Safety panel: Support, coping crucial Littleton Public Schools committee wants to continue work By Jennifer Smith
It quickly became apparent that this work is complex and requires deeper study and analysis than the initial timeframe could allow.” — LPS SAFETY PANEL REPORT
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The committee examining safety and mental-health issues for Littleton Public Schools presented its findings to the board of education June 25, stressing what the members say is one overarching message: “We believe that LPS and the greater community recognize an emphasis on high achievement and high performance, with the unintended consequences of creating a climate for mental-health issues and pressures on students. Given that, there need to be supports for students (and, by extension,
parents) around coping skills, resiliency and recovery.” Committee members said the emphasis should be on prevention rather than intervention. “We need to be able to give them support and coping skills for the times they’re not the best,” said Tammy Harimon. To that end, mental-health supports should be in place at even the preschool level, they say.
“A lot of teachers say, ‘By the time they get to me, it’s too late,’ ” said Jim Stephens, committee chair. The eight-page report lists 10 specific recommendations to improve the safety procedures, mental-health programs and communication systems of the district. It ends with the suggestion that the board reauthorize the committee to continue its work. “It quickly became apparent that this
Hanna comes to South Suburban after working in Castle Rock Staff report
Last hurrah for superintendent By Jennifer Smith
Castle Pines resident Rob Hanna is South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s new executive director, taking the helm on July 31 as the district nears its 60th anniversary. “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 Hanna works exceptionally well with partners and agencies. He’s a collaborator and is responsible for creating an open environment that has contributed to high Parks continues on Page 9
I just want to say thank you to a great team of sailors. I just had the good fortune of being on the boat with you.” — SUPERINTENDENT SCOTT MURPHY
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com In the last of his long goodbyes, Superintendent Scott Murphy exited his 25-year career with Littleton Public Schools on June 25 to a standing ovation, tears, hugs and an official resolution declaring, “his servant leadership, skilled fiscal and political expertise, sincere compassion and unwavering dedication to the Littleton Public Schools District is unsurpassed.” Now officially retired, Murphy looks forward to traveling with his wife, Teri Chavez, and serving on a variety of education-related boards and committees. He’s also teaching school finance at Regis University, and spends time feeding the homeless at St. Elizabeth’s on the Auraria Campus. He thanked the board for supporting him through his nine years in the role of superintendent, saying it takes a team to sail a ship through sometimes-rough waters.

work is complex and requires deeper study and analysis than the initial timeframe could allow,” it reads. “Continuing the committee would build off of existing knowledge and momentum to avoid delay in furthering the work.” The group could function as a monitoring body into the future, say its members, for local systems and possibly at a higher level in conjunction with a similar committee created by a new state law. Both were created in the wake of the December 2013 Arapahoe High School murder/suicide, in which Karl Pierson shot himself to death after mortally wounding fellow student Claire Davis. “The backdrop of this was Arapahoe High School, but it’s so much more complex,” said Superintendent Scott Murphy.
“I just want to say thank you to a great team of sailors,” he said. “I just had the good fortune of being on the boat with you.” Board member Carrie Warren-Gully recalled when she first met Murphy, when she was the PTO president at Sandburg Elementary School. “I remember thinking how amazing it was that you could be a parent volunteer in a school district and the superintendent actually knows your name,” she said, calling him a mentor she trusts implicitly. Board members Mary Nichols and Lucie Stanish both commented on Murphy’s positivity. “He’s always challenged us to celebrate the good things together,” while also taking a hard look at the challenges, said Nichols. State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, even made a special appearance to wish
Murphy well and give him an official Senate proclamation in his honor. “Your steadfast devotion is evidenced by Littleton Public Schools being consistently one of the best,” it read. On a more personal note, she thanked him as the mother of two daughters who grew up in LPS. “I want to share as a person my experience and my gratitude,” she said. Murphy’s name will live on in the district thanks to the Murphy Legacy Fund, which will support security and mentalhealth efforts. And he said he’s confident the district will be in good hands under the leadership of Brian Ewert, formerly the superintendent of Englewood Public Schools. “Brian is a good, good man, and I know he’s a good superintendent,” said Murphy. “He’ll bring wisdom and kindness, with a great head and a good heart.”

Apartment boiler explosion displaces tenants Residents at Centennial complex unsure of future By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the early evening of June 12, Courtney Fry was making her bed when her world literally exploded. “I felt and heard an extremely loud explosion,” she said. “Glass breaking, floor moving, and I could see giant black clouds of smoke out my bedroom window. I don’t know what a building collapsing feels like, but that is what it felt like to me.” In actuality, the boiler in the laundry room right below her second-story apartment had exploded, blowing out drywall in apartments on either side of the furnace room and on the two apartments above. According to the report filed by Littleton Fire Rescue, a deputy reported a victim with severe burns to the entire body. “We have one adult female victim with facial injuries and one male child (about 6 years old) with no obvious injuries,” reads the report. “The force blew out the wall and impacted the female victim who was sitting on the couch next to the wall adjoining the furnace room.” LFR described the incident as “overpressure rupture of boiler from air or gas” in the building, SouthGlenn Place at 6651 S. Vine St., Centennial, just west of the Streets at SouthGlenn. They found no fire and no hazardous materials. But Lisa Bryant’s bedroom, just west of the laundry room, was posted with a big sign warning of asbestos, and the air in it was being vented out of her bathroom window as of June 24, when she was let back in to start packing. “I estimate the damage to be at least $60,000, pending confirmation by an expert contractor,” wrote LFR Capt. Mark Gorman in the report. Triton Property Management Company put Bryant, Fry and the occupants of 14 other units up at a nearby hotel through the end of the month, but terminated their leases on June 20 and told them to empty their apartments by June 30.
Courtney Fry stands outside what used to be her apartment, which was deemed uninhabitable after the boiler exploded in the laundry room beneath her. Photo by Jennifer Smith Fry, who only grabbed her cat and a few things in an overnight bag as she ran from her apartment, is livid at the way Triton has handled the situation and isn’t sure where she’s going to go after the hotel. “I won’t be living out of my car, but I will be staying with some friends, and probably the majority of my things I need will be in my car,” she said. “My poor cat, who has already been moved from my apartment to a hotel, is now going to my brother’s, thank goodness, but the whole thing just sucks.” Triton officials noted that SouthGlenn Place has maintained a 99 percent occupancy rate for many years, and that most residents have lived there for more than a year. That’s true, said Bryant, who moved there six years ago after a divorce. Everyone
liked living there, partly because it was affordable. “Not everyone here can afford an attorney,” said Bryant, who accessed one through a pre-paid program that’s a benefit of her job as a mental-health counselor. “So far, the way they’ve handled people is really disturbing.” A Triton representative said the company offered to help the displaced residents financially. “We are giving residents the opportunity to participate in a program providing for quick and reasonable payments for possible damage to personal property and other incidental expenses,” said April Sedillos, executive vice president of the Triton Property Management Company, in a statement. According to Fry, that “program” was an
offer of $500 to anyone willing to sign an agreement not to sue the company. “The payment was a miniscule $500. What exactly is that going to do for anyone?” said Fry. “They are literally kicking us out with a 10-day notice and still will not tell us why we could not gain access to our apartments or what happened.” The residents are finding each other and talking about hiring a lawyer together, but the future is uncertain for many of them. Sedillos said she hopes some will return to the building eventually. “We hope other apartment community owners in the area with vacant apartments can make room for our displaced residents,” she said. “We look forward to beginning repairs and welcoming everyone back soon.”

