Art show illustrates struggle of child with special needs Boy with autism, Tourette’s opens his mind to community in exhibition at cafe

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What started as a simple assignment in Rylan Vogelzang’s homeschooling turned into his first small business and a way for him to express his complicated condition.

For a homeschooling assignment, Rylan visited local businesses to interview owners about entrepreneurship. He especially enjoyed speaking with Lennon Villarose, owner of Charm 3 Café at 2514 E. Arapahoe Road. He was so inspired while speaking to Villarose that he decided to start his own business; Rylan wanted to become an artist.

While Rylan wanted to focus his drawings on Pokémon, his mom, Gwenyth Vogelzang, encouraged him to create artwork that expressed what it was like inside his brain.

Rylan, 10, lives with autism and Tourette’s syndrome. The goal, Gwenyth said, was to educate others about what it is like to live with special needs.

“We decided to center the art show around what it looks like and feels like to be in (Rylan’s) brain,” Gwenyth said. “He has a hard time expressing himself socially day to day. This is a way for him to express himself, earn some money, donate some money and teach people.”

Once Villarose saw Rylan’s artwork, she was an instant fan.

“When I first saw all his work, I was getting choked up,” Villarose said. “It was cool to see (Rylan’s) perspective. You get a better idea of what it is like to go through his things on a daily basis.”

Villarose donated the walls of her café to help Rylan host his first art show, which took place on July 7 and will remain on display until the middle of August.

“Giving back to the community is definitely one of the reasons I opened a business,” Vogelzang said.

“We are a small, family-owned shop,

Rylan kept half the money from his sold artwork and donated the rest to the Tourette Association of America.

“I did this art show because I want to show off my art,” Rylan said. “I also did it because I have special needs and people might want to know what it is like to have Tourette’s and be like me. That is important because people tell me to stop being me sometimes.”

Visitors to the gallery were inspired by the artwork.

“I personally have a multitude of friends who have similar conditions,” said Cameron Unks. “Reading something like this, especially from the perspective of a younger kid is super cool” Rylan’s words Rylan used the platform of art to express who he is and how he sees the world differently. He described

each work of art with details regarding how it depicts his condition.

In one of his paintings, he expressed how video games “massaged” his brain after he gets frustrated.

“I like any kind of screen because it is my thing,” said Rylan in an art description. “I was born to love screens. I can figure out how things work really well. That is my giftedness Mom tells me. Screens don’t make my brain too tired and it massages my brain muscles to relax.”

Rylan also opened up about his Tourette’s syndrome, comparing his motions, or tics, to a sneeze, cough or hiccup.

“You can’t control these things and I can’t control my tics,” said Rylan in an art description.” I don’t mean to do my tics, but my body feels uncomfortable inside in the spot where I have to do the tic. The tic makes me feel comfortable again.”

Rylan opened up about his sensitivities to physical contact.

“When I get touched, it feels like

needles or nails poking my skin,” said Rylan in an art description. “It doesn’t really hurt, but it’s uncomfortable. When I know someone is about to touch me, it feels like I am about to get a shot. I might move my body to get away.”

Excessive noise, for Rylan, takes a toll on him.

“When I am in a loud room, the hearing part on my brain is so big that I can hear all the noise,” said Rylan in an art description. “Like every sound, like a huge scream.

The only thing I can’t hear are the footprints of a bug.”

Rylan’s paintings and pieces went on to talk about fighting with siblings, needing many breaks from learning and how joy is Rylan’s most prominent emotion.

“I think I have two joys in my brain,” said Rylan in an art description. “…Like, I do get angry, but not a lot and it goes away fast because all my other thoughts take over like a snap. God made me to have all that joy inside.”

South Suburban looks to future of parks

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District is looking to the future to provide the antidote to the increasingly sedentary and crowded lifestyle of the south metro suburbs.

The district administers public parks, recreation centers and sports leagues across a wide area that includes Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial, Lone Tree, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley. The district recently published its first-ever comprehensive districtwide master plan, a document that takes stock of the district’s resources and amenities and provides guidance for the future.

So far, things are looking good, said Brett Collins, South Suburban’s director of planning and development.

“What we found is that overall people are happy with the program offerings, they like the facilities, they like the parks and trails,” Collins said. “Our users have lots of passion. Compared to much of the Front Range, we have an above-average level of service, and we have more parkland 17-CLIN-1555 9.625x6 Ad.pdf and trail offerings.”

South Suburban maintenance crews keep Little’s Creek Park trimmed on July 24. South Suburban Parks and Recreation District released its first-ever district-wide comprehensive master plan recently. DAVID GILBERT Collins said the master plan also helped clarify the challenges faced by the 58-year-old district, with parks and recreation facilities aging.

Many facilities and programs are often operating at full capacity, the report says.

Between budget year 201314 and 2015-16, batting cage rentals climbed 58 percent, fitness class registration was up 38 percent and adult hockey increased from 41 teams to 52.

The district anticipates the population within its boundaries will grow by nearly 10,000 1 2021.

7/12/17 3:56 ,PM by Currently the mas-

ter plan says, 12 percent of children in the district get no regular physical activity.

