Hospital planned for Highlands Ranch 33-acre medical campus projected to open in 2018 Staff report A medical campus that includes a hospital is planned for the C-470 and Lucent Boulevard area of Highlands Ranch. The addition will mean excellent health and wellness services in the community, said Terry Nolan, general manager of the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “The hospital will attract other businesses, which will also
be good for the community,” he said. UCHealth plans to open the $315 million, 33-acre facility in 2018. The medical campus will be part of the mixed-use development north of Highlands Ranch Parkway and east of Lucent called Central Park. The project also will include stores, restaurants, homes and a park. The hospital will be the first in Highlands Ranch to serve the general population and will be located near the Children’s Hospital South Campus. The hospital’s service area will
extend past Highlands Ranch and into other areas of Douglas County, said Justin Vaughn, chairman of the board of directors for the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. “We certainly look forward to their contribution,” he said. “This will be a good boost for the community.” The six-story hospital will have 72 inpatient beds, an emergency room, intensive care unit, operating rooms and advanced cardiac services, according to Hospital continues on Page 6

A group of parents watches the soccer game playing out on the field, yelling to their players from the sidelines: “Caliente! Caliente!” Hot. Hot. “Come on, buddy.” “Pasa.” Pass. “Nice work out there.” The team of 16 boys and one girl finish with a win, one more notch in a victorious season. But the real story goes beyond the game: This team is a melting pot of race, age and culture united by a love for soccer. Ron Miner, the Highlands Ranch coach, had a vision when he brought Storm U14 together last summer. “It was very segregated at first,” he said, “but as we started to practice more Soccer continues on Page 17
Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen’s decision to leave Colorado to take the same position in Humble, Texas, a district of 39,000 students outside Houston, has sparked communitywide discussion about her legacy and who will replace her. Fagen, hired by the Douglas County school board in 2010, said in a May 24 email to district staff that she expects to leave by mid-July. There has been a mixed reaction to her Fagen appointment in Humble. A change.org petition protesting her hiring received 2,000 signatures online as of May 26. Meanwhile, parents and community Fagen continues on Page 5

Area residents file federal lawsuit against CDOT, alleging that noise data is flawed
HARLAN STRITCHKO Manager of the Highlands Ranch Mansion
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
About me I’m originally from southeastern Wisconsin. I moved to Highlands Ranch with my family in 2001 while employed with the YMCA. I worked in sales for several years with United Parcel Service before joining the Highlands Ranch Metro District staff in 2012. My job Each day is different. As a member of a small departmental staff, we tend to multiple functions throughout each day. Some days we are focused on facility maintenance and repair; other days it’s sales-and-event planning. Others might involve working with volunteers or staff throughout the Highlands Ranch Metro District. Besides the site, the variety of tasks is what makes the work so rewarding. What I do for fun Raising five children in Highlands Ranch has proven to be everything we expected. The Douglas County School District is exceptional and all of my kids have been involved with a variety of educational and athletic programs from K-12. The Highlands Ranch Community Association has wonderful recreational facilities that we use year-round. However, I very much enjoy Colorado’s vast offering of world-class fly-fishing! Discovering the mansion The Highlands Ranch Mansion, though
Harlan Stritchko, manager of the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Courtesy photo huge in size and vast in history, is still not well known to some. So many visitors, on a daily basis, report that they had “no idea we were here.” Our staff and volunteers are discovering new facts about our past owners and facility daily. It is a great place to work and spend the day — keeping up the rustic elegance and sharing our house with the entire world.

A group of Highlands Ranch residents has filed a lawsuit to stop the planned expansion of C-470 between I-25 and Kipling Avenue, claiming the Federal Highway Administration and the Colorado Department of Transportation used flawed traffic noise data in the approval process. Highlands Ranch Neighborhood Coalition filed the suit in federal court against CDOT on May 12, also naming CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhat and FHWA Colorado Division Administrator Joh Cater. Coalition president Carter Sales said CDOT did not do long-term noise sampling to validate its computer noise models during the public comment period last year, only conducting short-term sampling instead. “In their own written guidelines, short-term and long-term are required,” Sales said. The lawsuit alleges that two longterm samples were collected after the public comment period ended, violating the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 by failing to allow public comment on the new data.
“They tried to do a quick fix,” Sales said. The lawsuit challenges the FWHA’s Finding of No Significant Impact for the project as well. It asks the court to stop work on the project until the issues are addressed. “We’re saying that CDOT and FWHA have not taken our challenge to heart and we want a judge to decide,” Sales said. Bhatt, Cater and CDOT were served with summons on May 13. As of May 25, no one had answered the complaint. CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said that sound walls would be ineffective for the stretch of C-470 between Quebec Boulevard and Broadway because the homes in question are further away from the highway. “We feel very strongly that we followed the process laid out by the Federal Highway Administration,” she said. The C-470 expansion project, scheduled to begin this summer and be completed in 2019, will add toll lanes between I-25 and Wadswoth Boulevard as well as auxiliary lanes in selected locations, interchange and bridge improvements and curve realignment. The project will cost $276 million, or $318 million including financing. It is being paid for with a loan that will be paid back with future toll lane revenue.

‘Seek excellence in all endeavors’ Valor Christian students honored for accomplishments, encouraged to serve By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The intimate commencement ceremony began with an opening prayer in Cherry Hills Community Church. “Let us cherish the times that we have had here and never forget what we have learned,” said Chaplain Katie McTavish. The Valor Christian class of 2016 on May 27 sat front and center of the church, which radiated school spirit with rich hues of blue and Valor décor. The following graduates were recognized for their outstanding ac-
complishments in high school: Samantha Snellings and Benjamin Rocklin were honored with a 2016 Excellence Award. Katie McTavish and Vito Marchino received the Excellence in Spiritual Character Award. Athletes Brooke Stenstrom and Ben Waters were given the Excellence in Athletic Distinction Award. Caitlyn Koerner and Michael Mount were honored with the Excellence in Artistic Expression Award. Christine Jaeger and Josh Fernalld received “The Least of These” awards for their service. Erica Vossen and Booker Shelhaas received the Eagle Award, which recognizes students who are the vision of a Valor Christian graduate. Academic Dean Rebecca Thomas welcomed valedictorian Benjamin Rocklin to the stage. “He is the type of student that every teacher would want to have in their classroom,” she said.

Rocklin opened his speech with a special thanks to Valor Christian staff and board members. He thanked his teachers for their “amazing friendships and support,” his friends and family. He then presented fellow graduates with a few tips for the future: Remember your friends at Valor Christian, the importance of teamwork, your dreams, aspirations, and remember who you are. “What truly does matter is who you are as a person, both in character and spiritually,” he said. Valor Christian CEO and President Kurt Unruh delivered the commencement speech. He gave students four pieces of advice — seek after the truth, seek Christian community, seek to serve and seek excellence in all endeavors. “You are loved here,” he said, “cherished and admired.”
Valedictorian Benjamin Rocklin shakes hands with Kurt Unruh, president of Valor Christian High School, at the graduation ceremony on May 27. Rocklin’s personal statement: “My mission is to serve as a leader and an inspiration to those around me, to give my all in everything I do, and to shine brightly with the light of Christ.” He will attend Stanford University this fall.

