Meet your candidates for city council Nine people running, Districts 1 and 3 are unopposed
LPS school board election canceled for lack of candidates
STAFF REPORT
The Nov. 7 election will see seats open in all four districts for Centennial City Council, with competition in districts 2 and 4 and no opposition in districts 1 and 3. The Centennial Citizen will bring you in-depth Q&As with each candidate in the coming weeks. Two current councilmembers, Stephanie Piko and Charles “CJ” Whelan, are the only two candidates for mayor. Piko is the current mayor pro tem. Here’s some basic information about your candidates for city council. District 1 Kathy Turley Turley, a 40-year resident of what is now Centennial, has been a city councilmember for District 1 since 2014.

vices, and car washes. In 2005, Centennial adopted ordinances restricting those land uses, essentially covering East Arapahoe Road between the South Parker Road and South Yosemite Street intersections. In November, city council lifted those restrictions, and Hunter-Maurer and another petitioner opposed that move. Nancy Nickless Nickless has held several positions at universities and colleges in the metro area. She is currently a human resources coordinator and grant accountant at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, according to her LinkedIn page. She also oversaw distribution of veterans’ benefits to student veterans at Arapahoe Community College.

Hearing for alleged shooter reveals DNA, video evidence Nicholas Locascio is accused of killing worker at Centennial business BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At a preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing employee Justin Doe at a Centennial business, prosecutors laid out evidence pointing to Nicholas Locascio — possibly high on methamphetamine and later caught at a 24 Hour Fitness — although the motive remained unclear. Security-camera footage shows Locascio, 29, in the parking lot at Quality Electric Distribution at 7000 S. Jordan Road at the time of
the March shooting and fleeing on foot after it, according to an investigator’s testimony. Locascio’s DNA was identified on a cigarette butt found underneath the body of 32-year-old Doe, which lay in that parking lot next to a splattering of blood on a brick wall. He was shot once in the head. Locascio The preliminary hearing to determine whether Locascio would be brought to trial for firstdegree murder and possession of a controlled substance did not yet conclude despite running for nearly seven hours on Sept. 7 at the Arapahoe County District Court. In a preliminary hearing, a judge decides whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial —
it doesn’t decide whether a suspect is guilty. Doe’s manager at QED didn’t hear what happened outside between Locascio and Doe the morning of March 22, but when he heard a gunshot, he came out the back door and saw Doe lying on the ground, he told the court. The manager, Nathan VanDusseldorp, said Doe went out a door on the side of the building, possibly to get something from his car. He opened his car door and appeared to lean into the vehicle a few minutes after 10:30 a.m. Doe stepped back in briefly and asked if they had a customer, and the manager said there were none there. VanDusseldorp said he then opened the door for a few seconds and saw a man facing Doe, less than a carlength apart.
“I just remember him looking kind of like a drugged-out guy,” VanDusseldorp said. “He did not look good.” Doe said something like, “Don’t worry about it; go inside” and was nonchalant, VanDusseldorp said. The manager went back inside, and then he heard the gunshot, he said. VanDusseldorp said no one could hear what may have transpired between Locascio and Doe because the building walls are brick. Deputy Brett Robson with the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office said he believed Doe to be deceased when he arrived on scene after the shooting, which happened about 10:45 a.m. He had “severe head trauma, lot of blood loss ...,” Robson said.

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet. Make a difference in keeping our waterways clean by practicing cost-effective ways to dispose of materials properly. Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message.

ozens of excited dogs dove, ran and splashed at the end-of-season Yappy Hour event at Holly Pool in Centennial on Sept. 9. “I’ve come here every year for the last five or six years,” said Amy Ordonio, a 45-year-old Centennial resident. “I even took the night off — I’m a nurse — to be here.” Formerly called Puppy Paddle, the event lets dogs take over the pool while owners relax, throw tennis balls to their canines and enjoy beer served at the concessions window. Kids enjoyed activities, non-alcoholic beverages and light snacks. South Suburban Parks and Recreation put on the event. PHOTOS BY ELLIS ARNOLD

