Mom gets four-year sentence in crash
ALL IS FAIR
Woman who had been drinking drove into vehicles at school Staff report A Parker woman was ordered to spend the next four years in prison for crashing into a line of vehicles occupied by parents waiting to pick up their kids from school. Prosecutors said 40-year-old Kelly Denise Carrothers had a bloodalcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit when she crashed into a row of vehicles sitting outside of North- Carrothers east Elementary School in the Pinery in November 2012. She was sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Paul King on Aug. 1. Carrothers pleaded guilty in May to DUI vehicular assault, reckless vehicular assault, child abuse and driving under the influence. Carrothers’ Chevrolet Silverado crashed into a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, which was crushed between two vehicles near North Pinery Parkway and Windwood Way. The driver of that vehicle suffered serious head injuries, including the loss of an eye. The pickup truck hit a Ford Escape,

Scattered rain showers weren’t enough to keep the crowds away from the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo on Aug. 10. Carnival rides were churning out screams and games were turning out winners, including a few who went home with a goldfish. The indoor expo featured a variety of entrepreneurs, from face-painters to drone salesmen to taffy purveyors to martial arts gurus.

Firefighting crews put vacant store to use South Metro trains at old King Soopers building in Cottonwood By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com South Metro Fire Rescue didn’t hesitate when it was offered the opportunity to use the vacant King Soopers building in Parker’s Cottonwood subdivision for training. The abandoned space — scheduled for demolition this fall — is the perfect place for firefighters, medics and supervisors to run through scenarios. For six days earlier this month, South Metro conducted drills, testing first-responders on their ability to deal with a mass-casualty incident in which five people are “injured” by a scaffolding collapse. The call, however, comes in as a fire, and the first safety officer on scene must recognize that other resources will be needed, said Lt. Brian Netzel, adjunct instructor for the fire department. “It’s a realistic scenario to show up on a fire alarm and end up with who knows what,” he said. “In this case, it’s more than a medical call.

It’s a mass-casualty incident.” A mock patient played by a South Metro firefighter yells that his chest and legs hurt as personnel entered the unlit building with flashlights. The victim is purposefully placed near the entrance to distract the crews. To correctly assess the situation, Netzel said, one firefighter or medic should be assigned to that patient while the rest move on. “Your conscious patients that are screaming for help draw you to them, but it’s usually the unconscious ones that need your help,” said Netzel, who is a firefighter based in station 44 near Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. The responders who were tested the afternoon of Aug. 8 made the right decision, and moved on to a separate part of the building, where another mock patient was buried in rubble and, per the scenario, impaled by a pipe that had to be cut away. Firefighters pulled the debris off of the patient and wheeled him out to a waiting ambulance. Separate groups of South Metro personnel were tasked with triaging, extracting, extricating, treating and transporting patients. The battalion chief, who takes over command when he arrives on scene, oversaw the entire flow. In all, three shifts from 17 stations were cycled through during the six-day training period,11:26 which planned with one week’s 7/21/14 AMwas Page 1

Volunteer focuses on domestic violence Crisis Center provides shelter, legal help, more for victims By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com By day, Becki Rupp answers the phone and sends out emails, helps on presentations and plans events. The 44-year-old marketer for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield likes her job, but it’s what she does at the Crisis Center — serving Douglas and Elbert counties — that fulfills her. “It allows me to help plan and support the initiative that will help people,” Rupp said. “And improve their lives in the long term.” Her introduction to the Crisis Center started in 2009 when she volunteered at the Future for Families Gala, an annual fundraiser for the organization that provides a safe house and services for victims of domestic violence. From there, Rupp volunteered at the safe house and, more recently, joined the board of directors. “She’s got an incredible heart for the organization,” said Jennifer Walker, executive director of the Crisis Center. “An all-around great volunteer.” After helping with the gala, Rupp saw how the Castle Rock-based organization was making a difference, so she decided to volunteer at the center’s shelter. She volunteered there for about three years, dedicating three hours a week. The shelter is a 28-bed safe house in a confidential location for victims of domestic violence. Men, women and children may stay at the shelter to escape abuse, said Lynn Adams, marketing and community outreach coordinator for the Crisis Center. “It’s really eye-opening to see how it plays out in people’s lives,” she said, adding that her time at the shelter gave her a firsthand look at the effects of domestic violence. Rupp joined the 11-member board of directors in January 2013. She wanted to bring her marketing skills and previous experience from work with other nonprofit organizations to the center.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NEAR YOU • Domestic violence is the number one violent crime in Douglas County, from a law enforcement perspective, and it is often under-reported. • Areas that experience a lot of growth, such as Douglas County, especially have a need for services in order to address the problem. • Abuse happens everywhere, even in affluent communities. • Domestic violence crosses all ages and both genders, all ethnic groups, and all socioeconomic levels. • Research shows that 95 percent of boys and 72 percent of girls who witness domestic violence will carry abuse into their adult relationships, as either the victim or the perpetrator. • The Crisis Center serves 1,000 to 1,200 domestic violence victims a year in Elbert and Douglas counties. Those numbers do not include calls to the crisis line. Source: The Crisis Center
WHAT THE CRISIS CENTER DOES • It provides general community outreach, informing residents about the services the organization offers and opportunities for community members to get involved. • Offers children’s and legal advocates for clients, and provides seven professionally trained therapists. In addition, about 300 people volunteer at the shelter. • It holds fundraising efforts to support the safe house and the organization’s services. • There are 11 domestic violence shelters in the Denver metro area that work with the Crisis Center. Those shelters work closely together to provide a safe place for victims. “The dynamics shift a little,” she said. “The board serves as the executive director’s boss.” At the shelter, Rupp interacts with one to 10 people per week. As a board member, she cannot work directly with clients, but her efforts affect a larger number of people. “This work has the opportunity to have an impact on the bigger picture,” Rupp said. Clients who come to the shelter are not the only ones who benefit from the services and support the organization offers. The shelter also provides outpatient therapy and counseling, education and advocacy for the community.

