Man reflects on 100 years of life Willard Mounts marks birthday with family, friends and stories By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Sunlight pours through a picture window, lending a brilliant gleam to Willard Mounts’ crystal-clear blue eyes. They are the knowing eyes of someone who has seen it all, and they are intensely present while he recalls his youth, complete with dates and minute details. Willard pauses his storytelling as, one after another, visitors stop by his recliner to wish him a happy 100th birthday. Willard greets them with a friendly elbow-
bump — an effective way of avoiding germs — and confesses that he isn’t feeling too well. He is fighting the excruciating pain of shingles, which first arrived on his 100th birthday a few weeks earlier and caused him to postpone the party until April 12. But in spite of not sleeping well the night before, Willard is jovial and sharp as ever, and he is surrounded by family and friends at his daughter’s rural home on Parker’s eastern flank. They are marking the occasion with style and plenty of good food. Willard is eager to talk about his days growing up in coal-mining country on the border of West Virginia and Kentucky. For those who want the long version, they can read the first part of his 67-page autobiography, which is being given to any guest who wants one. He has written three books, including a 400-year history of the families of Daniel Boone and
Abraham Lincoln that’s in its third printing. Willard is not just a writer; he is a devoted consumer of books. “I still read every day now,” he says. Incredibly, he does this without the aid of glasses. Cataract surgery saw to that. Willard was a longtime presence at the local library after he retired as a comptroller in 1980, and now he calls employees on the phone when he wants some information. Most recently, he inquired about John Denver’s hometown and final resting place. Willard doesn’t know the helpful employees from Douglas County Libraries by name, but they know him, and a handful even attended his 100th birthday party. At times, Willard seems surprised by his own longevity and ability to do everyday tasks. Mounts continues on Page 9
Ponderosa High School may be the smallest of Douglas County’s nine neighborhood high schools, but that’s among its best features, says outgoing principal Chuck Puga. “The most important thing we offer is relationships — it’s hard to teach a kid you don’t know,” said Puga, noting some parents have open-enrolled their children at the 1,200-student school specifically because of its size. “We attract kids from all over the district. They love our school for the family atmosphere. We are a small school that offers everything a big school offers.” After nine years as Ponderosa’s leader and 26 years with the district, Puga is leaving that snug setting behind for the state’s sixthlargest high school. He is the next principal of Smoky Hill High School in Aurora. Part of the Cherry Creek School District, it has an enrollment of more than 2,300. Principal continues on Page 9

Hundreds gather to seek solutions to suicide Mayor says Parker community meeting was a starting point By Jane Reuter

A standing-room-only crowd of about 300 people filled the PACE Center event room for an April 14 town hall meeting on teen suicide. Parker Mayor Mike Waid called the meeting after the April 9 suicide of a Chaparral High School teenager, the second at the school this year and among several recent adult and teen suicides in the town and Douglas County. A total of 48 people died from suicide in Douglas County in 2014; five of them were under 20. The majority were men in their 50s. The meeting was promoted as “the starting point … a place we can begin the grassroots discussions on addressing this terrible problem.” With Waid moderating, adults and teens
lined up four deep on both sides of the room to speak into microphones about their experiences with suicide and depression. Among them was J.D. Nash, whose 16-year-old son Jonathon died by suicide in November 2014. Nash, whose voice frequently broke, talked about his own struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide. “I have found myself on the perilous edge on more than one occasion,” he said. “Even empowered by all of this deeply personal understanding that me and my family have, we were unable to save our own son last November. “Unlike me, who was crying out for help, my son gave no perceptible outward signs of his angst. Having survived suicide from both sides now, I feel I should be able to come here tonight and offer you some answers. And I apologize because I can’t.” Nash wrote the word “stigma” on a sandwich board at the front of the event room, Suicide continues on Page 9

Parents learn more about charter school
Proposed performing arts institution aims to open in 2016 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com About 50 people gathered at the Parker Library on April 9 to learn more about the Parker Performing Arts School. The planned K-8 charter is scheduled to open with 525 students in August 2016. A final site hasn’t yet been secured. Supporters described their vision — which calls for daily involvement in the performing arts and regular performances — with such enthusiasm that one parent raised her hand at the meeting’s end to ask if she could attend the school. The school will offer younger students exposure to all the performing arts, including dance, instrumental and vocal music and drama. “We’ll give them a really solid, broad foundation so they can discover what they’re interested in,” board member Tiffany Maestas said. Older students will be able to choose an art form on which to focus their attention.
The school also plans to have an iPad available for every student. That doesn’t mean intense screen time, said board president Catherine Piepenbrink. “The iPad … becomes their textbook, their pen and paper,” she said. “It’s a key element to every student’s education. Digital curriculum allows for differentiated instruction for each student, and immediate feedback. It allows 24/7 access to information, and encourages students to take a proactive role in their education.” The school would offset some of its expenses by allowing rental use of the building when classes aren’t in session. Members of the public also would be encouraged to attend events there. “Though we will be very busy, we want to make a school that’s accessible to our local community,” said board member Corey Wahl. “We anticipate our building being used a lot.” Audience member and Parker resident Susan Townsend, who has a 5-year-old son, liked what she heard. A member of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic and Colorado Symphony, Townsend said she’s interested in helping at the school and potentially enrolling her son. “I’m not sure if he’ll follow me (musical-

Photo by Jane Reuter ly), but I can see how this type of education can really help,” she said. Board member Travis Cottle said the location will be finalized this summer. The board anticipates gaining approval for its charter application from the Douglas County School District in May. A charter school is a tuition-free public school that typically operates under a contract with the Douglas County School District, guided by its own board and operating
largely independent of the district. A limited liability company called Patriot Schools is working with supporters of both Parker Performing Arts and the proposed John Adams High School. Attorney Jason Sanders, who founded Highlands Ranch’s Ben Franklin Academy, and real estate broker Cottle founded the LLC to help parents launch charter schools. Both men are board members for Parker Performing Arts School.
Student art show set for Lone Tree, Parker Staff report More than 1,500 pieces of art created by K-12 Douglas County students will be featured at the Lone Tree Arts Center April 24-27. Award-winning works then will be displayed at Parker’s PACE Center from May 1-11, with an awards show and ceremony on May 11. The annual show, held last year at the Castle Rock Factory Stores, also has been hosted by Park Meadows Retail Resort. Co-coordinator Pamela Cogburn, an art teacher at Castle Rock’s Renaissance Expeditionary Learning School, is excited about this
year’s location. “It’s so authentic,” she said. “Just the right venue.” Cogburn’s students are also excited about the prospect of seeing the artwork they created on public display. Fifth-grader Amanda Bermingham used a heat gun to melt plastic and then paint her work, which includes four blue-and-green circles on an orange-and-yellow backdrop. It was a process she’d never before tried. “It was really fun,” she said. “I always like coming to art class.” Fourth-grader Grace Shellenberger also tried a new method. Her sculpture is made of

