MY NAME IS

JOSH MUSGRAVE

Castle Rock pastor starts new church in Founders Village About me My wife, Priscilla, and I both grew up in Colorado. We met on our first day of kindergarten in 1987. We started dating our junior year of high school and were married right after we graduated from college in 2004. In 2006, I became the youth pastor of my home church, Highlands Baptist Church. We moved to Castle Rock in November of 2008 to pastor the struggling congregation at Harvest Baptist Church. As the church began to grow, we found so many broken and hurting people in our community. Because of this I began pursuing a master’s degree in biblical counseling from The Master’s University in Santa Clarita California. Over the years, God blessed us with four girls, Karis, 11, Talitha, 9, Natalie, 8, and Brooke, 6.

Starting a church Crossway Bible Church was born out of Harvest Baptist Church on April 8. In 2017, Harvest sold the building on Gilbert Street.

The sale of the building has given us the financial freedom to invest in reaching out to our community. We moved out of our building and re-planted as Crossway Bible Church in the Founders Village Ridge House.

We meet every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Our vision is to make Christ non-ignorable in our heart, home and neighborhood. Our mission is to glorify God by igniting a passion

for Jesus in all people. We are committed to worshiping God passionately, connecting with one another authentically, growing to know God deeply and to go show and tell the gospel boldly. As our church begins this new adventure we are studying the book of Titus.

The experience It has been a long but rewarding path. When we came to the church in 2008, things were very difficult. There were many struggles. I thank the Lord often for the church’s patience as I grew and learned. I have a developed a passion for discipling families to worship, love and serve God in the church and in our community. We have developed many close relationships around our kitchen table as we counsel, disciple and fellowship with the visitors and members of our church. Watching these men and women struggle, grow and thrive as gospel witnesses has been extremely rewarding.

Camping close to home Our family enjoys camping, hiking and generally spending time in the Colorado Mountains. Our favorite place to go is just outside of Castle Rock in Rampart Range. We have two Australian Shepherds that we bring along with us named Roxy and Tahoe. In my free time I enjoy working on and riding dirt bikes.

My mantra “So, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him (2Cor 5:9).”

Commissioner says defeated colleague should step down Diane Holbert, who lost in the primary, says she’ll stay in office through term’s end in January

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Abe Laydon landed a victory, but attention quickly shifted to the future of the opponent he defeated in the Republican primary for the District 1 Douglas County commissioner seat.

Commissioner Lora Thomas says Diane Holbert should step down now and allow the Douglas County Republican Party’s vacancy committee to appoint Laydon in her place.

“I believe that he should be able to step in after the board of canvass meets after July 18,” Thomas said, the date election results are officially verified.

Holbert, county treasurer at the time, was appointed in April to an interim position on the three-member board of commissioners after David Weaver vacated the District 1 seat to accept a presidential appointment as the U.S. marshal for Colorado.

Holbert’s appointment runs through January, when Weaver’s term was set to end, and the next

commissioner is sworn in.

Thomas said it is not efficient to continue training an interim commissioner who will soon leave office, and that the voters had spoken.

“I’m just going to say that I hope Diane does the right thing for the citizens of Douglas County,” Thomas said.

On Election Night, Holbert called the idea of resigning “wholly inappropriate” and said doing so before the general election would “disenfranchise the voters of Douglas County.”

The day after, Holbert clarified she intended to stay in office through January.

“I was elected to fulfill the rest of Commissioner Weaver’s term,” she said. “I respect the will of the voters and there’s still an election to take place.”

A county spokeswoman said there is no policy stipulating what Holbert must do, and the decision is hers.

Laydon, an attorney from Lone Tree, won the June 26 primary with

More than 39,300 ballots were cast in the 2016 primary, but this year, approximately 70,260 ballots poured in during the Douglas County primary election. The county attributed the stark jump to a population increase but also to unaffiliated voters, who could participate in a Colorado primary for the first time. nearly 54 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. Laydon must still face off with Democrat Mary Lynch in the November general election. Lynch was uncontested in the primary.

Laydon, in response to Thomas’ position, said it is more efficient to train one person for the job rather than two, “from the taxpayer’s perspective.” He also said he’d support Holbert’s choice to stay in office.

“Ms. Holbert was chosen to fill the short-term vacancy by Dave Weaver,” he said. “I respect that process. I support the Republican Party of which I’m a member and I will honor whichever choice Ms. Holbert makes going forward.”

As for the months ahead, Thomas and Holbert said they would be able to put their differences aside and continue working together on the board.

“Governance is foremost in my mind,” Holbert said. “Serving the people of Douglas County comes first.”

ABOUT ABE LAYDON Abe Laydon, who won the Republican primary for District 1 Douglas County commissioner, has worked for 15 years as a land-use and business attorney and is a senior partner at Coan, Payton & Payne, LLC. Laydon is in his second term as a Douglas County planning commissioner and has held positions within the Douglas County Republican Party. He lives in Lone Tree with his wife and three children and is a 14-year Douglas County resident.

Laydon’s primary win served as as a comeback from two losses ahead of the election.

Though both qualified for the primary ballot, Diane Holbert received more votes from delegates than Laydon did at the Republican county assembly in March. Then in April, Holbert secured 148 of the 271 vacancy committee votes, compared to Laydon’s 123, and was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board of commissioners through January.

Laydon said following the vacancy committee meeting his focus would be on a primary win. During a watch party held at his home on June 26, Laydon thanked voters for supporting him.

“Rest assured I’m not going to spend any time congratulating myself,” he said.

“I”m ready to roll up my sleeves.”

Healing Garden blossoms as peaceful space Castle Rock Adventist Hospital offers outdoor sanctuary for patients

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock Adventist Hospital in December debuted its new Healing Garden but didn’t celebrate the grand opening until June, when the garden reached full bloom and was breathing new life into a space between the campus’ Briscoe and Alexander buildings.

The garden features grassy lawns, ample bench and picnic seating, a children’s playground and freshly planted trees, shrubs and flowers. Sprinkled throughout the grounds are works of public art, such as fountains and sculptures.

Valerie Ross, the chief development officer of the Castle Rock Adventist Hospital Foundation, said upon the garden’s opening last year that the hospital would plant 60 trees as part of the project and keep the landscaping low-maintenance, and low in water consumption.

The garden is meant to provide patients, visitors and employees at the hospital with an outdoor sanctuary where they can escape the pressures of hospital life.

The Healing Garden provides a space for children to play and relax.

