races. I ended placing really well at those, even winning one, which showed me my potential for the sport. After joining the triathlon team, I learned how to bike well too, and then in no time I was racing competitively around the country.

I prepare for competitions by keeping my body well rested the week before the race. I also eat healthy food and stay as hydrated as possible. The day before the race I try to stay loose by hanging out with my other team members and friends who I know from other states.

Castle Pines teen wins triathlon national title About me I live in Castle Pines. I am 17 and a senior at Rock Canyon High School.

I compete on Rock Canyon’s varsity cross country and varsity swim teams.

I also train with a high-performance triathlon club out of Littleton called eNRG Performance. Besides sports, I love science. Last year I found a potential new treatment for skin cancer with my Rock Canyon biotech group. I also am the co-president of the National Science Honor Society and the president of the Medicine Club at Rock Canyon. I also volunteer weekly at Sky Ridge Medical Center in the ICU. Eventually, I’d like to go to medical school and become a trauma surgeon.

A triathlon national champion I recently competed in the Age Group National Championships. The National Championships for non-draft triathlon, meaning you can’t bike in packs or draft off other bikers. I raced in the 15- to 19-year-old age group and in the Sprint Category (750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike ride, 5k run).

This year the race was held on Aug. 11 in Cleveland, Ohio. I became national champion in my age group out of nearly 100 competitors. It feels really good to have the national title.

Video highlights etiquette for county’s trail users Hikers, bikers and equestrians can learn proper practices when using open space areas STAFF REPORT

Last year, Douglas County’s 17,000 acres of public parks and open space properties had more than a million visits, according to a news release, and hikers, bicyclists and equestrians share hundreds of miles of trails.

While there is plenty of room for everyone, Douglas County Parks and Open Space employees often hear the question: What is the hierarchy on the trail and how do I know what to do?

The department created a video, featuring rangers Amy and Tyler, demonstrating real-life examples

of trail etiquette. The goal is for the nearly 90,000 hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers hitting the trails each month to understand who has the right-of-way and how to safely share the trails with other users, the release said.

Some ways to keep the trails friendly, fun and safe for everyone include announcing yourself and establishing communication before passing, keeping dogs leashed and yielding apprpriately to other trail users. These are all highlighted in the video.

Visitors out for a hike or a ride should keep the examples in mind, and Courtesy Triangle signs posted on the trails also illustrate general guidelines of right-of-way: hikers yield to equestrians, cyclists yield to pedestrians and equestrians.

School district seeks ouster of charter with armed staff Negotiations underway to determine Ascent Classical Academy’s future in Douglas County

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Douglas County charter school that allows staff to carry firearms on campus has been asked to leave the Douglas County School District’s oversight and is negotiating an agreement to transfer its charter to the state, according to the school’s chief executive officer.

Ascent Classical Academy CEO Derec Shuler said if an agreement is not reached with the school district, he expects the district will begin the process to revoke the school’s charter in Douglas County.

He also said conversations with the school district over the school’s armed personnel began before the district’s superintendent offered testimony at the state Capitol regarding school safety, in which the superintendent stated there are not armed teachers in the district.

“We have staff who currently carry in the school who have been authorized under (Ascent’s) program,” Shuler said. “Our board authorized it

over a year ago, and we have implemented it. It’s already in effect for our school year.”

Shuler would not say how many school employees carry firearms or what type of employees — specifically, whether that includes teachers — are armed, citing security concerns, but said the program is open to all staff members on a volunteer basis. The CEO was not aware of any other charter schools in Douglas County operating a similar program.

‘Fight tooth and nail’ On Aug. 20, Douglas County School District Superintendent Thomas Tucker spoke on a panel at the state Capitol as part of a hearing held by the Legislature’s School Safety Committee. Panelists fielded numerous questions from legislators concerning improving school safety.

State Sen. Rhonda Fields at one point in the hearing remarked that certain school districts allow teachers to be armed and that she believed some teachers in Douglas County are armed, and asked if those individuals would “go get their guns, or are they shooting,” in an active shooter event.

Tucker said DCSD teachers are not armed.

“We will certainly not do it in my tenure, arm teachers. So, if you’re hearing that, that is simply not true,” Tucker said.

He further stated any schools, neigh-

ABOUT THE SCHOOL Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County opened in the fall of 2018 in Castle Rock with grades K-10 and plans to add a grade level each year until it becomes a K-12 school. The charter school has moved to Lone Tree, and enrollment for the 201920 school year is approximately 550.

The school partners with Hillsdale College Barney Charter School Initiative, which promotes the founding of classical charter schools. Ascent “focuses on excellence with a high quality academic program, developing future leaders with the good character and virtue to flourish and be successful in life,” according to its website, https://dougco.ascentclassical. org/about/.

“A classical school seeks to foster two things, individual happiness and a healthy regime,” the site further explains.

Classes at Ascent are set to begin on Sept. 3, several weeks after students returned to most DCSD schools. borhood or charter, that decide to arm teachers would be asked to leave the Douglas County School District’s oversight.

“We will fight tooth and nail,” Tucker said.

Shuler said Tucker’s remarks came as a surprise and caused confusion among his school community, “especially since he knows that we’re already doing such a program at our

charter school,” Shuler said.

Shuler added, “Dr. Tucker was right, they did indeed ask us to leave the district,” but described it as a mutual decision and said the charter school was not kicked out of the district.

“We’re currently in negotiation with the district on us transferring our charter to the state authorizer,” Shuler said Aug. 22. “We just got a first written draft from the school district this morning actually. They do want us gone immediately.”

But if an agreement is not reached, Shuler expects the district would proceed with revoking the Lone Tree school’s charter, which entails a different process than a transfer. However, Shuler said Ascent is confident it has acted in accordance with its contract.

“We will look forward to taking our case to the appropriate venue in this instance to defend our autonomy and having acted within our legal and contractual authority,” Shuler said.

District policy Following Tucker’s testimony on Aug. 20, Colorado Community Media requested further comment from Tucker on the arming of teachers and overseeing charter schools. A spokeswoman on Aug. 21 provided a statement from the school board regarding Tucker’s testimony, saying his position was rooted in district policy.

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years.

I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably? The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is saddled with debt because of the reverse

mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

Q&A with Superintendent Thomas Tucker Douglas County School District leader reflects on challenging year, and goals for the school year

At the end of the day, we want to continue to improve. We want to be a more effective district this year than we were in 2018-19. You can’t improve student achievement, thus improving teaching and learning, if you don’t create a culture of continuous improvement. We are excited about establishing that culture, or carrying on that culture, I should say, here in our district.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thomas Tucker became the superintendent of the Douglas County School District in July 2018.

Hailing from the Princeton City School District in Cincinnati, where he served as superintendent since 2015, he began his educational career roughly 30 years ago as a teacher.

With one full school year under his belt in Douglas County, Tucker sat down with Colorado Community Media to discuss a year filled with highs and lows.

QA

How was your first year with the Douglas County School District?

We had a tremendous year. A tremendous year of successes, challenges and our community coming together.

Unifying. It really exceeded my expectations coming in here last fall.

When you look at the year in review, you’ll see three or four things, but first and foremost, I wanted to listen by spending time engaging in conversa-

A superintendent is only as effective as his or her relationship with the key stakeholders, and one of your main key stakeholders after your students and staff are your board members. So, establishing a strong trusting working relationship with our board of education was also a goal. We really exceeded in that area as well.

What are your priorities going into the new school year?