Fagen Continued from Page 1
members in Douglas County posted dozens of anti-Fagen comments on the Humble school district’s Facebook page. On May 25, the Humble district put out a letter defending the hire. “Our School Board was well informed on all aspects related to Dr. Fagen’s candidacy,” the letter from Robert Sitton, Humble school board president, reads. “We are aware of the posts from Colorado on our district’s social media page last night and today. We have reviewed the posts, and we want you to know that none of the comments posted were a surprise to us, as we have done extensive research on all seven of our superintendent candidates, including Dr. Liz Fagen.” Fagen’s legacy In Douglas County, parents and educators are reflecting on the impact of Fagen’s six years at the helm of the district, which is Colorado’s third largest with about 67,000 students. “Under Superintendent Fagen’s leadership employee morale has plummeted and millions of dollars have been diverted away from the education of students to fund reform initiatives with unknown budgets and little accountability,” said Laura Mutton, president of the Strong Schools Coalition, a nonpartisan organization of parents, students, teachers and community members. “Ideally, the next superintendent of Douglas County School District will address the many concerns of the community and restore trust so the district can move forward in a positive direction for the sake of our students.” Initiatives that sparked criticism during Fagen’s tenure included the implementation of a new market-based pay system that compensated teachers of in-demand subjects like science and math at a higher rate and measured teacher performance in categories ranging from Highly Effective to Ineffective. The district is also in the midst of multiple legal challenges surrounding its attempt to create a voucher system. In 2012, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union. And the hashtag #firefagen has been used widely on social media for more than a year. Jason Virdin, spokesman for the group Douglas County Parents, a group of parents and community members, called Fagen’s tenure “an era of disregard.” “I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about her time in Douglas County,” Virdin said. Virdin said his group hopes the next superintendent will be a better communicator who will “check their political affiliation at the door and put more money into classrooms than pet projects.” Jenny Robertson, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said she is “happy that Dr. Fagen is leaving Douglas County, but I am very concerned for the Humble community. I don’t think she’s fit to lead any public school district. Her experiments are aggressive and unproven. They would be a better fit in situations where parents knowingly opt their children into them.” Teachers’ union officials also called Fagen’s departure a necessary change. “Although we believe that this is a positive step toward reclaiming public educa-
tion in Douglas County, we also realize that Dr. Fagen acted in concert with the school board that directed her,” Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said. “And, until a majority of board members are elected who support public education and who will treat teachers and staff as the professionals they are, there will be no significant change in the direction of the district.” But Fagen’s supporters believe she made a positive impact in a challenging environment. John Carson, a University of Colorado regent and a member of the Douglas County School Board from 2005-13, praised Fagen for expanding school choice, strengthening charter schools and implementing a pay-for-performance system for teachers. “Dr. Fagen did an excellent job,” said Carson, who was the school board president when Fagen was hired. “She was the kind of leader that challenged the district to excel and improve. She wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.” Carson, who has two children in the district, said he hopes the next superintendent will continue to innovate and build on the work that was done over the past six years. “She poured six years of her life into our district,” said Meghann Silverthorn, who has been school board president since November. “So we are grateful for her service. She oversaw a lot of great successes in the district for parents, students and staff.” The district’s graduation rate has risen steadily under Fagen’s watch. The rate for 2009-10 was 83 percent and for 2014-15 it was 89 percent, according to Colorado Department of Education figures. The average ACT score of district students remained between 21 and 22 each year of her tenure. DCSD’s graduation and ACT figures both outperform the state average. CDE numbers show, however, that teacher turnover under Fagen rose from 10.2 percent in 2009-10 to 19.7 percent in 2015-16. The state average is 17 percent. Search for a new superintendent The board will meet to outline a timetable and criteria to hire a replacement, Silverthorn said. No specific date has been scheduled for a meeting. An interim superintendent is expected to be named before Fagen’s departure and lead the district into the start of the upcoming school year. Silverthorn said she hopes to find someone familiar with the staff, students and the community to serve in the interim — someone “with the heart of a servant who is a leader and understands our community.” Grace Davis, a 16-year old student from Ponderosa High School in Parker, staged a protest at her school in April asking for answers about why teachers are leaving the district. Davis has accused Silverthorn and school board Vice President Judith Reynolds of trying to intimidate her into not holding the rally at the school. “The district’s main priorities when choosing a new superintendent should be their track record, goals, work ethic and how the candidate will impact the students,” Davis said. Davis questioned the board of education’s ability to choose a replacement. “How can we entrust our current board of education with the decision to select our next superintendent if the majority are behaving in ways that are unacceptable for educators and administrators nationwide?” Davis asked. “We, as a district, need
to make sure that we have a board that is truly representing our interests and desires before we jump to hire a new superintendent. The job of superintendent should not be a chess piece in a game of politics. We need to make sure the new member of the DCSD staff is for students and proactive in their work.” Former Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings, who left after the 2014-15 school year, said a new superintendent must be transparent with strategic direction and leadership decisions and be “an honest communicator who doesn’t spin the truth.” “They need to model how to use feedback for improvement,” Goings said. “They need to subject themselves to full 360 (degree) evaluations, getting feedback from a variety of stakeholders. Then, they need to make this a clear expectation for all leaders. Superintendent should be the top learner in the district and show they are always looking at ways to improve as a leader.” Parent Stacey Chamaty of Castle Rock said she believes the position of superintendent should be earned by working your way up through the ranks and by having built trust and gained the respect of your peers, staff and the community. “Wherever our new superintendent comes from, I hope that community will tell us how lucky we are and mourn the departure of someone that has made a positive impact,” Chamaty said. “I don’t want to hear alarm bells and hear people yelling, ‘Good riddance!’” Amy Devalk, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said, “I believe the new superintendent should be open-minded and flexible. They should be able to see all sides of an issue and their only agenda should be what’s best for the students and teachers of Douglas County.” Board of education member Wendy Vogel said the two most important qualities she would like to see are a heart for kids and extensive experience, both in education and leadership. And, she said, the board shouldn’t go it alone in finding Fagen’s replacement. “We absolutely must seek public input,” she said, “and it is imperative that we involve our community in the search for our new leader.”
the Douglas County School District. On May 24, she was named the lone finalist for the superintendent position in Humble, Texas. Fagen has not been available for interviews since the announcement of her departure was made. “The Douglas County School District is truly an excellent school district — one that is a lighthouse in American education,” Fagen said in the news release announcing that she is leaving. “I am proud of all that we have accomplished over the past six years together. I know that our teachers, leaders and support staff will continue to amaze. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work with the talented students and staff in this district.”
“This is an exciting time for Douglas County to not only select a leader who matches the values of our community, but to re-examine and realign our district’s direction that promotes a culture where teachers, staff and students can thrive.” — David Ray, Douglas County School Board member “I think (Superintendent Fagen) was smart to look elsewhere with the turmoil the district is in and a fragmented board and community. I believe she was a puppet of the board and, with current changes and the dysfunctional make-up of the board, can understand why she would want to leave.” — Dave Usechek, Parker resident
“ (In a new superintendent I would like) someone who actually knows and values best practices. Our professional development for the last six years have been extremely useless.” — Niki Mitchell, teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary in Highlands Ranch “The primary focus needs to be on quality education for all students in the district. The new superintendent needs to have organizational leadership skills to implement the desired changes across the district, resulting in a positive cultural shift.” — Cindy Reagor, Highlands Ranch resident “A firm, solid and lengthy background in education is a must — that means a minimum of 10 years in-classroom experience.” — Rachel Bunnn, Parker resident

