Safeway on County Line among stores closing Lagging profits led to decision, company says By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com The Safeway supermarket at the Willow Creek Shopping Center in Centennial is among nine of the grocery chain’s stores in the metro area that will close next month. The stores that are closing June 13 “have not been profitable for quite some time,” said Kristine J. Staaf, director of public affairs/government relations for Safeway’s Denver division, adding that “despite the best efforts of the company and our employees, we have not been able to reposition them to better compete in the market place.” A broker for the trust that owns the Willow Creek Shopping Center, located just north of County Line Road on Quebec Street, said it is too early to tell what the future will bring for the space occupied by the Safeway. On May 13, the Centennial store was marked up with bright orange signs, informing customers of its closing sales. Employee Jennifer Reagan has been with the store for 16 years, she said. “I’m going to miss this store so much,” Reagan said. “I live so close, it’s been easy to get to.” She said there’s been less business in the last few years, and that she has plans to transfer to a store on Arapahoe Road, although her commute will be longer. George and Cheryl Varga of Highlands Ranch were filling up their shopping cart with their favorite Safeway soups — items you can’t get at competing grocers like King Soopers or Walmart, Cheryl said. “We’re very frustrated,” she said. “I’m not happy with this. We moved from Pueblo and that’s all we had there, so that’s what we’re used to.” Varga said instead of closing the store on Quebec, the company should have rebuilt it, or updated it.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE SAFEWAY STORES THAT WILL CLOSE JUNE 13: • 560 Castle Pines Parkway, Castle Pines • 8200 S. Quebec St., Centennial

Blvd., Denver • 7500 S. Pierce St., Littleton (Jefferson

• 22675 East Aurora Parkway, Aurora

County)

• 1730 S. Buckley Road, Aurora

“It’s too old and small,” she said. The Vargas said they’d be following Safeway until the end, no matter where they had to do their shopping.

“I just feel so terrible for these employees,” George Varga said. “People are terrific here, we know many by name, and they know us, too.” Emiliano Dominguez, of Lakewood, agreed and said there are a lot of items at Safeway you can’t get anywhere else. Dominguez lives closer to a King Soopers, but he chooses to shop Safeway because it’s near his work. “Their beer selection is the best; that’s why I come here,” he said. “I’m guessing they just couldn’t pull in the right kind of revenue.” Safeway is making every effort to place store employees affected at other supermarkets, Staaf said. “This was a very difficult decision made after long and careful deliberation,” she said in a news release. “For more than a year, we evaluated these stores extensively and looked at options to improve their performance. Ultimately, our business analysis indicated that we needed to cease operations at these locations.”

Before a standing-room-only crowd of concerned area residents, the Lone Tree City Council unanimously approved Hooters’ liquor-license application May 19. The council showed none of the hesitation some members exhibited during the May 5 meeting, when a motion to approve the license died for lack of a second. The council’s swift action came after comments from numerous people, most of them Centennial residents opposed to the business. Mayor Jim Gunning denied a motion from an attorney representing Centennial’s Willow Creek neighborhood to reopen a public hearing on the application, but allowed people to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting. Several people said they didn’t learn about plans to open the Hooters until after the May 5 meeting. The former TGI Fridays site on Yosemite Street in which Hooters plans to open is across County Line Road from Centennial’s Willow Creek, closer to those homes than to any in Lone Tree. “Nobody knew about the hearing that happened on the fifth,” attorney Neil Lipson said. “We just feel we would like to have been given a chance to speak.” Two petitions circulated in Centennial since the initial meeting gathered 198 signatures against the proposal. Hooters is a national chain famous for its chicken wings and “Hooters Girls” — waitresses who are typically young and lightly attired. Karby Allington-Goldfain was one of two Centennial residents who said they likely wouldn’t have bought their homes if Hooters had been nearby. “I think Lone Tree is a lovely city,” she said. “You have a reputation for the arts and culture. I think Hooters will really bring it down.” Several people urged the council to approve the application. Hooters continues on Page 9

RAISING AWARENESS

From left to right, Nicole Honnen, Michael Stein and Matt Honnen, all of Englewood, walk in support of the National Association of Mental Illnesss at Centennial Center Park on May 16. These three were a part of more than 1,000 who walked the 1 1/2 miles to help raise at least $200,000 for NAMI.

Those who walked in the National Association of Mental Illness walk at Centennial Center Park on May 16 wrote personal testemants as to why they were walking on leafs and attached them to the “Why I Walk Tree.”

More than 1,000 people walked for the cause of mental-health awareness May 16 at Centennial Center Park. In the quest to lessen the stigma of mental-health disorders, the National Alliance on Mental Illness event raised more than $152,000. “This event was to raise awareness about mental health but also to encourage support for everyone,” said Elsa Erickson, director of communications for the NAMI walk. Before the walk, several people on stage spoke to the crowd about their struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts, and they received a roar of applause for their bravery. NAMI volunteers lined the 1 1/2-mile course to hand out water to the walkers and thank everyone for their support of NAMI’s largest fundraiser of the year.

Memorial Day ceremonies planned Littleton, Fort Logan events pay tribute to military veterans By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Littleton Cemetery, Ketring Park and Fort Logan National Cemetery are among the sites hosting Memorial Day events to pay tribute to fallen veterans. The tradition that established the Memorial Day events states the day is meant “to honor all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guard the gates of freedom worldwide.” On May 25, the day’s first Memorial Day ceremony starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans’ Circle at Littleton Cemetery, located at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program, with the El Jebel Pipe Band playing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard firing the traditional 21gun salute.

The all-service honor guard prepares to post the flags during last year’s Memorial Day ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. File photo The ceremonies will include a reading of the poem “In Flanders Fields,” as well as the poem “My Plea” by Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. At 11 a.m. there will be a ceremony near the lake at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. The ceremony is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speakers include Gov. John Hickenlooper

and Lori Amos of the Veterans Health Administration. As part of the ceremonies, a group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker. The honor guard will raise their rifles and fire the 21-gun salute, and taps will

be played on bugle, sending echoes across the gleaming white markers that stand in arrow-straight rows. In the event of bad weather, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan. After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility, two blocks east of Federal Boulevard on Hampden Avenue.

