Board hopefuls don’t diverge sharply Three take part in forum for Littleton Public Schools seat
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Candidate Robert Reichardt probably summed up the race for Littleton Public Schools Board of Education best: “This is three 50-year-old white guys.” Indeed, their answers to questions put to them during a Sept. 22 forum at Littleton High School, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, revealed very few differences between Reichardt, Richard Boorom and Jim Stephens. They all have kids who have gone through the district and have spent time volunteering in classrooms and district-level committees. They all say they support the teachers, and that “pay for performance” is a flawed plan. They all say vouchers are unnecessary in LPS

because there’s already plenty of school choice. They agree that Common Core has value, though much of it has been usurped by politics. And they all stress that they’re in no way trying to turn the district into the battlegrounds Jefferson and Douglas counties have become, and that partisanship should be left at the door of the boardroom. “It doesn’t really have a role, but it’s not realistic because we all have biases,” said Boorom, who has been the president of the for-profit Argosy University
in Denver for the last five years. “But if the purpose is really all about the kids … I believe the best way to influence the lives of our learners is through our teachers.” Reichardt, an education-policy analyst whose mother was a teacher, agreed. He called “picking fights” with teachers unions “silly.” “There’s no place for partisan politics, but there’s a lot of room for debate,” he said. “We should talk and debate about what’s best for kids. This is a scary time for parents and children, and it’s a scary time for voters.” Stephens, a retired technical consultant who chaired the district’s successful mill-levy campaign in 2013, said the culture throughout LPS has been about kids first, not politics, since a “Back to Basics” slate got elected in 1993. It was promptly replaced by voters four years later. “We honor all voices,” said Stephens. “We had a very interesting experience in the 1990s when we stopped doing that,
and we’re not going back there.” The three men did offer different answers when asked what their first priorities would be. “I think the low-hanging fruit that would have the biggest impact the most quickly is internal communication, telling our own successes,” said Boorom, who lives in Littleton’s Coventry neighborhood. A benefit, he said, is that if more people knew LPS has the same programs as better-advertised ones in neighboring districts, students wouldn’t be lost to them. Reichert, who lives in Littleton’s Aberdeen Village neighborhood, said the district could be more parent-friendly. He said no-student days can create havoc for parents and could be made more convenient for them, and that more guidance could be given to parents wondering which school would be the

ob Hanna might be considered a bit of an oddity among staff and board members of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District: He’s bad at golf. “I’m a terrible golfer,” laughs the district’s new executive director. “I’ve managed courses for 20 years, but I can’t break 100.” He now oversees four of them, plus a disc-golf course, along with all the district’s facilities, parks, trails and open space. And though he and his family are active — two teenage boys keep them busy with baseball, football and lacrosse — his career arose more out of a love of planning than for recreation. “I was on the city-manager track,” he said. “There just really wasn’t an opportunity on the Front Range that interested me. … Then when I read the article about Dave Lorenz retiring, I thought this would be the best of both worlds. It’s a perfect fit.” Hanna was the director of parks, recreation and golf for the Town of Castle Rock before the SSPR board of directors voted unanimously to hire him on June 17. “We are excited that Rob will be leading South SuburTurf continues on Page 11

School district salutes volunteers Area seniors do their part to help young people Staff report While seniors who volunteer in local schools get a little break on their property taxes, they give back a huge benefit to the children. “Littleton Public Schools is blessed to have so many giving volunteers who have had such a profound impact on the community,” said Superintendent Brian Ewert. “We get so much more from it than they do. They volunteer way beyond the hours for which we can pay them. They add perspective, history and a lifetime of experience to these students’ lives, and their contribution is truly priceless.” Ewert recognized those celebrating big anniversaries as LPS volunteers during the Sept. 10 board of education meeting, including one couple who have dedicated 20 years to the kids. John and Betty Dickinson, who just celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary, began volunteering in the kitchens of three different schools. When they decided it was time for a change, they moved to the I Love to Read program at Whitman and Hopkins elementary schools. Through the one-to-one reading program, the Dickinsons say they have developed valuable relationships with individual students. “They have not only helped stu-
dents to improve their reading skills, but have been positive and caring influences in the lives of these young learners,” said Ewert. The board also recognized several seniors who have been part of the Senior Tax Rebate Program for a decade: Irene Cornish spends dedicated hours in the Highland Elementary School library and is the lead volunteer for the PTO Boxtops for Education program. Always with a smile, she volunteers to help anytime the school hosts a special event. Ellen Backes worked for 20 years in the Arapahoe High School library before retiring. She now reads with little ones at Hopkins Elementary School every Tuesday and Thursday, as part of the “I Love to Read” program Paul and Caryl Morrell also visit Hopkins to help with the reading program. Through the Optimist Club, the Morrells also help students at both East and Field elementaries. Dee O’Donnell brings the magic of storytelling to Wilder and Peabody elementaries through the Spellbinders program. She often volunteers for evening literacy events and other activities, and “Storytelling with Dee” has become a popular silent auction item at fundraisers. Barb Schuler spends lots of time in a second-grade classroom at Twain Elementary School, helping with everything from reading, to administering spelling tests, to reading aloud to the class, to clerical work.
Finding the poetry in teaching Editor’s note: This is the first of an occasional series about Judy Racine, who will retire at the end of this school year after 40 years of teaching. The gang of secondand third-graders tumbles in from recess with an effervescent energy that bounces Ann Macari through the lowHealey ceilinged room. “Yay!” Tim pumps a fist into the air. “We’re doing poetry! I love poetry!” Judy Racine folds her long, lanky body onto a short stool at the edge of a circular rug. “Let’s scrunch up close here,” she says. “Sit down on your bottoms. I need to see your faces. Come close.” The kids settle into a crooked ring, kneeling, sitting, listening to Judy read poems about fruits and vegetables written by last year’s students, discussing their favorite words and lines. Behind Judy is a paper pad with the words I can explain what poetry means to me. “What does that mean?” she asks. “What is this learning target going to ask you to do?” Arms dart into the air. “Write something beautiful,” Gage says, “and not too long and not too short.” Which is how you could describe what happens in this room: Never-ending poems that tell stories — not too long and not too short — of revelation and wonder and a hunger for knowledge instilled by a teacher. That is, incontrovertibly, beautiful. •••• Judy, as her students call her, is 64. She plans to retire at the end of this school year, after 40 years in education. The daughter of a dairy farmer in a small town in Devon, a county in southwest England known for its countryside and seashores, she stumbled into teaching. She left school at 16, as many did then who didn’t qualify for advanced-level schooling, and soon after took a bus to London searching for direction. She worked short stints as a hospital receptionist and at a children’s charity and traveled throughout Europe.
Teacher Judy Racine takes a selfie with her crew of second- and third-graders at Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning. She is retiring this year after 40 years of teaching. Courtesy photo “When you’re a teen, you want to get away,” she says. “And I needed a different adventure in my life.” At 21, she won a full scholarship to a teaching college and four years later began teaching fourth-graders at a primary school with a group of other new teachers. “It was the blind leading the blind,” she remembers. “We didn’t know what to do.” But she learned. “You figure it out by doing it,” Judy says. “You figure it out by watching great teachers teach. That’s how you figure it out. And you have each other.” The reason she stayed so long in the classroom is easy: The kids. “Their experiences are new every day,” she says. “You see their eyes and their wonder and how they open up to learning. It’s cool. It’s like watching a seed grow.” She is, however, ready to wind up this chapter, not only to explore new experiences, but also because the state of teaching has changed so drastically.

Breast cancer survivors share inner strength Amy McDowell and Minda Carmann were both in their 30s when they were diagnosed
Amy McDowell, shown with her husband, Brian, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer six years ago. Courtesy photo
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was estimated that in 2015, 231,840 women and 2,350 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States, according to Susan G. Komen. In Colorado, it was estimated that 125 of every 100,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. For many, the statistics are frightening. But for those fighting the battle of breast cancer, the support and love of family members and friends is what strengthened them during their fight. Here are the stories of two survivors in the south metro area and how they got through their fight. Amy McDowell, Highlands Ranch Amy McDowell is a native of Colorado, and has spent the last eight years living in Highlands Ranch. Six years ago, when she was pregnant with her second son, she found a lump in her left breast. “I credit my OB/GYN for saving my life,” she said. “He took my concerns seriously — many doctors don’t in young women, saying, ‘You’re too young’ — and recommended a mammogram.” She was 32 at the time and wouldn’t have had a regularly scheduled mammogram for eight more years. McDowell was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at 36 weeks pregnant and had a double mastectomy two weeks later. She started chemotherapy three weeks after that. Her oldest son was 4 years old. “Before I was diagnosed, I had always thought I would be the type of person to crumble if I got diagnosed with cancer,” McDowell said. “However, I learned that I possessed a fighting spirit; buoyed by the love of my husband, family and friends. I knew from day one that I would fight this with all I had.” But there were down times, especially in the beginning. And in down times, motivational quotes kept her going. “Throughout my breast cancer journey,

my husband and I were so blessed to feel the love of so many around us,” McDowell said. “It’s when you go through something truly life-changing that you learn how much your friends and community really care about you. I wish for everyone to feel that blanket of love without having to experience a cancer diagnosis!” McDowell said her two children and her husband helped her get through each day. “I knew that I had to be as strong as I could, and when I couldn’t be strong anymore, I leaned on the people I loved to help me get through another day,” she said.

pointment with her doctor. The doctor originally said that there was nothing to worry about, but Carmann was sent for a mammogram anyway. “I had some girlfriends that went through it, but I thought that would never happen to me,” Carmann said. She was diagnosed with Stage 1 invasive breast cancer. “The first couple months were really rough not knowing what you’re dealing with, what the plan is,” Carmann said, adding that she has a history of depression and anxiety. “That set in really hard,” she said. “The first couple months, I didn’t have a lot of fight in me.” Over the last year, Carmann has had several surgeries in her road to recovery.
But her husband, her mom and other women with breast cancer have been the forces that pulled her out of depression. “I had women who said, ‘You’re going to make it though this, stop feeling sorry for yourself,’” Carmann said, adding that once she had a plan in place, she felt a lot better. She still has one more surgery scheduled and the battle, she said, is not over yet. “The first battle is getting the diagnosis and being scared,” she said. “The next is getting thorough treatment — dealing with physical symptoms. Now, it is moving on with your life and being thankful for every day.”
Advice for others McDowell said that women and men all over need to know that cancer can happen to anyone at anytime. It’s important, she said, to know your body and share concerns with your doctor. And if that doctor doesn’t take you seriously, find another doctor. “There have been far too many women whose doctors have told them, ‘You’re too young, come back in a year if you are still worried,’ and by the time they are diagnosed, their cancer has spread and the diagnosis is far less favorable.” Carmann said that her diagnosis has taught her to grab hold of all the positives in her life. She does more now, things that she was scared of. “I’m more seize the moment,” she said.