Homes planned for Central Park
Mixed-use development would have 200 single-family houses on 24.6 acres
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com The announcement of plans for a hospital at Central Park — a mixed-use project south of Plaza Drive and east of Lucent Boulevard — came on the heels of the Douglas County Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve a housing development on the property. The county is amid a review process of plans for 200 single-family residential lots on 24.6 acres. Shea Properties’ proposed subdivision, in partnership with Sage Design Group, would have rows of houses with 29-foot wide alleys that access rear garages, according to Douglas County documents. About four acres will be reserved for sidewalks and open space.
Hospital Continued from Page 1
a May 26 news release from UCHealth. The organization is a health system comprising the University of Colorado Hospital, Memorial Hospital, Poudre Valley Hospital, Medical Center of the Rockies and Colorado Health Medical Group. “Specialists at the CU School of Medicine and University of Colorado Hospital offer clinical trials and innovative treatments sometimes years before they’re more broadly available, giving patients the best possible outcomes,” said Dr. Rich Schulick, chair of the Department of Surgery at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “The new hospital will enable patients in this area to receive many of these advanced treatments without traveling to the CU Anschutz Medical Campus
WHAT’S NEXT The Douglas County Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary housing plans on May 16. The project is scheduled to go before the Douglas County commissioners on June 14. “If the preliminary plan is approved by the board, the next step in the process is the submittal of a final (subdivision) plat – a request which is also considered by the Board of County Commissioners at a public land use meeting,” said Jeanette L. Bare, a planning manager with the county’s Department of Community Development.
The property where the houses would be built faces Barrons Boulevard and sits southeast of the SSG Chris Falkel Drive and Bluepoint Road intersection. It’s across from STEM School and Academy and several businesses, including BackCountry CrossFit and Waterworks Aquatics. Raptor nests will be protected during construction and a burrowing owl study will be performed if ground is broken between now and October, the time in which the birds burrow, according to county documents. A well and water line owned by Centennial Water and Sanitation District will remain in place, as will a gas line owned by Xcel Energy. County engineers reviewed a traffic analysis. Additional traffic signals will be added on Lucent Boulevard, Town Center Drive and Plaza Drive. UCHealth announced plans for a medical campus, including a hospital, on May 26. It said it plans to open the campus in 2018, but Shea Properties has not commented on when ground will be broken
on any aspect of Central Park. In March, prairie dogs on the property were exterminated, a sign that ground could be moving soon. “We will kick off this development with a unique restaurant and specialty retail village at the northwest corner of the site,” Peter Culshaw, executive vice president of Shea Properties, said in a news release. “Unlike other neighborhood centers within the metro area, this will be on a more intimate scale than most.” Culshaw said there are plans for 280 three-story townhomes east of the retail village. The rental community will have a “large, resort-style clubhouse fronting on Central Park.” In addition, there will be restaurants, stores and a park. The entire project, which will encompass about 100 acres, will generate 500-600 construction jobs, the news release states. Steve Hartle, owner and head coach of BackCountry CrossFit on Barrons Boulevard, said Central Park will bring positive recognition to adjacent businesses.
(in Aurora).” The facility will occupy about a third of the nearly 100-acre Central Park development. UCHealth is building on land owned by the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation, the news release states. Shea Properties and Shea Homes will complete the remaining portion of the development. The medical campus is expected to generate 400 “highly paid health care” jobs, according to the release. A groundbreaking date for the facility was not immediately available. “Central Park and the companion health campus will enhance Douglas County’s reputation as an extremely desirable, quality, family-friendly community,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said. “We recognize the significant economic impact and quality of life value this development brings to Highlands Ranch and all of Douglas County.”

“Our location is tucked away,” he said. “The more traffic, the better for us.” Justin Vaughn, chairman of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors, is looking forward to Central Park. “Shea Properties has truly done a good job conceptualizing the entire development,” he said. “The layout is conducive with the needs of Highlands Ranch.”

Mountain Vista students investigate teacher turnover Three students create and distribute survey, want to work with board members on findings By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Olivia McKinzie, a junior at Mountain Vista High School, said teachers have changed her life. Her principal, Michael Weaver, greets students by first names in the hallways. Her social studies teacher connects with students and resembles a relative. So, for a class project, McKinzie chose to investigate why teachers are leaving Douglas County School District. “If it does become a problem at Vista,” McKinzie said, “that would be heartbreaking to me and my peers because we have so many great teachers here.” But although turnover isn’t an issue at Mountain Vista, McKinzie and her classmates, Bella Workman and Ashley Brown, found widespread dissatisfaction with existing compensation and reforms and low morale among the 214 district respondents to the survey they conducted. And three-quarters had considered leaving the district. “The results we got are not representative of all teachers,” McKinzie said, “but it’s enough to cause concern.” The project started in mid-April with a service project assignment in McKinzie’s English III class. She was put in a

spondents. Weaver emphasized Mountain Vista’s teacher turnover rate of about 5 percent is one of the district’s lowest. And that the number of respondents exceeded the 125-member staff at the school, which means “many of the anonymous respondents are not Vista staff members.” “We work with individuals everyday in terms of maintaining a positive climate and culture,” he said in an email. Survey results showed: • 161 respondents had considered leaving DCSD • 145 respondents said they had not been compensated enough • 75 percent opposed most or all DCSD reforms • Four of five respondents felt they did not have a voice in the district • 48 respondents were satisfied with their salaries • 148 were dissatisfied to some degree with their salaries Going forward, McKinzie’s group wants to work with DCSD board members to reverse the issues they believe are causing teacher turnover. The survey’s data is valuable in changing how teacher reforms are implemented, McKinzie said. “We hope to see change,” she said. “No kid wants to see their favorite teacher leave and no school wants its teachers to leave, either.”

three-person group and asked to study an important issue in the community, state or world. Classmates were told to contact nonprofit organizations. But McKinzie, Workman and Brown decided to work with the teachers’ union and the district. Their decision followed the protest on March 9 at Ponderosa High School when students organized a walkout to shine attention on the high teacher turnover rate, which the state education department has reported at 19.7 percent in 2015-16. “When we found out about Ponderosa, we thought it was the perfect thing to work with,” McKinzie said. McKinzie and her team first made a practice survey with categories of multiple choice, check-all-that-apply and select-other questions. Content and questions were based on feedback from a test group of Mountain Vista teachers. Jessica Wheeler, who teaches English

III, supported the project. “Olivia and her group have very positive intentions with this project and just want what is best for all in Douglas County Schools,” she said. The group created an online survey at www.tinyurl.com/dcsdtss, which ran from May 3 to May 15. Participants remained anonymous, but were asked for their DCSD position and length of time in that position. The survey then asked specifics on reforms, salary, compensation and teacher treatment. A printed version was distributed at Mountain Vista High School and Mountain Ridge Middle School. The web link was posted to the “Speak for DCSD” Facebook page and shared with the teachers’ union. When the survey closed, McKinzie and her group had data from 214 re-

Web-sale signs installed at sheriff’s locations In early 2015, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office offered the parking lots of both of law enforcement facilities, in Castle Rock and in Highlands Ranch, as a “safe haven” for making exchanges of items bought or sold on the internet. The transactions are not supervised by sheriff’s office staff; however, designating the sheriff’s office as an exchange location is hoped to create a deterrent for those who do not intend to complete the transaction as agreed. The sheriff’s office has reserved four parking spaces at the Douglas County Justice Center, on the southwest side of the parking lot, and two parking spaces at the Highlands Ranch Substation, directly across from the main entrance, as designated “Internet Purchase Exchange” locations. Although transactions continue to be the responsibility of the involved parties and the sheriff’s office will not supervise the transaction, the designated parking spaces are under video surveillance. Sheriff Tony Spurlock described the use of the parking lot as a “preventative measure to ensure there’s a safe place to allow buyers and sellers to conduct their business.” The addresses for the facilities are: Douglas County Justice Center, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock; and Highlands Ranch Substation, 9250 Zotos Drive, Highlands Ranch.

