Deadline in town’s special election approaching Mail-in ballots about at-large mayor issues due by 7 p.m. on May 15

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock is collecting ballots and awaiting results in a local special election that comes to a head on May 15.

The town council approved calling the special election and putting two questions on the ballot to get voter approval for various steps in the town’s transition to an at-large mayor system.

Voters in November approved switching to an at-large system and redistricting following a citizen-led petition that forced the issue on the ballot.

The mayor will now be elected by a townwide vote and not through a vote of the seven councilmembers, as was previously done.

Following the November election, the town was tasked with forming a transition plan, which includes deciding the date for the first at-large mayoral election, when redistricting would occur and setting qualifications to run for mayor.

The town says making the changes outlined in each May 15 ballot question is necessary for implementing the new mayoral system. But those chang-

Who will fill the mayor’s chair once Castle Rock switches to an at-large mayor system?

Before the town gets there it must decide when the first at-large mayor election will be held and when redistricting will occur after voters approved moving to an at-large system in November.

JESSICA GIBBS es also will revise the town charter, for which voter approval is required.

As of May 1, the town — with Douglas County’s assistance — had mailed 39,500 ballots to its registered voters.

More ballots may be mailed as residents continue to register. By May 3 more than 2,800 ballots had been cast.

Here’s three things to know about the election.

What’s the election process?

The special election is being conducted through mail-in ballots. Ballots were mailed to registered voters in Castle Rock the week of April 23. The town must receive completed ballots

What will be on the ballot?

One question will ask voters to approve listing certain qualifications to

What happens if one or both of the ballot measures fail?

Town attorneys have cautioned that implementing the new government structure will require changing the charter and, by law, voters must sign off on any charter amendments. So the town is asking for voter approval.

Should residents reject one or both of the ballot measures, the town quite simply goes back to the drawing board.

Council would need to reconsider how to implement the at-large system, which may also delay the first at-large mayoral election. The next regularly scheduled election for councilmembers is in 2020.

Castle Rock repeals pit bull ban

no later than 7 p.m. on May 15 for them to be counted.

Voters can turn in ballots by mail or to one of two 24-hour drop-off locations. One drop-off box is located in the town hall parking lot at 100 N. Wilcox St. The second is in the Douglas County Elections parking lot at 125 Stephanie Place. Residents still needing to register to vote can do so at GoVoteColorado.com.

run for mayor into the town charter.

Those qualifications would require the mayor be a registered elector of the town, a United States citizen and a resident of Castle Rock for at least one year. The ballot measure would also prohibit the mayor from being a paid town employee.

The other question would set the first at-large mayor election during the Nov. 6 regular election and authorize the election commission to conduct redistricting in 2018. Two councilmember elections would coincide with the mayoral election. The remaining four would follow in 2020. Redistricting is required because the petition calling for an at-large mayor also called for the number of town districts to be cut from seven to six.

Castle Rock has officially lifted its 26-year-old ban on pit bulls following a unanimous decision from town councilmembers on May 1.

The 5-0 vote, for which Councilmembers Jess Loban and Brett Ford were absent, concluded months of debate between groups on both sides of the breed-specific legislation issue. The revised code will go into effect June 1.

While some residents have argued the breed is too powerful, unpredictable and dangerous, defenders maintain incidents involving pit bulls are more often the result of irresponsible ownership. They view breed bans as discriminatory to the animals.

Following the May 1 decision, Castle Rock will now use a system regulating dogs on their behavior, not breed, by classifying them as “dangerous” or “potentially dangerous.”

The new system was criticized by some as a “bite-first” approach to regulating dogs, meaning dogs wouldn’t be flagged until they acted aggressively and potentially caused bodily harm.

Five town residents, three nonresidents and a representative from Colorado Voters for Animals — an animal advocacy group focused on public policy — attended the meeting to speak on the issue. Two of the residents, George Hager and David

Natalizia, were the only attendees in support of keeping the ban, and each spoke passionately for their cause.

Natalizia said he moved to Castle Rock 10 years ago and, at the time, felt neutral on pit bulls bans. Since then he says he’s met pit bull attack victims who have changed his mind. When the breed maims or kills, it’s often the first time they attack, he said.

Natalizia accused town staff of “cherry picking” research that supported lifting a ban.

Hager decried councilmembers for not acknowledging Colorado victims of pit bull attacks, specifically naming Susan Shawl of Conifer, killed in 2016, Jennifer Brooke of Elbert County, killed in 2003, and Gregg Jones, who lost an arm in a pit bull attack in 2005.

The vote was cause for celebration in other parts of the room.

Jen Dudley, of Castle Rock, and Brittany Higgins exchanged hugs following the council meeting. Higgins, a Littleton resident, told council she and her family wanted to relocate to Castle Rock but wouldn’t do so with a pit bull ban in place. She commended council and staff for considering regulations based on dog behavior.

“A system that just makes more sense,” she said.

Dudley, who’s advocated since January 2017 for the ban to be lifted and started the group End Castle Rock BSL, said the repeal felt surreal but exciting.

The little horse with no name and no history was headed for her last ride in the back of a trailer headed for Mexico or Canada, where she would be killed and used to make dog food.

Malnourished and sick with a severe bone infection in her jaw, the gentle 4-year-old sorrel mare with a curious nature had been given up on by her breeders, who decided her medical issues were not worth the investment, xxxx said. She waited in the kill pen at a Colorado horse auction last fall.

But then Jackie Avis, president of the Franktown non-profit Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, looking specifically for horses to rescue, spotted her. “I didn’t know for sure if she would even make it,� said Avis, who regularly sours kill pens at Colorado auctions and buys horses that the organization rehabilitates at its facility. “But there was something about her, and she had good confirmation, meaning she was put together nice. I could see all of her bones — I had to bring her home.�

Avis said she often takes chances on horses that may not survive, and her life-long passion for horses helps her decide which ones to rescue. Once back at the ranch, the horses are cared for and rehabilitated by a group of staff and volunteers, many of which have developmental disabilities.

The newest addition to Drifter’s Hearts of Hope was given the name

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, in Franktown, is one of Colorado’s largest horse rescues. Founders Erich and Jean Kirshner helped create the non-profit organization, not only to help rescue horses but also to give people of all ages with developmental disabilities a chance to be around animals and be able to help others. Their daughter Bella, 18, volunteers at the 350-plus acre ranch, which was donated to Drifter’s Hearts of Hope via a $1 a year lease by a fellow horse lover. Since its inception in 2014, the organization has saved more than 300 horses from slaughter. “Folks like Bella are helped a lot, but there is little opportunity for them to help others,� said Jean Kirshner. “We’re not all horse people, but here she can help serve others.�

For more information visit http://www.driftersheartsofhope.org/ Enchantress — she soon captured the hearts of all her caregivers.

Bella Kirshner, 18, who has cerebral palsy, has been volunteering at Drifter’s Hearts of Hope for four years, and helps around the ranch and with the animals. “I brushed Enchantress,� said Bella. “She really liked it.�

Enchantress began to thrive. Her once matted and shedding coat returned to a beautiful sorrel color, and her malnourished frame transformed into a powerful, muscular quarter horse stature.

The nonprofit had recently hired Ben Grogan as a horse trainer. And once Enchantress was healthy enough to ride, it was up to Grogan to teach her how to be a good horse for families and kids.

Laydon vows fresh view on county government Key focuses are fiscal accountability, managing growth, improving infrastructure

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Abe Laydon’s opponent in the Republican primary election for county commissioner, Diane Holbert, may have years of experience in a public office, a service Laydon says he respects. But he believes Douglas County is ready for a fresh face in local government.

And Laydon says he’s it.

The attorney from Lone Tree is a husband and father of three who is ready to put his law career on hold should he win the race for county commissioner of District 1, which Laydon covers areas of Lone Tree, Parker and northeast portions of unincorporated Douglas County.

The 42-year-old has been a practicing business and land use attorney for 15 years. That includes overseeing multimillion-dollar deals, he said, acquisitions, commercial leases and, on occasion, tenant disputes.

“I think the most challenging aspect is when parties have a hard time communicating,” he said. “My best skill set is being able to sit down in a room with people who have different viewpoints and getting them to a place of understanding.”

