Newsman with ties to Littleton dies at 63 Randy Bangert was son of noted journalist who worked at Independent

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sad news crossed though our newsroom with the word that Greeley Tribune editor emeritus Randy Bangert had passed away on May 9 at age 63 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

He had ties to Littleton and the Independent. Not only did he deliver the paper but his dad, Vern Bangert was Bangert co-owner and publisher, with editor Garrett Ray, from 1969 to 1981.

Randy Bangert graduated from Arapahoe High School and went to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, where he started part-time work with the Tribune as a student journalist, first as a clerk, then as a sportswriter, according to the Tribune’s Teri Frei.

He was hired full time before he graduated and never worked anywhere else. First the sports editor, he then became assistant city editor in 1982.

Frei says he became editor of the Greeley Tribune in 2006 and was applauded by many associates for

MY NAME IS

CURT FULSTER

his balanced, professional manner as he dealt with controversy and with people with whom he may have disagreed — in city government and in local, state and national politics.

One can imagine the dinner table talk at home while Randy Bangert was growing up. The award-winning Littleton Independent was an institution in itself after many years with nationally recognized editor Houstoun Waring at the helm.

Vern Bangert was working at the Independent after earlier newspaper work in Nebraska, as part of a 24year newspaper career that included founding the Milford Times in Milford, Nebraska.

Waring had gone up to Boulder to visit the University of Colorado journalism school, asking for the best graduate. Garrett Ray was recommended and hired after he and his wife Nina spent a year in Brigham City, Utah.

Garrett Ray and Vern Bangert took over ownership of the Littleton Independent and carried on in Waring’s tradition, at times, taking a position that displeased some Littleton residents. (Ray, incidentally, grew up in Greeley and his mother worked for the Tribune.)

Randy Bangert and Garrett Ray, 81, were both recently inducted into the Colorado Press Association Hall of Fame.

In 1981, Waring and Vern Bangert sold the Independent and Bangert retired. He died in March 2001 in Arizona, from cancer, which also took the life of his son.

Children’s book author, former youth hockey coach Books kids won’t hate I started writing children’s books about three years ago, and soon I’ll be publishing my seventh book. I used to coach youth hockey, and one of the player’s parents told me how his son hated reading, so I figured I’d take a shot at writing something kids wouldn’t hate.

I try to make sure all my books have a good moral. One is about a snake who gets bullied by turtles, because they think all snakes are bad. He keeps trying to fit in with them, but at the end he learns to just be himself.

Another is about a balloon who plays a game with a sunflower and a hot air balloon to see who can jump the highest. He wants to jump to the moon and keeps trying goofier ways.

They’re fun.

For a good cause I visit Ronald McDonald Houses with a friend of mine who’s also an author. We read to any kids who are there. We each bring a handful of books to give out to kids. I’m also doing Donation Books, where I write and illustrate a book and donate the profits to charity. I chose a charity that supports music education for kids.

I’m doing another one with profits going to Colorado Veterans Project, to support vets who are down on their luck.

Last year I held a Donation Month, where any profits I got went to dogs for kids with disabilities, and to help find a cure for childhood cancer.

Curt Fulster writes children’s books under the name C. Fulsty. COURTESY OF ROBIN CAIN Nuts and bolts I have a job working for a company that sells nuts and bolts. I’d love to pay my bills with writing. Right now writing is a nights and weekends pursuit.

It’s weird saying I’m an author because I’m not living off it, but I hope I can do it full time someday. All my books are on Amazon currently.

Nom de plume My pen name came about by following Dr. Seuss’ naming convention of tweaking your name a bit so it’s more memorable. Also, I always thought the best authors were those with initials.

There are a lot of people in hockey whose names end in Y, so I combined both of those tropes and came up with my pen name: C. Fulsty.

New building taking shape on former site of Valley Feed Three-story structure at west end of downtown to hold retail, offices

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The newest addition to downtown Littleton’s rapidly evolving Main Street is taking shape on the site of the old Valley Feed store, at the northwest end of downtown near the Melting Pot fondue restaurant.

Simply called 2679 Main Street, the building stands three stories tall, and will feature street-facing retail totaling roughly 3,800 square feet. The upper floors, which are set back from the street, will hold office space. The building is expected to be open for business by this coming October, said Josh Rowland, the principal of LAI Design Group, which designed the structure.

No tenants are currently lined up, but interest in the space is high, said broker Jay Johnson of VanWest Real Estate Group, which is marketing the space.

The building incorporates 55 parking spaces, most of which will be in a garage toward the rear of the building.

Jon Benallo, the senior vice president of 2679 Main Street Partners, which owns the building, did not respond to requests for comment.

The building’s design was modified to bring it into compliance with guidelines of the Main Street Historic District, said Jocelyn Mills, the city’s

The building on the site of the old Valley Feed store on Main Street in downtown Littleton was modified to conform with the standards of the historic district that encompasses downtown.

DAVID GILBERT community development director.

“The approval process resulted in the developer eliminating a planned fourth story that would have included residential units,” Mills said. “The building also butts up against the sidewalk, like most of the other buildings along Main Street.”

The developers agreed to incorporate other design elements and materials in order to meet conditions imposed by the city’s Historic Preservation Board, Mills said.

The building could help draw foot traffic to the west end of Main Street,

which has historically seen less economic activity than the east end, said Greg Reinke, the president of the Historic Downtown Merchants Association.

“It’s going to be awesome,” Reinke said. “The shopping district isn’t broken up anymore. In all the years I’ve lived here, hardly anyone ever ventured down that far. It’s going to bring more people, but that’s what we need.

That’s what’s making the area successful. If you look at the other new blood in the area, like The Tavern and Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub, they’re investing in

their properties and downtown.”

