More than 200 residents of a Lone Tree neighborhood have raised objections to the Douglas County School District’s approval of the purchase of a nearby building that will serve as home to the district’s evening high school program. A number of residents of the upscale Heritage Hills community, which backs up to the property at 9350 Teddy Lane, came to the Jan. 17 board of education meeting to voice their concerns. The vacant building that previously was a bank will be home to the district’s Eagle Academy, which has an enrollment of about 270 students. Karen Short, a 16-year resident of the area, said having the school move in worries her. “I am a neighbor to Teddy Lane,” she said. “The distance from the door to my backyard is less than the distance between home plate and first base on a baseball field — distance that can be traveled in 10 seconds,” Short said. “A night alternative high school, 81 feet from my residence, is completely and totally unacceptable.” But interim Superintendent Erin Kane said the SEE BUILDING, P9

MY NAME IS
STEVE SORENSEN
Worldwide runner, life coach, photographer Where life begins I ran my first marathon at the age of 60. I wanted to run a marathon on every continent around the world with my wife, Carol Hickman. I was running the Paris Marathon, April 2013, simply because I love Paris. I met another American during this trip and he mentioned the Seven Continents Club … the notion stuck in my head, but also felt a little crazy. I ran another marathon on Maui and then went off to Berlin. It was in Berlin that my wife and I decided to add five more continents. It has been a process of discovering things within ourselves, not only in terms of the endurance races, but also in terms of the people that we meet and the sights we see. We have met some spectacular people who, though they don’t always speak our language, are the most beautiful people on earth. We were in Africa getting ready for the Big Five marathon last June when we got to know this very nice couple. We went our separate ways after that. In November, we ran the New York Marathon with 50,000 other people. My wife never has to take a restroom break, but on mile
10, she decides she needs to use the restroom. You wouldn’t believe it, but we ran into the woman from the couple we met in Africa. It was amazing. You couldn’t even invent those kinds of stories. My wife and I decided to do this for the challenge. We decided to get out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary — it is where life begins. Capturing the moment While on these trips, I started taking photos; you can see them on earthreflected.com. Sometimes we humans put our passions away because we feel like we need to make a living. For me, that passion is photography. It is capturing these moments, and my hope is that I can help people get into the moment of the photo and step out of the ordinary. The joy of what I photograph is showing people the broader world. Taking it up a notch I run a coaching business called Enlighten 360. I work with executives who want to improve themselves. They are usually very high achievers who want to take it up one or two more notches. I try to help people understand in my coaching that life doesn’t end at a certain phase. I like to bring self-discovery and discover how I can help them achieve that. If you have suggestions for My Name Is… contact Stephanie Mason at smason@coloradocommunitymedia.com

An institution of higher education could soon find itself within the Lone Tree city limits. On Jan. 10, a petition was filed for Lone Tree to annex the CU South Denver property at 10035 S. Peoria St. into the city. The building is currently located in unincorporated Douglas County, with a Parker mailing address. “We like to operate in the communities we live in actively,” Luella Chavez D’Angelo, the University of Colorado’s vice chancellor for enterprise development, said during the Jan. 17 city council meeting. “We really believe that we are part of a fabric of the community in every way, shape and possible form.” According to Lone Tree’s 2016 resident survey, only 42 percent of residents ranked existing local higher education opportunities as “good” or “excellent.” “We are very much looking forward to the dialogue and discussion,” Mayor Jackie Millet said. “It was clearly stated that the citizens here are looking for higher education.” Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic development director, said both the city and school would benefit from the annexation. “The addition of higher education to our mix with the CU branding on it is a value to the city,” Holwell said.
Benefits for CU South Denver, Holwell said, are municipal services, including public safety, last-mile tran- O sit, and local government advocacy. The location would have a Lone Tree i address consistent with the surround- A ing region, making it easier to locate, D he added. w The next steps to annex the property d are a public hearing and city council s first reading of the annexation ordi- c nance on March 7, city council second i reading on March 21 and, if approved, o an effective date of annexation on w April 20. p “It is very exciting for us to be a considered for annexation,” D’Angelo said. “We are very grateful to Douglas p County for helping us thus far. There a is a difference between being in an l unincorporated space and being really engrained in a community, and that is f what we are looking for.” t D’Angelo said the CU South Denp ver location serves students south of o Hampden Avenue and north of Castle c Rock. The location merges professors from the campuses in Boulder, Denver o n and Colorado Springs. a On Jan. 1, 2015, the school’s building, formerly the Wildlife Experience o museum — which is now part of the campus — was gifted to the University t of Colorado by Dave and Gail Liniger, D co-owners of RE/MAX. L The location has grown from 285 course enrollments in its first semester to 817 in its third. Maureen Durkin, CUL South Denver’s assistant vice chancel- g lor for strategy and organizational ef- s fectiveness, said the location primarily p serves working professionals looking m M to advance their education.

Tree’s history,” City Manager Seth Hoffman said during the Jan. 17 ceremony. After Wilson’s son, Sam, pinned the badge onto Wilson’s uniform, the new chief gave a speech. He said his first objective is to listen to officers and police volunteers in Lone Tree to gather their thoughts and concerns about the department. Wilson then thanked his family and the community for their support. “This is a great opportunity,” Wilson said. “It is a great fit for me. I look forward to being a part of the future of Lone Tree.” Wilson, formerly a commander in the Colorado Springs Police Department, replaces Jeffrey Streeter, who retired in June. “The entire community is welcoming of their new chief,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said.
Lone Tree’s new chief of police worked for the Colorado Springs Police Department since 1995. When Wilson saw the police chief position open in Lone Tree, he moved toward the opportunity because he grew up in Aurora and his wife works for Douglas County.

