LPS middle-schoolers design, build projects By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com For Littleton Public Schools, science, technology, engineering and
mathematics education isn’t just for kids who want to pursue careers in those fields — it’s about learning to work together and developing handson skills. Four years ago, the district and Littleton Public Schools Foundation embarked on a plan to turn the school’s outdated technology labs
into STEM centers, where the students not only design projects, but build them as well. “Whether or not any of these kids actually go into a STEM field, I don’t really care,” Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “These kids are so well-versed STEM continues on Page 8
Titles can lift spirits, last a lifetime The meaning of a state championship can be found inside the hearts and minds of those involved By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Spring high school sports playoffs have started, and dozens of teams and hundreds of athletes in Colorado are pursuing state titles. But what does winning a championship really mean? At the high school level, MVPs don’t get invited to Disney World. Athletes generally don’t appear on talk shows. There are few national awards. In fact, a title brings little in the way of tangible Titles continues on Page 31

Collaborative program matches homes with kids By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kelly Mayr has five birth children, three adopted children and one foster child. So the month of May, which is National Foster Care month, resonates with her. She’s been a foster parent for about five years and, in that time, some 15 children have passed through her home. “Once you know there’s a need, it’s hard not to foster,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “And there is a need all over.” Mayr fosters through the Collaborative Foster Care Program, a joint effort to help children in the departments of human services of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties. On average, 1,100 children in the three counties are in out-of-home care on any given day, according to the program. Forty percent are teenagers. All have experienced trauma and almost all have special needs, including emotional, behavioral, medical or developmental. The Collaborative Foster Care Program started with Arapahoe and Jefferson counties in 2008 to maximize staff and Foster continues on Page 11

Schomp opens two facilities in Highlands Ranch Longtime family dealership moves from ‘landlocked’ former location in Littleton
IF YOU GO Schomp will host a public open house of Schomp MINI and Honda, off C-470 near the Lucent Boulevard exit, on June 3 and 4 from noon-5 p.m. Guests can tour the facilities and meet members of the executive and marketing teams.
By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Schomp Automotive is redefining the traditional car dealership with two new facilities in Highlands Ranch. “We want to be completely transparent,” said Daniel Buxbaum, marketing content manager. “We want everyone to consistently see what’s going on.” Schomp MINI and Honda, opening May 23 off C-470 near the Lucent Boulevard exit, have one-of-a-kind features, including digital consultation desks. A customer is paired with a Schomp associate and seated at an interactive screen where all insurance and financial transactions are handled. There are no windows or closed doors, so customers avoid negotiations with multiple sales associates, Buxbaum said. “It’s an opportunity to show the community we really do our best to have your best interest in mind,” he said. Schomp celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Three generations of a Denver family have owned and managed the business since it opened in 1941. It started with Roy Weaver, of Englewood, and his son-in-law, Ralph Schomp. The family sold cars out of a small gas station called Arapahoe Motors. In the mid-1980s, they upgraded to a larger space

Photo by Alex DeWind at 5700 South Broadway in Littleton. In 1988, Schomp’s daughter, Lisa, took over the business. She now works closely with her son, Aaron Wallace, in managing the dealership hub in Highlands Ranch. Schomp MINI and Honda sit next to Schomp BMW, which opened in 2008. For the first time in eight years, all three brands will be on the same campus at Plum Valley Lane.
Schomp employees declined comment on the cost of the new facilities, but said the move was needed to maintain brand standards. The location is accessible to clients in the Denver-metro area and clients driving from the mountains, said Buxbaum. And it’s geographically closest to everything in Douglas County. “With how fast Douglas County is growing, especially for families, we wanted to stay
central,” he said. Schomp’s previous location in Littleton on South Broadway was landlocked, said James Kurtenbach, automotive marketing manager. “It’s not the easiest place to get to in traffic,” he said. “Here we have more land to work with, it’s a very populated area in the state and there’s a convenience factor for customers.” The one-stop-shop model has everything from sales to service. Waiting areas are designed after executive airport lounges, Buxbaum said, and equipped with high-speed internet, individual electrical sockets, comfortable seating and refreshments. Schomp MINI, a space larger than 55,000 square feet, has an outdoor deck for events, including a mini-music series featuring local performers. Ceiling-high windows with scenic views bind the indoor showroom. Large windows are also a staple of Honda’s 100,000-square-foot facility. The goal is to incorporate the beauty of Douglas County with views of the High Line Canal, open space and the Rocky Mountains, said Buxbaum. “It makes you appreciate the art of driving,” he said.

South Suburban hosts 35th annual High Line Canal Race
About 700 people participated in South Suburban’s 35th Annual High Line Canal Race, which began and ended at deKoevend Park.
Gloomy weekend weather didn’t stop about 700 people from running the 35th annual High Line Canal Race on May 14. “The cloudy, cool day was perfect for runners,” said Jamie DeBartolomeis, South Suburban Parks and Recreation marketing specialist. The 5K and 10K runs started and finished at South Suburban’s deKoevend Park, off

South University Boulevard near East Arapahoe Road. Andrew Simmons, of Lakewood, finished first in the 5K and Kenneth Foster, of Monument, finished first in the 10K. The City of Centennial sponsored the race and Mayor Cathy Noon was the announcer. Fun fact: 86-year-old Gene Kamrass, of Highlands Ranch, was a spectator in the crowd. He ran in the first High Line Canal Race 35 years ago and coached Junior Olympic teams. — Alex DeWind