The building is a sign of the times, said Mickey Kempf, the president of Bradford Auto Body, which is located immediately east of the new building and is dwarfed by the new façade.

“I look at it as your city’s either going to grow or die,” Kempf said. “If you want it to die, hey, complain like hell.

But if not, don’t worry about it. Things happen. That building next to us, it’s huge. Is it something I’m enthused about? Not necessarily. But our city is growing because of people like that who are building and keeping things going. I don’t have any great complaints. It might even bring in more business. Who knows?”

The building is a net gain for downtown, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“One business is being replaced by perhaps up to a dozen,” Brinkman said.

“It provides employment and more services for residents so they don’t have to spend their money in other towns. The developers had a thoughtful consideration of design and how it fits into the character of downtown. I appreciate diligence on trying to maintain our uniqueness. In this instance they were spot on. You have a developer who was willing to work with the constraints, and that’s huge. Valley Feed served its purpose. You have to move on. A feed store downtown is no longer appropriate. We need to grow and change in a style that’s our own. As long as we continue to do it with an awareness of who we are, we’ll continue to be one of the most admired suburbs in the metro area.”

Centennial opts into countywide transportation forum Partnership to focus funding on traffic improvement priorities

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tired of that thin stretch of East County Line Road between South Broadway and South University Boulevard?

How about the intersections on East Arapahoe Road? Ever lament the commute through East Belleview Avenue?

Drivers may be in luck.

Centennial agreed to enter a partnership between several cities and towns in Arapahoe County at a recent city council meeting, where the city opted into a transportation forum that meets to decide how federal money granted to the county will be spent.

If all entities opt in, the agreement would also include the cities of Aurora, Cherry

Hills Village, Englewood, Glendale, Greenwood Village, Sheridan and Littleton; the towns of Bennett, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Deer Trail and Foxfield; and Arapahoe County.

“This is the first agreement of its kind” for the city, said Travis Greiman, public-works director for Centennial.

Historically, the city had to compete against the whole region of the Denver Regional Council of Governments — including a multitude of cities and towns in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson and more counties — for federal transportation money, a city report said.

DRCOG, often pronounced “Dr. Cog,” leads urban-planning efforts for the Denver area and acts as the conduit for grant money to flow to local agencies.

Under a new proposed model, money would be broken up among counties in the region for local transportation projects. Cities and towns

would still compete for 20 percent of the funds for regional projects, like a project on Interstate 70, but 80 percent of the money would be split among each county based on population, vehicle miles traveled and the employment in the counties. Each county would oversee the funds, and the county and its cities and towns would compete for that money.

Arapahoe County would receive about $35 million for the 2020-23 cycle of the roadwayproject funding under that proposed model.

Although different transportation projects have unique requirements that determine cost, for context, $35 million is roughly half the cost of the interchange project at Interstate 25 and Arapahoe Road, Greiman said.

To oversee how the dollars are spent, the municipalities in Arapahoe County met to create an intergovernmental agreement, or an IGA, to establish a collaborative forum on transportation —

PUTTING HEADS TOGETHER A collaborative transportation forum in Arapahoe County that could include several cities and towns — like Aurora, Englewood, Littleton and Centennial — may be the new system that decides where federal transportation dollars go throughout the county.

The group started meeting in October and is on a monthly meeting schedule, but the intent of the agreement is to meet on an as-needed basis, said Travis Greiman, public-works director for Centennial. that’s what Centennial City Council approved April 16.

The cities and towns will have say in what the best use of the money is.

And it’s important to have a seat at the table — the list of priorities in Arapahoe County is long, Greiman said.

“It includes projects like a corridor study of Santa Fe (Drive) through Arapahoe County, Hampden/Broadway bridge replacement, I-25/Bel-

Centennial agreed to enter the partnership in April. Other votes on opting into the proposed IGA, which establishes that the forum will govern the funds, are scheduled for the member cities’ and towns’ elected officials throughout May and June, Greiman said.

All the proposed projects are identified in Centennial’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan and its 2015 10-year plan for capital improvements, or infrastructure updates. leview interchange improvements (and) Parker/Quincy intersection improvements,” Greiman said. The two leading candidates within Centennial limits are County Line Road widening from University Boulevard to Broadway, and intersection improvements on Arapahoe Road from I-25 to South Parker Road, he added.

New site celebrates vista on High Line Canal Trail Sumac Hill Farm Overlook peers across horse pastures, Rockies

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

tanding at Sumac Hill Farm Overlook along the High Line Canal Trail in Centennial, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported either back in time or far away.

The overlook, just north of Goodson Recreation Center and deKoevend Park near South University Boulevard and East Arapahoe Road, gazes down on the rolling hills of the Smedley family’s horse farm. A coalition of local entities secured 10 of the farm’s 12 acres as a conservation easement in 2016, meaning they will stay undeveloped in perpetuity.

The 600-square-foot platform at the overlook, which officially opened to the public on May 16, represents the culmination of the easement efforts, providing a place of rest for trail users to enjoy the vista.

The easement and overlook came to fruition thanks to the efforts of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the City of Centennial, Arapahoe County Open Space, the South Metro Land Conservancy and the Trust for Public Lands. The total cost of the easement was $1.1 million.

The easement and overlook secure a long-term amenity for trail users, said John Ostermiller, the chairman of the South Suburban Board of Directors.

“These acres will forever be preserved, offering residents and visitors who jog, bike, stroll, and ride horses a forever opportunity to view wildlife and reconnect with nature along this beautiful

Sumac Hill Farm dates back to 1947, said Tom Smedley, the farm’s proprietor.

