New River Run gets juices flowing
Recreational facilities offer good times in and near South Platte
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com About 125 invited guests gathered for the Aug. 25 official River Run Recreational Facility opening, while perhaps proof of the project’s success was the fact that there were dozens of children on the playground and dozens of enthusiasts surfing the South Platte River.
The river amenities that made surfing possible drew a lot of attention. Garrett Dinnel came from Arvada to test his stand-up paddleboard in the whitewater created by one of the two chutes in the area. “This is just great and this kind of facility is long overdue,” he said as he waited his turn to go back into the whitewater. “This new facility is the latest amenity that is making the southwest area the place to go for fun adventure activities.” The Aug. 25 event culminated three years and a huge number of worker hours with the official
opening ceremonies for River Run, the recreational facility located just north of Oxford Avenue along the banks and in the water of the South Platte River. “This is an amazing project,” said Dave Lee, Englewood open space manager. “It turned out even better than I expected. It has so many features I expect it will be very popular.” Nancy Doty, Arapahoe County commissioner, said during the River Run opening ceremonies the project is an example of great unified cooperation.

A swing county in a swing state Once strongly Republican, Arapahoe now has a purple mix
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Amid the food vendors and festivalgoers, politicians and their supporters worked Main Street in an effort to sway votes. The recent sunny Saturday — Western Welcome Week’s Festival Day — in downtown Littleton was more evidence of Arapahoe County’s status as

a political battleground in the lead-up to the November elections. Not long ago, Arapahoe would never have been thought of as “purple” — a
mix of Republican red and Democratic blue. “Traditionally, going back years and years, Arapahoe County was very red,” county Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. Over the last eight years or so, though, as the county’s population has increased, so has its share of Democrats and unaffiliated voters — also a trend in Colorado as a whole. Now, those who don’t claim any party make up the largest voting bloc in the county, with Democrats close
Interim city manager discusses Santa Fe and Mineral intersection, infrastructure By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Littleton conducted its resident survey this spring, 48 percent of respondents listed traffic among the three most pressing concerns in the city, the most of any issue. Traffic was near the top of residents’ concerns in the 2012 and 2014 surveys as well. Interim City Manager Mark Relph, who is also Littleton’s public works director, said there may be some solutions to the city’s traffic woes. Relph, who says he has experience tackling traffic problems in his previous roles with Grand Junction and Shoreline, a Washington-state city near Seattle, was

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
LYNN PAULSEN Equine enthusiast, business owner
About me I’ve lived in Colorado for more than 18 years, so I’m naturalized. I’m an Army brat. I moved here from Texas, but I’ve lived in 13 different states. I own The Tack Shack on Littleton Boulevard, it’s a horseback-riding supply store. It’s been in business for 38 years. I’m the second owner of the store, and this January will be my 11th year. Horses, of course It’s been a lifelong thing. I think my first
word was “horse.” I have two horses, Mr. Bugsy and Mr. Rio. Both are retired now, but I’m a former dressage and cross-country rider. There are a lot of horse people around here, a lot of young ladies growing up riding and a lot of adult amateurs. Horseback riding is empowering, it’s athletic. It’s a beautiful connection between an animal and a human that you just don’t find with a cat. It’s kind of magic. It’s a wonderful sport and a lifestyle of country and fresh air and working hard and making progress. Girls’ weekend Horseback riding is certainly my passion. I also am part of a vintage trailer group called Sisters on the Fly. We take old RVs and we deck them out. It’s an all-girl empowerment group where we leave our husbands, our children and our dogs behind and we glam-camp on the weekends.

Scavenger hunt will return to Littleton
History-themed event offers chance to win cash prizes
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Historic Littleton Inc.’s blue ribbon-winning entry in the Western Welcome Week Parade — with vintage vehicles filled with costumed characters — reminded parade viewers that the 2016 edition of the Historic Littleton Scavenger Hunt will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 10 in downtown Littleton. Town Hall Arts Center will again be headquarters, open at 10:30 a.m. for participants’ registration ($3 per ballot, as in 2015). Cash prizes will be checks for $350, $200, and three at $100, to be mailed to identified winners. (Bring ID with you.) Additional prize winners’ names will be drawn for awards provided by Downtown Littleton merchants. The hunt starts at 11 a.m. Ballots may be returned to Town Hall as soon as sleuths are finished with them. Families may then enjoy visiting downtown’s shops and restaurants until 3 p.m. Winners must be present at the drawing. Ballots will include a map of downtown Littleton with 16 participating businesses; a small collection of photographs of architectural details to be identified; and clues to be solved by visiting 16 businesses recognized by signs on their doors.
The 2016 Historic Littleton Inc. Scavenger Hunt will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Littleton on Sept. 10. It will begin at the historic Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street, where ballots will be available for $3. Costume theme for the year is 1920s.
At these businesses, sleuths will find one of 16 historic photographs from the collection of the Littleton Museum. Each will have a letter on it and will relate to a clue on the ballot. The participant will mark the ballot with the letter identifying the clue. (The procedure will be explained when ballots are picked up.) Ballots are to be returned to Town Hall by or before 3 p.m., where they will be scanned for correctness. Correct ballots will go into a container and winners will be drawn and announced as soon as possible in Town Hall’s lobby. Dixieland jazz by Littleton’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Jazz Band will keep toes tapping while ballots are tallied. Some Downtown eating spots will have pictures of Town Hall for children to color in the week before the Scavenger Hunt day. They are copied from a Historic Littleton coloring book, originally printed by the Friends of the Library/Museum, that Historic Littleton Inc. will be republishing in the near future

LPS Foundation fundraisers coming up With STEM centers funded, group is focusing on raising mental health funds By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com With the completion of a four-year fundraising project at the end of last school year, the Littleton Public Schools Foundation is gearing up to raise more money this year while looking for new
funding priorities. The foundation finished transforming outdated technology labs at all four of Littleton Public Schools’ middle schools in May, turning them into STEM centers complete with 3D printers, laser engravers and computer-controlled machining tools, a $600,000 project. Foundation Executive Director Beth Best said the foundation will continue raising money for mental health services and will provide grants to teachers in the district, which it provided $30,000 worth
of last year. The first foundation fundraising event of the year will be the City of Littleton Charity Golf Tournament on Sept. 23 at Littleton Golf and Tennis Club. Best said the foundation netted $16,000 at the inaugural tournament last year. “It’s a lot of fun, it’s very casual,” Best said. On Oct. 30, the foundation will hold its Stride 5K, 10K and kids’ fun run, which is its second-largest fundraiser, behind the Spirit Dinner in the spring. The run
begins and ends at Littleton Museum, looping through the surrounding neighborhood and Ketring Park. The run raised $50,000 for the foundation last year, with more than 2,600 participants. “It’s just a really great community gathering,” Best said. “People are there to support the school, but they’re also there to do something active as a family.” For more information on the Littleton Public Schools Foundation and its upcoming events, visit www.littletonpublicschools.net/lpsf.