Fitness has no age limit at South Suburban All SSPR recreation centers adopt Silver&Fit to promote senior activity BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Uptown Funk blasts through the speakers of the Lone Tree Recreation Center as Zumba instructor Tracy Larocco-Harris leads a complex dance step, smiling as her class claps, shouts and follows along, just a little off-beat. However, this is not your average Zumba class; most participants are over the age of 60. Larocco-Harris started teaching Zumba in 2010. She teaches a specialty class, known as Zumba Gold, for participants who seek lower-impact classes. The class is open to anyone, though seniors frequent the hour-long cardio activity. Larocco-Harris said that it has become more than just a class, it has become a community. “What I see in the class is that people look forward to seeing one another,” Larocco-Harris said. “There is also energy in the group. People who are retired and who take the class are very loyal, they look out for one another and they have these incredibly rich lives that they share if you spend any time speaking with them.” Larocco-Harris spoke of a regular class attendee named Ted, a man in his 80s, who has danced his whole life. She said that “you can just tell that the class is keeping him young.” Larocco-Harris mentions how important fitness is to seniors, especially when set to music.
The Silver&Fit membership will allow qualifying seniors, 60 and older, the chance to have unlimited use of any of the recreation centers maintained by South Suburban. STEPHANIE MASON “In most cultures around the world, music is a celebration of life,” Larocco-Harris said. “There is a component to exercise that involves recapturing and stimulating memory. Even just walking can decrease the chance of memory loss. Well, dance is more complex than walking.” Participants can attend the class more regularly since many are retired and have fewer family commitments. “I don’t work, so I feel like I don’t have an excuse not to work out,” said Georgia Tatom, a frequent attendee in the Zumba Gold class. “I am more consistent in my fitness now. I was raising kids and working before, but now I go to yoga and Zumba.” South Suburban Parks and Recreation is an advocate for senior health, said Kelsey Whisler, SSPR fitness manager. After a year-long set-up process, the Silver&Fit program is now offered
by SSPR in all fitness centers. “I think our recreation centers are such a friendly and welcoming environment,” Whisler said. “I think this program fits perfectly for that population and the community feel they are drawn to.” Silver&Fit is an insurance benefit program, popular in Rocky Mountain Health Plans, Cigna and Altius/Aetna, allowing seniors full access to recreation centers at little to no cost. Members have access to the Douglas H. Buck Community Recreation Center in Littleton, Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial, Lone Tree Recreation Center and Sheridan Recreation Center. People are welcome to call the Goodson Recreation Center to check their eligibility. Those whose insurance requires an additional fee will pay no more than $50 for the year. Those signing
up for the program must do so at the Goodson center, but will be able to use any of the four SSPR facilities after joining. Depending on the insurance, this program is available for people who are 60 and older. A total of 25 seniors signed up with the program since November. Seniors are encouraged to utilize everything the recreation centers have to offer, including fitness classes, the pool and sports. In addition to access to the recreation centers, Silver&fit members have access to an app that tracks their workouts, a rewards program, healthy aging classes and various online health resources. “It is a really nice benefit for that older adult community,” Whisler said. “We are happy to now offer Silver&Fit.”
Asset-seizure fund supports teen suicide prevention Sheriff donates money confiscated from drug deals, organized crime activities BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock has donated $25,000 from money confiscated in drug deals and other organized crimes to a Douglas County School District program that combats teen suicide and bullying. Sources of Strength, which seeks to prevent suicide, violence, bullying and substance abuse by training peers to know warning signs and connect at-risk friends to resources, operates in 12 district schools. “What we see when our Spurlock schools adopt Sources of Strength,” said Staci McCormack, the district’s prevention and school
culture coordinator, “is we all become much better at preventing suicide, acts of school violence, bullying and substance abuse.” McCormack called the donation “super-exciting,” saying it will help the district expand the program in the district. State law allows law enforcement agencies to once a year gift to community programs up to $25,000 from their asset forfeiture funds, or money that has been seized from criminal activities. The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has previously put that money toward Y.E.S.S. — a program operated by the Sheriff ’s Office, neighboring law enforcement agencies and schools, which teaches students about teen relationships, internet safety and substance abuse. Emerging issue But suicide prevention has emerged as a key issue among youth. Approximately two years ago, the Douglas County Youth Initiative, a group that coordinates youth
services and asseses youths’ needs, began looking for ways to prevent teen suicide, said Marsha Alston, the initiative’s youth service program manager. The program’s 2015 Youth Congress, an annual event where area students bring their tops concerns to local officials, also targeted suicide prevention, Alston said. When the Youth Initiative learned that some Douglas County schools used Sources of Strength, it connected the program with the Sheriff ’s Office. So the initiative wrote a grant proposal. A panel consisting of the sheriff, a county commissioner and the district attorney chose Sources of Strength from among 6 applications. “One life lost to suicide is too many,” Spurlock said in a written statement. “If I could contribute any amount of money to suicide prevention and only one life be saved, it is worth the money.” A different lens Sources of Strength, which has local
chapters across the U.S. and Canada, trains anyone and everyone, from administrators to teachers to students or other caring adults, McCormack said. “This is about all of us just having a different lens on when we go through our daily walk,” she said. “It helps really create a shift in the culture of the entire school.” The peer-based program teaches people how to connect a friend in need with help, she said. That help can come in many forms. For a student, it may mean connecting a friend with a trusted adult. Feedback has been positive, McCormack said. One middle school student reported they wouldn’t have thought to connect a friend with resources, assuming instead that listening to their struggle would be enough support, if it weren’t for Sources of Strength. That, McCormack said, is an example of a culture shift. So “to be able to use these kinds of dollars in such a supportive and positive way...to be able to expand the work of Sources,” Alston said, is “just wonderful.”

Hawks for Haiti connects students to impoverished nation SkyView Academy raises money for orphaned and abandoned youths in Haiti BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
Lauren Meighan started volunteering at the Vertile Foundation — a home for orphaned and abandoned youth in Carrefour, Haiti — in 2010 following the disastrous earthquake that displaced about 1.5 million people. She has been visiting once or twice a year ever since. This year, Meighan, an eighth-grade teacher at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, gets to combine two of her passions: her SkyView students and the 22 children of the Vertile Foundation. From Jan. 23-27, middle school students are raising money for the Vertile Foundation. Rather than calling it a spirit week, SkyView staff have titled it Hawks for Haiti after the school’s mascot. “I’ve wanted to do something in my school community and connect it to my Haiti community,” said Meighan, 28, who was recently elected as the Vertile Foundation board president. Meighan first heard about the Vertile Foundation from its founder, Rico Changeux, who she also calls a good friend. The two met in Boulder
Lauren Meighan visits Haiti once a year to work with children ages 3 to 18 years old. Meighan, an eighth-grade literature teacher at SkyView Academy, is board president of the Vertile Foundation, a home for orphaned and abandoned youths in Carrefour, Haiti. This year, her SkyView students will raise money for her Haiti children. COURTESY PHOTO where Meighan attended college and Changeux ran a dance studio and production company. “After my mother passed away, I felt that I needed to return to Haiti and support my people in some way,” said Changeux. “I have always believed the Haitian people were strong and resilient, but the kids in the community

couldn’t always be helped.” Changeux grew up in the eightbedroom home that is now the Vertile Foundation, named after his mother. “She was a strong and resilient person like my people in Haiti,” Changeux said, “and she, too, loved kids.” SkyView’s middle school principal,
Janet Worley, brainstormed Hawks for Haiti as a way for students to serve individuals outside of their school. Service learning is one of SkyView’s five pillars of foundation. The other pillars are core knowledge, classical college prep, character education and world languages. “This project allows us to follow up and see change,” Worley said. “My hope is that when students see the change, it will inspire them to make changes in their communities.” As part of the Hawks for Haiti kick-off assembly, Meighan showed a video of the Vertile house and its residents, who are 3 to 18 years old. For them, the basic needs of life haven’t been easily achievable. Some of the children were dropped off or abandoned by a parent; social services referred others. “They really appreciate getting to eat and going to school,” Meighan said. SkyView middle school students set a goal to raise $60 each for a total of $20,000. That amount will pay for two years of education for each child of the Vertile Foundation. The Vertile house is not a permanent destination for its children, Meighan said. The goal is to prepare them for future opportunities, such as a career. “We hope to help them get jobs that will make them happy,” Meighan said, “provide them with a reasonable path.”