“My father grew up in Denver and always wanted to live in the country,” Smedley said. “He served in World War II, and when he came back he bought this place for $200 an acre … My father had a dream that this would become open space and be preserved for everyone for generations to come. This project was the consummation of his dream. He loved playing with his horses along the trail, and people

The Smedleys operate the farm today as a horsemanship school, and also keep bees and sell honey.

Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko called the project a great example of interagency collaboration.

The overlook and easement are an example of your tax dollars at work, said Josh Tennyson, Arapahoe County’s open spaces grants and acquisitions manager.

“This is also a partnership with our citizens and voters who voted for the Arapahoe County Open Space sales and use tax in 2003 and reauthorized it in 2011,” Tennyson said. “Without proceeds and funding from that tax, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish a lot of these great projects, especially this one along the High Line Canal.”

“We’re all in the situation of managing growth,” said Stephanie Piko, mayor of Centennial, in September.

Centennial plans to take the technological route and enhance its system of traffic cameras and sensors. Doing so will enable the city to time its traffic lights more accurately to traffic flows, Piko said. Police, fire officers and medical responders would also benefit from getting real-time updates about traffic and accidents.

That’s the kind of project that the Smart Cities Alliance aims to share data about among its members. It

But that alliance and the Arapahoe County forum are likely to be independent of each other, Greiman said.

“The Smart Cities Alliance is focused on advancing technology,” Greiman said. We “don’t expect federal participation in the (alliance) at this moment, whereas the transportation forum is about programming federal transportation dollars within Arapahoe County.”

Chatfield litigants scurry to speed appeal as construction advances Audubon Society seeks to stop reservoir expansion before trees removed

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The little yellow bird clutched in Meredith McBurney’s hand didn’t seem to mind that it couldn’t fly away.

“This isn’t her first rodeo,” McBurney said of the yellow warbler with its tiny legs gingerly pinched between her fingers at a field research station near the South Platte River at the south end of Chatfield State Park.

“She comes back here every year. We banded her in 2016. She winters in Central America, but she returns to where she was hatched.”

McBurney, a biologist with the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, said she’s concerned about the looming and somewhat uncertain effects of the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project, which will see the high-water mark of the reservoir raised by 12 feet, and require the removal of trees in the “inundation zone” — prime bird habitat, she said.

“Conserving birds is tough because they need good habitat everywhere they spend time,” McBurney said. “If birds come back to a place they’ve been going year after year and their habitat is gone, depending on the species, their survival rate goes way down.”

The Audubon Society of Greater Denver, which operates a bird research and education center in the park, recently filed a motion to expedite their appeal of a lawsuit against the reallocation project, saying that by the time judges hear arguments in the case — perhaps this fall —irreparable harm will have been done to vital wildlife habitat along the creeks that enter the reservoir.

Construction well underway “The health of wildlife is an indicator of the overall health of the ecosystem, including its health for people,” said Polly Reetz, Audubon Denver’s Conservation Chair.

“We’ve never said the water they want to capture isn’t needed. But why screw up a state park when you’ve got other options?”

Reetz and her husband, Gene, have been instrumental in filing and pursuing Audubon’s lawsuit against the project, a $130 million effort to add an additional 20,600 acre-feet of water storage capacity to the reservoir, to be used by eight municipal water providers and agricultural organizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado.

Construction, which started last winter, is expected to wrap up in about a year.

The project, which will increase the maximum allowable fluctuation of the reservoir’s depth from 9 feet to 21, does not mean that the reservoir will routinely be at its new high-water mark, and will likely only reach that point in years of significant spring runoff.

Polly Reetz, left, and her husband Gene have been instrumental in pushing ahead with a lawsuit against a plan to expand Chatfield Reservoir’s storage capacity. PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT If you build it Chatfield Reservoir, built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which leases the surrounding land to Colorado’s state-park system.

Audubon’s lawsuit claims that the Corps, which was tasked with preparing an Environmental Impact Statement to gauge the project’s compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, failed to properly consider alternatives that would meet the water providers’ goal of increasing water availability to the swiftly growing Front Range.

Audubon contends that the Corps rejected possibilities including making use of upstream gravel pits for water storage, buying water storage in nearby Rueter-Hess Reservoir, or examining the impact of enhanced water conservation among water users.

The Corps rebutted, saying that the gravel pit storage idea was excessively complicated for the amount of water that could have been stored, RueterHess’s water is all bought up already, and that increased water conservation efforts are a great idea but don’t meet the project’s goals of increasing water storage capacity.

A judge ruled in favor of the Corps in December 2017, and Audubon announced their intent to appeal the decision in early 2018.

Audubon pushed back against the Corps’ rebuttals in a recent legal brief, saying the Corps’ explanations don’t hold water in light of other evidence, and that some documents say the project’s goal is increasing water availability, not storage capacity, meaning that conservation could satisfy the needs of the water users.

The Colorado Court of Appeals is currently slated to hear oral arguments in the case in the fall, by which time Audubon says irreversible damage may already have occurred.

A judge last year denied Audubon’s request for an injunction against

further construction while litigation is ongoing.

Down by the river In the meantime, the Reetzes say damage is already being done. They say new haul roads now traverse the park, including one slated to cut through the parking lot in front of the Audubon Center.

Not quite, said Scott Roush, the manager of Chatfield State Park.

“We did not and won’t create a new haul road by the Audubon Center,” Roush said. “There’s a Denver Water Board road down there we have permission to use. All the construction crews are doing is bringing trucks through the parking lot, which technically doesn’t fully belong to the Audubon Center. Their lease specifies that they share the lot with other users.”