Republicans make their case for business GOP hopefuls hold debate in bid to take on Bennet
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The focus was on business as the five Republicans fighting for a shot to unseat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet debated May 12 at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Business is “what we care about most,” said moderator Pete Casillas, publisher and president of the Denver Business Journal. But candidate Darryl Glenn also raised the ballot issue that has overshadowed the race among the other candidates — Robert Blaha, Ryan Frazier, Jack Graham and Jon Keyser, who is battling reports that some of the signatures gathered for the petition to put him on the ballot were forged. A 7News investigation reported at least 10 signatures were forged. “There is no controversy as to why I’m on the ballot,” said Glenn, a retired Air Force officer and El Paso County commissioner. Graham, a former high-risk insurance executive and Colorado State University athletic director, also has had no ballot challenges. Keyser, a lawyer, former state representative and Air Force Reserve officer, told reporters after the debate that progressive advocacy group ProgressNow is targeting him because he can beat Bennet in the primary. Frazier is also facing ballot issues. Frazier, a former Aurora City councilmember, was told by the Secretary of State that he failed to collect enough valid signatures. His appeal will be heard by the Colorado Supreme Court. Blaha, a former banker and business consultant, had also at first been deemed to have insufficient signatures, but a Denver District Court ruling restored enough signatures to put him on the ballot. Casillas asked the candidates the following questions: What would you do to create an environment where small businesses can take risks? All candidates talked about how taxes and regulations affect small businesses. Graham said that a lower corporate tax rate would help businesses, including small businesses. “Our corporate tax rate in America is 35 percent, the state corporate tax rate is 4.1 percent, so we pay a corporate tax rate of 39.1 percent,” he said, saying this is double the corporate rate of many European countries. “Businesses are leaving Colorado, businesses are leaving the United States, not because they’re disloyal Americans but because they can’t compete.” Tax rates, as well as regulatory burdens, keep small businesses from attracting capital investment, Graham said. Blaha is counting on his business experience as a former banker to set him apart. Blaha said that he would go after federal organizations that impose regulations. “The greatest thing a U.S. senator can do for you is to get on the bully pulpit and fight for you,” he said. Keyser, a business attorney, pointed out that many big businesses have found ways around the high corporate tax rate. And many small businesses pay at the individual tax rate, he said, so overall tax reform is needed. What specific federal regulation would you change? Keyser singled out the Dodd-Frank Act passed in 2010 in response to the recession as a regulation he would like to roll back. Meant to keep large banks in check, Keyser said the law makes it hard for small banks to survive because they need to expend employee time to comply with the law. Graham said he has a difficult time pointing to just one regulation, calling it a “systemic issue.” Federal agencies are allowed to write their own rules and regulations, something he said needs to change. Frazier became the first candidate to utter the word “Obamacare” in the debate, saying the Affordable Care Act keeps businesses from growing and hiring full-time employees. Glenn, a former Colorado Springs City councilmember, echoed that point and
REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATES AND MARIJUANA The five Republicans fighting to challenge Michael Bennet for U.S. Senate tackled a question that can be tough for conservatives at the May 12 debate — and even those who say they personally oppose its use appear resigned to the fact that it is legal in Colorado, and want the federal government to get out of the way. Moderator Pete Casillas, president and publisher of Denver Business Journal, brought the issue up from a business angle. “The (marijuana) industry remains unbankable,” Casillas said after telling the candidates that $270 million in recreational pot was sold in just the first quarter of 2016, bringing in $39.7 million in taxes, licenses and fees. “As a U.S. senator from Colorado, I am interested in how you would approach this impasse,” he said. Jack Graham Graham noted that the residents
of the state voted to amend the constitution to allow marijuana, but said that the financial side of the issue had been ignored at the time and marijuana is still federally prohibited. A former insurance executive, he said that cash-only businesses pose a risk and that the federal government is not likely to fix the issue. “We’re going to have to solve that problem ourselves,” he said. Ryan Frazier Frazier strayed from the business angle of the question, becoming the only candidate to mention the war on drugs and to explicitly call for removing marijuana from the Schedule I narcotics list. “We make up 5 percent of the world’s population, yet we have 25 percent of the world’s (prison) inmates,” he said. “We spend $30$40,000 a year to house and feed an inmate, yet we spend $6,000 a
year on kids in the classroom.”
process in which money is broken up into smaller deposits.
He also said he would go to Washington and represent Colorado businesses, including marijuana businesses.
He said he disagrees with marijuana legalization but also called for the federal government to give leeway to states.
Jon Keyser Keyser called for pushing on the federal government to recognize marijuana as an issue for states to decide.
“This is not really a Colorado issue,” he said. “This is a 10th Amendment issue.” Darryl Glenn Like Blaha, Glenn said he personally opposes marijuana legalization but said states should be allowed to set their own course.
“We’ve got to bring it out of the shadows,” he said. He also said that the tax revenue that states, where marijuana is legal, collect from sales are put into federally-insured bank accounts.
“As a city councilmember, I have always voted against this,” he said. “As a county commissioner, I have always voted against this.”
“That’s hypocrisy,” he said. “The business isn’t allowed to do it, but the government is. That doesn’t make sense.”
He called for political leadership to push back against federal supremacy over the states.
Robert Blaha Blaha said that federal guidelines against banking marijuana industry money leads to structuring, a
“You can take out the word ‘marijuana’ and insert the word ‘widget.’”
called out what he says is a “war on coal” waged by the Obama administration. “We’re talking about over 400,000 jobs we’re going to lose,” he said. Elaborate on your thoughts on federal energy policy. Keyser used the question to talk about national security, which the Air Force Reserve officer has made a pillar of his campaign. “Energy security is national security,” he said. He noted that Colorado is one of the largest energy-producing states, and that progressive organizations want to ban hydraulic fracturing and other oil and gasdrilling techniques. Such laws, he said, would not only affect energy workers, but secondary jobs as well. Glenn said his experience as a county commissioner gives him the knowledge of land use laws necessary to deal with drilling issues. Graham became the only candidate to bring up climate change during the debate, saying that in his previous career in the high-risk insurance industry, he studied atmospheric science data to assess hurricane risk. Consensus among scientists is that human-caused climate change is real, Graham said, but he added that the changes are likely to be slow. He also said that it is important to get as much energy from within the United States as possible. Taxes, corporate inversion infrastructure, healthcare All candidates spoke of simplifying the tax code and flattening it into a less progressive system. Frazier said the highest personal income tax bracket should not exceed 28 percent, while the lowest should be at least 10 percent. Glenn said that although they mostly agree, he is the candidate willing to take on Democrats on the issue. Blaha said that tax reform advocates need better marketing to sell the idea to voters before making changes. The candidates also fielded a question on corporate inversions, a term for companies setting up foreign entities to buy their operations and move them abroad, with most answers including lower corporate tax rates. On a question about infrastructure investment, Graham suggested the fuel tax be changed to a mileage-based tax to better fund highway construction, saying the gas tax hasn’t increased in decades despite more fuel-efficient cars. Frazier said that taxes don’t need to be increased to pay for infrastructure, but that more leases for oil and gas exploration on federal land could generate the necessary revenue. On healthcare, all five candidates lamented the Affordable Care Act, saying more consumer choice is necessary to bring down costs.