Primary shows signs of push by Democrats Causes include unaffiliated voters tilting left, Trump energizing Dems, pundits say

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Is a 134,000-vote advantage enough for a “blue wave”?

That’s how much the Democratic votes outpaced the Republicans in the race for governor in the June 26 primary election, according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. And in the first primary in Colorado history to allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots, they leaned heavily for the Democratic candidates.

It happened in a race with no shortage of polarization — Republican Walker Stapleton and Democrat Jared Polis ran away with their parties’ governor races, Polis winning by nearly 20 percentage points and Stapleton by about 18. With Stapleton touting his support for President Donald Trump and Polis pushing for a 100 percent green-energy state by 2040, the pair focused their appeal more toward the fringe rather than moderate voters.

Only able to choose one party’s ballot by law, unaffiliated voters turned in more Democratic ballots than Republican ballots by about 25 percentage points — about a 3-to-2 ratio — based

on numbers June 27 from the secretary of state.

Democrats also outnumbered Republicans among affiliated voters who participated, showing an advantage of about 6 percentage points.

“I think those two things show us a Democratic intensity right now,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party.

Asked whether the Democrats’ advantage is due to reactions to President Donald Trump or Polis to state issues, Wadhams said, “I think it goes almost totally to opposition to President Trump within the Democratic Party.”

‘Cause for concern’ In the overall ballot count, unaffiliated voters Stapleton chose the Democrat ballot over the Republican by about 65,000 — 162,700 to 97,500 — as of mid-afternoon June 27.

Registered Democrats also outpaced registered Republicans by about 53,700 ballots as of that time.

“I just have this feeling that behind some of this increase in numbers might be blowback from the irritation with the constant flow of rhetoric” from Trump, said John Straayer, for-

WHAT THEY’VE RAISED Fundraising totals for candidates for three statewide offices based on data from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office in late June: Governor • *Jared Polis, Democrat: $11.5 million • Walker Stapleton, Republican: $2.1 million *Polis has largely self-funded his campaign.

Attorney general • Phil Weiser, Democrat: $1.4 million • George Brauchler, Republican: $360,000 Treasurer • Brian Watson, Republican: $300,000 • Dave Young, Democrat: $100,000 mer professor of political science at Colorado State University.

From immigration issues to the constant “Tweetstorm” bashing various targets, Trump may be sparking opposition that “may be lighting a fire under folks saying ‘I’ve had enough,’” Straayer said.

In some state Senate and state House races, there appears to be a “significant leap” in Democratic votes, with a marginal increase in Republican votes, compared to in 2014, Straayer

said.

“How that’ll wash out in the fall, I don’t know, but looking at these numbers, if I were a Republican strategist, I’d be worried,” Straayer said.

Some of the disparity in the votes for governor could be due to the Democrats having a more interesting race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

And parties out of power “tend to have more momentum,” Sondermann said. “It doesn’t determine what’ll happen in November, but I’d rather be holding the Democratic cards than the Republican cards right now.

“It has to be cause for concern,” he added.

Unaffiliated voters gained the ability to vote in primaries after the passage of Proposition 108 in 2016. They made a sizable showing, but their influence may have only tipped close races — like attorney general for Democrats, or treasurer for Republicans, but not the governor’s race — Sondermann said. It’s difficult to know if unaffiliated voters voted differently from those registered with a party on the respective ballots because of a lack of exit polling, Sondermann said.

District attorney dismisses case against chalk protester

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has filed a motion to dismiss the case against a Castle Pines woman charged with drawing in chalk outside U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s Castle Rock office in protest of the President Trump’s familyseparation policy.

“The District Attorney’s Office has reviewed the case submitted against Shauna Lynn Johnson,” the office tweeted June 28, “and determined that justice would be a dismissal.”

A spokeswoman said the district would let the motion speak for itself when asked for comment. Dated June 27 and signed by District Attorney

George Brauchler, the motion also cancels future court hearings. Johnson was scheduled to appear on Aug. 19.

Johnson made headlines after she was charged with second-degree criminal tampering on June 6 by a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputy for writing “Stop putting kids in cages” in chalk outside Buck’s office.

Building management called the sheriff ’s office after discovering the chalk message. The building manager and owner, Jeff Drabing, declined to comment on the case.

Johnson and her two children, one carrying a bag of chalk, were leaving a meeting with the congressman’s staff to discuss the immigration

policy of separating children from their families at the border when she left the note.

The charges are a class 2 misdemeanor, which could result in a $1,000 fine and three to 12 months in jail.

If a judge approves the district attorney’s motion, Johnson’s case will be dismissed, her charges dropped, and court dates canceled, the district attorney’s spokeswoman confirmed. She could not say when a judge would issue an order.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado had announced June 25 it would defend Johnson in court, calling the charges “overly zealous” in a news release.

“We are pleased with the

decision of the prosecution to dismiss the ‘criminal tampering’ charge against Shauna Johnson, and we agree that it is a just result,” ACLU of Colorado Legal Director Mark Silverstein said in a statement.

“Shauna Johnson is a concerned constituent who simply wanted to communicate a message of dissent to Representative Buck against the cruel immigration policies of the Trump Administration.”

Silverstein said Johnson meant no harm and did no damage.

“She should never have been charged in the first place,” Silverstein said.

Johnson stated in the ACLU’s June 25 announcement, “It never occurred to me that I

was doing anything wrong as I wasn’t damaging any property or blocking any doors.”

She further called the immigration policy “a moral outrage,” and said, “I wanted to express that outrage.”

Buck’s office had declined to comment on earlier reports of Johnson’s charges. A spokesman said the office had no comment on the latest development in Johnson’s case.

“While my family is elated that, with the help of our superheroes at ACLU of Colorado, I will not be prosecuted, there are still thousands of babies, toddlers and young children who haven’t seen their mom or dad for weeks,” Johnson said in a statement reacting to the motion.

Attorney general race remains close STAFF REPORT

State Rep. Joe Salazar had not conceded the Democratic primary race for attorney general to lawyer Phil Weiser as of the afternoon of June 28, nearly two days after the polls closed.

“Every Coloradan deserves to have

Weiser

their voice heard in this election,” Salazar, of Thornton, said in a statement. “I’d like to thank Phil Weiser for also giving the time for every vote to be counted.

“I look forward to

Salazar

discussing the results of this election with him when they are final,” he added.

As of June 28, 5,177 votes separated Salazar from Weiser, according to unofficial results from

the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. The count stood at 50.4 for Weiser to Salazar’s 49.6.

