Community-center issue riles residents
Stonegate Village board’s decision to repurpose building stirs anger
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A dispute over a community center in the Stonegate Village Metropolitan District has created tensions between residents and their board of directors, and the tensions spilled over at a recent board meeting attended by more than 80 Stonegate residents. The board recently decided to convert one of the district’s two community activity centers into offices for a new property
management company, angering residents who say the space is an amenity they pay for and frequently use. Homeowners said the board made its decision behind closed doors and residents only became aware of the decision after some of them received telephone calls notifying them that their reservations for the center were canceled. “I just feel that it’s sad that we’re losing a community center and we’re going to have 3,400 homes with one room to rent,” said Debbie Tidler, a 22-year resident of the district. Stonegate Village is located in unincorporated Douglas County, west of Parker and east of I-25. Approximately 10,000 people re-
side in the 639-acre area in more than 3,400 homes. In 1982, the Stonegate Village Metropolitan District was formed to oversee services related to potable water, wastewater treatment and grounds and facility maintenance for the area. Residents posted more than 150 signs outside the center before the meeting on May 18. Signs bore messages from residents expressing disapproval of the board’s decision. Stonegate residents also presented a petition against the change with over 550 signatures. “The community center is an amenity for residents of Stonegate continues on Page 8

Orchard produces crops, knowledge Hidden Mesa facility is test site for Colorado’s climate
Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen’s decision to leave Colorado to take the same position in Humble, Texas, a district of 39,000 students outside Houston, has sparked communitywide discussion about her legacy and who will replace her. Fagen, hired by the Fagen Douglas County school board in 2010, said in a May 24 email to district staff that she expects to leave by mid-July. There has been a mixed reaction to her Fagen continues on Page 13

Andy Hough may have the most beautiful laboratory in Colorado. Hough, the environmental resources coordinator for Douglas County’s Division of Open Space and Natural Resources, grew his first garden at 10 years old. Now he oversees the Hidden Mesa Research Orchard, using spades and clipboards the way other scientists use Bunsen burners and computers. Walking between rows of apple trees and vegetable beds, Hough describes the purpose of the orchard. Orchard continues on Page 27

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
JOY HUGGINS Dancing and walking the dog through Parker About me Dancing is my favorite thing to do. I teach line dancing and social dancing at the PACE Center here in Parker, about 10 classes a week. I really enjoy seeing the moment when people “get it.” People are really happy when they finally learn to do the moves. I’ve lived in Parker for 15 years but I’ve also taught in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. I’d like to learn how to do clog dancing and then teach it. The one thing I tell new students is to
just have fun, tell yourself you’re getting better. And fake it ‘til you make it. Off the clock I come to the park twice a day to walk my dog, Dee Oh Gee, and I like to go to the mountans, see my friends or go out to eat. My favorite food is Mexican and some of my favorite restaurants are Indochine and Las Delicias. Movie time I like chick flicks, I don’t go for intense movies. Sandra Bullock is probably my favorite actress, and I think I’ve probably seen all of her movies. In the 15 years I’ve lived here… In the time I’ve lived here, Parker has just gotten more compacted and more crowded. There’s just more people. It’s good for my work because it draws more students to my classes. The bad part is that there’s just a lot more traffic. Do you have a suggestion for My name is…?

‘As Titans, as family, as one’ Legend High School celebrates its graduates amid wet, windy weather
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A storm swept across the sky over Sports Authority Stadium on May 27, threatening to dampen the ceremony as Legend High School sent off its graduating class. But the Titans pressed on, holding their caps in place and battling tassels that tickled their faces. Principal Jason Jacob joked that those in attendance made history. “It’s our first Legend graduation in the rain,” Jacob said. Family was a theme that ran through most of the speeches given to the graduates and audience, and Jacob reinforced the message by leading everyone in attendance in a rendition of “Happy Birthday” for one of the students who had two reasons to celebrate that day. Jacob closed by reminding graduates that, no matter what happens once they leave Legend, he will always be there for them. “Wherever you are,” he said, “if you need something, come and find me.” Student speakers touched on the connections the students felt with one another and the hope they shared that they all would find their own version of success in the adult world. Student Gracie Davis spoke of heroism in her address. As a child she admired Cleopatra and Spider-Man. As she matured, she said she realized everyone feels a “call to adventure” and true heroism isn’t measured in battles won, but in changing the world in “a million little ways.” Valedictorian Mayah McCumsey’s address brought home the theme that though the graduates are all about to go their separate ways, they move forward together: “as Titans, as family, as one. As Legend.”

Summoned by the call of the pipes
this is where it really helps out a guy who is approaching 70, cognitive reserve. You kind of get a run for your money as you get older, I’ll tell ya.”
Lone Tree firefighters’ bagpipe band plays to honor service By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media Mike West has been playing the bagpipes for more than six years, but still considers himself an amateur. “As fire department bagpipers go, I’m OK,” West said. “As bagpipers go, I’m definitely a novice.” West seasons the reed in his mouth one last time before twisting the chanter into the chanter stock, securing it to the black leather bag. He slips the instrument’s loose configuration over his shoulder and tucks the bag under his left arm. Following a few puffs on the mouthpiece, he strikes the bag with his free hand. The truck bay of South Metro Fire Station 34 in Lone Tree fills with the steady notes of three drones followed by a higher-pitched melody as West fingers the chanter. West is a charter member of the South Metro Fire Pipes and Drums, which provides pipes and drums for departmental functions. Most noted for its service to fallen first responders, the band also plays at retirements, awards ceremonies and firehouse dedications. “A lot of times the bagpipers will get called to just help out at a funeral, play either at the church or at the gravesite,” firefighter-paramedic Eric Hendee said. “When we do a funeral for somebody, just that part of it can really add to the event.” Hendee said that it’s not about the piper being in the spotlight but enhancing the service in honor of the family members. “Many times we get thanked profusely for what we did,” he said, “because whatever tune we played, hopefully, had a significant impact on that family.” The start of the band The idea for the South Metro Fire Pipes and Drums began six years ago with an email from Hendee to his fellow firefighters. “So I sent that email out in June of 2010,” Hendee said. “It was right when the Parker Fire Protection District and South Metro were merging. It was actually the first team that got formed between the joint venture.” Hendee wanted to share the heritage of pipes and drums with the fire service, as well as the music of the Irish and Scottish communities, while promoting the brotherhood that both represent. “We seek to support our members in their lowest and highest moments by sharing these traditions,” he said. “At the time, neither station had a pipe band. It’s one of those things where it’s a real honor to be on. It’s helped bring together the department.”
Drummers Niamh Kennedy, tenor drum, and Brian Page, bass drum, join with pipers at their weekly practice. Though not a firefighter, Kennedy is welcomed to play and perform with the band.
Piper Mike West warms up ahead of group practice. West has been playing the bagpipes for six years and still considers himself an amateur. Photos by Rick Gustafson By August 2010, the group had hired a bagpipe instructor and a drum instructor, and held its first practice. Members continued to hold weekly practices until the band was ready for its first performance 16 months later, a funeral service for one of the band’s own. South Metro firefighter and bagpiper David “Sparky” Truax died in a car accident three days before Christmas in 2011. A tradition from the old country The tradition of pipe bands in the fire service and police departments stems back to the migration of about a million Irish immigrants during the middle of the 19th century. Fleeing the Great Hunger in the years of the potato blight, they came to the United States looking for a new life while holding on to reminders of home. “For them, it was the bagpipes,” Hendee said. “When they got here, they could only really apply for jobs that were lower-class jobs, which at the time, were the police department and the fire service. And if someone got married, they would play their bagpipes. If somebody died, they played their bagpipes. So it just became ingrained in the fabric of law enforcement of fire service.” Retired firefighter Jim Drummond is a legacy of that tradition. While his fellow pipers practice in the parking lot behind station 34, he sits in a conference room with sheet music spread on the table in front of him. The practice chanter in his hands resembles a miniature clarinet without the keys, and Drummond fingers the delicate holes with fingers thick from a lifetime of work. At nearly 70 years old, he is one of the newest members of South Metro’s band. “I love bagpipe music — I always have,” Drummond said. “I’m one-quarter Scottish, three-quarters Irish. The Drum-
mond part of me is the Scots. More than anything, I really like the music; it’s stirring. For a lot of people, you either like it or don’t. And I do.” Drummond began his career as a firefighter in May 1983 and retired 30 years later as a battalion chief at South Metro. “When you do this job, you don’t realize how keyed up you are,” he said. “After about two or three months, I could feel myself unwinding. I was pretty wired when I first retired. And I’m really good at relaxing now.” Drummond still feels a duty to perform community service and occasionally works with Habitat for Humanity. He also traveled on a mission trip to Niger, Africa. But the restlessness of retirement called him back to the fire station. “You can get too much of relaxing,” he said. “They say do something different, and this just really peaked my interest. So
‘Nothing without effort’ To play with the band Drummond must memorize three songs. Once he has performed to the satisfaction of the band’s instructor on the practice chanter, he can begin practicing on full bagpipes with the rest of the band. “It’s like a test. Are you going to hang in here and do three songs?” Drummond said and taps the sheet music to the tune, “Mari’s Wedding.” “So I’m learning my third song, but then I have to memorize them.” The requirement to become a performing member of the band is emblematic of the band’s motto: Tada gan Iarracht. “Nothing without effort.” Originally, the motto was one of the last things on Hendee’s list when the idea struck him to create the band. “In my original email, I said before we pick the motto, before we pick our tartan, before we strike in for our first tune, we’ve got to figure out if we’re going to get this going,” Hendee said. “The very next day somebody suggested it. It totally fits – because the bagpipes, a lot of effort, trying to play the drums, a lot of effort.” South Metro supports the band by providing the uniforms, but band members must purchase their own instruments, which run in the thousands of dollars. They also pay for the instructor. The band is relatively small but growing. It has three bagpipers who are performance ready, and three more who can play partial performances. Another five still are on the practice chanter. West has been joined by David Healy and a third piper. The trio has moved out of the bays to practice with a tenor drummer and the band’s only base drummer, also recently arrived. And occasionally, residents will stop by the station and pause to listen — summoned, it seems, by the call of the pipes.

