Commissioner helps drive economic growth Term-limited Jill Repella, of Highlands Ranch, has not decided what’s next By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Jill Repella, a Douglas County commissioner in the last year of a two-term run and a former candidate for Colorado lieutenant governor, never planned on taking the political road. Over the past eight years, Repella has focused on creating a business-friendly environment that has generated new jobs and on being an ambassador for the 16th-fastest growing county in the country. And
though she has not yet revealed her next step, some colleagues say she should stay in politics. “We can talk about parks and bike trails and open space all you want, but when you’re talking about a family and they are trying to put food on a the table…. the quality of life begins with jobs,” said Jack Hilbert, a former Douglas County commissioner who served alongside Repella from 2008-13. “That’s why Jill was unbelievable — she really gets the relationship between government and economic development and where to focus.” Repella, 51, a Republican, is leaving the three-member commissioner board because of term limits.
“Politics was never something that I envisioned myself going into,” she said, while sitting recently in a conference room at the Douglas County Sheriff’s substation in Highlands Ranch. “But I’m very much a problem solver and I think that problem-solving thinking is what led to a lot of success.” Repella was working in commercial architecture and architectural design in San Diego when she decided to move back to Colorado in 1994 to raise her children in Highlands Ranch, where she has remained since. “I felt the family values were pretty strong in Colorado,” she said,

Teens: Give us choice to opt out of P.E. classes Students in sports and activities would be eligible for waiver
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some high school students who participate in sports and other activities that require physical exertion would like to opt out of taking physical education classes and replace them with academic classes of their choice. The Douglas County School District’s Student Advisory Group presented the proposal at the Feb. 16 board of education meeting. The district requires high school students to take two physical education classes, a total of one credit, to graduate. Health classes can be taken for half of those required credits. “P.E. waivers have already been Opt out continues on Page 7

Last year, Wind Crest Women’s Club knit 262 caps for newborns at Littleton Adventist Hospital and 312 chemotherapy caps for Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver. They used the leftover yarn to
crochet scarves for the Denver Rescue Mission. No doubt about it, the club is living its goal to help others. “Our purpose originally was to do things for friends in the community,” club treasurer Mary Ellen Patrick said. “Now it’s turned into an outreach program.” The Women’s Club started in 2008 as a social meetup and creative outlet for residents at Wind Crest, a retirement community near Santa Fe Drive
and C-470. Founder Grace Breffle, who died last year, had a closetful of arts and crafts, club members say. “She was very creative in making something out of nothing,” Liz Yount said. About 30 women ages 66 to 98 meet every Monday for an hour-and-a-half in Wind Crest’s Town Center game room. They make food-tray favors for residents in Mill Vista, a nearby memory care unit.

Five candidates seek HRCA seats
FACES AMONG US
HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
CAROL HERRING Highlands Ranch resident, Healing Touch practitioner and registered nurse What I do I’m originally from Pennsylvania, and I have lived in Colorado twice — both times in Highlands Ranch. During my employment as a registered nurse in Denver, I had opportunities to work for Presbyterian St. Luke’s and Denver Health medical centers. After retiring from Denver Health Medical Center in February 2014, I was drawn to Healing Touch Therapy. I took the required classes and became certified as a Healing Touch practitioner. I now have my own business and love it as I can continue to help people. Healing Touch Therapy is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association. When I’m not working I devote time volunteering for LifeSpark Cancer Resources as a Healing Touch practitioner. LifeSpark Cancer Resources is a nonprofit organization located in Denver that offers Healing Touch and Reiki wellness therapies without charge for those with cancer. The therapies heal with energy. I find it very rewarding to use my training to provide relief for those in need. I love Jazzercise, jogging, reading, attending concerts, my monthly book club and educational conferences. It’s also a blessing for me to get together with my son and daughterin-law who live in Denver, as well as my friends.
Meet Carol Herring, a certified practitioner of Healing Touch, an energy-based, holistic approach to healing. “Healing Touch uses the gift of touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body and the energy centers that control the flow from the energy field to the physical body,” according to healingtouchprogram.com. Courtesy photo My transition to Colorado My first move to Highlands Ranch was in the mid-’90s and the second in early 2000. Both moves were because of my husband’s work transfers. I love Colorado with the stunning mountain views, the sunny skies, the wide variety of activities and the wonderful people.

Three board positions are up for vote by delegates
Committee. She calls Highlands Ranch Backcountry the “crown jewel” of the community.
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Dennis Seymour Seymour has worked in the aerospace industry for 30 years. He manages a yearly budget and resources staff. He’s been an HRCA delegate for six years, a board director for more than two years and a board treasurer for one year. He’s seeking re-election to continue “giving back to the community.”
Three incumbents and two challengers are running for three open seats on the Highlands Ranch Community Association board of directors. About 120 delegates will vote at the March 15 board meeting. “Everything is tallied that night and the finance committee will present the new slate of board members,” said Jamie Noebel, HRCA community relations manager. Residents should talk to their district delegate about their preferred candidates, said Noebel. An interactive map of the designated delegates can be found at www.hrcaonline.org/ About-Us/Who-We-Are/Leadership/ District-Delegates. Delegates will make the ultimate decision of who will be elected to the board. Candidates include incumbents Scott Lemmon, Melissa Park and Dennis Seymour. New candidates are Kurt Huffman and Jack Patterson. Scott Lemmon Lemmon is a business development manager for Arrow Systems Integration, a communication firm that specializes in voice and data systems. He’s lived in Highlands Ranch for about 16 years with his wife and three children. He’s been an HRCA volunteer for the past 12 years and hopes to continue providing community members “with the best possible place to live and work.” Melissa Park Park is a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker and has lived in Highlands Ranch since 2006. She’s served on the HRCA Board of Directors for the past year and previously as chair of the Backcountry Planning Areas Advisory
Kurt Huffman Huffman, a 20-year resident of Highlands Ranch, is a Colorado licensed professional engineer and Douglas County registered general contractor. A few of his goals for the HRCA include a balanced budget with a designated controlled cash reserve fund and term limits for the board of directors and committee chairpersons. He’s submitted applications for HRCA committee volunteer positions in the past years but has yet to be interviewed, he wrote on his application. Jack Patterson Patterson and his wife purchased a Highlands Ranch home in 2013. He has experience in business and organizational management. He’s the regional vice president of human resources for HUB international Insurance Services. Patterson has volunteered as an HRCA sports coach and is involved in ministries at Mission Hills Church. The candidates’ full applications can be found at http://hrcaonline.org/ About-Us/Who-We-Are/Elections. Noebel encourages community members to educate themselves on the five prospects and have open communication with delegates before voting night. “Delegates are really the liaison and the voice for the community members,” she said. “We want residents to know the delegate is the first course to bring information to the board.”

Repella Continued from Page 1
“and that’s the environment I wanted to raise my kids in.” A single mother, she has three children — a Mountain Vista High School student, a recent Colorado School of Mines graduate and one who recently joined the Wyoming National Guard. “I don’t know if everyone understands what a devoted mother she is,” said former congressman Bob Beauprez, who chose Repella as his lieutenant governor during his 2014 unsuccessful run for governor. “Family sometimes suffers in public life, but she is a dedicated, devoted mother — and I admire that about her.” Repella’s political involvement started small, with frustration over a traffic issue in Highlands Ranch. Because of how she handled the issue, someone suggested she run for a seat on the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors. She did — in 1996 — and served eight years on the board, which oversees and manages resources for Highlands Ranch. She also served on the Douglas County Planning Commission and was elected to the Douglas County school board in the early 2000s. In 2008, she was elected District 3 Douglas County commissioner and re-elected in 2012. Her district includes Highlands Ranch, part of Sedalia and some other areas of unincorporated Douglas County. Bringing in business If there is one thing Douglas County residents know about Repella as a commissioner, it’s that she is businessfriendly and has been instrumental in bringing new businesses to the area. For Repella, strengthening the economy by bringing business to Douglas County during a recession is one of the highlights of her career. “I knew that we had to do things very