Lawsuit against Grove development dismissed
Judge sides with city in lawsuit over project By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A lawsuit by a group of Littleton residents seeking to appeal the city’s approval of a development will not move forward after a summary judgment was issued in favor of the city. The group Advocates for Littleton had filed a lawsuit against Zocalo Community Development and the city and a trial was scheduled to begin Sept. 1, but Judge Kurt Horton issued the summary judgment late on Aug. 29. “The lawsuit is over — we lost,” lead plaintiff Leah Burkett wrote in an email to her supporters. The group opposed the city’s approval of Zocalo’s mixeduse senior apartment project at the corner of Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street, called The Grove. Leah Burkett, who owns a house across Bemis from the site, filed the lawsuit on behalf of the group after city staff denied an application to appeal the approval to the Littleton Board of Adjustment. Opponents of The Grove have said that it is too large for the location and that it should not have been approved without public input. The city said it met zoning requirements and was thus a use-by-right project. Fallout from the approval of The Grove played a role in the city council’s firing of Michael Penny as city manager. It also led to an unsuccessful attempt by City Councilmember Doug Clark to withdraw the project’s permit, which drew a legal threat from Zocalo. Under an ordinance that will have a second reading and public hearing at the Sept. 6 city council meeting, residential uses in the community business district will require a conditional-use permit.
As a building takes shape at the future site of The Grove, a group of Littleton residents are still waging a legal battle against Zocalo Community Development and the city over the planned retail and senior living mixed-use project. Photo by Kyle Harding
Revisions submitted for Tuck Property plan Columbine Valley residents speak out against planned development, citing density, traffic and ‘character’ By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Despite revisions to the plan, Columbine Valley residents are continuing to oppose a plan to build 105 homes on a piece of farmland in the town. The 105-acre property, known as both the Tuck Property and Wild Plum Farm, has been under contract to be developed several times, each time facing opposition from neighbors concerned about density, traffic and homes “out of character” with the rest of the community. A recent meeting drew many Columbine Valley residents who are not placated by the revisions. Mark Brown said he and his family moved to the community for a “park-like atmosphere” and to escape traffic. “Wild Plum Farm should be a development that enhances our community,” he said. According to Town Administrator J.D. McCrumb, the latest plan, proposed by developer Garrett Baum, is the furthest that one has gotten. The plan is currently
under consideration by the Columbine Valley Planning and Zoning Commission, which expects to make a recommendation to the town’s board of trustees Sept. 13. The land is to the north and west of Cooley Lake, and access to the proposed development would require driving though the rest of Columbine Valley on either Fairway Lane or Hunter Run Lane. The original application, submitted earlier this year, included three access points, two on Fairway and one on Hunter Run. In two options for a revised plan submitted in August, there are two access points, one each on Fairway and Hunter Run, that are not connected and instead terminate in dead ends, leaving the development effectively divided into two. The revisions also adjust lot size, bringing the average size up from about 13,000 square feet to 17,000 square feet, which is slightly less than a half-acre. The plan has a density of one home per acre, making it the second-lowest density of all of Columbine Valley’s neighborhoods. However, critics say that would imply that there is one house to one acre, but open space included in the property means that is not the case. The homes in the plan are to be built by CalAtlantic Homes and would be priced from $900,000 at closing to more than $2 million, according to CalAtlantic
Services will celebrate life of Roscoe Davidson By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com A memorial service and celebration of the life of longtime educator Roscoe Davidson will be held at 1 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Hope United Methodist Church, 5101 S. Dayton St., Greenwood Village. The event is open to the public. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Davidson make donations to that individual’s favorite Davidson charity in his name. Davidson died Aug. 21 at the age of 89. He spent more than 60 years as an educator, including 22 years
as Englewood Schools superintendent and four years as deputy director of the Colorado Department of Education. He also was an adjunct professor at the University of Denver for 30 years. His wife, Mary Jo, said the family wants the event to be the celebration of the beautiful life a beautiful man lived. “I wish the event to honor Roscoe but I don’t want it to be a time of sadness. I know that would not be how he would have wanted to be remembered,” she said. “We have not named a guest speaker yet. We do not plan to have a lot of speakers talking about all Roscoe did because that just wasn’t him. That happened at other events and he always spoke last and the credit for the accomplishments belonged to everyone who worked with him and not just him.”
Colorado President Dan Nickless. A petition opposing the development that was circulated earlier this year characterized them as “tract homes” out of character with the rest of Columbine Valley. Nickless dismissed rumors that CalAtlantic would be building low-quality homes that cited statistics that show the builder’s average home price in the $400,000 range, saying that statistic is a
nationwide average. “It’s frankly not even relevant to the type of product we have planned for your town and will deliver to you,” he told the planning and zoning commission at an Aug. 23 meeting. Town Planner Phil Sieber said at the meeting the plan is compatible with Columbine Valley’s masterplan and that a traffic increase can be accommodated.

In House battle, presidential race comes into play
Democratic congressional challenger focuses on Trump to fight incumbent in CD-6
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com While Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, has attempted to distance himself from the party’s presidential candidate in his effort to retain the 6th Congressional District seat, his opponent is making an effort to tie Coffman to Donald Trump’s words. “I don’t care for him much,” Coffman says about Trump at the beginning of a television spot he began running in August.

behind, followed by Republicans. But it’s close, with each comprising at least 30 percent of the total number of registered voters. With its large population and diverse political makeup, Arapahoe County — along with neighboring Jefferson County, also a large, purple county — is expected to see plenty of attention from the presidential campaigns as well as the U.S. Senate candidates in the coming months. Meanwhile, voter registration for the rest of the metro area is strongly in favor of one party or another: Denver is a stronghold for Democrats, Douglas for Republicans. It’s closer in Adams County, but its registration figures lean heavily in favor of Democrats. “Both Jefferson and Arapahoe counties are critically important in this election,” said Colorado Republican Party Chairman Steve House. Arapahoe’s 333,000 active voters will be a big piece of determining which presidential candidate takes the state’s nine electoral college votes. Arapahoe is the third most populous county in the state, with roughly 632,000 residents, representing about one-ninth of the entire population of Colorado. It is also ethnically and racially more diverse than most of the state, with about 30 percent of the population identifying as AfricanAmerican or Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census. From GOP stronghold to voting for Obama The particularly divisive presidential campaigns of Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton make 2016 very interesting, said John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University. What he describes as the Donald Trump phenomenon could have a big impact on voter-turnout numbers. “Trump has a hard-core base that is going to vote for him, almost no matter what he does,” he said. “Then there are Republicans who don’t like Trump and have such a visceral dislike of Hillary Clinton that they may just not vote.” While both sides will put energy into winning Arapahoe County voters in November, voter registration figures seem to give the edge to Democrats. As of Aug. 4, unaffiliated voters made up the largest bloc in the county, at 34.4 percent of active registered voters. Democrats were not far behind, at 33.6 percent, with the GOP trailing, with 30.6 percent. Democrats are leading Republicans in new voter registra-