Challenges, balance are key to good life “Every day is a new challenge.” That was the response to the first question I had asked of Diana Rudolph during our coffee meeting the other day. It was such a great response and it fueled the rest of my questions for our brief visit together. Now for some context. You see, I had written a couple of recent columns “The Champion in All of Us,” and “Being CrossFit for Life,” and talked about the importance of keeping balance in all areas of our lives. Too much of anything and soon enough an overdeveloped strength can quickly become a weakness. So we need to invest time proportionately in ourselves and in our family and friends in the areas of our mind, body and spirit. Many people responded to the columns and shared their views and opinions, some focused on how they balance and prioritize their lives, others had questions on how to actually achieve this balance, and others focused on the CrossFit element. One local reader and owner of the CrossFit Loop thanked me for the column and invited me to come and work out with him and the gang at his box. I appreciate Korby for the invite and for the introduction to Diana Rudolph, who happened to be training there that day. I would say it was a coincidence, but we know that coincidences are just God’s way of staying anonymous. Diana recently qualified for the CrossFit Games, kind of like the Super Bowl for football or the World Series in baseball. She is currently ranked 22nd amongst the women in the world and is looking forward to competing at the very highest level as the CrossFit Games get underway this summer. My curiosity was piqued for sure. So I had to ask more about when she got started, how
she trains, eats, sets goals and balances all other areas of her life. I mean, here she is ranked 22nd and competing at the highest level in the sport and she only started training five years ago, and before she started her journey she shared with me that she Michael Norton could not do any of the exercises, let alone one WINNING pull-up. She has a family, runs a business, and WORDS finds time to train three hours a day, three days a week. She has three trainers and trains in two different CrossFit boxes, CrossFit Loop and Front Range CrossFit. By the way, special shout-out to her coaches Scott, Renee, Mike and Korby for helping Diana get to this point. Now, her achievement is pretty incredible and I can’t wait to see how the games turn out. But what she shared with me as we started the conversation is what really got my attention. “Every day is a new challenge.” That is what she loves about CrossFit and what she loves about life. Many of us face new challenges every day in all that we do. So for my own benefit and for your benefit I asked her about how she deals with those challenges. Her answer: • Set goals — general goals that can be achieved, stretch goals where she can push the envelope every day • She does this because she wants to find out where her peak actually is; challenges inspire her.
• She has learned how to balance all areas of life and has become self-sufficient in so many ways. • Discipline and intensity. • Leans on her coaches and advisers. Diana has at least two new goals. She participates in a fundraiser called the Do More Charity Challenge. Last year her team came in second and her goal this year is to take first place. And she is currently ranked 22nd and her goal is to break into the top 10. I love this because one is a personal goal and one is a communitydriven goal and a way for her to give back. That is the balance I am talking about. I may have forgotten to mention that Diana is 52 years old. So she began her journey at 47. So you see, it really doesn’t matter where we are in our lives, we can set and achieve goals at any time and at any age. And as a matter of fact, Diana’s mom, Sharon, started CrossFit training at age 73 and has also recently competed. It reminds me of what Zig Ziglar used to say, “We cannot make any more new yesterdays, but we can create as many new tomorrows as we possibly can.” What’s on your list for a new tomorrow? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can set goals, push to find our peak, find balance in our lives, live with discipline and intensity, lean on our coaches and advisers and give back to the community, it really will be a better than good week. Thanks for being such a great example, Diana, and we all wish you success in the CrossFit Games. 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.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Be prudent with petitions Currently 24 ballot proposals have been approved for petition circulation. This means you will probably be approached by a variety of petition circulators at your grocery store, library, shopping mall or other public venues asking you to sign a variety of initiative petitions. And most will advocate signing the petition “just to get it on the ballot so people can vote on it.” Be cautious. Your signature is valuable. The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties suggest you consider these six questions to help you decide whether or not to sign a petition. • Is it complex? Some issues can be decided by a simple yes or no vote. Complex issues may need additional questions answered and explained. • Is it confusing? Some ballot proposals may require court resolutions or interpretation. Ask the circulator to explain the issue. • Does it belong in the Colorado Constitution? If the issue passes and is placed in the Colorado Constitution, it will stay there forever. The only way it can be changed it by another vote of the people. • How will it be funded? An initiative should generally create its own revenue source and not earmark, restrict or obligate a specific percentage of the state’s General Fund revenues. • Who is behind it? Who are the sponsors and opponents? If you wish more research go to www.sos.state. co.us and click on elections & voting, then on initiatives, then on proposed initiatives. • Ask to see the petition circulator’s ID. Paid gathers are required to carry a picture ID issued by the Secretary of State. You can prevent fraud by insisting on seeing identification. As the League of Women Voters has long advocated: “Think Before You Ink.” Marlu Burkamp Littleton Letters continues on Page 11

I know I would be living in the Englishlanguage slums with an unwashed vocabulary, getting by with catchy phrases like “Pleased to meet you,” and “How is your mother, Carl?” My tongue would be thick, untrained, and guilty of the mispronunciation of words like “perpendicular” and “genuflect.” By the way, you can’t be perpendicular and genuflect at the same time.

In the sense that it profoundly threatens the quality of my existence. Where was I when I first heard the song that changed my life? I do not know. How old was I when I heard the song? I do not know. I must have been 5 or 6, because I can vaguely recall singing it on the playground. It turned heads for two reasons. Then as now, I couldn’t sing worth crapulence. Secondly, the lyrics are stupefying. “Say what?” Jimmy Detwiler said. “Excuse me?” Emily Danford said. OK. So if Jimmy and Emily were in the picture, that places me in Hopwood, Pennsylvania.

