About me I have an older sister and brother, a dog and two cats. My family lives in Roxborough.

I play baseball on the Renegades Travel Ball team. We travel across Colorado — and we are going to Arizona this year. Next year, we might go to Oklahoma. We play 11 tournaments during the season.

I also knit hats and play my Xbox.

My favorite subject is math. At first, I struggled with it and now I’ve been powering my way up. I’m much better at it.

Giving to others When I was 7 years old, I donated all of my birthday gifts to the Ronald McDonald House at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

When I was in fifth grade, I had to do a philanthropy project at school. My goal was to make 10 hats and two blankets for kids with cancer at Children’s Hospital. My grandma and mom said they could help and we ended up making 50 hats. They were beanies of all different sizes.

Recently, my uncle was diagnosed with cancer. When he passed away in early March, we saw what cancer can do to people. That made me want to make the hats all over again. My

Garrett Lowry, 11, loves baseball and helping others.

ALEX DEWIND grandma is helping me. We don’t have a name for what we are doing yet, but we hope to do it every year.

Fun fact My favorite trip of all time was going to Lake Havasu in Arizona and driving an ATV for my first time. It was really scary but my uncle taught me how to drive it.

Migration mysteries The Highlands Ranch Community Association is hosting a live raptor presentation from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on April 15 at the auditorium at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road.

The presentation will explore bird migration, during a time period when many migratory bird species are returning north. Wild Wings Environmental Education, a nonprofit educational organization based in Centennial, will lead the discussion.

The cost is $7 per person. A ticket is required for each guest. Children under 15 must be accompanied by a paying adult. To register, visit hrcaonline.org/about-us/guides-communication/calendar-schedules/event-detail/ mysteries-of-migration.

Water bills climb Customers of Centennial Water and Sanitation District will see a slight increase in their bills this year due to inflation, increasing costs for utilities, repair services, wages and benefits.

The base water usage rate, per 1,000 gallons, increased from $3.21 in 2016 to $3.41 in 2017. The average wastewater charge increased from $38.14 in 2016 to $38.54 in 2017. The storm water bimonthly charge increased from $2.28 to $2.39.

Proposed rate changes for a typical single-family annual bill are estimated to increase 3.2 percent from $827 to $853. Water and wastewater rates remain among the lowest in the south metro region, according to the Centennial Water and Sanitation District website.

TUESDAY special

GETTING HERE

A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision March 22 will have ramifications for special-needs students across the country.

The court has sided with the parents of an autistic Douglas County School District student who say their child wasn’t provided the level of public education required by federal law.

In the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said 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.”

The parents were seeking reimbursement of $70,000 for the child’s tuition and related expenses at a private school.

The student involved is identified only as Endrew F. in court docu-

ments. He attended Summit View Elementary in Highlands Ranch.

The suit was filed through his parents, identified only as Joseph F. and Jennifer F. in court documents. The attorney for the family is listed as Jack D. Robinson, with Spies, Powers & Robinson, P.C., of Denver.

“In DCSD, we are ever dedicated to the education of all of our 67,000 students,” William Trachman, the school district’s legal counsel, said in an email. “We respect the decision of the Supreme Court justices and we are confident that the work we do for our students already meets this higher standard. Notably, the court did not hold that Douglas County School District failed to meet the new standard, or say that DCSD can’t proceed to prove that it met that standard in the Endrew F. matter. Indeed, in this case, the Douglas County School District offered an appropriate Individualized Education Plan and we look forward to proving to the lower courts that the IEP meets the new, higher standard.”

The question centered on what educational benefits are guaranteed to a child with disabilities by a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The case dates to 2010.

The Highlands Ranch Community Association welcomes one new member and one incumbent to its five-person board of directors.

Four candidates — Kurt Huffman, Barbara Salisbury and Jim Allen and incumbent Brock Norris — vied for two seats on the board.

Allen, at 20,849 votes, and Norris, at 17,353 votes, were elected at a March 21 delegate meeting at Eastridge Recreation Center. They will each serve two-year terms.