tion this year as well, with nearly 37 percent of 24,500 new voters from Jan. 1 to July 19 declaring as Democrats, compared to only 21 percent Republicans. The largest category of new voters — more than 40 percent — are unaffiliated. Crane said the unaffiliated rolls may be slightly inflated by “motor voter” residents, referring to people registering to vote when they receive or renew a driver’s license. But he believes most unaffiliated voters consciously avoid declaring a party affiliation. And of the 2,200 voters who have switched from unaffiliated to one of the major parties this year, six in 10 have registered as Democrats. But from 1968 through 2004, Arapahoe County was reliably red in presidential elections. In 2000, George W. Bush scored a decisive victory in the county, with 51.5 percent of the vote total to Al Gore’s 43.5 percent. Bush carried Arapahoe County again in 2004. The tide began to turn in 2008, when Democrats briefly became the largest group, partially owing to an effective voter turnout effort by the Barack Obama campaign, as well as fatigue after a two-term Bush presidency, many pundits believe. Obama won the county decisively in 2008, with more than 55 percent of the vote, becoming the first Democrat to carry the county since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Obama won Arapahoe County again in 2012. In 2013, unaffiliated voters became the largest bloc for the first time, and the three groups have each held roughly a third of the county ever since. For several months earlier this year, Democrats outnumbered unaffiliated voters in the county, possibly due, analysts believe, to people who
popular in the state, but Trump more so than Clinton, with 69 percent of registered voters in a Maris College poll expressing an unfavorable opinion of him. But 59 percent still find Clinton unfavorable, and the Coffman campaign is painting Carroll as the always-unpopular political insider. “It’s Nancy Pelosi and her Washington, D.C., cronies who are supporting Carroll,” said Coffman campaign spokeswoman Cimamon Watson. Watson said Coffman has worked to better represent his district and built a relationship with its diverse communities. “On any given day, Mike is in all corners of the district listening to people and working hard to find solutions,” she said.
supported Bernie Sanders in his bid to be the Democratic presidential nominee registering as Democrats in order to participate in the caucuses. Despite the Democrats’ registration advantage over Republicans, Aurora is one of the few municipalities in the county with a Democratic majority, but its large population of about 359,000 outweighs the more conservative cities, like Centennial and Littleton, in the western portion of the county. Centennial, with 69,000 active voters, 38.3 percent of whom are Republicans, is the largest majority-GOP city in the county. “Aurora is the great equalizer,” Crane said, referring to its 148,500 active voters. What to expect? Crane believes even voters turned off by the presidential candidates will vote in the state Legislature and congressional races, as well as the Senate race. “Both parties are encouraging people to make sure that they vote down-ballot,” he said. Marlu Burkamp, communications chairwoman for the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, said there is always more interest in presidential elections, but stressed the important of voting in all races. “It’s important to look at the whole ballot,” she said. “Everything starts local.” But Crane is aware of his county’s importance in the national election. “Colorado is an important swing state, and I would say Jefferson and Arapahoe are the two most important swing counties in this state,” he said. “That’s why we see a lot of campaigns pour in here, and they do a lot of legwork
Arapahoe and Jefferson counties have drawn national attention in the leadup to the 2016 presidential election, with both being named in Politico’s 25 “batleground counties to watch.” According to Politico — a news organization that covers national and global politics and policy making — both counties will receive numerous visits by the candidates and see many TV ads. The article notes Arapahoe and Jefferson counties are past Republican strongholds that voted for Barack Obama twice. It said Arapahoe County’s 19 percent Hispanic popula-
tion could present a challenge for Republican candidate Donald Trump. About Jefferson County, the article stated: “Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton need to shore up their bases here in a place where there are more unaffiliated voters than Republicans or Democrats and major party registration is at near parity.” Other counties on Politico’s list are in Iowa, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. The full article can be read at www. politico.com/story/2016/08/battleground-226780
Tight races expected in Arapahoe Arapahoe is a battleground beyond the presidential race and the U.S. Senate contest between Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet and Republican challenger Darryl Glenn. Pundits expect it to be home to two of the most heated contests in Colorado: the one for the 6th Congressional District — which covers parts of multiple counties but has the biggest chunk of its population in Arapahoe — and state House District 3, which includes Englewood, Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village. In the congressional race, Republican incumbent Mike Coffman is challenged by on the ground.” Straayer believes Democrats have the advantage, both in Arapahoe County and statewide, pointing out an increase in registration of more than 20,000 Democrats in the county since 2012, compared to about 9,000 Republicans. “This year, everything I’m seeing points to the state going for the Democrats,” he said. But as of Aug. 1, Republicans maintained a 964,738 to 953,042 edge over Democrats among active registered voters in Colorado. Unaffiliated voters outnumbered them both, with slightly more than a million among their ranks. As of Aug. 15, polling analysis website Fivethirtyeight.com projects Clinton will take 49.3 percent of the state total in November, with 38.8 percent going to Trump and 10.7 percent going to Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. A Marist College/Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted earlier in August showed trouble for Trump in several key states, including Colorado. In polls that included Johnson and Green Party
Democratic former state Senate President Morgan Carroll. Carroll’s campaign is working to tie Coffman, like Carroll, an Aurora resident, to Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, while Coffman has taken steps to distance himself from Trump. In state House District 3, Democrat Jeff Bridges faces Republican Katy Brown for the seat held by Democrat Daniel Kagan, who is in turn facing Republican and current Arapahoe County District 1 Commissioner Nancy Doty for the state Senate District 26 race — which is expected to be another tight race. — Kyle Harding candidate Jill Stein, Clinton led Trump 41 percent to 29 percent. Despite the polls, Trump’s campaign still says it can be competitive in Colorado. “We expect this to be a battleground state all the way through Election Day,” said Patrick Davis, state director for the Trump campaign, which has an office in Greenwood Village. Davis said the campaign has hired about 30 staff members in the state and is opening 10 offices. Democrats also say Colorado will be competitive and the Clinton campaign is not taking for granted that she will win the state. Kristin Lynch, a spokeswoman for Clinton’s Colorado campaign, said that although the campaign did not renew TV ad buys in the state, it is still hiring people and opening local offices, including in the south metro area and Jefferson County. “Colorado is very much capable of swinging in either direction,” state Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio said.

Third parties in the mix for unhappy voters Libertarians, Greens offer alternatives to major parties
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Democrats and Republicans aren’t the only ones reaching out to Colorado voters — the Libertarian and Green parties are hoping to target disaffected voters who do not care for either Republican nominee Donald Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “I think there are a lot of people on both sides of the aisle who have gone unaffiliated because they aren’t happy with how they’ve been represented by both parties,” Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. In a Marist College/Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll of 899 registered Colorado voters in August, 69 percent said they had an unfavorable view of Trump, while 59 percent had an unfavorable view of Clinton. That same poll showed an increase in support for the two most prominent outsider candidates since last month, with 15 percent saying they would vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson, an increase of two points from July, and 6 percent saying they would vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, also an increase of two points. State Libertarian Party Chair Jay North said his party — by far the largest outside of the Republicans and Democrats — has seen an uptick in donations as well as interest in Johnson, a former Republican governor of New Mexico and businessman who captured 1.38 percent of Colorado’s vote in 2012. “A huge amount of people are looking at different opportunities,” North said. But Libertarians aren’t alone in trying

