‘She’s got a great future ahead of her’ Foundation extends annual scholarship for local student whose father died of cancer
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mallory Pridemore and her father, Darrell, had an agreement to pay for her college tuition. “My dad and I’s deal was 50/50. I would pay for 50 and he would pay for 50,” Pridemore said. “Now that he’s not doing that, I (had) to figure out how I was going to pay for it all by myself.” Darrell Pridemore, a well-known member of the Parker community and co-owner of Pride Auto Care, died July 22 after a seven-year fight with cancer. Pride Auto opened its first store in Parker in 2008 and immediately began supporting local charities. Pridemore didn’t know at the time that one of his beneficiaries, the Debbie Jackson Memorial Scholarship Foundation, would one day return his generosity, and then some. The foundation provides scholarships annually to four Douglas County students who have faced adversity and might otherwise be unable to go to college. Each year it hosts a golf tournament to raise money and present the awards. This year’s event, held at the Black Bear Golf Club on July 26, saw students receive a $4,000 award. But Mallory Pridemore’s award stood out. The foundation board, aware of Mallory’s situation and impressed by her essay detailing the experience of helping care for her father, decided to extend her scholarship for a total of four years and $16,000.
Although the Douglas County School District’s new interim superintendent stated a top priority will be to restore trust among staff and the community, two parent advocacy organizations expressed disappointment about her lack of classroom and educational experience. “I believe we can come together and move forward for students staff and Kane community,” said Erin Kane, an engineer and executive director of American Academy charter K-8 school, which has two locations, in Castle Pines and Parker. “Sometimes, one cannot just sit on the sidelines waiting for someone else to solve problems and show leadership.” Kane was selected as the lone finalist from two candidates and approved by a 4-3 vote of the Douglas County school board at a special meeting Aug. 2. The other candidate was James Calhoun, who retired as principal of Castle View High School in Castle Rock at the end of the 2015-16 school year. Board members said they wanted to have an interim leader in place by the start of the school year, which begins Aug. 8. But the search for a permanent replacement could last several more months. Kane steps into the role vacated by Elizabeth Fagen, who left in July to take the superintendent position in Humble, Texas, a district of 39,000 students outside Houston. Douglas County Parents and Voices for Public Education, both parent organizations long critical of the district leadership and policies, said they were disappointed by Kane’s selection.

Mallory Pridemore and her uncle, Al Pridemore, share family time recently at Pride Auto Care on Dransfeldt Road. The Pridemores delayed the funeral for Darrell Pridemore, Mallory’s father and Al’s brother, so the Debbie Jackson Memorial Scholarship Foundation could hold its annual golf tournament fundraiser. Photo by Tom Skelley “I was so shocked when it happened. I was already pretty emotional because my dad wasn’t there and golfing was always our favorite thing to do,” she said. “I have some other scholarships, but $16,000 is insane.” Scott Jackson took over leadership of the foundation from his parents in 2002. Debbie Jackson, Scott’s sister, had tried many times to attend college, but each time she enrolled her cancer returned and she had to drop out. After her death, the Jackson family wanted to give others the opportunity Debbie never had. “Being able to do that for Mallory
kind of really summed up our foundation,” Jackson said. The organization has given scholarships to students who have faced bullying, abuse and other problems, but “this one hit home,” Jackson said. “It’s always been my goal to eventually give full-ride scholarships to some of these kids,” he said. “Obviously the $4,000 isn’t going to cover all of her expenses, but it’s enough that it guarantees she’ll go to school for four years.” Some people ask how he can be sure Future continues on Page 17

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
TRISTAN MCKENZIE
Studying in Wyoming, engineering in Kenya
Engineering abroad I graduated from Chaparral in 2013, and I’m currently enrolled at the University of Wyoming, where I’ve been a member of Engineers Without Borders for three years. I became involved with them as a freshman because I was looking for interesting clubs and student organizations to join, and after going to their first meeting of the semester, I decided that this was a group that I wanted to be a part of. We have spent three years preparing this trip, starting with community outreach and two assessment trips in 2014 and 2015 to meet the community and collect data. Last year we designed the building, a dormitory to house 60 at-risk students and four caretakers. I have been a part of other nonprofit and charity work through the Boy Scouts and church, but nothing on this scale. Eye-opening experience The best part of living in Kenya while we build this dormitory is being able to truly be immersed in the culture and lifestyle
here, and being able to gain a really indepth understanding of the community and the struggles they face every day. Being from Parker, which is a pretty affluent city in a very affluent country, the hardest thing to appreciate about Kenya is the staggering poverty here, and the daily struggle these people face just to survive. It’s one thing to see it on the news or read about it, but being here and seeing it in person really puts into perspective the problems we face back in America. Taking a break No matter where I am, I have the most fun when I’m outdoors. While at school, any time I’m not studying or working, I like to go camping, climbing, mountain biking or skiing. When I’m in Parker visiting my family we go backpacking, hiking in Castlewood Canyon, or climb a Fourteener. Here in Kenya, we don’t have much free time, but on our days off we have gone fishing on Lake Victoria, and we also went on a safari in Massai Mara, the Kenyan half of the Serengeti, with some of our local friends. Next steps I have two years left to finish my bachelor’s in chemical engineering, which gives me about two more years to figure out what I want to do career-wise. Right now, I don’t really know. I do know that I would like to travel and see the world for myself, and perhaps live and work in other countries, so whatever job allows me to do that is where I would like to end up.

Construction flags misplaced, but residents shouldn’t worry Small concrete repairs began last month on curbs, sidewalks and gutters throughout Parker. Underground utility locations were requested to be marked prior to excavation within the limits of public rights-of-way, but a miscommunication between the town’s contractor and locating service caused some flags and paint to be placed on private lots and private property. The town does not intend to perform excavations or repairs on any private property. The repairs are expected to continue through early October. On-street parking may be temporarily limited adjacent to planned repairs. 2016 Fall Citizens Academy application period now open The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office is offering a free, six-week academy to explain the intricacies of the judicial process.

DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS
Judge halts voucher program Ruling says previous order applied to all private schools, not only those affiliated with religion By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Judge Michael Martinez of the 2nd Judicial District has stopped the Douglas County School District’s school voucher program. Martinez granted the injunction filed by Taxpayers for Public Education, a group, that according to its website, is a Colorado-based, bipartisan organization made up of taxpayers and parents of children enrolled in public schools. In the Aug. 3 ruling, Martinez found that the School Choice Grant Program was fundamentally the same as its predecessor, the Choice Scholarship Program, and that it is covered by the same injunction that halted the earlier version of the program. The judge rejected the school district’s argument that the injunction against the DCSD voucher program applied only to religious schools. He held that the Colorado Supreme Court’s order “applied to all private schools.” Martinez agreed with the plaintiffs that the School Choice Grant Program is “in actuality a mere revision of the (Choice Scholarship Program).” “While we respect Judge Martinez, we disagree with his decision,” said board member Doug Benevento. Benevento said the district is exploring options for an appeal. Cindy Barnard, president of Taxpayers for Public Education, applauded the decision.
“This is a victory for public schools in Douglas County and across Colorado,” she said. “The DCSD voucher program hurts public school children because every dollar used in the voucher program is a dollar taken away from public schools.” School board members who support the voucher program could not be immediately reached for comment. The voucher dispute dates to 2011, when the school board approved the Choice Scholarship Program. Designed to accommodate 500 students, it allowed students’ parents to use state-provided, perpupil money toward tuition at private schools, including religiously affiliated institutions. Taxpayers for Public Education subsequently filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. The state’s top court in June 2015 issued a ruling saying using public funds for religious schooling was illegal. The district filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in September 2015 and is waiting to hear if the court will take the case. Benevento said the court will be ruling on another case involving the Blaine ammendment in October and he expects no decision will be made on the Douglas County case until after that ruling. In March, the school board amended the original voucher program to prohibit money from being used at religious schools and
renamed it the School Choice Grant program. And in April, three families sued for an injunction to allow the program to be used for religious institutions until the constitutionality of the voucher program was decided. They argued the exclusion of religious options from the program violates the Free Exercise, Establishment, Equal Protection and Free Speech clauses of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Due Process Clause, which guarantees the fundamental right of parents to control and direct their children’s education and upbringing. As of June 10, the deadline for applications, six students had signed up to participate. “I am saddened and disappointed that parents and students will not have this educational option available to them,” said Board Vice President Judy Reynolds. Board member David Ray said while at this point he wasn’t sure what would happen to these students, past practice has been to allow students to return to their previous school of enrollment. “While this news may be disappointing for these students, I am greatly relieved,” Ray said. “We have many pressing issues in our district, and trying to push forward a voucher program only detracts from where our energies should be placed. I hope we can put to rest the “litigation frenzy” that this has created. We desperately need to focus efforts on restoring our public school system to a state of excellence.”

‘This time, I finished the trip for both of us’
Father-daughter team splits up to complete cross-country cycling race
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Elyse Williams and her father Scott raced as a team in the Leadville Trail 100 charity bike race six years ago, she missed a time cutoff and had to drop out, leaving Scott to finish the race for both of them. Now they’re even. The pair recently participated in the Trans Am Bike Race, a grueling bike tour from Astoria, Oregon, to Yorktown, Virginia, to raise money for Ride 2 Recovery, a nonprofit that provides a variety of cycling-based support services for veterans, including building custom bikes to accommodate their injuries. Scott, his wife Carol, and their daughter, Elyse, 26, had raced in other events for the Wounded Warrior Project and other veterans groups, but this year, while surfing the internet, Ride 2 Recovery caught Scott’s attention. “I’ve always felt a little guilty that I haven’t served and I wanted to raise money for our veterans,” he said. “Cycling is kind of a selfish sport, too, when you think about it, so I thought `Why not raise some money also?’ ” The 4,400-mile trek required them to pack all of their own gear and supplies, unsupported by a team or other riders. As they set out on June 4, he feared he had gotten Elyse in over her head — she had never done such a demanding race before. It didn’t take long before Scott noticed Elyse was far ahead, and his legs were swollen. He would later learn he had edema, a condition where fluids drain to the extremities instead of hydrating the body. After 12 days, Scott hitchhiked to catch up to Elyse and told her he had to drop out. But Elyse wasn’t finished.

Scott and Elyse Williams pose in front of the Astoria Column in Oregon on June 4, the first day of the Trans Am Bike Race. Health problems forced Scott to drop out of the race in Wyoming, leaving Elyse to ride to Yorktown, Virginia, on her own.
“The fact that we were doing this to raise money definitely kept me going,” she said. Elyse said her father had to provide her with the encouragement to press on during the initial days of the tour, when the emotional toll of riding all day took hold. Before they split up, he spent his last night going over mapping techniques and giving her tips to prepare her to go it alone. “The hardest part of the whole thing was seeing my dad make the decision to quit,” she said. “Once he did, he spent the last night trying to prepare me to go solo the rest of the way. I thought that was a really selfless way for him to take that kind of a hit.”
the unusual finish line, all alone and in the dark. “There was not a single person there,” she said. “I had to set up a tripod and take a photo of myself.” After finishing the race, Elyse said she drank a beer at a local bar, the only place open at that hour, then went to a hotel to sleep, relieved that she wouldn’t have to get back on her bike the next day. Now that the race is a month in the past, she feels a sense of pride, knowing that she and Scott raised more than $2,500 for Ride 2 Recovery, and that she’s repaid her debt to him. “This time,” she said, “I finished the trip for both of us.”
With the most difficult part of the trip behind her, other challenges such as being chased by dogs and having her clothes stolen from a laundromat, didn’t seem so bad. For her parents, the most difficult part was knowing Elyse was out there alone. They tracked her progress via a cycling website every couple of hours, and she called regularly, but Scott said they were still “on pins and needles,” fearing that Elyse’s bike would break down or she might get hit by a car, common mishaps for cyclists. “But she had it down,” Scott said. “She was incredible.” On July 5, at 11 p.m., Elyse crossed