Fly fishing reel deal for women Highlands Ranch class brings new participants to the sport
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity.com
Highlands Ranch resident Cyndy Scholz casts her line and watches her fly bob up and down as small fish circle in the water below. On her fishing rod are a tiny pink ribbon and the words “Casting for Recovery.” Scholz, a breast cancer survivor introduced to fly fishing at a retreat about eight years ago, has a deep appreciation for the sport. “Fly fishing makes me feel focused and reminds me to live in the moment,” r said Scholz. “I’m not worried about today or tomorrow — it’s about the here and the now.” Scholz and her team e of volunteers from Cutthroat Chapter of Trout Unlimited joined the Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Association for the fourth year of Ladies Fishing on the n Fly. The three-day event y included two classroom Volunteer instructor and mem- sessions and one field trip to Fly’n B Park on ber of Cutthroat Chapter Cyndy West Plaza Drive in Scholz shows off the first catch Highlands Ranch. n of the day at the Fly’n B Park A sport typically taipond. lored to men, fly fishing is proving to be popular r among the ladies. “This is a great class for women who want to get into the sport,” said Naomi Becker, of Highlands Ranch. “It’s a non-intimidating, intimate environment with other women and very patient instructors.” Scholz and her husband, Steve, were two of the instructors who belong to Cutthroat Chapter, a conservancy devoted to protecting Colorado’s rivers. Steve picked up fly fishing after his wife returned from her retreat and insisted he join her in the sport. The couple now spends almost every weekend fly fishing in the south metro area tand Summit County. Steve saw the tremendous effect fly fishing had on his wife during her recovery, and he encourages people who have been through traumatic life events to try the sport. “It brings people who are depressed — because of past abuse or trauma — back to life,” Steve said. Other fly fishing groups have worked closely with support groups like Healing Waters and Wounded Warriors. It’s a sport that helps people relax because the only thing to focus on is the fly in the water, Steve said. Cutthroat Chapter wants more women to get involved in the sport and the conservancy. It’s beneficial for mind and body and brings a deeper appreciation for the outdoors, said Jim DeLong, the chapter’s vice president. “We don’t want to be a men’s-only group or club,” said DeLong. “We want women to be stewards of our rivers and lakes.” At the end of the field trip, the ladies sat around picnic tables, exchanging numbers and chatting about upcoming river trips. “This class,” Becker said, “really provides a way for women to come together and enjoy the sport.” For more information about the Cutthroat Chapter, visit www.cutthroatctu.org.

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

Senior Reach supports at-risk generation Mental-health issues, suicide surge as baby boomers retire
THINGS TO WATCH FOR Senior Reach urges people to watch for the following signs that could indicate that an older adult is need of help:
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Maria Pearson’s job is to help seniors, but her even more important job is to find the ones who need help — and that’s everyone’s job. “We are one point of entry for our seniors, for those folks who are most vulnerable, who have never asked for help before,” she said. “We ask the community to be our eyes and ears.” Maybe you have an elderly neighbor who seems to be drinking too much, or an aunt who suddenly lost a bunch of weight, or a father who seems to be repeating things a lot. These can all be signs of mental-health distress, and that’s what Pearson, executive director of Senior Reach, is out to combat. The program operates locally under the auspices of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. But it’s been vetted by the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, a database of mental-health and substance-abuse interventions. At the heart of Senior Reach is a training program to teach people to recognize signs that a senior might need such an intervention. Pearson says she’ll visit any church, neighborhood group, school, book club or service organization to give a presentation that could help community members save lives. “We will go anywhere to talk about the program,” she told those gathered at HealthSouth in Littleton on Sept. 22 to help formally kick off the program. Once clients are identified, Senior Reach can help with a long list of reliable resources for food, transportation, medical care and mentalhealth treatment — things that can become more complicated after retirement, said Pearson. “Almost one in four people have at least one chronic condition,” says Luci Draayer, a licensed clinical social worker with the Colorado Neurological Institute. “Take the regular `boomer dynamics’ … and then put a disease on top of it. Life can get kind of crazy.” Many of the baby boomers who will retire over the next 18 years could suddenly find themselves without a support network, without immediate family nearby and without the reliance on social media to maintain friendships that younger people have. This can lead
Mental state — Confusion, disorientation, memory loss, repetitiveness Physical — Difficulty in seeing, hearing or walking, alcohol or substance abuse Emotional — Recent loss of spouse, loss of appetite, signs of depression, anxiety or withdrawing Social — Isolated, possible victim of abuse, neglect or exploitation Appearance — Unkempt, dirty clothes, weight loss
Maria Pearson, executive director of Senior Reach, wants the community to help find seniors who might be experiencing depression, anxiety or other mental-health issues. She’ll be traveling throughout the area to train anyone who wants to learn how. Courtesy photo
Environment — Home needs repair, trash or debris in yard, neglected pets Economic — Confused about money matters, inability to afford necessities
to depression, substance abuse and even suicide, said Joan DiMaria, executive director of A/ DMHN. According to a 2012 Institute of Medicine report, between 5 million and 8 million American seniors have one or more mental-health or substance-abuse disorders, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2013 that suicide attempts among baby boomers are surging. “The burden of mental illness and substance abuse disorders in older adults in the United States borders on a crisis,” reads the IOM report. DiMaria stresses that mental illness is treatable. “Depression is not a normal part of aging,” she said. “That’s a myth that many people believe, and it’s absolutely untrue.” Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec knows all too well what can happen if it’s left untreated. He shared a story about his grandfather, who outlived two wives and found himself living alone on a farm at the age of 96. “He started falling down, and rather than be
institutionalized, he decided to take his own life,” said Cernanec. “It was an easy solution for my grandfather, but it was a very tough time for my family.” It’s a story that Valerie Robson has heard many times. She’s the adult services program manager for Douglas County, where, she says, the senior population is growing at a phenomenal rate. “We’ve heard over and over again, but very quietly, ‘I think I need help, and I don’t know who to ask, and I don’t know where to turn,’” said Robson. “They don’t want you to know they’re depressed. They’re afraid that if they tell you, that they might end up in an institution.” Centennial resident Betsy Mathies is one who found a way to reach out. When she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012, she first burst into tears. “And then I remember I said, ‘Oh shoot!’ (The doctor) asked me if I wanted to say something stronger than that, and I said, ‘I’d like to start, but I might not be able to stop — it would be F-bomb city.’ Find some humor in it. Sometimes, you’ve got to laugh at it.”

Kennel named for fallen Marine dog-handler David Sonka honored at Camp Lejeune By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two years after making the ultimate sacrifice, Cpl. David Sonka’s legacy endures. The latest example is the renaming of the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command dog kennel at Camp Lejeune, the North Carolina base where Sonka trained. On Sept. 7, Sonka’s widow and family members attended a ceremony at the base to unveil the Corporal David M. Sonka Multi-Purpose Canine Facility. Sonka, 23, was on his second deployment in Afghanistan when he, his canine, Flex, and Staff Sgt. Eric Christian were killed in an insider attack on May 4, 2013, while conducting combat operations in Farah Province. Sonka was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart. In a statement to Colorado Community Media, Sonka’s mother, Donna Francis, said she is and will continue to be “devastated and heartbroken” over her son’s death. “The renaming of the MARSOC Kennels in Camp Lejeune, N.C., is truly an honor and speaks highly of Dave’s hard work and dedication as a Marine K-9 handler,” Francis said. “However, I wish none of this had to exist. As proud as I am of all his accomplishments, I would gladly give back every honor, tribute and dedication he has received since his death. The only thing I wanted was my son back alive.” Sonka’s name comes up often in the community where he grew up. Before its Sept. 16 game against Chaparral High School, Rock Canyon High School’s softball team sent out a tweet that read: “Come support us as we honor Cpl. David Sonka, grad from Chap.” Sonka attended Chaparral, where former classmates held a candlelight remembrance ceremony after his death. There are also multiple online tributes to Sonka. A Facebook page called “David Michael Sonka — Always Remember” has nearly 500 followers and still posts information