differently,” she said, referencing the knowledge she gained from working in the commercial architecture field. “I recognized that, during the recession, we needed to work with the business community and understand their challenges to make sure businesses were successful. Because when they’re successful, they provide jobs. To me, it was a very simple process.” When Repella sat next to him on the board of commissioners, Hilbert said her passion for economic development was evident. Repella went out into the community and talked to businesses. She explained that Douglas County wanted to create an environment where businesses and the government could work together. “I think that she has done an amazing job of bringing in businesses to Douglas County — which brings jobs and helps tax revenue,” said Tanne Blackburn, chairman of the Douglas County Republicans. Douglas County has an unemployment rate of 2.6 percent — the fourth-lowest rate in the nation among mid-sized counties. The national unemployment rate is 4.9 percent. Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge cites Repella’s skills in assisting businesses as one reason the county’s unemployment rate is the lowest it has been in 14 years. “We were by far more successful in strengthening our economy than I ever could have imagined,” Repella said. “We knew what we needed to do. We needed to streamline our permit process. We needed to be responsive to the business community. We needed to listen to what their challenges are. We needed to
demonstrate that we are a partner with them as a government — which is not typical.” A key element to that success, Repella said, was Colorado House Bill 12-1029 — also known as the Save Colorado Jobs Act — which passed unanimously in the state Legislature in 2012. The measure allowed individual counties the right to waive up to 100 percent of a new company’s business personal property tax. Until then, jurisdictions could only waive up to 50 percent. “I hated sitting across the table from a business and saying, ‘I’ll waive 50 percent,’ because that’s like saying, ‘We’ll go halfway,’” Repella said. “If I said, ‘I’ll waive 100 percent of the business personal property tax,’ it makes a bigger statement. It’s not a big dollar amount, but it’s more about the demonstration of commitment.” Beauprez would like to see Colorado replicating Douglas County’s accomplishments. That’s why he asked Repella to be his running mate when he ran for governor in 2014. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper ultimately was re-elected in a close race. “The fact that people want to move to Douglas County and invest in Douglas County, that’s not by accident,” Beauprez said. “That pro-business, pro-economic growth philosophy — Jill and her fellow commissioners did a great job of that and the evidence is overwhelming.” Looking forward Going into her last year as commissioner, Repella still has the
Two Highlands Ranch residents are running to replace Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella in District 3. Both are women and both are familiar faces to many county residents, though they have different backgrounds. Monica Wasden is a businesswoman, while Lora Thomas is the former Douglas County coroner. The Republican county assembly will be held March 19 to determine who will make the June primary ballot — but candidates may also petition onto the ballot. The winner of the primary then moves on to the November general election.

business community in mind. Through the Denver South Economic Development Partnership — an economic development organization with special focus on transportationand business climate-related public policy areas — Repella is working with a group to put together a robust business retention effort in the south metro area. “What we’re wanting to do is go b out and meet with the businesses in J the community and compile data and information on what’s working and b what’s not working,” Repella said.

Silverthorn fined for campaign violation School board president is candidate for state Senate By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The president of the Douglas County Board of Education has been fined for keeping her school board campaign committee open at the same time she launched a bid for state Senate. Meghann Silverthorn, who last campaigned for a school board seat when she was re-elected in 2013, was fined $400 by the state for the campaign violation, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Under the law, she was required to Silverthorn close the county committee within 10 days of becoming a candidate for state Senate in July 2015. The complaint was brought to the state by Charles Bucknam, of Parker, and Mikel Whitney, of Castle Rock, on Dec. 29, according the Secretary of State’s Office. The fine was issued by Judge Robert Spencer on Feb. 23. “After I learned of the complaint around New Year’s, I promptly closed the school board committee,” Silverthorn said in an email Feb. 29. “It is a mark of how complex state campaign finance rules are that I, a rocket scientist — a fact that I rarely mention but in this case it is illustrative — was confused ... I have definitely taken steps to ensure that no future violations will occur.” Silverthorn, who has degrees in aerospace engineering and political science, has worked for the Air Force Research Laboratory and as an analyst for the Department of Defense. When Silverthorn closed the campaign account, she donated the entire balance — $1,729.57 — to a 501(c)(3) charity, in accordance with state law. The money was donated to ACE Scholarships, a group whose mission is “to provide children of low-income families with scholarships to private schools in grades
COULD SILVERTHORN HOLD TWO OFFICES AT ONCE? Meghann Silverthorn said she has not ruled out the possibility of serving on the school board and in the state Senate at the same time. A spokeswoman for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, however, said the state constitution prevents a person from holding an elected legislative position and a local elected position at the same time. “I will step down from my school board seat when my term ends, or when it becomes necessary in the best interests of the constituency I serve,” Silverthorn said. “Although I have not seen anyone holding that particular combination, others have held two elected seats — Dr. (James) Geddes on our board, for example, was a BOE member and a CU Regent for one year until his regent term ended. Merlin Klotz, the Douglas County clerk and recorder, also currently serves on the Parker Water Board.” In the two cases cited by Silverthorn, neither served in the Legislature. “Clearly, this is something I’ll have to resolve in the event I win the seat,” Silverthorn said when informed about the Secretary of State spokeswoman’s statement.
K-12, and to advocate for expanded school choice,” according to its website. Silverthorn is among five candidates, all Republicans, for the District 4 Senate seat, which serves Castle Rock, Parker, Franktown, Larkspur and Castle Pines. The other hopefuls are Shawnda Dupree, Jess Loban, Benjamin Lyng and James Smallwood. The post has been occupied by Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, for the past eight years, but he is leaving because of term limits. At the March 19 county Republican assembly, the candidates will be vying to get on the ballot for the primary election, which is in June. The winner of the primary will be on the general election ballot in November.
Right-to-die bill falls short again Sponsors pull measure due to lack of support in House By James Anderson Associated Press The sponsors of a Colorado rightto-die bill that would let terminally ill people end their own lives abruptly withdrew the proposal on Feb. 24, tearfully and angrily conceding they didn’t have the votes for it to pass the Democrat-led state House. Democratic Reps. Joann Ginal of Fort Collins and Lois Court of Denver vowed before a hushed House chamber that they will introduce legislation again next year. Citing polls that suggest most Colorado voters support a right-to-die law, they also told colleagues they were doing them a bitter political favor by not forcing a voice vote on the House floor to reveal where each member stood on the issue this election year. “I am profoundly disappointed that we have gotten to this point, and I am profoundly disappointed in you, colleagues, because you have disappointed 65 percent of your constituents,” Court said. “But make no mistake. The voice of this state will be heard. You will hear from your constituents.” The bill, cosponsored by Democratic Sen. Michael Merrifield of Colorado Springs, required that a mentally competent patient have a six-month prognosis and get two doctors to sign off after three requests for life-ending medication. It
calls for safe storage of lethal drugs and recognizes that a patient can change his or her mind. Oregon, Washington, Vermont and California have passed right-to-die laws. New York, Arizona and Maryland are considering legislation. Montana’s state Supreme Court has ruled that doctors could use a patient’s request for life-ending medication as a defense against any criminal charges linked to the death. “I want to empower people to decide how best to manage their life without being criminalized,” Ginal said as she tearfully described the death of a brother of blood cancer last year. Opponents argued the bill would facilitate doctor-assisted suicides, especially after mistaken terminal diagnoses, and they insisted existing hospice and palliative care for the dying is sufficient. The arguments helped defeat a similar proposal last year. During hours of testimony this month, lawmakers asked pointed questions about tracking lethal drugs once they are prescribed; the influence doctors or family — wittingly or unwittingly — can have on patients’ decision-making; and the consequences for disabled patients suffering depression, among other issues. Supporters had hoped to send the bill back to the Republican-controlled Senate, where a committee rejected legislation on a party-line vote earlier in February. “To those who have testified, I’m sorry that we could not help you. I’m sorry that this state Legislature has failed you,” Ginal said Feb. 24.

