It’s that time of year again when Parker’s Mainstreet will be transformed into a four-day festival with entertainment on three stages, a parade, carnival rides and fun for all ages, as attendance estimated at 250,000 visits Parker Days from June 7-10. Festivities begin June 7, a Thursday, at 5 p.m., with carnival rides and activities going through 10 p.m. Country music star Trace Adkins is the headliner, supporting the Wounded Warrior project. Tickets must be purchased in advance, and doors for general admission open at 6 p.m. Booths, street performers known as “buskers,” a farmers market and BMX sports bike stunt shows will be included in festivities. The Parker Car Club’s Annual Parker Days Car Show will be on display, and a pancake
breakfast to benefit the Parker Task Force Food Bank will deliver delicious fare. Carnival rides will be available all weekend, but flip-flops, bare feet and guests with casts will not be allowed. This year’s parade theme is Hometown Heroes, and will include high school marching bands, floats and horses.

Legend grads move forward with courage BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
L
egend High School graduates were encouraged to take the next steps in their lives with courage and to continue developing their identities as they enter the next phase of their lives. “Failure is inevitable, courage is necessary.” That was the message delivered by students Kira Acosta, Brooke Holman and Claire Smith, as they addressed the 2018 graduating class, during the commencement ceremony at EchoPark Stadium May 24. Valedictorians Nicole Cheisvilli and Darwyn Tran included some humor in their

speeches before reminding students to continue building their identity throughout their lives. “We are designated survivors of high school. Now we must find our identities. Our speeches have a conclusion, but our identities never will.” Principal Jason Jacob thanked staff, students, parents and family members for making graduation day possible before presenting the graduating class. “Take time to reflect with family this weekend about your life from the day you were born,” said Jacob. “You are the largest family to graduate from Legend, and as you go forward, continue to grow as individuals.”
Graduates at the Legend High graduation ceremony listened earnestly as speakers reminisced about their four years of high school.
Legend principal Jason Jacob returns a megaphone he had confiscated from two students at the beginning of the school year, after they abused the megaphone policy. He allowed the students to lead the crowd in one last Legend chant. Each Legend graduate had their own way of celebrating as they took their diploma in hand. Graduates stood and thanked their parents and family for supporting them through their high school years.

Ponderosa grads mark ‘a great four years’ BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
S
tories of inspiration, dedication, camaraderie and puppies were the subjects of commencement ceremony speeches at the Ponderosa High School graduation May 23 at EchoPark Stadium. Ross Panning, salutatorian of the class, reminded students to enjoy each moment and not be in such a hurry that they miss the little things. “Our lives are finite, everything around us is,” said Panning. “It’s not just about the GPA or the SAT, it’s about us having happy, meaningful lives. It’s been a great four years of trials and tribulations, and now we move on. Thank you.” Teacher Mike Lynch concluded the ceremony by moving the crowd to tears with a story and a photo of his beloved Labrador retriever, who passed away, and his new puppy. Lynch told of how the backyard had become a comfort zone for the elder dog, but was a place of endless curiosity and opportunity for the new puppy. He encouraged students to challenge themselves in their new lives. “A comfort zone is a wonderful thing,” said Lynch. “But nothing ever grows there.”
Ponderosa graduates were all smiles as they received their diplomas.

‘Sully’ talks about lessons he ‘dares not forget’ Famed ‘miracle on the Hudson’ pilot brings life lessons to celebration of airport’s 50-year history
ABOUT THE AIRPORT Centennial Airport is a general-aviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercial-airline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix.
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It took a lifetime of education and experience to prepare the pilot on US Airways Flight 1549 to make an emergency landing safely in New York’s Hudson River, as he told it — and he brought those life lessons to a celebration of Centennial Airport’s 50th anniversary at the Denver Tech Center. “These important civic virtues have just gotten lost in the noise,” said Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, a renowned pilot who rose to prominence as an aviation and safety expert after his famed landing in 2009 that saved 155 lives. He learned his values, partly, at the United States Air Force Academy, which he attended in the early 1970s. “We in aviation have learned lessons (that were) paid for in blood, and we dare not forget,” Sullenberger said. His address headlined the luncheon May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, 4900 S. Syracuse St., Denver. Sullenberger, who flew into the thenArapahoe County Airport a few times during his four years at the Air Force
It opened May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport and is owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority, a governmental body. It is not located in the city of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.
The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.
Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger speaks at Centennial Airport’s 50th anniversary luncheon May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center hotel at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver. Sullenberger talked about the life lessons that prepared him for the famed “miracle on the Hudson” water landing of US Airways Flight 1549.

said loudly,” said Sullenberger, who stressed the importance of learning from experience. On Jan. 15, 2009, Sullenberger lost thrust in both engines on Flight 1549 and led his crew to safely execute an emergency water landing on the Hudson River. The crisis came to be known as the “miracle on the Hudson” and inspired the 2016 motion picture “Sully,” in which Tom Hanks portrayed Sullenberger. In the wake of the historic landing, Sullenberger garnered several accolades — becoming an “aviation and safety expert” for CBS News and one of the 2009 TIME 100 most influential people in the world — but he emphasized the efforts of his crew in the event. “Like much in life, aviation is a team sport, but I’m the one who got all the credit,” Sullenberger said. His co-pilot and flight attendants acted instinctually to control the emergency too, he said. In the “challenge of a lifetime,” which lasted only a handful of minutes, Sullenberger couldn’t rely on training alone — he hadn’t trained for a flock of geese colliding with the plane’s engines at such low altitude. “I synthesized a lifetime of education and experience and imposed that paradigm,” Sullenberger said, bringing “order to what could have been chaos.” He had to rely on instinct to judge that landing on water was the right choice and how to adjust the nose of the plane — a critical, precise task — to avoid hitting the water too dangerously. Sullenberger and his co-pilot knew they did everything they could to try to avert disaster — and it worked. In the aftermath, Sullenberger heard from colleagues, who weren’t surprised by the successful landing. “Because of the way they saw me
It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest generalaviation airports in the country. living my life before,” Sullenberger said, they had confidence in him to execute such a feat. His reputation was built day by day, and “in every encounter with a person, there is opportunity,” he added. Personal accountability, Sullenberger said, is “part and parcel” of the aviation field. Former pilots, Arapahoe County and City of Centennial officials, and hundreds of others attended the event. Centennial Airport’s director also thanked personnel from Denver International Airport, or “the other airport,” he said, to laughs from the audience. The director, Robert Olislagers, announced Centennial Airport will add a new administrative building called The Hangar, which will also function as an aviation-community center with features like open houses with flight schools. The facility is expected to be completed in late 2019, he said. Olislagers pointed out the Centennial Airport Foundation’s support to local STEM education and programs, particularly with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace. All proceeds from ticket sales to the May 25 luncheon will go toward funding future scholarships. Centennial’s mayor and members of its city council attended too. Before the event began, Councilmember Ron Weidmann called the airport “a jewel that needs to be protected.” Said Mayor Stephanie Piko: “We all recognize the importance of Centennial Airport to our economy and the region.” On the more personal side, Sullenberger zeroed in on the character he built during a life of aviation. One of his role models, he said, “didn’t need a poster on the wall or a T-shirt emblazoned with a slogan” to show who he was. Sullenberger said a time comes when people ask themselves if they lived up to their values. “Did you speak up when it mattered?” Sullenberger said. “I hope your answer will be yes.”