on a regular basis, including a Sept. 11 post that said “David was 11 when the towers fell. He saved and donated $200 to help the victims.” Sonka joined the Marine Corps in August 2008. After being assigned to the Marine Special Operations Support Group at Camp Lejeune, he completed a special ops training course and multi-purpose canine courses. He was then attached to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion as a multi-purpose canine handler. Master Gunnery Sgt. John Alen, who was serving as program manager at MarSOC when Sonka worked there, said the memorial recognizes his and Flex’s sacrifice and service. “I have no doubt it was his love for this country that led David to enlist in the United States Marine Corps,” Alen said. In May, there was an outpouring of sympathy for Falco, a military working dog that Sonka handled for three years. Sonka was deployed with Falco to Afghanistan in 2011. Sonka’s widow, Torey, took in Falco after he retired in March, but the patrol explosive detector dog died two months later of gastric torsion. Several supporters on the military working dogs Facebook page said they take comfort in knowing that Sonka and Falco are now reunited.
State’s top court to decide if cities can ban fracking Colorado, energy industry face challenge over local control By Dan Elliott Associated Press The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether cities can ban hydraulic fracturing, stepping into a highstakes battle over whether local governments can impose tougher oil and gas rules than the state. The court will hear cases from Longmont, where voters banned hydraulic fracturing in 2012, and Fort Collins, where voters approved a five-year moratorium in 2013. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association sued the two cities, and lower courts overturned the local restrictions, saying regulation is the state’s prerogative. The cities and several environmental groups appealed. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, injects a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals underground to crack open formations and make it easier to recover oil and gas. It’s a widespread practice that led to an energy boom in Colorado, the nation’s No. 7 energy-producing state, and elsewhere. The state Supreme Court’s decision could settle a long-simmering battle fought on multiple fronts in Colorado, including public health, the environment and property rights. “I would say this is pretty huge,” said Tanya Heikkila, an associate professor at the University of Colorado-Denver who studies fracking policy debates. The state has generally taken the position that it has the sole power to regulate the oil and gas industry, and that local governments can participate in decisions
about how drilling and fracking occur but not whether it should be allowed. “Local governments obviously still want some say in the ‘whether,’” Heikkila said. “The Supreme Court decision will clarify that issue.” Critics say fracking endangers public health and underground water supplies. The industry maintains it is safe. Fracking has also intensified battles over property rights in Colorado. Landowners — sometimes called surface owners — often don’t own the rights to the minerals underneath their property, setting up disputes over where and how the mineral owners can drill. Noise, lights and health worries generate complaints when drilling rigs set up near homes or schools. New York state has banned fracking, citing environmental and public health risks. Energy-rich Texas and Oklahoma enacted laws in May that prevent local governments from banning fracking. One of the proponents of the Longmont ban, a group called Our Longmont, welcomed the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to weigh in. “This is an issue with profound consequences for our community and its residents,” Our Longmont president Kaye Fissinger said. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association also welcomed the court’s intervention and predicted the local restrictions wouldn’t survive. Spokesman Doug Flanders said the group has been working on finding workable solutions to the disputes. Longmont Assistant City Manager Sandy Seader said the city is ready to defend its ban. A Fort Collins official didn’t immediately return a call. The court didn’t indicate when it might rule.
The Marine kennel at Camp Lejeune was renamed in honor of Cpl. David Sonka, who lived in Parker and attended Chaparral High School.

VOICES
LOCAL
Being ready for best is way to be blessed Whenever I am traveling for business or for pleasure, and as I board my flight and am greeted by the flight attendant with “Welcome aboard, and how are you doing?” my response is always the same, “I am ready for the best flight ever!” That usually generates a smile from the flight attendant and any of the crew who may be paying attention. And sometimes I can even see a sense of pride as their body language and facial expressions shift. I like to do the same thing when I am greeted at a restaurant. When a host, hostess, or server asks me how I am doing, I respond in a similar way, “I am ready for the best meal ever!” Again, this usually has the staff smiling and feeling proud. And in both situations I will share with you that the customer service I experience is tremendous. This happens because an expectation was established and the people responsible had something to aspire to. Now what if we started each day with this same philosophy? I mean what if when we got out of bed and greeted ourselves in the mirror each morning, we actually asked ourselves how we are doing, and then responded, “I am ready for the best day ever!” Believe it or not, there are some people who wake up expecting the very worst day possible. They believe that only bad things will happen
or situations will be filled with gloom and doom. You see these folks in the coffee shop, in the car next to you as you are stuck in traffic, dropping off their kids at school, and anywhere your morning travels might take you. No smiles, kind of terse and grouchy, shoulders Michael Norton slumped, and oozing of negativity. WINNING Here is what I found WORDS to be the difference: The people who have the very best days ever are the people who expect to have the very best day ever. They plan and prepare for happiness and success. And they go about planning and preparing and setting expectations in different ways. Some people take the time the evening before to write out the events and tasks for the next day so that when they wake up they are ready to roll. Others will wake up earlier than anyone else in the home so they can have a cup of coffee and some quiet time. Others will read, meditate, pray, work out, or participate
in a devotional or Bible study before beginning their day. There are many ways an individual can choose to start their day, and the people who experience the greatest joy and success are those who set their expectations around positive outcomes. The second thing I see people do after setting positive expectations and being grounded in their commitments to staying positive is that they think through any possible barriers to success. They consider situations or people who may intentionally or unintentionally disrupt their journey to having the best day ever. And once they know who or what can possibly go wrong, they have a strategy for dealing with those disruptions so that they remain in control and their “best day ever” goes on as planned. How about you? How do you like to prepare for, plan, and start your day to help make it the best day ever? I would love to hear all of your thoughts at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we expect to have the best day ever, it really will be a better than good week.

Silent letters give up right to fair hearing There are few things that I appreciate more than complete silence. Except when it comes to the alphabet. I just read this, and I was furious: “J.K. Rowling says you’re mispronouncing Voldemort.” Now she tells us. The “t” is silent. I don’t know anything about her books or the movies. About all I know is that I thought Emma Watson was a rather clever girl whenever she appeared on Letterman. Silent letters should be against the law. I have gone from a position of complaint to something more aggressive. If they are silent, do away with them or else. How did you pronounce “Degas” the first time you saw it? I am sure it wasn’t “Day-ga.” The French are to blame for a lot of this. You pronounce all of the letters in his first name. Edgar. His last name gets Frenched up. How do you pronounce “Grand Marnier”? How do you pronounce “Dom Perignon”? Have you ever been to Sault St. Marie? Explaining silent letters is a deeper study than I realized. And none of it would be needed if silent letters were forbidden, as they should be. Of course, it would put a few people out of business, like functional grammar special-
ists. Have you ever heard of “exocentric diographs,” or “endocentric diographs”? Me either. There is an exocentric diograph in “enough.” There is an Craig Marshall Smith endocentric diograph in “guard.” QUIET is there an DESPERATION “h”Why in “Theresa”? Why are there two “e’s” in “employee”? Why are there two “l’s” in “misspell”? Look who’s talking. There are two “l’s” in my middle name and one of them is silent. I have never known which one. Take your pick. If it didn’t have two “l’s” I would be a marshal, a municipal law officer. No thanks. One of the reasons why I am not interested in fashion is because of Yves St. Laurent. That name is really messed up. It’s about as far away from phonetic spelling as it gets. Smith continues on Page 9

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Local elections make a difference Ballots will be coming out later this month. Sometimes people toss them in the trash if it’s a local election and they don’t know the candidates. Politics has become just plain exhausting after all. Nevertheless, I want to encourage people to vote. Carrie Penaloza is running for Centennial City Council, District 2. I’m excited about this because she is not a stereotypical politician, looking to climb the ladder or making promises she cannot keep. Carrie really wants to make a difference in our community. She has been attending city council meetings and HOA gatherings to learn what neighbors are concerned about. This former prosecutor believes in maintaining a safe community, using tax dollars efficiently, economic growth and government accountability. I’ve known Carrie for 10 years. We used to walk our kids to Homestead Elementary together. I trust her integrity and her desire to exceed expectations, and I’m looking forward to casting my ballot. Meira Pentermann Centennial

Getting youths active boosts national security In early October, schools across Colorado and nationwide are holding events for Walk and Bike to School Day. As a retired general and a medical doctor, I can tell you that increasing physical activity is vitally important for our children’s health and our future national security. Obesity is the leading medical reason why 70 percent of young people in Colorado are ineligible for military service. In addition to affecting recruiting, obesity has risen 61 percent among active duty service members since 2002 and the Department of Defense spends more than $1.5 billion every year on obesity-related health care and costs to replace unfit personnel. During my military career, I was a combat medic and deputy director of the military’s health care system. I saw firsthand the musculoskeletal injuries that prevent a truly alarming number of active duty personnel from being deployed. More than 60 percent of non-deployed active duty service members experience a sprain, stress fracture, or other related injury each year due in part to poor nutrition and exercise habits. The military is spending billions treating these injuries among active duty personnel and veterans. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we know what Colorado’s policymakers and communities can do to help solve these problems. A recent report from the national security organization Mission: Readiness, of which I am a member, outlined a three-part plan to put young Coloradans on a healthy track for life. Step one is to build communities that foster physical activities, like biking and walking. Research shows that simply walking or biking to and from school can add