Home care and hospice are beautiful partnership Hospice is specialized care for individuals with a terminal diagnosis and with less than six months to live. A patient’s team of experts seeks to relieve pain and to bring comfort and every bit of joy to the person’s last days. Many people have the misconception that at-home hospice services provide round-the-clock care. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Although hospice staffs are always on call and available for emergency situations, actual hospice services only offer an hour or two of certified nursing assistant care per day as well as weekly nurse visits. Home care can supply a much broader range of care. One of the first things a hospice team will do for a patient is to prepare an individualized care plan that will, among other things, address the amount of care and support needed for the patient. Oftentimes family caregivers are on site to support their loved one when hospice is not there. There are situations where the hospice patient does not have family or the family lives far away or it is just too overwhelming and they need respite themselves. Home care can help. Home care providers can provide respite care to families. Respite care is stand-in care given to a patient so that

Having respite care can enable family caregivers to keep providing rather than burning out or becoming ill themselves. OngoChristina Davis ing caregiving can LIVING AND deteriorate one’s physical well-being AGING WELL as well as one’s mental health, potentially leading to anxiety attacks, depression and other issues. Respite home care provides time and space needed to heal and recuperate. Home care provides specially trained caregivers that help fill the gap with personal and companion care services and respite care for families in need. Some of the services home care provides include: • Personal care — including incontinence care, bathing, grooming, dressing • Linen changes • Housekeeping • Companionship
• Emotional support • Respite care in the home for family caregivers Acceptance of hospice and home care can be difficult for both the patient and the family. Both agencies can help families understand that they are there to provide the best care for their loved one, to offer services to make the transition comfortable and dignified, and to give families peace of mind that their loved one has everything they need. Sometimes, families simply are not sure where to find hospice or home care help. A family can search for these resources in many ways. One option is to check online search engines such as Google or Bing. A family can ask their doctor’s office or local rehabilitation center for a referral — often they have connections with both types of agencies. Neighbors and friends are always a great way to find help, or one can look in a local Seniors Resource Guide directory. Some things to consider when searching for a homecare company to help with your loved one: • How long has the agency been providing home care services? • Does the company perform background checks on all staff? • How does this provider select and
train its employees? • Does the home care company have caregivers trained in hospice care? • Can they meet any special needs you may have such as language or cultural preferences? • Does the company have enough hospice-trained caregivers to provide the care needed? Not all home care agencies are able to provide 24/7 care. Home care and hospice have a supportive, collaborative partnership. When families are faced with the loss of a loved one, they need to know that there are options to help them during this painful time. During such a difficult time, family members should simply be able to be family. Allow home care professionals to take on the responsibility of giving care to your loved one while you spend those irreplaceable moments with one another.

Words can become poems, non-sequiturs, double entendres, palindromes, innuendos, puns, quips and homophones, deer readers. One of the song’s writers said the song was based on an English nursery rhyme. “Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet and liddle sharksy doisters.” “Mairzy Doats” was composed in 1943, recorded by the Merry Macs, and it reached No. 1 in 1944. All I know is that it changed my life. It opened me up to the possibilities of clever wording. My next encounter with grammar play came every day at noon in 1956 when we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It involved a man named Milton Supman. His stage name was Soupy Sales.

Littleton church uses comedy to raise money for a pair of causes By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
little before 7 p.m. on a Saturday, comedian Bob Meddles takes the stage. A small church in Littleton seems like an odd place to see stand-up comedy, but Meddles, billed as The Comic Next Door, isn’t out of place in front of a few dozen audience members in pews drinking iced tea and eating cookies. “I have, believe it or not,” he answers, when asked if he’s played a church before. “It’s just a very different show.” Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren on South Windermere Street is a slightly different church. Pastor Gail Valeta’s sermon last Sunday was on “Star Wars” and Celtic theology, so a stand-up comedy show to benefit a pair of the church’s causes in Africa — Nigerians displaced by the Boko Haram terrorist group and Ethiopians without access to water — is not much of a stretch. “This is one way we thought we could help,” Valeta said of the event, Stand Up for Africa. This is the second time Prince of Peace has tried a comedy show as a benefit. In 2010, the church hosted a benefit for those affected by that year’s massive earthquake in Haiti. Comedy in a place of worship isn’t all that uncommon. Outreach Inc., a Colorado Springs-based company that books entertainment acts for churches, lists dozens of comics on its website. Marjorie Hofer of Peace Mennonite Community Church in Aurora said her church has had Christian comedy troupes put on shows in the past. She came to the show because Peace Mennonite also supports the victims of Boko Haram. For some, however, it may not line up with their perception of church. “I’m a recovering Catholic,” congregant Tom Mauser said. “You would never think of this (in a Catholic church).” As would be expected for the venue, the comedy was devoid of swear words or sexual material. The darkest subject
Comedian Bob Meddles performs at Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren in Littleton on May 21. The church hosted a stand-up comedy show to benefit humanitarian causes in Nigeria and Ethiopia. Photo by Kyle Harding matter Meddles touched on was a bit about assisted suicide, but he mostly stuck to self-deprecating jokes about his weight — “Don’t be fooled by the suit, there’s a whole lot of me under here” — and stories about marriage, fast food and Costco. “We made it a requirement that it be
family-friendly — which was hard to find,” Valeta said. Mauser and fellow churchgoer Paul Rohrer served as openers for Meddles, using slideshows, Russian and Italian accents and lots of puns. Stand-up continues on Page 13

Castle Rock outdoors show to feature artists Guild holds downtown event for fourth year By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Greater Castle Rock Art Guild will repeat its successful “Court the Arts Festival” for a fourth year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 11 and 12, on the lawn of the DMV Building at 301 Wilcox St. in downtown Castle Rock. (The artists coordinate with the Rotary Club’s popular Ducky Derby, which happens in the area on June 11 as well — with the duckies scheduled to race at 3 p.m.) GCRAG artists will be joined in this event by creative folks from the neighboring Parker Artists Guild and a total of about 40 are expected, according to Fritz Anders, who will exhibit his wood-burning designs, suggested by the “distinctive natural patterns” in each piece of wood. Works will be in a variety of mediums and artists will enjoy talking about their processes and products. Watercolorist Cindy Welch will exhibit her paintings of historic Castle Rock landmarks, probably including spots visible from the lawn, as well as other subjects. Dennis Guttenberger of Western Log Creations will show “rustic mountain style furnishings and accessories,” including pieces created from beetle-kill pine, with its distinctive blue markings. (He is also contact person for entries and it would appear from a look at the website that space is still available for the two-day event — gcrag.com.) Ken Smith Photography will also have

Rohrer teaches acting, and Mauser has developed somewhat of a following for humorous slideshows he began doing for his job at the Colorado Department of Transportation. “They asked me to do the announcements one Sunday,” Mauser said. “They hadn’t seen the comic side of me.” Despite the serious matters the show benefitted, Mauser said a comedy event fits perfectly. “People want to have fun,” he said. “If you want them to contribute money toward the cause, what better way than to let them have fun?” That turned out to be the right idea. Valeta said the day before the show that she hoped to raise $750 to $1,000. Right after the show, she said it raised upward of $1,500. The night’s comedy was punctuated by information on the causes that the money went toward. Addisu Haile told the audience about the work being done in his native Ethiopia, where the KAFFA Development Association is working to bring clean water to the village of Muti.

to fetch water from streams. “This is just basic needs,” Haile said. “We’re not talking about anything fancy.” Haile, who left Ethiopia to attend college in the U.S. in 1978, spent six weeks working in Ethiopia last year. He said a comedy show is a great way to raise money to help the effort. “The whole point of church is to provide service,” he said. Valeta spoke to the crowd about the situation faced by Christians and Muslims in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has killed thousands, destroyed towns and kidnapped young girls. “Boko Haram may be worse than ISIS,” Valeta said. The victims include many members of Church of the Brethren, which is her church’s denomination. Valeta said the money is going directly to volunteers on the ground, providing food, blankets and shelter. “We know the funds are not being pilfered or being squandered,” Valeta said. In addition to raising more money than Valeta expected, the show was a crowd-pleaser. “He was such a blast,” Hofer said of Meddles. Valeta also thought the show was a success. “I just laughed my head off,” she said.