The Reetzes counter that the truck traffic will hinder the movement of the numerous school buses that drop off field trip students at the center.

Access to the route is crucial to performing mitigation along the South Platte ahead of the project’s completion, said Tom Browning, the general manager of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, an umbrella agency representing the project’s various stakeholders.

“CRMC will restore the maintenance road to its original condition as a result of any damage caused by the construction equipment,” Browning said.

The river mitigation largely consists of removing beloved trees, Polly Reetz said.

Roush countered that many of the trees slated to be removed are already dead, dying, or hazardous. Roush added that crews will plant upward of 100,000 new trees uphill from the new inundation zone.

“We were also able to save a lot more trees than we initially thought we could,” Roush said.

“The earlier plans called for a lot of

The park’s recreational facilities are in the process of being moved, which Gene Reetz fears means they’ll be taken from shady groves and placed on hot open prairie.

“There will be areas where trees will be moved that could look different,” Roush responded. “When we move some of the picnic areas it’ll take some time for the trees to establish, but they are planting trees in those areas.”

‘A magical experience’ Gene said the bottom line is that he hopes Chatfield can remain the environmentally significant place it is.

“You have such a diversity of habitat here,” Gene said. “You have grasslands, rabbitbrush, riparian areas with hundred-year-old cottonwoods.

Lots of wildlife. There aren’t too many places that have that diversity of habitat.”

The value of Chatfield’s environment goes beyond its importance to wildlife, Gene said.

“It’s so close to Denver,” Gene said.

“It’s where a family can come for a day for $8. A lot of families can’t go to Rocky Mountain National Park or Yellowstone.

“It’s so important to have nature close to home. When you see kids come out here and play in the creek or catch a frog, it’s a magical experience for them.”

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

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This time around, lawmakers passed a $645 million boost over the next two years in a bill that would also ask voters in 2019 to approve about $2.3 billion in bond funding for transportation. That option would put Colorado on the hook for up to $3.25 billion in borrowing costs over 20 years.

But before that, outside groups may

ask voters in 2018 to approve either another spending requirement without taxes, or allow a sales-tax increase.

“The Legislature will have no choice, I think, but to spend more on transportation and spend less on other things” if the first option passed, said Chris Holbert, state Senate majority leader.

Holbert, R-Parker, was skeptical of the tax increase passing, “given the voter reaction to prior tax increases.”

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

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

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

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

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

Lawmakers passed a bill that

extends the state’s ability to allocate affordable-housing tax credits through b o the year 2024. It would have expired fi at the end of 2019, according to the Legislature’s website.

It was a welcome move, but Colora- b a dans need more support, state Rep. t Faith Winter said. s “I’m excited that we were able to (extend) affordable-hous- a ing tax credits so that more affordable-housing e projects can get off the a s ground,” said Winter, D-Westminster. “However,h E the response from the Legislature was woefully p inadequate in addressing c Winter the affordable-housing l crisis in Colorado.”

The Legislature passed what state o t Rep. Chris Kennedy called a “rents ers’ rights bill” that would require landlords to provide a copy of a lease d to each tenant, as well as receipts for cash rent payments, he said.

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

PERA gets fix Senate Republicans passed in March what they called “sweeping new changes” to the state’s public-employee pension fund, which lawmakers say is at least $30 billion underfunded. The SEE SESSION, P9

Tate said.

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

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

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

“The bill was certainly half a loaf, but I don’t think anyone really expected more than half a loaf,” said Sondermann, who co-heads a group

bill eventually passed both chambers of the Legislature on the session’s final day.

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

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

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

called Secure Futures Colorado, which has pushed for reform of the program.

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

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

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

Lawmakers rejected the injectionfacility bill, but a bill to limit the amount of opioids that can be ini-

tially prescribed passed, Priola said.

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

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

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

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

It felt like family at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice, where a few dozen students heard teachers recount their stories as they crossed the finish line of their high-school careers.

“Three graduates will leave a hole in my heart,” said teacher Ginger Rode, introducing students who built relationships with her in their years at Finest.

A language-arts teacher told the crowd how one student “was the rock of our family.” A large number of students transferred to the school from other metro-area high schools, and they stood alongside the podium one by one as the audience listened to their stories May 12 on graduation day.

One, from a STRIVE Prep school, plans to attend Community College of Denver for welding. One was a graduate of the cosmetology program at Finest.

VOICES

Life may not be predictable, but graduation speeches are QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

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

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

I have a doozy too. I’ve been told you have to start with a joke. I have one about Ted Nugent.

“What’s the difference between Ted Nugent and a laundry bag full of frozen underwear?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Speakers often try too hard to say something profound.

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

Some speakers sermonize.

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

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

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

And I would close with some young women singing “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”

— a cappella. There wouldn’t be a dry eye in

the joint.

All seriousness aside, I have a small request.

If you or your kid is graduating, don’t send an announcement to an edge-acquaintance who hasn’t heard from you in four years.

It’s an insult.

It just might look like you are beggaring a gift.

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

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

Although for some, it is the end of the line.

High school and college years are lovely contrivances, not the Real World.

I didn’t want to leave my alma mater. It was paradise. The campus itself is an island of accomplished educators, bright, international students, and exquisite architecture and landscaping.

Michael Kohut Littleton

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

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

But you see, that was not

always the way it was for me.

And unfortunately, that is not the way it is for many of us in this world, too many of us.

Instead of having people in our lives who give us hope and encouragement, we sometimes have people who want to tear us down and discourage us. And the problem is that sometimes they don’t even know they are doing it. They only do it because that was the way they were treated, that was the way they were spoken to, that was the way they grew up. These are the people who were told that life is tough and anyone who tells you differently is lying. So instead of becoming encouragers themselves, they fell into the trap of becoming a discourager.