The official number of votes in the election will be submitted to the secretary of state by July 18, following the counting of remaining ballots and a certification process.

School board to make decision on tax measure by late August Board members will consider results of poll, public feedback

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A recent poll of 400 residents in Douglas County revealed that more than half of respondents are favorable of the school district and believe that taxpayer money is handled wisely.

“The results would indicate that there is basis for the (school) board to continue the conversation about a potential election,” Scott Smith, acting chief financial officer, said at a June 19 school board meting in Castle Rock.

The Douglas County School Board is getting closer to making its final decision on whether it will place a tax measure on the ballot this November for additional funding.

Critical needs across the district are teacher retention, school programming and building repairs.

In late May, the board hired research firm Public Opinion Strategies to survey residents throughout the county of 346,000 people on their views of the school district and funding. The survey was conducted over landline and cell phones.

Results showed that the highest funding priorities for residents are academic standards; school safety; learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); career-based skills; and teacher pay. Between 70 percent and 75 percent of respondents ranked the categories listed above as “extremely or very important.”

When asked about a mill levy override, or MLO, to help fund increased salaries for teachers, mental health services and career-based learning opportunities, 66 percent of respondents were in support, 29 percent opposed and 5 percent were undecided. Respondents heard two MLO

amounts, 7.63 mills and 4.7 mills, but there was no significant difference in the responses, according to a report from the research firm.

A bond measure to address building repairs, programming and school safety garnered similar support. According to the research firm, 59 percent of respondents support a $392 million bond measure proposal and 56 percent support a $292 million dollar bond measure proposal.

In both scenarios, 37 percent of respondents said they would oppose a bond measure.

Respondents were also made aware of the financial impact of the tax measures. For the larger tax amounts, the average homeowner with a home value of $474,000 would see an impact of $297 per year and for the smaller tax amounts, the impact would be $166 per year. About 60 percent of respondents said they would approve either tax measure knowing the impacts, the firm’s report states.

The school board expects to make a decision on a tax measure at an Aug. 21 board meeting at the district’s administration building, 620 Wilcox Street in Castle Rock. In the meantime, board members will consider the results of the poll, along with public feedback.

Board member Wendy Vogel recommended that district staff, including the new permanent superintendent Thomas Tucker, who begins July 1, make a recommendation to the board prior to its final decision.

Although the district hasn’t been successful in passing tax measures in recent history —the community voted down a $200 million bond and $29 million MLO in 2011, and a $395 million bond and $17 million MLO in 2008 — school board President David Ray is optimistic about the polling results.

“I think overall we can say we got favorable results that indicate if we were to place an MLO and bond (on the ballot), that would be something our taxpayers would welcome,” he said.

care, K-12 school and other issues, Straayer said.

Wadhams said neither candidate can afford to keep appealing only to their bases. The candidate who can connect with voters on issues like transportation and education will win, he said.

“I think it’s up for grabs,” Wadhams added.

Polis, a wealthy businessman who founded several companies, had raised about $11.5 million in campaign funds as of June — compared to Stapleton’s $2.1 million — but Wadhams and Straayer said money won’t be a decider.

“I anticipate that Stapleton will be outspent by Polis (overall) but will still raise enough to be competitive,” Wadhams said. Straayer said the money between the candidates will likely even out as November approaches.

Polis would be the first openly gay man elected governor in the nation, and Straayer wondered if Republi-

Looking to November Primaries on both sides got “pretty ugly,” Straayer said. “And I expect the general election to be equally unattractive.”

It remains to be seen whether Polis, the U.S. congressman from Boulder, and Stapleton, current state treasurer, will pivot to more moderate voters, but Straayer outlined the battles the two are likely to fight.

Polis “has talked about free kindergarten and universal health care, so I suspect the Republicans will try to paint Polis as the guy who’s gonna rob your wallet,” Straayer said.

Stapleton and his party are “pretty much locked down” on a “hardcore fiscal conservative posture” that leaves little room for addressing concerns with funding for transportation, higher education, health

cans would raise that as an issue.

“It’s delicate to go after,” he said, adding it would have a “horrible boomerang effect” and would need to be “handled under the radar” if Republicans were to make Polis’ sexual orientation a point of contention.

Meanwhile, downballot ...

Phil Weiser, a former dean of the University of Colorado Law School and a former deputy assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice, pulled off an unexpected and tight win against state Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton — an avowed progressive — for the Democratic candidacy for attorney general.

His victory “speaks to the power of money and television,” Sondermann said. “No matter how much people talk grassroots, social media, ground game — money and TV still rule.”

Hickenlooper, may have a formidable fight ahead against 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, Wadhams said, adding that Colorado has been known to elect governors and attorneys general of opposing parties.

“These are two smart guys,” he said. “I think (Brauchler) is one of the best speakers and debaters in the Republican Party and in the state.” He was the lead prosecutor in the Aurora theater-shooting case.

For state treasurer, Democratic state Rep. Dave Young, and Republican real-estate CEO Brian Watson, managed the win — Young decisively, Watson thinly — in a race that will carry on with low name recognition.

But, Wadhams said, every treasurer in Colorado for about four decades has either ran for, or been elected to, higher office.

Treasurer may be an “obscure office,” he said, but it may be one to watch for future ambition.

Have children or parents who have been separated been taken to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Aurora, or anywhere else in Colorado?

What is the process for reunifying the children who have been separated from parents?

A federal judge in California has just issued an order that families be reunited within 30 days and that children under 5 be back with their parents within 14 days. When I was in El Paso, Texas, the Department of Human Services, which is responsible for caring for the separated children, assured me that they know where all of the children and their respective parents are currently located.

However, I’m still not confident that they have a process in place to reunite these families on a timely basis since they have moved the youngest children, who require child-care providers, all over the U.S.

C ol

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman visited a facility near the U.S.-Mexico border that holds migrant minors on the heels of pushback to policy by President Donald Trump’s administration that resulted in children and families being separated at the border.

In recent weeks, separations occurred under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy, under which children have been held in separate facilities while parents awaited prosecution for having entered the country illegally.

The change began in April, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the policy to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible.

But President Donald Trump’s administration reversed course with a June 20 executive order that aims to detain and hold migrant families together, instead of separating children from their families during the process.

Coffman, R-Aurora, recently visited an unaccompanied-minor children (UAC) facility in Tornillo, Texas, with officials from the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a news release. He was also briefed by local leadership from both the U.S. Border Patrol and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations regarding CBP’s operations.

Coffman represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and parts of Adams County, among other areas.

