MY NAME IS
ALEJANDRA CHAVEZ
College grad loves adventures, embraces every moment About me I am 23. I am from Ventura, California. I love spending time with my family. I like going on adventures a lot and finding new places, new coffee shops, new food places, everything. Since I moved I’ve been spending a lot of time by myself, which is kind of cool. I love swimming, so it’s been weird not being able to go to the beach and it’s too cold to go to a lake. I think I only packed one of my bathing suits, but I’m definitely not going to be using it anytime soon. Leaving California I just graduated with my undergrad. In California, Cal State North Ridge. I studied business management and a minor in criminal justice. I want to go
to graduate school out here. I wanted something different, like out of state. I still have to look at different programs. Right now, it’s leaning toward marriage and family therapy. Living in Castle Rock People are extremely nice. It’s insane. I’m working at a coffee shop, Cookies and Crema. I like going hiking so I’ve been exploring around here. Right now I’m just trying to explore Colorado. So far I’ve done the incline, I’ve gone to the Rock. I’ve mostly done different adventures like Pikes Peak — I took the train there. I’ve been having a hard time adjusting to the elevation so I haven’t been exercising. But I mean back home I would go hiking a lot, near the beach, so once you got to the top you could see the view. Differences between Colorado and California The beach, the weather. It’s cold! The other day my hair froze because it was wet and I didn’t know such a thing existed. I lived in a small town so it’s similar traffic, as far as
Denver and LA. I’m used to living with my parents and seeing my brothers every day, and now I live with my uncle and he’s the only family I have out here. It’s definitely different. My brother is coming next month so we’re going to go snowboard. It’s exciting. Driving on snow It is terrifying. I’ve only driven in the snow once and I was just scared. My mantra I have a hard time living in the moment. I think about the future, so I got a tattoo that says, “We must realize beauty in every moment and in this moment I’m happy.” I think people forget to enjoy the moment, whether it’s good or bad. People just think about the future, like `oh I want to do this in the future’ or `I want to have this much money.’ But then they forget that tomorrow may not happen.

It looks both rustic and new. Its colors neutral and bright. Some of the walls protrude, while others retract. The Move, a recently completed development in downtown Castle Rock, brings a wave of modern architecture to the historic area. “The building is a very unique design,” said Doug Decker, vice president of White Construction Group. The $9.9 million project came to life through a design-build contract between White Construction and Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture of Denver. The Move office space hopes to attract both tech companies and new or expanding businesses, a spokeswoman said. It also acts a venue for local businesses to host meetings and events. White Construction is a Coloradobased commercial general construction firm now headquartered in the building. They partnered with Barker Rinker Seacat, Decker said, for their modern and distinct building designs. “We are excited about occupying the msot unique office space currently available in Castle Rock,” Tim White said, President of White Construction Group. The office space sits at the corner of Sixth and Jerry Streets, near businesses like the VCA Douglas County Animal Hospital and the Hideaway Bar & Grill.

‘Cody, we love you, we’re going to miss you’ State trooper described as family man, person of integrity BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
He was a man of high integrity. He had a booming voice, a strong presence and exuded joy. He was an entertainer, intentionally or not. That’s what the loved ones of Colorado State Patrol Trooper Cody Donahue said when they gathered for his memorial service Dec. 2. The 34-year-old husband and father of two was struck and killed by a passing vehicle while investigating a property damage accident on Interstate 25 south of Castle Rock on Nov. 25. Donahue’s funeral at the Denver First Church of the Nazarene drew a crowd of hundreds, with an overwhelming show of support from area emergency responders. Uniforms from the state patrol, Castle Rock police and many other departments blanketed the sanctuary. “Cody, we love you, we’re going to miss you,” said Capt. Jeff Goodwin, who works at the state patrol’s Castle Rock station, where Donahue was based. At the front of the room rested Donahue’s casket, draped in an American flag and attended by two guards at all times — their heads bowed, their arms crossed and standing motionless next to their fallen comrade. Before the service, men and women in uniform stood in stoic salute, both inside and outside of the church, near the intersection of Hampden Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Donahue’s sister, Erin DonahuePaynter, opened the service. It was an honor to be his sister, she said, and she knew he wouldn’t like such sadness. “I want Velma and Leila and Maya to feel all the love in this place today,” she said of Donahue’s wife and two daughters. At her request, the crowd stood to its feet with applause, whistles and

You were his purpose in life,” she said to Donahue’s wife, Velma. “He loved every part of being a dad.” Colorado State Patrol Chief Scott Hernandez described Donahue, who lived in Parker, as a tenacious team member whose service saved lives. “I am so proud to have known Cody, and I am so proud to have worn this uniform with Cody,” he said. Goodwin said Donahue was a fixture in the Castle Rock office. His voice could be heard throughout the building. He spent time talking to his colleagues on any topic. His stories were special simply because of the way he told them. “He was our entertainer,” Goodwin said. And, they knew he loved his family immensely. When Donahue talked about weekend plans he didn’t speak using “I,” Goodwin said. He used “we,” whether that meant taking the family to the mountains, to the movies or tool shopping, he joked. Goodwin noted the tough past 18 months experienced by the state patrol. Authorities say Donahue was
How to protect from porch piracy BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Whether it is a gift from a loved one or an item received from online Christmas shopping, the holiday season means an increase in receiving packages. And shipping companies leave thousands of unprotected packages on home doorsteps in your city every day. Unfortunately, this also is the peak season for porch piracy, which is the theft of a package before it can be collected by its recipient. But according to the sheriff ’s offices in Douglas and Arapahoe Counties, steps can be taken to avoid such an
event this holiday season. Here is what the sheriff ’s offices suggest: • Don’t leave your parcels unattended — especially overnight. • Ask for help from neighbors. See if somebody will be available to pick up your package. • Consider an alternate shipping address. • Track and customize your delivery. Fedex, UPS and the U.S. Post Office all offer safety options, sometimes at an additional fee. • Install security cameras. • Report suspicious activity or stolen packages immediately.
struck by truck driver Noe GamezRuiz, 41, of Denver, at about 1:50 p.m. the day after Thanksgiving. GamezRuiz faces charges of careless driving resulting in death, a misdemeanor, and failure to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle, a traffic infraction. Donahue was the third state patrol trooper killed in the past year and a half. Trooper Jamie Jursevics was struck and killed by a drunken driver on I-25 Nov. 15, 2015, and Trooper Taylor Thyfault was struck and killed on Colorado 66 near Longmont by a fleeing suspect’s vehicle May 23, 2015. Longtime friend of Donahue’s, state patrol Trooper Jeff Gowin, recalled some of his favorite memories with Donahue before breaking down into tears. Recently, Gowin was hit by a Taser in their ongoing “torture agreement” in which the two agreed to play practical jokes on each other. “Because (Donahue) leaned over and said, ‘I’m not going to do this alone am I?’ “ Gowin said. It got the crowd laughing. In another instance, Donahue the entertainer had a video of him slipping and sliding down a hill and catching himself on a guardrail

He was stubborn.” Again, to the crowd’s laughter, Gowin went on to describe his friend’s loyalty and giving spirit. Mostly in the past week, he heard Donahue described as genuine. “He really liked to share his light,” Gowin said in an emotional end to his speech. “I’m going to miss you, brother.”