The report identifies 10 “opportunities” for how to allocate funds and resources in coming years, based on responses from focus groups and surveys: • Improve recreation facilities • Renovate or construct new indoor athletic fields • Expand nature recreation opportunities • Increase adult activity program offerings • Conserve open space and water resources

Here when you’re expecting something extraordinary.

Women’s care and 23 other specialties.

Lone Tree Medical Center 720.848.2200 | 9548 Park Meadows Drive | Lone Tree, CO 80124

• Upgrade aquatic facilities • Improve community parks and multipurpose fields • Renew playgrounds • Increase sustainable energy • Improve trail connections and signage Collins said the district’s resources were strained during the Great Recession, and many of the opportunity areas fell by the wayside. With the economy on better footing, the district anticipates being able to work on delayed projects.

Still, funding is always an issue, Collins said. The district’s funds come from property taxes, and Collins said the district has been examining the idea of extending some of its mill levies to become permanent, and extending existing bond debt to fund additional projects and address deferred maintenance.

A survey of South Suburban’s facilities found that while most are in at least fair condition, several fell short.

“Poor” ratings were given to the Family Sports Dome, Harlow Park Outdoor Pool, Littleton Golf and Tennis Center, Lone Tree Golf Clubhouse and Hotel, Sheridan Recreation Center and an administration building and service center.

Collins said the poor ratings often reflect roof or HVAC problems.

South Suburban would also like to improve its open space offerings, Collins said, though that may prove tough.

“There are very few opportunities to acquire open space land in the district,” Collins said. “It’s pretty landlocked at this point. There’s just so much development, and no big parcels available.”

The district would also like to continue its efforts toward sustainable and renewable energy, Collins said. The master plan indicates the district has already made headway, with energy use and water consumption down across the district.

Other goals include helping children connect with nature with an increased focus on more rugged parkland, such as in Littleton’s Lee Gulch and Creekside Experience parks.

“That’s been a movement in the last four or five years,” Collins said. “People like to see their kids go play in a stream, or in rocks, or walk across logs rather than the more rigid play equipment. It helps get them away from phones and iPads and so on.”

Young fencers get parried away Douglas County kids’ swordplay takes them to national tournament

A

group of youths recently went to the largest fencing tournament in the history of the sport, but it was more important to their coach that they come home with happy memories than medals.

“The most rewarding part is just seeing their growth,” said Elliott Clinton, head coach at the Fencing Academy of Parker. “It’s not only about seeing them grow as fencers.

It’s about seeing them grow as people. I try to teach them more than fencing. I try to be a role model.”

Speaking in short, brief sentences that mimic the thrusts and parries employed as fencers practice behind him, Clinton explained that the eight fencers from the academy may not have won any hardware, but they came home with something more important.

“These kids put their heart and soul into this,” Clinton said. “There’s no better feeling in this world than bringing a child to a tournament and to see all you’ve worked for with them over hours and hours and see it click.”

Local pet store raises money for avalanche rescue teams

their noses and detect the scent of a human buried in snow. They are trained in riding chairlifts, snowmobiles and snowcats.

An avalanche dog is a vital part of the three-piece deployment team — it can search several acres in about 30 minutes, whereas it would take about 20 humans using avalanche probes four hours to cover a similar area, according to C-RAD. C-RAD’s members include ski patrollers and rescue team personnel of Summit County and surrounding mountain towns. The organization works with several counties to deliver help at a moment’s notice: at 15 minutes, about nine in 10 people buried in an avalanche can survive, according to Colorado Avalanche Information Center. By 30 minutes, only 50 percent survive.

Funds raised by Chuck and Don’s, which can be made at any location until July 31, will provide scholarship opportunities for C-RAD members to attend training programs across the U.S. and go towards upcoming courses held in Summit County.

Training opportunities strengthen C-RAD’s deployment teams, said Doug Lesch, outreach coordinator of C-RAD. “We all dove into this world because of the passion to work alongside other professionals and amazing dogs in finding people in the snow,” Lesch said. “It is because of the support of organizations like Chuck and Don’s, as well as communities all over the state, that we have been able to provide outstanding training opportunities and courses designed to bring our deployment teams to the next level.”

CALM AFTER THE STORM

ia

Connor Kuybus lost his dad to an avalanche three years ago. Still, the 16-year-old has a positive outlook on life. An avid skier and outdoorsman, Kuybus enjoys learning new activities and keeping busy at work. And when his employer announced its annual fundraising campaign, he said he couldn’t have been happier.

“I really enjoy being able to raise money for something that is so close to me,” said Kuybus, who works at Chuck and Don’s Pet Food and Supplies, 4008 Red Cedar Drive, in Highlands Ranch.

For the month of July, all nine metro area Chuck and Don’s locations are taking donations for Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment (C-RAD), a nonprofit organization started in 2016

by Flight for Life Colorado to train avalanche deployment teams, which consist of a snow technician or patrol, a dog handler and an avalanche rescue dog. To date, Chuck and Don’s Colorado stores have raised about $25,000.

The pet store picked the organization for its Raising Awareness campaign, an annual effort to give back to the community. Since its inception in 2013, the campaign has raised nearly $540,000 for organizations in Minnesota and Colorado, where stores are located, according to a Chuck and Don’s representative.