The Tour de Ladies is a women-only cycling event in which the proceeds benefit the Castle Rock-based Crisis Center that serves all of Douglas and Elbert counties. Photo by David Starck Often, people who are not directly exposed to domestic violence fail to notice the impact on society, Rupp said. A person who is abused cannot be a productive community member, one example being in the workplace, she said, and children who are exposed to domestic violence may develop behavioral problems or have troubles in school, thus affecting their peers. Intervention is important, but education and prevention are also critical, Rupp said. “(It’s) not just slapping a Band-Aid on the immediate situation, but healing the deeper wound,” she said. “Reaching way beyond the shelter, deep into the community.” She may not be able to end world hunger, or create world peace, Rupp said, but “you’ve got to start somewhere.” For Rupp, that somewhere is the Crisis Center. “It fulfills,” she said, “the do-gooder in me.”
LOOKING FOR HELP JENNIFER WALKER, executive director of the Crisis Center, said the organization’s board of directors is looking to add five more members. “WE’RE LOOKING for people who are strong leaders with good connections in the community, (who are) not afraid to be ambassadors of the agency,” Walker said. INTERESTED CANDIDATES can contact Walker at 303688-1094 or jwalker@thecrisiscenter.org. WHAT THE board of directors does: • STRATEGIC and long-range planning, including budgeting
• PROVIDES oversight for the organization • MAKES sure the organization is meeting its mission • TAKES into account world and local views on domestic violence

Project brings frontage road closure Portion of San Luis Street set for demolition in I-25 construction By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com An I-25 frontage road and part of an existing on-ramp will be demolished as part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s lane-balancing project that begins this month. A portion of San Luis Street running north from Lincoln Avenue to Bierstadt Way east of I-25 is slated for demolition to make way for an expanded interstate on-ramp and ease traffic flow to the ramp. In its place, a multi-use trail will be constructed just east of the current street. The stretch of San Luis that extends from Bierstadt Way, on which Hacienda Colorado and the Lincoln Station pedestrian overpass is located, to Jamaica
Street will remain. “Right now there’s a really confusing intersection on Lincoln just east of I-25,” CDOT project manager Dole Grebenik said, referring to the San Luis/Lincoln intersection. “The existing San Luis alignment will become the new I-25 on ramp. It lines up better with the intersection. It’s safer and has better visibility. The existing I-25 on-ramp is going to be removed and abolished completely.” CDOT will construct a 10-foot-wide, multi-use trail from Lincoln Avenue north on the east side of San Luis’ current alignment. No businesses have direct access to San Luis on the portion that is set for demolition. “The frontage road is more of a back road to here, so I don’t think it’s going to affect us much,” Hacienda Colorado host Nicole Vargo said, adding most people use Meridian Boulevard to reach the restaurant. “We are always very busy. I don’t think anyone will let a closed road keep them from their Mexican food.” The Candlewood Suites hotel also

CDOT calls lane effort a success Short-term congestion tactic likely to be used elsewhere By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Department of Transportation said its through-lane experiment on southbound Interstate 25 has been a success, and it likely will use the strategy elsewhere in the state. The method included adding a solid white lane to designate the left-hand lane from about Dry Creek Road to near RidgeGate Parkway for through traffic only. It is set for elimination as the two-year lane-balancing project gets underway this month. Some Douglas County residents who have used the lane gave it a tentative thumbs-up. “I think the concept is great,” said Larkspur resident Lee Martin. “I like the idea of being able to get past, especially at that Lincoln exit that jams up so bad. If we can keep that steady flow going on for people going south, I think it’s a great idea. “But I think in the limited time it was used, the public didn’t get it. It kind of irritated me that people were still crossing in and out of the lane. There would need to be some public education done on it. In a longer period of time, I think that would happen.”
Martin also said the dedicated lane seemed irrelevant later in the evenings, when traffic was light. Castle Rock resident Rachel Moszer said restricting one lane had a negative impact on the remaining lanes. “If you were getting onto I-25 before Dry Creek, it worked pretty well,” she said. “But it created a bit more of a bottleneck getting onto I-25 (south) from C-470 during rush hour because there were only a couple of lanes available, and everyone was crammed into them.” Like Martin, she noticed many drivers disregarded the white line. “It’s annoying for the people that are trying to respect it and not just cross over,” she said. CDOT spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said driver feedback she heard was positive. “From the traveling public’s point of view, it has seen a lot of success,” she said. “We will most likely be implementing a similar project elsewhere in the state.” The dedicated lane can only be used on sections of highway with at least three lanes of traffic. This month, CDOT is beginning a $35 million project to add an additional lane in each direction of I-25 between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road. The project will continue through December 2016 and will alleviate the bottlenecks created by traffic merging onto and off of I-25 at both C-470 and Lincoln.

Lone Tree’s Millet named DRCOG chair Mayor pro tem replaces former county commissioner By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet recently was appointed chair of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. She steps in for former Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, who resigned to accept a positon as the Child Welfare Hotline system manager for the Colorado Department of Human Services. Millet, elected the group’s vice chair in February, has represented Lone Tree on the DRCOG board since 2010. The council brings regional leaders together to speak with one voice on transportation and development issues. It’s also the federally designated Area Agency on Aging, Established in 1995, it is one of the country’s three oldest councils of governments. MemMillet bers include nine metro-area counties and 47 municipalities. “It really does provide great opportunity for a much broader perspective, not only of the Denver metro, but nationally and even beyond the borders of the United States,” Millet said. DRCOG has a Sister Cities International partnership with Baghdad, which promotes the exchange of ideas and under-
standing between the two entities. DRCOG helps ascertain how federal transportation money is used in the region. It is also working on Metro Vision 2040, an update of a regional plan first drafted in 1997 that focuses on transportation, development and the environment. In its 40th year as a designated Area Agency on Aging for the region, DRCOG also plans and provides services for older and disabled adults. A civil engineer, mother of two and resident of Lone Tree since 2001, Millet has risen quickly through the board’s ranks. “I think with my background as an engineer, I was able to hit the ground running a little bit on some of the issues,” she said, while noting that term limits have contributed to turnover within the group.

Nanci & Steve Trevino EMBALMING As widespread as the practice of embalming currently is, modern embalming did not get its start until the American Civil War. It was then that President Abraham Lincoln directed the use of embalming so that the bodies of fallen soldiers could withstand their trip back home for proper funerals. Upon the conclusion of the war, embalming was less popular mainly due to lack of demand and because few people were familiar with the procedure. However, as custom coffins and detailed funeral planning became more widespread at the turn of the 20th century, embalming became popular once again. Embalming took the haste out of the burial process, allowing ample time for people to arrange and prepare funerals. “It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.” -Jonathan Swift PONDEROSA VALLEY FUNERAL SERVICES has served Parker and our surrounding communities with compassion.