Castle Rock group joins Women’s March on Denver Local protesters viewed downtown gathering as a sign of hope BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sue Zloth of Castle Pines attended the Women’s March on Denver sideby-side with her wife, Sue Fraley. The couple married in 2015 after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. They’ve been together for 27 years. “I feel like we’re supporting the positive values that have been in place from our leadership in this country,” Fraley said, referring to policies largely implemented during the Obama administration. The women, who are members of the Castle Rock Unitarian Universalist Community, protested among crowds that far surpassed anticipated levels — reportedly, more than 100,000 people. Joining them Jan. 21 were other members of Castle Rock’s Unitarian Universalist Community, and more than 100 Unitarian members from throughout the Denver metro area. They gathered on the steps of the Capitol for a day of protest. For four Castle Rock Unitarians, the day started at Lincoln Station in Lone Tree. Bob and Dory Pinkham, along with Fraley and Zloth, traveled by light rail to the march. Unitarianism draws from principles in several religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, allowing people to choose their own spiritual paths, they said. The church also follows seven core principles — the first being a belief in every person’s “inherent worth and dignity” — which they said aligned with the march’s mission. They congregated at 6:45 a.m. and boarded the 7:18 a.m. train, piling in alongside dozens of other marchers destined for downtown. Excitedly, passengers cheered as more Women’s March protesters boarded the train for several stops to come. At Union Station, the four friends took to the streets with a flood of other people. They hopped on the free MallRide bus and soon enough arrived at their group’s meeting place on the Capitol steps. By 9 a.m., the crowd advanced toward the march’s route, joining the sea of people before them. They didn’t do much marching, however. The volume of people created a gridlock throughout Civic Center Park. So for more than two hours, the Unitarian group stood in protest, only gradually inching their way forward throughout the morning.
But they were proud to be there. There wasn’t one particular issue that inspired the Castle Rock Unitarians to participate. Women’s rights were one, but so were LGBTQ rights, minority rights, environmental issues and in general, they said, human rights. Above all, they wanted one thing to be clear. “This is not an anti-Trump march,” Zloth said, along with others in her group. Gary Wyngarden of Sedalia agreed. Although he wasn’t happy with the election’s outcome, he said, President Donald Trump won fairly. Wyngarden favored Bernie Sanders early in the race and then put his support behind Hillary Clinton as the field narrowed. For the future, he’s looking to Elizabeth Warren. But on Saturday, he marched in response to the president’s comments on women and minorities. “This march is to say, `Not so fast, mister,’ ” Wyngarden said. Zloth said their protest was directed toward where they fear the new administration will lead the country. “There’s a concern that values might be shifting away from the strong support that women have had, that underserved communities have had,” Zloth said. Cath Wyngarden, Gary’s wife and co-founder of the Castle Rock Unitarian Universalist Community, said the march was about hope. She saw a diverse crowd, that day. Around her were young and old, men and women, and different ethnicities, all gathered for a common goal. Cath said despite the divisiveness of Trump’s presidency, she hopes people will come together stronger than ever. Zloth said she hadn’t known what to expect about participating in the event. But the crowd turnout impressed her. Above her wavered signs wielding a diverse set of messages. Many supported equal pay, women’s reproductive rights and calls to shatter the glass ceiling. Others nodded to the rights of racial and religious minorities. “I imagine a lot of these signs are very similar to what people held 50 years ago,” Cath said. “That’s the sad thing.” And although she said many of those issues have seen progress, she hoped the country wouldn’t lose that in the years moving forward. Zloth described being with so many different people as empowering. And ultimately, she said, it gave her hope. “To show,” Zloth said, “the things that we value are not going to die.”

AN ICE EVENING
Urgent Care and ER. Together at Last. Always Open.
Savanna Borst, 17, and Riley Barry, 18, both seniors at Mountain Vista High School, had the ice rink at the Streets at SouthGlenn all to themselves the evening of Jan. 18. Savanna used to play ice hockey and easily slid across the rink. Riley admitted that he had little skill on an ice rink, but would gladly take advice from his friend Savanna. STEPHANIE MASON

school and its students would not be disruptive to the community. “I have read all the letters, I’ve heard all the feedback from Heritage Hills and I see the concerned residents here tonight,” Kane said. “I want to commit to them that we will bend over backward to work together to be good neighbors.” Pam Ladnier, president of the Heritage Hills Homeowners Association, said she and her neighbors are concerned about increased traffic and noise from students coming and going in the evenings. “The student lounge will look out into the backyards and homes only 70 feet away,” Ladnier said. Al Talbert, another Heritage Hills resident, also voiced concerns about lack of privacy. “They’ll be able to look into our house four nights a week from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. year-round,” Talbert said. “This is our backyard. This is where we play with our children, play with our dogs, barbecue and have friends and families over.” More than 200 residents have signed a petition against moving the school to the Teddy Lane property, which is south of C-470 and west of I-25. The school board voted 6-1 to purchase the building. Board member Wendy Vogel voted against the move, citing concerns about funding, other capital needs in the district and the impact on nearby residents. The property is 26,000 square feet and is expected to cost the district $3.95 million to purchase and an estimated $3 million to renovate. Eagle Academy, which has been housed at Highlands Ranch High School, is an afternoon and evening high school program that provides “an alternative path to earning a high school diploma,” according to the district website. The district’s Master Capital Plan identifies the need for $29.3 million for
new construction to meet the needs of alternative secondary school students. Eagle Academy’s current location at Highlands Ranch High has limited the school’s growth, according to the district. Eagle Academy Principal Jeff Broeker defended his school and students and pledged to be “good neighbors.” “I feel as good neighbors we could mitigate many of those things which were shared this evening in terms of privacy, in terms of our students and their whereabouts and how we will utilizing the facility,” Broeker said. Colby Martell, Eagle Academy’s student body president, spoke to the board about the need for his school to have its own community. “I have truly felt like a visitor,” he said. “I don’t really feel like I belong in that building, because it is Highlands Ranch.” Eagle Academy English teacher Don Hoaglin said the feeling wasn’t limited to the students. “When I first started at Eagle, I came in, had to borrow a room, borrow resources and I felt like a visitor in my own classroom,” Hoaglin said. “If an adult is feeling that, consider this: What is a 16-, 17-, 18- or 19-year-old student feeling as a perpetual visitor? By having our own site, we could do so many good and positive things.” The district said it would work with Heritage Hills residents as it finalizes plans for the building. DCSD’s Bridge North and Child Find programs, which are located in leased properties currently and cost the district $166,000 a year, will also be housed in the new building. Bridge North is an extension of DCSD’s transition services. The program serves students 18-21 years of age with significant support needs in the areas of adult living skills and vocational goals. Child Find is part of the district’s special education program and serves as a resource for families who are residents of Douglas County at no charge. DCSD is expected to begin occupying the building in August, barring any delays or permitting issues.