At a company meeting prior to the start of this year’s campaign, Cecilia Auch, store manager of Chuck and Don’s Highlands Ranch, came face-toface with one of C-RAD’s avalanche dogs. She described the cattle dog with its long tail and pointed snout as sweet and smart.

“What was so amazing is that in her 10 years she has rescued 60 people,” said Auch. “How often do you hear of a situation like that?”

The project has also replaced pedestrian bridges along the High Line Canal Trail at three other locations: South Bannock Street and West Ridge Road, in Littleton; and South Suburban Ice Arena and deKoevend parking lot in Centennial.

SUICIDE

FROM PAGE 8

For Chapin, the rocks keep Katerina’s memory alive — she keeps some “special ones” that she looks at every day.

Painting “the rocks was very therapeutic and made me feel like I was doing something worthwhile in a situation where I felt helpless,” Chapin said. “Kat was one of my very close friends. I knew no matter what that I could talk to her about anything, and she would have advice for me ... she was one of my best friends.”

On May 29, when Graham’s father and Garcia’s husband were making a memory box for Graham, her mother decided to track the rocks because they appeared to be traveling all over.

So Garcia started the Facebook page the next day and began tracking the rocks on a map website. To date, the group has more than 2,300 members, many of whom post pictures of the rocks they paint. Nearly 200 have dropped pins on the map to mark their locations.

Her mother also wanted the rocks to be a feature of Graham’s June 23 memorial service. She and and Garcia bought 500 rocks from Home Depot and — with help from mem-

bers at Graham’s old dance studio and her brothers’ gymnastics studio — painted 500 rocks for the event.

People at the service took the rocks home to place somewhere else.

Garcia called it a “Live for Kat” challenge.

So far, the rocks have made it to three continents — North America, Europe and Africa — and places in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, to name a few.

Some have taken the rocks, with messages such as “Dance for Kat” and “Play for Kat,” on vacation.

Dancers at a studio in Kansas, where Graham used to live, painted rocks and posted a video that broadcast those ideas June 3 — it challenged other studios to do the same.

And a dance studio in Australia painted an “inspiration wall” in the studio after finding out about Graham’s story.

The Facebook group has received messages from people who have attempted suicide or who have known someone who committed suicide, as well as from people of all ages who come across the page.

For her mother, that’s what the effort is all about.

“If Katerina’s story has helped even one person,” Amie Graham said, “then the rock painting is worth it.”

SPREADING KINDNESS THROUGH ROCKS The idea of painting rocks with positive messages spread on social media when The Kindness Rocks Project’s Facebook page started in 2015. That page now has

more than 30,000 followers, and countless other Facebook groups and pages — many in locales around the United States — have adopted the idea as well.

VOICES

The sound of disapproval leads to personal removal

o boo is not taboo. To boo is human.

But what’s the point? The point is to express disapproval when there are no other options.

You are at a Rockies game, and the opposing pitcher throws to first, to hold the runner.

You boo. Why? An opposing coach or the manager walks to the mound to talk with the pitcher.

You boo. Why? “It’s tradition.”

Or maybe it’s because the guy next to you is booing, and the guy next to him is booing, and the guy next to him is booing. There is something about a collective that validates individual behavior.

Do you laugh in a comedy club because some-

thing is genuinely amusing, or do you laugh because others are laughing?

“Others are laughing” is the theory behind one of the most despicable, condescending, demeaning artifices of television.

The laugh track. If it has one, I don’t watch it.

Booing, audibly expressing a thumb’s down, has been around for a long time.

If the court jester came out and said, “Take my wife, please,” he could have and should have been yanked from stage right by a long-handled hook, amid elderly tomatoes in the air at his head. Along with boos.

In the coliseum, a thumb’s down may have meant that you were to become a lion’s kabob, Bob. The etymology of “boo” dates from 1738

Scotland, when a writer named Jacob Curate used it as a word to scare children. Thereafter, ghosts picked up on it, and so did the children in Arthur Radley’s neighborhood.

When baseball came along, booing took on a new connotation. You’re not really trying to scare the Cubs or the Tigers, are you?

I have yet to boo. I am waiting for the perfect moment. Actually there have been plenty of perfect moments already, if I believed in booing. But I don’t. As you know by now, I disapprove of many things. Booing seems senseless.

I have this forum, however, and that enables me to boo, as it were, without booing.

s a lifelong fan of music, I have developed an appreciation for music that spans almost every genre. Everything from country to classical, clasWINNING sic rock to Southern rock, reggae to blues, WORDS and jazz to hymns.

And as I was listening to an old favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd tune, “Gimme Three Steps,” it made me think of something just a little different.

Part of the lyrics go like this: Michael Norton “Oh won’t you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, gimme three steps toward the door? Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister and you’ll never see me no more.”

For some reason I thought about the “three steps” request in the song and related it to something I have been thinking about for a long time. I often think that we overlook the simplest things that we can be doing in our lives or saying to others in our lives that would have a positive impact and could easily be done in three steps, and more importantly three seconds or less. And yet we lose sight of that as we try and keep up with the rush and crush of life.