Thousands climb in remembrance of 9/11 The Colorado 9/11 stair climb drew 2,000 BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The registration table was scattered with badges, each one with the face of someone who lost their life on Sept. 11, 2001. As the American flag flapped in the wind, attached to two fire truck ladders, more than 2,000 firefighters, paramedics and civilians readied to climb 110 flights of stairs at Red Rocks Amphitheater — a memorial to the 110 stories climbed by firefighters 16 years ago at the World Trade Center. “We all remember 9/11 — where you were at, what you were doing, how you felt,” said Laurelyn Norberry, 32, a volunteer firefighter with Evergreen Fire and Rescue. “So this is our chance to remember, pay respects and do something to
honor those who have fallen.” The ninth annual Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb drew climbers from 60 fire departments and 16 states. The Stair Climb benefits the FDNY Counseling Services Unit and the programs provided by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support the families of our nation’s fallen. As tribute, many firefighters climbed in full bunker gear. “It’s just the culture,” said Lt. Brenden Finnegan with West Metro Fire. “It shows respect to the firefighters who work in NYC and lost their lives that day.” Finnegan has been participating in the event since it began. “It’s a great experience to come and be with all your friends and family crew members and remember 9/11,” he said. “Some of us lost friends in the towers — both firefighters and civilians. It’s just a good experience to be part of.”
Members of West Metro and South Metro Fire came together to raise the American flag for the opening ceremony at the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb. PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER
Tags honoring those who died on Sept. 11, 2001 were available for climbers to wear in remembrance of the lives lost.
John Zeising, of the Red, White and Blue Fire Protection District in Breckenridge, was one of 2,000 climbers representing 60 fire departments at the ninth annual Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb. West Metro firefighters Chris Trost and Tyler Hecox lead the pack up the south ramp at Red Rocks Amphitheatre carrying the American and Colorado flags.
Members of the public are invited to climb alongside firefighters as a memorial.

Lone Tree veteran working on invention for the hearing-impaired BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In July 2016, Richard Braden woke up and couldn’t hear his grandfather clock. The 80-year-old Lone Tree resident knew that years of working with “big guns” in the U.S. Army had caught up with him, but it gave him the idea for his first invention. Braden began designing the Peck and Talk, or P & T, a device that would take spoken dialogue and transcribe it onto a screen. “I wanted something that I could wear around my neck that I could hold and would print out your words,” he says. For users not in the same room, the device operates like a walkie-talkie that uses 50 channels to connect with other users. For people in a face-toface conversation, the P & T would instantly transcribe words spoken into a microphone onto a screen, eliminating the need to read lips. What sets the P & T apart from smartphones and other similar devices, Braden says, is that his invention is streamlined to focus on only the audio equipment needed to take in speech and the data storage necessary to transcribe language. “I’m looking for a really big microchip,” he says. His target consumers are hearingimpaired adults like himself in the United States, but he adds that teenagers, known for passing notes and Snapchat messages, also have a desire to communicate discreetly. “My greatest market may not be deaf people, though that’s who it’s intended for,” he says, adding that each club or group a high school student is involved in could have its own channel for transmitting messages with the P & T. “Teenagers like to talk to each other quietly.”

Retired United States Army veteran Richard Braden looks at diagrams of the Peck and Talk, a device he hopes will help the hearing impaired converse and help teenagers communicate discreetly. TOM SKELLEY
TO GET INVOLVED Richard Braden is still looking for investors for the Peck and Talk. To get involved or for more information, he can be reached via phone or email. Phone: 303-736-8604 Email: rbraden007@gmail.com Startup companies historically face an uphill battle to succeed, and Braden is aware he faces a challenge to break into the technology industry. Braden is in the process of looking for investors and he hopes to find a manufacturer that will give him 90 days from shipment to payment, after which he’ll be on the hook for the cost. He knows startup ventures like his are risky, but he’s more focused on seeing his idea come to be than turning a large profit. “If I don’t sell them, I’m in deep trouble,” he says, undeterred. “A man as old as I am, why try to make a lot of money?”

