Firing puts focus on growing unrest Texts show discussions on city manager’s future go back at least to May
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com When at-large Littleton City Councilmember Doug Clark introduced a motion to fire Michael Penny at a special council meeting, he said it was due to incompetence and a lack of
transparency on the city manager’s part. But others believe it is part of a concerted effort to stop progress in the city, actions that may have included communications that violated openmeetings law. “We have had, over the last six months, a multi-pronged approach to dismantle this city,” District 1 Councilmember Bill Hopping said at the June 14 meeting, citing an attempt to abolish the city’s urban-renewal authority as well as the voting
down at the May 3 council meeting of a $200,000 streetscape study that would have provided recommendations for parking and safety improvements. Council voted 4-2 to fire Penny, effective immePenny diately, ending his nearly five-year tenure with the city. A text message exchange
between Mayor Bruce Beckman; his wife, state House District 38 candidate and former Arapahoe County Commissioner Susan Beckman; and District 2 Councilmember Jerry Valdes obtained by the Littleton Independent shows there apparently was discussion of firing Penny as far back as May 21. In the exchange, the mayor appears to have told his wife that at-large Councilmember Peggy
PENNY’S PAYOUT Littleton will pay Michael Penny $72,981 in the wake of his firing, city spokeswoman Kelli Narde said, including a $22,150 severance, $26,220 in longevity pay, $23,242 in vacation pay and $1,367 in regular pay. His base salary for the current fiscal year was $172,661, a raise from the $150,000 he made when he was hired.

LAURA AHLUM
Wyoming, but better, in my mind. It’s a great ski town, with a great atmosphere. It’s gorgeous. It’s not like the rest of Wyoming. It was a great place to grow up, no doubt. I ski-raced growing up, and I taught skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. I was the youngest full-time ski instructor. I also worked at the hospital there as a certified nursing assistant.
About me I’ve been down here in Littleton off and on for about five years, but I’m originally from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I’m a server and bartender at Jake’s Kitchen Table on Main Street. We just opened up about a month-and-a-half ago, so not that long. But I’ve been working in downtown Littleton for over three years.
My hobbies I’m a painter, some of my work is on display at Grandpa’s Attic. I also do pretty much any sport you can think of. Climbing, biking. I used to have a motorcycle but I don’t anymore. It was a Honda Shadow 650. I would love another one. It’s a little bit harder here, but in Jackson Hole it was perfect because it’s such a small town. The highway is barely even a highway and there was no traffic. It was just a lot safer.
Back home It was awesome. It’s like the Aspen of

Council approves building moratorium 90-day freeze will give city staff chance to update zoning regulations
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton City Council has adopted a 90-day emergency moratorium on landuse applications in the zoning district that includes most of downtown while city staff evaluates zoning regulations. A special meeting had been called for June 14 to discuss the item, first suggested by Councilmember Debbie Brinkman at the June 7 meeting as the council talked about The Grove, a controversial mixed-use development at the corner of Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street that was issued a building permit in April. The council voted 6-0 in favor of the moratorium, with Councilmember Phil Cernanec absent. The Grove was approved as a use-byright under city code. Councilmember Doug Clark motioned last month to revoke the

site development plan and building permit for The Grove, drawing a legal threat from Zocalo Community Development. On June 13, Clark said the legal threat from Zocalo is not as clear as the developer’s lawyer wants it to seem, noting that the developer chose to begin work on the site while a lawsuit is ongoing. A group of citizens opposed to the development are currently suing the city and Zocalo for the right to appeal the decision, with a trial date set for September. Clark withdrew his motion on June 7 and the council met in closed session on June 14 for legal advice and to discuss having the board of adjustment look at an appeal of site. Senior Planner Carol Kuhn said the ordinance will stop new applications for site plans, subdivisions, rezonings and conditional uses for property in the B-2 zone. City Attorney Kristin Schledorn said it would not affect applications being processed before the moratorium was passed. She also said the moratorium can be extended. During the 90 days, the city will develop a workplan for an update of the B-2 regulations.

While her friends are preparing to head off to college, Alex Jackson is as well — but she’s going to a different type of school. On June 26, the 2016 Arapahoe High School graduate will head east for “Plebe Summer,” which will prepare her for her first year at the United States Naval Academy. “I’m so excited to serve this country, because it has given me so many opportunities,” Alex said. The opportunity to attend the Naval Academy comes partially courtesy of her soccer career — she was recruited to play there. “I’ve been playing since I was 3 and it was always my dream to play collegiate soccer,” she said. Alex passed on opportunities to play at other schools, such as Columbia, Cornell and University of California-Santa Barbara, in order to go to Annapolis in Maryland. Alex credits her soccer coach for her first three years at Arapahoe, Kirk Bast, with pushing her to do her best. “He honestly made me into the person I am today,” she said, calling Bast a tough coach not always liked by all of his players. “I adored him,” Alex said. Bast, now a volunteer assistant coach with the University of Denver women’s soccer team, said that he couldn’t have pushed Alex to be her best if that wasn’t already in her. “I’d love to take more credit for who she is,” Bast said. Bast gets a sense of satisfaction from seeing players “overcome a fear of success.” “Alex was a kid who found that in herself,” he said. The price of an education at the Naval Academy is a commitment to serve as an officer in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps following graduation — which Alex is excited about. She hopes to serve aboard ships as a surface warfare officer. “You get to travel the world,” she said. At nearly 6 feet tall, she’s already decided submarines wouldn’t be a good fit. Alex is unsure what she’ll major in at the academy, but said she loves math and science. Alex’s dad, Eric Jackson, is proud of his daughter. “I’m clearly proud, primarily because she came to this decision on her own,” he said. Alex is excited about what that decision will mean for her future. “I felt the need to serve a higher purpose,” she said. “And I feel like this school is going to help me do that, and it’s going to make me a better person along the way.”
What Filler Can Do For You. Laura Carlsen, RN • Colorado Skin & Vein
Smoother, More Youthful Looking Skin Fillers have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments on the market. Fillers, such as Voluma, Juvederm and Restylane, are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found naturally in our skin. With aging and sun damage, the amount of hyaluronic acid diminishes, leaving wrinkles, and sagging skin in its place. Filler can help to restore lost volume creating a more youthful looking face. The results are instant and the effects can last up to a few years.