High-tech tools help students, lessons click DCSD classrooms incorporate computer science and coding as early as kindergarten BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

obots scoot, stop, turn and reverse as they zip around the floor of a classroom at Redstone Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. The fourth-grade students use iPads to make small adjustments and refine the course and behavior of their robots. “We’re trying to make him go around in a circle and smash the cups,” Jack Christopherson said. “It’s fun because we get to decide what it is going to do. He can make noises. He can greet people. He can dance.” The robots can do all that because students are writing the algorithms — the step-by-step procedures used to accomplish a task — that program the machines. “I think we adults are intimidated by technology, (but) kids don’t have that fear,” computer science teacher Trish Dunbar said. “Kids can absorb the information at such a young age. The parents don’t even know what an algorithm is.” In Dunbar’s class, many of her students started learning about basic coding as early as kindergarten. But that’s not unusual these days. From working with basic robotics in the lower grades to understanding cyber security in high school, the Douglas County School District has worked to incorporate technology into its curriculum. DCSD students have tablets and computers available to use at every grade level and teachers have worked to make sure technology plays a role in their lesson plans. According to a 2013 study of K-12 teachers by PBS LearningMedia — an education-focused digital arm of the Public Broadcasting Service — three-quarters of teachers surveyed link educational technology to a growing list of benefits, saying technology enables them to reinforce and expand on content. A 2013 Pew Research study of 2,462 Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers found that 73 percent of teachers said they and/or their students use their mobile phones in the classroom or to complete assignments. The same study revealed that 45 percent report they or their students use e-readers and 43 percent use tablet computers in the classroom or to complete assignments. “I feel like it gives our students a huge advantage,” DCSD Superintendent Erin Kane said. “Programing is really big and it’s getting bigger every year. It is one of the industries that has the largest percentage of

Why wouldn’t we prep our kids for that?” Blending curriculum, technology Mandie McQueen, a first-grade teacher at Prairie Crossing Elementary in Parker, said her students are using technology on a daily basis. “We are very fortunate to have an abundance of technology at our school,” Mcqueen said. “Grades first through sixth have a Chromebook for each student.

achieving its goal of having a technological device for every one of its 67,000 students, Chief Technology Officer Gautam Sethi said. In the younger grades, students mostly use tablets, while in the upper grades laptops are more common. Devices are available to be checked out Sethi from the schools and students are encouraged to bring their own devices to school if they have them. Stephanie Duval, a second-grade teacher at Prairie Crossing, said she allows her students to choose
how they will write about new topics in class, whether it’s by using paper and pencil or by using online writing tools. “They can add pictures or graphics and show their understanding of new content,” Duval said. In recent years, the district also has expanded wireless internet access to nearly all of its buildings and has encouraged students to bring and use personal devices. DSCD has between 45,000 and 50,000 computers, tablets and other devices, with an additional 5,000 being added every year. Krisie Stovall, a second-grade SEE TECHNOLOGY, P7

teacher at Copper Mesa Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, has been teaching her students about geography and mapping skills. She brought in iPadcontrolled Bee Bots similar to the ones used at Redstone Elementary to teach about longitude, latitude and how to use a compass. Using a big map spread out on the floor, she had students find different points by programing the coordinates into the Bee Bots. “They not only had a great time but i really think it helped them understand,” Stovall said. Stovall said she uses technology in the classroom daily and can even find herself asking her students for help. “They are super comfortable with it,” Stovall said. “ Sometimes they know more than I do and they can help me out with it.” Stovall’s use of the Bee Bots is an example of how teachers are incorporating technology to go beyond the basics. “These kids are growing up with so much technology around them, having one more computer doesn’t really engage them as much anymore,” Sethi said. “The technology itself is so much simpler. It is not the way we used to learn programing on big computers with green screens. Now, it’s just drag and drop, but with that they learn the same intricacies. They learn to write the neatest amount of code in the least amount of lines.” Linda Conway is the head of DCSD’s Innovation and Design Center in Castle Rock. Over the past five years, she has been working to remake the district’s libraries into collaborative learning commons — the kind of large, open work areas one would expect to find at a tech company. “When we go and sit down with a principal or a librarian,” Conway said, “we listen and find out what their vision is, what the learning looks like in their school, and find out how we can transform the space to fit the learning, rather than vice versa.” With the younger grades, Conway said there is more hands-on learning in the library environment. Tactile objects for students to work with are important. As students move up, more and more advanced technology skills are being used. At the high school level, students are more concerned about the research tools, she said.

Sonja Coy is a senior at Highlands Ranch High School. She said she plans to study computer science in college.
Redstone Elementary computer science teacher Trish Dunbar sits with her class. In April, Colorado House Bill 16-1198 passed the Legislature, giving high school students in the state the opportunity to take computer science or coding classes for credit toward graduation in math and science. The bill will help make computer science a more integrated part of the curriculum, said Sethi, who expects schools will eventually want to expand coding and technology into the lower grade levels as cornerstones of the curriculum. “We need to find new pathways,” Sethi said. “We’re working with the middle and high schools to figure out where we go from here.” Preparing for future Teacher Nicky DeBolt runs the CyberPatriot program at Highlands Ranch High School. CyberPatriots is a national
program created by the Air Force Association — an independent nonprofit group focused on education and promoting public understanding of aerospace— seven years ago as an educational program to inspire high school students toward careers in cyber security or STEM fields. “I don’t want to say this is a hacking program — in fact, they really discourage using the word hacking,” DeBolt said. “It’s about defense. We defend against hackers and vulnerabilities.” In simulations, students are given a computer with an image. They are told what types of programs they have been allotted and which users are authorized. Their job is to configure and defend the system to withstand an attack from an outside group. Senior Adam Klein has been doing robotics since about eighth grade. But he said the
kind of coding in robotics is very different from the coding in CyberPatriots. “This is a lot of holistic technological understanding,” Klein said. “It was a steep leaning curve for me.” Klein plans to pursue a career in technology. “The cyber security field I find fascinating because the fear of being hacked and not having network security is so prevalent today that knowing how security works and what it means to not have it is valuable.” Sonja Coy, also a senior, had some experience in coding before joining CyberPtriots, but learned more from the hands-on work she has done in the class. “For example, password length is more important than having different numbers or characters,” Coy said. “If you have a 12-character password it is better than having a
four-character password that has dollar signs or something. The more possible combinations the better.” The district works with each school to determine what ways technology can be incorporated into learning, Sethi said. Each school commits to it at a different level. “It’s what works best for you,” Sethi said. “Do you want to integrate technology into your math class? Or do you want it to be a stand-alone? We’ll help you though it.” Superintendent Kane, who has a degree in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Colorado and who spent 10 years in the tech industry, said DCSD schools are ahead of the curve. “Our schools are very wellequipped with technology,” Kane said. “I feel like it gives our students a huge advantage.”

