Titles can lift spirits, last a lifetime The meaning of a state championship can be found inside the hearts and minds of those involved By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Spring high school sports playoffs have started, and dozens of teams and hundreds of athletes in Colorado are pursuing state titles. But what does winning a championship really mean? At the high school level, MVPs don’t get invited to Disney World. Athletes generally don’t appear on talk shows. There are few national awards. In fact, a title brings little in the way of tangible rewards — hardware housed in school trophy cases, pictures of teams hung on walls and banners displayed in gyms. Still, a championship can leave an indelible mark on athletes and coaches. “I was lucky enough to be on a

The Cherry Creek girls tennis team has more championships than you can shake a racket at. Photo by Jim Benton state championship team in high school and I can recall everything about it,” said Brad Madden, who has coached Green Mountain’s baseball team to back-to-back Class 4A state titles and played on the 1994 Arvada West state championship team. “We were pretty dominating. We had (former Major League pitcher) Roy Halladay and a lot good guys. I can remember the feeling of it and being around your buddies. That’s something you’ll never forget.”

Creating a buzz Chaparral Athletic Director Rob Johnson was the boys basketball coach when the Wolverines defeated Arapahoe to win the Class 5A state title in 2012. A title, he said, creates a morale boost. “People sometimes underestimate what that does for a school,” Johnson said. “Not just the state championship game, but the whole ride getting there. The kids

For Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann, national accreditation of her office is about accountability and transparency to taxpayers who depend on her staff to explain why people have died. “It means citizens can count on us,” Romann said. “We are very invested that when something does go to litigation we are ready, or when telling a woman her husband’s cause of death, we can explain it extensively.” Romann’s office is on its way to that national distinction.

Of Colorado’s nine board-certified fellows with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators — the highest certification possible — two are in the Douglas County coroner’s office. Jill Romann is one, having received her certification in 2010. And death investigator Micheayla McClain is the other. “I feel like I’m looked at and respected more,” McClain said of her recent certification. “The biggest thing is the knowledge base and being able to investigate the death in this county to the full extent that I now know how.” Morgue continues on Page 5

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

... My Name Is

NEWS IN A HURRY

A glimpse of the people in our community

KATHY BULLEN

Moving to Colorado I moved to Colorado in 2007 from Georgia. I am originally from Massachusetts. I am married with four children ages 28, 27, 17 and 15. We relocated to Colorado for my husband’s job and settled in Castle Rock. I am a Registered Nurse, but have not worked in the nursing field for years. My specialty was neurology. Finding volunteerism When we moved to Colorado, my youngest was starting first grade. It was my first time experiencing “free time” and I decided to explore volunteer opportunities. I learned about the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, a volunteer-driven agency that assists those in need. They work out of St. Francis of Assisi church in Castle Rock. They help all those in need. I joined and found my case management skills in nursing were an excellent match to helping with the application process for these requiring financial assistance. The program grew significantly, as well as my knowledge base of agency supports for those in need. Opening the food bank In the spring of 2010, our society was approached by the Douglas Elbert Task Force to see if we would consider starting a food pantry. We received approval from Father Brad, the pastor at the church, to use space in the church and in June 2010 we opened our doors for helping those in need with food two Saturdays a month. When we opened we helped about 10 families. We now help over 100 families every time we open our doors. We have partnered with Food Bank of the Rockies, and with the use of a grant from the Phillip S. Miller Foundation we are able to offer a significant amount of food as well as non-food items.

Joining Catholic Charities In the fall of 2013 I heard about the opening of a Catholic Charities office in Castle Rock. This was an offshoot of the main office in Colorado Springs. I was at a point in my life that I could work and not just volunteer. I applied and got the assistant position. The office is, coincidentally, located at St. Francis of Assisi church. I started the client services program and in February 2015 was promoted to community case manager. I work part-time, which still allows me the ability to volunteer. We also partner with Saint Vincent de Paul through the pantry program. While they manage the formal scheduled pantries, Catholic Charities is able to use the pantry during the week to help those clients who need emergency assistance of food. Helping those in need With my work with Catholic Charities and the Saint Vincent de Paul Society I am clearly aware about the “hidden poor” in the county. Being able to work in an office and meet with the clients has allowed me to case-manage situations at a higher level and really make an impact on a client. What’s unique about me I am one of 11 children. I am a twin. I have a black belt in Taekwondo, which I received here in Colorado through Han Lees Taekwondo Academy. My daughter is still attending and is working on her third-degree black belt. My husband and 17-year-old daughter are second-degree black belts.

Castle Rock Fire and Rescue conducts wildland training burn Between now and June 30, the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department will conduct a wildland fire training burn on the Santa Fe Quarry on the west side of Castle Rock. This small, 10-acre training burn will allow firefighters to hone wildland firefighting skills while preparing the surrounding area for the annual Fourth of July fireworks show that will be shot from the top of the quarry this year, instead of Metzler Park. Here’s what to know about the training burn: • The fire department has specific guidelines and procedures on when they can and can’t perform the training burn. Weather and wind are key factors in these guidelines, which at this time of year, can provide narrow windows of opportunity to complete the training. • Flames and smoke will be visible. If you see flames and smoke, check the town’s website, CRgov.com, and social media to see if the training is being conducted. If training is being done, do not call 911. • A number of fire trucks and vehicles, as well as firefighters, will be working in the area during the training burn, and their safety along with yours is the top priority. Do not enter the training site or approach firefighters during the active burn. Bachelor Ben Higgins coming to Castle Rock Outlets at Castle Rock welcomes University of Denver alum J.J.

Recall Continued from Page 1

Petitioners needed 268 signatures. Misare on May 16 had validated 273 signatures. The required number of signatures is defined in state statute and town charter as 25 percent of the number of votes cast within the district the last time a councilmember from that district was elected. Valentine was elected to office in 2011. Her second term expires in 2018. The petition to recall Valentine — submitted by residents Jammie Linn, Amy Fienen and Sid Brooks — says Castle Rock and District 5 would be better served by a new councilmember who “supports responsible development, reduces debt by ensuring that spending does not exceed town revenues and provides the public with reasonable opportunity to address town council.” “We’re not against development, we’re

and J.J. to Outlets at Castle Rock,” said Marketing Director Andrea Nyquist. “Many of our shoppers , along with our own team, are avid ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ fans and this is sure to be a special celebration for the entire community.” The public meet-and-greet will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 21, on a firstcome, first-served basis. Fans can pose for a photo with the couple and Lane and Higgins will present the first 200 fans in line with one long stem rose. The event is free, but donations to one of Higgins’ favorite non-profit organizations, MudLOVE, are encouraged. Dedicated to providing safe, clean water to those in need, the organization raises funds through the sale of inspirational handmade creations. To stay connected and up to date on the event, use the event hashtag #OSCBACHELOR. Waterton Canyon now open with river restrictions The lower portion of Waterton Canyon reopened as scheduled on May 15. The area has been closed Monday through Saturday since Feb. 2 for construction of the High Line Canal diversion structure in the South Platte River. Access to the river from the canyon entrance to mile marker 3.2 is closed indefinitely due to high flows in the South Platte River as a result of the April storms. The high flows also prevented crews from completing the construction project by early May, as scheduled. “It’s important for the public to know that it is not safe to access the South Platte River in the lower portion of the canyon,” said Brandon Ransom, Denver Water’s manager of recreation. “We will evaluate how the construction site handles the high flows this runoff season before making any decisions on when we can reopen it.” Construction on the new dam is expected to resume in the fall when the river recedes.

against the binge development — the rapid growth,” said petitioner Sid Brooks, who emphasized the reason the recall moved forward is because residents are worried about the town’s fast-paced growth and councilmembers who are not questioning how developments affect their constituents. “We don’t want to stop growth, we just want it to be consistent with the quality of life,” Brooks said. “And that seems to be slipping away because of inattention or neglect or maybe, arguably, self-interest of councilmembers.” The next step in the recall process is a protest period in which a registered Castle Rock voter could dispute the petition. The protest period ends at the close of business on May 24. After May 24, and absent a successful protest of the petition, the question regarding Valentine’s recall will be added to the Nov. 8 general election ballot for District 5 voters. Valentine will continue to serve in office while this process takes place.

