Session delivers bills on transportation, pension reform State lawmakers also tackled health care, affordable housing

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a work season buoyed up by unforeseen revenue, Colorado lawmakers passed a deal to put more money toward the state’s deep transportation needs, gave the green light to a last-minute compromise on its public-retirement system and made progress on curtailing the opioid epidemic.

As conservative lawmakers note, the Legislature passed heavy spending lifts without a tax hike — enabled by favorable forecasts to the tune of a $1.3 billion increase in state revenue from last fiscal year. Strong economic growth and changes in federal tax policy set the state up to take in more revenue.

But Democrats and Republicans still battled on how to split that pie, and compromises left both sides without their ideal path forward.

Meanwhile, developments were less noteworthy on affordable housing, as prices continue a years-long spike.

The regular session — the 120-day term when bills can be passed — ended May 9. Here’s a look at some of what was accomplished.

Wheels turn on transportation Colorado landed itself in a $9 billion hole as of 2016, according to state projections of transportation-spending needs through 2025, and lawmakers aimed to chip further away at that price tag.

“Transportation was a — if not the — priority for Republicans this session,” said state House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock.

Roads and bridges had been “neglected by the Democrats for 13 years,” he added.

For the Democrats’ part, state House Speaker Crisanta Duran supported an unsuccessful bill last year to ask voters to raise sales and use taxes by 0.62 percentage points to raise about $375 million per year for the Colorado Department of Transportation, with other revenue going to counties and municipalities.

Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City, supported that bill along with Duran, D-Denver.

This time around, lawmakers passed a $645 million boost over the next two years in a bill that would also ask voters in 2019 to approve about $2.3 billion in bond funding for transportation. That option would put Colorado on the hook for up to $3.25 billion in borrowing costs over 20 years.

“House Republicans are optimistic that the construction-litigation reform law passed in 2017 will spur more affordable home construction, but we need to give the market time to adjust before enacting more legislation.”

Cole Wist, R-Centennial, State House assistant minority leader

But before that, outside groups may ask voters in 2018 to approve either another spending requirement without taxes, or allow a sales-tax increase.

“The Legislature will have no choice, I think, but to spend more on transportation and spend less on other things” if the first option passed, said Chris Holbert, state Senate majority leader.

Holbert, R-Parker, was skeptical of the tax increase passing, “given the voter reaction to prior tax increases.”

Senate Bill 18-001, the deal lawmakers passed, headed to the governor’s desk May 17.

Small steps on housing Housing affordability, on the other hand, didn’t see a grand bargain that would move the needle much.

“There was more lip service than anything else,” said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado independent political analyst.

Democrats unsuccessfully tried to pass a tax on shopping bags to fund affordable-housing assistance, while Republicans focus on what they say are regulations that make construction unaffordable.

“House Republicans are optimistic that the construction-litigation reform law passed in 2017 will spur more affordable home construction, but we need to give the market time to adjust before enacting more legislation,” said Cole Wist, state House assistant minority leader, R-Centennial.

Lawmakers passed a bill that extends the state’s ability to allocate affordable-housing tax credits through the year 2024.

It would have expired at the end of 2019, according to the Legislature’s website.

It was a welcome move, but Coloradans need more support, state Rep. Faith Winter said.

“I’m excited that we were able to (extend) affordable-housing tax credits so that more affordable-housing projects can get off the ground,” said Winter, D-Westminster. “However, the response from the Legislature was woefully inadequate in addressing the affordable-housing crisis in Colorado.”

The Legislature passed what state Rep. Chris Kennedy called a “renters’ rights bill” that would require landlords to provide a copy of a lease to each tenant, as well as receipts for cash rent payments, he said.

Senate Bill 18-007, the bill that extended tax credits, headed to the governor’s desk May 11.

PERA gets fix Senate Republicans passed in March what they called “sweeping new changes” to the state’s public-employee pension fund, which lawmakers say is at least $30 billion underfunded. The bill eventually passed both chambers of the Legislature on the session’s final day.

Opioids, health costs Before the session began, lawmakers put together six bills to address opioid abuse, including to allow for supervised-injection facilities — where people with substance-use disorders could safely inject and be referred to treatment — and to expand access to residential, or live-in, substance-abuse treatment.

Lawmakers rejected the injectionfacility bill, but a bill to limit the amount of opioids that can be initially prescribed passed, Priola said.

“I did run an (electronic) prescribe bill that didn’t make it,” which “would have helped reduce doctorshopping and forged prescriptions,” Priola said.

A bill to add inpatient and residential substance-use treatment as a

Medicaid benefit — House Bill 18-1136 — passed May 7.

“These measures are the direct result of the hard work by (state) Rep. Brittany Pettersen,” said Winter, referring to the Lakewood Democrat who has pushed to address the opioid crisis and widely talked about her mother’s struggle with a substanceuse disorder.

Also passed was a measure to implement more education to medical providers about prescribing opioid drugs. Pettersen said the package of bills passed has “put Colorado on the map as a national leader.”

“This is the most important work I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of and might be the most important work in my lifetime,” Pettersen said. “Our package of bills will begin to close the barriers we face in addressing this public-health crisis. We are going to save thousands of lives.”

Elsewhere on health care, lawmakers passed bills to increase price transparency for free-standing emergency departments — which patients often confuse with urgent-care facilities, only to be charged emergencyroom fees that can cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars more.

Senate Bill 18-146 requires FSEDs to provide individuals with information on cost of treatment, the individual’s right to reject treatment and ability to ask questions about costs and options.

The bill also requires an FSED to post a sign that states, “This is an emergency-medical facility that treats emergency-medical conditions” and indicate whether the facility contains an urgent-care clinic.

ket issues or others — occur, to “keep things from spinning out of control,” according to Sondermann.

“The bill was certainly half a loaf, but I don’t think anyone really expected more than half a loaf,” said Sondermann, who co-heads a group called Secure Futures Colorado, which has pushed for reform of the program.

