Creek junior captures crown Matt Finesilver wins championship, while brother Josh finishes third; Bruins seventh as a team By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek junior Matt Finesilver goes into every wrestling match with the belief that he can dominate. He did just that Feb. 21 at the Pepsi Center when he captured the Class 5A, 132-pound state championship with an 11-2 decision over Pomona’s Jason Romero. “Whenever I go into a match, I always believe in my heart that I’m the best guy out there and I’m going to dominate,” said Finesilver. “If you don’t believe like that, it is hard to win. My freshman year at state I went two and out, and that was a heartbreaker. I just took my lumps and got better and dished it out.” His win over Romero capped a Wrestling continues on Page 9

Who better to talk about love of freedom and country than “Herbie the Love Judge”? Former Denver County Court Judge Herbert Galchinsky is known for being a prolific wedding officiant, presiding over as many as 70 a year and more than 2,000 throughout his career. But on Feb. 17, he took some time out to preside over the 2015 Sertoma Freedom Week Awards Luncheon at Pinehurst Country Club, praising the eighth-grade essay winners for expressing themselves so articulately. “Sometimes we take freedom for granted,” he told them. “Don’t take it for granted. Work hard to preserve it. Freedom, to me, means choosing your own destiny, and these young people are off to a good start.” Twenty-seven middle-schoolers from throughout central Colorado and the Front Range, sponsored by the region’s 13 Sertoma Clubs, were invited to attend the “winners circle” luncheon. They earned plaques and $100 each for their freedomthemed essays. “The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” reads the event program. “We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.” Jayla Barnes from Thunder Ridge Middle School in Aurora and Karmelle Dindinger from Euclid Middle School in Littleton netted an extra $200 each for claiming the top honors. “Freedom is an amazing privilege,” wrote Barnes. “It means everything from voting to standing up to what I firmly believe in. … I can practice my religious beliefs without worrying about being brutally tortured.” Barnes said she would likely use her winnings to pay for ballet classes, another passion. “I’m just really proud of all the hard work Sertoma continues on Page 9

Local trailblazer poised for new path South Suburban’s Lorenz retiring after decades of dedication to parks and rec By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Parks and Recreation, grew up in the rough-and-tumble world of north Denver, in the mainly Polish community of Globeville. Jeans, white T-shirts and tennis shoes were standard attire, and he and his friends knew how to have a good time. But he was smart and a good student, which led him on a path to the University of Colorado’s engineering program in 1961. “I didn’t fit in there,” he said. “Everybody had slide rules, and the buildings didn’t excite me.” Same story when he changed his major to business. But when a career counselor

suggested parks and recreation, he knew he’d found his calling and packed his bags for the University of Utah. “It was a hard decision, but one of my best decisions,” he said. “I left all my old friends behind. I was still dating girls from high school and running with the same crowd. It was good for me to get away.” After college, he volunteered for the Army at the height of the Vietnam War. With his degree in recreation, he hoped to be assigned to special services to help build morale among the troops. “But they said, `Son, there’s a war in Vietnam, and you’re going to Vietnam to the infantry just like everybody else,’ ” he remembers. It didn’t work out that way. Somebody made a mistake, he said, and he ended up in France, then Germany, running USO shows and service clubs and other activities. “We had a great time,” he said.

Contest puts big light on little ones Littleton Adventist has monthly program featuring newborns By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com While the Littleton Community Retreat is tackling the topic of the “Silver Tsunami” and the city recently opened the Aging Well Resource Center at Bemis Library, Littleton Adventist Hospital is running a campaign that reminds us that not everyone in Littleton needs a pair of Silver Sneakers. Meet Emery Grace Law, born on Dec. 12 of last year to Kerry and Renee Law. Emery is the hospital’s December poster child for Littleton Loves Little Ones, a monthly contest to help welcome newborns into the community fold. The Laws’ story is a fairly common one. Kerry and Renee grew up in Littleton, knew each other in the late 1990s at Littleton High School, and then followed their own paths right back to each other. They reconnected online, and have now been married for three years. When it was time to buy a home and start a family, their hearts led them home. After they looked at 55 houses in the area, they settled on one in the Heritage High School neighborhood, so that’s likely where little Emery will eventually go. “It’s a good place to be, with good schools and a good community,” said Renee Law. “I grew up near the High Line Canal, and there’s just something that’s very peaceful about it. I love all of the beautiful trails … and that they all converge right here is something that we really find attractive. And downtown Littleton has matured a lot and become more of an attraction. I’m always wandering around down there now with my stroller.” She said choosing Littleton Adventist as the place to bring Emery into the world was just natural. “Obviously, I’m local,” she said. “I got stitches here when I was a little kid.” Emery surprised everyone by needing to make an entrance two weeks earlier than expected, and Renee said the nurses were god-

Emery Grace Law, in the arms of her mom, Renee, is the December baby in the Littleton Loves Little Ones campaign at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Photo by Jennifer Smith sends all the way through the process. “I was emotional when I came into the hospital,” she said. “The nurses just started talking. They just kind of talked me through it. They really helped ease my emotional agony and prepare to go into labor. That womanly chatter was what I needed to get me through it, and it was a calm, beautiful labor and birth. And the night nurses, there’s something special and soft and sweet about them. They’re like angels.”