Here are some questions that might make us think just a bit differently
T
WINNING WORDS
here are two old proverbs I would like to share with you this week. The first is this, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.” And the second one is this, “Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” Well since typically I share my opinions way too often in these columns, I thought maybe this week I would shift it up a little bit and ask more questions as opposed to sharing opinions and observations. And is it OK if I ask you to write back and answer or respond to any or all of the questions posed?
Michael Norton
The first question I would pose would be around another famous thought shared by many authors and experts, “Seek first to understand and then to be understood.” What has happened to us as a nation as we have endured this past election season and outcome of the election? Have we really forgotten to seek first and then to be understood? The second proverb I quoted above seems to capture this, and unfortunately and rightly so has found us playing the role of the fool and worried more about airing our own opinions than seeking to understand others. Long before the election, leading up to the election, and now post-election, there have
been stories of marriages ending, friendships being destroyed, business partners separating, siblings who have stopped communicating, co-workers refusing to work together or even talk. There has been documented violence that speaks to the first proverb I shared, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.” The questions are just too many to list in a short weekly column, so let’s just start with a few questions, shall we? Is this who we have become? Have we become a society and culture that now relies on the freedom SEE NORTON, P11

f all the things to be heartbroken about in 2016, the separation and divorce of HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” stars was not one of them. For me. There has always been an interest in the personal lives of well-known people, even if their notoriety is dubious. That why we have autobiographies and biographies. It’s an industry to follow and document personalities. A paparazzi’s photo of a celebrity up to no good can put a lot of money in his pocket. If you have ever wondered where the word “paparazzi” comes from, here it is. Paparazzo was the name of a news photographer in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film La Dolce Vita. Fellini said, “`Paparazzo’ suggests to me a buzzing insect, hovering, darting, stinging.” I have another, unprintable, name for men and women who poke into the private lives of anyone with a telephoto lens. I don’t care how much weight someone has gained or lost, or what they had done to their lips. Others do, and (seem to)
subsist on the ups and downs of the “Bachelors” and the “Bachelorettes.” Why is Johnny Deep’s financial report in the front pages of a Craig Marshall daily? Smith I became aware of an interest in named names for the first time when I heard that Eddie Fisher had his eye on Elizabeth Taylor, when he was still married to Debbie Reynolds. Fisher and Reynolds were supposed to conform, I guess, to an idealized vision of love and marriage. “Stay put,” America said. It impacted Fisher’s career, and many cheered when Taylor hooked up with Richard Burton. It went around my high school that Emily had cheated on Mike with John, while Mike was cheating on Emily with Norm.

other people are angry at the people getting angry, and civility seems to be a veneer stretched too thin on both sides to conceal the contempt and derision below. His Holiness had offered some advice for finding equilibrium in any situation: self-compassion. As opposed to self-esteem or self-respect, self-compassion is defined by some scholars as open to and touched by our own troubles, worries or fears, and yet not avoiding them or disconnecting from them. An important piece of self-compassion is to be nonjudgmental about what is causing us pain, even when we mess up or are experiencing some other form of emotional pain. In our divided world, we are beyond judgmental with each other. We are vitriolic in our name-calling, our shaming, our senses of entitlement. We are so certain of our own beliefs that anyone — and I mean anyone — who stands for an opposing viewpoint becomes a target of scorn and hate. The divisions are sharp, wide, deep. No wonder so many of us feel a bit battered, bruised. In the interview, His Holiness said that, basically, “nothing exists as it appears,” and I’m reminded of a graphic I saw of an intersection where a car, a bicycle and a pedestrian appear to be on a collision course. Thought bubbles tell us what’s going on for each. To paraphrase,

and accessibility that social media outlets provide to air our own selfish opinions? Have we come to the point where we don’t even form our own opinions or sound judgment because we rely on what we hear or read through the posts of others? Some we know and some we have never met. I mean day in and day out someone invariably shares with me that they have deleted more friends from their Facebook account because they can no longer stand the rhetoric. I wonder if that might be an interesting statistic for Facebook to share, how many people have been unfriended over the past few months? In the continued spirit of asking questions instead of pontificating, when did we stop thinking for ourselves? Now I am not saying that everyone has, but would you agree that there seems to be a lot of jumping on some else’s bandwagon going on? Do you think we should start or maybe just get back to having sound judgment and making our own decisions based on our own true belief systems instead of being held hostage of the belief systems of others? Do you think that if we found our way back to staying true to our belief systems, and if we took the time to listen and seek to understand others first that we may save a
the woman at the wheel of the car is fretting because her child is sick and she had to leave work. The person on the bike is wondering where next month’s rent will come from, and the pedestrian is preoccupied with his own medical problem. They are unaware, of course, of each other’s struggles. Each of us faces our own battles, every day. So this means that everyone else we meet or interact with or email or text or, or, or … is also fighting some sort of battle, that may or may not have anything to do with political divisions. I’m not sure which needs to come first, though, compassion for self or compassion for others, in which we are touched by someone else’s suffering, we are aware of their pain, and we are not judging them. Clearly, neither is easy, or we’d all be fine all the time! It is possible for us in America to “build a bridge between two complementary systems of knowledge”? Can we practice compassion, including self-compassion, for better understanding of the other sides of the divide? For my part, starting this weekend — oh, mercy, starting right now! — I’m going to practice selfcompassion. If it’s good for the Dalai Lama, it is definitely good for me!