South Suburban official honored for service Director of open space, parks retired in early May By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com The South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors recognized Jim Priddy, director of parks and open spaces, for his 42 years of service during its June 10 meeting. “Priddy is widely respected by his peers,” reads a statement from the district, noting that he earned the Manager of the Year award from the Colorado Special District Association in 2007. A Texas native, Priddy was a recent graduate of Texas A&M University when he moved to Colorado to become the district’s parks supervisor. There he stayed for 42 years, until his retirement on May 1. Priddy literally blazed a lot of trails during his career. When he arrived in 1973, the district had about 37 parks and 50 miles of trails.
Today it has more than 100 parks and nearly 90 miles of trails. Priddy implemented programs to annually replace vehicles, asphalt, trees and irrigation systems. He also developed a system of management that conserves water, preserves open space and supports effective management standards for park maintenance. Thanks to those efforts, the district is able to maintain green parks and athletic fields, and a complete and thorough network of safe and beautiful trails. One of Priddy’s proudest accomplishments was acquiring a new service center in 2012 to accommodate the growing needs of the district. He was actively involved in the district’s three long-range planning groups that resulted in the Gold Medal 2020 plan. He is a member of the Colorado Parks and Recreation Association and the National Certification Board, and he has been a licensed and certified leisure professional for 24 years. He and his wife, Connie, lived in Littleton for many years, where they raised their daughters. They now live in Highlands Ranch and remain active in the south metro community.

Suspect wanted to be killed, deputy says Alexander West accused of hitting sheriff ’s deputy with his car By Taryn Walker twalker@colorado communitymedia.com A Centennial man suspected of striking an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s deputy with his car in May was trying to force deputies to kill him, according to court testimony. For Alexander West, 25, that meant attempting to kill one of them first, a deputy said. West was arrested May 5 following the incident at a Centennial shopping center. One of the deputies on scene shot West, who was treated for his injuries at a local
hospital then taken to jail, authorities said. Injuries to the deputy hit by the car were not life threatening. At a preliminary hearing June 24 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, West’s arraignment was set for 10 a.m. Aug. 17. He is being held on $1 million bond, West facing the following charges: attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer; first-degree assault and second-degree assault on a peace officer; second-degree assault causing injury with a deadly weapon; false reporting; and violent crime with a weapon. In court June 24, Deputy Candace Grey said at 12:30 a.m. May
5, she was dispatched to 5070 E. Arapahoe Road on the report of a possible burglary at a liquor store. Here’s what she said happened: Grey was third on scene after Sgt. Rob Hedrick and Deputy Gordon Carroll. She saw two white cars parked driver side to driver side near Pizza Hut, and in one vehicle was West, who began to drive away when she approached. After Grey activated her lights, West accelerated in his 1996 Toyota Corolla and headed toward Carroll’s patrol vehicle. She said the suspect had to be driving 25-30 mph when he did a “doughnut” to swerve and miss Caroll’s car. After driving in another circle, West headed straight for Hedrick, who was walking on a sidewalk near Winston’s Hill’s Ribs & Stuff. “West did not slow down. He-
drick yelled ‘stop the car’ several times then tried to run for cover, but was struck,” Grey said. “I heard the engine rev and Hedrick went flying into the air and landed on the hood of the car, then fell off.” The pursuit ended with West crashing into Grey’s patrol car. When she approached him, she saw he was bleeding and thought he was dead. “Then he started breathing and moaning and said he hated himself and that he would have to kill one of them to get them to kill him,” Grey said. Hedrick tried to walk and screamed in pain that he thought one of his legs was broken, she said. After Grey’s testimony, defense attorney Steve Newell asked her to draw a diagram of the shopping center and mark areas where the
Recent deaths put river safety in focus High water levels, fast currents have made for dangerous conditions
Body identified as missing tuber Medical examiner confirms Joseph Goodwin found June 28
By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Heavy rain and snow melt have have led to high waters and fast currents at many of the bodies of water in the Denver metro area and throughout Colorado. In recent weeks, several people have lost their lives as a result of water accidents, including two tubers from the south metro area: Joseph Goodwin, a Heritage High graduate, in the South Platte River in Sheridan on June 20, and Steven Kelly, a Chaparral graduate, in the Arkansas River in Pueblo on June 21. On June 27, the body of Robert Jacobs, of Castle Rock, was found in the South Platte River in Waterton Canyon. Local and state agencies urge caution this summer when swimming, boating and otherwise enjoying the water. And they say to stay away from shorelines with fastmoving water. Metro-area officials also have encouraged people to stay off the South Platte River for the time being. “We are recommending everyone stay off the river until it returns to its ‘bankful’ (average annual maximum) flows of 650 (cubic feet per second) or less, and even then to always wear a life vest,” said Skot Latona, supervisor of South Platte Park in Littleton. In some areas, including Englewood, the South Platte has been flowing at more than 3,000 cfs in recent weeks. Jefferson and Douglas Counties had closed the South Platte from the mountains to Chatfield reservoir to recreational use. Downstream of Chatfield, the river traverses a greater number of jurisdictions, and has never been formally closed to use. Technically, it does remain open to the public, though that does not mean it has been endorsed as safe for all users. “People should continue to use extreme caution in making their choice about floating the river,” Latona said. “At these flow
incident occurred to be added to evidence in the investigation. Newell implied that Grey was making an assumption it was West’s intention to hit Hedrick. “He did not lose control of the vehicle,” Grey responded. Grey said she heard at least one gunshot when West’s car headed toward Hedrick. According to a sheriff’s office news release from May, West was shot by a deputy, but details of who injured the suspect were not revealed during the hearing. Later in the hearing, another deputy who responded May 5 said the two occupants of the second white car told him they were waiting for friends to get off work. One man was detained by the deputy, but neither has been charged in connection with the case.