Parker Days still ‘growing in all ways’ 2016 expands attractions to accommodate public interest By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com In the six years Sara Crowe has been planning the Parker Days festival, she’s seen a lot of changes. “It’s growing, in all ways,” Crowe said of the 39-year-old festival that highlights the community it’s named for. This year’s Parker Days takes place from June 9-12, and though she’s extremely busy finalizing details for the celebration, Crowe is excited to get it underway. “I absolutely love it,” Crowe said. “Other than spending time with my family, it’s my favorite time of the year.” Attendance for the festival has in-
creased in each of the past six years Crowe has been organizing it. With increased attendance comes the balancing act of bringing back favorite attractions and finding new ones. Crowe said this year’s celebration will have a lot of both to make sure everyone who comes makes lasting memories. “It’s about the girl who’s been coming here since she was 10, and now she’s 40 and coming with her own kids,” Crowe said. “It’s about the kid who’s finally tall enough to ride the rides for the first time. It’s about the traditions you see, but it’s also about the new people in the community doing it for the first time.” Old traditions like buskers, clowns and carnival food will be abundant as always, but other recent favorites and new attractions will also be featured. The Stunt Jump will return after a
successful outing last year, and Ronald McDonald will also walk the parade and perform magic at the community stage immediately afterward. After Wooly, the Colorado Mammoth’s mascot, made such a hit in last year’s parade, mascots from the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets and the Denver Outlaws will all be on hand. Brand-new attractions cover a wide array of activities. Getting teenagers and children involved was a priority during this year’s planning, Crowe said. This year, a pole-vaulting demonstration will be held on Pikes Peak Drive after Saturday’s parade, and area high school students will show off their skills. That evening, James Egbert will bring his brand of electronic dance music to a party hosted by the Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Southeast Christian Church and
Crossroads Community Church. Dancers of different ages and styles will get their chance to cut a rug on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as instructors from the Fred Astaire Studio offer free dance lessons in the gazebo at O’Brien Park. As in years past, music will be a big part of this year’s festival. Thursday night’s kickoff concert begins at 8:30 p.m. at O’Brien Park, featuring classic rock stalwarts 38 Special. Doors for the show open at 6 p.m. Saturday night’s featured performer will be country music up-andcomers Love and Theft. Crowe said she’s proud that previous bands LoCash and Gloriana have gone from the stage at Parker Days to national recognition. “We get bands when they’re right on the cusp of hitting it big,” she said with a smile.

This year’s NAMIWalk — an event focused 6 on mental health — had the largest turnout tov date, with more than 1,200 walkers. o “This event is a wonderful opportunity s for the community to come together and support one another,” said Donna Parisi, vice 8 president and program coordinator of NAMI w of Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “There is a lot of love, laughter and smiles at these s events.” d NAMI — the National Alliance on Mental t Illness — is an international nonprofit organi-I zation dedicated to mental health awareness c through programs, classes, support groups and community events. b NAMIWalks are scheduled for May, which a is National Mental Health Awareness month. c This year’s May 21 walk at Centennial Center Park, at East Peakview Avenue and South Uvalda Street in Centennial, was one of three in the state. Others were in Grand Junction and Pueblo. “We get people from all over the state at these walks,” said Jason Hopcus, executive director of NAMI Colorado. NAMI Colorado and volunteers host the annual walks to raise funds and engage the community in mental health awareness. It’s a celebration of hope and recovery for those dealing with mental illness, Parisi said. This year, positive energy radiated from the crowd, which was a mix of individuals, couples, families, children and dogs. “NAMIWalks lets the sun shine on people who are so often left in the dark corners of society,” Parisi said.

Stonegate Continued from Page 1
Stonegate, not a makeshift office space for inexperienced property managers,” read a sign by resident Sean O’Brien. The meeting attracted more than 80 residents and grew heated at times. Board President Lisa Hyvonen began the meeting by pointing out a police officer in the back of the room and telling residents the meeting would end if comments were not respectful. Hyvonen also read a statement saying a committee of residents would be formed to help guide the board in its future decisions regarding services at Stonegate Village. During public comment, residents asked if the repurposing of the community center would be delayed until the suggested committee could weigh in, but board members did not respond to their questions. In an email on May 25, Hyvonen did not indicate directly whether or not the board would move forward with the change. “We will be meeting to figure out what our next steps are. I think I can speak for all of us and say that I can envision this committee to become an integral part of Stonegate in the future,” Hyvonen said. Hyvonen added that the process of converting the center into office space had been in the works for years. She said it makes sense to have a property management company on-site and the most cost-effective choice was to use the community center building. “This was not a new decision,” Hyvonen said. “It had always been something that previous boards toyed with, but never implemented.” Regardless of when the decision was made, Stonegate residents said they won’t stand for it. Many who spoke at the meeting proposed alternative solutions to the issue, including renting available office space near the district and building new offices. But a few who spoke had other ideas for how to resolve the issue if the board didn’t reconsider their decision. One of them was Cliff Love, who has lived in Stonegate since 1999. “I’ve found out what it would take to recall you,” he said.