Lawmakers say future unclear for VA hospital Ballooning cost leads to frustration; VA blames flawed design process By Dan Elliott

The Associated Press The chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees said last week the future of an overbudget VA hospital under construction in Aurora is unclear because the Department of Veterans Affairs hasn’t come up with an acceptable plan for funding it. Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida also criticized the VA for not punishing those responsible for the overrun. The rare joint statement shows how unhappy Congress is with the project and with the VA’s response. The hospital is expected to cost more than $1.7 billion, nearly triple an estimate the VA gave last year. Medical equipment, furniture and staff training will cost an additional $340 million, the VA has said. The new facility will replace an aging and crowded one. During a hearing in Colorado last month, Isakson said it “would be a stupid mistake” not to finish the hospital, but his joint statement with Miller contained a warning. “Because of a near complete and total lack of focus on the project at the highest levels of VA and the department’s disregard for congressional oversight, the future of the Denver replacement hospital is unclear,” they said. Three members of Colorado’s congressional delegation said they were also unhappy with the VA’s response, but the hospital must be finished. The statement was released by Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Sen. Cory Gardner and Rep. Mike Coffman, both Republicans. Earlier in the day, a VA official told a House subcommittee — chaired by Coffman — that the department is improperly spending at least $5 billion a year without using the competitive bidding and written contracts required by law. The VA wants to finish the Denver hospital with $730 million from a $5 billion fund that Congress set up to reduce wait times for veterans to get health care. Lawmakers from both parties rejected that plan May 12. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs committee, said it was unacceptable to delay health-care improvements in his state and others to accommodate cost overruns at a single site. The department stuck by the proposal May 14, releasing a statement saying, “Given the fiscal environment, VA believes this is the right choice that will allow for timely completion of the Denver project and the best option for taxpayers.” Isakson and Miller again criticized the VA for not holding anyone accountable for the botched Denver project. The VA blames a flawed design process and other problems for the overruns. The department launched two internal investigations and has promised to punish those responsible for the problems, but no firings have been announced, angering many members of Congress.

Notre Dame student from State health insurance Centennial dies in fall exchange raises fees Associated Press The University of Notre Dame says a 21-year-old student from Colorado who was set to graduate over the weekend died after falling from the roof of the school’s sports arena. William Meckling, of Centennial, was among a group of students who climbed onto the Joyce Center’s roof early May 16. The school says the roof was wet, and Meckling, a Regis Jesuit graduate, fell

shortly before 3:45 a.m. Two students told a campus security officer, who found Meckling unresponsive on the building’s east side near its Gate 7. Meckling was pronounced dead at a hospital. School officials say Meckling was a mechanical engineering major and a member of Notre Dame’s fencing team. Notre Dame President the Rev. John Jenkins said “it is a profound sadness ... to lose someone so young and brimming with promise.”

Shots fired on Parker medical campus Suspect shoots at security guard after being caught breaking into cars Staff report A man confronted while stealing from vehicles at Rocky Vista University in Parker opened fire on a security officer May 18. Police were unable to locate the suspect after the incident, which occurred around 10:15 p.m. May 18 at the medical university on Chambers Road, just north of E-470. He was described as a white or Hispanic male in his 20s, approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, with short hair and wearing dark clothing.

When confronted by the security guard, the suspect fled on foot into the area and shot at the unarmed security guard three times. The security guard was not hit and did not sustain any injuries. A perimeter was established and multiple agencies responded to assist with the search for the suspect. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Units attempted to track the suspect, but were unable to find him. A CodeRed notification was sent out to approximately 2,100 phone lines in the impacted area to inform the residents and businesses of the situation. Police are requesting anyone with information about this case call Parker Police Detective J. Schuster at 303-8056554 or jschuster@parkeronline.org.

RED ROCKS CONCERTS

Assessment for family of four will more than double By Donna Bryson Associated Press

The board of directors of Colorado’s health insurance exchange has raised fees that will be passed on to consumers as it and other states face decreased federal funding and struggle to predict enrollment figures. The hike in administrative fees to 3.5 percent from 1.4 percent of premiums means a family of four paying monthly premiums of $1,000 would see its assessment more than double from $14 a month to $35. Connect for Health Colorado chief executive officer Kevin Patterson said last week they chose the middle of three options presented by staff, one that brings Colorado, which had had among the lowest assessments fees in the nation, in line with the federal exchange’s fee. “They didn’t feel like it was the right time to go above what the federal exchange was charging,’’ Patterson said. “There are some things we need to prove to the public.” Shoppers have encountered frustrating delays on the exchange. Patterson himself said he thought it took too long at 20 minutes for him to buy a policy on the site. Patterson was Gov. John Hickenlooper’s chief administrative officer before being named Connect for Health’s CEO last month. He is the exchange’s third leader since it was established under the Affordable Care Act, and he said he would like the job permanently. A limited state audit report of Connect for Health in December said financial controls were inadequate and more than $30 million in payments and contracts lacked proper documentation or procedural controls. State lawmakers have called for broader reviews. Still, Colorado’s problems have been less severe than those associated with other exchanges. Deborah Bachrach, a lawyer and former Medicaid director for the New York State Department of Health who now advises states on federal health reform, said that while consumers now might be concerned by rising fees, the goal was to improve the ex-

changes’ ability to enroll more people who need health insurance. Some states are already seeing more plans coming onto the market. “More enrollees bring in more issuers. More issuers bring in more competition, which should bring premium costs down over time,’’ she said. Federal grants that helped more than a dozen states start their own insurance marketplaces are starting to run out, researchers Sean Miskell and Justin Giovannelli of Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms said in an interview last week. Many, like Colorado, are considering raising fees. Some, like Rhode Island, are requesting state funding, a step Patterson said Colorado is not taking. Others, like Hawaii and Vermont, are looking to cut costs by transferring some of their operations, such as online platforms, to the federal government. Giovannelli said that when the exchanges began, officials could only guess how many people would enroll and where they should set their assessment rates. Now, after two enrollment periods, the facts needed to shape business decisions are becoming clearer. “People always say the government should be more like private business,’’ Miskell said. “But the flip side of that is, sometimes, private businesses fail.’’ Miskell said that with so much invested already in the Affordable Care Act, he is not concerned any exchange will fail. In Colorado, Patterson’s board last week also increased a flat monthly fee charged on all private policies sold in the state from $1.25 to $1.80. That affects about 1.2 million policies. Patterson added that his exchange, which currently gets no federal reimbursement for helping applicants sign up for Medicaid, was now seeking such support. As a first step, Patterson’s staff must determine how many of the people who come to his assistance network, brokers, website and customer service center are advised they qualify and go on to receive public insurance. Consultant Bachrach said Colorado is among several states that did not initially focus on the extent to which their exchange staff and technology would be working to help people sign up for Medicaid.

Sheridan officers worked with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and the Denver Police Fugitive Unit to locate the suspect at a Denny’s restaurant near Hampden Avenue and Benhmida Wadsworth Boulevard in Lakewood. He was taken into custody without resistance. Jacobs worked for Englewood Schools for 29 years, mostly as a bus driver, retiring in 2011. Recently, he worked part time for the Sheridan School District.

CONVENIENCE!

Not a Krispy Kreme fan? Or just need some variety in your doughnut diet? Check out Mr. Donuts on Maximus Drive just west of Yosemite Street in Lone Tree. Owned by Centennial residents Soon Lee and Myung Kim, the shop features Texas-style doughnuts, pastries and some limited lunch items. Lee and Kim are originally from South Korea, and they moved from there to Texas, where they learned to make doughnuts. “A lot of customers come by and they say Mr. Donuts are better than Krispy Kremes,” said family member Saeahra Lee. Mr. Donuts is located at 8854 Maximus Drive, in the space briefly occupied by Arch Pizza. The pizza company, which opened the Lone Tree site in December 2013, closed all three of its Denver-area locations in late 2014.