Lauren Brendel, hospital spokesperson, said that while it’s tough to choose a winner each month, the staff is having fun introducing the community to its newest members. “We thought it was a great way to share community members with each other, and to share the services we have here at Littleton Adventist Hospital,” said Brendel. “It’s getting people together to know each other in a different way.” And in the meantime, the proud parents

are having a blast getting to know their new baby. “Nobody can ever prepare you for the lack of sleep, but nobody can ever prepare you for the joy of seeing your child’s face for the first time, either,” said Renee Law. “Our expectation for Emery is just for Emery to be Emery, and we will support her.” To see other babies or to enter the Littleton Loves Little Ones contest, go to www. littletonloveslittleones.com.

Colorado residents are first to ask feds to block legal pot Owners of a horse farm and a hotel sue the state By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Colorado already is being sued by two neighboring states for legalizing marijuana. Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close. The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Feb. 19 in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuanalegalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors. The lawsuits are the first in a state that has legalized recreational or medical marijuana in which its own residents are appealing to the federal government to block pot laws. “It is a bedrock principle of the Unit-

ed States Constitution that federal law is the supreme law of the land,’’ said David Thompson, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. The lawsuits are also the first to claim that federal racketeering laws allow them to win damages from pot businesses that flout federal law. The plaintiffs have not specified amounts they would seek. Experts say the racketeering approach is a new one. “If these lawsuits are successful, it could be devastating for the industry,” said Sam Kamin, a University of Denver law professor who helped craft Colorado’s pot regulations. “But it will be very difficult for the plaintiffs to prove damages directly attributable to the marijuana industry.” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman released a statement saying she would “defend the state’s marijuana laws and our clients” if the lawsuits go to trial. Marijuana legalization supporters say that states are free to stop enforcing certain drug laws, as long as they don’t try to overrule the federal Controlled Substances Act. “Colorado has every right to stop pun-

ishing adults for using marijuana,” said Mason Tvert, who ran Colorado’s legalization campaign and joined about a dozen other legalization supporters who marched to the state Capitol on Feb. 19. They carried signs saying, “Regulation Works!” One legalization backer, Democratic state Rep. Jonathan Singer, said the pot industry has boosted tax coffers and hurt the black market. “The sky hasn’t fallen. We’re doing the right thing,” Singer said. Technically, federal law making pot illegal for any purpose remains in effect in the 23 states that have authorized its use for people with certain medical conditions. However, it’s not clear how far the federal government can go to compel states to enforce drug laws. For nearly 20 years, the U.S. Department of Justice has said that marijuana is illegal and that the federal government can enforce even small-possession crimes. However, U.S. authorities have left most enforcement to the states, saying they focus on larger drug crimes. One of the lawsuits came from the owner

of a Pueblo County horse farm, Hope Reilly, who said she’s “been horrified” to see a marijuana cultivation facility go up next door. “This land means a great deal to me,” said Reilly, who says the pot facility mars “spectacular views” of the Rocky Mountains. Also suing is the owner of a Holiday Inn, who argues that a pot shop opening nearby is keeping away families. “Marijuana businesses make bad neighbors,” the lawsuit says. “They drive away legitimate businesses’ customers, emit pungent, foul odors, attract undesirable visitors, increase criminal activity, increase traffic, and reduce property values.” Nebraska and Oklahoma also are suing Colorado for legalizing marijuana in 2012. Nine former heads of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed a brief Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the two states. Colorado’s pot law “impinges on the interests of all citizens and the United States in a uniform and coherent national drug policy,” the brief says.

Republicans move pro-fracking measure ahead of report Senate bill would bring penalties on local governments that limit drilling By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Republicans in Colorado’s Senate advanced a pro-fracking measure Feb. 20 that

makes a statement in advance of a longawaited report on new limits on the oil and gas industry. The Senate bill would penalize local governments that limit drilling procedures, especially hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. When a government makes a mineral owner’s underground property less valuable, the government should pay the owner, Republicans said. “People have a right to be

compensated,” said Sen. John Cooke, RGreeley. Democrats opposed the measure, which faces almost certain defeat in the Democratic House. They argued that if mineral owners are owed money for fracking bans, then surface property owners should be owed money, too, if drilling near their homes diminishes property value. “It’s a dangerous place,” said Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver. Drilling has been the elephant in the room this session, with lawmakers avoiding

the divisive topic until the release next week of a task force report on the dilemma. The task force was set up to broker compromise between the oil and gas industry and critics who say cities and counties should be free to place strict limits on drilling practices. For the last few years, lawmakers have tried and failed to agree on giving local communities more say in drilling regulations. Democrats expressed optimism that the task force would bring suggestions to make both sides happy.

