MY NAME IS

JOY THOMAS

Castle Rock dance studio owner also has love for puzzles About me I was born and raised in Colorado. I grew up in Golden and during my high school years my family moved to Parker. This is where I met my husband (we’ll be celebrating our 20th anniversary in May). Our first house was in Parker, then we moved to Castle Rock and called that home for 16 years. We just recently moved back to Parker. We have two teenage children, Brandon and Brooke, and are enjoying this journey in life together.

A career in dance I am the owner of Castle Rock Dance Academy. During my high school years when my family first moved to Parker, I was introduced to the owner of a local dance studio there. I was 15 at the time and started taking classes, assisting and eventually started teaching. My first class was a ballet/tap combo group of about eight kids ages 3 to 4. I continued working and eventually took on older age groups and different dance styles.

When my husband and I moved to Castle Rock and started having kids, our dynamics changed. It was then that, together, we started Kids Dance. It was a small studio that was geared toward younger dancers. I did all the teaching and my husband took care of the administrative side of things.

Through the years, things changed quite a bit. My husband went back to work with his previous company, I was able to hire great instructors who each bring something unique and wonderful to the studio, and our very young dancers grew up. A couple years ago I decided to change the name of the studio from Kids Dance to Castle Rock Dance Academy. We are in our 13th season and the name change reflects the growth (we now have classes for students ages 3 to adult) and we also offer various styles of dance.

Why I love instructing dance By far, the most rewarding aspect of this studio is watching the kids learn and grow. It’s pretty amazing to see a student who was 3 when she started, stick with it year after year, and is now a teenager.

A unique hobby I don’t have a lot of free time, but I do love building puzzles. My family allows me to have one a year (for Christmas) because I have a serious addiction and will literally ignore all other responsibilities until the puzzle is completed My advice Something that has been prevalent in my life is to be open to new ideas.

It’s good to have a plan (I was going to be an elementary school teacher), but don’t have tunnel vision. Sometimes taking a leap of faith can end up being one of the greatest blessings of all.

Interim superintendent will apply for permanent position School board picks search firm at special meeting

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District interim Superintendent Erin Kane has announced that she will apply for the permanent superintendent position.

“Many of you have asked me if I intend to apply,” Kane wrote in a Jan. 8 email to parents. “My family and I have been carefully considering that question for the past couple of months — and I have decided to apply for the permanent position.”

The school board has Kane decided to do a national search for the position. In late December, board members selected Ray and Associates, a firm that specializes in national school executive searches, for the task. A permanent superintendent is expected to be selected by the first week of April, according to school board President David Ray. Kane was hired in 2016 after Elizabeth Fagen resigned to take a position in the Humble Independent School District in Texas. Many teachers and parents blamed Fagen, who was hired in 2010

by a school board majority of reformminded members, for policies that led to an exodus of teachers and administrators over the past several years. During her tenure, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union.

In January 2016, the Douglas County School Board extended Kane’s contract through the 2017-18 school year.

Hiring a permanent superintendent was a hot topic during last year’s election. Four anti-reform candidates who supported a national superintendent search were elected to the school board. The outcome marked a shift in power after eight years of an oftencontroversial majority board.

On Dec. 4, the new school board voted 7-0 to hire a firm to conduct a national search for a new superintendent. In the decision process, the school board considered two other options: conducting a regional search in-house or hiring Kane as permanent superintendent.

“I do see that it is an investment,” board member Wendy Vogel said of a national search at the Dec. 4 meeting.

“And it is something that will pay off in the long run for us and specifically for our students.”

After interviewing three national search firms at length, Ray and fellow board member Kevin Leung at a Dec. 30 special meeting recommended the school board select Ray and Associates, a search firm based in Cedar

Rapids, Iowa. The school board unanimously approved the firm. Ray noted the firm’s experience in Colorado — last year, Ray and Associates conducted a superintendent search for Jeffco Public Schools and it is currently leading a superintendent search for Boulder Valley School District.

“I really think as we were looking at who they actually assisted, they had more experience with larger school districts like ours,” Ray said at the meeting.

He also commented on the firm’s selection process. Ray and Associates uses research-based tools and videotapes candidate interviews, expediting and making the process more efficient, as well as saving money on travel expenses, said Ray. The cost of the firm, excluding travel expenses, is $40,000. The money will come from the school board’s budget, which is used for costs such as legal expenses and conferences.

To fund the search, the board reprioritized its budget and discontinued contracting with a lobbyist to save money, Ray said.

“This is certainly a big decision that impacts the learning of 68,000 kids and we are taking it very seriously,” said Ray. “We have a very rigorous process in place.”

Ray and Associates, which has conducted roughly 2,000 searches in 42 years, will recruit candidates based

on a profile created by the Douglas County School Board, with input from the community. Forums will be held across Douglas County on Jan. 23 and 24 to allow community members to voice the qualities they want in a superintendent. Locations are listed at www.dcsdk12.org/superintendentsearch.

“It’s also going to be a conversation around what are the things in our district that we want to preserve and what are things that we want a leader to help us with to move us forward,” Ray said. “It will really be those types of questions that people can weigh in on.”

Ray and Associates will spend an agreed-upon amount of time recruiting and then will spend 10 days conducting “thorough” background investigations of each candidate, explained Bill Newman, a representative of Ray and Associates, at the special meeting.

When the search is narrowed down to three candidates, there will be more opportunities for public input. Information about special meetings and the search process will be updated on DCSD’s website.

“I think engaging the public on the front end is a good idea because it gives them buy-in,” Newman said.

“And we encourage them to attend meetings where it’s open to the public relating to the search.”

January 18, 2018 Dr. Ron Morley speaks to parents about the difference between a moody teenager and a teenager who may need medical or psychiatric intervention.

TABATHA STEWART

Teens may be moody — or in need of help Parents attend school district’s informational workshop in Lone Tree

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Being a teenager can be difficult.

School demands, social pressures and self-imposed expectations can take a toll on young people of both sexes, often causing moodiness and irritability. Historically these symptoms have been chalked up to “hormones,” or “being a teenager,” and been dealt with through discipline, arguments and family strife.

But when are a teenager’s mood swings a sign of a deeper problem?

Parents from all over Douglas County attended a class through Douglas County School District’s Parent University, held at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, to learn more about teenage behavior, marijuana use and borderline personality disorder. Parent University sponsors a class each month for parents and students, addressing various issues affecting young people.

“We have teenagers, and it’s always nice to be informed,” said parent Kym Scearce, who attended the class along with her husband T.D. Schenck.

“We’re going to take the information we learned tonight home and share it with our kids.”

Dr. Ron Morley, a child and adolescent psychologist with the Colorado Psychiatry Center, with offices in Centennial, Lakewood and Northglenn, presented the recent class on teenage moodiness, and started his lecture by telling parents the difference between bipolar disorder, depression, and a growingly common diagnosis — borderline personality disorder.

“Bipolar disorder is pretty rare in kids. However, there’s a third disorder that can be confused with bipolar disorder, and that’s borderline personality disorder,” said Morley.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, borderline personality disorder is a mental illness marked by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image and behavior.

People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense epi-

SIGNS OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER Signs of borderline personality disorder According to Dr. Ron Morley, a child and adolescent psychologist with the Colorado Psychiatry Center, signs of borderline personality disorder include: • Fear of abandonment • Intense relationships • Unstable sense of self • Reactive mood • Feelings of emptiness and/or anger • Transient paranoia sodes of anger, depression and anxiety that can last from a few hours to days.

Many of the symptoms can be the same in both disorders, but the difference, according to Morley, is that borderline personality disorder often becomes less severe as the child ages. BPD is more common in young girls, he said, since they often have an unstable sense of self, and about 40 percent of young girls admitted to psychiatric hospitals are diagnosed with BPD. The good news, according to Morley, is that “60 to 80 percent of adolescents diagnosed with BPD will no longer meet the criteria in two years.”

There are several factors that can contribute to BPD, including genetics, abuse and family environment. Morley recommends that parents who are concerned about their child’s behavior talk to their pediatrician.

Morley also spoke about the effects of marijuana use on a young person’s brain, telling parents that today’s pot is 700 percent more potent than pot they may have encountered 20 years ago. He cautioned them that even though marijuana is legal for adult use in several states, that doesn’t mean it’s safe for young people to use.

“Basically, you’ll have a kid who is currently actively damaging their brain,” said Morley.

Dan McGuyre, father of a teenage girl, said he makes the drive from Castle Rock each month to attend the classes offered by Parent University, and usually brings his daughter along.

“I come to every class. Because I’m a dad of a girl, and it’s always good to be informed. I typically bring her with me and we learn a lot together,” said McGuyre.

Audubon Society files appeal of Chatfield expansion Environmental group says rising water levels would harm ecosystem

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An environmentalist group will appeal a judge’s decision that plans to expand Chatfield Reservoir could go forward, despite the group’s assertion that the Army Corps of Engineers’ project to raise the waterline by up to 12 feet will do unnecessary damage to the ecosystem surrounding the lake.

The Audubon Society of Greater Denver filed suit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2014, claiming that the Corps’ plans will drown vital wetlands and forests, including the habitat of the threatened Preble’s meadow jumping mouse.

A judge in the U.S. District Court for the State of Colorado ruled in favor of the Corps in December, saying that Audubon hadn’t provided sufficient evidence that the plans violated the National Environmental Policy Act. Audubon is appealing the ruling, and seeking an injunction to halt construction that started shortly after.

“We were disappointed, but not surprised, by the district court’s ruling on our case and have filed our appeal in hopes of saving Chatfield State Park from this wrong-headed project,” said Polly Reetz, Audubon’s conservation chair, in a statement announcing the appeal.

The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, which is overseeing the project, declined to comment, citing ongoing litigation.

The $130 million project will allow water storage for eight municipal water providers and agricultural or-

ganizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado. Construction is expected to take two years to complete.

The project will necessitate removing trees and moving recreational facilities around the lakeshore.

Audubon’s lawsuit was based in large part on the concept that the initial Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, prepared by the Corps failed to adequately examine possible alternatives to the plan, which would add more than 20,000 acre-feet of capacity to the reservoir.

“Denver Audubon asserts that the Corps did not seriously consider a number of sound, reasonable alternatives that would do less environmental damage,” Audubon said in a press release, “including increased water conservation, use of space in Rueter-Hess reservoir, storing water in underground aquifers, and storage in repurposed gravel pits like the South Platte Reser-

voir near Chatfield.”

Judge Philip Brimmer wrote in his ruling that Audubon’s assertions were inadequate to stop the project because the project’s stated goal is to increase water storage capacity to serve the metro area’s growing population, not to reduce the amount of water used.

Brimmer also said that Rueter-Hess Reservoir, near Parker, was recently expanded itself and shows no indication of being capable of further expansion. Brimmer’s ruling does not appear to make mention of the idea of storing water in underground aquifers, but it calls the idea of utilizing nearby gravel pits to meet water storage needs impractical given the relative cost and logistical difficulty.

Audubon’s appeal, filed in court on Jan. 8, argues that the court erred in its findings on alleged Clean Water Act SEE CHATFIELD, P28

Gunman lured deputies to apartment, sheriff says Riehl used multiple firearms, surveillance cameras in battle with law enforcement

the officers except Pelle were released from the hospital by the night of Jan. 1, but Pelle was expected to make a full recovery.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 911 call that brought deputies to a Highlands Ranch apartment for a second time on New Year’s Eve was a strategic and calculated move, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

Matthew Riehl, who made the call, believed he would have the advantage there, the sheriff said. Riehl had set up barricades and surveillance cameras. He had multiple guns and plenty of ammunition inside his second-floor apartment.

“I do believe that he lured them back on that second call based upon the type of call it was and what he was saying and what he was doing,” Spurlock said.