We want to continue providing op-

portunities for open communication.

That’s always a priority. And, successfully launching the district’s Strategic Plan. Later on this fall, we will roll out the plan to our community, although it will not take effect until the 2020-21 school year.

We’ll also look at our academic performance and take a deep dive into our financials. We are pleased to have the strongest credit rating among the 178 school districts in the state. That’s something that we don’t take lightly. We want to make sure that we maintain our strong financial stability.

In November, the district passed its first mill levy override and bond measure in 12 years. Why do you think the ballot measures were successful?

I think the first element in the successful passage of 5A, 5B dealt with the clear message — the need to ensure accountability and transparency. I’m a taxpayer. I want to know where my money is going.

How is it going to improve teaching and learning? So again, clear communication, accountability and transparency.

And the will of the community. Our parents are very passionate about education. I didn’t see that 12-year span as an indictment that we were not passionate about education. We were.

Our taxpayers were wanting, they were craving, for a clear message and in that clear message a unified message as well.

Douglas County School District will apply for security funds County is offering $10 million to bolster safety on campuses

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Douglas County School District Superintendent Thomas Tucker says the district will apply for a portion of $10 million in school safety funds being offered to local schools by the county.

Tucker and the school board discussed the issue at the school board’s Aug. 20 meeting. It was unclear prior to then if the district would pursue the security money.

“We’re definitely going to apply, we’re definitely going to meet the deadline, and we definitely can use those resources in our schools,” Tucker said, adding the funds will complement dollars provided by a district mill levy override and bond measure passed in November.

Commissioners in May offered $10

CHARTER

FROM PAGE 3

“From the beginning of Dr. Tucker’s superintendency, he has empathically supported and endorsed the district’s safe schools plan, which is evidence- and research-based. This plan is driven

by Board of Education policy ADD and state statute. Based on this, Dr. Tucker stated that he is not in support of arming staff, other than security officers who are employed solely for security purposes, and he reinforced that position at (the Aug. 20) School Safety Committee meeting,” the statement reads.

“DCSD expects all of its schools to abide by ADD and follow DCSD’s research-based practices to keep each and every student and staff member safe.”

The statement pointed to a portion of district policy stating that anyone providing armed security must be an officer employed solely for security purposes, that the officers be certified in Peace Officer Standards and Training, and that uniformed security not be allowed to conceal their weapons while on duty.

Shuler said when Ascent’s contract was approved, the school had a waiver from a different section of district policy that concerned armed personnel and allowed Ascent to begin the program it currently operates.

At the time, he said, the district’s ADD policy — its school safety policy — did not pertain to armed officers but was later updated so that it now does. He claims the district argues the charter’s waiver is inapplicable with the revised ADD policy in place.

When asked about Shuler’s statements, a district spokeswoman

million in one-time money to heighten security in local schools. The board made the offer in response to a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch earlier that month. Funds can be spent on mental health programs and the physical security of schools. Schools have until Sept. 17 to apply.

Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said the district plans to use the money, if granted by commissioners, for a number of mental health resources.

That could include school climate surveys that ask students about school culture, social and emotional learning curriculums, training for staff in crisis response and suicide prevention.

Knight did not divulge what physical security measure the district would pursue with the money, citing security concerns.

“I won’t go into a lot of details on those, but they are again kind of our traditional building hardening, communication and training for folks,” Knight said.

Commissioners announced in August county schools — neighborhood, said officials did not have further comment.

A debate of autonomy Sitting next to Tucker at the Aug. 20 hearing was Erin Kane, executive director of the three-campus charter school American Academy in Douglas County and former interim superintendent of DCSD. Kane testified before the committee on behalf of charter schools at the request of the Colorado League of Charter Schools.

She adamantly disagrees with the district’s plans to prohibit charter schools from allowing armed teachers, if a charter school wants to.

“Certainly, the district has every right for their board and their staff and their community to make that decision,” Kane said, “for the district-run schools.”

But Kane is “a believer in charter school autonomy.”

American Academies does not allow armed staff at any of its three campuses. It is served by two school resource officers, one from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and one from the Parker Police Department.

School leadership considered the proximity of law enforcement and response times when deciding against allowing teachers to be armed, Kane said. The Parker Police Department is roughly 2 1/2 miles from the school’s Motsenbocker campus and a half-mile from its Lincoln Meadows location. The school’s third campus is in Castle Pines.

“I would feel differently if they were 20 minutes away, but they are two minutes away,” Kane said.

And although having armed staff was not the right choice for American Academies, Kane said, “I wouldn’t dream of imposing my decision on another charter school.”

“I support the right of another charter school to make a different

charter and private — could submit applications to access the funds, which gives commissioners final say over how the money is spent.

The school district did not immediately move to enter the application pool.

DCSD officials feared participating would expose sensitive details of school security. Applications will be submitted online, and could be subject to open records requests.

DCSD will prepare a single application for the entire district, rather than making multiple applications for individual schools, and submit the application in the form of an intergovernmental agreement, Tucker said Aug. 20.

School board President David Ray proposed using an intergovernmental agreement in early August, which would allow the county and school district to negotiate specific security plans through their attorneys.

“I’m grateful that (commissioners) understood our concerns about the application process as being way too visible to the wrong people,” Ray said

choice, with their staff, and their families, and their local law enforcement. Who am I to get in the middle of that?” she said.

Making the choice Shuler said Ascent decided to implement its armed personnel policy this year following the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in May. The school held a town hall after the Highlands Ranch incident, which left one student dead and eight others injured. Parents were supportive of allowing armed staff, Shuler said.

Volunteers in Ascent’s program complete FASTER training, or Faculty/Administrator Safety Training & Emergency Response training, in addition to other courses. Staff also study firearms, “shoot-don’t-shoot” scenarios and mental preparation for responding to an active shooter.

“We have a wide range of people who are former military people who have grown up with firearms their whole lives,” Shuler said.

“These are people who already have concealed-carry permits and carry every day.”

Shuler said Ascent is part of a group working with local law enforcement to improve the consistency of training among all armed security in schools, stating law enforcement and other armed guards should improve communication and train together.

Sheriff Tony Spurlock was not available for an interview at the time of this article, a spokeswoman said, but he provided a statement.

“Public safety is a priority for the sheriff ’s office, and that includes safety for our children in schools,” he said. “In order to be successful during a critical incident we all need to train together. We will train with anyone working at or for the school whether they are armed or not.”

Aug. 20.

Charter schools, although part of the school district, will prepare and submit their own applications. Private schools can also apply for the funds individually.

Tucker, when asked by board directors, could not say how commissioners will distribute funds, only that they have final say over which schools’ applications are accepted.

Director Kevin Leung, who represents District E, asked if commissioners would consider the number of students in public schools versus private schools when determining how much money is given to the district compared to private institutions.

“We can apply but we have no say in whether we’ll get a dime or a million or $10 million,” Leung said.

Tucker said he hoped to have more clarity on how funds will be dispersed in the coming weeks but assured board members the district will meet Douglas County’s deadline.

“The money from the county commissioners is greatly needed,” Tucker said.

TUCKER FROM PAGE 4

How we were going to spend day-to-day dollars, MLO dollars and bond dollars, to improve the learning environments for our children. Again, we are extremely thankful that the majority of our citizens, our voters, supported them.

In May, a school shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch rocked the community. As an educator, had you experienced a tragedy like this before?