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com From the start, we commend Town Hall Arts Center for producing a Pulitzer Prize drama, with a rock score — about a difficult subject. “Next to Normal,” by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, was nominated for nine 2009 Tony Awards and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by an Actress (Alice Ripley). In 2010, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story. In his notes, he quotes New York Times critic Ben Brantley, who observed: “It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel everything musical.” “Next to Normal” explores the dynamics of a suburban household that is coping with

The mix of great love and ongoing response to crisis keeps the audience on edge throughout the production. But that audience is also treated to a really beautiful score and thoughtful lyrics. The script illustrates the unevenness of the day-to-day life of everyone affected, but particularly the rough time Diana has trying to hold herself together for her family. Cast members bring strong voices. Lamb’s and Langhoff’s blend especially well. Jacquie Jo Billings gives a very strong performance as the couple’s teenage daughter Natalie, who wants to take control of her own life and is fearful that she may inherit the illness.

O U R S

Dreaming of hoops, sure as shootin’ Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played basketball. Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played anything. Maybe the radio. I am not trying to make a favorable impression. I just want to remind myself now and then that I wasn’t always a potato standing in front of an easel, or a potato working on a computer. This occurred to me when I read that Lonnie Porter, head basketball coach at Regis University for 38 years, is retiring. The article tells about his first basketball — it had laces — and the outdoor playing conditions in the winter in Indianapolis. As we get closer to March Madness, it just seems like I could use a little reminiscing. My sister was a high school cheerleader, and dated the star on the basketball team. My sister was a senior, and Rich was a sophomore, so there was talk. I was a junior, and desperately wanted to make the varsity in my senior year. Here’s a spoiler alert: I was the last player cut. The summer before my senior year, Rich did everything he could to improve my game. He drove us all over metro Cincinnati for pickup games with some of the city’s best players. I still hold on to that summer, 1964, with affection. Have you ever been to Cincinnati in

the summertime? It’s unpleasant. My least favorite weather is humidity. Are you good at something, but not very good or great? I was a good basketball player. After I was cut, I captained a team in a Sunday league, and was the league’s leading scorer. So what? It was like winning first prize at the state fair for my pigeon. But it’s a yellowed clipping that still makes me smile. I played intramurals at UCLA, where the intramural teams were exceptionally good. I loved basketball. Not as much now. The pro game not at all, and some of what I don’t like about the pros has made it down to the college level, but not all the way. Pro basketball is a lot like rugby. And dunks seem to be a big deal too often. My father was his school’s captain. Final scores would be 28-15 and 21-17. There was no such thing as a jump shot. He shot free throws underhanded, like everyone else. Much later, Wilt Chamberlain would do the same thing.

We are nearing March Madness, and it is more fun than just about anything in sports. It makes the college football playoffs and all of those ridiculous bowl games seem a little unfulfilling. My team won’t make it into the tournament this year, so I will choose another one. The neat thing is that it only takes five guys, not 22. So smaller schools, like Northern Iowa, have a chance. That can’t happen in football. One year a little school from Terre Haute, Ind., that no one had heard of, and really hasn’t been heard from since, made it all the way to the national championship game. It’s was “Hoosiers” before “Hoosiers.” (By the way, the kid who played Jimmy Chitwood, Maris Valainis, in “Hoosiers,” was cut each of the three times he tried out for his high school team.) I wore Converse All-Stars, because that’s all we had. They were white. When my father was playing, all they had was black. And our shorts looked like tighty boxers. If you’re old enough to remember: The little school from Terre Haute was Indiana State. They had a player named Bird. “Three, 2, 1, Smith from the corner. Scores!” In my sweetest dreams.

Leading by example is powerful If you are like me, you really enjoy it when you can see a leader leading by example. There are some who lead their families, others lead companies or teams, and still others lead communities, organizations, and associations. And yet the ones we seem to respect the most are NOT the ones who lead from afar, or give direction from the ivory tower; the ones we seem to gravitate towards are the leaders who lead from the front. In my line of work I have been truly blessed to have worked for leaders, coaches and trainers who have led by example. Men and women of character and integrity who wouldn’t ask others to do anything that they weren’t prepared to do themselves. I honestly believe that I would not have achieved success in both my personal life or my professional life had it not been for the leaders in the companies I worked for, the leaders who worked with me when I was the CEO or president, the leaders in my church, and the leaders in my community. And I say thank you to each one of them. So as you can see, I have a great appreciation for active, intentional leadership. If you are into history, one leader who led from the front, truly led by example, comes to mind: George Washington. If you haven’t read any of the books written about him, the book “1776” by David McCullough