Allen, a senior project manager and professional engineer, brings to the board his experience of overseeing large and small budgets. He has worked on public and private sector capital improvement projects, including maintenance facilities for Longmont, Greenwood Village and Thornton and the Twin Tunnels in Idaho Springs.

Allen has been an HRCA delegate — a resident elected to represent a neighborhood — for three years. He has served on the HRCA Development

Review Committee for five years.

He brings his knowledge of major projects in the community, including the Central Park development north of Target in Town Center.

Norris, a self-employed engineer, has lived in Highlands Ranch for 17 years. He was a delegate for six years prior to becoming a board director Allen in 2011.

Norris said his greatest achievement on the board has been the renovation of Northridge Recreation Center, which is set to begin later this year. One of his goals is to change the term of board members from two to four years.

Norris Norris and Allen will serve as vice presidents of the board.

Scott Lemmon, whose term expires next March, was named president.

Melissa Park, whose term expires next March, is secretary and Dennis Seymour, whose term expires next March, is treasurer.

At the delegate meeting — which Allen was absent from due to travel plans — Norris thanked the delegates for their support and continued faith in him as a board member.

“I’m thrilled,” he said, “and I’m excited.”

Dog park likely to remain open on heels of concerns over waste Problem lessens at Hound Hill following warning from the metro district

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid concern over its possible closure due to excessive dog waste, the Hound Hill Dog Park will likely remain open due to a turnaround from dog owners in recent days, the Highlands Ranch Metro District said last week.

“There’s been a remarkable improvement in the cleanliness,” said Courtney Kuhlen, community relations specialist of the metro district.

“We are not foreseeing closing it.”

The dog park, located next to Heritage Park on Quebec Street, is one of four dog parks in Highlands Ranch, and the most popular. The dirt area, spread over nearly two acres, has 30 to 50 dogs at peak hours. It is equipped with several trash-bag dispensers and trash bins.

About mid-March, the metro district

Concern grows among residents about the possible closure of Hound Hill Dog Park, behind Heritage Park off Quebec Street, due to the amount of dog waste left behind by pet owners.

ALEX DEWIND put up a warning sign at the entrance of the park following a growing accumulation of dog waste, which is unappealing to visitors and a health hazard for water runoff.

“Park rangers were concerned and wanted to remind pet owners to

do their part and pick up after their pets,” Kuhlen said.

Word spread of the possibility of the park’s closure, causing concern among residents who frequent the dog-friendly area.

Cindy Bricker takes her three dogs

to the park almost every day. She said she picks up three or four scoops of dog waste — from her dogs and from other dogs — on an average day. She does so to avoid having her dogs run through waste when they play fetch.

“There is a 99 percent chance your dog is going to poop,” Bricker said.

“If you love dogs, you clean up after them.”

Jill Vick takes her dog to the park about twice a week, where she also exercises or meets friends for coffee.

Vick said she is diligent about picking up her dog’s waste, adding that some people don’t always notice when their pet has gone to the bathroom.

“I’m going to be so sad,” she said at the thought of Hound Hill’s closure, while her dog wagged its tail in the back seat of her car. “We love this park.”

Though the park will likely remain open, the metro district still asks residents to take responsibility for their dogs.

“Our goal is to keep all of our facilities to a high standard,” Kuhlen said.

“No matter where you are, in the dog parks or on the trails, always pick up after your pet.”

Consultant looking at possible fire merger Costs, service are factors for South Metro, LFR, partners

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A third-party consultant is advising Littleton Fire Rescue and its partners, Littleton Fire Protection District and Highlands Ranch Metro District, on a possible merger with South Metro Fire Rescue.

Officials from South Metro approached LFR Chief Chris Armstrong, as well as Cunningham Fire Protection District, last summer about the possibility of merging as a way to cut costs and improve service.

At a March 21 study session, Littleton City Council heard from Armstrong, as well as representatives of the fire protection district and Highlands Ranch.

Armstrong said that South Metro would be a simpler merger than with Denver Fire Department, which contracts with Englewood and Sheridan, or West Metro Fire Rescue. He noted that LFR shares about 75 percent of its border with South Metro and the departments already have automatic aid agreements. A unified department with South Metro, Littleton and Cunningham would cover nearly 300 square miles across the south metro area with a population of about half a million people. Its 600-member department would still be smaller than the 900-member Denver Fire Department.