Residents of Elbert and Douglas counties listen to a presentation by developers with Craft Companies LLC during a meeting at Pinecrest Community Church concerning a proposed housing development on Aug. 1. The meeting grew heated as residents frequently expressed frustrations toward developers and each other. Photos by Tom Skelley
Craft Companies LLC principal owner Tim Craft tries to speak over two opponents of the Independence development who unexpectedly joined him on stage at Pinecrest Community Church on Aug. 1. The women objected to the format of the meeting as well as the development itself.
Tempers flare over planned housing Developers unveil preliminary proposal for Independence project By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com The staff for a new housing development rented Pinecrest Community Church in west Elbert County for a full two hours on Aug. 1, but it only took 10 minutes for the meeting to turn loud and contentious. Denver developers Craft Companies LLC presented a preliminary plan for a new, 920-home Independence development on the eastern side of the border of Douglas and Elbert counties, north of Hilltop Road. The land was approved for the Bandera development in 2009, but that project never came to be and the property has since sat unused. The meeting began with four tables spread around the church sanctuary, with representatives at each station to answer questions. But the din from more than 200 voices quickly drowned out any discourse, and attendees began shouting complaints about not getting answers to their questions and whether the meeting was genuinely designed for that purpose. Ten minutes into the meeting, Craft’s
principal owner, Tim Craft, took the stage to address the crowd, but he didn’t get to say much. As soon as he began speaking, two women rushed the stage and shouted over him. “How many people here are opposed to this?” shouted one, prompting many in the crowd to raise their hands. Craft changed the format to a question-and-answer session, asking residents to raise their hands to maintain order. But order proved hard to achieve as many in the audience, some against the project, some in favor, shouted over one another. “I understand that many of you here have a low opinion of developers,” Craft said. “Please bear with us.” The forum continued until 8 p.m., with Craft and his consultants addressing questions about water use, density of homes and other concerns as members of the audience interrupted them and each other. Opponents of the project called out “we don’t want you here” and other statements, while others in the crowd called for quiet. One proponent took to the stage herself to criticize the critics. “If it weren’t for developers, none of you would be here either,” she said, loudly. After the meeting, Dana Correll, who lives directly across Hilltop Road from the proposed project, offered some construc-
tive criticism. “I think it was poorly put together; you couldn’t hear what the people were saying,” said Correll, the president of the Coyote Hills HOA. But, she said, “I do think they were trying to answer the people’s questions.” Correll and her husband, Matt, have lived in Coyote Hills since 2008. They both said they felt the meeting answered many of their questions about the project, but added that they and other residents want more specific details about traffic and water impacts. Dana added that the developers will need to better understand the rural lifestyle of Elbert County residents to make inroads there. “I would also say that I feel that they maybe don’t have the best understanding of our community,” Correll said. “Elbert County is different than Denver.” Craft acknowledged there were problems with the meeting’s format, but he felt the meeting was productive nonetheless. “We were trying something new to create more open dialogue,” he said. “There were a couple of people who wanted to take control of the meeting or steer it to where they wanted to, but we’re flexible and we pivoted, and all in all I think we answered a lot of the questions.” Craft also said preserving Elbert County’s rural lifestyle is “something that we are truly taking to heart,” citing expanded
setbacks around Independence and its plan to include 430 acres of open space. He added that the development plat follows the county’s master plan, which was approved in a public process. Lisa Shipman lives on Oxford Way, directly across Hilltop Road from the project, and was on the Elbert County Planning Commission from 2004-10. She said she voted to approve the Bandera project because developers listened to the commission’s feedback and made several compromises, and said she would be a “thorn in (Craft’s) side” just as she was with Bandera’s developers. “These things are going to happen,” Shipman said. “These ranchers are going to sell their land to developers and the developers are going to develop. The best you can hope for is the best plan with the lowest impact.” Matthew Campbell moved to the Hilltop Landing subdivision from Texas in 1998. He said he wished county commissioners would have been at the meeting to provide more concrete answers for citizens, and keep it more organized. But he added that he will be at the meeting when the plan does come before the board of commissioners. “We wanted to raise our kids in a rural community,” he said. “That’s going away … They’re just bringing the city to us.”
Area officials aim to impact state marijuana laws A committee is studying the cost-benefit of legalized marijuana By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Counties throughout Colorado, especially those that have banned commercial marijuana, are facing challenges when in comes to regulating and identifying legal and “gray-market” marijuana grow houses. Loopholes in the amendments that legalized medical and recreational marijuana are drawing increased attention and manpower from local law enforcement and code enforcement, while public safety concerns are on the rise, officials say. Leaders in Douglas County are hoping to make changes to state law by presenting a picture of the challenges legal marijuana cultivation poses in the county. A study committee focusing on the cost-benefit analysis of legalized marijuana in Colorado was formed this summer and met for the first time July 20. At that meeting, state Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, mentioned large private marijuana grows are causing problems in Douglas County. To give a better understanding of the situation, Douglas County officials will give a presentation at the next meet-
ing, Aug. 17. Douglas County officials’ complaints are not unique, said Eric Bergman, policy director at Colorado Counties Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps counties work together on issues. “It’s the story for the vast number of counties that are out there,” Bergman said, adding that two-thirds of the counties in Colorado have banned commercial marijuana. “But we’re still seeing a proliferation of illegal grow operations.” But with the passing of amendments 20 and 64 — which legalized medical and recreational marijuana in Colorado, respectively — finding illegal grow operations is not black and white. State medical marijuana laws laid out in 2000 allow a caregiver to grow up to 99 plants, depending on the number of patients and physician prescriptions. In 2012, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana for recreational use and home-growing for adults 21 years of age and older. It allows an individual to grow six marijuana plants at a time in his or her home for personal use. That’s where Bergman said the “gray market” — in which caregivers grow some plants legally but also grow extra to be sold illegally — comes into play. Bergman said he has seen instances of bogus, outdated or photocopied medical marijuana paperwork that law enforcement has no way of checking.
“I’ve had instances where a caregiver made copies of the paperwork and had four houses going,” Bergman said. “It’s the same caregiver and he is growing legitimate plants in one of those houses. But these other houses, he’s using the same paperwork and that’s all going out the back door.” An instance like this makes the job of his officers more difficult, said Chief Deputy Steve Johnson, of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s only a matter of time before we see that all of these loopholes and the wide berth 20 and 64 have given with no checks and balances presents problems to public safety,” Johnson said. In Douglas County, the sheriff’s office has gotten tips of 49 grow operations this year. Of those, 20 have been confirmed in the first five months of the year, the vast majority presenting the proper paperwork for the cultivation of medical marijuana. “Douglas County is a wealthy community,” said Lt. Tommy Barella, of the sheriff’s office. “It has large houses where you can grow a lot of marijuana.” This is a challenge for law enforcement, which has no database to double check caregiver information. Although caregivers are required to register with the state, Bergman said only 10 percent do. That will change next year, when Senate Bill 14 goes into effect, which will require all caregivers to register
with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Under the new bill, law enforcement will also have access to the registry to check the legitimacy of caregivers. The bill also puts a cap of five patients per caregiver and six plants per patient, with the ability to apply for an exception. But that waiver would be a moot point if it’s in a city or county that has laws such as the 12-plant-per-residence limit that Douglas County commissioners gave final approval to Aug. 9. “It’s more about the illegal operations and for people to know what they can and cannot do in our community,” said Dave Weaver, chairman of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. “It’s growing leaps and bounds and it’s really getting out of control. We need to get this somewhat regulated. We hear from officers that they have a hands-off approach because they can’t do anything. Legislature is thinking we have all these enforcement powers that we don’t.” Currently, many local jurisdictions rely on zoning laws to regulate home-cultivation operations to make up for the lack of law enforcement authority, said Weaver, the former sheriff of Douglas County. The concerns of officials from Douglas County and other area jurisdictions will be heard by the study committee later this month with the intent to draft bills for future marijuana legislation this fall.

Stretching across town Physical therapy clinic moves from Cottonwood to Plaza Drive By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Select Physical Therapy recently pulled up stakes and moved from the Cottonwood area to the heart of Parker, hoping to apply the staff’s healing hands to a larger client base in a bigger, more modern facility. “We had outgrown the clinic we were in, and we were ready to be closer into Parker proper,” said Cindi Mikell McCord, business development manager for Select. “We have a bigger clinic, it’s newer and we have more access to the community that lives in Parker. Before we were more on the outskirts.” The clinic opened in 2004 in the shopping center on Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive and moved to a new office at 10470 S. Progress Way on June 20. Select provides services by referral and for self-pay clients, offering treatments ranging from rehabilitative therapy to treatments specific to women, such as programs to help with difficult pregnancies and postpartum incontinence. Some clients visit weekly, while others who live in rural areas come in once to learn exercise programs they can perform independently. Cyndie Fitzgerald, a physical therapist for 24 years, says the methods at Select are tailored to their clients’ needs. As such, the therapists use a lot of Pilates, a less-intense therapy for many of the clinic’s senior clients.
Fitzgerald is also trained in a relatively new treatment that can make a few clients squeamish: dry needling. The process involves the insertion of tiny, sterile needles into trigger points, sensitive areas in muscles that respond to stimulation. “It’s become very popular within the last 10 years,” Fitzgerald said. “If someone has a lot of spasming in their back, let’s say they just had surgery, we’ll do dry needling, and that releases the spasms, and it allows their tissues and their muscles to go back to normal.” Fitzgerald says the technique is different from acupuncture because it was developed by Western physicians to specifically treat muscle problems, whereas acupuncture was created by Chinese medicine to relieve a wide variety of health issues. Fitzgerald says she always encourages them to look the procedure up on Google if they have any anxiety about it. “Some people are very receptive to the idea,” she said. But “there’s always that person who says ‘Oh god, no, needles freak me out,’ so we move on and find another treatment that will work for them.” Adam Cleveland, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, in his knee playing volleyball, hasn’t received dry needling, but he said the treatments he has received during his six-month rehabilitation are working just fine. “They’re very motivated to get me back to where I was,” before surgery, Cleveland, an Englewood resident said. “That is the single greatest thing about being here… There’s just a really good feeling when I come.”