Gardner talks cost of doing business Congressman stops in Parker to meet with chamber, mayor By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner — who is amid a campaign to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall — stopped by Parker to talk about small businesses and possible solutions to the tax difficulties they face. Gardner, R-Yuma, spoke during a congressional update hosted by the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce Aug. 12 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. The meeting became an open discussion with the few people who attended, including Parker Mayor Mike Waid and town Councilmember Josh Rivero. Much of the conversation focused on the high cost of doing business and its impact on economic progress in the 4th Congressional District and beyond. Business personal property tax, an annual assessment on equipment used for business purposes, is one area that needs improvement, Waid said. It is a frequent topic of discussion in local, state and national races, primarily because the tax is seen as an unnecessary hurdle for businesses that operate on a limited budget. The Town of Parker doesn’t charge business personal property tax, but Waid pointed out that Douglas County does. “Personally, I would like to see it go away,” Waid said. It’s one of the many unanticipated expenses small-busi-
ness owners incur, and Gardner suggested including it on a list of “things to watch out for” that could be distributed to those applying with the state for business licenses. He asked the Parker chamber to poll its members to help narrow down the top financial pitfalls that entrepreneurs might not expect. Waid said stripping away the “barriers” that encumber businesses should be a top priority at all levels of government. “If we don’t get our financial issues in order from the federal level on down, the social issues don’t matter,” the mayor said. He cited the example of a medical-device manufacturer that bought a building in Parker last year, but never opened because the accountant didn’t factor in business personal property tax, which drastically changed the company’s projected profit-margin. The manufacturer is selling the building and no longer plans to move to Parker, killing at least 16 new jobs, Waid said. Gardner said he has pushed for several initiatives that would foster a more business-friendly environment, including a small business savings account that functions much like an IRA and is an ideal “investment vehicle.” Business owners would enjoy tax-free gains and be able to invest the money into new employees or equipment. The Republican congressman said the average annual regulatory cost per employee in Colorado is around $13,000. Also discussed during Gardner’s visit: the congressman’s proposal to expand earned income-tax credits to address low wages; taking advantage of bipartisan support to repeal certain elements of Obamacare that hamstring businesses; avoiding a national minimum-wage hike; the benefits of af-
Climber to share near-death story Jim Davidson to speak Aug. 22 at The Wildlife Experience By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain climber and author Jim Davidson is bringing his harrowing near-death experience to a Douglas County audience. Davidson, who penned the non-fiction thriller, “The Ledge,” will deliver a motivational speech about resilience and survival at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 22 at The Wildlife Experience, 10035 S. Peoria St., Parker. Roughly 300 people are expected to attend and tickets are still available. The Colorado climber’s book won numerous awards and spawned a segment on the Discovery Channel’s “I Shouldn’t Be Alive.” His speaking engagements have drawn considerable praise, although mostly from crowds at corporate events. It is rare to see him at a public event, said Dan Zimmerer, education manager at The Wildlife
Experience. Davidson was climbing Mount Rainier with a friend in 1992 when they fell into an 80-foot crevasse. His partner didn’t survive, but Davidson managed to get to safety by climbing an ice wall. Zimmerer said the manner in which Davidson connects the lessons from his experience to everyday life is something to behold. “It’s about adventure and friendship and overcoming the odds,” he said. “The story kind of fits our mission.” Through photos, videos and vivid storytelling, Davidson will walk the audience through his ordeal and how it changed his life. He will take questions and sign copies of his book at the end. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged by Davidson calling 720-488-3344 or going to www.thewildlifeexperience.org. Children under 10 years of age are prohibited and an adult must accompany all children over 10. The cost of admission is $12 for museum members and $15 for non-members.

8-Opinion
OPINION Don’t end up four words shy
8 Parker Chronicle
Y O U R S
Don’t come up three words shy in family life is good tip to live by. In the civic arena of the early election season, we say don’t be four words short. Be able to stand up and say, “I registered to vote.” Even though matters of hydraulic fracturing have gone the way of a task force instead of ballot questions, plenty of other heady issues and candidate choices will be in play Nov. 4. The general election will be conducted with mail ballots expected to land in mailboxes by the second week of October. Those who voted in the primary are generally confident of their registrations and simply await their ballots. But those not in the thrust of Republican and Democrat party primary activities may want to take a few seconds to double check their registration status at respective county websites.
&
OUR VIEW Not to cause worry, but it really only takes a moment to check a voter registration through links on county websites — and to newly register is an easy process as well. Something good to know is that registered voters remain registered in perpetuity by state law. Registrations are removed only when a mail ballot comes back as undeliverable for two election cycles. So a long as voters keep address information up to date and accurate, the ballots keep coming. Those who register before the eighth
day before the election at www.govotecolorado.com will automatically receive a mail ballot. After the eighth day, those wanting to register must visit one of the Voter Service and Polling Centers in their respective counties. Applications received through voter registration drives must be received 22 days before the election. And ultimately, in Colorado citizens may register Election Day in-person at a county voter service and polling center. And who can vote? The basics: A voter must be 18, a United States citizen, have resided in Colorado for 22 days before the election and not serving certain types of criminal sentences. So come November don’t be even two words shy. Let’s all be wearing “I voted” stickers. To register, go to www.douglas.co.us/ elections/

