Xcel drops pursuit of natural gas structure Energy company will be ‘moving forward’ in a new direction By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Xcel Energy has withdrawn its proposal for a natural gas regulator station in Highlands Ranch following public disagreement. “At this time, we are unable to see
a path forward for this segment of the project at the proposed location based on referral agency responses saying they have reservations and/or will oppose it,” Nancy Hibbert, contract agent for Xcel, wrote in a letter to Douglas County principal planner Matt Jakubowski on May 3. Xcel originally planned to install a 12-
inch connection below ground to an existing underground pipeline in the open space behind Saddle Ranch Elementary School, 805 W. English Sparrow Trail, near Wildcat Reserve Parkway and South Broadway. The structure itself would have been 50 feet by 65 feet and less than 100 feet from Saddle Ranch’s playground. The structure would have delivered natural gas to residents in Sterling Ranch, a large community under construction

south of Chatfield Reservoir in northern Douglas County. Following public outcry, Xcel officials led a community meeting at Eastridge Recreation Center on March 10 to elaborate on the project and gather input. Residents who live near the proposed site and have children at Saddle Ranch worried about safety, noise and a negative effect on property values. Xcel continues on Page 7

The Colorado Department of Transportation is hoping toll lanes will improve traffic on a 12.5-mile stretch of C-470 between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard after a three-year construction project set to begin this summer. “The traveling public has asked CDOT to relieve congestion within this critical corridor,” CDOT Project Director Jerome Estes said in a statement. More than 100,000 drivers travel through the segment every day, and CDOT projects volume to increase 40 percent in the next 20 years. Broomfield-based Flatiron Construction Corp. and Los Angelesbased AECOM were announced as the project’s contractors in April. An exact date for the beginning of construction has not been finalized. “We’re still in final stages of negotiation with the contractors,” CDOT spokewoman Linda Wilson said. The project will add two tolled express lanes westbound from I-25 to Colorado Boulevard and one from Colorado to Wadsworth. Eastbound, C-470 continues on Page 7

Colorado has 284 craft breweries and cities like Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder and Longmont have been on the map of craft beer aficionados nationwide for decades now. But after three local breweries took home medals at the Denver International Beer Competition last month, some beer lovers may take a closer look at the south suburbs. Locavore Beer Works and 38 State Brewing Co., both in Littleton, and Living the Dream Brewing Co. in northern Douglas County, near Highlands Ranch, were recognized. “We’ve got good beer coming out of here,” said 38 State co-owner Brett Blazek. “We’ve got award-winning beer.” Breweries continues on Page 6

HELLO
A glimpse of the people in our community
... My Name Is
My background I was born and raised in Colorado. I was previously involved with human nutrition and I was also in ballet for many years. I got into pet nutrition and haven’t looked back. Pet food has deteriorated over the years. With poor nutrition, the animals have poor dental health, heart health — overall health. With better nutrition, dogs and cats live happier lives and they live longer. And, pets are cool.

Citizen volunteers appointed to boards Four Douglas County residents recently appointed to the Building Board of Appeals and the Liquor Licensing Authority are busy plying their knowledge and experience in construction policy and business law. The four citizen volunteers appointed by the county commissioners provide oversight on specific issues and conduct statutorily required actions in agreement with both the county’s building code and liquor licensing code. The Douglas County Building Board of Appeals hears and decides appeals of orders, decisions or determinations made by building officials about applications and interpretations of building code. Rebecca Baker, of Parker, will serve a three-year term and Jim Johnson, of Sedalia, will serve a one-year term as an alternate. Both were reappointed to the board following a prior appointment. The Douglas County Liquor Licensing Authority administers liquor licenses in unincorporated Douglas County. Don Bammes, of Parker, was reappointed to serve as a director, and Michael Boyle, of Castle Rock, was reappointed to serve as an alternate. Both will serve four-year terms.

Construction begins at Arapahoe and I-25 Crews start first phase for bridge reconstruction
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just as making omelets requires breaking eggs, relieving traffic congestion requires creating some gridlock. On May 9, construction crews began erecting concrete barriers, restriping traffic lanes and setting up temporary lighting near the Interstate 25/Arapahoe Road interchange as part of a long-term project to rebuild the intersection’s bridge. For the next several months, various northbound and southbound lanes will be closed and some ramp closures will occur from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays. Eastbound and westbound lanes on Arapahoe Road will also be closed occasionally between Syracuse Way/Spruce Street and Dayton Street from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays. Bob Wilson, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said the project will alleviate congestion at the busy interchange. “This will provide better traffic flow and should be able to eliminate the backups that are notorious from Arapahoe Road onto the highway,” Wilson said. The $66 million project includes adding an additional lane on westbound Arapahoe Road from Yosemite Street to Greenwood Plaza Boulevard and creating three left turn lanes from the I-25 off-ramps. Other aspects of the plan are realigning the frontage road northeast of the interchange, building noise walls near the Arapahoe Road and Yosemite Street intersection and widening Yosemite Street from Yosemite Circle to Xanthia Street. CDOT is footing the largest part of the bill, using $50.4 million in funds from a program called Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships, or RAMP. The remaining cost of the project is being split among Arapahoe County,
Construction crews begin work at the Arapahoe Road/I-25 interchange in Centennial on May 6. The crews will perform preliminary tasks such as re-striping lanes for a few weeks before the larger project of bridge reconstruction begins. Photo by Tom Skelley the cities of Centennial and Greenwood Village, and the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District. Construction will be “substantially completed by summer 2018,” according to CDOT. Dion Wolf, a server at the Gunther Toody’s restaurant at 9220 Arapahoe Road, isn’t excited about the increased congestion the project will bring. “It’s going to slow down our business,” Wolf said. Wolf’s co-worker, Skip Girten, only became aware of the project when he heard Wolf speaking about it. He said he understands it will alleviate traffic in the future, even if it complicates his commute in the present. “I’m not exactly stoked about the traffic it’s going to cause,” Girten said, “but as long as it’s helping with traffic later, I
guess it’s a good thing.” Wilson responded to Wolf’s concerns and said CDOT will use signage and information on its website to make drivers aware of changes to business access. “We will never close off access to local businesses,” Wilson said. “We’re going to do whatever is possible to make people aware of changes to business access.” Sidewalks on the north and south side of Arapahoe Road will occasionally be closed but one route for pedestrians will remain open throughout construction. Business access in the area will be rerouted at times as the frontage road is rerouted but access will be maintained. CDOT advises motorists to take alternate routes and alternative transportation modes such as the light rail and local bus services to minimize the impact of the
lane closures. Wilson also warns motorists to be prepared to slow down. Speed limits on I-25 will be reduced from 65 to 55 mph. “It sounds like a big project,” said Lauren Francis of Centennial. “That worries me. It’s a really busy intersection and it’s already a mess. Now I’m already thinking of other ways around it. I guess I’ll be taking Dry Creek now.” Wilson said he understands that residents aren’t thrilled about the congestion the orange cones and shifting lanes will bring, but he added that projects in busy areas are always a problem. “It’s a balancing act,” Wilson said. “We’re trading short-term pain for longterm gain … There are always going to be some pinch points. It’s the nature of the beast.”