The spoken word is wonderful,

especially when coupled with the right tonality. I mean we can all tell if someone is sincere, hurt, kind, angry, or inspired just by the way they speak.

Yet we can also tell if they are bored or have become complacent. Think about the last time someone told you “I love you,” and you replied in return, “I love you too.” Did you receive the message of love as passionate and connected to a true feeling, whether it was romance, friendship or a family bond? And did your reply come off as sincere, caring and loving or did it sound flat, mundane, compliant? Huge difference right?

In the lyrics to the song above, pay attention to the last part of the lyrics, “Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister and you’ll never see me no more.” Well if we don’t give those closest to us and most important to us, at the very least three seconds of our heart, we may never see them no more as well. Words can build us up or tear us down or apart, and it only takes three seconds or less to accomplish either.

You may want to remember this list, take a picture of it, or just cut it out from the paper so you have it. Maybe just write down a few of your favorites so you can be reminded to put them into use, and definitely create your own list as well. And if you do create

Plan has potential of moving ACA replacement forward

his is no time to give up on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, but it is a time to dramatically alter the approach and try again.

On July 11, I sent a GUEST letter to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan COLUMN and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggesting that Republicans revisit our approach to the ACA and break the effort into three separate initiatives.

The first, under the budget reconciliation Mike Coffman process, would limit changes to Medicaid to only the ACA-created Medicaid expansion program and apply any savings as an offset for the taxes and penalties that impact working and middle-class families; the second bill, also under budget reconciliation, would move all other ACA-related taxes out of the healthcare debate and into the pending tax reform bill; and the third would address the failing health insurance exchanges where individuals not

eligible for Medicaid and who do not have employer-provided health insurance now go for coverage. This part should be negotiated in a bipartisan manner outside of the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation process.

Medicaid expansion: As noted above, the traditional Medicaid program is a shared responsibility with costs divided about evenly between the federal government and the states. Under the ACA, the Medicaid expansion program has the federal government’s share starting at 100 percent and phasing down to 90 percent by 2020. It makes no sense to me that the federal government would favor able-bodied adults over all other Medicaid recipients, such as disabled children, whose costs are reimbursed at 50 percent by the federal government.

The ACA’s Medicaid expansion needs to revert to the standard Medicaid cost share that the states receive for all other Medicaid enrollees. This could be done by phasing it into effect by allowing all Medicaid expansion enrollees up to January 2020 to remain at the 90/10 split indefinitely while all new enrollees from January 2020 are at the standard reimbursement rate for each respective state (50 percent in

Colorado). The abled-bodied Medicaid expansion enrollees are ideal candidates for Republican reform efforts such as capitated reimbursement rates and block grants to move the program away from being an archaic fee-for-service model to achieve better outcomes at lower cost.

Tax reform: There are 21 taxes and penalties in the ACA, many of which have nothing to do with health care.

The ACA taxes on higher income Americans, such as the 3.8 percent surtax on net investment income, are better addressed in the impending tax reform bill, not during the healthcare debate.

Health insurance reform: The ACA promised lower health insurance rates but we all know that never materialized. Now the healthcare exchanges, created under the ACA, are failing as health insurance carriers are losing money on the plans offered through the exchanges — with more and more

of them dropping out of the program.

When there are no carriers willing to provide policies for a certain state or region serviced by an exchange, the program collapses and consumers lose the ability to buy income-adjusted subsidized policies. I believe this is an area where Republicans and Democrats can come together to find a bipartisan solution that works to lower health insurance costs while maintaining consumer protections such as pre-existing conditions.

Right now we in Congress have a bipartisan opportunity to “fix” the many problems Americans have in obtaining access to affordable health care and to responsibly address the unsustainable cost of the ACA’s Medicaid expansion.

From Broomfield to Golden to Castle Rock, bands endure struggles for love of music

he struggles can be many for teen bands: They can’t book gigs in traditional bar venues because they’re too young. They have to juggle their music with school, athletics, family and jobs. They can’t guarantee they’ll stick together after graduation.

But their passion — and perserverance — quickly makes the challenges fade away.

“All these kids have dreams of becoming a musician, so it’s important for

people to support them,” said Cadence Fisher, 15, a bassist with Skeleton Dolls, a Golden-based alternative rock band that consists of herself and her two sisters.

“Just because we’re young, it doesn’t mean we’re going to be terrible.”

Skeleton Dolls, which recently performed at the Buffalo Rose, is one of many teen bands livening up the music scene across the metro-Denver area: On the north end of town you can find bands such as Broomfield-based Oblivate, and south in Castle Rock the band Over the Castle holds court.

“Starting early gives aspiring musicians the experience to become more motivated and driven to continue with music,” said Abby Cracraft, 16, a bassist with Obliviate. “We will be contributing to the music scene for years to come.”

Obliviate’s five members range in age from 15 to 17.

Besides Cracraft, there’s

Leadville train rides are trip into wonder Mountain scenery, wildflower views take breath away

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From the old red brick depot at Seventh and Hazel in Leadville (at 10,200 feet above sea level), one can enjoy a scenic train ride on the High Line of the Leadville, Colorado and Southern Railroad into the Mosquito Range.