He became interested in law in .kindergarten, when Laydon’s teacher assigned him to be the prosecutor in the Goldilocks case.

“I got a conviction,” Laydon said, jokingly, “and the rest was history.”

Laydon studied political science at Colorado State University and earned a law degree from the University of Colorado.

Gaining support Laydon has put the land use experience to work as a Douglas County planning commissioner and, through that role, earned the support of Diana Love, president of the Franktown Citizens Coalition.

Love, a former attorney and chief prosecutor, and the Franktown Citizens Coalition gathered in the hundreds at county planning commission and county board meetings to protest a development proposing 286 residential units, commercial and retail space near the rural community. The group prevailed when developers withdrew their application.

Amid the controversy, Love walked away with lasting respect for Laydon.

“All of us were incredibly impressed with how carefully he listened, with

the questions he asked, with the comments he made,” she said. “It became very clear that he knew what he was doing. That he cared. That meeting the law was important to him.”

Following a county board meeting, Love approached Laydon to thank him for his work on the Franktown development. He mentioned he was running for commissioner.

“I said to him, ‘I would like to help,’” Love said.

Love said she found Laydon to be a lawyer as concerned with ethics as he was with the law.

And as a non-affiliated voter, Love said, she cares not about a candidate’s party affiliation but about their qualifications.

“I think Douglas County needs Abe Laydon,” she said.

Holbert declined to comment on Laydon’s candidacy beyond an email statement.

“My job is being the best commissioner that I can be by dedicating my time and energy to serving and representing every citizen in Douglas County,” she wrote. “I am committed to running a positive campaign which highlights my experience in service to the community.”

But although Holbert said she’s running a positive campaign, Laydon said a local political action committee mailed negative information about him in April concerning a 2016 charge of driving under the influence.

A spokeswoman for Laydon’s campaign said the mailer was disseminated by the group Douglas County Conservatives. A spokesperson for the committee could not be reached for comment.

Laydon posted a video to his Facebook page in which he explains his version of events behind the incident.

“Prior to driving I felt completely sober and lucid,” he says in the video.

After being stopped at a sobriety checkpoint, Laydon said he agreed to a roadside test but declined a chemical test, which meant there was no measurement of blood-alcohol content.

“As a result of that,” he says, “the refusal was automatically charged as a DUI. Now that DUI was ultimately pled down to a DWAI, a lesser charge, but that DWAI is a part of my record.

I made that mistake and I take that incident very seriously.”

Court records show a 2016 DUI charge against Laydon was dismissed.

He pleaded guilty to a lower-level DWAI charge — driving while ability impaired — and was sentenced to six months of probation and one day of community service.

Laydon says in the video the experience taught him driving with any amount of alcohol in your system is “never OK, no matter how sober or lucid you think you may feel,” and that he’s a better candidate having learned that lesson.

Half-day or full-day kindergarten depends largely on money Local districts’ programs vary because state only pays for half-day

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Only 13 states in the country require schools districts to offer free full-day kindergarten as part of the school day.

Colorado is not one of them.

In Colorado, districts are only required to offer half-day kindergarten.

And because of a lack of per-pupil funding from the state, parents who want to send their children to full-day programs are required to pay an average tuition of $300 a month.

“We would prefer to have full-day kindergarten for everyone without charging if we had the money,” said Diana Wilson, communications director for Jefferson County Public Schools.

“If the district could afford it, we would standardize it.”

How school districts around the metro area meet that challenge varies.

Jeffco, the second-largest school district in the state with 86,000 students, and Douglas County, the third-largest district with 68,000 students, run similar programs, offering free half-day and paid full-day programs. Much smaller districts, such as Englewood Schools with 3,000 students and Westminster Public Schools with 9,600 students, have developed a model that offers free fullday kindergarten.

In Jeffco, full-day kindergarten is offered at 90 percent of its elementary schools. But for the majority, which

Pine Lane Elementary School in Parker offers half-day kindergarten for free and fullday tuition kindergarten.

COURTESY PHOTO do not receive Title 1 funding and for families who are not receiving free or reduced-price lunch, tuition must be paid for anything past the state-funded half day.

Funding for full-day kindergarten in Jeffco was cut from the budget six years ago by the board at that time. Now, each school offers something different based on the need in its community.

“Most schools have moved toward offering a full day because of the impact of early learning at that age and what we can offer throughout a full day,” said Dawn Odean, early childhood education director for Jeffco schools. “We work

really hard for our kids regardless of which program their families choose, for whatever reason they choose.”

In Douglas County, the model is the same.

The district’s 48 elementary schools each choose to design a program specific to that community with the options of either a free half-day program or a tuition-based full-day program.

“It really comes down to how Colorado funds kindergarten,” said Carrie Stephenson, executive director of school leadership for Douglas County School District.

The State of Colorado funds kinder-

garten students at .58 full-time enrollment — meaning it only pays for about half a day’s worth of school time.

“We only receive partial funding from the state for kindergarten students,” Stephenson said. “So, it requires us to ask parents for tuition to fund the second part of that school day.”

But smaller districts, such as Englewood Schools, are able to supplement the state money with district general funds to offer free full-day kindergarten to all students.

“It’s what we determined will serve our community best and it’s what the students here in Englewood need in order to grow and achieve,” said Joanna Polzin, chief academic officer for Englewood Schools.

For Englewood, the full day allows the luxury of more time for not only academics but also social and emotional learning.

“The stories and concepts we are exposing them to are on a higher level and we also have the benefit of crosscurricular learning,” Polzin said. “I think overall it’s our teachers that make the difference. It really allows them the time to get out students on a deeper level.”

Westminster Public Schools has offered free full-day kindergarten for 10 years. Director of Early Childhood Education Mat Aubuchon said it’s only partially funded by the state, but the program is important to district leadership.

“By investing in programs such as this, we see students who are more prepared both academically and socially for the demanding schedule of SEE PROGRAMS, P31

‘You don’t know all the people you have touched’ Scholarship honors Douglas County students who have persevered, overcome obstacles

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Becca Tuska was 16 years old when doctors left a surgical tool in her body during surgery for a sports injury. The former dancer spent the next year fighting infections as doctors searched for a diagnosis.

She had to re-learn how to walk and was put on a feeding tube.

But Tuska, now a senior at Legend High School in Parker, persevered.

On May 2, she was one of eight seniors to receive the Missy Martin scholarship, which recognizes young people who have prevailed over adversities in their high school careers.

“Getting this honor — my school honoring me for my perseverance and ability to overcome — means a lot to me,” said Tuska, who recently shaved her head to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

“It’s very heartwarming to be recognized.”

The scholarship is named after a

Martin, a high school cheerleader

with aspirations to become a nurse, was able to go to college. She’s now a wife and mother of two young daughters.

Her family started the scholarship fund to help Douglas County students who, like her, have faced and conquered overwhelming obstacles.

“I love it,” Martin said through a smile at the May 2 ceremony at Douglas County High School. She was seen often hugging students, parents and district staff in attendance. “It makes me so happy.”

Principals and counselors from seven high schools across the county presented the $1,000 scholarship to each student. They praised the young people for staying strong through a variety of hardships — the loss of a parent, a car accident, trauma, a chronic illness.

Ex-teacher waives hearing in video case

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Steven Michael Jenkins, the former Douglas County School District employee accused of taking upskirt videos of multiple women and students, including minors, appeared in court for a preliminary hearing May 3 with his attorney.

Jenkins waived his right to a preliminary hearing, which in a felony criminal case is the proceeding where prosecutors present evidence so a judge can determine if there is sufficient cause to proceed to trial, according to an 18th Judicial District Attorney spokeswoman.

Andrew Ho, an attorney for Jenkins, said in an email the defense does not believe the charges against Jenkins reflect the evidence in the case.

“The waiver is a product of meaningful conversations with the District Attorney towards an equitable resolution of this issue,” Ho said.

“There has been no allegation of improper contact or communication with students or other members of the community and, therefore, we deemed it appropriate to proceed in a manner which respects the privacy of all those involved.”

Jenkins was arrested in December on charges of sexual exploitation of a child after the principal of Renaissance Secondary School, where he worked at the time, called police to report that students said they had witnessed Jenkins use his phone to shoot upward video of female students.