County SWAT team helps catch fugitives Suspects were wanted for attempted homicide Staff report The Douglas County Regional SWAT Team assisted the Denver Police Department in the arrest of two fugitives in the 4900 block of Tarcoola Lane in Highlands Ranch the evening of May 4. The two suspects were wanted for attempted homicide, according to a news release by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. A third suspect was taken into custody on unrelated warrants. The suspects’ names were not released. Before making the arrests, the SWAT
team suited up at the sheriff’s office substation, 9250 Zotos Drive, Highlands Ranch, near Town Center. From about 4:30 to 6 p.m., a green armored vehicle was in the parking lot of the substation and law enforcement personnel could be seen entering and leaving the building with rifles. At about 6 p.m., the armored vehicle left the substation in the direction of the neighborhood where the arrests were made at about 7:30 p.m. The sheriff’s office treated the case as a high-risk arrest and sent out a code red in the immediate area, said Lauren LeKander, social media public information officer. Neighbors were asked to stay inside their homes. No further information was available.

Plane brings pups a brighter future Dog is My Copilot flies more than 75 rescue dogs and cats to Centennial Airport By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Peter Rork, a retired pilot and orthopedic surgeon, pursued an interest in rescue animals after his wife died four years ago. “I lost my appetite for medicine,” he said, “and I had a plane at the time.” He now transports “death row” dogs and cats from unwanted areas by plane every couple of weeks. His flights became so crowded with animal crates that he invested in a larger aircraft. He recently had a record transport. “This is the biggest response we’ve had so far,” Rork said. “It’s the biggest dog flight we’ve flown into Denver.” Rork, of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, flies for Dog is My Copilot, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), Wyoming-based organization committed to flying animals out of areas with unsafe shelters. On May 4, he flew a Cessna 208B with more than 75 cats and dogs from New Mexico and Texas to Centennial Airport. About 50 rescue and shelter volunteers waited with handmade signs, crates, playpens and open arms. Mercedes Cordova, founder of From Forgotten to Forever Rescue and Transport, works with Dog is My Copilot to move shelter animals from Roswell, New Mexico, to Colorado to save them from euthanization. “There’s a 90 percent euthanization rate,” she said. “Most don’t make it. So we transport every couple of weeks.” Cordova, of Colorado Springs, works closely with rescues throughout Colorado. Rescue and foster volunteers, such as Suzanne Lively, admire Cordova’s dedication to animals. “She single-handedly has saved so
For more information on Dog is my Copilot, go to www.dogcopilot.org many dogs,” Lively said. “She’s my hero.” Animal rescues look to Colorado because of the Pet Animal Care Facilities Act, a “licensing and inspection program dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of those animals in pet-care facilities throughout Colorado,” according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture website. PACFA regulates rescue facilities and requires that animals be documented in state records, said Cordova. Jamie Roberson, founder of Denver Dachshunds Rescue and Transport, picked up chiweenies — a dachshund and chihuahua mix — at the latest transport. Her goal is to save dogs from being euthanized and place them in safe homes. “There’s always kids in need,” she said, referring to the rescue dogs. “And Colorado is more animal-friendly.”

Students tell community: ‘Stay on the Trails’

Fourth-graders at Copper Mesa Elementary hand out bracelets for a cause
a first-place scholarship of $5,000. Second place winners Karis Holm, Jack Kane and Samuel Warfield were awarded $2,000 scholarships. Students were judged on academic performance, community service, essay and financial need.
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fourth-graders at Copper Mesa Elementary School are passing out camouflage-colored, elastic bracelets that read “Stay on the Trails” to prevent the shortcuts people take that harm vegetation and habitat. Students came up with the project to address a community issue and demonstrate empathy. “Empathy is putting yourself in other people’s shoes,” student Karli DeLao said. “We thought, ‘How do these animals feel?’ ” The idea started about two months ago when fourth-grader Sadie Nelson’s father, Scott Nelson, who is the open space supervisor for Highlands Ranch Metro District, presented the issue to the class. He works with Copper Mesa students about once a year on an outdoor topic. “They really do all the work,” he said. “I just pointed them in the right direction.” Nelson sees the damage caused by shortcuts. When a hiker strays off an outdoor trail, vegetation gets trampled, causing erosion and habitat damage, he said. “Trails are carefully designed to minimize impact on the environment and create a good experience for trail users,” said Carrie Ward, metro district’s director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space. “Shortcut trails are destructive because they harm habitat for wildlife, plants get trampled, they cause erosion, and they are unsightly.” Angela Cruz’s fourth-grade class decided to take action. They present-

Photo by Alex DeWind ed the “Stay on the Trails” bracelet idea to the school’s principal. Once approved, the class split into five groups, including poster, interview, bracelet-design, website and song committees. Cruz divided students based on personal strengths. Andrew Beck knows how to code so he was placed in the website group. The group’s page — www.trainguy678.wix.com/ ontrail — has hiking tips, photos and a game. Alex Torres plays guitar so was placed in the song group. Members composed lyrics to the Beatle’s “Here Comes the Sun” and recorded a music video, which will go on the website. A large part of the project was fundraising. The class held a garage
sale at the school, at 3501 Poston Parkway, on April 23. Each student donated used toys and books. They raised about $370 — just $20 short of their goal. They used the money to purchase the elastic bracelets, which they will distribute around school in upcoming weeks. Sadie Nelson will also hand out bracelets at the Metro District’s nature camp this summer. Students recognize they are responsible for their actions, they said, and plan to stay off shortcut trails this season. They hope others will do the same. “My biggest challenge is if we can get people to listen to the message,” Torres said, “and really stay on the trails.”
AAUW honors four graduating seniors The Douglas County branch of the American Association of University Women recently honored four graduating senior girls for their academic achievements. These young women excelled in the science, technology, engineering or mathematics programs at their respective schools, and AAUW, a strong advocate in support of the STEM programs, presented a scholarship award to each of them. Scholarship winners were: Leah Dicesare, of Douglas County High School, who plans to study molecular genetics and genomics at Michigan State University; Katie Steward, of Chaparral High School, who will attend University of Colorado, Boulder to study aerospace engineering; Jordan Arnell, of ThunderRidge High School, who hopes to study psychology and international security at the University of Denver or Drake University in Iowa; and Skylar Hellner, of Castle View High School, who plans to study pre-med at the University of Alabama with a goal of becoming a pediatrician. ACC graduation on Saturday Arapahoe Community College will hold its 2016 commencement ceremony on May 14 at Orchard Road Christian Center.