Source: Colorado Secretary of State’s website, www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/VoterRegNumbers/VoterRegNumbers.html to draw Republican support. Democrats are aware of the state’s swing potential — it was carried by George W. Bush twice, then twice by Barack Obama — and are hoping some Republicans dislike Trump enough to vote for Clinton. “Clearly we’ve got a two-party system,” state Democratic Party Chair Rick Palacio said, when asked why anti-Trump Republicans would vote for Clinton rather than Gary Johnson. “This race is going to come down to a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.” Palacio noted that Colorado Republicans largely oppose Trump, with the state’s delegation mostly supporting U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at the Republican National Convention in July. Also running as an alternative for antiTrump conservatives is independent Evan McMullin, a largely unknown former CIA
officer and Republican policy adviser who jumped into the race on Aug. 8 and made his way onto the Colorado ballot on Aug. 11. In addition to Johnson, Libertarians are running a challenger in the U.S. Senate race, Lily Tang Williams, of Parker. The Libertarian Party — championing limited-government ideals — may seem to be the obvious choice for conservative voters who dislike Trump, but North said disaffected Bernie Sanders supporters have also shown interest in Johnson. The Green Party, with its progressive platform, is hoping to position its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, as the alternative for Sanders supporters who do not like Clinton. The retired doctor received 0.29 percent of the state’s vote in 2012. Although most of Colorado’s Democratic delegates preferred Sanders, a Vermont
U.S. senator who ran to Clinton’s left, Clinton is the party’s nominee, and Palacio believes most Sanders supporters will vote for her. The Green Party also has a U.S. Senate candidate, former Eagle County Commissioner Arn Menconi, and a challenger to Republican incumbent Mike Coffman and Democrat Morgan Carroll in the 6th Congressional District race — Aurora resident Robert Lee Worthey. North said that high numbers of unaffiliated voters in counties like Arapahoe and Jefferson can be misleading, as most of them end up voting with the major parties. Colorado is the birthplace of the national Libertarian Party, and it is by far the largest third party in the state, but still makes up less than 1 percent of voters, while the Green Party accounts for only about a quarter-percent.

Mother continues daughter’s legacy by helping others Sept. 10 fundraiser will benefit CURE International By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Margie Schoedel’s daughter, Rebecca Yarberry, had proposed the idea of the two of them going on a volunteer trip with CURE International, a nonprofit organization that operates hospitals and programs in 29 developing countries around the world. Schoedel was skeptical at first — the trip was to Honduras, a Central American country with high rates of crime and violence. In 2007, Schoedel gave in and promised her daughter she would accompany her on the next trip in 2009. But Yarberry — an EMT — was killed in a car accident on I-70 two months later. Schoedel did go to Honduras in 2009, but not for the reason she had once planned. She went for a dedication ceremo-
ny. The CURE International Hospital had named its children’s wing after Yarberry. In 2011, Schoedel took her first volunteer trip to Honduras. Everyone in her group, she said, had a story about her daughter. “She touched a lot of people’s lives,” said Schoedel, who recently retired as a learning specialist in Douglas County schools. After Yarberry’s death, Schoedel and her husband, Bob, started a nonprofit foundation called Becky’s Blessings to raise awareness of the medical needs of children in developing countries. The foundation supports organizations that provide medical treatment and humanitarian aid around the world. And on Sept. 10, Becky’s Blessings is hosting its fifth annual “Run for One” 5K and 2K to raise money for CURE International. The fundraiser starts at 9 a.m. at Mountainview Community Christian Church, 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway at the Highlands Ranch Parkway and South Broadway intersection.
The race is to remember Yarberry, spread awareness and raise money for CURE’s medical procedures, the Schoedels said. Yarberry, who was just shy of 28 at the time of the accident, had been taking trips with CURE International every two years since 2005. She aspired to be a physician’s assistant and had a love for babies. She came back from her first trip to Honduras a different person, Schoedel said. “She was happier — she found her purpose,” Schoedel said. CURE International formed in 1996 and two years later opened its first hospital in Kenya. The Christian healthcare network now operates 19 hospitals and pediatric surgical programs in 29 countries. A few of CURE’s treatments include clubfoot, bowed legs, scoliosis, hydrocephalus, cleft lip and infant deliveries. To date, the nonprofit organization has had more than 2.9 million patient visits, provided more than 218,000 surgeries and trained more than 8,100 medical profes-
sionals, according to a media release. CURE — which has about 1,500 employees worldwide serving in hospitals and clinics and 60 staff members in the U.S. — is entirely dependent on donations from individuals and organizations, said Paul Goldsmith, vice president of marketing. “The more folks who are aware,” he said, “the more we can heal.” About two weeks ago, the Schoedels volunteered with CURE International in Zambia, South Africa. They met many children with hydrocephalus — a condition of excess fluid in the brain that results in swelling of the head. They took thousands of photos on the trip to remember the experience and the patients. Schoedel said she loved rocking the babies — just as her daughter did. They carry on Yarberry’s legacy by helping others. “We still find out stories from people that knew her around the world,” Bob Schoedel said. “Wherever there was a need, she filled it.”

Can we talk? No, really, can we talk? I am sure that this has never happened to you, but I know it has happened to me and at least a few other people that I know. What I am referring to is when an email or a text is misread, misinterpreted, or where tonality was added to the message where no tonality was intended. We all know what happens when these types of digital exchanges occur. People read something into the message and their feelings get hurt or they become angered and immediately the volley of texts and emails becomes terse and an unintentional consequence is the result. In some cases these communication exchanges have been so severe that they have strained or even ended friendships and have driven wedges between family members. Recently I found myself entangled in such a miscommunication web of frustration and turmoil. And with the very best of intent and frequent requests for a one-on-one call, the person who I was exchanging emails with just wanted to continue the battle of wits, words and wisdom via emails. The person I found myself in an unintended battle with is one of the nicest and sweetest people I have worked with for the past six years. So I went back and reread my initial email and all subsequent messages to see where she might have misunderstood my meaning or where something was lost in translation. Finding nothing in the trail of emails that I felt could have been misconstrued, I asked once again for a call. What I received was one more shot across the bow.
My request, “Can we talk?” apparently fell on a deaf keyboard. So I did the only thing I could, I called her. And we spoke. The outcome was far different and we were able to clear the air, accomplish the business task at hand, and preserve our friendship and Michael Norton working relationship. But how often is this WINNING happening? Too often. WORDS When I find myself in conversations with people around my age we frequently joke about what we did before mobile phones, devices and email. We went and visited our family and friends and we talked. Or we called them on the phone and shared the events of the day or the week. Either way, in person or over the telephone, as we spoke we could easily tell by their tone of voice if they were happy, sad, mad or hurt. And in any situation, most times nothing was lost in translation; it was actually abundantly clear. The digital age has created efficiencies and offers us access to information at our fingertips, and that is awesome. Unfortunately, it has also delivered that unintended consequence of relying upon and teaching us to communicate through an electronic platform
instead of person-to-person. Texts and emails have their place and do save us time. They are great for sending quick messages or requests or getting family updates in times of urgent and important matters. Using emoticons to send a quick “heart” or “flower” or happy face to a friend or loved one is great as an addition to showing our love, but it should never be used to replace that interpersonal connection and a live voice-to-voice or person-to-person conversation. Just imagine how wonderful you feel when you get that emoticon happy face or quick “I love you” or “just thinking about you” text. Now I ask you to think about and remember how much better it feels to actually receive a call from that same person who says, “Hey, I am running into a meeting, but before I do I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me and that I was thinking about you today.” Nothing lost in translation there. So how about you? Have you gotten into the habit of just relying on texts and emails to communicate or do you make it a point to have that personal interaction? Either way I would love to hear all about your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can talk instead of text, it really will be a better than good day. 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.