wire, foil and paint. “I’ve been doing art for a long time; I like drawing dresses and animals,” she said. Creating an abstract work, “was a new form of art for me, and I really liked it.” Sixth-grader Julia Lewis called upon her love of nature in her pen-and-pencil drawing. “What we had in mind was just very natural shapes, things inspired by nature and the outdoors — leaves, mountains, clouds.” Now, she said. “I really want to get a lot better working with 3-D things, sculpting and modeling.” The show will include paintings, sculptures, ceramics, prints and photographs.
Some of the items created by middle and high school students will be available for sale. The other coordinators for the District Art Show include Mountain Vista High School art teacher Amy Kahn, Rocky Heights Middle School art teacher Kimberly Chlumsky and Aspen View Academy art teacher Christopher Hecker. The May 11 PACE Center event includes a viewing from 6 to 7 p.m. and an awards ceremony from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The Lone Tree Arts Center is located at 10075 Commons St. The PACE Center is at 20000 Pikes Peak Ave.

Proof that ‘fries are a big deal when you are 9’ C
Girl’s campaign, petition sparks districtwide change Staff report Mayor Mike Waid and Parker Town Council recognized a young resident for her campaign to change her school’s lunch menu. Reese McMillan, a third-grader at Legacy Point Elementary School, eats school lunch most days. Last October, she came home and explained to her parents that the french fries that she and her friends loved had been replaced. “They thought the new fries were awful and fries are a big deal when you are 9,” Reese’s parents said in a letter to town council. “After a couple weeks of tolerating this injustice, she said she wondered if she could do anything about it.” Legacy Point is a “Leader
in Me” school, which means it teaches kids to be leaders by using the 7 Habits of Happy Kids platform, which resonated with Reese. She discussed ideas, came up with the plan to write a letter and have a petition signed by other classmates. Reese wrote a letter to Brent Craig, the director of Nutrition Services at Douglas County Schools. She made a petition and asked for permission from her principal, Joanna Polsen, and her vice principal, Paul Whitaker, to take the petition around the lunchroom. “They were extremely supportive and told her that they thought it was a great idea,” Reese’s parents said. Reese received a response from Craig in January. He told her he appreciated that she brought this to his attention and would address it. He explained that changing the fries had been necessary to conform to new nutritional guidelines, but they
obviously hadn’t found the right replacement. He also explained that the district serves 30,000 servings of fries in a single day, so the change couldn’t happen overnight. He asked Reese if she and her class would like to taste-test options for a new fry, and they enthusiastically agreed. In March, three representatives from the nutrition department brought in four kinds of new fries and cooked them in the school lunchroom. They had Reese’s class, along with some kids from other grades, taste the new fry options and fill out a survey. A new fry was selected (by overwhelming majority), and it will be the new fry for the entire Douglas County School District next fall. “Reese has learned a lot from this experience and it has been very empowering for her,” the letter to town council said. “We are very proud of her and believe this experience is something that she will carry with her wherever her
Reese McMillan, a third-grader at Legacy Point Elementary School, was recognized by Parker Town Council April 6 for her efforts in changing the school’s menu. She is pictured with her parents, Sean and Marni. Courtesy photo future takes her.” The school awarded her and she was asked to make a presentation to the entire second grade
to demonstrate one way to be a leader. Town council gave Reese a certificate of recognition during its meeting April 6.
Preschool kids learn Chinese, Spanish
Global Village immerses tots in culture Staff report Global Village International Preschool opened this month at 10650 S. Parkglenn Way, near South Parker Road and Longs Way. With a language immersion environment that fosters enthusiasm for learning in a diverse, culturally rich setting, young children can acquire second-language skills, said preschool director Patty Stouffer.
Parents can choose immersion instruction in Spanish or Mandarin Chinese to supplement the English instruction. The research-based approach is similar to the instruction used in Europe, where students often learn several languages. Children can start at age 2 1/2 and attend until they start kindergarten. Global Village is open year round and a full day lasts from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate working parents. The preschool will be open all summer and a School Age Language Immersion Summer camp will be offered starting June 1. Each classroom will have an English-speaking teacher and a Spanish- or Chinese-speaking teacher who
Parker Fieldhouse
works together to provide a high-quality early education to students. Studies show that knowing a second language is a huge advantage to children for future learning and success. “We also focus on developing early childhood behaviors and learning skills in a safe, nurturing environment, where all are known, respected, and valued as young children with great potential,” Stouffer said. “Our early childhood curriculum is the nationally-acclaimed High Scope Curriculum. It is developmentally play-based combined with hands-on learning centers to give your child an educational, fun experience.” Global Village is a nonprofit school with
a mission of creating an internationallygrounded early education that includes becoming fluent and literate in a world language, in addition to English. Tuition is competitively priced and includes all meals and snacks, which are prepared fresh daily. Enrollment is now open and there will be an open house from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. April 20. For more information check www.GVAschools.org under the Preschools section. Global Village International preschool is a member of the Global Village Educational network in Denver that includes a new K-8 public charter school being built in Parker.