An ‘apple’ goes to the teacher Douglas County School District honors Dr. Mark Thorsen By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dr. Mark Thorsen didn’t set out to be a high school teacher, but after 20 years in the field he can’t imagine doing anything else. He originally went to the University of Illinois to pursue a degree in architecture. He changed his major and started coaching baseball and wrestling at an area high school after deciding that drafting blueprints wasn’t for him. At least, not the usual kind of blueprint. Thorsen teaches economics and European history at Ponderosa High School, but the most ambitious thing he’s designed may be a unique class called social issues and service learning. The class teaches students to identify real-world problems and draw up their own solutions to them. “I originally went into teaching for the opportunity to coach,” Thorsen said. “Now I love it regardless of coaching. And I went into history because I love history. But now I would teach anybody anything. I just have a much deeper appreciation of the craft than I could have ever anticipated.” His colleagues appreciate Thorsen as well. He was recently selected by staff from around the Douglas County School District to receive the Apple Award as Secondary Educator of the Year from the Douglas County Educational Fund. “He’s an innovative teacher,” said Jarod Nicholson, assistant principal at Ponderosa. “He’s always challenging his students… Kids love him, he’s got a great demeanor, he really focuses on relationships and he understands the importance of fostering those relationships to build rapport in the classroom.” Nicholson mentioned Thorsen’s initiative in creating Human Rights Awareness Week, an annual event at the school

Dr. Mark Thorsen, recently honored as Secondary Educator of the Year in the Douglas County School District, looks at notes on the “Think Board” in his classroom at Ponderosa High School. The board features thought-provoking quotes from people such as poet Emily Dickinson and activist Martin Luther King Jr. Photo by Tom Skelley featuring speakers from around the world to give students a global perspective on social issues. This year the class participated in the Bridge Project, sponsoring the building of classrooms in Mozambique, a country in southeast Africa considered one of the poorest in the world. The students are also drafting a proposal for the construction of a greenhouse on school grounds to teach nutrition in urban schools and provide high quality food to hungry families. Receiving the Apple Award was “incred-

ibly humbling” for Thorsen. He gave credit to his students, colleagues and family, especially his wife Chrissy, for providing him with support. The best part of the award ceremony, he said, was watching a video in which a former student, now a senior at the University of Colorado in Boulder, thanked him for making her believe she can have a positive impact on the world. “You don’t often get the opportunity to hear from students later on,” he said. “So that really meant a lot.”

Though his students and peers applaud him, Thorsen said his students are the ones who deserve the credit for making a difference. He may design the blueprint for change, but according to him, the students do the work. “I expose them to different ideas and different problems that they might not be aware of, but the extent they get involved is up to them,” Thorsen said. “I just think the students want an opportunity to make a difference, to be part of something bigger.”

Morgue Continued from Page 1

But McClain is just one piece in the puzzle of Romann’s plan to move the Douglas County morgue to national accreditation. Three more death investigators in her 13-person office are studying and preparing to take the fellow exam this summer. “Because it’s a voluntary certification, it shows how invested they are to become subject-matter experts,” said Romann, who became the county’s first coroner with medicolegal death investigation experience when she was elected in November 2014. She has 24 years in the field. “It’s allowing us to reach way deeper into science than we might have.” In Colorado, Arapahoe County and Adams County also each have two board-certified fellows with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators. The main objective of death investigators is to determine cause and manner of death. The coroner’s office, based in Castle Rock, is also in charge of identifying next of kin. They work hand-in-hand with police and sheriff’s departments by investigating past medical history. The knowledge McClain gained while studying for her certification exam, she can now apply while investigating a death. “If I go to a scene in which death circumstances aren’t immediately obvious,” she said, “I can eliminate things on a scene faster than before or hold things to a higher scrutiny.” That includes knowing the effects of specific medicines and how they react when mixed, and what to look for in a toxicology report. It’s important to note that unlike what’s portrayed on television shows, employees at the morgue are not criminal investigators, Romann said. They investigate deaths from a medical and scientific approach. “When you fall into this position, there’s a lost of shooting from the hip,” Romann said, adding that there is no degree program for medicolegal death investigators. Investigators in her office have backgrounds ranging from criminal justice to abnormal psychology. “But when you have people testing, it all falls together.” That is one reason why she and her chief deputy, Nick Lobello, are working to get the Douglas County Coroner’s Office nationally accredited through either the International Association of Coroner’s & Medical

Medicolegal death investigator C.J. Lay weighs a heart while assisting on an autopsy. Photos by Shanna Fortier Examiners or the National Association of Medical Examiners. Certification and accreditations will ensure taxpayer accountability and transparency, Lobello said. The coroner’s office is averaging a 12 percent-per-year call volume increase associated with the rise in the county’s population. Before Romann took office in 2015, the office had a 6 percent budget increase. Under Romann, the increase 2.7 percent. This she said, is because fewer autopsies are needed because of the increase of medical and scientific investigations. “When you bring someone in with a professional background,” Lobello said, “you may not do as many autopsies because of the depth of investigation you can do beforehand.” The average cost of an autopsy is about $1,500, which represents doctors’ fees and toxicology testing. The Douglas County Coroner’s Office contracts with forensic pathologists to perform autopsies. Some circumstances determined by the state and nation require autopsies. But with the advanced knowledge and certifications the morgue staff is gaining, Romann and Lobello hope to limit the the number of autopsies needed by doing more investigating before cutting. In the end, Romann said, that means less taxpayer dollars spent.

DOUGLAS COUNTY MORGUE BY THE NUMBERS 1,321 cases 12.5 percent increase from previous year 86 percent natural deaths 8 percent accident non-traffic deaths 1.2 percent traffic deaths 4.8 percent suicide deaths 0.002 percent homicide deaths 0.006 percent undetermined deaths

WHEN AN AUTOPSY IS REQUIRED An autopsy is not required for every death that comes through the coroner’s ofﬁce. State law requires an autopsy in certain cases; others are dictated by national standards. A coroner also can determine whether an autopsy is needed to determine cause and manner of death. National and state standards requiring an autopsy are many. They include when the death is: • known or suspected to have been caused by apparent criminal violence • unexpected and unexplained in an infant or child • associated with police action • apparently non-natural and in custody of a local, state, or federal institution

Battle to save Japanese program falls short School officials: Demand for class dwindling, but rising for other programs

TOTAL STUDENT REQUESTS FOR LANGUAGE PROGRAMS 2015-2016 SCHOOL YEAR 800

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

700

Despite a passionate effort by students and their former teacher to save the Douglas County School District’s only Japanese language program, Castle View High School will phase out the language from its curriculum because of declining interest, school officials said. The Japan Foundation, a Los Angelesbased nonprofit partly endowed by the Japanese government to promote cultural exchanges between the U.S. and Japan, also encouraged the school to apply for an emergency grant it offers in situations like these to help supplement the salary of a teacher for one year. But foundation director Hideki Hara said his staff — which has been in contact with Castle View officials — has conveyed to him that would be unlikely to happen. “If it were just a budget issue, the grant would be helpful,” said Assistant Principal Rex Corr, who will be principal of the Castle Rock school next year. But “it’s about student enrollment … I understand

the passion and advocacy for the program. However, we need to be sure that we are listening to all of our students when we make these decisions.” The news is disheartening to Japanese teacher Thor Kjeseth, who started the program at Castle View High School in 2007 but left at the end of the 201415 school year to teach at Smoky Hill High School in the Cherry Creek School District. “I know a lot of kids that didn’t have a place to call home and they found one in the Japanese room — that’s magic,” said Kjeseth, who started started an online petition to save the program, which as of May 10 had 447 signatures. “It attracts a very diverse group of kids. Some are into the animé, some like the art or history or martial arts. The cultural aspect is a big piece.” Data and culture Castle View officials based their decision to not offer entry-level Japanese classes in the 2016-17 school year on trend data the school compiles on its classes. According to those numbers, only 15 incoming freshmen next year requested Japanese, compared to 26 for German, 69 for French, 158 for American Sign Language (ASL) and 199 for Spanish. (The middle schools do not have programs in

Castle View has always based its programming decisions on student registration and trend data.”