Joseph Goodwin fell off an inner tube into this fast-moving portion of the South Platte River in Sheridan on June 20. His body was found June 28. Rain and snow melt have made for swift-flowing conditions in the Platte and other bodies of water in Colorado. Photo by Chris Rotar levels, we recommend the river only be floated by skilled whitewater boaters with all proper safety equipment.” State law requires children 12 and under, when using any “vessel,” to wear life vests, and all others to have a life vest on board. Under current definitions, this specifically excludes things like inner tubes and pool toys. “That does not mean those types of floatation aids, or the conditions they are used in, are any safer than a canoe or kayak, and in fact are much likely more dangerous,” Latona said. “We believe children should always wear a life vest when in lakes or rivers with areas greater than knee deep and that adults should as well.” Here are some tips from authorities to stay safe:
In the event of flooding
•Move to higher ground. • Have a plan in the event of rising water. • Be aware that roads in the area may close without notice.
Before boating
• Check your equipment. • Wear the proper life vest. • Attend a boating safety course. • Get a safety inspection on your vessel. • Review navigation techniques.
Life vests Boaters must carry one wearable personal floatation device for each person on board. If the boat is more than 16 feet in length, an additional throwable device is required. Children 12 years of age and younger are required to wear a PFD whenever their vessel is on the water, except when they are in an enclosed cabin or below deck.
General tips: • Never go on the water alone. • Know your abilities and limitations and plan accordingly. • Scout the river ahead of time for hazards like debris and dangerous conditions. • If you fall in the river, point your feet downstream and look for a point to get out. Never put your feet down and try to stand. • Get out of the water as soon as possible. • If you see someone fall in, throw him or her a floatation device or rope; if the effort is not successful, then go for help. • Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. • Take swim lessons. • Keep your children within reach.
The Denver Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed the body found June 28 in the South Platte River is that of 21-year-old Joseph Goodwin, who disappeared in the South Platte River while tubing June 20 in Sheridan. The examiner reports the body was located in the river near Exposition Avenue about noon June 28, and Goodwin was pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy was performed June 29, and the exGoodwin aminer’s statement said the cause of death is still under investigation. On June 20, Goodwin, a Littleton resident, was tubing with three other people at the boat chutes located just north of Union Avenue near Centennial Park in Englewood. Authorities say the fast-running stream knocked Goodwin off his tube and into the turbulent water. Searchers combed the river and the banks the remainder of that afternoon and continued the search June 21. The search was officially called off late in the afternoon June 21. On June 29, Andrew Goodwin said the family is working on arrangements for a location and date for a memorial service. Goodwin attended Heritage High School and served in the Marines.

Gay-marriage ruling spurs differing views in Colorado State began issuing licenses for same-sex couples last year Staff report The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 26 ruling to allow samesex marriage across the nation didn’t change policy in Colorado, which has seen gay nuptials since last October. But the news was welcomed by many in the Denver metro area as a sign of progress. “I am so excited for all my constituents, friends, and fellow citizens who have been waiting for this day of equality,” said state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton. “This historic decision from our highest court is long overdue.” Likewise, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat whose 1st District includes Denver, Englewood, Columbine Valley and Bow Mar, enthusiastically supported the ruling. “Finally, every loving couple in the United States may choose to express their commitment in marriage and be assured of its legal benefits and responsibilities,” she said. “This is a proud moment in our ongoing march toward full

equality.” County clerks in Colorado have been issuing same-sex marriage licenses since October 2014, upon the Butler Coffman orders of the state’s attorney general after the nation’s top court declined to hear appeals on the matter. On June 26, county clerks in the DeGette Newell metro area, including in Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties, said it was business as usual. A spokeswoman for Arapahoe County said the clerk has issued 212 marriage licenses to same-sex couples since Oct. 7. The Supreme Court’s ruling came by the closest of margins, 5-4, and the justices were divided along what many consider conservative-liberal lines.
A spokesman for the Colorado Republican Party deferred to the Republican National Committee’s statement when asked for comment. The RNC said marriage issues should be left to state officials. “The Supreme Court failed to recognize the states’ constitutional role in setting marriage policy, instead finding a federal role where there is none,” according to the statement. “In doing so, they have taken power away from the states and from the people to settle the relevant issues for themselves. “As a party, we believe in the importance of traditional marriage between a man and a woman and remain committed to finding common ground to champion the family’s role in society.” U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican whose 6th District includes Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Centennial, didn’t denounce the decision, but said there are more important issues for the community and nation to tackle. “It is time we move forward and focus on the big debates of our day — how to keep our country safe and get Americans back to work,” he said. The president and CEO of Focus on the Family, a Colorado Springs-based Christian ministry, called the court’s decision “disappointing.” “Although this result was predicted by many observers, the action of the court is nonetheless startling in its rejection of a societal understanding of marriage that goes back to the dawn of civilization,” Jim Daly said in a statement posted on the group’s website. Not all religious leaders shared that thought. “I was very pleased, and I hope the United Methodist Church will follow up that decision with its own decision this coming year, in 2016, at the general conference, making same-sex marriage legal in the church,” said Rusty Butler, lead pastor at Arvada United Methodist Church.

When Eugene Sanders heard last week about the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that same-sex couples had the right to marry nationwide, he was working at his part-time job, which tempered his response. “I couldn’t really react the way I wanted to in my mind,” said Sanders, a recent graduate of Arapahoe Community College. “I was overwhelmed with emotions because it was something that I wanted and others that I knew
wanted for a long time. That’s why the Supreme Court’s there: the ultimate people to make this decision.” Sanders views the struggle to legalize gay marriage as part of a larger human-rights issue around the world and throughout history. At ACC, he revived Sanders the Equality Club in 2013, and as president of the group he began an education campaign on LGBT rights.
Sanders, who graduated from ACC in December and now attends the University of Colorado Denver, said he often turned to theater to spark the conversation. The Equality Club worked to bring performances to the college, and he credited ACC with generally being open-minded and supportive. ACC recognized Sanders as student of the year and as one of the college’s “rising stars” for the 2013-14 school year. “People see gay people in a certain light — we’re all different people,” Sanders said. “I was put in motion to educate as many people as possible.”

Ponderosa High School wrestling coach Corey McNellis was with his team at a camp in Missouri when he got the news. It was like a punch to the gut.

The 2010 graduate won a pair of individual state championships in helping build the Mustangs’ legacy on the mats. Now, McNellis was joining Kelly’s friends and family and the Colorado wrestling community in reflecting on the life and mourning the death of a young man who was just starting to build his own legacy. “He was tough on the mat, but he CN # was humble, gentle and kind to others off the mat,” said McNellis, who REG. 34.60 • Rack of Baby Back Ribs coached Kelly in the 2009 and 2010 SAVE $11 • 1/2 BBQ Chicken seasons. “Our program is going to reWITH THIS COUPON • BBQ Chicken Breast member him for a long time.

Steven Kelly, a former state champion wrestler for Ponderosa High School and a student-athlete at Colorado State University-Pueblo, died June 21 in a tubing accident on the Arkansas River. Photo by Bill Sabo/CSU-Pueblo Athletic Media Relations derosa Athletic Director Tim Ottmann, Kelly’s wrestling coach before retiring after the 2008 season. “He had it all. He was smart, talented and worked hard. He set the pace for everybody.” On June 21, Kelly was tubing alone on the fast-flowing Arkansas River in Lake Pueblo State Park when he ran into trouble below the dam near a picnic area, according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife news release. “It appears Kelly was trying to avoid drifting down the river by tying a rope to the footbridge located there,” the release states. “The rope was then tied to his inner tube and his ankle. The tube broke away in the swift water and Kelly was unable to detach himself from the rope before he drowned.”
CSU-Pueblo Athletic Director Joe Folda called Kelly’s death “devastating.” “Steven was an outstanding student-athlete with a bright future,” Folda said in a news release. The son of Dan and Lisa Kelly and brother of four older siblings enjoyed playing video games, working out and singing karaoke with his family, according to his bio on the CSU-Pueblo athletics department website. At Ponderosa, Kelly wrestled alongside his brother Daniel, a 2009 graduate who also won a pair of state championships. “I really feel for his family,” said McNellis. “They were great supporters. Obviously, they didn’t deserve this.”