Student is third loss for Parker school this academic year By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Chaparral High School is mourning the death of a third student this school year. Sophomore Koby James Stevens, 16, died April 9. He was an athlete who played football and lacrosse. Stevens is survived by his parents, Tim and Karie, and brother, Kaleb, and grandmother Corrine Schreiber, of Aurora. Principal Greg Gotchey Stevens sent a letter to Chaparral parents April 9, expressing the school’s grief over Stevens’ passing. gIt asked parents to ensure their students knew counseling and support is available. “The district crisis team has been activated and will be working with school
counselors and mental health professionals to ensure that both students and staff are supported,” Gotchey’s email read. “Knowing what to say to your student is often difficult. When no other words come to mind, a hug and saying, ‘This is really hard’ may provide comfort. “As I have grown accustomed to saying, ‘Take care of one another,’ so please let us know if we can help.” Students communicated their feelings on Twitter, with many offering their prayers and support to the Stevens family. Others wrote of the series of losses the school has experienced. “Chap has seen a lot of death and sadness this year, and getting an email that Koby Stevens is dead is definitely hard for all of us,” one student Tweeted. “I can’t believe this has happened three times this year. That’s three times too many. Rest in peace Koby, Jonathon and Taylor,” Tweeted another. Taylor Llewellyn, 17, died in October, and Jonathon Nash, 16, died in November. Chaparral delayed the scheduled April 10 closing ceremony of its Wish Week.
Residents invited to drone presentation Staff report The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is proposing to use a drone, and residents are invited to voice their opinion on the matter. A public presentation will take place at 6 p.m. April 30 at the sheriff’s office’s substation, 9250 Zotos Drive, in Highlands Ranch. “We encourage all Douglas County citizens to come and see what this is all about,” said Deputy Chad Teller. “This is their community, and they should have a voice on what goes on in their community.” The drone, being referred to by the sheriff’s office as an unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV, is a small, flying device with a camera.
The presentation will include guest speakers to inform the public on the capabilities of the craft, and its intended uses, which are to assist in search and rescue operations and photograph crime and accident scenes for investigation. Attendees will also hear about “the potential expanded use of UAVs for disaster management, such as, but not limited to, wildfire and HAZMAT scenarios, high-speed vehicle chases, or SWAT tactical recognizance,” states a media release. A representative from the American Civil Liberties Union will present “their recommendations for guidelines for UAV usage by local law enforcement for the protection of citizens’ privacy rights.”

Jeb Bush praises school district’s efforts Denver stop includes introduction by school board member, comment on voucher program
‘The governor has been a long-term supporter of ours, of expanding choice in education. I think he agrees with the approach we’ve taken.’
Doug Benevento,
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who donated to the campaigns of several Douglas County School Board members, said during a stop in Denver that he supports the district’s court-stymied voucher program. Doug Benevento, school board vice president, introduced Bush during a town-hall style meeting April 7 at the Brown Palace Hotel. Benevento said he was acting on his own — not as a school board member — when he introduced the former Florida governor at the Denver event. “I was doing it as a supporter of Jeb Bush,” said Benevento, one of four candidates who received a $1,000 campaign donation from Bush during the November 2013 board elections. “I’ve met him several times in the past. He’s just really impressive.” Bush, a Republican, reportedly said during his Brown Palace appearance that he would support Douglas County’s efforts to “voucherize the entire school district.” A decision on the voucher, or choice scholarship, program is pending in Colorado Supreme Court. Oral arguments in the case between Taxpayers for Public Education and the Douglas County School District were heard in the state’s highest court in December.
Douglas County School Board vice president The case initially was filed in 2011 after the district implemented its pilot program that allowed students’ parents to use stateprovided per-pupil revenue toward tuition at private, mostly religiously affiliated schools. Benevento said, “The governor has been a long-term supporter of ours, of expanding choice in education. I think he agrees with the approach we’ve taken.” That, he said, includes a wide range of educational options. “We’ve expanded charters to meet the demand,” Benevento said. “We’ve expanded open enrollment to meet the demand. We have online education to meet the demand. Really that’s what we’ve talked about in the past, and what his comment was targeted at — providing choice to parents so students can be put in the best position to succeed. That includes a strong neighborhood school system.” Douglas County parent and school board critic Anne-Marie Lemieux said she believes Bush’s comment was inappropriate. “My concern is the voucher program is still in the Supreme Court’s hands, and they are supporting a system that hasn’t even been deemed constitutionally legal yet,” she
said. She was also disturbed by Benevento’s public support of Bush. “Our current school board members have a long history of supporting presidential candidates,” she said. “It’s just more politicizing of a school board that is sworn to be nonpartisan. They continue to politicize and show partisanship, versus being nonpartisan and supporting the best interest of every child.” All the current board members are Republicans, but the school board election is officially nonpartisan. In 2012, all seven sitting school board members — including Benevento — endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, but said they did so individually and not as a group. John Carson, former board president, toured on the Romney campaign bus and publicly praised Republican Wisconsin governor Scott Walker during school board meetings. The Douglas County Republicans endorsed the current board members in the 2009, 2011 and 2013 elections. School board President Kevin Larsen disagrees with Lemieux’s statement.
“If the board had, as a group, gone to or hosted an event (like that), then I think you could make that statement,” he said. “What any of us does individually, that’s on our own time. He was there in his own capacity.” Benevento missed the board’s April 7 work session to attend Bush’s Brown Palace meeting. Larsen also said he believes Bush was speaking in support of the district’s educational options. The voucher program that included partnerships with private schools “is one of those options.” “But the vast majority, and almost every other option we’ve put out there, is a public entity,” he said. “And there’s a whole array of them, from charter to online to magnet to neighborhood. We are not trying to privatize public education. We are still very much a public school district but we have explored a few ways on the edge of the envelope in how we can deliver that.” School board members Meghann Silverthorn, Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds also received $1,000 each from Bush during the 2013 campaign.

THEY SAID IT “It’s a good idea to demonstrate they have healthy options. (But) we came to encourage her to eat school lunches.” — Erin Bostick, whose 4-year-old daughter, Kate, will be attending kindergarten at Heritage Elementary next year. Bostick added she also wanted to make sure Kate would have lunch choices that wouldn’t interfere with her nut allergy