Rough Riders explored in Coloradan’s book Author addresses large crowd at Littleton event By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado author Mark Lee Gardner is said to be the first biographer to tell the Rough Riders’ story from Teddy Roosevelt’s point of view. The author spoke to a sizable crowd at Gardner the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove on May 10 about his new book, “Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment and the Immortal Charge up San Juan Hill.” The Spanish were mistreating the Cubans, Gardner said, but the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in February 1898 was the factor that really inflamed Americans, who were hungry for a war — “a war for humanity.” Was it an underwater mine? The Spanish claimed it was internal, Gardner said. “Why would Spain provoke a war with the U.S.? Did the Cubans do it? “ President McKinley told the Spanish to get out of Cuba, or else — and they declared war. Teddy Roosevelt, who was secretary of the Navy, was pushing for war. Garner said that surprised people who knew him, since his wife was recovering from surgery and his son was ill. “It was an opportunity to have their own war for the men of the late 19th century,” Gardner observed. His book’s opening chapters are filled with stories of American men of all sorts, eager to go to war — there were 6,ooo applications for the three regiments (about 1,000 openings) assigned to Roosevelt eventually — and they were treated like today’s rock stars as they traveled south by train to sail to Cuba. Although he included some of his rich
Eastern society friends, the bulk of his Rough Riders were Westerners, cowboys and ranchers. Each man had to supply his own uniform, “Khaki uniforms were new” — and Gardner notes that Roosevelt’s was tailored by Brooks Brothers in New York. Roosevelt also brought along about a dozen pairs of spectacles, packed in various nooks and crannies, so he could always find a pair. He had a cavalry contingent, although when it came time to sail, there wasn’t room to take the horses, due to inexperienced planners up and down the line. Gardner found family letters written by Roosevelt’s men, as well as letters to their hometown newspapers, that gave him lots of first-person material to include in this very readable volume. The Rough Riders had three mascots: Josephine, a mountain lion; a little dog called Cuba; and a golden eagle called Teddy. Young women wanted buttons from the men’s uniforms for souvenirs, he said in describing the scenes at train stations. Gardner had a small segment of early film shot of the Rough Riders that he shared with the audience, then said after they were loaded on the ship, ready to sail, they were held up for six days, in sweltering heat, awaiting a naval escort. They finally did arrive in Cuba, and their ranks included some buffalo (black) soldiers in separate units. The war was over soon — troops were back by September. “They were kind of like astronauts,” Gardner observed. There were Rough Rider games, cigars, baking powder … Several signed on with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows … they had annual reunions through the 1960s.” Gardner, wearing an embroidered cowboy shirt, is also a musician and concluded his talk with a rendition of “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” from the era — accompanied by a vintage banjo. The new book, published in May by Harper Collins, will be a logical addition to the American history buff’s library.

Curious Theatre play is thought-provoking ‘White Guy on a Bus’ makes some uncomfortable points
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shatique is riding a city bus and clipping coupons as she goes — coupons that will go to her mother, who is caring for her son in a safer neighborhood in New Jersey, where she visits once a week. Ray, a prosperous white businessman, sits next to her, chatting as though they had met before. Bruce Graham’s multi-faceted look at racial disparities we see every day in our society — “White Guy on a Bus,” at Denver’s Curious Theatre — leaves an audience thinking and talking when it’s time to head home. A layered stage takes us for rides on a bus toward the state prison where Shatique’s brother is serving a life sentence and elsewhere.
Jada Suzanne Dixon’s character, Shatique, was inspired in part by women whom playwright Bruce Graham met as he took the Rikers Island bus (the one that goes to New York City’s main jail) and talked with passengers and guards about the visits and life situations. She is going to school, working and trying to stay connected with her family — and stressed. “Why are you on this bus?” she asks Ray — he’s the only white person on board on several trips. Another stage level on Michael Duran’s clever set places us in the comfortable suburban home of Roz (Dee Covington) and Ray (Sam Gregory). She teaches in an inner-city school, but leaves for home while it’s still daylight. He wonders why another Thai or Vietnamese restaurant, rather than an American one? Roz is outspoken to the point of being brutal and the dialogue gets heated and pointed throughout the play for assorted reasons as stories develop. “Conversation is a contact sport for Roz,” Sam tells his sensitive

daughter-in-law Molly. Ray also is able to find out facts about anyone — and does — through a private investigator used in his work. “I’m a numbers guy,” he says proudly — but he’s also restless and thinking they should sell everything and move along, while she is devoted to her career. A third area suggests the apartment of Ray’s son, Christopher (Andy Waldschmidt) and his wife Molly (Rachel Bouchard), who choose to live in the city and would be classified as “academic liberals.” (They choose the city, that is, until she becomes pregnant and fears for a little child’s welfare there.) Christopher is completing his doctoral dissertation on “Male African-American Images in Television Advertising” (what qualities should they have?) and is getting input from black colleagues that he has no right to that topic. Does he? Shatique’s walk-up apartment is high in a corner. Director Chip Walton moves his cast through varied scenes with skill,

Graham’s well-crafted dialogue carries the story, interconnecting the characters and stories as tensions build. Veteran actors Dixon, Gregory and Covington build conflict, contrasting with the less-experienced young couple. Where might truth lie? Is there any one truth? This is a timely new play, in its third outing at Curious Theatre as part of a National New Play roll-out, intended to give a new work “legs.” It should hit a nerve in cities across the nation, although some may find it rough.

Soccer Continued from Page 1
and it got tougher, they had a common bond and started intermingling — pushing each other.” The players, ages 13 to 15, come from Denver, Parker, Castle Rock, Aurora, Green Valley Ranch and Highlands Ranch. About half of the team is of Mexican descent. One player is African American. And the rest are white. William Kopp, 14, doesn’t speak Spanish. But the Caucasian boy from Castle Rock still figures out a way to communicate with his bilingual soccer teammates who revert to Spanish on the field. “He was actually excited to learn Spanish,” his mother, Amy, said. “… From soccer he has gained an understanding of terms not used in the general school curriculum and has the opportunity to hear and use a second language in a fun and functional way.” Michael Chavez, 13, is of Mexican heritage and lives in Green Valley Ranch, a community close to Denver International Airport, with his family. Chavez said he feels comfortable with his team. They all share a competitive mindset and want to win. His coach also makes sure everything is good at home, he said. Chavez’s father, Joe, sees the team’s positive impact on his son. “Michael and his peers are at the age were they are very influenced by their surroundings, even if it’s bad,” Joe said. “So soccer

It’s a positive environment for the kids.” Fourteen-year-old Irvan Carreon lives in Aurora with his Mexican family. Since he started playing with the team, he said he has become a better student and his grades have improved. “I’m more academically aware because I care about the team,” he said. “And I want to play professional soccer.” Christopher Cornn moved to Parker from San Francisco about a year ago. He’s the only African American on the team, and his teammates have embraced him as their newest member. “Moving teenage boys from what they know has been a challenge,” his mother, Charlene Hollands, said. “But Chris’ membership with (this) great group of boys has made that transition really
good.” The players share a special bond despite differences in backgrounds and socio-economics. “Race doesn’t matter,” Hollands said. “It’s about a love for soccer.” And that love is taking them to Barcelona this summer. From June 25 to July 1, Storm U14 will spend a week in Spain for the Barcelona Summer Cup. It’s an opportunity that players and parents never expected when they joined the team, Kopp said. Some, like Chavez, will take their first trip out of the country. “I’m excited, but nervous,” he said. Miner wants his players to compete with teams from around the world and see how other cultures play. Last year, teams from Spain, France, South Africa, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and