Four students get scholarships for overcoming hardships The Debbie Jackson and Darrell Pridemore scholarship fund supports seniors BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sixteen years ago, Bunny and Wayne Jackson laid their daughter Debbie, 24, to rest, after a courageous battle with cancer. The couple created the Debbie Jackson Memorial Scholarship Foundation, and since their daughtter’s death, have bestowed scholarship money to four students in the Douglas County School District each year. Some of the biggest supporters of their efforts were the Pridemore brothers — Darrell, Vince, Al and Dwight. In 2016, the Pridemore brothers laid their brother Darrell to rest, after he too succumbed to the devastating disease. The brothers own and operate Pride Auto Care Shops in the south metro area, and Darrell, a Parker resident, was well known in the community. The tragic passings created an opportunity that will allow both of their legacies to live on. The two families joined forces to create the Debbie Jackson and Darrell Pridemore Schol-

PHOTO COURTESY OF AL PRIDEMORE arship Foundation, which recognizes students with annual scholarships. Debbie’s sister, Joanna Gezon, has known the Pridemore family for years, and said joining forces is a great way to keep both memories alive. “Debbie was just a really good-hearted person, and a strong fighter,” said
Gezon, president of the foundation. “The Pridemore brothers have always been a supporter of our foundation prior to Darrell passing. Because of the challenges my sister and Darrell faced throughout their lives, we choose students who have overcome challenges themselves.”
Gezon said they receive dozens of essays applying for the scholarship each year, and it’s difficult to narrow them down to four. “We’ve had students who have come back from personal injuries, some whose best friends have committed suicide, dealt with alcoholism or drug addiction in their family,” said Gezon. “I cry every time we have to review the essays.” Mountain Vista senior Jillian Laplante, and Douglas County High School seniors Barbara Edwards and Kelsie Muscat were this year’s recipients. After Darrell’s death, board members unanimously agreed that his daughter Mallory Pridemore, was deserving of the scholarship in 2016, and extended it for four years. Al Pridemore said teaming up with the Jacksons has been an incredible experience, and recognizes the irony of the two families coming together. “Scott Jackson was a good customer of ours, and he and I and Darrell became good buddies,” said Pridemore. “We sponsored their golf tournament when his sister passed away, so it was a natural fit when he approached us about combining resources.” The foundation raises money for scholarships through the annual charity golf tournament, held at the Plum Creek Golf Club in Castle Rock. This year’s tournament is Friday, July 27. To register for the tournament, visit www.debbiejackson.org/.

The department also maintains 87 traffic signals, and manages 46 school-zone flashing safety signs. “People don’t always think about what the public works department does,” said Hudson. “But we really try hard to keep the town running as smoothly as possible.” One of the more than 333 detention ponds in Parker is cleared of debris during regular maintenance.
BUSINESS
Throughout an average year, the Parker Public Works Department will go through 60,000 gallons of liquid de-icer. The department also clears debris from more than 333 detention ponds, and maintains more than 120 miles of storm pipe. Chris Hudson, public works manager for the Town of Parker, said his department may not be the most exciting, but it has a vital role in keeping the town running. “There’s a reason there’s a popular show called ‘Parks and Recreation,’ and not a show called ‘Public Works,’” joked Hudson. “But in all seriousness, our team takes care of many of the things around town that make life easier for residents. We are the people behind the scenes.” The public works department includes 18 people, and manages an annual budget of approximately $8.5 million. The department relies heavily on contractors to do major work, such as street overlays, major roadwork and major sidewalk repairs. “We can repair a small patch of sidewalk, or stripe a small parking lot, and we patch the potholes,” said Hudson. “But the town council’s goal is to keep

The alleged shooter sped away after firing at the driver of a silver pickup at 5:24 p.m., according to the Parker Police Department. The victim suf-
fered an non-life threatening gunshot wound and was taken to a local hospital. The shooter remains unknown but witnesses believe he drove a dark gray or black extended cab pickup truck and was exiting eastbound on E-470. Investigators are searching for more witnesses of the shooting and will be talking to local businesses to identify the shooter or his vehicle.

CAPACITY FROM PAGE 6
LRPC has become interested and concerned that we have capacity misallocation throughout the district.”
Finances in focus Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight predicts that as Douglas County continues to grow, the school district will need additional schools in the next decade. But, he said, the district’s current problem isn’t capacity, which varies depending on the geographical location of the county and is impacted by trends such as housing prices and demographics. “I would not say we have a capacity issue. I would say we have a school finance issue,” said Knight. “Our biggest issue is obviously resources and making sure we get dollars for our students.” The LRPC subcommittee recommends the school board hire an outside expert to study the district’s capacity policies. Board members did not vote on the recommendation at the April 17 meeting and asked for a request for proposal to be sent out. In its presentation, the subcommittee touched on possible solutions to capacity issues, including redrawing the boundaries of the district’s planning areas to address open enrollment issues and transportation needs, or reallocating certain programs to help undercapacity. During public comment, some coun-
“In the Douglas County system of public schools, there must be equity and we must be able to offer all of our students access to the excellence in choices that some of our students have.” Cindy Barnard Douglas County resident
ty residents pleaded for the school board to carefully consider approving a new school. Cindy Barnard emphasized the cost of an empty seat. She has seen a decline in programming since her children were in school. Her daughter, who graduated in 2010, was able to take an advanced placement class with just eight students, she said. “In the Douglas County system of public schools, there must be equity and we must be able to offer all of our students access to the excellence in choices that some of our students have,” Barnard said during public comment. “Thoughtful boundary realignment and very careful consideration in opening schools only when and where they are needed will be a big step in bringing equity and excellence back to Douglas County School District.”
At the April 17 meeting, Ray reminded the audience that the question was not whether a charter school should be approved. “The question before us is, is this the right site, is this the right place for a school?” said Ray. “Regardless of if its charter or neighborhood, that is our question tonight.” Board members raised concerns about Ascent’s enrollment. Intents to enroll came from 181 students who are attending a charter or neighborhood school in the district and 286 students who are attending a charter or neighborhood school outside of the district. A large portion of those are homeschooled, according to representatives from Ascent. Buildng a school at the Meridian site wouldn’t jeopardize enrollment in other schools in the area, said Ascent’s director, Derec Schuler.
“We have a very wide draw, we are a niche program. Putting us next to a neighborhood school doesn’t necessarily mean we are going to be taking kids from that area,” he said in a presentation at the April 17 meeting. “We are going to be coming in with our own kids who have already choiced in, whose families know what our unique model is and that’s what they want.” Students come from other places School board member Anne-Marie Lemieux, who serves on the district’s FIscal Oversight Committee, said 1,900 students in Douglas County are from out of district. And 1,600 of those students attend charter schools, which receive 100 percent of the local mill levy override. “That means our local taxpayers are paying for kids who don’t live in Douglas County,” Lemeiux said. She pointed out the other charter and magnet schools in close proximity to the proposed new site for the charter school. SkyView Academy, which also has a classical curriculum, is about seven miles away, west of I-25 in Highlands Ranch. “In being a choice district, one of the things that comes up is not oversaturating. I’ve seen it happen in Highlands Ranch, where we oversatured and now charters are competing with each other to a detrimental state,” Lemeiux said. “How do we support choice without hurting choice? That’s my fear, if we put this school here, we are going to hurt our choice. We are not helping anybody.”

