Dry cleaner held up at gunpoint Burglar walks away with undisclosed amount of cash By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A woman who works at a local dry cleaners remains fearful even though Littleton police have arrested a man they suspect held her up at gunpoint on May 2. “I’ve heard about this happening to so many other people on the news, but never, ever in my life did I think it could happen to me,” said Sandhya Lama, who moved
to Denver from Nepal six years ago. “We don’t really have cash, we don’t have much money. This is not a gas station. I’m traumatized. I’m so scared to be alone.” Lama says she had stepped away from the Collins counter at about 9:30 a.m. when a man snuck into the store, New Look Cleaners at 1621 S. Canal Circle, just southwest of Mineral Avenue and SouthPark Lane. He aggressively approached her with his face mostly covered, wearing a hoodie and pajama pants, she said. He then brandished a pistol and demanded what little
money there was in the cash register. His hands shook as she handed it all to him, she said, and he smelled of marijuana. He then told her to lie down behind the counter, and took off on foot. “I was so scared at that time,” said Lama. “My assumption was that he might still be here. I was worried he would shoot me.” After she finally got the nerve to stand up, she called her boss and 911. Lama had seen a man loitering around the strip mall earlier that morning, as had employees at the State Farm office next door to her. She thinks she was targeted because she tends to open earlier than the surrounding stores. Cameras at a nearby gas station and restaurant got decent images of the man, and
police distributed them throughout the neighborhood. A tip from that effort led officers to Nicholas J. Collins, 41, who lives in an apartment complex about one-tenth of a mile from the store. The LPD SWAT team arrested Collins without incident at his residence. He is being held at the Arapahoe County Jail on charges of aggravated robbery, a class three felony. As of May 16, he had not posted the $50,000 bond. His next court date is May 20 at 9:30 a.m. Lama herself feels imprisoned by fear now, locking herself in the store when she’s alone and constantly fearing for her safety. “After I talked to my husband, I cried a lot,” she said. “I’ve been having bad dreams since then.”

Council kicks off summer meetings Meet, Greet and Eat offers pizza, helpful information By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dozens of Sterne Park neighbors visited the park May 16 for Littleton City Council’s first community meeting of the summer, part of the Meet, Greet
and Eat series. There they enjoy free pizza and ice cream sandwiches while perusing information on many of the city’s offerings, including the Neighborhood Partnership Program, the Coalition for Aging Well and the Transportation Committee, all relatively new programs. The police were showing off their new Polaris Ranger, which will be used to patrol trails, and firefighters were there to offer kids a glimpse into their vehi-
cles and to talk about fire safety. Staff from the city’s community-development department offered folks the chance to weigh in on the future of Littleton, and will funnel those thoughts into the ongoing update of the comprehensive plan. And Jim Taylor, president of the city’s revamped urban-renewal authority, was on hand to answer questions about potential redevelopment projects. Kids enjoyed blowing bubbles thanks to Western Welcome
Week, as well as volleyball and the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Kids Fit Fun Van. Four more such events will be held over the coming months, all from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday: June 24 is at Steeplechase III Condominiums Pool, July 22 is at Harlow Park Pool, Aug. 26 is at TrailMark Park, and Sept. 30 is at Littleton Center. For more information, visit www.littletongov.org.
Local events marking Memorial Day include the May 24 parade in downtown Denver, two ceremonies in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery. The tradition that established the Memorial Day events calls for honoring “all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guard the gates of freedom worldwide.” Denver’s annual Memorial Day parade traditionally includes marching units from the military services and floats that often include groups of veterans. The parade steps off at 9 a.m. and winds through the downtown area. On May 26, Littleton’s first Memorial Day ceremony of the day starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans Circle located in the Littleton Cemetery at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program, with the El Jebel Pipe Band playing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard firing the traditional 21-gun salute. The ceremonies will include reading of the poem “In Flanders Field” and the poem “My Plea,” written by Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. There will also be a reading of a poem written by fallen Navy SEAL Danny Dietz.

70 years later, vet receives his medals Littleton VFW post helps 99-year-old man
ALFRED PADILLA’S MEDALS The seven medals Alfred Padilla was presented with are: European-African-Middle Eastern campaign medal with one silver service star Good Conduct Medal American Defense Service Medal World War II Victory Medal Honorable Service Lapel Button WWII Expert Badge with Carbine Bar with Machine Gun Bar Marksman Badge with Rifle Bar
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When his country called, Alfred Padilla served proudly and well, earning five battle stars and seven medals. Nearly 70 years later, the medals are finally on his chest. “Of all my war experiences, this one right here is the best, most unexpected one,” the World War II veteran said on May 15, just after a ceremony in his honor at the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4666. Padilla, who turns 99 on May 24, never joined the VFW until just a few weeks ago. He was busy living his life, building two family homes, running his own business and having three kids and six grandkids with his wife of 67 years, Virginia, who died six years ago at 92. “After serving in the war, Alfred felt he could try and do anything,” said U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, who helped arrange for Padilla to finally get the honors he had coming to him. Part of the reason for the seven-decade delay is that medals often took longer to get to the soldiers than it took eager soldiers to get home. “My favorite memory is when I got my discharge papers,” Padilla said with a grin. But once Padilla hooked up with the Littleton VFW post, his comrades got right to work to make sure the government granted him his due. That “got-your-back” spirit, Padilla said, is what makes him most proud to be a World War II veteran. He served in the Army from March 1941
until June 1945 in the Headquarters Company, 2nd Signal Battalion, 2nd Armored Division. He earned his battle stars in Normandy, Central Europe, Northern France, Campaign Ardennes and Campaign Rhineland. As a welding and maintenance specialist, part of his job was to sneak up to enemy tankers and weld the door shut, trapping those inside. “He’s a testament to the strength and courage of not only Mr. Padilla, but to others around Colorado and the world that stood up to grave threats,” said Gardner. Padilla’s son, Kenneth, said he was equally inspiring as a father. “My father’s a remarkable man who has lived a full life that has been filled with love,” he said. But if you ask Padilla himself, he says he’s awed by the honor but isn’t sure what he did to deserve all the fuss. “As far as I’m concerned, a big fat nothing,” he said. A fifth-generation Coloradoan, Padilla was born in Hoehne, near Trinidad, where his great-grandfather had been sheriff. Despite a limited education, he’s fluent in English and Spanish, and loves to read and do crossword puzzles, said his son. He started his own contracting firm after