Ceremony welcomes 49 new citizens Six continents, 25 countries represented at Denver event By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Hundreds of people sat smiling in rows of folding chairs set up in a large room at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver. The first few rows were filled with 49 of the United States’ newest citizens. In honor of Presidents Day, the 49 new citizens joined nearly 20,000 others like them across the country to take the Oath of Allegiance at more than 180 naturalization ceremonies held between Feb. 12 and Feb. 22 by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. In Colorado, Immigration Judge Melanie Corrin administered the oath on Feb. 17. The new citizens represented 25 different countries from six of the world’s seven continents. They came from cities throughout the Denver-metro area, including Arvada, Englewood, Lakewood,
Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster and Wheat Ridge. Some traveled from Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. No matter what country they originated from, all had to complete a series of steps to gain citizenship, said Andy Lambrecht, director of the Denver field office of citizen and immigration services. They each have their own story and their own reason for pursuing citizenship, he added. The first most important action on Feb. 17 was to raise their right hands and recite the oath, said Scott Koenigsberg, a supervisory immigration services officer. The second, he added, was to register to vote. President Barack Obama welcomed the new citizens through a short video presentation, and representatives from the offices of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet read a welcome letter or speeches. “By being here today,” Bennet’s letter read, “you have demonstrated that you can achieve great things.”

Sunscreen FAQ’s To understand why, let’s look at what type of sunscreen is best: • Look for products labeled “broad spectrum.” This indicates that the sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Of note, the SPF rating only denotes how much UVB protection a product contains. • Physical blocking sunscreens (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) with an SPF of at least 30 are best. • Physical blockers work the instant they are applied to the skin. They stay on top of the skin blocking the sun’s harmful rays and are not absorbed into the blood stream like many chemical sunscreens.
Doesn’t my make-up or moisturizer have enough coverage? • No. These products rarely provide adequate UVA and UVB coverage and typically contain less than the recommended SPF rating
Do I need to wear sunscreen daily? Even in the winter? How often? • Yes. Sunscreen should be worn daily, even during the winter and when it is overcast. At least 70% of the UV rays reach the earth’s surface even on a cloudy day. • Sunscreen should be applied at least every two hours while in the sun continuously and more frequently if swimming or sweating excessively.
Am I at greater risk for skin cancer and photodamage as a Coloradan? • Yes. The sun increases in intensity by roughly 6% with every 1,000 feet of elevation gained. As a result, the sun is over 30% more intense in Denver than it would be at sea level.

March 3, 2016 Missy Franklin, the 20-year-old, four-time Olympic gold medalist, talks about managing her time as a professional swimmer. “I’m a very old soul,” she said. “In my free time I’m usually sitting at home, drinking tea and reading a book.” Photo by Alex DeWind
Missy Franklin: ‘I’m very much a homebody’
“
I’m a huge baker — I love to bake things. I’ll bake a huge batch of cookies and have one, and then I have to get them out of the house so I bring them to my teammates.”
Olympic swimming gold medalist talks about life in and out of the water By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
O
lympic gold medalist Missy Franklin calls herself an old soul: To her, the simple things matter most. A cup of hot tea after a long day. A good book. A dinner and a movie on her own. “I’m very much a homebody,” the 20-year-old said. “My idea of a fun day is sitting at home, drinking tea, reading books and just being quiet … Having that time for me sort of fills me up so when I’m back around people I can really enjoy it.” But that time is limited. Franklin, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, has 10, two-hour workouts in the water and three, one-hour dryland workouts per week. She also incorporates hot yoga into her training, which she was reluctant to try at first. “I thought I was going to hate hot yoga,” she said. “And the first couple of classes I really did. I thought, ‘I’m going to faint, this is so embarrassing.’” Franklin, who sat down recently with Colorado Community Media to talk about life in and out of the water, is in training mode for the upcoming Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics in August. That includes her diet. She learned to cook from her mother, “the best cook in the whole world.” She eats five to six meals a day — her daily intake is 4,000 to 5,000 calories — and considers cooking a fun challenge. She could splurge on a fast-food hamburger after swimming 13,000 meters, but she knows it wouldn’t be beneficial to her body, she said. “Nutrition is almost as important as what we do in the pool,” she said. “You have to fuel your body with the right things.” Franklin’s passion for swimming hasn’t diminished since four years ago, when she set a world record and won four gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics. “You have to keep that love,” she said. “That’s why I’m still here — I love to swim, I love to practice every day.” Franklin was born in Pasadena, California, and moved to Colorado when she was 2 days old. She’s lived in the same house in Centennial for the majority of her life. She found her faith while attending Regis Jesuit High School. Before every race, she prays that she will do her

Missy Franklin dances on stage at a ceremony in Centennial honoring her and other Colorado Olympians returning from London in August 2012. File photo best. “For me — more than anything — it helps keep things in perspective,” she said. “In any elite position, it’s so easy to get caught up in everything.” Swimming has opened doors to many different worlds. She’s traveled across the globe. She was featured as a cameo in the teen sensation “Pretty Little Liars.” And she’s been endorsed by major athletic brands, including Speedo. But she hasn’t let the stardom get to her head. Franklin turned down endorsements after the 2012 Olympics, in part, so she could be on a college swimming team. If an athlete turns professional, he or she loses eligibility to compete in collegiate athletics. Franklin continues on Page 7

IF YOU COULD ASK MISSY ANY QUESTION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? “I would have to say something about college. When she was in college how (did she) balance her social life with swimming and the media and everything?” Abby Kochevar, Rock Canyon High School senior and two-time state champion in the 100-yard backstroke Franklin: “It’s all about prioritization. There are some weeks where swimming is my top priority and others where school is my main priority. There are also weeks when I need to find some time for myself, so it’s really learning how to balance all three.”
“I think if I met Missy Franklin I would ask her what is her favorite kind of swimming set? Or I would ask her if she could’ve done any other sport what would she have done?” Lydia VanKooten, Littleton High School sophomore ranked 65th in the state by College Swimming Franklin: “My favorite set is a lactate set where you do all-out effort with a lot of rest because I love having race scenarios in practice. If I wasn’t a swimmer, I’d play volleyball.”
More thoughts from Missy Franklin... On college: After Missy Franklin won four gold medals in the London 2012 Olympics, she had the opportunity to turn professional — she was 17. But when an athlete becomes a professional, he or she is no longer eligible for collegiate athletics. After many conversations with her parents, Franklin decided to turn down endorsements and keep her amateur status so she could be on a college swimming team. “My parents had to be honest in telling me that I was turning down money that could sustain me and my family for the rest of my life — money that could send my kids to college,” she said. But she wanted to be a freshman, live in the dorms and belong to a college swim team. She chose University of California, Berkeley, where she experienced challenges and formed relationships she will have for the rest of her life, she said. “I had the most unbelievable two years. I’m going back in the fall — which I’m so excited about — to finish up and get my degree.” On swimming: Franklin finds swimming “incredibly therapeutic.” Whether she’s had a good or bad day, the water will always be there for her, she said. “It gives me a space to work through stuff or to not think at all,”