Road-rage attacker gets jail time, probation Daughter’s social media post led to arrest of Steven Paula By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A 30-second fit of road rage resulted in 60 days in jail and three years of supervised probation for Steven Paula. Paula, 44, was convicted on March 16 of misdemeanor assault and leaving the scene of a Parker collision on November 8, 2014, after he and teenager Mason Deal were involved in a minor traffic accident. Witnesses said Paula struck Deal several times in the head with a closed fist during the incident, then sped away from the scene, running a red light as he did so. -It took police five days, and help from social media, to find and apprehend Paula. Mason Deal, 19, was in the courtroom but did not testify. His parents, Michael and Karen Ann Deal, both addressed the court.
Michael Deal said Paula shaved his beard to avoid being caught and was arrested only because Paula’s own daughter posted a video of the assault on Snapchat to boast about it. The video was quickly deleted from the app, but a friend of Deal’s took a screenshot and turned it over to Parker police. Michael Deal also testiPaula fied that someone from Paula’s family antagonized his family on Craigslist after they posted information to try to find Paula before his arrest. Deal read insulting comments posted about his wife from the message that he said ended with a photo of a hand extending a middle finger. Karen Ann said the day of the assault was “one of the worst days, if not the worst day, of (her) life.” Both of the Deals said they were upset that Paula had not accepted responsibility for the assault or expressed remorse.

‘Service above self ’ Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club names Trey Biles of Parker Officer of the Year By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com In his speech introducing Officer Trey Biles, retired Colorado State Patrol Maj. Ralph Martin described the challenges all police officers face day to day. He quoted Cynthia Brown, publisher of American Police Beat: “They are ordinary people, no different than you or me, except when it’s time to risk their lives to save a stranger,” Martin said. “Then, these individuals display qualities we rarely see.” Martin, a member of the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club, was instrumental in developing the club’s annual Officer of the Year award. This year, the club selected Biles as their honoree, for his daily efforts to keep the community safe and his quick thinking on a tragic day in January. On the morning of Jan. 14, Biles risked his life responding to a call of three teenagers who fell through the ice on a pond in the Hidden River neighborhood. Biles was the first responder to arrive on the scene. He quickly found the hole in the ice approximately 20 feet from
to the incident as a “savage beating” and recounted testimony from witnesses at Paula’s trial who said Mason Deal never tried to fight back. As part of his sentence, Paula will be required to complete an anger management class and a defensive driving class. He will also be required to write letters of apology to the Deal family as well as his own children. Paula will begin his sentence on June 6. After the sentence was announced, Karen Ann Deal said she would have preferred a longer jail sentence for Paula, but added that she and her son are relieved to have closure. “We’re just glad it’s over,” she said. “I wouldn’t want any other mother to go through what I’ve been through.” Michael Deal was also glad the case was concluded. “We’re absolutely glad to get this thing behind us,” he said, adding: “I hope the defendant gets something out of this too. I hope he learns from this and can show his family what it means to be a productive member of society.”
Defense attorney John Miquel responded, saying testimony about the Craigslist post was inappropriate since police could not identify who sent it. He added that Paula expressed remorse for the incident in a letter, dated May 18, that Miquel presented to the court. Paula and his wife each testified and apologized to the Deals. They both said that Paula was remorseful and accepted responsibility for his actions. But Judge Monica J. Gomez said she disagreed. “He didn’t accept responsibility,” Gomez said. “He simply got caught.” Gomez added “one of the ironies of this case is that, but for the defendant’s daughter posting a video on Snapchat, we wouldn’t be here today.” Gomez said Michael Deal’s testimony about the insulting Craigslist message did not affect her decision in determining the sentence. She said that Paula had faced several assault charges previously, though they were all reduced to lesser charges in plea deals. Gomez also referred
shore where Cole Robinson was holding on for his life. Biles grabbed a tree branch and walked about 10 feet toward Robinson, then lay down and extended the branch. He encouraged Robinson, who was already suffering from hypothermia, to grasp the branch, then pulled him to shore. As Officer Rebecca Smith tended to Robinson, Biles returned to the ice and began breaking it to try to find the missing boys. Along with members of South Metro Fire Rescue, he fell into the icy water during the attempt. The boys, Max Gantnier and Patric Lantz, later died. The ceremony is part of National Police Week, a nationwide event started in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy to recognize peace officers for their service. The Rotary Club began honoring police officers three years ago at Martin’s suggestion to participate in the national event and to highlight the work of local law enforcement officers. This is the second year in a row that Biles was selected. He was recognized last year for the followup work he did with Parker juveniles who had attempted suicide. “One of the tenets of the Rotary Club, “service above self,” also exemplifies what it means to be a police officer,” Biles said. “It is a great honor to receive this award, two years in a row, from an organization dedicated to serving the community.”