is a great place to start. But I digress, so let me get back to our story. As I said, one of my very favorite things to observe is when managers, leaders, business owners, fathers, mothers, or others who are in a leadership role lead by example and we get to see it and witness their behavior. If we are smart enough, we may even try and emulate that behavior. And I have a recent story I would like to share with you about someone who truly leads by example. Her name is Nina Hinnendael. I happened to be skiing in Beaver Creek and had the opportunity to see for myself how Nina worked and led by example. She is a manager of a couple of “on-mountain” restaurants and actually the one person who inspired the Candy Cabin at the top of the Strawberry Park lift, chair 12 in Beaver Creek. Her attitude, smile, and work ethic speak for themselves. And as I sat there as a patron I was so impressed by the fact that

even as a leader and a manager, she was cleaning tables, greeting customers, socializing with guests, and directing her staff all at the same time, and I asked her permission to write this column. You see I am also a leader. I have a staff, I work in my community, I volunteer, and I get so caught up in my responsibilities I often forget that I should also be leading by example and manage and lead like Nina, doing some more of the heavy lifting. Now, if we focus on you, yes you, you the business owner, you the vice president, you the venture capitalist, you the manager, you the leader of your family, are you leading by example or are you relying solely on what you accomplished in the past? That is one of the challenges that we have, managers and leaders who have met with success but have forgotten what got us there in the first place … hard work, character, and effort. And we know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. How about you? Are you a Nina? Do you lead from the front and by example? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember what leadership is all about, it really will be a better than good week.

Construction-defects bill is needed fix Colorado is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous economic advantages that have lowered our unemployment rate, seen strong growth in several identified sectors and generated more than 70,000 new jobs in 2014, while the forecast for this year continues to trend upward. While economists predict a 2.5 percent growth rate for 2015, we are faced with an immense issue — skyrocketing housing costs. A recent analysis by Zillow showed renters would need to make $35 an hour to stay within the rule of thumb regarding share of housing costs to annual income. Denver is a desirable city for millennials who bring ideas, innovation, creativity and passion to the workplace. Our housing costs and lack of diversity threaten the very fabric of attainable and affordable options. As a leading statewide business organization, the Colorado Business Roundtable understands how important providing attainable housing is to community build-

ing. COBRT will be unabashedly relentless in our support of options that allow our first responders, teachers, and business community to not only work but also live within our cities and communities. We also have many seniors who desire to live near their children and grandkids who need lower-maintenance properties. Colorado’s construction-defects law passed in 2001 and has undergone several amendments since. Most cite the changes

passed in 2003 and 2007 that have caused owner-occupied, multi-family housing to shrink from 23 percent of the marketplace to 3.1 percent in 2014. While we can spend a lot of time looking at what got us to where we are today, we do not prefer to look in the rearview mirror but find creative, bipartisan, pragmatic ways to fix this issue. Senate Bill 177 is a bipartisan repair or fix in both the House and Senate that has done exactly what needed to happen: stakeholders sitting down and listening to all parties and learning from proposed legislation the past two years. The COBRT is proud to be a part of the Homeowner Opportunity Alliance, a large, diverse coalition of business leaders, trade associations, chambers of commerce and community leaders. The Colorado Business Roundtable strongly feels that homeowner rights Wasden continues on Page 9

Hers was another proud mom. “I’m very proud of her working hard at school, and to do her best at everything she does,” said Kristi Dindinger. “I just hope I was able to reach people by talking about freedom of religion practices,” said her daughter.

Lorenz Continued from Page 1

He successfully applied for an early out to get his master’s degree after nearly two years, and came home to Denver. In 1967, he heard about a job opening at South Suburban Parks and Recreation. He jumped at the chance to make $5,800 a year as the recreation supervisor. Back in the day, the district had just one fitness class, taught in the upstairs gym at Arapahoe High School. It managed just two pools, Harlow and Franklin, plus the AHS pool during non-school hours for the public. There also was just one skating rink. Boone’s Ice Rink was outdoors, on the southeast corner of Belleview Avenue and Windermere Street where Colorado Journey is now. Lorenz remembers it as the happening place to be in the late 1960s, with hockey players and figure skaters filling the ice. But there was one downside, recalls Lorenz. For a few nights each November, he’d round up a few of the hockey players to help him make the ice, taking shifts two or three hours at a time, drinking beer and eating pizza. And every time it snowed, he’d have to go shovel off the lake. “I thought, `What have I gotten into?’ I think I came down with pneumonia and was out for a while,” he remembers.