Riehl killed Deputy Zackari Parrish and wounded six others — four officers and two civilians — before he was shot to death by a regional SWAT team.

Riehl was going through a manic episode, deputies said.

Spurlock said he wants to be sensitive to the fact that Riehl was experiencing a mentalhealth crisis.

“But I don’t want to blame it on mental health, by any means,” he said more than a week after the shooting.

As questions remained about why Riehl opened fire on deputies, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office released to the media hours of body camera footage, chronicling the events that unfolded at the Copper Canyon Apartments on Dec. 31.

Deputy down “Matthew, come out,” Deputy

This still image taken from a body camera video released by the sheriff’s office shows members of the regional SWAT team securing the perimeter near Matthew Riehl’s apartment on Dec. 31.

COURTESY PHOTO Taylor Davis implored as deputies entered Riehl’s home with a key his roommate provided.

Riehl, 37, a U.S. Army veteran and former lawyer, was well-known to law enforcement in Colorado and Wyoming.

He’d been investigated by University of Wyoming police and reportedly harassed Lone Tree police, for which the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office was considering criminal charges. But the district attorney’s office said Riehl’s actions were most likely protected by the First Amendment.

Numerous red flags raised about Riehl’s mental wellbeing resulted in officers conducting welfare checks, sometimes at the request of his family, and attempting to determine if he needed any intervention.

Then, on New Year’s Eve, officers visited Riehl for the last time.

The situation quickly escalated from a domestic disturbance call to a mental health call to a standoff with law enforcement.

Four Douglas County

Sheriff ’s Office deputies and a sergeant moved single file into Riehl’s apartment, shoving their way through a barricade.

Davis, the first deputy in line, held up a shield as they called numerous times to Riehl, who was holed up in his bedroom.

Before entering his apartment, deputies determined Riehl was going through a manic episode. Their last encounter, less than an hour earlier, ended with him slamming a door in their face. Now, they were attempting to place him on a mental health hold.

Body camera video shows the deputies calling to Riehl five times, asking him to come out. Riehl is heard yelling to them from inside his room.

Deputies kick his door four times, and then, a flurry of gunshots burst from Riehl’s bedroom. A gaping hole appears in the door almost instantly.

Deputies Michael Doyle and Jeff Pelle take a few steps outside the apartment when they realize two of their comrades, Davis and Parrish, are trapped

inside. They immediately turn back.

“He’s down,” one deputy says of Parrish. The deputy calls for cover as he drops to the ground. Between the deputy and Parrish is Riehl’s bedroom.

He begins to crawl forward, reaching for Parrish, when another round of bullets rains down on them. Doyle and Pelle cry out as they’re hit, and are forced to retreat, leaving Parrish and Davis behind.

In the chaos, however, Pelle and Doyle had not seen Davis run to another bedroom. There, she smashed the window and jumped from the second story to escape the ambush, although she too had been shot.

Only Parrish remained inside, where he stayed with the gunman for nearly 90 minutes before SWAT officers could reach him.

Parrish died of multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies Davis, Doyle and Pelle and Castle Rock police officer Tom O’Donnell and two civilians were wounded by Riehl. All

‘Open the door’ The first 911 call that brought deputies to Riehl’s apartment Dec. 31 came at 3 a.m., and it was in a noise complaint. The second call, made by Riehl, came at 5:14 a.m. for an alleged domestic assault. The first deputy arrived on scene at 5:17 a.m.

At 5:57 a.m., Riehl fired the first shots at officers. By 7:30 a.m., Riehl’s rampage had been stopped by the SWAT team.

Eight body camera videos released by the sheriff ’s office Jan. 9 piece together the events that unfolded that morning.

The standoff itself lasted less than two hours, but the videos, each from a different officer, are a combined 7 1/2 hours of footage.

The footage shows deputies’ repeated attempts to communicate with Riehl before deciding to detain him on a mental health hold.

“It’s Zack. Matt, open the door,” Parrish called to Riehl through his closed apartment door during the second 911 call they responded to at Riehl’s home.

Parrish identified himself nearly 10 times in response to Riehl’s insistent requests for him to do so.

In addition to following deputies as they enter Riehl’s cluttered apartment and capturing the moment Riehl opened fire on them through his closed bedroom door, the videos show law enforcement swarming to the scene, evacuating residents, scaling balconies, strategizing and conducting the raid that ended Riehl’s life.

Law enforcement wanted to charge Riehl before shooting Attorneys believed suspect was protected by freedom of speech

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Law enforcement officers were actively searching for ways to criminally charge Matthew Riehl, the suspect in

a New Year’s Eve shooting that left Douglas County Deputy Zackari Parrish dead, for his behavior in the weeks before the shooting because local police considered it harassment, documents show.

Prior to the shooting, a deputy had visited Riehl to determine if he needed “some sort of intervenRiehl tion.”

On Dec. 31, Riehl was shot to death

by a SWAT team after killing Parrish and wounding four other officers and two civilians. Authorities say he fired more than 100 rounds at officers.

Investigative reports and email exchanges obtained by Colorado Community Media show law enforcement grappling with how to respond to Riehl’s behavior toward law enforcement. Ultimately, a lawyer with the district attorney’s office said it would not be appropriate to charge Riehl and doing so would potentially violate his First Amendment rights.

A Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office detective began investigating information provided by the Lone Tree Police Department concerning Riehl in late November. The police department reported Riehl was harassing a specific officer and the city’s municipal court.

The alleged harassment began after the Lone Tree police officer issued Riehl a speeding ticket on Nov. 10. The detective’s reports show Riehl was initially uncooperative with the officer, SEE SHOOTER, P11

‘He’s very manic and very upset right now’

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The following are partial descriptions of what is shown in body camera footage from Deputy Zackari Parrish and Deputy Michael Doyle during the law enforcement response to Matthew Riehl’s apartment on Dec. 31.

Parrish’s view The 35-minute portion of Parrish’s body camera footage released Jan. 9 illustrates what happened after the first of two 911 calls came in Dec. 31.

Parrish appears to be the first deputy on scene and waits until others arrive before approaching Riehl’s apartment at the Copper Canyon complex off County Line Road. He tells a deputy, who is not visible in the footage, “There’s a camera” on Riehl’s apartment door. The two then approach the second-story apartment and knock.

Riehl opens the door and greets officers.

“My roommate freaked out on me and came at me,” he tells them as his roommate enters the room.

Deputies separate the two men — Riehl is taken outside and Parrish remains inside with Riehl’s roommate.

Over the next 30 minutes, at least three deputies interview both Riehl and the roommate about an argument between the two that night. They learn the two met while working at Walmart and have lived together for several months.

Only the roommate’s name is on the lease.

The roommate tells Parrish the argument began when he confronted Riehl around 1:25 a.m. for yelling out their door.

He was concerned because the two received a noise complaint the day before, he said. The roommate remains calm but confused as he talks with deputies about Riehl’s behavior.

Meanwhile, Riehl claims he called authorities after becoming concerned with his roommate for allegedly not knowing what year it was and because he felt unsafe in the earlier confrontation. Riehl also claims he called out of concern for his roommate’s health after he shined a light in his eyes.

At one point, while Parrish

family reported he was bipolar and had post-traumatic stress disorder from a year’s deployment to Iraq in 2009.

Police at the University of Wyoming, where Riehl obtained his law degree, investigated him in the fall for making what a spokesman called “alarming” social media posts about the university’s law college and its professors.

They increased security. They warned students, faculty and staff. And later, they alerted police in Lone Tree, where Riehl was believed to be living, about his behavior.

The Lone Tree Police Department had a relationship with Riehl of its own. Starting in November, Riehl began “harassing” an officer who issued him a speeding ticket, and the city’s municipal court, in an effort to get the officer fired and the ticket dismissed, the department has said.

Later that month, when his behavior escalated, the department contacted the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office to investigate, as by that time, Riehl had moved to Highlands Ranch, which is in unincorporated Douglas County.

Officials determined there was no evidence Riehl had made any direct threats toward anyone.

‘They knew his history’ In speaking with Colorado Community Media the day of the Jan. 9 release of the videos, Spurlock said authorities found 15 weapons in Riehl’s apartment, 11 of

interviews the roommate in the apartment, Riehl is heard loudly yelling “assault, assault, rape, rape, rape” outside as he’s interviewed by another deputy.

Parrish walks down the stairs to them where Riehl is being held against a wall by the deputy. The two are arguing about Riehl providing identification. The situation de-escalates and Parrish returns to speak with the roommate upstairs.

“It sounds like he might have some mental issues,” Parrish later tells the roommate, who says he hopes Riehl will be moving out soon.

Deputies cleared the call at 3:44 a.m. As they leave, Riehl is heard shouting, “Happy new year.”

Doyle’s view Approximately 40 minutes of body camera footage from Doyle shows deputies’ efforts to speak with Riehl during the second 911 call before deciding to place him on a mental health hold.

When Parrish first knocks on the door, Riehl can be heard from inside the apartment repeatedly asking

which were functional.

Riehl used four firearms — a shotgun, an M4 rifle, an M16 rifle and a .45-caliber handgun — during the confrontation with law enforcement, the sheriff said. A joint investigation with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined all Riehl’s weapons were legally purchased between 2010 and 2016.

Riehl also used two surveillance cameras, one posted outside his apartment and the other inside, to observe law enforcement before and during the shooting, Spurlock said.

“They didn’t have the advantage of knowing that he had a video camera on them at all times,” Spurlock said of his deputies. “We do know that he used those cameras in the attack on us based on how he was laying down gunfire.”

Despite Riehl’s history with law enforcement, he had no formal criminal record.

Still, the four deputies and their sergeant were aware of his past when they responded to the two 911 calls from Riehl’s apartment the morning of the shooting, the sheriff said. They also knew from his roommate that Riehl had guns.

“They knew his history and they knew his propensity to have some mental-health issues,” Spurlock said. “That’s why there were four deputies and a supervisor. Otherwise that call would have been two deputies. Any other mental health call doesn’t get the attention that this individual got.

“Once they determined that they were going to take him to the hospital, they did some additional things for protection purposes. They brought a shield with them that they probably don’t (normally) take out of their cars on these kinds of cases.”

Parrish to identify himself.

Deputy Taylor Davis stands just to Parrish’s right on the top few steps and Doyle positions himself midway up the stairwell for most the encounter.

Parrish complies with Riehl’s insistent requests, often saying, “It’s Zack. Matt, open the door.” He identifies himself nearly 10 times before Riehl agrees to speak with them face-to-face.

“Are you OK,” Parrish asks once he does. Davis, who’d stood prepared with her gun drawn, quietly holsters her weapon. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said deputies knew Riehl had guns.

Riehl is extremely agitated.

He’s upset about their earlier visit where he says they did not help him after he reported his roommate assaulted him.

Parrish confirms with Riehl there was no physical assault and offers to give Riehl a number to the county’s civil division. Riehl insists on filing a restraining order immediately and claims he’s already called the civil division.

“Did you not get that message,” he says before slamming the door.

Riehl can then be heard shouting and ranting from inside the apartment. Parrish resumes calling to him through the closed door. By now, deputies have decided to detain him on an “M-1” mental health hold. An M-1 is a hold approved by the Colorado Department of Human Services for people who need to be hospitalized due to risky behavior.

“Let’s back off this door in case he does get a gun,” Parrish tells Davis, and the two take a few steps away.

Doyle is heard saying into his radio, “He’s very manic and very upset right now.”

Riehl resumes repeatedly demanding for Parrish to identify himself, which he does. The deputies leave a few minutes later when Riehl does not come to the door.

The body camera footage goes silent sometime between 5:35 a.m. and the 5:57 a.m. shooting but they can be seen talking among each other on the apartment grounds.