tEvent displays options for parents, students
“The food kids eat for lunch is one-third of what they eat during the week. I want to know it’s as healthy and high-quality as possible.”
By Christy Steadman
rcsteadman@colorado ucommunitymedia.com t n A Taste of DCSD is almost like a myth-buster event, said Douglas County School District 7chef Jason Morse. e Students should have no reason to tell their parents they don’t like school lunches sanymore, he added, because now parents -know they are being served tasty food that is balanced and healthy. t “We’re not the typical lunch ladies or lunch s dudes,” Morse said. “We’re a culinary team.” The annual A Taste of DCSD took place yApril 8 at Mountain Vista High School in Highclands Ranch to showcase the lunch options fthat students have in the district. Parents had othe opportunity to interact with the district’s evendors about nutritional information, and astudents had the opportunity to try different afood items they may not normally order on wtheir own. “We feed every different kind of student,” Morse said. “We’re not trying to force anything on them. It’s reminding them there’s a healthy o way to eat.” e
— Joe Wilson, whose kids attend Rock Canyon High School and Northridge Elementary
Anthony Mowry serves a portion of vegetable fried rice from Minh’s Asian Line at the A Taste of DCSD event April 9, which took place at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. Along with the fried rice, people were able to sample Teriyaki chicken stir fry and a chicken or pork egg roll. All of the items offer a healthy option, Mowry said, because all of them are low sodium foods made with whole grain. Photos by Christy Steadman
“They have new kids coming (to the school district) every year from different counties and states. Parents need to know what new food is being offered at the new school (and) know they can trust that their kids are getting healthy choices.”
Pizza will always be popular choice of students who attend the Douglas County School District. The school district offers pepperoni or cheese from Big Daddy’s Pizza.
— Adam Weber, a freshman at Mountain Vista High School
The food “is surprisingly good. When I was growing up, cafeteria food was not this good.” — Dan Price, parent, of Castle Rock. He added that if students are too young to be able to leave campus for lunch, schools should offer healthy food choices that kids want to eat.
DID YOU KNOW? The Douglas County School District is a participant in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s School Lunch Program. Therefore, the district’s lunches limit the fat intake to 30 percent or less of calories, and saturated fat to 10 percent of calories, on weekly average. Students must select three of the five meal items offered for a complete lunch with balanced nutrition: meat or meat alternative such as beans or cheese, grains or bread, vegetables, fruit and milk. One of the
three choices must be a fruit or vegetable. A hot lunch purchased at Douglas County elementary schools costs $2.75. A family can save an average of 70 cents per student, per day by buying a hot lunch from the school. Groceries needed to pack a lunch with the same balanced nutrition would cost a family $3.45 per student, per day, on average. Source: Douglas County School District

OPINION
April 17, 2015
&
Something about a cell keeps people imprisoned Cell phones don’t look like much. I will get to that in a minute. There are 6.8 billion cell phone subscriptions in the world. There are 7 billion people in the world. Guess who doesn’t have a cell phone subscription? I plan to keep it that way. I know that I am a freak. I call Jennifer, my sister, and the foot and ankle clinic, and that’s it. So why would I need a cell phone? I have humbugged cell phones before because they are all over the place like locusts, and just about as annoying. But there are so many of them that their ubiquity makes using them anywhere at any time immune from civility. “You mean it might actually bother someone if I made a phone call in a restaurant? Get out.” Yakety yak. Like I said, cell phones don’t look like much. Cell phones have function and very little form. Physically they are about as interesting as a pack of throat lozenges. What of it? Can you picture Humphrey Bogart on a cell phone? Phones have always had supporting roles in films, especially the candlesticks that Sam Spade rang up. Dial phones were sculptural. One part base, and one part handset, with a cord in between. That gave an actor a lot to work with. No more. Now you just hold up a little rectangle of plastic next to your head.
Juno had a hamburger phone. Her phone gave you an additional impression about her personality. Cell phones don’t do that. Cell phones all look alike. Oh, some of them are blue. I guess they are convenient, portable and don’t take up much room. But in that is the loss of any visual interest. It is just an assumed design now. At one time there were telephone stores with a menu of styles. Princess phones gave me the creeps. Now it is one size and shape for everyone. It’s like telling everyone they have to drive a Pinto. But you know what? You can’t take a selfie with a candlestick telephone. That’s another reason why I don’t like cell phones. Self-indulgence has been multiplied by 1,000 percent. The New York Post reported, “Selfabsorbed jerks are treating the East Village gas-explosion site like a tourist attraction, shooting grinning selfies of themselves
even as rescuers search for life in the ruins where two bodies might still be buried.” One of them should have known better. Christina Freundlich, a former communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party, posted a photo of herself giving the peace sign. (Freundich apologized the next day.) Every day another selfie is posted with or without a personality’s permission. Can you picture Humphrey Bogart taking a selfie, or allowing one to be taken? I think it’s all crap, but that’s where we are. Someone close to me has a cell phone, and she is checking it all of the time. And I am glad that she does, because it shows that she is a good parent. She has three teenagers. Those words together — “three teenagers” — give me the willies. About all I did when I was a teenager was study and sulk. Things are very different now. Teenagers are different, and the world is very different. Unimaginable things happen. And it’s very easy to wind up on Pleasure Island. Someone asked me for my cell phone number, and when I told her I didn’t have a cell phone, she mocked me. I guess for some people it would be like being told I don’t have a belly button. Go ahead and mock me. Us. There are 200 million of us talking into hamburgers. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Amazing attitudes make some stand out Have you ever noticed the people who love what they do? I mean they are usually smiling and happy, and seem like they could spend all day and night working. They are doing what they love and loving what they do. The thing that always gets me is not so much that they obviously enjoy their occupation, it’s their overall attitude toward life that is at work that impresses me the most. Now you may be thinking that the only people who really do what they love and love what they do are celebrities, professional athletes, or people who are in positions that help them earn an income that is far above what the average person earns. But I am sure you can think of many people you know, probably even more than you think, who really enjoy what they do. We can see the positive attitude at work in their personal and professional life and sometimes we wish we could feel the same way, don’t we? In my travels over the years I have met people who are in positions of manual labor, housekeeping, food and beverage,
hospitality, healthcare, banking, legal, professional services, consulting, transportation, and from many other careers. And from the guy shining shoes, to the investment banker, from the bartender to the lawyer, and from the massage therapist to the respiratory therapist, I have witnessed amazing attitudes at work. And I don’t just mean attitudes at work while they work, I am talking about the positive attitude that must be the underlying foundation of who they really are that is at work in their lives. I am sure that you can see the difference between people who live every aspect of their lives thinking and acting in a positive
manner as compared to those we know who live and work as if the world was ending and who are grounded, and even stuck, in a negative mindset. They have an attitude at work in their lives too, it’s just a negative attitude. So which attitude is at work in your life? And the more important question is this, how obvious is it to everyone you encounter? Can your friends and family see which attitude is at work? Can your customers or potential employers tell which attitude drives your actions and behaviors? Sometimes we can get caught up in a job we don’t like, or the fact that we are out of work for a little while. We may be working in a department or on a project with people we don’t get along with. And we may see ourselves in position where we can no longer be promoted or we just can’t seem to make any more money. So what happens? What attitude will prevail and be at work in our lives if we aren’t careful? Right, it’s easy to let the negative attitude and voices in our lives to drag us down.
Don’t dawdle about plans for old age There is only one thing worse than talking about dying and that is getting old and sick. Most of us are in denial that anything bad will ever happen to us. It seems easy to put off things that are not going to happen for a very long time, such as estate planning or elder care planning. Ironically, it is going to be easier and cheaper to plan now while you are thinking clearly for a time when you may not be able to make these decisions. So now that tax season is over and you have a good idea of your income and expenses, it is a good time to start mapping out what you would like to see happen to you. About 70 percent of people age 65 and older will need some type of long-term care services in their lifetimes. Here is a checklist of items to work on to better plan for an optimum future: • Review and update your estate plan. Make sure your wills, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Agents are current. If you and your spouse travel together or are in ill health,