The deal was painful, but passing it was the right thing to do, Kennedy said.

“Retirees in 30 years are going to feel the benefit because their pensions will be there for them,” Kennedy said. “In the shorter term, employees are going to notice a dent in their paychecks, and retirees are going to see smaller cost-of-living adjustments, unfortunately.”

The program manages about $44 billion for more than 560,000 current and former public employees — teachers, police, and other local- and state-government employees — or about 1 in 10 Coloradans.

Doing nothing would have threatened the state’s credit rating and put all beneficiaries at long-term risk, state Sen. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, has said in the past.

The Public Employees’ Retirement Association program, or PERA, has been an increasingly dire issue for years.

Senate Bill 18-200, “which was my legislation, accomplished this task of ‘stopping digging the hole while trying to fill it’ with an approach of shared sacrifice, solid financial fundamentals and better governance,” Tate said.

It adjusts the program to keep it on track to pay off its unfunded debt within 30 years, putting $225 million annually toward paying down that debt.

A bill that drew ire from the state teachers’ union, it eliminates costof-living raises for two years, and afterward, annual raises will continue at 1.5 percent, cut from the current 2 percent.

That rate could automatically adjust to help keep the system financially in check, said state Sen. Kevin Priola, a Republican who represents the south part of Thornton.

The bill has a “ratchet effect” built in so that employer and employee contributions increase automatically if challenging conditions — increased life expectancy, financial-mar-

New site celebrates vista on High Line Canal Trail Sumac Hill Farm Overlook peers across horse pastures, Rockies

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

tanding at Sumac Hill Farm Overlook along the High Line Canal Trail in Centennial, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported either back in time or far away.

The overlook, just north of Goodson Recreation Center and deKoevend Park near South University Boulevard and East Arapahoe Road, gazes down on the rolling hills of the Smedley family’s horse farm. A coalition of local entities secured 10 of the farm’s 12 acres as a conservation easement in 2016, meaning they will stay undeveloped in perpetuity.

The 600-square-foot platform at the overlook, which officially opened to the public on May 16, represents the culmination of the easement efforts, providing a place of rest for trail users to enjoy the vista.

The easement and overlook came to fruition thanks to the efforts of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the City of Centennial, Arapahoe County Open Space, the South Metro Land Conservancy and the Trust for Public Lands. The total cost of the easement was $1.1 million.

The easement and overlook secure a long-term amenity for trail users, said John Ostermiller, the chairman of the South Suburban Board of Directors.

“These acres will forever be preserved, offering residents and visitors who jog, bike, stroll, and ride horses a forever opportunity to view

Sumac Hill Farm dates back to 1947, said Tom Smedley, the farm’s proprietor.

“My father grew up in Denver and always wanted to live in the country,” Smedley said. “He served in World War II, and when he came back he bought this place for $200 an acre … My father had a dream that this would become open space and be preserved

for everyone for generations to come. This project was the consummation of his dream.

He loved playing with his horses along the trail, and people would stop and talk to him. He called it an oasis in the middle of the city.”

The Smedleys operate the farm today as a horsemanship school, and also keep bees and sell honey.

Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko called the project a great example of interagency

collaboration.

“When we got funding from the county to make things like this happen, one of the first things we discussed is: Where is there open space in the city of Centennial?” Piko said. “There’s not a lot. This is a beautiful experience for residents.”

The overlook and easement are an example of your tax dollars at work, said Josh Tennyson, Arapahoe County’s open spaces grants and acquisitions manager.

“This is also a partnership with our citizens and voters who voted for the Arapahoe County Open Space sales and use tax in 2003 and reauthorized it in 2011,” Tennyson said. “Without proceeds and funding from that tax, we

From open prairie to economic driver Centennial Airport’s history ran alongside rise of Denver’s south metro area

ABOUT THE AIRPORT

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the story goes, a businessman drove a shiny, black car to his downtown Denver office, and when he walked back to the car that afternoon, he found a large scratch in the door. Around the early 1960s, that was enough for George MacKenzie Wallace to plan to move his office to a location with more space for parking.

He set out to buy two acres of land in the southeastern part of the Denver metro area, but a reluctant seller wouldn’t break up a 40-acre parcel. That land sat near what was becoming Interstate 25 (a stretch completed in 1963) and East Belleview Avenue. With the 38 extra acres, Wallace carried out his vision for a working environment that would eventually become the Denver Tech Center, one of the first suburban-office parks of its kind in the nation.

It wasn’t long before Wallace saw the need for a generalaviation airport to serve the growing area — he helped push for a solution in what would become Centennial Airport.

The general-aviation airport, now one of the nation’s busiest, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, capping off half a century of advancement alongside the south-metro area in which it plays a central role. The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of what’s now the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

Here’s a look at the highlights from its beginnings to today.

Beginnings in the 1960s • In 1960, the Federal Aviation Administration and Arapahoe County begin planning for a proposed reliever airport to ease congestion at Stapleton International Airport, the former airport that served Denver. The Stapleton area since redeveloped into retail and a residential neighborhood.

• The FAA and Arapahoe County officially announce the proposal for airport development in 1963. Construction begins in 1967 with $1.6 million from the Federal Airport Aid Program for the purchase of 380 acres of land.

• That August, Lou Clinton,

runway. At the time, 165 aircraft are based at the airport.

Clippings from newspapers show Arapahoe County Commissioners Howard E. Abbott, left, standing with John V. Christensen and John J. Nicholl as they cut the ribbon dedicating, at the time, a new half-mile-long extension to the main runway at thenArapahoe County Airport. The bottom clipping shows a photo of the airport on its opening day, May 12, 1968. of Clinton Aviation, signs a 30-year lease, becoming the airport’s first fixed-base operator. Emily Howell, who would become the first woman captain of a scheduled United States commercial airline, becomes head of Clinton’s flight-training program.