Records show police later found approximately 20 “upskirt” videos of an estimated 10 women in addition to three juvenile victims.

Jenkins had been teaching for 30 years and previously worked as a math teacher for Castle View High School. He was fired from the district upon his arrest.

Jenkins is due in court June 11 for an arraignment.

Developer, nonprofit leader and school principal ‘soar’ Highlands Ranch chamber honors women for making a difference in metro area

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Diane Smethills is the principal of Sterling Ranch, a $4.4 billion forwardthinking development spanning 3,400 acres west of Highlands Ranch.

Tamra Ryan is the CEO of Women’s Bean Project, a nonprofit organization based in Denver that employs chronically unemployed and impoverished women.

Allyson Mallory, principal of Ralph Moody Elementary School in Littleton, was in a snowboarding accident two years ago that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

These three women have one thing in common: they have made a significant difference in the Denver metro area. On May 3, they were honored by the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce as “Women Who Soar” for making a significant difference in the Denver metro area.

“We are surrounded by amazing female leaders who are making a difference and leading by example,” Brie McMahon, the chamber’s director of membership development, said at a luncheon at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille at the Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora presents Diane Smethills, principal of Sterling Ranch, with a “Women Who Soar” award at a ceremony on May 3 at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Lone Tree.

ALEX DEWIND

The chamber hosts monthly luncheons at various locations for its members, who are business owners or employees of businesses in south metro Denver.

At a retreat last fall, the chamber program Women in Networking brainstormed the first annual Women Who Soar Awards Luncheon. With more than 100 members and elected officials in attendance, the May 3 event recognized women who have displayed “determination, drive and passion,” McMahon said.

Diane Smethills, principal of Sterling Ranch In 2004, Smethills and her husband, Harold, purchased Sterling Ranch, a master-planned community that sits west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Chatfield Reservoir, just east of the

Roxborough community.

After a 20-year buildout, Sterling Ranch is expected to have about 12,000 homes with 33,000 people.

Innovative features set the community apart from others across the state.

Every home in Sterling Ranch will have 1 gigabit of internet bandwidth, meaning residents have the capability to download a high-definition movie in less than three minutes. The “smart” homes will have a virtual touch-screen that controls technology and energy usage.

Sterling Ranch will also have the state’s first rainwater-harvesting project, which stores rainwater in tanks and ponds that can be used to maintain landscaping.

Diane Smethills credits her success to the “grace of God” and being raised in Colorado.

“I think that makes us different in many ways,” she said at the luncheon, “and stronger in many ways.”

Tamra Ryan, CEO of Women’s Bean Project Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce named Ryan one of the 2017 Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Colorado.

Founded in 1989, Women’s Bean Project employs impoverished women, many of whom are convicted felons, recovering addicts and victims of domestic violence. They package and sell bean soup mixes, baking mixes and other dry food products to more than 1,000 stores across the U.S. and online.

They develop skills in personal and

employment areas with the hope of continuing on to another employer.

The business provides a safe and accepting work environment for the women, the organization’s website says.

They are trained to continue employment.

Ryan says she sees the women blossom.

“By the time they walk through our doors, they are full of possibility,” she said.

Allyson Mallory, principal of Ralph Moody Elementary School Mallory was a principal and teacher in southern California before transitioning to the leader of Ralph Moody Elementary School in Littleton.

On Dec. 23, 2016, she was in a snowboarding accident at Keystone Resort and was airlifted to St. Anthony Hospital. She had broken her back and is paralyzed from the waist down. Three days after her accident, she started what would be seven months of physical therapy.

Mallory has shown a tremendous amount of strength and courage, those who know her say. She returned to work in 2017.

Through her experience, Mallory said she has acquired a sense of acceptance, resiliency and determination.

She hopes to instill those traits in her students.

When asked how she felt about being named a woman who soars, Mallory said: “I am incredibly flattered.”

Expansion changes underway at Chatfield Boaters head out to open water from the Chatfield Reservoir marina. A plan to raise the maximum possible water level by 12 feet means the marina will have to move to higher ground later this year.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Construction is largely on schedule at Chatfield State Park, where crews are moving shoreline amenities and infrastructure to higher ground as part of a project to increase the storage capacity of the reservoir, which will see the high-water mark rise by 12 feet.

The Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project is a $130 million effort to add an additional 20,000 acre feet of water storage capacity to the reservoir, to be used by eight municipal water providers and agricultural organizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado. Construction, which started last winter, is expected to wrap up in about a year.

Several projects have been completed: Both the north boat ramp and the Massey Draw Day Use Area recently reopened to the public, said Chatfield State Park manager Scott Roush.

“Massey is more of a limited opening because we want to get stuff revegetated, so we have some parts fenced off,” Roush said. “It still allows parking and boat access.”

The balloon launch area, which was scheduled to reopen on May 1, likely won’t open until mid-May because of weather delays in revegetation efforts, Roush said. A length of the west perimeter road stretching from the west park entrance the Kingfisher Day Use Area is slated to reopen around

Memorial Day. Ongoing construction on the project will keep both the swim beach near the park’s western entrance and the Plum Creek Nature Center closed all summer. Much of the Plum Creek area will become part of the new flood plain.

Currently, the only way to access the campground is through the park’s southern entrance along Roxborough Park Road.

Crews are working on environmental mitigation in the Plum Creek Nature Area, Roush said.

“We will have to take out some trees in that area,” Roush said. “But we should be able to save more than we thought. The trees there won’t be inundated for the whole growing season. A lot of them are cottonwoods, and lots of them can handle being flooded.”

Longtime visitors to the park won’t see much difference even once the project is completed, Roush said.

“Everything is being replaced in

kind so it’s being put back where it was,” Roush said. “We’re planting trees in all the affected areas, and once those come up it won’t look all that different.”

The project could add new opportunities for boaters, Roush said.

“Paddleboarders, kayakers and canoeists will have new areas to explore at full pool,” Roush said. “It won’t be in the powerboating zone, though.”

Roush said the park will get new facilities and buildings at the swim beach and Massey Draw.

Audubon Society sticks to guns The project doesn’t sit well with the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, which operates a nature center at the park’s south end and heads conservation efforts in the park.

The expansion project is being managed by the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, an umbrella organization composed of entities including the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, the Town of Castle Rock and

the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The reservoir is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which leases the reservoir and surrounding land to the state park system.

Audubon filed a lawsuit against the Corps and the mitigation company in 2014, alleging the project will irreparably harm wildlife habitat around the reservoir, and that the Corps’ environmental impact analysis of the project was flawed because it failed to consider less-damaging alternatives.

A district court judge ruled in December 2017 in favor of the Corps, 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. Oral arguments in the appeal are expected in the fall.

The group is hoping to stop the project before any trees need to be taken out along the shoreline, said attorney Kevin Lynch, who is representing Audubon.

“That’s the impact that’s most concerning,” Lynch said. “That’s prime, unique and valuable wildlife habitat.

We want to send the Corps back to the drawing board to consider alternatives to the project.”

The project has been in the works for a long time, said Joe Maxwell, an operations manager with the Corps of Engineers.

CHATFIELD FROM PAGE 9

“This started long before I got here,” Maxwell said. “The water resource managers proposed this project to the Corps, and we did an environmental impact statement on the project and approved the schedule and project designs.

We’re not overseeing this like a typical project, because it’s not our contract and it’s not our money.

We are making sure the mitigation company is doing what they said they would do.”

Audubon, however, is upset about the carving of a “haul road” — a rough road used to move construction materials — slated to be cut near its nature center, said Polly Reetz, the group’s conservation chair.

“I don’t believe there was any mention of this (in the plans),” Reetz said. “The road will go right through the parking lot of our nature center, then parallel to Wadsworth and curve down toward the South Platte River. As far as we can remember there was nothing like that discussed in the environmental impact statement.”

The proposed haul roads were properly reviewed and approved, said Kris Wahlers, an operations manager with the state park.

“Any new roads have been vetted through the process,” Wahlers said.

“We’ve been diligent about making sure that everything is within scope of project. The plans have been up-

dated since the original drafts — I’m not sure if Audubon saw original plans that have been updated, versus what’s gone through the review process and been approved later.

Anything that’s happened has been reviewed and approved by the Corps of Engineers.”