Making the best of making a mess I have a leaky roommate. That’s a discreet way of saying that my dachshund, 12, is urinating where he shouldn’t, like those Olympics swimmers.

Be smart when preparing for Medicare enrollment period For Medicare recipients, the time is fast approaching when you need to dust off and update your prescription list and evaluate whether your current coverage is still meeting your needs. The annual enrollment period for Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (prescription drug) plans begin Oct. 15. This is a time when you can enroll, disenroll or change your coverage. Although new plan information for 2017 typically is not available until Oct. 1, start thinking about how well your coverage worked for you in 2016. For most people, changes you make from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 will be effective Jan. 1, 2017. Update your prescription list including name of medication, dosage and frequency. Talk to your doctor about your options. Do you need a brand name or will generic work as well for you? After you update your list (especially if not all of your medications are filled at the same pharmacy), talk to your pharmacist about possible duplications (more than one drug for the same purpose unintentionally being used together) or potentially harmful interactions between medications. Don’t forget to share a complete updated list with all of your doctors. It’s also a good idea to keep a current list in your wallet and give a copy to a spouse or other family member in case of an emergency. How you get your Medicare Part D prescription coverage depends on how you get your medical coverage. If you have original Medicare, you get your prescription cover-
age by enrolling in a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan. If, however, you have a Medicare Advantage plan (or other Medicare managed care plan), you usually get your prescription coverage through that plan, so you won’t need a separate Kimberly Latta stand-alone prescripGUEST tion drug plan. Be advised that if you are COLUMN enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and join a stand-alone Part D plan, you will be disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage plan and returned to original Medicare. If you are intentionally moving from a Medicare Advantage plan back to original Medicare, make sure you understand the consequences of doing so, as you may end up with substantial out-ofpocket costs. No matter if you get you prescriptions through a stand-alone plan or as part of a managed care plan, make sure that the plan will still be a good fit for you in 2017, as plan details and costs change from year to year. Verify that your pharmacy will still work with your plan and that your medications Aging continues on Page 11

Racers get together at reunion in Englewood Hundreds gather at the Aug. 28 Englewood Speedway Reunion

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Comments like “remember the 1973 race” and “I remember driving against you back then” were common Aug. 28 as hundreds of drivers, pit crews, families and spectators gathered for the Englewood Speedway reunion at the Englewood Elks Lodge. The lodge and area was crowded with people and the parking lot was filled to capacity with a wide variety of race cars from past eras as well as from racing today as the focus was on the days of racing at Englewood Speedway, which was located at Oxford Avenue and Federal Boulevard. It opened in 1946 and closed at the end of the 1979 season when the land was sold for redevelopment. Dave Chapman drove a 1934 Ford in the stock car competition from 1964-66. “The whole family was involved in racing at Englewood Speedway,” he said. “Dad and both my uncles raced. It was a great time and I loved it.” The Elizabeth resident is among a number of speedway drivers who still are in the cockpits of open-wheel cars competing in the Colorado Vintage Racing Association events. Chapman said it is fun because the races are a chance to go enjoy playing and competing. The event drew people from all over Colorado as well as from a number of surrounding states. For example, the Martinez family came from Tucson, Arizona, for the event. Twin brothers Terry and Jerry Martinez, their dad and their uncle all competed in the figure-8 races.

are still on the formulary (list of approved drugs) for that plan. Other details like tiers, pre-authorization requirements and quantity limits can also change. Even if you don’t take any medications, don’t assume that the plan you have will still be the least expensive one next year. If you don’t have Medicare prescription drug coverage (or other creditable drug coverage from another source), know that you could incur a penalty should you choose to enroll after your initial enrollment opportunity If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare managed care plan (or want to join one), make sure your physicians and other providers are part of the network. Even if they are, understand that the situation can change, even in the middle of the year. You may want to ask the company if they intend to make any

The result is calligraphy. It’s both amusing and rather beautiful. And it can be lengthy. His record is 31 feet. I marked it with pebbles on the greenbelt sidewalk, and went back home and got a tape measure. By the time I returned, it had evaporated, so I don’t have any more evidence than my word, a little like the old man’s tale about his fish in “The Old Man and the Sea.” Smitty was adopted when he was 5, and I was already well into retirement. That meant that I could spend a lot of time with him. “Very needy,” they told me at the ani-
“Dad drove the first car for us in 1968 and we raced every season until the track closed after the ‘79 season. We won our share of trophy dashes, races and championships,” Terry Martinez said. “Figure-8 racing was a lot of fun. We were all at the track every weekend and we wouldn’t have missed this reunion for the world.” He said he is having so much fun renewing old friendships with fellow drivers. “Friendship was on hold on the track,” Terry Martinez, a former Lakewood resident, said. “But in the pits and after the races everyone was friends. If a racer had a problem or needed a part, someone would step up to help the driver he would be competing against later that evening.” Charlie Codner started the track and
later his sons Don and Rich handled the operations. Lisa Codner, Rich’s daughter, said the reunion was a great idea and long overdue. “I love seeing all the drivers and people we knew when the track was in operation,” she said. “There is a lot of history here today and I am learning a lot about the track and even about my family from talking to these folks.” Englewood resident Dale Moore organized the reunion. “My dad was a racer and the track welder so the family was always there. My parents took me to the track when I was a few weeks old and I was there every season until the track closed in ‘79,” he said. “The reunion is something I wanted to do 15 AITON

mal shelter. No kidding. They separate him at the animal lodge. He never learned how to play with his classmates. Like father like son. When he dampens the floor, he shows no signs of guilt. None. I think he just says, “Job done,” to himself, and moves on. At first it upset me. In fact, it angered me. He has a dog door, and he knows how to use it. He has a sufficient backyard. He’s not interested. Perhaps if I had a family or frequent gatherings, it would be a serious problem. I don’t. Otherwise, he is fine little German gentleman. Everything else he does contributes to a happier home. He doesn’t track in mud, for one thing, or drop dead rodents at my feet, chew on table legs, or swipe the remote.

The Englewood Historical Society did a little event a few years ago so I decided to see what I could do.” He said he put out the word about his idea in February and received a huge response. “I posted the idea on Facebook and immediately got responses asking where and when,” he said. “We worked hard, got things together and today we had our reunion. We have a great turnout. The event has been wonderful and it has been so much fun.” Moore said he wanted to kick back, relax and enjoy the success of the event for a while but did hint there could be another reunion sometime in the future.
Donald J. Aiton
October 11, 1942 – August 15, 2016 Senior Chief Fire Controlman USN
Don passed away Monday peacefully at home with loved ones. Don was born and raised in Englewood Colorado to William R. and Barbara (Duncan) Aiton. After school Don joined the Navy. After retiring from the Navy Don started working for NASA and Defense Contractors. During Don’s time as a defense contractor, he participated in the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). His contributions to the development of UAV technology gained recognition from the Smithsonian Institution in 2008, when Don was named a pioneer of the field. His contributions can be seen at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution to this day. Don’s modesty would never have allowed him to boast about his many achievements. Don loved golf, sports, politics, motorcycles and the American Legion. He also loved to travel to visit family and friends. Don had many friends that knew and loved him as did all his family. He was proud of his grand-