Looking for the good and creating more joy The past five weeks have been extremely busy, including several flights and two crosscountry road trips. Albeit I snuck in a vacation at the beach, I was unable to heed my own advice and completely disconnect from work and completely revel in the sun and sand. However, I will say this, as crazy as the business trips and vacation have been, they have also been exceedingly productive and energizing. You see, part of the problem sometimes, even when we are on vacation, is that we quickly get frustrated with situations and others around us. We look for the bad instead of the good. You know what I mean, right? We are in line for an attraction or dinner and someone jumps the line and gets in ahead of us. And, yes, that can be completely exasperating, but only if we allow it. What if we just allowed ourselves to think positively and think, “Well, maybe they have some reason that is more urgent for them to go first than mine.” Or maybe, in the case of the restaurant, “They will not get the best server and we will.” My old boss, mentor, and great friend Zig Ziglar used to remind us that, “Some people go around looking for the bad like there was some kind of reward for it.” And if we look for the bad, it sure is easy to find. However, I am here to remind you, as Zig always reminded me, that it is just as easy and maybe even easier to look for and find the good in people, situations, and in life. I know, I know, how could that even be possible when so many things seem to stack up against us at times? Money problems, work-related issues, health crises, and broken or damaged relationships take up residence in our lives
when we least expect them, and we would certainly rather be looking at a brighter picture. And we can look for that brighter picture through the lens of hope. Even in the face of these very issues that hurt us, frustrate us, or limit us, we can look for that silver lining and absolutely look for the good. When we have money problems we are forced to rethink our current strategy and plan. I know many people who have dealt with bankruptcy only to find their passion and start their very own successful business. There are countless stories of people with work-related challenges, who always used to blame the company or others for their problems, who then found out that they could contribute at a higher level personally and took ownership of improving the current office environment. And most inspiring are those people facing a health issue rising up to either help others in the same situation or never allowing their debilitation to limit their performance. They search out what is good and what can be done and get after it. The emails I have received from our Norton continues on Page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Abuse of animals is appalling I could not believe what I was seeing and reading regarding the case against Christie O’Rourke and David St. Antoine (Pair gets probation for cruelty to animals — Aug. 1 Parker Chronicle) and the abuse inflicted on the animals in their care. It was appalling the neglect and injury resulting in death to these poor animals. The other travesty is our judicial system that gave these two individuals a slap on the hand and allows them to continue to keep some dogs, cats and birds in their care. They were already on probation for similar offenses and then to be given more latitude to due this all over again is sickening. Anyone with this past and present behavior does not deserve another chance to harm innocent animals. Anyone that keeps dead cats in their freezer not only requires mental health intervention, but there should be a law that people of this nature “can never own, keep or possess any form of a living animal in their care, ever.” No wonder there is so much child and animal abuse, when the judicial system allows criminals to get off with a plea bargain or a minimal amount of punishment, only to become repeat offenders, as these people are.

Talk puts fracking front and center Hickenlooper says panel seeking compromise will be his responsibility By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that he will be the one who selects the members of a task force that will be charged with finding a compromise on issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The governor also addressed concerns on the part of Republicans that the commission’s work could result in more regulations on the oil and gas industry. Hickenlooper talked about fracking during an Aug. 8 roundtable event with several business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial, as well as during an interview with Colorado Community Media afterward. The governor said his administration hasn’t quite figured out how the 18-member commission will be selected or how it will ultimately operate. But the governor put aside any question as to who will put the task force together. “People ask me, `Who’s gonna pick ‘em?’ I am,” Hickenlooper said. “The buck stops here and I guarantee you we’re going to have everybody pissed off again. The one criteria is that everyone who is going to be on that list is someone who believes we can get to a yes (on a compromise).” The task force was born out of a deal the governor reached with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis earlier in the week that will keep anti-fracking initiatives that Polis was backing from appearing on the November ballot. The measures would have required greater distances between wells and occupied structures and would have given communities more control over fracking — the process in which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas.
Remarks in spotlight
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry were fearful that the initiatives would essentially ban fracking in Colorado and cripple the state’s economy. Instead of the voters, it will be the task force that will take up those issues and that
will provide recommendations for potential legislation to the General Assembly. But Republican lawmakers are already feeling uneasy about the commission. And their concerns were heightened following comments Hickenlooper made during an energy summit in Denver earlier in the week. According to the Associated Press, Hickenlooper said the task force’s “success is dependent upon it ending in regulation.” That comment didn’t sit well with House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. “We should go into it from the premise that the commission take a look at whether we actually need regulations,” DelGrosso said in an interview prior to the governor’s Chamber of Commerce event. “He’s starting with the premise that it’s going to be set up to regulate.” Hickenlooper, in an interview with Colorado Community Media, insisted that’s not what he said, even though he made his comments in front of a group of reporters. “What I said was legislation,” the governor said. “Go back and look at the quotes. I never said we needed more regulation. Now, we might. Again, this is the whole point of getting people from all the different viewpoints in the same room and letting them have a discussion in such a way to try to figure out: `Is there a compromise here?’” Hickenlooper said he would like to see the task force’s effort result in some kind of legislation, even if it’s merely “taking existing regulation and codifying it.” “Unless we get it into legislation, I mean we would have made progress, even if we just discuss it we will have made progress,” he said during the interview. “But I think that the best success will be if we get to some level of legislation.” Hickenlooper said the commission will have a “narrow focus,” one that he hopes will result in work getting done in a timely manner. “We’re not going to be out there talking about air quality; we’re not going to be out there talking about water quality,” he said. “We’re really going to look into surface use issues, a very narrow set of issues to talk about.”
From 48 to 18
The governor said there were different
Gov. John Hickenlooper speaks during an Aug. 8 roundtable discussion with business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial. Photo by Vic Vela opinions among his staff regarding the makeup of the commission, including an initial suggestion that the task force have 48 members. The governor believes that an 18-member commission will have the appropriate balance of interests being considered. “The idea is there’s six spots for the oil and gas industry, but that would include pro-industry sides like home builders and agricultural interests,” he said during the roundtable forum. “There should be six from the local control and the environmental side of things ... And then six civic leaders who as far as we can tell are not on the record one way or the other, who are what the Quakers call a fair witness.” The governor acknowledges that there are logistics that still need to be figured out. “We still have a lot to work through,” he said. “You know, (such as) if you want a representative from agriculture, is it from the Cattlemen’s Association or the wheat growers?”
State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee who crafted several pieces of energy-related legislation, said he is hopeful that the task force will result in legislation that is needed to tackle this “really thorny problem.” “We need to make sure that everybody has a voice,” Tyler said in a phone interview. “Ballot initiatives are a huge sledgehammer and you never know what the consequences are going to be and you can’t make changes. And that’s not good policy.” But DelGrosso said he doesn’t know “if you’ll actually see legislation come out of the commission.” And, when asked how a battle over fracking would rank on the list of other controversial measures taken up by the General Assembly in recent years, DelGrosso said, “Extremely high.” “The reality is the economic impact that the oil and gas industry has in Colorado is tremendous,” DelGrosso said.
School tip line now under state control New laws include change for violence reporting system By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The reorganization of a school violence hotline was among a handful of new safety laws that took effect last week. The Safe2Tell Act moves an existing anonymous tip line from the nonprofit sector to a state-run program that is operated through the Department of Law. The program was set to shut down due to a lack of funding before the Legislature unanimously passed a bill earlier this year that transfers its control to the state. The hotline was set up after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings as a way for students to provide anonymous reports of potential campus threats. The state claims that since its implementation, the hotline has prevented some school attacks and suicides and has led to intervention in more than 2,000 bullying instances. “Students are often the first to hear threats against a school, or to see bullying or drug