adopted in many other school districts and actually currently exist in this district,” said Alec Greven, president of the Student Advisory Group and a junior at Castle View High School. “There is a P.E. waiver. The only hard thing is that it is not commonly known and it’s difficult for students to apply for. We want to fix that and make sure students can take advantage of it.” Adams County and Cherry Creek school districts offer students the option of a one-time waiver for 0.5 physical education credits — the equivalent of one class — if they participate in athletics or sanctioned activities like marching band. The advisory group, comprised of more than 50 members with students from each district high school, provides a student voice to the school board and superintendent. The group recently launched a new Twitter handle @mydcsdk12, where students can get information from and communicate with the district. The group worked on the issue with Corey Wise, the district’s director of high school education, to determine what may be possible. School board President Meghann Silverthorn, the liaison between the board and the advisory group, said she supports expanding course options for students through the use of a physical eduction waiver. “This is something that kids have been a little bit spun-up about for quite some time,” Silverthorn said. “One thing about kids is that they are kind of gray. They see all of this possibility where adults are
she said. Sometimes she sings songs, counts her strokes or reviews lists. Other times, she doesn’t think about anything. To Franklin, the water has been her therapist and friend for the past 20 years. “The water is nonjudgmental,” she said. “When you dive in, nothing matters except who’s there in that moment.” On professional sports: Franklin had the chance to attend this year’s Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. She saw a professional sporting event from a different perspective — as a spectator in the stands. “It was so interesting watching a major athletic performance on one of the greatest stages in the world after competing on one,” she said. “I was trying to imagine how Peyton (Manning) was feeling in the locker room.” She soon realized it was just another football game. The only difference was the media and the attention. “You have to figure out a way to use that to motivate and excite you,” Franklin said. Professional sporting events are special, she said, but athletes can’t let the game get too far ahead of them. “Don’t ever feel like you’re not big enough to be there, because you are there and you made it.”
kind of constrained by our own paradigm. And until we start talking to kids, we don’t even know it.” The decision on whether or not to opt out would belong to the individual student, Greven said. “Marching band is a great example because there are many students who would like to take classes like fine arts and band orchestra rather than fulfill that P.E. credit,” Greven said. The Student Advisory Group will be working with the superintendent and individual schools to come up with a formal proposal in the coming months, he said. “What we ultimately determined is that this is a high school-to-high school decision,” Greven said. “It is up to the individual school. We are going to be working with high school principals to make progress.” Kayleigh Kappas, a senior volleyball player at Douglas County High School, said although she sees the positive side of having the choice to opt out, many athletes enjoy taking physical education classes. “Personally, I competed in varsity sports and outside I play club volleyball, so I’m highly competitive,” Kappas said. “And, for me, I want to work on my sport whenever I get the chance to, whether that’s lifting or running. I don’t think I would benefit from (opting out), but I could see where people would.” Ryan Simpson, also a senior at Douglas County High, said he thought the proposal provides students with academic options. “I think it’s a good idea, because there are students who are very busy,” Simpson said. “They go from school to sports to competitive sports after school. To have an extra off hour or another class to focus on, it makes sense.”
“If you had it all to do over again, would you swim high school swimming? Kylie Andrews, sophomore at Heritage High School, 5A state champion in 100-yard freestyle Franklin: “I loved swimming at Regis and wouldn’t change a thing. Being a part of that team was so important to me and was an important part of my high school experience. It’s also a big reason why I wanted to swim in college so much! I knew I would get a very similar team experience!”
Franklin
Rio Olympics in mind. It would’ve been difficult to go through two Olympics with an amateur status, she said. She took time off from school to train and will return this fall to complete her degree. “I can’t wait,” she said. “I miss it so much.” Franklin plans to compete through the 2020 Olympics. But, first, she will take a much-needed break after Rio this year. “I haven’t done that before,” she said, “and the older you get the more important it is to have those breaks.” The day she stops learning from swimming is the day she stops competing. And although she’s nervous for that time, she’s also excited: “It will give me extra time to invest myself in other things that I am really passionate about.”
Continued from Page 6
The decision was difficult because the offers could’ve financially supported her for the rest of her life, she said. “My parents let me make my own decisions,” Franklin said, “but they make sure I have every ounce of knowledge about the situation.” She kept her amateur status for two years of college at University of California, Berkeley. She would’ve made the same decision 100 times over, she said. But in March 2015, Franklin decided to begin swimming professionally with the

Running group focuses on encouraging women Moms/She Runs This Town chapter launched in January
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Running clothes were the connector when Tracy Manning and Monica Kopp, both relatively new to Castle Rock, met while picking up their children at school. In no time, they became running buddies. But they wanted to expand their circle. “Selfishly, I wanted to meet other ladies,” said Kopp, who moved to Castle Rock from Chicago in July. Seeing women running in their neighborhoods, the two knew more women could benefit from meeting other runners. That’s when Manning remembered Moms Run This Town, a group she was involved in while living in Atlanta. The

received an overwhelming response from women in the Castle Rock area with interest in running more. That’s when she and Kopp decided to launch the Castle Rock chapter of Moms/She Runs This Town. The Castle Rock chapter was officially established on Jan. 16, and has grown to 126 members. As a chapter, they meet for runs — and walks — every Saturday morning and aim to provide inspiration, encouragement and motivation. There are members of all paces from walkers to runners. And new members are always welcome. “We don’t want women to feel intimidated because they don’t run orOffice walk, but they can come out and start Westminster — it doesn’t matter where you’re at,” Kopp said. “One of Space For Lease the big motivators is a lot of people just want to run with someone or be held accountable.” For Julie Shellenberger, who recently joined the group, having other women around is motivation. “It got me moving,” she said, while walking the East Plum Creek Trail. “Everyone is so encouraging and there’s “Motivated Seller” accountability. It’s a fun way to meet other ladies with the common interest of healthiness.” But the group is about more than just running. “In this day and age, when everyone is so critical of each other, it’s important that we lift each other up,” Manning said, adding they also want to create community and friendships. The group meets at 9 a.m. every Saturday at Festival Park — a recent shift from Plum Creek because of the lack in parking there. As the weather warms up and days stay lighter longer, there are hopes to add a weeknight run — and, maybe, of a potluck and socials, too. “We have a ton of ideas,” Manning said, “and we’re just trying to reel it in.”

We’re human, and we make mistakes You know those moments in life where we wish we hadn’t done something, where we’re sorry we said what we said, or where we failed to act or speak when we had the chance? We wish we could turn back the hands of time, pull the words back into our mouths, or relive the moments where we could have done something more about a given situation. And for some of us guilt sets in, our overdeveloped sense of obligation takes over and we stew over the mistakes we made in life. I mean we stress and worry about them to the point of making ourselves sick, losing sleep, and eating poorly. Now just remember, 98 percent of all the things we worry about are not worth worrying about. First, they have already happened and there is nothing we can do about them; or second, they will never happen. Therefore, wait to worry, regardless of the mistakes we make. Oh the mistakes we have made, and oh the mistakes we will certainly make again in the future. And when it comes to mistakes, I am probably right at the top of the leaderboard. I can’t tell you how many times I have said to myself, “Oh Michael” or “Oh the mistakes you have made.” But here’s the good news when it comes to the mistakes we make or even the mistakes others make that have a direct impact on us. First, we can choose to learn from each mistake. When we find ourselves in the
same circumstance or familiar position, we can remember what happened last time, acknowledge the mistake, and make a choice to respond or react differently — so when we walk away from the situation we can be proud that we had a growth moment. Michael Norton Second, we can offer the necessary WINNING apologies and we can WORDS forgive ourselves of the mistakes and errors that we make, regardless of how often we make those mistakes, as some of us just take longer to learn from the error of our ways while others happen to be very fast learners. We also need to accept the forgiveness of others when we do something wrong or say anything that may have been considered hurtful to another person. If they are big enough to forgive us, we need to be big enough to accept it. Third, we can choose to forgive those who have made mistakes that directly and adversely impact us. Holding on to anger or maintaining an upset position only causes us further grief and stress. And the likelihood is that we too have made the same mistake or
similar mistakes at some point. Or maybe a close friend or family member screwed up in a major way. We would expect understanding and forgiveness in those situations, so why not choose to live and forgive when mistakes happen that affect us as well? Oh the mistakes we have made and the mistakes we will make and what to do about them. Learn from them, forgive yourself, accept forgiveness from others, and offer forgiveness to others. The hands of time won’t be turned back, words that have been spoken or sent in a text can’t get pulled back into our mouths or into our phones, and our inaction cannot be relived. The mistakes will happen; let’s just be better prepared to deal with them and move ahead. How about you? Are you living in the shadow and shackles of mistakes you have made? Or have you learned from those mistakes, offered apologies, accepted forgiveness, and forgiven yourself? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we realize that we can move beyond the mistakes that we make and that 98 percent of all the things we worry about are not worth worrying about at all, it really will be a better than good week.