VOICES

LOCAL

In some cases, it’s all about the ownership Last week I attended and participated in a leadership retreat. There were many agenda items and topics that were covered over two days, but one topic really caught my attention: ownership. As I took part in the conversation and worked through the exercise of who owns specific responsibilities and functions within an organization I couldn’t help but think about how I think about ownership in my personal life as well. So even though ownership should be fairly obvious in the business world as roles and responsibilities, job descriptions and organizational charts help to define who in the company owns a specific function, many times true ownership slips through the cracks. Or worse, sometimes in a company or organization ownership often gets overlooked as we all too often play the blame game. It is always easier to deflect a poor outcome or a missed goal on another department or person in the company instead of owning it and being held accountable for delivering results. Another reason that ownership and accountability come in second place behind excuse-making is that managers fail to inspect what they expect. And when this happens, the tendency is for people to take

shortcuts, fall short on quality, and ultimately miss expected deliverables and goals. Now what about our personal lives? What happens when there is no company or organization or manager to hold us accountable for doing the things we Michael Norton want to do, should do, and even have to do? WINNING Are we owning it? I think for some WORDS people it is just as easy to point to other people, circumstances and events as a reason or excuse for not meeting a specific goal or following through on a project or commitment instead of owning it themselves. Some companies meet with success in spite of themselves, but truly successful companies excel when it comes to accountability and ownership. So what would happen if we excelled at owning it in our personal lives too? I mean, some of us get away with winging it or flying by the seat of our pants and cruise under the account-

ability radar and still find a way to succeed. Could be short-term success, but some of us find a way to get by. But what I am talking about is truly owning it, and by “it” I mean all the things that we set our mind on, all of our relationships, commitments, hobbies and projects that we endeavor to pursue. In the absence of anyone else holding us accountable, can we inspect what we expect from ourselves? Maybe you are more of the Nike kind of person and “just do it.” But there is a difference between the Nike tagline, “Just Do It,” and owning it. They are certainly complementary because when we have the “owning it” part internalized, the “doing it” part will surely follow. So how are you doing when it comes to owning it? Whether it’s personally or professionally, and if you have any questions about how to “own it,” I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we live up to “owning it,” 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.

Assessing the real worth of advice No one wants to pay too much for anything. We think we need to get things “on sale” to get a good deal. However, when it comes to services of any kind, it can be a challenge to calculate the value for the cost, much less find a sale. The last time I got estimates for house painting or tree trimming, I was stunned. By the time you find someone reputable to do the work and make sure you get the best quality, the idea of a sale is long gone. Assessing value for any service is difficult, yet when it comes to financial advice, good service can be invaluable if it creates a better future. Investments are an item that you purchase for a cost. Here it makes sense to try and find a sale. On the other hand, financial advice is a service and you want the most reputable and the best quality firm you can find. An objective advisor is crucial for the more intrinsic value items such as achieving your personal goals. It is important to understand what advice costs, but it may be difficult to assess the value if you don’t realize what all the benefits are. One good example of this is a comment from the famous mutual fund manager Peter Lynch, who managed the Fidelity Magellan fund for years. Between 1977 and 1990, Lynch averaged a 29.2 percent annual return, consistently more than doubling the S&P 500 index and making it the bestperforming mutual fund in the world. He was concerned that the average investor in his fund during that period of time actually lost money. This occurred due to poor investor behavior, jumping in and out of the fund

at the wrong times. However, investors working with advisors are less likely to make short-term trades that ruin long-term goals. The difference in these long-term returns is hard to put a price tag on. When an investor looks back over sevPatricia Kummer eral years of performance, it is virtually FINANCIAL to guess STRATEGIES impossible if they would have stayed the course without an advisor or not. Returns are just one of the components of a good investment experience. Addressing your goals and reducing risk through an optimum mix of holdings is even more difficult. Knowing when to make changes in your positions and where to take tax-efficient distributions is very challenging. Taking profits and buying the underdog is naturally uncomfortable and therefore best left to an objective party. And keeping an eye on different markets around the world is very time-consuming. Offering these services along with wading through research and analysts’ reports is more than a full-time job. I am not sure how you put a price tag on these types of services that can make or break your future. However, it is important to understand what you are paying for, and therefore transparency is crucial in the

financial arena today. Work with a registered investment advisor as they offer full disclosure on any fees associated with their services. The latest headline in financial advertising is something called a robo advisor. This is a computer that buys positions for you, which of course will be less expensive than personal advice. However, removing the relationship and the understanding of goals is what caused the Magellan investors to lose money during 13 stellar years. There will be no one to counsel investors when times get difficult. I personally would not want a computer dictating what I should be invested in, but cost-conscious people will be attracted to this until the next market correction. Take the time to build a relationship with your advisor and understand what fees you are paying and what services you are entitled to. Rely on them as a ready source of unbiased information that empowers you to make good decisions. Then you could be getting the best deal of the century.

Accusations have power, true or false There is a knock on the door. Two men in uniforms are standing outside, and one says, “You’re under arrest.” “What for?” “You know what you have done.” But you don’t know. It’s one of my worst nightmares. Variations of it have happened, just not the arrest part. Being wrongly accused happens all of the time, in life and in fiction. The best example in fiction might be Franz Kafka’s novel “The Trial.” A man is arrested and never told why, and readers never find out why either. At least Alfred Hitchcock explained things. One of Hitchcock’s central themes was the wrong man. In film after film, a man is accused and sought for something he didn’t do. “The 39 Steps” is a favorite of mine. Of course “North by Northwest,” and even

Craig Marshall Smith

QUIET DESPERATION

“The Wrong Man.” I was watching Dr. Phil. (No comments.) A man was trying to prove his innocence. It was difficult to watch because everything was against him. I thought of “The Trial,” and my own experiences. The biggest was a 1963 murder case that involved me. Some people in Ohio, where it happened, thought

I did it. The case went to trial in 2001, and the defendant was found not guilty. Many years later, a Colorado man thought

he had figured everything out, and accused me. It was libelous. I’ll save all of that for another day. Some college students like to make things up about their teachers. Disgruntled students can turn the department into “The Children’s Hour” just by going to the dean’s office. My hour was in 1984. I was called to the dean’s office, and I asked why. He said, “You know what you have done.” Out of respect for the dead, I won’t tell you what I thought of him that day, or what I still think of him today. What I have been through could have been a lot worse. The wrong man is released from a prison somewhere almost every week. There are many new technologies that weren’t available to investigators years ago. Smith continues on Page 9

MAD Greens comes to Lone Tree

Centennial Citizen 9

Colorado company’s newest location is in RidgeGate Shopping Center By Jane Reuter | jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

MAD Greens cofounders Marley Hodgson and Dan Long were shocked by the lack of quick, healthy food available in Colorado when they moved here in 1991. They decided to do something about it, and they struck an instant chord with health-focused Coloradans while also landing on forefront of the healthy eating revolution. Now entering its second decade of business, MAD Greens, which operates more than a dozen locations, recently opened a restaurant in Lone Tree at 10002 Common St., near Sprouts in RidgeGate’s Lincoln Commons Shopping Center. Snooze will open in the space next door in late June. The “MAD” in the restaurant’s name comes from “Marley and Dan,” New York City natives who’ve known one another since first grade. “Both our moms were great cooks, so good food was sort of engrained in us,” Hodgson said.