Japanese, German and ASL.) The data also shows a drop from 133 students in Japanese during this school year to 98 next year. That number is similar to the 94 and 96 students in 2013-14 and 2014-15 years, respectively. And although Kjeseth said he always had about 20 students in his upper-level classes, and Aki May, teaching the program this year at Castle View, said she had 21 upper-level students, Corr said just eight students were registered for those courses next year. But for students and teachers, Japanese is about much more than enrollment numbers. Several students in this year’s Japanese classes talked about the strong cultural component evident in the yearly exchange trips between students at Castle View and in Japan; field trips to local, authentic Japanese organizations and businesses; and their good showings in the statewide Japan Cup competitions. And because Japanese culture is so different from American culture, students and teachers say learning the language

Rex Corr, Castle View assistant principal opens the door to increased global awareness. “Japan is on the other side of the world — everything is completely different,” said senior Ally Cover, 18, who completed level IV this year and will be traveling to Japan for a second summer. She also has hosted Japanese students in the past at her home and loves being able to do that. “They can learn about our culture,” she said, “and we can learn about theirs.” Japanese is classified as a Level 1 language, considered the most difficult to learn, along with Arabic, Korean and Chinese, Kjeseth said. Simply mastering the Japanese alphabet is a self-confidence booster for students, said May, who is orginally from Japan. “Many times, students’ eyes are like ‘ting,’” said May, showing a sheaf of papers with writing in Japanese from her level I students. “And now they are writing sentences — this is a really challenging language. That moment is, like, priceless.” Demand for classes But the popularity of other programs such as ASL, which reflects a nearly 40 percent growth over four years, along with budget concerns and student excitement for new offerings like upperlevel graphic design, engineering IV and forensic science also were factors in the decision to phase out Japanese, Corr said. Each year, schools can apply to the district for additional, “highly impacted” dollars to supplement site-based budgets. These funds are budgeted annu-

ally and awarded as one-time money to support schools that can demonstrate significant needs or special circumstances to warrant supplemental funding — $200,000 is available to be spread across the district. Castle View has received funding from this source in the past and applied for it again this year, but was not chosen, Corr said. To Kjeseth, the Japan Foundation’s grant would solve any budget issue. But Corr emphasized the decision was more about interest and enrollment. Corr noted that other classes such as Spanish for Leadership, Biotech II and AP Government also have been cut because of shrinking demand. “Castle View has always based its programming decisions on student registration and trend data,” Corr said. Finishing up Although the school will not offer Japanese I next year, students will be able to take levels II through IV, which will allow some students to finish the program, Corr said. Beginning in 2017-18, demand and budget will determine whether to offer upper-level classes for one last year. But junior Cliff Scott, 17, who is completing level II this year, said he will be unable to take the next two levels because the course he needs next — Japanese III — isn’t offered until second semester. (Castle View operates on a block schedule, in which students take four courses during first semester and another four during the second semester.) “Cutting the program slowly is disappointing …,” Scott said, “but to change it so that I can’t even double up and complete the program makes me pretty angry.” Raven Ranger, a senior who completed AP Japanese, feels a sense of relief that she won’t be affected. The decision, however, saddens her. She chose to attend Castle View specifically for the Japanese program. “I love taking Japanese, “ she said. Knowing it will soon be gone “makes me want to cry hard-core.”

VOICES

LOCAL

Whole lotta shakin’ can yield results While recently working with a client, I was invited to participate in a planning session with the leadership team. Having worked with this particular client I had met several of the management staff already, but this was really the first session where the CEO would also be actively involved. As the session started, the CEO immediately began to challenge everyone’s thinking. And he did so in a professional manner, but was very direct and almost to the point of intimidating the management team to the point of shutting down their participation. He pushed each one to go deeper and provide the rationale behind their thinking, belief and position. He brought the meeting to a level of intensity that really shook up the room. And then the CEO finally looked around the room and applauded his team for their contributions, thanking them for sticking to their belief systems. He wasn’t challenging them and asking hard questions to try and break them or prove his seniority or dominance, he was simply shaking things up a bit to allow people to challenge their own thinking as well as the thinking and direction that the organization as a whole was headed towards. As we left the room at the end of the day, energy levels were high, confidence was through the roof, pride was abundant and alignment of expectations were achieved. What could have seemed like a meeting

driven by a dominant and ego-driven CEO actually turned out to be a brilliant move to push the team beyond the limits of everyone going along to get along or simply saying “yes” to whatever the CEO said or wanted. This resonated with me as I was watching a Michael Norton baseball game on teleWINNING vision the other night. It was a ho-hum game WORDS at best. The score was 0-0 through the sixth inning. As the cameramen showed the dugouts of both teams throughout the game, it appeared as though everyone was bored including the players and the managers. Even the crowd in the stadium looked like they would have rather been somewhere else. And then all of a sudden one of the managers started yelling something from the dugout at one of the umpires. It seemed to be about nothing and at first looked like it was just going to blow over and the game would go on. And then the coach left the dugout and angrily approached the umpire. You didn’t have to be a professional lip reader to know what he was saying and the

body language was equally as aggressive. And, as you can imagine, the manager was ejected from the game. He started an argument over nothing and got himself tossed out of the game. But what he did was shake up and wake up his team. They went on to score a few runs that inning, the opposing team scored a few runs in their turn at bat, the crowd got back into the game, and excitement and energy seemed to be renewed. What is going on in our own lives personally or professionally where maybe we have become a little stale, a little too routine or complacent? Is there something that we can do to challenge ourselves and those around us to go deeper? Is there someone or something that needs a little shake-up and wake-up in our lives? Have we surrounded ourselves with “yes” men and women who only tell us what we want to hear? And if so, how can we ever grow or expect to progress? How about you, is it time to shake things up a bit in some way or in some area of your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can shake things up and wake up a little bit, it really will be a better than good week.

Sometimes good things come along A college friend of mine was visiting his wife in the hospital. He was actually visiting her around the clock. She had undergone an all-day operation that was Craig Marshall Smith performed by QUIET a tag team of DESPERATION surgeons. Naturally, “Jack” was very concerned about her. His apprehensions, fears and doubts were competing with his lifelong optimistic beliefs. He decided to stretch his legs. Something unusual was going on in the hall. A lot of people were gathered. He noticed that all of them were smiling, and directing their attention to a young man who was wearing a hospital gown. The young man was walking up and down the hallway, and everyone was giving him encouragement. Some were high-fiving him and patting him on the back. Jack said, “He was pushing a small suitcase-sized box with a handle in front of him. It was hooked up to him with some wires.” I started to put two and two together. Maybe I’m wrong, but someone or something was sending my friend — and others in the hospital — some good news. Jack asked what was going on This is what he was told. “That’s Victor. He’s walking to his operation. He’s going to get a new heart.” Jack said, “I still get choked up as I write this, remembering the feeling it gave me at the time. I don’t think I have ever experienced anything quite like this Smith continues on Page 11

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Students deserve better from board As a Douglas County resident, the spectacle my wife and I witnessed at the May 10 Douglas County School Board meeting was disturbing and often disrespectful! The taxpayers, parents and, most importantly, the students of Douglas County deserve better! Before I cite specific examples, let me be clear, “digs” were launched from both sides of the table. How does the seating of old board members on one side and new board members on the other foster a spirit of collaboration and cooperation? In a May 6 article, President Silverthorn, listed as one of her goals, “Time, money and resources must be invested into the classrooms with students as the priority.” Yet the board voted (not unanimously) to allow two charter schools that use an outside management model more time to resolve concerns regarding money being sent out of state ($100/ student - 400 students = $40,000 of taxpayers’ money) for said management. I guess sending money out of district in the voucher program was not good enough. I assume that once an agenda is published to the public, it’s set. Not with this board leadership. The agenda changed twice before

the meeting and then again partway through the meeting because a board member had to leave early. Seriously? My biggest “concern” of the evening occurred during the public comment sections. It takes courage to stand in front of the board and express yourself and it is the right of every member of this community to do so. It is the responsibility of every board member to treat these individuals with dignity and respect and to listen to their concerns. The actions of director Benevento were disrespectful and rude. He spent this time either playing with his phone or he was asleep, I couldn’t tell — an odd way to “build upon our relationship with the community.” On the other hand, I applaud the new board members and also Vice President Reynolds and President Silverthorn for their attentiveness under what I am sure was a difficult time given the repeated requests for their resignations. Can this dysfunctional group move to one of trust and respect? I have doubts. I do know that it will take a great deal more collaboration, cooperation and respect than was witnessed on May 10, 2016.