Suspect in doctor’s slaying ruled competent Kevin Lyons is accused of killing his Centennial neighbor
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Centennial man accused of shooting his neighbor to death and wounding two others, including his own wife, has been ruled competent to stand trial following
an evaluation at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. Kevin Lee Lyons, 46, is facing charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder in connection with the April 4 shooting that killed Dr. Kenneth Atkinson and injured Elizabeth Lyons Lyons and Laurie Juergens. Lyons was ordered by Judge
Carlos Samour Jr. to undergo the mentalcompetency evaluation during an April 18 hearing. The evaluation was received by the court on June 14 and Samour ruled that Lyons can stand trial during a June 20 hearing. In contrast to earlier hearings, in which he interrupted the proceedings and said his public defenders did not represent him, Lyons was subdued at the hearing and only to spoke to answer questions from Samour.
Lyons’ public defenders did not seek an additional competency hearing or a second evaluation. District Attorney George Brauchler said that despite the ruling, Lyons and his defense could still enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Lyons will next appear in court on Aug. 5 for a combined preliminary hearing and bail hearing. He is currently being held without bail.
Study finds fewer teens having sex, abusing drugs Several risky behaviors fall, according to federal survey
By Mike Stobbe Associated Press The troubles with kids these days ... are not as common as they used to be. U.S. teens are having a lot less sex, they are drinking and using drugs less often, and they aren’t smoking as much, according a government survey of risky youth behaviors. “I think you can call this the cautious generation,” said Bill Albert, spokesman for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Among a decline in several risky behaviors, a sharp decline in sexual activity stood out to researchers. The survey found 41 percent said they had ever had sex, after it had been about 47 percent over the previous decade. It also found marked declines last year in the proportion of students who said they had sex recently, had sex before they were 13, and students who had had sex with four or more partners. The results come from a study conducted every two years by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The
surveys included 16,000 students at 125 schools, both public and private. Participation was voluntary and required parental permission, but responses were anonymous. Results were released June 9. National surveys have seen a leveling off in recent years in the proportion of kids who said they had sex, after earlier declines. That led researchers to largely attribute continuing declines in teen pregnancies and abortions to more and better use of birth control. But the new numbers suggest less sex is a factor, too. The drops are surprising enough that government officials said they’d like to see what the next survey shows to make sure it’s not a statistical blip. If it is a true drop, the reason is not clear why. “We’re trying to look at reasons why this might be happening,” said Dr. Stephanie Zaza of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who oversees the survey. One possibility, Albert said: “It may be that parking at Lookout Point has given way to texting from your mom’s living room couch.” In the new survey, about 42 percent said they played video or computer games or used a computer for something that was not schoolwork for more
than three hours per day on an average school day. Beth Mattey, who until last year was a nurse at a high school in Wilmington, Delaware, suggested a factor may be how much more common it is for teens to openly discuss sex and sexual orientation. “We want kids to have a healthy sexuality built around self-respect and self-esteem,” said Mattey, who is now president of the National Association of School Nurses. Why would more discussion of sex reduce the amount of sex kids are having? One theory: “Culturally we may have shifted away from sex being a taboo that adolescents would sort of reach out for,” said Beth Marshall, a Johns Hopkins University scientist focused on adolescent health. The survey found 30 percent of the students surveyed said they’d had sex in the previous three months, down from about 34 to 35 percent reported in each of the previous six surveys. About 11 percent had four or more sex partners, down from the 14 to 15 percent seen over the previous decade. And about 4 percent said they’d had sex before they turned 13, down from 6 to 7 percent. Other findings from the survey:
Family Owned, Family Run
Smoking Fewer than 11 percent of the teens smoked a cigarette in the previous month — the lowest level since the government started doing the survey, when the rate was more than 27 percent. But the fall is not surprising — another CDC survey has put the high school smoking rate at about 9 percent. Drinking Just under a third had at least one alcoholic drink in the 30 days before the survey, down from 35 percent in the last survey and down from 45 percent in 2007. About 63 percent had ever had a drink, down from 66 percent in 2013 and 75 percent in 2007. Vaping The survey for the first time asked about electronic cigarettes, which have exploded in popularity in the past few years. It found about 24 percent had used electronic cigarettes or vaping products in the previous month — a much higher estimate than seen in other recent CDC youth surveys. CDC officials noted that the surveys are done differently, so a variation in the numbers is not that surprising.

in 1994 as the Centennial Airport Business Association, created to advocate for aviation businesses in and around the airport. Over time, the group fizzled into a quarterly pilot’s lunch. In 2007, a group of businessmen and women formed CABA, a nonprofit organization with over 400 members as of August 2015, according mycaba.org. CABA advocates for the safety and operational effectiveness of Colorado airports, a media release says. It educates the public on aviation activities in the state and preserves and protects airport-related businesses. “Our mission is to promote the value of general aviation business around the state,” Straka said. “We decided to do a career day to expose young people to some careers in aviation.” The timing is ideal since Gov. John Hickenlooper proclaimed June as Colorado’s General Aviation Appreciation Month in 2011. For the event, CABA collaborated with Signature Flight Support, a branch of Centennial Airport equipped with a hangar and flight ramp. The setup resembled a career fair with booths and speakers from several aviation sectors, including the Air National Guard, Army National Guard, Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum’s Teacher Flight Program, Colorado Heli-Ops, Colorado Department of Fire Prevention and Control, and the Colorado Department of Transportatoin. Dave Ulane, the director of the Colorado Division of Aeronautics, oversees 74 publicuse airports across the state. His division reinvests state fuel taxes into aviation education through internship programs. “We are helping future aviators understand how cool a career in aviation is,” Ulane said at Aviation Career Day. There’s a shortage of pilots in small communities, Ulane said, because certification requires more training, hours and money. Commercial pilots who fly in and out of public-use airports, such as Centennial Airport or Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Jefferson County, must be at least 18 years old, hold a private pilot certificate

More than a dozen seniors spent 10 nights in a Red Cross shelter in the wake of the April 6 fire. On April 19, the building’s owner informed all 132 residents their leases had been terminated because the building would not be inhabitable for at least six months. Residents were able pack up and move out their belongings beginning on April 21 and continuing throughout the remainder of the month. The property owners were required to obtain air-quality samples before beginning repairs. On April 21, a report stated the building passed the tests, according to the city’s news release. “After obtaining approval from the (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment), the restoration company was able to begin remediation