ob Carbone has owned four German shepherds, but he says something was different about Ziggy-Bob — he was gentler than the others from the beginning. “My wife said it would be a shame not to share him,” said Carbone, who lives in Elbert County. For more than seven years, Carbone and Ziggy have visited patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital. They are just one of 24 different owner/dog teams who make up the hospital’s therapy dog program. “People just love the animals,” said Catharine Bartley, the hospital’s volunteer services manager. Use of therapy dogs in hospitals began in New Jersey in the 1970s, according to Therapy Dogs International, under the guidance of registered nurse Elaine Smith. In addition to the Littleton Adventist program, its sister hospital in Castle Rock started a therapy dog program earlier this year. Valerie Ross, chief development officer of the Castle Rock Adventist Hospital Foundation, said the Angel Paws program has eight dogs. Parker Adventist hospital spokeswoman Rachel Robinson said the hospital is looking into starting a similar program. Patients and staff alike gushed over Ziggy as Carbone led him around the hospital and over to Mile High Oncology, where they visited cancer patients. “I’ve never seen this fail to bring
a smile to a person’s face,” said Jerry Mollendor of Centennial, who was accompanying his cousin, Jean Stark, on her appointment at Mile High. “I love animals,” Stark said. “I think most people do and I think it breaks up the stuff that’s going on around here.” Leaving the center for the day, Carbone talks about the smiles that spread across the faces of patients when they saw the 111-pound German Shepherd walk into the room. Doris Cruze said that a visit from a dog made a big difference for a relative of hers at Littleton Adventist recently. That dog was Gipper, a golden retriever, and he has been visiting the hospital for almost nine years alongside his owner, Jim Rudy, of Lone Tree. “I have so many stories of the wonderful people we’ve met,” Rudy said. Rudy’s adult children got Gipper for him as his own therapy dog while he was recovering from heart problems that nearly killed him. Gipper’s litter was training to be service dogs, but he had epilepsy and thus was unfit for that duty. He is Rudy’s third golden retriever. “I really love dogs, but Gipper is probably my closest one,” he said. When he found out about the program at Littleton Adventist, he applied to be part of it. He takes part in the program because it helps him bring joy to people who are facing tough situations, but he gets joy out of it as well. “It makes me feel so good,” he said. Rudy and Carbone tell similar stories about their experiences bringing their dogs to the hospital. They have
CRITERIA FOR THERAPY DOGS AT LITTLETON ADVENTIST While there are 24 owner/dog teams who visit patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital, becoming one isn’t easy, said Catharine Bartley, the hospital’s volunteer services manager.
Handlers must: • Be at least 21 years old
For starters, there is a waiting list just to be considered, due to the program’s popularity. In addition, dogs and owners alike must meet a few requirements.
Volunteers also must commit to visit at least twice per month. Bartley said the handler must pass a phone interview before being invited to the assessment.
Dogs must: • Be at least 3 years old
“They have to have a certain temperament to be in this program,” she said of the dogs.
• Complete a temperament approval test every year • Pass a veterinary exam and have up-todate vaccines
stories of sick children or terminal cancer patients who the nurses said cracked a smile for the first time in weeks upon seeing a dog in their hospital room. Bartley said the program has proven so popular that there is a waiting list for new teams. Zippy, Gipper and the rest of the dogs have to meet a set of criteria. They must be at least 3 years old. The owners are interviewed over the phone. They and their dogs then move onto an assessment that makes sure they can interact with patients and hospital staff. The dogs also must have a veterinary exam once a year. Once approved, the owners commit to visiting twice a month. “There’s a lot more to it than just getting a dog on a leash and walking through a hospital,” Rudy said.
• Pass a background check • Undergo hospital orientation
Bartley said that due the stringent requirements, the program has never had a behavioral incident.
IN MEMORY OF ZIGGY-BOB Ziggy-Bob, a German shepherd who spent seven years visiting patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital, died on Aug. 18 from a fast-spreading form of cancer, said his owner, Bob Carbone. Ziggy-Bob, Carbone’s fourth German shepherd, was 11 ½ years old. In addition to losing his beloved dog, Carbone is sad to no longer be able to volunteer in the hospital’s therapy dog program. Over the years, Ziggy-Bob and Carbone had visited countless patients. “I don’t know how many lives he touched,” Carbone said.

Traffic Continued from Page 1
recently invited to participate in a “community conversation” hosted by the group Sunshine — a localgovernment watchdog — on traffic. One place that comes up in almost every conversation about traffic in Littleton is the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. About 50,000 cars pass through the intersection on Santa Fe every day, and about half that many on Mineral, leaving long backups at the traffic signal. Relph said that the intersection would likely be graded as an “F” under Amercian Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials level of service standards,
meaning frequent slowing. Growth that includes Sterling Ranch — a planned community in northwest Douglas County expected to house more than 30,000 residents in 20 years — and the potential development of property around the Mineral RTD station means traffic on both arterials is likely to increase. Relph said developer impact fees will not be adequate for offsetting the increase in traffic. Though Santa Fe is a state highway, Relph said the state can’t be looked to to solve the issue. “Nobody’s coming to the rescue,” he said. “CDOT is not going to come with a big bag of money and fix that intersection.” According to Relph, while the city would not be able to afford the kind of work needed to fix the intersec-
River Run Continued from Page 1
She said the project became a reality through the efforts of the South Platte River Working Group. The group membership is made up of individuals representing Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton, Arapahoe County, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers. The group’s proposals are aimed at creating more recreational opportunities along the seven miles of the South Platte River that run through Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan. River Run is the first major project un-
SURVEY IDENTIFIES RESIDENTS’ CONCERNS In the Littleton resident survey conducted earlier this year, traffic topped the list of biggest problems Littleton is facing, while several other traffic-related problems made the list. Respondents were asked to identify up to three issues they believe will be most pressing for tion, federal grants could help. “We can solve that problem at Santa Fe and Mineral,” he said. “It takes a heck of a lot of dedication over time and a lot of partnerships.” Relph said the city would have to complete environmental reviews of the effect any work would have before applying for any grants. While smaller improvements to the area could include improving the inter-
dertaken and includes a playground, pavilion, trailhead and restrooms set along the eastern bank of the river. Crews have transformed and beautified both banks of the river, and paved trails provide ADA access to the banks of the river, where the chutes create whitewater for tubers, boaters and surfers. Grants from Arapahoe County Open Space fund as well as money Englewood received from the open space fund and from lottery funds provided the roughly $800,000 needed to construct the trailhead. Another trailhead amenity was funded recently when Great Outdoors Colorado approved Sheridan’s grant request for $350,000 to construct and equip the playground adjacent to the river. Bev Bradshaw, former Englewood mayor and member of the South Platte
the city in the next two years. Traffic in general was chosen by 48 percent of respondents, the most of any issue, while 37 percent chose street maintenance and 16 percent chose traffic light synchronization. Non-traffic issues that were frequently chosen include aging sections along Mineral to the west of Santa Fe to improve traffic flow, Relph said that the ideal solution would be grade separation, with Santa Fe crossing over Mineral, much the way it does at Belleview. However, the train tracks could complicate that, he said. Carol Brzeczek, who helped gather the list of traffic concerns that Relph spoke about, said improving traffic flow on the west side
or outdated commercial areas, chosen by 29 percent, and business retention, chosen by 22 percent. Find the survey here: www.littletongov.org/connect-with-us/ city-leadership/resident-business-surveys/2016-residentbusiness-surveys of Mineral would be helpful across the board. “Any help on the west side should help the east side of Santa Fe,” said Brzeczek, a Littleton resident and a member of the Sunshine group. Other problem areas for traffic cited were the intersections of Santa Fe and Bowles Avenue and Mineral
and Prince Street, as well as several intersections near the Littleton Village development at Broadway and Dry Creek Road. Brzeczek’s biggest concern was Mineral and Prince, which she said could be helped by lengthening the turn lane for turning north on Prince. However, Relph says, future traffic improvements in Littleton will require the city to take funding maintenance of its infrastructure more seriously. For instance, he said that traffic signal progression could help alleviate some problems, but the city has outdated control systems. “I’m really concerned about the infrastructure,” Relph said.
group, said the project was very beautiful. “It is a great project and a great amenity for the area,” she said. “We want to continue work on other projects along the Platte.” Other river amenity projects are planned or under construction. For example, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District applied for a Great Outdoors Colorado grant to construct a walking and running trail along the east bank of the river from Union to Oxford avenues. The estimated cost of the east-side trail is about $3.3 million. There are plans for bank enhancements along much of the seven-mile stretch as well as creation of a whitewater tubing and boating channel between West Union and West Oxford avenues. Smaller trailheads are planned at Union and Belleview avenues.