Our mom was incredibly hard-working, too. Together they set goals and ideals that we had to meet. The essence of the American work ethic is embodied in my parents.” Padilla today lives in Castle Pines, visiting the Littleton post occasionally to drink coffee and swap war stories with his fellow vets.

ning, they’re being filled in with soldiers who served in Vietnam, Grenada, Afghanistan and other foreign lands. Gardner spoke of a William Jennings Bryan quote that’s emblazoned on the wall of the Capitol building: “Our government, conceived in liberty and purchased with blood, can be preserved only by constant vigilance.” “The people at Pat Hannon Post believe that isn’t just something you write on the wall, it’s something you put your lives on the line for,” said Gardner.
CenturyLink, in partnership with the Colorado Rockies, is looking for nominations for a program recognizing teens making a difference in their communities through volunteer efforts. During the four-month “CenturyLink Teens in Action” program spanning the summer, CenturyLink and the Colorado Rockies will select six deserving teenagers to receive a special award package as part of the recognition. Winners receive tickets to a Colorado Rockies game and on-field recognition as part of the honor. In addition, $2,000 will be donated the nonprofit where the teen volunteers. “CenturyLink believes in the power of community service and wants to shine a light on the next generation of volunteers in Colorado communities,” Scott Russell, CenturyLink vice president and general manager, said. “By recognizing their selflessness and generosity, we hope to

Anyone can nominate an outstanding Colorado teen volunteer between the ages of 13 and 18 by submitting an essay at colorado.rockies.mlb.com. “Identifying and recognizing outstanding teen leadership in our community is why we are very excited to partner with CenturyLink,” said Greg Feasel, Rockies executive vice president and COO. “To acknowledge teens that volunteer their time and efforts to make a large impact on so many lives is a program that our organization is proud to be a part of.”

Director says goodbye to housing agency Burnham ‘leaving a great legacy,’ behind says board chair By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dozens of well-wishers stopped by The Inn at Hudson Gardens on May 15 to send South Metro Housing Options executive director Dan Burnham into retirement in style. “Dan is leaving under happy circumstances and leaving a great legacy, and there’s something to be said for that,” said real-estate broker Stew Meagher, chair of the SMHO board. Libby Bortz, a founding member of the SMHO board, and Charlie Blosten, the City of Littleton’s director of public works, spent some time at the party reminiscing about the origins of the housing authority. They and others worked together starting in 1970 to convince the local government that there was a need for such an entity, that there really were low-income folks in the city who could benefit. Bortz, for whom the Libby Bortz Assist-
ed Living Facility in downtown Littleton is named, said Burnham stayed true to their original goal. “Dan has so much patience and appreciation for the diverse pool of people that we deal with,” she said. “He’s very cool under some very severe pressure.” Blosten said Burnham is one of the nicest people he’s worked with in his capacity with the city, and Rebecca Thompson, the city’s senior code specialist, agreed. “He always has a smile on his face, and he’s always upbeat,” she said. “We love working with him.” His predecessor, Dawn Shepherd, said she never doubted his ability to serve the agency, not when she hired him in 1979 as a project coordinator or when she retired. “I worked with him for 22 years, and there was never a day I didn’t look forward to going to work with him,” she said. “He was the heir apparent as far as I was concerned.” The reception capped off Burnham’s last day. Though he announced he was leaving in January, he wanted to stay long enough to see the Powers Circle Apartments fully leased, a public/private partnership that now has 69 fully renovated affordablehousing units. He also recently enjoyed the grand-

place. I’m leaving it in good hands. It’s time to go to the next step. For now, I’m just going to go have fun.” As of Monday, assistant director Jo Hamit will begin serving as SMHO’s interim director.
Hundreds trained in suicide prevention at ACC Stepping up for our Communities event focuses on mental health By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com “The first time I tried to kill myself, I was 11,” Casey McAndrew told the audience during the Stepping up for our Communities event at Arapahoe Community College on May 14. Today McAndrew is a member of the Children’s Hospital Colorado Youth Board, advocating for teens like her who are battling depression and other forms of mental illness. She ultimately got help by reaching out to her family and voluntarily admitting herself into residential treatment. “What’s so wrong about going there if that’s the only thing that will keep you from killing yourself?” she asked. “Fortunately for me, I had a strong enough relationship with my family and my friends that I was able to ask for help. But I know that not
everybody does. There are people who, because they were scared, they killed themselves, and that should not be an option. About a year ago a friend told me that because of my depression, I was too broken for anyone to love me. Three hundred and sixty-four days later, I stand on this stage strong and alive. Thank you.” Organizers of the daylong event stressed that it was a day about hope, not despair. “We’re inundated by tragedy,” said Brian Turner of Mental Health First Aid Colorado. “It’s hard to not get angry and feel negative every day, and forget about all the good work going on out there. Today is about hope. Today is about feeling empowered.” Then Turner sent the 300 attendees into breakout sessions to learn Mental Health First Aid, which teaches practical methods of dealing with a friend or loved who is exhibiting danger signs. “If we can talk about it, we can deal with it,” said Sally Spencer-Thomas, who founded the Spencer J. Carson Foundation after her brother killed himself. “As long as we treat it like a mystery, people are fearful.” Suicide is the most common cause of death for 18- to 34-year-olds in Colorado,
Jurors will weigh sanity in slaying Man accused of killing his mother in 2012 By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The prosecution and defense agree that Darin Ninneman was psychotic the day he’s alleged to have stabbed his mother to death. The question a jury will face is why. Ninneman pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of second-degree murder in May 2013. He was arrested on May 5, 2012, just a block from the home where he and his mother, Lori, were staying. The fatal argument had occurred just minutes before inside the house, on Windermere Avenue just north of Littleton Boulevard. Health-care professionals told District Court Judge Gerald Rafferty during a May 13 hearing that Ninneman has admitted to smoking methamphetamine with his mom just days before the incident. The prosecution says his voluntary use of the drug is what caused the psychotic state in which he killed her. “He had not had a sustained period of sobriety lasting more than a month or two in his entire adult life,” said Dr. John DeQuardo, a state psychiatrist who evaluated Ninneman for the prosecution. The defense, on the other hand, has
suggested that Ninneman could be schizophrenic, in which case he might have snapped with or without the drug. Dr. Robert Pelc, a forensic psychologist in private practice who evaluated Ninneman for the defense, said he couldn’t tell whether it might be schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or substance-induced psychosis. “I was not able to make a specific distinction,” he said. DeQuardo said even if Ninneman has some sort of organic brain disorder, he considers the meth the primary cause for the break. That’s despite the fact that Ninneman, in and out of emergency rooms and treatment centers since he was a teenager, has had various diagnoses, including bipolar disorder. DeQuardo said at least some of those could have been based on Ninneman lying about symptoms based on his circumstances — making them sound worse in order to serve out his sentence in the state mental hospital instead of prison, for example. “He told me he heard voices, but they were not typical of people with true mental illness,” said DeQuardo. “So I believe he was feigning. I think he was malingering. I think he overstated his symptoms.” Jurors will be asked whether they think Ninneman should be held responsible for the stabbing during the trial, slated to begin Aug. 11.
said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who supports expanding the definition of people who can be involuntarily committed for mental-health treatment. Five such young people were honored during the event for their submissions to the Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health. Cheyenne Jamerson wrote that her depression feels like your shoes are dragging you through the day. “If you are stuck in gray, I hope you find your rainbow,” she wrote. Another, Angie Carlie, said her depression spiraled out of control when her peers began making fun of her because her skin was a different color than the parents who adopted her. “I live in my shadow’s presence,” she wrote. “I am not me anymore, I am death
walking on two feet.” Since being diagnosed, Sandy Cohn’s perception of her illness has changed. In the beginning, she said, “I imagined it’s a lot like expired food, damaged goods, not all there.” But after treatment replaced her selfmedicating methods, she says she’s adapted to the downs and learned that the ups are what matters. “I see it more as a gift from the lessons I was forced to learn,” she wrote. “One day everyone will know my name for immensely changing the world.” For more information on mental illness or Mental Health First Aid, visit www.admhn.org or www.nami.org.