The Consular Corps Celebration on June 22 was a chance for people to connect with Colorado leaders as well as representatives of international markets. It was the first formal event held at the new AMG National Trust Bank headquarters facility in Greenwood Village and about 150 people showed not only for tasty hors d’oeuvres, but to hear from national and international officials, put on by the South Metro Denver -Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian -Consulate. o Guests included Larry A. Mizel from MDC; dGov. John Hickenlooper; president of CSUGlobal, Becky Takeda-Tinker; Denver Mayor Michael Hancock; Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson and Adams County commissioners;
numerous international leaders and 30 or so honorary and consuls general. “This unprecedented gathering of international leaders marks the formal launch of the chamber’s new global commerce initiative, designed to facilitate international trade and economic development. It will provide an exceptional opportunity for these leaders to communicate and network as never before,” a press release said. Hickenlooper spoke about the importance of trade relationships and applauded what Colorado has done so far in the realm of trade. After Hancock praised the room on international connections and the importance of education around the world, consuls general and honorary consuls were introduced and welcomed on stage for photos. The night ended in a couple of hours of connecting and networking.

‘Almost’ good enough isn’t good enough “Almost” is only a six-letter word, but so very important. And its importance and relevance could be situational, and maybe it even comes down to our own perspective and how we choose to view all of the “almost” events in our lives. Recently while driving from Denver to Des Moines, Iowa, we “almost” made it into Des Moines in time to avoid the tornado warnings and storm. I mean we were about 25 miles from town when the radio alert interrupted our music and alerted us to a tornado warning and to seek shelter immediately. Luckily it was just a very severe thunderstorm with high wind and rain, and we arrived safely; however, it was a bit unnerving as debris filled the highways, and trucks were sideways along the road. “Almost” there was just not good enough. How many of us have experienced an event or situation where we avoided a serious accident or collision where we could have been hurt or seriously injured? You know, the kind of near-miss where we tell the story to a friend and we say something like, “You should have seen it, there we were just walking along when all of a sudden a rock slide came and ‘almost’ wiped us out!” The good news in these situations is that we were “almost” in trouble but we survived to tell our story. The “almost” events can be very exhilarat-
ing, for sure, as they get our heart rate going and stimulate our thinking and our actions. But there is another kind of “almost” that serves as more of a de-motivator in our lives that could be even more dangerous than those near-misses and close calls. If you have ever Michael Norton found yourself saying, WINNING “I almost went to the gym today” or “I almost WORDS started reading that book,” you know what I might be referring to. It is in these “almost” moments, events and situations where we can caught in the trap of “almost” achieving our goals and dreams. When this happens we have to look at the barriers, obstacles and excuses that cause us to “almost” achieve our goals instead of pushing past and realizing success. “I almost went to the gym, but my friend came by with a pizza and I just couldn’t say no.” Now that is an excuse that could have been avoided with a commitment to a goal of better physical fitness and getting in shape. “I almost went to the gym, however as I stepped out of my car
I twisted my ankle and needed to go for an X-ray.” This is a real obstacle that needs to be addressed before moving on with the pursuit of our goals. The point is this, we can “almost” do anything. And if we just shifted our mindset and took the emphasis off of the word “almost” and placed our focus on the word “do,” we would increase our effectiveness and productivity in every area of our lives. I know, I know, living with an “almost” attitude is so much easier, it really is. It gets us out of any promises, commitments and expectations we have made to ourselves and others. If we could just get past the “almost” there mental barrier and get our heads and hearts around the “being” there or “getting” there success stories of our lives, there is no doubt in my mind that we can all meet with a higher level of personal and professional achievement. How about you, are you “almost” there or are you there? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we move from “almost” there to “being” there, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Connected by phone and still all alone I had a nightmare. I was in an elevator with five other people. They were all strangers to me, and they were all strangers to each other. All of them were on the phone. Tapping away or talking, heads down, oblivious to each other. It was a cage of monkeys seeing and monkeys doing. Courtesy was out the window. Any speck of politeness was out the window. Respect was out the window. Those are arcane words. I gotta make a phone call now, right here, in front of anyone, anywhere, at any time, no matter what it looks like, and it can’t really bother anyone because everyone around me is doing it. Except me. And it wasn’t a nightmare. It just happened, in a New York City hotel. They all got on without looking up, and bumped into each other without apologizing. One of them got off without looking up and ran right into the doorframe. At about floor 19, I started to speak, in my distinctive voice, the lyrics of “A Day in the Life.” “Four-thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.” It went unnoticed. “And though the holes were rather small, they had to count them all.” Unnoticed. “Now they know how many holes it takes to

Export-Import Bank crucial to businesses As globalization transforms our economy, many Colorado businesses, most of them small, are finding success by exporting their made-in-America products abroad. One resource playing a key role in helping these companies ship American goods across the world is the Export-Import Bank. Since 2007, more than 100 businesses in our state, the majority of which are small or minorityowned, have used the Ex-Im Bank to facilitate the export of $815 million in goods to global markets. Nationwide, the Ex-Im Bank supported $27.4 billion in U.S. exports and supported 164,000 jobs. Additionally, 90 percent of its financing went to small businesses. For more than 80 years, the Ex-Im Bank has served as the nation’s official export credit agency, working with companies on loans, loan guarantees and other financing opportunities to compete for global sales. Unlike some federal programs plagued by inefficiency or

selfie. Take another selfie. Text, text, text, text, text, text, text, text. You don’t care what you look like, but I sure wish you would watch where you are going. There is no eye contact to begin with in New York. It’s a misdemeanor. At a minimum it is referred to as “creepy.” It’s not as bad here, but just about. When was the last time you saw a teenager without a phone in their hand? I know that I am an anomaly. When I leave the house, I want to be out of reach. Leave a message on my landline and I will get back to you. But if I am out and about, leave me alone. Rudeness used to mean something. Now it means nothing. Am I am old and cranky? Thankfully, yes. An elevator is a great place to show exactly what has become of human behavior. When the doors opened, a punk with a backward cap left in front of a 40-something woman. Both of them were on the phone, and she didn’t seem to mind. People are people. I just don’t happen to want to be one of them sometimes. I have hammered this nail before, I know that. And I am sure I will again. Short of living in a lighthouse — which I have considered — it’s the only way to avoid foundering in the babble and drivel.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Court’s ruling makes us all more free
waste, the Ex-Im Bank is a self-sustaining, independent agency. It has consistently returned money to the federal treasury — more than $7 billion since 1992. Unfortunately, without congressional action, the Ex-Im Bank was set to shut down at the end of June. Our office has worked with businesses around the state to urge congressional leadership to reauthorize the bank’s authority, which would keep it open. In a letter
I awoke Friday morning to a beautiful rainbow, not outside my window, but on my Facebook feed. Just as interracial marriage is now simply considered “marriage,” so too is LGBT marriage in all 50 states. This news came nearly 24 hours after the Supreme Court also deemed government tax subsidies within the Affordable Care Act to be constitutional. I felt that these court rulings would prove to the opposition that their beloved country has made these decisions purely based on our Constitution to most prominently include equality. We have just witnessed not one but two historical Supreme Court decisions, both related to human rights. While both decisions result in positivity, I cannot help but wonder why these were cases at all. It does not shine a modern or inclusionary light on our country when such questions as “Should everyone have affordable healthcare?” or “Should everyone be free of discrimination when it comes to legal rights?” must be asked. These are liberties that other advanced countries have had for