Fairy tale coming to Lone Tree stage ‘Cinderella’ ballet displays skills of young dancers By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Set to Prokofiev’s lovely score, the much-loved tale of Cinderella and her Prince Charming will unfold on the mainstage at Lone Tree Arts Center on Sept. 3 and 4, as 60 dancers of the Littleton Youth Ballet, in association with the Littleton Ballet Academy, present “Cinderella.” The role of Cinderella is shared by three young dancers: 16-yearold Jenna Armstrong of Highlands Ranch, 16-year-old Alyssa Palazzo from Littleton and 15-year-old Madeline Ryner of Littleton. “The dancers all aspire to be professional dancers. The girls are very different in style and presentation as well as height. But being Cinderella is a dream come true for all of them and they graciously share the role,” said Alison Jaramillo, co-director of
Littleton Ballet Academy. Jaramillo adds that “the Littleton Ballet Academy strives to present the most professional production possible. The company rents professional backdrops and also uses full sets, including a magnificent carriage that was previously used by Colorado Ballet. Dancers rehearse up to three times a week (with the youngest dancers only rehearsing once a week) in addition to their regular class schedule.” Two guest artists will appear in the production. Colorado Ballet dancer Bryce Lee will reprise the role of the Prince and perennial favorite Scott Elliott will perform as the wicked Stepmother. Prokofiev wrote the music for “Cinderella” in 1940-44 and the ballet premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1945. There will be a meet-and-greet with the fairy-tale characters after every performance so young audience members can see the ballerinas up close, Jaramillo added. The goal

is to introduce young families to the arts in a friendly setting. A red carpet will greet young viewers outside the theater as a special welcome.

Official business proves challenging Colorado high school football games face a shortage of personnel in striped uniforms By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mark Usery started officiating high school football games in 1979 to earn
extra spending money when he was a student at Colorado State University. At that time, there were plenty of teachers, educators and young adults blowing whistles and throwing flags at Colorado high school football games. Times have changed, and now there is a shortage of officials to work the games. Reasons cited by those involved are a lack of interest among millennials, low pay, a rigorous time commitment
and high expectations. Usery, of Highlands Ranch, is still officiating, and he is the director of the Denver Football Officials Association. There are 16 area chapters of the Colorado Football Officials Association and Denver supplies officials for games in the geographical region framed by Castle Rock, Boulder, Limon and Gilpin County.

Long way from home Senior setter Jasmine Schmidt has left her family to play volleyball this season at Chaparral. Schmidt’s family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, during the summer, but Jasmine, who will graduate early, came back to Colorado and is living with the family of teammate MaKenna Davis. “For sure I won’t stay past December, but will probably leave (for North Carolina) after the (volleyball) season,” said Schmidt, who plans to play at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida.

Arvada West baseball coach Matt McDougal hopes to bring some Japanese culture to Colorado. McDougal and Wildcats assistant coach Jamie Thompson went on a cultural-exchange baseball trip to Japan in July. There were 19 players from Arvada West, one from Heritage, one from Cherry Creek and a player from California. The players housed with host families for three nights and then six nights in student housing. The group played games against Japanese teams in Fukuoka, Japan, and visited cultural sites in the area, such as the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Jim Benton Memorial. OVERTIME Nine days were spent in Japan and since the return trip went through Hong Kong of the People’s Republic of China and the players spent three days visiting the attractions. “Our kids loved it,” McDougal said. “They really enjoyed the trip. It opened new cultures and new experiences.” McDougal hopes the respect the Japanese have for baseball sticks with the players for a while. Japanese players take off their caps and bow while talking to a coach and stand at attention during team meetings. If a Japanese player is walked during game, he lays down his bat instead of tossing it on his way to first base. “The dedication they have for baseball is incredible,” McDougal said. “The biggest thing was the culture of baseball and the respect they have for the game. “They work incredibly hard. The kids were saying, `We need to do this and that.’ ”