March is like the Midwest: You just get through it When you think about March, what comes to mind? If anything. March is the connective tissue between winter and spring, at least around here. In England, it might be different. Charles Dickens Craig Marshall Smith wrote in “Great ExQUIET pectations”: “It was DESPERATION one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” It is not a very glamorous month. However, it is notable for a few things. March 27 is Easter Sunday, or is that redundant? There’s March Madness — the NCAA basketball tournament. But if you know college basketball, you know that the tournament climaxes in April. We are expected to do something in March that I resent every year. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on March 13. It’s dumb. Most of my clocks change on their own now, as if a Time Fairy comes through here in the middle of the night. In New York and other cities, there will be big, bright and woozy parades on Thursday, March 17. If you decide to parade to a bar in metro Denver, have a plan because the DUI team will be out in big numbers. Call me, and I will come and get you. Some of my students and I were in New York, specifically at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on St. Patrick’s Day in 2002. We all ate lunch in the old cafeteria, which was much better than the new one. Most of us had corned beef and cabbage,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Article on seniors hits the mark I very much enjoyed your coverage of senior living as both Highlands Ranch and its citizens “mature.” We’ve lived here 17 years after living in several other states during our professional lives. Right now, we’re in great health and enjoy our home. But down the road, buying a condo or smaller home in the area is not likely. So where do we go? We’re looking at Alabama and Georgia. But, again, would love to just keep on living here in the ‘Ranch.

Dementia caregivers must care for selves Jim was the reason I had come to this house in a quiet Douglas County neighborhood. But his wife, Ellie, not officially my patient, also sparked my concern that day. Her husband’s dementia made getting out of the house difficult for the pair, even for a doctor’s appointment, and that’s why I came to check in. Ellie looked drawn, and I asked whether she had seen her own physician recently. When she said no, I inquired about how long it had been since her last visit. “Since I realized Jim couldn’t be alone at home anymore,” Ellie replied. “Maybe three years.” Jim and Ellie aren’t their actual names, but this story is real enough. Spouses and adult children caring for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias neglect their own health because of their loved ones’ intense and increasing needs. This isn’t good for them or those in their care. Currently, 229,000 unpaid caregivers devote 261 million hours annually to helping 65,000 Coloradans with dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. With the number of people
in Colorado with Alzheimer’s or another memoryimpairing disease expected to increase by over 40 percent in the coming decade, more family members will take on the caregiver role. Studies have Dr. Thomas Lally shown the majority of family dementia LIVING AND experiAGING WELL caregivers ence depression. Their stress is linked to hypertension, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other maladies. Here in Douglas County, I see the people behind the data. Some caregivers haven’t taken the time to have their own medications checked and are on prescription drugs that may no longer be appropriate. Others don’t go to the grocery store regularly and nutrition suffers. Many are so consumed by their duties they become cut off from other
people. Few get enough sleep. Neglecting their own well-being is not something caregivers do deliberately. It’s an insidious process over a long period of time. On average, 12 years pass between the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and the end of life. Symptoms tend to evolve in stages. Early on, caring for a loved one at home, while not easy, can be manageable. But as the disease progresses, capacities diminish and more challenging behavioral expressions such as wandering can emerge. The loved one’s needs are now nonstop and overwhelming. The devoted spouse or adult child becomes isolated and exhausted, ultimately unable to sustain the intense pace of care. Many dementia caregivers wish to handle their mission by themselves. For spouses accustomed to the pledge to care for each other that comes of a marriage, this issue is especially emotional. But I urge all in this role to understand it’s virtually impossible to go it alone and to take the following steps: Contact the Denver office of the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter at 303-813-1669 for information on local
support groups. Go online for more resources at such sites as Alzheimer’s Reading Room (www. alzheimersreadingroom.com). Say yes to those offering to assist, whether they are relatives, friends, people from church or anyone else extending a helping hand. Look into respite care to get some rest and the opportunity to do things left undone for a long time. Recognize that constant exhaustion, always feeling down, neglecting one’s own health, no longer going to the grocery store or seeing family and friends are indications the time has come to evaluate whether caring for the loved one at home is still feasible. Keep in mind that to provide the best care, caregivers must look after themselves, too.

active years, and had a lot of admiration for him. What else about March? The March Hare, of course, in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” who was “mad” at the tea party. If you are as mad as a March hare, it’s partly because you are feeling amorous. March is the beginning of the long breeding season for rabbits. Otherwise, March will come and go and we will be staring wistfully at April, and wondering where winter went, looking at tax day, and the opening of the baseball season. The Rockies open on the road on April 1. No fooling. I don’t have any attachments to March. I like the word, however. It is a noun and a verb. It’s the last name of a great actor. Fredric March, who won an Academy Award for his remarkable performance in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” He was both. Later March starred in “The Best Years of Our Lives.” I think he has been forgotten. But at one time he was an A-list actor. It’s hard to get excited about the month of March.

with great disappointment. Are you sure the Douglas County Republican Committee didn’t just send you the same info four times with four different names on it? And how about a little reality check? The only thing missing was climate-change denial. Millions of jobs lost due to Obamacare? Where? Colorado’s unemployment rate in December was 3.5 percent, full employment is considered 4 percent. Loss of Second Amendment rights? Castle Rock approved open carry — what do you want now, open shooting? The Senate is currently split 18-17 in favor of the Republicans. Imagine for a moment that we could elect a reasonable independent to be the tiebreaker between the two parties (even better if there were more than one). Then real issues could get addressed — local rights vs fracking industry, expansion of alternative energy
at a rate power companies could support, water rights, infrastructure needs particularly for smaller communities it the state, banking for the marijuana industry. It would only take one Republican seat to flip to make progress possible but it would have to flip to an independent. What the four candidates’ statements showed is they are far from being independent thinkers. Their comments are the party bullet points intended to generate fear rather than actually saying anything. Did even one of them suggest something they wanted to accomplish? We all know politics is a money game which is why the Democrats can’t even find a candidate willing to throw away cash in a heavy Republican district. But there is a path for an independent — a write-in. And if nothing else, use the opportunity as a protest vote. Image if the winner in the election were a writein called Joe Independent. If a fictional candidate won out over party-endorsed puppets, that would send a statement. Count one vote for Joe — anybody else? Steven Johnson Castle Rock

J
ustin Swartz, co-owner of the Gigi’s Cupcakes franchise at Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton and another in Denver, never envisioned owning a cupcake shop. But business is so good, he’s considering opening another location in Colorado Springs. “We were really in there at the ground floor of it,” said Swartz, who grew up in Littleton and opened his store in August 2010, just as the cupcake craze was gaining steam. It seems like just yesterday cupcakes were a simple go-to treat for classroom birthday parties in elementary school. These days, cupcakes are all grown up, and some are leading quite a posh life. The advent of reality TV shows like “Cupcake Wars” and “DC Cupcakes” precipitated the explosive popularity of cupcakes in the late 2000s. Some believed cupcake shops would be a passing fad. But the phenomenon has endured and, for many, the business model has been sustainable. Gigi Butler, founder of the national Gigi’s Cupcakes franchise, says on her website she received the same response four times when asking for a bank loan: “A cupcake shop — are you kidding?” Gigi’s started with a single shop in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2008. Today, it has more than 100 locations in 23 states and, according to multiple media reports, enjoys more than $30 million in annual sales. The Denver and Littleton locations were stores No. 7 and No. 8, respectively. Some Denver-area shops dedicated to the art of cupcake-making have been around for more than five years, and business continues to grow for many, despite operating in Colorado’s health-conscious climate. Swartz — who actively seeks outside business, from corporate events to the 300 weddings he supplies with cupcakes per year — makes sugar-free and gluten-free varieties to cater to everyone’s needs. Cupcake boutiques decorate Main Street thoroughfares and roads less traveled, and have varying degrees of success. Passing pedestrians make up a portion of the sales at Nomelie Cupcakes in downtown Parker, said Soumya Sen, who owns the business with his wife, Avantika. But it’s often large orders for birthday parties, Cupcakes continues on Page 13