Consumer protection rule already applies to some The Great Recession of 2008 changed the future forever. The credit crisis distressed housing, stock market returns, unemployment and the ripple effect of all that follows a major economic decline. One of the most significant creations of consumer protection regulations in history took place. Last month, one more ruling was announced by the Department of Labor (DOL). It is the Fiduciary Rule and will be required by all investment advisors by April 2017. Back in the summer of 2008, the federal government was scrambling to instill order in the financial arena, starting with the rescue of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Then Lehman Brothers failed, AIG collapsed and Merrill Lynch was salvaged by Bank of America. The financial disaster continued with the demise of Wachovia Securities and Washington Mutual, the largest thrift. The entire U.S. financial landscape had changed in a few months. The subsequent fallout of financial institutions continued over the next several years, along with strict regulations constantly put in front of Congress. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) resolved almost 300 failed banks between 2008 and 2010. This was the largest wave of bank and thrift failures since the U.S. savings and loan crisis that ended in the early 1990s.* By mid-2010 there were nearly 780 insured institutions on the watch list with over $430 billion in aggregate assets. The FDIC increased deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor to avoid a run on the banks. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was to buy up $700 billion in toxic mortgages to clean up tarnished balanced sheets of the financial sector. This was followed by the Dodd-Frank Act instilling heavy regulation to reduce the likelihood of future financial panics and taxpayer bailouts and to improve consumer protection. The implications of Dodd-Frank are still in play. Some feel Wall Street got off too easy while others complain banks can’t function under capital requirements that tightened the supply of credit. Meanwhile, largely due to the Federal Reserve pumping liquidity into the economy, the stock market recovered and then more than doubled between 2009 and 2015. Now that the Fed help has evaporated and even changed directions in the form of an interest rate increase in late 2015, markets are floundering. This is perfect timing for another new regulation custom-tailored

before. It was an amazing moment I will never forget.” Jack gave me one of those moments too, when he competed in the 70-andover high jump at the Indoor Masters Track and Field Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in March. A lot had happened to both of us since we met in the late 1960s. The fact that I hadn’t seen him in 46 years made it even more meaningful. Admittedly, it was no Victor in the hallway, but it worked. Life is bittersweet. I went to an open casket funeral for a good friend, and I couldn’t stick around because there was too much preaching going on. On the way to the freeway, I passed a couple of teenagers eating chocolate doughnuts. It didn’t make any sense. They looked far too happy. Incongruities occur all the time.

to the retail investor, not large financial institutions. The DOL Fiduciary Rule simply states something the SEC has always required: that advisors must put their Patricia Kummer client’s interests before their own. FINANCIAL We adopted this STRATEGIES as our Code of Ethics from day one and it is part of our goal to educate and inform the community. Yet consumers may not know the difference between a fiduciary who is paid as an advisor or a broker who is paid for products. There may be significant differences between working with an independently registered firm (with the SEC) versus a bank or insurance company where their business does not fall under investment regulation. Basically the DOL has determined that consumers should be aware that someone selling a product and earning a commission may not always be objective to the client’s needs. The new rule requires that banks and investment firms must disclose their conflict of interest to you before engaging in business. You can avoid waiting a year for financial service companies to interpret and implement the new rule and seek Registered Investment Advisors who are independent and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission now. Being a fiduciary is a basic fundamental requirement for good ethical advice. We should not need a regulation to force certain companies to comply with their client’s best interests.

And life goes on, no matter what. W. H. Auden said, “Stop all the clocks, prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.” But that never happens. We sometimes abide very privately, and no one sees us sleeping in a chair, in a hospital room. I imagine that my friend looked out the window now and then, and that he could see people coming and going. And that he wanted to be one of them, going home with his wife. He did go home with his wife, and she is recovering. I’d like to be able to tell you that Victor is playing beach volleyball this afternoon, but Jack doesn’t know what happened to him. Maybe that’s not important. Victor gave Jack and everyone else in the hallway something they will never forget.

CULTURE FA I T H FA M I L Y FOOD HEALTH

Fitness trackers prove helpful with accountability By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

astle Rock resident Amber Lindstrom rarely takes her Fitbit HR Charge off her wrist: After all, it not only helps her track her daily steps, it also monitors her calorie burn, heart rate and sleep patterns. “I’m 100 percent more aware of my health,” she said. The 36-year-old travel agent stepped into the Fitbit world two years ago when she bought the Fitbit Flex as a motivation to be more active. “I felt that if I could get my daily steps in, I would be on my way to being more active,” Lindstrom said. And that has happened — the fitness tracker helps push her a little further each day. The idea of tracking steps or walking to achieve better health is nothing new. But the capabilities of wearable fitness trackers are constantly innovating to provide users with a more complete understanding of their personal health. Fitbit, the leading fitness tracker, came on the market in 2007 with a ramped-up version of the traditional pedometer. In 2011, Jawbone, a leading computer technology company, released UP, its version of the wearable technology. Since then, technology and fitness companies like Garmin, Under Armour and Microsoft have jumped on board creating their own products. Depending on the product you choose, users can track swimming, know how many minutes they were restless during sleep, and know when they’ve hit their target heart rate. For most users, though, it starts with a step. “Before, I always thought I put in a lot of

steps, but you don’t realize it until you track it,” Lindstrom said. “Some days I thought I walked a lot, but then I saw that I was only at 5,000 or 6,000.” The daily step goal on the Fitbit and most fitness trackers is 10,000 steps a day — the equivalent of about five miles. Many health experts cite the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day, including lower blood pressure levels and better cardiovascular fitness. It has also been reported that 10,000 steps a day helps lower blood glucose levels and cuts the risk of developing diabetes. Oral Roberts University, a Christian university in Tulsa, Oklahoma, believes so much in the health benefits of walking that it recently announced a requirement for all incoming freshmen to wear fitness trackers. The fitness data of all first-year students will be tracked by the school — and will contribute to their grades, said Oral Roberts University Provost Kathaleen Reid-Martinez in a press release. The fitness requirement at the university isn’t new, but embracing the wearable technology will replace handwritten logs and add accountability for students. Accountability is something boot camp instructor Josh Stanton said is important and he expects it from his clients. When a client doesn’t show up for a workout, Stanton, owner of Generation Fitness in Parker and Castle Rock, calls or texts him or her. Fitness trackers also are one way people can hold themselves accountable, he said. “I think it’s an awesome accountability step for people to get into.” For Lindstrom, her Fitbit both keeps her accountable and encourages her. Since she links hers to the iPhone app, Lindstrom gets messages throughout the day notifying her that she is “2,000 steps away from her goal” and to “keep it up.” Or to tell her that she needs to “get moving!” “It keeps motivating me and cheers me on throughout the day,” Lindstrom said. She also likes the competitions feature. Fitbit allows users to compete against other users in weekly challenges like the Workweek Hustle and the Weekend Warrior. “I’m a very competitive person when it comes to doing the challenges,” Lindstrom said. “I strive for more than my usual — 15,000 to 20,000 (steps) a day. I think it really pushes you to a new level.”

Cowboy Ball raises money to support agricultural programs Photos by Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com

Jameson Benson, 2016 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Queen, and Shelby Schroeder, 2016 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo attendant, greet event attendees at the Cowboy Ball.

The Wild West was the theme of the third-annual Cowboy Ball and casino night held May 14 to benefit the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Foundation. Money raised will go toward purchasing new crowns and other needs to support the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Royalty Program and the future expansion of the Beef Educational Grant Program.

“The unique thing about the rodeo royalty program is it provides these girls a purpose,” said Miss Rodeo Colorado Madelaine Mills. “They go out there and they are advocating and representing not only the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo, but for agriculture as well.” John Medved, owner of Medved Autoplex, was also honored for being a major supporter of the fair and rodeo for more than 17 years. “We believe that ranching and agriculture are an integral part of both history and present-day lifestyle,” said Medved, who is a rancher himself. This year’s Douglas County Fair and Rodeo is scheduled for July 23 through Aug. 7.

Dustin Devine and the Real Deal provided musical entertainment at the event.

Zane Adams greeted event attendees dressed as a rodeo clown. He hopes to one day make rodeo clowning his profession.