and protections will not be weakened or restricted by the passage of SB177. Senate Bill 177 ensures that construction issues within a condo or townhouse community are not only addressed fairly and quickly but take into account the rights of homeowners and respect the members of the association community. While every homeowner deserves the right to have, in most cases, their biggest investment protected and repaired in the case of an issue, SB177 stops the current practice in which a small number of owners — often a simple majority of a homeowners association board — can enter into legal action without the knowledge or authorization of the majority of homeowners. There are cases where homeowners have transferred or attempted to refinance their home and been told, much to their surprise, that they cannot because of pending legal action. This is not only egregious but morally wrong, in our view. According to state Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, SB177 differs from previous legislation in that it adds language requiring mandatory mediation and arbitration prior to filing a construction defects claim. This dispute resolution, as a way to repair or cure issues prior to initiating a lawsuit, creates a more favorable market for insurers, who cite the threat of litigation as a primary driver for the high cost of insuring owner-occupied,

dominating performance at the state tournament. Finesilver’s first match ended with a pin in 3:46 over Rock Canyon’s Josh Heifetz. He pinned Arvada West’s Nicholas Smith in 3:45 in the second round and won a 12-1 semifinal decision over Arapahoe’s John Daniel. “In our wrestling room, our coaches and teammates always try to push the pace,” said Finesilver, who finished the season with a 51-3 record. “We work the hardest in the state. It feels incredible to win. I’ll have a couple days to celebrate and then get back at it for next year.” Finesilver was the runner-up at 113 pounds last season. His older twin brothers, Mitch and Zach, who are now wrestling at Duke, both won championships last season. Josh Finesilver, Matt’s twin brother, finished third in the 106-pound bracket after a 9-0 decision over Grand Junction’s Dylan Martinez. Chaparral’s Hunter Matney beat Josh Finesilver, 13-4, in the semifinals. “My coaches told me after I lost in the semifinals that the only thing I can do is battle back and take third,” he said. “I kind of took that to heart and did the best I could to get third place, and I did that.

hundreds of fitness classes, dozens of playgrounds, four pools and nearly 100 miles of trails, along with every other amenity a community could hope for in its parks and recreation district. “I helped get the district from infancy to maturity,” he said. “I think it takes a different type of leadership to maintain what we have rather than to grow and mature, and I don’t find that exciting. It’s time to have a new voice, new vision and new expectations.” Lorenz Lorenz, 72, will retire March 31 after 48 years with South Suburban. “We have a quality staff, a quality board and we’re in good financial shape,” he said. “And in the last three years, all the cities I work with got new city managers. New relationships are being formed. Now is a good time for the district’s board to select the new leadership.” Charlie Blosten, Littleton’s public works director, says residents have greatly benefited from Lorenz’s leadership. “He’s helped make the area one of the most desired places to live in the Denver-metro area,” he said. “He has been involved in numerous efforts to improve and expand the trails, parks and open spaces that we all enjoy today and will for many years to come.” South Suburban serves more than 135,000 residents in Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, Lone Tree, western Centennial and portions of unincorporated Jefferson,

multi-family housing options. Alternative dispute resolution is a legally enforceable, effective, less costly way and — just as important — a less time-consuming method of resolving disputes. We want to stress the importance of creating a workable resolution process that is fair to homeowners. One that protects their rights, which fosters conditions that will allow the building of diverse and affordable housing options, and encourages new developments near light rail and transit stations. The Colorado Business Roundtable values the importance of community — one made of not only first-time home buyers and the millennial generation that brings so much creativity and enthusiasm but also seniors, firefighters, law enforcement and great workers in manufacturing, energy, technology and health sciences. Locally, communities like Lakewood and Parker have passed ordinances to create a local remedy to encourage or spur needed development within the multi-family, owner-occupied space. While we are appreciative of their efforts and successes, this is an area where our elected leaders at the state level need to step up and ensure the passage of SB177. From the House and Senate sponsors to leadership and the rank and file dedicated servant leaders, there is broad-based bipartisan support. Please reach out to your legislator and encourage him or her to support the passage of this important economic and community-building legislation. Jeff Wasden, a Highlands Ranch resident, is president of the Colorado Business Roundtable. He can be reached at jwasden@cobrt.com.

“The tournament went OK. Obviously I wanted to finish first. You got to do the best you can with what you have, be ready and keep working for next year and try to get to where I want to be.” Matt Finesilver and Chaparral’s Dane Drimmer were the two wrestlers from south Metro school to win state championships. Drimmer, who was third and second the past two seasons at the state tourney, won the 285-pound title with an escape late in the third period to earn a 5-4 decision over Pine Creek’s Taylor White. Matney lost the 106-pound title when Pomona’s Dayton Marvel scored a 3-2 victory. In other local results, Cherry Creek 145-pounder A.J. Curtis took fifth place with a 4-1 decision over Grandview’s Seth Brown. John Daniel of Arapahoe dropped a 6-2 decision to Jess Hankin of Coronado in the 132-pound, third-place match. Chaparral’s Dawson Cranmer defeated Heritage’s Jared Todd, 4-3, to place fifth at 152 pounds. Littleton junior Aron Pino Valenzuela finished fourth in the Class 4A 285-pound division. He was pinned in 42 seconds by Fort Morgan’s Jesus Ibarra in the third-place match and finished the season with a 34-8 record. In the Class 5A team standings, Creek finished seventh with 54 points while Chaparral was eighth with 52.5 points and finished just ahead of Ponderosa who was ninth with 52 points.