I realized then that it was human nature to take a vicarious interest in the goings-on of others. Later, as a college art professor, I became the subject of rumors that continue, like a noir film, to follow me out of the past. We are often flawed characters. If we weren’t, where would literature and cinema and songs be? “Your Cheatin’ Heart” was a hit for a reason. Would you go to a film about a couple without conflicts of any kind? Probably not. I know someone who doesn’t seem to know anything that is going on in the world of entertainers outside of entertainment. I don’t know how she does it. She must have bought a filter on Amazon Prime. I have come to the conclusion that
we all need distractions from the important stuff. Otherwise, why would over a million people in a 650,000 population town show up to celebrate a professional football team? I have tried to look at this from both sides. Believe it or not, that’s what I do with just about everything. I am a known humbug when it comes to human excesses. And we excess all over the place. Charles Dickens’ books were serialized. All of them. That means they weren’t published all at once. It was a brilliant idea for its time. Anticipation is an exciting thing. We want to know what is going to happen next to our favorite distractions. The next thing you know, we’re flipping and flopping all over it like the dickens.

few marriages, friendships, working relationships, and heartache? Do you think that there is a certain percentage of the population that simply likes to stir the pot, acting the fool just to start a quarrel? When you think about this for yourself and for your own family and friends, how many times have you changed the channel on the television or logged off of the internet because it was just too much to handle? For me the final question is this, “Is it time for change?” And not the “Hope and Change” of a campaign speech, and not the change that a new president may or may not bring about. I am asking if it’s time to change for us? For you? For me? For all of us? Is it time to be reminded that an unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels? And should we also think about the fact that it is fools finding no pleasure in understanding, but that they delight in airing their own opinions? How about you? How have you or would you respond to the questions above?

Salazar working on a bill to challenge federal changes
Q&A with state Rep. Joe Salazar
BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
During his election campaign, President Donald Trump spoke often about deportation plans for undocumented immigrants and keeping a close eye on the Islamic community. But after Trump’s win in November, police departments in cities like Denver and Aurora said they will not enforce federal immigration laws, and Boulder’s city council unanimously voted to declare itself a sanctuary city. Now state Rep. Joe Salazar, DThornton, is considering similar legislation for the entire state. “What I’m considering isn’t a sanctuary measure, but rather about protecting the states’ rights,” he said. “I want Colorado to be proactive instead of reactive.” The bill Salazar is proposing is still being fine-tuned, and he doesn’t have a timeline for when it will be introduced. The measure is tentatively called “The Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act” after the late Colorado governor who accepted a JapaneseAmerican internment camp in World War II and spoke in defense of internees.

In its current form, the bill would stop state, cities, counties and law enforcement agencies from providing information about the race, ethnicity, immigration status or religious affiliation of Colorado residents to the federal government for deportation or tracking purposes.

South metro lawmakers share their views on enforcement STAFF REPORT
While most south metro area lawmakers are holding off on comment on state Rep. Joe Salazar’s pending bill that would, among other things, protect Colorado’s undocumented immigrants from federal law enforcement, some are already lining up in support or opposition. “The Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act is about states’ rights and ensuring that Colorado law enforcement officers do not have to assist any federal program that would set up a registry for Muslims, create internment camps, or attempt to identify individuals by their race, religion, nationality, or color of their skin—all

caucus — which includes Salazar and Senate Democratic Leader Lucia Guzman, Assistant Minority Leader Leroy Garcia, Sen. Irene Aguilar, Sen. Dominick Moreno, Speaker of the House Crisanta Duran, Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, Rep. Dan Pabon and Rep. Donald Valdez — released a statement about the importance of protection. “Nationally, over 900 suspected hate incidents have been reported, including several in our state,” the statement said. “Many people are also worried about potential changes that would impact people of color, immigrants, Muslims, women, members of the LGBTQ community and the environment.” The statement ends with a pledge that “Colorado does not endorse hate. We will do everything we can to protect the rights of all of our residents
of which go against our American and Colorado values and our U.S. and state constitutions,” state Rep. Jeff Bridges, D-Greenwood Village, said. Bridges says media reports stating that Salazar’s measure would make Colorado a “sanctuary state” do a “disservice to Rep. Salazar and his proposal.” But state Sen. Jim Smallwood, R-Parker, has labeled the proposed legislation “alarmist political grandstanding.” “I think it is dangerous, irresponsible and unfair for a city, county or state to create rules that protect illegal immigrants from the proper authorities, and I would oppose any such legislation,” Smallwood said.
‘I want Colorado to be proactive instead of reactive.’ Joe Salazar, state representative and to defend against any efforts that seek to harm our communities.” The sentiments are echoed by area organizations like the Golden Relief Group, an advocacy group for refugees and immigrants. “It’s about the basic feeling of our common humanity,” said Golden resident Judy Denison, a leader in the group. “If we’re not going to be good to the poor and huddled masses, we might as well tear down the Statue of Liberty.”

Salazar, D-Thornton, has not yet introduced his bill at the Capitol, and for that reason, most area lawmakers interviewed said they would not comment on the measure. Leaders in south metro communities have not followed Boulder’s lead in declaring their municipalities sanctuary cities, but talk of the move took place recently at a public meeting in at least one south suburb. In Englewood, a city council discussion last month addressed the possibility of becoming a sanctuary city after the issue was brought up by a community group. No official action was taken, City Manager Eric Keck said. He said the city supports a position paper by the Colorado Association of Police
Chiefs stating that immigration law is a federal responsibility and it is not the role of local police departments to assist with deportation efforts. Shortly after Donald Trump’s election in November, Denver and Aurora police announced they would not begin enforcing federal immigration laws. Cmdr. Trent Cooper, spokesman for Littleton Police Department, said his department is not empowered to enforce federal law. “We take enforcement action based on violations of state or municipal law, regardless of a person’s immigration status,” he said. “All are treated equally in that respect, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.”
THE BILL In the Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act’s current form, the bill does the following: • Prohibits a state or political subdivision from providing the race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation of a Colorado resident to the federal government for any illegal or unconstitutional purpose;
• Prohibits assisting the federal government or a federal agency in marking or otherwise placing a physical or electronic identifier on a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation;
• Prohibits any assistance to the federal government to create a registry for Colorado residents based on race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation;
• Prohibits aiding or assisting, including using state or local lands or resources, the federal government in interning a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation.