Makes a great day trip for families.

It climbs up into the mountains, with a sweeping view of Mount Elbert, Mount Massive, Galena Mountain and Homestake Peak (the latter two are on the Continental Divide).

The peaks rise above the green valley of the East Fork of the Arkansas

River headwaters, marked by mining dumps, weathered buildings and historic stories galore. Leadville was once the largest mining town in the state, shipping out tons of ore.

The tracks were built during a snowy winter, in a bitter race between the Denver South Park and Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande for completion. (Stories developed here and through the years, involving numerous colorful characters.) Tracks once carried ore from surrounding mines, as well as passenger trains that went to Denver, where one could connect to cities across the nation.

The view of the peaks and valley is spellbinding, but one will also want to look closer along the tracks — where aspen and spruce trees grow among a great variety of bright wildflowers, including red and yellow paintbrush, blue harebells, lavender asters, clusters of lovely blue columbine and

many more. (There is a special threehour Wildflower Tour at 10 a.m. on July 29 and Aug. 5, with tickets selling for $52.)

Rocks along the tracks hold large patches of brilliant yellow and orange lichen, and glacial debris is evident in some cuts. The literature about the train trip speaks of sightings of assorted animals along the way, but our articulate young conductor/tour guide speculated that since the train is so noisy, he imagines they all watch from afar!

The Leadville train departs daily at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the summer and at 1 p.m. weekdays from Aug. 18 to Oct. 8 — two trips on weekend days. The round trip takes two and a half hours.

Cars are both roofed and open and kids romped through the aisles happily, stopping in the box car for snacks, souvenirs and bathrooms.

Choose the seats facing Mount Mas-

sive when at the depot.

Tickets cost $37, adult; $20 ages 4-14; free 3 and under. Special fall threehour weekend tours at 10 and 2 are also available ($52). Call 719-486-3936 or see leadvillerailroad.com.

Many talented young musicians and teen bands are performing throughout the Denver-metro area. Here are just a few:

they send videos and audio recordings to each other in a group message.

Performances are planned out well in advance, Cracraft said, and because Globalsound Studio — the band’s manager and producer — takes care of all the booking, “all we have to focus on is the music.”

Being in a band creates a special kind of unity, said Aria Fisher, 12, who drums with Skeleton Dolls along with sisters Cadence and Harmony, who plays the guitar. All three sing vocals.

“It’s fun to play with people and connect in that way,” Aria said. “Music is something that brings everyone together.”

But there’s no guarantee successful bands will stay together after high school.

“Anything we can get our hands on, we’ll take,” he said.

The band usually performs in public, family-friendly events such as community festivals.

“A lot of people don’t take you seriously until they see you perform. But then afterwards, they come up to you and shake your hand. I think that’s great.”

Heartland Emmy Award Pianist Composer Lisa Downing, of Littleton, won a Heartland Emmy Award at the Denver gala on July 15.

She was honored for her solo composition, “The Torii Gates,” motivated by gates that washed away from Japan in a 2011 tsunami and eventually washed up on the coast of Oregon, where they were taken to the Portland Japanese Garden, where they were identified, repaired and eventually returned to a Japanese village. It can be seen on Downing’s Youtube channel.

COURTESY IMAGE

Parents Selected to Lead Developmental Pathways Board of Directors Last month, the Board of Directors for Developmental Pathways elected 4 new officers, 3 of whom are parents of people supported by Developmental Pathways. Not only do these officers hold a deep understanding of the nonprofit organization, but they also share the experience of caring for a loved one with a developmental disability/delay, making them especially qualified to guide the organization that supports more than 7,000 individuals with developmental disabilities/delays annually.

Developmental Pathways would also like to honor their outgoing officers. These leaders guided the organization through a period of tremendous change and growth. Former President of the Board, Tim Moore, oversaw the largest growth in staff and people served in the history of Developmental Pathways and helped in a transition to new executive leadership. Outgoing Vice President JoAnne Zboyan and Secretary Lynn Myers, likewise, provided crucial leadership and advanced the mission of Developmental Pathways throughout the community. Tim, JoAnne, and Lynn helped shift perspective to the future towards becoming thought leaders in a changing landscape for the people they serve. All 3 former officers will remain on the Board.

Newly elected Board Officers include Tim Batz, Kristin Hoover, Mayre Lynn Schmit, and Beth Klein.

Assuming the role of President is Tim Batz, a Risk Control Adviser at IMA, Inc. and dad to a celebrated athlete supported by Pathways. Vice President is Lieutenant Colonel (R) Kristin Hoover, senior consultant for Allardice Enterprises, Inc. and mom to two sons, one of whom is supported by Developmental Pathways.

Mayre Lynn Schmit assumes the role of Board Secretary. Schmit is a registered dental hygienist practicing in the Denver metro area for the past 3 decades and also has a son in Pathways’ care. Beth Klein is the only continuing officer and is aptly commissioned as Treasurer, considering her role as a Senior Vice President at FirstBank. Pathways is truly grateful for her continued dedication to the Board.

Developmental Pathways is honored to have a group of leaders whose unique vantage points help strengthen their organization.