Challenges, balance are key to good life “Every day is a new challenge.” That was the response to the first question I had asked of Diana Rudolph during our coffee meeting the other day. It was such a great response and it fueled the rest of my questions for our brief visit together. Now for some context. You see, I had written a couple of recent columns “The Champion in All of Us,” and “Being CrossFit for Life,” and talked about the importance of keeping balance in all areas of our lives. Too much of anything and soon enough an overdeveloped strength can quickly become a weakness. So we need to invest time proportionately in ourselves and in our family and friends in the areas of our mind, body and spirit. Many people responded to the columns and shared their views and opinions, some focused on how they balance and prioritize their lives, others had questions on how to actually achieve this balance, and others focused on the CrossFit element. One local reader and owner of the CrossFit Loop thanked me for the column and invited me to come and work out with him and the gang at his box. I appreciate Korby for the invite and for the introduction to Diana Rudolph, who happened to be training there that day. I would say it was a coincidence, but we know that coincidences are just God’s way of staying anonymous. Diana recently qualified for the CrossFit Games, kind of like the Super Bowl for football or the World Series in baseball. She is currently ranked 22nd amongst the women in the world and is looking forward to competing at the very highest level as the CrossFit Games get underway this summer. My curiosity was piqued for sure. So I had to ask more about when she got started, how
she trains, eats, sets goals and balances all other areas of her life. I mean, here she is ranked 22nd and competing at the highest level in the sport and she only started training five years ago, and before she started her journey she shared with me that she Michael Norton could not do any of the exercises, let alone one WINNING pull-up. She has a family, runs a business, and WORDS finds time to train three hours a day, three days a week. She has three trainers and trains in two different CrossFit boxes, CrossFit Loop and Front Range CrossFit. By the way, special shout-out to her coaches Scott, Renee, Mike and Korby for helping Diana get to this point. Now, her achievement is pretty incredible and I can’t wait to see how the games turn out. But what she shared with me as we started the conversation is what really got my attention. “Every day is a new challenge.” That is what she loves about CrossFit and what she loves about life. Many of us face new challenges every day in all that we do. So for my own benefit and for your benefit I asked her about how she deals with those challenges. Her answer: • Set goals — general goals that can be achieved, stretch goals where she can push the envelope every day • She does this because she wants to find out where her peak actually is; challenges inspire her.
• She has learned how to balance all areas of life and has become self-sufficient in so many ways. • Discipline and intensity. • Leans on her coaches and advisers. Diana has at least two new goals. She participates in a fundraiser called the Do More Charity Challenge. Last year her team came in second and her goal this year is to take first place. And she is currently ranked 22nd and her goal is to break into the top 10. I love this because one is a personal goal and one is a communitydriven goal and a way for her to give back. That is the balance I am talking about. I may have forgotten to mention that Diana is 52 years old. So she began her journey at 47. So you see, it really doesn’t matter where we are in our lives, we can set and achieve goals at any time and at any age. And as a matter of fact, Diana’s mom, Sharon, started CrossFit training at age 73 and has also recently competed. It reminds me of what Zig Ziglar used to say, “We cannot make any more new yesterdays, but we can create as many new tomorrows as we possibly can.” What’s on your list for a new tomorrow? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can set goals, push to find our peak, find balance in our lives, live with discipline and intensity, lean on our coaches and advisers and give back to the community, it really will be a better than good week. Thanks for being such a great example, Diana, and we all wish you success in the CrossFit Games. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Be prudent with petitions Currently 24 ballot proposals have been approved for petition circulation. This means you will probably be approached by a variety of petition circulators at your grocery store, library, shopping mall or other public venues asking you to sign a variety of initiative petitions. And most will advocate signing the petition “just to get it on the ballot so people can vote on it.” Be cautious. Your signature is valuable. The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties suggest you consider these six questions to help you decide whether or not to sign a petition. • Is it complex? Some issues can be decided by a simple yes or no vote. Complex issues may need additional questions answered and explained. • Is it confusing? Some ballot proposals may require court resolutions or interpretation. Ask the circulator to explain the issue. • Does it belong in the Colorado Constitution? If the issue passes and is placed in the Colorado Constitution, it will stay there forever. The only way it can be changed it by another vote of the people. • How will it be funded? An initiative should generally create its own revenue source and not earmark, restrict or obligate a specific percentage of the state’s General Fund revenues. • Who is behind it?

Columnists & Guest Commentaries The Chronicle features a limited number of regular columnists, found on these pages and elsewhere in the paper, depending on the typical subject the columnist covers. Their opinions are not necessarily those of the Chronicle.
Song planted idea, and then words went to seed The following column is intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised. I have always wanted to say that. Even though there is no cause. The words to a song changed my life. If it weren’t for the words to this song, Craig Marshall Smith where would I be right now? QUIET I would be in NoDESPERATION wheresville. I know I would be living in the Englishlanguage slums with an unwashed vocabulary, getting by with catchy phrases like “Pleased to meet you,” and “How is your mother, Carl?” My tongue would be thick, untrained, and guilty of the mispronunciation of words like “perpendicular” and “genuflect.” By the way, you can’t be perpendicular and
genuflect at the same time. It was tried once by a man in Ottawa. He sustained injuries that were not life-threatening. I consider the “West Side Story” soundtrack to be life-threatening. Not in the sense that I’m going to die when I listen to it. In the sense that it profoundly threatens the quality of my existence. Where was I when I first heard the song that changed my life? I do not know. How old was I when I heard the song? I do not know. I must have been 5 or 6, because I can vaguely recall singing it on the playground. It turned heads for two reasons. Then as now, I couldn’t sing worth crapulence. Secondly, the lyrics are stupefying. “Say what?” Jimmy Detwiler said. “Excuse me?” Emily Danford said. OK. So if Jimmy and Emily were in the picture, that places me in Hopwood, Pennsylvania. Now we are getting somewhere. It had to have been 1953 or 1954. Smith continues on Page 11

Home care and hospice are beautiful partnership Hospice is specialized care for individuals with a terminal diagnosis and with less than six months to live. A patient’s team of experts seeks to relieve pain and to bring comfort and every bit of joy to the person’s last days. Many people have the misconception that at-home hospice services provide round-the-clock care. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Although hospice staffs are always on call and available for emergency situations, actual hospice services only offer an hour or two of certified nursing assistant care per day as well as weekly nurse visits. Home care can supply a much broader range of care. One of the first things a hospice team will do for a patient is to prepare an individualized care plan that will, among other things, address the amount of care and support needed for the patient. Oftentimes family caregivers are on site to support their loved one when hospice is not there. There are situations where the hospice patient does not have family or the family lives far away or it is just too overwhelming and they need respite themselves. Home care can help. Home care providers can provide respite care to families. Respite care is stand-in care given to a patient so that
the family caregiver can take a break and get some relief from the burden of caregiving. Having respite care can enable family caregivers to keep providing rather than burning out or becoming ill themselves. OngoChristina Davis ing caregiving can one’s LIVING AND deteriorate physical well-being well as one’s AGING WELL as mental health, potentially leading to anxiety attacks, depression and other issues. Respite home care provides time and space needed to heal and recuperate. Home care provides specially trained caregivers that help fill the gap with personal and companion care services and respite care for families in need. Some of the services home care provides include: • Personal care — including incontinence care, bathing, grooming, dressing • Linen changes • Housekeeping • Companionship
• Emotional support • Respite care in the home for family caregivers Acceptance of hospice and home care can be difficult for both the patient and the family. Both agencies can help families understand that they are there to provide the best care for their loved one, to offer services to make the transition comfortable and dignified, and to give families peace of mind that their loved one has everything they need. Sometimes, families simply are not sure where to find hospice or home care help. A family can search for these resources in many ways. One option is to check online search engines such as Google or Bing. A family can ask their doctor’s office or local rehabilitation center for a referral — often they have connections with both types of agencies. Neighbors and friends are always a great way to find help, or one can look in a local Seniors Resource Guide directory. Some things to consider when searching for a homecare company to help with your loved one: • How long has the agency been providing home care services? • Does the company perform background checks on all staff? • How does this provider select and
train its employees? • Does the home care company have caregivers trained in hospice care? • Can they meet any special needs you may have such as language or cultural preferences? • Does the company have enough hospice-trained caregivers to provide the care needed? Not all home care agencies are able to provide 24/7 care. Home care and hospice have a supportive, collaborative partnership. When families are faced with the loss of a loved one, they need to know that there are options to help them during this painful time. During such a difficult time, family members should simply be able to be family. Allow home care professionals to take on the responsibility of giving care to your loved one while you spend those irreplaceable moments with one another.