community over these past five-plus years include incredible stories of people who felt brokenhearted until they realized that relationships that were intended to be mended were, and those relationships that needed to end actually ended, and they were never happier once they sought out the good in themselves and became less reliant on others for true happiness. Have you ever been on the highway while another driver was swerving in and out of traffic, almost causing an accident, and the whole experience left you absolutely troubled? What if for one minute we stopped
use, so they play a critical role in preventing these problems,” state Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “Safe2Tell empowers students to break the silence in an anonymous, proactive way so that kids can focus on learning while at school.” Also taking effect last week was a separate public safety effort that imposes new penalties on businesses that sell designer drugs. The law subjects vendors who sell synthetic marijuana, often called “spice,” to civil liability. Synthetic drugs have been known to be more dangerous than marijuana and have resulted in some deaths. “Despite their growing popularity, synthetic drugs are incredibly dangerous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.” Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state. and thought that maybe they have a medical emergency and are trying to get to the hospital? Now that occurs in about 2 percent of all rude driver behavior instances, but it could happen, and if we looked for the good instead of getting angered and upset, we could easily continue on our very merry way. Finding joy begins with each one of us looking for the good instead of the bad. How about you, can you use a little more “good finding” in your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and as we collectively look for the good it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock and the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation.

NEWS IN A HURRY Salisbury Park North open house Aug. 20
On the heels of a successful open house June 30 to look at three concepts for the new Salisbury Park North, the organizers behind the plan have scheduled one last meeting for public feedback on the final proposed concept. Based on the input of 150 adults and children who gave ideas and opinions in June, as well as the results of an online survey taken by 800 Parker residents, the three preliminary concepts will be whittled down to one preferred concept. The public is invited to stop by town hall, 20120 E. Mainstreet, between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 20 to look at the concept and provide feedback. Parker staff and landscape architects will explain the proposed plan, answer questions and hear opinions. For ongoing information about the Salisbury Park North master planning process, visit the project web page at www. parkeronline.org/salisburyparknorth.
Lincoln Avenue lanes to close
Concrete repair work on the Lincoln Avenue bridge over Interstate 25 begins Aug. 15 and continues through Sept. 15. The construction will require lane closures in both directions of Lincoln Avenue as well as on the northbound and southbound I-25 off-ramps off of Lincoln Avenue from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays. Neither of the ramps will be completely closed. The repairs include placing new concrete, which requires 10- to 12-hours to harden. During this time, lanes will remain closed, but construction crews will not be working. This process ensures high-quality pavement that can withstand the heavy traffic. Considerable traffic delays are expected while the lanes are closed, and motorists are advised to avoid the area. Alternate routes include the RidgeGate Parkway interchange one mile south of Lincoln Avenue.

which then hit a GMC Yukon occupied by a mother and infant, who were uninjured. All four cars were in the same lane. Due to the traffic on the street, the Chevy pickup, Escape and Yukon were either at a complete stop or near a complete stop, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office determined Carrothers was driving 48 mph in a 25-mph zone. The results of a blood draw 90 minutes after the crash showed she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.184 percent, the press release says. While being questioned, Carrothers said she left her 18-month-old child home alone. A Douglas County sheriff’s deputy immediately went to her home and found the baby standing up in her crib crying. The officer called the child’s father at his workplace, and he then came home to watch the child. “The word `outrageous’ may not be broad enough to cover the conduct of Kelly Carrothers here,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “The prison sentence she earned cannot replace what she has taken from these victims.”
teams were assessed on their ability to adapt to changing situations. A separate drill in a former dog grooming shop adjacent to the King Soopers at South Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive focused on putting out a commercial structure fire. A fog machine simulated smoky conditions and firefighters ran fire hoses into the shop. Supervisors step in during times when exact conditions cannot be replicated. “The things we can’t make them see, we tell them what they’re seeing,” Netzel said. “If a (safety) officer lifts a thermalimaging camera, they say `you see heat in the back corner.’” The safety officer is expected to respond accordingly. Putting first-responders into life-like training situations is the best way to make sure they’re prepared for the future, and South Metro takes advantage when it has a chance to put their skills to the test in an abandoned building, Netzel said.

Evergreen duo’s tiny home gets big attention

‘Three Stooges’ put on a show Larry, Moe and Curly appear as steers at Douglas County Fair By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Twin sisters brought the Three Stooges to the Douglas County Fair this year. Sydney and Taylor Buckley, 18, of Franktown, showed three steers, which they named Larry, Moe and Curly, at the Douglas County Jr. Livestock Sale on Aug. 8 in Castle Rock.
Curly, the grand champion steer, sold for $9,000. The girls said they were especially fond of Curly because he was born from one of their cows. They said it is rare to get to show an animal they raised from birth. In addition to the Three Stooges, the girls showed three sheep and one heifer at the auction. “This is what we love to do,” Sydney said. “We put all our time and effort into it.” The girls said they wake up at 5 a.m. every day, and work with their animals for about 10 hours each day. But they agreed their favorite part is showing the
animals. “Once it’s all done, it’s great to be able to show what you’ve got to offer,” Taylor said. The twins said they travel around Colorado, and to other states, participating in livestock sales. Another reason for doing so is to raise money for college tuition. Sydney will be attending school at Texas Tech University, and Taylor will be attending school at the University of Nebraska. Both girls are going to be studying animal science, but Taylor aspires to become an entrepreneur and Sydney would like to become a lawyer.
Evergreen couple Kristen Moeller and David Cottrell and their two dogs were already living in a 1,200-square-foot tight space when their home burned to the ground, a casualty of the Lower North Fork Fire. Everything was gone save the dogs and some wedding pictures Moeller snagged before evacuating. As they rebuilt their lives after such a tremendous loss, they opted to rebuild their dwelling — this time a 500-square-foot tiny home, less than half the size of their former house. Either by choice or by circumstance, there’s a growing number of homeowners joining the tiny house movement, as featured in the series “Tiny Home Nation”, on A&E’s sibling network FYI. TV hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin travel across America to document miniature houses and their full-size inhabitants. The episode about the Evergreen couple, “Rocky Mountain Mansion,” airs at 8 p.m. MDT on Aug. 13 on FYI. According to the “Tiny House Nation” website, www.fyi.tv/shows/tiny-housenation, “Renovation experts and hosts, Weisbarth and Giffin, travel across America to show off ingenious small spaces and the inventive people who live in them, as well as help new families design and construct their own mini-dream home in a space no larger than 500 square feet. From a micro-apartment in New York City to a caboose car turned home in Montana to a micro-sized mobile home for road tripping - this is a series that celebrates the exploding movement of tiny homes. From pricey to budget friendly, `Tiny House Nation’ is not a typical design show, but one that proves size doesn’t always matter - it’s creativity that counts.” Lowest prices for tiny homes hover around $20,000, depending on the construction and labor cost, while customized homes with upgrades can run upwards of $50,000.
Twelve’s number is up