‘Moonlight Madness’ brings shopping crowd to outlets BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Officials from The Outlets at Castle Rock estimate about 80,000 people shopped at the mall’s Black Friday event, Moonlight Madness Shopping. The outlets opened at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, and remained open until 9 p.m. on Nov. 25. Entertainment included jugglers, balloon artists, music and a dance floor.
The outlets began hosting Moonlight Madness in 2007. This year’s Black Friday turnout was up from 2015, a spokeswoman for the shopping center said. Although a number was not available, last year’s Moonlight Madness attendance was hindered by cold temperatures and snow around the holiday, according to the spokeswoman. Top-selling items this year were outerwear, shoes and bags, she said.

downtown, one block from the frequented Wilcox Street. The Move fills a once-vacant lot that went unused for years, Decker said. The property simply is a good location to build on in Castle Rock, he said. The four-story building features 50,000 square feet of rentable space and more than 70 parking spaces available to the public after business hours. “We’re excited that there will be more parking available for our community as a result of this great new addition,” Castle Rock spokeswoman Caroline Kipp said. The town assisted with the project financially to score more public parking. In exchange for a loan, The Move
will lease Castle Rock the spaces for a nominal fee, she said. So far, six businesses have made The Move home, leaving room for about four more, Decker said. On the second floor of the two-level parking garage, which is beneath the building, are electric-vehicle charging stations. But that’s not the only tech savvy element to the building. Atop The Move is the first system of solar panels use in a downtown building. Approximately 270 panels cover more than 8,600 square feet of rooftop. The solar energy offsets about 20 percent of electricity consumption, according to a White Construction Group news release. “It’s unlike anything in Castle Rock,” Decker said.

Highlands Ranch mother, sons died of gunshot wounds Jennifer Laber purchased firearm, killed herself BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
The Highlands Ranch mother and her two sons who were found in a van in Lone Tree died of gunshot wounds, authorities said. Jennifer Laber died from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound, and her two sons, Adam, 3, and Ethan, 5, died from a single gunshot wound each, Sgt. Tim Beals, of the Lone Tree Police Department, said Dec. 1. A timeline of events released from the police department shows that Laber purchased a Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun at about 12:30 p.m. Nov. 29. She then picked up her sons from school between 1:30 and 2 p.m. The three were found dead the morn-
ing of Nov. 30. Police found the gun inside the vehicle. Officials aren’t calling the case a murder-suicide, but Beals said police are not looking for any suspects. “We just aren’t ready to put that
label on it yet,” Beals said. Laber was last seen picking up her two children from Bear Canyon Elementary School in Highlands Ranch at about 2 p.m. Nov. 29. She did not return home to her neighborhood in

the area of North Hampton Court and Hibiscus Drive. Laber and her sons were reported missing at approximately 8 p.m. Nov. 29. At the time law enforcement was notified, there was no indication the lives of Laber and her sons were in jeopardy, said Chief Deputy Steve Johnson, of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. “We certainly did not see this horrific ending that this case has come to today,” Johnson said Nov. 30. A passerby found the vehicle in the parking lot of the vacant Sports Authority on County Line Road and called police at about 7:50 a.m. Nov. 30. The van was found near a loading dock-type area, officials said. Beals said officials won’t speculate on a motive. “Anything that possibly led up to this are things we are certainly looking into,” he said.

Five things you need to keep in mind today and every day to make life better WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
A
s family and friends will tell you, I am a news junkie. Although I have left most social media sites with the exception of just a couple, I have many news apps on my phone and probably far too many Google alerts set up. It’s just my way of staying on top of what is happening in the world and in our community. Couple that with reading the newspaper and watching some of the news channels on television, you may see where I get the reputation of being a news junkie. If I am in a rush, I actually like the new feature on most of the news apps such as “The Top 5 Things You Missed This Week,” or the “Top Things You Need to Know Today,” They are quick and summarize the news into a con-
cise format allowing me to click on the “More” link if I want to go deeper into a story. And when pressed for time, with a quick review of the front page of any newspaper I can get the news fix that I was looking for that day. So what are the Five Things You Need to Know Today? 1. You are loved more than you know. 2. You are forgiven for all mistakes; so stop being so hard on yourself. 3. You are appreciated even when others can’t find the right words or ways to say thank you. 4. You are beautiful and brilliant, and you are gifted and gorgeous. 5. You are stronger than you give yourself
credit for, and you can use that strength to endure any season of life or to encourage others to persevere through any battle they may be facing. How’s that for a short summarizing list of the Five Things You Need to Know Today? And by the way, the Five Things You Need to Know Today and Remember Every Day. Why are these so important? Because if I fall back on my addiction to the news and shared with you some of the very real and horrific things that I read or see in the news, and if I didn’t have the foundation above I could easily become depressed, stressed and SEE NORTON, P13

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Choice a good thing for students I was very disappointed to read the recent article “Douglas County School Board rescinds latest voucher program.” What a lost opportunity to be on the cutting edge. It would be interesting to discover just who the Taxpayers for Public Education (the main opposition) are. I have my suspicions. While I only encountered good teachers in the district, what about innercity areas where children are forced to attend the school near their home, rather than an excellent school where they could succeed? This actually happened in Washington, D.C., with Obama forcing the kids to return to their local ineffective school in

spite of their great success at their charter school. I have taught in Douglas County schools, in a private school in this district, and my grandson attended a charter school in Parker. What I learned was that all children have different learning styles and some schools are better for them than others. Who better to make that choice than the parents? (Not the unions.) Competition only leads to improvement, and my hope is that changes will be made this year in the department of education so every parent can choose the school that best serves their child.

Craig Marshall In my case, it took years Smith and years of home-alone introspection as a wellspring, and now it takes strong, black, mud-thick coffee to go along with it. I know exactly how I wound up here, in front of you, but how does someone become a writer for something like the National Enquirer? Was it a consolation prize? The Times won’t take you, so you try for something a bit lower, then a bit lower than that? Or is there some unrequited mischief in your marrow? Maybe you’re just a schlub who doesn’t care and simply

And at the breakfast table. “Dad,” your 5-year-old asks, “what do you do for a living?” “Son, I’m a writer.” “Noble profession, Dad. For whom?” “National Enquirer.” “Let me get this straight. You write a story, knowing it’s untrue, and might hurt, offend and infuriate someone, like John Travolta, and it comes straight from the unplugged intestines of deceit and misinformation.” “That’s it.” There would be no National Enquirer, however, if there were no one reading it, buying it, and subscribing to it. I have been around these parts and other parts of parts for a long time, and I have never met anyone who openly admitted to reading publications like the National Enquirer.