Spurlock said in a video statement released Jan. 8 that the deputies spent that time forming a plan to get Riehl help.

Colorado aerospace companies flying high Leaps in technology, beefy defense spending support space industry

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s economy may be more associated with beer and marijuana than space, but the state’s robust aerospace industry is flying high.

Leaps in technology and beefed-up defense spending have been kind to the hundreds of aerospace companies in Colorado, many centered in the Denver suburbs, where legions of engineers are designing, building and operating space-age technology with globe-spanning influence.

“We’re first in the nation in terms of per-capita aerospace employment,” said Jay Lindell, a retired Air Force major general whose job title is “champion” of the state’s aerospace and defense industry for the state Office of Economic Development and International Trade.

More than 25,000 aerospace workers are employed in Colorado, Lindell said, in more than 400 companies. And while Colorado is home to some of the industry’s big names — Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace and United Launch Alliance — more than half of the state’s aerospace companies have 10 employees or fewer.

The aerospace industry is diverse, said Vicky Lea, director of the Aerospace and Aviation Division at the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., which houses the Denver-based Colorado Space Coalition, a consortium of industry stakeholders.

“We’ve got great representation in all three pillars of the industry: civil, commercial and military,” Lea said.

The bulk of the industry’s funding still comes from government contracting, but the private sector is picking up.

“We added more than a thousand new aerospace jobs in Colorado last year,” Lea said. “That’s the biggest jump in a decade.”

They’re good jobs, too: The average salary for an aerospace worker is $130,000, Lea said, more than double the overall state average.

At the vanguard Some of the projects at the vanguard of 21st-century spaceflight are being developed at Lockheed Martin, said Joe Rice, Lockheed’s director of government relations. Lockheed, which largely pioneered the aerospace industry in Colorado, has offices and facilities scattered around the southwest metro area, including a large campus in Waterton Canyon in unincorporated Jefferson County.

“We’re designing and developing the Orion spacecraft, which will take astronauts back to the moon and eventually to Mars,” Rice said. “And we’ve sent spacecraft to every planet in the solar system.”

Some of Lockheed’s most influential work is also some of its less visible.

Technicians work on a global positioning system satellite at Lockheed Martin’s Waterton Canyon campus last August. Lockheed is one of the heavy hitters of the Colorado aerospace industry.

AEROSPACE ADDS UP Aerospace is a driver of employment in Colorado by any measure.

According to statistics compiled by the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation: Colorado’s aerospace industry employed 25,500 people in 2015-2016, with an additional 29,090 military aerospace personnel in the state, for a total of 54,590. Their collective payroll was more than $3.4 billion.

The company’s GOES satellites are the foundation of space-based weather monitoring, and 19 of the planet’s 31 Global Positioning System, or GPS, satellites were built by Lockheed.

The GPS satellites also broadcast a timing signal that is used to certify global financial transactions, Rice said, and the whole shebang is controlled from Schreiver Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

“We’re the center of the world for GPS,” Lindell said. “There’s not a military mission that gets done without it. I was on a tour at Schriever, and one of the operators said to me: ‘Well sir, we control humanity.’”

Rice said Lockheed also provides Colorado with “pride and culture.”

“It’s difficult to find a classroom that hasn’t had someone from Lockheed come in to talk about what they do,” Rice said.

Other industry big shots call Colorado home. United Launch Systems, a joint Lockheed-Boeing consortium responsible for launching NASA and military satellites, is based in Centennial. DigitalGlobe, which produces geospatial imagery, is based in Westminster. Ball Aerospace has offices in Westminster, Broomfield and Boulder; Raytheon has offices in Aurora, Green-

Between 2011 and 2016, employment in Colorado’s aerospace sector grew by 2.1 percent, while the national figure fell by 3.2 percent.

Arapahoe County is home to a plurality — 31.5 percent — of Colorado’s aerospace workers. Jefferson County is second with 23.7 percent. El Paso is home to 20.9 percent, Boulder has 19.8 percent, Adams 2.4 percent, and the other 59 counties are home to the remaining 1.6 percent. wood Village and Colorado Springs; Northrop Grumman has offices in Longmont, Aurora and Colorado Springs; and Sierra Nevada has offices in Centennial and Louisville.

From cowboys to rockets Colorado began its development into an aerospace powerhouse in the years following World War II, when the state was known more for its miners and cowboys than engineering feats, Rice said.

“It all really got started when the Glenn L. Martin company — the precursor to Lockheed Martin — decided to relocate here in 1956,” Rice said.

“The idea was threefold: that we were out of the range of Russian missiles at the time, that the mountains offered some protection, and that the geology was stable for advanced telemetry experiments.”

The defense industry rush that followed helped grow the Denver metro area into the powerhouse it is today, said Stephen Leonard, a professor of history at Metropolitan State University of Denver, who has written some of the seminal tomes of Colorado history.

“Martin brought high-paying jobs, and supplier companies followed,”

Leonard said. “Soon lots of companies discovered what an attractive place this is, and that contributed majorly to the growth of the southwestern suburbs. Without Martin, Littleton would have remained little a lot longer than it did.”

The industry enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the state’s military installations, including U.S. Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

Leonard said the area used to have a better awareness of the achievements in its midst, before the aerospace industry got diffused into a more diverse economy.

“It’s an extremely important and underappreciated role,” Leonard said.

“Big newspapers were always celebrating some new achievement that Lockheed was making, and they do less of that now, unfortunately.”

The next frontier?

Looking to the future, the sky’s the limit, Lindell said.

“We’re seeing lots of growth in commercial and private spaceflight,” Lindell said. “And satellites are getting cheaper, smaller, and more capable.”

Lindell said Colorado’s aerospace profile may grow if plans to develop the state’s first spaceport get off the ground. Based at Front Range Airport near DIA, the spaceport would accommodate space planes, which will take off and land like normal airplanes.

A number of industry groups will host Aerospace Day at the Colorado Capitol on March 19, an annual event featuring demonstrations and presentations of the state’s aerospace prowess.

“We want people to get as excited about this stuff as we are,” Lindell said. “We’re at the forefront of some big things here. Keep your eye on this industry — it’s really taking off.”

officers to Nazis and refused to attend a court appearance that resulted from his speeding ticket, saying the court was run by corrupt officers.

The reports also show that as recently as Dec. 5, a deputy accompanied by a clinician visited Riehl to determine if he was “in need of some sort of intervention.” Riehl asked if the deputy had a warrant, and after learning they did not, the report says Riehl “replied that they had interrupted his movie and proceeded to slam the door.”

Emails sent between the sheriff ’s office detective, Phil Domenico, and an attorney with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Senior Deputy District Attorney Doug Bechtel, show officials debating if and how they could bring criminal charges against Riehl.

The detective considered charges for harassment, posting the personal information of a law enforcement officer online, attempting to influence a public servant and intimidating a witness.

and although he eventually became compliant, remained on scene after the ticket was issued to watch officers in his rearview mirror.

Riehl then “embarked on an email campaign,” according to the detective’s report. Riehl also posted numerous YouTube videos about the incident, including a slew of insults directed at the officer.

Riehl sent multiple emails to the Lone Tree police officer. In one email, he insulted the officer and stated he was more qualified to do his job.

He sent 15 emails to the City of Lone Tree Municipal Court between Nov. 15 and Dec. 5, disparaging the officer and seeking to have the ticket dismissed. In one of the emails, Riehl wrote the officer’s personal address, which he later shared on Twitter.

He also compared Lone Tree police

Throughout his investigation, however, Domenico said he did not find evidence Riehl made direct threats toward anyone or their property — only that his emails contained “a lot of rambling and rhetoric” and that Riehl spoke “very ill” of the Lone Tree police officer.

Domenico provided his reports to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and asked if an email Riehl wrote to the Lone Tree police officer mentioning the officer’s wife and commenting on Riehl’s skills as a marksman finally warranted criminal charges.

“I should have your job. I’m smarter than you. I’m better qualified. I have combat proven medical training and I’ve practiced in Federal court.

You are a fumbling lying perjuring buffoon,” Riehl wrote to the police officer, according to Domenico’s report.

Riehl went on to say he wanted the officer’s house and pension but told the officer, “you can keep your wife and the dog if you have one.”

The quote ends with Riehl saying,

“I could drive circles around you and if it ever came down to it, you know I’m a more disciplined marksman than your shaking pathetic lying (expletive).”

In an email dated Dec. 14, Bechtel said the office did not believe charges were appropriate, stating Riehl was likely protected by the First Amendment, “especially given the wide latitude since we are public officials.”

Bechtel suggested telling Riehl to stop his communications could create grounds for harassment charges if Riehl were to ignore that request.

“We have an argument that when a suspect continues to communicate after a clear `Do not contact me’ communication, that it is for the purpose of annoying, harassing or alarming.

In this case, the defendant’s intent seems to be to get the ticket dismissed,” Bechtel said after explaining pursuing the case in court as it stood then would likely be unsuccessful.

“We do not believe,” Bechtel wrote, “there is a likelihood of success at trial.”

Parker woman is ‘Face’ of medical nonprofit Courageous Faces offers services for people with rare conditions

Parker resident Maddie Teagarden advocates for people with rare medical conditions nationally as part of the Courageous Faces Foundation.

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you ask Parker resident Maddie Teagarden what happened to her legs, and why she’s in a wheelchair, you might get the answer “shark attack.”

The good-natured 20-year-old, who had both of her legs amputated when she was just 10 years old, said she doesn’t mind curious people asking her about her condition, but sometimes can’t resist the urge to tell them she was attacked by a shark, just to see their reaction.

“I always tell them I’m just joking, but the look on their faces is pretty funny,” said Teagarden. “You have to be able to laugh, and joke, no matter the situation.”

It’s Teagarden’s positive attitude that earned her the honor of being a “Face” for the Centennial-based nonprofit Courageous Faces. The foundation provides support and services for people who have rare medical conditions, including Teagarden, who was born with sacral agenesis/caudal regression syndrome (SA/CRS).

Courageous Faces was created to help fill immediate needs of people with rare conditions, and helped Teagarden recently by adding a wheelchair ramp in the garage of her home, and a shower that she can access using her wheelchair.

SA/CRS only happens in 1 of 60,000 children born each year. As Teagarden grew in the womb, her lower spine didn’t develop properly, causing problems with her organs and affecting the development of her legs. She has had 75 surgeries throughout her life, but said the challenges are just part of who she is.

“I actually like having a disability. It makes me different and made me who I am today, and I like who I am,” said Teagarden. “I’m just like any teenage girl; my life is not better or worse than yours, I just have to live my life a little differently.”

“Maddie is an amazing young

Maddie Teagarden is a “Face” of the Courageous Faces Foundation. Her photo was used on a poster for a previous foundation event, declaring every “Face” a superhero.

ABOUT COURAGEOUS FACES Courageous Faces was founded by Trish Morris in 2014. After retiring from the world of finance, Morris volunteered with special needs people through the Rocky Mountain Special Olympics teams. She realized people with rare medical conditions didn’t have as much support from the community as people with well-known conditions.

Morris took to social media in search of people with rare medical conditions, and began contacting them to offer support and networking.

The foundation currently has 17 “Faces” and advocates for more than a dozen rare conditions. To learn more about the Courageous “Faces,” visit https://www.courageousfaces foundation.org/. woman,” said Trish Morris, founder of Courageous Faces. “Her attitude, and her sense of humor, is truly, truly incredible.”

Teagarden has always taken an active part in her medical care, including making several major decisions that were not necessarily supported by the medical community. At the age of 8, because of the SA/CRS, she was unable to determine when she had a bowel movement. Unhappy with the situation, she asked for a colostomy, which would remove the need for protective underwear and unwanted bowel movements. After a compelling argument, Teagarden got her wish, and said it was one of the first steps to independence.