Twelve, the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant that much-lauded chef-owner Jeff Osaka opened in November 2008, will serve its last supper on Aug. 23 in the 2233 Larimer location. Osaka said he plans to reopen in a new space that allows more seating than the tiny eatery now accommodates. “I opened Twelve on the same day that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, and I’m closing Twelve on my 50th birthday, so I guess you could say that I’m a man who marks milestones,” said Osaka, whose own mark on the Denver dining scene has resulted in a swell of accolades, including a 2014 James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef Southwest. Osaka, who opened Twelve when the Ballpark area was still in its infancy, rose to culinary prominence with his seasonally intensive, peak-produce menus that changed on the first day of each month, an endeavor that resulted in 70 menus and more than 1,000 different dishes. For reservations through Aug. 23, call 303-293-0287 or go to www.opentable. com. After Twelve closes, the space will become Butcher’s Bistro, a retail butcher shop and restaurant helmed by Scott Bauer, the regional manager of Snooze, and Tyson Holzheimer, the regional chef at Snooze. Butcher’s Bistro plans to open in October, serving lunch, happy hour and dinner from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Parker continues on Page 15

Yacht Club sets sail
Yacht Club, a community bar inspired by the casual drinking and social cultures from around the world, will open Aug. 20 in the center area at the Source, 3350 Brighton Blvd., in the space formerly occupied by the CapRock Farm Bar. Owned by Mary Wright, the Yacht Club aims to be a gathering place for locals, visitors and industry professionals. A full service bar, the Yacht Club will build on the idea of social drinking. ”We want the space to have something for everyone and also showcase how diverse the world of booze can be,” Wright said. “In the islands, you have Ti Punch, in Spain (there are) sherry or gin and tonics, as well as favorites here like juleps, cobblers, or a shot and a beer. At the Yacht Club we will showcase some of these ideas, as well as some of our own.”

That kinda makes you look old.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area.

One, two, three pitchers `you’re out’ Private pitching instructors a key to success of area aces By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Any team with starting senior pitchers like Ally Power, Savannah Heebner and Janelle Gardner would definitely be considered favorites to win the state championship. Any team with just one of those pitchers would have a good chance of being very successful. Pitching, obviously, is vital to the success of any high school girls softball team. “The bottom line is pitching in softball is the most important position in the game,” said Dave Atencio who will be coaching for his 21st season and second at Valor Christian. “It doesn’t matter if you have great hitters, if you have top level pitching, nine times out of 10 that is going to win you championships.” Ponderosa, Castle View and Legend will all celebrate top-level pitching this season. Power, the reigning Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year and the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year of a year ago, helped Ponderosa advance to the Class 4A state semifinals last fall. She won 17 games, had a 0.78 earned run average and struck out 277 batters in 152 innings pitched. Power also led the team with a .442 batting average. Heebner is the ace for Castle View, winning 11 games with a 1.55 ERA and tossing 204 strikeouts in 122 innings. She was also the Sabercats leading hitter at .478. Gardner pitched every game for Legend and helped the Titans reach the Class 5A state title game. She won 13 games with a 1.48 ERA and fanned 78 batters in 108.2 innings. “Power, Heebner and Janelle are three of the top pitchers in the state,” boasted Legend coach Shelly Boyd. There are other pitchers on teams from south metro schools that could help their teams have triumphant seasons, too. Atencio has three quality young hurlers in junior Alexandra Kinder, sophomore Abby Zuschlag and freshman Ali Kiltonan. Seniors Sam Hardy of Douglas County and Hannah Hatten of ThunderRidge are back and Arapahoe’s Allie Hanson returns after missing last season with a knee injury. Heritage junior Carly Carlsen won nine games a year ago. “There’s no way you can really argue that pitching isn’t the most important (aspect of the game),” argued Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. “Our team is a perfect example of that. On the other hand we had arguably the best pitcher in the state and we didn’t win the state championship. “You have to have a team that can play defense and put runs up or it doesn’t matter how good your pitching is but
Valor Christian is expected to have a strong pitching rotation this fall. The staff will be highlighted by, from left, freshman Ali Kiltonan, sophomore Abby Zuschiag and junior Alexandra Kinder.
Janelle Gardner of Legend, left, and Ponderosa’s Ally Power, right, are two of the returning aces in the south metro area, along with Castle View’s Savannah Heebner. Photos by Jim Benton obviously the team’s success is going to center around the strength of their pitching. If you have a team that hits and plays good defense without good pitching you stand a chance to be successful but if I had to go one way or the other, I’d take the pitching. There’s no doubt that pitching is going to be what makes or breaks you.” One ace pitcher can pitch almost every game in a high school season. The natural arm movement of pitching softball averts injuries. Plus, the high school schedule of three games a week as opposed to the summer club slates with sometimes four or five games during a weekend allows the high school pitcher
to be able to throw each game. “The big thing is you can run with one pitcher,” said Atencio. “Many state championship teams had just one pitcher. To me if you have what I always call the horse, you can ride that horse to the state championship.” The time between games during the regular season allows one pitcher to throw most of the innings. Regional and state tournament games might require a pitcher to enter the circle twice during a day. Boyd has a hard time to ever pull Gardner out of a game and Power and Heebner rarely worry about getting fatigued. “There’s really never been a point
where I’ve gotten tired,” said Gardner. “I just train for it. It depends on the situation. If it’s going good I don’t want to be pulled. It’s just how I am. But, if it’s a bad situation, yeah pull me.” Heebner also says pitching changes are usually dictated by the situation. “Sometimes you are tired but you won’t hurt your arm,” she said. “It usually depends on how we are doing. If we are winning and I’m tired, I will usually stay in. If we are losing and I’m tired and they are hitting off of me, then we’ll probably switch out the pitchers.” Power relies on endurance. “It’s all about endurance and I build it through practice,” she said. “I make sure I don’t get tired, especially if I do have to throw two games. When I do get tired I just keep pushing myself and drink water to keep hydrated. I don’t get out of control but I do loose a little momentum. I make sure I pick it up when I am looking tired.” Most quality high school pitchers, such as Heebner, have private pitching coaches and arrive at high schools with most of their pitches developed through long hours of pitching on club teams in the summer. Power and Gardner also developed and refined pitches with private tutors and during club competition during the summer. “We’ve taught Ally to be a smarter pitcher, knowing when to throw certain pitches, what location to throw certain pitches so our coaching comes to play with that but the actually development of her pitches was done before we got her,” admitted Tabola. “Her pitches were already there. We don’t develop the pitcher, we develop the strategy and how to be a good pitcher.” Power acknowledges she has a better knowledge of how to pitch. “I slowly learned each pitch as I grew up,” she said. “I would learn the fast ball and get it down before I was able to move on. In four years of high school, I have grown a lot on situations on what to throw and when to throw it. I have learned a lot.”