Lone Tree, RTD, county launch light rail extension $207 million project is scheduled to be completed in 2019 By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The Regional Transportation District, Douglas County and the City of Lone Tree broke ground on the new Southeast Light Rail extension May 10 in Lone Tree. The light rail extension from Lincoln Station to the end of-theline station at RidgeGate Parkway and Havana Street was approved by Colorado voters in 2004 as part
of RTD’s FasTracks Program. When completed, the rails will connect service from Lone Tree to Denver International Airport and as far north as Boulder. Construction is expected to be completed in 2019, and according to RTD, the total estimated cost is $207 million, or about $90 million per mile. Construction was to begin May 16. “I believe that our light rail system here is going to be the core of a future that we are all going to benefit from,” Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said. Gunning praised the project, saying that it was at the center of future transportation in the region.
“This is a transformational project,” Gunning said. “It is going to be the core of the future of mobility. You have to look ahead and see what is coming. This light rail extension is a core piece. And we’re going to have smart cars and other types of transportation that will allow us access to things.” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said the investment in the rail line is an investment in the community. “Research tells us that when we invest $1 in transportation we get back $4,” Partridge said. “The investments into this project are really investments into Douglas County and Lone Tree.” The City of Lone Tree, the
Rampart Range Metropolitan District and Douglas County have each pledged $7.3 million along with the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District, which kicked in $3 million, for a total contribution of around $25 million. The three new stations will be located at Sky Ridge Avenue (near the Sky Ridge Medical Center), the Lone Tree City Center and an endof-line station at RidgeGate Parkway with 1,300 parking spaces. “History tells us that whenever transportation improvements are made, cities and their citizens reap the benefits,” Partridge said. “This project will be another great example of that.”

in working together.” Sixth-graders in Marc Finer’s STEM class at Newton Middle School showed off some of what they built for district officials on May 11. One project is already in use at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Littleton. A group of students built small wooden boxes that double as self-contained games, with participants putting wooden pegs into holes that are color-coded to sides of a die that accompanies the game. HealthSouth registered nurse Katarzyna Wolanska, whose daughter, Natalia, worked on the project, said the games can be used to help physical or occupational therapy patients regain motor skills. “It makes you feel pretty good,” said student Lilli Bills, of building something that can help people. Bills was the foreperson, or leader, of the team that designed and built the games. The STEM classes have caught her interest, and she wants to continue to learn more. “I think it’d be cool to make cars like they do in the eighth grade,” she said, referring to small, carbon-dioxide-powered model cars. The car project, in which students design their cars on computer-aided design software and build them, is a student favorite, Finer said. He’s been assigning the project for 18 years, but the STEM centers take it to another level.
After four years of fundraising and building in three phases, the middle-school STEM centers in Littleton Public Schools will soon be completed. Littleton Public Schools Foundation Executive Director Beth Best presented a check for $250,000 to the district on May 12 to complete the final phase, which will add 3-D printers, laser engravers, computer-controlled machining tools and more to the centers. The total cost of the centers for all four schools is $600,000. “We’re really proud to have finished this project,” Best said.
Newton Middle School technology engineering teacher Marc Finer speaks about the projects his students have worked on throughout the school year. Photo by Kyle Harding Computer simulators allow students to test their designs for drag and other factors that affect speed, and they can race their simulations against classmates, as well as students in the STEM centers at the district’s other middle schools. “The STEM centers have really allowed us to merge the research and design with
the manufacturing,” Finer said. “A simulation is just a simulation on a computer.” When the cars are built, they are raced for real on a 65-foot track. “They’ll reach speeds over 60 mph,” Finer said. Other areas STEM students learn about are robotics, programming and
metalworking. A project the students work on by themselves is a clipboard milled out of a piece of sheet metal, which student Mary PfeifferDeVito enjoyed. “I really want to do (STEM) next year,” she said. “I think it’d be fun to continue working with metal.” Clay Abla, the district’s director of secondary education, echoed Ewert’s point that STEM education helps all students. “Our board of education wants this type of experience for every single kid,” he said. Finer agreed. “No matter what you do,” he said, “the collaboration is huge.”