Not in the sense where a firearm was brought on campus and someone was fatally shot. I’ve worked as an administrative intern when I was a grad student in Columbus, Ohio, in an urban school district, and at the time it was much larger than Douglas County, and we had some tremendous issues. I visited neighboring communities where there were issues and challenges with violence.

In Topeka, Kansas, and the Princeton City School District, kids were killed, and they fell to gun violence, but it just was not in school.

Every place I’ve been we’ve experienced tragedies where the students were in school one day and then before the sun rose the next day, they had taken their lives.

I’ve certainly been rocked by suicide and gun violence. I’ve seen that and I’ve been very close to students and staff who have been victims of both. But this was the first time where someone was shot and killed in a classroom.

With that said, I am overjoyed by the outpouring of community support and the resolve of the Douglas County School District. Especially my administrative staff here, and I cannot emphasize that enough.

What do you want the community to know as they head into a new school year?

Again, I would say we’re extremely excited about the 2019-20 school year and the best for the Douglas County School District is yet to come.

Ray to run for second term on school board Board president says district is close to ‘reclaiming its reputation’

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School Board President David Ray has announced he will seek a second term. Ray will be the only incumbent up for reelection who is running in the November race.

Director AnneMarie Lemieux, who holds the District C seat, and Director Wendy Vogel in District A, will not run for another term. Both endorsed Ray District A candidate Susan Meek, a former district spokeswoman.

Ray will face off in District F, encompassing Parker and nearby unincorporated areas, with lawyer

Kory Nelson.

In his announcement, Ray recounted his choice to run in 2015. At the time, he said, he “loved being a DCSD employee” of 25 years but felt the district “had become a place I no longer recognized.” Teachers were leaving and “the community’s voice and values had been squelched,” he wrote.

Since his election and others’ election, the district has made what Ray called progress, naming the superintendent search and the passage of a bond and mill levy override as examples.

“And this is the reason, after much deliberation, prayer and reflection, I have decided to run for a second term,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

“I believe the district is very close to reclaiming its reputation as the very best place for every child to grow, learn and become successful young adults. I want to continue doing my part to ensure that this happens.”

Running in District C is Franceen Thompson and Andy Jones will challenge Meek in District A. The board election will be held Nov. 5.

Catwalk features special needs fashionistas, first responders Developmental Pathways Fashion Show was first held in 2015

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gracie Armstrong is a people person, her mother said, which explains the 3-1/2-year-old’s prowess on the catwalk of the Developmental Pathways Fashion Show at the Park Meadows Mall Aug. 14.

“This is right up her alley,” her mother, Jennifer, said. “Anytime she has an excuse to get dressed up, she’s all about it.”

Armstrong was the first to strut on stage. She was accompanied by Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock as they both waved to the crowd at the end of the catwalk.

The fifth annual Developmental Pathways Fashion Show at the Park Meadows mall gave a stage to kids and adults with developmental disabilities, who strutted the catwalk in personalized outfits donated by Macy’s. The fashion show is an event Developmental Pathways and the mall have hosted each year since 2015 to give those with developmental disabilities the chance to shine onstage in front of a crowd.

The stage was open for Douglas or Arapahoe county residents with a developmental disability, giving local

The supermodels were accompanied by local first responders from South Metro Fire Rescue, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and Lone Tree Police Department. The crowd surrounding the stage grew larger as the show commenced, catching the eye of passersby who whistled and hollered as the models gave a vogue look or pose.

Members of the Denver Junior League also helped facilitate the event.

“Our CEO a few years back and the CEO of Park Meadows had this brainchild to put on this event and bring together the community, get our name out there and generate awareness, but more so to give a different face of what we’re doing,” said Natalie Coulter, communications manager for Developmental Pathways. “I think it’s great to incorporate first responders, too, because it’s two different sides of folks who are in public service but in different spheres.”

Court: Electoral College members not bound by popular vote Colorado secretary of state said ruling sets ‘a dangerous precedent’

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

A U.S. appeals court in Denver said Electoral College members can vote for the presidential candidate of their choice and aren’t bound by the popular vote in their states.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Aug. 20 that the Colorado secretary of state violated the Constitution in 2016 when he removed an elector and nullified his vote because the elector refused to cast his ballot for Democrat Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote.

The ruling applies only to Colorado and five other states in the 10th Circuit: Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming.

It could influence future cases nationwide in the unlikely event that enough Electoral College members strayed from their states’ popular vote to affect the outcome of a presidential election, constitutional scholars said.

The Electoral College system is established in the Constitution. When voters cast a ballot for president,

they are actually choosing members of the Electoral College, called electors, who are pledged to that presidential candidate. The electors then choose the president.

Electors almost always vote for the popular vote winner, and some states have laws requiring them to do so.

But the split decision by a threejudge panel on the Denver appeals court said the Constitution allows electors to cast their votes at their own discretion.

“The state does not possess countervailing authority to remove an elector and to cancel his vote in response to the exercise of that Constitutional right,’’ the ruling said.

The elector at the center of the case, Micheal Baca, was part of a group known as “Hamilton electors’’ who tried to convince electors who were pledged to Clinton or Donald Trump to unite behind a consensus candidate to deny Trump the presidency.

After a flurry of filings in state and federal courts, the electors met on Dec. 19, 2016, and Baca crossed out Clinton’s name on his ballot and wrote in John Kasich, the Republican governor of Ohio who also ran for president.

Then-Secretary of State Wayne Williams refused to count the vote

and removed Baca as an elector. He replaced him with another elector who voted for Clinton.

Colorado’s current secretary of state, Jena Griswold, decried the Aug. 20 ruling in Colorado but did not immediately say if she would appeal.

“This court decision takes power from Colorado voters and sets a dangerous precedent,’’ she said.

“Our nation stands on the principle of one person, one vote.’’

Baca’s attorneys said the U.S. Supreme Court will likely hear the case because it conflicts with a decision from Washington state’s Supreme Court. That court said in May that electors could be fined for not casting ballots for the popular vote winner.

Constitutional scholars were skeptical, saying a conflicting opinion from a state court system has less influence on the Supreme Court than one from another federal appeals court. No other federal appeals court is believed to have ruled in a similar case.

“The court just might think this isn’t something that demands our attention right now,’’ said Michael Morley, a professor at the Florida State University College of Law. The court ruling in Denver could be important if a future Electoral College is so closely divided that

a handful of “faithless electors’’ change the outcome by casting a ballot contrary to the popular vote, said Ned Foley, a professor at Ohio State University’s law school.

“This opinion would be taken very seriously,’’ he said. “It would be considered judicial precedent.’’

But that kind of split in the Electoral College is unlikely, said Morley.

“So many individually unlikely events would have to fall in place for that,’’ he said.

Hundreds of electors have cast votes in the history of the nation, “and only a handful have been cast by faithless electors,’’ Morley said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what impact the ruling would have on a new Colorado law that pledges the state’s Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote if enough other states with a total of at least 270 electoral votes do the same.

It would ensure the winner of the popular vote wins the Electoral College and becomes president. The effort was spurred by the election of Republicans George W. Bush in 2000 and Trump in 2016. Both lost the popular vote but amassed more Electoral College votes.

A Republican-led campaign is underway to overturn the Colorado law.

Castle Rock delivers human rights proclamation LGBTQ group celebrates town’s declaration

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock has issued a human rights proclamation declaring the town a place open to people of all backgrounds. Town staff and councilmembers began drafting the proclamation at the request of the nonprofit Castle Rock Pride, which formed to advocate for LGBTQ issues in the area.