Carrying weighted packs helps mix up fitness routines BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

uby Herrera has brought an aspect of her military training into her fitness regimen. Rucking — carrying a weighted pack — is a trendy exercise with unglamorous roots in the military, where it is a staple of training. Part of the test for U.S. Army infantry soldiers to earn the coveted Expert Infantryman Badge is to complete a 20-kilometer march carrying a 35-pound rucksack, along with other gear, within three hours. “I love using a variety of training to stay conditioned,” said Herrera, a Colorado Springs resident and security forces specialist in the Air Force Reserve. “Rucking is the perfect addition to any type of programming I might be involved with.” Former Army Special Forces soldier Jason McCarthy of Jacksonville, Florida, brought rucking to the masses in 2008 when he founded GORUCK after leaving the service. There are now hundreds of GORUCK events across the U.S. and in Europe, including several in Colorado. However, ruck march challenges go back long before McCarthy started. One of the most popular events is the annual Bataan Memorial Death March, which dates to 1989 and pays homage to U.S. and Filipino prisoners of war who were forced by the Japanese Imperial Army to march 60 to 70 miles with little food or water in 1942, during which thousands died. Sponsored by the New Mexico State University ROTC department and the New Mexico National Guard, the memorial march is held at White Sands Missile Range in southern

A cardio-strength workout Now, rucking draws servicemembers, veterans and civilians alike who want to bring diversity to their exercise routines. “It’s portable,” James Finch, of Lakewood, said. “You don’t need a gym.” Finch, 39, started rucking about two years ago as a way to challenge himself. It fits neatly with his other fitness passion, obstacle course racing. “When I take the dogs for a walk, I throw the ruck on,” he said. GORUCK says that rucking can burn as many calories as running, while allowing people of different abilities to do it together by carrying different weights. Finch credits fellow obstacle course racing enthusiast David Tatham with introducing him to it. Tatham, of Henderson, said he began rucking in 2012, when he first signed up for one of the challenges hosted by GORUCK. He has since started his own organization that hosts ruck events around the Front Range, Burden Operation Company. “Anybody can do it,” Tatham said.
RUCKING EVENTS Overhead weighted sit-ups: Hold the pack over your head while doing sit-ups. Weighted pushups: Strap the pack onto your back and do normal pushups. Overhead weighted lunges: Hold the pack over your head while doing lunges. “You can throw on a halfway decent backpack.” Obstacle course racing is another fitness trend with close ties to the armed forces, with military installations, including Colorado’s Fort Carson, hosting events for Spartan Race, the largest entity in the young sport. Aaron Varcasio, who coaches Crossfit and high-intensity interval training workouts at FIT Littleton and has taken part in GORUCK events, said that rucking can be an effective cardio alternative to running as well as a form of strength training. “It challenges you because you’re used to hiking without weight,” he said. Challenging the mind, too Herrera sees rucking as the perfect way to train both mentally and physically. “Rucking has taught me that my body is capable of so much more than my mind had previously restricted me to,” she said. “I can add a ruck to almost any activity and see huge improvements all around. I love the feeling of pure exhaustion after pushing myself to the limit and then stepping over that limit to keep going.” In March 2015, not long after he began

B “I’ve learned to take care of my feet better,” he said. 2016 was to be Finch’s redemption year at White Sands, but he suffered a stroke just weeks before the event. He spent 11 days in the intensive care unit and another 20 in inpatient rehab. He recovered from his stroke to go on to complete in several Spartan Race obstacle course events in 2016. From Finch’s point of view, rucking is easier on his knees and ankles than running and carries a lower risk of injury. Finch used to carry nearly 50 pounds in his ruck, but he’s still working on getting back to form following his stroke. “It makes life easier when you’re doing anything else — you take it off and you’re lighter,” he said. “You feel like you can run 100 mph when you’re done rucking.”

Meet Chocolate Lisa, creator of the Truffnie Highlands Ranch resident brings passion for food to life
WHERE TO FIND A TRUFFNIE Truffnie’s production facility, 8765 E. Orchard Road #701, Centennial Abloom, 9325 Dorchester St., #122, Highlands Ranch
BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
The Truffnie: half European truffle, half all-American brownie. Lisa Hemphill thought of the concept 20 years ago while living in Michigan. She came up with the name the following year while living in New Jersey. And it all came to life nearly five years ago while living in Colorado. “I get so excited,” Hemphill, otherwise known as “Chocolate Lisa,” said as she tied a red ribbon around a rose-covered chocolate box. “I absolutely love what I do.” Hemphill, a Highlands Ranch resident, has always been a foodie. She remembers baking tiny cakes for her father in her Easy-Bake Oven as a child. When college rolled around, her parents turned down the idea of Hemphill attending culinary school. So she earned a business degree and went into corporate America, where she stayed for 20 years. But Hemphill never lost sight of her love for food. She attended the Cordon Bleu Institute in Paris and The New School in New York. Having her two children, Max, now 19, and Jacqui, 21, inspired Hemphill to switch gears and focus on her passion, as did her husband’s encouragement. Hemphill’s logo, two wings with the word Truffnies in front, represents her kids. “They complete me,” Hemphill said. “The best thing I have ever done is be a mom.” Her kids, both in college at the University of ColoradoBoulder, help their mother

Truffnies are baked fresh with no preservatives or wax. “Once you open them, the idea is to eat them,” Hemphill said. “It’s a fresh chocolate, because fresh is the best.”
The bite-sized pieces have the smoothness of a truffle and the moistness of a brownie. The flavor isn’t overwhelming. “I challenge people who don’t like chocolate or truffles to try one,” Webster said. “It’s light.

February concerts will raise money for young musicians Douglas County children will get scholarship funds from two events BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Castle Pines Arts and Cultural Foundation and the Colorado Chamber Orchestra Elementary Instrumental Music will feature two concert nights in February, different, but with a clear connection. Children are learning to experience the joy of making music, and the foundation is raising scholarship funds for some (about 10 percent of Douglas County students) who would not otherwise be able to participate.

out a formula to frame various bits of American music into really pleasing stage pieces, with accompanying stories.

Of course, all theater productions have a location, but in two current very different, area plays, audiences are especially drawn into the site, which plays a distinctive part. And in both, music weaves the storylines together. “The Happiest Song Plays Last” by Quiara Alegria Hudes, a Pulitzer Prize winner, at Curious Theatre in Denver through Feb. 18, is the third — and I think most engaging segment — of “The Elliot Plays.” Theatrical storytelling which started in the last season, follows a young returned Puerto Rican/American veteran, Elliot, portrayed by Thony Mena, who is seeking a way out of wartime nightmares. He’s a Philadelphia city boy, but influenced by familial folklore and music as he finds a path. Activism plays a part in this play, which opens with a traditional band and singers. Elliott is a movie star on location in Jordan. Throughout, he is in contact with his activist cousin Yaz (GerRee Hinshaw), whom we met in the last play, and her story evolves throughout as well. Both storylines are appropriate here and now. The two-part set, designed by Markus Henry, features Yaz’s Philadelphia kitchen and home on one side and a movie set in Jordan on the other, while the musicians, especially luminous Satya Chavez, flow back and forth across the entire front part of the stage. Complex and multi-layered, it all flows well under Chip Walton’s careful direction. “Avenue Q,” playing through Feb. 4 at Town Hall Arts Center in Little-