Maybe it’s not just another day after all So here is how a recent conversation went with a friend of mine I run into in the coffee shop in the morning sometimes, “Hey buddy, good to see you again. Where are you going today?” The answer, “Just another day of heading into the office, how about you?” My response, “I am on my way to the airport, just another day in the travel trenches.” After we each took off in our own direction I found myself thinking about his response to my question and became more troubled over my response back to him. Was he really just headed into the office for one more day of grinding it out at work? And was I only just headed to the airport? I know for me it wasn’t just another travel day, it was a part of my plan, my bigger plan and pursuit of my goals. I mean I wasn’t just getting on any flight going anywhere, I had a very specific flight, a meeting with an important customer and a new presentation to give to a very viable prospect. There was clear meaning and intent to where I was going and what I was doing as they related to my personal and professional growth goals. My friend who was headed into the office, was he just headed into the office, or was that also a part of his career goals and plans that would help fulfill his personal growth goals and financial goals? When I meet with other people I know on a Sat-
urday or Sunday and they share their plans for attending church or their chosen house of worship, are they just going to church, or is it part of their bigger spiritual goals and life plan? Do they just plan on “attending” the service and being seen in in the Michael Norton building or are they WINNING there to grow deeper in their faith and WORDS relationship with God and with the congregation? There is an old saying that goes like this, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.” So where are we going? Are we on the path we have chosen and that will lead us to where we really want to be in life, or are we adrift on the crossroads of life allowing the winds and whims of outside influences to pull us off course? Some of us have gotten into a routine of going to the gym, a very consistent routine. Some may be going because it is a great place to connect with friends, get out of the house, and have some personal time. Others go to the gym with very clear focus and
intent as they are committed to their physical fitness goals and health and wellness. We rarely ever see people just wander into and around a gym, but we do see people wander around in life. And remember, “If we don’t know where we are going, any road will take you there.” Goal setting works; there are proven statistics that compare the success of people who set goals and those who do not. The outcomes are very clear that income is higher, personal happiness is greater, relationships are stronger, and a sense of achievement and fulfillment runs deeper when we take the time to set our goals properly. How about you? Where are you going? Where are you headed? Are you on the road to anywhere or are you on the path that will lead you to be who you want to be, take you to what you want to do, and help you earn what you want to have in this life? If you have a great success story or want to learn more about how to properly set goals, I would love to hear from you at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we know where we are going, it really will be a better than good week.

Sometimes good things come along A college friend of mine was visiting his wife in the hospital. He was actually visiting her around the clock. She had undergone an all-day operation that was Craig Marshall Smith performed by QUIET a tag team of DESPERATION surgeons. Naturally, “Jack” was very concerned about her. His apprehensions, fears and doubts were competing with his lifelong optimistic beliefs. He decided to stretch his legs. Something unusual was going on in the hall. A lot of people were gathered. He noticed that all of them were smiling, and directing their attention to a young man who was wearing a hospital gown. The young man was walking up and down the hallway, and everyone was giving him encouragement. Some were high-fiving him and patting him on the back. Jack said, “He was pushing a small suitcase-sized box with a handle in front of him. It was hooked up to him with some wires.” I started to put two and two together. Maybe I’m wrong, but someone or something was sending my friend — and others in the hospital — some good news. Jack asked what was going on This is what he was told. “That’s Victor. He’s walking to his operation. He’s going to get a new heart.” Jack said, “I still get choked up as I write this, remembering the feeling it gave me at the time. I don’t think I have ever experienced anything quite like this

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Disappointed in lack of political leadership I was disappointed to learn that politics trumped doing something good for the state when the bill to make the hospital provider fee an enterprise was killed this week on a 3-2 vote along party lines. The change the bill was supporting seemed to offer tremendous benefits to the state, mainly in the form of future funding for transportation infrastructure and education — and it didn’t involve any taxes. Seemed like a common-sense bill to support. But common sense has no say when it comes to political fighting. Maybe if we had real and altruistic leaders in this state, perhaps we could make progress to protect
Colorado long term. Why does it seem so hard for elected officials to step up and look at opportunities to help make Colorado a great state without getting tangled in politics and never pushing ahead? The influx of new residents has been taking a toll on transportation, increased traffic and adding more students to our schools. Do any of our elected officials look at these bills with a long-term lens? An opportunity to do what was right for the citizens was killed because of politics. Elected officials need to be reminded of who they are serving and why they are serving, and sometimes a leader has to stand alone, to allow people to follow. Bernard Slack Littleton

reach a broader range of potential foster families, said Ruby Richards, the Douglas County child welfare administrator. “By joining the collaborative, we had a team of people that did the recruiting, training and monthly contact with all of our foster homes,” she said. Today, “we have a staff of about 15 to 20 that manage everything.” A ‘vulnerable time’ in children’s lives In 2012, Douglas County joined the program so that it could expand its foster resources. As of May, Douglas County had 112 children who had been placed into foster homes. The Parker zip codes of 80134 and 80138, along with 80130 in Highlands Ranch and 80104 in Castle Rock, had the highest number of children removed from their homes, according to program statistics. Department of Human Services will remove a child from his or her home because of neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or medical neglect. “Everything that they are familiar with has been ripped away in this incredibly vulnerable time of their life,” said Kala Slater, recruiter for the Collaborative Foster Care Program.