Festivities on tap for Elizabeth celebration

Community Rodeo offers new, old events in lead-up to Stampede

Saddles Drill Team and includes family-favorite events like saddle broncs, bareback riding, mutton bustin’ and a new event that Martin is especially excited about — chute doggin’. The idea for chute doggin’ is basically the same as in steer wrestling, in which a steer is released from a chute and a rider lassos it and wrestles it to the ground. The twist in chute doggin’ is that the participant isn’t on a horse — he or she is in the chute with the steer. As soon as the gate opens, Martin said, both man and beast rocket out of the chute, tussling and turning until one triumphs. The event is open to anyone and no prior registration is required. “If you think you’re tough enough, or if your friends think

The event is open to children up to 55 pounds between 4 and 7 years old and all protective equipment is provided.

park May 14. The park is named in honor of banker and philanthropist Philip S. Miller. The town of Castle Rock was one of several recipients gifted trust monies from Miller and his wife, Jerry. The new plaza includes group picnic pavilions, an outdoor fireplace, additional restrooms and a splash pad — which Castle Rock resident Erica Varga’s children are most ex-

cited about. “When they found out, they wanted to be here all summer,” she said, as her children ran through the play area with water shooting from the ground. The much-anticipated amphitheater will bring live entertainment with the new Celebration Concert Series, which kicks off Saturday, May 21.

A beautiful mind Exhibit shines spotlight on issue of mental illness By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The centerpiece of the 2016 Leadership Jefferson County class’ Art of Mind exhibit is a painting of a dog by Julia Fleming. The painting is the last work she created before taking her own life in last August, and served as the inspiration for her husband Jeremy Fleming, a member of the 2016 Leadership class, to create the exhibit. “This started about a month after Julia passed, when our class was at a retreat, brainstorming what our project should be,” he said. “We came up with the idea of an art exhibit that would look at mental illness in Julia’s memory.” The exhibit opened on May 10 at 40 West Arts Gallery, 1560 Teller St., and runs through May 21. All the works were created by artists who are fighting their own battles with mental illness, or whose lives have been touched by mental illness. “I’m incredibly proud of this exhibit, and Jeremy, who has shown incredible strength and inspiration,” said Krista Lewis, director of development with the Jefferson Center for Mental Health and a member of the Leadership class. “We had so many entries, and it shows how mental

illness is an issue for all of us. This art gives voice to that.” The Leadership class, family and supporters were all on hand for the May 11 opening. The event was emceed by 9 News’ Whitney Wild, and featured representatives from Carson J. Spencer Foundation, Jefferson Center for Mental Health and Second Wind Fund, because all the money raised from the exhibit goes to support their suicide prevention efforts. “The issue of suicide prevention is important for all of us,” said Jeanne Oliver, vice-president of marketing and development for the Jefferson Center for Mental Health. “The fact that Jeffco Leadership brings so many people together for a project like this is so great.” Area mayors from Lakewood, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Westminster and Arvada selected their favorite pieces, and winners were chosen by Wheat Ridge artist Benjamin Rogers. The real winners are the beneficiary organizations, which will be able to continue to prevent suicide thanks to these funds. “We’re only able to do what we do because of community support,” said Richard Eveleigh, executive director of Second Wind. “Art is not only great for the person creating it, but the people who see it. It’s a powerful outlet.” To donate online, visit www.coloradogives.org/theartofmind.

Learning the value of hard work

Continued from Page 1

are so excited and the fan base doubles and triples. For any sport, it’s great.” Pomona won state titles this season in gymnastics and wrestling and was second in football and softball. “Winning a state championship sets the tone for the school year,” said Pomona Athletic Director Michael J. Santarelli. “The success unites the student body and the faculty. It creates the ultimate connection of academics and extracurricular activities. It also reaffirms that you as a school are doing something that is creating better people.” Ponderosa Athletic Director Tim Ottmann, who guided the Mustangs to eight of the school’s 10 state wrestling titles when he was head coach, said championships help draw positive attention to the south Parker community. At the same time, community support helps build title-winning teams. “To win a state championship,” he said, “you have to have the athletes who are willing to work hard, great coaching and you have to have parent support getting their kids places and supporting the coach.” Building on success Raising championship banners can help create a culture of winning. Cherry Creek leads the state with 193 titles across all sports. Veteran coach Marc Johnson has won eight baseball championships. “Winning a state championship does make a difference in people’s mindset,” Johnson said. Rod Sherman is Valor Christian’s former athletic director and current football coach. The Eagles have won 16 state titles since 2007, including six in football. Winning a championship “creates excitement for the kids and validates all the work they have done,” Sherman said. “Unfortunately, we live in a society that sometimes success is the most important thing

For student athletes, winning a state championship means more recognition and special memories. But it also reinforces a lesson about hard work. “Everybody was so supportive,” said Pomona junior gymnast Annabel Spencer after the Panthers captured the state title last winter. “People never knew we even had a gymnastics team, and all of a sudden we won and they were like, ‘What?’ “ When Spencer would tell them she was on the gymnastics team, they would respond with “ ‘Oh, I heard you guys did so well this year’. People notice us now. This was one of the greatest memories that has happened in high school for me.” Valor Christian senior football player Booker Schelhaas learned about the value of dedication from last season’s 5A football title run. “It wasn’t the game that meant as versus the journey — and that’s the hard thing about championships. But the great thing is the banners that get hung up in the gyms and kids can come back for decades and know I was a part of something special.” And tere can be a snowball effect. “With open enrollment and choice, people begin to make decisions based upon the success of athletic programs early in seventh and eighth grade and maybe before that,” Ottmann said. “People want to be around winners. State championships do draw athletes to a school for a specific sport, especially if they maintain that level of success for a while.” Thanks for the memories Winning a state title in the spring is sometimes overlooked as classes are all but over for the school year. Rock Canyon won the Class 5A state baseball title last spring in a tournament that wasn’t decided until May

much to me but the process,” he said. “When the game was over, I got emotional because of the thought of all those days in the weight room, four years of working hard, all the team stuff to pull us together. The championship was the icing on top, but it was more of process. It taught me a lot.” Cherry Creek won last spring’s state lacrosse title and junior Asher Nolting definitely noticed more students and opposing teams took notice. “We definitely got a little more recognition in the hallway with ‘good job,’ ‘great game’ or ‘congrats,’ “ he said. “It was great to see a lot of hard work paid off and people noticing. People start to know your name in halls.” And, he added, “the season after winning a state championship that team is always on the other team’s mind. You are the target that everyone wants to beat.” 27 because of rain delays. After the Jaguars won, coach Tyler Munro returned to school the next day and the building was almost empty. While high school championship teams don’t get parades like the Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos, it’s possible the memories and inspiration will last just as long for those involved. “Overall, a state championship just builds school pride that is sometimes kind of missing these days,” Madden said. “For a smaller school like Green Mountain and the community, it sort of builds a sense that I can go to my neighborhood school and still accomplish something. “Green Mountain is an older school,” he said. “It’s pretty neat to see the people that had gone to school a long time ago come back and stick their head in the dugout and say, ‘I played baseball here.’”

Jacob Wolfe’s first theatrical role was in a firstgrade play. Since then, the president of Troupe 7117, Castle View High School’s Theatre Company, has participated in more than 40 productions. One of his most recent is this year’s portrayal of Gaston in Castle View’s production of “Beauty and the Beast.” He will be pursuing a degree in film acting at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, California.

My favorite part about high school was ... I have had the opportunity to work in theater with students from all over Colorado. I ﬁnd that the theater has allowed me to be fearless; the many actors with whom I have studied have given me support and encouragement. Kelly McAllister has been a director that taught me to own the stage. High school has been a series of tragedies, comedies and histories.

As I head into the next chapter of my life, I’m most excited about ... The next chapter Jacob Wolfe If you really my life is a film, knew me, you’d CASTLE VIEW inmany films.

Katie Pickrell was co-editor-inchief of Mountain Vista Media, which includes the school’s Aerie yearbook, the Eagle Eye newsmagazine and the Vista Now website. On her personal webpage, she describes herself as a designer, photographer, videographer and a leader. She will attend the University of ColoradoBoulder next fall and major in journalism or communication and political science.

My favorite part of high school was … My freshman year I didn’t really have much motivation to do anything, so I was doing really bad in my classes and just having a rough time with life in general … Once I took Intro to Journalism, though, I completely fell in love with the class and decided that I wanted to make it the most important thing in my life. My entire education since then has worked around my media schedule, allowing me to focus on journalism and English classes that are more applicable to what I want to do in life.

Ashley Bradley spent most of her time in high school focusing on art.

She was also a member of the cheerleading squad, which won two state titles and ﬁnished in the top ﬁve at nationals three years in a row. Bradley will attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and study painting in the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program.

My favorite part about high school was … Coming together as an entire school for events.