Club awards $9,000 in scholarships Rotary assists eight high-school graduates BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Rotary Club of Parker awarded eight scholarships worth a total of $9,000 to recent high school graduates May 24 at Parker Adventist Hospital. Seven $1,000 scholarships and one $3,000 scholarship were given to winners of an essay contest put on by the
club. Students were given the option to submit a written essay or a video for consideration. The prompt for the $3,000 scholarship award asked students how they would handle a certain situation using the club’s Four-Way Test — four questions to serve as an ethical guideline based on truth, fairness, promotion of goodwill and overall benefit. This year the club allowed students who were not considering attending a traditional college after high school the opportunity to win a scholarship. The change opened the door for
students who were planning to attend a trade or vocational school. “With the Four-Way Test scholarship, there’s no talk of a GPA or even what you did for extracurriculars,” said Peggy Carter, facilitator of the Four-Way Test scholarship award. “If you have a kid who is an awesome kid — wants to be mechanic or something — this is a scholarship that’s going to available to him.” Jack Dewolf, a graduated senior from Chaparral High School, won this year’s Four-Way Test scholarship with his video suggesting how to eradicate
homelessness in the community. “I was ecstatic,” Dewolf said, “especially since this was a scholarship that was pretty meaningful to me.” Dewolf ’s grandparents are part of their community’s Rotary Club and has a special place in Dewolf ’s heart. Dewolf was honored as the Rotary Club of Parker’s Chapparral student of the month in February and owns and operates his own snowboard apparel company, which he started when he was 10. He plans to study social entrepreneurship at Colorado State University in the fall.

MY NAME IS
JOHNNIE MEDINA
Why I love Colorado I love the weather. Definitely the weather. Kansas City weather sucks. It’s humid in the summer and cold in the winter. I also like that the people in Colorado, and especially Parker, are friendly. They’ve been very supportive of Life Through The Lens. I don’t do much hiking or outdoor activities. I have arthritis and it’s hard for me to do physical stuff. But photography is really my outlet.
Photographer helps families preserve memories of loved ones About me I came to Colorado 12 years, and am originally from Kansas City. I ended up in Parker after my wife got transferred for work. It seemed like a good deal so we moved. I live here with my wife and two daughters, as well as our two German shepherds. I’m a photographer, and last year I founded and run the non-profit organization Life Through the Lens. I photograph people who are terminally ill at no cost, then

her and listing her contributions to modern and contemporary art. Sherman is credited with the “selfie.” Not by anyone else yet. Just by me. If you really wanted to get tight about it, Albrecht Dürer was just as responsible, and so was Rembrandt van Rijn. They both documented themselves in countless self-portraits long before there were Nikons and Hasselblads. And camera phones. Architect Frank Gehry said artists need to find a niche. He found his, and Sherman found hers when she was an undergraduate at Buffalo State. I have tried and tried to find one, but time is running out, and I’ve conceded (mostly). But I am forever in awe of those — especially my contemporaries — who found theirs.
ere’s a pop quiz: Who is Cindy Sherman? Her picture should be on a postage stamp. The picture would be one she had taken herself. See that photograph running with this column? It’s one of only nine known photographs of me. I like it like that. Why do I need photographs of myself ? They have one in obits, Jennifer has one that was taken before my face turned into a pickle, and the DMV took one that permits me to drive and to board an airplane. Sufficient, but out of touch with everyone else. Cindy Sherman (born 1954) studied photography at Buffalo State College. Does that help? I could spend the rest of the column praising
Without cheating. You can cheat in art. You can appeal to our most fundamental fascinations, without really contributing anything that is truly nutritive: i.e., those interminable “Star Wars” films. Sherman started taking photographs of herself when she was an undergraduate, and she hasn’t stopped yet. I admit I once had a crush on Sherman. She has California-girl looks, but you have to work to find it, because she never looks exactly the same twice. She documents herself with appearance-altering costumes, makeup and prosthetics. For better or worse, the world is full of Cindy Shermans. At its worst, there have been SEE SMITH, P15

M LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for Diane Holbert Why I will proudly cast my vote for Diane Holbert to be our county commissioner: Having spent nearly 30 years personally involved in Douglas County politics, I’ve observed first-hand the integrity and dedication to service, displayed by our politicians. My biggest take-away from those 30 years is that I have found that there is huge difference in those simply “holding a title” and those who actually “serve the people.” Too often, even well intentioned people are running to simply hold a title.

Princeton City School District, Ohio’s most diverse, boasts the highest four-year and five-year graduation rates of African Americans, one of the highest in the country. Its overall graduation rate for the Class of 2017 exceeded 94 percent. In Ohio, performance grades for district and charter schools are assigned for the previous year. In 2016-17, with 80 percent of the students needing to be deemed “proficient” under the new grading system of 26 state tests, less than 4 percent of the state’s 608 traditional public school districts achieved As. Despite this implicit bias against public education, school districts under Dr. Tucker’s leadership have continued to thrive, advancing student proficiency across the board, a fact not overlooked by the seven-member DCSD board of education when reviewing the field of more than 1,100 applicant inquiries nationwide.

Colorado business groups will urge tax hike for roads
Proposal 1: Sales tax hike What it would do: The hike backed by business groups would raise the state sales tax by just over 6 cents on every $10, from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent. It would generate more than $766 million a year starting in 2019, and authorize the state to issue $6 billion in transportation bonds. The funding would be split, with 45 percent going to state highway projects, 40 percent to local governments and 15 percent to alternate forms of transportation, such as mass transit. What it would cost: $9.4 billion over 20 years, including interest. Who supports it: A bipartisan coalition, including the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Colorado Contractors Association and Club 20,
Proposal 2: ‘Fix Our Damn Roads’ What it would do: The colorfully named “Fix Our Damn Roads” initiative would issue $3.5 billion in transportation bonds without raising taxes. Instead, the state would have to pay off bonds with existing state revenues. All of the money would be earmarked for state highway and bridge projects. Using the money for mass transit is prohibited. What it would cost: $5.2 billion over 20 years, including interest. Who supports it: The Independence Institute, a conservative think tank. It’s also backed by many Republicans at the Legislature, who say the state should spend more on roads within its existing budget. When it would appear on the ballot: November 2018 Proposal 3: Senate Bill 1 What it would do: The bonding measure referred to voters by the Legislature this year would borrow $2.34 billion for transportation projects. Like the “Fix Our Damn Roads” initiative, it would require the state to pay off the bonds under current tax rates. The bulk of the money would go to state highway projects, with 15 percent set aside for other transportation options, such as mass transit. What it would cost: $3.25 billion over 20 years, including interest. Who supports it: The measure won unanimous, bipartisan support from the state Senate and most of the House. But top lawmakers in both parties say they would prefer one of the other measures to pass in 2018 instead of the legislative compromise. When it would appear on the ballot: November 2019, if the other two proposals are rejected.