in a temporary out-of-care home. The birth family works through a treatment plan with the ultimate goal of reunification, Slater said. “When foster families come to us, we want to get a better understanding of what they are willing to go through to reunify,” she said. “Eighty to 90 percent of the time, kids are reunified with their (birth) families.” Mayr fostered one of her daughters before adopting her. In her case, reunification wasn’t possible, she said. Her daughter’s birth parents couldn’t provide a permanent home. Mayr saw no other choice but to adopt. “You do fall in love,” she said.
that they want to take,” Slater said. Because the foster family’s role is to provide a temporary home, there needs to be support of reunification and the willingness to work closely with the child’s birth family, Slater said. This often means planning visits more than once a week.
The foster family’s role Fostering isn’t for everyone. Foster parents must be able to “shut the bedroom door,” Mayr said, because the child will come with baggage — literal and emotional. Through her experiences, Mayr has learned to be less judgmental. “Meeting people whose lives are a lot harder is eye-opening,” she said. “It’s helped me learn to work with a lot of different personalities.” The foster family certification process takes about four to five months. Applicants must attend an information night followed by pre-application work, preservice training, an application, first aid and CPR certification, a home study and final approval. “It takes a long time for people to commit and find out if this is the right path
Other ways to help On average, a child is placed with a foster family for six months. If a family isn’t ready to foster, there are other ways to help. Community members can support by listening, providing meals or helping out at the foster home during busy periods, such as after school. “There are a million ways that people can support fostering without being a foster parent,” Richards said. Mayr’s friends provided meals, extra clothes and helped paint a bedroom. It’s like having a newborn, Mayr said. She also encourages those who want to help to become respite caregivers, or certified babysitters for foster children, which provides time off for foster parents to rest and recharge. And developing relationships with other foster parents is crucial, Mayr said: It helps to have a village when navigating the foster care world. Above all, fostering provides stability during a vulnerable time in a child’s life. Mayr’s had her fair share of tears when a child comes and goes, but that is part of the process. “Even if it hurts, you need to get attached,” Mayr said. “They need you to get attached.”
The fact that I hadn’t seen him in 46 years made it even more meaningful. Admittedly, it was no Victor in the hallway, but it worked. Life is bittersweet. I went to an open casket funeral for a good friend, and I couldn’t stick around because there was too much preaching going on. On the way to the freeway, I passed a couple of teenagers eating chocolate doughnuts. It didn’t make any sense. They looked far too happy. Incongruities occur all the time.
And life goes on, no matter what. W. H. Auden said, “Stop all the clocks, prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.” But that never happens. We sometimes abide very privately, and no one sees us sleeping in a chair, in a hospital room. I imagine that my friend looked out the window now and then, and that he could see people coming and going. And that he wanted to be one of them, going home with his wife. He did go home with his wife, and she is recovering.

Fitness trackers prove helpful with accountability By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
C
astle Rock resident Amber Lindstrom rarely takes her Fitbit HR Charge off her wrist: After all, it not only helps her track her daily steps, it also monitors her calorie burn, heart rate and sleep patterns. “I’m 100 percent more aware of my health,” she said. The 36-year-old travel agent stepped into the Fitbit world two years ago when she bought the Fitbit Flex as a motivation to be more active. “I felt that if I could get my daily steps in, I would be on my way to being more active,” Lindstrom said. And that has happened — the fitness tracker helps push her a little further each day. The idea of tracking steps or walking to achieve better health is nothing new. But the capabilities of wearable fitness trackers are constantly innovating to provide users with a more complete understanding of their personal health. Fitbit, the leading fitness tracker, came on the market in 2007 with a ramped-up version of the traditional pedometer. In 2011, Jawbone, a leading computer technology company, released UP, its version of the wearable technology. Since then, technology and fitness companies like Garmin, Under Armour and Microsoft have jumped on board creating their own products. Depending on the product you choose, users can track swimming, know how many minutes they were restless during sleep, and know when they’ve hit their target heart rate. For most users, though, it starts with a step. “Before, I always thought I put in a lot of
steps, but you don’t realize it until you track it,” Lindstrom said. “Some days I thought I walked a lot, but then I saw that I was only at 5,000 or 6,000.” The daily step goal on the Fitbit and most fitness trackers is 10,000 steps a day — the equivalent of about five miles. Many health experts cite the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day, including lower blood pressure levels and better cardiovascular fitness. It has also been reported that 10,000 steps a day helps lower blood glucose levels and cuts the risk of developing diabetes. Oral Roberts University, a Christian university in Tulsa, Oklahoma, believes so much in the health benefits of walking that it recently announced a requirement for all incoming freshmen to wear fitness trackers. The fitness data of all first-year students will be tracked by the school — and will contribute to their grades, said Oral Roberts University Provost Kathaleen Reid-Martinez in a press release. The fitness requirement at the university isn’t new, but embracing the wearable technology will replace handwritten logs and add accountability for students. Accountability is something boot camp instructor Josh Stanton said is important and he expects it from his clients. When a client doesn’t show up for a workout, Stanton, owner of Generation Fitness in Parker and Castle Rock, calls or texts him or her. Fitness trackers also are one way people can hold themselves accountable, he said. “I think it’s an awesome accountability step for people to get into.” For Lindstrom, her Fitbit both keeps her accountable and encourages her. Since she links hers to the iPhone app, Lindstrom gets messages throughout the day notifying her that she is “2,000 steps away from her goal” and to “keep it up.” Or to tell her that she needs to “get moving!” “It keeps motivating me and cheers me on throughout the day,” Lindstrom said. She also likes the competitions feature. Fitbit allows users to compete against other users in weekly challenges like the Workweek Hustle and the Weekend Warrior. “I’m a very competitive person when it comes to doing the challenges,” Lindstrom said. “I strive for more than my usual — 15,000 to 20,000 (steps) a day. I think it really pushes you to a new level.”