Breweries become part of neighborhood landscape
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jason Bell, co-owner and brewmaster at Living the Dream Brewing Company, often gets asked this question: “Do you see the craft beer bubble bursting?” His answer: “No.” The craze may taper off a bit, but Bell believes his early focus on learning the actual business of craft beer will help Living the Dream navigate any rough patches. According to the Brewers Association, a trade group for beermakers, craft beer’s market share of the total U.S. beer market grew 12.5 percent in 2015 while the number of craft breweries grew 26 percent. The number of breweries in the south metro Denver area has been rising since 2014, with at least 10 now calling the area home. A decrease in relative price may explain some of craft beer’s popularity. “You can make $30,000 a year and still drink craft beer,” Bell said. Steve Schuett, general manager at 38 State, sees breweries replacing neighborhood bars. Many breweries fit the part, with live music, trivia nights, sports on TV and visits from food trucks. When Bell was working in retail liquor sales in the Chicago area during the Great

Locavore won a gold medal in the Imperial and Double IPA category for its Lightning Hopkiss, two silver medals in the American Light Lager and Witbier categories for its Loggerhead and Sugar Magnolia and a bronze in American Pale Ale for 5th Season.

to travel long distances to find new and exciting beers. India pale ales have been king of the mountain in the craft beer world for
several years now, and while other styles may gain in popularity, the IPA is likely to remain dominant, he said. “The next big thing is out there — it just doesn’t have the money to push it,” said Brett Blazek of 38 State Brewing. “How the IPA is now, I don’t know if anything will ever rival it.” IPAs will remain popular, Bell said, but scarcity of hops will tamp down the trend of brewing hoppier, more bitter ales. High demand for hops, a plant used to flavor beer, combined with the drought in the Pacific Northwest —North America’s main hops growing region — have shrunk its availability. “I do think that the days of who can make the biggest, baddest, hoppiest beers are gone,” he said. With the growth of craft breweries, many are becoming fixtures in their towns and neigborhoods. When Jason Reinhardt and Andy Nelson opened Locavore Beer Works in 2014, they picked the location partly due to the surrounding area. “Let’s become the neighborhood brewery,” Reinhardt remembers thinking. At Locavore, the brewing tanks are exposed to the patrons, a purposeful choice. “When you come to a brewery,” Nelson said, “you want to be in a brewery.”
Steve Schuett, general manager at 38 State Brewing, pours a pint of the brewery’s Mile 419.99 Rye pale ale on April 29. Shuett says that breweries are beginning to replace neighborhood bars. and Stubborn Monk, as well as bronze in the Sweet and Milk Stout, Dry Stout and Imperial and Double IPA categories for Helluva Caucasian Stout, Plaid Pants and Hop EM DBL IPA. And DIBC is not some small local competition, as Blazek points out. Competition came from as far away as Hawaii and included some of the biggest names in craft brewing, including Boston Beer Company — better known as Samuel Adams. “Boston Beer Company, two
thousand miles away, decided this was important enough for them to enter,” Blazek said. For Living the Dream co-owner Jason Bell, awards are nice, but making good beer is better. “I would rather have a packed taproom of people who like what we do than a medal,” he said. More exposure of local breweries is better for all of them, Blazek says. “I think it’s healthy competition, but at the end of the day we want everyone to succeed.”
The people behind the beer By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A common theme emerges when talking to Littleton’s beermakers — people who turned a hobby into a business. 38 State Brewing Brett Blazek and his neighbors began making beer with a homebrewing kit. “We just started screwing around in the garage like every other redblooded American who likes beer,” he said. After getting positive reviews from friends, Blazek, Jason Virzi and Mike and Kim Keating opened 38 State Brewing Company in an old auto repair shop along South Broadway two years ago this month, an occasion being marked with a party at the brewery on May 14. Mike Keating, a former electrician and greenhouse manager, works full-time as the head brewer while the others all still have day jobs. Blazek, a middle school history teacher for Jefferson County Public Schools, handles marketing and public relations. “There’s a certain charm to us
homebrewing in a garage and now being professional brewers in a garage,” Blazek said. Locavore Beer Works Jason Reinhardt and Andy Nelson met in 2008 in a homebrewing club and began making beer together. “I was looking for someone to brew with,” said Reinhardt, who had been making his own beer since 1995. They opened their location on South Platte Canyon Road and West Bowles Avenue in November 2014, an approximate midpoint between Reinhardt’s home in Centennial and Nelson’s in Lakewood. Making the leap to opening a brewery was a big decision, but Reinhardt’s frustration with his job as an environmental chemist helped push it along. “I reached that point where there was no job satisfaction,” he said. “It was the right thing in retrospect,” said Nelson, who still works as a pilot for Spirit Airlines. “But it seemed scary at the time.” Living the Dream Living the Dream co-founders Jason Bell and Carrie Knose also have
backgrounds in homebrewing, but both have professional alcohol industry pasts as well. Bell worked as a chef and sommelier in retail liquor sales in the Chicago area; Knose worked in beer quality control. “My wife told me to get a hobby because all I did was work,” Bell said. “I started homebrewing and it kind of blew up from there.” Bell soon figured out he wanted to open a brewery and decided to focus on learning how to sustain such a business. “I immediately started studying the commercial process,” he said. He met Knose, who moved to the area from Reno, through a friend. One of the first things they did was set 10year goals, including having distribution in 35 states. Bell said he picked the south suburbs for a location because it was a good fit for his family, and also because of a lack of competition in the area when Living the Dream opened on Dumont Way, south of C-470, in July 2014. “We just felt like it was an untapped market,” Bell said.