A coalition of business groups recently announced plans to ask Colorado voters this fall to raise sales taxes to pay for $6 billion in transportation projects. Their announcement officially puts into motion a campaign that’s been discussed by transportation advocates for more than a year since the state Legislature in 2017 rejected an attempt to send voters a plan to raise sales taxes by a similar amount. With at least one competing transportation plan expected to appear on the November ballot — and another planned for next year — supporters of the measure face a steep climb to win over Colorado’s tax-averse voters. Organizers need more than 98,000 signatures from registered voters to place their initiative on the ballot. If it and a competing proposal qualify, voters could have three options this year and next to begin addressing Colorado’s $9 billion transportation backlog.

Culture is illuminated after dark Zoo, museums offer evening events for adults BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
V
isit Denver’s cultural hot spots like the Denver Zoo or Museum of Nature & Science during a summer day and you’ll see children of all ages running around everywhere. While it’s always fun to experience Denver’s many cultural amenities as a family, just as many adults want to explore on their own. Maybe, even, while having a drink or two. “Adults want the opportunity to learn, too,” said Jessa Phillips, the Museum of Nature & Science’s adult programs manager. “Because of that, the museum offers experiences that offer an adult night out.” When facilities like the zoo, museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and more shut down after regular hours, that doesn’t mean they’re closed. Instead, they offer specialty programming that provides more depth, entertainment and a different kind of community. “This is a different angle of the zoo than most people see when we’re open and full of crowds,” said Jake Kubié, communications manager with the Denver Zoological Foundation. “We want to make the zoo more accessible for adults and show that we are a place people can learn, explore and even have a date night.” SEE EVENTS, P20

This production is particularly timely for several reasons — the first because of the importance of these issues in the current political climate, and because LaVita passed away in October As choreographer, Elliott uses movement that focuses on the individual identity of each performer/character. Using the structure of a Social Security number as a framework, Elliott offers prompts to create these identities by using positive and negative personality traits and individual story expressed through gesture. “Audiences will be taken on a journey. Because we are a modern/contemporary company we express ideas through a narrative theme rather than a story,” Elliott said. “So, our audience will experience humorous, dramatic, and poignant pieces that they can connect to through personal attachment.” Get tickets by calling 720-898-7200 or visiting www.arvadacenter.org.

Native American artist has major Denver exhibit Jeffrey Gibson, born in Colorado, lives and works in New York BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Like a Hammer” at the Denver Art Museum is the first exhibition in a major museum for artist Jeffrey Gibson (Mississipi Band Choctaw/ Cherokee). The exhibition just opened on the first floor of the Hamilton Building and runs through Aug. 12, with a mix of traditional design and contemporary presence. Gibson was born in Colorado Springs in 1972, lives and works in New York, teaches at Bard College and incorporates his heritage into distinctive, contemporary works, including abstract sculptures, paintings and prints. Materials include rawhide, beads, sterling silver, wool blankets, metal cones, beads, fringe and sinew, as well as paint. Introductory comments at a press preview told of Gibson’s extreme unhappiness with his art in the middle of the first decade of this century, which led him to razor paintings from their frame, head for a coin laundry and wash them in hot water and detergent. Fragments of those paintings appear in textile works in “Like a Hammer,” looking pale and stressed, compared to the vibrant newer coloration exhibited today. Washing away failure … Music has been very important for Gibson. Lines from popular songs are incorporated into his works and background music plays from a song list he provided. “It adds an extra sensory dimension,” curator John Lukavic commented. “Gibson seamlessly blends indigenous aesthetics and contemporary methods … His work offers or visitors an experience that doesn’t exist elsewhere and challenges the generic categories of art, presenting a new way of conceptualizing what people see and experience.” “I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” commands a long look: a female figure in dance attire, with a ceramic head and legs made from tipi poles. Haunt-
ing, it and other similar figures “speak of effigy pots from Gibson’s ChoctawCherokee background,” Lukavic commented. “He draws from the past, creates futuristic work …” Gibson on several occasions revealed his displeasure with the art world’s tendency to consider Native American art as craft or decorative arts. “Gibson did not feel he had a way to express himself visually in ways that people could connect with,” said Lukavic. “Gibson blends indigenous aesthetics and contemporary methods … His work offers our visitors an experience that doesn’t exist elsewhere and challenges the generic categories of art, presenting a new way of conceptualizing what people see and experience.” Gibson pointed out greenish patches of those earlier paintings in several new pieces, adding that this was the first time he’d seen his work together. Gibson was an artist-in-residence at DAM in 2014 and was allowed access to the archives to research, assisting with a “challenge for artists who are not central.” It offered new connections for Gibson. (A video made during his residency is shown in the last gallery in this exhibit. Allow time to watch it.) “I realized that art history is not inclusive of native artists,” he said as he talked about his punching-bag series — some covered with Osagetype beadwork and named “Everlast.” The series resulted from a recommendation that he work out frustration by boxing. The image suggests white power, violence — and peacefulness. Another work, “I Am Woman,” refers to huge numbers of missing native, indigenous women. “My use of color is free, exuberant … a choice of rawhide versus beaded offers a lens of indigenous perspective that changes how we read them … These are not specific to any particular tribe,” Gibson said. The figures are “an artifact of the future,” Lukavic added, like Kachina figures or those guarding the tombs in the past. Gibson also pointed out a large, predominantly black and white, rectangular piece that reads: “American History is longer — larger — more beautiful …” quoting the black, openly
IF YOU GO Jeffrey Gibson’s “Like a Hammer” exhibition will be at the Denver Art Museum through Aug. 12. It is being shown on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, between 12th and 13th avenues on the east side of Bannock Street in downtown Denver. The exhibit is included with regular admission.

gay American writer James Baldwin, who chose to live in Europe — and has been an influence. “There is a widespread message that voices are not always heard.” With the appearance of a large work in the DAM collection — a travois used to carry goods — Lukavic said, “it’s closer to (Claus) Oldenburg than traditional indigenous art.” In the fourth portion of the exhibit, the video shows people responding to items in the museum’s collection rooms … a Navajo man talked to a wooden Navajo weaving comb, as though to his grandmother: “I miss you grandma … are the sheep still there? I cherish the memory of you.” In the Kiowa language, objects were asked their permission to use them in the exhibit … Patterns in dancer’s costumes are referenced in Gibson’s works. For example, a woman in a jingle dress steps off an elevator and dances down the hall … “I think my work offers a countervision to other things happening in the world,” Gibson said.
“I Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Jeffrey Gibson combines his interest I American pop music and Native American art. It has tipi poles as legs, trimmed blankets and a ceramic head.