A few days after his trip, he answered some questions about the experience on June 27.

What were you most surprised at seeing at the facility you visited?

I was alarmed that there is an alphabet soup of federal agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the Department of Human Services in charge of various phases of the process from detaining, separating and caring for these children. I’m deeply concerned that it will be difficult for this fragmented bureaucracy to effectively reunite these families in a timely manner. That’s why I’m advocating for a single individual, preferably a Marine Corps general, to take charge of pushing these agencies to work together to get these children back with their parents.

To prepare for this year’s hunting season, resident Mark Taylor plans on using a new 3D archery range equipped with realistic, animal-like targets in the Backcountry Wilderness Area.

“I’m pretty new to archery but I got into it because my son was interested and a good friend bought a bow about the same time with the intent to hunt,” said Taylor, who has lived in Highlands Ranch for 15 years. “I hunted back east when I was younger but never with a bow.”

The Backcountry Wilderness Area is 8,200 acres of land that borders the southern edge of Highlands Ranch and spans south toward Castle Rock.

It’s home to 20 miles of natural surface trails, vegetation and wildlife.

Owned and maintained by the Highlands Ranch Community Association, the land is used throughout the summer for recreation programs, events and camps.

A unique activity offered in the Backcountry is archery, the sport of shooting arrows at a target. Benefits

Bob Keller visits the 3D range for his fourth time in one week. The Castle Rock resident is excited about the new activity in the Backcountry Wilderness Area, he said, because it will help prepare him for hunting season.

PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND of the sport include increased upper body strength, balance, focus and coordination.

One archery range, located at 11950 S. Monarch Blvd., about two miles south of Rock Canyon High School on Monarch Boulevard, offers targets at 10-yard increments from 10 to 60 yards. Another range, at the Backcountry’s Basecamp, 6005 Ron King Trail, east of Sante Fe Drive, is used for lessons and summer camps.

Now open for use is a 3D archery range. Popular among hunters, the form of archery uses life-size models of game as targets.

West of the Basecamp, the 3D range is a one-mile loop through grasslands and shrubs with 28 separate shooting stations. Challenging shots at realistic targets including elk, deer, bears, goats, sheep and other predators are set at a variety of distances from 10 to 80 yards.

“The 3D range was added because 3D archery is the fastest-growing segment of archery and there are very few ranges along the Front

Range,” said Mark Giebel, director of the Backcountry Wilderness Area, adding that the new range can serve more people and hold lessons at the same time.

Kevin Lewis, owner of Quick Draw Archery, 12339 Mead Way, and his team will be teaching private lessons, along with weekly and monthly classes.

Lewis was introduced to archery when his daughter, a Girl Scout at the time, tried the sport. On top of the physical and mental benefits of promoting body awareness, balance and focus, archery is a good sport for families, Lewis said.

He looks forward to testing out the new range.

“I think it adds an excellent variety of shooting opportunities,” said Lewis, a Highlands Ranch resident.

“It’s convenient, it’s clean, it’s well put together. I think it’s a great addition to the area.”

School district pays $2.2M to settle suit by parent of sex-assault victim Lawsuit argued the district failed to handle reports of predatory behavior by a teacher

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District paid $2.2 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed in 2014 by the parents of a sexual-assault victim, a copy of the agreement released to Colorado Community Media shows.

The parents filed a lawsuit against the school district, former Rocky Heights Middle School principal Patricia Dierberger and former RHMS assistant principal James McMurphy for allegedly ignoring reports of predatory behavior toward the victim by a former teacher. Richard Johnson is now serving a 20-year prison sentence for two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

The suit states parents and students made reports of disturbing interactions between the then eighth-grade student and Johnson several times during the 2010-11 academic year and the following summer.

The filing describes “specific, detailed and repeated reports” given to Dierberger, McMurphy and at least one other administrator, “including pleas by some parents to investigate Mr. Johnson’s behavior with (the victim).”

Dierberger and McMurphy later admitted to a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office detective they did not conduct an investigation.

Johnson left the Douglas County School District in March 2012 after

serving as both an eighth-grade teacher at Rocky Heights Middle and as a basketball coach at Rock Canyon High.

He was arrested in connection with the sexual assaults in November 2012, after the victim and her parents reported him to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

The federal lawsuit filed by the parents of the victim alleged the former administrators and others did not follow mandatory reporting obligations outlined by the state, and failed to protect the then 13-year-old victim. It also alleged that prior to August 2012, DCSD failed to instruct and train its employees in the proper way to handle reports of sexual misconduct.

The school district signed the confidential settlement agreement on May 23, 2016. According to the Denver Post, Wendy Jacobs, the incoming acting general counsel for the school district, says the settlement was covered by the district’s insurance policy and the district only had to pay the deductible.

As part of the settlement, the victim, her parents and their lawyers agreed to keep the terms of the agreement confidential. There is no language in the settlement that requires the school district to keep the information confidential. Upon request, a copy of the agreement was provided to Colorado Community Media by email from a spokeswoman at the district.

In the settlement agreement, the school district did not admit any wrongdoing. “In addition, the Defendants specifically deny all allegations made about them in the Lawsuit,” the settlement says.

If asked about the settlement or confidentiality agreement, the parents and their lawyers are required to say, “This matter has been resolved.”

VOICES Awash in beauty and wonder — that’s just how we roll

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

J

ennifer, Harry, and I went on a road trip.

Don’t yawn. Yet. We looped from Littleton to Salida to Monte Vista to Durango to Mesa Verde to Telluride to Gunnison to Littleton, and stopped along the way in the 1940s, the 1950s, and the 1960s.

Road trips were common in the 1950s. Thank or blame President Eisenhower and his authorization of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, although he didn’t do it for fathers, mothers,

their kids, or Stuckey’s, but that’s how it turned out. It was during the Cold War, and Eisenhower thought large cities would be military targets. An interstate highway system would “facilitate their evacuation and ease military maneuvers” (Wikipedia).

Stop yawning. This is meaningful, if you care about traveling without going through security checkpoints and being told to take off your shoes.

I have a few tips: Go with someone you love (as I did), or

don’t go. It’s hour after hour, and no amount of beautiful scenery — and that’s what Colorado amounts to — will make it bearable if you have someone in the car who is listless, lifeless, disengaging, or is a sign reader.

Don’t try the road trip we took in an automobile that isn’t fit. The roads themselves wind and climb, and the drivers, many of them, think it’s a Japanese touge race, especially guys in Dodge Rams.