The report lays out several core values to be considered when evaluating alternatives, with the first being: “Schools should not be a fortress. Finding a balance of safety and welcoming school climate is critical.” Listening to the students themselves is important to the group, as well. There are two high-schoolers among them now, but they’d like to have more should the board authorize them to move forward. One of the most specific suggestions is to create mental-health liaisons in school communities to help families find outside resources. This is based on the recognition that families are primarily responsible for their children’s mental health, though the district is there to support them. “Sometimes it’s about helping families get to the resources, not being the resource,” said Lucinda Hundley. As part of its work, the committee identified strengths that already exist in the systems, things like good collaboration with outside agencies and a crisisresponse team. But making the public more aware of what’s already good is a challenge. “I don’t think the public understands thoroughly, but it was the beginning of a conversation,” said Hundley. The report will be available online at
AREA CLUBS
PANEL’S SUGGESTIONS A summary of the LPS safety committee’s recommendations: Ensure uniform security training across the district for anyone inside the building, including volunteers and parents. Create a consistent numbering system for rooms inside all buildings. Continue to conduct regular emergency drills. Annually review data and processes related to security. Bring in an independent security expert to audit systems every three to five years. Place greater emphasis on mental health for preschoolers and elementary students. Designate research-based interventions that schools must choose from. Designate mental-health liaisons to help families find resources. Establish a districtwide minimum level of mentalhealth staffing. Regularly review communication processes, purpose, strategies and team structure.

He visited Droplet Measurement Technologies, the ExportImport Bank 2015 Small Business Exporter of the Year, which exported nearly $12 million in American-made goods since 2007. Coolerado, a company we visited in 2012 that designs and manufactures awardwinning energy-efficient air conditioners, received resources from the Ex-Im Bank to export more than $1.2 million in goods to 25 countries.

The Ex-Im Bank plays an important role in leveling the playing field for U.S. goods in global markets. It supports Colorado businesses and provides them with opportunities to expand their reach abroad, sell made-in-America products around the world and create new jobs at home. Here in Colorado, Ex-Im Bank customers represent many of our key industries including aerospace, renewable energy, manufacturing and oil and gas. Without the bank, many businesses in these industries will lose access to a key resource. And at a time when the world economy is becoming increasingly competitive, we should be trying to expand opportunities to reach global markets, not take away a proven, effective tool. We can all agree there is no shortage of agencies in Washington that could be cut back, overhauled or completely closed down. But only in Washington would they choose to dismantle an agency with a proven track record of success that actually returns money to the taxpayers. Reauthorizing the bank’s charter is a common-sense decision and one that is important to the economy of the state and the country. We have committed to Colorado businesses that we will support the Export-Import Bank, and we will continue fighting for it in Congress.

Bitner run/walk brings out crowd Fallen Officer Fund event likely topped previous total By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Mother Nature provided perfect conditions for 391 runners and walkers who took part in the June 20 Jeremy Bitner Memorial event, held to raise money for the Fallen Officer Fund established in his name. The final fundraising tally wasn’t available but was expected to top last year’s total. Sarah Spriggs stretched her muscles and paused to buckle her child into a stroller as she prepared to take part in the event. “I run for exercise, and today I am going to run the 5K run,” she said. “I’ll push the stroller as I run. It is how I run. I wouldn’t know how to go running without having the stroller with me.” Englewood Detective Bobbie Garrett was a member of the bicycle patrol set to accompany the runners and walkers. “Of course, I knew Jeremy and I think it is nice that so many people pay tribute to him three years after he died while on duty,” the
26-year Englewood Police Department veteran said. “It is great that so many people come together. We have good people coming together for a good cause. The event raises money we hope will never have to be used but it is good to have funds ready if needed to take care of the families of fallen officers.” Those taking part in the event had the choice of a five-kilometer run, a 10-kilometer run, a 5-kilometer walk or a children’s run and walk. Bitner The starting line and the finish line for all events were located at Cornerstone Park. Routes for the 5- and 10-kilometer events wound through Progress and Belleview Parks, along the Big Dry Creek Trail and the Mary Carter Greenway When the runs and walks were completed, there was a midway-like area with vendors and children’s activities including inflatable attractions. The event is held in memory of Englewood Detective Jeremy Bitner, who was a Centennial resident. Bitner died May 28,
Several runners set their stop watches to record their times as they await the start of the 10-kilometer run at the Bitner Fallen Officer Memorial Event. This year there were a record number of entries for the event. Photo by Tom Munds 2012, during a traffic stop when he was hit by a car with a drunken driver at the wheel. Bitner had been with the Englewood Police Department for eight years. He was
a patrol officer and member of the SWAT team, and served as a training officer for new members of the department. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Late Steckel leaves legacy in Milestones Project Celebration of life will be held July 25 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia Dr. Richard Alan Steckel of Littleton died June 19 at the age of 72. He leaves behind his wife, Michele, a loving family and a legacy of photographs meant to help people around the world realize how we are all connected. A celebration of Steckel’s life will be held at 3 p.m. on July 25 at Arapahoe Community College. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Milestones Project, c/o Colorado Business Bank, 2409 W. Main St., Littleton CO 80120. In 1999, the Steckels started traveling and assembling the Milestones Project, which has 73,000 photographs celebrating children as they recognize a milestone—the loss of a tooth, a first step, a first friend, a first day of school, etc. They collected stories from the children, as well as quotations from world leaders. These photographs have been compiled into 11 widely-distributed educational books for children as well as traveling exhibits that