But the trip wasn’t handed to them — they had to play hard, keep their grades up and raise money. Miner created a GoFundMe page that raised about $4,800 of a $10,000 goal. The money helped cover travel expenses and tournament fees. The remaining funds came from the sale of tamales, candy, cookies and raffle tickets, corporate donations and players’ own money. If the team raises more money, players will pay less out of pocket, Miner said. The players had a successful first season. Their strengths complement each other, Miner said. Some are precise and listen well; others are aggressive and fast. “We are doing well because of the chemistry and the team support,” he said. “Now they are starting to trust each other.” In less than a year, the team has won four championships and
placed second in two tournaments. Miner stresses the importance of grades. He makes sure his players’ grade-point averages are up to par and gives out homework assignments. Once, he had players pick three colleges, three areas of study and research their soccer teams. Miner helps his players set realistic goals, parents said. “Ron worked so hard to bring these kids together,” said Carreon’s mother, Angelica. The players agree. “Ron did the most for us out of everything,” Michael Chavez said. “From tournaments to statelevel games to games in another country.” The team is, players and parents say, committed to the sport and each other. “We are,” Carreon said, “basically family.”

Valor players celebrate on May 29 after winning the Class 4A state baseball championship. The Eagles won three games in two days, including besting Pueblo West in both ends of a doubleheader. Photos by Tom Munds
Valor wins first baseball title Eagles down Pueblo West twice to capture state championship By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor took home its first baseball championship trophy by staging a storybook comeback to outscore Pueblo West 9-6 in the May 29 Class 4A state title game at All Star Park in Lakewood. “This was the matchup of the two best teams in 4A,” Valor coach Keith
Wahl said after the championship game. “Pueblo West is a great baseball team and they deserve a ton of credit. They will keep knocking on the door and they will keep at it until they win a championship. This is a great win for our team and our school.” Rain pushed the playoffs back so the double-elimination state championship playoffs were decided May 28 and 29. Valor edged Erie 5-3 to advance to the May 29 edition of the playoffs, while Pueblo West remained undefeated by beating Windsor. So the Cy-
clones came into the May 29 championship round undefeated to face Valor, a team the Cyclones beat in the May 21 quarterfinals. On May 29, Valor won the first game 7-1. The Eagles’ win forced the second half of the doubleheader to decide the state champions. In the title game, the Cyclones got the bats going and went up 3-0 in the home half of the first inning. They added a run to their lead in the home half of the third inning. Valor’s bats came alive in the top of the fourth. With two outs, the Eagles
used a walk and six singles to score four runs to tie the score. The Cyclones went ahead 5-4 in the home half of the fifth but Valor countered with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth to take the lead for good. Levi Walter collected three hits and drove in three runs for the Eagles. Sean Rooney and Patrick Morton had a pair of hits each while Noah Kuzma, Luke Bozarth and Joel Pierce each had one hit and each of the five players drove in a run. Title continues on Page 21
Mountain Vista comes up a goal short Golden Eagles fall to Grandview in Class 5A championship match By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista scored once against Grandview in the state championship game, but the pursuit of two goals turned into a tough assignment. The Golden Eagles didn’t pass the test May 25 as Grandview won 2-1 in the Class 5A girls soccer title game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Mountain Vista ended the season with a 15-4-1 record while Grandview (180-1) captured its second straight state championship. The only match Grandview didn’t win all season was a 0-0 draw against Mountain Vista on March 17 at Shea Stadium. In the rematch for the state championship, both teams scored in the first half. Grandview went ahead 1-0 when Melanie Jenkins scored off a bouncing ball in front of the goal in the 16th min-
Mountain Vista’s Haley Schueppert, right, and Grandview’s Madelyn Germann vie for control of a loose ball. Grandview won the 5A girls state soccer final by the score of 2-1 at Dicks’s Sporting Goods Park on May 25. Photo by Paul DiSalvo ute of the game. Mountain Vista tied the game when junior Haley Schueppert scored on a
penalty kick with 10:45 to play in the first half. But scoring twice against Grandview
is tough as the Wolves allowed only seven goals all season. Schueppert’s goal was the first Grandview allowed in the 2016 playoffs. Cherry Creek, in a 3-2 Centennial League overtime loss, was the only team to score twice against Grandview during the season. “We just couldn’t find a way to get that second goal,” Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer said. “We had good opportunities. I thought the girls fought hard. We just came up a little short. I was really proud of my girls.” Grandview’s Avianne Burris lifted the ball into the net for the second goal with 21 minutes left in the game after a Wolves rush into the scoring area. Mountain Vista had chances in the second half, including a couple from junior Katie Joella, who led the team with 16 goals. With 12 underclass players on the roster, the Golden Eagles have a nucleus of experienced players returning next season. In the past eight seasons, Mountain Vista has posted a record of 118-19-11 and averaged 14.8 wins a year.

Valor falls in girls soccer title game
Title Continued from Page 20
Playing three games in two days tested the depth of the Eagles’ pitching staff. Valor advanced to the championship phase of the tournament with a 5-3 win over Erie on May 28. Luke Zigler pitched six innings, gave up three hits and no earned runs, walked five and struck out five. Nyk Crumrine pitched one inning to close out the win. David Heller got the start for Valor in the first game against the Cyclones. The freshman struck out the side in the first inning and went on to pitch six innings as he gave up four hits, one run, walked three and struck out five. Sean Morton pitches the final inning to secure the win for the Eagles. Valor starting pitcher Luke McNary was on the mound for four innings. He gave up eight hits, four earned runs and struck out six. Crumrine pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up one hit and one run. Morton pitched the final 2 1/3 innings and gave up three hits and no earned runs. “The new pitch-count rule worked into our planning a lot,” Wahl said after the championship game. “Crumrine pitched for us Saturday and we knew he could only throw so many pitches today. Then we called on Sean Morton and he really came through for us. If you told me Sean would close out the state championship

The Eagles went on to win the Class 4A championship by the score of 9-6 at All-Star Park in Lakewood on May 29. Photo by Paul DiSalvo game I would said that would be unbelievable.” Morton said he got very excited when the coach called on him to pitch in the championship game. “I felt the coach called on me to get the job done and close out the game,
and that is what I did,” the senior said. “I was feeling excited in that last inning. I was up and down a bit, but I knew my teammates, my brothers, were behind me to make the plays and there was no way we would lose this game.”
It took 40 minutes but Valor Christian figured out what it needed to do in the Class 4A state championship girls soccer match against Lewis-Palmer at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. However, the damage had already been inflicted in as the top-seeded Rangers made a first-half goal stand up in a 1-0 victory over the Eagles on May 25. Valor Christian played with more intensity and put pressure on the Rangers’ back line in the final 40 minutes, but defense is what helped Lewis-Palmer complete a 19-1-0 season. “The girls desired it greatly and it showed in the second half,” said Valor coach Brian Shultz. “The first half was really about solving the puzzle, and (in the) second half we figured a few things out and really went for it. “I’m really proud of their effort till the very end. Part of the reason we couldn’t get a goal is because Lewis-Palmer has a fantastic defense.” The Rangers didn’t allow a goal in the state