America, not Europe, will be the one doing the schooling GUEST COLUMN
“We will need to teach the presidentelect what Europe is and how it works,” said European Union Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker about President-elect Donald Trump. Those are fighting words. If this was 15th-century Europe, Ken Buck an insult like that might result in war. But thankfully, our world has risen above the petty, internecine power struggles of the historical European continent, guided from those stormy waters largely by the ascendance of America and its great ideas: freedom, justice and democracy. Mr. Juncker must think his continent a paragon of Western virtue, a place too sophisticated for America’s new sophomoric president-elect. Mr. Juncker wants to teach Donald Trump how Europe works. The irony of Mr. Juncker’s statement is that Europe doesn’t work, and Europe doesn’t know what it is. When Mr. Juncker takes time to meet the incoming leader of the free world, it will be Mr. Trump revealing to him how Europe actually works. Europe doesn’t work well right now because freedom has slipped from its lexicon. The European Union slaps regulations across its many, diverse states, believing that what works in Brussels works just as well in Scandinavia, the Balkans or the Iberian Peninsula. In America, President Obama’s administration pursued the same philosophy. With enough red tape, they thought, all of America can look and act just like Washington, D.C.! President-elect Trump’s election was a repudiation of this excessive regula-
tory state. Europe also claims to be a land of justice, citing as evidence its refugee policies. To be sure, justice is indeed helping the world’s most vulnerable and innocent. But justice is also offering your citizenry the chance to live safe, fearless lives. As President-elect Trump and the nation rethink our approach to refugee resettlement, that might mean leaving some refugees in safe, no-fly zones in the Middle East, where aid can be delivered more cheaply. When the conflicts in their home nations subside, these refugees can return to their homeland and rebuild their countries. Finally, some Europeans may claim that America, in electing Mr. Trump, has taken a wrecking ball to the edifice of democracy. In reality, the election of Mr. Trump is a validation of the American democratic experiment. Our countrymen and women chose for president someone who will stand up to the special interests and lobbyists who own Washington, D.C. On Jan. 20, power in this nation will peacefully transfer to a new administration, and democracy will hold all elected officials accountable for their actions. Europeans should know something about democracy. It’s required of member states wishing to enter the union. And democracy matters just as much when a sovereign member state chooses, by popular vote, to disengage from the EU. Some members of the EU democracy have already signaled against Mr. Juncker’s haughtiness. England and France decided to forgo an emergency EU meeting to address the election of Donald Trump. Probably better for Europe to hold an emergency meeting to address the economic and security concerns besetting its own continent. SEE BUCK, P14

angry. And none of those attitudes or perspectives I just listed would do anything to improve the situations, make my day any brighter, or place me in a better position to help others. However, if I can love and be loved; if I can forgive and be granted forgiveness; if I can show appreciation and gratitude for all of my blessings and bless others; if I can believe that someone can see the beauty of my heart and I can see the giftedness of theirs; and if I can be strong in the face of adversity and patiently strong while coming alongside someone else in their time of need, I do believe that I can make a difference. And I believe that you can too. We can all be difference makers if we choose to do so. So how about you? Do you get caught
up in the mayhem, fear, uncertainty, and doubt? And if you are already depressed, stressed, and angry, then I further encourage you to maybe save this column, even if you just take the Top Five list. Place it somewhere you can see it and use it as a helpful reminder that in a time of a divided culture and country, we can look internally and know that we are loved, forgiven, appreciated, beautiful, and strong. I would love to hear all about your thoughts on the Top Five at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can find the peace that comes from our Top Five list, it really will be a better than good week.

OBITUARIES FYFFE
Dessel Rueben “Duke” Fyffe 1/16/1946 - 11/27/2016
Dessel Rueben “Duke” Fyffe, 70, left this earth on November 27, 2016. Duke was born January 16, 1946 in Circleville, Ohio, to Dessel Sanford and Thelma Marie Fyffe. The Duke of Denver led by example. He often said that your attitude determines your altitude. His life is proof of this mantra. He had a humble beginning, but he did not let that get in his way. Through hard work and determination he became a football star at Circleville High School. This catapulted him to a full-ride scholarship at Syracuse University where he was an All-American running back. Injuries ended his football career and a brokendown Jaguar landed him in Denver in 1969. He went on to become one of Denver’s most elite Realtors. In 2012, Duke received the National Association of Realtors’ “Realtor Emeritus” award in recognition for over forty years of service. He had a zest for life that was infectious and an unmatched gregarious laugh to compliment it. His competitive spirit helped him thrive throughout his career. His kind nature made him lucky to have friends everywhere he went. He had a zest for life that was infectious and an unmatched gregarious laugh to compliment it. His competitive spirit helped him thrive throughout his career. His kind nature made him lucky to have friends everywhere he went.
He had a zest for life that was infectious. He was a mentor to many and is a good friend to thousands. While those accolades are astounding, the accomplishments he held closest to his heart were being an extremely loving Son, Brother, Father, Uncle, Papa, and Grandpa. Mr. Fyffe is survived by his sister, Wanda Williard; son, Dessel Reuben “Scott” Fyffe; daughter Kari Meskin (Dan); ex-wife and great friend, Joan Fyffe; nephew, Sean Fyffe; nieces, Dawn White, Megan Ketelhut and Misty Brooks; grandson, Rylan Dessel Martinez; granddaughters, Samantha and Eliza Meskin; and companion, Donna Sulzman. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Michael, Larry and Robert; and niece, Leah Stephenson. A celebration of Duke’s storied life will be planned in 2017.

SMITH: Don’t believe everything you read at the register FROM PAGE 12
“Bigfoot kept lumberjack as love slave!” “Adam and Eve were astronauts!” “Chris Christie thinks he’s a manatee!” I’m guessing that anyone who reads them does it for recreational purposes only. Perhaps to counteract the realities of existence. And for laughs. But then what about the stories that have some truth mixed in? Like the “tanning mom” and the “balloon boy”? What happens to us when fact and fiction become a meatloaf ?
(I like meatloaf.) Falcon Heene, the actual balloon boy, is now 13, and is in a heavy metal band with his two brothers. Falcon has hair down to his umbilicus, by the way. I am in favor of creative thinking, but I am not in favor of slander, libel, or setting out to hurt feelings. Feelings get hurt anyhow. These are times of thin skins and hypersensitivities. I’m sure that offenses are taken by some of the things I write about. For example, I am in favor of a lengthy prison sentence for anyone who talks with their hands.
BUCK: EU hysterical on Trump
But then we would have to have prisons the size of Montana. I can see how it might go in the wrong direction. I am tempted to make stuff up all the time. A long line of humorists preceded me and did the very same thing. That’s my excuse. Did you know that Taylor Swift is secretly married to an Eddie Fisher impersonator? It’s true.