#FreeKesha and standing alongside women A guiding principle of my life comes from Scottish author Ian MacLaren — “Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Pop recording artist Kesha’s fight is among the hardest. A Feb. 19 court decision has made her battle the epicenter of an intense discussion about disregarding women’s claims against their abusers. For those unfamiliar with the singer, Kesha is the voice behind some of this decade’s biggest pop smashes, including “Tik Tok” and “Die Young.” She records under Sony and Kemosabe, the record label created and run by Dr. Luke, the stage name of songwriter and producer Lukasz Gottwald. Here’s a primer for the situation between the 28-year-old musician and producer: In 2014, Kesha alleged in a lawsuit Dr. Luke drugged and raped her when she was 18 years old and continued to sexually and verbally abuse her throughout their work relationship. In her suit against the producer, she included Sony as a codefendant. Dr. Luke and Sony countersued, alleging Kesha’s claims were false and a move by the singer to renegotiate her contract. As a result, she has been unable to record
any music or tour until the situation is resolved. She doesn’t, understandably, want to work with someone she says has been abusing her for years. Time is fleeting in the music industry. And silence Clarke Reader from an artist for too long can lead to LINER loss of interest from NOTES fans, along with serious financial losses. Aware of this fact, Kesha filed a preliminary injunction in February 2015 so she could record outside of her contract with Sony and Kemosabe. But on Feb. 19, New York Supreme Court Judge Shirley Kornreich ruled against Kesha, saying the injunction was an effort to “decimate a contract that was heavily negotiated and typical for the industry.” That means any attempts to make music must be with Dr. Luke and Sony. As an onlooker, I can only imagine the horror Kesha must have felt at the decision.
Cupcakes
Decisions, decisions With 60-plus flavors, Nomelie customers sometimes find it hard to choose. But it’s no problem for those with an adventurous spirit. Phipps became hooked six years ago after biting into a red velvet cupcake at Nomelie, which opened in 2009. She now finds herself trying exotic concoctions and tried-and-true flavors like coconut cream. “We just found this place one day and the cupcakes are fantastic,” she said, “so it’s like an enjoyable, relaxing treat to come here.” Karstin Painter, of Denver, had the same delighted impression of gourmet cupcakes upon first trying them as many people do. The cotton candy-flavored cupcake is “disturbingly good,” said Painter, who visited Gigi’s Cupcakes in Littleton Feb. 18 with her husband and 3-year-old son. Gigi’s serves more than 200 flavors of cupcakes out of traditional storefronts in Littleton and Denver, but reaches the masses with kiosks at Sports Authority Field, the Pepsi Center and the Colorado Convention Center, as well as two food

Selection: The 1975’s “ I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it,” released on Interscope records. Review: The sophomore album from The 1975 is an early contender for most ridiculous album title of the year, but it’s also the year’s most dynamic pop record so far. The band hits ‘80s pop, acoustic singer-songwriter and shoegaze all on one album, and it manages to hold together, thanks to the craft of every song. Favorite song: “Paris” The real reason people write songs: “I got my pen and thought that I’d write A melody and line for you tonight. I think that’s how I make things feel alright.” -from the song “Nana”
As a man with many strong and vibrant women in my life who inspire me daily, I felt sickened to my stomach.
The judge and Sony say Kesha has been free to record without Dr. Luke, a statement Kesha’s lawyer denies, stating Sony wouldn’t support any music she recorded without Dr. Luke, according to reporting by Buzzfeed. Since the ruling, a #FreeKesha movement has taken over social media, with such major artists as Adele and Taylor Swift lending their support. Accepting the word of accused abusers over their victims isn’t restricted to the music or arts worlds only. But it is extraordinarily disheartening to see the American legal system fail another rape and abuse victim who has the courage to come forward. According to statistics from the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, only a 16.3 percent chance exists that a reported rapist will end up in prison. Once unreported rapes are factored in, which account for 61 percent of rapes and sexual assaults, only about 6 percent of rapists — 1 out of 16 — will ever spend a day in jail. In a Feb. 19 article from the women’s activist blog Jezebel, author Madeleine Davies wrote, “It’s likely that ‘commercially reasonable’ will almost always beat out ‘ethically reasonable’ and is certain Reader continues on Page 14

weddings and corporate events that help maintain a steady stream of income. There are the die-hards, though, the people who pop in every couple of weeks to indulge their sweet tooth. Julie Phipps, of Parker, cops to being one of those. When asked how often she stops by Nomelie, Phipps gives a guilty grin and delivers a deliciously vague answer: “More often than I should, probably.”

It didn’t matter to Painter’s son, Wyatt Heiman, where his cupcake came from. For 10 minutes, the rest of the world disappeared and his sole focus was a birthday cake-flavored cupcake he devoured voraciously. He started with a fork and was shoveling fistfuls of cake into his mouth by the end. Community involvement It’s not just a vast selection or unique flavors — like the maple bacon and chai tea varieties baked at Smallcakes in Lone Tree — that keep people coming back. Proper customer service is a must, Sen of Nomelie Cupcakes said, and fresh ingredients make all the difference. Connecting with local schools and organizations has helped Nomelie build bonds and become ingrained in Parker’s social fabric, Sen said. It partners with the PACE Center and wedding venues like Villa Parker, and relies heavily on word of mouth from satisfied customers.

Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix until combined. Fold in pecans and dark chocolate chips. Dip batter into cupcake liners, 2/3 full. Bake for 26 minutes. Test with toothpick or cake tester before removing from the oven. In a stand mixer, beat butter and banana on medium speed until butter is smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar. Add vanilla extract.

Nomelie is also creating a referral network of respected Parker businesses by enabling customers to rate the services, much like users of Lyft and Uber do. When a little boy with severe food allergies stopped in with his mom to ask whether Nomelie made vegan cupcakes, the boy was disappointed with the answer. But Avantika Sen took it as a challenge and made a special shopping trip to get
powdered sugar slowly. When cupcakes are cool, pile the banana butter cream high on top with a pastry bag using a large, round frosting tip. Place frosted cupcakes in refrigerator for 10 minutes until the frosting is slightly stiff. While cupcakes are in the refrigerator, mix the semisweet chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a double boiler. Stir constantly until all the chocolate chips are melted. Place banana chip on top of banana buttercream and drizzle ganache over cupcake. Allow the cupcakes to return to room temperature, and top with a dried banana chip. Source: www.gigiscupcakes usa.com
the ingredients to make vegan cupcakes. “He was very sad and I felt bad for him,” she said, “because he has no choice.” Nomelie not only baked a batch of vegan cupcakes, but made them a regular offering every Friday through Sunday, naming them after the boy — Quinn Cupcakes. They are a hot seller.

to beat ‘morally reasonable.’ Our courts and culture have a hard enough time believing women’s accusations of sexual assault in the most clear-cut of circumstances, so what chance do we have at legal, emotional, and physical protection when details are contested and a corporation stands to lose millions?

We need to support organizations like the Athena Project, a Denver-based nonprofit that works to bring more opportunities to women in all artistic areas. We need to not only listen to victims, but also make sure they are heard and their abusers are held responsible for their actions.

“Night Train” by Chuck Rascoe of Arvada won Best of Show/Color in the 2016 “Eye of the Camera” exhibit at the Littleton Museum. It offers his perspective on the much-photographed Union Station in Denver. Courtesy photo
‘Eye of Camera’ exhibit features photo variety Littleton Museum is home of exhibit for 50th time By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Photographers mingled with viewers at the crowded Feb. 18 opening of the 50th annual “Through the Eye of the Camera” exhibit, presented at the Littleton Museum by the Littleton Fine Arts Board. The late Gene Kramer of Littleton, an original art committee memberand art director for a Denver company, with numerous contacts in the local arts community, proposed the photography exhibit soon after Bemis Library was opened with display space for art — a feature the committee had requested. It has grown in quantity and quality. In 2016, there were 318 entries by 104 artists, according to Curator of Collections Terri White, who said juror Gary Huibregtse selected 56 widely varied images by 41 artists for inclusion in the exhibit, which will be open at the Littleton Museum until March 27. The award for Best of Show/Color went to Chuck Rascoe of Arvada for his “Night Train,” a view of the brightly lit newest platform at Union Station, waiting for the train to arrive, with city lights beyond, framed by the serpentine canopy above
it. Rascoe’s website says he mostly shoots landscapes, but this cityscape is a distinctive look at a frequently photographed part of Denver. Best of Show/Black and White was awarded to Denver-based photographer Steve Hirsch for his “Night Mining,” which pictures the skeletal remains of an old Colorado mine structure against a star-filled sky. He said he shot it near Leadville about 11 p.m. Other awards chosen by the juror: • Best of Show/Darkroom Processing: “Platner Grain Co. Study IV,” by James Sidinger, which depicts a lonely old building in McCook, Nebraska. It looks deserted and sad. • “No Menu” shows the lighted entrance to a restaurant in a row of city town houses, with an inviting front door. By Matthew Lewis, it won First Place/Black and White. • “Weaving Its Way to the Heavens,” shows the pattern created by a woven wood fence, with wide slats. Winn Halverhout created this digital winner of Second Place/Black and White. • First Place/Color was awarded to Gabrial Reising for the chilly “Winter is Light.” It shows a desolate snowy area with a rock outcropping. • David Parks’ “Old Brewery” won Second Place/Color. The corner of an old brick building juts against the blue Colorado sky, with a triangular iron form above it and a tree branch
IF YOU GO “Through the Eye of the Camera” is exhibited through March 27 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. Open during museum hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. 303795-3950. Admission is free.
In 2016, there were 318 entries by 104 artists, of which 56 widely varied images by 41 artists were selected for inclusion in the exhibit. framing it. Nice composition. The juror exhibits two from his image series, “New West, Revisited”: “St. George, Utah #2” and “St George, Utah # 7.” They show mountains in the distance behind a rather dreary cityscape with contemporary business buildings that could be anywhere — a pointed commentary on today’s West.