Creating a life that’s lovable Country recording artist Clay Walker’s song, “If I Could Make a Living Out of Loving You,” is an awesome reminder to think about what it is that we do each and every day. Whether it’s personally or professionally, we should be striving to do what we love and love what we do. The full verse from his song goes like this: “If I could make a livin’ out of lovin’ you, I’d be a millionaire in a week or two, I’d be doing what I love and lovin’ what I do, if I could make a livin’ out of lovin’ you.” One of my favorite conversations to have with someone is when they share their passion for what they do for a living, for themselves, for their family, or even recreation and fun. You can absolutely tell when someone is doing what they love and loving what they do
through their body language, tonality of what they are saying and the colorful or powerful words that they actually use while sharing life’s exciting moments. Purpose is so meaningful and passion is so very powerful. My other favorite conversation or discussion to have with someone is when they are
letter to the editor learning to swim a fun, important exercise
Whether you are an adult or a child, South Suburban Parks and Recreation wants you to learn how to swim this summer. Although the activity is very popular all over the world, there are still many people who cannot swim. Learning to swim is necessary for everyone, because swimming can greatly increase your safety in and around water, improve your health, provide a sense of accomplishment, and bring you endless fun. Drowning is the second most common cause of death among children under 18 years old. Drowning occurs not only when children don’t know how to swim, but also when adults around them don’t know how. Learning to swim provides a sense of accomplishment because it involves a number of stepping stones that must be mastered successfully in order to become an adequate swimmer. Learning to swim builds confidence with each step. Swimming is also an excellent and
popular form of exercise. It helps you build strong muscles and bones, maintain flexibility, and it aids with weight control. Swimming is a life-long sport that can be enjoyed well into the golden years. Everyone knows that summer is all about fun. Knowing how to swim enables children to join their peers in the water and helps them make friends more easily, and may provide an extra boost in their social skills. Don’t hesitate to find group or individual lessons. The sooner swimming becomes second nature, the sooner our community will be safer and healthier. JoAnn N. Gould Director of Recreation and Community Services South Suburban Park and Recreation District
Marijuana? Sorry, that’s not my bag I wonder how many of my columns have started with the word “I.” I resolved to do something about it, but here I go again. It would be too odd if I referred to myself in the third person, wouldn’t it? Or if I substituted my first or last name, and wrote something like this: “Smith wondered how many columns he started with the word `I.’” A bit stilted, huh? I have an opinion about almost everything. I am useless in science, business and technology, so I stay out of those areas. I also try to avoid topics that I have limited familiarity with, like health care and marijuana. I went to college in the 1960s, and you might think that I would have some kind of bachelor’s degree in drugs. I don’t. I could have, because they were all around me. I was sitting on my front porch one evening, and a hippie walked up and opened his hand. Pills. I’m not sure what they were. “Here. Free,” he said. “No thank you,” I said. I didn’t start to drink until I was 30. That’s not a typo. By the time I was 30, I might have had three beers, a couple of glasses of wine, and that’s all. Marijuana was everywhere, but I wasn’t interested. I’m still not. So I haven’t written about it before. I don’t know what I am talking about. Tell me who is willing to admit that? I have read a couple of disturbing stories recently that made me think that I need to do some research and form a tangible opinion. A college kid consumed an entire pot cookie and fell to his death. A father of three ate some pot edibles, and shot his wife in the head while she was on the phone with 911. When Colorado passed the marijuana amendment I knew there would be abuse, because there always is. Have you ever had a margarita? And
not doing what they love and loving what they do. They share stories of discontent, misery, and just plain old unhappiness. They could be unhappy with their job, their family life, and they have not found any time or anything to do that gets where excitement, purpose, or passion would have an opportunity to take root in their lives. Now in the first group, it’s both fun and energizing for me to have conversations with people who share their enthusiasm with such joy. Sometimes their enthusiasm and passion become contagious and I find myself re-energized to pursue my own purpose and passions with even more zeal. The second group is really no different because it provides me with an opportunity to help them self-discover behaviors and attitudes
Fresh out of the legislative session, we’re busy with wrap-up town halls, Capitol office completions, and bill signings. Overall, we produced a little over 400 bills being signed into law, 96 percent of them with bipartisan support this year. With floods of biblical proportions, devastating wildfires, and the onset of recreational marijuana in Colorado last year, it was incumbent upon us in this session to take action to help those in recovery and regulate responsibly. Collectively, it seemed to be a session of civility, thankfully. Yet, in my sixth session down there, I noticed some things were just not usual. For instance, both Republicans and Democrats were sometimes voting with each other, but not together within their own caucus. We saw some odd teams of bill sponsors that would normally be in opposition with each other. Then, other bills that would be usual shoe-ins ended up being on the brink; like the licensure of dentists, which almost died in committee. As for my legislation this session, there were some great successes and some odd upsets. Below, are more of my successful bills not yet covered in my previous columns.
hB-1273 human trafficking
Aligns Colorado human trafficking laws with federal laws and establishes a statewide human trafficking task force to reduce child, sex, and labor trafficking.
Creates a statewide convener to address the need for more key industries employees. For example, IT corporations with 0.3 percent unemployment rate are forced to go out of state and out of the country to find the skill sets they need to fill their job openings.
hB-1283 modifying Prescription drug monitoring Program
program to help prevent doctor-shopping and over-prescribing, and make it easier for prescribers to use.
hB-1173 Controlled substances act
Extends the licensing of controlled substances facilities, making improvements in systems and enforcement, aiding with access to safe substance abuse treatment.
hB-1095 Cyber Crimes CBi
Cyber crimes in both the public and private sectors are on the rise every year and currently only local jurisdictions can start an investigation. This allows the Colorado Bureau of Investigations to originate cybercrimes investigations to capture the larger, inter-jurisdictional criminals.
sB-133 licensing of Private investigators
Establishes licensing of PI’s to protect consumers and enhance the profession. Colorado is 1 of 6 states in the country without mandatory licensing so we’ve been a hotbed for attracting some not-soscrupulous PI’s.
hB-1039 Creative district Community loan fund
Creates a fund with a 3-to-1 match from the foundation community. Loans are available to fund the development and construction of commercial projects and community facilities for creative industries districts.
Colorado is No. 2 in the U.S. in prescription abuse and overdose! This improves the