Michele Myers of Castle Rock offers her son Abraham, 2, some MAD Greens juice while the two wait in line to eat at the new Lone Tree restaurant May 14.

Their philosophy: Good food doesn’t need to be serious or expensive. “Eating should be fun,” Long said. To that end and in keeping with the restaurant’s name, they name their items after people who were famously mad. Thus: the Mad Molly Brown and Ty Cobb salads, and Annie Oakley sandwich among others.

Hooters Continued from Page 1

“I’m disappointed and somewhat surprised the council hasn’t approved the Hooters application,” said Lone Tree resident Bill Robertson. “They offer a nice family restaurant and the atmosphere you may be concerned about is really no big deal.” “I completely sympathize,” said Lynette

Smith Continued from Page 8

I watch “Forensic Files.” One man was imprisoned for 16 years for a crime he didn’t commit. The man on Dr. Phil looked guilty. It bothered me that I thought he looked guilty, without knowing the whole story. Did I think that Drew Peterson looked guilty, or that Casey Anthony looked guilty? Peterson is handsome and Anthony is attractive. This man wasn’t handsome. His eyes looked too intense, and his mannerisms were unusual. I am sure I would have looked like a zombie if that had been me. The man took a polygraph test. Dr. Phil told him the results on camera. The man’s wife, who believed in him just like Jerry Sandusky’s wife believes in Sandusky, was sitting next to him.

Employees at Lone Tree’s new MAD Greens restaurant worked furiously during the May 14 grand opening to keep up with a ceaseless flow of customers. The company offers free salad on its opening days. Photos by Jane Reuter Their food: Some of their produce comes from MAD Greens’ own small farm near Denver International Airport. Though the company plans to open its first out-of-state restaurants later this year, Hodgson and Long say they won’t lose their dedication to quality and freshness. “We never want to compromise the quality to grow quickly,” Hodgson said.

Grundvig, but she added, “Too frequently when politics and government is involved, it restricts voices to the voices of a few.” An attorney explained the legal guidelines for consideration of a liquor license, noting the needs and desires of the neighborhood only apply to the liquor license itself, not the type of business or its name. Lone Tree Hooters Inc., which has signed a 10-year lease for the site, is renovating the building and could open as soon as next month.

He had been accused of sexually molesting his grandson. I thought, “This is not a good idea,” and, “Why am I watching this?” Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? Have you ever taken the fall for something you didn’t do, to spare someone else? Someone else or something else is very often blamed. It’s human nature. “He did it!” That has become more difficult, now that there are cameras everywhere. A life can be ruined or ended by a handful of hurtful words and misdirected accusations. The Salem witch trials resulted in the executions of 20 people, most of them women. Dr. Phil said, very slowly, that the man’s answers on the polygraph test were “deceptive.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU If you would like to share your opinion, visit our website at www.coloradocommunitymedia.com or write a letter to the editor. Include your name, full address and the best telephone number to contact you. Send letters to letters@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

What they love about Lone Tree: “The amount of growth here is just spectacular,” Long said. “With Schwab and Sky Ridge, this area’s got a great day office population and evening residential population.” Want to know more? Visit www. madgreens.com.

Her paintings are in several collections, including: Kirkland Museum, Loveland Museum, Rhode Island Historical Society, New Mexico’s St. Francis Hotel in Santa Fe, the Brown Palace, Denver Public Library, Cornell University, Kaiser Permanente and the city of Littleton. A passionate plein air artist, derjue works by instinct while referencing the land. Her signature style balances representation and abstraction.

Sana Hamelin, owner of The Denver Cat Company, Denver’s only cat-friendly cafe, was served a legal hair ball May 7 by a customer claiming that one of the resident felines bit her hand in Penny Parker February, according to a story on MILE HIGH the Eater Denver LIFE website (www. denver.eater. com). “After it became apparent that the alleged cat bite was causing a stir, Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, the original cat adoption partner, terminated its business dealings with the cat cafe,” according to the Eater story. “Since then, For the Love of Paws and Planet Pet stepped in to provide kitties for adoption at this feline-friendly spot.” Hamelin took to Facebook to plead her case to fans. The post said: “Guys, I’m having a very hard time. Although I’m working, all I can do is serve customers and then take breaks to cry. … For some perspective on how hard this solitary endeavor of starting and running this rescue effort has been for me, consider that I drive a wreck of a truck that I got off Craigslist and I shivered through the whole winter because it doesn’t have heat (and now I’ll sweat through the whole summer because it doesn’t have A/C either). I never have a weekend off, I live in a tiny apartment, and I haven’t taken a vacation in over three years. I’m tired.” You can donate by going to www. denvercatco.com/donate/, or use the Go Fund Me site at www.gofundme. com/u3kd7g8.

• The new addition is the Victory Garden Market at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, across from the Goodson Recreation Center at 6400 S. University Blvd. in Centennial, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday through Oct. 30. Among the goods offered are honey, tomatoes, olives, grass-fed beef and Yampa Valley Sauces. • There is a Saturday farmers market, open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. or sell-out, running through Oct. 31 at Southwest Plaza, 8501 W. Bowles Ave., west of Littleton. • Each Sunday offers the Highlands

Ranch Farmers’ and Street Market, open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. or sell-out, running through Nov. 1 at Highlands Ranch Town Center, 9288 Dorchester St. • There is a Wednesday farmers market, open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. or sell-out, running from June 17 to Oct. 28 at Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center, 7301 S.

The power of big flower

Price Davis, Denver-based master craftsman and artist, recently installed the Denver Lily, a nearly 30-foot-tall sculpture, at Denver International Airport. The three-piece, three-story sculpture, comprised of a base, flower pot and a stemmed flower with pod and leaves, is made of hand-forged sheets of steel that were stained and powdercoated. The sculpture is part of Davis’ “Global Peace Through Art” initiative. “We must celebrate the skilled artists that bring us beauty in our everyday lives. Art should inspire and take into consideration the diversity of its viewers,” Davis said about the initiative. The lily, a symbol of relationships and friendship, will welcome travelers to DIA through July.

video games, family fun and spectacular vocalists. The Colorado Symphony collaborates once more with some of the country’s biggest and brightest talent at Red Rocks, the Arvada Center, Fiddler’s Green and Boettcher Concert Hall for a summer of live music suited for taste. Five concerts highlight the virtuosity of the Colorado Symphony musicians at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this season: Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian open the season in June, followed by the duo of Ben Folds and Ingrid Michaelson. July features the Colorado Symphony’s and DeVotchKa’s annual collaboration, with special guest Kishi Bashi. The Colorado Symphony rounds out August with international sensation Video Games Live and Diana Krall featuring Pink Martini. The season also showcases a star-studded Fourth of July conducted by Colorado Symphony Music Director Andrew Litton; a family-focused afternoon of music, “Inspired by Nature”; a costume-friendly night of the Music of Harry Potter; and a season-closing Rodgers & Hammerstein Celebration at

Boettcher Concert Hall, which will be Scott O’Neil’s final performance as resident conductor. For more information on the summer series, review the summer brochure: http:// issuu.com/coloradosymphony/docs/symphonysummer or visit www.coloradosymphony.org.