“It makes a lot of sense to have this conversation with South Metro,” Armstrong said.

Highlands Ranch Metro District Boardmember Carolyn Schierholz added that Denver Fire Department would not be a good option for Highlands Ranch due to its distance, and that Denver Fire does not operate its own advanced life support service, which is instead provided by Denver Health.

LFPD board member Jim Albee said the district had already been looking at issues it has with cost and service, and some of its problems could be solved by unification with a larger department.

“We believe it’s very unlikely that an LFR scenario is going to offer the fire protection district a better combination of service and cost than

a South Metro option,” he said.

Washington, D.C.-based Center for Public Safety Management is consulting the department on what its best options are. Armstrong said that LFR’s priorities are sustaining its existing partnerships, financial sustainability and service improvements.

If one of the three partners left and joined a larger department on its own, the remainder would face either higher costs or degraded service.

Councilmember Doug Clark cautioned that the partners should look at all options before making a decision, noting that emergency medical services could be taken over by hospitals in the future.

“It’s like somebody drove up to the front of your house and said ‘do you want to buy my car?’” he said.

Vehicle accidents on the rise

March 30, 2017M

Sheriff’s office asks residents to slow down, concentrate on driving

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Michelle Luttman was driving north on University Boulevard when she stopped at a red light at the Highlands Ranch Parkway intersection.

Before the light turned green, an SUV rear-ended her car. The crash left Luttman with neck and back pain.

“I’ve seen a whole lot of everything,” said Luttman, a former Domino’s Pizza delivery driver who has lived in Highlands Ranch four years. “A lot of people are rushing, on their phone, not stopping at stop signs — or don’t pay attention to see if the other way has a stop sign.”

Luttman’s crash was one of 2,149 in 2016 on Highlands Ranch roads, a 4 percent increase from 2015, according to Sgt. Chris Washburn of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

Nearly at its build-out of roughly 100,000 residents, Highlands Ranch is bustling with more cars than ever.

The rise in the number of motor vehicles is a reflection of the greater region’s population boom. The Denver metro area — which encompasses Arapahoe, Adams, Jefferson, Denver, Broomfield and Douglas counties — was home to about 2.7 million people in 2015, an increase of roughly 250,000 residents since 2010, according to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs State Demography Office.

Douglas County alone grew from 285,465 people in 2010 to 322,387 residents in 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Highlands Ranch, the county’s most populated region, is home to an estimated 95,830 people. The suburban, unincorporated community embodies a car culture with little reliance on public transportation.

And more cars on the road inevitably mean the possibility of accidents is greater.

Dangerous habits Residents and emergency officials raise concerns about unsafe driving habits on Highlands Ranch roads.

Chronic issues among Highlands Ranch drivers are texting, speeding, following too closely and being inattentive on the road, Washburn said.

“Generally, people need to concentrate on driving,” Washburn said. “If they are driving their cars, that needs to be their primary focus, not messing on their phones or radios.”

Unsafe behavior while driving is a not just a Highlands Ranch problem.

According to a 2017 survey conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 88 percent of millennial drivers, people ages 18 to 32, according to Pew Research Center, engaged in at least one risky behavior behind the wheel — speeding, running red lights or texting — over a 30-day period. That number was 69 percent for drivers ages 16 to 18 and 75 percent for drivers ages 40 to 59.

This accident last year at the intersection of Highlands Ranch Parkway and Zotos Drive was one of 2,149 in Highlands Ranch in 2016.

No serious injuries were reported after this crash.

FRUSTRATION BEHIND THE WHEEL PART 2 OF 3

ABOUT THIS SERIES: This is the second in a three-part series that explores how increasing traffic is affecting the Highlands Ranch community. The series started last week with a look at why traffic has grown and where major congestion occurs. This week’s second installment addresses the rising number of traffic accidents. The last part, which will run on April 6, looks at worsening congestion in school zones.