Arts center unveils upcoming season
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center, at 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, invited subscribers and friends in for a sampling of the new season recently: six musicals in a variety of flavors, from classic to a regional theater premiere. Performers sang bits from the new works — some new to the audience. Directors Nick Sugar and Robert Wells will be returning to work their respective kinds of magic on Town Hall’s small, but versatile stage. Sugar said, “From princesses to BB guns, to puppets with an attitude, a piece of our history to a bridegroom mystery, Town Hall just can’t stop the beat!” • Starting Sept. 9 to Oct. 8 will be the comical “Once Upon a Mattress,” by Mary Rodgers, Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, Marshall Barer, directed by Robert Wells. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic “Princess and the Pea,” it’s fun with fairy tales. • The regional premiere of “A Christmas Story, the Musical,” Nov. 11 to Dec. 30, adds a score to the beloved film story of Ralphie and his quest for an Official Red Ryder carbine-action air rifle. Book by Joseph Robinette, music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Nick Sugar will direct this
new sugarplum. • “Avenue Q” by Jeff Marx, Robert Lopez, Jeff Whitty, won three Tony awards and features somewhat potty-mouthed puppets who offer constant laughs as they try to find a place in the infinite scheme of things. Robert Wells directs. Plays Jan. 13 to Feb. 4, 2017. • From Feb. 17 to March 19, audiences will enjoy “Bonnie and Clyde,” with music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black, book by Ivan Menchell, about a colorful pair on the run from the law. The score combines blues, gospel and rockabilly music. Directed by Nick Sugar. • “The Robber Bridegroom,” with book and lyrics by Alfred Uhry, music by Robert Waldman, based on a novel by Eudora Welty, will play March 31 to April 30. Set in 18thcentury Mississippi, it follows robber Jamie Lockhart in his pursuit of rich planter’s daughter Rosamund. Country romp. Robert Wells will direct. • “Hairspray,” the musical based on the John Waters film, takes audiences to 1960s Baltimore and adventures of plus-sized teen heroine Tracy Turnblad, playing May 19 to June 18. Directed by Nick Sugar. For season tickets, see townhallartscenter.org or call 303-794-2787, ext. 5. (Single tickets will go on sale July 20.)

Memorable
My class has so many different characters with such a wide range — that makes everyone of them unique and memorable in one way or another. Chessa Kerr, Lutheran High School I have greatly enjoyed my time at Lutheran with this amazing class that I have been blessed to be a part of — there was never a dull moment with this group. Matthew Hanson, Lutheran High School
Constancy
I like this word because it means being faithful and dependable. We are a class that hasn’t changed much over the past four years and we have always been dedicated to what we do. We show up day in and day out and that’s something people can count on with us. We show endurance and that is my favorite thing about my class. Morgan Barone, Lutheran High School
Leadership
Over the past four years, the class of 2016 has produced many leaders in sports, academics, music, theater and service. We have a large number of students graduating this year who have been instrumental in leaving an impact in each of those areas. Some have been vocal leaders while some have led and made a difference through their actions. From leading in the classroom to outside of school, this class will be greatly missed for its leadership — and big shoes will need to be filled next year. Beth Vanderhyde, Lutheran High School
Leadership
You won’t find another high school as tightly knit and more supportive of one another in and out of school as that at Ponderosa. It’s what simply makes small schools unique because students are willing to make bonds with new individuals and take pleasure doing it! Grant Zimmerman, Ponderosa High School

WHAT WORD BEST DESCRIBES YOUR CLASS? Accepting New Patients!
Ambitious
As a whole, my class has always striven to be the best that we can be in all aspects of life, both inside and outside the school. Whether visible through the highly competitive academic atmosphere among our class members, the record-setting achievements that we have led our school to accomplish, or the countless hours we have given back to the community, it is clear that my graduating class sets our sights high and will not settle for anything less. Molly Corlett, Chaparral High School

Although this word may get thrown around a lot, the value of the word has not lost its significance. We have truly grown since our freshman year — we’ve come together as one in tough times. We watch out for one another and we care for one another no matter what happens. Specifically, after the suicides and gun/bomb threats our junior year, we came together and that’s when we really started to watch out for each other and become a much closer class. We have survived the high school experience together, and we have all changed into such incredible and motivated adults who are the future of our society. Ryan Simpson, Douglas County High School
Unique I feel Douglas County High School is an overall positively different/unique place to get your high school education. Physically, we have a very large school that has to be separated into two buildings, as well as massive stadium on our property. DCHS is an International Baccalaureate school, which allows its students to be given an internationally recognized education that can always be applicable to the real world. Finally, so many parts of Castle Rock feed into our school, creating a large amount of diversity throughout students and staff. I know I speak for myself, as well as others, when I say we have friends from around the globe. Dylan Gessner, Douglas County High School

Different
A lot of kids don’t talk really in our class of 2016. Everyone has their own little group they hang with. But when we come together, like in Showdown, everyone gets along! Mark Dowsey, Castle View High School
Diligent adventurers We all are just a bunch of little kids, in teenage bodies, who are very smart and know how to solve advanced mathematical problems. When it comes to education, we all aspire to be well known about our subjects. But other than academics, we are all very adventurous and curious. Caleigh Gearheart, Castle View High School
Passionate We all truly love what we do — and becoming better at it. We have kids who love sports, kids who love academics, and kids who love theater. But despite the differences in what we enjoy, we all have a desire to continue it and become better at it . . . It brightens my day to see the student that doesn’t talk a lot in class become so excited to talk about something that they love. Kelly Grier, Chaparral High School

Nothing like glue to keep a team together

Heritage fails to come up with big hits Eagles’ season comes to end as Cherokee Trail wins 2-1 to take District 3 tournament By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage’s baseball team had myriad opportunities to score against Cherokee Trail.
So did ThunderRidge in its District 6 championship game. Heritage didn’t take advantage of the chances and saw its season come to an end. ThunderRidge finally did capitalize and advanced to the double-elimination portion of the Class 5A state baseball tournament starting May 20-21. The Eagles had a base runner in every inning but one and had the tying run on
second base with one out in the bottom of the seventh. The final two batters struck out and Cherokee Trail earned a 2-1 victory in the title game of the District 3 tournament played May 14 at Heritage. “When somebody has to lose a game like that, it’s tough,” said Eagles coach Scott Hormann. “When you have a good pitcher throwing against you, it’s hard.