AFTER-HOURS CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

When it comes to after-hours activities, these facilities’ events mainly fall into two categories — series and one-offs. The Museum of Nature & Science has a monthly Science Lounge series specifically for those who are 21 years old and older, featuring rotating topics and special drinks on the third Thursday of every month. Likewise, the zoo hosts the Watering Hole, an adult lecture series that features a unique theme, light appetizers and a cash bar. The Museum of Contemporary Art has several after-hour programs during the summer, including the Three Things, Any Three Things series, which is an experiment in performance, lecture and music. There is also B-Side Music Fridays, a rooftop summer music series focused on presenting the best emerging Denver bands. Finally, the museum works with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to host Mixed Taste, which pairs two speakers, giving presentations on completely unrelated subjects, followed by questions from the audience on both topics at the same time. “These after-hours events allow the museum to better integrate into people’s everyday life,” said Clayton Kenney, director of experience and strategy with the MCA. “They also help make MCA Denver a social gathering place, and not just a white box with objects on the walls.” Then there are the special events

Elizabeth Community Rodeo tests riders’ skills Annual competition is held in advance of town’s signature Stampede BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Occasional drizzle and chilly temperatures didn’t lessen the efforts of the competitors or the applause from the audience at the Elizabeth Community Rodeo events held on May 19 at Casey Jones Arena. The community rodeo is one of the traditional events leading up to the annual Elizabeth Stampede, a threeday rodeo event running June 1-3 at the Casey Jones Arena. The community rodeo included events for competitors of all ages and drew competitors young and old from the local area and from miles away. The youngest entries of the day were the 4- to 7-year-olds who can’t weigh more than 70 pound competing in mutton bustin’. As the name of the event indicates, the rider in the event is trying to stay on the back of a good-size sheep that doesn’t want a rider. The rider has nothing to hold on to but the sheep, so most squeeze hard with their knees, try to wrap their arms around the sheep’s neck or just hold on tightly to whatever they can grasp. Elbert County resident El Wendell’s parents, Kim and Tim, said competing in mutton bustin’ was their daughter’s idea “She asked to enter the competition,” Kim said. “We agreed to say yes since she really wanted do it. I’m not scared by what she is doing. I am excited to watch her so I can tell her I am proud of her when she finishes her ride.” El, a 4-year-old, donned the protective helmet with a face mask and the protective vest as she prepared for her ride. “I am looking forward to this,” she said as she waited her turn. “I am excited and I want to hold on tight and stay on as long as I can.” She rode well but wasn’t able to stay on the sheep until the buzzer sounded eight seconds after the ride started. Some contestants, like 10-year-old
Walker Schubert competes in the bareback bronc riding event at the May 19 Elizabeth Community Rodeo at Casey Jones Arena. He stayed atop the horse for the full eight seconds and was awarded a score of 65. PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS Carson Fritz, began competing in steer riding when they were too old to continue in mutton bustin’. “I started out with mutton bustin’ and liked it,” the Parker resident said. “When I turned 8 I decided I wanted to continue to ride so I moved up to steers.” He said steers are bigger, buck hard and are harder to ride. “Riding steers is fun,” the Frontier Valley Elementary School student said. “I didn’t stay on today long enough to get a score. But I did better and stayed on longer than I did last year.” He said there is no real way to practice riding a steer. His dad said they do ride mechanical bulls sometimes, but Carson said it really doesn’t help that much because the steer is strong and doesn’t buck the same way. Older competitors from the local area as well as from other areas in the state and even from surrounding states

Jacob Barton holds on as tight as he can as he competes in mutton bustin’ during the May 19 Elizabeth Community Rodeo. came for the traditional rodeo events like bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. For example, Shepton Shaw drove six hours from Utah to compete in bareback bronc riding and bull riding, and Clay Weston drove up from La Junta to compete in saddle bronc riding. There were also a number of riders from the local area, like Kiowa resident Jace Angus, who competed in saddle bronc riding. “I am a fifth-generation bronc rider. I also am following the tradition of my grandfather as he rode bucking horses and he in the Army and so am I,” he said. “I am in the infantry right now and I am applying to go to Special Forces. I am stationed at Fort Carson and my wife and I moved to Kiowa a year or so ago.” Carson Fritz holds on as he competes in steer riding. This was the second year the 10-year-old competed in steer riding during the Elizabeth Community Rodeo. The Parker resident made a good ride but didn’t stay on for the full eight seconds, so he didn’t get a score for his ride.
He said in addition to being a soldier he is a professional rodeo rider. “I compete in rodeo to make a living,” he said. “When I do well, rodeo riding pays more than the Army.” Angus stayed on a horse that didn’t buck well so he got a very low score. He said he hoped the judges would award him a re-ride so he could show his skills and get a much higher score so he might place. When the final scores were tallied each winner was announced. Here were some of the winners, according to a list from the rodeo committee: In chute doggin’, Justin Wade won among men and Kristin Bunker among women. Tyler Ferguson was the champion bareback rider with 77 points and Mason Snyder was second. The saddle bronc event had one qualified ride by Jace Angus. In bull riding, Colton Kent beat 13 others with a 75, and Anthony Sutton was the only other rider to last until the whistle. In barrel racing, the youth winner was Karsyn Johnson, open 1D winner was Heather Colletti, open 2D winner was Kristen Myers, open 3D winner was Karsyn Johnson and open 4D winner was Carole Strickland.

Back-to-back weekend events coming to Castle Rock Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival and Ducky Derby kick off June BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Two major events will take place in Castle Rock in early June — the Ducky Derby and the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival. Elephant Rock draws cycling enthusiasts from throughout the region. The Ducky Derby raises funds for local charities. Here are some things to know before each event kicks off.

Elephant Rock The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival began in 1987 as a small event — roughly 1,200 cyclists participated in the first race — but has grown into one that draws cyclists from throughout the region. Last year, 5,500 riders participated, according to the event website. The 31st annual event will kick off early on Saturday, June 2 with a “Sunrise to Sunset” mountain bike race. Registration and packet pick-up begins at noon at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road, and runs through 7 p.m., as does camping and RV check-in. Co-owner and managing partner Chandler Smith said this year they are focusing on creating a weekendlong event with activities spanning both Saturday and Sunday. “Come out and make a weekend of it in Castle Rock,” he said. Multiple activities will fill the first afternoon of the festival, including a bike expo, riding clinics, live music, BMX demonstrations, a bike rodeo and a fashion show. The day will conclude with a Bike-In Movie showing of “Jumanji” in downtown Castle Rock. On Sunday, riders hit the pavement. Registration and packet pick-up begins at 5 a.m. By 5:30 a.m. the first race kicks off. Cyclists can participate in their choice of a 100-mile, 62-mile, 40-mile and 27-mile race. At 9 a.m., an 8-mile family ride begins. Music, food and more BMX demonstrations will follow the races until 4:30 p.m. when all courses close.
Smith called the “most notable new component” to the festival the incorporation of the Primal Colorado Bike Expo, previously held at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. It features 80 exhibits from industry leaders, manufacturers, advocacy groups and cycling clubs. Smith said there is also an improved lunch program for riders. That includes vegetarian and glutenfree meals, according to the website, from Denver and local eateries Park Burger, Birdcall, Flying Horse Catering and Biju’s Little Curry Shop. “We want this to be a festival that is welcoming of all people, age levels, skill levels and abilities,” Smith said. “It’s more than a bike tour. It’s an experience.” More information about registration, individual races and festival activities is available at elephantrockride.com.