ton, is a Triple Tony winner (Best Musical, Score, Book) and plays out in front of the apartment street front, cleverly designed by Michael Duran, with operant doors and windows. Its use of large hand puppets, and a few humans, is a unique presentation, requiring some extra skills from the actors/vocalists. Director Robert Wells called veteran choreographer/director Nick Sugar to help with complex moves. (At points, actors are singing and dancing in two voices, with a different puppet on each arm.) Recent college graduate Princeton (Charlie Schmidt and puppet) enters looking for an apartment he can afford and soon meets young teacher Kate Monster (a terrific Carolyn Lohr) who longs to build a school for little monsters — “people of fur.” Other residents include Trekkie Monster, a porn fan (TJ Hogle); Christmas Eve, an Asian therapist (Arlene Rapal), whose wedding attire is noteworthy; her fiance Brian; tough-talking puppet Nicky (Mark Shonsey); and the Bad Idea Bears (Hogle and Leslie Randle, who also plays overbearing Mrs. Thistlethwaite, Kate’s boss.) Gary Coleman, the apartment manager, is played by Anna High, who has filled the role multiple times. This diverse crew of puppets and people lapse into profane language at times, not appropriate for little people, whom you might think are the audience for a show inhabited by puppets.

Valor wins wrestling tournament Rock Canyon fourth at 10-team competition BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Valor Christian earned top honors and Rock Canyon took fourth place in the team standings at the Jan. 21 Jaguar Invitational Dual Match Wrestling Tournament. More than 100 athletes wrestled in the day-long tournament at Rock Canyon High School. The tournament was run on a dualmatch, pool format, with each team wrestling four opponents in pool competition. The teams were then seeded according to pool records. Valor had three wins and a tie in pool matches to earn a spot against Eaglecrest in
the placement match for the meet championship. The Eagles gave up 24 points in forfeits at four weights but won seven of the remaining 10 matches to win the team tournament title, 37-36. Rock Canyon finished pool matches with a 3-1 record to earn a match with Fossil Ridge in the placement match to determine third place. Fossil Ridge won the bout, 52-22, so the Jaguars finished fourth. Valor coach Tim Welch said hard work by the wrestlers has resulted in the development of a strong program. “This is my fourth year as coach and the progress is amazing,” he said. “The first year I was the coach, one wrestler qualified for state. This year, we have a number of wrestlers with the skills to advance to the state tournament.” He said one plus is the youth pro-
gram. “We have parents and couple assistants working with our elementary and middle school wrestlers,” he said. “There is a rookie program for beginners and an experienced program for those who have been with us a while. It is a great feeder program and we are beginning to see the fruits of it.” Rock Canyon coach Martin Castro said the Jaguars are coming along strong thanks in part to its youth program. “We are a young team, we are 20 strong and doing pretty well so far this season,” the coach said. “This year we have 47 kids in youth wrestling in one middle school and 30 kids in another youth program.” The coach said the individual leaders are Andrew Castro, who is 23-8 at 120 pounds and Connor Smith, also 23-8 at 138 pounds.

hen Ashley Zoerner said that she started riding her bike without training wheels when she was 3, I figured she must be a pretty good cyclist. And for a change, I was right. Zoerner, a senior OVERTIME at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, won the Junior Women’s 17-18 Cyclocross National Championship, held Jan. 3-8 in Hartford, Connecticut. It took Zoerner 39 minutes, 43 seconds Jim Benton to finish on the course covered with snow, ice and ruts. She was seventh overall in the Women’s U23 division and earned a spot in the 2017 Bieles UCI Cyclocross World Championships Jan. 28 and 29 in Bieles, Luxembourg. Cyclocross is an off-road event in which riders can encounter grass, dirt, mud, gravel, sand, hills and sometimes snow. Courses include barriers no more than 18 inches tall and cyclists often put their bikes on their shoulders to get over barriers and through thick mud. “The toughest part of a race is when I have to do a lot of running,” Zoerner said. “We usually have to get off our bikes and run over barriers. Anything you can’t ride over, you have to get off your bike.” Zoerner, who plans to go to college next year and hopes to get on professional teams for both road cycling and cyclocross, has her sights set on a good finish in the world championships. “I hope to be competitive, ideally in the top 20,” she said. “This is my first year and I’m one of the youngest girls competing in the category. I just want to have a good race and see if I can compete on the international level.”
Drawing attention It’s sometimes hard to get attention while playing on a basketball team that is struggling. Littleton’s Sam Kail and Garrett Martin of Standley Lake are two of those under-publicized players — but they haven’t been overlooked by opposing defenses. Kail, a 5-foot-10 senior, is scoring 18.6 points a game for the 1-12 Lions. Coach Ryan Fletcher points out that Kail is the focus for opposing defenses and he’s had to work hard for shots and been forced to shoot from farther out this season. Still, he has scored 20 or more points in seven games. Martin, a 6-foot junior, is scoring 19.5 points per game for the 2-13 Gators. “He’s a special athlete and a better person,” coach Mike Puccio said. SEE BENTON, P25

Few pools available for schools
Many teams in metro area must head off campus to practice and compete BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Athletes like Kiara Jasunas and Holley Dennis sometimes feel they have been left high and dry as high school swimmers. There are 29 girls swimming teams in the north, south and west metro areas covered by Colorado Community Media, but only four teams — three in the Littleton Public Schools District and Cherry Creek High School — have swimming pools on campus. That makes it inconvenient for swimmers, who must practice at outside facilities. Money is spent on rent and the workout sessions are often at inconvenient times. “I’m used to having to rush to practices or rush to try to make a meet,” said Jasunas, a junior at Mountain Vista in Highlands Ranch. “We have to leave class early to make a meet, whereas if we had a pool, we could have extra time in our classes. I drive myself, but usually we have big car pools going and take whoever we can grab.” Dennis is a Mountain Vista freshman who isn’t old enough to drive. “It’s really hard because my mom
Heritage swimmers look to their coach for instructions for the next portion of their practice session while many of their teammates wait on the pool deck for their turn to practice. TOM MUNDS can’t take me to the 3:15 practices,” Dennis said. “So I have another parent that takes me and a couple other girls to practice because my mom has to work until 4.” Swimming isn’t the only sport that has to search for places outside the school grounds to practice and play. Hockey, golf and some gymnastics teams face the same problems. Coaches and athletes are quick to list the disadvantages of not having a pool in the building, starting with the times for practices that sometimes interfere with school work, problems with getting enough pool time for both varsity and junior varsity swimmers, and the cost to rent recreation centers for practices and meets.
“Not having a pool definitely creates problems because it’s not only all the four (Highlands Ranch) high schools that are fighting over pool space, but there are year-round club teams,” Dennis said. “We have these crazy times where we have to race out of school to get to our 3:15 practice. Some practices are like at 7:30 to 9 at night and we have other things to do, so if we don’t get it done before practice we have to stay up even later than 9:30.” A place of their own As schools with pools, Arapahoe, Littleton, Heritage and Cherry Creek can include swimming in the physical education curriculum and can schedule practices before or after school. They
also can rent pool time to club teams or other schools to help defray the expense of maintaining a pool. Arapahoe girls and boys swimming coach and physical education teacher Mike Richmond said he gets students from his swimming classes to go out for the team. Some have become good varsity swimmers. “I walk in the pool every day and feel very fortunate to be in a school with a pool,” Richmond said. “No doubt, we get kids to come out for the team. There is networking that goes on about the culture of swimming at our school. There is a lot more support in general.” No one interviewed was comfortable estimating the cost of building a pool at a school or the upkeep costs. G But according to USA swimming, the estimated cost to construct a pool o is $180 a square foot. Depending on the pool size and the deck, the price tag H for a pool could range from $850,000 w to more than $3 million. This doesn’t include the price for spectator seating, showers, dressing rooms and offices. Estimated operational costs, according to USA Swimming, run from $113,400 a year to $244,440, depending on size. All the schools in the Cherry Creek School District except Overland have pools. Larry Bull, the district’s athletic director, said the pools are beneficial and some of the operational costs are SEE POOLS, P25