Lawmakers reject plan Xcel for organic pot labeling Some think proposal could have given the wrong idea about marijuana By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press A Colorado proposal to certify organic marijuana has been rejected amid concerns that the labels would imply pot is healthy. The bill rejected in a legislative committee on May 3 would have created a first-of-its-kind label for marijuana that had been produced without pesticides. The proposal failed 4-3 in a Senate committee. Some lawmakers said the labels could wrongly imply that marijuana is harmless. “It will mislead people to thinking marijuana doesn’t have any health effects, that it’s OK,” said Sen. Rollie Health, D-Boulder. “It kind of puts a stamp of approval on it.” The sponsor of the measure scoffed at the suggestion. “Does that label mean there are no health effects? That’s it’s healthy, it’s wholesome?” asked Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I don’t think anyone is going to be under any false illusions.” Other lawmakers worried that the U.S. Department of Agriculture would penalize state agriculture regulators for labeling pot as organic. The bill called for state regulators to come up with the exact rules for getting organic labels. Colorado would have been the first state to regulate organic labels in its pot industry. Consumer confusion over organic marijuana peaked in Colorado last year, when Denver health authorities seized thousands of marijuana plants

from growers suspected of using off-limits chemicals on their plants. Most of the plants were ultimately released, but some were sold with names that suggested the products were natural or organic. Sponsors said that consumers are currently confused about organic marijuana claims. “Cannabis consumers, or tomato consumers, or any product consumer wants to know what goes into what they’re using,” said Ben Gelt of the Denverbased Organic Cannabis Association, an industry group pushing for organic pot standards. Gelt pointed out that chocolate and wine — not exactly health foods — are nonetheless eligible for organic certification. Organic standards are regulated federally, and pot remains illegal at the federal level, meaning there’s nothing stopping commercial pot growers from calling their wares organic.
Xcel and the Highlands Ranch Metro District looked elsewhere after public feedback. At a three-hour community workshop on April 4, Xcel officials asked guests to fill out a public comment form and vote on one of three proposed areas: the original site near Saddle Ranch Elementary, a spot farther north in the open space behind the school or a site

of bridges over the South Platte River and widening of other bridges. The project will cost $318 million, including debt service. It is mostly funded by loans that will be repaid with the tolls collected. The lanes are expected to be complete in the spring of 2019. Wilson said CDOT plans to keep all existing lanes open throughout the project.

Veterans’ mothers honored in Centennial Mother’s Day weekend event had B-17, World War II vets By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com It had been 70 years since Len Estrin had been aboard a B-17 bomber before he began volunteering with Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum last year. “It was a lot of fun,” he said of getting to fly after all those years. “A big thrill.” Estrin served as a ball turret gunner on a B-17, also known as the Flying Fortress, in 1944 and 1945, a position that saw him manning a machine gun on the underside of the massive bomber on missions over Europe. He was initially training to be a pilot after enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Forces out of Chicago. “I got through with primary (flight training) and they said they didn’t need pilots anymore, they needed gunners,” he said. Flight crews were voluntary positions, but he still wanted to fly. “You have a choice,” he was told. “You can be a gunner, a gunner, or a gunner.” Estrin, who lives in Aurora, was among several World War II aviation veterans in attendance at the Wings Over the Rockies Blue Star Weekend at Centennial Airport on Mother’s Day weekend, an event honoring mothers of veterans. The weekend also featured several World War II-era warplanes, including a B-17 bomber, much like the one Estrin flew on, operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. “The Aluminum Overcast,” as EAA’s plane is called, is one of only 10 airworthy B-17s remaining of the more than 12,000 that were built. Unlike Estrin, the plane is not a combat veteran, having been built too late to see service in the war. “It’s just a great weekend,” Wings Over the Rockies spokeswoman Colleen Murphy said. Another veteran in attendance was

The plane is one of only 10 airworthy B-17s left. Photos by Kyle Harding former P-51 Mustang fighter pilot David Wilhelm, one of the few remaining fighter aces from World War II, an honor bestowed among pilots credited with five or more aerial victories. “I think it’s fun to come out here and hear all the noise of those old reciprocal engines,” said Wilhelm, who lives in Denver. “It seems like old times again.” Wilhelm flew over Italy and other parts of southern Europe in 1944, protecting B-17s en route to their targets. He praised the B-17 pilots and crews for their courage, noting that they could not deviate from their flight paths to avoid danger the way their fighter escorts could. Newt Moy of Centennial, who served as a B-17 pilot in the war, returned the compliment, saying the B-17 crews saw the smaller P-51s that protected them as “little friends.”