Chatfield litigants scurry to speed appeal as construction advances Audubon Society seeks to stop reservoir expansion before trees removed BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The little yellow bird clutched in Meredith McBurney’s hand didn’t seem to mind that it couldn’t fly away. “This isn’t her first rodeo,” McBurney said of the yellow warbler with its tiny legs gingerly pinched between her fingers at a field research station near the South Platte River at the south end of Chatfield State Park. “She comes back here every year. We banded her in 2016. She winters in Central America, but she returns to where she was hatched.” McBurney, a biologist with the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, said she’s concerned about the looming and somewhat uncertain effects of the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project, which will see the high-water mark of the reservoir raised by 12 feet, and require the removal of trees in the “inundation zone” — prime bird habitat, she said. “Conserving birds is tough because they need good habitat everywhere they spend time,” McBurney said. “If birds come back to a place they’ve been going year after year and their habitat is gone, depending on the species, their survival

case — perhaps this fall —irreparable harm will have been done to vital wildlife habitat along the creeks that enter the reservoir. Construction well underway “The health of wildlife is an indicator of the overall health of the ecosystem, including its health for people,” said Polly Reetz, Audubon Denver’s Conservation Chair. “We’ve never said the water they want to capture isn’t needed. But why screw up a state park when you’ve got other options?” Reetz and her husband, Gene, have been instrumental in filing and pursuing Audubon’s lawsuit against the project, a $130 million effort to add an additional 20,600 acre-feet of water storage capacity to the reservoir, to be used by eight municipal water providers and agricultural organizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado. Construction, which started last winter, is expected to wrap up in about a year. The project, which will increase the maximum allowable fluctuation of the reservoir’s depth from 9 feet to 21, does not mean that the reservoir will routinely be at its new high-water mark, and will likely only reach that point in years of significant spring runoff. If you build it Chatfield Reservoir, built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which leases the surrounding land to Colorado’s state-park system. Audubon’s lawsuit claims that the Corps, which was tasked with preparing an Environmental Impact Statement to gauge the project’s compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, failed to properly consider alternatives that would meet the water providers’ goal of increasing water availability to the swiftly growing

Audubon contends that the Corps rejected possibilities including making use of upstream gravel pits for water storage, buying water storage in nearby Rueter-Hess Reservoir, or examining the impact of enhanced water conservation among water users. The Corps rebutted, saying that the gravel pit storage idea was excessively complicated for the amount of water that could have been stored, RueterHess’s water is all bought up already, and that increased water conservation efforts are a great idea but don’t meet the project’s goals of increasing water storage capacity. A judge ruled in favor of the Corps in December 2017, and Audubon announced their intent to appeal the decision in early 2018. Audubon pushed back against the Corps’ rebuttals in a recent legal brief, saying the Corps’ explanations don’t hold water in light of other evidence, and that some documents say the project’s goal is increasing water availability, not storage capacity, meaning that conservation could satisfy the needs of the water users. The Colorado Court of Appeals is currently slated to hear oral arguments in the case in the fall, by which time Audubon says irreversible damage may already have occurred. A judge last year denied Audubon’s request for an injunction against further construction while litigation is ongoing. Down by the river In the meantime, the Reetzes say damage is already being done. They say new haul roads now traverse the park, including one slated to cut SEE CHATFIELD, P27

through the parking lot in front of the Audubon Center. Not quite, said Scott Roush, the manager of Chatfield State Park. “We did not and won’t create a new haul road by the Audubon Center,” Roush said. “There’s a Denver Water Board road down there we have permission to use. All the construction crews are doing is bringing trucks through the parking lot, which technically doesn’t fully belong to the Audubon Center. Their lease specifies that they share the lot with other users.” The Reetzes counter that the truck traffic will hinder the movement of the numerous school buses that drop off field trip students at the center. Access to the route is crucial to performing mitigation along the South Platte ahead of the project’s completion, said Tom Browning, the general manager of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, an umbrella agency representing the project’s various stakeholders. “CRMC will restore the maintenance road to its original condition as a result of any damage caused by the

The river mitigation largely consists of removing beloved trees, Polly Reetz said. Roush countered that many of the trees slated to be removed are already dead, dying, or hazardous. Roush added that crews will plant upward of 100,000 new trees uphill from the new inundation zone. “We were also able to save a lot more trees than we initially thought we could,” Roush said. “The earlier plans called for a lot of clear-cutting, but we’ve since found that many of the more mature trees will be able to withstand occasional inundation.” The park’s recreational facilities are in the process of being moved, which Gene Reetz fears means they’ll be taken from shady groves and placed on hot open prairie.
Kids watch a deer near the Audubon Center at the south end of Chatfield State Park. “There will be areas where trees will be moved that could look different,” Roush responded. “When we move some of the picnic areas it’ll take some time for the trees to establish, but they are planting trees in those areas.” ‘A magical experience’ Gene said the bottom line is that he hopes Chatfield can remain the environmentally
significant place it is. “You have such a diversity of habitat here,” Gene said. “You have grasslands, rabbitbrush, riparian areas with hundred-year-old cottonwoods. Lots of wildlife. There aren’t too many places that have that diversity of habitat.” The value of Chatfield’s environment goes beyond its importance to wildlife,

Gene said. “It’s so close to Denver,” Gene said. “It’s where a family can come for a day for $8. A lot of families can’t go to Rocky Mountain National Park or Yellowstone. “It’s so important to have nature close to home. When you see kids come out here and play in the creek or catch a frog, it’s a magical experience for them.”