nothing happened? Nothing seemed to be happening, so you had another one, and another one. Then something happened, and you couldn’t undo it. I have had a few hangovers. Bad ones. Nothing self-caused is worse. At my age, a relapse is unbearable. I used to be able to get up the next day and go. Now it would take three days to recover from a three-day relapse. I don’t want to become cross-addicted. To have quit drinking, and then to find my Hunter S. Thompson in marijuana. For some reason, and this is almost shameful, I think about Cheech and Chong whenever I think about dope. And what I think about Cheech and Chong is that they made some of the worst movies ever made, man. The word “man” has never been scripted so often. Along with “dude.” When I was drinking, my vocabulary did change, but it never went to casual addresses, like calling my neighbor’s wife “man.” How many of us, by percentage, are high at any given moment? It’s halfway understandable, if you read the news. Living every day, as great as it is, is full of physical and philosophical and emotional obstacles and calamities. A friend of mine is no longer current with current events, because her own house is troubled. She has “inherited the
that will lead them to a different way of thinking. You see, it’s not about the title we hold or the job we have, and it’s not about our lives compared to the lives of others. It comes down to how we feel about OUR productivity, OUR effort, OUR enjoyment, and OUR attitude that matters. Let me share an example with you. Years ago when I was visiting a customer on a very regular basis, I could not help but notice how immaculately clean their building was. There was never a piece of paper on the floor, never any dust on the objects or plants in the lobby, and their floors always shined brilliantly as if the fresh coat of wax was just applied.

Event to mark D-Day anniversary By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton hosts a celebration marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day and honoring those of the Greatest Generation who served at home and abroad during World War II. The event will be held at 11 a.m. June 7 at the city’s World War II memorial, 6000 S. Gallup St. in Littleton. The master of ceremonies for the event is Rick Crandall, an on-air personality at radio station KEZW. The event is being sponsored by Littleton’s Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George Evans American Legion Post 103. “We try to mark significant World War II anniversaries and take the opportunity to honor all those who were members of the Greatest Generation,” said Joe Leber, past commander of Pat Hannon VFW Post commander. “We want anyone who served in any

One day as I waited in the lobby for my meeting, I met the man who was responsible for the appearance of the building. He was in his janitorial coveralls, working with precision detail as he worked his broom and dust rag. I decided to have a conversation with him and started by thanking him for the way he made the building look. I shared with him that I believed that the employees and visitors alike must surely feel a sense of pride when they come in because the place was sparkling clean all the time. With a huge smile and warm handshake the man thanked me and told me he had been employed by the company for the past 10 years. And he shared that most people that worked there often thanked him and commented on his ability to make the place shine. When I asked if he liked his job, he smiled again and replied in an instant with, “Man, I love my job and I am grateful for my job.”
capacity during World War II to join us. That includes those who were on the American home front as well as those were overseas.” Leber, patriotic chairman for the VFW post, said VFW 4666 and American Legion 103 have collaborated to hold ceremonies on anniversaries of several key World War II dates such as Pearl Harbor. Their first ceremony for D-Day marked the 60th anniversary on June 6, 2004. “A member of our post, John Pellegren was drafted at 18 and he was 19 when his unit landed on Omaha Beach at 19,” Leber said. “John’s group was credited with knocking out the last pillbox, a fortified gun emplacement, to help open up the beach. A plaque recognizing his unit’s accomplishment is on the memorial on Omaha Beach.” Pellegren and quite a few other World War II veterans came to the 2004 event, Leber said. There were more than 9,000 men killed in the D-Day invasion. I have met ski instructors, CEOs, nurses, shoeshine vendors, pizza makers, teachers, police officers, firemen, salespeople, accountants, massage therapists, personal trainers, retailers, business owners and people from all walks of life who do what they love and love what they do. And I have met others who do something they hate and hate what they do — that is, until we have had a chance to have a conversation where we can focus on purpose, passion, gratitude and attitude. Now I can never say that I have a 100 percent success rate when having these conversations, but even if one out of 100 had some level of self-discovery and started to do what they love and love what they do personally or professionally, I consider that my purpose and I am extremely passionate about it. Are you doing what you love and loving what you do? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we have purpose and live with passion, it will be a better than good week.

At 11 a.m. there will be a ceremony near the lake at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. The ceremony is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speakers include Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and keynote speakers include Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall; Maj. Gen H. Michael Edwards, adjutant general of the Colorado Air National Guard; and Robert L. Jesse, principal undersecretary of the Veterans Affairs Health Department. As part of the ceremonies, a group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker, the honor guard will raise their rifles and fire the 21-gun salute and the bugle will play “Taps,” sending the echo across the rows and rows of gleaming white markers standing in arrow-straight rows.
The Independent 7 In case the weather is bad, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan. After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility, two blocks east of Federal Boulevard on Hampden Avenue. Preparations for the ceremonies at Fort Logan include placing a small American flag adjacent to each headstone. Most of the flags will be placed May 24 by volunteers, many of them young people from a variety of scouting organizations. The same day, flags will be placed on the graves of veterans buried at the Littleton Cemetery. The first official ceremonies honoring the fallen veterans was held when Civil War Union General John Alexander Logan, who is the individual Fort Logan is named for, was commander of the Union veterans group the Grand Army of the Republic. He issued an order that asked all members to decorate the graves of American veterans on May 30, 1868, to honor those who died serving their country. After World War I, Decoration Day became an official holiday and later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. In 1971, Congress passed the holiday act that, among other things, made Memorial Day the last Monday in May.