lexa, don’t peel me a grape.” It has taken a while — my entire life — to figure something out. What I want and what I need are just about the same
thing. There are new technologies that I neither want nor need. I don’t want Alexa. I don’t want Tesla. I don’t want a camera in my car or a camera in my refrigerator (Samsung makes one). I don’t want to be able to turn my house lights on and off from a restaurant. At what point is enough — enough? Whatever it is, I think I am there. I don’t have a mobile device. Never have, and
never will, and I seem to be subsisting. That was the last piece of my technology puzzle, and I solved it years ago. Don’t want one, don’t need one. I do own and operate many of the usual suspects: a television with a remote, a garage door opener, and a dishwasher. I am able to send a column like this to my editor without seeing my editor. Clark Kent couldn’t do that, and neither could Walter Winchell. I can book flights at home, and ask not to be seated next to crying babies. It used to take me half a day to make a tape of my favorite songs. Now I can create a CD with a few finger touches.
I can “watch now” films and other programs that are upcoming. I have something called a “microwave” in the kitchen. I use it primarily to heat up my coffee. It does a splendid job.

t would probably be easy to read a little bias into today’s column since I am a writer here, so please don’t WINNING judge too WORDS harshly. With more than 1 billion users, and in some reports showing the numbers to be Michael Norton getting close to 2 billion people using social media, it is easy to see how some might confuse facts, share opinions and possibly mislead others or become misled themselves. There are also other studies that show where people get their news including TV, online, the radio, and print newspapers. I read one report that said 62 percent of adults consume the news online and another report that had that number as high as 81 percent. Of course, I got that data online, so maybe it’s accurate and then again maybe it’s not.

Social media and online news sources certainly have their value if we can discern what is fact and what is opinion, and what is just completely wrong or false. With so much happening in the world and so many opinions from the far left, the far right, the left, the right, and all of the people right down the middle, it really does become difficult to choose what we want to focus on or pay attention to. Now our community is so incredible, we always seem to rally and come together and become bound by the collective efforts we make to the national and international situations and crises whenever they happen. So let me share with you what I am doing for the next few months. Without sounding like I am sticking my head in the sand like an ostrich, or caring about what is happening in our nation or the world, I am focusing on my local reality.

This NASA policy is based on federal requirements and existing international treaties and agreements. The Planetary Protection Officer is responsible for leading NASA’s planetary protection capability, maintenance of planetary

I know, I know … I may not have the necessary degree(s) or experience, but I definitely have more-than-ample enthusiasm. Trips to Mars are streaking toward reality, and I want to go. If the Air Force Academy had been accepting female cadets when I went to college, I would have endured a military academy—I’m not much on rules—to build the foundation for a career as an astronaut. And if I had any credentials at all, I would be standing outside of the International Space Station program and pounding on the door. So, I’m thinking Planetary Protection Officer might be just the ticket. What will I be doing? For one, as noted in the job description, I’ll work with our space missions to make sure that any samples or miscellaneous materials, such as planetary surfaces that might cling to our crafts, are not bring-

More importantly, our local community newspapers are sponsored by the awesome local businesses and merchants who make our communities thrive.

ing harmful elements, or even organic matter, back to Earth. Setting theology aside for a moment, it’s breathtaking to consider that there might be life elsewhere in the universe, life of any kind botanical, marine, animal or of a kind we currently can’t even fathom. And since the advent of film, the movies have portrayed the (usually dire) results of human life colliding with these extraterrestrials. Hence, planetary protection for Earth. On the flip side, of course, is planetary protection for the celestial bodies we touch, such as humans bouncing around on the moon and rover vehicles on Mars. If we allow for the possibility that there are life forms we don’t know of or about, then we need plans to protect them as well. All this intrigues me: How do we protect—and protect against—what we don’t know exists? How do we know what we are bringing back and what we are leaving behind? As your Planetary Protection Officer,
I will be tirelessly investigating these issues. And I will also apply lessons from our Earthly history to this task. Preserve polar caps or any ice landscapes? Check. Minimize pollutants in the air and waterways? Check. Respect forestation, wildlife and marine habitats, and sacred and archeological sites? Check. To do my job properly, I’ll need the cooperation of, well, the entire planet. Given that my employer, NASA, is an American government entity, I like to hope that the U.S. will lead the way in long-term preservation and protection strategies. But with the current rollback of environmental regulations to score short-term points, my job as Planetary Protection Officer may be more to protect Earth from her current residents than from any interplanetary invaders.