VOICES
LOCAL
Whole lotta shakin’ can yield results While recently working with a client, I was invited to participate in a planning session with the leadership team. Having worked with this particular client I had met several of the management staff already, but this was really the first session where the CEO would also be actively involved. As the session started, the CEO immediately began to challenge everyone’s thinking. And he did so in a professional manner, but was very direct and almost to the point of intimidating the management team to the point of shutting down their participation. He pushed each one to go deeper and provide the rationale behind their thinking, belief and position. He brought the meeting to a level of intensity that really shook up the room. And then the CEO finally looked around the room and applauded his team for their contributions, thanking them for sticking to their belief systems. He wasn’t challenging them and asking hard questions to try and break them or prove his seniority or dominance, he was simply shaking things up a bit to allow people to challenge their own thinking as well as the thinking and direction that the organization as a whole was headed towards. As we left the room at the end of the day, energy levels were high, confidence was through the roof, pride was abundant and alignment of expectations were achieved. What could have seemed like a meeting driven
by a dominant and ego-driven CEO actually turned out to be a brilliant move to push the team beyond the limits of everyone going along to get along or simply saying “yes” to whatever the CEO said or wanted. This resonated with me as I was watching a baseball game on televiMichael Norton sion the other night. It WINNING was a ho-hum game at best. The score was 0-0 WORDS through the sixth inning. As the cameramen showed the dugouts of both teams throughout the game, it appeared as though everyone was bored including the players and the managers. Even the crowd in the stadium looked like they would have rather been somewhere else. And then all of a sudden one of the managers started yelling something from the dugout at one of the umpires. It seemed to be about nothing and at first looked like it was just going to blow over and the game would go on. And then the coach left the dugout and angrily approached the umpire. You didn’t have to be a professional lip reader to know what he was saying and the body language was equally as
aggressive. And, as you can imagine, the manager was ejected from the game. He started an argument over nothing and got himself tossed out of the game. But what he did was shake up and wake up his team. They went on to score a few runs that inning, the opposing team scored a few runs in their turn at bat, the crowd got back into the game, and excitement and energy seemed to be renewed. What is going on in our own lives personally or professionally where maybe we have become a little stale, a little too routine or complacent? Is there something that we can do to challenge ourselves and those around us to go deeper? Is there someone or something that needs a little shake-up and wake-up in our lives? Have we surrounded ourselves with “yes” men and women who only tell us what we want to hear? And if so, how can we ever grow or expect to progress? How about you, is it time to shake things up a bit in some way or in some area of your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can shake things up and wake up a little bit, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Study the impacts of fracking proposals With the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision preserving responsible energy development in the state, fringe activists will attempt one final Hail Mary aimed at amending the Colorado Constitution. Backers of four measures targeting oil and gas development in Colorado have begun collecting the 100,000 signatures necessary for them to appear on the November ballot. If successful, they would essentially eventuate with a patchwork of local regulations that would, in effect, ban fracking, undermine property rights and destabilize Colorado’s business environment. The claim is made that the backers are simply local citizens, merely concerned with protecting their communities. But in reality, their activities are being pushed by out-ofstate interests with an agenda quite unlike the citizens of Colorado who welcome the economic boom the oil and gas industry fuels in our state. Our three organizations, by strong contrast, are deeply rooted in Colorado. We are both local and statewide. Together we represent thousands of the great companies in Colorado who do business across the breadth of the Centennial State. We stand with Vital for Colorado in support of a collaborative, responsive and transparent regulatory system managed at the state level, not the confounding, contradictory one envisioned by some unseen special interest. While the proposed ballot measures are
written to appear reasonable, we wish to be clear: They are de facto bans on fracking. For example, Initiative GUEST 40 would grant unprecedented power to local govCOLUMN ernments to ban outright any business or industry they don’t like, regardless of state, federal or international law. Initiative 63 is written so broadly that it would potentially empower nearly anyone to drag another into court over an alleged crime against the environment. Initiative 75 would further politicize the oil and gas industry by granting local governments broad new regulatory powers that could imperil tens of thousands of jobs in a heartbeat. Initiative 78 would require oil and gas operators to create an incredible buffer zone (called a setback) of at least a half-mile from things like “open space” areas and intermittent streams. When you consider the lay of the land in some parts of the state it is clear that would mean a ban on fracking. These initiatives are best seen as blunt instruments aimed at hurting a vital Colorado industry. There is a better way. For starters, we need to let the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission continue implementing the recommendations made recently by the governor’s oil and gas task

force. The recommendations are the capstone of a great deal of bipartisan work done by members of the environmental community, elected officials and the oil and gas industry. Let’s give them a chance to work before considering additional changes. As the signature-gathering efforts move forward, we encourage readers to consider the impact these measures could have on Colorado, including the loss of: billions of dollars in economic activity, hundreds of millions in tax revenues and tens of thousands of jobs. We believe the best way to achieve economic prosperity and environmental conservation is through dialogue, collaboration and cooperation, as we’ve seen with the governor’s task force. Let’s work together to see that we continue this strong partnership.

I counted. I had plenty of time — two hours — to count. Waiting for my flight at the San Francisco airport, I decided to count the number of people walking by me who were on the phone. My survey was Craig Marshall Smith limited to 100 adult QUIET types. It included DESPERATION travelers, pilots, flight attendants, security, housekeeping, shoe clerks and others. One was talking so loudly that I said, “If you talk any louder you won’t need a phone.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
She was talking too loudly to hear me. Another one ran smack dab into a floor to ceiling window, and kept right on talking. A woman bumped into me, did a waltz step spin and went — without apologizing — in the opposite direction, like Roy Riegels. Roy “Wrong Way” Riegels ran the wrong way with a fumble in the 1929 Rose Bowl. The number of people I counted who were on phones, talking or texting, may surprise you. In 2016, we are monkey see, monkey do. People follow like sheep. Lemmings to the cliff. Oblivious otters making calls instead of making eye contact. Myopic, self-absorbed, rude, inattentive, head-down pigeons, tapping away. (I wonder if babies born 100 years from now will have a downward tilt to the head at birth.)
Student applies learning to real life Grace Davis is concerned that so many great teachers have left and are leaving the district. Last week, Marsha Jaroch wondered if teachers were responsible for the protest, and I would say yes they were. A teacher, or several teachers, have taught Miss. Davis to stand for what she believes in, to act with integrity, and to use her education to make the world a better place...to learn today and lead tomorrow. I’m sure the teachers at her school taught her the 4 C’s, and I can clearly see she used three of them. She communicated her concern with others, collaborated with students to plan the protest, and

Return school district to its former prominence As I prepare to retire from teaching after 25 years in the Douglas County School District, it saddens me to see what has become of a district that was once the envy of the state. A casual examination of a recent issue of this newspaper confirms the depths to which the district has sunk. In one story, a lawsuit is challenging the latest permutation of DCSD’s voucher plan. In another, DCSD is about to become the only district in the state to arm school security personnel with semi-automatic long rifles. Another story says two school board members will be investigated after showing up unannounced at Ponderosa High School and subjecting a 15-year-old student to 90 minutes of intimidation — with no parent present — designed to pressure her to call off a scheduled student protest. In another story, DCSD has agreed to return over $2 million in state funding as a result of failing to schedule adequate
instructional time for all full-time students during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. Finally, a host of letters to the editor express outrage over DCSD policies and the actions of board members, and call for the resignation of two Rick Young board members. I remember a time GUEST when the Douglas County School District COLUMN never graced the pages of this newspaper other than for mundane developments such as district growth, school calendars, the opening of new schools and high school athletics. This was a time when the school board and central administration of this district
focused not on ideological crusades but on providing a solid education to the youth of this county. This was a time when teachers and administrators were eager to come to Douglas County and happy to spend their careers here. This was a time when this district amassed an invaluable pool of talented, experienced professionals who were dedicated to educating our children. DCSD test scores and graduation rates regularly topped state rankings. All that began to change after 2009 when a new school board pursued a new and controversial direction. Under Superintendent Liz Fagen’s administration, the district has implemented a “pay-for-performance” system that totally devalues experience and educational attainment and creates a caste system that values teachers of certain grades and subjects more highly than others. DCSD also put in place a new evaluation system that both ties the hands of administrators seeking to evaluate their