Re: School funding options explored In the above related recent article, school board member Doug Benevento is quoted regarding the 2008 and 2011 rejected tax increases, “I think what they told us when they rejected all those tax increases is, “Why don’t we have a more fair equitable system for getting our money back from Denver?’” You’re wrong Mr. Benevento, they (I) rejected all those tax increases because of a noconfidence with the school board.

“Do you know any 100-yearolds that still write?” he asks while signing his autobiography for a relative. When someone answers that they, in fact, don’t know any 100-year-olds at all, he responds: “I’m the only one I ever knew, too.” Willard attributes his long life to several factors, and
the first suggestion he has for people who want the same is “never worry about anything,” he says. He says healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and a constant thirst for knowledge are important. His daughter, Linda Williams, points out that “the Lord has a lot to do with it.” Willard was driving up until three years ago, and a fall limited his ability to get around easily. But he still goes to church every Sunday, and rides an exercise bike and lifts weights regularly.

and drew a red slash through it. “There should be no more stigma attached to emotional pain … than a broken leg,” he said, adding that comments about the selfishness of suicide are not helpful to those pondering it. “I don’t think I can argue with most of those. But these words brought no solace or deeper understanding. “We cannot plead, guilt, yell, judge coerce, insist, pray or otherwise enforce our good will or feelings into anyone. But I am pretty confident we can share our love and coax bad feelings out of anyone with nonjudgmental conversation … reminding everyone to breath, be patient, and making sure everybody knows before you leave the conversation that they’re OK.” Two Chaparral students expressed uncertainty about how to help their peers. “We don’t know what to do when there

Ironically, family beckoned him in a new direction. “I love this school, I love this community, I love this kids and our staff,” Puga said. “But after 26 years, I think a change is good. And I have an opportunity to be with my wife again.” Karen Puga, formerly assistant principal at DCSD’s Redstone Elementary, joined Cherry Creek in 2014 and now is assistant principal at Buffalo Trail Elementary. The couple’s youngest son, A.J., is graduating from Ponderosa in May, which also makes the timing seem right, Puga said.

It doesn’t matter what work we do, it really doesn’t. What matters is the attitude that is at work in our lives while we work. There are so many companies that follow the model of hiring and promoting attitude first. This means that they will look for people with the right attitude and worry about teaching them the skills later. They find that this fosters a sense of team and

I think a lot of us are just really confused on what to do when everyone’s acting normal.” Ponderosa wasn’t always small. The 34-year-old school on Parker’s south side grew quickly after its 1983 opening, swept along by Douglas County’s record-setting growth. When Puga became principal in 2006, it had 2,200 students. That changed when Legend High School opened in 2008, taking with it Ponderosa’s two largest feeder elementary schools. “We’ve had nothing else to help us grow,” Puga said. “People aren’t leaving (Ponderosa) to go to other places, but we lost half our feeder population.” As enrollment declined, Puga didn’t stand on the sidelines giving orders. He jumped in to help, taking on roles as football and track coach. “If I’m going to ask the staff to do more, I sure as heck better do more,” Puga said. “Coaching is so cathartic and so fun. You

Another Chaparral student suggested adults talk to teens about the future. “I don’t think it’s stressed enough by the parents of Parker and our community that there is a positive outcome for all you’re doing,” he said. “I just think a lot of teenagers should be told, `It’s going to get better.’ ” Parker pastor Eddie Graber said he wished teenagers could have a crystal ball so they could see, “There is a tomorrow. And there’s somebody in that tomorrow for you. “We’ve got to let teenagers in this city know there are people who care and who will walk with them in life. Our teens need to know they have a purpose in life.” Parker’s Cassandra Perkins tried to describe the low point in her life. “When we are in that dark tunnel, the light at the end is non-existent and that tunnel is pitch black,” she said. “My mom slept with me every single night so I did not commit suicide. I hated my mom for doing that … because I wanted to die. But because of that, I’m here today.” Perkins thanked Waid for organizing the meeting.
“I think this is the coolest thing ever in Parker I have attended,” she said. Waid said the community meeting is only the first step in addressing what he feels is “a health epidemic in Parker.” “Last week, not only did a teenager take his life, but the next day a 30-year-old adult took his life,” he said. “In less than 48 hours, two of my citizens — our brothers in this community — felt their only option was to commit suicide. That’s not an acceptable course of action for us in this community.” Waid sees a disconnect between the programs that are offered and those who need them. “For some reason, the rubber’s not meeting the pavement,” he said. “What I encouraged citizens to do was take ownership for themselves, effect a change in their immediate life and one other person’s life. If we can all start at that level, then we can make a difference.” While Waid said the meeting served a good purpose, he doesn’t feel it can be the last such effort. “It was a starting point,” he said.
get to see kids and parents in a totally different way. That’s the fun piece — being around the kids.” Enrollment is again rising, a trend Puga expects will continue with the improving economy. Construction of new homes is underway at nearby Pinery West, and the school also draws some students from the growing community of Elizabeth and other portions of Elbert County. Puga has for years heard rumors that
Ponderosa will be converted to a tech or charter school, or close entirely. He dismisses them. “It’ll take a while for Ponderosa to get back to where it was,” he said. “But the area around here is starting to grow. We’re going to continue to be an integral part of this community. “And our next principal is going to have a great school to take over.”