AREA FARMERS MARKETS
By Taryn Walker
A list of some of the farmers markets in the Denver suburbs:
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Wearing a giant smile and a khaki visor labeled “The Honey Gal,” Debra Ann Rivera called out to the crowd as she squirted whipped caramel honey onto wooden sticks for visitors to try. “I’ve got Colorado honey!” Rivera calls herself the honey gal because that’s who she is and what she does. She’s one of hundreds of vendors who sells products at famers markets in the Denver metro area. On a recent Wednesday, Rivera was working the market at Aspen Grove in Littleton. It’s one of five locations run by Metro Denver Farmers’ Markets. “Here, the public gets great exposure to a variety of produce, even organic, which people love nowadays,” Rivera said. “Remember those days of taking a family trip and seeing a sign that says ‘Cherries, apples and peaches,’ and just dying to stop and see what it was all about?” The best part of farmers markets is getting to be outside and tasting products, she said. “There’s this old nostalgic Americana feeling that people get when they can come buy local wildflower honey or fresh fruit from a stand,” Rivera said. Metro Denver’s market manager, John Herian, said Colorado honey isn’t something you can find at every store, and products like that are what keep the markets going. He said he encourages customers to come out and support local farmers, as this year has been a difficult one. “It’s a hard year for farmers because of replanting and delayed harvesting,” he said. “It makes it difficult to make their loan payments. Situations like this will put some farmers out of business, and sadly that happens all the time.” With heavy rain and hailstorms in spring, customers have been holding back on visiting the markets he oversees because of lack of produce, he added. “People tend to come to the farmers markets, especially ours, because we have the most farmers with fresh produce,” he said. “What they should know is to come and investigate the market to see what other goodies are available that they can’t find anywhere else.”
An eclectic mix
Farmers markets are a way to celebrate
Castle Rock: 8 a.m. to noon, Saturdays, July 11 through Oct. 3, Third and Elbert streets, Castle Rock Centennial: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., July 18, features a market for kids; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Aug. 15; 13050 E. Peakview Ave. (Centennial Center Park) Highlands Ranch: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sellout, Sundays through Nov. 1, 9288 Dorchester St. (Highlands Ranch Town Center) Lakewood: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sellout, Saturdays through Sept. 26, 9077 W. Alameda Ave. (Mile Hi Church) Mazzotti Farms of Hudson supplies fresh produce including tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers and green beans at the Aspen Grove farmers market in Littleton. culture, said Djehba Salih of Aurora. Through her business, Kente Konnection, she sells shea butter directly from Ghana, the African nation of her heritage. “You come to these markets, and a lot of it is always Americanized,” Salih said. “I started this up because I wanted to get back to my roots. My dad was born in Ghana, and my husband is from there.” The shea butter, which comes in giant, rotund ball shapes, is handmade by women and children in Africa through a sustainable program, she said. Salih admitted she was hesitant at first to come to the Centennial Artisan and Farmers Market, which is not affiliated with the Metro Denver group, but after she was formally invited, she decided to give it a try. “We sit back and laugh because in Ghana we’ve been making shea from nuts for hundreds of years, and here people sell products where they just put a drop of it in there and sell it for twice as much,” she explained. Saby Bujdoso operates a traveling, tikistyle, fresh-squeezed lemonade stand in Highlands Ranch — perfect for summertime farmers markets, he said. Every week he teams up with two other partners from Littleton to sell kettle corn and Danish pastries. “Farmers are the key to a farmers market. Without them I wouldn’t have all these lemons,” Bujdoso said. One of the only vendors with fresh produce at the Centennial market on June 20 was Diego Hernandez of Denver’s Ant D’s Fine Foods. He said the key to a great market is consistency. “If you’re not consistent, people won’t
come,” he said. “They need routine. It’s important to come out to the same spots.” Hernandez, a fourth-generation jam maker, sells a lot of jam. But it’s not just about jams and jellies — he has a variety of fresh produce, including mushrooms, eggs, peppers, peaches and strawberries. At the Highlands Ranch Farmers Market, Sean O’Connel, an employee of Mazzotti Farms in Hudson, said everything is late this year when it comes to produce. But his vendor stand had quite the spread of flowers, green beans, tomatoes and spinach. “I’d say by August 1, we’ll have a lot more. Everything from carrots and onions to beets and melons,” he said.
Produce still matters For some visitors, famers markets are marked on their calendar, while others come across them by accident. John Tinkler of Roxbourough said he was perusing offerings at the Highlands Ranch Town Center while waiting on a table at a nearby restaurant when he sampled some pork green chile from Mama Montoya’s out of Littleton. “I was just kind of here by accident, but I’ve been to this market the most,” he said. “I like to see what it’s like every week — check out the different products. I’ll probably be taking some of that pork green chile home today.” Also at the Highlands Ranch market was Littleton resident Peggy Rodger, and she knew exactly what she was leaving with when she arrived.
Littleton:10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sellout, Wednesdays through Oct. 28, 7301 S. Sante Fe Drive (Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center) Parker: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sundays through Oct. 25, Mainstreet and Pikes Peak Drive, downtown Parker Southwest Plaza: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sellout, Saturdays through Oct. 31, Wadsworth and Bowles (Southeast Parking lot) Wheat Ridge: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sellout, Thursdays through Oct. 29, 4252 Wadsworth Blvd.
“I was here last weekend, but now there’s a super deal. The flowers are buy one, get one. Now, I’m just waiting for the organic produce to come in,” Rodger said. Others come and don’t find what they’re looking for. Several customers in Centennial mentioned the lack of fresh produce and that some of the markets in the area are more like street markets. Amanda Wentworth and her 22-monthold son, Kyler, were sharing a frozen treat while walking down the long aisle of the Aspen Grove farmers market. She said she comes to the market to support local businesses. For Wentworth, a Littleton resident, it’s “absolutely” necessary that the markets have fresh produce when in season. Monica Sharp, of Littleton, who was adorned with recyclable bags on each arm, agreed. “I probably wouldn’t come here if they didn’t have any produce, especially because Colorado is known for growing so much. It’s very important, but I do like some of the other things here,” she said.

Chowing down continues amid massive storm Not even a massive storm that swept through Genesee and pulverized the rest of the metro area on the night of June 24 could dampen the spirits of media members gathered at the new Hideaway Kitchen + Bar to see the space renovation and sample fine fare from new executive chef Nick Shankland, who laid out an impressive spread. The restaurant, owned by Alan Zizmor, closed its doors in December and reopened in April with the new chef, new general manager Scott Tallman, a Denver restaurant veteran, and a new attitude. Zizmor, who largely relied on locals who have supported the restaurant through its growing pains, largely change the menu to a shared-plates concept, and let Shankland, whose resume includes stints at Colt & Gray, Old Major and Central Bistro, work his culinary magic on the menu. Our group was treated to tasting portions of fig, tomato and white chocolate salad off the lunch menu, farro risotto off the vegetarian side, mussels and Manila clams from the seafood list, house-made sausage from the farm category, fried naked chicken and pork ribs from the comfort food list, crabcake Benedict off the brunch menu and cherry hand pie with sour ice cream for dessert. Each course was beautifully paired with wine and cocktail samples. Hideaway features a gorgeous outdoor patio with humongous umbrellas, which shielded us from the downpour. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, along with Sunday brunch. For reservations and more information, go to www.hideawaykitchen.com or call 303-526-0556.
of visitor volume, visitor expenditures and tax revenue in 2014, welcoming 71.3 million visitors to the state who spent $18.6 billion and generated $1.1 billion in tax revenue, according to an announcement last week by the Colorado Tourism Office. Penny Parker This is the fourth MILE HIGH consecutive year the CTO has seen recordLIFE setting growth. “These outstanding results prove once again that tourism is one of the top drivers of positive economic impact and job growth in Colorado,” said Gov. John Hickenlooper. Total direct travel spending in Colorado in 2014 reached $18.6 billion, with 66 percent of that total coming from visitors who stayed overnight in paid accommodations (hotels, motels, rented condos, campgrounds, RV parks and bed-and-breakfasts), according to the Colorado Travel Impacts 2014 report by Dean Runyan & Associates. This record spending figure represents an increase of 7.4 percent over 2013, significantly outpacing the national growth rate of 4.5 percent in visitor expenditures. Since 1996, visitor-generated spending has increased at an average annual rate of 4.2 percent, earnings by 3.1 percent and local and state tax revenues by 5.3 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively.