Grammarians have determined that 11 letters are capable of the silent treatment. They are “b,” “c,” “d,” “g,” “h,” “k,” “n,” “p,” “t,” “u,” and “w.” And if they all appear in the same word, the entire word is silent, so don’t even bother.
Healey Continued from Page 2
Education today is boxed by too many rules, too many tests, she says. It has lost some of its vitality, some of its foundational ingredients. Take, for instance, something as basic as recess: Up to 40 percent of U.S. school districts have reduced or eliminated recess to free up more time for academics, and one in four elementary schools no longer provides recess to all grades, according to a 2010 Gallup survey. To Judy, that’s a big deal. “Play is the engine that drives learning,” she says. And children “need to experience play through their learning. I’ve always considered that super important.” At Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning, where she’s taught for 20 years, Judy found a place that let her work outside the box. The school, tucked in a south Denver neighborhood, is supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition. It incorporates the principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum, which is built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips — or expeditions — and culminate in a project that pulls all the learning together. “I can still be creative and inspire,” Judy says. “I can still plan content that’s not testdriven...that’s instilling curiosity.” And she can still have fun. “Teachers here have fun — they’re always smiling. It’s stressful, but there is a great sense of community here.” •••• Curiosity flies around Judy’s room. Questions jump from posters and placards on the walls that focus on this fall’s theme of botany. “Where does food that we eat come from?” “Why does the world need plants?” “What do plants need to grow?” Blue parakeets chirp in a cage in one corner. Jars with sunflowers rest on low tables. There are only a few chairs, but many rugs. Books overflow in yellow and green bins along the wall. Small student-potted containers with plants line the windowsill. Several Chinese lanterns hang from the ceil-
an average of 16 minutes of physical activity to a child’s day, just over onequarter of the daily amount GUEST recommended by experts. UnfortuCOLUMN nately, only 20 percent of adolescents in Colorado walk or bike to school. Fortunately, we have a great success story here in Colorado that deserves continued support. Within the past decade, Safe Routes to School and walking school bus programs in Colorado have helped hundreds of schools increase the number of children who walk and bike to and from school by improving sidewalks, bicycle paths, intersections, traffic signals and other infrastructure, as well as by enlisting parents to participate. State leaders must prioritize funding for safer and better biking and walking infrastructure so that more children can have an “active commute” to school and more opportunities for physical activity in their communities. Step two is to build physical activity into the school day. Physical education — PE — is an important source of physical activity for children. Yet PE is now absent from many schools and limited in others. Fifty-six percent of adolescents in Colorado report receiving no PE in an average week, which helps to explain why only half of high school students in the state get the recommended hour of daily physical activity. We must support efforts to increase access to and strengthen the quality of school physical education

programs. In addition to increasing opportunities for physical activity, healthy eating habits will also help to prevent obesity and provide nutrients that enhance physical activity and healthier bone and muscle growth. That is why step three is to stay the course on healthier school meals. As a result of updated national nutrition standards for school meals that went into effect in 2012, 100 percent of schools in Colorado are now serving healthier meals that have more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. This is great news for parents who want their kids to eat healthy meals at school and great news for everyone who’s concerned about the obesity epidemic because many kids get up to half of their daily calories at school. As Congress considers the future of the National School Lunch Program, I urge Colorado’s congressional delegation to support the updated school nutrition standards and refrain from any attempt to weaken or roll back the current guidelines. Healthy eating and exercise habits in childhood lead to healthy habits in adulthood. That is why it is so important to provide children with healthy school meals and more opportunities for physical activity in school and in the community. This will ensure that those who want to join the military are fit enough to do so. Elder Granger, a Centennial resident, is a medical doctor and a retired major general in the Army.
Why is there an “e” at the end of Gross Pointe? So they can charge extra for mansions. We’re nearing Christmas. Which means we are nearing the mispronunciation of “poinsettia.” Kids, the final “i” is not silent. And the first “r” in “February” isn’t silent. The second “o” in sophomore isn’t either. We are a bunch of lazy sods when it comes to words. We abbreviate, truncate and emasculate the English language. Well, you do. I don’t.
Anyone who says “EVOO” deserves to be slapped. That’s how Melvin “Slappy” White got his nickname. White was a comedian, but he was also a scholar, and he slapped anyone who abused language. He once loosened a man’s tooth when he said “Frisco,” referring to San Francisco. You just don’t do that. What’s the point of naming a city Las Vegas if you are going to call it “Vegas”? Vegas were subcompacts made by Chev-
rolet. They were beset with problems. I haven’t seen one on the road in 30 years. Let’s get back to Degas. No one knows if Degas ever spent any time in a Vega in Las Vegas. Now I want you to look at the word “Wednesday” and tell me what it is doing in this column.
ing casting a soft light. Colored bubble letters spell out values the class embraces: Discipline. Integrity. Compassion. Courage. Responsibility. “We Are a Crew, Not Passengers,” reads another placard. Pictures of each student dot a bulletin board, accompanied by adjectives that describe them. An organized, kaleidoscopic quilt of color, objects and information, the room imparts warmth, inquiry and collaboration — a comfortable place to learn. The 25 students scatter among the tables and sort through the poetry books. They begin to read, searching for one that speaks to them. Judy circulates, passing out sticky notes, crouching down to ask questions, spur dialogue. Burch Meriwether-Archer, her teaching assistant, helps. Burch’s two sons had Judy at one time or another. “Everything she does is built into giving kiddos good support so they know where the boundaries are,” Burch says. “She has high expectations for good behavior. She strikes the perfect balance between letting kids be developmentally appropriate and stretching them to let them grow.” Her students agree. “She gives us challenges,” Landon, 7, says. “And I like challenges because challenges actually make you get smarter, and I like getting smarter.” “She makes us set our goals, which makes us try harder and do better,” Tim, 8, says. Back at the rug, the children take turns sharing their poems, pinpointing exactly what they liked about them. “Put your poetry books on the rug,” Judy says. “Your exit ticket to a break outside is . . . to prove to me you can now explain what poetry means to you.” The answers come quickly. “It can be long.” “It can be short.” “Poems can be sad, funny or serious.” “Poems can give you ideas.” “It’s beautiful.” “It can teach you.” Soon, the classroom is quiet. The children are outside. Playing. Learning. Judy is preparing for the next lesson. She’s not thinking much about the end of this last year yet because good teaching requires staying present. Her primary goal is to enjoy the children. “I’m going to just make sure the kids are happy,” she says. “And I’m enjoying myself. And they’re definitely learning.”
And that is a beautiful definition of teaching.

Projects to reshape north end of Parker
Commercial, mixed-use developments booming
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A quick drive around Parker shows more active construction projects than there have been in years. Parker’s north end is no exception. With construction machinery rumbling onto vacant land — and more to come — residents might wonder where and when to expect projects to take shape. The following provides quick-hitting updates on some of the major commercial and residential projects on the north side of town.
Boondocks Boondocks Family Fun Center came to town last year proposing a 53,000-squarefoot facility with indoor and outdoor attractions near E-470 and Cottonwood
Drive in Crown Point. Town council approved a use-by-special-review application in June 2014. Internal uses include a 32-lane bowling alley, arcade game center, laser tag, XD theater, restaurant and event center with meeting rooms. Exterior uses include a go-kart track, miniature golf course and bumper boat pool. The company is “hoping to start moving dirt in next few weeks,” said Randy Fullmer, chief executive officer of Boondocks Properties. If all applications are approved, he said, the structure will go up next spring, with Boondocks ideally opening in fall 2016. Gander Mountain Gander Mountain, a network of outdoor specialty stores, announced it will open its newest location in Parker in spring 2016. The company requested and received a sales tax-incentive package worth $700,000 from the Town of Parker earlier this year.
King Soopers The demolition of a long-vacant King Soopers store last fall and redevelopment of the site at the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive have been welcomed by surrounding homeowners. King Soopers is bringing its “MarketPlace” concept to the location and plans to open around Thanksgiving. The 123,400-square-foot store will sell groceries and general retail, and include a Fred Meyers jewelry store, Starbucks and

Vantage Point A proposed mixed-use project on the northeast corner of Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive was sold by the Shopoff Group to Alliance Residential earlier this year. The original owners asked the town last year to overhaul an original plan, scaling down commercial development to make room for apartments. The last plan included 40,000 square feet of commercial uses and 900 apartment units on the site’s 46 acres. However, it is unclear whether the size and scope of the Vantage Point development will change. A representative for Alliance Residential did not respond to emails seeking an update.

“We are excited that Rob will be leading South Suburban to the next level of greatness,” said John Ostermiller, board president. “Rob is a solid performer and has proven himself to be a dedicated leader who works exceptionally well with partners and agencies. He’s a collaborator and is responsible for creating an open environment that has contributed to high levels of community engagement.” Hanna has 17 years of park and recreation experience. He is a certified parks and recreation professional and a registered landscape architect. He holds a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from Texas
Tech University. “I graduated on a Saturday, and I started working in Colorado on Monday,” he said. “I always wanted to live here. What’s not to love about Colorado? Its weather, and the emphasis the community puts on parks and recreation — why wouldn’t I want to be a part of that?” Hanna lives in Castle Pines North with his wife, Jenny, who is a Columbine High School graduate. Ironically, their wedding reception was at Lone Tree Golf Club, and their rehearsal dinner was at Northwoods Inn, now SSPR’s Hudson Gardens.

Other than that, Hanna hasn’t seen much that needs changed about the district. “It just needs some strong leadership that can take a good organization and make it a great organization,” he said. “The last step from good to great is really the most difficult. It takes support from leadership to make sure the staff is confident enough to come up with new ideas. If you don’t try new things, you’ll never push that envelope to stand out. … My leadership philosophy is inclusiveness, openness and support of the staff. I encourage everybody to contribute to the discussion and the decisions.”

