As a runner, Carson Hume said he felt a tugging to support and encourage the victims of the Boston Marathon tragedy. He had to do something. So the Dakota Ridge junior student-athlete did.
The events of that day left him and his family in shock. He talked with his dad, John, a little bit and came up with the idea to hold a fund-raiser. The only question was what. Maybe a benefit concert, but that didn’t seem like a good fit in such a short period of time. His attention turned toward running, specifically Dakota Ridge’s track team.

LAKEWOOD — Bernard McDondle lifted his head ever so slightly, displaying a face full of concentration, as he peeked down the runway. Then he took off, charging full speed toward the long-jump pit. His jump, at least his second one in the final round May 16, was several inches behind the line.

That cost McDondle precious length, but it didn't matter. He'd already done his damage in the preliminary rounds at the 5A boys state track & field championships at Jefferson County Stadium.

Nearly 100 concerned cyclists and Deer Creek Canyon residents joined Jeffco County Commissioner Donald Rosier at the Sampson Community Club building in Littleton last Wednesday to discuss safety on the canyon’s roads.

“The issue here is safety,” Rosier told the packed house. “Nobody here is happy with the way things are now, and that’s why we’re here tonight.”