An emotional Mayor Pro Tem Jason Bower read the proclamation during town council’s Aug. 20 meeting. Castle Rock Pride was planning a festival for Aug. 24.

Bower worked with the group as Castle Rock drafted the proclamation, saying “a lot went into this. I have not made it through reading this without being emotional.” He acknowledged the group for urging the town to create a proclamation of that nature.

“I’m normally of the thought that government should stay out of the way of social issues, but I think that it’s certainly appropriate when government has gotten in the way in the past,” Bower said.

The proclamation reads, “Castle Rock is a place open to everyone to live, work and play regardless of age,

The proclamation urges the community to embrace one another’s differences and speak up against social injustices.

Members of the nonprofit have spoken at previous town council meetings to share experiences about growing up as an LGBTQ community member in Castle Rock, feeling as though they were alone or needed to hide their identity.

Castle Rock Pride member Heather Gonzales thanked the town for the proclamation and said the town’s support for the group has been phenomenal. Anya Zavadil, another group member, thanked the town for recognizing the town’s diversity.

“I grew up here. I graduated from the Douglas County High School and have watched this community grow and am so proud to be here right now.

Always, but especially tonight after this proclamation,” she said.

Mayor Jason Gray commended town staff and councilmembers who worked with Castle Rock Pride to “make sure that it was appropriate for our community and something that we could all get behind.”

“We want to celebrate our differences, no matter what they are,” Gray said, “and then celebrate our community.”

A residency program offered at Sky Ridge Medical Center has received top scores on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s annual survey.

The family medicine residency program is one of several collaborations between HealthONE and Rocky Vista University’s Center for Medical Education Excellence. Its focus is on developing weekly evidence-based didactic sessions on medical topics, procedural and practice skills, journal clubs and physician wellness.

Each resident has a mentor to support his or her progress and assist in scholarly activity, and faculty are trained and certified in musculoskeletal and obstetrical ultrasound.

Additional tracks, such as sports medicine and hospitalist, help tailor the residency experience to each graduate’s interests.

“We are delighted to have the highest score and will continue to work to improve our program in every way possible,” Kathryn Vidlock, MD, program director of the family medicine residency program, said in a news release. “We are extremely thankful to have support from both RVU and HCA.” The survey, completed each year by residents and fellows, is part of Hospital Corporation of America Healthcare’s evaluation of its 24 family residency programs nationwide.

Every year from January through April, the family medicine residencies are surveyed to ensure compliance with guidelines for clinical experience and education, faculty evaluation, educational content, work environment, patient safety and teamwork.

Reports are generated that aggregate the survey data to provide an anonymous comparison.

The Center for Medical Education Excellence provides academic support and oversight to the family medicine residency program and ensure the highest quality of training for residents, many of whom are graduates from Rocky Vista’s college of osteopathic medicine.

Third trial delayed for trucker accused in trooper’s death Attorneys await Colorado Court of Appeals decision regarding case

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A November trial for a man accused of crashing into and killing a Colorado state trooper in 2016 has been postponed while attorneys wait for a decision from the Colorado Court of Appeals regarding the case.

November would have marked the start of a third trial for Noe Gamez-Ruiz. His case has twice ended in a mistrial, both times after prosecutors were accused of discovery violations.

The former truck driver for U.S. Foods was arrested after he allegedly Gamez-Ruiz hit and killed Trooper Cody Donahue on Nov. 25, 2016. Donahue was investigating a separate crash on the shoulder of Interstate 25 near Castle Rock when Gamez-Ruiz passed in his U.S. Foods truck.

District Court Judge Shay Whitaker dismissed a Class 5 felony of criminally-negligent homicide, the top charge against Gamez-Ruiz, as a penalty against prosecutors for the second mistrial. She lowered the charge from a Class 6 felony following the first mistrial.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office filed an appeal of the dismissed felony on March 4, but the court has not yet ruled on the appeal.

While charges hang in limbo, the

prosecution and the defense agreed during an Aug. 19 status conference that Gamez-Ruiz’s next trial, set to begin Nov. 4, should be vacated.

District Court Judge Jeffrey Holmes agreed to the request and set the next hearing, a status conference, for Oct. 30.

The Colorado Court of Appeals will decide if throwing out the felony charge was an appropriate sanction for the mistrial. District Attorney George Brauchler called Whitaker’s move too severe.

If the appellate court rules in the prosecution’s favor, Gamez-Ruiz would again face a felony charge. If not, the case would proceed on the remaining charges.

Gamez-Ruiz still faces charges of careless passing of an emergency vehicle and careless driving resulting in death. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including the felony.

Defense attorneys have argued the incident was a tragic accident, while prosecutors maintain Gamez-Ruiz could have avoided hitting Donahue.

Brauchler told Holmes he’d spoken with Donahue’s widow, Velma, who supported vacating the next trial.

A new trial date can be set whenever the Colorado Court of Appeals decides on the appeal.

Brauchler was not sure when the Colorado Court of Appeals would make a decision. There’s no timeframe in which a ruling is required, he said.

Drawing out the case further is not ideal for either side, he said. “I’m sure it’s frustrating for the defense. I’m certain it’s frustrating for the victim (Velma),� Brauchler said following the court appearance. “This is the last formal reminder of the death of her husband.�

Two men arrested in King Soopers shooting in Castle Rock Suspects face attempted first-degree murder charges

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Rock Police Department arrested a second man in connection with the shooting at the King Soopers on Ridge Road Aug. 22, according to a news release.

Police arrested Benito Bautista, 25, of Denver, the final suspect involved in the case, according to police. The department said Hugo VazquezTopete, 26, of Aurora, was also arrested in connection with the shooting.

The victim has not been identified by police, but has been released from

the hospital.

Castle Rock police collaborated with the Denver Police Department, Aurora Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets taskforce to track down the suspect, who was arrested in Denver after allegedly trying to escape arrest from the Denver Police and the Safe Streets taskforce. “It is always encouraging to see great efforts pay off when agencies combine forces and bring violent criminals to justice,� Castle Rock Chief of Police Jack Cauley said in the release. “I am proud of all the hard work that went in to getting these individuals off the street and making our community a safer place.�

Castle Rock police have recommended more than 30 criminal charges between the two defendants.

Want to be a mermaid? Fin, have it your way

I

just heard about something called “mermaiding.”

It’s been around for a while, but I do my best to stay out of touch, partly because some of these things come and go almost overnight.

The first professional mermaids appeared around 2004.

Nonprofessional mermaids swim in local pools, lakes, river, and oceans.

Some don’t even swim. They just pose.

I watched a video that described the appeal of mermaiding. It didn’t sound any different than swimming without a tail.

Speaking of tails, you can order them online, and they come in all sizes and colors. Matching tops can be purchased.

They are mostly marketed for girls, young women, and women. Some are marketed for boys.

There are high-end prosthetic tails that cost thousands.

I grew up with crayons. Later I was given a bicycle. After that, I was handed a baseball glove.

Craig Marshall It now looks like I was an uneventful Smith and hapless little tyke. If only I had a tail. Or a goat.

Yoga used to be yoga. Then it was yoga with yoga pants. Then it was

QUIET DESPERATION

yoga with yoga music, yoga food, yoga antlers, and now, there is goat yoga.

The expression “Leave well enough alone” is un-American.

I saw a 1948 film on televsion titled “Miranda” when I was in high school.

It stars Glynis Johns, as a mermaid named Miranda.

Johns was a shapely woman with a distinctive, husky voice. Modern audiences have forgotten about her.