Colorado lawmakers started their new legislative session amid tension over unresolved sexual misconduct allegations against some of their colleagues, including one case in which a female lawmaker maintains she felt threatened after rejecting the sexual advances of a fellow Democratic lawmaker.

In the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, many Democrats, especially women, wore black — as many actors did at last week’s Golden Globe Awards — to show support for Rep. Faith Winter, who filed a formal complaint against Rep. Steve Lebsock in November. While lawmakers often bring their children to join them for the first day of the session, on Jan. 10, Winter invited two other women who have accused Lebsock of harassment to join her in the House.

Outside the Capitol, about a dozen protesters greeted arriving lawmakers, lobbyists and aides — holding signs with slogans like “Time’s Up! Step Down Steve.”

Lebsock, who denies the allegations and is running for state treasurer, was present — two days after providing his colleagues copies of a 28-page document defending himself.

He stoically answered “Here” during roll call. And he stood briefly, then sat back down again, as fellow Democrats gave rousing applause as House Speaker Crisanta Duran declared, “there is no place for harassment, hate speech or discrimination in this chamber.”

The session began under a cloud of tension after harassment complaints were filed last fall against Lebsock, Democratic Rep. Paul Rosenthal and an undisclosed number of other lawmakers. Leaders of both chambers are formally reviewing the Legislature’s workplace harassment policy — as have several statehouses across the country.

In the Republican-controlled Senate, President Kevin Grantham called for “creating a welcoming and respectful workplace environment” and declared that “I don’t think anybody here is of the belief that the status quo is working, or that action shouldn’t be taken.”

The issue virtually overshadowed other priorities laid out Jan. 10 by Colorado legislative leaders for the 2018 session, including funding roads and schools, addressing the opioid crisis and tackling a superheated housing market that has limited affordable housing options for many state residents.

Winter alleges that Lebsock acted aggressively toward her when she

turned down his sexual advances during an end-of-session party in 2016.

She said he grabbed her elbow and that she felt threatened.

Duran, also a Democrat, removed Lebsock from a committee chairmanship and called on him to resign after Winter filed her complaint. Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, and others called on Lebsock to step down. Meanwhile, Democratic state Rep. Matt Gray has said he plans to introduce a resolution to force Lebsock to give up his position.

In response to that possibility, Lebsock placed his document rebutting the allegations in the mailboxes of all state representatives on Monday.

He said House leaders told him on Dec. 14 to not release the confidential complaint Winter filed against him even though his accusers have been allowed to talk publicly. He also said that investigators still have not contacted him.

Lebsock said he has heard that a small number of Democrats and others began a “whisper campaign” to discredit him and hurt his candidacy for state treasurer. He also insinuated the party was lining up behind Winter in her bid to win a state Senate seat this November that could challenge the narrow Republican majority in that chamber.

Previously, Lebsock released the results of polygraph tests he said proves that he is telling the truth. Without admitting misconduct, he also apologized to Winter and two other women who allege harassment, former lobbyist Holly Tarry and former legislative aide Cassie Tanner, for causing them pain.

The national sexual misconduct scandal was unfolding when a number of complaints were filed at Colorado’s statehouse following reports on the Lebsock allegations by Rocky Mountain Community Radio.

State lawmakers are barred under their own rules from discussing even the existence of a complaint under current state legislative procedures.

A harassment complaint against Democratic Rep. Paul Rosenthal was dismissed on Jan. 4. Rosenthal had been accused of harassment by a political activist in 2012. The complaint was dismissed apparently because the alleged incident happened before Rosenthal was elected to his post.

In her opening speech, Duran said a Capitol culture that allows workplace harassment must change.

“Let our actions show that the intolerable will be tolerated no more,” she said.

Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville said he welcomed reforms to workplace harassment policy but also insisted that those accused must be provided due process, echoing calls from other GOP leaders.

“I perfectly understand and share a sense of outrage when we hear stories of bad behavior,” he said. “But when accusations appear where the law is made, we must observe due process so that we fairly and objectively handle complaints and workplace issues.”

hould anyone who impersonates an impersonator QUIET be allowed DESPERATION to vote? There’s a impressionist in Branson who impersonates Rich Little.

Should anyone who can’t remember when to put their trash out be allowed to vote?

Should anyone who says he is “like, really smart” be allowed to Craig Marshall vote?

Smith On the other hand,

should anyone who adopts a specialneeds dog be allowed to vote twice?

I think so.

How are your heartstrings today?

There’s an Aurora dog named Rex. He gets his name from T. Rex, because a congenital deformity stopped his front legs from growing below the joint.

He has always walked on his hind legs.

You may have seen dogs do that on Letterman, but they were performing.

Rex does it all of the time, and, “He has no idea he’s different,” his new foster dad said.

There are other dogs just like Rex.

You can find touching videos of them on YouTube.

By now, many of you know how I feel about dogs. Versus people.

Dogs don’t have it in for you if your religion or race or lifestyle preferences are different than theirs.

War isn’t one of their growth industries.

Physically, they are indomitable, and are capable of remarkable tolerances and recoveries.

Dogs like Rex are often unwanted and discarded.

Rex’s new owner, and those involved in his future, have thought about it very differently.

The Denver Post reported that Rex was crowdfunded a unique cart to improve his quality of life.

“Eddie’s Wheels for Pets spent four weeks engineering a special cart for Rex to act as his front legs and improve his mobility.”

Eddie’s Wheels for Pets should be allowed to vote twice too.

Rex was dropped off at an animal shelter because his first family couldn’t give Rex the care and attention he needed.

was talking with a husband and wife a few years ago. They were from Kansas and for years came to Colorado every winter for a ski vacation. As they drove in from I-70 heading west, they would always WINNING stop as soon as WORDS they saw the Colorado Rockies in the distance. They would pull over on the side of the road and stare at the mountains, they would visualize themselves living in those mountains Michael Norton one day, and they would take a picture and keep that picture on their refrigerator at home as a constant reminder of their goal.

They shared with me that 10 years ago, that dream became a reality, as they moved to Colorado full time.

There has been so much written about the power of visualization and

so many shared and great success stories of people who have used visual techniques to not only meet their goals and objectives, but in many cases, they have far exceeded even their own expectations.

So how do we use and harness the power of visualization to set and achieve goals? Well, the very first step in goal setting is to define our goals. Not just keeping them in our head, but actually investing the time to write them down. Whether we do this using technology or on a pad of paper or in a planner, we are creating our first set of something visual that will not only be captured on paper or in our technology, we are taking the first step towards imprinting it in our minds as we review our lists.

One of my favorite things to participate in is a vision boarding session. Either in a group setting as a participant or as a facilitator or simply at home as we plan out our SEE NORTON, P15

Look around globe to make investment decisions in 2018

he new year brings opportunities and it is always good to have a plan on how best to take advantage when those come your way.

Investors who were well-diversified in 2017 are no doubt FINANCIAL pleased with their returns. Now the STRATEGIES worry sets in about how to top last year without being greedy or fearful. Everyone wants to know what the outlook is for 2018 considering the tax reform and record high watermarks on Wall Street. This Patricia Kummer question led me to research expert predictions and probabilities, which led me to deeper philosophies of wealth management, which leads back to proper planning.

The review of predictions versus probabilities was an entire course on statistics and emotional behavior and how they don’t mix. Basically, a prediction is a guess, and a probability is a possibility. While these can be good building blocks, neither is strong enough to base an entire investment

strategy on.

We can gather from the statistics that we are in a growth cycle that is likely to continue, although not at the same pace as last year. Corporate earnings could benefit from the tax reform, and stock prices typically mirror economic growth. While these are logical assumptions, the only new twist this year is that the economic growth needs to be worldwide, not just domestic. We saw a lull in our recovery from the Great Recession largely because other countries and trading partners were lagging and therefore, the U.S. had slower growth than previous business cycles.

So now the investor needs to pay more attention to China, Japan, Europe, the UK and emerging markets in Asia, Africa and South America, to get a good feel for the size and pace of improvement and the amount of volatility associated with it. This can be a tall order, but having a well-designed strategy and seeking advice from a wealth adviser could help.

A well-designed strategy should be custom to your goals, time frame, risk and tax situation. This year we have a new set of tax brackets and rules that may surprise many folks when they

learn certain deductions and exemptions will be disallowed.

Once you have a strategy in place, it is time to review your portfolio and see what positions may need to be adjusted to match your plan. This is where the wealth adviser comes in. This is a relatively new term in a constantly changing industry of financial services, so it may be prudent to understand how your financial planner works and what services they can offer.

This year will be the year of the fiduciary. If your adviser is not one, then run in the opposite direction. I have been a fiduciary since 1986, but the term has become more popular recently. According to New York Times best-selling author Dan Solin, real “wealth advisers” are Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), who are legally required to put their clients’ interests first. This fiduciary duty is mandated by Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well

as other statutes. Certified Financial Planners (CFP®) are also fiduciaries under their Code of Ethics.

I believe this year will be even more important to align yourself with good strategies to protect your nice gains from previous years and to plan around the changing landscape of global markets. Wealth advisers have a fiduciary obligation to help you accumulate and protect your wealth. This is much more valuable than predictions or probabilities. You deserve to make sure you have the right professional helping you navigate 2018.

goals and dreams. I am sure many of you are at least aware of this technique, and many of you have already probably created your vision board for 2018. If not, it is a fun and extremely valuable exercise.

A vision board, or even a vision wall, is created by using graphic images of our goals and dreams. The things we want to achieve, acquire, be, do, or have in life. And then pinning or attaching those pictures and images to our board or wall. In some cases, as we build family vision boards, it will include images or pictures of what our children hope to do or become, or maybe where they want to go to college.

I have seen some great vision boards in my life, and I am thoroughly impressed when I speak with someone about their vision board and ask about the “why” behind each picture or image. Sailboats, Hawaiian sunsets, a map of Italy, an image of a bed-and-breakfast sign from people who wanted to buy an inn, a trail map of Vail, Beaver Creek, or other ski areas, a picture of a university campus, a postcard of an African safari, a graduation cap and gown, a second home, the logo of a company they want to work for one day or a customer that they want to sell to, and even images of some kind of currency and in some cases actual dollar bills tacked to the wall.

These can be so much fun to put together, but more importantly a powerful and very visual reminder of what we are doing, why we are doing it, and where we want to go in this life. If you have never built one, send me an email and I am happy to talk you through it.

In addition to a vision board, here is another visual idea that may help you. I find that it really helps me. I keep a notebook with me at all times.

For me, I can write faster than I type, and when I am speaking with others it is just more personal to be taking notes in this way than trying to capture notes on any of my devices. I also write out my to-do list each day so that I have it right in front of me as a visual aid to keep me on task.

Last year I started writing words at the top of each page in my notebook as I create my to-do list. It serves as a constant and consistent reminder of things I am working on in my own life. I write down five things at the top of the page; 1. Seek God first. 2. Say “No” so that I can say “Yes.” 3. Stop trading time for money. 4. No “FOMO” which means stop living with a “Fear of Missing Out.” 5. Practice patience.

Maybe you will have five, maybe only two or three, or maybe just one. And certainly, you will have your own words and attributes that you are working on in your personal life. And of course, feel free to use any of the ones I have listed here for myself or ask me the “why” behind each attribute I have chosen.

Are you a visual person? Does it help for you to be able to see where you would like to go and what you would like to be, do, or have in this life? Or do you have other ways or tools that you use to keep you on track while you pursue your dreams and goals? Either way, I would love to hear from you at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we realize that what we see is what we get, it really will be a better than good week.

From Marine Corps to master beekeeper Local company helps environment, veterans, bees

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Parker resident Nick French established Frangiosa Farms in 2008, he had two goals in mind—help save the bees, and harvest pure, raw honey to package and sell locally. Nine years later, his simple vision has evolved to include helping veterans and people who suffer from pain and anxiety, and recruiting more people to help save the bees.