Photo by Alex DeWind and have at least 250 hours of flight time. In 2014, there were 104,322 commercial pilots in the U.S. and in 2015, the number declined to 101,164, the Federal Aviation Administration reports. But some say it’s a reliable industry to pursue. “The future is bright,” said Chris Archuleta, crew chief of Colorado’s wildland fire management aviation program. “And jobs are available.” Archuleta got his Airframe and Powerplant License from Redstone College, based in Broomfield. He then worked for Bode Aviation, an aircraft maintenance program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He now works for the state of Colorado, leading fire safety and search and rescue missions. He uses a plane with infrared lighting capabilities that detects hot spots before a fire breaks out. “It’s a military-suited aircraft,” Archuleta said. Some, like Colorado Air National Guard Lt. Col. Mitchell Neff, find their passion for aviation at a young age. “I was first inspired after I saw the movie ‘Top Gun’ in 1991,” Neff said. He joined the Colorado Air National Guard out of college in 1993. He’s now stationed in Buckley. Neff flies the F-16 “Fighting Falcon,” a fighter aircraft that travels at speeds faster than sound. “It’s like a race car,” he said. “I don’t hear a thing when I’m out there.”
HOW TO HELP A fund was established through the Arapahoe County Foundation in an effort to assist those displaced by the fire. About $3,800 had been raised as of June 17. To contribute to the Southview Apartment Fire Victims Account, visit www.razoo.com/ story/Southview-Towers-Apartment-FireVictims-Fund in the area of the source of the fire,” the release states. “The remaining portions of the building were OK to occupy based on the report. However, it was the building owner’s decision whether to allow residents to re-occupy the building. The property owners are currently working on renovations and repairs to the building.” Southview Place Towers comprises two adjacent buildings that were built in the early 1970s, one on Windermere Street and one on Datura Street. The fire did not reach the Datura building. In February, the buildings were purchased for $30.5 million by Tebo-Orvis LLC, according to Arapahoe County property records.

Study
drops in the use of other illegal drugs like heroin (2 percent), cocaine (5 percent), ecstasy (5 percent), and hallucinogenic drugs like LSD (6 percent).
Continued from Page 4
Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Using marijuana A little under 22 percent of teens said they used marijuana in the previous month. That’s down a bit from the previous two surveys. The proportion who said they had ever tried marijuana, and who had tried it before they were 13, also slid a bit. The finding is considered mildly surprising, but is consistent with
Using prescription drugs About 17 percent of the surveyed students said they had taken prescription drugs without a prescription, in response to a question that listed as some possible examples painkillers like Oxycontin and Vicodin and ADHD drugs like Adderall and Ritalin. That statistic has been declining, but is still alarmingly high, Zaza said. To read the study, go to www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/ yrbs/index.htm.

Crave makes top 5 in burger challenge The Blended Burger Project is a nationwide contest to make a healthier and more sustainable burger
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Crave Real Burgers, which launched in Castle Rock in 2010, unveiled a new burger this month that has earned it a top 5 spot in the James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger Project, a nationwide contest to make a blended burger from ground meat and culitvated mushrooms that is healthier, more sustainable — and delicious. “I think it’s awesome,” said head chef and co-owner Jeff Richard. “We’re extremely happy and honored they (our customers) are taking as much pride in this as we are. There’s no way we could do this without our customers.” The new burger, the Drunken Mushroom, is available at all four Crave Real Burgers locations through July 31. Locals are encouraged to try the burger and cast an online vote for the Drunken Mushroom burger at bit.ly/ VoteForCrave. The contest ends July 31. The Drunken Mushroom consists of a patty made with 75 percent Colorado Proud beef and 25 percent sautéed, finely chopped shiitake and cremini mushrooms blended with fresh thyme, rosemary and garlic. Only mushrooms grown indoors can be used. The burger is then topped off with truffle mayonnaise, parmesan, gruyére and Swiss cheeses, ketchup and drunken onions with tempura-fried shiitake and cremini mushrooms on top. It’s served with a side of red wine-infused au jus for dipping. “The tempura-fried shiitake and cremini mushrooms on this burger really set it apart and provide a satisfying crunch with a deep and earthy flavor,” said Richard, who hopes the community will vote. “We want to win and show the rest of the country what Colorado is made of.” Founded in 1986, the James Beard Foundation celebrates, nurtures and honors America’s diverse culinary heritage. A cookbook author and teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge about food, the late James Beard was a champion of American cuisine. He helped educate and mentor generations of professional chefs and food enthusiasts, instilling in them the value of wholesome, healthful and delicious food. Today, the foundation administers a number of diverse programs that include educational initiatives, food industry awards and scholarships for culinary students, publications, chef advocacy training and thought-leader

Courtesy photo convening. The foundation also maintains the historic James Beard House in New York City’s Greenwich Village as a performance space for visiting chefs. The five chefs who receive the most online votes for their burger will travel to Beard House to cook their burgers in October. There are 333 participating chefs in the Blended Burger Challenge, 12 from Colorado. Other participants include Fruition Restaurant, Mercantile Dining & Provision, Old Major, range Restaurant and
TAG Burger Bar, all in Denver. With almost 4,000 votes as of July 15, Crave is the only Colorado burger in the top 5. Cedar’s Cafe in Melbourne, Florida, is in the lead with more than 6,000 votes. Burger lovers can cast a vote online once a day and also vote by posting their burger photos to social media with the hashtag #blendedburgerproject. “If we can get Crave from Colorado to represent a nationwide contest in New York,” Richard said, “I’m all about it.”

VOICES
LOCAL
Local efforts help with global impact Ghana is approximately 6,637 miles away from Colorado. That is a long way for sure, but the local efforts of some in our community are making a big difference in the future of the children living in Ghana, saving them from a life of slavery and helping provide a path towards education so they can improve their own lives. I know that many of you already support causes that are near and dear to your heart — causes and charities that you support with your time, talents, and finances. And that is awesome because at the end of the day it really is about being a difference maker in the lives of other people. This particular charity caught my attention because of the stories that I had heard and read about the children and their living conditions in Ghana. I was speaking with Steve and Donna, the owners over at Rose’s Bella Cucina in Castle Rock, about this as they shared what they were going to be doing to try and raise some money for the cause. Along with Carlos Miguel’s, Crave Burger and Lost Coffee, they are helping Castle Rock to Ghana in hosting a very cool event on Sunday, June 26, in the parking lot outside of the restaurants at 3960 Limelight Ave. in Castle
Rock from noon until 4 p.m. It is free to get in and this will be an awesome event with great cars and bikes on display, wonderful food, and super people coming together for a great cause. You will enjoy the company Michael Norton of other difference makers and you may WINNING even get an idea or two about what you could WORDS do for your own special charity or cause. There are all sorts of local opportunities to serve or donate to that can have a global impact. And there are many of the very same types of opportunities right here in Colorado and the United States that we can support, and where local families and people in need will benefit from our time, talents, and resources. So what does it really mean to be a difference maker? It means doing something, big or small, that will have a positive impact
on someone else’s life. Helping to make a difference in their personal life, making a difference in their professional life, or maybe making a difference in their spiritual life. Sometimes it is through a direct contribution of money, and sometimes it is donating some time and an extra pair of hands. It may even be just a simple hug or smile, or being there to listen and talk. Is there a difference maker in you? If so, please consider coming out on June 26 to enjoy the event and support the Castle Rock to Ghana mission. And although I have eaten in all of the restaurants listed above, I will be eating dinner on the 26th at Rose’s Bella Cucina — the food is fantastic, the owners are great, and the staff is incredible, and I hope to see you there. How about you? What are your thoughts on being a difference maker, either locally or globally? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can make a positive difference in someone else’s life, 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.