Teller Bar launches drink ritual
Teller Bar, the signature social lounge at The Renaissance Denver Downtown at the Colorado National Bank, has launched the Renaissance Bar Ritual, an experiential
event, which will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. five nights a week. The Renaissance Bar Ritual program encourages guests to make time for the 5 to 9 p.m. period of the day, after the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work is completed. As part of Renaissance Hotels’ “Business Unusual” philosophy, the Bar Ritual is designed to defy the notion of conventional business travel by helping guests uncover local experiences. Rather than passively sitting at the bar, patrons are invited to discover more about local spirits and wines, and, most evenings, take part in making a spirited punch. Each week, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, original punch recipes using local spirits will be showcased. Guests will actively take part in crafting the recipe, with the assistance of Teller Bar’s bartenders. Those participating will then be able to sip and enjoy their creation. Each Wednesday, or “Winedown Wednesday,” will feature complimentary wine tastings, which will also often be highlighted by meet-andgreets and talks from winery owners.

A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME For high school athletes, finding the right college is now driven by technology By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mike Brookhart was a three-sport standout who graduated in 1979 from Cherry Creek High School. Despite his talent, Brookhart wouldn’t have become a four-year baseball letterman and team captain at the University of Northern Colorado if not for baseball coach Marc Johnson. “Marc Johnson made the calls for me to the University of Denver, University of Wyoming and Northern Colorado,” said Brookhart, Cherry Creek’s boys basketball coach and the school’s former football coach. “Then the coach would come and see me. That’s kind of the old way.” Recruiting has changed immensely with email, Twitter, YouTube, showcase events and myriad summer camps on college campuses. Bill Bufton, Valor Christian’s college recruiting coordinator, has seen the Recruit continues on Page 19

Websites play major role By Nick Puckett
npuckett@colorado communitymedia.com Recruiting websites have become one of the most popular tools for many high school athletes aspiring to play college sports. The sites allow athletes to create profiles for databases used by college coaches seeking a specific type of athlete. Coaches can then contact the athlete, as long as all NCAA regulations are met. Adam Toyama, director of recruiting for football at the University of Colorado, said he uses some sites for “supplemental information.” “Some sites have their transcripts,” said Toyama. “(We can see) whether or not they can get into the University of Colorado.” Toyama declined to comment on the extent to which the program uses the websites. Athlete profiles usually consist of basic information, athletic honors, statistics, highlight videos and photos. Per NCAA regulations, athlete profiles, in order for a coach to contact the athlete, must also include academic records and a written statement of the athlete’s intent. Andy McKernan, content strategist at the National Collegiate Sports Association, said the group’s website, NCSAsports.org, operates like a “match.com … for coaches and athletes,” where coaches can filter through a database of athlete profiles depending on what they are looking for, and athletes can find coaches in need of a roster spot. Most sites allow the user to create a profile for free. For a fee, some sites contact coaches — who must have a paid membership — on behalf of the athlete; provide users access to recruitment consultation by recruiting experts; produce, edit and distribute highlight videos; or even allow the user featured coverage on the site.
“It’s well worth it to spend a little bit of money to earn a scholarship,” said Mike Alexander, director of recruiting at MVPSportsRecruiting.com. “It’s a huge weight off a parent’s shoulders.” When asked if the site was profitable, Alexander replied with a chuckle, “Yes. It’s my job. It better be.” The price can vary depending on the amount of exposure the athlete is looking for, the number of coaches who access the sites’ athlete-profile database and quality of the profiles themselves. For a little extra cash, some sites even throw in professional scouting evaluations. MVP Sports Recruiting and NCSASports. org, like most recruiting websites, focus on getting smaller-name athletes recruited by smaller schools, as well as Division I-caliber athletes. “Everyone knows about the ranked players,” said Alexander. “It really helps the D-II and D-III college coaches because they don’t have the budget to travel and go to select games across the country.” Alexander said most users of the site seek a school based on academic merit first, then worry about earning an athletic scholarship to help pay for the school. Overall, the sites are designed as middle men between coaches and athletes. “Families can fall into the trap of relying on a local resource like a coach who is stretched too thin or an athletic director,” said McKernan. Some sites, like NCSAsports.org, offer grants to students who can’t afford the premium membership based on academic and athletic merit. Access to new high school recruiting technology is a double-edged sword: It provides opportunities for scholarships, but typically at a high price. “With new technology there are new issues,” said Toyama. “Everything is constantly evolving. It’s good and bad.”