French, a Marine Corps veteran, took his honey in a whole new direction in 2015, when he and his wife came up with the idea to infuse their honey with local Colorado full spectrum hemp extracts, along with essential oils, to create a product that French believes can help people struggling with pain, anxiety and PTSD. Colorado Hemp Honey was born.

“I have been directly affected by the loss of loved ones with the opioid epidemic in the United States,” said French. “I set out as a goal to develop products that act as an alternative to

A lot of experimenting followed, and the result was four new flavors of honey, infused with hemp extract.

Ginger Soothe, Lemon Stress Less, Tangerine Tranquility and Raw Relief, sold in either individual tubes or jars, have become popular products that

are gaining national attention.

“All of the products are made with legal hemp extract, and per Farm Bill 760,3 contain less than .03 percent THC,” said Heather Timmons, communications manager for Colorado Hemp Honey. “They’re safe for kids and animals over 12 months of age, and are a nice, sweet way to get the

t’s a cliché to say that as you get older, the years start passing by faster — but man, is it ever true. I can’t believe 2017 is over already, especially considering how much there was to take in on a daily basis.

Most years I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job of keeping up with all LINER the releases coming NOTES out, but last year I felt like I was drowning in new music. So many artists, both established and upand-coming, put out vital, searching music that challenged, comforted, and inspired listeners.

There has been so Clarke Reader much great music this year, that you’d be forgiven for having missed more than a few albums. So, I’m here to help with my list of 10 best albums you might’ve missed in the second half of 2017.

Here’s to a better, more invigorating 2018.

To see my full top music-of-the-year list, check out my blog at calmacil20. blogspot.com.

Aminé — “Good for You” Time and time again, rap has proved itself to be the best genre for political and social awareness, but it’s important to remember the music can also be just loads and loads of fun.

Luckily, Portland, Oregon-based rapper Aminé’s debut album is here to remind you of how much joy can come from listening to rap.

The album brims with infectious hooks and melodies, and Aminé proves himself a nimble MC with a sly sense of humor and a romantic streak that adds some heart to “Good for You.” And it’s the heart that really makes the album stand out. So many rap records from last year tackled heavy subjects, from current affairs to personal loss and anxiety, and every now and then, it’s important to remember laughter. At the beginning of another year, that’s a reminder we could all use.

Gang of Youths — “Go Farther in Lightness” Rock records like “Go Farther in Lightness” are so rarely made anymore, it’s important to celebrate them when they come around.

The second album from Australia indie rockers Gang of Youths is the kind of shaggy, overstuffed, and ambitious release groups like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Bruce Springsteen have turned into classics in previous decades.

“Go Farther” is an album about ideas, and lead singer David Le’aupepe is as likely to drop lyrics about Greek heroes and the existence of God as he is to write about love and families. But don’t worry — I’m not assigning you some dour, heavy-handed lecture to listen to. The album rocks, from front to back, and makes one for one of the year’s most engrossing listens.

Gang of Youths are a big deal in their native Australia, and if there’s

any justice in the world, they’ll start breaking big in America following “Go Farther.” Get on the train early — you won’t want to miss it.

Majid Jordan — “The Space Between” Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan, made up of Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, have provided plenty of backing vocals for more well-known artists like Drake, but this sophomore album shows how talented a pair they are.

“The Space Between” is easily one of the year’s sexiest albums, but it explores all aspects of romantic relationships, including moving on from old loves to the fickleness of contemporary relationships. “One I Want” is one of the best singles of the year, and “Gave Your Love Away” shows the pair’s vocal range.

While Majid Jordan is obviously heavily influenced by modern soul artists like Frank Ocean and Miguel, they add flourishes of electronic music that are all their own. Which means listeners are treated with an album that sounds both familiar and new. Otherwise known as the perfect combination.

Van Morrison — “Versatile” Van Morrison has been so good for so long, it’s easy to take him for granted, especially as he’s in his 70s now.

Obviously, anything he releases now isn’t going to match early masterpieces like “Astral Weeks” or Moondance,” but it’d be a shame to miss an album as reliably enjoyable as “Versatile.”

The album is a blend of classics from jazz legends like Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, and six newly written numbers by Morrison himself. While his take on classics like “A Foggy Day” and “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” are just as lovely as you would expect, it’s in Morrison’s compositions that the album really comes to life.

“Start All Over Again” and “Only A Dream” are two of the year’s loveliest songs and show that even after seven decades, Van remains the man.

Carly Pearce — “Every Little Thing” If you don’t know that the best music in modern country is almost entirely courtesy of women, you haven’t been paying attention to talents like Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Cam, Caitlin Rose, Brandy Clark, Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert.

Into this crowded field, Carly Pearce released her debut album, “Every Little Thing,” in October, and immediately established herself as one of the most exciting voices of the genre. Songs like “If My Name Was Whiskey” show a sharp wit and even sharper knack for writing hooks, and “Honeysuckle” is one of the year’s best love songs.

If you’re searching for an album that sounds great driving up and down Colorado’s roads during the summer and autumn, and also has lyrical chops, Pearce is the country gal for you.

vision to “Half-Light.” Listeners are going to find pop sounds intermingled with electronica and eastern influences, and the result is almost always gorgeous.

The result is one of the year’s most beguiling and enchanting pop albums.

CLARKE’S TOP SONGS OF 2017 1. “FEEL.” - DAMN. - Kendrick Lamar 2. “All I Can Think About is You” - Kaleidoscope EP - Coldplay 3. “Rescue Blues” - We All Want the Same Things - Craig Finn 4. “North South East West” - Near To the Wild Heart of Life - Japandroids 5. “Still Feel Like Your Man” - The Search For Everything - John Mayer 6. “BagBak” - Big Fish Theory - Vince Staples 7. “Nothing Burns Like the Cold” (feat.

PARTYNEXTDOOR) The Space Between - Majid Jordan

Turnover — “Good Nature” Virginia-based band Turnover’s third album, “Good Nature,” exists at a strange nexus of influences — there’s pop punk and emo, as well as bossa nova, West Coast jazz and sprinkles of soft rock.

What this amalgamation sounds like is a quintessential summer album — almost a dream pop version of “Getz/ Gilberto.” The guitar lines shimmer and glisten, and the smoothness of the singing and rhythm section sends the listener floating into the atmosphere.

But all the prettiness doesn’t mean “Good Nature” is all surface and no substance. There are a couple beautiful love songs, but they explore more than infatuation — tracks like “Breeze,” with the closing line, “Let you keep eating my heart out with your silver spoon,” are after bigger, and deeper game.

That something this pretty can have this much to say is why the album is in my top 10.

and producer Rostam Batmanglij announced he was leaving Vampire Weekend at the beginning of 2016, I was more than a little concerned — not just because he was a key component of one of my favorite modern bands, but because it seemed like the music world was losing a unique and vital voice.

Luckily, his debut solo album put my fears to rest, not only because it was a chance to hear from Batmanglij again, but it shows an artist in full command of his powers.

Batmanglij has produced for a diverse range of artists over the year, from Carly Rae Jepsen and Charli XCX to Frank Ocean and Solange, and he brings that same all-encompassing

Harmony Chorale tips hat to organizer of March on Washington

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nine out of 10 people on the street don’t know who Bayard Rustin is.

But Cincinnati Men’s Chorus Artistic Director Steve Milloy is out to change that.

Milloy composed and arranged an original choral piece, “Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream,” and musical groups throughout the country are starting to perform it.

“The piece discusses an unknown fact in our history of this wonderful man, Bayard Rustin,” Milloy said. “He was a peace activist, civil rights activist and an unabashedly openly gay man at a time when that was not exactly looked on as something righteous to do.”

Rustin is mostly know for organizing the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.

“But if it wasn’t for Bayard Rustin, there wouldn’t be Martin Luther King as we know him,” Milloy said. “It was Bayard Rustin who went and studied non-violent resistance and taught those things to King. And that’s when the civil right movement really took off.”

Milloy, who has been singing in LGBTQ choruses for 30 years, was inspired to write the Rustin piece because he was yet to come across one about an African-American.

“I was wondering: When am I going to sing something about somebody who looks like me?” said Milloy. “So I thought it was time

Hazel Miller and Mark Boykins rehearse their storytelling roles for the upcoming production of “Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream.” to put something out there about a man who was not just important to the gay, LGBTQ movement, but to the civil rights movement as a whole.”

Music in the piece runs the gamut from 19th-century hymnody to ragtime, pop ballads and anthems, jazz, concertized spirituals, chain gang songs and even rap.

After hearing about the “The Man Behind the Dream,” Bill Loper, artistic director for Harmony of Colorado Chorael, thought it was perfect for his choir.

“The story of Bayard Rustin, such a powerful figure in American history who was really shunned because he was an openly gay man

o far this year, Ullr, the Norse god of winter, seems to mostly have skipped over Colorado. But hopefully the fourth annual UllrGrass festival in Golden will bring the god’s attention back to us.

UllrGrass is a three-day music and beer festival that is hosted in Parfet Park, located at 10th Street and Washington Avenue, and New Terrain Brewing Co., 16401 Table Mountain Parkway, from COMING Jan. 26-28.

ATTRACTIONS The festival is produced

by Coral Creek Music and benefits music education in the Golden community through the Coral Creek Music Project. This year’s lineup includes members of Railroad Earth, Leftover Salmon, the Lyle Lovett Band, Hot Rize and more.

Clarke Reader UllrGrass goes beyond offering only music to attendees — craft breweries and cideries will be on hand, as well local vendors and food trucks, and there are even activities for children, like an UllrEgg hunt, scavenger hunt, face-painting and more.

The Performance Round of this year’s UllrGrass Band Contest takes place at 6 p.m. on Jan. 18 at New Terrain Brewing Co. There are eight finalists, and each will perform a three-song set. The winner of the Performance Round will perform on the mainstage at UllrGrass 2019. The Performance Round is free and open to the public.

Seeing as the event is named in honor of winter, the festival will be hosted come snow or shine, so prepare layers to stay warm.

Ullr devotees have been known to show up in Viking garb — helmets, drinking horns and leather chest plates — whatever you need to summon the spirit of Ullr. And because Ullr is also the Patron Saint of Skiers, don’t be afraid to put your ski pants on.

Tickets for the music festival can be purchased as a weekend pass or single-day pass.

VIP tickets are also available. Beer festival tickets can be purchased as a supplemental ticket, as a package with a weekend pass or Saturday single-day ticket, or for the beer festival only. To learn more, visit www. ullrgrass.com.

... it’s a story that just needs to be told,” Loper said. “You can go down the street and ask anybody, ‘Do you know who Bayard Rustin was,’ and nine people out of 10 will say no.”

Honoring Tom Petty with local bar bands The sudden death of rock legend Tom Petty last year was one of the hardest losses in a year full of great talents going out. Petty was responsible of some all-time great songs, including “Free Fallin’,” “American Girl” and “Learning to Fly,” and by all accounts was an extraordinarily decent man.

Thankfully, his music lives on, and local bands like The Humbuckers, 3 Star Monday, Last Rhino and special guests Tompettyproject and Adrienne Osborn will be playing it at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 20, during the Tom Petty Tribute Night at @ Cheers,

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Passion Pit at the Ogden Passion Pit, which is the brainchild of frontman and produccer Michael Angelakos, has been one of the most fun electro-pop bands since their 2009 debut, “Manners,” first hit the scene.

In the ensuing years, Passion Pit has developed an ardent fan base, and 2017’s independent release, “Tremendous Sea of Love,” showed musicians eager to explore and experiment with the more familiar elements of electronic music.