Douglas and Arapahoe counties. There is one thing Lorenz didn’t get done that he would have liked. “There were several times we had opportunities that didn’t materialize, but the one thing that stands out to me as I drive down Broadway is Marathon,” he said. The district had hoped to acquire the 77acre former Marathon Oil property at Broadway and Dry Creek Avenue and turn it into sports fields. But cities like their tax revenue, and it wasn’t to be. Bulldozers are currently turning over dirt to make way for Littleton Village, a residential and commercial development. It’s a big site, but only about half the size of Lorenz’s namesake park. David Lorenz Regional Park in Centennial, where Lorenz lives, is 150-plus acres of recreation on the site of an old landfill. It was actually his son’s brainchild, born of a love for BMX racing.

Retiring to ‘something’ Lorenz hopes his legacy is more than just a

park, though. “I hope I’m known for having integrity and making wise decisions about expenditures of funds, and for following through on our promises,” he said. “I hope the board hires someone with integrity, vision, ability to communicate and to operate. So much of what we do depends on relationships.” One major issue his replacement will have to deal with is the High Line Canal, says Lorenz. “It is in jeopardy,” he said. “We need to preserve and enhance it somehow. It’s going to be a long process.” Lorenz promises to not be a stranger to SSPR golf courses, parks, trails and other facilities, but also not to meddle. “I’m not interested at this time in going back to work anyplace, but the door’s open, so who knows what’s there once you walk through the door,” he says. “You don’t retire from something, you retire to something. I don’t have that something except to live and play and enjoy.”

FIREWORKS, DANCERS MARK

Chinese New Year Event is a tradition at Englewood’s Twin Dragon

By Tom Munds

tmunds @colorado communitymedia.com

orelei Towle-Bird timidly approached the costumed dancer to feed it the red gift envelop. “The dragon was fun, but it was a little scary too,” the 7-yearold said as she watched the dancers during the Chinese New Year celebration at the Twin Dragon restaurant in Englewood. Exploding firecrackers announced the entry of the three costumed lion dancers Feb. 20. A dancer operates a dragon-like gaily dedicated head while the other member of the team operates the long cloth body. “I operate the head, and that is a workout,” one of the dancers said. “The head weighs about 25 or 30 pounds. Swinging it around, getting up and down while opening and closing the mouth for 20 to 30 minutes isn’t nearly as easy as it looks.” The dancers are accompanied by the rhythmic pound of a drum, the crash of cymbals and the gong. Zoe Serafin, the youngest member of the team, used a wooden hammer to bang the gong in time with the drum. “My dad is one of the dancers and I like being with him,” the 8-year-old said. “It is a lot of fun because I don’t get into trouble making a lot of noise.” Josh and Laura Kilmer brought their daughter Skye to the Twin Dragon for dinner so they could watch the celebration. “The celebration was amazing,” the 7-year-old said. “It was very noisy. I liked the white dragon the best because of all the pretty colors, and it was shiny. I like it when the dragon blinked its eyes.” All tables were reserved for the annual event that restaurant owner Shiou Yun Wang said she tried to make authentic. “In China, the celebration is a lot like Christmas here,” she said. “It is a family time when everyone gathers to enjoy eating together. There are gifts as the country prints new bills that are put in the red gift envelop and exchanged.”

Five Colorado entries for the 2015 James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards have been named semifinalists in the coveted contest. They are: • Outstanding Pastry Chef — Yasmin Lozada-Hissom. She has been nominated several times but never won. The Beard Foundation seems to think she is still at Spuntino, but she and her husband, chef John Broening, sold it last year. According to the blog Culinary Colorado, she is developing products for Udi’s Granola. • Best Chef: Southwest — Alex Seidel, Fruition and Mercantile Dining & Provision; Dana Rodriguez, Work & Class and Steven Redzikowski of Oak at Fourteenth and Acorn. Rodriguez was previously executive chef at Bistro Vendome, where she was the culinary protégé of James Beard winner Jennifer Jasinski. • Outstanding Restaurant — Frasca Food and Wine. The James Beard Foundation will announce the final Restaurant and Chef Award nominees, as well as the nominations for the Book, Journalism, Broadcast Media and Restaurant Design Awards, at the James Beard House in New York City on March 24. The 2015 James Beard Awards gala will be held at the Lyric Opera of Chicago on May 4. The Foundation’s Book, Broadcast & Journalism Awards Dinner will take place at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York City on Friday, April 24. See all of the 2015 nominees at www. jamesbeard.org/blog/2015-restaurantand-chef-award-semifinalists.

Press club picks honorees

Lorelei Towle-Bird’s eyes are wide as she hands the gift envelope to one of the characters performing the lion dance.