LITTLE DOGS HAVE THEIR DAY Dachtober Fest was no place for the big dogs. No, the Sept. 26 event at Progress Park in Littleton was for the cute little pups, like dachshunds and other small breeds. The dogs competed in contests and races, like the Doxie Dash, while humans ate, drank and shopped. Proceeds from the event went to Wyoming Dachshund & Corgi Rescue and other small-breed rescue groups.

Water in spotlight for local students Treatment plant is venue for schools’ field trip
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Excited laughter and conversations among young voices created a different atmosphere at the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant as more than 500 students from Englewood, Littleton and Denver made a field trip there for World Water Day activities. “We have expanded the event this year and have more students attending it,” said Brenda Varner, plant employee and event coordinator. “We have gotten help in expanding the event from a number of agencies that are providing volunteers and displays. Each school’s student group is scheduled to visit every station. The stations provide the opportunity to check out displays, listen to presentations and do hands-on activities. I am sure one of the more popular hand-on activities will be at the booth where each student can create a special T-shirt.” She said the school groups arrived at different times Sept. 23. Each group then followed a schedule from station to station. Sixth-graders from Littleton Preparatory Charter School took part in the event. At one of the tour stations, Lily Stinton and other Littleton Prep students were divided into small groups and ran a number of tests on water from the South Platte River. “I am learning a lot of things I didn’t know about water,” Stinton said. “I am learning about what has to be done to water so it is safe for us to drink. I am glad I came today.” . Rima Garkow, mother of a Littleton Prep student, attended the event and she said she felt it was a very informative field trip for the students. “I feel it helps our student have a better understanding of what untreated

people can have on the environment.” A short distance away, students from Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice were looking over some of the displays. Teacher Sarah Cramer said the field trip was part of the Colorado’s Finest STEM program and provided the students with good information and handon experiences with water. Shy Clanton, a Colorado’s Finest student, agreed. “I think it is fun getting to see and learn about where our water comes from

and what it is used for,” she said. “We learned about the treatment of sewer water and we learned about how drinking water is purified.” Fellow student Charles Childers said it was fun testing river water. “The water looks OK when you have it in the flask,” he said. “Then with the tests and the displays you learn about all the stuff that is in the river and in the river water. I didn’t know much about the river and the water in it so it is cool to learn about those things.”

Attracted by jobs, many remain for quality of life By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A cricket club in Littleton. Markets that sell ethnic Asian Indian foods in Lone Tree. A new Hindu temple in Centennial. The growing population of Asian Indians is changing the ethnic makeup of communities in the south metro area. “I used to kind of be the odd man out in the store,” said Murali Anakavur, who moved to Lakewood in 1995 and now lives in Littleton. “Not anymore.” Although not staggering, the statistics don’t lie: There were 2,942 people of Indian descent in Arapahoe County in 2008; that number climbed to 6,701 last year, according to the State Demography Office. The population of Asian Indians, as they are categorized in the U.S. Census, more than doubled in Douglas County from 2012 to 2014. Census data from 2008-14 shows a “statistically significant” population increase in south metro Denver and across the state, said Rob Kemp, estimates demographer for Colorado’s demography office. However, year-over-year figures are nominal and Asian Indians in Arapahoe and Douglas counties account for only about 1 to 2 percent of the total population. But the change has been especially noticeable, at least in part, because of the high percentage of Caucasians in the area. “In a place so dominated by one racial group, like especially in Douglas County, it might theoretically look like more because there are not a lot of racial groups,” Kemp said. Welcome to America Another indicator of the burgeoning community of Indian immigrants arrived in the form of a new Hindu temple on Potomac Street in Centennial. The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of the Rockies, which opened with a lavish, four-day ceremony in June, was built “to meet the needs of growing Indian population,” its website says. More than 1,500 families regularly attend services at the temple. Several Indian grocery markets have opened up shop, with one each in Centennial and Greenwood Village, and two in Lone Tree. One of the stores in Lone Tree is the popular Mythri Indian Groceries on Forsstrom Drive. Business was a little slow in the first two months after the shop opened in January at the end of a strip mall, but picked up considerably once word got around. Now, there are sometimes lines on Thursdays

Source: U.S. Census Bureau and Sundays, when shipments of fresh produce come in. The store has 30-40 members and caters to Indians and nonIndians alike. Owned by four partners, including Satya Chigurupati and Suresh Bejawada, the grocery store carries products familiar to Indians. Bejawada, a 25-year-old who moved to the United States in 2009 to pursue a master’s degree in electrical engineering, says the decision to open in Lone Tree was based on its proximity to employers and the light rail system. Denver’s community of “desis,” a common term for people from South Asia who live abroad, boasts multiple associations and clubs. One of the more popular activities is cricket, and the best team in Colorado happens to be based in Littleton. The Littleton Cricket Club — founded in 1994 — now has three teams due to demand. It plays matches on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer in Cornerstone Park on the Littleton/Englewood border and Challenger Park in Parker. On a recent sunny afternoon at Cornerstone Park, one of the few available cricket grounds in the Denver area, club president Ramesh Appat watched the final match before playoffs. He points out the Littleton Lions are going for their fourth consecutive state championship. Cricket, an Indian pasttime similar to America’s connection with baseball, is a perfect way to unwind while sharing a cultural experience and bonding. Many players have families and 9-to-5 jobs, the latter of which precipitated the transcontinental relocation for the majority, said Appat, who himself came to the Unites States in 1998 for a job opportunity. “We have IT folks; we have doctors,” the 44-year-old Parker resident said. “It’s a mixture, but primarily information technology,
Suresh Bejawada, 25, who co-owns Mythri Indian Groceries with three other people, shows off the produce section Sept. 25. Vegetables are the hottest-selling items. which has been the main attraction for immigrants coming from southeast Asia.” Many in the south metro area have found employment with firms based in the Denver Technological Center, Inverness Business Park and Meridian International Business Center. Housing data from Douglas County Demographic Program analyst Nancy Gedeon shows a high percentage of Asian Indians live in the far northern tier of the county, in close proximity to employment centers. The decision to stay Lucrative, one- or two-year contracts with tech firms are, in some cases, what draw Asian Indians to Colorado. But the lifestyle and open space are a convincing
reason to stay. Anakavur, the Littleton resident, moved to the U.S. at the age of 30, and although it was an adjustment for his wife, Anakavur fell in love with Colorado almost immediately. There was an abundance of attractive attributes: a beautiful landscape, nearperfect weather, community safety, a manageable commute, “quietness” and the people. Plenty of job options and outdoor activities, such as tennis and hiking, drew in Anakavur, who also works in the tech industry. “I’ve never looked back since and came to love it here,” the 52-year-old said. “It’s my home.”

A new decade (with a little help from my friends) I turned 30 a couple weeks ago. A big one. Or so everyone tells me. Personally, I’ve always found the significance of certain birthdays a reflection of social constructs placed on us by society. So hitting 30 or 50 — or whatever — is only going to hit as hard as you let it. Or maybe I’m just getting grumpy in my old age. In either case, I spent the bulk of my birthday in a car driving through California’s ancient Redwood forests with my parents and brother — and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to make turning 30 seem like a minor achievement. I was so pleased to share it with my family. But I couldn’t help missing my friends on the occasion, especially when LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends” came up in the mix. For those unfamiliar with the song, it’s the best of the 21st century thus far, especially for people of my generation coming into adulthood. The song tracks the attempts of singer/songwriter James Murphy (who was 37 at the time he wrote it) to stay in touch with friends as he drags himself into middle age. It’s chockful of dry and melancholy observations about the effort it takes to keep up with friends as responsibilities of maturity and family take a bigger toll. Structurally, “All My Friends” is a 7 1/2-minute build to a catharsis that never quite comes — if that’s not a metaphor for life, I’m not sure what is. The song starts out with a repeated plunking piano line and expands as each new instrument joins the fray. By the end, everyone’s instruments are louder and bigger - a sonic way of shouting to the void: “Do your worst!” On a musical level alone, the thing is a wonder.
Clarke Reader
LINER NOTES
When you add the lyrics, the song becomes a classic. The aches and loneliness of aging are chronicled beautifully as Murphy talks about throwing just one more great party for the people he loves. “You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan/And the next five years trying to be with your friends again,” capture the sacrifices we often make along the way, and how difficult it can be to regain what was lost. Murphy also invokes feelings of gratitude for the people who are always there for you, no matter what happens: “And if I made a fool, if I made a
fool, if I made a fool On the road, there’s always this. And if I’m sued into submission, I can still come home to this.” The lyrics that stick with me the most are simple and direct: “I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision/For another five years of life.” In these words, I hear all the nights you never want to end, moments just sitting around, talking or running through the streets, laughing your head off on the way to the next stop. I hear my friends in those words, and how much I miss them, since we don’t see each other as often as we would like. I’m getting sentimental as I get older, but I’m OK with
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Ryan Adam’s 1989, released on Pax-Am Records. Review: Adams covered Taylor Swift’s pop manifesto in its entirety, tapping into the moodiness of Bruce Springsteen and The Smiths in the process. His version highlights how bulletproof Swift’s work remains. Favorite song: “I Wish You Would” Favorite re-worked lyric: “You’ve got that Daydream Nation look in your eye,/ I got that pent up love thing that you like.” - “Style”
that. At the start of a new year, a new decade, there’s really only one question I have, and it’s the same one as Murphy: Where are my friends tonight?

