move along with one, dominates the initial view into the gallery.

IF YOU GO “MI TIERRA: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS EXPLORE PLACE” fills the fourth floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, on 13th Avenue, a block west of Broadway. Admission is included with general admission to the Museum. (Children visit free.)

A catalog of the exhibit was still at the printer when we visited, since many of these works were “in progress” until shortly before opening and not ready for the photographer, but there will be a bilingual catalog available in the Museum Shops soon, lending more insight into the 13 artists represented. Denverartmuseum. org. the narrow window shimmering on Gabriel Dawe’s intricate, extensive “Plexus No. 36,” which required many miles of multi-colored thread. Dawe is from Dallas.

Justin Favela, Las Vegas, created “Friedlandia,” a brilliantly hued and remarkable fantasy garden made with colored paper strips and glue that really invites the visitor to stroll inside.

By contrast, Los Angeles artist Carmen Argote’s “Live/Work” shows a tightly-organized conglomeration of cabinets, school work, photos, fabric, artwork. Not a spare inch anywhere.

Mexican American Denver resident Dimitri Obergfell `s creation is called “Federal Fashion Mart,” in a cube based on small markets found in Denver’s Latino neighborhoods, filled with clothing, polished auto accessories, speakers, beer, cosmetics (a set of praying hands has colored nails), religious figures and other items to appeal to a contemporary city customer.

In the Fuse Box is an animated video, by John Jota Leanos (San Francisco) dealing with the Manifest Destiny approach of Americans who took over much of the West — from an indigenous and Mestizo point of view. It begins with a prairie filled with bison, a lone Indian singing by a campfire, arrival of pioneers, later a city … dramatic statement of a familiar story …

“Mi Tierra” will be included in next summer’s “Biennial of the Americas” celebration, which draws artists to comment on experiences in the Western Hemisphere.

These are intelligent, thoughtful, creative folks entering our adult world! A reception to honor them is from 4 to 6 p.m. March 9.

Artwork is both two- and threedimensional, in color and black and white, and in many instances shows the investment of hours of intensive work. Students study under active, exhibiting artist Jennifer Jeanelle, who said, “As always, I encourage students to find their own path with art. We looked at several influential artists from the past and present to determine a context in which art is created and common themes and concepts that artists address, then I encourage them to reflect on their own surroundings, what is important to them, evaluate their skill set and progress from there. As you would expect, we end up with artwork as diverse as the kids!”

Forrest Morgan, a Resolute customer, tries to keep his beer away from one of the potbellied pigs at the National Pig Day event on March 1.

Meandering along the patio and lawn adjacent to Resolute Brewery, curly tails and pink snouts seemed to hog the attention of customers on March 1.

Resolute Brewery, 7286 S. Yosemite St., Centennial, teamed with Hog Heaven Farm to bring awareness, education and pig kisses to the people of the south metro area. The event helped mark National Pig Day, which began in 1972.

So many people came to experience the animals at Resolute that the parking lot filled and people parked along the street and down alleyways. Customers and animals alike squealed in delight when customers were handed carrots and cupcakes to feed the pigs.

Hog Haven is a nonprofit pig rescue in Deer Trail, a rural community in eastern Arapahoe County. The farm rescues pigs from cases of abuse, neglect and abandonment and provides education to the public and potential pig owners. At the time of the visit, Hog Haven was home to 47 potbellied pigs and four commercial pork pigs.

Potbellied pigs range from 70 to 250 pounds. They eat a high-fiber diet and enjoy fruits and vegetables, but will eat almost anything they are offered.

They are the fourth smartest mammal, matching the intelligence of a 4- to 6-year-old human child, said Erin Brinkley-Burgardt, founder of Hog Haven Farm.

“They really have a mind of their own,” Brinkley-Burgardt said. “You can ask them to do something and they will actually think about it. If they don’t want to do it, they’re not going to do it.”

Many people surrender their pigs to the rescue because they do not get along with other animals in the household or they get much larger than the owner anticipated.

Brinkley-Burgardt said that compared to the 3-foot-tall, 650-pound commercial pigs, potbellied pigs really

The owners of Resolute Brewery donate their spent grain to Hog Haven farm after brewing their beers, said Andrew Duvall, Resolute’s community manager.

With a flying pig on his shirt and a beer in hand, Jacob Malocha, a Denver resident, walked his pig, Chutney, with a leash and harness. Malocha made a “pigstagram,” or a pig-related Instagram, for his pet, titled 1divineswine. Malocha is not associated with Hog Haven, but enjoys meeting fellow pig enthusiasts.