To learn more about Developmental Pathways and how they support individuals with developmental disabilities/delays, visit their website at www.dpcolo.org

Much-loved musical ‘Annie’ being staged by Phamaly Top-flight Denver theater will be venue for production

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

That optimistic little red-headed girl, Annie, part of our cultural fabric since Harold Gray’s popular comic strip started in the 1920s, will once more overcome the difficulties of life as an orphan in the Depression era this summer — in Phamaly Theatre Company’s production of the musical, “Annie.”

The popular, family-friendly piece,

by Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charmin, first appeared on Broadway in 1977 and has been charming audiences across the nation and around the world since then. While local theater companies find new audiences for it every-so-many years, there was a Broadway revival in 2013 and one this year in London’s West End.

— both physical and emotional — and who want to participate in professional performances.

Even the pair of canine actors who alternate as Sandy, Annie’s stray dog companion, conform: Daisy is an amputee lab mix and Sonny, a small mix who lost his eyes to glaucoma. (The last time Phamaly had a canine actor was in “The Wiz” — which featured Leonard Barrett making his entrance on stilts as the lead.)

The lead role of Annie will be played

by Maria Ciobanu, while veteran performer/jazz singer Leonard Barrett will play Daddy Warbucks, the lonely millionaire who eventually adopts our girl. Longtime Phamaly member Jenna Bainbridge, originally from Douglas County, who has gone on to a professional career from her start with the company, will be Grace, Warbucks’ secretary. (She recently appeared in Arvada’s “Jesus Christ Superstar.”)

Cranky orphanage supervisor Miss Hannigan will be played by Ashley Kelashian.

South area cast members are Barrett and Lisa Gough, of Littleton, and Lucy Roucis, of Englewood, whose Phamaly membership goes back many years.

Gough, 48, who is new this year, said she overheard the previous artistic director’s wife talking about Phamaly at a restaurant and received an enthusiastic “yes” when she “timidly asked” if she might join. She says she has not acted onstage since gradeschool days, although she attended CU Denver as a vocal performance major.

She has modeled and been a vocalist, but suffered from a brain injury and the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

“I am emotionally retarded,” she said. An 80-pound German shepherd named Angel is her service dog, an alpha-dog who keeps Gough connected as she finds a family in Phamaly, volunteering as well as performing.

“I just sometimes don’t have a filter … Whatever life throws at you, there are always people who see you for who you are,” she concluded in a June phone call.

SPORTS

Changing lanes Bowling attracting more people as a social activity than as a sport

BY JIM BENTON | JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

s time wears on, all sports evolve — and bowling has definitely changed.

Nowhere is that more evident than in the facilities themselves.

Bowling used to be primarily a blue-collar sport that was driven by league and tournament bowlers, with food and beverage sales boosting the profitability. Now many bowling centers are social, family entertainment centers that appeal to the younger generation.

At least one study says the number of people who bowl has been on the upswing in recent years.

But for those who come to the lanes to focus on rolling a high score — often as part of league play — the trend of bowling alleys becoming social centers isn’t a selling point.

“It’s always neat to see what they are doing new, but I’m a traditionalist when it comes to bowling,” said Wes Yelvington, a 182-average bowler from Littleton. “I like places that are bowling alleys. You didn’t have the arcades and pool tables.

That’s cool and

HOW BOWLING PAYS OFF FOR STUDENTS In recent years, young bowlers have gotten the chance to attend college with league and tournament money earned from bowling, which goes into SMART fund accounts to help pay for tuition.

Additionally there are several scholarships available for students who participate in bowling.

Bowling had gained recognition with 21 states by the 2015-16 season as a varsity

high school sport, but not in Colorado. There were 141 colleges in the U.S. during the 2015-16 season that had men’s varsity bowling teams and 139 schools had women’s bowling programs.

com report, there were 29,105 high school bowlers in 2015 and 791 college varsity bowlers. There were 26,110 female high school bowlers and 1,270 college varsity bowlers.

Only women’s bowling is a sanctioned NCAA sport as an equivalency sport for scholarship purposes.

There is one women’s national championship for all divisions but some colleges do have men’s varsity teams.

In a Scholarshipstats.

The NCAA Division I scholarship limit for women’s team is five but schools can reach the limit by offering half scholarships to 10 bowlers. The limit is also five in Division II and eight in National Junior College Athletic Association.

fun. It’s like an indoor amusement park for kids — but I want a little more.”

According to a Sports & Fitness Industry Association bowling participation report, league bowlers dropped from 2.48 million in 2007-08 to 1.49 million in 2015-16.

The number of bowling alleys in a 15-year span dropped 26 percent from 5,400 to 3,976 in 2013. But the number of people who say they bowl increased 10 percent.

For some professionals, the modern climate doesn’t hold a lot of promise for the sport — as

opposed to the social activity — of bowling.

“The bowling industry doesn’t have as many centers to bowl in and it tends to be going downhill around the Denver area,” said Sharon Powers, a 10-time Denver Women’s Bowler of the Year from Lakewood and a former tour professional. “People don’t take it seriously. It’s just ‘Let’s go bowl a couple games and go play pinball machines.’ To me it’s almost like making a joke of bowling.”