The 2015 U.S. Census report in Highlands Ranch counted about 8 percent of people in the community as 15 to 19 years old, about 12 percent as 20 to 34 years old and about 34 percent as 45 to 59 years old.

“It’s critical that these drivers understand the potentially deadly consequences of engaging in these types of behaviors and that they change their behavior and attitudes in order to reverse the growing number of fatalities on U.S. roads,” Dr. David Yang, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety executive director, said in a news release.

Striving for safety Though the number of car accidents in Highlands Ranch increased from 2015 to 2016, the number of driving fatalities decreased from 17 in 2014 to 13 in 2015, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Washburn says that’s partly because of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office’s efforts to create a safer driving atmosphere.

In 2015, the sheriff ’s office launched a program called STACC — Strategic and Tactical Analysis of Crimes and Crashes — to reduce the number of mo-

A ‘DISTURBING SNAPSHOT’ The Colorado Department of Transportation surveyed 845 Colorado residents last November on dangerous and distracted roadway behaviors. Results show that 22 percent of Coloradans admit to reading a text, email or social post on their phones while driving. Sixty-nine percent of respondents admitted to speeding in the 2016 survey, up from 65 percent in 2014.

“This survey provides us with a good but disturbing snapshot of what is actually happening on Colorado roadways,” Darrell tor vehicle crashes on county roads.

The roadways in Highlands Ranch that have the most accidents, Washburn said, include Highlands Ranch Parkway and the Quebec corridor from the stretch of University Boulevard that becomes Lincoln Avenue to County Line Road.

Speeding is a problem throughout Douglas County, Washburn said, on interstates, arterial roadways, in neighborhoods and school zones.

“We really wish that drivers would be courteous. Slow down, leave some space, put down their phones and devices and pay attention to their driving,” Washburn said in an email correspondence. “We’d like it very much if drivers would concentrate on the act of driving and quit crashing into one another.”

Through STACC, the sheriff ’s office issues warning cards and uses message boards, social media blasts and media releases to increase safety on the roads.

Along University Boulevard, near the C-470 exit and the Highlands Ranch Parkway intersection, large message boards often warn drivers to slow down or refrain from texting.

Getting the message?

Colorado law prohibits texting for all drivers and the use of a cellphone for those under the age of 18.

The penalty for text messaging while driving is a $50 fine and one point against the driver’s license. Senate Bill

Lingk, director of the Office of Transportation Safety at CDOT, said in a news release.

In Colorado, there were 488 driving-related fatalities in 2014 and 546 in 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nationally, the number of fatalities caused by driving accidents jumped 7.2 percent from 32,744 in 2014 to 35,092 in 2015, the largest increase in nearly 50 years, the NHTSA reports.

17-027, which is making its way through the state House, would increase the penalty to a $300 fine and four points against the driver’s license.

Last year, STACC reduced crashes by 4 percent overall countywide and by 11 percent in the Quebec corridor, Washburn said.

“We don’t want to go out and give tickets to everybody all day long,” Washburn said. “We want to correct the bad driving behavior.”

Highlands Ranch resident T.J. Washabaugh, 19, considers the worst problem on the roads to be texting and driving.

“Not only teenagers, but I have seen more adults — and even mothers with children in the back — texting and driving,” he said.

Washabaugh was driving through the Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Highlands Ranch Parkway intersection into the adjacent neighborhood when a driver turning left onto Wildcat Reserve crashed into his car head-on.

Washabaugh had a green light — the other driver failed to yield.

Both cars were totaled. Washabaugh also had burns from the car’s airbag and a concussion, he said. The other driver received a ticket for failing to yield.

Washabaugh recovered from the crash, which happened about a year ago.

But, he said, “I still am nervous to drive through that intersection.”

“When all is said and done, a student offered an educational program providing ‘merely more than de minimis’ progress from year to year can hardly be said to have been offered an education at all,” Roberts wrote in the decision. “For children with disabilities, receiving instruction that aims so low would be tantamount to ‘sitting idly ... awaiting the time when they were old enough to ‘drop out.’”

The federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, guarantees a “free appropriate public education” to all students with disabilities.

The court decision expands the definition of what “appropriate” means.