You’ve got to pay to play By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com It can be expensive for athletes to catch the attention of college recruiters at a summer camp, recruiting event or national tournament. Ponderosa senior-to-be quarterback Nick Wilson went to the Boston College camp along with tight end Matt Brady. Both players were scheduled to attend other camps, as well. “It is pretty expensive but my parents definitely support me in everything I do,” said Wilson, who passed for 1,423 yards last season and rushed for another 564 yards. Brady has an arrangement with his parents. “I kind of have an agreement with my parents as long as I work hard and train as much
as I can, they are willing to help me get to the next level,” he said. “It’s hard to get to the next level without putting yourself out there.” Lou Arvanetes’ son Bridger is a sophomore at Ponderosa and is going to several camps, including Cincinnati and Montana. “You have to sell yourself, it’s not like it used to be,” said Arvanetes. “It’s a financial commitment in all sports. For him football is his choice. We (are going) went to Cincinnati because his grandfather could see him and we (are going) went to Montana because that’s where he was born.” It has become almost necessary for players and teams to attend camps because that’s become a good place get face-to-face exposure to coaches and display athletic talents. “Part of it is playing with club teams and playing out of state because there are a lot of college coaches there,” said 6-3 Arapahoe
junior basketball player Kyle Lukasiewicz, who averaged 9.5 points a game as a sophomore. “I’d say recruiting is mostly with the club teams because that’s what most colleges look at. Once you get spotted, then they call Lukasiewicz your high school.” Valerie Ortega, a juniorto-be catcher for the Mountain Range softball team, plays for the Colorado Stars. “The good part about being on my team, the Colorado Stars Gold, is our head coach (Dan Burns) pays for our flights, hotels and food whenever we travel,” she said. “So the only financial stuff my parents have to deal with is just the fee for the season. “On my competitive team we have three
coaches and one coach is strictly for recruiting. I started sending out emails to colleges my freshman year just giving them information and I sent a skills video. I sent one to the University of Pittsburgh, and that coach liked what she saw and sent an email to my recruiting coach and said, ‘We’re going to see her during the summer, and we’re interested in her.’ So I’m a verbal to Pittsburgh right now.” Burns and the Colorado Stars host a Louisville Slugger Independence Day Tournament that last season attracted 363 coaches from 255 colleges and 160 teams from 30 states. All tournament profits support the Boulder competitive Girls Softball Program, which covers the Stars’ travel expenses to tournaments. Club fees are $2,000 per season.
Going camping, clubbing Staff report
Summer sports camps and club play are among the most important facets of the recruiting game. Here’s what three area high school athletes have to say:
Marc Muma, football Riley Craig, softball
The Mountain Range senior-to-be, who hit .527 last season, has committed to Stony Brook University. She said playing in summer club softball tournaments in front of college coaches was pressurized. “I knew I had to be on my A game and always be focused, even though I might have made a mistake,” she explained. “I knew I had to shake it off because that’s what coaches look at. It was very nerve-racking too because you want to look and play your best in front of coaches no matter if they are D-I, D-II or D-III. I was very nervous.”
Matt Brady, football
The Ponderosa senior-to-be tight end, who moved back to Parker after playing last season in Utah, considers camp exposure very important. “It’s hard to get to the next level without putting yourself out there,” he said. “Not very many kids are going to have some colleges looking for them. You’ve got to get your name out there and start talking to coaches.”
Recruit Continued from Page 18
evolution. “With the technology now, it actually makes it easier because you can send a quick email to a coach and load your hudl. com film or YouTube video,” he said. “But now instead of coaches getting packages every day of DVDs, their email boxes are just getting slammed.” But ThunderRidge football coach Joe Johnson questions whether technology has really improved the recruiting process. “It used to be that it was pretty much a hard-and-fast rule that somebody from the (college’s) staff had to visibly and personally see a kid and make contact before they would (make) an offer,” he said. “Once a kid gets an offer, other teams start to jump on the bandwagon, and they haven’t seen or met the kid, in some cases. That is really shocking to me. That seems like a bad policy. A lot of information can get put on sites that a kid pays for, and they put whatever they want on there.”
Getting noticed
Many high schools have employed recruiting personnel, and club teams have coaches that specialize in recruiting. Much of the early contact with college
Former Cherry Creek football coach Mike Brookhart now coaches the Bruins’ basketball team. Photo by Jim Benton coaches comes during off-season club tournaments and showcases. Athletes are encouraged to email coaches and let them know their schedule of club tournaments or high school games. Many of the showcase events are now labeled recruiting tournaments attract college coaches, who at one event can look at several players who have contacted them. “That’s what draws them to these events,” said Mountain Range girls soft-
The junior-to-be quarterback at Legend High school, who passed for 1,401 yards last season, went to the Peyton Manning Passing Academy last year and will attend camps at UCLA, the University of Colorado and Wyoming this summer. “I’m going to the UCLA camp just to check it out and have fun playing with all those California guys that go to that camp,” Muma said. “I just do it to get some insight of how good other people are and to get some extra coaching. “In the Manning camp, mostly the college players had some really good tips of what to do and how they played in their high school career and what they do now. It was really eye-opening.”
ball coach Dane Craig. “You have to send emails directly to these schools, and it starts at a young age. They come and say, ‘Hey this girl has been emailing me for six months. I’ll see how she plays.’ It’s all about emails and YouTube videos.” Bufton agrees that a little advance notice on an athlete’s part is helpful. “Coaches at an AAU tournament, club tournament or showcase aren’t just walking around trying to find a diamond in the rough,” he said. “Those days are completely over.” Technology also has helped high school athletes get on colleges’ radars earlier, and some are making commitments as early as their sophomore seasons. College basketball recruiters know all about Lakewood’s Kolton Peterson. The junior-to-be was the second-leading Class 5A scorer in the state last season with 23 points per game. Peterson was playing in the Continental-Centennial basketball challenge in Littleton on June 18, and after the game he spent time outside talking on his cell phone to an interested college. “June 15 was the first day schools could talk to you,” said Peterson. “I actually got nine calls, and I just got off the phone with Northern Iowa. College coaches come to a lot of events in July.”
The eyes don’t lie
Many colleges maintain the personal aspect of recruiting, though they often fa-
cilitate it through modern means. “We’re able to contact players by emailing or texting them,” said Metro State University women’s golf coach Ben Portie. “I don’t sign a player unless I see them play, how they act on the course and watch their temperament. That’s old school.” Craig, an assistant coach who helps with recruiting for the Colorado Stars summer team, agrees that emails and videos don’t show everything. “A lot of these recruiters will come, watch girls warm up and won’t even stay for the game,” he said. “Or they’ll watch how the girls react after a strikeout, after an error or how they react after getting a home run hit off them. They’ll even watch to see if they carry their own bag after a game, how they talk to the coach, do they hang out with the team, are they a leader on the field and stuff like that. So much of building a team these days is about fit.” That’s also still true from the athlete’s perspective, in many cases. Jake Staiano, who helped Valor Christian win the Class 4A state golf championship in 2013 and 2014, signed to play at Colorado State University, but not without making sure the school suited him. “It worked both ways,” Staiano said. “I contacted them and coach (Christian) Newton, and he came to see me. I made two trips to Fort Collins to see the school. It was just the best place for me.”

Billups’ camp focuses on fundamentals Staff report For three days at the Parker Fieldhouse, 150 basketball players between the ages of 6 and 17 went through fundamental drills and fun activities at the Chauncey Billups Summer Basketball Academy. Billups — a star at George Washington High, the University of Colorado and in the NBA — plus a group of Nothing But Net coaches had the players in age-group sessions working in dribbling, passing, defensive and shooting drills. There was also instruction on speed and agility. And there were games, including the “money shot,” which the players enjoyed while maintaining Billups’ camp philosophy of making sure kids are coachable with a level of discipline, while having fun. This year’s celebrity coach was 2015 NBA All-Star Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors. Each camper received a Tshirt, basketball, an autographed item from Billups and Lowry, plus photos of both players.
Former NBA All-Star Chauncey Billups is at the head of the line as young campers prepare to start a shooting drill during the Chauncey Billups Summer Basketball Academy, which was held June 22-25 at the Parker Fieldhouse. Photo by Jim Benton

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 29, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Making things more complicated than they need to be can be a problem for the typically orderly Lamb. Try to look for a less intricate way to accomplish the same goals. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoiding personal involvement in a troubling situation might be advisable at this time, especially since you probably don’t have all the facts. The weekend brings a surprise. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A problem with a colleague you thought had been resolved could recur. However, this time you’ll be able to rely on your record to get a quick resolution in your favor. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Giving your self-esteem a boost could be a good idea for the Moon Child, who might feel a bit daunted by the week’s occurrences. Just focus on all your positive accomplishments. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The “mane” attraction for the Lovable Lion this week is -- what else? -- love. New relationships move to new levels, while long-standing partnerships are strengthened. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A recent workplace problem will prove to be one of miscommunication, and once the matter is settled, you should have a better chance of getting your proposals approved. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good news! After dealing pretty much in the dark with a matter that seemed to be taking forever to resolve, you should soon be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A positive message should help lift that energy-draining sense of anxiety, and you should soon be able to deal with even the peskiest matter, whether at work or personal. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Try to control that heated Sagittarian temperament while dealing with what you believe to be an unfair matter. A cool approach is the best way to handle things. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Nursing hurt feelings could keep you from learning what went wrong. Ask your partner, a family member or a trusted friend to help you reassess your actions in the matter. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Nature is dominant this week. Try to spend time outdoors with someone special. An act of kindness in the past might be recalled by a person you believed was out of your life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An upcoming career decision could be based on how well you might be able to apply your artistic talents. Be sure to use the finest samples of your work to make a strong impression. BORN THIS WEEK: Doing good things for others comes easily to you. You are considered a good friend, even by those you might hardly know. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