chee.com. Trillium is no more Chef Ryan Leinonen, who opened Trillium, an award-winning Scandinavian eatery, in December 2011, recently closed the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant. “It’s time to move on from Trillium and explore new opportunities,” said Leinonen, a Michigan native whose culinary career spans more than two decades of Penny Parker accomplishments, including working at Denver’s Colt & Gray, Root Down, MILE HIGH The Kitchen and Q’s (now Spruce) in LIFE Boulder. “I was living my dream, and I had a ton of fun doing it, plus I won a lot of awesome awards, cooked at the James Beard House and pushed myself — more than I ever thought possible — to achieve success during Trillium’s five-year run,” Leinonen said. ”I’ve worked with some absolutely amazing people — people who helped my dream of opening my own restaurant come to fruition — and they’ve all enriched my life more than they’ll ever know. I hope they learned as much from me as I learned from them.” Leinonen, whose life was recently graced by the arrival of his second daughter, plans to revel in fatherhood. “I’ve been working nonstop for the past several years, so I’m going to take a few months off to stay at home and enjoy some much-needed time with my wonderful wife and daughters,” he said. Still, while he’s happy to relax for a bit, the next chapter, he said, will definitely involve a professional kitchen and perhaps another restaurant that he owns and operates. “The opportunities for me are endless, and the best is yet to come.” For more information, contact Leinonen at ryan@trilliumdenver.com. CU grad wins Emmy University of Colorado-Denver College of Arts & Media alumnus Tim Kimmel won a Emmy Award for “Outstanding Sound Editing” on the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” Kimmel was the supervising sound editor. This was his fourth nomination and first victory. “Tim Kimmel’s success and achievements are a reflection of skills, talents and abilities that have placed him at the forefront of his craft,” AM Dean Laurene Kaptain said. “The students, faculty and staff of the College of Arts & Media at CU Denver are inspired by his successes and proud of his accomplishments. We are very proud of Tim’s Emmy Award
and look forward to following his career as he continues his trajectory as a creative leader in Hollywood’s film and television industry.” Kimmel is a graduate of CAM’s Music Entertainment and Industries Studies program with an emphasis in recording arts. Two iconic eateries close Two decades-old Denver restaurants have left the dining landscape: Las Delicias on 19th Avenue and The Egg Shell in Cherry Creek North. Las Delicias, a 40-year-old fixture at 439 E. 19th Ave. shuttered abruptly last week with a note on the door and its website saying it was “closing for remodeling,” and would reopen next spring. Westword, however, which first reported the closing, speculates that the iconic eatery may remain closed due to the loss of the parking lot across the street. The parking lot is being transformed into a large residential and retail development, and the loss of the lot made parking in the popular Uptown neighborhood “challenging.” Whether the original location reopens, Las Delicias continues to operate four other outposts throughout the metro area. Meanwhile, The Egg Shell, a 30-year presence in Cherry Creek North, shuttered the 235 Fillmore St. spot on Sept. 27. Owner Peggy Bevan told Eater Denver that she has been scouting other locations. Harvest Week returns Harvest Week, the epitome of an independent restaurant collaboration, returns for the 2015 edition Oct. 4-9. Dinners (and a brunch) will take place all week long. Each night a group of five-plus restaurants will come together to create pop-up parties at the GrowHaus, a nonprofit indoor farm at 4751 York St. Every day includes a full bar and lots of food. All the festivities support EatDenver, a consortium of independently owned restaurants, and the Growhaus. For more information, go to www.harvestweek.com.

College magazine grabs top award Progenitor publishes work of talented ACC students By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “First Place with Special Merit” said the award won by Arapahoe Community College’s striking Progenitor Art and Literary Magazine for 2015. The award was from the American Scholastic Press Association’s annual magazine competition. It quoted a judge: “Progenitor is an amazing publication! Not only have you mastered the basic elements of a good magazine … but you have also published excellent works from your school population. Progenitor is a model for those up and coming and an inspiration for those magazines that haven’t quite aced the necessary skills.” ACC student John Whatley earned an Outstanding Photograph award for his “The Visitor,” which appeared on Page 61. Whatley was selected Student of the Year in December 2014, with a 3.92 GPA, a focus on chemistry and biology courses, and the honor of serving as commencement speaker at rites held that month.

Art museum gains new curators Denver icon adds staff with endowments’ help By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com As a busy autumn season kicks off at the Denver Art Museum, three new curators have joined the museum staff. Each brings special skills to share with area arts lovers and each position is endowed by special donations. • Tianlong Jiao is the Joseph de Heer Curator of Asian Art and comes from the Asian Art Museum of Hart San Francisco, where he was department head and curator of Chinese art. Dr. Tianlong will oversee the DAM’s Asian collection, which includes objects from China, India, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, Tibet and Nepal. In the past 10 years, Tianlong has curated six international traveling exhibitions presenting jades, sculptures, textiles, photography, paintings, maps and ceramics from China and the Pacific Rim. He holds a Ph.D. in archaeology from Harvard and a master of arts from Chinese Academy of the Social Sciences. “He has built his career on presenting the stories behind objects and the seamless connection between art and artifact,” according to museum publicists. He says he looks forward to working with the museum’s broad collection of ancient and contemporary Asian art in future programming. • Rebecca R. Hart is named the Polly and Mark Addison Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. For the past 10 years,

she has been curator of contemporary art at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The DAM has built a broad-based modern and contemporary collection, which she will oversee in collaboration with Curator of Modern Art Gwen Chanzit. Hart spoke of a special interest in partnering with the Hispanic community after previous experience in Detroit, the Miami area and in Oaxaca, Mexico. She looks forward to working with the active museum staff — and to a view of the High Plains and the Rockies. • Florence Muller will serve as Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art, Curator of Fashion. She has been an independent curator in France, with contributions to more than 100 exhibitions worldwide, including the stunning 2012 “Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective,” which drew big crowds at the DAM, the only U.S. venue for the exhibit. She will oversee the existing textile collection and develop a strategic approach to expanding the museum’s holdings in costume and fashion of the 20th and 21st centuries. “It’s a perfect chance to express how textile and fashion are essential actors of our contemporary culture and further understand the history of civilizations,” she said. Watch for announcements of new exhibits as this versatile trio settles in to Denver’s active arts scene.

Environmental activist’s novel is set in Maine Latest from Bond is thriller with focus on corruption
Author Mike Bond will soon return to his Littleton home and will be appearing to discuss his latest thriller. Courtesy photo
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike Bond, a Maine native who lives in Roxborough (as well as Maine and Hawaii), has, as a journalist, covered environmental issues worldwide and war and politics in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. He has been, and is, an environmental activist and is very much distressed by the growth of wind farms in Maine, where his family has lived since the 1600s. “Killing Maine,” recently published, is set in his home state. He writes a complicated tale of bribery, corrupt politicians with influence over environmental groups — and the intense focus of Special Forces veteran/internationally known surfer Pono Hawkins, who knows how to operate in dangerous circumstances — and with interesting women. (We first met Pono in “Saving Paradise,” set in Hawaii, where similar issues affect the beauty of a special place, and assassins awaited in the shadows.) This is Bond’s sixth book and earlier ones are set in the Middle East, Guatemala, Africa — each with an underlying concern about nature and the politics that drive leaders to action. The author is described by his publisher as the master of the socially conscious thriller. “Killing Maine,” called an existential thriller, has Hawkins charging into one messy situation after another and ends the story with a funny dilemma that could go a number of directions if there were more pages. Pono heads to Maine to aid his former Special Forces buddy, Bucky Franklin, who is in jail, accused of murdering an environmentalist. Hawkins is greeted with gunfire on his first excursion into the woods and is almost always feeling threatened and edgy. Bucky’s wife, who called for help, is also a former lover — one of many. And Hawkins takes up with Abigail, the murder victim’s widow. Bond describes the beautiful woods and mountains, coated with snow, temperatures well below freezing. It’s invaded by a noisy wind farms that don’t really function well and destroy property values — and residents’ treasured peace and quiet. They have come about through corruption that riddles the state’s political structure.
The book cover of Littleton author Mike Bond’s new thriller, “Killing Maine.” Courtesy image Winter is almost an additional character as Pono moves through frigid, rough territory, ducking bullets and hiding from threatening villains, as he keeps Bucky’s old green Kawasaki snowmobile operating. It’s obviously very familiar territory for Bond, one he truly treasures. Although in a phone conversation, he also waxed eloquent about the beauty of the Roxborough area where his home is located — and its wildlife and threats to that area.
As Hawkins roams through Maine, he occasionally stops at Stroudwater Graveyard to give the relatives an update — a clever way of keeping the reader in the loop through a convoluted tale. His characters and locations are clearly described, so the reader has an ongoing mental picture (the movie in your head?) and the dialogue reflects Maine colloquialisms. He connects with people at colorful spots like Three Dollar Dewey’s in Portland, where he meets a woman lawyer. There’s a brief sequence in Hawaii as he visits with and philosophizes with his terminally ill father, who is also a unique character. Dad plans to sail off into the sunset. Today’s technology comes online as he asks his island friend, Mitchell, to run down information about Maine police operations and legislators, when local types are stonewalling him. And then, Abigail goes missing to further complicate the picture … Bond’s book is available at the Tattered Cover, and when he returns to the area, he will set up a time to meet readers and talk about his new book, as well as his multifaceted life and interests.

together speakers, music, videos and entertainment and a product-and-services exposition. Topics to be discussed include improving health and vitality, exploring second and third careers, and “un-retirement” and resiliency in a rapidly-changing world. Just a few of the international bestselling authors and experts scheduled to speak include Joan Borysenko, Mark Nepo, Amit Goswami, Dannion and Kathryn Brinkley, Carol Flake, Nathan Crane, Howard Martin, Kelly Sullivan Walden, Chris Farrell, Marilyn Schlitz, Dr. Norm Shealy and Randy Hayes. “We’ve been trying this kind of event out in different places trying to get it right,” Cappannelli said. “We want to bring the best wisdom-keepers we can to people and make it as accessible for them as possible.”
As a filmmaker and co-producer of the conference, Crane will be discussing his passion for sustainability, both on a personal and grander level. “I’ve done a lot of work in the health and healing areas, which lead to my present commitment to sustainability,” he explained. “I want to speak to people about sustainability of health, of peace, of mind, of the community and of the planet.” After participating in several similar events, Crane said the best part is seeing the way people’s lives change based on the information they receive. “The way people come up to you afterwards, and they’re so cheerful and positive — it’s amazing,” he said. “There’s nothing more powerful than a bunch of people coming together to improve their lives and the lives of others.”