Briarwood hires new chef

Lisa Paterson, owner of The Briarwood Inn, a Colorado fine dining restaurant since 1979, has announced that the restaurant is launching a new phase with the hiring of Chef Jeff Jones, previously executive chef of Parallel 17. Paterson, daughter of Reid Pasko, the original owner of the Briarwood Inn, leads operations and Duncan Newman will continue to serve as the general manager. Together the new management team will pilot the next phase of the 285-seat fine dining restaurant, which will focus on a chef-driven concept that stays true to its roots while evolving with the Colorado dining scene. Most recently, the Briarwood Inn has introduced a 175-seat garden terrace and patio area. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, with six years of Colorado restaurant experience, Jones will revamp the menu to focus on locally sourced and seasonally focused menu

items. “The Briarwood Inn is a Colorado institution and I’m honored to have been brought on as a part of this family,” Jones said. “This restaurant has a rich history of being one of Denver metro’s finest dining establishments and I’m looking forward to creating dishes and experiences for new and familiar faces.” A new menu is expected to launch this summer. The Briarwood Inn is nestled in the foothills of Golden at 1630 Eighth St.

THEY SAID IT: UNIQUE – “Because we have a pretty diverse class as far as where everybody is going after graduation. There are even a lot of kids going to other countries.” — Tori Allen, Littleton High School

DETERMINED – “Our students work so hard both in the classroom and on the field. We are constantly looking ahead to be as successful as possible.” — Walker Crowley, Cherry Creek High School

RELENTLESS – “We faced so many challenges and changes but we stayed positive and succeeded.” — Dolly Ostrowski, Englewood High School

RIDICULOUS – “Both good and bad. We’ve been one of the rowdiest classes but also one of the smartest.” — Kelly Gold, Highlands Ranch High School

TOGETHER – “Our class song is ‘We’re all in This Together.’ It’s fitting because at Legend, we really are a family.” — Zach Lyman, Legend High School

RESILIENT – “Through the class of 2015’s four years at Chaparral, seven members of the Chaparral family have passed away… rather than falling to the struggle or the pain, the class of 2015 came together and rose up to support those in need…” — Cara Redalen, Chaparral High School

My favorite part of high school was getting involved with the visual arts program here at Creek. My proudest moment came when I was asked to become part of a small team of art students to create a mural of the NBC logo for the station in Denver.

I was president of Fellowship of Christian Athletes here at my school this year, which helped form many incredible relationships.

I like to dance a lot, and it’s important because that’s when I feel like myself. What was the best thing about high school? Watching myself grow up, and how much different I am now than I was sophomore year. There’s not just a single event that was the best thing.

Quilters piece together good times

Highlands Ranch group meets twice each month

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com

The Highlands Ranch Quilting Bee, organized in 1995, is a unit — a “bee” — under the umbrella of the large Arapahoe County Quilters Guild. The guild has a “beekeeper” who helps newcomers find the bee most suitable for them in terms of time and location of meetings. The Highlands Ranch Quilting Bee meets twice a month at the Jamie Larue Highlands Ranch Library’s Shea Meeting Room, on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Prospective members are welcome. (Contact founding member Lanie Tiffenbach, 303-791-0086, tiffenbach@comcast.net.) In addition to creating quilts for family, congenial members create a number of charity quilts to give in the community. In early June, a group of colorful baby quilts

will be presented to the neonatal unit at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. Scraps for these donated quilts come from members and the community. During our visit to an April meeting, members laughingly agreed that “people dump fabrics on our doorsteps!” Meetings alternate between demonstrations of technique and design and what they call “work sessions” — which we visited. Sewing machines were ready to piece and members conferred with a member who was placing pieces on a wall, debating about the best arrangement of blocks and binding for the edges of her quilt-to-be. Another member, Deanna Joplin, had brought a work in progress to stitch on, in a pattern called “twisted windmill,” stretched in a quilter’s hoop. The walls and tables were covered with an array of quilts large and small — a most happy place to spend an afternoon, as well as a spot for conversation about new ideas and techniques. These women gather to stitch and talk with each other just as their grandmothers did a century ago, treasuring the social as-

Jane Nelson shows a reproduction of the “twisted windmill” pattern; Lanie Tiffenbach and JoAnn Foster hold up children’s quilts that will be donated to the Sky Ridge Medical Center neonatal unit. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe pect of the quilting bee. In 1998, a group of members made three smaller quilts to decorate the new Highlands Ranch Library, before it was completed, making 45 individual like-sized blocks from various patterns, with a unifying blue order. Current members of the Highlands Ranch Quilting Bee, from Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Parker, Denver

and Lakewood, are: Margarita Bosch, Lanie Tiffenbach, Charlotte Updike, Deanna Joplin, Alma Lee, Karen Chomyak, M’Liss Hunter, Jean Gibson, Sandy Honan, Robbie Steinberg, Meg Dalton, Elizabeth Bradac, Lynn Emch, JoAnn Foster, Nancy Lothringer, Kat Lents, Brenda Oenbring, Jane Nelson, Penny Stanaford, Christina Manthey and Nancy Montague.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ a can’t-miss thrill

New film lives up to power of iconic series

By Lindsey Bahr

Associated Press

The silences in “Mad Max: Fury Road” are unsettling. The moments are few and infrequent, but it’s not until the fiery roar of the engines and the thrashing of the guitars are suddenly stripped away that you can fully feel how deeply the film has flooded your being. The theater — and your heart — pulsate with the lack as you recover and wait for more. It’s in the silences that director George Miller’s singular genius becomes evident, and for good reason: It’s the only time the film allows you to breathe. Thirty years after Miller gave the world “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” he’s returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that’s primed to become a modern classic.

IF YOU GO “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of violence throughout, and for disturbing images.” Running time: 120 minutes. Four stars out of four.