critically thought of the best way to get her message out to help inspire change. What Miss Davis did is what the district likes to call an authentic application of her learning. She took action to draw an awareness to a situation she felt was not right. She truly represents the 21st Century student that this district is wanting of all our students. So let’s not blame the union or the teachers for what Miss Davis did, let’s celebrate this as evidence that she has had highly qualified teachers who have taught her how to think critically and empowered her to be an agent of change. We all should be thrilled to see students taking action, following their heart and using their education to make a change in the world, or in this case, in our district. Neal Clark Highlands Ranch
Someone said, “An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.” And this. “The silent man is the best to listen to.” It’s a Japanese proverb. The ubiquity of phoning and texting in public is normal now. When was the last time that you saw a teenager without a phone in her hand? Failure for a teenager to phone or text leads to rumors, snickering, bullying and shaming. If I were to meet a woman whose existence strategies were not enabled by a mobile phone, I might ask for a short engagement. When I see someone on a phone coming toward me, I just stop and stand in the quiet desperation of hope

that they will eventually notice me and veer. I am convinced that some of them are not making calls at all. And that they are pretending to make calls. To look cool. I was the only one in an elevator once who wasn’t on the phone, so I started to talk to a ham sandwich. “Hello. It’s me. Please come over tonight. With a shovel. Don’t ask questions.” A woman said, “Are you out of your mind?” “Cracked, but as William Blake said, ‘That’s how the light gets in.’” “I thought it was Leonard Cohen,” she said. “He took it from Blake.” I am rarely around as many people as I am when I am in an airport. It’s highly fascinating, but it does little to make me want more of it. Perhaps if I traveled more often, I would become less observant, and less judgmental.
teachers and encourages teachers to spend endless hours uploading documentation rather than engaging in productive pursuits like lesson planning, grading or communicating with parents. At the same time, the district has overwhelmed teachers with a steady stream of directives governing lesson planning, instruction and assessment. When teachers are required to mind their EUs and EQs, their WCOs and their GVCs, with every single lesson and assessment, education becomes stilted and lifeless, and educators face endless frustration. These district initiatives have sparked the exodus of some of the best teachers and administrators in the state, who have left DCSD and taken their talents and experience to neighboring districts. Or, like me, they are unwilling to start over in another district, so they retire. The result: schools founder, and students face frustrated and at Young continues on Page 14
When I do go out among the English, I am always dumbfounded by the ability of others to move around so efficiently, and so blindly. I think boom boxes were the start of it all. Remember? People got on buses with boom boxes. There was something called “boom box rage.” Now we have pods in our ears, shutting others out. Of the 100 adult types at the airport in San Francisco, 72 were on the phone. I picked up my suitcase at DIA and walked to the parking garage. No one was nearby. No one was on the phone. It was silent. I decided not to listen to music on the way home. I decided to listen to nothing. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

‘More than their mortgage’ Parents re-evaulate options as they struggle to afford rising child care costs By Mike DiFerdinando | mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com
J
an Wilusz is an occupational therapist and has four young children, twin 7-year-old boys and two girls, ages 6 and 3. “I can’t afford to work,” Wilusz said. “I want to work. I love my career, but it would cost me more to work and put the kids in child care than it does for me to stay home with them.” Wilusz, who lives in Highlands Ranch, estimates day care for the four children would cost $1,600 to $1,800 per month — all day for the youngest and after school for the older ones. “I looked for three years for a place,” Wilusz said, before deciding the expense wasn’t worth it. Wilusz’s struggle to find affordable child care is a familiar one as the cost of child care climbs due to the increased cost of supplies, insurance and need for longer and more flexible care times for working parents. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 48 percent of working parents with at least one child younger than 6 say their children attend day care or preschool, while 45 percent say their kids are cared for by a family member when the parents are at work, and 16 percent rely on a nanny or babysitter. In Colorado, a married couple can expect infant center-based care costs to exceed 15 percent of their income. With two children, the figure rises to more than 26 percent, according to “Parents and the High Cost of Child Care: 2015 Report by Child Care Aware of America.” The average single parent pays more than 46 percent of his or her income for infant center-based care, according to the report. “For a lot of parents, by the time you add up the cost of food, insurance, child care and a mortgagee,” Wilusz said, “there isn’t anything left.”
COST OF CHILD CARE FOR COLORADO FAMILIES Annual cost of infant care: Center: $13,154 Home: $8,862 Annual cost of care for an infant and a 4-year-old: Center: $23,036 Home: $17,054 Infant cost in center vs. public college tuition in 2015: $13,154 vs. $9,487 Source: “Parents and the High Cost of Child Care: 2015 Report by Child Care Aware of America”
More than a mortgage payment In Colorado, the average annual cost of infant care is $13,154 at a child-care center and $8,862 at a home-care facility. A child-care center is a facility that is run out of a business location and typically has a larger staff and the ability to accommodate more children, while a home-care facility is run out of a home and generally has a smaller number of children. Both are licensed and regulated by the state. “It’s a big challenge for households in Colorado,” said Kantryn Harris, president of the Qualistar Colorado nonprofit organization that focuses on early education. “In some cases, people are spending up to 30 percent of their income on child care. For some, it’s more than their mortgage payment.” The increase in cost for child care is in
“
I think if work places could do more in the way of either helping with the cost or providing more on-site care, it would go a long way for people.” — Jan Wilusz, occupational therapist and mother of four who doesn’t work outside the home because of the high expense of day care
part the result of the need for additional staffing and longer, more flexible hours of operation to accommodate working parents, Harris said. Higher expenses for providers Amber Spear runs a home day care in Highlands Ranch. She said she tries to keep her prices lower than the big centers, but it’s a challenge. She has been in the business for 15 years. “I have to watch twice as many kids as I did 10 years ago to earn the same amount of money and keep my prices competitive,” Spear said. Spear can accommodate up to eight children per day and charges between $50 and $60 per day, depending on whether the child is potty trained. “The day care centers are not (raising prices on) people because they want to make more money,” Spear said. “Their costs and margins are not the same as they have been in the past.” Paula Williams, owner of Paula’s Precious Pumpkins home day care in Highlands Ranch, blames much of the rise in prices on the higher cost of licensing. “Child care these days is so different from child care 25 years ago,” she said. “It is much more regulated by the state —

She said she has invested heavily in her business, including buying special liability insurance specific to child care. And with the expectation that children should also be receiving the necessary educational enrichment before entering kindergarten, the costs for the right toys and supplies also contributes to higher expenses.