How can we strengthen our communities? Garcia spoke of the staggering numbers of people that have enrolled in college and completed courses, but never earned a degree. There is an opportunity here. A bigger push for non-traditional campuses and online and evening courses could mean re-enrollment for those previous attendees to
finish their degree. And in alignment with staggering numbers, Andy Carlson, Sr. Policy Analyst for the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO), delivered an informative presentation on trends in state higher education funding for Colorado and the Nation. Final comments for the meeting were from Jeff Wasden, President of Colorado Business Roundtable/ Chair, Public Policy, for the Chamber. The Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Government (BLRG) group meets monthly, and is in alignment with the South Metro Denver Chamber’s key strategic priority for public policy.

Event celebrates Sheridan
October 2, 2015
Annual event includes parade, vendors and inflatables By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Music was the theme of this year’s Sheridan Celebrates event, and there was plenty of music including a pipe band, a rock band and members of the Arapahoe Philharmonic. Vendors and displays created midway-like areas on the lawn of Sheridan’s City Hall. There were booths offering information about organizations like South Suburban Parks and Recreation Department, booths staffed by political candidates and their supporters, plus vendors selling a wide variety of craft items. The parade stepped off at 10 a.m. and wound its way to the City Hall area. The parade celebrated Sheridan. There were marching groups from Sheridan High School athletic teams, equestrians, floats, and representatives of a number of area organizations and groups. Duane VanVleet, a 1956 Sheridan High School graduate, said he always tries to come to the Sheridan Celebrates event. “I was born at Fort Logan, and I have lived in Sheridan all my life except for the four years I spent in the Navy,” he said as he watched the parade pass by. “Sheridan has changed a lot over the years.” He said he misses some of the things that are now gone like Centennial Race Track, Englewood Speedway, the small farms that used to be in the area, and the large turkey farm in the northern part of Sheridan. “There are some things that have gone away over the years. They are now just memories,” he said. “But some good things have happened in our city. We have a nice city hall, Federal now is a main road, and Sheridan Celebrates and its parade continue to get better every year.”

‘The Intern’ has whole lot of niceness going on By Lindsey Bahr Associated Press

OCTOBER 2015
The world of Nancy Meyers sure is beautiful. But her studied production design and dreamy interiors have become such a focal point that they’ve almost eclipsed her storytelling. It marginalizes what she does, and how she has, from “The Parent Trap” to “It’s Complicated,” created her own lovely and implausible cottage industry of movies that are, for the most part, exceedingly pleasant to watch. She tells stories about divorce, affairs and later-life loves, using wit and humor that is somehow blue and sassy, but also innocent. Meyers is one of the more retro writer-directors working today. “The Intern,” her first film in six years, is a curious case, melding together those modern retro sensibilities in a way that even further distances her work from reality. This is not a love story, though. It’s a workplace tale about a smiley, unflappable 70-year-old retiree Ben (Robert De Niro) who goes to intern for the 30-something CEO of an online retail startup. With only the most polite issues peppering the plot, it’s less a study of generational conflict and more of a series of loosely connected events about a guardian angel sent out of retirement to tell Anne Hathaway that she really can have it all. Ben’s adjustment to working with all these kids might be the hook, but Jules Ostin (Hathaway) is the centerpiece and heart of the movie. In the past year and a half, she has built an insanely successful clothing business from the ground up and is now juggling a kid, her relationship with her stay-at-home husband, and a board of directors who want to replace her with a more seasoned CEO. She has her quirks, but Jules is neither the prototypical cutesy, clumsy comedy heroine nor the passionless executive who just needs to loosen up. In fact, Jules isn’t a type at all. Hathaway plays her as serious,
wise, playful and insecure. Every time you think she might descend into caricature, Hathaway pulls back and grounds Jules. Her unusually developed character has the somewhat adverse effect of exaggerating Ben’s one-note, but charming simplicity. Ben spent his entire career at a factory that made phone books. He was married, now he’s widowed, retired and bored of it. De Niro plays him as so nice and so cuddly that he’s almost alien. He is the grandpa from “Up” without the edge, here to tell millennial men to stop dressing like little boys, to carry handkerchiefs because ladies cry, to stay at work until the boss leaves, and to talk to, not text, romantic prospects. Beyond a flirtation with the office masseuse (Rene Russo), Ben has nowhere to grow. He’s set in his perfectly PC retromodern ways, just there to help everyone — especially Jules. It’s an odd relationship with few actual revelations. That’s because there’s no big conflict. Jules says she doesn’t really like old people, and at one point worries that Ben knows too much about her, but those all dissolve without much ceremony. There are of course some other issues that Jules and Ben must deal with, but even those are minor. Nothing is ever that wrong in the Meyers-verse. It might not be a life you recognize from reality, but is the one that we fantasize about thanks to magazines and movies like this. It can be cloying at times, but the disconnected timelessness of it all is all the more reason for Meyers to keep doing her own thing as long as she can. She doesn’t speak to what’s trendy in filmmaking. Aside from the technology, “The Intern” could have just as easily existed in 1990. Still, in keeping everything so polite, “The Intern,” while being a pleasant and watchable movie, is also entirely ephemeral. Maybe that’s why, like Meyers’ other films, “The Intern” will likely be so re-watchable, too.

Trainers keep athletes moving
One of the most important team members works from sidelines
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
If it hadn’t been for an athletic trainer, Josh Boatright would most likely be dead. But thanks to Piper Thompson’s knowledge and gut instinct, the Legend High School senior saw a doctor who diagnosed a heart condition corrected by surgery. And today, he’s playing on the defensive line for the Titans’ football team. “I can’t give her enough praise,” Boatright’s mother, LeAnne, said of Thompson. “I love her because she saved my son’s life.” Thompson is an example of how high school athletic trainers have become more knowledgeable and respected. All are certified and nearly 70 percent have master’s degrees. Injury prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation are some duties, but trainers also follow up on concussions, monitor the weather, make sure water is available, help determine whether athletes can return to play and often provide referrals to outside doctors or specialists. “Athletic training is really a lot more involved in education, and the skill set is much higher than people really understand,” said Bridget Younger of Children’s Hospital Colorado Sports Medicine program. Trainers’ roles vary by school district. Douglas County School District hires its own athletic trainers but contracts with Children’s for assistant trainers. Adams 12 employs head trainers from Children’s. Jefferson County and Elizabeth hire from Panorama Orthopedics and Spine Center in Golden. Littleton Public Schools uses trainers from Physiotherapy Associates of Greenwood Village. Two schools in the Cherry Creek school district hire trainers from Rocky Mountain Youth Hospital, and others employ trainers who are also certified teachers. Head trainers have to monitor practices, attend as many events as possible — especially football games — and make sure each activity for their school is covered by a trainer from one of the schools competing.
“There is a lot going on,” said Chris Matthewson, who has been Ponderosa’s trainer for 23 years. “We just try to be in the middle of it.” Lindsay Anderson, the head trainer at Ralston Valley, noted that times have changed. “Sometimes just taping people up is what our profession is known for because we are good at that, but that’s just a piece of what we do,” Anderson said. “The athletic training profession in general has been fighting to be seen as medical professionals and not just somebody that hands out Band-Aids and does basic first aid. Our knowledge is a lot deeper than that.” Advancements in technology and science mean treatments for injuries are constantly changing. “There’s a little bit of change every year,” Anderson said. “There is some new science out telling us how we should be treating athletes to give them optimal care.” Matthewson also has seen the job evolve over the years, particularly with concussions. “We’ve always taken concussions seriously, but we have much better management mainly because people know it and understand it,” he said. “One of the biggest changes is I’m doing more of the rehab in the post-surgical care because health care has gotten to where you have surgery, three or four visits with the PT and then they say off you go. We do a lot of that and kids love it because they get to stay with friends and teammates and not get shipped off to a physical therapist.” Trainers also have a say about when an athlete can resume play. Sometimes, before making the decision, they consult with coaches and parents. “Even if a kid comes to me with a doctor’s note and the doctor’s note says he or she can play but I’m not comfortable with that, I can always be more conservative than the doctor’s notes and even be more aggressive,” said Thompson. “If I’m not comfortable, we have a policy set up with our district that allows for us to say, ‘No, I’m sorry, you are not ready to play yet.’” Many schools get help from high school students who obtain clinical hours working with trainers. The students learn skills required to be an athletic trainer and perform duties like retrieving water and hot packs to
Legend player has life-saving heart surgery Titans’ athletic trainer suspected problem By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Senior Josh Boatright collapsed during a Legend High School preseason workout in July. He recovered, and following a team meeting, approached Titans athletic trainer Piper Thompson because his heart was still beating fast. Thompson suspected something was wrong. She called Boatright’s parents and said their son needed to be referred for treatment. Four days later, Boatright underwent heart surgery after being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a rare condition caused by an extra path between the heart’s upper and lower chambers that causes the heart to beat rapidly. During the follow-up appointment, LeAnne Boatright said, “the cardiologist looked at my son and said, ‘You need to thank your athletic trainer because she saved your life. After reviewing all the scans and all the tests we did on you, you had maybe one or two more practices and you would have been dead.’ He said that’s how serious his heart was.” Thompson, a graduate of Douglas County High School, has been the head trainer at Legend since 2008. She has a bachelor’s in sports and exercise science from the University of Northern Colorado. She will be honored for her life-saving actions at the Oct. 20 Douglas County school board meeting. At the summer workout, Thompson knew it was time to suggest Boatright consult an expert.
help trainers. Heritage High School trainer Rhiannon Oberto worked at Valparaiso and Kent State but prefers the high school level. “I’m really impressed with high school trainers,” she said. “I guess I did not realize
Legend senior Josh Boatright had surgery after a July heart episode and is back playing this year. Photo byJim Benton “His heart was racing real bad and (he) felt like it was beating out of his chest. Something wasn’t right,” she said. “We recognized it, got help and referred him to whom we had to refer him to.” The 6-foot-1, 288-pound Boatright, who has moved from center to defensive line this season, is on heart medication. He has additional surgery scheduled after the season. “The surgery was supposed to be an hour, two hours tops,” recalled LeAnne. “My son was on the table for seven hours. His heart started swelling so they had to stop the procedure. So we go back in December, clean everything up and finish up the last 60 percent.” Boatright said he feels fortunate to be playing football. “I’m glad Piper was there,” he said. “I’m very blessed.”
how much more they have to do. I’m not discrediting a university athletic trainer, but they have a huge support system because there are a whole bunch of them in one facility. Here, right now, it’s just me. I love this atmosphere a lot better.”