Fairview snaps Creek’s 19-year streak Mountain Vista, Ponderosa serve up title wins also By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There was a breaking news story May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center: Cherry Creek did not win the Class 5A State Tennis Tournament. It was close, but Fairview won a decisive No. 3 singles championship match that featured two freshmen. Sophie Pearson of the Knights defeated the Bruins’ Sayuri Garud, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Fairview earned three points for that victory and the Knights finished with 69 points to 66 for runner-up Creek. Creek had captured 19 straight state titles and 20 of the past 21 before this season. The Bruins have won 33 girls state titles, so it’s newsworthy when some other team is crowned the state champion. “That’s just kind of how it is,” said Cherry Creek coach Chris Jacob. “I hope Fairview gets a chance to celebrate. It’s a big deal what they accomplished. I hope the focus will be on their win instead of our loss.” The Bruins did win the 2016 sportsmanship trophy voted on by coaches, players and tennis officials, in addition to their runners-up hardware. “I’m super proud and really happy with the way the girls played,” added Jacob. “They really deserved the sportsmanship award because they carried themselves in a really lovely way. We could not have asked for more. They always competed.” Cherry Creek played without two state champions from last season. One decided not to play this spring and the

Creek sophomore Micha Handler completed an undefeated season by winning the No. 2 singles title with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Poudre’s Alessia Fabiano. “I thought I played really well,” said Handler. “She was a real good competitor. “We had some really good points and it was a really fun match. I’m happy that I won. It was a tough match. The score really didn’t show that.” Cherry Creek’s Allison Murphy and Emily Wilkens won the No. 2 doubles championship. Garud was second. Gloria Son, a two-time state champion at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, was third at No. 1 singles. Phoebe MacKenzie and Hanna Fernley of Cherry Creek earned valuable
points with a third-place finish at No. 1 doubles. Mountain Vista, led by the third-place finisher Madi Allen at No. 3 singles and the runner-up No. 4 doubles team of Hunter Ernest and Hannah Smith, was third in team standings. “It’s the highest we’ve ever finished on the girls side,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan. “They really wanted to finish higher and beat the boys this year. The boys finished third like three years ago. They were excited that they at least tied the boys’ finish. We’ve improved every year. The first year we took 11th, last year we took fourth, and this year third.” This year’s state tournament was Tennis continues on Page 26
Glue is an adhesive used to stick things together. It’s also often difficult to remove from your hands. So it is only fitting to declare that senior Alyssa Kaiser was the glue that held Ralston Valley’s girls soccer team together. Injuries sidelined as many as eight starters during the season but Kaiser, the Jefferson County League Player of the Year, was a leader who helped the team focus and play well. “She’s the one senior that didn’t get hurt and she’s the one player that continued to do her role as a center midfielder in passing the ball, even though her top targets weren’t there Jim Benton anymore because they OVERTIME were sitting down,” said Ralston Valley coach Kamee Morwood. “She continued to be a leader on the field and off the field and to encourage her teammates. “She came in as a freshman and really helped changed Ralston Valley soccer. Her points are divided between assists and goals and that is not the norm.” Kaiser, who signed to play soccer at the University of Tulsa, finished the season with 56 points on 19 goals and 18 assists and helped the Mustangs to a 10-5-1 record after a first-round playoff loss to Rock Canyon. “It was really difficult,” admitted Kaiser. “I had to work a lot harder and I had to trust other teammates that I hadn’t played with all the time. It was really difficult for us, but we powered through it and made it to the playoffs. I love distributing the ball to people and making them look good.” Tradition looming this season in baseball The diamond, I’ve noticed, has become a bit more smart-looking this season. More baseball teams and several individual players are wearing their baseball uniforms the way they were designed to be worn with stirrups showing. It’s the old-school way. The traditional way. In the 1990s, most professionals started wearing their pants down to their cleats without the stirrups (uniform socks) showing. Glad to see some young players are not following the trend. 5A lacrosse pairings on the mark Whenever pairings are announced to state playoff competition there is always some head-scratching from coaches, players and parents. This season, the boys Class 5A lacrosse pairings were right on the mark as the four top seeds advanced into semifinals, which were held May 18. No. 4 Cherry Creek played top-seeded Regis Jesuit and No. 2 Mountain Vista challenged No. 3 Arapahoe. Names, potential are similar The state track meet for all classifications will be held May 19-21 at Jefferson County Stadium and two freshman girls with similar names could be heard from — if not this weekend — then in the future. Arapahoe’s Anna Hall, whose older sister Julia also is a standout, won the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and the high jump during the May 12-14 Centennial League meet. Anna Hart of ThunderRidge was the Continental League champion in the 400 meters and triple jump to help the Grizzlies win the team title. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Rock Canyon girls have eye on golf tourney Jaguars will be team to watch at championships in Aurora By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Rock Canyon sophomore Brandy McClain won medalist honors at the Class 5A Western Regionals with a par 71 at the Tiara Rado Golf Course in Grand Junction on May 10.

Rock Canyon has come close the past two springs, and the Jaguars’ girls golf team will again be a contender during the Class 5A state championships. The state tournament will be held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Club in Aurora. Rock Canyon, which won the 2009 Class 4A state championship, has been the 5A runner-up the past two years. The Jaguars won the 5A Western Regional in Grand Junction on May 10 to qualify its four-girl team for the state tournament. At the state tourney, the top two teams from each of four regional qualifying events will have four-girl teams, but only the scores of the top three golfers each day are included in the team standings. Schools that have at least three individual qualifiers can also compete for the team title. “What it takes at state is three solid golfers,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “For most teams it is usually the top three girls that make or break you. They have to play well. The team that has that solid fourth player has a distinct advantage. You need that fallback player.” Juniors Amelia Lee and Alexis Chan have been consistent contenders in tournaments all season for Rock Canyon. Lee was second in the Western Regional at Tiara Rado Golf Course
with a 2-over-par 73 and Chan tied for fourth with a 76. Rock Canyon sophomore Brandy McClain, who aims to shoot in the low 80s, took medalist honors with a par 71, which was six shots better than her previous low score. “Brandy has the potential,” explained Vahling. “We knew Brandy had it in her. She has all the tools. It wasn’t like it was a complete surprise. It was a very pleasant one.” McClain played smart golf in Grand Junction. “I played the best I’ve ever played,” she said. “I’ve never done that well. Ron (assistant coach Ron Saul) told me to play smart so we planned every hole and to lay up to my 75-yard shot. I practice that shot a lot. “And I was hitting my irons better than I usually do. I had a lot more birdie opportunities than I actually made, but I didn’t have a three-putt.” McClain, Lee and Chan, along with the Jaguars’ fourth golfer, Naura Tagiya, will be a factor in what is expected to be a competitive race for the state team title. “Our number four golfer has the potential to do it,” said Vahling. “She just hasn’t played as much competitive golf as the other three. Her scores keep coming down and she might surprise somebody.” Defending state champion Regis Jesuit and Grandview, which finished second in the Southern Regional, loom as the teams to beat. “We’ve got a good chance,” added Vahling. “Regis is going to be there. Monarch is always tough. We beat Arvada West in Grand Junction but I wouldn’t put it past them to challenge. Heritage has three girls that are right