‘Pomp and Circumstance’ has worn out its welcome People will pull a Tevye from “Fiddler on the Roof” and shout “Tradition!” but “Pomp and Circumstance” has got to go. In the 115 years since Edward Elgar composed the march for the coronation of England’s King Edward VII, hasn’t there been another piece of music we can use in lieu of “Pomp’s” repetitious monotony? As a student or parent, Elgar’s march is one you’ll hear perhaps twice as a student at high Clarke Reader school and college graduations, and a LINER few more times as NOTES a parent, depending on how many children you have. But even then, I’m not sure anyone actually hears the tune: Students are focused on not tripping down stairs and too excited to concentrate; parents are too busy jockeying for a prime photo position or quietly sobbing into their Kleenex. But what about the teachers, who listen to it year after year? The band students who actively produce the music?
Costs Continued from Page 12
Stogsdill, for instance, brings in music teachers and other area-specific instructors. “As the cost of living goes up, so does ours,” Williams said. “The expense for the supplies, time and necessary art supplies to teach the children all they need to know before entering kindergarten is not cheap.” Affordability for parents But finding day care they can comfortably pay for is a constant battle for parents. A majority of parents with one or more children younger than 6 say it is very hard (29 percent) or somewhat hard (33 percent) to find affordable, high-quality child care in their community, according to the Pew study. And among parents in families in which both mother and father work full-time, 67 percent say it’s hard to find affordable, high-quality day care where they live.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Beyoncé’s “Lemonade,” released on Columbia/Parkwood records. Review: Queen Bey returns after three years of relative quiet with her most fiery, cohesive and personal album to date. Ostensibly an album about a relationship on the rocks, Beyoncé uses R&B, rock, country and funk to
And journalists — like me — who cover three or more graduations in a week? It’s time for a change. Even “Pomp’s” composer would agree. “I’ve a got a tune that will knock ‘em — knock ‘em flat,” Elgar wrote while working on the piece, according to a June 2015 article by The Guardian, one of England’s oldest newspapers. “Pomp and Circumstance” didn’t become associated with graduations until 1905, a May 2003 story on NPR reports, when it was played as a recessional as Elgar received an honorary doctorate from Yale. The work became a reliable source of income for Elgar, but “he came to tire of its jingoism and the fact it overshadowed everything else he wrote,” according to The Guardian. Lee-Anne Strickoff of Parker, who has two young children, ages 4 and 9, knows that first-hand. As a working mother, she has often done whatever it takes to make arrangements for child care. “Fortunately, for our young family, I was able to work a lot of nights and weekends and relied on the figure-it-out method as needed in-between,” Strickoff said, who works in real estate. “I begged friends and used drop-in day care facilities across town depending on where I needed to work that day. Those run from $7 to $9 per kid, per hour— $2 extra if the kiddo is in diapers.” Strickoff finds the situation particularly frustrating because in New Zealand, where she’s from, the government provides 20 hours of free child care to families to subsidize early education. “It has been a bit of a struggle for us to find child care in the past 10 years,” she said. “It would have been nice to have help in getting formative-year education at a subsidy ... whether or not there were two working parents in the house. I cannot imagine how single parents do it. It is such a financial burden.”
I have to watch twice as many kids as I did 10 years ago to earn the same amount of money and keep my prices competitive.”

explore her identity and relationship to the world. An introspective, inspiring and invigorating masterwork. Favorite song: “All Night” Best song to soundtrack a truly epic argument: “Don’t Hurt Yourself”
I sympathize. Options are endless for a song to replace “Pomp and Circumstance.” And let’s not be afraid to have some fun with the challenge. Does the replacement need to have a repetitive melody that can be played over and over on a loop? How about Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue?” Or the classic rock staple “Smoke on the Water?” Imagine watching students try to navigate a choreographed number in their robes? There’s also always the option to include a little sense of humor. Walking down the aisle to ‘90s R&B star Mark Morrison’s smash “Return of the Mack” would do everyone about to sit through an hours-long ceremony some serious good. Certainly AC/DC’s classic “Highway to Hell” would provide much-needed belly
laughs before settling in for an emotional ceremony. For my money, the best replacement would be Bob Dylan’s incendiary “Like A Rolling Stone,” because it asks an important question: How does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown. Every graduate must come to grips with reality on some level as their high school career ends. It’s simply inconceivable that Elgar’s song hasn’t been topped since he wrote it. Nor do I believe “Pomp and Circumstance” was supposed to be the graduation song for the rest of time. After all, life is about moving forward and embracing change. Graduates are doing it. Why can’t we? Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he congratulates all graduates, their friends and family on making it through “Pomp and Circumstance” at their ceremonies. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share the song you’d replace “Pomp and Circumstance” with at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Sculptures add to charm at botanic gardens Minneapolis pieces on loan until early October
IF YOU GO “Stories in Sculpture” runs through Oct. 2 at the Denver Botanic Gardens at 10th Avenue and York Street. Included with gardens admission. Tours (extra charge) are on select Thursdays with a curator at 9:30 a.m.; Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with trained docents at 9:30 a.m.; 6 p.m. Saturdays; plus drawing and photography tours, family art workshops, garden camp and more. For reservations, see botanicgardens.org.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some were frosted with a bit of snow as the preview of “Stories in Sculpture” began on April 28 at Denver Botanic Gardens/York Street. While the Walker Art Center’s Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis undergoes some remodeling, 13 large works by major 20th-century sculptors are on loan to DBG through Oct. 2 and curator Siri Engberg was in Denver to introduce them. CEO Brian Vogt spoke of celebrating his ninth year at the helm of DBG with a sculpture exhibit. He and director of exhibitions Lisa Eldred were in Minnesota for a conference and met with the director and curator there to explore possibilities of an exchange. The selection of works in bronze, steel, stone, copper and aluminum is based on individual approaches to the human figure, Engberg said. Placed amidst growing, blooming plants, the look will change fast the seasons progress. Some are reflected in surrounding water, while polished surfaces on others reflect floral color. Included are sculptures by Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, George Segal, Saul Baizerman, Deborah Butterfield, Barry Flanagan and Judith Shea. As one enters the botanic gardens, Reuben Nakian’s dark bronze “Goddess With the Golden Thighs” is the first piece to meet the eye, suggestive of Greek mythology in an abstract kind of way. Nakian, known for his mythological references, is widely collected by museums around the world, as are all the other

Louise Nevelson’s monumental work, “Dawn Tree” shows her work as an Abstract Expressionist.

also classically referenced, is polished copper — and a more abstracted figure. Devout Italian Catholic Giacomo Manzu’s bronze, “La Grande Chiave (The Large Key)” is topped by two little bishops facing opposite directions. It seems a bit like meeting an old friend to find Deborah Butterfield’s “Woodrow” settled in a flower bed. Last summer’s exhibit filled the botanic gardens with Butterfield’s unique largerthan-life horse figures. This is the first one she cast in bronze, Engberg said, and Walker personnel helped her work out the technique for converting her wood pieces to bronze. The final piece on our tour is George Segal’s lifelike “Walking Man,” which called for the model to be covered in plaster to make a mold, which was then cast in bronze, showing ears, nose and wrinkles in clothing. What’s his story?, one wonders, as he seems to be walking toward you out of the garden. This is an ideal show to take children to. They can learn to follow a map, hunt and identify art — and appreciate the many ways artists can represent the human figure in its infinite variations.