‘Most secure facility in the world’ marks 60 years NORAD Cheyenne Mountain facility is the stuff of Cold War legends BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS
A quarter-century has passed since the end of the nuclear standoff between the United States and the former Soviet Union, but the famous U.S. military command center inside Colorado’s Cheyenne Mountain is still alive, tracking new threats from new enemies. The U.S. blasted a warren of tunnels out of the mountain’s hard granite in the 1960s so officers of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, could survive a nuclear attack. Although NORAD called off its “nuclear watch” in 1992 after the Soviet Union disintegrated, Cheyenne Mountain is still teeming with electronics and personnel watching for terrorist attacks and cyber assaults as well as missiles. NORAD, a unique bi-national command created by the U.S. and Canada to protect the skies over both nations, recently marked its 60th anniversary. To mark the occasion, NORAD offered a tour of Cheyenne Mountain in early May. Five things to know about the complex:
1
‘The most secure facility in the world’ The bunker lies 2,000 feet (610 meters) under Cheyenne Mountain outside Colorado Springs, Colorado. It can be sealed off by two
giant blast doors made of concrete and steel, each 3 1/2 feet (1 meter) thick and weighing 23 U.S. tons (21 metric tons). “We like to say it’s the most secure facility in the world,” said Steve Rose, deputy director of the base. The heart of the complex is a grid of six tunnels up to 40 feet (12 meters) wide and three stories high. They hold 15 connected buildings made of steel plates, riding on massive coil springs to absorb the shock of a nuclear blast or earthquake. The granite and steel also protect electronics from destructive pulses of electro-magnetic energy that nuclear explosions produce. Asked whether Cheyenne Mountain is vulnerable to more powerful modern nuclear warheads, Rose answered indirectly: “I don’t think we would be open if it was,” he said.
2
Why NORAD is in Colorado The military put NORAD in Colorado because it is near the center of the continent, far from Soviet bomber bases and missile launchers, said Brian Laslie, NORAD’s deputy historian. The first command center was at the now-decommissioned Ent Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. By the early 1960s, it was clear Ent would not survive a nuclear attack, so work began on burrowing into the mountain, Laslie said. The room is surprisingly small, about 40 feet (12 meters) square. Eight big video screens line the walls. Soft lighting, muted colors and sound-muffling surfaces give the room a hushed, somber feel.
3
Cheyenne Mountain is now the backup In 2008, the military opened a bigger command center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado
Centura Health, U.S. Army form hiring partnership Program designed to attract men, women to military service STAFF REPORT
Centura Health and the U.S. Army signed a partnership agreement May 22 as part of the Army’s Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program. The partnership was designed to help the Army attract men and women who want to serve their country, but also want to plan for their future once their military service is complete. Through the partner-
ship, Centura Health will serve as a potential employer by providing two guaranteed job interviews and possible employment to the participants. “Centura Health is excited for the first interview and every one that follows as a result of this partnership with the U.S. Army,” Amy King, Centura Health senior vice president and chief people officer, said in a news release. “The character traits such as respect, integrity, and service that the Army instills in its soldiers align with the unstoppable force of our Centura Health caregivers. We are neighbors serving neighbors on a mission to create flourishing communities and health care that goes beyond just the physical aspects.”
Springs, saying Cheyenne Mountain was costly to run and that the primary threats at the time, North Korea and Iran, did not have missiles capable of reaching Colorado. Cheyenne Mountain became the alternate command center, but operations regularly return there for a few days at a time to make sure the room and its staff are ready in the event of a crisis. Rose, the base deputy director, rejected the notion that Cheyenne Mountain is a relic. “Couldn’t be farther from the truth,” he said, noting the mountain is fully occupied by a permanent NORAD contingent as well as commands for cyber, intelligence and space surveillance. “A lot of the other areas I can’t talk about,” he added.
4
How NORAD has changed in the 21st century After the Soviet Union collapsed, “NORAD had a bit of a slump as far as the focus of the mission,” said Royal Canadian Air Force Col. Travis Morehen, a senior command center officer. The 9/11 terrorist attacks abruptly changed that. Before 9/11, NORAD watched only for external threats. After the terrorists turned domestic airliners into weapons, NORAD began peering inward as well, monitoring civilian air traffic for potential threats.
NORAD regularly launches fighter jets to intercept private aircraft that stray into restricted airspace, including areas where the president is traveling. It is usually a civilian who didn’t read official notices, Morehen said.
5
Big and little moments in NORAD history In 1979 and 1980, NORAD computer glitches produced false alarms about incoming missiles. Each time, the problem was discovered quickly. Cheyenne Mountain is an alluring setting for science fiction. It was depicted in the 1983 “WarGames” movie, among others, and in the “Stargate” TV series. It takes 45 seconds for built-in hydraulic machinery to close the blast doors. If the hydraulics fail, two people can close them by hand. One door usually remained shut at all times during the Cold War. Since then, commanders ordered them closed only once, on 9/11. NORAD is known worldwide for its “NORAD Tracks Santa” operation, fielding calls from children on Christmas Eve asking where Santa is. The operation has always been run out of Ent or Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, never Cheyenne Mountain, said Laslie, the NORAD historian.

Windsor’s Alyssa Lobato, right, and Valor Christian’s Alexandra Dawes collide trying to get possession of the loose soccer ball. Dawes had the lone goal for the Eagles but the Wizards ended up on top 4-1 in the state championship on May 23 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. PAUL DISALVO
Valor loses to Windsor in state soccer finale Eagles coach praises team for strong performance against top-seeded Wizards BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
There is a pretty convincing reason why Alexandria Daws was one of the captains on the Valor Christian girls soccer team. First of all, Daws is one of only four seniors on the 22-player Eagles varsity squad and more significant is the fact she sacrificed for the team. Daws is a goalkeeper who divided time this season as a midfielder and wound up tied for the team lead in goals scored. In the May 23 Class 4A state championship game against Windsor at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Daws was the keeper in the first half and moved into the field for the final 40 minutes to score the Eagles’ only goal in a 4-1 loss to the Wizards. It was the fourth loss for Valor in a 4A state championship game in the past 10 seasons. The Eagles won the championship in 2011. Top-seeded Windsor finished the season unbeaten with a 19-0-1 record while second-seeded Valor wound up with a 12-4-3 mark. “It’s never easy to get to the championship game and it’s never easy to win,” explained Valor coach Brian Schultz. “I’ve never been more proud
of a second-place trophy. These girls were unbelievable this year. “To get to the championship this year is hard to put into words. We graduated nine girls and lost six others but the girls just rallied. I wish we had played better against Windsor but credit goes to Windsor. They put on an incredible performance on the biggest stage.” Schultz also used “incredible” to describe what Daws meant to the team. She logged 640 minutes as a keeper, made 46 saves and had a 1.250 goals against average. And she tied for the team lead with senior captain Nicole Wright. Each scored eight goals. “Alex is incredibly selfless,” Schultz said.”We knew she had great determination this year. We had great goalies on the team, more than just her. She gave up goaltending because she knew we needed help scoring goals and you saw the kind of goals she can score in the second half. “She’s been doing that all year for us. She was our starring goalkeeper. She and Kenzie (MacKenzie Egan) split time last year and we planned to do that against this year, but Alex started scoring goals for us so we put her up top.” Windsor kept pressure on Valor
the entire game with good movement around the Eagles’ goal. The Wizards, led by three goals from University of Colorado-bound Chaynee Kingsbury, had 17 shots on goal compared to seven for the Eagles. Daws made eight saves in the first half but allowed two goals. She played as a midfielder in the second half and showed her valuable versatility when she scored Valor’s only goal in the 63rd minute, when she sent the ball into the high corner of the net from just outside of the penalty area on the left of the Windsor keeper. “They played the ball really well and number 9 (Kingsbury) was incredible,” admitted Daws. “It is extremely difficult to go from saving the ball and having a goalie mentality to having to go score. You can see everything from the goal and you can kind of see what is open and what is not and what is working. I definitely like being a goalie better, but it’s fun going up and scoring goals.” Another loss in the title game for the Eagles, who have been in five state championship games in 10 years, was tough for Daws to handle. “I was the keeper for the state game two years ago and I really wanted it this year, but …,” she said.
t has almost become run-of-themill these days to tune into the news on television or car radio to hear about some decision that leaves you shaking your head. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently made news with an announcement that I am having trouble accepting and that has me wallowing around trying to see both sides of the subject. The NFHS and OVERTIME NFHS Network have entered into a partnership with PlayVS to start e-sports competition in high schools. Starting this fall, PlayVS will introduce e-sports to high school and state associations with an Jim Benton initial rollout in at least 15 states. After regular-season competition, state championship games will be played before a live audience. E-sports or electronic sports is a form of competition using video games played on computers, video game consoles and even some arcade machines. In the NFHS message, it was pointed out that e-sports is a way for students who haven’t been involved in a sport or activity to become involved. And the costs to implement e-sports are minimal compared to starting more traditional sports. That is a plus for e-sports competition, but I have a big problem with youngsters already glued to devices and playing video games. This plays right into their hands, and I am talking from experience of trying to get my grandsons to take a break before starting another game. Selection of the right games for high school e-sports competition is critical. Colorado High School Activities Commissioner Rhonda BlanfordGreen says CHSAA is investigating e-sports competition. “E-sports is gaining traction across the nation,” she said. “Nineteen states will either conduct or pilot an event next year. Colorado has over 22,000 high school students participating. We are only in the research and learning phase at this time. Current data is reporting that over 200 collegiate institutions are offering full and parSEE BENTON, P32