State Senate debates homebuilder liability bills By Associated Press Two bills to make it harder to sue Colorado homebuilders advanced in the Republican-controlled state Senate last week. Senators approved two bills related to homebuilder product liability. One would give homeowners less time to sue a builder for defective
construction. The other revises procedures for construction lawsuit in multifamily developments. Both proposals face almost certain rejection in the Democratic House, though. The Legislature has tried and failed for years to craft new builder liability standards that reduce insurance costs for build-
ers without making it too hard for homeowners with faulty homes to collect damages. Supporters of this year’s bills say the measures would boost construction and address Colorado’s shortage of affordable housing. “This is an incremental step,” said Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker and one of the sponsors.

Old school lessons teach new generation Hilltop Art Fair raises money, awareness about defunct town By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Every year, dozens of people discover the wonders of the Hilltop School for the first time. Many who live in Douglas and Elbert counties aren’t even aware that a town once existed near the county line, where Hilltop Road meets Flintwood Road. But the Hilltop Art Fair, now in its third year, is drawing attention to the defunct railroad town and its last remaining building. A portion of the proceeds from the fair go toward maintaining the schoolhouse. Eileen Enterline, a member of UCC Parker Hilltop, a church across the street from the school, created the fair along with the Hilltop Social Club, a group that has grown to 20 members. The club uses the school for its
meetings and rents it out for special events. On April 25, it will become a venue for a student art show and guided tours, complete with all of the lore from the time when Hilltop sat along the Denver & New Orleans Railroad. “The people who come learn as much as we know at this time,” Enterline said. “The more people that come, the happier we are. We have a strong desire to pass on the history.” Nearly 30 vendors of all kinds will set up at the church and Hilltop School to sell a variety of craft-related items and food. A bee expert will bring a beehive, kids will have access to a “create your own masterpiece” station, and a choir from Singing Hills Elementary will make its third appearance. A trailer towed by Flat Acres Farm owner Mike Smith, who once lived in the Hilltop area, will take people around the grounds. He remembers attending church in the building every Sunday and going to Saturday night dances there as a kid, when the school was transformed into a community center. His parents later sold their farm and moved to Strasburg. Driving his tractor for the hayride has re-
acquainted Smith with people he hasn’t seen in more than 30 years. He has also seen the newer people come through and learn about Hilltop. “Lots of people didn’t even know there was town on top of there,” Smith said. A slide show will display photos of students and teachers who once used the school, as well as businesses that operated in the town. Hilltop existed for nearly 50 years and was a bustling hub of activity even before the railroad was built in the 1880s. Sheep and cattle ranchers lived in the area, which is near the Smoky Hill Trail, and the land that would become Hilltop was not far from Russellville, where gold was discovered in the late 1850s. Lumber was sold, land was farmed, and a blacksmithing shop did a steady business. A trucking company was the last to close up shop. The school closed in the 1950s, but it is in remarkably good shape. Maintenance projects have been funded by both the social club and the Douglas County School District, which owns the building. The district painted the exterior last summer and the club has
overseen upgrades both major and minor. Boy Scouts also help out; they installed a large sign and created a front walkway last year. The Hilltop Social Club, which includes several seniors, has been encouraged by the addition of younger members in recent years. “We really started feeling like there wouldn’t be anybody left to keep the schoolhouse going and keep the spirit alive of what’s gone on before,” Enterline said. The art fair brings life back to the small community, and although the financial help is important, the main goal is to raise awareness about the school and the town that built it in 1898. “We hope that people in the future will have some knowledge that a railroad came through here and there was a little town,” Enterline said, adding “it makes us feel good that the schoolhouse is being used.” More than 500 people are expected at the Hilltop Art Fair between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. April 25. Part of this year’s proceeds will benefit the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. For more information, go to www.uccparkerhilltop.org.

Music therapy adds quality to life Colorado practitioners fight for recognition By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Amy Wilson strums along on her guitar as she sings “When it’s Springtime in the Rockies.” “Especially with my clients who are elderly, a lot of the songs are based around the seasons. I always state the date at the beginning of the session,” said Wilson, a certified music therapist. “It helps with reality orientation.” It’s 10 a.m. April 6 and Wilson is at the Country Home, 1425 Debbie Circle, in western Elbert County, near Parker. She spends the morning in a group music therapy session with eight women at the assisted-living facility. The residents in the tight-knight, community-style living facility have a wide range of needs — some are dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia. “Specifically with elderly folks, using music to help them express themselves, increase their communication skills and to empower them so they are making choices,” Wilson said. “Even with some who aren’t able to speak, offering them two choices — bells or shakers — and even if she can’t tell me, she can look, she can think, she can point. It’s empowering.” As Wilson moves from one song and activity to the next, she works in details about what is going on in the world. The women discuss the start of baseball season and their favorite teams. They sing about the flowers that have begun to bloom and they share stories from their past. Wilson, who has worked as a professional music therapist for 17 years, has been coming to Country Home for almost two years. Her weekly sessions are among the most anticipated by the residents. In addition to her work with seniors, Wilson also helps treat people with autism and other disabilities. “They love it,” said Linda Melbardis, who owns and operates the home. “She always brings all kinds of different instruments and they get a chance to sing and move around. It’s one of the highlights of the week.” Country Home has been in business for 18 years and houses no more than eight resi-
Say it ain’t so, Glo! Gloria Neal, a fixture in Denver radio and television, is leaving our fair city to take a job as the morning news anchor at CBS-affiliate WGCL in Atlanta. On April 7, Neal posted on her Facebook page: “Where do I begin? I have always said that time brings change and to go against time ... is like going against life. There are no words Colorado. With ears full of tears, a heavy heart and a strong spirit, I fly ....” After making her mark on local radio, Neal was hired “temporarily” in 2008 as a morning news correspondent on CBS4. In a message to the staff, CBS4 News Director Tim Wieland said: “Back in 2008, I asked Gloria Neal if she might be interested in doing a daily segment for CBS4 Morning News on some of the stories surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Three or four weeks only. An ‘experiment’ to see how she liked working on morning television. Three or four weeks turned into eight years at CBS4 — a wonderful ‘experiment’ that led to so many memorable interviews, stories and news segments.” By phone from Atlanta, Glo said, “Man plans and God laughs.” She was “stunned when they called me. I love Colorado, it’s going to be so hard … (leaving) but it’s also a great opportunity. (Atlanta) is a huge market. I’ve been here many times (where her husband has clients).” Her last day on the air in Denver will be mid-late May. Hate to see you go, Glo, but best of luck in Hotlanta.
Caddie wins Evans scholarship
Music Therapist Amy Wilson conducts her class April 6 at the Country Home, 1425 Debbie Circle in Parker. dents at a time. “We’re a family,” Melbardis said. Colorado is one of the vast majority of states that does not have state-recognized registration or licensing for music therapists. The only state to give full registration and licensing is Wisconsin, which did so in 1998. North Dakota, Nevada, Georgia, Rhode Island and Utah offer licensing but not registration. Therapists in Colorado are pushing the state to provide official licensing and registration. In October 2014, the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies reviewed a sunrise application (a request for regulation) seeking title protection for music therapists. The request was denied, but supporters say
they will try again in 2016. “Music is ubiquitous. It truly is everywhere. It’s in our commercials, on the radio, movies. It’s so accessible. Because of that, people might think ‘oh, music therapy is just playing guitar and teaching someone music,’ and it’s not,” Wilson said. “It’s different. We are board-certified. I went through an extensive six and a half year program and got my degree and did a clinical internship. We have a lot of training.” According to Wilson, the lack of state recognition and verification means that anyone can advertise they are music therapists, regardless of their training. As of 2014, there were 6,323 board-certified music therapists in the United States.
Geovani Castillo has caddied at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club the past three seasons. Starting in golf through The First Tee program at GVR opened his eyes to the benefits of playing the game and the life lessons it teaches. But he never imagined the summer job would also lead to the opportunity of a lifetime — the chance to earn a full scholarship to the University of Colorado in Boulder. “When I found out about the Evans Scholarship, I just got even more excited about caddying,” he said. “The day I received my award letter, I was so proud. This is a huge weight off my parents’ shoulders, not having to worry about me. I’m just really happy that I made them happy.” Castillo is one of 11 awardees of the Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship — a full, four-year tuition and housing college scholarship awarded to golf caddies — and will begin college as an Evans Scholar at the University of Colorado this fall.