Bubble wrap gone Wilder Grade-schoolers pop world record in front of packed gymnasium By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Kade Kurowski is a skilled politician, respected by his peers as one who keeps his promises no matter how hard. “He did such a good job of promising this, planning and organizing it,” said Susan Dalton, one of Kurowski’s biggest supporters. Dalton is also the principal of Wilder Elementary School, where Kurowski is finishing up his term as president of the student council, and his elementary school career, with quite a bang. When he launched his successful campaign last fall, he promised to burst the bubbles of every student in the school. His clever plan was to break the world record for number of people popping bubble wrap at the same time. “I wanted to do something that would probably make me beat all the other kids who were running,” he explained to a packed gymnasium on May 14. “A promise is a promise, and I didn’t want to just say it and become president for no reason.” Over the last few weeks, he went to work getting sponsors and donations from All Copy Products, Skin Essentials, Kurowski Custom Homes and Remodel, Denver Boxes and Four Reel Productions. He said he couldn’t have done it without the sponsors and a lot of help from his
mom, Christy. “It was a lot harder than I thought it would be,” he said. To prepare, they had to separate the huge rolls of donated bubble wrap into about 800 single perforated sheets, and separate the eye-catching T-shirts by color and class. They also recruited science guy Steve Spangler, whose kids went to Wilder, to emcee the ear-popping event. “Nobody can sit still during the Romantics!” he shouted as the kids filed into the gym with “What I Like About You” blaring. “Come on kids! This is what college is like!” Dancing and wiggling in anticipation, the kids were very careful not to let loose any premature pops, because to beat the record, at least 399 people had to sustain for at least two minutes while stepping on the bubble wrap. To help ensure entry into the Guiness Book of World Records, Kurowski had added a bubbly twist. While they were popping, everybody sang “I Had a Little Turtle” over and over: “I had a little turtle, His name was Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub, To see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, And ate a bar of soap. And now he’s in his bed, With bubbles in his throat. Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble, Bubble Bubble, Pop!”
“He had such a great, creative idea,” said grandpa John Kurowski, sporting a bright lime-green T-shirt in support. “He’s a creative young boy. He was so excited to come up with an idea all the teachers and students got behind. I brought my bubble wrap, and I’m ready to stomp!” “We have shirts, we are unified, we are a team,” Spangler told everybody before giving the bubble-blasting goahead. “We are a community here at Wilder Elementary.” What ensued was a crazily noisy three minutes and 41 seconds for the 747 students, teachers, parents, grandparents and friends.

Coffman touts military, business background Obamacare
“I think health-insurance reform, health-care reform, is very important,” he said. I think there’s no question the system was flawed. But what I disagree with is upending the entire system to fix the parts that were broken.” He notes that when he was in the state Legislature, he supported laws that prohibited discrimination based on gender or preexisting conditions, and he supported insurance portability and spreading out the risk to a larger pool. “But I think we can do better,” he said. “I would support repeal and replace.”
Fracking
Mental health
“I think there’s been a resurgence in manufacturing jobs due to low-energy costs, which is primarily due to fracking,” said Coffman. He says safety regulations are imperative, but he trusts the states to be better able to create appropriate measures than the federal government. “The citizens have much greater access at the state level than they do to the Environmental Protection Agency,” he said.
Coffman would like to see a residential center for the homeless created at the Anschutz Medical Center in Aurora, with an emphasis on mental health. Along with Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., he launched a task force to study ways to better serve veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. “As a nation, we’ve really fallen short on mental-health care,” said Coffman. “I think it has to be a priority, and it’s not just funding, it’s reforming the current system.” He says he’s also working with the African immigrant community to create a connection with the Aurora Mental Health Center. “I want to make sure they get some services that understand their culture,” he said.
Personhood While there’s been some debate over Coffman’s support of the “personhood” amendment that will appear on Colorado’s 2014 ballot, he says it’s overbroad. He notes his support of a ban on federal funding of abortion except for in the case of rape or incest or when the life of the mother is in danger, and says he’s opposed to all abortions after 20 weeks with the same exceptions. “I’m clearly pro-life,” he said. “I would not vote for it the way it is, and I think there are unintended consequences to it.”
Military funding
“I think I’ve been fairly independent on that, especially because I think Republicans have the same problem that they accuse Democrats of on this. The important metric is the outcome, not how much you spend. I think that there is a lot of waste at

As U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman lobbies to keep his 6th Congressional District seat for the Republicans, he’s not too worried about the new kid on the block. “Coming from Aurora, I certainly have a background that is more reflective of the community,” he said during a May 17 interview at Bemis Library in Littleton. “He moved into the district not because he wanted to live there, but because he wanted to live in Washington, D.C.” He’s talking about Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff, new to the district but not to politics. Coffman He served in the state House from 2000-08, as speaker from 2005 on. In 2010, he launched an unsuccessful bid to unseat fellow Democrat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. Coffman says that’s no replacement for real-world experience like his, including 17 years as an Aurora business owner and a military career that started in 1972. In 2005, he resigned his post as Colorado’s secretary of state to serve a tour with the U.S. Marines in Iraq.
the Pentagon. I think we can reduce spending without compromising security.”
In Colorado, relaxing regulations impeding the aerospace industry is one key to a robust economy, said Coffman. He’s working with Bennet on legislation that they hope will help American aerospace companies export their products and technologies to international customers while still protecting national security interests. Encouraging more manufacturing is another of his priorities, and he joined the Rare Earth Caucus in an effort to make that happen. The group worked to convince the World Trade Organization that China is violating WTO rules by restricting export of metals commonly used to make parts for electronics. “I think free trade is important, but it also has to be fair trade,” said Coffman.