Five distinguished journalists have been chosen to be inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame during the 20th Annual Denver Press Club Hall of Fame Banquet, beginning at 7 p.m. Sept.18.

The legendary Damon Runyon, for whom the club’s Damon Runyon Award is named, is being inducted posthumously. “This is a great class of inductees, with one of the nation’s top sports photographers, a top-notch political writer, a reporter who knows everything about Denver architecture and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist,” said Bruce Goldberg, president of the club’s board of directors. “We look forward to a great night of nostalgia and honoring solid journalism.” The banquet will be held at the club’s landmark building at 1330 Glenarm in Denver. Seating is limited and this event is always sold out. To purchase a ticket, go to www.blacktie-colorado.com, and click on Sept. 18. Tickets cost $65 per person.

“They’re an amazing organization and bring to the table a breadth of experience in the visual arts, both in the creativity of the artists that display with them but also the programming activities,” Bill Marino, chairman of the 40 West Arts District, told the Post. “We’re thrilled to have them.” There’s a whole new set of programming options being considered, including literary and performing arts, said Meg Quinn, council vice president. The group also wants to re-establish classrooms, get a solid revenue stream, rent the space out on occasion and have a larger gallery once the remodel is complete next month. “The new gallery is in a space with more square footage, it’s better organized and all on one level,” Quinn told the Post. “40 West will eventually have a gallery right next to ours, and being on Colfax and next to Casa Bonita, we hope will give us more visibility.” The building’s new owners, Broad Street Realty, offered to let the arts council stay lease-free for the first year.

Warriors shut down Bruins Cherry Creek girls still nab league title; both teams secure first-round byes in playoffs By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Signature wins can mean a lot for confidence this time of the year. Arapahoe senior Jennah Knafelc knew a win over Cherry Creek would strengthen the team’s confidence in its abilities and help the Warriors get a good seed in the state playoff bracket. The 56-44 win for Arapahoe was also the rubber match, as both teams each won a game against the other earlier in the season. Accurate outside shooting and stingy defense proved the winning combination Feb. 18. The senior Knafelc was one of the leading scorers for Arapahoe as she had 17 points. “Tonight wasn’t a great game for me tonight, but our whole team was excited going against Cherry Creek tonight,” she said. “We are an outside shooting team, and I like to shoot from outside. That can be our downfall sometimes, but we were on target tonight.” The Warriors knew their defense had to collapse to try to stop the Bruins’ inside attack, the senior Knafelc said. The game was physical and challenging. “Both teams played hard and it got pretty physical inside,” she said. “I got bounced around a little going inside tonight.” After the game, both coaches complimented the play of their opponent. “We knew we were playing a good basketball team, and I am proud of the way our girls played tonight,” Warriors Coach Jerry Knafelc. “We were selective when we took our shots, and defensively we tried hard not to give up any easy baskets. We did what we set out to do, and I am happy with the win.” Cherry Creek Coach Chris Curneen said the Warriors outplayed his team. “They are a good outside shooting team and were really on target tonight,” he said. “We like to work inside for our shots, and Arapahoe collapsed down in the lane and shut off our other scorers so it was a tough game for us.” The teams exchanged baskets in the opening minutes. But Arapahoe’s accurate outside shooting put points on the scoreboard while their defense kept Cherry Creek from scoring baskets to provide the Warriors a 17-2 advantage by the end of the first quarter. The Bruins battled back and narrowed the Warriors lead to 25-22 late in the second quarter. But the Warriors scored a basket and hit a three-pointers in the final minute to stretch the halftime advantage to 30-22.

Arapahoe’s Macy Ziegler drives past Cherry Creek defender Laura Pranger during the Feb. 18 basketball game. Ziegler scored, helping her team win the game 56-44. Photos by Tom Munds Cherry Creek made a couple scoring runs in the second half but didn’t cut deeply into the Arapahoe lead as the Warriors went on to win the game, 56-44. “I am so happy with this win,” Knafelc the coach said. “We are a good shooting team, and we shot pretty well tonight. Defensively, we knew their offense focused on inside shots, so we tried to close that down. We didn’t stop Molly Rohrer because she is a great player and she scored a lot of points, but we did close off most of the rest of their players.” Meanwhile, Cherry Creek’s goal is to learn from the game against Arapahoe in preparation for moving forward to the state playoffs, Curneen said. “We wanted to win this game but it didn’t happen,” Curneen said. “But I told the girls we need to put this behind us and focus on the future, because all our goals are still ahead of us.” Cherry Creek’s attack was led by the play of Rohrer, who scored 29 points for the Bruins.