HEARING FROM PAGE 3
Surveillance video from StorQuest Self Storage, one parking lot over from QED, caught who authorities said is Locascio on camera standing between cars and the building wall in the QED lot. He reached into the bed of a truck near Doe’s car and then walked behind Doe’s car, out of view of the camera, before Doe appeared to reach into it. Doe’s blood trails down the pavement in the video, and Locascio is seen fleeing on foot, said Kristin McCauley, investigator with the sheriff ’s office. After the shooting, Aurora police arrested Locascio about 1 p.m. at the 24 Hour Fitness at 15900 E. Briarwood Circle, just about a mile away from QED, after employees at that business made an unrelated call to police about a man acting suspicious during a gym tour. Locascio was carrying a black pouch with methamphetamine, a scale, a glass pipe with white residue, cigarettes and nine syringes, Deputy Brian Robinson with the sheriff ’s office said. A jail inmate later said Locascio was “shooting up” meth three to five times per day over a period of about seven months. Locascio’s defense implied that his alleged shooting of Doe was
SEPTEMBER 15, 2017S most likely due to a random act influenced by drug use. Aurora police and McCauley described Locascio as hot, sweating profusely and more anxious than a person detained by police usually would be. McCauley said Locascio had trouble keeping his eyes open, asked for water, didn’t know what day it was and kept saying he wasn’t on drugs. “He said he didn’t know where he was or what area he was in,” McCauley said. Police did not see any blood on Locascio’s clothes, face, hands or body and have not found the weapon used to shoot Doe, even after a search of open space and businesses in the area where Locascio went. A sawed-off shotgun was found in Locascio’s car, but it was unrelated to the shooting, according to authorities. The bullet that killed Doe was most likely from a .38-caliber revolver, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation told police Sept. 6. Police also found a white T-shirt folded underneath a seat in the car similar to what the man in the StorQuest video wore — Locascio was wearing a hoodie when arrested. His tattoo, glasses and bandana matched a witness account of the man running from the crime scene. The white shirt and his bandana did not have blood on them, his defense attorney said. But in addition to Locascio’s
DNA being located on a cigarette butt found underneath Doe’s body, a bloodhound used by investigators tracked Locascio’s scent at QED, at 24 Hour Fitness and a winding trail of places in between. According to a jail inmate who talked to Locascio, he said the suspect talked about going into the 24 Hour Fitness to leave a gun in the “laundry chute or something like that,” McCauley said. Four people who said they met Locascio in jail said he admitted to the shooting, according to McCauley. Locascio told police he had stopped in the area to put transmission fluid in his car, and an empty transmission fluid bottle was found at a parking space where he dropped some items. He parked at 6920 S. Jordan Road a little after 10 a.m., McCauley said. He planned to drive to Illinois, his father told investigators. Locascio’s defense questioned McCauley about a few possible reasons for the shooting. A second inmate said Locascio said he shot Doe over his ex-girlfriend having an affair with him, but McCauley said police couldn’t find evidence that she was located in Colorado. Locascio’s last address was in Colorado Springs. The previous inmate spoke of a “meth-induced insanity” Locascio was under and said he believed the shooting was random and that he

didn’t think Locascio knew he was doing it because he was so high, the defense said. Police believe that in the QED parking lot right before the shooting, Doe may have taken a plastic bag of marijuana from his own car because the top part of the bag was found next to his body as if it were ripped off. Co-worker Thomas Tallick said he knew Doe to use marijuana, but McCauley acknowledged there isn’t evidence suggesting a drug deal other than a third inmate’s account who spoke to Locascio. Phone records showed no correspondence between Doe and Locascio. Police have not “determined any association” between them, McCauley said. The defense generally argued that the alleged shooting by Locascio was most likely influenced by drug use. McCauley, in response to the prosecution’s questions, said Locascio was able to understand her questions and respond to them when she spoke to him shortly after the arrest, that he didn’t seem to be hallucinating and that he appeared to make intentional movements and statements. She also said it was possible Locascio could have taken drugs after his alleged shooting. The hearing will continue when the defense brings the four jail inmates who said they talked to Locascio to testify at 2 p.m. Nov. 17.