• The Arapahoe County Airport — Centennial Airport’s original name — officially opens May 12, 1968. Local newspapers report more than 20,000 in attendance. Aerobatic pilot Dick Rutt cut the first ceremonial ribbon with the wing tip of his plane. At the time, there are 98 aircraft based at the airport.

• In 1969, aircraft-parking areas and connecting taxiways expand. The airport acquires an additional 404 acres of land and begins adding a crosswind

On the rise in the 1970s • The airport’s first firehouse is built, and the crosswind runway is completed in September 1970. In 1971, the airport acquires more land for a 1,000-foot extension of its current runway, building a parallel runway and adding a parallel taxiway.

• Construction begins on the airport’s first permanent tower in 1972. At this point, 226 aircraft are based there. A dedication ceremony is held for the new tower in 1973.

• Wallace is appointed to head the new Arapahoe County Airport Executive Management Committee, which was in charge of airport operations, general management and development of additional facilities, in 1973.

• The Columbine Airport, located in the Littleton area, closes in July 1973.

• The air-traffic control tower is selected as the FAA Rocky Mountain Region Terminal Air Traffic Facility of the Year in 1974.

• The Denver Tech Center, located to the northwest, adds more office, residential, retail, hotels and infrastructure throughout the decade.

• The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is created during a public hearing held June 9, 1975, under the Public Airport Authority Act, making the airport a separate legal entity. Arapahoe County transferred the title to the airport land and improvements to that new body.

• Wallace formally resigns as director of the airport’s Executive Management Committee in 1979.

• That’s the peak year for aircraft operations, with an av-

erage of 1,189 operations (total takeoffs and landings) per day, totaling 434,264 for the year.

Changes in the 1980s • In 1983, the control tower becomes a 24-hour facility.

Planning for “Project 85,” the airport’s long-range development plan, begins.

• The airport officially changes its name in 1984 to Centennial Airport, a name adopted by the Airport Authority to reflect growth, and as a hat tip to Colorado’s nickname, the Centennial state.

• Douglas County receives representation on the Airport Authority Board in the form of three newly added members in 1984.

• A formal dedication for a new control tower and administration complex is held in 1985.

• With 351,856 total aircraft operations and 926 based aircraft, Centennial Airport is ranked as the 11th busiest airport in the nation among all airports, including general aviation and commercial, in 1985.

Tumult in the 1990s • Challenges with residential encroachment, as well as arguments over commercial-airline service proposed by Texas entrepreneur John Andrews, would reach both the Colorado and U.S. supreme courts. The airport’s annual federal funding would be suspended after the board refused to lift its ban on scheduled-passenger service — in other words, commercial-airline flights, like those on a major airline, such as Southwest Airlines.

Forward in the 2000s • The airport finds relief through a deal with the federal government that restores

Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed a proclamation declaring May 25, 2018, as Centennial Airport Day, calling the airport “a proven model for general-aviation airports around the world.”

The airport celebrates its 50thanniversary gala May 25 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver, headlined by Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Tickets went for $250 each, and proceeds will go to benefit the Centennial Airport Foundation.

An economic hub, the airport generates an annual economic impact of $1.39 billion, and the airport and associated businesses pay an estimated $33 million in taxes each year to local municipal and county partners.

Centennial Airport is a generalaviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercial-airline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix.

It is not located in the City of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest generalaviation airports in the country. annual federal funding for maintenance projects.

• Robert Olislagers, the airport’s current executive director, is hired.

• “By far, my favorite moment at Centennial Airport was in 2002 when our communities got together and, with the support of the Colorado congressional delegation led by then U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, we managed to carve out legislation that settled the airline issue here at the airport,” Olislagers said.

“It was a huge win for the airport and our communities.

Our civic leaders, citizens and the airport got on the same page to do something extraordinary that had never been done before or since. It goes to the power of presenting a united front.”

Going strong in the 2010s • Centennial Airport marks its 50th birthday in 2018 debtfree.

• Total aircraft operations in 2017 are about 340,000, and based aircraft total about 1,000.

City seeks applicants for election commission

Student stress can spike in May Transition time heightens anxiety for some, experts say

STAFF REPORT

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Remember the feeling of freedom on the last day of school? Not every student feels it.

Children’s mental health care providers see a spike in visits from teens in May, said Emily Laux, a licensed clinical psychologist at Children’s Hospital in Denver.

She said while correlation doesn’t necessarily equal causation, she sees the transition from the school year to summer as a shock to the system of some kids.

“Times of big transition carry additional stress,” Laux said. “For most kids the transition to summer is something that’s fun and exciting, but for others they’re losing connection to where they’ve spent the last eight

Children’s mental health care providers say students’ mental health can take a dive in May, as end-of-the-school-year stresses weigh on them.

DAVID GILBERT months. For those who aren’t driving yet or aren’t as independent, they might feel disconnected from friends or activities or teachers who are important to them.”

End-of-the-year academic pressures can weigh on kids too, Laux said, particularly in an age of increasing demands on children’s time and school performance.

“There’s an adult element that society in general needs to look at: What are we expecting of kids and is it reasonable?” Laux said. “Might there be negative impacts of a highperforming, high-pressure society?”

Symptoms of stress End-of-the-school-year stresses can manifest many different ways, Laux said.

“We often see a reduction in distress tolerance,” Laux said. “We see an increase in worry and anxiety, or maybe a refusal to attend school, increased isolation, or even self-harm.”

Younger kids might lash out more by throwing tantrums, while older kids are more likely to internalize their distress, Laux said.

Kids experiencing end-of-the-year

stress would do well to engage their support networks, Laux said, and might benefit from adult guidance in breaking down what might feel like insurmountable problems like heavy workloads.

Structured activities can be a blessing or a curse, she said.

“Keep activities that bring pleasure and joy,” Laux said. “For instance, softball might be incredibly important, if it adds something to a kid’s week and gives them an outlet and (a way to) stay connected. But think about reducing some unnecessary ones. Kids tend to be involved in a lot of activities. It’s worth taking a look at which of those are necessary and important and which can be let go.”