“I’m the only member of the Colorado delegation who served in the military during the Persian Gulf War and Iraq,” he said. He says that makes him uniquely qualified in his role as the chair of the Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, currently looking into the wait-list scandal as whistleblowers emerge around the country. “I think (VA Secretary Eric Shinseki) should step down or be fired, along with the senior bureaucrats that surrounded him,” said Coffman. “. … At first he denied problems, then, in my view, looked the other way and defended those who were responsible. He’s never said heads are going to roll if this is true.” Coffman points to the VA House Committee as a bastion of bipartisanship. “It’s not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue,” he said. “I really feel they all equally care about meeting our obligations to our veterans. I don’t see any daylight between us.” At one time, Coffman was perhaps most famous for being the owner of Buckley the Treasury Dog, his golden retriever that continued to visit the state Capitol even after Coffman left the office of state treasurer. Buckley died two years ago at the age of 10. But his new goldie, named Atty, livens up the home Coffman shares with his wife, Cynthia. Currently the chief deputy attorney general of Colorado, Cynthia Coffman is a Republican candidate for attorney general. Here are Mke Coffman’s quick takes on a variety of topics:

“The Western bronze statuette was eagerly collected by the urban populace at the turn of the 20th century,” said Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of American Art at the Denver Art Museum, as he introduced “The American West in Bronze, 1850-1925,” which opened May 11 and runs until Aug. 31. Smith is co-curator of the first in-depth survey of this popular genre of American art. Thayer Tolles of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was the other curator, and the two have written a companion catalog for the show, which contains 72 bronze sculptures by 28 artists, borrowed from across the U.S. Some of these works were models for larger pieces made for public art: “Indians on the mantel and in the park,” as another catalog essay noted. The sculptures are carefully displayed and lighted in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the museum, so it’s easy to see the touch of the sculptor’s hand in textures and details. Murals on the walls show how some works were translated into monumental public art. The bronzes are grouped by subject: Indians, cowboys, cavalry, pioneers and prospectors, as well as animals of the plains and mountains. Each piece tells a story of the early West, although some of these artists started portraying Western characters from studios in New York before they visited the scene. Some found models for wildlife at the Bronx Zoo and other zoos. By 1850, there were foundries opened in the U.S. where bronzes could be cast. Prior to that time, molds were sent to Europe for casting, which added time and expense to

Courtesy photo the process. A large work at the entrance is by Alexander Phimister Proctor, who studied in Paris, but created images of the American West. Pieces were made by sand casting until 1900, Smith said, when the lost wax method became popular. A video of the lost wax process is shown. It was shot at the Metropolitan Museum and shows the process for making a mold of an equestrian figure of Theodore Roosevelt and readying it to go to the foundry in sections. Two editions of Frederic Remington’s “Bronco Buster” show how he added motion to figures, Smith said, also pointing out his “Cheyenne.” “Bronco Buster” was repeated in 150 editions. A contrasting figure is Paul Manship’s 1926 figure of a running Indian in a sleek style that signaled the beginning of modern art. It looks almost Art Deco, a new era in sculpture.
Wildlife was already vanishing in the West and images such as “A Lament” helped with the rise of the conservation movement. Figures of pioneer women became popular at the start of women’s suffrage movement. (The women’s vote started in the West.) There is a sculpture studio open near the gallery where visitors can explore traditional and contemporary practices. On Saturdays, a professional sculptor will be in residence to demonstrate and talk with children and adults.
if you go The Denver Art Museum is on 13th Avenue between Broadway and Acoma Street in downtown Denver. It is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on Fridays. “The American West in Bronze” is included in general admission. There is an exhibition audio guide available.

fiddler heads for fiddler’s Green Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam to be held May 24 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam first took place on Oct. 4, 1974, in Nashville. Daniels, who has since been inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, invited other musical stars to play with him at the War Memorial Auditorium.

‘Venus in Fur’ looks at interplay By Sonya Ellingboe
IF YOU GO
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com David Ives has written a remarkable play and Curious Theatre director Chip Walton has cast it perfectly. Production values, set, lighting, sound and costumes are well-designed. We are in an old warehouse/ studio with high windows and concrete all around. Banks of fluorescent lights lend a harsh glare as night comes on and rain beats on the windows. (One could make a joke about “a dark and stormy night” …) Playwright/director Thomas (Brett Aune) is on the phone, complaining that none of the 35 women he has auditioned for the Vanda part in his play can “even play feminine — our Vanda’s got to be out there somewhere.” His play is about sadomasochism and the power play between male and female, based on an 1870 book, “Venus in Furs” by
“Venus in Fur” plays through June 14 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., in Denver’s Golden Triangle. Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $20-$40, 303-623-0524, curioustheatre.org. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. He’s about to head home when in rushes a dramatic-looking woman, carrying a blown- inside-out umbrella and pulling a suitcase. It’s Vanda Jordan (Karen Slack) and she is determined to audition, whether it’s too late or not. The train had problems, she says — and she will read for him. She takes off her coat and is wearing a leather vest and skirt, with leather dog collar. The play is set in 1870, he protests, and she switches to bra, panties and a sheer white Victorian-looking dress. Is this Venus? Who is she? She commences the lines,
fetching him a frock coat from her bag. And thus begins an extraordinary cat-and-mouse game that runs non-stop for 90 minutes. She has read the book and knows the script well. Mutual sexual attraction interplays with changes in which actor dominates at a given moment — but mostly it’s Vanda. They go on and off book, but in either case, it’s about control and outsized emotions. There are humorous breaks in the suspense. Ives is a masterful writer. “Marry me, dominate me … this is the future of men and women,” Thomas says near the end as lightning and thunder continue outside. Bottom line? “Don’t (mess) with a goddess!!” This is a wonderfully conceived and produced play. Concept and language are for a mature audience, but are so smoothly tied in that they shouldn’t offend. Both Slack and Aune offer top-of-thegame performances.

Art blurs line between legal, literary By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Three new exhibits opened May 3 at the Museum Outdoor Arts indoor gallery in the Englewood Civic Center. All will continue until July 12, and admission to this alwaysinteresting gallery is free. As one enters, the first reaction is “I must be in City Hall” because the walls are plastered with legal notices and permits dealing with zoning and other civic matters. A closer look finds some documents are actually filled in with poetry and others state possible fictional, sometimes whimsical situations. On shelves in the same area is a collection of books that have been on a “banned books” list in some community in the U.S. They are part of an exhibit based on an “Open Action Workshop: School As Experi-
MOA is located on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, and is open to all without admission charge. Exhibits change every few months. Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Thursdays; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. 303-806-0444, moaonline.org. mental Medium.” It included University of Colorado-Boulder students who were interns in the MOA’s Design and Build program and was facilitated by Richard Saxton of the nonprofit organization M12 Collective, as well as MOA staff. The conceptual exhibit results from a workshop put into a civic context. Participants also had a lesson on how to make a personal shelter from a plastic bag and some life-saving hints on supplies. Musician/author Neil Haggerty
talked about his former bands and how he learned to mix records — which is what he does now. The group of students gave public performances in Englewood, reading public notices aloud, and they gave consideration to a large Englewood zoning map mounted on the gallery wall, addressing the role of the artist in a community. On the same exhibit schedule, through July 12, one finds a pair of individual shows by Colorado artists Nicole Banowetz and Colin Parson. Banowetz has filled Gallery C with creepy inflatable sculptures that resemble viruses under a microscope — called “Contagion.” These large white critters are climbing the walls. “`Contagion’ is growing, filling, inflating and spilling through the gallery. The work literally expands with air — threatening to burst. The forms are based on micro-