No-quit outlook fuels champion Antron Brown picks up 64th win during Mile High Nationals

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Top Fuel driver Antron Brown paid attention during a chapel service before the final day of the 38th annual Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

“The chaplin said quitters never win and winners never quit,” said Brown, a Pittsboro, Indiana, resident. “I thought about it, and you know, that’s why we are where we are because we never quit.”

On July 23, Brown defeated top qualifier Leah Pritchett, a Don Schumacher Racing teammate, with an elapsed time of 3.792 at 319.82 mph to win for the 64th time in National Hot Rod Association races.

It was his third win in Denver, tying him for the Bandimere Top Fuel lead for wins with Scott Kalitta and Tony Schumacher.

“When you come to this mountain, it eats you up so bad,” Brown said of the Morrison track, which sits 5,860-feet above sea level. “It beat us up the first day (July 21), we got back on key the next day and we started picking away at it. The car was flawless by the finals.

“We were patching up everywhere.

Something was always going wrong.

We kept stepping up and that was a testament to our team. This race definitely put us through a marathon, but seeing those win lights makes it all worthwhile,” Other professional winners during the final session of the three-day event were Robert Hight (Funny Car), Drew Skillman (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawlec (Pro Stock Motorcycle).

Hight, who drives for John Force Racing, was sick and admittedly lucky as he broke a winless streak of 34 NHRA races and collected his first win of the season and fourth at the Mile High Nationals. He had a 3.995 elapsed time at 317.54 mph in the finals against Tommy Johnson Jr., who had an elapsed time of 4.099 and a speed of 297.16 mph.

“I don’t know if I ate something bad

Support your local paper!

this morning or last night but I was sick today,” said Hight, a resident of Yorba Linda, California. “I couldn’t keep anything down. We definitely struggled through the first few rounds and we were lucky to get those round wins, but I have a great team who figured things out and helped me get to the winner’s circle.

“It was big to get a win in the finals.

It starts to wear on you. It’s been a long time coming and we hadn’t had much luck, but today we had some.”

Meanwhile, Courtney Force, daughter of the division’s 16-time champion John Force, set Funny Car track records in the first qualifying session on July 21 with a low elapsed time of 3.889 and 328.30 mph. She was the No. 1 Top Fuel qualifier at the Mile High Nationals for the second consecutive year.

However, she was sent packing in the first round of eliminations by 16th seed Jim Campbell. John Force, the No. 2 qualifier, also lost early to Matt Hagen.

Antron Brown signs autographs after winning the Top Fuel championship on July 23 at the Mopar Mile High Nationals held at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

Brown won his third Top Fuel title at Bandimere and now has 64 National Hot Rod Association victories with 48 coming in Top Fuel and 16 in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

BOWLING FROM PAGE 23

For a typical Friday or Saturday night outing, bowling costs more than $5 a game, not including shoe rental.

Toss in video games and food and the dollars add up.

To that end, today’s bowlers tend to have higher-than-average incomes.

A 2016 Experian Simmons National Consumer Survey found the annual median income of a bowling household was more than $76,000, while more than 28 percent of all bowlers had household incomes of over $100,000. The median household income in the nation is about $56,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

There are 23 bowling centers in the Denver metro area. Only four are independently owned: Arapahoe Bowling Center, 6850 S. Dayton St., Greenwood Village; Crown Lanes, 2325 S. Federal Blvd., Denver; Paramount Bowl, 2625 Kipling St., Wheat Ridge; and Holiday Lanes, 10350 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood.

Bowlmor AMF is the largest bowling operator in the United States, with 304 centers — 293 in the U.S., eight in Mexico and three in Canada.

Bowlmor AMF was created from the merger of Bowlmor and AMF. The company acquired Brunswick bowling centers in 2014 for $270 million.

Atairos, a private investment fund, recently acquired a substantial ownership of Bowlmor AMF for an estimated $1 billion, but the management structure will remain, which means little change in the philosophy — which is more of a party, nightclub atmosphere

with mostly open bowling.

One of the Denver-area bowling centers that has adopted the Bowlmor philosophy is Bowlero Lone Tree, which has a big arcade, laser tag, big-screen televisions and glow lights.

Boondocks Food and Fun is another entertainment center that features bowling. It has locations in Utah, plus two in the Denver area: one in Parker at 18706 Cottonwood Drive, and the other in Northglenn at 11425 Community Center Drive. There are bowling lanes plus plenty of games for youngsters, including go-karts, bumper boats and miniature golf.

“At Boondocks, bowling is one of the main attractions for our guests,” said John Schnerbarth, general manager of the Parker Boondocks location. “Guests can purchase bowling time by itself or as part of our unlimited day pass. We are trying to put a Wednesday evening league together that will run for 12 weeks. Hopefully we will get enough interest and teams to create this league.”

Some metro-area centers manage to attract a crowd focused more on the sport than on the atmosphere — even while being part of the big chain.

Englewood’s AMF Belleview Lanes is “still a league-dominant house,” said Christina Radzikowski, manager of the center at 4900 S. Federal Blvd.

But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been some changes.

“A lot of our men’s leagues have dwindled over the years,” Radzikowski said. “One, because we are more mixed and women are bowling more. Overall, it’s not like it was in the ‘60s with a guy’s night out bowling and the woman stays home with the children.