“It cannot be right that the IDEA generally contemplates grade-level advancement for children with disabilities who are fully integrated in the regular classroom, but is satisfied with barely more than de minimis progress for children who are not,” Roberts wrote.

Roberts wrote that the nature of the IEP process, from the initial

consultation through state administrative proceedings, ensures that parents and school representatives “will fully air their respective opinions on the degree of progress a child’s IEP should pursue” and by the time any dispute reaches court, school authorities will have had a complete opportunity to bring their expertise and judgment to bear on areas of disagreement.

IEPs were established by the case Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v.

Rowley in 1982, a case out of Peekskill, New York. Each IEP must be “reasonably calculated to confer an educational benefit on the child.”

Endrew F. 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 IEPs tailored to meet his unique needs.

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

Competition puts students, robots to the test Regional event draws schools from around Colorado

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Robots race at each other in a metallic frenzy, scooping up balls, gears and sprockets as quickly as they can.

The collected parts are brought back to their stations and the fuel is loaded before the propellers can start to turn.

“The idea is that they’re trying to get their steamship to take off,” said William Schneider, president of Colorado FIRST Robotics. “The more skilled robots will shoot 60 balls up into the top netting. It’s real fun to watch those.”

The Colorado regional of the three-day, national FIRST Robotics Competition took place at the University of Denver March 23-25 and pitted students from across Colorado in a robot-building contest that matches their creations in different games. FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — is a nonprofit group based in New Hampshire that works to spark youths’ interest in science and technology.

Licia Lamb, Nathaniel Cho, Noah Graber and Joseph Gedney of STEM High and Academy in Highlands Ranch expalin what it’s like working in the pits at the FIRST Robotics competition.

MIKE DIFERDINANDO Teams advance in the tournament, with winners gaining a place at the national competition in Houston later this year.

Each team has six weeks to build their robot and the game they play is different every year.

Teams start with kits of basic

parts, but are allowed the freedom to customize.

“A senior engineer could play with it for years,” Schneider said on the second day of the competition. “It’s like the best erector set ever.”

Licia Lamb, a senior from the team representing STEM High and

Academy in Highlands Ranch, said her team spent 12 weeks designing, testing and building their robot.

“I like that our students are the ones doing it,” said Lamb, who was competing in her sixth FIRST robotics competition. “There’s no mentors. It’s students learning and students doing.”

In between rounds of competition, the robots and their engineers spent their time in the pits.

“Think of it like NASCAR,” Lamb said. “This is our maintenance area.”

Austin Briggs, a senior from the team representing Legacy High School in Broomfield, said he likes that the competition allows for creativity.

“It’s such a complex game, we really wanted to boil it down to a simple solution to that,” Briggs said.

Legacy focused on gear intake.

“We did a lot of geometry testing on that to make sure the lever (for gears) is at the right angle,” Briggs said.

Legacy played 12 practice matches the first day and then came back to the pits to make adjustments before the start of competition.

“That’s a huge thing with this competition,” Briggs said. “You recognize an issue that you have and you come up with the solution. It’s a really fast-paced environment.”

VOICES

Island vendor’s inspiring, affirming words add to beauty of beach WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

T

he past several months have been an extremely busy time in my life. And I am grateful for all of the work, opportunities, challenges, setbacks and people who have been placed in my path.

The good news is that I was fortunate enough to take a short vacation on one of the Caribbean islands last week. The weather was perfect, the sand was soft, the water warm and inviting, the breeze singing through the palm trees, and all that combined with a good book was enough to help get

me to that place of vacating all the tension, stress, and tiredness that had accumulated over the prior several months. That is, I thought it was enough, as it turned out I had one more blessing that would take place each and every day while relaxing on the beach.

There were many locals on the island who walk the beach talking with the guests and trying to sell their tours, fishing trips, snorkel trips, a ride or taxi into town, jewelry, aloe, and some other items that they carried with them.

However, there was one local man

who was selling foot massages. He carried a sign and his T-shirt read, “Just Feet.” Although I didn’t take advantage of a foot massage, many of the other guests did.