Malocha has owned Chutney since the 100-pound animal was a piglet.

“I couldn’t figure out what dog to get, and I can be pretty lazy and didn’t want to go on walks,” Malocha said, laughing. “Chutney likes to eat and watch Netflix, so it worked out well.

‘Snow White’ dancers from Littleton troupe to stage three performances Lone Tree Arts Center will host ballet shows with different principals

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dancers in the 105-member Littleton Youth Ballet Company transform into numerous dwarfs, three evil queens and three dainty Snow Whites as three groups of principal characters rehearse for three separate performances of the fairy-tale ballet this month. They dance in the ensemble when not the featured characters. For a lovely young woman to play that evil queen involves digging into darker emotions that are usually hidden, and the girls have been working hard to convey those emotions, choreographer Allison Jaramillo commented.

The company is based in the Littleton Ballet Academy on West Littleton Boulevard, which has students ranging from 18 months to adult. About 60 dancers will be featured in “Snow White.” Dancers and choreographers started working on the new production in January. (A prince will come from Colorado Ballet to complete the cast.)

One of the queens is Heritage High School student Alyssa Palazzo, who started dancing in elementary school,

IF YOU GO LITTLETON YOUTH BALLET will present “Snow White” at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, on March 18 (6 p.m.) and March 19 (noon and 5 p.m.). Tickets: $20$29. LoneTreeArtsCenter.org, 720-509-1000. performing principal roles in every production. She plans to move to Pennsylvania in the fall to pursue her dream of dancing professionally while completing her senior year in high school and training with a dance school there. Her manner reflects the atmosphere of caring that the school maintains as she interacts with the younger girls.

Add in a woods filled in with necessary woodland creatures, birds, dragonflies, villagers, court ladies and gentlemen and children, friends, a hunter and a henchman — and you’ll find a large studio filled with young dancers moving to music by Gabriel Faure, Gustav Holst and Daniel Auber.

When we visited on Feb. 16, the company dancers were well into learning new choreography by Allison and Bobbi Jaramillo for the new story ballet, “Snow White,” which the company will perform at Lone Tree Arts Center on March 18 (6 p.m.) and March 19 (noon and 5 p.m.)

Families are involved. When an exhausted Snow White escapes from her evil stepmother, she finds her way to the home of the Seven Dwarfs, where

Littleton Youth Ballet dancers are rehearsing for three performances of the story ballet “Snow White” at Lone Tree Arts Center on March 18 and 19. Allison Jaramillo is choreographer.

COURTESY PHOTO she will find seven little beds, made by seven dancers’ dads — and a grandfather. Many costumes will be made by moms of dancers and the nonprofit ballet company will rent a backdrop, Jaramillo said. The technical crew at Lone Tree will handle lights and sound.

The dwarfs come in from work and find Snow White asleep in their home.

At first frightened, they soon learn to love her and there’s a nice scene when she affectionately awakens them the next morning. (Jaramillo commented that the dwarfs made up their own names, since the company is not allowed to use the Disney names — Friendly, Nosy, Brainy, Adventurous,

The story follows the Brothers Grimm version with the poisoned apple and the finale where all ends well and they live happily ever after …

“These are all honor students, with over 4.0 averages,” Jaramillo said proudly. They are levels six, seven and eight in the Academy’s system and are promoted in the summer. Many come three times a week and the advanced students are there six days a week.

Some advanced students look for summer intensive programs elsewhere to enhance their skills.

Wolves swamp Warriors in Sweet 16 Arapahoe girls stage tough fight but can’t overcome big Grandview lead

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The faces of the Arapahoe players leaving the court after the final buzzer reflected their disappoint-

ment in the season-ending loss 82-44 loss to Grandview in the Feb. 28 Sweet 16 Class 5A state girls basketball playoffs.

“I am proud of our girls. They played their hearts out because we wanted to keep playing. We had a game plan going into this game and the strategy worked for a while but it is tough to stay with them when they can pound in the lane,” Arapahoe coach Jerry Knafelc said after the game. “Our strategy was to

use a platoon system to maintain a faster tempo. It worked for a while and we were 10 points behind at the end of the first quarter. But they used their athleticism and their height advantage to score a bunch of points to pull further ahead and we never were able to catch up.”

They were tears of OVERTIME joy and tears of remembrance for former Lakewood standout Mackenzie Forrest, who died in an automobile accident on March 13, 2016.