2014 OUTLOOK: Ten competitors listed on last season’s roster were underclass players, which makes the Titans a team to watch again this campaign. “Our goal is to win the league again, advance to the state tournament and win one more game than last year,” said Boyd.
Ponderosa
COACH: Toby Tabola
2013 HIGHLIGHTS: The Mustangs were 7-3 in the
Continental League, 19-5 overall and a semifinal team in the Class 4A State Tournament. Junior Ally Power
was the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year and the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year. She won 17 games, posted a 0.78 earned run average and hurled 277 strikeouts in 152 innings pitched.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Ally Power, P, Sr.; Sarah Carpenter, C, OF, Sr.; Sarah Coleman, IF, Sr.; Kendra Dunham, IF, Sr.; Peyton Majteka, OF, Soph.; Kendal Boyum, C, OF, Soph.; Alyse Morin, IF,P, Jr.; Hannah Smith, IF,OF, Jr. 2014 OUTLOOK: The Mustangs will rely on the
right arm of Power and newcomers will have to fill
a spot or two. The school’s numbers are down which gives young players a chance to earn playing time. We’re look for a good season,” said Tabola. “We have high hopes. We don’t have the depth that we would like but we will put eight solid players on the field to go with a great pitcher. We should be in good shape. I hope to get right back where we were last year and hopefully get to that final game.”
NOTE: All information in the team capsules was gleaned from responses to a survey that was sent to all south metro area schools.

Keeping the focus on the short game As long games get bigger, it’s the chips and putts that make the difference By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com There are numerous examples of talented high school golfers coming up short of expectations. And, many times that’s because of their lack of focus on their short game, which is vital to the scores scribbled on the scorecard. Boys are hitting longer, thanks in part to better equipment and golf balls, so the long game is strong. However, the short game can’t be ignored. Approach shots, chips and putts are also critical to have scores good enough to be posted on the leaderboard. “Most young players discount the value of the short game,” said ThunderRidge coach Jim McCord. “They love to
hit the range and pound the ball. However, the best golfers have a strong short game.” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker lectures to his players about the importance of the short game. “I hammer them on it,” explained Barker. “The bad thing is our season is so short. I only get to force them to work on their short games properly for two months. Even the best players on the planet miss about 25 percent of their greens. The best golfers on the planet hit 13 or 14 greens a round. So they are having to get up and down four or five times a round. “Our kids are missing seven or eight greens a round and getting up and down maybe a third of the time. If we get smarter and pick a high percentage shot around the green, maybe we can save a couple shots a round.” Barker’s team spends an hour putting during practice sessions, another hour chipping, pitching and hitting bunker shots before hitting some balls. “Boys just want to hit balls,” added
Barker. “They don’t understand their score is attached to putting and chipping and hitting bunker shots. You can hit a bad drive and still make a birdie. You can miss a green and still make a par. But if you mess up a chip or bunker shot or a putt, those scores go on your scorecard. There’s no recovering from a messed up short shot or putt.” Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner claims putting is part of the game that can’t be overemphasized. “Half your strokes in a round are made with your putter,” he said. “That’s how important your short game is. If you have 36 putts and 36 shots with other clubs and that’s par 72. More than half your shots are from 100 yards in. There’s an old adage in golf that you drive for show and putt for dough.” Jason Preeo, coach of defending Class 4A state champion Valor Christian, stresses the value of the short game. “The biggest thing that separates players are chips and putts when they miss the green,” said Preeo.

2014 OUTLOOK: Vaughn will be seeking to make his fourth consecutive state tournament appearance and will be the featured player on a young Lions team. “It will be difficult to repeat the success of 2013 but a young and talented group could surprise in a competitive Metro League,” said Zilm.

Cross country camps build bonds South metro teams hit mountain trails in final weeks before season By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Several south metro cross country teams headed for the hills this summer. It was a way to get some training on rugged mountain trails and establish team bonding for cross country teams in what is uniquely both an individual and team sport. Mountain Vista went camping at Rocky Mountain State Park. Highlands Ranch ventured to Copper Mountain for a fitness-friendly experience that included running, biking, swimming and fun. Castle View conducted a high altitude camp in Leadville at Colorado Mountain College. Chaparral went on a camping expedition to Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Heritage had 21 runners travel to Breckenridge for training, setting team and individual goals and watching the boys and girls trade cooking duties. Rock Canyon had a three-day high altitude camp at Winter Park that included vigorous trail runs in addition to building team camaraderie “We all have different conditioning programs to get ready for the season,” said Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby, whose boys team is the defending Class 5A state champions. “I know some of the teams go on camping trips and stuff for a week for kind of team bonding. “We stayed at a camp site in the park. It was a bonding thing for us. We ran in the morning up one of the mountains. It’s more about bonding.” There were 40 Vista athletes who made the trip, set up tents, made campfires, grilled hamburgers and bonded when they were not running vertical trails. “It was a great time for the team,” said junior Cross country continues on Page 23