Maxwell said he wasn’t sure about the status of haul roads in the area.

“I haven’t heard,” Maxwell said.

“I know there are haul roads, used to move dirt. I don’t know if they were specified in the initial plans.

They were just as constructed to get from point A to point B.” More people, more water Environmental mitigation has been high on the mind of project managers, said Tom Browning, the general manager of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company.

“We are planting approximately 100,000 new trees and shrubs within the park boundaries,” Browning said. “That will tremendously help out habitat for birds and wildlife.”

The increased storage capacity will allow for occasional flushes of additional water into the South Platte to shore up fish habitats downstream, Browning said.

The big picture, Browning said, is that as Colorado’s population grows, so will our water needs.

“This will help add storage capacity for municipal, industrial and agricultural uses,” Browning said.

“This is an important piece of the puzzle for the long term sustainable water supply for the Denver area and even our farmers downstream in northern Colorado.”

Honoring the fallen Northglenn ceremony recognizes officers killed in service

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn honors Colorado police officers who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice with a candlelight rvigil every Parrish May, but this year’s ceremony is especially poignant.

“It’s been a really rough start to the year, that’s for sure,” said Northglenn Officer Scott McNeilly.

“We are anticipating a larger turnout this year, more than typical.”

The Northglenn Police Department will honor the three Colorado officers killed while on duty in the first two months the year — Douglas County Deputy Zackari Parrish, who was shot on Dec. 31, Adams County Deputy Heath Gumm,

shot on Jan. 24, and El Paso County Deputy Micah Flick, who was shot Feb. 5.

Northglenn’s annual Fallen Officer Memorial Candlelight Vigil is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 17 at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, 11800 Community Center Dr. Law enforcement from all jurisdictions along with the public are invited to attend.

This year’s event is being co-hosted by the Adams County Sheriff ’s office.

“I know there will be a special procession for Deputy Gumm to honor him and his family as well,” McNeilly said.

The ceremony honors all 313 Colorado police officers who have died on duty and that includes the park’s namesake, Northglenn Police Corporal Edgar B. Rains Jr. Rains was shot by friendly fire May 30, 1984 while he and other officers confronted an armed suspect during a domestic assault.

“He was the only officer in Northglenn’s history to fall in the line of duty,”

McNeilly said.

The park was later re-named in his honor.

Northglenn began offering the memorial in 2003.

“We didn’t necessarily start the memorial because of him,” McNeilly said.

“But some of the officers thought it would be nice to recognize fallen officers. Our current chief, who was a sergeant at the time, decided to take the lead and put the event together.”

They send invitations to agencies statewide, inviting them to attend.

This year’s event will feature the state’s Police Honor Guard, banners with all of the fallen officers names and performances by a bagpipe band.

“Each officer honored is introduced by a representative from their department or agency,” he said.

“They give a brief history of the officer, what happened and the incident that lead to their death.”

The department will also present wreaths in honor of the fallen officers.

Amputees make strides toward goals at adaptive clinic School of Mines event helps more than 30 Coloradans

Adaptive Mobility Clinic, organized by local prosthetics provider Hanger Clinic.

Miller was one of more than 30 Coloradans with limb loss or limb difference who hit the track May 5 at Colorado School of Mines to practice being mobile.

The clinic was designed to help amputees of all ages become more active and see what’s possible with perseverance, clinical support and prosthetic devices tailored for running and other goals.

“It’s a great way to get them out and about and show them they can be part of the Colorado lifestyle and be active again,” Scott Taylor, of Hanger Clinic, said of the participants.

At the clinic, Miller tried a running blade for the first time.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Traci Miller, 52, has been an above-the-knee amputee for 31 years. The one thing she hasn’t been able to do since losing her leg to a rare vascular disorder is run.

“Now, I just really want to learn how to run again,” said Miller, a Littleton resident.

“I have four grandchildren and would absolutely love to be able to run with them.”

Regaining those skills is what brought Miller to the sixth annual Colorado

“It makes an enormous difference,” she said after taking a run up the field. “It’s night and day. Before today I’ve only done the hop, skip, jump run. So for me to go foot-to-foot is huge.”

Improving their running techniques was the draw for amputees Jeff Lampe, 32, of Denver, who is training for an Iron Man competition, and Gadson Woodard, 11, of Denver, who loves to run for the freedom it offers.

Testing out high-tech athletic prosthesis is one of the goals of the clinic.

Highlands Ranch resident Ilene Brandon was all smiles after she was fitted to test a running blade.

“I don’t remember how to run,” said the six-year amputee. “I want to remember how to run.”

Traci Miller, 52, a Littleton resident, works on strengthening her hip flexor with standing mountain climber exercises.

Are you sitting down? Better yet, are you lying down surrounded by pillows?

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

take the safety of my readers very seriously.

Therefore, I’d like to express my deepest condolences in advance to anyone who reads one of my columns while drinking hot coffee, driving, being fitted for a catheter, piloting a plane, or slicing green beans (diagonally), and experiencing an unfortunate incident.

Lawsuits are landing on peripheral laps all the time, and I want to be covered with a disclaimer, to lessen the chances that my bank account will be dwindled upon.

“Your honor, I gasped when I read what he wrote. I swerved, barely missed a duck, and drove straight into a tree. It was his fault.”

My editor thinks I should cut back on all of the shocking comments I make here.

I said it might turn me into a benign and innocuous shell of my former self.

“But it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

I am sitting on some blockbuster allegations because I don’t want to wind up in court.

For one thing, I already know what Prince Harry and that Markle girl are going to name their baby. And we haven’t even had the wedding yet.

I can’t wait. How about you? Royal weddings really get to me. There is nothing like a shameless display of wealth set against a meaningless monarchy.

All seriousness aside, the only “Royal Wedding” I care about is the film, and then only for a few minutes, when Fred Astaire is dancing on the ceiling.

It’s nearly wedding season.

I never cry at weddings, and do you know why?

I never go to weddings in the first place.

I know how much we relish our pomp and circumstances: proms, debutante balls, graduations, and weddings — but none of it interests me in an iota.

Likewise, we hand out awards left and right.

Song of the Year, Employee of the Month, Miss Castle Rock.

Maybe I am envious. Who wouldn’t want to be Miss Castle Rock?

I have to admit, I’d like the Pulitzer boys and girls to knock on my door. (If it can’t be Ed McMahon).

You know the songs, right?

Sometimes it is one of our favorite songs and then other times, it’s a silly song or tune, or even just the chorus to a song and it gets planted in our brain. And sometimes it is a person who we run into and they are singing it and we just can’t erase it from our ears.

In praise of tax deduction National Small Business Week was April 30-May 4. It represented an opportunity to celebrate small businesses that have succeeded in today’s competitive and fast-changing economy. It was also a chance to recognize the integral role small businesses play in our communities and economies. Small businesses not only create about two-thirds of all new state jobs, employing a million Coloradans, but they also create products and services that improve our standards of living.

Entrepreneurship is more than just a way to make a living. It’s also an opportunity to live life on your own terms and to achieve the American Dream. This is why I’m excited about many aspects of the new federal tax code, which delivers the biggest small business tax cut in the nation’s history. This will allow more small businesses to succeed.

The tax cuts passed late last year by Congressional Republicans offer a new 20 percent tax deduction for small businesses, including sole-proprietorships.

This allows these entrepreneurs to protect 20 percent of their revenues from the IRS and use the funds to invest in their businesses to make them more competitive and viable. For my small company, that is a big deal.

I’ve seen many small businesses just barely fail financially

in my career. Often, they are just one investment or one product upgrade away from succeeding — a few thousand dollars short.

This tax deduction will save these marginal small business, and save their owners’ dreams in the process.

CDOT’s proposal to expand I-25 along the ‘Gap’ using toll lanes sounds a lot like another road project in Colorado where we taxpayers provided the funding for the road expansion, but did not get the right to use the additional lane unless we were willing to pay more to CDOT in the form of a toll. That other project was the toll lane added on I-70 between Idaho Springs and the Berthoud Pass exit.