Parents are vital for responding to end-of-the-year stress, Laux said.

“Keep channels of communication as open as possible,” Laux said. “Be open and available so your kids can come to you. You can put feelers out: you might say, ‘I remember in high school that wrapping up high school can be stressful. How are you managing that?’

Probe into fatal plane crash could take more than a year Pilot had taken off from Centennial Airport before his aircraft went down in Lone Tree

CALM AFTER THE STORM

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bob Marquis, of Grand Junction, died when his plane crashed in Lone Tree on May 11. The Mesa County Search and Rescue expressed their condolences on social media. Marquis was a member of the search and rescue team.

Keith Holloway, public affairs officer with the National Transportation Safety Board, said an investigation could take more than a year to complete.

“An investigation is very time intensive,” said Holloway.

Dozens of orange flags represented where debris fell in the field, each marking a piece of evidence that must be collected and analyzed. Each investigator is a specialist responsible for a clearly defined portion of the investigation, according to the NTSB’s accident investigation procedure protocol.

It could take more than a year to get answers to the May 11 fatal plane crash near the Stepping Stone community that claimed the life of Grand Junction veterinarian Bob Marquis, 67, authorities say. The pilot had taken off from Centennial Airport, and shortly after, his plane crashed in Lone Tree, several hundred yards west of Stepping Stone.

Residents of the neighborhood reported hearing the whining of an engine around 8:30 p.m. the night of the crash, then a loud thump and whooshing sound as the small plane crashed into the field.

“It sounded like the air was being let out of a big vacuum,” said resident Baylor Bland.

Debris from the plane, a Cirrus SR22, was scattered over more than an acre in the field, and part of the plane’s engine was lodged in the side of a home. Nobody in the neighborhood was injured.

VOICES Life may not be predictable, but graduation speeches are

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

he invitations have gone out, and once again I didn’t receive one.

I wasn’t asked by a single high school, college, or university in the United States to give their commencement speech, even though I promised not to use the words “doom” and “apocalypse.”

I have a doozy too. I’ve been told you have to start with a joke. I have one about Ted Nugent.

“What’s the difference between Ted Nugent and a laundry bag full of frozen underwear?”

I figure I haven’t been invited because I am a no-name who can’t be trusted.

One school told me they were worried I might tell students the truth.

I am not losing sleep because I haven’t been invited. I’m not a big believer in ceremonies in the first place, but The People seem to love them.

And if no one in your family has earned a high school or college degree before, it’s undoubtedly very meaningful.

My elementary school in Fullerton, California, had a ceremony for those of us who had mastered sixth grade. I remember sitting there with a frown on my face.

Graduation ceremonies in films are often depicted with derision. The speaker is boring and the students are disinterested.

Speakers often try too hard to say something profound.

“Nothing in life is guaranteed. You have to earn it.” That kind of thing.

Some speakers sermonize.

“You are all sinners in the hands of an angry God.” That kind of thing. I would walk out.

After the Nugent joke, I would read a few quotes: Lewis Carroll, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx.

I would do a loud and obnoxious promotion for Flex-Seal, just like the ones on television.

And I would close with some young women singing “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”

— a cappella. There wouldn’t be a dry eye in

the joint.

All seriousness aside, I have a small request.

If you or your kid is graduating, don’t send an announcement to an edge-acquaintance who hasn’t heard from you in four years.

It’s an insult.

It just might look like you are beggaring a gift.

I’m not sure why we give gifts to the students anyhow. Instead of their teachers.

The word “commencement” means “to begin,” not “to conclude.”

Although for some, it is the end of the line.

High school and college years are lovely contrivances, not the Real World.

I didn’t want to leave my alma mater. It was paradise. The campus itself is an island of accomplished educators, bright, international students, and exquisite architecture and landscaping.

Michael Kohut Littleton

uilding upon last week’s column about yesterday’s achievements becoming our successes of tomorrow, I wanted to share more about the power of WINNING encourageWORDS ment and the courage to become an encourager, a life lifter, and a true difference maker in this world.

Last week I shared how someone early Michael Norton in my life had encouraged me and motivated me in one certain area of my life many years ago. And I have been so blessed to have many more encouragers, life lifters, and people of positive influence who inspire me and who continue to make a difference in my life each and every day.

But you see, that was not

always the way it was for me.

And unfortunately, that is not the way it is for many of us in this world, too many of us.

Instead of having people in our lives who give us hope and encouragement, we sometimes have people who want to tear us down and discourage us. And the problem is that sometimes they don’t even know they are doing it. They only do it because that was the way they were treated, that was the way they were spoken to, that was the way they grew up. These are the people who were told that life is tough and anyone who tells you differently is lying. So instead of becoming encouragers themselves, they fell into the trap of becoming a discourager.

We need to break that cycle.

What we need is the courage to become an encourager and break the cycle of negativity and pessimism in the world.

Can you imagine living in a

Five ways being a golfer can improve your outlook on life

was introduced to the GUEST game of golf by a busiCOLUMN ness partner and great friend. Besides having a lot of fun, golf would helped me grow mentally, spiritually, while also increasing my vocabulary.

My personal and professional benefits derived from the game of golf: 1. Be in the Now — Unlike any other sport I’ve played, Glenn Bott golf requires incredible concentration and being fully present in the moment. What happened is old news and what the future holds is irrelevant. All that matters is your current shot. You only have control over your club choice, stance, and executing your swing. Everything after that is a result of those decisions. This ability to focus and be present greatly helps at work to stay in the moment, don’t rush, and take the next step. As Tommy Bolt said,

“The mind messes up more shots than the body.”

2. Develops Your Positivity — No matter the results of your swing, you quickly learn they could be a lot worse. If you’re in the fairway, take a moment to remind yourself you’re safe and it’s playable. If you have a negative attitude and focus on what’s wrong your game quickly goes from bad to worse. Golf has tremendously strengthened my positive “can do” attitude and lateral thinking skills. You learn to see choices and options where others only see problems. This helps develop the “Life is an Adventure” attitude where you constantly embrace whatever you encounter with positive enthusiasm.