VOICES
LOCAL
Aim for perfection with accurate reflection Growing up near the beach I spent lots of time at the local boardwalk. Memories of the arcades, rides, games, pizza, ice cream and candy apples still bring me back to a very special place and time in my life. And one of my favorite things to do was to watch myself and others pose in front of one of the carnival mirrors or funhouse mirrors. You know the kind I am talking about, right? Those mirrors that distort the image or reflection of ourselves as we walk by. There are even apps we can get now that take distorting our images on our phones or devices to a whole new level. We look at our reflections and we may see ourselves as short or tall, fat or skinny, stretched or compressed. Sometimes we just see our faces become distorted or twisted as we try and make a really funny face or scary face. So what happens when it’s not a funhouse mirror or distorting mirror? What happens when we look at the reflection of ourselves through a regular mirror? Do we look with optimism as we believe we can see where we have shed a few pounds or where we are admiring our newest haircut? Or do we look at our reflection as if we were looking through a distorted view of ourselves and pick apart the things we don’t like about the way we look? Some people just can’t help themselves, they look at their reflection in any window, mirror, or anything where their reflection can be seen. Anything that reflects our physical attributes in an accurate and undistorted way is great. It’s fantastic for people who use that reflection to continue to improve themselves
through workouts and diet. It’s also wonderful for people who use that reflection to motivate themselves to start taking better care of themselves, even if it is a little bit at a time. What mirrors have a hard time doing is reflecting the person who is standing in front Michael Norton of the mirror. And by person I mean the valWINNING ues and beliefs of the WORDS person. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a mirror that could reflect when we were living with love, integrity, kindness and forgiveness? And conversely, wouldn’t it be awesome if the mirror showed us a reflection of ourselves when we were jealous, angry, bitter, resentful and just being a jerk? Depending on our frame of mind and what we know about the way we are living, we could possibly see the good and positive traits as we look at our reflection. Knowing we have done something special in our lives or for someone else. And maybe we know, as we see ourselves in the mirror, that we are proud of our attitude and integrity. Yet other times, I think we are hoping we can find one of those funhouse mirrors or distorting mirrors. We don’t want to see who we really are and we will take any new image that the funhouse mirror will display when we are acting out in jeal-
ousy, anger, bitterness, resentfulness, and just being a jerk. Here’s the good news. Funhouse mirrors and distorting mirrors are fun for sure, but we do not need them to help us to see a different person, the person who we are on the inside. They may help us fake it for a while as we fool ourselves. But sooner or later the real “us” will become very evident again and we will show our true colors. The good news is that we are the ones in control of who we are, no one else. If we see something or someone in the mirror that we are not pleased with, we have the ability to change who we are, what we are, and where we are going. We can achieve this through working out, getting more in touch with our faith, reading positive books and success stories, giving up bad and old habits, and we can also enlist the help of counselors, coaches, pastors and friends if necessary. The point is we are in control. When was the last time you really took a good hard look in the mirror? Are you happy and content, or do you see changes that you would like to make either physically, personally or professionally? Either way I would love to hear all about what you see in the mirror at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we look past the funhouse and distorted mirrors to see who we are, it really will be a better than good week. 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.
Great elevator pitch comes with hidden benefits Do you have an elevator pitch? Is it any good? Do people want to engage you afterward to learn more? If you can’t answer yes to these three questions then read on. With the increasing popularity of leads groups and Glenn Bott meetups, having an elevator pitch is GUEST essential to growing your business. While COLUMN we all know this, most only spend a few minutes putting one together. Or worse yet, they wing it and their message changes from day to day and meeting to meeting. Without realizing it, they’re shooting themselves in the foot. People are always watching and judging and give a great deal of emphasis to authenticity and consistency. Your job is to give them some great material to remember you by. Besides a business overview, an elevator pitch is also essential for your personal development. Crafting a great pitch helps you define who you are and what you’re about. It gives you a story to tell yourself throughout the day to help maintain focus on your vision. The elevator pitch began as a way to give a stranger an overview in a concise manner. Typically something in the 30 second range — about the time it would take to ride an elevator a few floors before leaving. By having a great elevator pitch you not only convey what you do in broad terms, but you do so in a memorable way that entices the other person to learn more. You have a great elevator pitch when people adjust their ride to spend more time learning about you and your business. The business benefits are to communicate to others the necessary who, what, how and, sometimes, the why of what you do. Bott continues on Page 11

Negativity may be just the thing for inspiration I apologized to a magazine. Kelly Ripa was staring at me at the checkout. If Kelly is downcast, then I am downcast. She always starts my day with a smile. She’s effervescent and peculiarly positive. She was miffed about what the producers of her program did to her. What’s the show called? I said a silent, “I’m sorry” to the magazine cover. Walking past the newspapers, I saw a headline about the Olympics — doping, corruption and scandals. Come on. What’s this whole world coming to? Cheating at the Olympics? Never. The Olympics are just about all that’s left in a world gone mad. The games are a Fort Knox of integrity and sanctity. Countries come together every four years to remind us just how good we can be. I wouldn’t know what to think if the Olympics were tainted too. Well. I guess there was that USA-Russia men’s basketball game. Ben Johnson? A few boxing matches and gymnastics events that might have been misjudged. Tommie Lee Smith and John Carlos. I haven’t forgotten — and I never will —
the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Actually, the Olympics have been messed up since Day One. Athletes have refused their medals. Judges have been banned for life. Craig Marshall Smith A Brazilian runner was leading the QUIET men’s marathon DESPERATION when a defrocked Irish priest attacked him and dragged him into the crowd. Ask me why I don’t watch the Olympics? The 2016 Olympics should be a doozy. I am crossing my fingers that everyone — athletes, coaches, fans — returns home in one piece. Without harm or a mosquito-borne virus. Great choice: Rio, Brazil. The year is past its midpoint, and it looks like it’s going to be exceptionally memorable Smith continues on Page 11

“We were hoping for an interim superintendent with years of classroom and administrative experience, as well as a history of putting children first,” Jason Virdin, spokesman for Douglas County Parents, said in an email. “Dr. Calhoun fit that description well and hiring him would have been a meaningful step toward unifying a divided community.” Kane, a Colorado native with an engineering degree in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Colorado, helped found American Academy. Executive director since 2013, she pointed to her leadership of the school’s community in her bid to win the job. “I have worked through numerous student, staff and parent issues and agonized over the well-being of my growing school community,” Kane told the board at the Aug. 2 meeting. According to state statute, the school board is expected to reconvene Aug. 16 to officially appoint Kane as interim superintendent. A district spokeswoman referred inquiries about her salary to board President Meghann Silverthorn, who could not be immediately reached. Fagen was earning $273,715 when she left. At the Aug. 2 meeting, Kane outlined her top three priorities to the board. “Based on my conversations with many

from here on out. It’s an election year, isn’t it? You know what I am going to miss? I am going to miss Michelle Obama. I think she has been a great ambassador of the United States, and she is great ambassador of motherhood. Not everyone agrees. Cartoonist Ben Garrison, for one. Garrison’s heinous “Make the First Lady Great Again” cartoon reminded me that drawing skills and stupidity are sometimes aligned. The good news is. The good news is what? I take it wherever I can get it. It’s all over the place, it’s just not headline news. For example, someone thinks that I want to know exactly why Prince died. I don’t. If I were his brother, I would. If I were in the opioids community — prescribers, users, abusers — I would.