Now Passion Pit will be performing at 8 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 22, at the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., in Denver as part of their first

Last May Harmony performed a piece called, “Tyler’s Suite,” about a young man, Tyler Clemente, who died by suicide after being cyber-bullied.

The community reaction from those performances is what led Loper to the Bayard Rustin piece.

“What ‘Tyler’s Suite’ really brought for me as artistic director was when we do things that are more missionbased, that have a purpose and that give us a reason to be, the possibilities are limitless,” Loper said. “The Bayard Rustin piece is hands down the best thing we’ve ever done. I am so proud to be a part of it. It’s reaching people, it’s telling a story and it’s informing people.

“And its going to be very entertaining.”

The Harmony Chorale will be joined by Arvada resident and awardwinning R&B singer Hazel Miller and her band. Miller will act as a narrator and a soloist in the Colorado performances.

“The music in this is moving, it’s inspirational,” Miller said. “The information given is priceless and I’m very proud to be part of this.”

Miller loves the music so much that she has decided to learn all the music and sing alto with the choir throughout the whole performance.

WHO IS BAYARD RUSTIN? Bayard Rustin was a Quaker, conscientious objector, openly gay, civil rights activist and the organizer of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 March on Washington and co-organizer of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

An organizer of the first Freedom Rides protesting racial segregation in the south, Rustin was arrested for sitting in the whites only section of a bus 12 years before Rosa Parks made headlines.

He was sentenced to work on a chain gang.

Upon his release, Rustin’s five-part series for the New York Post titled “22 days on a chain gang” described the brutal details of his imprisonment and ultimately led to the abolition of the chain gang in North Carolina.

In 2013, President Barack Obama bestowed Rustin a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Mark Boykins, currently the Director of Music at the Peoples Presbyterian Church, will join Miller as a storyteller.

The performance will be rounded out by 55 young voices from the Arvada High School Chorale. This makes the age-range of voices span 70 years.

“I’m flattered and thrilled that he invited us” said John Miller, choir director and teacher at Arvada High School. “Educationally, there’s layers and layers of things they’re going to get from this. To see a program like this with a living composer that can come in and meet with them ... that

SHANNA FORTIER almost never happens. It’s very inspiring.”

The dynamics that Steve Milloy brings to rehearsal are something that Arvada High senior Haley Stimack appreciates.

“I feel a lot of the message when Mr. Milloy is conducted us,” Stimack said.

“You can feel how passionate he is about it.”

Milloy said not only is his piece musical and informative, but it’s a

message that is needed in society right now.

“This piece is really about nonviolent resistance in a time when we really truly need it,” Milloy said.

“People need to stand up and be counted and we also need to come together and to talk. I’m hoping that this piece along with many other things starts spurring that conversation about understanding and a peaceful resolve.”

Authors share stories from rich lives

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This time of year, one finds a new book — or two — plus a comfy chair and perhaps a cup of hot tea and in my case, a purring kitty, to be a fine combination on a chilly evening …

Last fall, I received copies of two books by authors from the part of south Jefferson County that some refer to as “Littleton.”

Their journeys have been very different, although both lead authors referred to a love of hiking in our

spectacular mountains.

Hackchan Rhee, a retired Lockheed-Martin engineer who passed away in 2016, began life in North Korea in 1928 and named his book “Under Five Flags.” In addition to North and South Korea, he lived under the rule of Japan, Russia and the United States, and found kind, compassionate people in all — as well as the darker side of humanity. His wife and co-author, Marta Tulllis, worked as a configuration analyst, also at Martin, and is a ham radio operator.

Stephen Hinman — also a retiree — and his wife Cynthia, mourning the loss of a very special pet, went to an adoption event seeking a terrier — and came upon a two-month-old cattle dog that begged (successfully) to be picked up. They immediately fell in love with him and named him Durango Pete, beginning a long, drawn-out battle of wills over who was in charge. “Adventures With Durango Pete” is the result. Hinman has been an English teacher, wanderer, coach, business owner, physical therapist — and longtime storyteller.

“Under Five Flags” is the story of Hackchan Rhee’s journey from North Korea to the Littleton area, under five different governments and through many years.

“Adventures with Durango Pete” by Stephen Hinman, of south Jefferson County near Littleton, is a memoir about a man and a cow-dog who both wanted to be in charge.

Durango Pete is a dog with some stories

rivers from sunrise to sundown,” to the large city of Pyongyang, about 30 miles distant.

The year was 1915 and he hoped to find employment and an education, as well as relieving his desperately poor parents of the need to feed and house him.

Pushing through a snowstorm, he came across a farmhouse, where he was taken in, warmed and fed — and ended up staying and working until spring.

In Pyongyang, he first found a job with a Japanese watchmaker and attended a Japanese middle school — “gymnasium.” It was a time of unrest in Korea (a brief bit of national history is inserted here that gives some insight on today’s situation.)

Water department job, marriage and a family followed and some success with buying and selling houses.

There are descriptions of family life — including the upbringing of his son, the author of the book — and schooling in the Japanese era, (no Korean history allowed), food and religious education.

At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union occupied North Korea and eventually, the United States occupied the south part of the country, per agreement of Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt.

Hackchan Rhee attended a teachers’ college in North Korea, developed some skills in art, then taught a Communist-approved curriculum from fall 1949 to summer 1950. Teachers and students were also responsible for teaching illiterate adults. When American bombs started falling, the schools was damaged and closed.

In December 1950, with Chinese troops closing in, Rhee, his brother and a friend decided to head south and try to rejoin the American medical unit they had become acquainted with previously, the 101st FOB. Doctors and other friends he made there eventually smoothed the way to go to America, although it took several years to accumulate the required signatures (more than 30).

“My eyes were immediately drawn to the one who was off-white, with chocolate brown spots and chocolate brown ears … his eyes were a striking amber color — like a wolf or coyote.”

Thus is described the central character in “Adventures with Durango Pete: Life and Poetry with a Cow Dog Philosofur.”

Steve and Cynthia Hinman of Littleton were at an adoption event held by Colorado Puppy Rescue. After the loss of a beloved old dog two years earlier and a move from Kansas to Colorado to be near daughter Krista, the Hinmans were starting to think about another furry friend, urged on

by Krista, who sent numerous photos of possible candidates. They set out with a certain terrier in mind, were delayed in traffic and arrived to find that puppy had been adopted, but there were three little cow dogs playing. Hinman had been thinking about ancestors who were ranchers — funny where our fancies take us …

Steve picked him up and the decision was never in question as he was smothered in kisses.

The pup had come to Colorado from an agency in New Mexico. In addition to the puppy, the Hinmans bought a book on cattle dogs, another on puppy training, a little blue collar and matching leash and all the other necessary supplies. His name? Steve said “Durango” and his wife said “Pete”— firmly.

Walk on a leash? Not this puppy!

Dig in the carefully manicured flower beds and lawn? You bet! He learned the names of his increasing collection of chew toys scattered across the yard and could fetch the right one — but preferred to chew on mulch chips.

Trick training? Sit for cheese? Yes. But, in general, thing went so badly they thought they might have to give him up.

They consulted a trainer and eventually tried walking off-leash, which resulted in a much happier pup. On a day spent exploring the Dakota Hogback near his home, the description leads into an account of Hinman’s rancher ancestors … while rewarding the dog with treats as he came when called.

A sort of compromise solution was at hand. Let him off lead and he’d come when called.

They progressed to mountain hikes and a trip to California to revisit

favorite places and introduce Durango Pete to the ocean.

His passion for cheeseburgers stayed evident and his special people learned some more about caring for him — which has led to many happy experiences for Pete, Steve and Cynthia, some poetry (Steve) and philosophizing (Steve and Pete).

him to improve his English and come to America.

Rhee mentions various doctors who supported him and later helped him in America, including Elet Wagner, who got him a scholarship to attend Hastings College in Nebraska, where his family had connections.

His visa was finally granted in early 1954 and he left on a cargo ship (the cheapest possible fare) and was seasick much of the way to Seattle. He

visited his friend Dr. Atkinson in San Francisco, then traveled to Nebraska, where the Wagner family fed and housed him and helped him find jobs until it was time to start college.

Since Hastings did not offer the technical courses he needed to become an engineer, he found help from another doctor friend named Philpott and transferred to the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

He had a scholarship and a job as lab

technician. He studied hard and visited several other friends, including Frank Welty in Estes Park, Colorado, where the mountains reminded him of his former Korean home.

Eventually, he went to work for Martin Marietta, now called Lockheed Martin, where he worked on the Atlas V and other projects until retirement.

Why is this cause important to you?

I love orphans. They’ve always had a special place in my heart. And kids in general. I love working with kids.

I was a volunteer here one week and I just fell in love with the organization. It’s just nice to know that we can make an impact in people’s lives.

I love kids and I just feel so sad that they’re going through hard times and they’re hurt. So it’s nice to bring a little joy the best we can. And with the elderly, I’ve been able to go to the birthday parties. It’s so much fun because they soak up every bit of attention and it’s fun to hear their stories.

And what about Golden Packs of Hope?

We also serve the elderly. Golden Packs brings birthday bags into nursing homes. We serve three nursing homes right now. Two in Wheat Ridge and one in Arvada. We bring the packs for birthdays each month and throw a birthday party. Michelle found out that a lot of times people don’t get visitors, so we try to go twice a month to show they are not forgotten. In those bags we put blankets, pajamas and decks of cards or crossword puzzles, lotions…

What is Packs of Hope?

We help children who are transitioning into foster care. We serve newborn to 17-year-olds. We give them backpacks with everything they will need for the first 24 hours of transitioning into a home because most of the time the kids that are transitioning, they don’t get to take anything with them, just what’s one their back.

It helps the kids because they get new clothes — and everything we give them is brand new. They get clothes to wear, pajamas, toiletries, a book and a toy. But then it also helps the foster parents because they don’t have to rush out and go buy stuff. They can breathe while the child comes in and relax.

We serve seven different counties, from Weld County down to El Paso County — Jefferson, Boulder, Denver, Arapahoe, Weld, El Paso and Douglas.

We do on average close to 200 backpacks each month.

Our vision is to bring a little hope and joy into children’s lives during one of their scariest moments. That’s really our goal — to help the kids as much as we can. Michelle Smithing started Packs of Hope 10 years ago and she started it because she wanted to adopt a child. They went through the system in Jefferson County and realized when the kids were coming in that they didn’t have anything. She felt lead, and her heart was broken, to help foster kids.

She went to Jefferson County and asked how to help. She started with a blanket, but then went to the backpacks. Packs of Hope started with 15 backpacks in Jeffco and now it’s over 200 in seven counties and is part of the Foothills Community Church nonprofits.

Colorado Dulcimer Festival to bring sweet sounds to Littleton February event will offer two days of magical music at church on Belleview

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two 7 p.m. evening concerts on Feb. 2 and 3 will offer the sweet music of mountain and hammered dulcimers, combined with additional instruments: fiddle, guitar, banjo and mandolin. Nationally recognized concert musicians will be part of the annual Colorado Dulcimer Festival, held this year at St. James Presbyterian Church, 3601 W. Belleview Ave., Littleton.

Celtic, bluegrass, old-time, country and jazz music will be heard throughout the weekend and there will be a

dance band, according to Judy Jones of Roxborough, an instructor/musician on the hammered dulcimer.

This festival began 15 years ago in Fort Collins with musician/teacher Steve Eulberg, and moved to the Denver area five years ago.

Jones says: “There are two kinds of dulcimers: the hammered and the mountain or lap dulcimer. Both use strings stretched across a soundboard, but differ in shape, sound and playing.

Hammered dulcimers are 5,000 years old, from ancient Persia, sit on a stand and have 72 or more strings stretched across a wooden sound box. The player strikes the strings with wooden hammers, producing music in a great dynamic range. Mountain dulcimers originated in the Appalachian Mountains, rest on the player’s lap, and the three or four strings are strummed like a guitar. The tone is gentle and became very popular in the 1960s folk

music revival.”