Alaska series adds up to adventure Books recount tales shared by family, beloved teacher By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com When Parker writer Naomi Gaede Penner was in second grade in Tanana, Alaska, a village of 300 Athabascan Indians along the Yukon River, she had a teacher named Anna Bortel, who became her mother’s close friend and a lifelong friend to Naomi as well. The family was in Alaska — in a spot reached only by air — because her father was a Public Health Service physician with a sense of adventure. (Penner has written about him as well in “Alaska Bush Pilot Doctor.”) In spite of difficult living conditions, Bortel saved all her letters, photographs, documents and other papers, and in her later years, could recall countless stories of her life in Alaska. When Bortel was living in a retirement community in Oregon, Penner worked with her to produce two books about her remarkable career: “A is For Alaska” and “A is For Anaktuvuk.” (Bortel died last year in her 90s.) “The project started in 1991,” Penner said, “but it hit an impasse and stalled. Anna was a great storyteller, but didn’t know how to shape it into chapters.” Penner did recording as Bortel talked. Penner had copyrighted the pictures and
the songs Bortel wrote. Penner says she continues to visit her family’s homestead near Soldotna, acquired under the last Homestead Act in about 1961. Her father was one of two physicians in the area and her parents lived the rest of their lives there. Her sister and son and brother and wife live on the homestead full time and Naomi has a cabin. But “I discovered Colorado sunshine,” said Penner, who has lived in Parker since 2000. At 16, she was sent to a Mennonite boarding school in Oklahoma, then a college in Kansas. She eventually graduated from Colorado State University and holds a master’s degree from Denver Seminary. The books are written for adults, the author says, but are appropriate for grades 6 to 12 as well. Each has a bibliography, glossary and list of discussion questions at the end, which would be good for group or family consideration. They are written in Bortel’s voice, which sounds like an insightful teacher explaining things. In June 1954, after a few years teaching in the Midwest, Bortel had a final breakfast in her Ohio home, climbed into her green Chevy and headed for Alaska, after a final “watch for bears” warning from her anxious mom. She had a contact in Valdez, 4,408 miles away. (It boasted 300 inches of snow a year.) She planned to get a job when she arrived. In Sterling, Illinois, she picked up a friend, Dorothy Wilson, and they drove west, cooking on a Coleman stove and stay-

The book includes Bortel’s daily travel notes. She explains that the Army Corps of Engineers built the Alcan Highway in World War II due to perceived threats from Japan, and no land connection to Alaska until then. But when Bortel drove it, paving was not yet in place. The pair arrived in Valdez and Bortel found a teaching

The B.I.G. Day is taking place on Saturday, April 25th from 8:00 am to 12:00pm. Local nonprofits and the South Metro Denver Chamber has gathered together for this fun half-day event. Participating nonprofits include Audubon Society of Greater Denver, Denver Botanic Gardens, Dinosaur Ridge, South Suburban Park Foundation, She She’s Corner, and Project C.U.R.E. B.I.G stands for “Be Involved, Give.” The motivation for this event, sponsored by the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Nonprofit & Business Partnership Committee, is to provide assistance to member nonprofits by introducing them to the people and businesses that live and work in their communities. Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from
planting the community garden at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to trail clean-up with the South Suburban Park Foundation to sorting and loading medical supplies with Project CURE. Many projects allow young children to help when accompanied by an adult - a great way to teach community involvement. Anyone can volunteer- companies & businesses, their staff, friends, family, and kids! Everyone can participate. In addition, community organizations (schools, churches, sports teams) and individuals are all encouraged. If you are interested in volunteering, for The B.I.G. Day visit South Metro Denver Chamber event page at www. bestchamber.com or Contact Laurian Horowitz at Laurian@ ColoradoLiveLessons.com

job. She next taught Athabascan children in Tanana, in the northern interior, where the children were Indian, not Eskimo, she was told. No roads led there — she had to fly in, with lots of warm clothing, after shipping her possessions on a river barge. Her fellow teacher took her on a tour of the village and school began soon. It was here that she met the Gaedes, Naomi Gaede Penner’s family. Bortel was the girls’ teacher and developed a close friendship with the Gaede family. Details of life in this community are really interesting, and the cold is unending. They managed holiday celebrations, church services, hearty meals and fun amid lots of learning. In 1959, the village council of Anaktuvuk Pass asked the Alaska Commissioner of Education for a school in their village, and Bortel, looking for further challenge, went there to teach all ages. Some had been to boarding school and spoke English. Firstgraders knew no English and the community structure was different. Again, this resourceful woman prevailed, living in a sod house, teaching new ways as well as Sunday school. She eventually taught in Alaska for 19 years. Penner calls these two books, plus her earlier “From Kansas Wheat Fields to Alaska Tundra,” the story of her family, and “Alaska Bush Pilot Doctor,” about her father, the Prescription for Adventure series. They are available at Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe in Parker and the Carriage Shoppes in Elizabeth, as well as from the author, prescriptionforadventure.com and Amazon.com.