One frontier woman’s journal connects families across the ages BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
he history of the Denver area is sometimes thought of in broad strokes — before this time there was one of black and white, cowboys and miners, bonnets and butter churns. But our region was settled by families with the same hopes and fears we have today. “When we look to the past and think about what they went through, it reminds us how familiar their experience was to our own,” said Dr. Derek Everett, a Colorado State University history professor. “What motivated a person in Colorado 150 years ago is what people worry about today: family, friends, your job, finding a place to live, opportunities for your children.” Early Littleton settler Mollie Sanford, a newlywed farm girl from Nebraska, here with her husband Byron, kept an eloquent journal that reveals the similarities across the

in wagons, tents, and shelters made of carpets and bedding. I like the looks of the place.” Mollie arrived a year after Denver was founded at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. People, including families, were steadily arriving in hopes of getting in on the ground floor of a new boomtown. The telegraph was still three years away, the railroad
a decade away. “They were willing to take a chance,” said Dr. Stephen Leonard, a history professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “People had grown up hearing of settling Indiana or Minnesota. They had an adventuresome spirit.” But one person’s adventure is another’s nightmare. “Husbands write about what an exciting adventure this is,” Everett said. “Wives
write that they married the stupidest man on the planet, who has dragged them off into the middle of godforsaken nowhere to be murdered or starve to death.” Down on the farm Mollie and Byron eventually found themselves in the upper South Platte Valley, among a growing community of farmers and ranchers about where Sheridan is today. Mollie took to prairie life with good graces. “June 1, 1861: There can’t be much jealousy, for one is not much better off than others, so there is a feeling of brotherhood with all.” Life on a prairie farm was monotonous and labor intensive, said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the Littleton Museum, a living history village. Typical farms of the region were 160 acres, and often had a garden and livestock to provide sustenance, and fields of rye, barley and wheat. “Someone got up before dawn to milk the cow,” Wilhelm said. “Then a big breakfast before heading out to the fields to work. There was never much down time.” While men worked the fields, wives’ tasks included laundry, ironing, cooking and cleaning. SEE FRONTIER, P19