As Sam Snead said, “Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.”

3. You Become More Resilient — After the ball is struck, you lose control over it. After finishing a round, the better

reality, and a day will come when a memory trace will make you stop for a moment and reminisce about your school.

Sometimes all it takes is a song.

These lyrics came out the year I graduated: “Half my life is books, written pages. Live and learn from fools and from sages.”

Dream on, Class of 2018.

e community, working in an office, or being a part of a congregation where everyone lifted one another up all the time?

Can you imagine living in a family where hopes and dreams are the topics of conversations instead of yells and screams?

Why don’t we or why can’t we shift gears from the negative to the positive? It’s because we lack the courage to act differently, say things differently, and hope things differently with those we love, who we live with, work with, and worship with.

And I can tell you this, someone you know right now, right this very minute, can use a dose of hope and encouragement. And what they really need is for you to have the courage to do it and to be the one to lift them up.

I have the honor and privilege to call Dr. Denis Waitley a coach, a mentor, and above all, a friend. Twenty years ago, Denis told me that I was the most proactive person he had ever met in his life.

And that he saw that trait as one of the key reasons I was meeting with success. Well, do you know that here I am 20 years later, and I intentionally focus on being proactive in all that I do? And it serves me extremely well.

But Denis encouraged me back then

and it made a huge difference in my life. Who has had the courage to encourage you? What was the outcome?

I’ll bet there has been a difference maker in your life for sure.

“You’ve got this.” “I believe in you.”

“I’ll bet today is going to be the best day ever.” “I am so proud of you.” “I admire you.” “You are on your way to the top.” “I see you going places.”

“You hare handling this tough situation really well, keep it up.” “I love you.” “Your work on this project was extraordinary — I cannot wait to see what you will do next.”

Try these, say them with sincerity, don’t be afraid, come up with others of your own, but have the courage to encourage and be a difference maker in someone’s life. You can do this, I believe in you. You are going to be a difference maker in this world, I can just see it now.

So how about you? Are you providing others with hope and encouragement? Are you a life lifter and difference maker?

Do you have people in your life that are lifting you up? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can have the courage to encourage others, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the president of the Zig Ziglar Corporate Training Solutions Team, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

golfers realize you can and learn from the experience or get angry and leave in disgust. Bouncing back from a bad swing with a new attitude and learning from your past error is key to improving and enjoying golf even more. This Kaizen (change for the better) attitude helps you in both your personal and professional life to constantly being on the lookout for new ways to improve.

Mastering resiliency improves your health, well-being, and mental strength.

To quote Ben Hogan, “This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.”

4. Helps Cultivate Gratitude — While walking along there will be moments when you feel extreme gratitude. For the day, your last amazing shot, the people you’re with, the weather, etc. A sense of gratitude also benefits your professional life by noticing the small improvements, your new customers, and improved attitudes. As the popular saying goes, “develop an attitude of

gratitude” and watch your life transform. As Bobby Jones said, “I never learned anything from a match that I won.”

5. Increased Self-Awareness — The time between shots allows you to reflect on your previous swing and learn from it. What was good? Was your mental attitude positive or negative? By developing a habit of mindfulness you can check in on the status of your current thoughts. This awareness allows you to more readily develop new positive habits and begin creating positive changes in your life. Ben Hogan is famous for saying “I never played a round when I didn’t learn something new about the game.”

Butterfly Pavilion looks at survival tricks

W Every year since 2000, veterans, Gold Star families and members of the public gather on Memorial Day for a tribute event in Denver to remember those who gave their lives in service of the country.

Remember the

fallen

Events offer a chance to honor sacrifice

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

emorial Day is just one day a year, and as Louetta Smith, director of the annual Denver Memorial Day Tribute event, sees it, it’s not too much to ask to take a few minutes during the day to remember those who have served the country.

“Like a lot of people, for a long time I never really thought of Memorial Day like I should,” she remembered.

“But I started getting involved in the

tribute, and that reminded me of the importance of gratitude for those who gave their lives for all of us.”

There’s a lot going on during Memorial Day weekend, as it has long served as the unofficial opening weekend of summer. People looking to spend time outside are spoiled for choice, and even while doing something like participating in a beer run, a community picnic, or even a huge Nerf battle, events like the tribute remind people what the day is all about.

The first Denver Memorial Day Tribute event was held on Memorial Day 2000 by Deb Ellis, following the death off her World War II vet father.

The event started out with more of a fair atmosphere, but 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror changed the vibe of the tribute. It became an event about the Gold Star families.

“I had attended the City and County of Denver’s Memorial Day Parade and I remember at the time being amazed that the parade was so poorly attended. The country seemed so complacent about military sacrifice — past or present,” Ellis said. “This year, there are more than 40 families that will attend the Tribute, and they

come from all over Colorado.”

The Tribute is now held indoors at the POF Hall, 1340 Sherman St. in Denver, just south of the Capitol, and will go from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 26. The event will feature musical tributes from the U.S. Navy Band Northwest Brass Quintet, soloist Rosemary White, violist Valerie Reives and more.

Then, there will be a seven-wreath remembrance ceremony honoring veterans and the fallen from all wars and presentations to the Gold Star families who have lost a loved one since the war on terror, complete with names, biographical information and a Navy bell tolling.

The ceremony is free and open to the public.

Those looking to show appreciation in a quieter way can volunteer at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 W. Kenyon Ave., to help lay flowers at the graves. The flower laying begins at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, May 28.

“It feels like Memorial Day has lost a lot of its meaning for many people,” Smith said. “It helps to remember what this day is for amidst everything that is happening over the weekend.”

hen most people come across creatures like a spider or a centipede, they probably don’t pause to appreciate the tools that enabled these animals to survive for millions of years.