Army faces unexpected kind of war There is a war being fought in our communities by the U.S. Army. For background, Army recruiters are tasked by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command to provide men and women to voluntarily serve our nation, in contrast to a military draft, which Larry Beer ended in 1973. These recruited individuals must GUEST be intelligent enough to perform varied duties, COLUMN to think critically if given unlawful orders, to solve problems — sometimes under extraordinary stress — and to regularly adjust to new technology. One serious battle in finding recruits has to do with service eligibility of America’s youth. As recently as 2012, estimates were that less than 24 percent of 17- to 24-yearolds in America are eligible to serve. Some of the disqualifiers include obesity and lack of physical fitness, various medical conditions, criminal background and lack of education. With less than one in four youth eligible, it is a formidable battle to provide the U.S. Army with capable soldiers. There is also a substantial battle finding those willing to serve. In December 2015, Harvard University’s Institute of Politics published results from its 2015 Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes Toward Politics and Public Service. Among the 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed, 60 percent support troops fighting the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). But when asked if the U.S. needed additional troops to combat ISIS, only 13 percent would definitely or strongly consider joining. This indicates a motivational disconnect within a group that mostly supports military service, but who would probably — or definitely not — fight. Despite the aforementioned odds that work against Army recruiting, perhaps the most uphill battle involves negative attitudes toward military service. While you may see television commercials that superficially support soldiers, and you may hear people thanking those in uniform for their service, I can assure you that there is not large support for education about military service. Despite being armed with benefits such as free college, health care and retirement, Army recruiters often have

The boys of summer are better than the fools of fall The boys of summer are back in action, and I wish that I were one of them. I wish that I could spit sunflower seeds all over the place and not be punished for it. Craig Marshall Smith I wish I could talk into my glove QUIET during a conDESPERATION ference on the mound. After all, the stadium is full of spies. I wish I could point to the sky after every favorable thing that I did, because, of course, my guardian spirit made it happen. Baseball is a better game than football. I won’t get very much agreement on that point around here. The baseball team has had its moments, and that’s about all. The football team is adored. If you just went by the number of ugly orange shirts that were sold in this town, there would be no doubt that one team has it on the other one.
But I am not talking about the locals. I am talking about the games themselves — the layouts, the designs, the purity, the distances. It is still an accomplishment to steal a base. It doesn’t matter that baseball players have modern-day technologies in the training room that Pee Wee Reese did not have. It’s still a big deal to steal a base. The distances are perfect. From home to first to second to third to home to beer. A great game might end 2-1. Well played, poetic, and nuanced. Football fans, on the other hand, prefer a lot of Funky Chickens in the end zone. I was a Little League baseball star. Those were the happiest days of my life. Then my vision changed, and I didn’t do anything about it. I could no longer hit a fastball. I couldn’t hit a ball that was rolled to the plate. So I became a head coach. It wasn’t the same. But I got to wear a uniform. Baseball managers look the same as the players. It’s not like that in other sports. Kubiak isn’t in gear. Vince Lombardi used to wear a suit. It was before the khaki lobby took things over. Smith continues on Page 11

A little selfishness is OK when it comes to healing Here we are again — trying to understand and cope with another large-scale tragedy of violence, this time from the sunny city of Orlando, where there’s not only one “Happiest Place on Earth,” but several. So, how are you today? Many people go to the papers or TV news to seek every detail they can find to make sense of the motive of the perpetrator or logistics of the event. How could this happen? How did he get a firearm in there? Why did he choose that place and those people? Others go online to their Facebook or Twitter accounts scouting for the best post to share seeking connection with family or friends. What do other people think? What are the theories, assumptions, or hypotheses? What do the church, political, or community leaders think? Of course, this is common— going outside ourselves to seek understanding and meaning of it all. But in either process, we might be falling into the trap of

was frowned upon by society, family or friends.Or…? What about our own theories or our feelings? It makes sense that our brains want to figure this out, and it’s a great distraction for us until we get hit suddenly with an overwhelming feeling of sadness, anger, or depression, and don’t know why. Why am I taking this so hard? I didn’t know any of the victims, I’m not gay or Latina, or have ties to Florida. This doesn’t make sense. Yet as in “systems theory,” where everything is connected to everything else and nothing occurs without a reaction, we are all humans living together on this planet, making us all connected on some level whether we know it, believe it, or not. So as science tells us, of course we would feel the pain or anger of those strangers across the country. Some of us feel more intensely perhaps, but nevertheless, whether it’s conscious or subconscious, it’s happening.
For our Colorado community that well remembers, “We are Columbine,” “We are Aurora Strong,” or “#PrayforClaire,” this can be a trigger of reliving that pain all over again. Whether directly affected or from the secondary trauma of being a first responder or volunteer with any of those horrific events, it becomes imperative to be a little selfish. As the triggers reappear, remember to be gentle with yourself, take me-time for processing, healing, journaling, sharing with friends, or revisiting your counselor. Think for yourself, feel for yourself.

OBITUARIES BAKER
Kenneth Baker
Feb. 26, 1919 - June 19, 2016
Kenneth Baker was born on February 26, 1919 in Northwestern Missouri to Earl and Annette Baker. He attended school in Kirksville, Missouri and after graduation he attended college at Truman State University (previously known as Northeast Missouri State Teachers College) for 2 years.

Joceile Milligan Nordwall July 12, 1937 - May 24, 2016
Joceile Nordwall, a lifelong dancer, loving Navy wife, wonderful mother of three sons, and grandmother to seven. Born July 12, 1937 in Porter’s Hospital and preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Gatewood and Maxine Milligan, in-laws David and Lois Nordwall and sons Eric and Paul. She grew up in the family home known for love, faith and hospitality. Following graduation from Englewood High in 1955, she studied Spanish and dance at Colorado College, graduating Phi Beta Kappa and was a lead dancer in the schools ballet productions. Upon graduation, she married high school classmate Bruce Nordwall, who had just graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. As he pursued a career as a Navy carrier pilot, Joceile and Bruce relocated 10 times in the following 25 years. During that time she raised their three boys. She was a resilient mother through Bruce’s sea duty tours, his service in Viet-
nam and Eric’s, multiple heart surgeries. She taught her sons to be creative, to love, and to serve others. Always active in the local church, she introduced liturgical dance to a number of congregations. Her choirs used dance to express God’s love for people, and the people’s honest response to God through the joys and trials of life. For 25 years she also taught ballet to children and adults, deriving great joy from the time with her students. Each spring she choreographed and staged a musical among which were the Nutcracker, 1776, Oklahoma and Carousel. She loved travel. Among the adventurous places they visited together were Antarctica, Cuba, India, New Zealand and a number in Europe.