Guild offers workshops for range of artists Pair of March gatherings will be held in Littleton
Artist Sidney Ann Pitchford, a Highlands Ranch resident, will conduct a March 5 workshop for the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County titled “Colorful Landscapes.” Pitchford recently moved to Colorado from Florida, where she taught, owned an art supply store and exhibited her work. Courtesy photo.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The long-running Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County, organized in 1974, offers Saturday workshops for artists who may have an interest in exploring a new technique or sharing a professional painter’s vision and color sense. Late winter would seem to be an ideal time to learn something new that could be carried into a summer of painting. Two sessions are available in March at Littleton First Presbyterian Church, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton. Reserve space with Beatrice Drury, btdrury@q. com, 303-796-8110. Workshops run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with doors open at 8:30 a.m. Artists 18 and older may attend, with the cost: $30/guild members $50/ nonmembers. (Membership fee is $35.) For complete details, a supply list and registration form, see: heritage-guild.com/current-workshops. The first session will be held on March 5, when Sidney Ann Pitchford will conduct a workshop on “Colorful Landscapes.”
She will emphasize composition as well as how to mix vibrant colors and use value to make paintings stand out. Participants should bring several simple reference photos and 16-by-20-inch or 18-by-24-inch canvases. She will demonstrate in oil paints, but participants are free to use acrylics with a slow-dry medium, if they wish. Pitchford studied art at the University of Evansville and Indiana State University. The second session will be held on March 12, when Lee Wasilik will demonstrate water-soluble paints in “Painting With Water-Miscible Oils.” Newly available on the market, these paints enable artists to achieve the look of oil paintings with the convenience of water-based mixing and cleanup. A graduate of Black Hills State University in South Dakota, Wasilik has worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. The award-winning painter has been president of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild for 14 years. The group hosts spring and fall exhibits at Bemis Library, and exhibits at several local Adventist hospitals and the annual “This is Colorado” show at Arapahoe Community College in the fall. Membership is open to artists at all levels of expertise. The group also holds monthly meetings, with a critique or demonstration and weekly group painting sessions.
Gardening group will hear from lotus expert Colorado’s hot summers should offer right conditions for plant By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kelly Billing from Maryland Aquatic Nurseries will fly into Denver on March 17 to speak to the Colorado Water Garden Society’s first 2016 meeting at Denver Botanic Gardens. She is an expert on lotus plants and will talk about growing them in local home gardens. Billing is also an expert on invasive aquatic plants and will discuss invasive varieties that should not be welcomed
— or should be culled out. To extend that idea further, the group will also hear from Robert Walter of Colorado Parks and Wildlife about invasive plants in Colorado, and what to avoid in your garden. There will be a colorful slideshow of various lotuses and conversation about how to grow them successfully. A brief look online finds that lots of direct sunlight and warmth are needed to grow these exotic flowers. So, Colorado’s hot summers should work well. One can see them at Denver Botanic Gardens and at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, where volunteers from the Colorado Water Garden Society help maintain the water gardens.
IF YOU GO The CWGS “Get Wet — Water Gardening Fun in 2016” meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on March 17 in Mitchell Hall, Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St., Denver. Admission is free since the event is after hours. Open to the public. Park in the parking structure and enter the gate north of the Visitor Center entrance. The program also includes a sampling of lotus-inspired dishes. “Local Asian markets carry lotus tubers, and there are
various ways to prepare and serve them,” said CWGS publicist Jim Arneill of Centennial. (One assumes there will be some reference to the legendary lotus eaters of Homer’s “Odyssey.”) There will also be information about water gardening in general and about upcoming events in 2016. The CWGS was established in 1983 — the first water gardening society in the world. It holds monthly meetings from March to December and welcomes gardeners at all levels of expertise. Dues are $15/individual; $20/family. For further information, please contact Vicki Aber at 303-423-9216, docvicki@ msn.com.

Rock Canyon made 16-of-22 free throws in the final 5:44 of the game to eliminate the Warriors. “They started pressuring us, and the way the game is called now everything is going to be a foul,” said Canyon coach Kent Grams. “It’s not the way basketball should be in my opinion. There’s going to be contact on every dribble. “The defense is going to try to stop you from getting to the paint, trying to stop you from going by, and we’re trying to go Canyon continues on Page 23

Mountain Vista ices trip to hockey semifinals Ralston Valley to face undefeated Monarch in Frozen Four game Staff report Mountain Vista’s hockey team is finally going to play in the Frozen Four. After years of being ousted in either the first round or quarterfinals of the state playoffs, the Golden Eagles beat defending state champion Cherry Creek 4-3 on Feb. 27 at the South Suburban Ice Arena to advance to the semifinals. “This is the first time our program has
made it to the final four,” said coach Kevin Insana. “A lot of the seniors have been on this team for a while, and for four years they have worked hard for it, so I’m happy for them.” Mountain Vista (14-5-0) will play Regis Jesuit (20-1-0) in a 7 p.m. semifinal game March 3 at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland. Ralston Valley (19-2-0) will challenge Monarch (20-0-0) in the first semifinal contest at 5 p.m. The state championship game is set for 1 p.m. March 5 at the Budweiser Events Center. Mountain Vista took a three-game los-
ing streak into the playoffs. The Golden Eagles lost to Denver East 4-2 on Feb. 15 and dropped a 4-3 decision to Regis on Feb. 19 before losing 3-2 to Cherry Creek on Feb. 20. The Golden Eagles opened the playoffs at South Suburban with a 4-3 win over Aspen Feb. 26, and Kaden Stewart’s goal at the 12:14 mark of the third period off assists from Michael Karas and Jordan Cox boosted Vista to the win over Creek and into the semifinals. “It was a phenomenal team effort, and it took everyone to win the game,” said Insana. “It was probably the most com-
plete game we’ve played all year. We had a stretch at the end where we played a lot of top teams, and it got us ready for the playoffs. We’re playing our best hockey right now.” Cherry Creek advanced into the quarterfinals with a 7-0 first-round win over Liberty. Regis played excellent defense in a 10-0 first-round win over Cheyenne Mountain and an 8-0 blanking of Steamboat Springs in two playoff games at Family Sports Arena.