After all, Europe has known freedom, justice and democracy in the past and will know these values again. America might even be able to help, despite Mr. Juncker’s contention that “in general the Americans take no interest in Europe.” Again, the EU Commission president is wrong. In 1941, when fascism threatened the continent, Americans were very interested. American blood helped restore its

Sexual assault reported at Ponderosa High School BY TOM SKELLEY AND MIKE DIFERDINANDO STAFF WRITERS
A suspect is in custody after a report that a Ponderosa High School student was sexually assaulted by a school district security employee on campus. A news release from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office stated it received a report alleging the assault at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 28 at Ponderosa. Detectives interviewed the victim and made an arrest shortly thereafter. The suspect was identified as Gary Postell, 49, a Douglas County School District campus
security specialist. The Castle Rock resident was immediately taken into custody at his residence and booked in the Douglas County Detention Center on suspicion of sex assault on a child by one in a position of trust. He was being held on $5,000 bond as of Nov. 29. Postell has been placed on paid leave by the school district. He has been with the school district since 2014 and underwent a background check before being hired, a DCSD spokeswoman said. “We are working closely with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s
Office as they investigate this allegation. The staff member will not be allowed back at Ponderosa, pending the results of the investigation,” Ponderosa High School Principal David Haggerty said in a letter to students and parents. “We do not tolerate inappropriate staff conduct toward our students and we take this matter seriously. We cannot discuss the specifics of an incident or disciplinary action that may be taken due to privacy laws and the law enforcement investigation.” As recently as Nov. 7, the
Real Estate
school district had recognized Postell as a “DCSD Employee Rock Star,” in a program that recognizes employees for their “outstanding work.” “Gary is always promoting individual student responsibility in our school,” the district wrote on its website in early November. “He has a great personality that demonstrates interpersonal skills that relate well with students, staff, administration, and parents. Each and every day of the week knowing he is ... working not just as a campus security specialist but as someone who
truly cares for our student’s safety and security.” In his position as security specialist at Ponderosa, an unarmed position, Postell provided “additional security in various areas of the school,” the district spokeswoman said. District security also includes school resource officers and a team of armed security personnel who visit various schools throughout the day. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Williamson at 303-814-7005 or mwilliam@ dcsheriff.net.

Snowshoes, oatmeal and pickles Unique family traditions make the holidays memorable BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
E
ach year, the holiday season brings the usual customs of brightly lit yard displays and holiday hold music, but the things people anticipate most are the special traditions they celebrate with their families. Though customs like waiting for Santa Claus and lighting the menorah have storied and varied origins, the
Mark Lampert Unincorporated Arapahoe County
Ornaments dazzle on a Christmas tree in Parker’s PACE Center on Nov. 22. TOM SKELLEY
reasons people cherish them have less to do with history than the way they modify the customs to fit their own family. Be it frying latkes in the snow, arguing over the perfect Christmas tree or leaving breakfast for a snow gnome, the things people in the region do to celebrate the holidays are as unique as the people who celebrate them.
Did you know?
Holiday traditions of different faiths and cultures
“We always try to do what others do to celebrate Hanukkah, giving a present each night, and usually the Sunday of Hanukkah the whole family gets together. “One thing I do every year is I will fry latkes outside on the patio on a little electric frying pan, whether it’s winter weather or warmer weather. Let me tell you, when you’re frying latkes and there’s snowflakes coming down and getting into the oil, you do get burned a bit — but it makes it fun.”
Clara Kelley Westminster “I have Icelandic heritage, so every year my daughter and I leave out a bowl of oatmeal for the Tomten. He’s like a guardian of the land who helps families look
after their farms. It’s an Icelandic tradition to leave him a bowl of porridge on the solstice, so every year since my daughter was about 2 we’ve done it. “I have a box of organic oatmeal that she wouldn’t eat when she was a baby that we use every year. Hopefully, the Tomten doesn’t mind that it’s reject oatmeal.”
Lily Yesayan Centennial “We’re Armenian, so the one thing we do that’s different is instead of doing Christmas presents on Christmas, we don’t give each other presents until New Year’s Day, and we leave the tree up until Jan. 6. “We have the entire family over, and we have a big family for Christmas dinner. It depends on the year, but the most we have had was between 30 and 40 people all in the house.”

Wearing that person’s T-shirt can seem a little on the nose, but you still want them to know you’re a fan. In the end, I decided on a green sweater and jeans when I met Clarke Reader Bruce Springsteen at the Tattered Cover on Nov. 30. And in the moments after shaking hands and taking a photo with The Boss, I honestly couldn’t tell you what I wore. Springsteen was in town promoting his autobiography, the aptly titled “Born to Run,” and a little more than 1,000 fans had the opportunity to meet the man himself and get an autographed copy. The event sold out in 15 minutes or less. I honestly don’t know if the Tattered Cover has ever seen a crowd that size. It snaked through the entire store, right out the front door and around the building. And what a crowd it was. Seniors to 6-year-olds (mostly) happily stood in line, swapping stories about the first
Bruce Springsteen visited the Tattered Cover in Denver on Nov. 30 as part of his “Born to Run” book tour. After several hours in line, columnist Clarke Reader spent a glorious 10 seconds with The Boss. time they saw Springsteen, arguing about what his best album is, and the times in their lives his music has meant the most to them. One person talked about “Tunnel of Love” getting them through divorce, and my mother talked about “The Rising” helping her stay positive during her brother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. That got me thinking about the times Springsteen’s music helped me over the years, as the line moved slowly but steadily forward. I thought about all the unrequited loves I soundtracked in my head to “I’m On Fire.” Or how “Dancing in the
Dark” is the best pop song ever written, and it never fails to cheer me up. And I thought about the hope I’ve always pulled from the lyrics to “Atlantic City,” or the last verse of “Darkness on the Edge of Town”: “Tonight I’ll be on that hill cause I can’t stop I’ll be on that hill with everything I got Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town.” It occurred to me that I should say all of that to the man himself during the 10 seconds I had to meet and get a photo with him. But of course, when you’re five feet away from a man who has touched millions of lives, who’s been both a conscience and inspiration for more than a decade of my life, and is just flat-out cooler than all but maybe five people on the planet, all you really want to do is not trip. So I shook Bruce Springsteen’s hand, told him I was a big fan and his music has meant the world to me, got a photo and was guided out of the way to make room for the next person. And while I’m sure he’s heard both those things more times than he can count, he heard me and said thank you, and that’s more than I could’ve
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Childish Gambino’s “’Awaken, My Love!’” released on Glassnote records. Review: Who would have expected Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) to have the kind of 2016 he did? His television show “Atlanta” is the best new show of the year, and now he’s delivered this funky, atmospheric third album. If you’re looking for rap, go somewhere else — Glover dives deep into Funkadelic-style soul, jazz rhythms and a dense swirl of moods. The result is one of the most surprising and rewarding listens of the year. Favorite song: “Redbone” Most empowering lyrics: “Everyone just wants a better life They tried to kill us Love to say they feel us But they won’t take my pride.” expected. The thrilled laughs, unstoppable smiles and joyous tears I saw that day were proof that while it’s hard describing what it means to meet one of your heroes, we all shared that feeling. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night.