Legislature on wrong side in Colorado beer war The Colorado Legislature passed a compromise bill in the waning hours of the legislative session, which if signed into law, would make a bad situation even worse. The last-minute bill requires our antiquated liquor laws to favor one competitor over another for the next 20 years. Grocery store chains in Colorado are pushing for a ballot initiative in November that would give them the right to sell beer and wine in more than one location. Currently, a grocer can apply for a liquor license, but only in one store throughout the state. The exception is the sale of socalled “near beer” with an alcohol content of 3.2 percent or less. These restrictions benefit the momand-pop liquor stores to the detriment of chain groceries. Existing Colorado law sides with David, not Goliath. The heart of the compromise is a 20-year prohibition of real competition. The bill establishes a complicated set of conditions that grocery stores must meet before they can compete freely. The worst condition is a geographic monopoly that can be overcome only if a liquor store decides to sell their business to a grocer. Senate Bill 197 continues to favor David. My view is that Colorado’s alcohol laws are mired in Prohibition-era politics of the previous century and should be overhauled way beyond letting grocery store chains sell real beer and wine. For example, Colorado law requires a local licensing board to judge a person’s “moral character” and deny a license if the ap-
plicant doesn’t measure up. Should a licensing board ask an applicant if he or she ever committed adultery? That act is immoral and sinful but, in Colorado, it’s not illegal. The state also requires a liquor applicant to declare Jerry Presley their race, even though this is not GUEST required for a ColoCOLUMN rado birth certificate or a driver’s license. This information is not needed for identification and is irrelevant in determining a person’s worthiness to obtain a liquor license. Government has two legitimate interests in controlling alcohol sales: It should prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors and it should prohibit the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons. Alcohol sales absolutely should be licensed and regulated. Beyond that, government has no business favoring one seller over another regardless of the size of the seller. Government should treat big business the same as small business and vice versa. Its role is to make sure there is a level playing field. The marketplace should pick winners and losers. However, the compromise bill specifi-

I did, but it came back. It was marked “Return to sender, address unknown.” “Elvis,” I said to myself. That one little song showed me that language can be an art. Words can become poems, non-sequiturs, double entendres, palindromes, innuendos, puns, quips and homophones, deer readers. One of the song’s writers said the song was based on an English nursery rhyme. “Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet and liddle sharksy doisters.” “Mairzy Doats” was composed in 1943, recorded by the Merry Macs, and it reached No. 1 in 1944. All I know is that it changed my life. It opened me up to the possibilities of clever wording. My next encounter with grammar play came every day at noon in 1956 when we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It involved a man named Milton Supman. His stage name was Soupy Sales. The English nursery rhyme was a twist on “Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat and little sharks eat oysters.”

I was still unfamiliar with Edward R. Murrow at that point. The song came out of our new Philco. I kind of remember Dave Garroway asking Marlin Perkins, “Did you see or touch any monkeys?” And then Garroway introduced a local man who sang a novelty song. It began like this. “Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe!” I’m telling you. I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what I had just heard. But that is exactly how my love for words and wordplay began. Only I didn’t know it at the time. It took hindsight. A date asked me, “How do you come up with these things?” She was referring to a comment I had just made about the similarities between non-dairy whitener and Kanye West. I said, “It’s because of this song,” and I began to sing it. “Please don’t,” she said. “Mail it to me.”

cally requires a liquor applicant to prove there is an unmet need in the neighborhood before a new license can be granted. It seems to me that if anyone wants to risk money to compete in the marketplace, then by definition, there is an unmet need. The person risking money certainly thinks so. Why should government determine “need” when entrepreneurs and consumers can do it far better and much more efficiently? The compromise legislation is not in the best interests of citizens, voters or consumers. The State of Colorado should not favor David or Goliath. Let them
battle. I think there is a good chance that everyone will win, especially the consumer. The proposed legislative compromise does not pass the smell test and I hope Gov. John Hickenlooper signs his name on the line that says “veto.” Protecting the special interests of some by prohibiting competition from others is not the proper role of government.

A senior stroll in the sunshine Locals participate in National Senior Health and Fitness Day By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com The sun shone brightly and the air was warm as senior citizens walked a loop around O’Brien Park on May 25 as part of the sixth annual Senior Stroll, featuring exercise, breakfast, a raffle and fellowship. “It’s just a neat event,” said Lynn Farmer, a Parker resident who has participated in all the walks. “Everybody here is very congenial and everybody has a good time.” Many walkers stopped after one trip around the park, but Farmer was one of about 75 participants who walked the loop twice to get in a full mile. Parker Parks and Recreation hosts the event each year in conjunction with National Senior Health and Fitness Day, an event that involves more than 100,000 senior citizens across the United States. Farmer enjoys the food and the scenery as much as the walk, but she said there was a hint of competition between a pair of other participants. Friends for more than 30 years, Betty Zellers and Patty Doyle compared pedometers after the walk. They found that Doyle had taken 400 steps more than Zellers, despite walking the same distance. “I walk like a baby, so I have to take more steps,” Doyle said. Zellers looks forward to the event every

“Every year I meet more people that I know and get to know,” Zellers said. Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness supervisor for Parker Parks and Recreation, said socialization is a “huge” part of the event. “I just think it’s a fun way for our seniors to get out and get some exercise and get to mingle with each other,” she said. Roemersberger pointed to a woman in the gazebo who was new to Parker as an example of how the Stroll can bring seniors together. The woman came to the event empty-handed but left with new acquaintances’ phone numbers. The event also gives seniors a chance to learn about services from the Parks and Recreation department. Roemersberger touts the Silver Sneakers program that allows seniors to utilize secondary health insurance for access to classes and exercise facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department also provides yoga, warm water therapy and more. This year’s Stroll boasted its best attendance to date, with 152 seniors participating, no doubt due in part to favorable weather conditions. Doyle said she and Zellers were among those who skipped last year’s event due to chilly weather, but as long as the sun is shining, they’ll keep coming back. “As long as we can keep walking,” Doyle said, “we’ll be here.”