Passionate We all truly love what we do — and becoming better at it. We have kids who love sports, kids who love academics, and kids who love theater. But despite the differences in what we enjoy, we all have a desire to continue it and become better at it . . . It brightens my day to see the student that doesn’t talk a lot in class become so excited to talk about something that they love. Kelly Grier, Chaparral High School

WHAT WORD BEST DESCRIBES YOUR CLASS? Ambitious

As a whole, my class has always striven to be the best that we can be in all aspects of life, both inside and outside the school. Whether visible through the highly competitive academic atmosphere among our class members, the record-setting achievements that we have led our school to accomplish, or the countless hours we have given back to the community, it is clear that my graduating class sets our sights high and will not settle for anything less. Molly Corlett, Chaparral High School

Talented Douglas County’s senior class is a very diverse group of individuals. We all come from different backgrounds and cultures. Because DC is an IB school, we offer a lot more choices and opportunity such as, FFA, AP, CTE and a strong balance of academics, athletics and activities. Kyleigh Kappas, Douglas County High School

Family Although this word may get thrown around a lot, the value of the word has not lost its signiﬁcance. We have truly grown since our freshman year — we’ve come together as one in tough times. We watch out for one another and we care for one another no matter what happens. Speciﬁcally, after the suicides and gun/ bomb threats our junior year, we came together and that’s when we really started to watch out for each other and become a much closer class. We have survived the high school experience together, and we have all changed into such incredible and motivated adults who are the future of our society. Ryan Simpson, Douglas County High School

Unique I feel Douglas County High School is an overall positively different/ unique place to get your high school education. Physically, we have a very large school that has to be separated into two buildings, as well as massive stadium on our property. DCHS is an International Baccalaureate school, which allows its students to be given an internationally recognized education that can always be applicable to the real world. Finally, so many parts of Castle Rock feed into our school, creating a large amount of diversity throughout students and staff. I know I speak for myself, as well as others, when I say we have friends from around the globe. Dylan Gessner, Douglas County High School

I have greatly enjoyed my time at Lutheran with this amazing class that I have been blessed to be a part of — there was never a dull moment with this group. Matthew Hanson, Lutheran High School

Constancy

I like this word because it means being faithful and dependable. We are a class that hasn’t changed much over the past four years and we have always been dedicated to what we do. We show up day in and day out and that’s something people can count on with us. We show endurance and that is my favorite thing about my class. Morgan Barone, Lutheran High School

Leadership

Over the past four years, the class of 2016 has produced many leaders in sports, academics, music, theater and service. We have a large number of students graduating this year who have been instrumental in leaving an impact in each of those areas. Some have been vocal leaders while some have led and made a difference through their actions. From leading in the classroom to outside of school, this class will be greatly missed for its leadership — and big shoes will need to be ﬁlled next year. Beth Vanderhyde, Lutheran High School

Leadership

You won’t ﬁnd another high school as tightly knit and more supportive of one another in and out of school as that at Ponderosa. It’s what simply makes small schools unique because students are willing to make bonds with new individuals and take pleasure doing it! Grant Zimmerman, Ponderosa High School

$207 million project is scheduled to be completed in 2019 By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The Regional Transportation District, Douglas County and the City of Lone Tree broke ground on the new Southeast Light Rail extension May 10 in Lone Tree. The light rail extension from Lincoln Station to the end of-the-line station at RidgeGate Parkway and Havana Street was approved by Colorado voters in 2004 as part of RTD’s FasTracks Program. When completed, the rails will connect service from Lone Tree to Denver International Airport and as far north as Boulder. Construction is expected to be completed in 2019, and according to RTD, the

total estimated cost is $207 million, or about $90 million per mile. Construction was to begin May 16. “I believe that our light rail system here is going to be the core of a future that we are all going to benefit from,” Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said. Gunning praised the project, saying that it was at the center of future transportation in the region. “This is a transformational project,” Gunning said. “It is going to be the core of the future of mobility. You have to look ahead and see what is coming. This light rail extension is a core piece. And we’re going to have smart cars and other types of transportation that will allow us access to things.” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said the investment in the rail line is an investment in the community. “Research tells us that

when we invest $1 in transportation we get back $4,” Partridge said. “The investments into this project are really investments into Douglas County and Lone Tree.” The City of Lone Tree, the Rampart Range Metropolitan District and Douglas County have each pledged $7.3 million along with the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District, which kicked in $3 million, for a total contribution of around $25 million. The three new stations will be located at Sky Ridge Avenue (near the Sky Ridge Medical Center), the Lone Tree City Center and an end-of-line station at RidgeGate Parkway with 1,300 parking spaces. “History tells us that whenever transportation improvements are made, cities and their citizens reap the benefits,” Partridge said. “This project will be another great example of that.”

Lakeside Amusement Park, which opened in 1908, was once nicknamed White City for its glittering display of more than 100,000 lights. It was a park with 50 forms of amusement ranging from a railway to a casino. Elitch Gardens, opening in 1890, had one of the first zoos west of Chicago and was the site of Denver’s first motion picture theater. During the 1950s two new ventures threatened the dominance of Denver’s established amusement parks and Forsyth will discuss what happened to these projects. Copies of David Forsyth’s book, Denver’s Lakeside Amusement Park, will be available for purchase and signing. Call 303-795-3961.

Republicans make case for business GOP hopefuls hold debate in bid to take on Bennet By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com The focus was on business as the five Republicans fighting for a shot to unseat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet debated May 12 at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Business is “what we care about most,” said moderator Pete Casillas, publisher and president of the Denver Business Journal. The campaign has been overshadowed by controversy over ballot signatures for various candidates, including Jon Keyser, a lawyer and former state representative who is battling reports that some of the signatures gathered for the petition to put him on the ballot were forged. Darryl Glenn, a retired Air Force Office and El Paso commissioner, and Jack Graham, a former high-risk insurance executive and Colorado State University athletic director, have avoided any ballot controveries. Ryan Frazier, a former Aurora City councilmember, is waiting for the Colorado Supreme Court to hear his appeal. And a Denver District Court ruling restored Robert Blaha, a former banker and business consultant, to the ballot. The debate managed to focus primarily on business issues. Casillas asked the following questions: What would you do to create an environment where small businesses can take risks? Graham said that a lower corporate tax rate would help businesses, including small businesses. “Our corporate tax rate in America is 35 percent, the state corporate tax rate is 4.1 percent, so we pay a corporate tax rate of 39.1 percent,” he said, saying this is double the corporate rate of many European countries. “Businesses are leaving Colorado, businesses are leaving the United States, not because they’re disloyal Americans but because they can’t compete.” Tax rates and regulatory burdens, keep small businesses from attracting capital investment, Graham said. Blaha is counting on his experience as a former banker to set him apart. Blaha said he would go after federal organizations that impose regulations. Keyser, also an Air Force reserve officer, pointed out many big businesses have found ways around the high corporate tax rate. And many small businesses pay at the individual tax rate, he said, so overall tax reform is needed. What speciﬁc federal regulation would you change? Keyser singled out the

Dodd-Frank Act passed in 2010 in response to the recession as a regulation he would like to roll back. Meant to keep large banks in check, Keyser said the law makes it hard for small banks to survive because they need to expend employee time to comply with the law. Graham said he has a difficult time pointing to just one regulation, calling it a “systemic issue.” Federal agencies are allowed to write their own rules and regulations, something he said needs to change. Frazier said the Affordable Care Act keeps businesses from growing and hiring full-time employees. Glenn, a former Colorado Springs City councilmember, echoed that point and called out what he says is a “war on coal” waged by the Obama administration. Elaborate on your thoughts on federal energy policy Keyser used the question to talk about national security. “Energy security is national security,” he said. He noted that Colorado is one of the largest energyproducing states, and that progressive organizations want to ban hydraulic fracturing and other oil and gas-drilling techniques. Such laws, he said, would not only affect energy workers, but secondary jobs as well. Glenn said his experience as a county commissioner gives him the knowledge of land use laws necessary to deal with drilling issues. Graham brought up climate change, saying in the high-risk insurance industry he studied atmospheric science data to assess hurricane risk. Consensus among scientists is that humancaused climate change is real, Graham said, but changes are likely to be slow. He also said that it is important to get as much energy from within the United States as possible.