scopic bacteria and viruses. These forms are beautiful and complex, yet menacing as they replicate and invade the gallery, trying to escape through the windows …” Banowetz writes. This installation was previously exhibited at the 2013 Bicentennial of the Americas in the McNichols Building at Denver’s Civic Center. In the White Box Gallery at the back is Colin Parson’s LED environmental light installation, “Divided Part II.” It explores perpetual elements of color, line, light and space. One can stand in the center, surrounded by an eerie glow. Also at the back of the MOA is the Sound Gallery, where the visitor finds a film of the Open Action Workshop in action. It gives an in-depth look at how the process works for students. Spend 15 minutes here — absorbing.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.

Play is painful, mesmerizing ‘A Lie of the Mind’ is dark view of families By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In “A Lie of the Mind,” playwright Sam Shepard’s two families interact with each other and members of the other family in a style that makes one wince every few minutes. It’s a hard one to watch, but director Verl Hite has recruited a cast that’s up to staging Shepard’s bizarre tale — one of several he has written colored by his take on American families. The time is 1974. Place: Montana, California and somewhere in between. Country music plays
in the background. When “A Lie of the Mind” first ran off-Broadway in 1985, directed by Shepard, it ran four hours, but the version presented by the Bug Theatre, like a 2010 Broadway revival, is under three and will keep an audience absolutely engaged, however uncomfortable viewers may be. The stage represents two households in the West, with skewed floors suggesting the offbalance status of all involved. As lights go up on Scene 1, Jake (Chris Bleu) is at a pay phone, frantically trying to call his brother Frankie (Paul Jaquith) for help. He has beaten his wife Beth so severely that he thinks she is dead. “I didn’t see it coming” says this psychopathic man, who also talks
about how he’ll die without her. Love and its varied manifestations is a theme that threads through this disturbing script repeatedly. Frankie determines to find out what happened and heads for Beth’s home in Montana, where he is shot in the leg by Beth’s father Baylor, who lives only to hunt deer. Dell Domnik and Darcy Kennedy play Beth’s out-of-touch parents. Brain-damaged Beth (a strong Haley Johnson) is struggling in a hospital, while her brother Mike (Sam Gilstrap) tries to help her realize she’s alive and needing assistance. The script calls for her to be barely intelligible, yet we get the drift of what she is trying to communicate and want to help
Careers
Haley Johnson plays Beth and Sam Gilstrap is her brother Mike in Sam Shepard’s intense “A Lie of the Mind” at the Bug Theatre. Courtesy photo her too. On the other side of the stage, Jake goes home to his family for help and his tough- talking mother (Libby Rife) and angry sister (Mary Kay Riley) are isolated in their own worlds.

Transfer attention to the Montana side of the stage (action is sometimes simultaneous) and Beth is at home with her parents, struggling to make sense — and, seeing a connection between Frankie and Jake, tries to romance the confused Frankie. Disturbed Jake appears in Montana seeking Beth, wearing an American flag that belonged to his dead father — yet another tale within this parade of tragedies. Baylor becomes obsessed with proper care of that flag, shutting off all that’s happening around them. As the play draws to an end, with

Warriors lose tough battle Arapahoe’s bid for state girls lacrosse title ends with loss to Cherry Creek By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The faces of the Arapahoe High School girls players reflected disappointment and sadness May 14 as they left the field after an 11-10 loss to Cherry Creek in the state quarterfinal game played at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. “We knew it would be a tough battle,” Warrior coach Stacey Birlson said after the game. “We beat Cherry Creek for the first time ever 12-11 during the regular season and scored the winning goal with seven seconds left in the game. Today, we were within one goal of tying the score with three seconds left but it didn’t happen.” A sun-drenched field greeted the teams as they took the field to the cheers of fans from both schools as they lined up to start the May 14 quarterfinal game. Both teams played a slower pace, deliberate style by passing the ball around as teammates cut through defenders in an effort to get an open shot at the goal. Arapahoe scored a goal with just under three minutes left to break a 3-3 tie so they had a 4-3 advantage at halftime. Cherry Creek came out early in the second half, mounted an aggressive attack to take a 6-4 advantage. The teams both scored more goals and Bruins held an 11-8 advantage with 5:33 left in the second half. Arapahoe didn’t toss in the towel or quit pressing the attack as it scored two unanswered goals to close the score to 11-10 with three seconds left. The Warriors mounted a balanced attack with four players, Isley Walker, Kate Englert, Alexis Linhardt and Alexy DeHarb scoring two goals each. After the game, Coach Birlson said her