has an agreement that allows the Castle View/Douglas County co-op team to swim at the Castle Rock Community Recreation Center. Chaparral travels to Grandview to practice and Legend rents time from Cherokee Trail for practices. Jefferson County does not offer compensation for the rent of recreation centers, so athletic fees for swimmers are hiked, an additional $100 for example at D’Evelyn, and swimmers have fundraising activities during the season to help with expenses. The Veterans Memorial Aquatics
Center in Thornton is an Adams 12 Five Star Schools facility. It was built with a joint-use agreement with the city. District high school teams have priority over any other users. “The city owned the land, sold it to the district with the understanding that the facility would be leased to the city at a discount rate,” said Legacy High School coach Diana Wiles. “It works very well. A district pool is more practical than a single high school having their own pool.” But some, like Mountain Vista coach Rob Nasser, are left wishing they had
access to an on-campus pool. “I think the best answer for everyone (in Douglas County) could very well be a district pool that mirrors VMAC in Thornton, but scheduling at a facility like this could still become problematic,” Nasser said. “However, in my decades in the area, it’s apparent that as pool-starved as we are here, multiple pools at schools wouldn’t go to waste at all. Yes, many programs are doing well, but many of us sure wonder if we aren’t missing out on many additional opportunities by not having pools at our schools.”
“Yes we were trying to hold one but got very little response from other schools,” Highlands Ranch Athletic Director Bruce Wright said. The first female tournament that was held in Frederick on Jan. 14 drew 80 girls from 42 schools. Girls interested in competing in the event at Chatfield must be members of their high school teams but they do not have to have been on the team since the
beginning of the season. They need to have had five practices before competing.

Third-period goals propel Bruins Hard work pushes Cherry Creek past Mountain Vista BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cherry Creek’s hockey team donned hard hats in the third period and pulled out a 3-0 Foothills Conference victory over Mountain Vista on Jan. 20 at Family Sports Center in Centennial. Creek, ranked third in the CHSAANow.com poll, scored three goals in the third period and freshman goalie Ryan Romanow, who was inserted into the game because of an ejection late in the second period, was solid in closing the door with several third-period saves. “We’ve had a hard hat the last few years,” Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki said. “One of the things we wanted to do was get to the net and get that dirty goal. A player gets a hard hat when he works the hardest with a lunch-bucket mentality. We got two of those goals tonight.” Both squads are co-op teams
Cherry Creek defenseman Garret Glaspy, right, clears the puck during the third period of the Jan. 20 Foothills Conference game against Mountain Vista at Family Sports Center. Glaspy scored the first of three Bruins goals in the third period in a 3-0 victory over the Golden Eagles. JIM BENTON drawing players from different schools within the district. The Bruins’ roster comprises players from, in addition to Creek, Grandview, Eaglecrest, Cherokee Trail, Woodside Baptist and Smoky Hill. The seventh-ranked Golden Eagles’ roster has players from Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista. Key moments Starting Creek goalie Kyle Englert received a five-minute game misconduct penalty
with 3:03 remaining in the second period and Creek skated shorthanded for the first 1:57 of the final period but killed the penalty. Defenseman Garret Glaspy scored at 4:54 to break the scoreless tie. The tally proved to be the game-winner. “The puck was coughed up in the middle, I saw it, stepped up, tried to put it far side and it went of the goalie’s glove,” Glaspy said. “We were determined to come out hard on the penalty kill and try to stop them.”
Key players/statistics Glaspy, Diego Lovato and Sam Harris scored the goals for Creek. Lovato, a senior at Grandview, also had an assist in the game and his goal was meaningful because a minute earlier, Vista goalie Brandon Sego stopped a penalty shot by Lovato. “That made me feel great,” Lovato said. “I was really happy because I went back out and was excited because I didn’t get put on the bench and got the team’s second goal. I really wanted to bury it and no one was going to stop me.” Sam Harris, a Cherry Creek senior, scored into an empty net for the game’s final goal. Danny Taggart, Adam Frances and Conor Heathershaw were credited with assists during the game. Cherry Creek outshot the Golden Eagles, 35-16, and neither team managed a power play on nine attempts, with Vista going 0-for-5. Sego, a junior at Highlands Ranch, made 30 saves for Mountain Vista. He had 34 saves, including 22 in the second and third periods, last season when the Golden
Eagles beat Creek, 4-3, in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. Englert, a Grandview junior, made seven saves and Cherokee Trail freshman Romanow was credited with 10 stops. They said it “We knew what their coach was telling them that they could turn the game around at the start of the third period,” said Mielnicki about the start of the third period against Vista. “For us, all we wanted to do was do our job. We put guys that actually hadn’t been on the penalty kill out there and gave them the opportunity to show their skill.” Going forward Cherry Creek, 5-1-0 in the Foothills Conference and 8-2-0 overall, faces back-to-back Conference games at Family Sports Center against topranked Regis Jesuit on Jan. 27 and Ralston Valley on Jan. 28. Mountain Vista, 3-4-1 and 6-4-1 after a 3-1 victory over Ralston Valley on Jan. 21, plays Heritage at South Suburban Jan. 27 and tests Regis on Jan. 28 at Family Sports Center.