Oh mercy, lopsided scores call for change It’s time to consider a high school basketball mercy rule in Colorado. Lopsided scores have been frequent this season, especially in girls games, and some of those blowout scores were evident in the first two Jim Benton rounds of the girls and boys state playoffs. OVERTIME The Colorado High School Activities Association board of directors has sent out a survey to member schools to determine whether there is interest in establishing a mercy rule. The change would mean a running clock if a team were to get down by a certain number of points, possibly 30 or more, in the second half of a regular-season or playoff game. Early rounds of Class 5A playoff games show there is merit to this idea. The average margin of victory in 16 opening-round girls game was 22.6 points, with 52-, 37- and 33-point wins among the most lopsided. Second-round games were closer with an average victory margin of 20.3 points, but there were two 48-point wins and a 41-point rout. Following a first-round bye, the topranked Highlands Ranch girls opened the 5A playoffs with a 48-point victory. During the season, the Falcons enjoyed victories by scores of 94-28, 88-19 and 90-35, just to name a few blowouts. Victory margins in boys first-round games were tighter with a 16.3 margin of victory. However, there were two 30-point victories. The second-round average victory gap was 15.3 points. In the 4A boys and girls competition, the victory margins were smaller in the first two rounds, but there were a combined six games that were decided by 30 or more points. Valor Christian’s girls won
Valor Christian’s Tess Boade (10) goes up for the jumper as Fort Morgan’s Riley Bauman (24) tries to swat the ball away in the opening round of the Class 4A playoffs Feb. 26. Valor went on to win 85-31 and then took a 68-36 victory over Berthoud to advance to the Great Eight round against Mullen on March 4. Photo by Paul DiSalvo their opener by a 54-point margin — which included a 29-4 lead after the first quarter — over Fort Morgan on Feb. 26. I’m all in favor of anything that can help get these lopsided games over with more quickly. Having top teams pile on the points only adds to the embarrassment for the losing squads, many of which are simply at a major talent disadvantage. Lutheran standout more than scoring leader Kristen Vigil has played basketball at
Lutheran High School in Parker for four seasons, but this is the first time she has led the Lions in scoring. Still, the 5-foot-8 senior, became the school’s career scoring leader when she registered 13 points in Lutheran’s 67-23 win over Jefferson Academy Feb. 25 in a district tournament. Vigil tallied 25 points in a 58-47 triumph over Faith Christian in the district finals Feb. 27 and now has 1,058 points to break the old career scoring mark of 1,031 held by Meshach Rhodes from 1993-97. “Kristen has really evolved as a player throughout her career,” said coach Mark Duitsman. “She has always been an outstanding perimeter shooter, but over the years she has developed the ability to score in many other ways. Her scoring earns her a lot of publicity, but I’ve always thought it’s her on-the-ball defense that makes her a standout basketball player. “It’s amazing how many deflections and steals she gets while also keeping a low foul count. What I’ve been most pleased with this season is how she has taken that aggressiveness to the boards and it is not uncommon for her to lead us in rebounds on any given night.” Graham moving to Grandview Rob Graham, who has been Ponderosa’s head volleyball coach for 16 seasons and compiled a 171-79 record during the past nine campaigns, has accepted the position as the head volleyball coach at Grandview. Graham’s Mustangs won the 4A state championship in 2009, were the state runners-up in 2014 and twice finished third.

from Littleton, where he was a threesport letterman — is the Lions’ new head coach, and he will have former Eaton mentor Jim Danley as his pitching coach. Bote won 459 games and five state championships at Niwot, and has also been an assistant coach at Erie and Faith Christian. Danley compiled an 807-163-2 record with 11 state championships at Eaton as Colorado’s winningest baseball coach, but was ousted last fall for not signing a 13-point improvement plan than was drawn up by the school board. He’s a friend of Bote’s and the two were rival coaches in summer games. Don’t be surprised to see Littleton pitchers start throwing knuckle curves, a pitch Danley had his pitchers use at Eaton. It is really a standard curve thrown with one or more fingers bent to provide a better grip on the ball, which results in a tighter spin and more movement. Littleton teams have gone 46-103 over the past eight seasons, but the Lions were 11-9 in 2015, and seven pitchers from a year ago who saw varsity action were underclassmen.
Dowis takes over at Castle View Scott Dowis, a first-year business teacher at Castle View who coached high school volleyball for eight years in Kansas, was introduced as the new head coach for the Sabercats’ volleyball program.
Spring is here Official spring practice for baseball, girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, girls soccer, boys swimming, girls tennis and boys and girls track began Feb. 29. The first contests can start March 10.

Mountain Vista girls eliminated from playoffs
- Scoring drought costly d in loss to Cherry Creek By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
h
Mountain Vista’s girls basketball team followed its mode of operation of early solid play and late lapses, and unfortunately s saw its season end. Cherry Creek defeated the Golden Eagles 56-44 in a second-round Class 5A state playoff game Feb. 26 in the Bruins’ gym. Mountain Vista, which collected a 68-31 opening-round win over Chatfield, finished the season with a 15-10 record. “The season was a good season,” said Vista coach Mike Willahan. “We finished 15-10, and that’s the third-best record in school history. There were two or three e wins that we could have probably gotten a if we would have had healthy bodies and some balls bouncing our way, but it just didn’t happen. But it was a great season overall.” Mountain Vista held a 19-17 lead over Creek with 3:32 left in the second quarter, but didn’t score the rest of the half. The

ninth straight appearance in the state semifinals. s Ralston Valley whipped Valor Chrisd tian 10-1 in a first-round game, and Tony Salazar’s goal in the second overtime gave the Mustangs a 4-3 win over Resurrection Christian in a quarterfinal matchup at Big Bear North. Ralston Valley won backg to-back state championships in 2013 and 2014. - Shane McGregor’s second-period power-play goal was the only tally for Heritage, which lost 9-1 to undefeated Monarch in the first round. Monarch, which lost to Cherry Creek in three overtimes in the 2015 state championship game, beat Dakota Ridge 5-2 on Feb. 27 at Boulder Valley Ice. Monarch beat Ralston Valley 5-1 on Jan. 26.

by. At the end of day we made free throws. That’s one of those categories that wins and loses games.” Arapahoe trailed 38-35 when the Jaguars’ Isaac Hirsch went to the foul line to shoot two free throws. He made the first but missed the second. Beck was the only Rock Canyon player occupying a slot along the foul lane. He was able to get the rebound and was fouled. Arapahoe’s Jared Johnson was frustrated and slapped the ball down, which hit Beck, who had been knocked to the floor. Johnson was whistled for a technical. Beck canned two free throws, and Sam Masten sank both technical free throws as Rock Canyon’s lead swelled

to 43-35 without time running off the clock. “I just try to go hard as I can on every free throw,” said Beck. “I’ve got a knack for finding the ball and getting it. It’s something we practice. When we can shoot as many free throws as we did, we have a shot to win.” Rock Canyon hit 21-of-28 free throws during the game compared to 7-for-12 for the Warriors.

get the game’s key rebound. “He’s a workhorse,” he said. “He’s a really tough kid. He one of those type of players you don’t ever want to play, but you’re happy he’s on your team.” “They hit shots down the stretch,” said Arapahoe coach Brad Jansen. “We were down three and they came up with an offensive rebound, and then the technical really hurt us. Rock Canyon is just so solid, and when you make a mistake they are going to make you pay for it. That’s what happened.” Rock Canyon (20-14) advanced to a Sweet 16 game March 2 at Doherty. The Great 8 is scheduled for March 5 at the Denver Coliseum. Arapahoe ended its season with a 12-13 record.

30-19 lead. “It was kind of our MO all season,” added Willahan. “We would play well for 28 or 30 minutes and it was just two, three or
four minutes that caught up to us. And it did there against Cherry Creek. “It was a tough loss. I’ve said all you can ask as a coach is the girls play hard, and they did. We were down, and it seemed like we hit a three to try to get back into it and they would come down and get one on the other end.” Chelsea Pearson, a 5-foot-8 senior, led the Golden Eagles with 21 points and scored 19 of the Golden Eagles’ 25 secondhalf points. “These seniors, Chelsea, Molly (McCabe), Kat (Detmer), you can’t ask for three better individuals,” said Willahan. “When I first got here four years ago they came in with me. They are special. They set the standard here at Mountain Vista. “No longer are we a bye on someone’s schedule. When people see Mountain Vista, they know we are going to give them a game. That’s what they’ve done. They have believed in me and believed in our system, they’ve been leaders and it’s sad to see them go.” Pearson led Vista in scoring this season with a 16.7 average while the 6-1 McCabe scored at a 15.4 clip. Detmer was limited to 17 games.