appointment in Humble. A change.org petition protesting her hiring received 2,000 signatures online as of May 26. Meanwhile, parents and community members in Douglas County posted dozens of anti-Fagen comments on the Humble school district’s Facebook page. On May 25, the Humble district put out a letter defending the hire. “Our School Board was well informed on all aspects related to Dr. Fagen’s candidacy,” the letter from Robert Sitton, Humble school board president, reads. “We are aware of the posts from Colorado on our district’s social media page last night and today. We have reviewed the posts, and we want you to know that none of the comments posted were a surprise to us, as we have done extensive research on all seven of our superintendent candidates, including Dr. Liz Fagen.” Fagen’s legacy In Douglas County, parents and educators are reflecting on the impact of Fagen’s six years at the helm of the district, which is Colorado’s third largest with about 67,000 students. “Under Superintendent Fagen’s leadership employee morale has plummeted and millions of dollars have been diverted away from the education of students to fund reform initiatives with unknown budgets and little accountability,” said Laura Mutton, president of the Strong Schools Coalition, a nonpartisan organization of parents, students, teachers and community members. “Ideally, the next superintendent of Douglas County School District will address the many concerns of the community and restore trust so the district can move forward in a positive direction for the sake of our students.” Initiatives that sparked criticism during Fagen’s tenure included the implementation of a new market-based pay system that compensated teachers of in-demand subjects like science and math at a higher rate and measured teacher performance in categories ranging from Highly Effective to Ineffective. The district is also in the midst of multiple legal challenges surrounding its attempt to create a voucher system. In 2012, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union. And the hashtag #firefagen has been used widely on social media for more than a year. Jason Virdin, spokesman for the group Douglas County Parents, a group of parents and community members, called Fagen’s tenure “an era of disregard.” “I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about her time in Douglas County,” Virdin said. Virdin said his group hopes the next superintendent will be a better communicator who will “check their political affiliation at the door and put more money into classrooms than pet projects.” Jenny Robertson, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said she is “happy that Dr. Fagen is leaving Douglas County, but I am very concerned for the Humble community. I don’t think she’s fit to lead any public school district. Her experiments are aggressive and unproven. They would be a better fit in situations where parents knowingly opt their children into them.”
Teachers’ union officials also called Fagen’s departure a necessary change. “Although we believe that this is a positive step toward reclaiming public education in Douglas County, we also realize that Dr. Fagen acted in concert with the school board that directed her,” Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said. “And, until a majority of board members are elected who support public education and who will treat teachers and staff as the professionals they are, there will be no significant change in the direction of the district.” But Fagen’s supporters believe she made a positive impact in a challenging environment. John Carson, a University of Colorado regent and a member of the Douglas County School Board from 2005-13, praised Fagen for expanding school choice, strengthening charter schools and implementing a payfor-performance system for teachers. “Dr. Fagen did an excellent job,” said Carson, who was the school board president when Fagen was hired. “She was the kind of leader that challenged the district to excel and improve. She wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.” Carson, who has two children in the district, said he hopes the next superintendent will continue to innovate and build on the work that was done over the past six years. “She poured six years of her life into our district,” said Meghann Silverthorn, who has been school board president since November. “So we are grateful for her service. She oversaw a lot of great successes in the district for parents, students and staff.” The district’s graduation rate has risen steadily under Fagen’s watch. The rate for 2009-10 was 83 percent and for 2014-15 it was 89 percent, according to Colorado Department of Education figures. The average ACT score of district students remained between 21 and 22 each year of her tenure. DCSD’s graduation and ACT figures both outperform the state average. CDE numbers show, however, that teacher turnover under Fagen rose from 10.2 percent in 2009-10 to 19.7 percent in 2015-16. The state average is 17 percent. Search for a new superintendent The board will meet to outline a timetable and criteria to hire a replacement, Silverthorn said. No specific date has been scheduled for a meeting. An interim superintendent is expected to be named before Fagen’s departure and lead the district into the start of the upcoming school year. Silverthorn said she hopes to find someone familiar with the staff, students and the community to serve in the interim — someone “with the heart of a servant who is a leader and understands our community.” Grace Davis, a 16-year old student from Ponderosa High School in Parker, staged a protest at her school in April asking for answers about why teachers are leaving the district. Davis has accused Silverthorn and school board Vice President Judith Reynolds of trying to intimidate her into not holding the rally at the school. “The district’s main priorities when choosing a new superintendent should be their track record, goals, work ethic and how the candidate will impact the students,” Davis said. Davis questioned the board of education’s ability to choose a replacement. “How can we entrust our current board of education with the decision to select our next superintendent if the majority are

behaving in ways that are unacceptable for educators and administrators nationwide?” Davis asked. “We, as a district, need to make sure that we have a board that is truly representing our interests and desires before we jump to hire a new superintendent. The job of superintendent should not be a chess piece in a game of politics. We need to make sure the new member of the DCSD staff is for students and proactive in their work.” Former Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings, who left after the 2014-15 school year, said a new superintendent must be transparent with strategic direction and leadership decisions and be “an honest communicator who doesn’t spin the truth.” “They need to model how to use feedback for improvement,” Goings said. “They need to subject themselves to full 360 (degree) evaluations, getting feedback from a variety of stakeholders. Then, they need to make this a clear expectation for all leaders. Superintendent should be the top learner in the district and show they are always looking at ways to improve as a leader.” Parent Stacey Chamaty of Castle Rock said she believes the position of superintendent should be earned by working your way up through the ranks and by having built trust and gained the respect of your peers, staff and the community. “Wherever our new superintendent comes from, I hope that community will tell us how lucky we are and mourn the departure of someone that has made a positive impact,” Chamaty said. “I don’t want to hear alarm bells and hear people yelling, ‘Good riddance!’” Amy Devalk, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said, “I believe the new superintendent should be open-minded and flexible. They should be able to see all sides of an issue and their only agenda should be what’s best for the students and teachers of Douglas County.” Board of education member Wendy Vogel said the two most important qualities she would like to see are a heart for kids and extensive experience, both in education and leadership. And, she said, the board shouldn’t go it alone in finding Fagen’s replacement. “We absolutely must seek public input,” she said, “and it is imperative that we involve our community in the search for our new leader.”
What they are saying
“This is an exciting time for Douglas County to not only select a leader who matches the values of our community, but to re-examine and realign our district’s direction that promotes a culture where teachers, staff and students can thrive.” — David Ray, Douglas County School Board member
“I think (Superintendent Fagen) was smart to look elsewhere with the turmoil the district is in and a fragmented board and community. I believe she was a puppet of the board and, with current changes and the dysfunctional make-up of the board, can understand why she would want to leave.” — Dave Usechek, Parker resident
“ (In a new superintendent I would like) someone who actually knows and values best practices. Our professional development for the last six years have been extremely useless.” — Niki Mitchell, teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary in Highlands Ranch
“The primary focus needs to be on quality education for all students in the district. The new superintendent needs to have organizational leadership skills to implement the desired changes across the district, resulting in a positive cultural shift.” — Cindy Reagor, Highlands Ranch resident
“A firm, solid and lengthy background in education is a must — that means a minimum of 10 years in-classroom experience.” — Rachel Bunnn, Parker resident

Littleton church uses comedy to raise money for a pair of causes By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
little before 7 p.m. on a Saturday, comedian Bob Meddles takes the stage. A small church in Littleton seems like an odd place to see stand-up comedy, but Meddles, billed as The Comic Next Door, isn’t out of place in front of a few dozen audience members in pews drinking iced tea and eating cookies. “I have, believe it or not,” he answers, when asked if he’s played a church before. “It’s just a very different show.” Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren on South Windermere Street is a slightly different church. Pastor Gail Valeta’s sermon last Sunday was on “Star Wars” and Celtic theology, so a stand-up comedy show to benefit a pair of the church’s causes in Africa — Nigerians displaced by the Boko Haram terrorist group and Ethiopians without access to water — is not much of a stretch. “This is one way we thought we could help,” Valeta said of the event, Stand Up for Africa. This is the second time Prince of Peace has tried a comedy show as a benefit. In 2010, the church hosted a benefit for those affected by that year’s massive earthquake in Haiti. Comedy in a place of worship isn’t all that uncommon. Outreach Inc., a Colorado Springs-based company that books entertainment acts for churches, lists dozens of comics on its website. Marjorie Hofer of Peace Mennonite Community Church in Aurora said her church has had Christian comedy troupes put on shows in the past. She came to the show because Peace Mennonite also supports the victims of Boko Haram. For some, however, it may not line up with their perception of church. “I’m a recovering Catholic,” congregant Tom Mauser said. “You would never think of this (in a Catholic church).” As would be expected for the venue, the comedy was devoid of swear words or sexual material. The darkest subject

Photo by Kyle Harding matter Meddles touched on was a bit about assisted suicide, but he mostly stuck to self-deprecating jokes about his weight — “Don’t be fooled by the suit, there’s a whole lot of me under here” — and stories about marriage, fast food and Costco. “We made it a requirement that it be
family-friendly — which was hard to find,” Valeta said. Mauser and fellow churchgoer Paul Rohrer served as openers for Meddles, using slideshows, Russian and Italian accents and lots of puns. Stand-up continues on Page 15

Castle Rock outdoors show to feature artists Guild holds downtown event for fourth year By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Greater Castle Rock Art Guild will repeat its successful “Court the Arts Festival” for a fourth year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 11 and 12, on the lawn of the DMV Building at 301 Wilcox St. in downtown Castle Rock. (The artists coordinate with the Rotary Club’s popular Ducky Derby, which happens in the area on June 11 as well — with the duckies scheduled to race at 3 p.m.) GCRAG artists will be joined in this event by creative folks from the neighboring Parker Artists Guild and a total of about 40 are expected, according to Fritz Anders, who will exhibit his wood-burning designs, suggested by the “distinctive natural patterns” in each piece of wood. Works will be in a variety of mediums and artists will enjoy talking about their processes and products. Watercolorist Cindy Welch will exhibit her paintings of historic Castle Rock landmarks, probably including spots visible from the lawn, as well as other subjects. Dennis Guttenberger of Western Log Creations will show “rustic mountain style furnishings and accessories,” including pieces created from beetle-kill pine, with its distinctive blue markings. (He is also contact person for entries and it would appear from a look at the website that space is still available for the two-day event — gcrag.com.) Ken Smith Photography will also have
a booth. Smith has a stock of fine art prints and also works by commission. He has published a book, “Rust Buckets,” depicting old cars, trucks and accessories across the country. Sidewalk chalk art drawings will be a creative project for kids on both days.