Cross Country Continued from Page 20
Paxton Smith. “We ran in the morning and it was probably one of the hardest trails of our lives, my life at least. The park trail was rocky, had an intense climb and it was harder because we were at high altitude. “It’s was so much fun because you are out with your team. It’s great for team building. You get to know the underclassmen. You establish that sense of `we’re a team.’’’ Smith admits he got to know Golden Eagles cross country runners that he probably would not have acknowledged if he had not gone on the camping trip. “On the ride up a couple freshmen girls were in my car and I really got to learn a lot about them,” he said. “One had just moved
from Arizona and another went to an academy. There’s no way I probably would have known as much especially about these particular girls if I had never gone on the camping trip. I had two hours in a car with freshmen. During a practice you don’t really talk to them.” Dalby claims his team’s summer mountain adventures get his runners ready for the season. “One of the reasons we take the trip is to get all the kids to bond in a different atmosphere where they get away from home and they are spending 48 hours together,” he said. “By the time they leave the trip, they know each other a little better, especially with the new kids. “They get to know each other outside of every day when we’re going for a run. It’s not just about running, it’s about being a team. The stuff in the summer helps focus that everybody’s contribution on the team matters
not just the handful of varsity kids.” Castle View coach Mark Kuhn was also seeking team bonding as 28 runners attended a five-day high altitude camp in Leadville. The Sabercats stayed in the dorms at Colorado Mountain College, listened to motivational speakers, were instructed on cross country strategy, ran two-mile trails, climbed a 14er and finished with either a six-mile or 12½-mile run around Turquoise Lake depending on ability. “Even if we didn’t get any running in at all, it was for them connecting and getting together before the season starts,” said Kuhn. “I try to get some young kids up there and we have some classes for beginning strategy for cross country running. “There are lot of the runners coming out of middle school programs and high school that have no idea how to look at a course, run a course for a faster time without actually analyzing the course other than just going,
warming up and running. The older kids had a leadership type class.” The top runner on Castle View’s girls team, Savanna Dalton, said she had fun staying 10,000 feet above sea level. “I got to know one of my best friend’s younger sisters,” said Dalton. “She was really fun to hang out with. I got to know some of the freshmen. It was fun. It was harder to run because of the higher elevation but it was good that it was harder. It will help us.” Chaparral had previously went to Leadville but decided to venture this summer to Golden Gate State Park. “It was pretty awesome,” said Chaparral’s Dom Compoz, who was eighth in last year’s Class 5A State Meet. “We all got to hang out and got to know each other better. We won’t run on anything as difficult during the season. It’s a lot easier on the trails during the season versus during training.”
CROSS COUNTRY OUTLOOKS AT A GLANCE Chaparral
disciplined summer training and the mountain camp will make Chaparral’s girls team one to be watching for,” she said.
COACHES: Bob Ferguson (boys), Kerry Vargo (girls)
2013 HIGHLIGHTS: The Wolverine boys were sixth in the Class 5A state meet.
TOP RUNNERS: Boys: Dom Compoz, Devin Reasoner, Landon Lundell, Sr.; Alex Hebner, Austin Dennis, Tad Trimarco, Dalton Mohlman, Jack DeWinter, Keenan Ferguson, Cole Gerome. Girls: Ashley Diefenbach, Ciara DePinto, Molly Corlett, Erika Castro, Ellen Durkin, Lauren Hudson, Katherine Koehler. 2014 OUTLOOK: The boys lost only two runners from last year’s team and the young girls team is loaded with potential. Compoz, Reasoner and Lundell were also on the school’s state championship 4 x 800 relay team last spring. “The guys have been working very hard this summer and have a goal of placing in the top 5 at state,” said Ferguson. “I am very excited about coaching our best team ever at Chaparral.” Vargo is also energized. “Talented new runners to the team,

COACHES: Megan Peterson (girls), Roger Miller (boys)
2013 HIGHLIGHTS: The girls team, led by Catherine Liggett, fell short of qualifying for state. Liggett was the Titans lone rep at the Class 5A state meet and finished 25th. The boys lost two varsity runners but freshman and sophomores made great strides.
in 2011 when the Titans were 15th at the state meet. “There are some wildcards each season and the ultimate goal is for both of our teams to find a spot at the state meet, which would be a first in our short school history (seven years),” said Miller.
girls team with both increased numbers and experience.”
Ponderosa
COACH: Melissa Nansen
2013 HIGHLIGHTS: Ponderosa’s boys were 17th in the
Lutheran
Class 4A state meet but the girls failed to finish among the top 24 teams.
COACH: Nathan Hartz
2013 HIGHLIGHTS: Junior Calli Benson was a state qualifier after finishing 11th in the regionals. She was 31st in the state meet.
TOP RUNNERS: Boys: Phillip Reid, Sr.; Sean Wilcox, Jr.; Nick Rodriquez, Sr.; Luke Veltrie, Sr.; Liam McCoy, Jr. Girls: Carly Bennett, Soph.; Emma Bishop, Jr.
TOP RUNNERS: Girls: Catherine Liggett, Jr.; Claire Stecker; Sarah Bergford; Nichole Steiner. Boys: Scott Johnson, Soph.; Zach Wood; Josh Miller; Luke Rast; Brayden Quinn.
TOP RUNNERS: Boys: Nathan Norby, Sr.; Joe Dombro, Sr. Girls: Calli Benson, Sr.; Ji Hyun, Sr.
2014 OUTLOOK: Liggett has become one of the state’s
team with a young, but talented boys team. More girls are out for the team, too, which helps the depth. “We have been building the depth of the program in recent years,” said Hartz. “The boys team is looking to test themselves. We are looking to improve last year’s
top female runners. If the girls team is going to make it to state, all of the returning runners need to stay healthy. The boys have a solid group of juniors and seniors to put together an effort like
2014 OUTLOOK: The Lions will compete as a Class 3A
2014 OUTLOOK: Most of the Mustangs boys state team returns but the girls face a rebuilding season since many of last season’s runners graduated. “The boys are primed and have been training hard,” said Nansen. “They have set some high team goals and expectations of themselves for this season. Watch for the Ponderosa girls to be running that pack and use strong team skills to pull forward and be competitive.”