But spend a little time at the Butterfly Pavilion’s new survival exhibit, and one will be able to learn all about the adaptability of these surprising animals. The Butterfly Pavilion, COMING 6252 W. 104th Ave. in ATTRACTIONS Westminster, unveiled its new “Survival” exhibit in March, and it will be on display for about a year.

“These animals have developed some amazing survival methods over countless years,” said pavilion entomologist MaClarke Reader rio Padilla. “Instead of being stuck in a box, we want to give visitors a chance to see how our animals move, feed and interact with their environment.”

The exhibit provides an intimate look at how a variety of invertebrates have developed survival skills in a variety of areas, focusing on moving, hiding, feeding and fighting, all in pursuit of a simple goal — staying alive.

The interactive exhibit shows how creatures like bees, beetles, spiders and more use camouflage, venom and other skills to eat, evade predators and attract mates. Visitors will get to use a dragonfly launch pad, fight in a simulated beetle battle, and get hands-on with Rosie the Tarantula.

“We think it’s really important to provide those hands-on experiences to visitors,” Padilla explained. “We work to ensure there’s a touch component to all of our exhibits.”

As is the case with everything the Butterfly Pavilion does, the hope is that visitors will come away with a greater appreciation for animals that so many people are afraid of or don’t understand.

“It’s taken millions of years for these animals to become what we recognize now,” Padilla said. “Not only do we hope our visitors appreciate these insects, but they also will want to do what they can to protect them.”

Video games inspire sculptor with works at Denver Botanic Gardens Steel and paint are mediums for expression in pieces on display

DON’T FORGET THE PLANTS Plant fans must not miss the very special Echiums, spotted around near the entrance at Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St. in Denver. Gardens CEO Brian Vogt commented that they looked like Dr. Seuss designed them, with tiny red flowers dotting them. It’s taken five years for the horticulture staff to master growing them, he said, after they came from the Canary Islands (Spanish territory, near Morocco).

Sculptor Mike Whiting brings his memories of vintage 1980s video games (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc.) into another realm as a visitor finds his oversized images amidst the flowers, trees and shrubs that ordinarily inhabit the lush, green Denver Botanic Gardens/York Street grounds in the “Pixelated” sculpture exhibit.

Gardens CEO Brian Vogt, a Littleton native, spoke before a press tour: “The relationship between human life and the natural world dates back 5,000 years … the power of nature, Mike’s video games … The games manipulate that world.”

Whiting said: “I had to fill in the blanks! ... Really, the whole world is pixelated.”

The sculptor arrived to lead a tour appropriately attired in a floral-printed shirt.

At the entrance to DBG, one meets “Ghost and Castle,” (2016) two pieces created with paint and steel, as are all 11 of Whiting’s sculptures tucked into the Gardens. “They are a visual palindrome,” he remarked as he started walking through his works, “the opposite of each other,” related to the game Castles.

“When developing ideas, I draw in Microsoft Paint,” Whiting said. “Then I go to a 3-D modeling program. The pieces are all welded from the inside, as well, and the finish is automotive paint for those under 1,000 pounds … I beat them up with sanders,” he

Mike Whiting’s Sculptures “Pinkie” and “Mr. Green” (steel and paint) are in the City of Denver collection, loaned to the “Pixelated” exhibit at Denver Botanic Gardens. Whiting said these early works are particular favorites.

“Bird” (2012), a very large avian image in robin’s egg blue, was commissioned for a bird-watching spot, he said, and the smaller, orange “Birdie” is exhibited at Brigham Young University (his school).

“Buck” (2007) is tucked into a grove of trees, the sort of setting you’d imagine finding a deer, munching on plants and grass. Loaned by the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, it is scratched and “feels like an old pickup truck,” Whiting observed. Asked if the scratches bothered him, he talked about “natural, but not nice …,” adding that “once sold, it’s not mine anymore.” A New York gallery owner bought one with graffiti, he recalled — “that’s part

“I grew up in the West, around lots of old cars …,” he said.

Along a path, reflected in the pond, one finds “Pinkie” and “Mr. Green” (2007), a pair of smaller sculptures,

loaned by the City and County of Denver. They are old and scuffed — and two of Whiting’s favorites. “Mr. Green” is after Whiting’s father-in-law.

smaller pieces are harder to fabricate,” he added, “a challenge to weld from the inside.”

The larger “Wave” (2018) was especially made for this exhibit and he was especially pleased with the siting of “Cactus” in the Rock Garden — “one of the most beautifully situated in the exhibit.”

It’s modeled after one he saw in a cactus house. Grasses connect with it visually and he was really thinking of a Tupperware color for “Wave,” as he created a page of drawings. “It was really hard to weld inside,’ he recalls.

Other pieces include the older, lavender “Pigeon,” a “Sailboat,” “Cathead” and “Garden Gnome” — of course!

exhibition — “Finding Home.” The exhibit features installations by three Denver artists whose artwork occupies three different rooms at the museum.

On display through July 8, the conceptual exhibition was created with the intent of starting a community dialogue about the ever-present and often tragic situation involving affordable housing in the region. The museum partnered with local governments to add depth and insight into the housing issue.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Taylor Swift at Sports Authority Field Colorado is a hot stop for touring musicians during the summer, which means concert goers are spoiled for choice when it comes to their evening plans. This week alone, you couldn’t go wrong with James Taylor at Fiddler’s Green on May 27, The Wonder Years

with Tigers Jaw and Tiny Moving Parts at the Ogden on May 30, or Gang of Youths at the Globe Hall on the same day.

But for my money, the best way to kick off the summer concert season is with one of pop’s reigning queens — Taylor Swift, who will be stopping by Sports Authority Field At Mile High, 1701 Bryant St., at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 25.

As if it wasn’t enough to have Swift, is who is undeniably a pop master of the highest order, she is bringing along Charli XCX and Camila Cabello. Last year, Charli XCX released two of pop’s best albums, by adding electronics and Swedish pop to her already insightful writing.

And this year Cabello stepped out of Fifth Harmony’s shadow, and her solo debut is one of my favorite albums of the year.