Lindhardt scored a pair of goals for the Warriors but Cherry Creek won the game, 11-10. Photo by Tom Munds team played a deliberate style against Cherry Creek. “We passed the ball around and took our time because we knew both teams were focused on ball possession,” she said. “We used passes to control the ball. All the players were moving and we continued passing until we could get the ball to a player who had chance for a good shot on the goal.” The coach said the Warriors’ defense played very well and goalie Brooke Engel was a key. “Brooke made some great saves and
helped keep the score close,” she said. Birlson said although Arapahoe lost the quarterfinal game, the girls should be proud of all they accomplished. “This is a great group of girls and they played their hearts out today and all season,” she said. “This is by far the best season in the history of Arapahoe girls lacrosse. We won the league title, we beat Cherry Creek so our team can look with pride on all they accomplished.” The Warriors finished the year with a 12-3 regular season record and were league
champs, unbeaten in seven games. Arapahoe had a potent offense, scoring an average of 15 goals a game, while the defense held opponents to less than seven goals a game. Kate Englert was the team scoring leader with 45 goals and 18 assists. Teammate Kienan Linhardt had 38 goals and 13 assists and Alexy DeHarb scored 33 goals and dished off 18 assists. Brooke Engel was in goal for the Warriors and she made 126 saves for her team.
Colter captures two titles, Miller reaches podium four times for Bruins in Lakewood
She set personal records in the 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles but finished second in both events to girls who set state records. In the 100-meter hurdles, Miller was timed in 13.38 seconds but Dior Hall of George Washington established a meet record of 13.09 to win. Miller’s time was the fourth best all-time in Colorado. Miller fashioned a 41.57 in the 300 hurdles but Rocky Mountain junior Carly Lester won with an all-time state record of 41.18 to break the previous mark of 41.35 set by Twink Krainik of Highlands Ranch in 2000. “I’m not disappointed at all,” Miller said about her runner-up finishes. “I’m extremely proud of the girls I ran with. In the 100 hurdles against Dior I was actually excited she broke the record. I knew she could do it. I also know it’s not going to last very long because I can get that next year. “With Carly I have her next year. It’s going to be great competition.” Cherry Creek’s boys 4x400 relay team was a state champion and the boys 4x800 relay team took second behind Chaparral. Other state winners from south metro schools included Douglas County’s Trey Smith who secured the Class 5A 100 meter title. Highlands Ranch’s Connor Turnage captured his third straight triple jump title and teammate Ben Morgan won the long jump. Valor Christian had two individual Class 4A champions. Senior Zac Petrie was the boys 400 meter titlist and junior Haley Showalter bagged the girls discus crown. Lutheran captured the boys Class 2A team title and sophomore Chris Youngs was the 100 and 200 meter champ. The Lions 4x400 relay team also set a meet record of 3:23.30 in putting the finishing touches on their runaway team victory.
Cherry Creek girls come up third at state meet By Jim Benton

Cherry Creek distance runner Jordyn Colter successfully repeated as the state champion in two events but teammate Ashley Miller will have to wait until next year to hopefully take a step up on the victory podium. Colter and Miller led the Bruins girls team, the defending Class 5A state champions, to a third-place finish in the Colorado State Track and Field Championships May 15-17 at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood. The diminutive Colter, a junior, repeated as the 800 meter champion May 16 with a time of 2 minutes, 9.16 seconds and edged Lauren Gregory of Fort Collins at the tape May 17 to capture her second consecutive 1600 meter state title in 4:57.27. Colter now holds five state titles since she was also part of the school’s title-winning 4x800 relay team as a freshman. “It’s awesome to come out and do it again,” said Colter. “I’ve said it before that it’s an honor to race against such good competition. I couldn’t ask for a better day.” For a while it appeared that Colter might not repeat in the 1600 but she passed Gregory just before the finish line. “I’ve been working on my speed a lot this season,” pointed out Colter. “I just had to put it to use. I’m very happy.” Miller, a sophomore, was seventh in the 200 meters and fifth in the 100 meters.

Regis Jesuit wins 20th state swimming title Highlands Ranch’s Mueller captures two individual championships in the pool By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media Hennessey Stuart of Regis Jesuit High School was selected as the most valuable swimmer in the May 16-17 Class 5A state swimming and diving meet at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. While helping to lead Regis to its fourthconsecutive state title, Stuart won titles in the 200 Individual Medley and 100 Backstroke and swam legs on the Raiders firstplace 200 medley and 400 relay quartets. The 400-relay team touched up in state record accomplishment. Stuart overwhelmed the field in the 100 Backstroke, finishing in a time of 47.24 seconds for the victory, nearly four seconds ahead of runner-up Thomas Konde (51.10) of Cherokee Trail. The 200 IM was much closer as he won in a time of 1 minute, 47.77 seconds, beating out Cherry Creek’s Jake Markham (1:48.58) and Loveland’s Ryan Ball (1:50.58). “I was actually very nervous going into the race,” Stuart said after the 200 IM. “But I’m certainly happy the way it turned out. Jake and Ryan are very good and I knew they would give me some tough competition. “The state record in the 400 relay is really something and it was sweet to win in all four of my events today. (Winning the) MVP is exciting and awesome. And this was a great day for my brother, Quinlan, and for our team. It was awesome watching my brother and to be a part of our fourth straight title here at Regis.” Quinlan Stuart won the 100 Breaststroke in a time of 57.2 seconds, just nip-
ping Cherokee Trail’s Joshua Bedford (57.53) and his Regis teammate, Theodore Koerner (57.68). “I can’t seem to explain my feeling for this one,” Quinlan Stuart said. “I’m just so honored to have me and my brother doing well. This is my first title today and to win the relays with my brother and teammates is a blessing.” Regis won the opening 200 Medley Relay in 1:31.71 as Chris Morales and Will Pieseski joined the Stuarts in the win. Boulder was second with a time of 1:34.34. Mitchell Bruckman, Christopher Dawson and Austin Phillips swam with Hennessey Stuart on the 400 Freestyle Relay, winning in a time of 3:00.84. The Raiders defeated Cherry Creek (3:04.14) and Fairview (3:07.69) in the event. It was the Raiders depth that led coach Nick Frasersmith’s squad to an overwhelming 410 points to sink runner-up Cherry Creek (190) and third-place Fairview (179). It also was the 20th overall title for the Raiders. “To begin with, this was just a great team effort,” Frasersmith said. “The boys put their hearts into the season and we had a good run. Day by day our practices were good and the boys found their goal today. They just all pulled together. It was a great season. And, that certainly goes for Hennessey. What a fine way to end the year.” Regis picked up its final individual title in diving behind the efforts of Kyle Goodwin, who won his third consecutive state championship by scoring 559.29 points. He easily outscored runner-up Trent Kindvall of Standley Lake (487.65). “It felt good to get this win and each year I’ve gotten better,” Goodwin said. “It feels much more rewarding this year. The

key was confidence from my training and going into the day with high hopes once again.” Kindvall was more than pleased with his effort and knew it was going to be a tough go against Goodwin. “I had a great meet and it’s certainly a fine finish,” Kindvall said. “I was third last year, so this is an improvement. The key was consistency. I didn’t have any horrible dives and it just came out so well this time around. Goodwin’s tough, but we all knew that coming in.” Nathan Mueller of Highlands Ranch also had a superb day coming through for championships in the 200 and 500 Freestyle events. And, Fairview’s Miles MacKenzie was able to win his second title in the 100 Freestyle as well as finish second in the 50 Free. “This feels pretty good as I started to get into it,” Mueller said after touching up in 1:38.26 to beat out Austin Phillips of Regis (1:39.25) in the 200 Free. “I had a lot of confidence and knew I was prepared and that it was going to be fun. It’s sweet to get the win.” He then edged another Regis swimmer, Christopher Dawson to take the 500 Free. Mueller touched up in 4:27.41, besting Dawson by 1.46 seconds.