We need to break that cycle.

What we need is the courage to become an encourager and break the cycle of negativity and pessimism in the world.

Can you imagine living in a

Can you imagine living in a family where hopes and dreams are the topics of conversations instead of yells and screams? Why don’t we or why can’t we shift gears from the negative to the positive? It’s because we lack the courage to act differently, say things differently, and hope things differently with those we love, who we live with, work with, and worship with.

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

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

4. Helps Cultivate Gratitude — While walking along there will be moments when you feel extreme gratitude. For the day, your last amazing shot, the people you’re with, the weather, etc. A sense of gratitude also benefits your professional life by noticing the small improvements, your new customers, and improved attitudes. As the popular saying goes, “develop an attitude of

gratitude” and watch your life transform. As Bobby Jones said, “I never learned anything from a match that I won.”

5. Increased Self-Awareness — The time between shots allows you to reflect on your previous swing and learn from it. What was good? Was your mental attitude positive or negative? By developing a habit of mindfulness you can check in on the status of your current thoughts. This awareness allows you to more readily develop new positive habits and begin creating positive changes in your life. Ben Hogan is famous for saying “I never played a round when I didn’t learn something new about the game.”

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

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

“I’ll bet today is going to be the best day ever.” “I am so proud of you.” “I admire you.” “You are on your way to the top.” “I see you going places.”

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

Butterfly Pavilion looks at survival tricks

W Every year since 2000, veterans, Gold Star families and members of the public gather on Memorial Day for a tribute event in Denver to remember those who gave their lives in service of the country.

Remember the

Events offer a chance to honor sacrifice

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

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

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

“But I started getting involved in the

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

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

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

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

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

come from all over Colorado.”

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

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

The ceremony is free and open to the public.

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

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

hen most people come across creatures like a spider or a centipede, they probably don’t pause to appreciate the tools that enabled these animals to survive for millions of years.

But spend a little time at the Butterfly Pavilion’s new survival exhibit, and one will be able to learn all about the adaptability of these surprising animals. The Butterfly Pavilion, COMING 6252 W. 104th Ave. in ATTRACTIONS Westminster, unveiled its new “Survival” exhibit in March, and it will be on display for about a year.

“These animals have developed some amazing survival methods over countless years,” said pavilion entomologist MaClarke Reader rio Padilla. “Instead of being stuck in a box, we want to give visitors a chance to see how our animals move, feed and interact with their environment.”

The exhibit provides an intimate look at how a variety of invertebrates have developed survival skills in a variety of areas, focusing on moving, hiding, feeding and fighting, all in pursuit of a simple goal — staying alive.

The interactive exhibit shows how creatures like bees, beetles, spiders and more use camouflage, venom and other skills to eat, evade predators and attract mates. Visitors will get to use a dragonfly launch pad, fight in a simulated beetle battle, and get hands-on with Rosie the Tarantula.

“We think it’s really important to provide those hands-on experiences to visitors,” Padilla explained. “We work to ensure there’s a touch component to all of our exhibits.”

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

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

Video games inspire sculptor with works at Denver Botanic Gardens Steel and paint are mediums for expression in pieces on display

DON’T FORGET THE PLANTS Plant fans must not miss the very special Echiums, spotted around near the entrance at Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St. in Denver. Gardens CEO Brian Vogt commented that they looked like Dr. Seuss designed them, with tiny red flowers dotting them. It’s taken five years for the horticulture staff to master growing them, he said, after they came from the Canary Islands (Spanish territory, near Morocco).

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sculptor Mike Whiting brings his memories of vintage 1980s video games (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc.) into another realm as a visitor finds his oversized images amidst the flowers, trees and shrubs that ordinarily inhabit the lush, green Denver Botanic Gardens/York Street grounds in the “Pixelated” sculpture exhibit.

Gardens CEO Brian Vogt, a Littleton native, spoke before a press tour: “The relationship between human life and the natural world dates back 5,000 years … the power of nature, Mike’s video games … The games manipulate that world.”

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

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

At the entrance to DBG, one meets “Ghost and Castle,” (2016) two pieces created with paint and steel, as are all 11 of Whiting’s sculptures tucked into the Gardens. “They are a visual palindrome,” he remarked as he started walking through his works, “the opposite of each other,” related to the game Castles.

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

“Bird” (2012), a very large avian image in robin’s egg blue, was commissioned for a bird-watching spot, he said, and the smaller, orange “Birdie” is exhibited at Brigham Young University (his school).

“Buck” (2007) is tucked into a grove of trees, the sort of setting you’d imagine finding a deer, munching on plants and grass. Loaned by the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, it is scratched and “feels like an old pickup truck,” Whiting observed. Asked if the scratches bothered him, he talked about “natural, but not nice …,” adding that “once sold, it’s not mine anymore.” A New York gallery owner bought one with graffiti, he recalled — “that’s part

loaned by the City and County of Denver. They are old and scuffed — and two of Whiting’s favorites. “Mr. Green” is after Whiting’s father-in-law.

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

The larger “Wave” (2018) was especially made for this exhibit and he was especially pleased with the siting of “Cactus” in the Rock Garden — “one of the most beautifully situated in the exhibit.”

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

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

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

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

This week alone, you couldn’t go wrong with James Taylor at Fiddler’s Green on May 27, The Wonder Years with Tigers Jaw and Tiny Moving Parts at the Ogden on May 30, or Gang of Youths at the Globe Hall on the same day.

But for my money, the best way to kick off the summer concert season is with one of pop’s reigning queens — Taylor Swift, who will be stopping

by Sports Authority Field At Mile High, 1701 Bryant St., at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 25.