The concert is a guaranteed good time for all ages. Tickets are still available, so go to www.ticketmaster.com.

top of the rock troubadour pile, secondly only to Bob Dylan.

If his take on Irish folk wasn’t beautiful enough, his addition of jazz and soul sounds into everything he does adds a whole new layer of depth to his sound.

Unfortunately, he’s getting up there in years, and hasn’t really toured in a decade or more. And when he does, it costs an arm and a leg to score a ticket.

Thankfully, the Hi-Dive at 7 S. Broadway in Denver, is providing an alternative option with its Denver Plays Van Morrison concert at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 26.

The music of Van the Man will be performed that night by members of numerous local bands, including King Cardinal, Strange Americans, The Guestlist, Bud Bronson and the Good Timers, Sawmill Joe, Kid Reverie, Bison Bone, Bluebook, Robby Peoples, David Burchfield, Hunter James, and more.

Anyone who loves “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Have I Told You Lately?” and “Astral Weeks” won’t want to miss the show.

Run to the Trails In Motion Film Festival The warm spring and summer weather is perfect for all the trail runners in the metro area. But for those who want a taste of the trail running world without all the sweat and, you know, exercise, Golden is the place to go.

Some of the featured athletes will be on hand to speak and answer questions after their films.

STRESS FROM PAGE 10

“Even if they don’t respond in the moment, it plants a seed that you’ll hear them out. If kid says they’re in crisis, be mindful of your own reaction in that situation. A kid disclosing that going to be hypervigilant for your response. Be supportive, empathetic, but pragmatic,” Laux said.

Time frame not firm Stress spikes among kids can happen even earlier than the end of the school year, said Christine Casey Perry, the district mental health resource coordinator for Littleton Public Schools.

“We see our spikes in mental health crises in October and April,” Perry said. “People tend to link the October spike to the decrease in daylight. My own theory is that for those in school environments, the shine of the new school year has worn off. Maybe they’re struggling in classes, and it’s

still too far from the finish line to be hopeful.

“The same in the spring: There’s SATs, prom, and the finality of the end of the year looming.”

May is a breeze for Ashlynn Moore, a junior at Littleton High School.

“This is the least stressful part of the school year,” Moore said. “All I have to worry about is finals. I don’t worry about much else.”

Moore said her stress peaked in April, when her anxiety over performing well on the SATs left her sleepdeprived for days on end.

“I was obsessed with getting a good score because that’s what colleges care about,” Moore said. “I had to retake the test because I did so poorly. I lost focus because I was so tired, and I was trying to make that up with energy drinks.”

Moore’s experience isn’t uncommon, Laux said, nor is her coping method: hanging out with friends.

“Peers tend to become teens’ primary support group.,” Laux said.

Running beneath student stress is the undercurrent of social media-

induced anxieties, Perry said.

“Social media is a rough beast to battle with,” Perry said. “It can give outsized impressions of issues: It can make it look like everyone’s life is perfect, and on the flip side, it can make it look like everyone’s on drugs.”

More than a statistic Mental health is hard to quantify, with numbers perhaps telling only a partial story.

Suicide interventions — which mean only that a mental health provider was worried enough to ask a student if they were considering suicide, not that the student made a suicide attempt — are up sharply at Littleton schools this year, jumping from roughly 200 at this time last year to roughly 300 this year.

Again, Perry said, correlation doesn’t necessarily equal causation, and the spike might simply be due to more kids being comfortable seeking mental health care.

Still, Perry said young folks today have more on their minds.

“This is a more anxious and

stressed-out generation,” Perry said.

“The impacts of being interconnected digitally but not in real life is having impacts on students.”

Schools are stepping up their game when it comes to addressing mental health issues, Perry said.

Littleton, for instance, now plays host to a student-led effort called Sources of Strength, which reaches out to kids showing signs of struggling, and works to promote a culture of support and resilience, Perry said.

The focus on mental health issues can obscure the reality that the majority of kids are getting by just fine, Perry said.

“There’s a narrative that all kids are struggling,” Perry said. “There’s been some increase, but the majority of kids are doing OK. When we look at our surveys, our students scored really high feeling safe and comfortable at school.”

Moore, the high school junior, said she’s looking forward to the end of the school year.

“I’m good now,” Moore said. “The SATs are done.”

“It seems like people aren’t as interested as getting together as a community anymore,” said Jolene Rheault, public relations director with Community Builders.

“We want people to be proud of their community and know that everyone can get together to have a good time for something like Memorial Day.” Attendees are invited to bring a picnic or sample some of the wares at one of the largest gathering of food trucks in Highlands Ranch.

There will also be a beer and wine garden featuring selections from local breweries and wineries and live acoustic music.

There will also be traditional field day and carnival games, as well as a kickball and golf chipping contest that can be entered for cash prizes as well as prizes from local businesses.

“We’d like this to become an annual event we do for the community every summer,” Rheault added. “It was partly inspired by the field day that kids have at school, and we want to keep providing this kind of free event for kids

COURTESY PHOTO and their parents.”

Those searching for a little more active way to enjoy the outdoors won’t want to miss

the Memorial Day Nerf battle in Englewood. The event is for those 5 years old and older.

Hosted at Cornerstone Park, 5150 S. Windemere St., beginning at 10 a.m. on May 28, the event is a kind

of summer kickoff for Battle Zone — a mobile Nerf arena company since 2015.

Finally, something a little more adult happening over the weekend is the Red, White and Brew Run with Grist Brewing.

Rocky Mountain Brew Runs is hosting the event at Grist, 9150 Commerce Center Circle, Suite 300, in Highlands Ranch. The run begins at 10 p.m. on Sunday, May 27, and is designed to be open for everyone.

“This is a social fun run to celebrate the start of summer, and people can bring kids in a stroller and dogs, and just walk if they want to,” said Lauren Jones, event coordinator with Rocky Mountain Brew Runs. “We also have fun and silly beer Olympic games that are a lot of fun for people.”