But not me.

A married doctor goes on a fishing trip, and catches Miranda, who pulls the doctor into the water, and keeps him in her underwater home until he agrees to show her around London.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers shouldn’t be armed I am writing to show my support for Dr. Tucker’s fact-based stance on not arming teachers in our schools. As a parent of a student who was in last year’s school shooting, I have been researching safety in our schools. Arming teachers is not a solution supported by school safety experts, including law enforcement and the two largest teacher organizations in our country.

Introducing firearms into are classrooms will make no one safer, but it will increase the risks to our teachers and students. Not to mention the cost of liability coverage. Such practices are disproven by research to be effective, and would be too costly to our district. I stand with Dr. Tucker in using fact-based solutions for keeping our schools safe.

A good deed My husband and I were driving from McPherson, Kansas, to the mountains when we stopped in Castle Rock for groceries. We want to thank a wonderful, but unknown lady who stayed with our van in the east Dillon’s parking lot on Friday, Aug. 16 because we had inadvertently left the sliding door wide open when we went into the store.

This nice woman stayed there for 30 minutes and even attempted to use an in-store announcement to alert us to the situation. When we returned with our groceries, she was modest in accepting thanks. Somehow, we failed to ask for her name. But we are very grateful and want to say that if all folks in Castle Rock are like her, it must be a great town.

Don’t ask me.

Jennifer frequently attends yoga classes. Without a goat. She tells me stories about some of the other students.

It sounds like they are there to be seen.

I have never seen one, but there once were dance marathons. And flag pole sitting contests.

In Paris in 1864, they opened a morgue behind Notre Dame to the public. As many as 40,000 tourists a day took the opportunity to view dead bodies.

SEE SMITH, P13

For continuous improvement, focus on continuous learning “In times of change the learners will inherit the earth, as the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”

— Eric Hoffer nd since it seems like the world is changing at the speed of thought, we will all do well to focus on the way we grow, evolve, and learn.

One of the mantras that we hear with greater frequency these WINNING days is around the WORDS term “continuous improvement.”

Typically, we hear the term “continuous improvement” when it comes to our efforts to continually strive to improve our products, services, and processes. However, Michael Norton we are now seeing the concept played out when it comes to people as well. The push to be better, faster, smarter, and stronger has many top achievers placing a focus on their own continuous improvement.

In our attempt at being more, doing more and having more, we have to make sure that we are always breaking through our comfort zones. And

A

whether it is to become better, faster, smarter, or stronger, the more that we take the time to learn and grow, the greater likelihood we have of continuous improvement in every area of our lives.

If we are looking to be better at something, we can learn more through reading, attending seminars and receiving coaching or mentoring. As we look to move faster and become more efficient, there are tips and techniques that we can learn to make sure we are keeping up with others who are accomplishing more in less time. And when it comes to being smarter, education is available to us in many different forms. Online learning, peer-to-peer learning, formal education, and classes of every kind make it so easy to increase our knowledge. For those looking to get physically stronger, it’s not just about spending time working out or being in the gym, it’s about learning different exercises, trying new techniques and movements, and being willing to spend time learning how diet impacts strength.

And if we are hoping to become mentally, emotionally, or spiritually stronger, there are books, counselors, close friends, and best practices we can learn to develop so that we

continue our improvement in each of these areas of life too.

As consumers, I am confident that we are all thankful for companies that work towards continuous improvement in their products, services, and processes. And if we are part of working for any organization, we are probably extremely grateful when our company places the same amount of energy and emphasis on the continuous improvement of their people.

Companies that invest in their people enjoy the benefits of less employee turnover, higher revenues, better morale, and greater shareholder value. When companies choose to invest in the continuous learning of their people, through both formal and informal education, they will also experience greater engagement, which in turn, creates greater productivity.

There is a lot of wisdom to be found in Dr. Denis Waitley’s amazingly profound words, “Never become so much of an ex-

pert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.”

Just when we think we have mastered something, that something changes, technology changes, and we are no longer seen as the expert. Just ask anyone who is forced to listen to us tell them how we “used to do” something when we were their age. It used to be we could have comfort knowing that we were experts in something 10 years or more ago, then it was five years ago, and then maybe two years ago. Now, unless we keep up with our own continuous improvement, six months ago no longer qualifies us as experts.

So how about you? Is there still room to grow and learn? Are there interests in your life where you still enjoy expanding your knowledge? As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can continuously improve through continuous learning, it really will be a better than good week.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

Today we have something called “immersion art exhibitions.” Instead of being a passive consumer of something as humdrum as a painting or a sculpture, gallery and museum visitors are immersed in the art, engaged with the art, one with the art.

The thought of it gives me a headache.

I acknowledge that I am a dullard. I don’t need a tail, or a goat, and I don’t need to immerse like a tea bag.

I’m not sure what I would do if I came home and found Jennifer in the tub wearing a tail.

Maybe I’d say, “Are we going to need to get a water bed?”

I tried to find some good mermaid jokes, but there aren’t any. The punch line of one of them is “algebra.”

You can probably figure it out for yourself.

In 1984, Ron Howard directed “Splash.” It stars Tom Hanks, who falls in love with a mermaid played by Daryl Hannah. He names her “Madison” after Madison Avenue.

Ironically, Hannah had been swimming with her legs bound together since she was a little girl, after reading Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid.”

(Disney’s film “Ariel” was based on Anderson’s story.)

Pass the fish and chips.

Jim was born in Moline, Illinois on July 24, 1928. He served in the US Navy as a hospital corpsman in Great Lakes, Illinois. After his discharge in 1948 he married Ruth Watkins, a former Lieutenant in the Navy Medical Corps. They had five children: Mary James (Cole), Kevin J. O’Hern (Lisa), Kelly J.

Jim graduated from St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in education. In 1959, he received his master’s degree in education from Western Illinois University. In 1982 he received his PHD from Clayton University. During his 48 years in education he was a classroom teacher, a school principal, consultant and active volunteer.

In 1968 James married widowed JoAnn McKee and the couple resided in Galesburg, Illinois for several years.

JoAnn was an elementary school teacher and together they enjoyed fishing, traveling and exploring

archeological sites. JoAnn had three children from a previous marriage: Pamela J. McKee Reed (Steve), Robert M. McKee (Debbie) and Martha M. McKee Hayden (Joe).

The couple later moved to Littleton, Colorado where Jim continued his service in education through volunteering with the Senior Volunteer Program in Douglas County, Colorado.

His teaching presentations, designed for elementary students, including Geography, 3rd-Grade Archeology, Poetry and Douglas County History.

Jim treasured the letters he received from former students, some of them now teachers themselves.

Jim’s special interests included teaching, writing and sharing his knowledge with others. He was an avid writer and in 2005 published “Just A Teacher”. He also enjoyed needlepoint on window screen. He made and gave away many hundreds of yarn pictures of schools, homes and cartoon characters for children.

In the final years of his life, Jim was known as “Doc” at the Colorado Veterans Home in Rifle, Colorado. Family and friends are grateful to all the staff there for their attentiveness and loving care. Jim believed one person CAN make a difference and, in his words, “…he was proud and happy to be Just a Teacher.”

37th annual food and music fest will take over Civic Center Park for Labor Day weekend

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

Taste of Colorado returns to Civic Center Park in downtown Denver for another Labor Day weekend, bringing with it 48 different food trucks and vendors and thousands of hungry mouths.