In the ‘Gap’ project the entire $350 million cost is being covered by the revenue generated from our tax payments. As taxpayers we contribute an incredible amount of money for road projects through state and federal gasoline taxes, auto registration taxes, etc. In the case of the ‘Gap” project we taxpayers have already paid for the project, yet CDOT feels they can use our tax revenue to fund the entire project, and then still charge us more to use the additional lanes.

Judy Mikelson, loving wife, amazing mother and incredible grandmother passed into the Lord’s hands on April 30, 2018. Judy was born in Denver, Colorado on June 22, 1938 to parents Warren and Louise Christensen. She was raised in her early years, along with younger brother Frank, on the Dakan Ranch, her maternal family’s homestead and ranch in the West Plum Creek valley. The family relocated to Castle Rock in 1951. She attended first grade in Littleton, Colorado, then continued her education at Castle Rock Elementary, Douglas County High School and the University of Colorado.

Judy was active within the Douglas County community. In her youth she participated in 4-H for ten years and was the Worthy Advisor of the Castle Rock Chapter of the International Order of Rainbow Girls. In adulthood she and Dale were involved in local and state politics, and Judy was a Vice-President of the Colorado Young Republicans. Judy and Dale also sponsored and managed numerous local youth rodeos. Judy followed in the footsteps of her mother Louise and became an involved congregation member of St. Philips-In-TheField Episcopal Church, Sedalia, CO. In the last half of her life, she also took on the role of family archivist, genealogist and historian.

Engaged on the day of her high school graduation in May of 1956, she married her high school sweetheart, Dale Mikelson of Castle Rock, on June 22, 1957. Dale and Judy were blessed with four children – Mike, Mindy, Quinn and Rana. She and Dale built a family home east of Castle Rock on the Albert Mikelson ranch and farm. A stalwart partner to Dale and all-present mother, Judy became a farmer and ranch hand and worked with her children to operate the family ranch and farm raising Hereford cattle and winter wheat while Dale worked as an aerospace engineer at Martin Marietta. With her children involved in 4-H, Little Britches and High School Rodeos, Judy also became a hauler of children, livestock and horses to various shows and rodeos over many years.

Judy was a second “mom” to many of her kids’ school and rodeo friends, and no child in need of a piece of chocolate cake, a meal, or a bed to

rest upon was turned away.

Ever devoted to Dale, she traveled with him to Washington DC for work, and to a multitude of rodeos and cutting horse events. Dale and Judy also traveled to Germany, Norway, Australia and New Zealand. Together, they lived a life as partners, lovers, and friends.

Judy excelled as a loving grandmother and great grandmother and was a model of goodness and strength for her family through her actions and deeds. She was known for her welcoming smile, warm hugs and kisses, her kind and learned words of advice, her constant and unconditional love, and her quiet and all-encompassing support when help or counsel was needed.

Plagued by the pain of persistent rheumatoid arthritis in the latter half of her life, Judy demonstrated amazing inner strength and determination; one never heard her complain, one always was blessed by her warm smile, and throughout each day she pursued the beauty and rewards of life.

Judy is survived by her loving husband Dale, her brother Frank (Robbie) Christensen, her children Mike (Erika) Mikelson, Mindy (Rob) Sellers, Quinn Mikelson, Rana (Robert) Schuster; by her grandchildren Bob Kirby, Michael (Stefanie) Kirby, Cora (Hunter) Hebert, Kaylyn Kirby, Miles (Sara) Schuster, Mallory (Josh) Dominoski, Hannah Mikelson, Lauren Mikelson and Melany Mikelson; and great grandchildren Jayden, Charlotte, Kinsey, Gigi and Sterling.

There was never a person, woman, friend, wife, mother or grandmother loved more than Judy, and she returned an equal love to all. She devoted her life to all things family, and she will be greatly missed.

Private family services will held May 12, 2018 at 11am at St. Philip-InThe-Field Episcopal Church, Sedalia, CO. A Celebration of Live event will be held for her friends and family in mid June. Location and time to be announced soon.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be given in her name to the Saint Philip in the Field Episcopal Church (http://www.stphilipinthefield.org) or the Salvation Army (https://www.salvationarmyusa. org).

Our Mother’s Things: A Mother’s Day Tribute

W

e were in no rush. Our mother had lived in her own apartment in my sister’s home, with her own kitchen, her own laundry room, her own glass doors ALCHEMY that opened to her own patio where she tended her own potted plants.

Our mother had a favorite chair where she would watch the Rockies play with the newspaper box scores in her hand.

She had a lovely and inviting guest Andrea Doray room where I stayed for a few months when I moved to Arvada and waited for my own new home to be ready.

So when she died on her birthday 10 years ago, there was no immediate need to clear out her things.

No house to pack up and close. No cross-country trips to settle her affairs and no U-Haul filled with just a selection of the best that would fit.

Instead, one day, we would finally begin to sort through the items of an 89-year-life well loved.

Here is the silky scarf I will keep tucked in my top drawer because I imagine it carries her scent.

And the fragile gauzy handkerchief — something borrowed — that I carried in my wedding.

I will keep it now.

Some of our mother’s jewelry will find its way to the girls of the family — me, my sister, my sister’s daughter.

Most will reside in a velvet-lined box on my sister’s closet shelf, where our grandmother’s jewelry has also lived for more than 30 years.

Our mother’s table linens reflect some 60 years of her style.

Art deco patterns, bright florals, tassels and fringe. Cocktail napkins

starched and crisply pressed into a square the size of my palm.

Her collection of tableware tells the stories of the people she entertained.

Now I become the owner of some of these things and I wonder, what shall I do?

I no longer own a dining table. What shall I do with this soft pink linen cloth that matches the gentle willow pattern of her China?

What will I do with dozens of her glass tea sets, cups so small one can barely hook a finger through the handles, footed cups that sit snugly into a corner of an elegant glass tray made to hold little more than a cucumber sandwich?

I don’t remember her serving cucumber sandwiches, though. I do recall precise triangles filled with egg salad, crusts neatly removed, a perfect slice of pimento tooth-picked on top.

Here are two pieces of metal art. In photographs of me as a baby, they are

hanging on her walls, mute sentinels.

Now they will hang on my walls, again my guardians.

I know nothing about box scores, but I will avidly watch the Broncos, the Avalanche, and —sometimes — the Rockies from her favorite blue chair.

Here are her lamps, from the ‘50s and the ‘60s, curving brushed metals, octagonal insets, stiff pristine shades.

I will keep one of these lamps, and after the cord burns out and sparks across the floor, I will drive around with it in the back of my car because I will not be able to part with it.

My sister will take it over and have the lamp lovingly repaired.

I will keep, in a wooden glassed-in box, the flag pulled taut and ceremoniously folded during her funeral at Fort Logan National Cemetery. One officer presented it to us with thanks from a grateful nation.

Festival will be one for the books

The new Red Rocks Beer Garden in Morrison features 12 Colorado beers.

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER

Breweries bring A-game to

summer season

Options abound for fans of beers and spirits alike

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or many in Colorado, summer often means cold drinks in the outdoors.

With more than 300 breweries in throughout the state — to say nothing of distilleries, cideries and wineries — the state is a smorgasbord of options for those in search of refreshing drinks and even better company.

“I grew up in Montana, so drinking outside, particularly on a river, is one of my favorite things,” said Paul Thompson, owner and founder of Morrison’s new Red Rocks Beer Garden. “There’s just a more social aspect to it, and people love drinking outside.”

Almost every brewery is going to celebrate the season in its own way.

Many are unveiling new or seasonal recipes, while others are hosting special events, including concerts and a brewery bike loop. And some, such as Thompson’s beer garden, see the coming months as the perfect time to launch a new business.

“There are so many breweries out there, we have to find ways to set ourselves apart. And this loop adds

a sense of discovery to the event,” said Dave Bergen, co-owner and brewmaster at Joyride in Edgewater, which launched a new brewery bike loop with WestFax, Hogshead and Seedstock, also in the east Jefferson County area. “It’s always more fun to do these kinds of events with groups of people — and everyone is going to meet cool people along the way.”

(Keep on reading for more on this monthly event.)

People should visit websites and social media pages of their favorite breweries to see what has been scheduled. Here are some of the kinds of activities you to expect: A drink to break the heat There’s a beer or spirit for every season, and when it comes to summer, breweries and other businesses go for drinks that are light, cool and refreshing.