The personal benefits include better focus and increased personal power. Focus — when crafting a great elevator pitch it helps you precisely define the essence of what you do. As you craft your pitch you will zero in on your true business. This may take time and numerous iterations. Write it, let it sit overnight, and then revisit it the next day. Continue until you’re satisfied. Make this a living document and revise it as needed. Engaging — after your essence is defined, deliver it in a way that is engaging and memorable. Make your pitch personal, powerful and unique. Let it roll off your tongue smoothly and with confidence. If your elevator pitch sounds like everyone else’s, then it’s time to go back to the drawing board and start over. You want it to reflect you, what you do and be memorable.

of you, I would suggest the following priorities: One, develop and restore trust and stability within our staff and community,” she said. “Two, evolve and simplify the measuring tool tied to pay for performance, providing maximum flexibility for school leaders. Three, maximize autonomy opportunities for schools to implement academic programming that responds to the needs of their community within the framework the board has set forth.” During his remarks to the board, Calhoun said he hoped to be a candidate for the permanent position. He touted his experience as an educator and said he would be able to “find common ground and communicate with the community.” “I have been in the district for six years, an educator for 36 years,” Calhoun said. “I think I have the skills and abilities to make a difference in this district. I understand both sides of the aisle and I think I can talk and work with both groups.” Calhoun was supported by board members David Ray, Wendy Vogel and Anne-Marie Lemieux, who voted against Kane. “Honestly, I am stunned by the decision of the senior board members,” Ray said. “I do not mean to minimize the success that Mrs. Kane has experienced from overseeing the operations and management of the American Academy School. But to place her in the district’s chief executive officer position without possessing any kind of educational license, teaching experience or degree in education is reckless and extremely disappointing.” Ray said this disappointment was further exacerbated by who was not selected.
“Dr. Calhoun has a doctorate degree in education, 36 years as a career educator, a widespread network of support amongst building and district leaders, and a desire to remain in this position for the longterm,” Ray said. Lemieux said she is hopeful Kane will be able to rebuild trust with educators and the community. “Ms. Kane shared her concerns surrounding the pay-for-performance system, and cited needed adjustments in the evaluation system to help retain and attract teachers,” Lemieux said. “I look forward to working with Ms. Kane to help make the changes she recognizes and our community clearly requests.” Vogel declined comment. Board Vice-President Judy Reynolds said Kane’s experience leading American Academy won her vote. “In her role at American Academy, she essentially acts as the superintendent of a small school district — overseeing multiple campuses, implementing budgets, hiring, building projects and dealing more directly with state and federal oversight issues,” Reynolds said in an email. “She is accustomed to dealing with big-picture issues. She has created an atmosphere of trust and support in her school community that focuses on their mission — to educate their students.” Board member Doug Benevento said Kane is a strong choice for the position and a good fit for a district that values school choice. “She already has a great job,” Benevento said. “She’s doing this because she wants to serve. I think that’s very noble.”
Kane replaces acting superintendent Steve Cook, who took over after the resignation of Fagen. Kane worked in the technology industry for 10 years, holding positions in development, project management, education, consulting and practice management. She also is an elected member of the Colorado League of Charter Schools Board of Directors. The parent groups said they were “disheartened” about her selection. “While we are certain Ms. Kane is an excellent engineer,” Virdin said in the email, “we are concerned about her ability to lead a district of 67,000 students and 7,700 employees without a significant background in education.” Voices for Public Education “believes the district needs a leader with a strong background in education who cares about students and teachers, and who will give all our schools, especially neighborhood schools, the attention they so desperately need,” an emailed statement from the group read. The teachers’ union issued a statement saying it is hopeful Kane will be a strong supporter of public education, including students with special needs. “We are also hopeful that Kane will take the opportunity to offer an independent and unbiased staff and community survey,” said Kallie Leyba, president of Douglas County Federation. “Kane enters at a time when there are many vacancies in the district’s administration. Kane has an opportunity to influence the direction of the district through her personnel choices.”
Neither is true. Wouldn’t it be much nicer to be able to check out without having to look at Prince, or Kelly, or Johnny Depp? I have written to the big chains. Their responses were cordial. Do all of these negative insertions in our day wear on us? Maybe for some they have the opposite effect, and reinforce an appreciation for the things around us that are uplifting, like being able to buy Red Vines in a fivepound lidded tub. Red Vines are manufactured in Union City, California. Union City is about 30 miles from San Francisco. I admit that I know when, where and why Hank Williams died. I took an interest because he was a fellow alcoholic. But he didn’t get the help he needed. I have. One of his songs fits my objection to checkout magazines.. “If you mind your own business, you won’t be minding mine.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net. tor pitch also helps you become aware of potential diversions you may encounter throughout the day. If someone is trying to divert your attention, mentally recite your elevator pitch to remind you of what you’re about. Ask yourself if the issue at hand fits with your vision and elevator pitch. If what you’re being asked to do doesn’t support your pitch, the answer is no. Simple —You want your message to be simple yet memorable. Keep it focused so those that hear it will remember you, what you’re about and can convey this information to those they encounter. Leave a lasting and positive impression.