The annual food festival begins Aug. 31 and finishes Sept. 2 The festival is free to enter and open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, and from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m on Sept. 2. This will be the 37th annual A Taste of Colorado festival.

More than 500,000 people turned out throughout the long weekend last year.

It is the largest food festival with free admission in the state. In addition to the 48 food vendors will be almost 200 retail vendors, a Kids Zone with arts, crafts and a children’s entertainment stage.

The event began in 1983 to bring people together through food and music. Now, the festival is bigger than ever. USA Today ranked A Taste of Colorado No. 4 on its 2019 list of Best General Food Festivals.

KC and the Sunshine Band will headline the festival’s first night Aug. 31, along with Kool and The Gang and Grand Funk Railroad. Then Sept. 1 will be a day for country fans with Dwight Yoakam and Remus Tucker headlining.

Monday will have a host of contemporary music from Toad the Wet Sprocket, American Idiot, Scott Stapp Voice of Creed and more. A total of 32 live bands and artists will perform. This year’s festival will have a larger main stage.

Cuisines at A Taste of Colorado range in style and flavors, including specialty foods inspired from Mexico, Jamaica, New Orleans and some familiar Colorado signatures. Take a look at three unique foods you’ll see at the festival and the cooks behind them.

For more information, visit ATasteofColorado.com.

More than 500,000 people are expected to turn out for the annual A Taste of Colorado festival Aug. 31-Sept. 2.

Pork shouler steam buns, Hop & Hoe Zach Stoller owns Hop & Hoe, a food truck specializing in food with farmto-table ingredients. Stoller is from New York City and moved to Colorado in 2017. Just 10 months into his new business, the former culinary student said he’s excited to receive feedback on one of his specialties: steam buns garnished with pork shoulder, hoisin sauce, pickled red onions and cilantro.

“Denver as a whole isn’t on the food radar as of yet — not as much as (Los Angeles) or New York City — so I feel this festival could give Colorado a lot of traction in the food industry and show what we do as chefs,” Stoller said.

“There has been a big influx of people who have come to Colorado, me being one of them, so this could be different than last year just because of that.”

Reggae fusion tacos, Marcia and Joe’s Kitchen This Jamaican specialty food truck will be serving its famous reggae fusion tacos at A Taste of Colorado — a Jamaican take on the Mexican staple. A choice of jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry shrimp, jerk pork, carne asada or al pastor is served on a flour or corn tortilla.

The tacos come in three and are served with a side of cabbage to garnish.

Marcia and Joe’s Kitchen is located in Steamboat Springs and serves braised oxtail, curry goat and chicken, and jerk pork and chicken.

A Taste of Colorado features food items found throughout the state -- from Jamaican cuisine to flavors born in Colorado.

Kalahari chicken wings, A Taste of Soweto Mpho MaPoulo, of Colorado Springs, wants to introduce the taste of his home country South Africa to Americans with his start-up food business A Taste of Soweto. MaPoulo and his wife, Ocean, hope to have their own food truck come October. Ocean is the chef who makes the specialty stews and kota chicken and rice bowls — “kota” refers to the quarter loaf of bread used as a bowl, traditionally.

The MaPoulos offer it over rice as well.

A Taste of Soweto only has five menu items, but, Mpho MaPoulo said, they have adapted over the months to fuse

South African tastes with American ones.

One of the five items A Taste of Soweto will be serving up is Kalahari chicken wings — a South African twist on the Buffalo pub classic. The wings are tossed in a coriander-based Kalahari sauce, named after the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.

“It’s a very signature spice in South Africa for the sausage, but we have sort of invented a new food item all together — we use the spice on chicken wings,” MaPoulo said. “The whole idea is to make something recognizable or appealing to a different group of people, like Americans.”

Code talkers honored for crucial service in WWII Young Marines gather to learn from veterans who helped transmit top-secret messages using Navajo language as code STAFF REPORT

Nine members of the Douglas County Young Marines were among more than 150 Young Marines from across the country who gathered in Window Rock, Arizona, to honor and learn from the Navajo code talkers from World War II. Every year on Aug. 14, the Navajo nation celebrates the World War II veterans who served their country by transmitting top-secret messages across enemy lines using the Navajo language as code. It was the only code unbroken by the Japanese in World War II. The Young Marines have traveled to Arizona each year since 2006 to celebate the Navajo code talkers and to meet the remaining survivors in person. To date, there are five remaining Navajo code talkers from the 420

The Navajo Code Talkers’ story had been top secret for years, but the Young Marines help to keep their legacy alive.

“Navajo Code Talkers Day is an event that the Young Marines and the Navajo Code Talkers look forward to every year,” Brenda McNulty, Young Marines event coordinator, said in the release. “Our partnership between the descendants of the Navajo Code Talkers and the Young Marines has strengthened year after year since 2006. It is a collaborative effort in which both parties create a successful

event for everyone to enjoy.”

The Young Marines participate for three days on the Navajo reservation.

They escort the Navajo Code Talkers during Navajo Code Talker Day and participate in a parade, a trail run and clean up, community service at a zoo, and museum education.

“Just being around these exceptional veterans make us feel as though we could take a step back in time,” Col. William P. Davis USMC (Ret), national executive director and CEO of the Young Marines, said in the release.

“The Young Marines are assuring the legacy of these very special veterans.

They will not be forgotten.”

Jazz concert is favorite event at yearly festival Queen City band, quartet play originals, iconic tunes

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Happy jazz fans gathered at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton on Aug. 16 for the 13th annual Littleton Jazz Foundation Concert, featuring Queen City Jazz Band, with vocalist Wende Harston. QCJB followed a start-up set by QCJB pianist Hank Troy’s Quartet, with vocalist M. Cateret and a bassist, drummer and guitarist.

About 200 attended this annual Western Welcome Week event, organized by longtime resident Charlie Carroll.

Troy introduced his quartet’s set as selections “from the Great American Songbook” and Cateret began with “Fools Rush In,” followed with Johnny Mercer’s “I Remember You” and continued with silky renditions of standards as Troy’s fingers danced across the keyboard.

After a brief intermission, members of the Queen City Jazz Band took their places on stage, with brass players marching in together, including leader/ tubist Bill Clark arriving last and quickly launching the group into the first number. A retired professor, Clark can’t resist educating his audience a bit — so we heard about rags, “Mississippi type” and others. As a kid in New Orleans, Louis Armstrong got a trumpet and learned to play rags, playing with King Oliver’s band. Oliver, on tour, called the young man to Chicago to play with his band … the rest is history. At those early New Orleans concerts, they played a cake walk. Best dancers would perhaps win a cake to take home.

The Queen City Jazz Band performed at Town Hall in Littleton in the 13th Annual Jazz Festival, a Western Welcome Week event.

COURTESY PHOTO “Walkin’ With the King” by Wende Harston and band followed here, introducing QCJB’s newest album by that name.

Clark reminisced about early jazz pianist Jelly Roll Morton, who “traveled the country with a band — and was also a great pool hustler and ran an `escort service’ …” “He made a lot of money,” Clark observed. Morton’s “Black Bottom Stomp” followed on the program. Then we learned about trombonist Kid Ory and his Creole trombone, as illustrated

by Eric Steffan. “A traditional Dixieland band par excellance,” Clark said.

As is the custom with this delightful band, instrumental solos stood out: clarinetist John Bredenberg,

trumpeter Kevin Bollinger, pianist Hank Troy, trombonist Eric Staffeldt.

Harston kicked in with the bands’ tongue-in-cheek tribute to western Welcome Week — “Cow-Cow Boogie.”