“People want to have fun,” he said. “If you want them to contribute money toward the cause, what better way than to let them have fun?” That turned out to be the right idea. Valeta said the day before the show that she hoped to raise $750 to $1,000. Right after the show, she said it raised upward of $1,500. The night’s comedy was punctuated by information on the causes that the money went toward. Addisu Haile told the audience about the work being done in his native Ethiopia, where the KAFFA Development Association is working to bring clean water to the village of Muti. People who live there
travel long distances with pack animals to fetch water from streams. “This is just basic needs,” Haile said. “We’re not talking about anything fancy.” Haile, who left Ethiopia to attend college in the U.S. in 1978, spent six weeks working in Ethiopia last year. He said a comedy show is a great way to raise money to help the effort. “The whole point of church is to provide service,” he said. Valeta spoke to the crowd about the situation faced by Christians and Muslims in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has killed thousands, destroyed towns and kidnapped young girls. “Boko Haram may be worse than ISIS,”
Valeta said. The victims include many members of Church of the Brethren, which is her church’s denomination. Valeta said the money is going directly to volunteers on the ground, providing food, blankets and shelter. “We know the funds are not being pilfered or being squandered,” Valeta said. In addition to raising more money than Valeta expected, the show was a crowd-pleaser. “He was such a blast,” Hofer said of Meddles. Valeta also thought the show was a success. “I just laughed my head off,” she said.

The 20th annual Ducky Derby and Street Festival will be June 11 By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s that time of the year again. Soon, a plethora of plastic, yellow rubber duckies will float their way down Plum Creek, under the I-25 bridge in Castle Rock on their way to the victory line. The highly anticipated race is the main event at the 20th annual Ducky Derby and Street Festival, which will be held Saturday, June 11, at Festival Park, Second and Perry streets, running 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The derby will begin at about 3 p.m. People who have numbered tickets have a chance to win cash and prizes, depending on where the ducky with their number finishes. The two highest finishers will have a chance at winning $1 million or a new car. If those prizes are not won, the first three ticket holders will win cash, the first prize being $2,000 and second and third prizes $750 and $250 respectively. Additional prizes donated by local merchants will be awarded to people whose ticket numbers match duckies finishing in positions up to about 50 places. Winning duckies will be immediately transported back to the street festival grounds and the numbers posted. All winners will be notified by phone in the days following the event. People do not have to be present to win. Back at the street festival, there will be a variety of entertainment for youth and adults, including music, face painting, food, street vendors and a silent auction. The three Rotary clubs of Castle Rock and Castle Pines come together each year to host the event, the largest fundraiser of the year for the clubs.

iCan Bike Camp Highlands Ranch Community Association presents iCan Bike Camp, a bike-riding program for children with disabilities. Riding a bike is a seemingly impossible task that can typically be mastered in less than a week. Within days of learning to ride, many children exhibit independent behaviors for the first time. This achievement creates a gateway of opportunity, helping children gain assurance and self-reliance in many other aspects of their lives. Volunteers ages 16 and older are needed. Camp runs from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19 at the Eastridge Recreation Center. Sessions are offered from 8:15-9:30 a.m., 9:50-11:05 a.m., 11:25 a.m. to 12:40 p.m., 1:45-3 p.m., 3:20-4:35 p.m. Go to www.hrcaonline.org/tr.

Saving the best for last Chaparral senior wins state discus title on final throw By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral senior Jacob Condill was frustrated by how he was throwing the discus late in the season and during the Class 5A state track championships at the Jefferson County Stadium on May 19. He finally stopped thinking, just in time. Condill unleashed a 157-03 throw on his final attempt during the finals and won the 5A discus championship. Condill was ranked, according to compiled distances by Milesplit.com, as the top 5A discus thrower in the state for most of the season until the final few weeks, when Pine Creek’s Jackson Wibbels recorded a better throw. It was Condill, who was seventh at state last season, who threw better on his final throw to beat Wibbels by 4.5 feet to win the state title. “I went into finals in eighth place,” said Condill. “My first throw was short and my second throw was deep but it
was out of bounds. On my final throw I just decided to put it all out there. I really whipped it and it was a very nice throw. “I was really nervous going into the final throw. The week before and that week I had not been throwing well. I was surprised. I had kind of lost a lot of my technique. I was frustrated going into my last throw. I was immensely satisfied with what I threw.” Chaparral coach Dan Davies wasn’t startled by Condill’s state championship throw. “He’s been working hard for the past three years,” said Davies. “He just gradually got better, better and better. At the start of the state meet nobody was really throwing very well. He really didn’t pop one off until his very last throw. It was pretty cool.” Condill, who will be attending Colorado Mesa next fall and plans to contact the track coach when he arrives, admits he let too many thoughts slip into his head late in the season. “I’m not sure why but I wasn’t throwing smoothly at the state championships and the league meet the week before,” he said. “Throughout the season I had been throwing pretty consistently at 150. I started throw-

ing 120s and 130s and I really wasn’t satisfied. “Definitely on that last throw there was no technique. It was very much just getting it out there. For the most part of this season and through my career I had been pretty good at staying out of my head. I definitely had times where I was throwing poorly and ever poorer because I was over-thinking. The last two weeks of this season I definitely was in my head trying to do too much, I guess. I just forget to go out and throw it.”