In this anarchic world, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in the prologue, he’s a man whose past traumas have reduced him to a single instinct: survival. Max’s only humanity seems to be in his haunting visions of a child asking for protection. Otherwise, he’s gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesn’t so much speak. He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom. But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the warlords of the wasteland put a fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a hood ornament to chase after the rogue Furiosa (Charlize Theron). She’s managed to

escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played Toecutter in “Mad Max”). Much of the film is spent with the women, and eventually Max, on the rig as they race across the desert away from the painted fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking redemption for untold sins, has made it her purpose to bring the wives to “the green place” — an idyllic haven she was taken from as a child. The wives, played by Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee, Courtney Eaton and Zoe Kravitz, are all ethereal, spiritual beauties. Though physically perfect and visibly unmarked by the harsh conditions of the land, as Immortan Joe’s property, their collective trauma is more insidious. When they fight back and jump in to help their more grizzled and skilled travel mates, they do so without fear or hesitation. Looking almost sturdy in comparison, it is Theron who steals the show as the steelyeyed, one-armed, and aptly named Furiosa. Her fierce and unwavering commitment to her self-assigned mission propels

the sparse narrative and invigorates those around her, when death often seems like not just the easier option, but probably the more appealing one, too. Painted and scarred to the point of disguise, Nicholas Hoult is also a standout as Nux, an unlucky, but endearingly devoted Immortan Joe foot soldier who delivers on one of the few actual character arcs of the film. Ultimately, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is almost aggressively anti-character, though. The dialogue is beautifully lean and purposeful, allowing what does exist to have maximum impact. For Theron and Hardy, their triumphant performances are in their eyes. In the end, it is the bright, fresh visuals juxtaposed with the impressively choreographed and always surprising action and pacing that make the film. Cinematographer John Seale (“The English Patient”) has infused the barren landscape with a feast of striking, saturated colors, while Miller has made a two-hour race across the desert into a truly riveting must-see and see again.

National park’s centennial year celebrated

Mountain gem got its start from Coloradans’ efforts

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado

d communitymedia.com n e In late April, the Colorado Mountain Club, 103 years old, celebrated its strongly influential role in establishing Rocky Moun-tain National Park by planning special hikes during the centennial year. The club is leading 100-mile hike packages and a series of wildflower hikes in RMNP this year, according to CMC commusnications/marketing associate Jeff Golden. -Members can sign up to accumulate 100 dmiles of hiking within the park during the year, and the organization will help lead )shorter wildflower hikes for members and apark visitors at various locations. e Information on wildflower hikes will be savailable at the east and west park entry points, according to CMC volunteer Linda Lawson, of Greenwood Village. Lawson’s special centennial year contributions include a talk on how founding mountain club members, including Enos Mills, helped to establish the park’s existence. Others involved included Roger Toll, who was superintendent of Yellowstone and Mount Rainier national parks and Carl Blaurock, who with William Ervin was first

Fashion in Lone Tree The Lone Tree Arts Center Guild will hold its annual Fashion Show, “Discover the Beauty of Summer,” from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on June 3 at LTAC, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Fashions will be provided by Sundance at Park Meadows and will include

to climb all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks, according to a History Colorado release. The CMC is housed in the historic former Golden High School, which also functions as the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The History Colorado Center has a new exhibit on the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park and encourages visits to the Mountaineering Museum.

Local efforts led to park

Lawson is co-chair of the mountain club’s Centennial Committee and is presenting information to groups throughout Colorado, with illustrations. She begins with the story of the aforementioned Enos Mills, an Estes Park resident who had been lecturing about the area’s wonderful features and history for a number of years. In 1909 the name “Estes Park Improvement Association” was preferred over “Estes Valley Game Preserve.” “At this point, there were already 12 national parks,” Lawson said. In 1911, Mills wrote to prominent Coloradan James Grafton Rogers, president of the American Alpine Club, about starting a Colorado Mountain Club, which Rogers agreed to undertake “as soon as the climbers return to town.” In April 1912 his first invitation yielded seven responses, followed by an announcement in the local newspaper. Twenty-five showed up and signed as

charter members. They started to educate the public with lectures, walks and longer outings and Mills initially proposed a park of 1,000 square miles stretching from Pikes Peak to the Estes Valley (later reduced). The first draft of a bill sent to Congress met with no action in 1913, and a Rocky Mountain National Park Committee was appointed to help with Congress. They made lantern slide presentations and went to the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming (in Stanley Steamers, Lawson said) to interview tribal elders who had lived in the Estes Valley area about specific place names. The bill was redrafted and the area downsized to 379 square miles when the sixth revision was submitted in August 1914. On Jan. 26, 1915, it passed the Senate and was signed into law. Lawson said she came from Iowa and Oklahoma with energy company business experience and found the Colorado Mountain Club when she moved to Colorado.

Hikes near 100-mile total

In this “Year of the Mountaineer,” the club will coordinate members’ 100 miles of hikes, visits to 100 of 125 peaks, and special wildflower hikes with Plant Masters, which are open to physically fit park visitors. Ownership of a year-round cabin in Allenspark, a small town bordering Rocky Mountain National Park’s eastern edge, means that hiking in the park is very much

Sheep shearing

Although the Littleton Museum’s April Fiber Festival was canceled due to inclement weather, the sheep must still be sheared, now that they have hopefully dried their coats. It is scheduled for about 10 a.m. to noon on May 23, for those who want to watch, although the related programs will have to wait until 2016. Littleton Museum is

a way of life for glass artist Sally Van Der Kamp and her husband, residents of Centennial. They recently tallied up their miles for the past year and found they are both close to the 100-mile goal they set in 2014 to honor the park’s centennial year. “We started when we saw the suggestion on Facebook,” she said, and they have hiked through the winter with snow shoes and/ or cleats. Winter is her husband’s favorite time. “It makes you feel rough and rustic.” Does Van Der Kamp have a favorite hike? “That’s like asking a parent to name a favorite child,” she replied. They have enjoyed new hiking buddies and will probably finish the 100 miles in late May or early June. They need to agree on a really special spot for attaining the 100-mile mark: “Twin Sisters for sunrise or Bluebird Lake in August” (though not in the one-year time frame) for wildflowers. They are recreational hikers, she said, and she is keeping a photo chronicle/journal. “We started out on a three mile hike and ended up covering nine miles …” A member of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, she exhibits her art at the Depot Art Gallery. It is stained and fused glass, which sometime incorporates broken glass pieces she finds in the mountains, as well as branches from their property. “We won’t stop at 100 miles,” she concluded.

The words of the songs were often stories from the Bible that told about freedom and a hope for a better future. The influence of the spirituals became the basis for the blues. Born out of African rhythms and combined with instrumentation the blues are about personal struggle and perseverance, and have become an expression of cultural and political rebellion.

Spy plane crew to share Temple Grandin highlights conference stories, raise awareness By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Staff report Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research will host an evening with spy plane pilot Brian Shul and navigator Walter Watson. The event, which will raise money for pancreatic cancer research, will be at 6 p.m. May 28 at The Lone Tree Arts Center. A silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will precede the presentation. Shul and Watson will tell stories of their time flying the SR-71 Blackbird and speak on their best-selling book “The Untouchables.” As an SR-71 crew, Shul and Watson flew covert missions for four years, providing President Ronald Reagan with valuable reconnaissance during the Libyan crisis in 1986 and becoming the only

SR-71 crew ever to fly three missions in three days. Only 93 Air Force pilots flew the SR-71, which served as the country’s premier spy plane for 25 years. Watson was the only African-American officer in Air Force history to become a part of the SR-71 program, while Shul, after his plane went down in Vietnam, spent a year in a burn hospital, recovered, and went on to pass the astronaut physical required to pilot the plane that flew above 90 percent of the earth’s atmosphere. Wings of Hope is a nonprofit organization that was launched in 2012 by the founding mayor of Castle Pines, Maureen Shul, after losing her brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of one another.