Harston continued to lecture briefly: The first blues appeared about 1920. She spoke of singer Ma Rainey and broke into “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Blues.”

The versatile band followed Harston into a gospel number. (Her dad was a pastor and she grew up singing gospel music.) “I’ll Fly Away.”

“What a Wonderful World” (shades of Louie Armstrong) closed out the evening.

The Bible Speaks – work Monday is Labor Day when we celebrate work & workers & the value they are to this country. Honest labor is to be sought & practiced by all.

The Bible puts high value on work. Adam was given work to do in the Garden of Eden (Gen 2:15). People are to enjoy their work (Eccl 3:22) & work hard even when the boss is not looking (Eph 6:5-7). Work is necessary to support ones family (1 Tim 5:8) & those who don’t work “shall not eat” at other’s expense (2 Thess 3:10). Workers are to be paid fair wages (Lev 19:13, Matt 10:10b) & are to be treated fairly & without favoritism (Eph 6:9).

Along with work, rest is mandated in the Bible. God rested after His work of creation & set one day of rest a week for us. So enjoy your holiday. hfsmail@basicisp.net

Cars still more efficient than newer SUVs

Expert cites ‘law of physics’ when giving nod to smaller vehicles

BY TOM KRISHER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Yes, your sport utility vehicle has gotten smaller and more fuel efficient over the years. But even with those gains, SUVs still are behind cars when it comes to gas mileage.

The reason: SUVs are taller and heavier than cars, and no matter how sculpted their bodies are, they still run into more wind resistance.

“It comes down to the laws of physics,’’ said Jake Fisher, director of auto testing for Consumer Reports. “All things being equal, if you put the same powertrain (engine and transmission) in a vehicle that is taller and heavier, you’re going to get better fuel economy out of the car than with an SUV.’’ A comparison by The Associated Press of the 10 top-selling 2019 SUVs and comparable cars with similar gasoline powertrains found that in all cases, cars beat the SUVs in mileage, in several instances by 14% or more. The comparison is between two-wheel-drive vehicles.

The Detroit Three automakers all

have stopped making many of their sedans as buyers shifted dramatically toward SUVs and trucks. But the companies said they would be ready with more efficient gas-powered SUVs as well as hybrid and electric utilities if gas prices spike.

About 70 percent of new-vehicle sales in the U.S. are SUVs and trucks and 30% cars as buyers opt for higher seating and more space to haul people and goods. It was about 50-50 just six years ago. SUVs also often are all-wheel-drive for better bad-weather performance, and they usually can tow heavier items.

Around a decade ago, many SUVs were based on truck underpinnings, and often their names were preceded by the words “gas-guzzling.’’ But as fuel prices spiked at times during the early 2000s, more efficient car-based SUVs started to gain in popularity.

Large truck-based SUVs are still around now, and they, too, get better mileage. But few gasoline-powered SUVs come anywhere close to comparable cars, according to Environmental Protection Agency estimates.

For instance, the most efficient gas-powered SUV in 2019, the small Nissan Kicks, gets 33 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. But the most efficient gaspowered car, the compact Mitsubishi Mirage, gets 39 mpg, 18% better.

Another good comparison is Hon-

da’s CR-V compact SUV and a similarly equipped Civic compact car.

With the same engine and transmission, the Civic gets far better mileage. A two-wheel-drive CR-V gets 30 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, but a Civic with the same 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission gets 36, or 20% higher. On the highway, the difference is even more pronounced with the Civic’s 42 mpg beating the larger CR-V by almost 24%.

Likewise, Toyota’s Highlander midsize SUV with a 2.7-liter fourcylinder engine gets 22 mpg in combined driving, but the recently updated Camry midsize car gets 34 mpg with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The Camry has a more efficient transmission that pushes its mileage 54% higher than the comparable Highlander, which will be updated for 2020.

Jeep’s Cherokee small SUV falls short of the mileage of the discontinued Dodge Dart compact car, even though the Cherokee was updated in 2019 and the Fiat Chrysler stopped making the Dart in 2016. A frontwheel-drive Cherokee with a 2-liter four-cylinder engine gets 26 mpg in city-highway driving, while the Dart mileage with a similar engine is 1 mpg, or 4% higher, at 27.

Even though SUVs and truck sales keep growing, research shows buy-

ers still want better fuel economy, said IHS Markit Principal Automotive Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Most buyers, though, pick the type of vehicle they want and then check for mileage, she said.

That’s exactly what Sabrina Walker, 28, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, did when she bought her 2010 Toyota RAV4 small SUV. She wanted the added cargo space to haul things for her house, go camping and transport her two dogs. She decided on an SUV, but then picked the RAV4 in part for its mileage. It can get up to 24 mpg in combined driving and 28 mpg on the highway, according to EPA estimates.

“I won’t ever go back to a small car, not unless it’s a sports car,’’ she said. “It’s always going to be an SUV for me.’’

Brinley says consumers will return to cars en masse if gas prices spike at the same time economy goes sour and people think their jobs are threatened.

Brian Moody, executive editor of Autotrader, predicts some buyers will return to cars after they no longer need larger SUVs to transport children and their gear. As more automakers cancel car models in favor of SUVs, sedans that are left will be top-notch vehicles, updated with new technology that includes smaller, more efficient turbocharged engines, he said.

Aerospace middle school opens at Centennial Airport Charter adds new aspect to flight campus of Wings Over Rockies

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The awkward middle school years got an exciting boost for many students last week when Colorado Skies Academy opened at Centennial Airport.

“It was very exciting the see students actively engaged in project-based learning,” said Robert Olislagers, the airport’s executive director. “This morning, I saw students learning about gravity using — I think — coffee filters for homemade parachutes. Several students commented that it was the best first day of school ever!”

The aerospace-focused middle school opened under the Cherry Creek School District after some bumps in its start.

The district halted the school’s application in November, only to have that decision remanded — or sent back — by the Colorado State Board of Education in January.

The school district said it supports the tuition-free public charter school,

d n o c Se l a u n An

but the school had failed to meet a necessary condition. Colorado Skies on Nov. 15 was required to provide documents indicating prospective students’ intent to enroll, but the school submitted only 24 letters of intent at that point. The school’s application said it intended to open with 225 students.

The current enrollment is 130 students “and quickly growing,” said Dave Cieslak, a spokesperson for the school. Colorado Skies agreed to provide enrollment status updates to the school district and has been keeping officials up-to-date, Cieslak added.

After getting past the regulatory hurdles, Colorado Skies held its first day of classes Aug. 19, kicking off an educational program that focuses on STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.

The school — launched by iLEAD, a California-based charter school entity — aims to prepare students for aviation and aerospace careers, its website says. The school is open to all residents of Colorado, not just those in Cherry Creek School District.

Suzanne Acheson, Colorado Skies’ director, said CSA is continuing to grow “and the sky truly is the limit!”

“We are overjoyed that hundreds of families from across our community have embraced Colorado Skies Academy and enrolled their learners at our school,” Acheson said in a statement.

“The overwhelming interest — which spread quickly through the community via social media and word of mouth — shows that parents want their children to benefit from our project-based learning curriculum and participate in our unique aerospace programs.”

In the right place The school is located at the 15-acre “Exploration of Flight” site at Centennial Airport, a new location for the nonprofit Wings Over the Rockies, which focuses on education about aviation and space.