“This was for Little Mac (Forrest),” Emsbo said. “I started crying with like 20 seconds Jim Benton left. Everybody knows she is up there and I’m so happy. This was all she wanted. I’m so glad we could give it to her.”

Emsbo, a 6-foot-4 junior, wore different colored socks in the March 3 game.

“That was her thing, crazy socks,” she said. “We didn’t all wear them tonight but home games we all have crazy socks.

I wanted to keep it going.”

In the Final Four, Lakewood plays Cherry Creek at 8:30 p.m. March 9 at the Denver Coliseum.

Coaching carousel Joe Johnson, of ThunderRidge, and Corey McNellis, of Ponderosa, have been icons at their respective schools.

Both, however, have stepped down as head coaches at the schools.

Johnson, who has been a football coach at ThunderRidge for 18 years, 17 as head coach, is leaving to take over the football program at Cherokee Trail and become the Cougars’ third head coach in three years.

McNellis, a two-time state champion at Ponderosa, has been the Mustangs’ head wrestling coach for the past 10 seasons and has coached at the Parker school for 18 years. He still works as a dean at the school, but is looking to land a position as an assistant principal/athletic director.

“I have been either a competitor or coach in this sport since I was 4-yearsold,” McNellis said. “It’s time to experience life without wrestling.”

Meanwhile, Rock Canyon announced that Brian Tinker is the school’s new head football coach replacing Brian Lamb and taking over a team that went 3-7 during the 2016 season.

Tinker was head coach at Fossil Ridge in Fort Collins in 2014 and 2015 and made the state playoffs both seasons with 5-5 records. His contract was not renewed in March of 2016, and his removal sparked protests from players and parents.

Englewood girls take third in district playoffs Molly Ostrowski puts a shot off the glass for Englewood during the Pirates girls basketball team’s opening game against Jefferson. TOM

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Pirates raised the bar for accomplishment as the Englewood girls basketball team finished the season with an 11-11 record that included wrapping up the season with a 33-26 win over Fort Lupton to take third place in the state Class 3A district playoffs.

“This was a great season for this team and for our program. We played well all season and this is the best season for Englewood girls basketball in at least the last 14 years,” Pirates coach Thomas Rode said. “I am so proud of our players. They used what they learned in every practice and game to help them improve. That showed as we played our best basketball down the stretch of the season and won six of our last eight games.”

This was a special year for most of the Pirates players and their coach as Rode became the head coach in the 2013-14 season, when the seniors on the 2016-17 team were freshmen.

MUNDS

“We sort of grew up together,” the coach said.

“We won two games my first season as head coach. We just kept working to get better and this season our seniors were our leaders as we had a great year.”

Senior Sydney Gonzales played four years of varsity basketball for the Pirates.

“All four seasons were fun because I had been playing basketball with most of my teammates since middle school,” she said. “Coach Rode was new and he helped us learn his style of play. We didn’t win a lot of games at first but we began to see we were a pretty good team and

became more confident we could win.”

She said the 2026-17 season was a lot of fun but it was also sort of sad because she and her friends knew it was their last season playing basketball for the Pirates.

“I think we all focused on being the best team we could be because it was our last season at Englewood,” she said. “We really played well and it was a great season.”

Gonzales was one of 11 seniors on the varsity roster this season. She said she hopes the athletes who were on JV this season learned by watching the varsity and will help continue building a

strong tradition of winning basketball at Englewood.

The senior athlete hardly had time to catch her breath as she planned to join the Pirates soccer team as they began practice Feb. 27. She said that will be a fun season too because many of her basketball teammates will also be playing soccer for Englewood.

Over the recently concluded girls basketball season the Pirates finished 3-4 in league and they were hosts for the district playoffs that began Feb. 20. Englewood beat the Denver School of Science and Technology, Green Valley Ranch 38-33 to advance to play Weld Central, with the winner advancing to the next round of the playoffs. Weld Central won the Feb. 22 game, 55-39.

But the Pirates rebounded to win the Feb. 24 third-place game against Fort Lupton.

The score was tied 22-22 at the end of regulation but Englewood went on to win the game by outscoring Fort Lupton 11-4 in overtime to win 33-26.

The Pirates’ average score was 40.4 point a game over the 22-game season. They also averaged 33.8 rebounds per game.

Molly Ostrowski was the season scoring leader as she scored 169 points in 22 games, which included 14 baskets from three-point range. She also pulled down 130 rebounds.

Teammate Courtney Schauer scored 149 points over the season and was the team leader in rebounds with 131. She also made 84 assists and 94 steals.

Jen Korinek was next on the list of top scorers over the season as she scored 130 points.