HOLIDAYS: A look at the traditions of area families and how they celebrate
Cynthia Studebaker
FROM PAGE 16
Hanukkah The Jewish Festival of Lights commemorates the miracle of a single day’s supply of lamp oil lasting eight nights during the Maccabees revolt against their Greek oppressors in the second century B.C. However, the origins of the well-known menorah are uncertain. Early mentions of the holiday don’t specify how it is to be celebrated, though it likely involved the sacrifice of animals. Persian Zoroastrians and pagans both celebrated the winter solstice with fire, and Jewish families may have adapted the practice as a way to commemorate Hannukah. The Jewish historian Josephus mentions the holiday, which he calls “Lights,” but no mention of menorahs was made until centuries later in a book of law, the Mishnah, in reference to who would be at fault if a fire resulted from camels knocking over a lamp.

“Our tradition is that every year we go up to Bailey or Frasier and cut down a tree. We get a permit through the National Forest Service. It depends on what the weather is like, but it’s always an adventure. The kids are grown up, but they still rotate who gets to pick the tree out every year. “It’s just being family. We can’t ever agree on a tree — my husband always goes off in a different direction than us and sometimes we argue. But it’s all about being out there together, then we have hot chocolate after.”
“My kids are in Connecticut now and my parents have passed away, so my Christmas tradition now is snowshoeing. Every year I go up to Brainard Lake near Nederland, and I just go out there with a friend, just seeing moose and being out in nature. It’s a great way to get rid of all the old stuff and bring in the new.”
Trey Hamsmith Parker
“My mom is Swedish, but we do the ‘German pickle’ ornament thing every year. I have no idea why. It’s just a little ornament that looks like a pickle, and every year my mom hides it somewhere on the tree. I have two brothers, and whoever finds the ornament first gets to open the first gift of Christmas and ring the little bell from ‘The Polar Express.’”

Queen Amidala, Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Padme Amidela, Darth Vader, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, C-3PO and many more are there in “Star Wars and the Power of Costume,” a new exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. Even those fans who have watched all of the “Star Wars” films will be amazed by a close-up look at the costumes exhibited on the second floor at the Denver Art Museum through April 2. Every tiny detail is perfect in Queen Amidala’s elaborate gowns, for example. Lace, tiny tucks, embroidery and beads are part of many costumes, indicating multiple days of handwork on each one. Concept drawings for each character’s costumes are mounted at eye level, sometimes combined with bits of fabric, plastics and beads or braids. Headwear is equally impressive. Related videos are placed throughout the exhibit to explain the choices of materials and relevant lore. Consider Queen Amidala’s rich red “Throne Room gown” and curving metallic crown from “The Phantom Menace” — they are so well recognized, they have become part of our society’s mythology — and here they are! As is iconic villain Darth Vader’s flowing black cloak, helmet and light saber from “Return of the Jedi.” In this exhibit, the visitor stands right in front of each image — many are free-standing, not encased. We see a concept drawing, and a close-up pair of Wookie Chewbacca’s feet at the eye level of a 5-year-old, next to the whole furry costume on a tall mannequin. It was made for an

And also at child height are R2-D2 and C-3PO up close and personal. More than 60 handcrafted costumes are presented in a joined series of galleries. Some have interactive details, such as a button one can push to make the light sabers glow. Even very young children visiting the large exhibit seemed totally engaged and excited — and so wellbehaved that it was a joy to watch their excitement — and to hear the conversations with parents, who were obviously well-informed fans, having grown up with these legendary characters. The exhibit was developed by the Smithsonian Institution’s Saul Sopici Drake, Myriam Springuel and E. Warren Perry Jr. Objects shown are loaned from the archives of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

‘Own an Original’ exhibition runs until early January BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Juror Sandra Clark chose “Artist and the Saint,” an intriguing two-sided bronze sculpture by Kim Kaminski of Littleton, as Best of Show in the 2016 “Own an Original” exhibit, which is at the Littleton Museum through Jan. 8, 2017. The faces and textured robes of the pair are different, but flow together in the sculpture, which is about 14 inches tall. Carefully applied patina distinguished the two different robes, with a detailed blue-green on the artist and a golden hue on the saint. The artist’s nose is hooked, beak-like and polished. The conical hat that tops both suggests Careers
an Asian temple spire. A tiny bird perches on a joint shoulder. Clark, who is a textile artist, combines fiber and metal in some works, including two in this exhibit. She chose 60 pieces by Colorado artists for this exhibit. They are carefully placed in the Littleton Fine Arts Gallery, facing the front door, inviting the visitor to explore. Her statement reflects her choices in award winners: “My work reflects my interest in what happens when our inherent needs for organization and control collide with physiological forces that are out of our control, such as optical and emotional responses to stimuli.” First Place was awarded to an oil painting by Austin Howlett of Denver for his “Desert Walkers,” depicting a
family of tall, thin African people walking away into a sandy landscape. You can almost hear the wind. “Infinitude” is by Sean Yarbrough of Boulder, whose website shows many swirling “abstracted astral energy” forms that draw a viewer closer — as does his Second Place painting in this exhibit. Littleton artist Stephan Begej created “Exuberance No. 19,” an exploded flute, mounted on a canvas, which won Third Place. It speaks of his background as an instrumentation and robotics engineer, featuring “found objects that are captured in a state of disintegration, fragmentation or dispersion …” While visiting this exhibit, walk into the adjoining gallery to visit, or revisit,

Gershwins’ classic work gets revised treatment IF YOU GO
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lights go up on a sketchily-built Catfish Row, in Charleston, South Carolina, where Clara (Erica PapillionPosey) cuddles her baby and bursts into song — in a beautiful rendition of “Summertime.” She is joined in duet by her man Jake (David Sweet), who is a fisherman, as are many other locals. And we know we are solidly into Gershwin territory. The Aurora Fox production, “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess” was first performed in 2011 by the American Repertory Theatre in Boston, directed by Diane Paulus. She described it as adapted from a three-hour-long opera (first performed in 1935, based on the novel “Porgy” by DuBose Heywood and a play by DuBose and Dorothy Heywood) to the musical theatre stage. It’s said that George Gershwin kept working on and revising the score until his death in 1937. His brother, Ira Gershwin, and DuBose Heywood wrote the original lyrics. The new version became a work of several years. Paulus hired Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks to write a script using words formerly sung, and musician/arranger Dierdre Murray to adapt the music. They worked on a new production, initiated by the Gershwin and Heyward estates, to bring this musical treasure into the 21st century. The Aurora Fox recruited a sterling
“THE GERSHWINS’ PORGY AND BESS” plays through Jan. 1, 2017 at the Aurora Fox Arts Center, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets range from $24 to $37. Aurorafox.org, 303-739-1970. Free parking.