During each day, there will be scheduled classes/workshops for beginners through advanced players, with rental instruments available on-site.

Also, daytime hours will include jam sessions, perhaps some dance sessions and lots of exchange of music and ideas. On the afternoon of Feb. 3, there will be a children’s class.

Gadgettronix president Anthony Dobaj sits in his Highlands Ranch home office wearing the Gestr on his left wrist. In the works since 2012, the black gadget allows him to control his music and other smartphone features with a tap of a finger or wave of a hand.

Gadget would ease phone use for outdoor enthusiasts Highlands Ranch man seeks funds for product to go mainstream

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When he is cruising through the Backcountry Wilderness Area on his mountain bike, Anthony Dobaj prefers to listen to music. But in the past, he found it difficult to pull his iPhone out of his pocket and change the song while also maneuvering his bike.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time because it is a pain point for me,” said Dobaj, president of Gadgettronix, a start-up tech company based in Denver that specializes in wearable technologies. “I just kept waiting for a satisfactory solution to present itself but it never did.”

In 2012, he visualized a solution that would eventually be coined Gestr. The small circular black device allows users to interact with their smartphones with a tap or swipe of a finger.

Dobaj, sitting in his home that conveniently backs up to the Backcountry in Highlands Ranch, slips a magnetic ring on his finger and effortlessly swipes across the gadget. The music on his iPhone gets louder. He swipes a different direction and the song changes.

He taps the gadget once and the music shuts off. He puts a ski glove on and gets the same outcomes.

“It needs refinement,” he said, “but it’s a game changer.”

To make the concept a reality, Dobaj partnered with Allegro Micro, a supplier of sensor technology based in Massachusetts, and three students from the computer science department of Oregon State University, where Dobaj received a degree in electrical engineering.

Last summer, Benjamin Brewster, who runs the capstone project course for Oregon State University’s online

computer science program, picked students who were familiar with the hardware and software used in Gestr, he said.

In 27 weeks, the students developed a pilot of the gadget using a sensor developed by Allegro Micro. Gestures made with a magnetic ring activate the sensor, which hooks into a smartphone’s Bluetooth — similar to how a Fitbit or Apple Watch connects to a smartphone.

Still underway, an app will allow users to assign functions to each gesture, such as swiping up for a phone call.

“While the students are frequently able to work with real-world clients on projects each term, this one was particularly satisfying. It was fun, educational, and a necessary component of a soon-to-be commercial project,” Brewster said. “Seeing the students complete things like this every term is the best part of my job.”

The target audience for the product is outdoor enthusiasts: skiers, snowboarders, runners and cyclists in cities and on mountain trails. Down the road, Dobaj hopes to partner with garment manufacturers to make the technology compatible with different types of clothing.

Benefits of the device, Dobaj said, are convenience, safety and cost. The retail price point is $75.

Before Gestr goes mainstream, Dobaj and his team need to raise between $150,000 and $200,000 to polish the design — which will use a smaller internal sensor —pass regulatory standards and produce the product for retail. Dobaj plans to raise funds by participating in events geared to start-ups and creating a crowdfunding campaign in the upcoming weeks on Indiegogo, a website that allows users to seek funds for ideas, charities or startup companies. He hopes to see his product available on Amazon by the end of the ski season, he said.

A product developer by trade, Dobaj considers himself an innovator.

“Creativity is the key,” he said.

“That is how we move forward.”

What are some highlights of the program?

It’s been neat because the Boy Scouts contact us and they do their Eagle Scout program through us. The most recent one was a 13 year old. He collected 150 backpacks for us, filled, and a ton of extra stuff. That’s really cool for us to see the community coming together and how much they can really make an impact. But one of the things that’s hard is we know that every backpack that goes out means a family is being torn apart. It’s tough to know that.

One of the big things for us is last year we were doing 90-100 and now being at the 200 mark. It is huge, but it’s also very sad. We’re also getting a spike in requests for baby backpacks.

HOW TO HELP Monetary donations can be made to online at www.packsofhope.org or by sending a check payable to Packs of Hope to 8270 W. 80th Ave. #2, Arvada, CO 80005.

Other donations needed include: shirts, pants, socks, underwear, pajamas, sweatshirts and jackets in all boys and girls sizes; toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, hairbrushes, soap, deodorant, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, face soap, face lotion and feminine pads, diapers size 2,4, or 6, wipes, diaper creme, baby shampoo, baby soap and baby lotion.

To volunteer, email info@packsofhope.org.

How can the community get involved?

We always need donations. We take only brand new clothes. We want to give the kids nice stuff so they know they are loved. To have something of their own, brand new is really cool.

We give out shirts, pants, sweatshirts, pajamas, socks, underwear and toiletry bags.

At minimum we give a toothbrush and toothpaste, but we like to give shampoos, combs, deodorant and feminine products — especially for the

teens, so they don’t have to go to the foster parent until they feel comfortable.

And then toys and books. We’re always running low. We want to put a toy of some sort in for all ages and we always feel it’s important to put a book in every bag. We run out of baby blankets constantly as well as diapers and wipes.

Second is volunteers. We love for the community to come in and be part of this.

The appeal also argues that Audubon Society, which hosts a variety of nature programs around the lake, will be irreparably harmed by the rise in water levels, as removal of vegetation will make their activities difficult.

“The loss of habitat that will occur should the underbrush and vegetation be removed cannot be

adequately replaced,” reads Audubon’s appeal in part. “As a result, Denver Audubon members will no longer be able to bird or peacefully enjoy the serenity of the Park, and the organization will no longer be able to fulfill its mission ‘to connect people with nature through conservation, education, and research.’”

tandley Lake seniors Garrett and Savannah Martin have been double trouble for Jefferson County 4A basketball opponents this season. The Martins are fraternal twins and like most siblings are competitive.

Some of the first evidence of their competitiveness was evident when they played T-ball as 4-year-olds. Savannah is quick to point out that she is OVERTIME minutes older than her brother.

Their parents, Heather and Billy, have been able to see every game for both twins this season, either watching live in person or on video because they were Jim Benton attending the game of the other sibling.

Now that the Jeffco 4A season has started, boys and girls basketball games are played at different venues.

They split attending weekday games and then go the watch the offspring they didn’t see for the weekend contests.

“Weekend game were fabulous in the off-season, there were doubleheaders,” said Heather.

Both Martins rank among the Jeffco leaders. Garrett, a 6-3 forward, is third in the league with a 19.8 scoring average. He is second with 9.2 rebounds a game and second in double doubles with six.

“Garrett is having a great year on the court playing as well as leading this team of young athletes. He is an absolute pleasure to coach and gives everything he has when on the floor,” said Ted Allen, head boys basketball coach at Standley Lake.

Garrett hit .490 last baseball season as a middle infielder and is planning to attend McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, with hopes of landing a Division I offer and follow in the footsteps of his dad.

No, we are not talking about that Billy Martin who played and managed the Yankees.

Garrett’s father was a four-year standout at the University of Texas at Arlington and played professional baseball in the Mets, Diamondbacks and Nationals organizations. He was a three-time minor league All-Star.

Putting passion into

practice Preparation is key for coach with most wins in Colorado high school girls basketball history

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There were no sports for girls at the middle school Caryn Jarocki attended in the Chicago area, so she kept the scorebook for the boys.

That didn’t sit well with Jarocki.

“That made me angry because I was good and could play,” said Jarocki, 56.

“I got into high school and they had basketball. I always loved playing and I always wanted to coach it. I love giving my kids my love for the game.”

Jarocki’s passion for the game has translated into the most victories of any girls basketball coach in Colorado history. Last month, she won her 600th game.

Jarocki, 56, played three years at the University of Denver and coached for 11 seasons at Colorado Academy in Denver. She has been the head coach for the past 20 seasons at Highlands Ranch High School and her teams have won seven state championships, most recently in 2011. Her first state title was in 2000.

“She has built a tradition and a program there that just feeds off itself and is so solid,” said Bruce Wright, the former Highlands Ranch athletic director. “It is geared toward helping kids to be their best. It continues to build off itself.”

In her 32nd season as a head coach, Jarocki has compiled 607 victories in games through Jan. 13 and never has had a losing season as a head coach.

She has averaged 19.5 wins a season.

At Highlands Ranch she has won 20.3 games a season going into the current campaign and the Falcons have averaged 22.3 victories in the past 11 seasons.

“Teams are different and players are different,” Jarocki said. “You have to find what each team is good at and put the pieces together. I’ve gotten better at that over the years.

“My favorite part of the day is going to practice ... It is a privilege.”

Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki has compiled more wins than any girls basketball coach in state history.

Talking about practice At practice, Jarocki demands that her players concentrate on details and work hard on defense.

“She wants us to have that intensity and always play tough. That’s what she stresses the most,” said senior guard Tommi Olson.

Jarocki, a physical eduation teacher at the school, never loses her focus, or intensity.

“I’m actually more mellow than I used to be,” Jarocki said. “Defense is the place where we can improve the most. I don’t have the longest patience span with that.

“Hard work, paying attention to details and great kids that are willing to listen to you are the reason for the wins. The players are the ones playing.”

Jarocki has more interaction with players during practice than in games.

Assistant coach Traci Nemechek coached against Jarocki when she was the head coach at Dakota Ridge and is often the first to talk to players when they exit the court for a substitution.

“I will tell you in practice it looks the opposite,” Nemechek said. “The assistants are after the players and she is so teacher-mode. When it’s game time, she is into it. We try to balance each other.”

High standards One thing is obvious: The Falcons are well-prepared.

“Caryn always had her team prepared to play,” said former ThunderRidge and Monarch coach Bill Bradley, who is now coaching in Georgia. “The kids knew what they were doing and

ATOP THE LIST Colorado girls high school basketball coaches with the most victories: • Caryn Jarocki, Highlands Ranch/Colorado Academy: *607 • Bill Bradley, ThunderRidge/Monarch: 465 • John Mraule, Montrose: 462 • Mike Croell, Broomfield: 457 • Gail Hook, Monarch/Centaurus: 432 *Through games of Jan. 13. knew what they were supposed to be doing.”

Regis Jesuit coach Carl Mattei faces Jarocki in meaningful Continental League games each season.

“She sets her standards very high,” he said. “Once she won that first state championship, and achieving that success, she has been able to have every class after that play at a very high level.

It is a credit to her ability to lead.”

Jarocki, Mattei and many high school girls mentors coach on club teams during the summer. Jarocki formed the Colorado Basketball Club eight years ago.

Several CBC players are on the current Highlands Ranch High team.

“I wanted to see my kids achieve certain things in the summer, and it wasn’t happening,” Jarocki said. “It started to become clear it would be much more favorable for my kids to play together.”

‘Coach J’ Jarocki is often referred to as “Coach J,” and many former players are appreciative of having had a

JIM BENTON

chance to play for a coach who reached the 600-win milestone in a Dec. 7 win over Arapahoe.

“Coach Jarocki demands a level of respect that not a lot of coaches can gain,” Montana State sophomore Blaire Braxton said. “A lot of coaches have one way of trying to get players to respond, but Coach J creates relationships that allow her to connect with each player individually.

“I am forever grateful for the lessons that she has taught me as I will take them with me the rest of my life.”

Lindsay Mallon, a 2011 Highlands Ranch graduate who played at Northern Colorado, said practices were harder than games.

“Coach J held us very accountable to never take a play off and play hard,” she said. “We didn’t want to let each other or Coach J down and would hold each other accountable during practice, (which) led to success in games.”

Nemechek says Jarocki’s connection with her players is distinct.

“Probably the biggest thing besides her ability to coach and win games is she cares about kids,” Nemechek said. “A lot of people don’t see that because they see the wins, but there is so much more that happens in practice.”