I said we saw the 1940s. For that, try Saguache. For the 1950s,

try Ridgway. For the 1960s, try Gunnison.

The highlight of the trip, and one of the highlights of my lifetime, was Mesa Verde.

The day started in Durango, where we dropped off Harry at a daycare, and then ate breakfast at Durango Diner on Main Avenue.

The manager, an endearing character named Gary, had been invited to appear on “Chopped,” but declined.

For me, tedious projects, negative people, drama and administrative tasks all sap my energy.

I am just not a detail-oriented guy; pessimism and negativity have no place in my life; people who bring drama and problems that they really don’t want solved take way too much time and energy; and paperwork like reports, expenses and filling out forms are energy-killers for sure.

Now let’s talk about what gets me fired up and recharged. Hope, creativity, positive people, teamwork, family time, reading, church, speaking, training, coaching and watching other people grow.

Being a difference maker in someone’s life is one of the things that really gets me re-energized and ready to go and ready to grow myself.

So, when I am feeling low energy

It’s like looking down at my phone and I see that I only have 7 percent battery life left, and then all I need to do is plug into one of the things that motivates me and re-energizes me, and the next thing I know I am back up at 100 percent.

It seems to me that many of the people I speak with lately spend too much time or put too much focus on the things and people who drain them of their energy.

OBITUARIES ADKINS

Gloria Jeanne Ferguson Adkins November 29, 1929 - June 21, 2018

Gloria Jeanne Ferguson Adkins died Thursday, June 21, in Kona, HI. Mrs. Adkins was 88. She was born Nov. 29, 1929, in Buda, NE, the daughter of Lawrence T. and Rose I. Ferguson.

Her father was with the Union Pacific railroad and the family soon moved to North Platte, NE, where she would live the first part of her life, attending school there and graduating from North Platte High School in 1947. She was active in the First Baptist Church there for many years, leading the youth group with her husband. She was a Blue Bird/Campfire Girl and Cub Scout leader. She actively participated in North Platte Community Theater, including a stint as Hand-Car Hannah for the Nebraskaland Days celebrations.

Gloria married James Morris Adkins Sr. on Oct. 5, 1947, on his return from the Pacific theater where he served in the U.S. Navy. The couple lived in North Platte, where Jim was both circulation and advertising director of the Telegraph Bulletin. They also lived in Idaho, where he worked for HEACOCK

a newspaper chain prior to moving to Cozad, NE, where he worked as well prior to returning to North Platte. In 1971 the couple moved with their three youngest children to Parker, CO., living in both Castle Rock and Parker since that time, when they went into partnership to own and operate the Parker Press and the Douglas County News, Elbert County Press and Elbert County News and the Aurora/Southeast Suburban Press newspapers with Jerry Brock and daughter, Jeanne, who later joined the partnership.

All who knew Gloria were blessed by the beautiful voice God had bestowed on her. Winning state competitions in high school, she continued in her lifetime to use that gift in choirs, singing at events and nursing homes and singing karaoke. The evening before leaving for a Hawaiian Gospel

Donald A. Heacock 6/8/1964 - 6/20/2018

He is also survived by his father Max (Becky) Heacock, his brother David (Tami) Heacock, stepbrother, Todd (Melissa) Dutton, stepsister, Shannon Dvorak and

several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his Sister Darcie Heacock Anderson and his mother Mary Kay Pankaskie Heacock. Donald was remembered at a service held at Faith Lutheran Church and laid to rest at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle Rock.

Music cruise she was singing karaoke in Castle Rock with friends. The room would quiet as the music flowed through her and enveloped her audience. A highlight of her life was being selected to sing in the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, bestknown as the home of the Grand Ole Opry.

Besides her music, many residents in Nebraska and Douglas County, CO knew her through her weekly column – Coffee With Gloria – which she wrote for many years focused on her children, their lives and her expanding number of grandchildren. She was active in the Castle Rock Senior Center, an election judge and caucus participant and a member of the Denver First Church of the Nazarene, although she attended New Hope Presbyterian in Castle Rock.

RAEHAL FROM PAGE 12

So if you’re not a journalist and reading this, let me tell you what I’ve learned about them in the 15 years in the industry — either on the frontlines as a reporter, in management, or working at the Press Association.

We are not the enemy of the people.

Yes, we make mistakes. When we make mistakes — which is about the only job in the world where you cannot hide from them — we publicly correct them. And for most journalists, they rarely need to make corrections, because they’ve been trained in reporting, sourcing, best practices and ethics.

More importantly, we care. The coverage journalists provide is not for a paycheck or fame. We do our job — even in harm’s way — to keep our community informed; our forefathers knew that an

informed community is needed for our republic to survive. Beyond coverage, many newspapers volunteer time and money.

They. Are. Here. For. The. People.

They are the people.

If you’re a journalist or someone working at a news organization, I simply want to say thank you.

The very fabric of our country depends on what you do. An attack on a newspaper is an attack on our Republic and constitution.

I’m confident that while these are scary times, we will stand tall.

We need to look no further than the Capital Gazette in the wake of the tragedy, as reporter Chase Cook tweeted, “We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow.”

And they did.

We stand united with Capital Gazette, providing coverage in good and bad times, because it’s right for our communities and for our country.

Jerry Raehal is the CEO of the Colorado Press Association.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

The program’s coordinator couldn’t believe it. You will have to discover Gary’s reasoning for yourself. In 2018, when relentless self-promotion is everywhere, Gary is a soldier of originality.

My abilities as a writer are up against it when it comes to Mesa Verde. It was my fourth time, and Jennifer’s first.

It is a treasure, a place of contemplation, mystery and beauty. Inconceivably, Ancestral Pueblo people made it their home, living in precarious cliff dwellings, from AD 600 to 1300.

On December 18, 1888, a couple of men who were looking for lost cattle with a Ute guide discovered Cliff Palace. The rest of the park’s history is best reported elsewhere.

There are several dwelling tours. My favorite is Cliff Palace.

You have to schedule a tour, and you can’t schedule online. They don’t overbook, like Delta.

Each tour (55 people) is led by a

ranger. Matt led ours. He was eloquent and informed and respectful of the park and its significance.

He asked us to take a moment of silence, just look at the dwellings, and then volunteer a single word that came to mind.

Of course, some park visitors showed up in flip-flops and prom dresses, and took cellphone photos endlessly, without looking at what they were looking at.

The access and egress are almost incomprehensibly difficult. The steps are irregular and crumbing, spaces between boulders for passage are not passable if you are Hardy rather than Laurel, and the vertical exit ladder is something only a SEAL could love.