On Sundays many people went to church, a rare chance for entertainment and music. Men often congregated on Sunday afternoons at the post office, where all news of the outside world arrived.
Suffer the little children Life on the frontier was hard on the body. “September 25, 1861: My little babe was born, a beautiful boy, but he did not stay with us. God took him to his fold, this one pet lamb. When I first looked on his little face, he was in his little coffin, dressed in one of the sweetest robes I had made, into whose stitches I had woven dreams of my angel baby.” Mollie fell into a bit of a funk after the stillbirth, writing nearly a year later, while pregnant again: “July 4, 1862: O! but this is the most indolent life I ever led. Were I to write each day’s events, it would be, ‘Got up. Got breakfast, eat, washed dishes, got dinner, ate again,’ and so on, each succeeding day the same.” Mollie’s first child was born that fall: “November 10, 1862: I introduce to these pages my sweet baby boy, my little Bertie… A regular little captain, already giving his orders, with no intention of having them disregarded.” Little Bertie likely grew up fast, Wilhelm said. “There wasn’t much of a notion of childhood,” Wilhelm said. “Parents allowed some level of play, but children were learning to sew by age 2 or 3. There were no idle hands. If you were sitting around the fire, you might as well be knitting.” Families often had five or six kids, and sometimes more than a family could handle. Wilhelm recalled a Western Slope doctor of the period who sent out young assistants with wire to perform abortions.
The McBroom Cabin at the Littleton Museum was once home to an early settler’s family. PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT Tensions rise The influx of settlers displaced the native tribes who had lived in the region for ages prior. A series of reprisal killings in the summer of 1864 heated relations between settlers and natives to the boiling point. In June 1864, ranch hand Nathan Hungate, his wife Ellen, and their two daughters were found murdered, scalped and mutilated on a remote ranch near what is today Elizabeth. The Hungates’ bodies were displayed on Larimer Street in Denver, and the story of the murdered family was used to whip up public anger and calls for a final solution to the Indian problem. In September 1864, Mollie took in three recently recovered settlers who had been held hostage by natives, including a little girl: “The girl saw her father butchered... She would wake from a sound sleep, and sit up in bed with staring eyes, and go in detail over the whole thing.” Paranoia ran high in the charged atmosphere, and Mollie writes, “It was about 11 o’clock that a horseman came tearing up the road, dismounting at our door… he gasped out, knees knocking together, ‘Run, wimmen!
Run for your lives, the Injuns are coming!’” The warning turned out to be a false alarm. “It turned out people got scared of a cloud of dust they thought was Indians,” Leonard said. The paranoia culminated in the Sand Creek Massacre, when on Nov. 29, U.S. forces launched a dawn sneak attack on a peaceful Arapaho and Cheyenne village, killing upwards of 200, mostly women and children. Ensuing years saw natives pushed back to the margins, herded onto barren reservations. Not so wild west Mollie had a second child in 1866, introducing “my baby girl, a dimpled, blue-eyed, brown-haired darling. We call her ‘Dora Bell,’ and although hard times
Blacksmith Steve Loo pounds out decorative ironwork at the Littleton Museum. are with us, and troubles surround us, we are happy.” With the arrival of the first locomotive in Denver in 1870 came an era of explosive growth. Denver’s population in 1870 was virtually unchanged from when Mollie arrived 10 years earlier, but in the decade following the train’s arrival, the city swelled by almost 650 percent. Telephones, streetcars, opera houses, churches and hotels transformed the city. The rough frontier Mollie and her family settled was fading into memory. The young lady who watched the rugged West go tame died at age 76 in 1915, only a few months after her husband. She closes her journal: “I pray for grace, patience, and judgment, and for long and useful lives for us all.”

verybody knew him when he walked into the room and he received a loud ovation. Brent Adams was introduced Sept. 5 as the new OVERTIME boys lacrosse coach for the Falcons of Highlands Ranch High School. He became another wellrecognized lacrosse coach as the sport continues to draw qualified coaches to Colorado high school teams. Jim Benton I recall years ago when there were derogatory comments about the quality of prep soccer coaches, but the remarks have quieted as more knowledgeable people have joined the coaching ranks. Those kinds of observations never began in lacrosse, which has attracted top college and professional players to coach at many schools. Adams, who was an All-American selection at Fairfield University, comes from Valor Christian, where he was an assistant coach under former professional lacrosse legend John Grant Jr. Adams played for the Chesapeake Bayhawks and Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse. In 2016 he signed with the Denver Outlaws of the MLL and is currently in the second year of a two-year contract with the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. Adams, 26, replaces Outlaws captain Matt Bocklet who left Highlands Ranch to coach defending state champion Cherry Creek. “If you have a coach that is creditable, for lack of a better word, it allows players to commit to the sport a little more when they know they are getting good instruction that you really can’t find at a lot of schools,” said Adams. “I’m going to be hands-on as much as I can. I think the players will benefit from that. Lacrosse has done so much for me in my life that I can’t wait to give back as much as I possibly can.” Help-wanted sign out for officials There is a critical shortage of officials for almost every high school sport for all levels. The Colorado High School Activities Association offered clinics over the summer in an attempt to recruit new personnel, and CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green claims the workshops were successful. “We saw a little bit of growth,” she said. “We are now even thinking about being at some job fairs on the collegiate level. When you see the percentage of college people that don’t play college sports but have knowledge of SEE BENTON, P25