For whom the bells toll Bells in Episcopal churches ring weekly to remember victims of gun violence and promote peace By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
t 1 p.m. every Wednesday, the bell in the historic chapel at Christ’s Episcopal Church in downtown Castle Rock rings 49 times — one toll in remembrance of each person killed in the Orlando, Florida, shootings on June 12. As the bells toll, pastors and community members in attendance pray not only for those killed in Orlando, but also people killed, injured and bereaved in San Bernardino, California; Aurora; Newtown, Connecticut; Dallas and countless other communities across the nation that have experienced tragic and deadly shootings. “My hope for the bell tolling is that it would bring the community to prayer and also to discernment of how we can bring peace,” said the Rev. Brian Winter of Christ’s Episcopal. “How can we be that spark of joy and peace in people’s lives?” The Castle Rock church is only one of many embracing the Tolling of the Bells project. Episcopal churches across Colorado are participating with a goal to bring change to their neighbors, community and elected representatives in the U.S. Congress by bringing continues awareness to gun voilence. Rev. Susan Springer, of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, organized the project that continues through Nov. 2. The Episcopal Church in Colorado is made up of 103 worshipping communities with approximately 30,000 members. Since the early Middle Ages, churches have rung bells to call people to prayer and a community to attention, both facets represented in the Tolling of the Bells project.
“After each mass shooting we, like many other Americans, are outraged and deeply saddened,” the project page on episcopalcolorado.org reads. “We pray. In time, the shock of the incident diminishes. The demands of our own lives intervene and draw our attention elsewhere — until the next tragic incident occurs. We find ourselves praying that each incident will be the last, and yet they continue.” For Winter, prayer is the beginning. “It has to start with prayer and hopefully prayer can change the world,” he said. “But it also changes us. It makes us more aware of who we are and what our part in all of this is.” At the same time the bells toll in Castle Rock, they are tolling at St. Philip in the Field Church in Sedalia. “There’s a solidarity in a sense of bonding,” the Rev. Janet Fullmer said of the bells ringing at the same time throughout the state. “It underscores that we’re not alone in caring and remembering and thinking and praying and trying to be agents of change.” Some churches, such as St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Littleton, don’t have bells to toll. So the congregations is raising awareness with a plywood sign in the shape of a bell, which is displayed in front of the church on Dry Creek Road. “I think everybody is heartbroken by the different violence around us, so we wanted to be part of speaking up for more descent community values,” said Rev. Michael Carney of St. Timothy’s. “We hope to remind the com-
munity that there are so many decent, caring people everywhere and that we all stand together against this terrible violence.” In Castle Rock, Winter hopes the bell from his church will be heard blocks away on Wilcox Street. And he hopes that, when townspeople hear it, they will think about how they can be God’s instruments of peace in the world today.

Artist examines ways of the West Phippen has shown works both nationally and locally
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “How and why does a horse smile? That’s what I’m after.” Colorado realist Sarah Phippen depends on accurate observation of the people and animals in her world as she portrays them in oil on linen, with traditional techniques that give her work depth and insight. She will exhibit her paintings of horses and those who work with them in “Hats and Hooves,” a one-person exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton, just in time for the city’s Western Welcome Week. It opens with a public reception on Aug. 12 and runs until Sept. 25 in the Stanton Gallery. She is the granddaughter of George Phippen, a sculptor, painter and founder of the Cowboy Artists of America, and she shares his appreciation for “the grace of horses” and for those who dedicate themselves to a Western way of life. “I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife. Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day,” she wrote.
“Hats and Hooves” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton, through Sept. 25. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. 303-794-2787. “Bliss,” for example shows a horse happily rolling on its back in the grass. Surely there’s a smile. She exhibits nationally, from Florida to California, including at the George Phippen Museum of Western Art in Prescott, Arizona, which honors her grandfather, as well as showing in the Lone Tree Art Exhibition, Art Students League of Denver and the Castle Rock Artfest locally. She has studied with Daniel Sprick in Denver, Diane Rappisi in Castle Rock, Sandra Kaplan at the Art Students League of Denver, Valorie Snyder of Littleton and has developed art enrichment programming for elementary students. She is a member of both the Arts Students League of Denver and the Colorado Farm Bureau. Her website bio closes with, “Communicating emotions is a visual language, either in painting or sculpture, requires a fluency in light, color and form, as well as patient observation … Observe and observe again and look for the reasons behind the expressions …”

the foundation’s scholarships are going to deserving students, considering board members only have an essay to go on, Jackson said. But Jackson knew firsthand everything the Pridemore family had been going through. He and Darrell bonded when Scott was diagnosed with cancer at the same time Darrell was fighting his illness. “We’ve lived this for seven years with Mallory and their family,” Jackson said. “It was kind of nice just to know that for everything she’s gone through, she’s probably just as strong, if not stronger than Darrell was. I think she’s got a great future ahead of her, and we’re glad that we get to be a part of it.” Pridemore will attend the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs this fall. She hasn’t declared a major, but her plan is to go into biomedical research. She hopes to work toward finding a cure for cancer. “I’m really over this cancer thing,” she said. Pridemore knows how excited her father was, knowing she was going to college, and she believes losing him, painful as it was, wasn’t without purpose. “I know that no matter how much I’ve been through, there’s a reason for it,” she said. “After everything I’ve been through, I’m proud of the future that I have.”

Colorado wine expert Paula Mitchell signs the latest edition of her book following her presentation at the Lone Tree Library. Her book, “Exploring Colorado Wines: A Guidebook and Journal,” is a guide to Colorado wineries, cideries and meaderies.
Author offers wine enthusiasts a grape escape Wine expert shares expertise with Lone Tree audience By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media Author and Colorado wine expert Paula Mitchell tasted wine for the first time when she was 12 years old. It was her father’s dandelion wine. “There was only one word to associate with that: yuck,” Mitchell told a group of about 80 wine enthusiasts at a presentation on Colorado wines at the Lone Tree Library on July 30. During her presentation, Mitchell shared her expertise and insights she gained from her travels to 98 percent of Colorado’s wineries and provided a brief history of wine making in Colorado,
taking the audience on a virtual tour of vineyards and wineries in the six winegrowing regions throughout the state. “Over the course of my life, I have enjoyed a lot of wine,” she said. In 2011, Mitchell decided to turn her enjoyment of wine into a study, so she began reading about wine and earned a Level Two Sommelier, a study of wines and wine and food pairings. Initially, her studies and tastings encompassed a broad range of wines from the North American West Coast to Europe, but she eventually realized that she was ignoring the wines in her own backyard, so she turned her attention to Colorado. “Colorado is a boutique winery state, which means you have to go to the wineries themselves to taste all the wines that they produce,” Mitchell said. “You can get some in liquor stores, but it is such a
small sampling.” When she initially searched for a book on Colorado wines and wineries, the only guidebook she could find was a title published in 2002 when the state was home to 33 wineries, so she decided to write her own book about Colorado vineyards, which she first published in 2012. Today, Colorado has 135 wineries, and Mitchell has published an updated, second edition of her book, “Exploring Colorado Wines: A Guidebook and Journal,” which includes directions to and details about Colorado’s wineries, cideries and meaderies. Though unwilling to offer an opinion on which Colorado wine is the best, she did identify the grapes best suited for Colorado’s climate. Rieslings, chardonnays, and Viognier grapes tend to make the best white wines, and Colorado’s best red wines come from cabernet
sauvignons, merlots, Syrah and Cabernet Franc, which is often used to smooth cabernet and merlot blends but is often bottled in Colorado as a stand-alone grape. “If we, Colorado, were to have a signature grape, it would be Cabernet Franc. Like pinot noir is to Oregon, the Cabernet Franc is to Colorado,” Mitchell said. Following her presentation, attendees were treated to a tasting of three wines produced by Purgatory Cellars Winery in Parker. Gary Tassler offered guests a sample of his winery’s Riesling, Zinfandel, and a unique Chardonnay aged in Amphora containers. The use of the clay Amphora containers to store and ferment wines dates to the sixth century B.C. and gives the wine a unique flavor that differentiates it from traditional Chardonnays.