Teams seek small victories amid big losses Lessons for both sides of blowouts in high school girls basketball By Jim Benton

Heritage coach Steph Rogers encourages her players to ignore the scoreboard. Arvada coach Justin Carpenter uses teambuilding activities. Lopsided scores in high school basketball this season, particularly in the girls game, have presented challenges for coaches on both the winning and losing sides. It’s common to see metro-area girls games decided by 20 points or more — sometimes, a lot more. Blowout scores of 83-27, 75-8 and 52-9, just to name a few, have been recorded this season. That makes it hard for the winning coaches to have their team focus on what they have practiced and keep starters in the game. Losing coaches have to be concerned about not letting their players get embarrassed and discouraged. Rogers’ Eagles have been on both sides, notching a 43-point victory and absorbing 43- and 44-point Continental League defeats.

“It’s easy to tell your team to work on different things if you’re playing a team that doesn’t have the talent that you do,” said Rogers, whose team finished the regular season 10-13, rebounding from winning a combined six games the past two years. “You stop pressing or trapping and work on the fundamentals of the game. “The other side is hard. I just try and tell my players during the game that I’m not looking at the score. I’m looking at us and what we’re doing, our energy and our execution. Focus on small victories within the game, being positive and trying to teach them when they do something wrong.” Lutheran’s girls have one of the best Class 3A teams in the state and during one six-game stretch this season had an average winning margin of 43.8 points per game. Lions coach Mark Duitsman said he remembers not long ago when his team was on the losing side of lopsided games. “Sometimes there was nothing that either side could have done differently to decrease the margin of victory, but sometimes you couldn’t help but feel the score was being run up on you unnecessarily,” he said. “I promised myself at that time that if we ever found ourselves on the other end, if we ever became the heavily favored team, that we would always show respect to the game Blowout continues on Page 16

Blowout Continued from Page 14

and our opponent.” The boys and girls state playoffs began Feb. 24. While the games should, in general, be closer, the potential for blowouts remains, at least in the first couple of rounds.

The dilemma

Blowout victories gain national attention each year. Earlier this season, a girls coach in California was suspended for two games after Arroyo Valley defeated Bloomington High, 161-2. The Colorado High School Activities Association has not adopted a mercy rule for basketball, but leagues have been encouraged to address the issue. “So many of our coaches understand the value of high school competition,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann. “They are not looking to humiliate anybody, they are not looking to send a message by running up the score. The vast majority of coaches have empathy because they have been on both sides of these kinds of scores and they know how to address and how to develop game plans when they may be playing a foe that is overmatched by their team. They are teaching great lessons when they are doing it that way.” But trying to manage the margin isn’t easy. “You work so hard to make things automatic for your players, then you have to suddenly tell them to not play that way,” Duitsman said. “It’s easier said than done. What often gets lost in this discussion is the lack of playing time for our top rotation. Our starters have spent most of the second half of the games on the bench this semester.” Castle View girls coach Matt Hema can speak from both the winning and losing side. When his team is winning by a large margin, like 25 points or more, he’ll have the players call off the press on defense.

Arapahoe Continued from Page 14

It also was a special night for her as a successful free throw was her 1,000th career point at Cherry Creek. “We knew it would be a hard game tonight and they would come after us, but we didn’t

And his starters and top reserves will generally play only three quarters of a blowout. “Where gamesmanship and sportsmanship come into conflict is when coaches that are down see an opportunity to press the other team’s reserves in order to close the gap in a game that has probably already been decided with less than a quarter to play,” he said. “What does the winning team do? Allow the reserves to get pressed and taken advantage of or put starters back in to match the other team’s level of play? The other coach and parents get upset that your starters are in the game late.”

Learning lessons, having fun

Carpenter is athletic director in addition to being Arvada’s girls basketball coach. His young team won only three games this season, losing by an average of 30.5 points a game. “We have been trying to place importance on the smaller, more measurable things as opposed to the games themselves,” Carpenter said. “Things like holding the other team’s leading scorer to below her average and scoring every quarter. When we played at Valor Christian we stopped on the way home as a team and had Chick-fil-A and ice cream sundaes. Incorporating team-building activities like that has helped.” Rock Canyon has been on the winning and losing ends of blowouts a few times this season. Junior Jaguar Sydney Smith said the big losses serve as motivation. “It just made us come back to practice and work harder,” she said after a 21-point loss to Highlands Ranch on Feb. 19. Learning to be a good winner is important, too. “Once we get up by about 15, we’ll start subbing the bench and then when we get up by about 20, most of my starters won’t play anymore,” said Chris Cureen, coach of the Cherry Creek girls team. “We can do little things, like we have to have so many passes before you can shoot the ball and you have to play a certain defense. There are ways you can play the game without it getting completely out of whack.”

come out as strong as we should have,” Rohrer said. “Arapahoe did a good job of collapsing in the lane and making it hard to score in the paint.” She smiled as she talked about scoring 1,000 points for Cherry Creek. “I have played on the varsity for four seasons, and scoring 1,000 career points is a milestone,” Rohrer said. “I love basketball, and, after graduation, I plan to go to CSU-Pueblo to play college ball.”