However, what I did take advantage of was listening to Sam, as he walked the beach. As he walked, he would speak out loud. He wasn’t trying to sell his services, he was counting on his sign, his Tshirt, and word of mouth to bring him business. What he was saying out loud while walking were daily positive affirmations. He had a different word for each day we were

there. Sam would say something like, “Today I am happy. All my thoughts and all my actions today will build upon my happiness. I will share my happiness with others hoping I can give them some of my heart and happiness.” And he would repeat this over and over again while walking.

This took place every day. The next day Sam walked by saying, “Today I am grateful, today I count my blessings instead of my curses, today I am grateful for SEE NORTON, P11

Not to give anything away, but let’s go all out on awards

I LETTER TO THE EDITOR Too much growth, too fast It’s extremely sad, and frustrating, to see the unchecked growth in Douglas County, and the cities within the county.

We all understand that growth will happen, but it needs to happen responsibly. Douglas County commissioners have approved every developer, without considering the infrastructure.

One would only have to look at the volume of traffic from Lone tree to Colorado Springs. How many accidents have to happen, on the stretch of highway, before the county commissioners slow down their approval of all development? How desperate

does the water situation have to get?

How many projects should be approved for downtown Castle Rock before the town council realizes that there will be no parking, which of course will ruin long-running celebrations such as the Starlighting, Oktoberfest, movie in the streets, etc.?

Douglas County commissioners and the Castle Rock Town Council need to address the safety and quality of life of the current residents. New developers need to be secondary, and should only be approved with the proper infrastructure by the county and various city councils.

We’re getting ready for the Awards Awards. Pardon my redundancy, as W.C. QUIET Fields would say.

We have awards DESPERATION for everything else, so why not awards for awards?

There are two or three ceremonies every month, for movies, songs, zookeepers, and shoe clerks.

Craig Marshall The Awards Awards pools all Smith of them. It makes perfect sense.

Sooner or later each and every one of us will be handed a trophy.

As an educator I made an important discovery. Give everyone an “A,” and everyone goes home happy.

Best Acceptance Speech. Best Worst Acceptance Speech.

Best Musical. Best Musical Music.

Awarding awards goes back 40,000 years. We know that a Neanderthal

named “Buzz” picked up a trophy for Best Grunting Around the Females.

From there it spread to Greece, and the first Olympiad.

And now?

I have heard rumors about an awards channel, like Turner Classic Movies. Twenty-four hours a day.

Non-stop ceremonies, new ones, old ones.

Who wouldn’t want to see Sacheen Littlefeather accept on behalf of Marlon Brando again? And maybe catch up on what she is doing these days?

She turned 70 last November.

Upcoming: Best Sports Nicknames.

I’m rooting for Thomas “The Angry Salad” Romaine, a St. Louis middleweight.

Jennifer is rooting for Bill “Old Fish ‘n’ Chips” Flounderman, a utility infielder in the Appalachian League.

Best Ethical Politician was canceled because there are none.

Best Sideline Reporters? Same thing.

Now if I were a cynic, I might have thought that this was just Sam’s way of getting the attention of the resort guests so that they would read his sign or T-shirt and request a foot massage.

But the more I watched him, and the more he walked the beach away from the guests, he continued saying out loud, softly, almost in a whisper sometimes, but still proclaiming his positive affirmations out loud. He wasn’t

holding them inside, he wasn’t keeping them to himself, he was just sharing what seemed very natural and a very big part of his life and reason for contentment and happiness.

I was only there for several days, so I do not know how many positive words and affirmations Sam has in his affirmation bucket or in his positive word bank, But I do know that happiness, gratitude, contentment, love and forgiveness were the words I heard Sam use. I don’t know that I had a favorite as they were all speaking directly to me, but I think the most memorable was his positive affirmation about love. Sam was causally and peacefully walking through the sand and saying, “Today I choose love. I choose to love

others as I have been loved. I choose to love even those who do not love me. I hope that someone may hear or see my love today and that it somehow makes a difference in their lives. Today I choose love.” And he recited it over and over again.

Sam’s positive affirmations added to what was already a relaxing vacation, and his words reminded me just how powerful the spoken word is, especially when we are using them to positively affirm ourselves or others.