Longmont’s St. Vrain Cidery will soon reveal its Pink Guava cider, which is made by fermenting pink guava and apple juice together to create this tropical refresher.

Lone Tree Brewing has a seasonal Cucumber Wheat that is the perfect pairing for summer months, according to Emily Hutto, with the brewery.

Lone Tree also unveiled the Hoppy Little Trees Project, a fresh yearround rotating IPA series.

These IPAs be available exclusively in Lone Tree’s tasting room and will

Paul Thompson, owner of the new Red Rocks Beer Garden, is hosting an official opening party on May 12. The new garden features 100 percent Colorado beers and food. include Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial, Willamette and experimental YCH hop varieties.

“We have a plethora of other hop varieties in the cooler,” explained head brewer Josh West. “This new IPA project will allow us to make some super hoppy IPAs while taking full advantage of our robust inventory, which give us brewers the chance to experiment with new hop combinations.”

Lone Tree also joined with the Trubucha Kombucha company to make drinks that employ tart cherry, blueberry, raspberry, lemon lime ginger and more.

New breweries to visit Morrison is the kind of quaint small town that people love during the summer and its proximity to Red Rocks makes it a particularly popular place from May through September.

Which made the end of April the perfect time for Thompson to open Red Rocks Beer Garden at 116 Stone St. SEE BREWERIES, P17

Growing up, one of my favorite summer activities was finding some shade outside and spending the day with a good book or two.

Somehow, somebody at the Arvada Center must have magically picked up on the fact that it’s still one of the best ways to spend a day and created an event for book lovers like myself.

The first annual Arvada Center Book Fest will be held at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 19.

“We wanted to highlight the fact that we have programming related to all the arts,” said Leanne Cadman, the center’s COMING associate director of ATTRACTIONS Corporate and Foundation Relations. “We wanted to offer more literary arts and humanities, and this kind of event is really exciting for us.”

Designed as an event for all ages, Book Fest includes hands-on activities Clarke Reader and storytime for kids, panel discussions and staged readings, an all-day exhibit hall, writing workshops, and New York Times best-selling author Laura Moriarty as the special keynote speaker.

General admission allows visitors entry to the all-day exhibit hall with publishers, authors, rare books, games and more. Award-winning authors and poets will read and sign their works. A pop-up bookstore operated by BookBar will feature books available for purchase, and Steuben’s, Newk’s Eatery, La Patisserie Francaise and Hunter Bay Coffee will host an onsite pop-up café and coffee shop. There will also be panel discussions and staged readings throughout the day, as well as a spelling bee, trivia and read-off contests for adults and kids.

For an additional purchase, attendees can enjoy brunch and conversation with local authors, participate in writing workshops and seminars and attend the keynote speech. There will be workshops geared for teens, kids and adults, from the aspiring writer to the seasoned author. Topics include bookmaking, the business of writing, zine-making (mini-pamphlets or -magazines), and sessions on writing poetry, young adult fiction, mystery novels and more.

“We hope to bring in a lot of people who have never visited us before,” Cadman said. “Attendees will be able to meet authors they might not have read otherwise or find a new favorite book.”

The garden features 100 percent Colorado beers, wines and foods, and offers a historic cottage and garden for customers’ drinking pleasures. Brews like Mountain Toad Brewing, Telluride Brewing Company, Dry Dock Brewing Company and Left Hand Brewing Company will all be available.

“We wanted to create a place that is more of a self-serve and self-seat instead of the formal restaurant atmosphere,” Thompson said. “We were inspired by places like Golden City Brewing that my wife and I love so much.”

Concertgoers can get $2 off their first beer by showing their event ticket, and there will be ticket giveaways to Red Rocks shows throughout the season.

The season will see numerous new breweries coming to the metro area, including the Burly Brewing Company in Castle Rock, Colorado Plus Cidery and Pub in Golden and Coal Mine Ave Brewing Company in Littleton.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The World Is A Beautiful Place at Larimer Lounge 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 the marginalized and misunderstood, and their take on alternative rock and emo is the perfect match for these fractious times we live in.

Outside of punk, rock hasn’t really contributed much to the political activism scene in the first half of the decade.

Not only does The World Is A Beautiful Place bring some much-needed righteous indignation to every performance, it also provide some catharsis to concert-goers.

Those looking for a great rock show won’t want to miss The World Is A Beautiful Place playing with Pianos Become the Teeth at the Larimer Lounge, 2721 Larimer St. in Denver.

The show begins at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

Be sure to show up early in time for Pianos Become the Teeth, who released one of the year’s best rock albums in February.

lights the unique creations of four west metro breweries — Joyride, WestFax Hogshead and Seedstock. As promised, here’s the details on the event.

The Colorado Railroad Museum, 17155 W. 44th Ave. in Golden, is hosting the Steampunk at the Station event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

Fans are encouraged to arrive in their steampunk attire and enjoy a range of events, including a rare “double-header” train pulled by two historic steam locomotives, Denver and Rio Grande, Nos. 346 and 491, buskers, entertainers, beers, food trucks and a lot more.

Kick off the Film on the Rocks season with Star Wars Over the years, Red Rocks Amphitheater’s Film on the Rocks season has become one of the definite highlights of the summer. It’s tough to top some of the best movies in cinematic history on a massive screen, paired with live music or a comedian as an opening act, all for cheaper than most movie tickets.

Plus, you’re at Red Rocks, and that’s hard to beat.

This year’s film season is kicking off with Denver native Rian Johnson’s interstellar blockbuster, “The Last Jedi.” The latest entry into the Star Wars franchise will be shown at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, in Morrison, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15.

For those who somehow missed the movie when it first came out around the holidays, “The Last Jedi” finds Rey working with Luke Skywalker to develop her Jedi skills, while the rest of the galaxy fights to stop the First Order.

Catch Cirque’s complex Corteo in Broomfield Somehow Cirque Du Soleil’s performances always manage to be thrilling and eerily beautiful, and that’s what its new show, Corteo, promises to audiences.

Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous, festive parade imagined by a clown. The show blends together the passion of an actor and the grace of an acrobat, and takes audiences to a world of fun, comedy and exploration.

Corteo is coming to the 1st Bank Center, 11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield, from Thursday, May 24,

WestFax, 6733 W. Colfax Ave., at noon, and the longest portion is the first — a 2.2-mile ride from WestFax to Joyride, 2501 Sheridan Blvd. From there, it goes to Hogshead, 4460 W. 29th Ave., and ends at Seedstock, 3610 W. Colfax Ave. “The tour was partly inspired by brewery bus tours that have popped up,” said Taylor Porter, taproom manager at Seedstock. “We’re all neighbors in this great brewery community, and this gives everyone an opportunity to meet each other and try new places.”

The highest profile events are the concerts at Breckenridge Brewery, a series of three charity concerts hosted in partnership with 97.3 KBCO. The first concert is on May 13 and includes Manchester Orchestra, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Phillip Phillips. Past performers include Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, Leon Bridges, Dispatch and Big Head Todd and The Monsters.

Ticket proceeds benefit 1 Million 4 Anna Foundation, which helps fight the battle to eradicate Ewing Sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer primarily in children and young adults.

The other two entries in the series haven’t been announced yet, but the brewery is also hosting its 28th anniversary Hootenanny on July 7. The event will feature Mike Gordon, Hard Working Americans, Billy Strings and more.

Tickets and more information can be found at www.breckbrew.com.

through Sunday, May 27.

The show tells the story of the clown Mauro, who recently died, but whose spirit remains. Instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance. The show will bring laughter to everyone, with tumblers and players performing.

“Enchantress was unstarted, meaning she had never been ridden,” said Grogan. “She has such a good nature that training her actually took a little longer. All of her training was learning new things. It’s obvious that she was bred to be a performer. Her build and mentality are great.”

Enchantress turned out to be a natural at competing. Less than three months after the start of training, Grogan and Enchantress competed in the Equine Comeback Challenge in March, a competition for horses that have never been ridden. Trainers have 90 days to work with the horse before the competition. Grogan and Enchantress placed fourth.

Most horses rehabbed at the ranch sell for about $1,000, with proceeds going back into the nonprofit to help future horses.