Classic play can be doubly difficult Turning a swing of a bat into two outs is a challenge for fielders, but a gem when accomplished By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Double plays can deflate offensive momentum, but they are rare in high school softball. Most are of the line-drive variety. Turning a classic double play — shortstop to second base to first base — doesn’t happen often. It takes precise timing, good footwork and a hard-hit grounder. The distance between bases is 30 feet shorter than in baseball, adding to the difficulty of turning two. “The double play in softball is a tough turn with just 60 foot bases and so many girls having great foot speed out of the batter’s box,” Douglas County High School coach Brian Stebbins said. “So many things have to go right that it isn’t a play we see very often.” Last season in Division I college softball, UCLA was the top team in turning double plays, with 45 in 59 games for an average of 0.79 per game. No statistics were kept for high school softball, but the averages would likely also be much less than one a game. “The traditional double play at the high school level is not seen very often,” Legend coach Kristen Shirk said. “Timing is definitely a key in turning two, along with proper footwork on the bag and knowing when as a fielder it’s best if you pop your feet to throw or backhand your throw.” Valor Christian coach Dave Atencio can’t help but celebrate whenever he sees a ground ball turn into a double play by his team. “It is one of the toughest plays to execute in the game of softball because of the speed of the players today getting up the line,” he said. “Usually, you can get the lead runner at second but getting that second runner or the runner at first is by far the toughest play.
Traditional double plays in high school softball are rare, but Valor Christian second baseman Abby Zuschlag, left, and shortstop Lauren Foster completed one during the fifth inning of a 1-1 game to stall a Wheat Ridge rally in last season’s Class 4A state championship contest. Valor went on to win, 2-1, to capture its second consecutive state title. Courtesy photo Your traditional double plays are few and far between.” Valor Christian turned an important double play in the fifth inning to help the Eagles defeat Wheat Ridge, 2-1, in the 2015 Class 4A state championship game. With the score tied 1-1 in the fifth inning, Valor stalled the Farmers’ rally when shortstop Lauren Foster backhanded a hard grounder, delivering an accurate feed to second baseman Abby Zuschlag, who quickly relayed the ball to first to complete
the double play. “Yes I remember the play,” Foster said. “In the beginning of the game, I had the same ball hit to me and I booted the ball. I got the same play again and I made sure I got down on the ball and made a good flip to Abby. And Abby made an awesome throw to first. That was a huge play. It was momentum changing.” Foster, who has committed to play at the University of Wisconsin, and Zuschlag are seniors who will anchor the Eagles’ infield
again this season. “It’s good to have a good relationship with your second baseman, to have that feel with the other person, because if you don’t have that you are going to be discombobulated when you are trying to make that smooth double play,” Foster said. “In softball, it’s completely different that baseball. You have to be quicker, so if you are not smooth and fluid when making the double play you are not going to get both outs. Softball continues on Page 27
In short, putting is at a premium Long drives bring bragging rights, but a consistent stroke on the greens often wins tournaments By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com A massive drive is an excellent way to start, but those 3- to 6-foot putts often make the biggest difference in a golfer’s score on a hole. Many high school golfers are long off the tee, but most of the players at the top of tournament leader boards are also consistent on the greens with their putters. “As great as it is to hit a 325-yard drive, you have to make those 5-foot putts if you are going to play well,” said Lakewood senior Griffin Barela, who tied for fifth in last season’s Class 5A state tournament. “Making those putts is more important really. If you hit the shots and you don’t make the putts, it can really demoralize you.” Arapahoe golf coach Harry Buckner has different putting drills for his golfers, including one with a 6-foot circle around the pin. “We get on different spots on the green and try to putt three balls into that circle, which puts you within 3-feet of the hole,” he said. “The secret to not three-putting is getting that first one within 3 feet. “In both of our practices during the week, we’ll spend 80 percent of our time

from 100 yards in, chipping and putting. If you can get it up and down, that’s where you save your shots. All the shots count the same.” David Rooney, a senior golfer at Douglas County High School, agrees that three-putt greens can often be avoided with good lag putts. “With longer putts, it’s more of knowing the greens you are playing on,” he said. “Most of that just comes from an athletic feel for it. You can’t really calculate it. I don’t aim for the hole. I aim for an area around the middle of it. “Those shorter putts are tough. I have trouble with super long putts, getting it in that 5-foot range. Those short putts, I’ve been doing a good job of making a lot of those.” Confidence plays a key role in putting success. “If you’re not making the putts, especially the short ones, your confidence gets really down,” Barela said. “The rest of your game starts suffering because you put more pressure on yourself trying to hit

THE COURSE AHEAD High school boys golf teams started formal practices Aug. 8 and tournament play began Aug. 11. One-day regional golf tournaments for all classes are scheduled for Sept. 19, with the state tournaments set for Sept. 26 and 27.

it closer and closer because you are not confident you are going to make the putts like 4 to 6 feet. “For me, it’s those 5-footers that are harder because that’s the range that you expect to make them but you still have to hit a good putt with a good read. There are no gimmes, but you do expect to make them, and if you miss them you start to get a little
Douglas County senior David Rooney practices a lot of putting drills, especially on long putts, trying to lag the ball to within a few feet of the cup. Photo by Jim Benton frustrated with yourself.” And frustration builds along with the score. “You have to put it out of your head and know your stroke is still there,” Barela said. “You are going to miss putts but you can’t let that dictate the way you putt the rest of the round.”

A time and a place for team strategy Schools must rely on the pack — not just a lone wolf — to find success
THE ROAD AHEAD Official cross country practices begin Aug. 15. Regionals are set for Oct. 20-22, with the all-class state cross country meet scheduled for Oct. 29 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cross country highlights individuals, but it also is a team activity. And while not always apparent to the casual observer, there are team strategies that many coaches support and encourage. “You are only as strong as your fifth runner,” Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby said. “If you take the top four spots in a meet but your fifth, sixth or seventh runner is last, you are not going to win the team title. We push the team aspect of it more than the individual aspect.” Mountain Vista is the four-time boys Class 5A state champion. Last season, the top five scoring Golden Eagles finished fifth, sixth, eighth, 11th and 22nd. Cherry Creek’s girls were the 2015 Class 5A state runners-up, and the Bruins are one of many teams that strategically study a course and have a game plan. “We try to focus mostly on the team aspects of cross country,” Cherry Creek coach Ethan Dusto said. “We train as a team and race as a team... we have team dinners and meetings to foster a bond between our athletes.” Horizon coach TJ Ricciardi embraces the team aspect of the sport. “It’s all about the grouping of runners,” Ricciardi said. “Many of the most successful teams will have a real small one through five split, meaning that the difference between their first runner’s time and their final scoring runner’s time is a smaller margin, especially if you do not have a standout first runner. “Additionally, you want your sixth and sev-

RUNNERS TO WATCH Rock Canyon coach Dan Davies talks to potential Jaguars cross country runners before a preseason workout. While cross country is often looked at as primarily an individual sport, the team element is important, area coaches say. Photo by Jim Benton enth runners to try to displace other teams’ five scoring runners.” Building team unity is a goal for many coaches in a sport dominated by individual brilliance. “We build camaraderie with the whole team via weekly relationship building, like team dinners, ultimate Frisbee and other social events,” Ponderosa coach Katherine Dorman said. During races, teams attempt to run in packs. “We can have a pack mentality where the kids try to work together as much as they can,” Dalby said. “Sometimes we’ll ask them to stick together and find a spot in the race to make a move together and try to break away,” “One thing we like to stress is to make sure our last mile of the race is faster than everybody.
We want to make sure we’re moving faster than everybody else.” But how long should an elite runner stay with a pack of teammates and possibly jeopardize his or her chance of winning the race? “It kind of depends on how much of a standout they are,” Dusto said. “If they are close enough to the rest of my pack, I’ll usually try to get them to go out a little slow and build, trying to bring the rest along for as long as possible. If they are substantially better than the pack or don’t race well without a fast start, then sometimes they just need to go. In this case, it becomes a much more individual or competitionbased race instead of a team-based race.”