Warriors win clash with Eagles Arapahoe defeats rival Heritage 2-1 in nonleague soccer game By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage scored first but Arapahoe responded with two goals to win the Sept. 26 non-league soccer game between the two rivals. “This is a crosstown rivalry for us and it was a good soccer game,” Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire said after the game. “Hats off to coach (Adam) Buseck because he always has his guys ready to play. That was true today in what was a true hotly contested rivalry game.” Buseck said his team started off the game strong with a lot of pressure. “Give credit to Arapahoe, they worked well on their set plays, scoring two goals,” he said. “Their defense was stout and, credit to them, they played well so from it became a defensive struggle for the rest of the game.” Key moments All the scoring came early. Heritage struck first as Dylan Keeney scored on a line-drive shot from left side of the field about 35 yards from the goal. The lead held up until, a few minutes later, Arapahoe’s Trevor Young sent a free kick from about the 45-yard line toward the mouth of the goal. Defenders and attackers battled for position but Chris Grauberger jumped high and headed the ball into the net. It was almost a carbon-copy play when Arapahoe took the lead for good. Again, Young sent a long looping free kick to the area in front of the goal. This time it was teammate Max Gueller who put a head shot into the goal with about 20 minutes remaining in the first half. The remaining 60 minutes of play was a strong defensive clash. When one team took possession of the ball and started an attack, the other team set up to keep the ball out of the net.
Arapahoe’s Sam Norman (2) kicks the ball away from Jack Tater (4) of Heritage during the Sept. 26 boys soccer game. The game was highlighted by strong defensive play by both teams as the Warriors won 2-1. Photos by Tom Munds Key players/statistics Both teams played well, particularly defensively. According to the reported statistics, Arapahoe took eight shots on goal while Heritage took 14. Arapahoe goalie James Conely had one goal scored against him and he was credited with five saves. He currently is among the leaders in the Centennial League with 55 saves this season. At the other end of the field, Jack Schulze was in goal for the Eagles He also made five saves. He is the current save leader for the Continental League with 62. They said it Conley praised his team’s defense. “The defense in front of me, they stayed in front of the ball and kept the ball away from the goal,” he said. “I really didn’t have much work to do because the only real good shot they made

was the one that scored their goal.” Heritage’s Max Milliman talked about the play on the field. “This was a game that shows us as a team we have progressed but, at the same time, it showed us there is so much more we can give each other,” he said. “In this game, we got down by a goal and we never really got back playing our style of soccer.” Buseck said the Eagles will learn from this game as they prepare to head into league play against good opponents. “We have a strong senior group and we saw today there are some of our guys who need to step up,” he said. “They have been providing good leadership so far but didn’t do that as well today. We need to get back to those seniors providing that strong leadership for our team.” Hampshire said it was a physical
game. “Playing physical is everyone’s style in a high-stakes game like this,” he said. “It is physical but it was fair as both teams just played very hard so you know there will be contact in that kind of game.” Going forward Arapahoe improved to 5-1-2 overall and carried a 1-0 mark in league play. The Warriors continue league play on the road Oct. 6 at Overland and return home Oct. 8 against Smoky Hill. Heritage fell to 4-3 overall, with a 3-0 record in the league. The Eagles are in the heart of league play as, on Oct. 3, they will play ThunderRidge at Littleton Public Schools Stadium and, on Oct. 6, the Eagles will be on their home field against Regis.

Coach’s health scare brings perspective Valor Christian assistant softball coach Tony Lopez is looking good patrolling the first-base coaching box while encouraging base runners and batters. It was a little over a year ago when Lopez had a heart attack while teams from Valor and Wheat Ridge were warming up. Lopez, the 62-year-old who was the head coach for 12 seasons at Mullen before moving to Valor, recovered enough to be with the Eagles when the team won the Class 4A state title last October. “My heart stopped,” said Lopez. “It was quite an awakening and a pretty scary thing. It makes you put things in perspective. It made me feel like I had to rest more and eat right. I’m doing good now. I’m still not 100 percent but I’m getting better.” What’s in a name? If a great name could make a difference, Chaparral freshman Tyler Mulligan will be
a contender at the Class 5A state golf tournament Oct. 5 and 6 in Fort Collins. Mulligan is the word for an extra stroke that is allowed after a poor shot and is not counted on the scorecard. There are no mulligans in Jim Benton competitive golf, it should be noted. OVERTIME “The grownups get more of a kick out of his name that the kids do,” said Chaparral coach Mark Stevens. “The kids don’t pay any attention to it. Whenever an adult sees his name on a score sheet, they say what a perfect name for a golfer. Bottom line is he doesn’t need any mulligans. He was our low qualifier at
the regionals. He’s the real deal.”
Coming up big on extra points Legend’s Carli Meis looks out of place on the sidelines looking up at bigger and taller teammates. Once she lines up for an extra point kick, nobody notices her size. The 5-foot-1 senior had a background in soccer but abandoned the sport to play lacrosse. She is the Titans’ varsity kicker for extra points this season. Legend coach Robert Doyle says Meis has been one of the school’s most accurate PAT kickers as evidenced by her making seven of eight attempts this season. Her one miss was blocked. Making their coach proud Five Douglas County softball players have dates for the homecoming dance on Oct. 3.
Smart play formula for good scores State golf tournaments scheduled at three venues By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Smart golf could be the winning formula for individuals and teams competing in the upcoming Colorado state high school boys golf tournaments. The three state tournaments will be held Oct. 5-6 with Class 5A golfers playing at the tree-lined Fort Collins Country Club. Valor Christian will open defense of its Class 4A title at Longmont’s Fox Hill Country, while the 3A state competition is set for Eagle Ranch in Eagle. It will take smart golf of hitting fairways, avoiding shots that are too aggressive and playing well along
and on the greens to be among the leaders. “For us it’s about hitting fairways and hitting greens and eliminating three putts,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Baker, whose team won the Southern regional. “When we play like that we are really good. “They’re growing up. We’re playing smart golf. We’ve been up there (Fort Collins Country Club) a couple times. It’s the kind of course we can play pretty well on. It’s just a good test of golf.” Teams that finished first or second in the four regional tournaments qualified four-player teams but only the top three scores for each school count in team standings. Schools that qualified three players, like defending Class 5A champion Coronado, can also compete for the team title. Regis Jesuit, Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Fossil Ridge, Arapa-
hoe, Rock Canyon, Heritage and Lakewood qualified four-man teams. Regis, which has won four of the past five state titles, is favored. “There’ll be some amazing golf that goes on,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner. Tournaments during the regular season and the regionals are one-day events but golfers at the state tournament will play 36 holes. “It’s going to separate the one kid that maybe has a really good round and make sure you don’t have that one round that wins the tournament,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “They have to play both days and that makes it that much harder.” In Class 4A, Valor Christian won the Metro regional by one shot over Evergreen but the Eagles have the experience in state tournaments. Valor has won five of the past six 4A titles.
Hanna Storey, Abbey Montoya, Ashlyn Dzialo, Katelyn Dain and Emily Zimmerer invited five special-needs students and will be taking them to the dance. “Softball doesn’t really matter now because I’m so proud of them because of the people they are,” said Huskies coach Brian Stebbins.
Photographer, Adams 12 employee honored Pam Wagner, a former athletic secretary at Horizon, an employee in the Adams 12 media department and photographer for area newspapers, will be honored at halftime of the Oct. 8 Horizon-Mountain Range football game at North Stadium. Wagner died in June and a plaque will be given to her husband and later will be displayed in the press box.