Legend slams Douglas County
Titans snap hitting slump in 13-9 win
By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
Greg Pickett hit two soaring home runs and drove in six runs as Legend ended an offensive slump with 13 hits in a 13-9 Continental League win over host Douglas County on April 6.
Legend starting pitcher Peyton Remy allowed four hits and two earned runs over six innings before the Huskies rallied in the bottom of the seventh against the Titans’ bullpen to make the final score close. “We had a few guys in slumps, but we kind of broke that,” said Legend coach Scott Fellers. “We got healthy, so to speak, hitting.” Key moments: Pickett’s grand slam in the seventh gave Legend a 13-3 lead and turned out to be decisive as Douglas County scored six runs in the bottom of the seventh. The Huskies had runners on first and
second with nobody out when an usual double play short-circuited the rally. Centerfielder Nick Mathley caught a deep fly for the first half. He threw the ball in, and Legend second baseman Issac Rincones tagged second base for the double play as the runner on second base tagged up early. Key players/statistics: Legend came into the game with a team batting average of .200 after six games, but daily batting practice sessions during spring break helped. In three games against the Huskies, Castle View and Ponderosa, the Titans col-
lected 36 hits to increase the team batting average to .270. In addition to Pickett’s big day, teammates Issac Rincones and Cody Maynard each had two hits and two RBIs and scored a pair of runs. Douglas County’s Anthony Warneke went 2-for-4 with a solo home run. He said it: “We’ve shown we can beat anybody, and we can lose to anybody,” Douglas County coach Mark Roberts. Going forward: Legend entertains ThunderRidge on April 17 while Douglas County plays at Ponderosa the same day.
Ponderosa names new boys basketball coach Ketchum brings 202-108 career record to Mustangs By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Athletic director Tim Ottmann was seeking a person with experience and a winning record to take over as Ponderosa’s boys basketball coach. He found one. Steve Ketchum, the former coach at Aspen High School, will replace Mike Gibbs as the Mustangs’ coach. Gibbs departed to become the new Highlands Ranch coach. “I’m really excited about the future,” said Ketchum. “It’s a great opportunity. I just met about a 100 Ponderosa parents and players last night for the first time. I got a super positive feeling. It just felt like home. We’re about winning, we’re all about family and striving for excellence.”
Ketchum, who took last season off to spend more time with his family, has been coaching for 32 years including a professional coaching stint in Europe. He coached 16 seasons at Aspen and guided the Skiers to the state playoffs 16 times where his teams made 12 Sweet 16 appearances, seven advancing to the Elite Eight, two to the Final Four and one made the state championship. His Aspen record was 202-108 and he is currently CEO/Director of the Aspen Basketball Academy Camp and Travel Adventures while finishing his duties as the PE/ Health teacher at Aspen. Ketchum, 56, will be driving from his home in Basalt to Ponderosa each Friday to watch future Ponderosa players workout and see what type of players he will be coaching. He has ABA commitments in June and July but will be in Parker full time in August to concentrate on Mustang basketball. “Speed, size, skill level will determine how we are going to play,” explained Ket-
chum. “It totally depends on what we have to work with. I’ll be driving down from Aspen to spend time with skill work with these guys and try to figure out what we have to work with so they can understand what they need to work out in the spring, summer and offseason. “No matter what style we play, you are not going to win unless you have highly skilled players who are willing to work harder than everybody else and sacrifice for each other.” Ponderosa is a Class 4A basketball school playing against Class 5A teams in the Continental League and has struggled to earn a spot in the 4A state playoffs. “I love the challenge,” said Ketchum who admitted he missed coaching during his one-season sabbatical. “It is tough. You’re the little puppy at the end of rug that is playing against the big dogs. Being a smaller 4A school playing against giant 5A schools in the toughest league in the state of Colorado is going to be tough. I know what I’m up against.”

Eagles edge Ponderosa Mustangs soccer team loses battle to Heritage, 2-0 By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Ponderosa came out fired up in the second half, but was not able to put the ball in the net, losing a girls league soccer game to Heritage, 2-0. “We came out flat in the first half,” Mustangs Coach Jim Engels. “We pride ourselves in working hard the whole game. I felt we didn’t do that in the first half, and they took it to us. The second half, we took the game to them, but we just were not able to score.” Teams came out looking to take control of the tempo of play. Gradually, Heritage began to mount attacks and put pressure on the Ponderosa defense. The Eagles goal came on a penalty kick with about six minutes left in the period, and Heritage scored again about three minutes later. Ponderosa shifted gears in the second half of the April 9 game. The Mustangs did a better job of making key passes and repeatedly pushed the attacks at the Eagles goal. Unofficially, Ponderosa took 14 shots on goal. Four shots were wide of the net, two sailed high over the crossbar and Eagles goalie Ashleigh Maguire made 8 saves.
Ponderosa has a 6-4 overall record this season and has scored 25 goals. Seven players have scored goals for the Mustangs with Kennedy GrandPre leading the list with seven goals and three assists. Jansen Ellis and Madison Cataldo each have scored three goals. Meg Vassalo is the assist leader with eight and Myah Thornhill has six. Engels feels his team is playing hard, he said. The Mustangs are a 4A team and keep getting better playing the talented 5A teams, so Ponderosa will be at its best when time comes for the Class 4A playoffs, he said. It was hard to put a solid shot on goal because of the Heritage defense, Mustang forward Thornhill said. “We did a better job of attacking in the second half, but their defense was pretty good and kept me on my toes to try to get a good shot at their goal,” she said after the game. “I just try to react to the play on the field. I feel like if I think before I make a move, I overthink things and mess up.” She has scored twice so far this season and her goal is to score 10 goals before the end of the regular season and the playoffs, she said. Ponderosa continues league play. They are on the road April 21 against leagueleading Mountain Vista and then return to Sports Authority Stadium April 23 to play Highlands Ranch, a team that is 0-5 in league play.