Lewis-Palmer got the only tally it needed when Annica Fletemeyer scored off an assist by Brianna Alger in the 18th minute when she drilled a shot just outside the reach of Valor sophomore keeper Alexander Daws and into the net. “We were just exposed on a counter attack and our keeper almost had it — she got a hand on it,” Shultz said. Valor resumed play in the second half with more energy and survived two good scoring opportunities by Lewis-Palmer. The Eagles had a trio of chances to tie the game, including one scramble in

front of the goal with 1:42 showing on the clock. “We came together and started to play for each other versus the first half when we just wanted to score,” said senior forward Dakota Spencer. “There was a little more heart.” Valor, seeded seventh in the state playoffs, ended the season with a 16-4-0 record. “We would be proud of the season whether we won or lost,” Shultz said. “There were a lot of girls that didn’t get on the field in the championship game. They have been just as important of a part to our season because they trained and prepared and helped us in other parts of the season.”

Rock Canyon can’t find rhythm at state Jaguars finish sixth after last year’s runner-up performance
By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon, coming off an impressive win in the Western Regional qualifying tournament in Grand Junction on May 10, didn’t play as well in the girls Class 5A State Golf Championships, which were held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Club in Aurora. The Jaguars tied for sixth place with a 36-hole total of 503, which was 41 strokes more than state champion Grandview. “We weren’t as hot as we were in the regionals,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “The weather and a little bit of nerves kind of got to some people.” Thunderstorms halted played both days. Golfers and spectators took cover in the clubhouse for 73 minutes during an afternoon delay on May 24. Alexis Chan carded rounds of 83 and 79 to lead the way for Rock Canyon, which was the state runner-up a year ago. She tied for 13th place with a 161 two-round total. Amelia Lee tied for 17th place with a 162 total with rounds of 83 and 79. Brandy McClain had rounds of 85 and 96 for a 181 total and Naura Tagiya finished at 97-95 and 192 aggregate for 36 holes. “Everybody had to deal with the
Alexis Chan was the low scorer for Rock Canyon during the Class 5A state golf championships held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora. She tied for 13th place after rounds of 82 and 79. The Jaguars tied for sixth in the team standings. Photo by Jim Benton weather,” Vahling continued. “We got a couple bad breaks on a couple holes and that gets your confidence going the wrong way as a player. “That’s golf. You can play your worst round ever one day and then turn around the next day and play your best.” Lee and Chan are juniors and McClain is a sophomore. “We were up there again and we were competitive,” said Vahling. “We have most of the players back next year so we’ll shoot
at it again.” Heritage senior Joanna Kempton led the way for golfers from south metro schools. Kempton tied for ninth place with piggyback rounds of 79 for a 14-over-par total of 158. She recorded three birdies over two rounds, including one on the 18th hole of the final round. Heritage was fifth in the team standings with Cherry Creek and Rock Canyon tied for sixth. Cherry Creek’s Stephanie Bang was the top Bruins golfer at 163 with rounds of 81 and 82. Mary Weinstein of Regis Jesuit won the individual championship with a 4-underpar, 36-hole total of 140.

Performances leave lasting impressions It’s time to rewind some of the highlights from the 201516 high school sports seasons. Like many highlight reels, it’s possible some of the best performances and efforts might have been trimmed or overJim Benton looked, so consider this a sampling: OVERTIME • Pomona defeated top-ranked Valor Christian, 28-14, in the Panthers’ first game of the 2015 football season. Later, the teams would clash again, this time in the Class 5A state championship game. Valor scored 15 unanswered points and used a key Panthers’ fumble late in the game to notch a 28-26 victory. • Westminster’s football team opened eyes by winning its first nine games before a loss in the first round of the playoffs. • Holy Family senior quarterback Chris Helbig had people in the Colorado High School Activities Association office scanning state record books. He passed for a record 607 yards in the season-opener and had 3,517 yards passing and 39 touchdowns before a knee injury ended his season after nine games. • Valor Christian won its second straight Class 4A softball championship by
breaking up a no-hitter in the semifinals and another in the final. • Mountain Vista’s boys soccer team, seeded 28th in the 5A playoffs, made a remarkable run by upsetting teams ranked 12th, fourth and first but lost 2-1 in overtime to No. 2 seed Broomfield in the state finals. • In the seen-it-before category, Valor won its fourth straight 4A boys golf title, Cherry Creek’s boys captured their fourth consecutive tennis title and 41st in the past 44 years, and Mountain Vista’s boys won their fourth cross country championship in a row. SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler won his second consecutive 3A boys cross country crown. • And, for those who love replays, girl swimmers Brooke Stenstrom of Valor Christian and Abby Kochevar of Rock Canyon were worth watching. Stenstrom won three 4A state titles last fall at the state meet and set a state record. She leaves Valor with five state championship ribbons. Kochevar won two state titles, including her third straight in the 100 backstroke. • Valor Christian won its second 4A girls state basketball title and ThunderRidge defeated a Highlands Ranch team that seemed unbeatable, 47-32 in the 5A championship game. The Falcons had overcome a 13-point halftime deficit to down the Grizzlies, 46-37, in a Continental League regular-season game, but ThunderRidge dominated the rematch to end the season.
• Ponderosa freshman Cohlton Schultz completed an undefeated wrestling season with first-period pins to win the 220-pound Class 5A state championship. • Pomona’s boys won the Class 5A state track title to join the wrestling and girls gymnastics teams as state champions. • Lutheran’s boys, led by Kent Harris, captured the school’s third straight state track and field title, one in 2A and the past two in 3A. Cherry Creek’s girls tennis team made news by finishing second in the state championships at the Gates Tennis Center. It was the first time in 19 years that the Bruins were not the first-place team. Same name, different sport Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner stood on the field after watching the Eagles play Lewis-Palmer in the Class 4A state championship soccer game and admitted it was not the kind of football he used to play. In other parts of the world, the soccer is called football, but Heiner played the American brand of football. He was a two-time All-North Central Conference linebacker at Northern Colorado and played on both of the Bears’ Division II national championship teams. He went to the Tennessee Titans’ training camp and then played in NFL Europe, the XFL and with the Colorado Crush.

It’s time to rewind some of the highlights from the 2015-16 high school sports seasons. Like many highlight reels, it’s possible some of the best performances and efforts might have been trimmed or overlooked, so consider this a sampling. Jeffco names players of year The Jefferson County League named its Players of the Year for soccer. Alyssa Kaiser of Ralston Valley and Valor Christian’s Camryn Dyke were chosen Kaiser, a senior, was the 5A Player of the Year after scoring 19 goals with 18 assists for 56 points. Dyke, a junior, had 36 points on 15 goals and six assists and was honored as the 4A Player of the Year. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 30, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans. You could find a good reason to make a change at this time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Just when you thought you had everything planned to the smallest detail, you get some news that could unsettle things. But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due. Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder. You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down. BORN THIS WEEK: You keep an open mind on most matters, making you the confidante of choice for people who need your honest counsel. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