more competitive than in past seasons. “It good for different teams to win state championships,” added Flanigan. “It’s not like a Creek sweep at every position. It’s nice for other schools — you see that Ponderosa won one and Fossil Ridge won one. You have different schools winning state championships and that’s just good for tennis.” Ponderosa’s No. 1 doubles team of Sydney Waite and Hunter Barker defeated Natalie Sloboth and Elizabeth Palmer of Arapahoe, 6-4, 6-3, to win the school’s first individual state title in nine seasons and first all-time in doubles. Ponderosa’s Erin Sanders was the 2007 state champion at No. 1 singles. “We played really well,” said Waite. “We worked the points. We stayed focused the whole match.”

feel horrible for our seniors but they put us back on the map.” Cherokee Trail junior Connor Nantkes limited the Eagles to only four hits. Heritage, which beat Doherty 11-1 in the first game of the tournament, wasted a 5-hit, 11-strikeout performance by sophomore right-hander Riley Egloff. Heritage ended the season with a 14-7 record. ThunderRidge shutout Chatfield 7-0 to advance to the May 14 District 6 finals but trailed Fort Collins 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Grizzlies scored twice with the tying run coming home on a wild pitch to send the game into extra innings. The Grizzlies finally escaped with a 4-3 win in the bottom of the 11th on Brody Perkins’ run-batted-in single. Perkins’ hit came after ThunderRidge left seven runners on base in the four innings before he delivered the winning hit. The Grizzlies had the potential winning run thrown out at home plate in the eighth. “We had unlimited chances,” said Perkins. “I knew the hit was going to get
through. That was the last one. We needed to end it right there.” ThunderRidge (15-6) will play Cherry Creek (15-7) on May 20 at 12:30 p.m. at Machebeuf High School. Cherry Creek, a perennial state contender, struggled during the regular season and according to coach Marc Johnson were beating themselves with errors and walks while finishing fourth in the Centennial League. However, the Bruins looked sharp in the District 5 tournament with an 11-0 victory over Grand Junction and a surprising 11-0 shutout over top-seeded Regis Jesuit. In other district playoff action, Bear Creek defeated defending 5A state champion Rock Canyon, 4-3, in the opening game of the District 4 tourney. Legend lost to Ralston Valley, 13-9, on a grand slam home run in the bottom of the seventh in the District 7 finals. In a Class 4A Valor Christian advanced with a 7-6, eight-inning win over Northridge in the District 4 championship game. Blake Donels doubled home the winning run for the Eagles. Valor, which beat Ponderosa 3-1 in the opening district game, will face Windsor in a 12:30 p.m. game at Lakewood’s AllStar Park to open the 4A double elimination portion of the state tournament.
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 16, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A once-harmonious relationship appears to be hitting some sour notes. Spend some time together to see why things have gone off-key. What you learn might surprise you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel a need to make some changes. Good -- you can do it on a small scale (some new clothes, for example), or go big and redecorate your home and/or office. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Control your tendency toward early boredom. A situation in your life might be taking a long time to develop, but patience pays off. Stay with it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel that you’re on an emotional roller coaster this week. Don’t fret; just ride it out and let things settle down. A Pisces shows understanding. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Do something different for once -- compromise. A stubborn stand on an important issue proves counterproductive. You need to be open to new ideas. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend offers advice that you perceive as an act of betrayal. But before you turn against the messenger, pay attention to the message.

Custom Collection at The Club at Ravenna As the luxury end of the market comes to life, tour three genuine custom homes in Ravenna
By Mark Samuelson As agents all over the area report the luxury home market coming to life, there’s no better proof than you’ll find inside the scenic expanse at The Club at Ravenna -- 35 minutes from downtown Denver, but with the protected setting you’d want on a home that’s going to cost $1.5 million or $2.5 million. Ravenna will let you behind the gates this weekend to tour three genuine customs, sized 5,600 to 6,700 square feet, with the kind of lush appointments that match Ravenna’s views.
If you like what you see, you can pick one of those three and skip the year that it takes to build a custom home of this quality – or you can get some ideas and pick from Ravenna’s assortment of custom sites – some on the course, some backing to the national forest, all of them wrapped in scenery that could be a hundred miles west of Denver.
You can also see floor plans, renderings and homesite locations where Ravenna’s participating builders are getting set to launch a few pre-designed custom and semi-custom homes from $1.7 million – “We’re always hearing from homebuyers, saving some time and maybe some dollars, even Denver natives, who tell us, ‘I had as well. no idea a community this remarkable was anywhere nearby,’” says Operations Man- The three that are open today are rife with ager and Listing Broker Dale Schossow of the possibilities: including in an expanLIV Sotheby’s International Realty, exclu- sive Tuscan ranch designed by renowned sive agent for Ravenna.