Don’t be a slacker about sunscreen, experts say By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

icole Shultz has two children, ages 5 and 7. Like most parents, she’s endured the task of putting sunscreen on small, squirmy bodies. “You want coverage that you can wipe quick and go,” she said. Shultz, of Highlands Ranch, uses easy-application options, including roll-on sticks and sprays. When her children were younger, she used sun protective T-shirts. “It makes it easier when you have wiggly bodies,” she said. With summer in full force, sun protection is crucial at any age. But in Colorado, with an average of 300 days of sunshine a yearand where the higher elevation increases the strength of ultraviolet rays, it’s even more important. Melissa Strait, an esthetician at Kalologie 360 Spa in Highlands Ranch, said using sunscreen is key whether
BY THE NUMBERS 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. An estimated 90 percent of skin aging is caused by the sun. About 23 percent of lifetime sun exposure occurs by age 18. About 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. People who use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher daily show 24 percent less skin aging than those who do not use sunscreen daily.

someone is intermittently in the sun or outdoors for hours. “Always wear sunscreen,” she said. “Wear a hat, drink water and if you’ve
had too much sun, sit in the shade.” The American Academy of Dermatology recommends everyone wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97 percent of the sun’s rays. “It is also important to remember that high-number SPFs last the same amount of time as low-number SPFs,” the American Academy of Dermatology says on its website, aad.org. “All sunscreens should be applied approximately every two hours or according to the time on the label, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.” Sun overexposure accounts for 90 percent of skin aging, the Skin Cancer Foundation reports. Ultraviolet light from the sun damages fibers in the skin called elastin, experts say. When elastin breaks down, the skin sags, stretches and takes longer to heal. Skin damage can develop over time as spotty pigmentation or wrinkles. “So while sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you’re
DID YOU KNOW? The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that with every 1,000 feet above sea level ultraviolet radiation from the sun increases 4 to 5 percent. Denver, also known as the Mile High City, has an altitude of 5,280 feet, which means UV radiation may be about 25 percent stronger than at sea level.

University Blvd., sells a medical-grade sunscreen called Elta, which comes in two types — tinted and clear. Tinted blends with skin tone; clear is ideal for sensitive skin. Sun continues on Page 13

Enjoying the camaraderie of nerds Being a nerd in Denver was a little more fun last weekend. Walking through the packed convention center of the annual Comic Con, seeing people dressed as their favorite characters, eagerly searching through boxes of comic books and pouring over collectors’ editions reminded me how freeing it is to wear one’s nerdiness in the open. Comic Con, held June 17-19, also reminded me how similar dedication to a scene or art form can be. Much like those at Comic Con, I’ve got drawers full of T-shirts of my favorite bands from Colorado concert stops and treat them like rare memorabilia that needs protection. I, too, have dug through crates for rare and hard-to-find additions to my music library. Like some of the people I spoke to at Comic Con, I can be a completist. If I find a band that I really love, I have a tendency to want to get their full discography, just like comic fans collecting their favorite characters or series. And I become wildly excited (even though I know it’s a cash grab) by collectors’ editions of my favorite albums. The debates I overheard about what

Both are gentle, esthetician Christa Kilbourn said. “Medicalgrade sunscreen is made specifically for your face.” Kalologie 360 also carries its own line made from natural ingredients, including aloe leaf and seaweed.

makes a particular writer’s or artist’s run with a character better than others reminds me of debates about which of The Yardbirds’ lineups was best or when Van Halen made its best music. There were conversations Clarke Reader about the incredibly LINER long run and different eras of Stan NOTES Lee (who finally appeared this year) that could’ve easily been about the many faces and phases of Bob Dylan. The longer I spent at the con, the more I realized it was the feeling of unity — of everyone speaking the same language — that is most alike in comic and music nerdom. I recently spoke to Ross Moreno, a Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design student and video game designer, about why he loves comic cons and their culture. “I’m always excited about Comic Con
adults, people with sensitive skin and athletes. “They have more natural components,” Shultz said, “and they smell better than any conventional sunscreen.” Aside from the aesthetic effects of sunburn — red skin, chapped lips, peeling — the sun’s rays can be detrimental to health. Ultraviolet radiation is a proven carcinogen, or cancercausing agent, the Skin Cancer Foundation says. And over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Basal cell and squamous cells, also known as non-melanoma skin cancers,
• Seek shade when appropriate. The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. • Wear protective clothing, such as a longsleeved shirt, pants, hat and sunglasses. • Use extra caution near water, snow and sand. They reflect the damaging rays of the sun and can increase your chance of sunburn. • Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet

because it’s the meeting place of my people,” he told me. “They’re the patrons of imagination.” I know exactly what he meant — I get the same feeling of camaraderie inspecting shelves side by side with other fans at record stores, or looking at the people around me at concerts. These are my people, and just like comic cons, music welcomes everyone: There are no prerequisites, no standards for ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. If the music moves a person, stimulates his imagination or makes her feel something, then we belong. Both music and comic culture are
about taking the artist’s emotions, dreams and ideas and giving them a form that can be shared and appreciated by anyone. Most people crave that feeling of belonging, of being understood.

are highly curable when treated early, according to WebMD. They make up 95 percent of skin cancers. The most dangerous skin cancer is melanoma, caused by abnormal skin pigment cells called melanocytes. It accounts for 75 percent of all skin cancer deaths, WebMD says, and if left untreated can spread to other organs. “Cumulative sun exposure causes mainly basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer,” the website says, “while episodes of severe sunburns, usually before age 18, can raise the risk of developing melanoma.” Prevention is the best protection, experts say. “The best way to cure sun damage,” Strait said, “is to not get sunburnt in the first place.”
OTHER WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN In addition to wearing sunscreen, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends the following:

that may include vitamin supplements. • Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. Although Colorado has no restrictions, 13 states and one territory have banned the use of tanning beds for all minors under 18. And at least 42 states regulate the use of tanning facilities by minors. • Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything abnormal about your skin, such as itching or bleeding, see a boardcertified dermatologist.

in different lengths for outdoor activities, such as fishing, hiking, golfing or gardening.
1. Sun-protective clothing: Some outdoor and athletic clothing brands now make ultraviolet radiation (UV) protective clothing, including Columbia, REI, Athleta and Patagonia. The material is lightweight and ideal for fair-skinned adults and children.
3. Supplements: Heliocare Sun Protection is a supplement designed to protect your body from the inside out. The main ingredient is an antioxidant-rich extract called polypodium leucotomos. Although it may help protect skin against UV rays, sunscreen is still a must.
2. SPF-protection gloves: Hands are often exposed to sun more than other parts of the body, so Solartex Sun Gear created fingerless sun gloves. The neutral-colored gloves come