Event at ACC raises money, honors alumni Foundation luncheon held on campus in Littleton
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Summit Room at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton was festive and filled with conversation as college and community people gathered to celebrate “Promoting the Power of Education” at the annual spring fundraising luncheon, hosted by the ACC Foundation. Scholarship-winning students were seated with faculty, foundation board members and local supporters at tables decorated with small student artworks — paintings and ceramics. ACC Foundation Board Chair Marty Post and ACC President Dr. Diana Doyle welcomed the crowd. Doyle spoke about her “mostly positive” interactions with students on all three busy campuses; Littleton, Castle Rock and Parker. She mentioned an enthusiastic graduating student who said “I just wish the faculty would follow me to Metro next year!” Doyle introduced neonatologist Dr. Jane Scott and presented her with the Distinguished Alumni Award for 2016. There will be a $1,000 scholarship given in her name in the future. Scott told of an exciting youth in Kenya

Courtesy photo and elsewhere as her father moved the family “from continent to continent. Sometimes I was in school, sometimes not.” High school was in Ireland, then Tasmania — eventually, she arrived at ACC, followed by medical school (where they questioned her ability). She had married a geologist and traveled through deserts in Africa, where she exchanged language skills with a young woman, English for Afrikaans. “We moved
to Littleton and I came to ACC, with no transcripts, no plan and a fourth child on the way.” She talked with a chemistry professor, thinking she couldn’t do anything, and he called the dean at the University of Colorado medical school who said, “What’s the problem? Take the MCAT!” Two years later she began a 10-year medical school education. “You gave me a second chance — you’re very special,” she concluded.
Keynote speaker was Kelley Johnson, an ACC alumna who is a nurse and Miss Colorado 2015 (second runner-up to Miss America 2016.) Through participating in Miss Colorado and Miss America pageants, the beautiful, 6-foot-tall blond Johnson won $30,000 in scholarship money for her education. She began her college study at ACC and graduated with honors from nursing school at Grandview University in Des Moines, Iowa. She has been accepted into a doctoral program in nursing at CU next fall. She received a Promoting the Power of Education Award. In her competition speech for the Miss America pageant, she talked about nursing as a profession (not the usual sort of topic, but judges liked it) — and has continued to speak on that subject in national television appearances and other engagements. She volunteers at Children’s Hospital and elsewhere locally. The program distributed at the luncheon lists 129 scholarship recipients in many categories. Courtney Loehfelm, foundation executive director, said the total value of scholarships amounts to $225,525 for the 2015-2016 academic year. Included is a Writers Studio scholarship of $500, for example, received by Alejandro Lucero. Graduation follows soon and the college will move into summer mode as students begin to line up courses — and scholarship help — for the 2016-2017 year.

ThunderRidge edges rival Grizzlies defeat Mountain Vista, lose to Regis Jesuit By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge got a break against Mountain Vista and capitalized. The Grizzlies didn’t have the same fortune two afternoons later against Regis Jesuit. In a Continental League matchup between neighborhood rivals Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge on May 3, the Grizzlies garnered a 1-0 victory on a goal that was mishandled by the Golden Eagles’ keeper. On May 5 with the league title on the line, Regis Jesuit scored twice in the final 4:46, with one goal coming on a penalty kick, and ThunderRidge was handed a 2-1 loss that knocked the Grizzlies out of a chance to tie for the league title. “It didn’t drop our way but we have to be resilient,” ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith said after the loss to Regis. “We’re a team that can be moving in the playoffs.” The lone goal in ThunderRidge’s win over Mountain Vista came in the first half on an indirect free kick by sophomore Maddie Duren. The ball bounced and appeared to
be caught by Mountain Vista keeper Kylee Love. However, Love didn’t control the ball and it slipped past her and beyond the goal line. Duren’s sister and team captain Kylee, a senior, didn’t leave any doubt and kicked the ball farther into the goal. “I thought she caught it,” Maddie Duren said. “I started walking back like it wasn’t in then everybody started cheering. I didn’t think it was going to go in.” Kylee Duren made sure. “Sometimes the referees can’t decide so I put it back in,” she said. “All four years I’ve played Mountain Vista this is the first year we’ve won. It’s a great feeling.” ThunderRidge is now 2-4-2 against Vista in the past eight soccer games between the rivals. “Mountain Vista is the biggest rivalry for us,” Smith said. “Ranch is a rivalry, Rock Canyon is a rivalry, but there’s nothing like Mountain Vista for soccer. “It was unlucky for Mountain Vista, the mishandling of the ball but we knew we were strong defensively and that was our key to play strong defensively, move the ball and get our opportunities, and we had a couple.” Vista had three good chances to score early in the second half but
didn’t capitalize. “We just didn’t get it in,” Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer said. “Sometimes that happens. You have to capitalize on your opportunities. Unfortunately we didn’t put one in the back of their net. Credit to them for getting the win.” Midfielder Sanela Hodzic, who was celebrating her 18th birthday, put ThunderRidge ahead 1-0 with a goal only 3:18 into the game against Regis, and it appeared the Grizzlies’ defense would hold for the win. However, a foul in the penalty box was called with 4:46 remaining in the game and Sydney Pulver scored on the penalty kick to tie the score. Mia Albery won the game when she headed a corner kick into the goal with 1:58 showing on the clock. ThunderRidge, which beat Ponderosa 4-1 on May 6, finished the regular season with an 11-3-1 record. The Grizzlies were seeded fourth in the 32-team Class 5A playoffs and were scheduled to face Boulder in a May 10 opening-round game. Second-round matches are scheduled for May 13. Mountain Vista lost 2-1 to Castle View May 5 and took an 11-3-1 overall record and a No. 6 seed into its first-round playoff game against Fossil Ridge.