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

The Mile High City plays Van the Man For me, Van Morrison is at the very top of the rock troubadour pile, secondly only to Bob Dylan.

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

Unfortunately, he’s getting up there in years, and hasn’t really toured in a decade or more.

And when he does, it costs an arm and a leg to score a ticket.

Tribute, ceremonies among Memorial Day events Fort Logan, Englewood, Littleton will be sites of solemn rites

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

Memorial Day will be observed with a tribute to fallen veterans at Fisher Auditorium on the Englewood High School campus on May 27 and with ceremonies May 28 in Littleton and Fort Logan National Cemetery to honor their service and the sacrifices of all members of the military, past and present.

The tradition that established the Memorial Day events stated that they were for the “honor of all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guards the gates of freedom worldwide.”

This is the fourth year for the Veterans’ Tribute in Englewood organized

by Kay Howard. Howard headed the project that placed a veterans’ memorial at Englewood High School as well as the tribute. The tribute will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. May 27 in Fisher Auditorium located on the Englewood High School campus, 3800 S. Logan St. The guest speaker at the event is retired Air Force Col. Douglas Hole, who

Also during the event, the Gold Star family of Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Falkel will be presented a traditionally folded flag by members of the Honor Bell team.

Falkel, who lived in Highlands Ranch, was serving as a member of the 3rd Special Forces when he suffered fatal injuries in combat Aug. 8, 2005 in Afghanistan. Gold Star families are families of members of the military services killed in action.

On May 28, the first ceremony of the day starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans’ Circle located in the Littleton Cemetery at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St.

FILE PHOTO

Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Post Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program with the El Jebel Pipe Band will playing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard firing the traditional 21-gun salute.

The ceremonies will include reading of the poem “In Flanders Field” and the poem, “My Plea.” The poem “My Plea” was written by Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. At 11 a.m., Fort Logan National Cemetery will hold the annual Memorial Day observance that is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speaker this year is Command Sgt. Maj. Bill Woods, command sergeant major of the Colorado

National Guard. Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman and Colorado Lt. Gov. Donna Lynn plan to attend and could speak.

A group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker, the honor guard will raise their rifles, fire the 21-gun salute and the bugle will play “Taps,” sending the echo across the rows and rows of gleaming white markers standing in arrow-straight rows.

In case the weather is bad, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan.

After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility that is two blocks east of Federal on Hampden Avenue.

Preparations for the ceremonies at Fort Logan begin May 29 when volunteers, most of them young people from a variety of scouting organizations, place a small American flag adjacent to each of the more than 54,000 headstones at the national cemetery, and the same day, flags will be placed on the graves of veterans buried at Littleton Cemetery.

The first official Memorial Day celebration was held when Civil War Union General John Alexander Logan, who is the individual Fort Logan is named for, was commander of the Union veterans group the Grand Army of the Republic, and issued an order that asked all members to decorate the graves of American veterans on May 30, 1868 to honor those who died serving their country.

After World War I, Decoration Day became an official holiday and later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. In 1971, Congress passed the holiday act that, among other things, made Memorial Day the last Monday in May.

yarn, adobe bricks, a chuckwagon, with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, American Indian drums and more for hands-on contact. There are maps and letters, including one from a military man who doubted he’d ever see his wife again — and was concerned about the 500 goats his aunt was keeping for his son to have eventually.

Photographs tell more of the story, including enlarged portraits of interesting women: the entrepreneurial Teresita Sandoval who moved between Mexicans and Anglos, and helped start that original trading post. Amache Ocinee Prowers, a Cheyenne Indian and Victorian wife of prominent John Prowers, was an innovator and mediator. (And a 2018 addition to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame). Josella Jaramillo Carson “was immersed in two cultures when she married Kit Carson.” Dona Bernardi was a Curandera and midwife for the large area.

And a video offers interviews with longtime residents, about their special interests and family histories.

Most of us learned about the Louisiana Purchase (1803) in school — 828,000 square miles, controlled by the French, at $11.25 million. Manifest Destiny was still driving national policy and President Thomas Jefferson sent the Lewis and Clark expedition out to see what was there. Perhaps Western students learned about the huge acquisition that ended the war with Mexico, but I certainly did not — and it was hugely important to the development of the United States as it is today. That Rio Grande border was surveyed and marked — sometimes with just a pile of stones, and sparked controversies. And the exact location has been in question at some points Four mural-sized enlargements of watercolors back the exhibit, showing nearby scenes and seasons: the Arkansas River (called Rio Nepesta), the Spanish Peaks, the Greenhorn Mountains in spring.

There is a faded 38-star flag from History Colorado’s collection (the El Pueblo Museum is part of History Colorado). One smiles at seeing it — the top two rows of stars march in straight rows, then the lower ones look as though they’d been tossed at random. What was that seamstress thinking? The stripes are precise.

When El Pueblo History Museum in Pueblo planned a new permanent exhibit called “Borderlands,” the staff determined to offer a really special attraction for the opening months.

Through July 4, the museum is displaying the seldom-seen Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War in 1848. It’s on loan from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. With this treaty, Mexico ceded 55 percent of its territory, including parts of present-day Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Utah — more than 525,000 square miles. The Rio Grande River, instead of the Arkansas River, was designated as the border. The price was $15 million and the United States agreed to assume claims of citizens of the area against the government of Mexico. James Polk was president, as he was when that war began in 1846.

Mexicans could choose to become U.S. citizens — although the choice meant women could no longer be landowners, a major adjustment for some.

The process of borrowing such an important document “caused us to grow as a museum,” observed community relations manager Zach Werkowitch. Limited exposure and the proper kind of lighting, humidity control and a special case were necessary — and an organization must apply six months in advance.