Cole had lost confidence in Penny and was asking if other councilmembers had. Valdes responded he told Cole he was not interested in firing Penny at that time, with Susan Beckman advising her husband not to repeat what Cole had told him, but rather to “stay neutral and encourage others to act.” The mayor said that while he spoke to individual councilmembers, he said he did not speak to more than one at a time, and thus did not violate open-meeting laws. “The fact of the matter is there was no illegal meetings,” he said. But the president of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, a nonpartisan alliance that works to ensure transparency in state and local government, sees it differently. After reviewing a screen shot of the text message exchange, attorney Steve Zansberg said it looks like a violation of open-meetings law. While only two members of council took part in this exchange, he said it represents a “daisy chain” in which information was being shared among at least three councilmembers, essentially creating a private digital meeting place. Sunshine Laws state public business can only be discussed among three or more councilmembers in a public meeting. Issues at play Bruce Beckman denied that he, Clark, Cole and Valdes colluded to fire Penny behind the backs of Hopping, District 4 Councilmember Debbie Brinkman and District 3 Councilmember Phil Cernanec. “I would say that each councilmember came to the conclusion on their own,” he said. Bruce Beckman said May 21, a Saturday, was a day in which he had received several communications from councilmembers who were upset with Penny’s handling of several issues. Clark’s June 14 motion to fire Penny was seconded by Cole, and the mayor and Valdes joined in voting to fire Penny, with Hopping and Brinkman opposing. Cernanec was absent, taking part in the Ride the Rockies cycling tour. Clark said Penny and other staff members have shown a lack of competence, specifically in the urban-renewal process, citing an issue in which the council passed the Sante Fe-area urban-renewal plan on staff advice, and the plan included land that was not within the city limits. Clark is in favor of abolishing the urban-renewal authority, Littleton Invests for Tomorrow. Clark The same night that Penny was fired, council held a study session with the LIFT board and the planning board to discuss the authority’s future. Clark also has criticized Penny over city staff’s approval of The Grove, a controversial mixed-use development that has drawn protests from people who live near the development’s site at Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street. Clark introduced a motion last month to revoke the site-development plan and building permit for The Grove, prompting a legal threat from developer Zocalo Community Development. The council held an executive session on the night that Penny was fired to receive legal advice on the issue. Clark, who was mayor when Penny was hired in 2011, said he introduced the motion because he had been trying in vain for months to get a discussion of The Grove put on a council agenda. He said Penny had suppressed documents of the staff’s reasoning for allowing a use-by-right approval of the project since last August. “It appears to me that the city manager and his staff made some decisions that violated the city code,” Clark said by phone on June 13, the day before Penny was fired. One of these decisions, he said, is labeling the railroad corridor as a public right-of-way, which he said is incorrect. Hopping and Brinkman criticized Clark for bringing the motion to fire Penny with Cernanec absent. Hopping said that had Cernanec been there, a motion Brinkman

June 23, 2016 made to table the item until the next regular meeting would have passed, as it tied 3-3, with Valdes voting in favor of it. Valdes said that even had Cernanec been there, he should have recused himself due to a close relationship with Penny, which included presiding over the former city manager’s recent wedding. On June 20, Cernanec said he was disappointed in the decision to fire Penny and that he would not have recused himself. Cernanec said he had let the mayor know he would be gone and had also left a message with Cole, asking that any decisions on major topics be pushed until the July 5 meeting. “There was no big rush or something that couldn’t have waited a few weeks,” he said. At the meeting, Beckman spoke at length criticizing Penny, saying the city manager withheld information from him and other councilmembers about an investigative report by a Denver journalist into a January murder-suicide and the Littleton Police Department’s response to a previous domestic violence call at the home where it took place. Beckman Community reaction Former Littleton Mayor Susan Thornton criticized the decision to fire Penny, calling it a “sad and concerning day for the future of Littleton.” “It appeared to me that four councilmembers orchestrated the dismissal for very weak and personal reasons,” she said. Norman Stucker, former South Metro Denver Chamber and Littleton Business Coalition board member, also lamented Penny’s departure, saying he had been a business-friendly city manager in a city that, he says, has had a reputation for being unfriendly to business. “I think (Penny) had a vision for Littleton’s future,” Stucker said. Two of the major business moves under Penny’s watch were the opening of Breckenridge Brewery on Santa Fe Drive and a large, mixed-use project at Dry Creek and Broadway called Littleton Village that is amid development. Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association President Greg Reinke said the city manager position does not necessarily have a far-reaching effect on his group. “Does it impact our business? No. City council impacts our business,” he said. Littleton resident Paul Bingham, who has been critical of the city’s urban-renewal authority, said ousting Penny was necessary. “It is sad to see anyone lose their job,” he wrote in an email. “However, when that job is consistently not done well and leads to many undesirable outcomes, such as a poorly executed urban-renewal program (LIFT), huge building projects (The Grove) being illegally approved and gone astray, along with an end-justifies-the meansattitude, termination is in order.”
Council will decide next steps in search By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com With Michael Penny dismissed as city manager, the Littleton City Council now faces the task of finding a replacement. Deputy City Manager Mike Braaten, who was hired by Penny in 2012, has been named the acting city manager, and city spokeswoman Kelli Narde said council will have a discussion on finding an interim manager at the next regular meeting on July 5. Councilmember Doug Clark, who led the effort to fire Penny, when asked what qualities he would look for in a replacement, said, “I would start with integrity.” On the other hand, Councilmember Debbie Brinkman, who attempted to save Penny from being fired at the June 14 meeting, said she would look for qualities similar to his in a new manager. Brinkman said she wants a replacement to be established in the field, capable of building and supporting a top-notch staff and able to build relationships and work cooperatively. “Sounds like Penny,” she said. Councilmember Bill Hopping, who joined Brinkman in voting against Clark’s motion to fire Penny, worries that the move will make it difficult to attract quality applicants. “The best people look for the best situations,” he said. Historic Downtown Littleton Merchant’s Association President Greg Reinke said he hopes the next manager works cooperatively with the business community. “What I would hope for the city is whoever they employ next will come in, look at the lay of the land and get to know people before the come in and start trying to do things,” he said.
Penny served in Littleton for nearly five years By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Michael Penny was appointed Littleton city manager in August of 2011 and began that October, replacing Jim Woods, who served 12 years in the position. Penny, 47, left the same position in Frisco, which he had held since 2004, to take the job in Littleton. He also served as city manager of Ouray for two years prior to taking the job in Frisco, and worked in public works in Boulder. Penny has a master’s degree in public administration from University of Colorado-Denver and a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from California State University-Long Beach, as well as a certificate in state and local government from the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government.
Penny served as president of the Colorado Municipal League Executive Board in 2009 and the Colorado City/County Management Association Board of Directors in 2010. Penny said he doesn’t know where he will go next. “No plans at this time,” he said when reached by phone on June 15, the day after the city council voted 4-2 to fire him. Penny said he is proud of economic developments that have happened under his watch, citing Breckenridge Brewery’s facility as well as small businesses. He also said there have been positive changes to the city staff atmosphere. “I think the cultivation of our staff — moving our staff from a place where there was a fear of trying something new,” Penny said.