If you’re wondering, Harry had a great time. For some reason, he was particularly fond of the Dennis Weaver Memorial Park in Ridgway, primarily the trees.

SETTLEMENT FROM PAGE 7

year. The settlement is listed under “financial transparency” on the school district’s website.

The case is known as Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District.

The student, who is identified only as Endrew F. in court documents, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder a year after that, court documents say.

His autism affects his cognitive functioning, language and reading skills, and his social and adaptive abilities.

He attended Douglas County schools from preschool through fourth grade. During that time, he received special-education services, including Individualized Education Plans, also known as

IEPs. In 2010, Endrew F.’s parents pulled him out of Summit View Elementary in Highlands Ranch.

They argued he wasn’t provided the level of public education promised under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which guarantees a “free appropriate public education” to all students with disabilities.

They sought reimbursement from the school district for their child’s tuition and related expenses at Firefly.

In August 2015, the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the school district did provide a “a free appropriate public education.”

Nearly a year later, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled with the family’s side, a decision that would have ramifications for special needs students across the country.

In the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said that it is not enough for school districts to offer minimal instruction for special-needs children. The school programs must be “reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances.”

On Jan. 12, U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock ordered that the Douglas County School District reimburse the family of Endrew F. for costs associated with his private education.

The family and their lawyer had until March 5 to submit damages to district court. Costs would cover private school education, transportation to and from school, pre-judgment interest, attorney’s fees and litigation costs, according to the family’s lawyer.

The $1.32 million payment came out of the school district’s general fund, financial documents on the

district’s website say.

In light of the court case that garnered nationwide attention, new resources to help communities understand the Supreme Court’s decision have been released.

In December, the U.S. Department of Education published a detailed Q&A on the topic online at https://tinyurl.com/ycpu6gdd.

Earlier this year, the National Center for Learning Disabilities released an Endrew F. Advocacy Toolkit for parents. The downloadable toolkit, available at https:// tinyurl.com/yavt5qex, aims to help parents advocate for children with disabilities and improve IEP plans.

The school district did not release a statement on the settlement.

“At this time, we have nothing further to add,” spokeswoman Paula Hans said in an email.

Water World remains massive draw in metro Denver

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

here are about 97 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day this year, which means there’s a good chance residents are going to need to find ways to beat the heat several times as the summer goes on.

Luckily, most communities have the perfect way to stay cool — water features.

Whether it’s a splash pad and outdoor at places like Centennial, Littleton or Golden or massive water parks like Hyland Hills’ Water World in Federal Heights, there’s something for every age to enjoy and cool off.

“As we went through our master plan update process, we discovered how important water features are to our residents,” said Allison Scheck, public engagement and operations manager with Lakewood. “Not only do they provide release from the heat, but they can be affordable options for families to get together and play.”

Splash pads — water features in public places that don’t feature much standing water and include fountain sprayers and other active water features - can be found in popular city locations like Englewood’s civic center or Olde Town Arvada, but many communities are going above and beyond with their pads.

The Foothills Park and Recreation District, located in the southern region of Jefferson County, recently unveiled a newly renovated Clement Park Splash Park. The original water fountain at the location was built in 1987, so in its new form, it now includes Colorado elements such as boulders, water curtains, and a creek-like waterway, as well as new shelters that will be available for rental in order to accommodate birthday parties and gatherings.

Riders get some thrills at one of Water World’s rides named after a Colorado river.

CLARKE READER “The response from our community has been overwhelming, especially after two years of preparation,” said Ron Hopp, executive director of Foothills. “It’s a free option for people that gets them out enjoying the outdoors.”

Located in Centennial Center Park, the city of Centennial has an award-winning splash pad that, along with the rest of the park, is a state-wide draw, according to Allison Wittern, public information manager with the city. She said children from all over the metro area are bused in during the summer to splash around.

In addition to three ever-popular outdoor pools at three of its recreation centers, Lakewood also has the Ray Ross Splash Pad and Surfside Spray Park, the latter of which is the city’s newest water feature and has been growing in popularity every year.

“Whenever people discover Surfside, they can’t believe it,” Scheck said.

Of course, no article on aquatic entertainment would be complete without mentioning the state’s — and indeed, one of the country’s — largest water park, Water World.

Located on 64 acres and featuring more than 50 attractions, including the brand-new Glacier Run, the park has drawn in more than 15 million people in its 39 years of operation. And 2018 is

Children enjoy the award-winning water feature at Centennial Center Park. The quality of the feature has made it a state-wide draw. COURTESY PHOTO already off to a promising start, with its busiest June yet, according to Joann Cortez, communications director with the Hyland Hills district.

Picture yourself in an oil painting

A

s someone who has visited countless art galleries over the years, a common question I have is what it takes to be a model for one of these artworks. Who has that special something that inspires an artist to take up their brush and create?

For local artists Jonathan Saiz and Wes Magyar’s 7,000 Reasons Pop-Up Project, all it takes is $143 and a desire to commemorate oneself or something one loves in an oil painting.

“The contemporary art world and society as a whole has become so cynical” Magyar said. “We wanted to do something joyful and optimistic, and these one-of-a-kind commissioned works seem like a good place to COMING ATTRACTIONS start.”

The pair partnered with the Arvada Center to help the project get to its goal of creating 7,000 7-inch by 7-inch oil paintings over the course of seven months. Paintings are $143 and orders are being taken through Aug. 11. Completed portraits will be on display during Clarke Reader a special pop-up exhibition at the Arvada Center through Nov. 11.

“A lot of people want their pets painted first, and then end up wanting to add others,” Saiz said. “We just want a variety of people to realize that contemporary art is being created for them, not for rich collectors in big cities.”

Some of the portraits are already on display at the center, and subjects include a couple adorable dogs and curator Collin Parson’s new son.

“As a recent new father, I immediately thought an original portrait of our new son would be a great gift for my wife as I saw Wes and Jon’s 7,000 Reasons project online,” Parson explained. “She immediately burst into tears when I gave it to her, and thought: What if we can bring as much joy to Arvada Center patrons and their loved ones? We’re excited to have the project here, as it’s truly accessible and so optimistic.”

To purchase a portrait and for more information, visit the center at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., 720-898-7200 or visit www. arvadacenter.org/7000reasons.

Team’s precision result of hard work Blazing Saddles drill team performs at area rodeos

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The gates swing open and members of the Blazing Saddles Equestrian Drill Team come into the arena at a gallop and keep that pace through all their drills as they perform at a number of area rodeos, parades and shows.