The four-mile run finishes up with an ice-cold brew and food trucks, and all the proceeds benefit local nonprofits Epic Experience and Vet Expeditions.

“These kinds of events bring out more people than just some competitive 5K,” Jones said. “It’s fun to watch or participate in a familyfriendly, dog friendly event and then try some craft brews afterward.”

CRASH FROM PAGE 11

A preliminary report from the NTSB could be available in the next couple of weeks.

Marquis owned Tiara Rado Animal Hospital in Grand Junction and served on the Mesa County Search and Rescue ground team. He is being remembered on social media as a kind, caring man who helped countless people.

From the Tiara Rado Animal Hospital Facebook page: “Tiara Rado Animal Hospital has lost an incredibly smart and energetic veterinarian yesterday. Dr. Marquis was the most caring person we all have known and to work with. He

touched so many of us with his kind heart as well as our furry family members. We all are truly blessed to have known such a wonderful man.

He will forever hold a special place in so many of our hearts. Dr. Marquis you will be missed. We all loved you so dearly.”

The Mesa County Search and Rescue team also expressed their condolences via Facebook.

“We are deeply saddened today. We lost one of our own. Bob Marquis was killed in a plane crash... Bob was a great team member and dear friend that served on our team for many years and was truly a great person.

Always a smile on his face... He was the kindest of souls. Bob was the best of the best. He will be missed greatly by all of us that served with him and knew him as a friend.”

Van Maanen snapping for chance to play in NFL

D Class 5A 100-meter champion Devin Cadena of Rock Canyon is flanked by Cherry Creek’s third-place finisher Marcus Miller, right, and second-place finisher Deondre Ritter of Fountain Fort Carson.

JIM BENTON

Cherry Creek 4x100 relay team wins state track title STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek junior Marcus Miller was a contender most of the final day of the Class 5A state track meet on May 19 at Jeffco Stadium.

Miller was third in the 100 meters and fourth in the 200 meters, but finally got to stand on the top of the awards podium as part of the Bruins’ state champion 4x100 relay team.

Dimitri Stanley, Andrew Wilson-

axpe, Kyle Hanlan and Miller locked down the state title with a time of 42.46 on a rainy, cold final day of the three-day meet.

“We ran pretty well on a cold day,” said Miller. “You have to warm up longer before the race, but it’s state.

You just have to go out and compete. Everybody is running in the same weather. The competition was good.”

The Creek boys finished second in the team standings with 71 points.

The Bruins girls team was sixth.

Delaney Smith of Cherry Creek, the defending 300-meter hurdles champion, was third and she finished fourth in the 100 hurdles.

Littleton senior Brittany Line earned all the team points for the Lions with a fourth-place finish in the 4A shot put with a 38-05.00 effort.

Arapahoe’s Faythe Sheffield was seventh in the 5A shot put competition with a throw of 36-09.50.

State track and field: how they finished

SEE RESULTS, P25

rew Van Maanen knew he was facing long odds heading into the three-day rookie camp of the National Football League Houston Texans in early May. First of all, the former Chaparral football standout was an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming.

And second, he is a fullback which is a disappearing position these days OVERTIME in the National Football League. But he is a long snapper and hoped his versatility might be attractive to the Texans or some other NFL team.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t get invited Jim Benton back,” said Van Maanen. “I really enjoyed my time down there. I was in an NFL locker room. I’m going to stay in shape and my agent will try to make something work out somewhere else. So it’s a waiting game right now.”

With spread offenses, many high school and college teams don’t regularly use fullbacks and many NFL teams have virtually eliminated the position. However, some teams still have prominent fullbacks, and flexibility is important.

Fullbacks play on special teams, block, carry the ball in short yardage situations and sometimes are secondary receiving targets.

Van Maanen was a four-year fullback at Wyoming and a backup long snapper until an injury forced him to snap full-time on special teams during his 2017 senior season. He caught 14 passes for 170 yards in four years, ran the ball twice for five yards and was the team captain his senior season.

“Fullback is not a glorified position in the NFL,” said Van Mannen. “It’s not used a whole lot. So I knew going in it was going to be a tough task.

But long snapping is something even moving forward that I can bring to the table. I knew it was going to be a long road, but if you love the game, you give everything to try to make the team.

“I worked on snaps every day in practice at Wyoming. Anytime I can get on the field, I like that opportunity, no matter if is special teams, long snapping or fullback.”

Area swimmers post strong showings at state STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek was third at the Class 5A state swimming championship to lead all teams from the south metro area.

The Bruins finished with 208.50 points, which was 82 points shy of state champion Regis Jesuit. Fossil Ridge was second in the team standings during the meet, which was held May 18-19 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

Arapahoe was the fourth-place team, Highlands Ranch fifth and Ponderosa seventh.

At the Class 4A championships at the Air Force Academy, Valor Christian was the top area team with a sixth-place finish.

Junior Brendan Eckerman paced Cherry Creek with a second-place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 46.61 and placed fourth in the 200 IM in 1:52.57.

Eckerman’s finish along, with Ponderosa’s Blake Wilton second place in the 100 butterfly, were the highest individual finishes in 5A for area swimmers.

Freshman Clayton Chaplin of Highlands Ranch was third in the diving competition as he totaled 539.45 points while Arapahoe’s Caleb Ives came in sixth.

Wilton, a junior, was second in the 100 butterfly with a time of 48.95 to edge Ty Coen of Regis for the runner-up spot. Wilton was seventh in the 200 freestyle.

The Arapahoe 200 medley relay team of Collin Hayes, Jack Berdahl, Josher Rowe and Ben Brewer was second with a time of 1:33.74.

Gavin Rogers was sixth in the 100 butterfly and the 500 freestyle to pace Valor Christian in the 4A state meet. Caleb Kim was seventh in the 50 freestyle.

Ponderosa junior Blake Wilton swims in a 200-yard freestyle preliminary heat at the 5A boys championships on May 18 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.