Small works are seen as ‘sketches’ by creator
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
“52,” an exhibit of sculpture by Shohini Ghosh, runs through Aug. 14 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton.
It started in 2014, she said, and has continued intermittently into 2016, carefully tracked on a calendar. Highlands Ranch sculptor Shohini Ghosh has created 52 small works of sculpture — mostly cast in bronze, plus a few cut from brightly colored sheet metal. She has spoken of them as “sculptural sketches,” created in the style of au premiere coup or “First Stroke.” The artist applies each stroke with the intention of letting it stand in the work as a final statement. “52” is open at the Littleton Museum now and Ghosh will lecture about it and lead workshops for children and adults later. In the meantime, she’s invited to participate in a wax symposium in Thailand later in the summer. Many years of experience give her the sureness of hand to work in this manner, relying on instinct. Themes are drawn from various moments in her life, with family and acquaintances. A man fishing speaks of her son who has learned to fish and is enthusiastic. A group of dancing women is inspired by a recent New York reunion with high school friends who date back to her growingup years in India. Birds relate to ones she sees as she drives around the area. A mother swings a child around happily and another reaches to pick up a little person — memories of earlier years when her two children were small.
Ghosh lectured at the University of Mumbai in India after completing bachelor’s and master’s degrees there. She aims in her own work “to record the most precious moments in the spectrum of human emotion and interaction.” In 2011, she installed two public art pieces in Changchun, China, as part of a summer international seminar. “History proves that art acts as an effective impetus for individual spiritual growth, civic development and community pride,” she writes. She has exhibited her work at the Littleton Museum; Sandstone Gallery, Laguna Beach, California; Lowry Art Center, Fort Collins; Hand Aretes Gallery, Truchas, New Mexico. And she has been commissioned to install largescale sculptures in public places such as Castlegar, British Columbia; China; Carbondale; Colorado Springs; Denver; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Mankato, Minnesota; Gillette, Wyoming; and numerous locations on the Indian subcontinent. Locally, her bronze, “The Red Dress,” was recently placed near the Victorian Water Lily pond at Hudson Gardens and she will soon place works in Breckenridge, Parker and Evergreen — as well as in San Francisco.

High tea and history converge in Englewood
Vintage home hosts old-fashioned formal event
A vignette with a stylish Victorian mannequin was assembled by Ida May Nicholl to decorate the room for the Englewood Historic Preservation Society Tea on June 12 at the Barker House. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The afternoon of June 12 was breezy and sunny as a large group of women wearing hats and gloves (and a few men who love history) gathered in groups on the spacious lawn of the Barker House for a few mini lessons in local history prior to -going into the large 1900s vintage house for a formal high tea. Homeowner Jeff Barker spoke about his beehives, which are tucked into a shady corner of his yard. Matthew Crabtree talked about the yetyoung Englewood Historic Preservation Society and the importance of identifying and preserving historic structures. Society members are working with the Englewood city manager on ways to do this, he said. The Cherrelyn horse car was Paul Skiziniski’s topic, plus an overview of early development by Thomas Skerrit, the father of Englewood, who planted an orchard round his 1860s Englewood home, still standing. And Skerrit dragged a log with horses to make a road to Denver so
goods could be shipped back and forth. David Gilbert told stories about Alexander Aircraft Company at Broadway and Floyd that built its own planes. Lindbergh wanted one, Gilbert said. Gilbert and Reed Underwood will tell this story in greater detail for the June 27 meeting of the Society (Englewood Library at 2:30 p.m. and Brew on Broadway at 6:30 p.m.) Soon it was time for tea, at tables set
with lacy white cloths and grandmother’s pretty, dainty china. Two costumed members of the Legendary Ladies entertained with their “life stories,” carefully researched. Ida May Nicholl arranged several mannequins with Victorian summer costumes at the corners of the living room to add to the atmosphere. Thirty-six paid guests — most in proper
hats and gloves — sat in the parlor and dining room and enjoyed an elaborate menu that included chilled strawberry soup, fruit cluster, cucumber open-face sandwiches, bacon, lettuce, tomato delicacy, egg salad elegant points, exquisite chicken/walnut croissant, turkey points with cranberry orange curd, scones, lemon bar, raspberry chocolate mousse cup, coconut macaroon and cardamon tea cakes. Eight or 10 society members and helpers worked in the kitchen and Lois Sollenberger provided background piano music. The Barker house is said to have been built in the late 1800s. The original owner’s name is lost due to a fire that destroyed early Arapahoe County records. At one time, livestock was raised on the property as adjacent land consisted of farms and ranches. Three small outbuildings served as housing for dairy and orchard workers. Jeff and Sharlene Barker bought the property in 1993 and have done a great deal of restoration work on it. (Sharlene Barker thinks about building a business of tea parties.) For information about the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, see historicenglewood.org. Prospective members are welcomed.

Hard work pays off for hurdler Rock Canyon’s Sloan gets nod as Girls Track Athlete of Year By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Emily Sloan reached her goals this season in an impressive way. The Rock Canyon sophomore won her second consecutive individual title in the 100-meter hurdles and also captured the 300-meter hurdles championship at the Class 5A State Track Meet, which was held May 19-21 at Jefferson County Stadium. Sloan has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Track Athlete of the Year after her performance in the state meet. She and rival Zoe Gilbertson of Mountain Range finished one-two in both state races. Sloan edged Gilbertson in the 100 with a time of 13.46 compared to 13.90 for Gilbertson. In the 300 hurdles, Sloan easily defeated defending champion Gilbertson by over two seconds with a time of 41.24 compared to 43.50 for Gilbertson. Sloan didn’t compete in the 300 hurdles during the 2015 season because of problems with a hamstring injury. She won the Continental League 300-meter hurdles championship in May at Sports Authority Stadium but didn’t compete in the 100 hurdles. “This was my first year of trying the 300 hurdles,” said Sloan. “I’ve done the 100 for years. My goal all along was to win the 100s and the 300s. “It took me a long time and training to keep my endurance up to get to that level. I learned to go over with my other leg. That was hard but it all paid off.” Sloan used to play soccer but her dad suggested that she try track, which she did. The track coaches immediate-

I had a PR
(personal record) in 300. My legs were healthy. I felt tired after the 300. It took a lot out of me. I did all the little things and was feeling good for the 100 finals.” Sloan, who has a quiet, determined demeanor, according to Rock Canyon coach Dan Davies, also has personal