PHOTO BY CHRISTINE FISK cast of highly trained African-American actors and singers to work under the guidance of director donnie l. betts, bringing a regional premiere of this new version to Denver. It opened Nov. 25 and plays through Jan. 1, backed by a five-piece orchestra that fills the theater with George Gershwin’s familiar score. Bess is portrayed by Tracy Camp, who comes to Colorado from San
Francisco to play against Denver’s Leonard Barrett, as the disabled Porgy. Their voices blend well and each is a fine soloist — as are many other cast members. The familiar songs sound especially fine, which means El Armstrong’s sound design is doing what it should. Bess’ violent lover, Crown (Michael Peters), appears, joins a craps game and fights with and stabs Serena’s man, leaving her widowed and alone. Anna High appears as Serena. Tyrell Rae, a frequent actor on Littleton Town Hall’s stage, plays Crown’s sidekick and Bess’ drug dealer, Sportin’ Life — a different sort of role for him — cocky, swaggering and a bad influence as he waves drugs under Bess’ nose, luring her to follow him. The tragic love story twists and turns with Gershwin’s wonderful music ongoing and wraps with Porgy singing “O Lord, I’m on My Way” as he leaves Catfish Row to search for his Bess. This production is probably a “don’t miss” for area theater lovers.

Englewood writer packages short stories for holiday season Leslee Breene is noted creator of history and romance fiction BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood author Leslee Breene, who writes history and romance fiction, has collected five holiday season-related short stories into an attractively packaged paperback called “Christmas in My Heart” (also available electronically from Amazon). In her introduction, she writes about how she has always been fond of short stories, citing Eudora Welty, Somerset Maugham and Ernest Hemingway as inspirations. This would be a nice gift, or gift to oneself, to read on a winter
evening, with a hot cup of tea close at hand. • “The Caretaker” tells the reader about a 19th-century farm family in November 1875. First, Mama insists on bringing the cow, Nellie, into the house to give birth to a calf, so the calf won’t die in the freezing weather. Mission accomplished. Then Mama goes into labor and young daughter Selma must take the horses and wagon through the storm to fetch the local midwife, so Papa can stay with Mama. A nicely written story about family love and support, which was a finalist in the annual Women Writing the West Laura contest for short stories in 2009. • “Snow Angels of San Marcial” is set in New Mexico, where young Angelina wants to plan a Christmas gift for her recently widowed mother, who works all day at the pottery plant in Socorro. She hopes that her two feisty brothers will co-
operate … This one won first place in ByLine Magazine’s Christmas Fiction contest in 1998. • “Carpenter’s Crib” tells of a young woman, Lauren, recently widowed, who stops at a carpenter’s shop in her small Colorado town to order a crib for her baby son. The young carpenter is also widowed and an attraction develops … Tragedy threatens his small business … • “The Christmas Gift” is a story of single young Miriam, who is on the train to Denver to deliver her orphaned baby nephew to an older sister who lives there with her husband and family. She grows so fond of him that she wonders if she can part with him. Sister is newly pregnant and not so inclined to care for this little one … A traveling rancher is also on the train and with subsequent meetings in Denver, he and Miriam connect and the future for the pair plus the baby looks much
brighter. This is one of Amazon’s Top Ten Young Adult short fiction choices for 2014. • Finally, there is an excerpt from Breene’s novel, “Journey to Sandcastle,” a novel set in Colorado’s San Luis Valley.

Treating troubles with the latest technology New facility in Meridian offers alternative health treatments
Innovative Body Recovery director of operations Micah Kim stands behind an anti-gravity treadmill at the clinic in Meridian on Nov. 28. The machine uses a harness to reduce users’ weight by 80 percent to aid in rehabilitation for clients with poor joint health or who are recovering from surgery or injury.
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Merriam-Webster defines “innovation” as “introducing or using new ideas or methods,” an apt description of what one finds inside Innovative Body Recovery, a new Meridian facility offering high-tech treatments for age-old ailments. Micah Kim, director of operations at the center at 11960 Lioness Way, in northern Douglas County, said he’s never liked visiting doctors. “I don’t like going to the hospital or taking medicine,” Kim said. More than a year ago, Kim injured his back and went to Dallas for an unusual treatment. He tried cryotherapy, standing in a chamber and getting blasted with cold nitrogen gas, and the pain went away. The experience gave him and two business associates an idea for a business that would help people heal while turning a profit. Micah, his brother Rocky, and business associate Shankar Ramakrishnan spent a year researching different therapeutic technologies before deciding to invest in a cryotherapy chamber, lasers and inflatable body wraps. In November, they opened their doors. “I’ve always been into alternative therapies, diet trends and so on,” said Ramakrishnan, a wireless technologies engineer with AT&T. “I don’t put pills into my body unless it is absolutely necessary.” In addition to cryotherapy, they offer air compression therapy — a vinyl suit filled with compressed air to squeeze the legs or arms — for tension relief and circulation. Also on the

menu are full-body and localized light therapy treatments that zap clients with infrared laser light to treat conditions like depression, PTSD, attention deficit disorder and other cognitive issues. Ramakrishnan cautions clients that the treatments aren’t cures. He also acknowledges that the though the FDA has approved compression therapy and the treadmill, it hasn’t approved cryotherapy or laser therapy. Aron Yustein, M.D., medical officer in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, wrote a July report stating there is “little evidence about (cryotherapy’s) safety or effectiveness in treating the conditions for which it is being promoted.” Research Director Janet Bogle, a registered nurse, said she was doubtful of the treatment’s benefits until clients she met at a Cincinnati cryotherapy clinic convinced her that it works. “I have two master’s (degrees) in health care, and I don’t want to jeopar-
dize those,” she said. Bogle, Kim and Ramakrishnan also said skeptics are welcome to try any treatment free of charge. Jasmine Hufford, a 22-year-old student from Parker, took them up on the offer. After surgery left her with recurrent pain, Hufford researched drug-free alternatives and discovered cryotherapy. “I was (skeptical), I mean you’re getting frozen at negative 240 degrees,” Hufford said. Despite her initial concerns, she
goes in three times a week. “My pain is less frequently recurrent and the pain is less intense when it does come back,” she said. Another client, 23-year-old Lassana Toure of Centennial, said he uses all of the treatments at the center, especially cryotherapy to relieve pain after workouts. He said he’s not concerned that the FDA doesn’t endorse the treatment. “Personally, I would rather try it for myself to see if it works or not,” he said. “And it does work.”
Venessa Kendall, lead technician at Innovative Body recovery in Meridian, uses a compression therapy machine on her legs at the clinic on Nov. 28. Kendall compares the machine, which uses air pressure to constrict parts of the body, to a deep tissue massage.
Micah Kim shows off a brain therapy device at Innovative Body Recovery in Meridian on Nov. 28. The headgear directs infrared light into the brain to stimulate cells, and Kim claims it helps with conditions from autism to PTSD.