Two couriers, with briefcases, were met at DIA, bearing that treasured document. They stayed a couple of days, delivering and installing the first three pages (51 total) from the original.

It is written in English and Spanish — a column of each per page. Werkowitch said they made the paper at the treaty site near Mexico City and made their own inks as well. Ink color varies on the side-by-side hand-written columns we see, as does paper color among the three pages.

It’s a most appropriate temporary addition to the new permanent exhibit, which reflects the rich cultural history of today’s population in the city, sited on the Arkansas River. We suggest that area history buffs make a day trip to view both document and exhibit — before July 4. The drive is about two hours each way, with beautiful views of mountains all the way, with the exception of a run through Colorado Springs. (Or of course, hotels, a nearby lake, campgrounds and more are there for a longer stay.)

Old Pueblo is interesting, sunny, colorful and offers plenty of lunch destinations — or there are parks and riverfront spots for picnickers.

While those historic documents probably won’t interest young children, the El Pueblo History Museum, built at the location of the original trading post (with an adobe replica) is especially organized to cater to kids, with bits of raw wool, colorful spun

“It seems like people aren’t as interested as getting together as a community anymore,” said Jolene Rheault, public relations director with Community Builders. “We want people to be proud of their community and know that everyone can get together to have a good time for something like Memorial Day.” Attendees are invited to bring a picnic or sample some of the wares at one of the largest gathering of food trucks in Highlands Ranch. There will also be a beer and wine garden featuring selections from local breweries and wineries and live acoustic music.

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

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

COURTESY PHOTO event for kids and their parents.”

Those searching for a little more active way to

enjoy the outdoors won’t want to miss the Memorial Day Nerf battle in Englewood. The event is for those

5 years old and older.

Hosted at Cornerstone Park, 5150 S. Windemere St., beginning at 10 a.m. on May

28, the event is a kind of summer kickoff for Battle Zone — a mobile Nerf arena company since 2015.

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

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

“This is a social fun run to celebrate the start of summer, and people can bring kids in a stroller and dogs, and just walk if they want to,” said Lauren Jones, event coordinator with Rocky Mountain Brew Runs.

“We also have fun and silly beer Olympic games that are a lot of fun for people.”

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

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

High school drag races keep things moving Young people will compete for merchandise in event at Bandimere on May 28

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

High school students are encouraged to “push the pedal to the metal” as they push their vehicles to the limits during the competition at the May 28 All American High School Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

Again this year, there will be races for high school drivers, a special alumni classification for drivers 19 to 23 and junior dragster race with 5- to 17-year-olds behind the wheels of vehicles with bodies designed to be half the size and shape of the National Hot Rod Association’s top-fuel dragsters.

The gates open for entries at 8 a.m.

Junior dragster races begin at 9 a.m. and high school drag races begin about 10 a.m.

The cost to enter the races is $35.

Rules require the car be equipped with seat belts and the car must pass a technical inspection where the vehicle is checked to ensure the seat belts are securely fastened to the frame, the brakes are good and there is plenty of tread on the tires.

The individual behind the wheel

The junior dragsters line up in the staging lanes awaiting their turn at the starting line at a recent year’s event. The junior dragsters will be part of the annual high school drag races May 28 at Bandimere Speedway.

FILE PHOTO must have a valid driver’s license. The driver of any vehicle that makes runs down the quarter-mile strip faster than 14 seconds is required to wear a helmet.

The majority of students are from the metro area, but each year, there

are drivers from other portions of the state as well as a handful of entries from neighboring states.

The event always draws a crowd on the track and in the stands. Last year, for example, about 250 drivers representing about 50 different schools took

part in the drag racing competition.

They were joined at the races by about 100 young men and women behind the wheels of junior dragsters.

The annual event is very popular and kids show up to race with all kinds of “wheels,” ranging from a hot rod that they drive in weekly races at the track to the family’s station wagon or sport utility vehicle. So, to make the competition as fair as possible, entries are divided into two classes, one for the cars, trucks and motorcycles the kids drive on the street and a different division for the drivers who will be behind the wheel of vehicles built to compete in drag races.

Also, a handicap system called a dial-in is necessary because the field includes such a wide variety of vehicles.

The dial-in time is set in time trials and the handicap system allows the slower vehicle in the head-to-head drag race to leave the starting line first. But, running faster than the “dial-in time” is called breaking out and could cost a driver the race.

Winning means moving on to the next round. Losing means it’s time to go home. Drivers get merchandise prizes each time they advance. There a multitude of prizes given out during the competition and the elimination races continue until a single driver captures the day’s championships.

Van Maanen snapping for chance to play in NFL

A BIG WIN

D

Heritage pitcher Riley Egloff delivers a fastball against Mountain Range during a Class 5A playoff game at Metro State University’s Regency Field on May 21. Egloff pitched a three-hit shutout, with 10 strikeouts, as the Eagles cruised past the Mustangs, 7-0. STEFAN BRODSKY

Swimmers post strong showings at state STAFF REPORT

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

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

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

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

Junior Brendan Eckerman paced Cherry Creek with a second-place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 46.61 and placed fourth in the 200 IM in 1:52.57.

Eckerman’s finish along, with Ponderosa’s Blake Wilton second place in the 100 butterfly, were the highest individual finishes in 5A for area swimmers.

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

Ponderosa junior Blake Wilton, one of the state’s top swimmers, swims in a 200-yard freestyle preliminary heat at the CHSAA 5A Boys Championships, Friday, May 18, at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. STEFAN BRODSKY 539.45 points while Arapahoe’s Caleb Ives came in sixth.