State meet is nothing new for Lutheran runner Harris takes yearly honors as boys track athlete
Stubbings honored as Baseball Player of Year
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jordan Stubbings learned last year that he needed to work harder, so he spent a lot of time in the barn at his Elizabeth home. Stubbings, a junior at Legend, hit .230 as a sophomore baseball player. “Last year was first year on varsity, I was a sophomore, so I didn’t play amazing,” admitted Stubbings. “It told me what to do for the rest of my career at Legend. It helped me become the player I am now. “I took that season to heart and really worked my butt off over the summer. There were a lot of times I felt I could do better and I wasn’t performing like I usually did. I’m a player that was trying to be at the top of my class. I felt more a part of the team this year.” Stubbings hit .500 and led the Continental League with 32 runs batted in. He tied for league lead with six homers and was the leader with a .911 slugging percentage. He struck out only twice in 79 plate appearances. He has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Baseball Player of the Year. “I lifted a lot more in the offseason and I really trained harder than I ever had before,” Stubbings explained about his turnaround.
bests in the 100-meter hurdles of 12.15 at the 2016 Freddie Houston Meet of Champions on May 28 in Denver, an 8.39 in the 60-meter hurdles during the March New Balance National Indoors in New York, and in the 60-meter dash at the 2015 Air Force High School Indoor Open she recorded a time of 7.70.
Legend’s Jordan Stubbings has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Baseball Player of the Year. Courtesy photo “I did a bunch more skill work. “I’m lucky enough to have a barn where I live. I have a batting cage in my barn and every night I go out there and take about 100 or 300 cuts. That’s why my hitting went so well. I work on it constantly. I do my swing as an art work. I just try to perfect it every time I got out to the barn.
Lutheran senior Kent Harris knew what to expect and wasn’t overwhelmed. Harris made his third trip to the Class 3A State Track Meet May 19-21 at Jefferson County Stadium, and his experience was important as he helped lead the Lions to their third consecutive boys state title. He was on the top spot of the awards podium after four victories in the spring state meet. Harris, named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Track Athlete of the Year, won individual titles in the 100- and 200-meter races. He ran a leg on Lutheran’s champion 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams. He teamed with Harrison Tomko, Luke Arkell and Kharon Hall in both races. “Being at state before made a ton of difference,” said Harris. “We have big track meets throughout the year but never had a meet with that many people until state, and the atmosphere is so much fun. “I’m grateful for everybody that comes out to support track and field.

Athletic senior pushes through the pain Sasia, of the Highlands Ranch team, named Swimmer of Year By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com

was the 200-meter runner-up, but he had a winning time of 21.89 last month. “I was seeded first in all of my events and I just tried not to let that pressure get to me,” said Harris, who will head to Long Beach State to compete in track and major in industrial design. “I just tried to stay focused and go through the day one event at a time and focus on the task at hand. “I would have liked to run a little faster but getting used to the longer curves at Jeffco Stadium took some time. The times
Gabriele Sasia didn’t let his aching body prevent him from becoming a two-time state swimming champion. Sasia wasn’t feeling well at the Class 5A Boys State Swimming Championships May 20 and 21 at the Air Force Academy pool, but he still won his second consecutive 100-yard butterfly state title for the Highlands Ranch co-op swimming team. He also finished second in the 100 backstroke and has been tabbed as Colorado Community Media
South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year. “I was a little bit nervous — this was my last high school state finals,” said Sasia, who attended STEM High and Academy in Highlands Ranch his junior and senior years. “On Monday before the state meet, I had body aches. On Friday, there were aches and my body was filled with tension. It was just mostly body aches. I was coughing as well. It was graduation the same day. I felt so worn out.” As a sophomore, he had similar aches, and doctors told him after this year’s state meet that they believed it was a sinus
infection. “For the finals on Saturday, it got better but the body aches were still there. I didn’t feel well in the backstroke. I missed the first and second turns but at the last turn I started to catch up. “I just had to put my head down. I did a little better than I thought I could in the butterfly finals. I’m happy.” Sasia’s state-winning time in the butterfly was 49.32 seconds and his time of 50.15 in the backstroke finals was good for runner-up to Fossil Ridge’s Danny Kovac. Next season, Sasia will be attending Indian
River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida, on a swimming scholarship. Sasia won this season’s Continental League 100yard butterfly championships and helped the Falcons capture their second straight league title. “This season, there were a lot of ups and downs,” Sasia said. “There was a lot at school going on and I had to skip practices for school. Since it was my senior year, I had a lot of things to do before going to college. “Throughout the season, I was not expecting so much. I did feel more confident during the season than I did last year.”

in the 200 were not as quick as I would have liked them to be, but overall I felt I ran my races with my race plans and was able to execute what we had been working on in practice.” Lutheran boys track coach Darwin Horan pointed out that Harris’ impacts to Lutheran were not limited to track and field. “We’ve won three straight championships and he’s been an instrumental part of all three of them,” he said. “He’s a great kid and teammate and student. He’s president of National Honor Society. He’s a total leader. He’s the first kid to step up and help the younger kids. He’s been a team captain for the past couple years. He’s an artist. He’s won a bunch of awards in Colorado for his art.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 20, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Family and friends rally around as you confront an unexpected challenge. Some plans will have to be changed until all the fuss and fluster settle down. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creative gifts find new outlets for expression this week. Someone (a Libra, perhaps) has ideas that you might find surprisingly appealing. Pay attention. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll soon be able to restart those delayed travel plans. A financial matter you thought was closed could suddenly reopen. Be prepared to take swift, decisive action. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A romantic relationship takes an unexpected turn. You might be confused about how to react. It’s best not to be rushed into a decision that you’re not ready to make. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Don’t let your pride stand in the way of resolving an emotionally painful situation. This is a good time to deal with it and let the healing finally begin. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A workplace problem that you’ve been handling so well suddenly spins out of control. Don’t panic. You can rely on your good sense to help you restore order. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Wearing rose-colored glasses won’t solve a thorny personal situation. You need to take a hard look at what’s happening and then act according to the facts.
© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
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!
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Weigh all your options carefully before making any decisions you’ve been putting off. Then go ahead and plan a weekend of family fun. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While personal and financial situations continue to improve, some setbacks might occur. But they’re only temporary, so hang in there.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters dominate the week. Health problems raise concern, but soon prove to be less serious than you had feared. Things start easing up by the weekend. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Most situations are calmer now, both at home and on the job. But there’s still a chance that a co-worker will set off another round of unpleasantness. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) There’s no need to fish for compliments from an admirer who can’t say enough nice things about you. The upcoming holiday bodes well for family gatherings. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to compete, both on a personal and a sporting level, and you hate to settle for anything less than excellence. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