Temple Grandin is the keynote speaker for Delta Kappa Gamma’s June 5-7 convention at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree. Grandin, a Colorado State University animal science professor and autism activist, will make a 7 p.m. June 5 presentation at the hotel. Tickets for the evening are $25 per person, or $60 for a group ticket for up to four people. Diagnosed with autism at the age of 2, Grandin believes the best way to help those with autism is through early intervention and supportive teachers. She also is a bestselling author and a highly regarded animal behavior consultant. Much of her work has focused on humane handling of livestock. After studying the reactions of cattle to ranchers, movements, objects and light, she designed curved corrals to reduce stress, panic and injury in animals

that are being led to slaughter. She was the subject of a 2010 biographical film, and was listed in Time Magazine’s 2010 list of the most influential people in the world in the “Heroes” category. To purchase tickets for the Grandin presentation, visit grandin.eventzilla.net. Grandin highlights the weekend event, which focuses on different styles of learning. Guest speakers will talk on a variety of subjects related to that theme throughout the weekend. The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is a professional honorary society of women educators promoting international excellence in education. The Grandin event is open to the public. The conference is limited to Delta Kappa Gamma Society members. For more information about the conference, visit go to sites.google.com/site/ omegastatecolorado.

Creek claims lacrosse crown Goaltender wins second state championship with second team By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Senior goaltender Benton Adams was an emotional wreck after Cherry Creek’s 13-9 victory over Regis Jesuit in the Class 5A state championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Adams played five games for Regis in the 2014 season, and he was on the team that defeated the Bruins in the state title game. He transferred to Cherry Creek and was one of the leaders who helped Creek end a three-season championship-game losing streak with the win over the defending champion Raiders. “It was the most emotional win that I’ve ever had,” said Adams. “Just the whole day, the whole week was emotional. It’s been up and down, and just keeping the level head is what I tried to do the whole time. “Regis is a heck of a team, and the best I’ve ever played against. I played for them last year, and I know how hard they work,” Adams added. “It was a well-fought battle on both sides, throwing punches each way. It felt great to win. but I couldn’t have done this without my teammates. Cherry Creek is the best team I’ve ever played for, the best family I’ve ever had. They have taken me in as a brother.” The May 15 championship game was the Bruins’ second win this season over the Raiders, as Creek captured its fifth state title since the sport was sanctioned by the CHSAA in 1999. The Bruins won seven state championships in the Rocky Mountain High School Lacrosse Association before lacrosse was recognized by the CHSAA. Cherry Creek finished with a 19-1 record, and the Bruins’ lone loss was an 8-7 road setback to Summit, N.J. Key moments: Cherry Creek took a 7-2 halftime lead, but Regis clawed back three times to pull within two goals; each time,

Cherry Creek’s Jack Calderone (10) knocks the ball loose from Regis Jesuit’s Alec Barnes during the May 15 state championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Cherry Creek won 13-9 to cap off a season in which they did not lose to an in-state opponent. Photo by Paul DiSalvo the Bruins responded with a goal of their own. Senior Maxwell Tennant scored two of those key goals, and sophomore Asher Nolting collected the third. “I didn’t think about that when I was shooting,” said Tennant. “I just aimed for the back of the net.” Senior Mike Morean noted that the Bruins needed those goals. “We knew they were going to have a run of goals and come back,” he said. “We had to be resilient and hold them off, and that’s what we did. That’s what a championship

team does.” Key players/statistics: Tennant had four goals for the Bruins, and Morean and Zachary Gradio each tallied two. They said it: “They came out like bulldogs in the third quarter, but we embraced it,” said Adams. “We bent, but we didn’t break. Our coaches held us together and reminded us what we were working for.” “We didn’t think about the last three years at all,” confessed Tennant about the Bruins’ previous runner-up finishes. “We came together as a team and forgot about

everything that happened in the past.” “I would like to set a standard,” said Morean, who was a starter on Creek’s state championship football team. “Winning in football was amazing, and then finishing up my senior year with this team and to finally get a state championship after four years of trying made it all that much better.” “It was a great season,” said Creek coach Bryan Perry. “It was pretty dang emotional to win the state championship. I hate to think of no practice. I’d like to keep this group together and go play somebody else.”

Bruins waltz to another tennis title

Cherry Creek has won 19 championships in a row

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com

Cherry Creek’s girls tennis team lined up and danced prior to the start of the Class 5A state tournament finals May 13 at the Gates Tennis Center. Creek entered the final day of the tourney with a 12-point lead in the team standings over Fairview and needed only one win to secure the Bruins’ 19th consecutive state tournament title. Any hope of Fairview somehow pulling off a miracle comeback was dashed early when Bruins freshman Anshika Singh quickly defeated the Knights’ Natalie Munson, 6-0, 6-0, to secure the title while the other six matches involving Creek players were still undecided. “I played really well, focused, and that’s

what I needed to do,” said Singh. “Sometimes I have a mental block and it was good for me to stay focused today. We just choreographed the dance and did it. It was more for fun than to relieve the tension.” Cherry Creek was matched against Fairview in five championship matches, and won three of them plus another at the No. 4 doubles against a Ralston Valley duo to swell their state championship winning streak. The Bruins wound up with 87 points compared to 67 for runner-up Fairview. In 1996, Grand Junction was crowned the state champion, which was the last year that the Creek girls didn’t take home the title. The Bruins have won 33 state championships and have matched the boys’ 19year state title-winning streak that was accomplished between 1972 and 1990. However, a championship reign could add pressure to an already pressurized sport. So the Bruins don’t talk much about their victory skein. “It’s a huge pressure, and I’m amazed

Cherry Creek tennis players do a dance prior to the start of the May 13 finals. Photo by Jim Benton how well the girls handled that pressure,” said Creek coach Christin Jacob. “We try to make it about the 11 players that are on the team this year as opposed to that streak of 19. “We tried as much as possible to focus on this year. But they knew that legacy and that streak and this one matches the boys’

streak, which was a big deal for us.” Besides Singh, junior Gloria Son captured the No. 3 singles title. Jessica Murphy and Mariela Hollines were the No. 2 doubles champs and Hannah Peterson and Allison Murphy captured the No. 4 doubles Tennis continues on Page 26

SPORTS ROUNDUP Girls Soccer

ThunderRidge 4, Cherry Creek 1 Cherry Creek matched ThunderRidge for the first 55 minutes of their quarterfinal match, but three goals by the Grizzlies in the final 25 minutes ended the Bruins season on May 13. Cherry Creek finishes the season with 13 wins, the most wins in a season since the state championship-winning team in 2012.