Warriors retain Brookridge trophy Arapahoe posts 28-13 win over Heritage in long-standing rivalry BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The cheering of the Arapahoe and Heritage students, parents and alumni was loud Sept. 8 when the Warriors and Eagles continued the Brookridge Trophy rivalry football game that dates to 1972. Arapahoe was able to post a 28-13 win at Littleton Public Schools Stadium and keep the trophy. “This rivalry is just as important to both schools as it was in the late 1980s when I played football for Arapahoe,” Warriors coach Mike Campbell said. “Everyone gets excited and comes out to cheer for their team. The crowds were just as big and just as loud as they were when I played in this game. This is a natural rivalry and a lot of the credit goes to former coaches Mike Griebel at Heritage and Paul Nelson at Arapahoe. They made this a very special rivalry with the milk-jug trophy like a trophy game in the Big Ten.” The Brookridge Trophy is a silver milk can and it is a tribute to the history of the area since the land that is now the stadium was part of the Brookridge Dairy that operated until the 1950s. Plaques cover the trophy with the score of each game played starting in 1972. Red plaques designate Heritage wins and black plaques designate Arapahoe wins. It is a traveling trophy and the winning team gets to keep it for a year. The Sept. 8 game remained scoreless until late in the second quarter when Alex Smith scored on a 5-yard run for the Warriors. Heritage countered before the end of the first half as Eagles kicker Christiano Palazzo split the uprights for a field goal to make the score 7-3. In the third period Matt Phelan scored the first of
Heritage quarterback Joe Weigang (4) runs the ball during the Sept. 9 game against Heritage Weigang scored a touchdown for the Eagles, but the Warriors won the rivalry game, 28-13. TOM MUNDS his two touchdowns for Arapahoe. Again, Heritage responded as quarterback Joe Weigang had Eagles fans on their feet when he kept the ball, pulled out of the grasp of a would-be tacklers and ran 72 yards for a touchdown. The Warriors held a 14-10 advantage going into the last quarter. Warrior senior Smith ran the ball in for a touchdown and Palazzo kicked his second field goal to make the score 28-13. In the final minute of the game, Heritage threatened with a first and 10 on the Warrior’s 11-yard-line. It came down to a fourth and seven, when Weigang threw a pass and Smith tackled Calob Gavin on the 1-yard-line to complete the goal-line stand. The Warriors ran out the clock and won the game. Warriors players, students and fans celebrated as Arapahoe retained the trophy.

the game and are part of intramurals, why aren’t we tapping into that resource?” In previous columns we noted a
“It was a solid game. We played hard, aggressive football but we have to correct some things because we were flagged for far too many penalties,” Campbell said. “This is a big game for both teams, you always want to beat your rival and we needed a win after losing last year.” Heritage coach Tyler Knoblock said it was a special game against a very respected rival in Arapahoe. “We played hard. The game was closer than the final twoscore difference, but we had some chances and didn’t put points on the board,” he said. “But I love our kids and I am proud of the way we played. We have some great young talent and I saw some kids grow up out there tonight. We played hard and we played better than we did last week and, of course, getting better every week is what we work to do.”
few of the reasons for the shortage, which include the aging of current officials, time commitment and pay. Varsity officials for most sports get $58 a game but another factor hurting the recruitment of officials is the abuse directed at them from coaches and fans. Mistreatment of officials hap-
Arapahoe senior Matt Phelan (22) cuts up the field as he seeks to elude Heritage defenders Phillip Ferguson (57) and Josh Rivera (77) during the Sept. 9 rivalry football game. Phelan scored a pair of touchdowns as the Warriors won the game, 28-13.
pens everywhere, and I watched a Colorado State Cup soccer match on Labor Day when the referee would not restart the action until an unruly fan left the field. “We need to educate our parents about how to treat officials,” admitted Blanford-Green, who says the CHSAA is working on ways to give
officials more recognition. “The National Association for Sports Officials will tell you that pay is not the reason we lose officials. “It has to do with three major areas. Retention and that has to do with how you’re treated, recognition and then pay. We are addressing the issues.”