Because of Enchantress’ versatility, athleticism and temperament, she could eventually sell for close to $10,000, according to Erich Kirshner, board member and an original founder of Drifter’s Hearts of Hope.

“When we got Enchantress from the kill pen she was so sick we didn’t know if she’d make it,” said Kirshner.

“With lots of love, vet care and some expert training from Ben, she’s now become an amazing horse.”

While Enchantress will be missed by everyone at the ranch, Grogan hopes she will be sold to someone who will allow her to live up to her full potential.

“I’d like to see her go to someone who would compete with her,” Grogan said. “She’s bred for it.”

Horse trainer Ben Grogan rides rescue horse Enchantress in the Equine Come Back Challenge March 8. Enchantress was rescued from the kill pen at a local auction. She and Grogan placed fourth in the competition.

FRIDAY, MAY 18 | 10 AM & 8 PM For a new, six-part PBS/Nat Geo International series, cinematographer Bob Poole is drawing on his childhood in East Africa to document the rebirth of a lost Eden: Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, a jewel of Africa’s parks system until civil war almost destroyed it. He’ll share secrets of filming lions, crocs, elephants, and spectacular scenery, and tell how he cracked the “Gorongosa code”—learning to read the landscape and find prime locations for filming the park’s spectacular wildlife.

the home where the fire likely began.

In response, the town said it will be inspecting more than 5,300 similar devices installed throughout town since 2015 “in an abundance of caution.”

Town officials do not believe the water devices are a safety concern, the news release said, also stating Castle Rock has used such devices for 20 years with no incident. Homeowners will be notified if a device on their property was inspected.

Residents are being encouraged to move flammable materials, including juniper shrubs and fitzer bushes, away from their homes and to keep areas around utility hookups clear.

Residents with questions about flammable vegetation may contact Castle Rock Fire and Rescue at 303-660-1066.

Anyone with questions regarding the devices can visit CRgov.com/CRWaterCares or call Castle Rock Water Customer Service at 720-733-6000.

BUSINESS

Castle Rock announced May 1 it will begin inspecting more than 5,300 home utility devices following an April fire in The Meadows.

The cause of the April 17 fire remains unknown, the town said, but the blaze damaged several houses along North Foxtrail Drive in Castle Rock and completely destroyed two homes. No injuries to people were reported, but two dogs died.

Investigators believe the fire started on the south side of one house and quickly spread with strong winds and dry conditions affecting the area. Highly flammable vegetation also helped fuel the fire, a town news release said.

Investigators determined a Castle Rock Water battery-powered remote reading device, a gas meter and a juniper shrub were located on the side of

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

The only way we can stop it is by changing the soundtrack that is playing in our head. And life can be the same way too, can’t it?

There are days, weeks, months or longer where we get stuck listening to our own talk track in our heads. Now when it’s a good and positive talk track, something that we play over and over again as we focus in on the pursuit of our goals and dreams.

There is so much evidence around the power of positive selftalk or listening to positive and motivational material or reading books, blogs and articles that give us great advice and powerful direction, that I highly encourage you to give it a shot if you haven’t tried it yet.

The other side of that and the problem is that sometimes we get so caught up in our own negative self-talk, that we get focused on all of the things that are going wrong in our lives. That soundtrack keeps playing and unless we change the soundtrack, that will completely derail us from where we are trying to go.

And what’s worse is when someone else is singing that negative tune for us, whispering words of discouragement into our ears, and sharing thoughts of their own failures. They try and guard us from their own worries, fears, and doubts.

And now their soundtrack is stuck playing in our head instead of our own positive soundtrack.

It is stuck there unless we change the soundtrack.

What is it you are trying to do?

Where is it you want to be? What are things that you want to have in this life?

The only way to achieve each one is to erase and block the source of the bad and negative information we are allowing to influence the way we see ourselves, how we behave, and our attitude towards life.

Zig Ziglar said it this way, “If you don’t like who you are, where you are, or what you are, you can change who you are, where you are, and what you are by changing what goes into your mind.”

This is consistent with the other awesome saying, “You put the good stuff in, you get the good stuff out.”

So how about you? Is there a song stuck in your head? Is it a good one, a great one that has you motivated and excited? Or is there a negative talk track going on and you need to change the soundtrack? Either way I look forward to hearing your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can learn to put the “good stuff in,” it really will be a better than good week.

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

Approbation means a lot. Even in small amounts.

Being commended for cleaning your room is a start.

I won an art award when I was in seventh grade. I didn’t know what to think. I wished it had been a sports award. There was a time when boys were not encouraged in the arts.

Now and then, you might read about a phenomenal pre-teen painter, but I’d be suspicious.

An 8-year-old hasn’t lived life (exceptions: Mozart, Picasso, Shirley Temple, “He’ll Eat Anything” Mikey). Art depends upon life experiences just as much as skill and creativity.

In summary, if we have paid for the lane expansion through our taxes, the lanes should be general purpose lanes.

“The national average cost of a wedding day in 2016 shot up to $35,329,” according to a survey in The Knot. But not for me.

I went to my last wedding 20 years ago.

There was a tower of icing, there was a garter toss, there was a lower back tattoo on the bride.

Relatives who didn’t get along came to town from all over the country, and bickered.

Gifts that had been foregone in a presumptuous register were stacked.

And 18 months later, he was seeing someone else when he said he was “going to the office.”

Do me a favor. Read me while you are sitting down and sitting still.

SPORTS SLIPPING IN

Growing up around baseball gave players solid footing in game

F

Castle View’s Hunter Strickler dives back into first base under the tag of Chaparral’s Zach Munn in the first inning of the May 5 Continental League baseball game played at Chaparral’s Eaton Field. Strickler led off the game with a single but it was the only hit for the Sabercats, who dropped a 4-0 decision to the Wolverines.

Extra base hits out of the 28 for Mountain Vista’s Drew Stahl, who won the Continental League’s regular season batting title with a .491 average

Straight wins to end the regular season for defending 4A state champion Valor Christian baseball team.

Points compiled by the Mountain Vista girls in winning the Cherry Creek Invitational track meet on May 5.

Chaparral pitchers combined for a 1-hit, 4-0 baseball shutout over Castle View on May 5.

4

Hits for ThunderRidge senior Jake Haze in the 9-1 baseball victory over Legend on May 5.

Standout Performers Jenna Chun, Highlands Ranch The senior fired a 2-over-par 72 to take medalist honors April 30 at the Continental League golf tournament at Pinehurst Country Club.

Jake Greiving, Legend The junior belted two homers, scored three times and had four RBI in a 11-5 baseball triumph over Brighton on May 4.

Cole Spout, Valor Christian The sophomore set a Colorado allclassification record in winning the 3,200-meter run in 9:01.53 May 4 at the Jeffco League track championships.

Justin Estes, Valor Christian The senior right-hander pitched two innings of hitless relief to earn the save in a 3-1 baseball victory Heritage on May 5.

Arianna Sanchez, Rock Canyon The freshman scored the game’s lone goal in a 1-0 girls soccer win over Chaparral on May 3.

Sarah O’Sullivan, Mountain Vista The sophomore captured the girls 1,600 race May 5 at the Cherry Creek Invitational track meet with a time of 5:13.15..

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are six athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list.

To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

or young athletes to succeed and advance in any sport, it takes athletic ability, desire and hard work.

Plus, the culture in which young athletes are brought up can have an impact on their chances to participate in a particular sport. Family connections and involvement in the sport gives young hopefuls a head start.

I used to read the sports sections of newspapers daily, cut OVERTIME out box scores and head outside to play games with a hard Gates rubber baseball or hit gamewinning shots on my aunt’s driveway that had a basketball hoop.

My biggest problem, however, was the lack of enough athletic skills to Jim Benton be a force in the Denver Prep League.

That wasn’t the case for David Bote or Pierce Johnson, two former Faith Christian baseball players, who have made it to the big leagues.

Both players grew up around baseball.

Bote is now in the Chicago Cubs organization and Johnson is a middle reliever for the San Francisco Giants.

He is the son of longtime baseball mentor Bob Bote who has coached at Niwot, Erie, Faith Christian and Littleton and is now the head coach at Standley Lake.

Bob Bote won four Class 4A titles at Niwot and helped his son Danny guide Faith Christian to the 2011 title.