The 24-member team’s performance isn’t always the same. At the May 19 Elizabeth Community Rodeo, their performance included galloping into the arena in single file and forming into pinwheels before forming a double line for the rider carrying the American flag.

Blazing Saddles is the official drill team of the Elizabeth Stampede and they ride for each performance. At the June 1 performance of the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo, they galloped into the arena in a single line as each rider carried flags identifying the rodeo sponsors. The next day they rode in the Elizabeth Stampede Parade.

Currently there are 24 riders on the team. The team is open to boys and girls but there are no boys on the team at this time. The youngest rider is 12 and the oldest is 22. Each rider owns, trains and transports her horse.

Fun prompted sign-up Blazing Saddles rider Maddie Garner said her cousin was riding with the team and it looked like fun so she decided to sign up about three years ago.

“I enjoy riding horses so I signed up for the team,” she said. “I knew it would be fun but it also required that I spent the time working to train my horse to get used to being in formation with other horses.”

The 16-year-old Elizabeth High School student said both she and her horse had to learn to ride on the team. She worked training her horse, Johnny, to ride with other horses in formation. She said in team practices

The Blazing Saddles Drill team executed a pinwheel formation during one of its recent performances. Blazing Saddles is the official drill team of the Elizabeth Stampede and performed at the June 1, 2 and 3 rodeos.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS she learned the drills and at the same time she and Johnny got used to galloping through the drills in formation.

“It also took some practice for me to get used to riding the horse at a gallop carrying a flag,” she said. “It also took time getting to know all my teammates, how they ride and to know the drills so you always know where the other riders are and where you need to be.”

She said Blazing Saddles also is part of High Plains Horse Club that provides families a chance to ride and take part in parades. Garner also said the team is one big family that includes the riders, their parents and their sibling.

“My parents are definitely a part of our team. We travel to a number of rodeos and my parents drive and tow the horse trailer to each event for me,” she said. “I try to ride every day and we usually practice once a week.

Now we are the official drill team for the Elizabeth Stampede so we have been practicing twice a week lately to get ready for the Stampede performances.”

Rodeo led to formation Blazing Saddles coach Cindy Adams said the team was formed in about 2006 when a group of riders competing in Little Britches Rodeo wanted to form their own drill team. “I helped them put the team together,” she said.

“We worked together and developed a simple routine to carry flags and escort a rider carrying an American flag into the arena for the national anthem.”

She said a performance consists of high-speed precision movements on horseback to music. She also said coaching a horseback riding drill team doesn’t come without its challenges “Each rider is different and so is each horse,” the coach said. “You position the riders to where they best fit and are comfortable with their position in the formation. Some horses are faster so again you need to position where they fit in with the horses around them. Of course, there sometimes are horses that don’t like being next to one of the other horses so you have to make those adjustments too.”

Adams said boys and girls are eligible to sign up to join the team.

There are 24 on the squad and three on the list waiting for spots to open up. Those on the waiting list practice with the team so they can fill in if needed. There also a number of riders who including some as young as 6 who join with team members for parades Each member of the team pays $100 a year. The fee covers each rider and the rider’s siblings if they are also on the team.

“The rider’s fees and the support of sponsors help us pay for our outfits and to pay for the insurance we must have to perform,” the coach said. “The team provides the outfits for each rider. Each rider has two sets of chaps, a saddle blanket and 10 team shirts.”

The Blazing Saddles Drill Team rides at local events like the community rodeo and the stampede plus they travel to events like Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Elbert County Fair and the Colorado Horse Expo held in March at the Denver Coliseum.

Master gardeners give green light to growing Experts share tips for raising plants in Colorado

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anyone who’s tried to grow so much as a tomato in Colorado knows how tricky gardening can be here. Thankfully, gardeners flummoxed by the difficulties of mile-high growing can stop

by Littleton’s Hudson Gardens to lean on the expertise of the Master Gardeners of Colorado State University’s County Extension program.

A team of dedicated gardeners, trained and certified by the university’s Arapahoe County Extension office, nurtures and maintains Hudson Gardens’ 23 raised vegetable and herb beds, and hosts twice-monthly “Meet the Gardeners” events through the end of September.

“We grow the standard things: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, beets, carrots, beans and squash,” said Master Gar-

dener Debbie Moody. “We also do some unusual stuff: artichokes, okra and kohlrabi, for instance. All our raised beds are at a height that’s comfortable for people in wheelchairs or who use walkers. We want to demonstrate that all kinds of people can garden at home.”

The garden’s produce goes to the food bank at Integrated Family Community Services, Moody said.

Master Gardeners undergo a rigorous process to earn their title, said Donna Farley-Wade, who also helps maintain the garden.

“We don’t give out opinion or our personal observations — none of that folklore stuff you hear a lot,” FarleyWade said. “We do, however, have lots of evidence-based data to share. Stuff that’s been tested.”

The Hudson Garden group’s goal is to connect as many people as possible with the joys of growing their own food, said Ashley Cleveland.

“Everyone can garden in some way,” Cleveland said. “Even if you’re in an apartment, you can grow herbs, lettuce, or even just houseplants. Gardening is healing and grounding.”

‘The Arsonists’ is haunting look at power of family ties Regional premiere takes stage in Lakewood arts district

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The theater was dark already when we arrived at Benchmark Theatre on a Sunday evening for a performance of “The Arsonists” (perhaps a bit too dark). And there was a soundtrack of crickets and other swampy critters, plus a bit of moody music to set the scene … Walls of a bare cabin let firelight flicker through the slats.

Lights came up briefly for a welcome from Benchmark’s co-producer, Rachel Rogers, and darkness returned as we listened to a frustrated, profane woman, trying to move a heavy bundle into the ramshackle cabin and across the floor to a hole at the back corner where she tears at the floor and eventually dumps her burden …

As light came on again, a distraught young woman, known in the script as M, appears (Florida native Rebakah Goldberg, recently welcomed in the Denver theater community). She roams the little space — talking, restless, frightened, searching? M spies a leather jacket in a cardboard box on the floor. She clasps it to her, smelling and hugging it, puts it on and obviously feels better. It’s her late father’s

“The Arsonists” plays through July 21, with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 6 p.m. Sundays, plus additional performances on July 12 and 19. (No performance on Friday, July 6.) Benchmark Theatre is at 1560 Teller St., Lakewood, in the 40 West Arts District. Tickets cost $30/$20 at benchmarktheatre.com. Questions? Info@benchmarktheatre.com. No children under 8.

jacket and we learn that the family business, as it were, is arson in the Florida swamps, where vegetation flares and burns quickly.