It’s time to rewind some of the highlights from the 2015-16 high school sports seasons. Like many highlight reels, it’s possible some of the best performances and efforts might have been trimmed or overlooked, so consider this a sampling: • Pomona defeated top-ranked Valor Christian, 28-14, in the Panthers’ first game of the 2015 football season. Later, the teams would clash again, this time in the Class 5A state championship game. Valor scored 15 unanswered points and used a key Panthers’ fumble late in the game to notch a 2826 victory. • Westminster’s football team opened eyes by winning its first nine Jim Benton games before a loss OVERTIME in the first round of the playoffs. • Holy Family senior quarterback Chris Helbig had people in the Colorado High School Activities Association office scanning state record books. He passed for a record 607 yards in the season-opener and had 3,517 yards passing and 39 touchdowns before a knee injury ended his season after nine games. • Valor Christian won its second straight Class 4A softball championship by breaking up a no-hitter in the semifinals and another in the final. • Mountain Vista’s boys soccer team, seeded 28th in the 5A playoffs, made a remarkable run by upsetting teams ranked 12th, fourth and first but lost 2-1 in overtime to No. 2 seed Broomfield in the state finals. • In the seen-it-before category, Valor won its fourth straight 4A boys golf title, Cherry Creek’s boys captured their fourth consecutive tennis title and 41st in the past 44 years, and Mountain Vista’s boys won their fourth cross country championship in a row. SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler won his second consecutive 3A boys cross country crown. • And, for those who love replays, girl swimmers Brooke Stenstrom of Valor Christian and Abby Kochevar of Rock Canyon were worth watching. Stenstrom won three 4A state titles last fall at the state meet and set a state record. She leaves Valor with five state championship ribbons. Kochevar won two state titles, including her third straight in the 100 backstroke. • Valor Christian won its second 4A girls state basketball title and ThunderRidge defeated a Highlands Ranch team that seemed unbeatable, 47-32 in the 5A championship game. The Falcons had overcome a 13-point halftime deficit to down the Grizzlies, 46-37, in a Continental League regular-season game, but ThunderRidge dominated the rematch to end the season. • Ponderosa freshman Cohlton Schultz completed an undefeated wrestling season with first-period pins to win the 220-pound Class 5A state championship. • Pomona’s boys won the Class 5A state track title to join the wrestling and girls gymnastics teams as state champions. • Lutheran’s boys, led by Kent Harris, captured the school’s third straight state track and field title, one in 2A and the past two in 3A. Cherry Creek’s girls tennis team made news by finishing second in the state championships at the Gates Tennis Center. It was the first time in 19 years that the Bruins were not the firstplace team.

Valor wins first baseball title Eagles down Pueblo West twice to capture state championship By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Valor took home its first baseball championship trophy by staging a storybook comeback to outscore Pueblo West 9-6 in the May 29 Class 4A state title game at All Star Park in Lakewood. “This was the matchup of the two best teams in 4A,” Valor coach Keith Wahl said after the championship game. “Pueblo West is a great baseball team and they deserve a ton of credit. They will keep knocking on the door and they will keep at it until they win a championship. This is a great win for our team and our school.” Rain pushed the playoffs back so the double-elimination state championship playoffs were decided May 28 and 29. Valor edged Erie 5-3 to advance to the May 29 edition of the playoffs, while Pueblo West remained undefeated by beating Windsor. So the Cyclones came into the May 29 championship round undefeated to face Valor, a team the Cyclones beat in the May 21 quarterfinals. On May 29, Valor won the first game 7-1. The Eagles’ win forced the second half of the doubleheader to decide the state champions. In the title game, the Cyclones got the bats going and went up 3-0 in the home half of the first inning. They added a run to their lead in the home half of the third inning. Valor’s bats came alive in the

Photo by Tom Munds top of the fourth. With two outs, the Eagles used a walk and six singles to score four runs to tie the score. The Cyclones went ahead 5-4 in the home half of the fifth but Valor countered with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth to take the lead for good. Levi Walter collected three hits and drove in three runs for the Eagles. Sean Rooney and Patrick Morton had a pair of hits each while Noah Kuzma, Luke Bozarth and Joel Pierce each had one hit and each of the five players drove in a run. Playing three games in two days tested the depth of the Eagles’ pitching staff. Valor advanced to the championship phase of the tournament with a 5-3 win over Erie on May 28. Luke Zigler pitched six innings, gave up three hits and no earned
runs, walked five and struck out five. Nyk Crumrine pitched one inning to close out the win. David Heller got the start for Valor in the first game against the Cyclones. The freshman struck out the side in the first inning and went on to pitch six innings as he gave up four hits, one run, walked three and struck out five. Sean Morton pitches the final inning to secure the win for the Eagles. Valor starting pitcher Luke McNary was on the mound for four innings. He gave up eight hits, four earned runs and struck out six. Crumrine pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up one hit and one run. Morton pitched the final 2 1/3 innings and gave up three hits and no earned runs. “The new pitch-count rule worked into our planning a lot,”
Wahl said after the championship game. “Crumrine pitched for us Saturday and we knew he could only throw so many pitches today. Then we called on Sean Morton and he really came through for us. If you told me Sean would close out the state championship game I would said that would be unbelievable.” Morton said he got very excited when the coach called on him to pitch in the championship game. “I felt the coach called on me to get the job done and close out the game, and that is what I did,” the senior said. “I was feeling excited in that last inning. I was up and down a bit, but I knew my teammates, my brothers, were behind me to make the plays and there was no way we would lose this game.”

Same name, different sport Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner stood on the field after watching the Eagles play Lewis-Palmer in the Class 4A state championship soccer game and admitted it was not the kind of football he used to play. In other parts of the world, the soccer is called football, but Heiner played the American brand of football. He was a two-time AllNorth Central Conference linebacker at Northern Colorado and played on both of the Bears’ Division II national championship teams. He went to the Tennessee Titans’ training camp and then played in NFL Europe, the XFL and with the Colorado Crush. He was hired at Valor Christian in 2012 as director of Performance and was named AD in 2015. Jeffco names players of year The Jefferson County League named its Players of the Year for soccer. Alyssa Kaiser of Ralston Valley and Valor Christian’s Camryn Dyke were chosen Kaiser, a senior, was the 5A Player of the Year after scoring 19 goals with 18 assists for 56 points. Dyke, a junior, had 36 points on 15 goals and six assists and was honored as the 4A Player of the Year. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Cherry Creek sophomore is mentally tough Micha Handler honored as Girls Tennis Player of the Year By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek sophomore Micha Handler stood at the back fence, her back turned away from court in order to focus during the first set of the No. 2 singles final of the Girls State Tennis Championship on May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. Handler worked on improving her mental game this season, and that helped her go undefeated in 25 matches. She won the state’s No. 2 singles championship and has been named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year. “I was just trying to take it slow,” Handler explained about the time she needed to focus during the first set. “It was very mental in the first part of the set and I was just trying to slow up.” Handler beat Poudre’s Alessia Pabiano, 6-1, 6-1 to finish the season without losing a set including in the regionals, state tournament and a Chattanooga, Tennessee, college-format tournament. “I didn’t lose a set this season but I had some

close matches,” she said noting that a 6-4, 6-4 win over Air Academy’s Cori Campbell in the Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was her toughest of the season. “The match at the Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was 4 and 4. It was windy and we had some real long points but I pulled it out.” Handler, who played No. 1 doubles for the Bruins last season and was third in the state meet, was mentally ready for this season. “I improved not only my game but mentally,” said Handler. “The team has helped me. It’s so fun having everybody cheering for each other. That’s so different from last year. Our team feels stronger even though we didn’t win the state championship. “The mental part is really important, especially being a singles player, because it is all on yourself. I played doubles last year and sometimes you can rely on your partner. For singles it’s all you. Luckily this season I was pretty strong mentally. If I wasn’t as strong mentally I don’t think I would have won.” Creek coach Chris Jacob points toward Handler’s work ethic as part of the reason for her success.

point. She’s going to get her racket on everything. “Then, she’s going to make things happen too. She can dictate the point really well. She hits with a lot of pace and figures a shot ahead and makes sure she is in charge of the point.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 30, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans. You could find a good reason to make a change at this time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Just when you thought you had everything planned to the smallest detail, you get some news that could unsettle things. But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due. Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder. You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down. BORN THIS WEEK: You keep an open mind on most matters, making you the confidante of choice for people who need your honest counsel. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