This season’s Highlands Ranch team is 11-3 and ranked second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll as Jarocki continues to rack up victories.

“The students and all the great players I’ve had make this fun,” Jarocki said. “I am very grateful to them.”

FORMER PLAYERS REFLECT ON ‘COACH J’ Blaire Braxton, 2016 Highlands Ranch graduate, sophomore at Montana State “I think that part of what continually keeps coach Jarocki at the top is the standard that she holds for her program. This program that she created not only builds better

basketball players, but better young women as well.”

Lindsay Mallon, 2011 Highlands Ranch graduate who played at Northern Colorado “Players know what is expected of them if they want to play for

Coach J on varsity, so there is a lot of preparation in middle and early high school to reach the level needed to be one of her players ... Coach J values the little details that separate her from the rest of the coaches and demands that of her players.”

Bri Stiers, 2016 Highlands Ranch graduate, sophomore at the University of Missouri-Kansas City “I remember during my senior year, I would just go have lunch with her and just talk about basketball or life or anything that was weighing on my heart, and she always

seemed to know how to say the right thing. She was so much more than just another coach to me — she was my main coach and my mentor ... Every single win she has under her belt (has been) well fought for and well deserved. I’m proud to call her my coach.”

• Senior Ella Kirschke’s 200 IM time of 2:06.96 is the fastest among 4A swimmers in the prepswimco. com rankings. She is second in the 100 freestyle with a time of 51.28 and Valor’s 200 freestyle relay team has turned in the best time of 1:36.85. The Eagles are ranked fourth among 4A teams.

BENTON FROM PAGE 31

Savannah is 5-9 forward who is uncertain on which college she will attend. She is fourth in Jeffco scoring with a 15.8 but leads in rebounding and blocks with averages of 13.3 and 27 blocks. She leads the state’s 4A players with 11 double doubles.

“She has played at an elite level this year,” said Gators’ girls coach Lee Gibson.

“She’s scoring, rebounding and doing all the other things for us. She’s also been a leader for us, keeping everybody positive.

The best thing you can say about Savannah is she has all the talent and uses every time she steps on the floor.”

Hot stove season I don’t know if there is a hot stove league for high school football. The term hot stove is for baseball’s off-season where baseball fans used to sit around a hot stove in the winter to discuss moves, changes and hopes for their favorite teams.

Well, there are several area high schools looking for new head football coaches and Thornton has hired one. Nick Trombetta, who led Denver North to a 7-3 record last season, has been named head coach at Thornton, where he used to be an assistant coach.

Athletic directors and administrators at Arapahoe, Englewood, Faith Christian, Highlands Ranch and Valor Christian are still scanning resumes to find people to take over the reins of their football programs.

January 18, 2018 Troy Terry, a former Rock Canyon High School student and a junior at the University of Denver, has been named to the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team.

He will compete at the winter Olympic games in Pyeongchang, South Korea starting Feb. 14.

Former Rock Canyon student competing in Winter Olympics

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Rock Canyon High School student has been selected to play for the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team at the 2018 Winter Olympics, USA Hockey announced Jan. 1.

Troy Terry, 20, will be on one of 12 hockey teams competing at the winter games in Pyeongchang, South Korea Feb. 14-25. The U.S. team’s first game is scheduled for Feb. 14 against Slovenia.

Terry, a junior at the University of Denver, is in his third season with the university’s hockey team, the Pioneers. In his college hockey career, he has posted 92 points through 96 games, according to a release from the university. This season, he has recorded 25 points through 20 games and is tied for ninth in NCAA scoring, the university reported. His position is forward.

He has represented the U.S. in

two International Ice Hockey Federation world championships: in 2015 on the U.S. Men’s National Under-18 Team and in 2017 on the U.S. National Junior Team, according to USA Hockey. Both teams claimed gold medals.

Terry went to Rock Canyon High School as a freshman and sophomore and played six seasons with the Colorado Thunderbirds club team. He also was part of the USA Hockey National Team development program, where he gained some international experience.

In an interview posted on Facebook by Denver Men’s Hockey, Terry recalled his first time watching the movie “Miracle,” a sports drama about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.

“It’s the first movie you see as a hockey kid and it’s something that you always want to do is play for your country,” Terry said. “If you told me a year ago I had a chance to play at the Olympic level, I wouldn’t believe you.

“I’m going there to represent myself, my family, my school here in Denver and my state.”

Terry is one of two Colorado athletes who will be competing in the 2018 winter games. Nicole Hensley, of Lakewood, will play for the U.S. Womens Olympic Hockey Team.

Robert P. Baker and Paige M. Baker, a married couple, and Does 1 through 10, inclusive, Defendants.

Case Number: 2027255 FACTUAL DECLARATION OF PLAINTIFF KELEI CASPERSEN IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION I, KELEI CASPERSEN, declare as follows: 1. I am the Plaintiff in this action, and the Petitioner for relief in the ex-parte application.

2. I live in Turlock, California.

3. Robert P. Baker and his wife, Paige M. Baker (hereinafter, “Defendants”), failed to return down payments made in a purchase agreement with myself regarding real property located at 1725 Carleton Drive, Turlock, California, 95382, (hereinafter, “Property”), as required by the agreement.

4. On or about July 3, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into a “Residential Lease or Month-to-Month Rental Agreement” (hereinafter, “Lease”) concerning Property. The parties also, in conjunction with the Lease, entered into other agreements memorialized by a standard California Association of Realtors Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Option Agreement”), a California Residential Purchase Agreement, and Joint Escrow Instructions (hereinafter, “Purchase Agreement”). The Option Agreement called for a down payment of $50,000.00, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as “Option Money.” Plaintiff paid that amount to Defendants on July 15, 2013. The Lease Agreement called for monthly rental payments of $2,300.00 per month, of which $300.00 per month would be added to the down payment. To date, Plaintiff have paid a total down payment of $52,325.00.

5. On or about March 1, 2014, the parties modified their agreement to cancel the purchase of the Property by Plaintiff to allow Defendants to sell the Property to another party. The Memorandum to the Option Agreement and Addendum to the Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Modification”), called for the down payment money paid by Plaintiff to be refunded from the proceeds of the sale of Property from escrow, and with any remaining balance to be paid within two years of sale.

6. After the Modification was signed by all parties, Defendants did accept an offer on the Property. The Defendants opened an escrow account on the Premises on or about March 17, 2014, with Stewart Title Company.

7. Plaintiff properly registered the claim on the escrow with Stewart Title Company. The payment from escrow was only going to provide some $20,000.00 toward the claim, but some is better than nothing, and the Modification then called for the balance to be paid over the next

proceeds of the sale of Property from escrow, and with any remaining balance to be paid within two years of sale.

6. After the Modification was signed by all parties, Defendants did accept an offer on the Property. The Defendants opened an escrow account on the Premises on or about March 17, 2014, with Stewart Title Company.

7. Plaintiff properly registered the claim on the escrow with Stewart Title Company. The payment from escrow was only going to provide some $20,000.00 toward the claim, but some is better than nothing, and the Modification then called for the balance to be paid over the next two years.

8. Thereafter, Defendants shut down their escrow with Stewart Title, and moved the escrow to Old Republic Title. The escrow was completed and closed only three days later.

9. Defendants did not inform Plaintiff of the change in escrow companies, nor did they instruct the new company to pay the legitimate claim of the Plaintiffs.

10. Thus, Plaintiff did not receive any payment from escrow as agreed, nor has she received any payment from Defendants toward the refund of the down payment.

11. In addition to the failure to pay, the Plaintiff has been unable to buy another house because she lacks the down payment. The prices for homes has risen sharply in the last two years, and the failure of the Defendants to pay as agreed has kept the Plaintiff from participating in the increase in value a home purchased two years ago has undergone.

12. On or about August 2, 2016, Plaintiff and her then-husband Daniel Curry divorced due to irreconcilable differences. The stress and strain from the loss of Plaintiff’s entire life savings was a direct cause of her divorce. She lost her husband of fifteen (15) years primarily, though not solely, due to incredible strain this financial loss created.

13. Worse, Plaintiff has suffered nightmares, nights of insomnia, and other symptoms of depression due to the loss of such a large sum.

14. I am in need of this Ex Parte hearing because I need the money that Defendants agreed to pay, to secure my financial security.

Misc. Private Legals Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO DECEMBER 2017 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of DECEMBER 2017 for each County affected.

17CW3196 DBS, LLC, 4501 S. Santa Fe Blvd., Littleton, CO 80110 (James J. Petrock, Petrock & Fendel, 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT, DOUGLAS COUNTY. Decree information for which change is sought: Case No. 05CW243, decreed on February 24, 2006. The property which is the subject of the decree is 36.2 acres, being Tract 1, Chatfield Ridge Third Amendment, generally located in the NW1/4NE1/4 of Section 28, T6S, R68W of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, as shown on Attachment A (Subject Property). Applicant is the owner of the Subject Property and the groundwater which is the subject of this application.

Proposed change: In the original decree, an augmentation plan was approved for use of 5 acre-feet per year for 200 years of not nontributary Arapahoe aquifer groundwater for commercial use in a landscaping business operation, including irrigation. By this application, Applicant requests that the decreed uses be changed to include in house use in two residences and stockwatering use. Applicant reserves the right to revise the uses without having to amend the application or republish the same. Return flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use. Applicant is required to replace 4% of the annual amount and return flow from commercial, in house and irrigation use is sufficient to replace the required amount annually. (The actual depletion at 200 years of pumping is only 0.72%% of the annual amount withdrawn). Depletions occur to the Plum Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that stream system.

No other provisions of the original decree will be changed, including reservation of an equal amount of nontributary groundwater for replacement of post pumping depletions. Further, Applicants pray that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (4 pages).

NOTES FROM PAGE 17

rapping lyrics almost purely for shock value over hard, minimalist tones that sometimes barely qualified as beats. All of that is to say, if you told me he’d make the straightup prettiest rap album of 2017 back then, I’d have laughed in your face.

On “Flower Boy,” the beats are lush, soulful creations that could stand on their own if Tyler wanted them to. But fortunately, he uses the tracks as soundscapes to tell some of his most personal and love-drunk stories. “Garden Shed,” where Tyler explores sexual identity, is a particular standout, but the lyrics that hit me hardest come from “911/Mr. Lonely,” where he raps, “I’m the loneliest man alive/But I keep on dancing to throw ‘em off/I’m gon’ run out of moves ‘cause I can’t groove to the blues.”

Waxahatchee — “Out in the Storm” Last year, I wrote glowingly about Allison Crutchfield’s debut solo album, while mentioning that her twin sister Kate has been making some of the best indie rock of the decade under the name Waxahatchee. And just a few months later, she went and proved me correct with the release of her fourth album, “Out in the Storm.”

The album certainly reads like a break-up record, but Kate imbues a tired conceit with a layer of insight and forthrightness that brings the listener in as close as a whisper.

The resulting intimacy on tracks like “Recite Remorse,” and “Silver,” are breathtaking, and the catharsis of “Sparks Fly” is like a breath of fresh air. That goes for the album as a whole.

God bless the Crutchfield sisters.

The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die — “Always Foreign” Outside of punk, rock hasn’t really contributed to much to the political activism scene in the first half of the decade. But following the 2016 election, it became clear that people were going to have to make their voices heard.

The members of The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have never been afraid of using their music to give a voice to marginalized and misunderstood, and their take on alternative rock and emo is the perfect match for these fractious times. The group examines the stresses of fear and anxiety, the military-industrial complex, and the demonization of immigrants. Tracks like “Fuzz Minor” and “Marine Tigers” are vital, anger-filled stories.

We could all do with a little righteous indignation heading into a new year, and “Always Foreign” provides it in spades.