“The Arsonists,” a dark work by playwright Jacqueline Goldfinger, is in a new play’s process of becoming recognized. It was first produced by three member theaters as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. (Curious Theatre in Denver is an NNPN member and participates in a similar process.) Benchmark, in its second season, housed in the former Edge space, seeks strong new material and presents the regional premiere of “The Arsonists” — giving the work an additional boost along its path.

With haunting music, we follow a father-daughter tale inspired by the Greek classic legend of “Electra,” about a daughter who does not want to let her father go …

Rebakah Goldberg performs as “M” in “The Arsonists” at Benchmark Theatre . COURTESY PHOTO Stephen Weitz of Boulder Ensemble Theatre is the discerning director.

H, the desperate father, played by skilled local actor Michael Morgan, appears suddenly to tell M that she left part of him back at the death scene … he can’t totally depart until he is made whole … She of course goes to search for it …

Conversation between the pair is alternately spooky, poetic and funny, as they talk about the past, and the

late mother … A strong, loving relationship between father and daughter lights the interaction throughout, although the relationship is probably far from the experience of most audience members.

Called “a play with music,” this haunting production will send you home with immediate memories of strong performance — and perhaps a backward glimpse of one’s own ancestry somewhere?

I believe that the president’s advisers determined that by uniformly prosecuting everyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, a deterrent effect would be created to reduce the level of illegal border crossings.

However, they miscalculated because of an earlier court decision that does not allow children to remain with their parents for more

“We’re a place that has so many amenities, including all kinds of food and cabana rental options, but it is important to us that those are optional,” she added. “We allow people to bring in their own food and drinks, so if a family simply wants to pay admission and not a dollar more, they don’t need to.”

Water World is home to all manner of attractions, from child-friendly areas like Wally World and Turtle Bay to family-friendly experiences like Lost River of the Pharaohs and Voyage to the Center of the Earth, as well more thrilling options like the Skyline Speed Slides.

But what many people aren’t aware of is Water World is publicly owned, so all the money spent there goes to Hyland Hills’ many recreational sports offerings for children in the district.

“We’re constantly evaluating ways we can improve things or change them to be more in line in with what people want,” Cortez said. “We bring money to community programs, local businesses benefit from all the visitors, and most importantly, we’ve provided countless memories to families over the years.”

READER FROM PAGE 16

Folk-rock singer Ray LaMontagne is one of these artists.

Since he released his debut in 2004, the New Hampshire-born troubadour with a voice that could stop a train in its track has gone beyond the heartbreaking acoustic tunes to more psychedelic rock. His latest album, “Part of the Light,” is one of his most cohesive and rockingest albums yet.

Ray LaMontagne will be perform-

Opener Neko Case is the perfect partner for LaMontagne — she’s also been a fixture of the alternative music scene since the early 2000s, and in all that time she has kept her howling hurricane of a voice. She also released an album just a month ago, “Hell-On,” and it’s reliably great.

Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., is presenting Tony Award-winner “Lend Me A Tenor” as its summer show. Written by Ken Ludwig and directed by Warren Sherrill, the show runs from July 13 through Aug. 19. Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

The show takes place during the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company.

Before a performance of “Otello,” the production’s world-famous tenor goes missing, possibly due to troubles in his marriage. What follows is an evening of madcap fun.

Punter/kicker ranks nationally in sport of fencing

M

att Waid is a specialist.

The senior-to-be will be the punter and place kicker for the Ponderosa football team this season and he is also a highly regarded fencer for the Fencing Academy of Denver.

Obviously kickers have been labeled as specialists for many years in football and fencing isn’t a sport with loads of athletes waiting to sign up.

Waid, the son of Parker Mayor Mike Waid, was the backup last season to Ponderosa’s Issac Power, who earned a scholarship to kick at Baylor.

He practiced and played a lot with the junior varsity but got into five varsity games. He averaged 58.7 yards on seven kickoffs with two touchbacks. He averaged 38 yards on two punts with one going out inside the 20yard line and was 3-for-3 on extra point kicks.

“It was a little frustrating and it kind of always is when you’re not in the first spot,” admitted Waid.

“But Issac is such an amazing punter and kicker and person.

Kicking with Issac, I gained so much.

“Right now I’m working on consistency. I just want to be there consistently for the team. I just want to help out the team.”

Jim Benton Waid ran a 5K with his mother a few years ago and was given a brochure about fencing. He figured it would be “cool” to try fencing and has developed into a top-quality fencer with a saber.

There is so much movement in fencing that fitness is vital.

Fencers must have good instincts to anticipate movements of opponents. Fencing has been called a physical chess and a mental game.

“I think I’m pretty good,” said Waid. “I’m nationally ranked. It is the thinking aspect of fencing that appeals to me. Especially at the higher levels, you really have to think about stuff and that is what separates you.

OVERTIME

“I’m definitely not the fastest or smartest person but felt like I could test myself in both aspects.”

Waid could be heading to the Air Force Academy after graduation from Ponderosa, and if he becomes a Falcon then both aspects will again be tested.

New Ralston Valley coach Jess Sponenberg, who was the head girls volleyball coach at Horizon between 2010-15, is the new volleyball coach at Ralston Valley.

She takes over for Debbie Erickson.

Sport physicals There are two remaining offerings for sport physical examinations for all Douglas County student district high school athletes.

The first is from 8 a.m. until noon on July 28 at Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, 1060 Plaza Drive, #200, Highlands Ranch.

To register go to www. trgrizzlies.org and then go to

registrations and choose 2018 sports physical sign-up. All athletes must register.

The second event is from 8-10:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 at Ponderosa High School, 7007 E. Bayou Gulch Road, Parker.

To register go to www. signupgenius.com/ go/5080d44a9a72fa75-ponderosa13.

For information all 720-233-3233.

Bound for Finland Anna Hall, a senior-to-be at Valor Christian, has been named to the USA Track and Field U20 roster and will be on the team that will compete in the U20 World Championships in Tampere, Finland from July 10-15.

Hall will be competing in the heptathlon. She set a national high school heptathlon record at the Great Southwest Classic on June 1 with 5,798 points.

At the Class 4A state track meet in May, Hall won the 100- and 300-meter hurdles and the long jump. She set a state class record of 40.76 in the 300 hurdles. She was the Colorado Gatorade girls track Athlete of the Year.