What is your favorite movie? “Dumb and Dumber” because I watched it growing up over and over with my family and it always makes me laugh.
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Jessica Moore, pitcher for the Oregon Ducks. She was the first softball player I followed. Why do you participate in sports? I have a blast forming relationships with other girls, and it keeps me busy.
What is your favorite book? “Thirteen Reasons Why,” by Jay Asher. I read it this past summer. It is a great suspense novel. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I want to go to CSU to eventually join their OT program and become an occupational therapist. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.
Heating up the fall Legacy senior catcher Emily Taggart is off to a hot start to the softball season. In the Lightning’s first two games, she has gone 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and eight runs batted in. Legacy defeated Rock Canyon and Cherry Creek. ThunderRidge pitchers senior Emily Morris and junior Rachel Bean were exceptional in three opening wins. Morris allowed three hits, one run and struck of 10 on Aug. 24 in a five-inning win over Columbine and followed with a five-hit shutout over Grand Junction Central Aug. 27 when she fanned seven batters. Bean struck out five and was touched for only three hits in a 3-1 win over Fruita Monument Aug. 26. In Jefferson County 4A/5A golf after two rounds, Valor Christian and Lakewood have both charged out of the gates. Valor has four of the top eight golfers in average scores after tournaments at Deer Creek and Foothills in the 4A competition. Lakewood has three of the top six in the 5A tourneys at Deer Creek and Hyland Hills. Griffin Barela of Lakewood had a tworound average of 70.5 in the 5A tournaments followed by teammates Jack Castiglia at 74.5 and Grayden Wolfe at 75.5. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Warriors edge Bears with three-run rally Arapahoe wins softball opener by beating Bear Creek 5-4 By Tom Munds tmunds@colorad ocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe’s season-opening softball game with Bear Creek proved to be a good one. Players from both teams made diving catches, both teams turned double plays and both offenses hit the ball. But it was the Warriors’ late-inning rally that earned Arapahoe the 5-4 win. Key moments Bear Creek pushed across a run in the first inning and the Warriors responded with a pair of runs in the home half of the inning. The 2-1 lead stood up until the Bears scored three runs in the top of the third. The Warrior rally that produced the win came in the bottom of the sixth inning. Arapahoe combined aggressive base running, four hits and one Bear miscue to score three runs and
take the lead for good at 5-4. Key players/statistics The Warriors collected nine hits. Three players, Mia Glover, Kayla Huskey and Rachael Stoneking, had two hits each. Stoneking, the Warriors pitcher, drove in a pair of runs. She also went the distance on the mound, gave up four earned runs and struck out four. Warriors coach Jeanne Krueger said her team looks strong this season. “We have a mix of veterans and new players. There are three seniors and we have four freshmen starters,” the coach said after the game. “It is a learning curve as we knew it would be as the players get to know each other and work with each other. A big plus is we have three pitchers this season and we are hitting the ball well. We also have a lot of talent on this team, as this is the first year I have coached a team where every girl has played competitive softball.” Rally continues on Page 31
Keli March, Arapahoe second baseman (2), applies a tag to Bear Creek’s Alena Montoya (14) during the Aug. 23 season opener for both softball teams. Montoya was safe but was stranded on second. Later, the Warriors got key hits with players on base in the bottom of the sixth inning to score three runs and went on to win the game, 5-4.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 29, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The typically tidy Ram or Ewe might want to butt out until things are settled on the home front. But get involved and let your Ovine sense of order help restore domestic tranquility. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s flair for fine-tuning complicated fiscal dealings comes in handy when an unexpected financial problem arises. Stay with it until it’s resolved to your satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family aspects remain strong. There might be some unresolved difficulties, but continued attempts to smooth things over eventually prove to be successful. A major purchase looms. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A promise that was made but never kept suddenly re-emerges in your life. You now have to decide if you’re still interested in what it offers or if you’ve moved past it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Romance comes to unattached Leos and Leonas who have been waiting for Cupid to target them for far too long. Domestic purr-fection is also enhanced for paired Felines. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You need to take a much-needed break from that demanding project before too much energy-draining tension sets in. And don’t be ashamed to ask for help.
© 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!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Change makes demands that you might find unwelcome at this time. But instead of concentrating on the short run, look toward potential benefits down the road. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You have a gift for reviving projects that seem beyond repair. Use that same ability to restore a relationship that seems to have turned from loving to lifeless. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect to be asked to use your combined wisdom and humor to resolve a problem. After all, folks not only value your advice, they also like how you give it.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Most people consider you solid and steady. But you also can be quite capricious (which is a Latin word for “describing the behavior of Goats”) when it suits your needs. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) People treat you as you wish to be treated. So if you want a change in your relationship, make it happen. Also expect someone to reveal some long-held secrets. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay with the decision you made, despite a sudden torrent of advice to the contrary from well-meaning people. Remember: You know your needs better than anyone. BORN THIS WEEK: You like things tidy, with no loose ends. You also enjoy research and would make an excellent investigative reporter or scientist. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

They said it McKenna Klein, one of the Warrior seniors, said softball is her sport. “I think I have been playing softball as long as I can remember,” she said. “I love it because every team I have played on felt like being with family. I love the culture and really enjoy the sport.” Klein said her position is playing third base and it is the only position she wants to play. “I have always played third base and playing there is always a challenge,” she said. “The hardest play for me to make is a hard-hit grounder between me and the shortstop.” She said she is moving to improve her movement to the side and she is working on hitting better, because she said against Bear Creek she watched some pitches she should have swung at and she swung at some bad pitches. Going forward Arapahoe is on the road Sept. 8 against Highlands Ranch. The game will begin at 4:30 p.m. and will be played at Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch.

Valor aims to learn from tough test Arizona team defeats Eagles in nationally televised game

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman wants his team to be tested in non-league games. The Eagles, Colorado’s defending 5A state champion and top-ranked team in the CHSAA.com preseason poll, got a tough test in their season opener Aug. 27 against the Saguaro Sabercats in a game televised nationally in the ESPN Kickoff Classic. Saguaro, a team from Scottsdale, Arizona, that has won eight of the past 10 state titles, put on an impressive first-half showing and rolled to a 49-28 victory over the host Eagles. “We could schedule easier teams but we don’t do that,” Sherman said. “Playing the schedule we do will make us better. Adversity is something you must face to get better. I expect us to come back with renewed energy.” Key moments Saguaro scored on all five its first half possessions in grabbing a 35-14 halftime lead, but Valor tackled better in the second half and played better defense. The Eagles had all the momentum going their way. Valor pulled to within 35-21 and had the Sabercats backed up on their own 6-yard line after a Saguaro penalty to start the fourth quarter, but a roughing-the passer-infraction gave the visitors a first down. The Sabercats then completed an 89-yard scoring march to grab a threetouchdown advantage with 7:33 to play in the game. “We got a break,” Saguaro coach Jason Mohns said. “Valor let us off the hook with the roughing the passer.” Key players/statistics The teams combined for 906 yards of
total offense. Valor senior quarterback Dylan McCaffrey completed 18-of-24 passes for 205 yards, scored on an 11-yard run and caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Blake Stenstrom. He was the Eagles’ leading rusher with 58 yards on 13 carries. McCaffrey’s younger brother, sophomore Luke, did a little bit of everything. He completed a pass for 21 yards, rushed four times for 32 yards, caught two passes for 13 yards, averaged 21 yards on two kickoff returns and made three tackles from his safety position. Mitch Howell was in on seven total tackles while defensive end Ben Kozan made six unassisted tackles for the Eagles, who held Saguaro to 105 yards in the second half after surrendering 385 in the first two quarters. Saguaro junior quarterback Max Massingale connected on 10 of 11 passes for
159 yards and two touchdowns. He ran 16 times for 178 yards and two more scores. Stone Mathews finished with 144 yards rushing and three TDs. They said it “We played terrible in the first half,” Sherman said. “You can’t do that against a good team.” “We wanted to be physical and establish a running game early and we did that,” Mohns said. “Our quarterback made some big plays with his legs on broken plays. We wanted to take some shots, but we wanted them to respect the run.” Kozan said the Eagles were clicking on defense in the second half. “After the half, we got a talking to and came out and kind of bonded together,” he said. “In the beginning, we were doing a lot of arm tackles, and second half we came out and were clamping and driving
through. Losses are tough but they are really good to learn from.” Luke McCaffrey was a little surprised by Massingale. “He’s quick, he’s dangerous because you could have perfect coverage and he would still get a 60-yard gain,” he said. “He’s a great player. Some of us just didn’t expect it. It was our first game. We did better battling back in the second half. “This game kind of gets the jitters out and it’s a loss so we don’t have to worry about a perfect season. That’s one of those extracurricular things in football and now we can just focus on us.” Going forward Valor plays at Mullen Sept. 2 and continues its non-league schedule with games against Greater Atlanta (Georgia) Christian Sept. 9, Pomona on Sept. 23 and Cherry Creek on Sept. 29.