Wings Over the Rockies points to a great need for personnel in the air and space industry — pilots, aircraft maintenance workers, engineers, airtraffic control and the like — and the Exploration of Flight campus wants to be part of the solution. Spokesperson Ben Theune has said the nonprofit wants to make the site “an ecosystem for aerospace education.”

Wings’ site also features the Boeing Blue Sky Aviation Gallery, the campus’ first facility, which opened in July 2018. It’s a 19,000-square-foot hangar that offers visitors a chance to use flight simulators and even experience flying in a real plane.

The Ozmen Black Sky Space Gallery, the next addition, will likely open in 2021 or later, Theune said. It’ll be based around cutting-edge space tech-

nology and concepts.

Facilities aside from the Blue and Black Sky galleries and Colorado Skies Academy are to be determined, and there will be space left to build on the site after Black Sky is finished, Theune said.

The Wings nonprofit also runs the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum at the former Lowry Air Force Base grounds in Denver.

Aviation pipeline Colorado Skies Academy sits at 13015 Wings Way near East County Line Road and South Peoria Street, on the southeast side of Centennial Airport.

The airport is mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County just south of Centennial and extends south into Douglas County. The airport’s name predates the city’s.

Cherry Creek School District also offers aviation-focused education at the nearby Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, which opened this month.

That 117,000-square-foot campus offers many areas of study — from construction management to cooking, from airplane maintenance to cybersecurity.

The Innovation Campus will offer both college credit and industryrecognized certifications for students looking to go straight to the workforce.

STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

She has the drive to dive Q&A with Lowry Who is your favorite athlete?

Haleigh Washington, who is on the USA Olympic team.

What would be a perfect performance in soccer?

I don’t really focus on numbers. I would just say depending on the match if I am doing better at serve/receive than defense, then I try to focus on serve/receive.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Math and science. Answers in math come pretty easy for me and for science, I find that really cool.

Leanne Lowry hopes to set state record for digs

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Leanne Lowry is comfortable this season.

The Castle View senior will be the Sabercats libero and defensive specialist after playing up front last season as an outside hitter.

“I’ve been playing volleyball since I was in kindergarten and that’s always the position I’ve gravitated towards,” said Lowry, who committed to play college volleyball at Iowa before her freshman year at Castle View. “Last year I did play outside hitter and that was just because it was best for the team. But libero, DS is really what I’m more

comfortable playing.”

Lowry, who holds school records for most digs in a season (736) and career (1,735), has her sights set on challenging the Colorado state record for career digs, which is 2,174 by MacKenzie Wells of Fruita Monument, who played between 2014-17.

“I’m reaching for the state record for digs,” Lowry admitted. “If I could get that, it would be awesome.

I’m really looking forward to this season. Being a senior, I’m kind of ready to somewhat leave my legacy here. In the past I’ve always been one of the youngest on the team and so now I’m ready to take on a leadership role.”

COACH’S TAKE: “She does so much for our team. She is an outstanding player. I wish I had kids like her all the time. She’s special.”

Scott Dowis Castle View girls volleyball coach

What do you like to do away from volleyball at Castle View?

At school I’m in Best Buddies, unified sports to help out the special needs kids. It’s something I’ve done for four years and it is the other biggest commitment I have.

What rituals do you have before or during a match?

What I do before a match is put on my headphones and listen to music. I’m usually pretty nervous before any match and that helps me calm down. I listen to more pop and alternative music.

What is your favorite movie?

“The Guardian.” It’s about the Coast Guard and it is amazing to see all the things they go through and see all the brave people.

What is your favorite dinner?

Spaghetti.

What do you think about boys volleyball being sanctioned next season?

I think that’s really awesome.

I’ve helped out the boys team for the past four years. Every year they have been fighting for it to be a CHSAA sport. It could bring more support for the game.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | Last season as an outside hitter, Lowry had 248 kills, 23 blocks and 481 digs.

She is 439 digs shy of the state record for career digs.

Four local golfers bound for national tourney

K

F

ent Moore of Centennial, let’s just say, is a veteran golfer who relies on his years of experience to keep pace with younger players.

He will be making his sixth appearance in a U.S. Mid-Amateur tournament, which will be held next month at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker OVERTIME and CommonGround Golf Club in Aurora.

Moore was one of four golfers to advance to the national tournament in a MidAmateur qualifying tournament that featured 81 Jim Benton players on Aug. 19 at The Club at Inverness in Arapahoe County.

David Lysaught of Denver was the medalist with a 1-under-par 69 while Moore, Matt Call of Castle Rock and Ryan Axlund of Aurora each carded even par rounds of 70 to earn a spot in the Mid-Am, which will be held Sept. 14-19.

The 36-hole stroke play portion will be held at Colorado Golf Club and CommonGround on Sept.

14 and 15 with the low 64 competitors advancing to match play, which will be hosted at Colorado Golf Club in Parker.

The Mid-Am is for amateur players who have reached their 25th birthday as of Sept. 14 and have a handicap index that does not exceed 3.4.

Moore has been a dominant player in the state with eight Colorado Golf Association titles but he is now 63 years old. He feels grateful to be making his 11th overall appearance in a USGA tournament.

“For me at 63, it is kind of a great gift to play with really good players and be in the mix of the event and the dinner,” said Moore.

“It will be great fun. Making the cut is a long shot but I will give it my best shot.”

He made enough shots to qualify on Aug. 19.

“I kept the ball in play and didn’t miss any short putts, which is always good for an older guy like me,” said Moore.

nine years as a professional, was under pressure from himself to qualify for the Mid-Am, which will be played at the Colorado Golf Club where he is a member.

“For me, I put a lot of pressure on myself because I really wanted to qualify for this event at my home club,” he said. “I probably put too much pressure on myself because I hit some squirrely shots but at the end of the day it worked out.

“You have to grind and just stick to it. It’s grinding out pars, and if you hit a bad shot just shake it off and keep banging away. I didn’t think 70 would be enough — turned out it was.

Now you have to get it around for 36 holes (at the Mid-Am) and get into match play. That’s the key.”

The qualifying tourney at Inverness was the second local event.

Earlier at the Omni Interlocken Golf Club in Broomfield, Nick Nosewicz of Aurora, Charlie Sahlman of Denver, Michael Harrington of Colorado Springs and Charlie Santaularia of Lakewood qualified for the national tournament.

Honor roll Each week, several performances of south metro-area athletes and

teams will be highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets from the start of the season through Aug. 22 • Arapahoe junior Katie Maney hit two home runs in three at-bats, scored three times and drove in five runs to support the one-hit pitching of her stepsister Kayleigh Krueger in a 12-0 softball win over Northglenn on Aug. 16.

• Senior Sara Larson helped Chaparral win its first three games of the softball season with two pitching victories and going 6-for-12 at the plate.

• Valor Christian’s softball team trailed Discovery Canyon 2-1 in a game on Aug. 19 but scored 12 runs in top of the sixth inning to post a 13-2 softball victory.

• Bo Wardynski of Regis Jesuit birdied two of the final four holes to card a 1-under-par 69 on Aug 21 and take medalist honors in the Continental League boys golf meet at Meadow Hills Golf Course.

• Douglas County’s boys soccer team played nine overtime games the past two seasons and the Huskies opened the 2019 campaign with a 3-2 overtime loss to Grandview on Aug. 22. The Huskies are now 3-7 in OT matches in a 31-game span.

• Will Kates of Arapahoe had two eagles en route to a 2-under-par 70 on Aug. 21 at a Centennial League boys golf tournament at South Suburban Golf Course.