“It’s a different era.”

Men’s roller derby team represents Mile High City Englewood man skates with Denver’s Ground Control squad

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roller derby began as an all-women’s sport but with its rebirth in 2001 in Texas, programs also included men’s teams, and Englewood resident Josh Souz signed up when he learned about Ground Control, the Denver Roller Derby men’s team.

Souz and other members of the men’s team took part in the Denver Roller Derby July 12 practice and scrimmage at the Glitterdome in Denver, where the male skaters scrimmaged with the women.

“I have been roller skating most of my life. I was on the rink at a Skate City when I was asked to become a member of the men’s roller derby team and a roller hockey team on the same night,” Souz said. “I hadn’t been in an organized sport for a while, I had played roller hockey, so I decided to figure out what roller derby was all about. That was almost seven years ago and I am still with it.”

The scrimmage was a series of matches called jams. Each team sends five players out onto the flat ovalshaped track, four blockers and a jam-

Englewood resident Josh Souz looks to block an opponent during the July 12 Denver Roller Derby practice and scrimmage at Denver’s Glitterdome. Souz is a member of the DRD men’s team, but since the roster is small, the men practice and scrimmage with the women. Souz has been competing in men’s roller derby for six years because it is a good way to stay physically fit and to have fun.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS mer. When the starting whistle blows, the blockers focus on keeping the other team’s jammer from breaking free while opening a route for their jammer to race around the track and score points by passing opponents.

When a jammer got out of the pack during the jams at the scrimmage, her teammates set up to slow the pack while her opponents set up to keep

her from passing them. Blocks were physical, often sending one or more players to the track surface. But the players quickly got up and returned to the battle.

Often one member of the men’s team joined the group when a jam was called. It seemed no one payed attention to whether the opponent was a man or a woman and frequently it was

a man who got knocked to the skating surface.

“It is always intense out there on the track,” the Englewood man said during a break in the action. “We don’t have a lot of skaters on the men’s team so we scrimmage with the women.

The contact is physical and everyone skates hard.”

Souz uses his skating skills and speed as a jammer for the team. He said the most fun for him is when he circles the track and his blockers set things up for him so he can zip through the pack and score points by passing the opposing players.

The 32-year-old said roller derby is fun and his biggest challenge when he joined the sport was learning to use the quad-wheel skates instead of in-line skates.

“I had been using in-line skates almost all my life,” he said. “The only time I had four wheels per skate was when I was a little kid. It took some time getting used to the difference in the skates but it was part of the fun of being a roller derby skater.”

All roller derby athletes are amateurs with full-time jobs to make a living. Souz is a member of a military family and grew up in a number of different places. He has lived in Englewood for more than two years and works in an information technology position as a site liability engineer.

DERBY FROM PAGE 29

Roller derby was popular in the 1940s and 1950s when the competition was on a banked track. The modern version on a flat track was reborn in 2001 in Texas. It grew nationally and internationally to where there are more than 1,200 leagues around the world. An entry on the internet stated that flat track roller derby is being considered to be added to the list of sports at the 2020 summer Olympics.

A game is divided into two 30-minute periods. Jams can run the full two minutes or be cut off by the lead jammer. Usually there are about 20 jams per half.

Denver Roller Derby’s largest program is for women, but there is also a men’s team plus a youth program for skaters under 18.

The Denver A level team, called the Mile High Club, is currently ranked seventh among the world’s A-level teams.

win on a home track.”

Kris Whitfield, of Littleton, was able to come through and win the Super Comp championship, driving his 1927 Roadster. He was able to beat Gary Wambolt of Arvada as he covered the quarter mile in 9.544 seconds at a 149.70 mph pace.

“I feel like I overcame the odds for the second year,” Whitfield said following his win. “Two in a row is pretty cool. I broke out of the distractions and

The program also has a secondlevel team, the Bruising Altitude, and a C-level team called the Standbys. The B and C teams travel to compete in tournaments around the country. The men’s team, Ground Control, competes nationally and currently is ranked 18th.

In additional to traveling to tournaments, Denver Roller Derby has a local league with four teams that compete from January to April.

All individuals involved in roller derby are amateur athletes. Each player provides his or her own equipment which at least includes a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads.

Traditional four-wheels-per-boot skates are used in roller derby. Inline skates are not allowed.

Denver Roller Derby athletes pay a $50 monthly membership fee. The money is used to cover the cost of renting space for games and practices, paying officials and other charges associated with the team.

When a team travels, each player is responsible for his or her own expenses.

was able to run my own race.”

Randy Cruickshank, of Wheat Ridge, driving his 1963 McAmis, was the fourth driver from the metro area to win a title, defeating Grand Junction’s Bud Preuss in Top Sportsman.

“Wow,” Cruickshank said. “I feel this has been a long time in coming.”

Steve Johnson, of Arvada, and Clint Neff, also from Arvada, were top qualifiers in their divisions, but neither could come through for the title.

Clint Neff, of Arvada, had been the top qualifier in the Competition Eliminator but he was defeated in the semifinals by Dave Rampy, who had qualified fourth.