Valor keeps grip on state crown Eagles win seventh state football championship in the past eight years BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After a 1-3 start, which included a 23-16 setback to Pomona, Valor Christian picked up its share of doubters.
But on Dec. 3 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, the Eagles’ season concluded in the fashion Valor players, coaches and fans have become accustomed — with a state champhionship. Valor defeated Pomona 30-14 for the Class 5A crown. It was the seventh state football title in eight seasons in three different classifications for Valor and the second consecutive championship for the Eagles, who also beat Pomona in
last season’s state-title contest. But this edition of the Eagles was distinct, according to Rod Sherman, who has been the Eagles’ head coach for the past four seasons and was the offensive coordinator for several previous campaigns. ”One thing as a coach that you want is to be better at the end of the year than you were at the beginning of the year,” Sherman said. ”If I was SEE FOOTBALL, P28

here was something missing from the Class 4A and 5A state championship football games Dec. 3 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in partnership with the Colorado High School Activities Association and the DenOVERTIME ver Broncos secured a great venue for these title games. Players and coaches love playing on the same field as the Denver Broncos and you don’t hear complaints. However, the atmosphere lacked Jim Benton the kind of buzz you might find at a smaller venue. With 9,502 fans combined for the two games in the 76,125-seat venue, it was hard to get a real sense of the zealous fans and students who were in attendance. There was an empty feeling looking at the vast surroundings and the estimated crowd of 4,500 that watched the second game between Valor Christian and Pomona. The answer might be to move the championship games to a high school stadium in the Denver area. But it would have to be to be a neutral site for the teams playing in the title contests. Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker, Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood or Legacy Stadium in Aurora might be able to house a crowd of 10,000 with the addition of temporary end zone bleachers. All-City Stadium in Denver would be a great site, but it’s probably too small. Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City is a soccer venue, but it’s the right size for a state football site. It’s big enough (18,061) to handle an overflow gathering for both games but a crowd of 9,000 to 10,000 would not be lost. Cyclo-Cross champion Maurine Sweeney of Highlands Ranch won the UCI Masters CycloCross World Championships for the 6569 age group on Dec. 2 in Mol, Belgium. Cyclo-cross is the national sport of Belgium and the races always involve sections where the racers must dismount and carry their bikes over powder-sugar sand. Some races involve sections in which bikes must be carried up stairs or over obstacles. Vista Nation finishes 13th The Vista Nation girls cross country team — which represents Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch — was 13th in the recent Nike Nationals cross country championship in Portland, Oregon. Freshman Jenna Fitzsimmons led the way, finishing 69th in the individual standings, with a time of 19 minutes, 1.2 seconds. Freshman Sarah O’Sullivan SEE BENTON, P28

WRESTLING: Only two returning veterans on the Douglas County High School roster FROM PAGE 27
loaded team this season with eight freshmen and sophomores on the varsity,” Huskies coach Gary Hartman said during a break in the Dec. 3 tournament’s action. “We are young but we are tough.” He said there are only two returning veterans on the roster but kids are stepping up to fill the holes in the starting lineup. Hartman said his wrestlers in the upper weights were strong and all four Huskies who placed in the top four in their weight classes were in the upper weights. Micah Smith (220 pounds) and James Seela (295 pounds) scored the best finishes for Douglas County as they both finished second in their weight classes, both losing in the title matches to Lakewood wrestlers. Smith took runner-up honors at 220 pounds when he lost the championship match to Michael Inouye of Lakewood while Seela was second at 295 pounds as he lost in the championship match to Hayden Still of Lakewood. The other two Huskies’ placers were Andrew Larson, who finished third at 295 pounds, and Austin Kelchen, who was fourth at 170 pounds. Coronado won the team title with

FOOTBALL: Valor senior Will Rodgers had three of six sacks in championship game the athletic director, I’d probably ask myself why we can’t start playing better at the beginning of the year. ”I felt we have come a long way, more than anything, physically. Every single position, we are a lot better now than we were at the beginning of the season. Pomona was a very, very good team. This title was special through the perseverance and diligence (that) we had to show this year.” The Eagles did not drop another game after their Sept. 23 loss to Pomona en route to finishing with an 11-3 record and securing the third seed in the state playoffs. Pomona, the top-seeded team, finished 12-2. ”It feels amazing to win another state championship,” said Valor senior Christian Elliss, who plays offense and defense. Senior Will Rodgers, who like Elliss is part of Valor’s linebacking corps, said the Eagles wanted to prove their grit after talk centered on how tough Pomona was at a press conference days before the game. “Even though we are a Christian school, we’re pretty tough, too,” Rodgers said. “That was a chip on our shoulders.” Rodgers had three of the six Valor Christian sacks during the game as the Eagles held Pomona to 29 yards rushing. The Eagles’ defense, which intercepted three Pomona passes, also had three tackles for losses. On offense, Valor Christian senior quarterback Dylan McCaffrey completed 8-of-19 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He led the team in rushing with 72 yards on 16 carries and one score. ”It wasn’t a perfect game — if there is such a thing as a perfect game,” McCaffrey said. ”There were things I could have done better, a couple throws I missed here and there. Our offensive line kept battling for running yards and did a good job throughout the whole game, and then defensively, they were amazing. I can’t describe how well our defensive line and secondary did.” The Eagles found themselves in an early deficit. Pomona grabbed a 7-0 lead, but then Valor scored twice in just over two minutes before the end of the first quarter and tallied 30

Elliss caught a 61-yard scoring pass for the Eagles’ first touchdown and McCaffrey’s younger brother Luke hauled in a 5-yard scoring pass for Valor’s second touchdown. Elliss, who rushed for 10 yards, caught two passes for 75 yards and was in on five tackles, had an interception to set up the McCaffrey-toMcCaffrey touchdown. ”I’m not going to roll over, and our team is not going to roll over,” Ellis said. “If someone had to give our team momentum, I would do it.” Jack Walley intercepted a pass by Pomona’s Ryan Marquez, leading to the Eagles’ initial touchdown. Hayden Courier’s interception late in the game short circuted any Panther comeback hopes. Valor Christian gained 312 yards on offense, while holding Pomona to just 209. ”I though we showed really good grit and resolve,” Sherman said. ”Again, I cannot be more proud of my team for something like that. It was tough to come back, but we showed heart and then, frankly, we controlled the game from the second quarter on.”

SOFTBALL: Sloane Stewartson credits work on fundamentals for improvement FROM PAGE 29
So, she recovered in 2016 and led the Continental League with a .644 batting average, 1.186 slugging percentage and a state-leading .731 on-base percentage. Stewartson belted eight home runs and had 30 runs batted in. Stewartson is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Player of the Year. “I was extremely happy with the way things went especially after last year when it was a rough year at least in my eyes I guess,” she said. “I was extremely happy with the way I performed this year. “I worked really hard. I practiced with my individual hitting coach sometimes twice a week to get prepared for games if I thought it was a super important game.”
Stewartson, who has signed a letter of intent to play at Louisiana Tech, adapted when opposing teams pitched around her. She drew 17 walks and was hit by two pitches last season. “It was a little frustrating but I could take it as respect,” said Stewartson. “If I don’t get a hit, I’m just relying to someone on the team to hit. It used to really bother me but I’ve gotten a lot better saying at least I’m on base for other people on my team. “I worked a lot of basic fundamentals but I worked more on pitch selection because I knew they weren’t going to pitch me anything really good to hit. I worked on which pitches to hit and obviously if it’s a low pitch I’m not going to be able to hit that for a home run. I just wanted to make good contact.”