tial scholarships for student participants. The games will be aligned with mission/vision of educationally based activities.” The NFHS and PlayVS outlined how the competition will work, starting with games that have been approved by state associations. Each season will
June 1, 2018J consists of preseason, regular-season and postseason competitions, with a state champion being crowned at the end of each season. Student teams are matched against other schools based on skill level. There will be no traveling and all matches will happen within the walls of their own schools, with competition occurring via the PlayVS online platform. Each school can field as many teams as they can for as many games in a season. Schools are required to have a

faculty adviser, access to internet and computers. And students are required to pay a $16-per-month participation fee. So I can see it soon where Cherry Creek might be facing Lone Star for the state title or Valor Christian challenging Golden View Classical Academy in a state championship showdown.
“We knew it was going to be close but it was closer than either of us expected,” he said. “It is rare that the electronic finish can’t distinguish a solid placement,” said CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green. “The reveal of the picture showed the runners in a dead heat, truly a photo finish.”
Crazy first-place tie I’ve seen plenty of soccer games that have ended in ties, plus a few horseracing and NASCAR photo finishes. I watched another dead-heat finish on May 19 at the state track meet. And this one was for first place in a Class 4A race as Valor Christian’s Dane Palazzo and Wyatt Wieland of Pine Creek tied for first in the 300-meter hurdles. Both runners lunged toward the finish line and it took more than five minutes to decide that no winner could be determined. In this day of technology, there is some device available for almost every stride an athlete takes, but the photo that was displayed on the scoreboard confirmed that it was impossible to conclude which runner was first. Both runners were timed in 38.01. “It was kind of like one of those things out of a TV show,” said Palazzo. “A tie for first place, it’s just crazy.” Wieland used the same terminology. “I knew I had him the entire race but I think he beat me over the last hurdle,” he said. “So I was kind of expecting to see myself in second but to see it was a tie, that was crazy.” Palazzo said the result of the race wasn’t totally unexpected.
NCAA champion Wake Forest junior Jennifer Kupcho, a graduate of Westminster’s Jefferson Academy, won the NCAA women’s Division I championship, which was held May 18-21 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Kupcho had a 1-under-par 71 to wrap up the title on the final day after rounds of 65, 74 and 70 on the first three days. New basketball coach Castle View High School has hired Jeff Langrehr as its new head boys basketball coach. Langrehr has accumulated over 300 wins in Kansas, where his career included stints at Great Bend and Gardner Edgerton high schools. He has coached two state championship basketball team and has also been a head baseball coach. He will be an English teacher at Castle View and his son, Brooks, will be an incoming sophomore.

Cherry Creek wins state girls golf title Two-day tourney ended with school getting its 11th championship BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Coach Randy Smith spent a lot of time for two days watching the persistence of his Cherry Creek girls golf team. The Bruins, three strokes back of Regis Jesuit and two behind Grandview after the first round of the Class 5A girls state golf tournament on May 21, had a three-golfer final round of 235 on May 22 and won the state championship for the 11th time in school history. Creek, with two freshmen, a sophomore and senior on its four-player team, wound up two strokes in front of Centennial League rival Grandview in the team standings of the tournament held at the Boulder County Club. Creek came in at 478 strokes compared to 480 for Grandview and for thirdplace Fossil Ridge. Payton Canon led the way for the Bruins as the senior tied for third place in the individual standings. “This came down to persistence,” said Smith. “They just wouldn’t give up. We faced a ton of adversity out
there. All season, overcoming adversity has been our number one priority and then let the results handle themselves. I’m really pleased with such a young group that they were able to show some maturity beyond their years.” Smith didn’t offer any information to his players about the team standings during the round, but teammates Alyssa Chin, Rachel Penzenstadler and Kaylynn Xia were watching behind the 18th green and knew the Bruins were in contention when Canon was putting. “They didn’t know where we were,” said Smith. “It was a matter of taking care of business. We’re going to grow and still get better from this. We knew we had to play our game regardless of what happen. If we took care of business I was really confident we would be in the top three. It was a matter of putting the ball in the fairway, problemsolving if you don’t, taking a couple putts and moving on to the next hole. You have to be as emotionally evenkeeled as possible. You have to earn every single stroke.” Canon, who will attend Oregon School of Technology in the fall, opened with 3-over-par 75 and finished with a final-round 77 for a 152 total. “It was a fight all two days,” confessed Canon. “I wasn’t hitting the ball particu-
larly well but I got through it. Even before the tournament started I wanted to win. So my role on the team was to shoot a low round and let them know they can do that too. It is surreal to win the state title. I’ve been waiting four years for this.” Creek freshman Chin had rounds of 83 and 78 for a two-day total of 161 while Xia and Penzenstadler had steady totals of 169 and 172 for the Bruins. “Payton was solid as a rock,” said Smith. “Alyssa Chin, our phenomenal freshman, was just incredible. She didn’t buckle at all under the pressure.” Canon finished as the highest of any golfer from South Metro schools. Highlands Ranch senior Jenna Chun, who tied for medalist honors last season with Grandview’s Amy Chitkoksoong only to lose a playoff on the third extra hole, struggled and finished in ninth place. Chitkoksoong came in in eighth place. Chun shot a final-round 79 that followed an opening-round 75 for a two-day total of 154. Rock Canyon’s Brandy McClain came in 10th with rounds of 77 and 78 for a 155 total. Grandview freshman Emma Bryant, in third place after the opening day, won the state individual championship with rounds of 73 and 70 for a 143 total.