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

The Arapahoe 200 medley relay

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

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

Caleb Kim was seventh in the 50 freestyle.

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

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

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

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

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

Van Maanen was a four-year fullback at Wyoming and a backup long snapper until an injury forced him to snap full-time on special teams during his 2017 senior season. He caught 14 passes for 170 yards in four years, ran the ball twice for five yards and was the team captain his senior season.

“Fullback is not a glorified position in the NFL,” said Van Mannen. “It’s not used a whole lot. So I knew going in it was going to be a tough task.

But long snapping is something even moving forward that I can bring to the table. I knew it was going to be a long road, but if you love the game, you give everything to try to make the team.

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

Cherry Creek 4x100 relay team wins state track title STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek junior Marcus Miller was a contender most of the final day of the Class 5A state track meet on May 19 at Jeffco Stadium.

Miller was third in the 100 meters and fourth in the 200 meters, but finally got to stand on the top of the

BENTON FROM PAGE 24

Schultz, Sloan honored Wrestler Cohl Schultz of Ponderosa and hurdler Emily Sloan of Rock Canyon were two of the athletes honored on the Xfinity Sports Award show which used online voting, a media panel and advisory committee to make the myriad selections.

Schultz was the chosen for the Most Outstanding Performance for a Male Athlete.

The junior heavyweight won his third straight state wrestling title and completed an undefeated 50-0 season.

Before the high school season started Schulz became the first American Cadet Greco-Roman wrestler to win a world championship since 1997 when he won the gold medal in the tournament in Greece.

awards podium as part of the Bruins’ state champion 4x100 relay team.

Dimitri Stanley, Andrew Wilsonaxpe, Kyle Hanlan and Miller locked down the state title with a time of 42.46 on a rainy, cold final day of the three-day meet.

“We ran pretty well on a cold day,” said Miller. “You have to warm up

longer before the race, but it’s state.

You just have to go out and compete.

Everybody is running in the same weather. The competition was good.”

The Creek boys finished second in the team standings with 71 points.

The Bruins girls team was sixth.

Delaney Smith of Cherry Creek, the defending 300-meter hurdles

champion, was third and she finished fourth in the 100 hurdles.

Littleton senior Brittany Line earned all the team points for the Lions with a fourth-place finish in the 4A shot put with a 38-05.00 effort.

Arapahoe’s Faythe Sheffield was seventh in the 5A shot put competition with a throw of 36-09.50.

Sloan was selected as the girls Athlete of the Year.

The senior, who will continue her track career at Oregon, is the threetime 5A champion in the 100-meter hurdles heading into this season’s state meet.

She won the 2016 state 300 hurdles title and set a Colorado all-time record at the Continental League championships with a 40.77 clocking to break the old mark of 41.18.

Her 40.77 is the second fastest in the country.

3A state tennis tournaments to two days because of stormy weather that was forecast for May 12.

The CHSAA delayed the start of the double elimination 3A, 4A and 5A state baseball tournaments to avoid the rain that was forecast for May 18 and 19.

Each of the first two days of the baseball tournaments were pushed back to May 21 and 22.

The second weekend of the tournaments will now be played May 26 and 27.

The National Weather Service predicted a 50 percent chance of rain for May 18 and a 60 percent chance for May 19. However, the state track meet still was held May 17-19 at Jeffco Stadium.

CHSAA commissioner Jean Roberts-Uhlig told CHSAANow.com that the events on the track and some field events were able to be held despite rain. CHSAA had contingencies for some field events.

Lighting, however, would force delays and interrupt the meet.

CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann pointed out the baseball tournament schedule was altered to ensure all games could be completed on the same day.

“To have one team or two teams play a game on Friday and use up a pitcher and have others not have to use a pitcher until Monday undermines pitch counts and interferes with the competitive integrity of the tournament,” Borgmann told CHSAANow.com.

If fields were not playable on May 21 and 22, games would move to May 25 and 26 with the semifinals and finals set for June 1 and June 2.

Meteorologist needed Seems like the Colorado High School Activities Association should think about hiring a meteorologist at least part-time during the unpredictable spring months.

Education, lifestyle can help prevent strokes STAFF REPORT

Strokes strike more than 7 million adults in the United States each year.

This month, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association encourage Colorado residents to work to end the fifth-leading cause of death in this country.

American Stroke Month is intended to highlight one of the leading causes of serious, long-term disability that is largely preventable and treatable.

Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg. Nearly half of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, according to recent AHA/ ASA Hypertension Guidelines, which redefines high blood pressure as 130/88 mm Hg. Eating healthfully, being active and, for some stroke survivors, following an aspirin regimen can help prevent another stroke, according to a news release from the American Stroke Association.

Education is also key when it comes to treating stroke.

The American Stroke Association’s Together to End Stroke initiative, sponsored nationally by Medtronic, teaches the acronym F.A.S.T. to help people to recognize the most common

stroke warning signs and what to do if one occurs: F — Face Drooping. Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.

A — Arm Weakness. Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S — Speech Difficulty. Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like, “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?

T — Time to call 911. If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get them to the hospital immediately.

Immediate medical care is crucial to access life-saving treatment in many cases.

About 795,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke every year, with about three in four being first-time strokes.

Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every four minutes, someone dies of stroke.

For more information about stroke or American Stroke Month, follow #StrokeMonth on social media or visit StrokeAssociation.org/strokemonth.

Senate Bill 18-146 requires FSEDs to provide individuals with information on cost of treatment, the individual’s

right to reject treatment and ability to ask questions about costs and options. The bill also requires an FSED to post a sign that states, “This is an emergency-medical facility that treats emergency-medical conditions” and indicate whether the facility contains an urgent-care clinic.