Taxes, corporate inversion infrastructure, healthcare All candidates spoke of simplifying the tax code and flattening it into a less progressive system. The candidates also fielded a question on corporate inversions, a term for companies setting up foreign entities to buy their operations and move them abroad, with most answers including lower corporate tax rates. On a question about infrastructure investment, Graham suggested the fuel tax be changed to a mileage-based tax to better fund highway construction. Frazier said that taxes don’t need to be increased to pay for infrastructure, but that more leases for oil and gas exploration on federal land could generate the necessary revenue. On health care, all five candidates lamented the Affordable Care Act, saying more consumer choice is necessary to bring down costs.

Future bright for Chaparral Cherry Creek eliminates Wolverines from state playoffs By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral boys lacrosse coaches lined up and shook hands with players as they walked out of the visitors dressing room at the Stutler Bowl. It was bittersweet for head coach Kevin Graefe. Defending state champion Cherry Creek downed the Wolverines 10-6 on May 11 in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs to end Chaparral’s season with an 11-5 record. “Yes, it was bittersweet,” said Graefe. “It was very abrupt. It was like ripping a Band-Aid off.” Chaparral’s playoff roster had 13 seniors and 14 underclass players, including nine sophomores. And that’s what left Graefe in a quandary. “It was a great season,” said Graefe. “I would say there is probably not a team in the playoffs that relied on sophomores the way we did this year. We had a lot of sophomores. We had a lot of seniors that had an impact, but we also had lot of sophomores in the program. And you don’t see that on playoff teams.” Although Graefe is looking forward to “a great year” next season, he also will miss the seniors. “They were very impactful and worked hard,” he said. “I started coaching most of these seniors when they were in seventh grade, so I’ve known all these guys for a long time. It’s tough to see them go.” In statistics through 15 games, junior Trevor Orndoff was Chaparral’s scoring leader with 27 goals and 18 assists for 45 points. Sophomore Alek Jacobson and senior Noah Dahm each had 33 points. Dahm had 31 goals and Jacobson 20. Sophomore Brett Boos led the Continental League and the state

Jacobson, Orndoff, Dahm, Michael Pittman, Jake Graefe and Hunter Graefe scored, but Chaparral could get no closer in the second half than

two goals to the Bruins. “We got close at times, we just didn’t keep the momentum,” added coach Graefe. “We had four players that had playoff experience. We’ll bring back a lot with playoff experience next year.”

Rock Canyon girls have eye on golf tourney Jaguars will be team to watch at championships in Aurora

STATE QUALIFIERS South Metro golfers who have qualified for the May 23-24 Girls State Golf Championships are listed below. The 5A tournament is at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora while the 4A tournament will be held at Pueblo Country Club

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon has come close the past two springs, and the Jaguars’ girls golf team will again be a contender during the Class 5A state championships. The state tournament will be held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Club in Aurora. Rock Canyon, which won the 2009 Class 4A state championship, has been the 5A runner-up the past two years. The Jaguars won the 5A Western Regional in Grand Junction on May 10 to qualify its four-girl team for the state tournament. At the state tourney, the top two teams from each of four regional qualifying events will have four-girl teams, but only the scores of the top three golfers each day are included in the team standings. Schools that have at least three individual qualifiers can also compete for the team title. “What it takes at state is three solid golfers,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “For most teams it is usually the top three girls that make or break you. They have to play well. The team that has that solid fourth player has a distinct advantage. You need that fallback player.” Golf continues on Page 43

Nothing like glue to keep a team together Glue is an adhesive used to stick things together. It’s also often difficult to remove from your hands. So it is only fitting to declare that senior Alyssa Kaiser was the glue that held Ralston Valley’s girls soccer team together. Injuries sidelined as many as eight starters during the season but Kaiser, the Jefferson County League Player of the Year, was a leader who helped the team focus and play well. “She’s the one senior that didn’t get hurt and she’s the one player that continued to do her role as a center midfielder in passing the ball, even though her top targets weren’t there Jim Benton anymore because they OVERTIME were sitting down,” said Ralston Valley coach Kamee Morwood. “She continued to be a leader on the field and off the field and to encourage her teammates. “She came in as a freshman and really helped changed Ralston Valley soccer. Her points are divided between assists and goals and that is not the norm.” Kaiser, who signed to play soccer at the University of Tulsa, finished the season with 56 points on 19 goals and 18 assists and helped the Mustangs to a 10-5-1 record after a first-round playoff loss to Rock Canyon. “It was really difficult,” admitted Kaiser. “I had to work a lot harder and I had to trust other teammates that I hadn’t played with all the time. It was really difficult for us, but we powered through it and made it to the playoffs. I love distributing the ball to people and making them look good.” Tradition looming this season in baseball The diamond, I’ve noticed, has become a bit more smart-looking this season. More baseball teams and several individual players are wearing their baseball uniforms the way they were designed to be worn with stirrups showing. It’s the old-school way. The traditional way. In the 1990s, most professionals started wearing their pants down to their cleats without the stirrups (uniform socks) showing. Glad to see some young players are not following the trend. 5A lacrosse pairings on the mark Whenever pairings are announced to state playoff competition there is always some head-scratching from coaches, players and parents. This season, the boys Class 5A lacrosse pairings were right on the mark as the four top seeds advanced into semifinals, which were held May 18. No. 4 Cherry Creek played top-seeded Regis Jesuit and No. 2 Mountain Vista challenged No. 3 Arapahoe. Names, potential are similar The state track meet for all classifications will be held May 19-21 at Jefferson County Stadium and two freshman girls with similar names could be heard from — if not this weekend — then in the future. Arapahoe’s Anna Hall, whose older sister Julia also is a standout, won the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and the high jump during the May 12-14 Centennial League meet. Anna Hart of ThunderRidge was the Continental League champion in the 400 meters and triple jump to help the Grizzlies win the team title. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Fairview snaps Creek’s 19-year streak Mountain Vista, Ponderosa serve up title wins also By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

There was a breaking news story May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center: Cherry Creek did not win the Class 5A State Tennis Tournament. It was close, but Fairview won a decisive No. 3 singles championship match that featured two freshmen. Sophie Pearson of the Knights defeated the Bruins’ Sayuri Garud, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Fairview earned three points for that victory and the Knights finished with 69 points to 66 for runner-up Creek. Creek had captured 19 straight state titles and 20 of the past 21 before this

season. The Bruins have won 33 girls state titles, so it’s newsworthy when some other team is crowned the state champion. “That’s just kind of how it is,” said Cherry Creek coach Chris Jacob. “I hope Fairview gets a chance to celebrate. It’s a big deal what they accomplished. I hope the focus will be on their win instead of our loss.” The Bruins did win the 2016 sportsmanship trophy voted on by coaches, players and tennis officials, in addition to their runners-up hardware. “I’m super proud and really happy with the way the girls played,” added Jacob. “They really deserved the sportsmanship award because they carried themselves in a really lovely way. We could not have asked for more. They always competed.”

Cherry Creek played without two state champions from last season. One decided not to play this spring and the other transferred. Creek sophomore Micha Handler completed an undefeated season by winning the No. 2 singles title with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Poudre’s Alessia Fabiano. “I thought I played really well,” said Handler. “She was a real good competitor. “We had some really good points and it was a really fun match. I’m happy that I won. It was a tough match. The score really didn’t show that.” Cherry Creek’s Allison Murphy and Emily Wilkens won the No. 2 doubles championship. Garud was second. Gloria Son, a two-time state champion at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, was third at Tennis continues on Page 43

DC/CV swim team grabs ﬁfth spot in league meet Relay teams and two swimmers qualify for state meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of the Douglas County/ Castle View team finished fifth with 262 points at the May 14 Continental League A Swimming and Diving Championship Meet held at Heritage High School. “We have a small roster of about 20 swimmers and we are a young team with only one senior on our roster,” said Tim Byers, Douglas County/Castle View coach. “We have a few kids who swim on club teams, but most of our kids only compete in swimming during the high school season.” All three of his team’s relays qualified for state and two swimmers, Barrett Lohr and Jacob Thompson, qualified for state in multiple events, Byers said. The state

Ben Gadeken, a member of the Douglas County/Castle View swim team, competes in the C Finals at the May 14 Continental League Championship Swimming Meet. Photo by Tom Munds meet will be held May 20-21 at the Air Force Academy. Two-time defending champion Highlands Ranch amassed 818 points to again win the team title. Regis finished second by scoring 542 points, edging Heritage

with 539 points. The Parker High School Swim was fourth with 435 points. Being high in the standings in events is challenging for athletes who only compete during the high school season, Byers noted. “The season is short and goes fast, plus there is spring break right in the middle of the season,” the coach said. “The spring break presents the added challenge of keeping all the guys in shape when they are out of the water.” So he and his coaches focus on helping the athletes develop and improve their swimming skills in the short amount of time available. “The kids work hard and I think everyone has done a good job, so these boys are competitive at events like this meet as they go up against athletes from teams that are two or three times the size of our team,” Byers said. Junior Barrett Lohr posted the best finishes for the team. He was second in

the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 200-yard freestyle. He also joined forces with Diego Gallardo, Jacob Thompson and Gavin Claxton to finish fourth in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Team member Cullen Pirie is a junior who got into swimming because his dad was state swimmer through high school and pushed him and his brothers into the sport. “I did what dad asked me to do and I came to love the sport,” he said. “For one thing, I got to swim with my two older brothers and that was a lot of fun. Also, I came to really enjoy the individual competitiveness of the sport.” Pirie said his favorite stroke is the freestyle, the fastest stroke in all of swimming. “My favorite event is the 50-yard freestyle,” he said. “I will be working during the off season to get faster in the water because my goal for next season is to qualify and do well at state.”