Rode said since 11 of 13 varsity players graduate in June, next year there will be a lot of new faces on the Pirates girls basketball team.

“We have a couple reserves coming back, plus we had a very good junior varsity team, so I look at next year not as a time to rebuild but a time to reload,” he said. “We will be a young team but we should be pretty good, so we could surprise some opponents. So I am already looking forward to the summer program and the next basketball season.”

South metro girls basketball playoff roundup for 5A, 4A STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek is the lone team from the south metro area still playing in the girls basketball playoffs.

The Bruins, seeded 12th, will take a 19-7 record into the March 9 Class 5A semifinal game against ninth-seeded Lakewood (21-5) in an 8:30 p.m. game at the Denver Coliseum.

Quarterfinal games Cherry Creek 56, Ralston Valley 39: The Bruins, which lost twice to the Mustangs during the regular season, shot 50 percent from the field in the win, which ended a nine-game win-

ning streak for Ralston Valley. Junior Sydney Mech led the Bruins with 27 points. Lauren McMillen pulled down 15 rebounds.

Lakewood 61, Highlands Ranch 49: The Falcons committed 22 turnovers in the loss to the Tigers as Lakewood avenged a regular-season setback to the Falcons. Autumn Watts and Kasey Neubert each had 12 points for Highlands Ranch, which had three starters in foul trouble during the second half. It was the first loss to a Colorado team this season as the Falcons finished with a 23-3 record.

Evergreen 59, Valor Christian 40: The Cougars outscored the Eagles

36-19 in the second half to end Valor’s attempt to three-peat as state champions. Valor finished the season with a 17-9 record after the setback to Evergreen in the third meeting between the teams this season. The clubs had split the first two games.

Sweet 16 games Highlands Ranch 60, Castle View 36: Watts scored 21 points and Courtney Humbarger contributed 15 to spark the Falcons to a win over Continental League foe Castle View.

Sophomore India Cole and senior Hannah Cushman topped the Sabercats with nine points each.

Cherry Creek 71, Fruita Monument 43: Van Gytenbeek scored 17 points and had 12 assists in the Bruins’ win on the Western Slope. Van Gytenbeek was one of five players who scored in double figures for Creek.

Grandview 82, Arapahoe 44: Senior Macy Zieler scored 13 points for the Warriors, who fell behind 46-19 at halftime and could never come close the remainder of the game.

Valor Christian 60, George Washington 41: The Eagles shot 59 percent from the field and had three players in double figures, led by 16 points from Tess Boade in the Class 4A win over the Patriots.

Arapahoe point guard Macy Ziegler battles to put up a shot for Arapahoe over the defensive efforts by Grandview’s Lexi Kelly during the Feb. 28 Sweet 16 Class 5A state girls basketball playoff game. Ziegler made the shot and led the Warriors in scoring with 13 points but Grandview built an early lead and went on to win the game, 82-44. TOM MUNDS

FROM PAGE 24

9-9 about midway through the first period, the Wolves scored the next eight points to pull ahead, led 22-12 going into the second quarter, built on the lead and went on to win the game, 82-44.

Arapahoe depended heavily on hitting outside shots all season but they had trouble finding the range against Grandview. Then, the Wolves’ height advantage made it very tough to try to take the ball to the hoop. Grandview also used their height advantage to crash the boards, so Arapahoe usually only got one shot each time down the floor. The Wolves used the same height advantage on offense to pull down rebounds and score a lot of points on put-backs and second or third shots.

Coach Knafelc said there was no lack of effort as the girls ignored the score and played hard up to the final buzzer.

“The outside shot has been our best offensive weapon this year,” he said.

“Tonight we played hard the entire game but we needed to hit more of our

shots in order to match up well with Grandview.”

Senior Macy Zeigler said it was a tough, physical game against Grandview.

“We knew it would be a hard game because they are in our conference and we had already played them twice,” she said after the game.

“Grandview is a very good team. They are insanely athletic, very quick and they play a very physical style. We knew what we faced and came into the game ready to give it all we had and play as hard as possible.”

She said basketball is almost like a family tradition and it is the only sport she plays. She said after graduation she will attend South Dakota School of Mines and play basketball for the Hardrockers.

The Feb. 28 game ended the 2016-17 girls basketball season for the Warriors and Knafelc said he expects Arapahoe to have a good team next year.

“We graduate five seniors and they will all be missed,” he said. “But we have a lot of kids coming back and all our lower-level teams played very well this season, so I think the future is bright for Arapahoe girls basketball.”