For runner, volleyball is a change of pace Sarah Yocum has been working hard to get into volleyball shape. That sounds facetious for a young lady who has been running all summer. Yocum, a senior at Faith Christian Academy in Arvada, recently finished fifth in the 400-meter hurdles at the National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California. Her preliminary time of 1 minute, 9.3 seconds was a personal best. “I was very happy with my prelim times,” Yocum said. “The heat took a little out of me and I didn’t do as well as I would have like to in the finals. I’m so happy with the way it turned out. “Right now I’m coming to end of track season. I’m starting the transition work to volleyball. During the volleyball season, I tend to bulk up and get into the heavy weight lifting. During track, I lean out.” Yocum won the Class 3A state championship in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles as a freshman. She repeated in the 300 hurdles as a sophomore and captured the state championship in both hurdle events at the 2015 state meet. She was also sec-

ond in the 200- and 400-meter dashes last spring. “I play volleyball, but track is definitely my passion,” she said. “In volleyball I just want to enjoy it and have fun with my teammates. It is definitely a secondary sport. For track, I’d like to go out and win four state titles and hopefully glorify God doing that.
Reunited in Florida Well-traveled quarterback Luke Del Rio and Florida football coach Jim McElwain finally have a chance to work together this fall. Del Rio — the son of former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator and current Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio — turned down an offer from then-Colorado State coach McElwain to attend CSU
when he graduated in 2013 from Valor Christian. McElwain reportedly said Del Rio didn’t want to play in the high altitude of Colorado. Instead, Del Rio decided to walk on at Alabama, but when that didn’t work out because of the Crimson Tide’s deep pool of quarterback talent, he went to Oregon State and played three games in 2014. He transferred to Florida, sat out the 2015 season due to transfer rules, and is now reunited with McElwain — who said goodbye to CSU after three seasons to take over the Florida program. Del Rio headed into August preseason practices at the Gainesville, Florida, school as one of the candidates to land the starting quarterback job this season. Love for softball wins out Valor Christian senior shortstop Lauren Foster is the daughter of Colorado Rockies pitching coach Steve Foster. “I never played baseball but I grew up around baseball,” said Lauren, who has committed to play softball at Wisconsin. “I would watch Little League baseball and
I wished my parents would sign me up. But I love how quick softball is. You can talk to the girls on the field — it’s not as spread out as baseball. “I love softball but I’ve also been around baseball, and the first thing I learned to throw was a baseball. I was throwing the baseball around in the back yard with my dad. I know some mechanics and a couple pitches. I can throw a couple pitches but nothing great.” Barela wins Junior Match Play title Griffin Barela, a senior at Lakewood High School, won the Colorado Junior Match Play championship Aug. 3 at Castle Pines North. Barela notched a 19-hole victory over Lakewood teammate Jack Castiglia in the semifinals and then beat Valor Christian graduate David Leede, 1-up, in the finals. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.
KEEPING UP WITH LOCAL OLYMPIANS Janine Beckie About Beckie: Canadian women’s soccer team, 2012 Valor Christian graduate, born in Highlands Ranch, Denver resident Rio update: Scored the fastest goal in Olympic history just 21 seconds into Canada’s opening Group F match Aug. 3, a 2-0 victory against Australia. Beckie, 21, scored twice in Canada’s 3-1 win over Zimbabwe on Aug. 6. Mallory Pugh About Pugh: U.S. women’s soccer team, 2016 Mountain Vista High School graduate, Highlands Ranch resident Shutterstock image
Rio update: The 18-year-old started in the first United States Group G soccer
match Aug. 3 against New Zealand but hurt her ankle early in the game and was replaced in the second half of the USA’s 2-0 victory. She didn’t play Aug. 6 when the United States edged France, 1-0. Lindsey Horan About Horan: U.S. women’s soccer team, 2012 Golden High School graduate, Golden resident Rio update: The 22-year-old started and played in the United States’ victories over New Zealand and France. Missy Franklin About Franklin: U.S. women’s swimming team, 2013 Regis Jesuit graduate, Centennial resident Rio update: Franklin, who won four goal medals in the 2012 Olympics, qualified for the 200-meter freestyle
semifinals with a 1:57.12 time in the heats the morning of Aug. 8. Her time was the 12th best but good enough to advance to one of two semifinal races scheduled for the evening of Aug. 8. However, she finished eighth in her semifinal and did not qualify for the finals. Franklin, 21, was scheduled to compete in the 200-meter backstroke Aug. 11. Ben Pinkelman About Pinkelman: U.S. men’s rugby team, 2012 Cherry Creek High School graduate, Centennial resident Rio update: At 22 years old, Pinkelman is the youngest player on the team, which began play Aug. 9 with Group A games against Argentina and Brazil.
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 8, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A more harmonious aspect favors all relationships. Family ties with mates and children are strengthened. Libra is Cupid’s choice to win the amorous Aries’ heart. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The bold Bull is ready to take on fresh challenges. Expect some opposition as you plow new ground -- but supporters will outnumber detractors. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An upcoming job change could mean uprooting your family to a fardistant location. Weigh all considerations carefully before making a decision one way or the other. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A long-standing problem is resolved by a mutually agreed upon compromise. You can now focus on getting the facts you’ll need for a decision you’ll soon be asked to make. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat needs to be wary of what appears to be a golden investment opportunity. That “sure thing” could turn out to be nothing more than a sack of Kitty Glitter. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You give of yourself generously to help others, but right now you must allow people to help you. Confide your problems to family and trusted friends. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Relationships benefit from a strong harmonious aspect. Things go more smoothly at work. Someone you thought you’d never see again asks for a reconciliation.

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!
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A minor distraction interferes with travel plans, but the delay is temporary. Meanwhile, expect to play peacemaker once again for feuding family members. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Keep that positive momentum going on the home front. Arrange your schedule to spend more time with your family. You’ll soon have news about that job change.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Control that possessive tendency that sometimes goads you into an unnecessary display of jealousy. You could be creating problems where none currently exist. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new project holds some challenges you hadn’t expected. But don’t be discouraged; you’ll find you’re more prepared to deal with them than you realized. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Yours is the sign of the celestial Chemist, so don’t be surprised if you experience a pleasant “chemistry” betwixt yourself and that new Leo in your life. BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy being fussed over, as befits your “royal” Leonine nature. You also have a strong loyalty to family and friends. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