David Bote tagged along with his dad and brother Danny to Niwot practices and games.

He played for his brother and his dad during Faith Christian’s 2011 title season.

“Without a doubt your background helps,” said Bob Bote. “All my boys were always at the ballpark. They were hitting with the big boys and playing catch with the big boys. You could see the talent level rise.”

Pierce’s father Don Johnson was vice president of marketing for the San Diego Padres from 1992-1998 and it has been said that Pierce found his love for game in San Diego when he wasn’t roller blading down the ramps of Jack Murphy Stadium.

“Giants manager Bruce Bochy was actually the manager of the Padres then and he knew Pierce when he was 5 years old,” said Don Johnson.

David Bote, 25, was drafted by the Cubs in 2012 after a banner season at Neosho Community College (Kansas). He spent six years in the minors but finally made his major league debut on April 21 at Coors Field against the team he used to watch while growing up.

Cherry Creek, which has won 34 state titles, is the defending 5A state champion. The Bruins have captured 102 state titles in the individual events.

Cheyenne Mountain, a 22-time state champion, won the 2017 4A state championship and all three days of the 4A tournament will begin at 9 a.m. at the Pueblo City Park courts, located at 3455 Nuckolls Ave., Pueblo.

All three days of the 3A tournament will start at 9 a.m. at Centennial Park and the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. D’Evelyn is the defending champion.

Players from South Metro teams that advanced out of regional qualifying tournaments to play in the state tennis tournaments.

BENTON FROM PAGE 25

He doubled on his first at-bat in the major leagues in the Cubs’ 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

“It was very exciting,” said Bob Bote. “It was like a dream come true. We had no clue he was going to be called up. We didn’t have to go anyplace. We had 32 members of the family watching.”

David Bote, who played on the 2011 Faith Christian state champion team, was optioned to Iowa on April 28.

Johnson, 27, was a 2009 Faith Christian graduate and turned down signing with Tampa Bay to play at Missouri State. He was a first round draft pick of the Cubs in 2012. He made his major league debut with the Cubs on May 19, 2017 against Milwaukee with a one-inning stint that was actually delayed for nearly two hours because of rain.

On Sept. 20, 2017 he was claimed off waivers by Giants and has compiled a 1-1 record with a 2.40 earned run average in 19 innings pitched this season for San Francisco.

Johnson, like David Bote, is anxious for the chance to play against the Rockies.

“He looks forward to that,” said Don Johnson. “He’s followed the Rockies and Padres for years. It will be a challenge. The Rockies have such an All-Star lineup.”

C Turnover at Golden Golden has hired Lou t Vullo as its new head boys t basketball coach and named t Rex Terry as the head girls basketball mentor as the overhaul of the basketball programs is finished.

John Anderson resigned as Golden’s boys coach in December. Erik Buehler took over as interim coach and led the Demons to a 21-4 record.

Tim Hammond stepped down as girls coach, also in December, and Mike Osborne took n over to help the 2017-18 team m notch a 21-5 record.

Vullo is the former coach atI The Pinnacle, where in nine w seasons he compiled a 146-64 record.

Terry was the boys basketball coach at Sheridan where his teams were 30-38 in three seasons. He was previously the head girls coach at Alameda.

Responsible growth emphasized Laydon’s vision is to deliver fiscal accountability, manage growth and improve infrastructure and transportation as a county commissioner.

“Responsible growth is a big one,” he said. “The number one thing that people tell me about is they’re concerned with growth and development in Douglas County.”

The Franktown deal is a prime example that he won’t rubber-stamp development proposals in the county, Laydon said.

“He is, I think, very sensitive to the testimony of the citizens that we hear,” said fellow planning commissioner Clarence Hughes. “But he also understands the property owners’ right as well. I think he does an excellent job of balancing.”

Laydon earned his support for commissioner because of the way he interacts with residents, Hughes said.

His land use experience “is just a critical piece of being an effective county commissioner.”

Laydon said he’s not anti-develop-

an elementary school day,” Aubuchon said. “In addition, by providing fullday kindergarten, we have the added benefit of helping parents who now have full-day child care and are able to work while their young children are in school.”

When it comes to academics, the question is if those full-day students are better prepared for first grade.

Stephenson says they are — at first.

“We see that our full-day students — speaking in generality — have a little bit of a boost, but that tends to level out around second grade,” Stephenson said.

“It’s not a long-lasting advantage.”

However, Matt Flores, chief academic officer for Jeffco schools, says the data is not definitive.

“It’s really hard to unpack the differences because we can’t account for what students do in the other half of the day,” Flores said.

“It’s tempting to say they are more prepared. But to truly unpack that with data to support that theory is something our data team hasn’t been able to do.”

ment, noting some of his clients are developers whom he respects, but he’s still concerned with high-density proposals. He’s voted against other developments he said were too dense and didn’t provide ample infrastructure or could have strained water resources.

“I’m the only candidate in the race with land-use experience,” he said.

“So, if the concerns with people in Douglas County are growth and overdevelopment, you really have to have somebody in that position with land-use experience.”

Laydon said he entered the race with humble expectations. His only goal going into the county assembly was to secure enough delegate votes to make the primary ballot. Then he earned nearly half.

“Thrilled,” he said. “Oh, my goodness, I was so excited.”

During the county Republicans’ April 9 vacancy committee meeting held to replace David Weaver as a county commissioner, Laydon congratulated Holbert, who won the interim position. His focus moving forward, he said following the vote, would be winning the June 26 primary.

“I believe,” he said, “as a county commissioner you have an opportunity to truly serve the people of this county.”

To hug a hunter or angler is the very least we should do

L

ike them or dislike them, you still have to agree TV commercials have become very creative, humorous, maybe even distasteful and controversial. But they do get our attention. Many of us wait with anticipation the week or two prior to the Super Bowl wondering what new commercial creations we will see on Super Sunday? If you fish or hunt you have to like the commercial where the hunter in blaze orange or the angler in chest waders (who generate the outdoors income through their license fees) is getting a big “hug” from the person enjoying Colorado’s outdoors.

So what do you say is all this affection about? It’s about dollars. Hunting and fishing license revenue and related outdoors activities income are the sole source of funds to support the expenses of the fishing and hunting operations on the wildlife side of the state parks and wildlife agency. The concern is the fact there has not been frequent enough fee

increases to keep pace with inflation or growth in population utilizing Colorado’s outdoors amenities. The results are underfunded fish and OUTDOOR wildlife programs, LIVING where operating expenses and major capital improvements needs are growing faster than the revenue to support them.

As a practical matter, licenses fees are very moderately priced, too low to cover growing costs.

Ron Hellbusch One resident elk license, for example, is no greater than the cost of a tank of gas for CPW staffer.

As a comparison, more pricey Bronco game day costs equal or exceed two years fishing in Colorado. A movie ticket and dinner evening out costs more than a resident Colorado deer license.

Let’s look more closely at just what

we are asking our fishing and hunting licenses dollars to support in terms of wildlife and habitat costs. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Maintain 19 fish hatcheries and annually stock 90 million cold water and warm water species; Wildlife staff support over 960 species of game and non-game birds and mammals; manage 28 small game hunting species and 10 big game species; oversee the nation’s largest elk herd of 264,000 animals and must make sure these herds have adequate habitat and a healthy environment.

Hunting licenses have not been adjusted since 2006. Inflation alone has significantly limited growth in income to support fish and wildlife. When looking at all sources of income 62 percent comes from hunting and fishing license fees; 16 percent from Pittman-Robertson federal excise tax on hunting and fishing equipment specifically set aside for state fish and wildlife agencies; 12 percent from park and recreation

related COGO funds, 4 percent grants and 4 percent personal and corporate donations and sales.

When business expenditures surpass income, when you have a growing population demanding these services, it becomes impossible to maintain even “current” level programs. Even after you are forced to cut 50 positions and reduce budgets by $40m (as DPW has done in the last 6 years) the business condition becomes critical. Yet that is what our fish and wildlife agency has lived with and continues to face each year.

Colorado has one of the most sought after fish and wildlife environments in the nation, yet it has one of the most understaffed and underfunded agencies attempting to provide the outdoors experience for its citizens. It is time for that to change. Colorado can do better!