So how about you? Do you have a positive word bank or affirmation bucket you can draw upon that drives your belief system for each day? It doesn’t have to be a big list or large bucket, maybe you just have a few

“go-to” words that inspire you. My encouragement is that you try speaking them out loud, softly, almost a whisper if it gives you greater comfort, but to try the power of the positively spoken word for yourself. Even if you speak it in private, speak the words and thoughts out loud and let me know if it makes a difference at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can start each day and live each day through positive words of affirmation, it really will be a better than good week.

Teen reaches out to world via airwaves Anna Veal honored for her work in radio technology

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anna Veal likes talking to individuals around the world. But rather than using social media or a cell phone to do so, she uses a radio.

“It’s learning about different cultures,” the 16-year-old said. “It’s not just having a conversation over the radio, it’s having an experience.”

Tuning in over her handheld radio, Veal has talked to a man in Germany about the weather and music. She’s talked to a girl in Russia about what school is like in the foreign country.

In the digital age, using a radio to communicate may seem old-fashioned.

But for Anna, it is a passion and hobby that has earned her many recognitions, including, most recently, a Radio Club of America Young Achievers Award. The award is presented to students in high school or younger who have demonstrated excellence and creativity in wireless communica-

According to the National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL), amateur radio, otherwise known as ham radio, is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together.

There are more than 600,000 radio amateurs in the United States and more than 2 million worldwide, the ARRL reports.

Licensees, who must pass a multiple-choice test, have access to groups of bands, or frequencies, on a shortwave or AM radio. The bands allow radio users near and far to communicate.

Ham radios can be used anywhere — on a mountain, in a home, on the side of the road — and are useful in times of disaster when mainstream communication networks fail. According to the ARRL, the Amateur Radio Service kept agencies in touch during the 9/11 tragedy, Hurricane Katrina and the 2013 Boulder flood.

Veal’s love for amateur radio

comes from her father, Bryon Veal, who became licensed in his 20s. Bryon received his first radio as a young boy, to which he installed a long wire antenna. He would listen at night and sometimes catch individuals talking from around the world.

“I think sometimes you are born with an intuition towards a hobby,” said Bryon.

That has been the case for his daughter.

Veal has participated in dozens of amateur radio contests and spoken at several national events, including the Rocky Mountain ARRL Regional Meeting in New Mexico. She has received many awards, including the 2015 Amateur Radio News-Line Young Ham of the Year, determined by a judging committee, that recognizes individuals for their accomplishments and contributions in terms of public service.

“There’s just something about the hobby that is very intrinsic for her,” Bryon Veal said.

Veal is also active in her community, serving as an American Diabetes Association Youth Ambassador and starting an amateur radio club at her school that now has about 20 members.

On March 30, Veal is scheduled to be one of four scholarship recipients recognized at the International Wireless Communications Expo in Las Vegas for her Radio Club of America Young Achievers Award. The expo is a venue for individuals in the technology field to connect.

Veal said she is looking forward to networking with others alike. In her free time, she likes to program and design computer games. She has aspirations to study computer science or bioengineering at Colorado State University and hopes to be employed in the computer industry someday.

Of his daughter’s accomplishments, Bryon Veal said: “I am one proud father.”

Women supporting women ‘was never a new idea’ Expectant mothers turn to doulas for better birth experiences

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes it’s easier for a doula to describe what she isn’t than to define what she is.

“I’m your support person, I’m not a doctor. I’m not your husband,” Denise Grovo, a doula in training, tells her first client, Centennial attorney Lauren da Cunha. “I can’t prescribe medication. I can’t catch the baby.”

Grovo, of Parker, takes diligent notes, creating a birth plan — a list of the things da Cunha wants and doesn’t want — for the delivery of her first child, due in June.

She writes down how long da Cunha wants to wait before cutting the umbilical cord and how soon the baby will be brought to her for skin-to-skin contact.