ThunderRidge bends but doesn’t break Grizzlies advance with 1-0 win over Rock Canyon By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Game summary: ThunderRidge had several good scoring chances in the second half of a scoreless Class 5A second-round playoff game against Rock Canyon on May 13 at Shea Stadium. Sophomore defender Maddie Duren didn’t appear to have much of a chance to score. But she did, with 4:07 remaining in the match to give ThunderRidge a 1-0 win over the Jaguars in a matchup of Continental League teams. “Maddie got a real special bend on whether it was shot or a cross — who knows?” said ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith. “She got a heck of bend on it. She’s been doing it all season. She has a couple other goals like that. She catches keepers off all the time. She is a great outside back and she

ThunderRidge’s Maddie Duren (9) and Rock Canyon’s Katie Mundwiller (16) nearly collide and ﬁght for position. ThunderRidge scored the lone goal to win the second-round playoff game 1-0. Photo by Paul DiSalvo comes up and can be a weapon as an attacker. She’s a heck of a player.” Key Moments: Duren scored her fourth goal of the season when she lifted the ball high from the left of the penalty area

and the ball wound up in the goal’s right upper right corner. “If I’m being honest, I was going for cross,” she said. “But sometimes you need a little luck in the game of soccer. I guess I just got lucky and hit a good

shot on the frame. It checked the keeper and it went in.” Key players/statistics: ThunderRidge controlled the play most of the game and wound up with seven corner kicks compared to one for the Jaguars. Duren, whose older sister Kylee is a senior midfielder, took the corner kicks and finally got the game-winning goal. They said it: ThunderRidge, which shut out Boulder 2-0 in a May 10 first round game, pressed more in the second half to pressure the Jaguars’ defense. ”We changed things up a little at halftime,” explained Smith. “We saw both teams were playing safe. All the credit goes to Rock Canyon — they were playing smart by keeping the ball and making us chase a little bit here and there. “We made a couple adjustments to press a little bit higher, get some more opportunities and it worked especially in the second half. We just kept in down in their end. It was just that nothing was dropping. “ ThunderRidge avenged a 1-0

loss to Rock Canyon during the Continental League season. “We lost to that team in league and we definitely wanted to come out and get redemption,” Maddie Duren said. “We wanted to come out and show them we were the better team.” Rock Canyon coach Mat Henbest admitted the Jaguars were on their heels most of the second half, unlike in the 2-0 opening round win over Ralston Valley on May 10. “That second half we spent most of the time trying to battle in our own end,” he said. “I kept thinking we might get a chance. ThunderRidge is a really good team and they played well. We were up to the task, but someone had to come up on top. To finish 13-4 is a real solid season. That’s a lot to be happy about. Only one team is going to end up not crying in the end.” Going forward: ThunderRidge (13-3-1) played last season’s state runners-up Broomfield (14-2-1) in the May 18 quarterfinals. Semifinals are scheduled for May 21.

Grand-slam homer puts game out of reach Ralston Valley goes to 5A state tourney with win over Legend By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media It ended up taking one pitch to win a state baseball playoff game in a big way. And it was a grand way to win. The one pitch resulted in a grand slam home run by Ralston Valley’s Josh Robinson with the score tied 9-9 against

Legend, but with only one out. The result of Robinson’s home run enabled Ralston Valley to defeat Legend 13-9 and move on in the Class 5A state tournament. Legend started the game in fine fashion. The Titans jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a single by Sam Beyer and back-to-back home runs by Kyle Cardona and Jordan Stubbings. Ralston Valley scored two runs in the second inning, but fell behind, 5-2, in the third.

However, two-run innings by Ralston Valley in the third and fourth innings and one more in the fifth gave the Mustangs a 7-5 lead. Legend went up 9-7, scoring one run in the sixth and three more in the seventh. From that point, it appeared the Titans could pull out the win. It was a fine day’s effort by Ralston Valley teammates Levi Leisenring and Brian Hendrickson. “This certainly was a great finish and shows the versatility in our team,” said Leisenring. “Our home runs came at the

right time. We had nine today and that certainly was a key to our success. We just were not about to give up and we wanted to finish on a high note.” It was a tough loss for Legend, coached by Scott Fellers. “We had a good team effort today,” said Fellers. “We were able to get off to a fast start, but in the end, things didn’t go our way. The boys have done a good job all year ... We played hard, but they were able to get big hits against us and they were hitting the ball where we weren’t.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 16, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A once-harmonious relationship appears to be hitting some sour notes. Spend some time together to see why things have gone off-key. What you learn might surprise you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel a need to make some changes. Good -- you can do it on a small scale (some new clothes, for example), or go big and redecorate your home and/or office. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Control your tendency toward early boredom. A situation in your life might be taking a long time to develop, but patience pays off. Stay with it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel that you’re on an emotional roller coaster this week. Don’t fret; just ride it out and let things settle down. A Pisces shows understanding. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Do something different for once -- compromise. A stubborn stand on an important issue proves counterproductive. You need to be open to new ideas. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend offers advice that you perceive as an act of betrayal. But before you turn against the messenger, pay attention to the message.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A year of riding an emotional pogo stick finally settles down. Use this calmer period to restore frayed relationships and to pursue new opportunities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your words can sting, so be careful how you respond to a friend’s actions. A calm approach could produce some surprising facts. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful about whose secrets you’re being asked to keep. They could impose an unfair burden on a straight arrow like you.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you prefer taking the tried-and-true course in life, be adventurous this week and accept a challenge that can open new vistas. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your strong sense of justice helps you deal with a job- or school-related situation. Stay with your principles. A Sagittarius emerges as a supporter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to build a stronger on-the-job support system to convince doubting colleagues that your innovative proposals are workable. BORN THIS WEEK: You might not say much, but you’re capable of extraordinary achievements. You are a loyal friend and a devoted family person. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Custom Collection at The Club at Ravenna As the luxury end of the market comes to life, tour three genuine custom homes in Ravenna

By Mark Samuelson As agents all over the area report the luxury home market coming to life, there’s no better proof than you’ll find inside the scenic expanse at The Club at Ravenna -- 35 minutes from downtown Denver, but with the protected setting you’d want on a home that’s going to cost $1.5 million or $2.5 million. Ravenna will let you behind the gates this weekend to tour three genuine customs, sized 5,600 to 6,700 square feet, with the kind of lush appointments that match Ravenna’s views.

If you like what you see, you can pick one of those three and skip the year that it takes to build a custom home of this quality – or you can get some ideas and pick from Ravenna’s assortment of custom sites – some on the course, some backing to the national forest, all of them wrapped in scenery that could be a hundred miles west of Denver.

You can also see floor plans, renderings and homesite locations where Ravenna’s participating builders are getting set to launch a few pre-designed custom and semi-custom homes from $1.7 million – “We’re always hearing from homebuyers, saving some time and maybe some dollars, even Denver natives, who tell us, ‘I had as well. no idea a community this remarkable was anywhere nearby,’” says Operations Man- The three that are open today are rife with ager and Listing Broker Dale Schossow of the possibilities: including in an expanLIV Sotheby’s International Realty, exclusive Tuscan ranch designed by renowned sive agent for Ravenna.