Boys Lacrosse

Cherry Creek 13, Regis Jesuit 10 - The fourth time was the charm for the Bruins as they shook off the ghosts of three straight state runner-up finishes to defeat Regis Jesuit and win the Class 5A boys lacrosse state championship on May 15. The state championship is the fifth in program history, tying Kent Denver for the most all-time for boys lacrosse as a sanctioned sport. Cherry Creek 13, Kent Denver 5 - A stingy defense led the Bruins to a win over Kent Denver in the Class 5A boys lacrosse semifinals on May 13. Henry Adams and Asher Nolting each scored three goals as Cherry Creek opened a 10-goal lead late in the fourth. A run of four consecutive goals in the first four minutes of the third quarter propelled Cherry Creek to the fourthstraight state championship appearance.

Girls Lacrosse

Cherry Creek 18, Denver East 11 Cherry Creek and Denver East went into the halftime break knotted at 8-8, but the second-half effort on both ends of the field from the Bruins lifted them to a win in the girls lacrosse state semifinals on May 16. Cherry Creek 10, Rampart 9 - The Bruins clawed out of a 5-1 halftime deficit to book a trip to the CHSAA girls lacrosse semifinals with a come-from-behind win over Rampart on May 13. Caroline Perry and Eliza Radochonski made the second-straight semifinal appearance for Cherry Creek possible by scoring four and three goals, respectively.

Baseball

Rock Canyon 5, Cherry Creek 1 -

Cherry Creek’s 20-win season came to an end in a loss to Rock Canyon at the Class 5A baseball championships on May 17. The Bruins record of 20-4 is one win better than last season and is the fourth 20-win season for the Bruins in the last six seasons. Chatfield 2, Cherry Creek 1 - The Bruins were defeated by a fine pitching performance in a loss to Chatfield at the double-elimination Class 5A baseball championships early on the morning of May 17. Cherry Creek 4, Grandview 1 - Tanner O’Tremba pitched the Bruins to win in the first round of the Class 5A baseball championships by shutting Grandview out and allowing only three hits in five innings on May 16. Cody Wood shut the door on Grandview pitching a perfect seventh inning with two strikeouts for the save. Parker Jax smacked a RBI double, and Carson Jax and Blake Benedetti each drove a run in for Cherry Creek. Cherry Creek 8, Mullen 0 - Cherry Creek advanced to the state tournament with its second consecutive shutout to take the District 1 championship with a win over Mullen on May 12. Blake Goldsberry tossed a three-hit, complete-game shutout on the mound and went 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs and a run scored. Parker Jax and Andrew Chavez each drove in two runs in the win. Cherry Creek 3, Rangeview 0 - Nick Ulmer held Rangeview scoreless through 5.1 innings on the mound to send the Bruins to a win in the opening game of Class 5A District 1 play on May 12. Dylan Calvey and Carson Jax each drove a run in and Parker Jax finished 2-for-3 with a triple for the Bruins. Windsor 12, Littleton 2 - Littleton fell in a season-ending loss in the opening game in Class 4A District 1 play at the hands of Windsor on May 11. Christian Corah finished 3-for-4 at the plate, and Scott Robb and Jarod Dreiling each drove a run in for the Lions. Littleton finished the season with an 11-9 record to match the win totals combined from the last four seasons.

title. Julia Mannino and Sarah Grace Walker were second at No. 3 doubles, and Maddie Roberts and Micha Handler were third at No. 1 doubles. In the No. 1 singles finale, Fairview’s Amber Shen defeated Creek’s Kalyssa Hall, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (8-6), in a controversial match. Hall, a junior who was seeking her third straight state title after winning two at Cheyenne Mountain, served for the match once in the second set and once in the third. Several of Hall’s out calls were overturned by the chair umpire. After the second set, she was warned. Hall was leading 5-4 in the third set when another out call was changed by the umpire on the first point, but he awarded the game to Shen. Hall was upset after the match and unavailable to comment. She left the facility to

It’s hard to see somebody lose a match when they have fought that hard. There’s a balance becoming too involved in the match and dictating what happens. These girls aren’t used to having an umpire out in tournament play and high school matches.” Hall is one six underclassmen on the 2015 varsity team.

Arapahoe The Warriors finished 10th in the tournament with seven points. The duo of Natalie Sloboth and Sarah Shortall were fourth in No. 1 doubles.

No easy events at state track meet

Area teams battle for points in tough, competitive fields

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com

The top competitors assembled at Jefferson County Stadium May 14-16 for the Colorado track and field championships, so individual medals and team points were hard to earn. Cherry Creek’s boys had the highest finish of any local schools as they took second place in the Class 5A standings with 44.5 points; Fountain Fort Carson took top honors with 94 points. Arapahoe was 19th with 19.5 points, and Heritage was 25th in the field of 38 teams. The Bruins were also the top local finisher in the Class 5A girls division, where they placed sixth. Arapahoe was 20th in the field of 48 schools. Jordyn Colter helped the Cherry Creek girls team score as she won the 800-meter run and the 1,600-meter run. She ran the 800 in a meet record time of 2:04, and she also turned in a record time of 4:48 in the 1,600. Amy Paxton competed in the pole vault for the Bruins. “I am a gymnast, one of my coaches suggested I give pole vault a try, and I found I loved it,” Paxton said as she waited for her turn to compete in the May 16 finals. “I think the technique for pole vault is similar to the uneven parallel bars in gymnastics.” The sophomore said pole vault now is her favorite sport. Her personal best is 11 feet, 6 inches, and she said she wanted to clear 12 feet at state. She didn’t reach her goal, but she did clear 10 feet, 6 inches, and finished tied for seventh place. Senior Austin Lienemann of the Arapahoe track team placed third in the 300-meter hurdles and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles. “My dad started me running hurdles when I was in the seventh grade. I liked it,

and I stuck with it,” he said after the 110 race. “I like the 300 best because it is a longer race. But today will be challenging because eight other guys are trying to get to the finish line first.” Lienemann also plays golf and wrestles for the Warriors. “The mental factor is important in all three sports I play,” he said. “I think each sport helps me do better in the other two sports.” At the other end of the stadium, Heritage senior Weston Garner finished ninth in the Class 5A shot put. “I throw the discus and the shot,” he said after receiving his medal. “I didn’t have my best day with the shot put today. But I like the discus better, and I finished third in that competition.” He said good technique is the key to doing well in discus. “You need muscle of course,” he said. “But with good technique you can throw the disc a long way.” Littleton competed in Class 4A, where the Lions boys finished 11th and the girls team finished 30th. Noah McGhee was the top point-scorer for the Lions, winning the 100-meter dash and placing second in the 200-meter dash. “I like both events, but I like the 200 best because it is longer,” he said. “In both races, coming out of the starting blocks is a key to running a good time. My coaches and I work on starts every day in practice.” He said being at the state meet is very special. “I am blessed with speed, and I try to use it to the best of my ability,” he said. “Being here today shows all the hard work paid off.” Bobbi Pettit threw the shot for Littleton and finished fifth. “I started competing in the disc and shot in the seventh grade,” she said. “I was pretty good at it so I stuck with it. I really enjoy the competition, and you make friends with the girls you are competing against.” She said she lifts weights to get stronger for the field events, and in the winter she is also a diver for the Lions girls swim team.