Denise Grovo, left, recuperates as her doula, Sarah Lopez, center, stands beside V. Miller and her new baby, whom Grovo carried as a surrogate. Grovo paid for half of Lopez’s doula services out-of-pocket to have her there to help when needed. COURTESY PHOTO She reminds da Cunha that doctors will make the ultimate decision about using an epidural or performing a cesarean section, but she’ll make sure it’s necessary before they go forward.

Her place is beside da Cunha, not

between her and her doctors.

“I’m there for as long as you need me to be,” Grovo says, to offer massages, counseling and whatever else she can do to make the delivery go smoothly. Her overnight bag is

always at the ready.

The doula — a Greek word meaning “women’s servant” — is becoming more popular as emerging research shows the benefits of supporting mothers throughout labor and childbirth. Data from Doulas of North America International, one of several doula certification organizations, show approximately 94 doulas in Colorado from their program alone.

Doulas offer expectant mothers information, emotional support and in some cases, postpartum and breastfeeding care. Most importantly, they have the experience of someone who knows what to expect in a delivery room.

That experience is what attracted da Cunha. It’s her first baby, and she and her husband aren’t sure what to expect.

“If there are people out there who have that experience and I can draw from it, why wouldn’t I?” she says.

The beef-and-noodle dish, pronounced “fuh,” originated in Vietnam in the 1880s. The name is believed to come from the French “pot au feu,” which translates to “pot of fire,” a beef stew the French brought to Vietnam when they colonized the country.

Over the course of generations, the dish became Vietnam’s national food.

“We look at pho like Americans look at bacon and eggs,” says Sunny Wong, whose family owns Pho Real in Littleton. “It’s a staple, it’s a street food. You can just get out

of your car anywhere (in Vietnam) and get a bowl of pho. We eat it for breakfast and dinner.”

Pho became popular in the United States over the last few decades, but the trend has become a favorite with consommé consumers, and new restaurants continue to open across the metro area.

Aficionados frown upon referring to pho as a soup, but comparisons arise nonetheless. Wong points out a key difference is pho, as opposed to ramen or wonton soup, is always made with rice noodles, not egg or flour. A variety of spices like star anise and ginger are added during cooking, and the bowl is traditionally topped with thin slices of rare beef that brown in the bowl.

But every batch of pho begins and ends with the broth.

Chanh Nguyen, who owns and operates Hashtag Pho in Centennial with his daughters Ally and Sue, steeps beef bones for two days to infuse all of the flavor he can into the broth, just as Wong’s aunt and uncle do at Pho Real.

One disadvantage of pho’s popularity, they say, is that some restaurants have begun to cut corners and use canned broth. Grocery stores have even begun to carry “instant pho,” a concept Sue and Ally laugh at.

Chanh Nguyen ladles out a bit of the beefy broth he’s steeping in the kitchen at Hashtag Pho in Centennial. Nguyen came to the United States in 1987 and opened his family’s first pho restaurant near County Line and Quebec over 15 years ago.

TOM SKELLEY But the Nguyens’ discerning customers, like Dan Popylisen, of Parker, know the difference.

“I’ve been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years, and some of the younger places around Denver take their broth off the back of a truck,” he says. “This place is the real deal.”

Traditional pho is all about the beef, but many restaurants offer “pho chay,” a vegetarian variation created for Vietnam’s Buddhist population.

Pho Real bases their vegetarian broth on soy sauce and adds tofu, while Hashtag Pho’s pho chay is carrot and cabbage-based. At Golden Pho, in Golden the menu boasts that the pho chay there takes 10 hours to cook,

and includes onions, ginger, cabbage, snow peas, squash, corn, scallions and even some cinnamon.

‘A sense of pride’ Authenticity and fresh ingredients are important to pho restaurateurs, Wong says, because family honor is on the line with every bowl.

“Every good pho restaurant probably has a family behind it,” he says.

“When people came to America from Vietnam, there’s a sense of pride in opening a pho restaurant.”

Born in the U.S., Wong says eating pho almost every day was a way for him to connect to his heritage.

Vinyl Me, Please keeps the music spinning

ow do you find the music you love?

There’s always been the radio, and streaming sites like Spotify have gotten better and better at creating LINER recommendations for NOTES listeners to discover new artists.

But the people behind Denver-based Vinyl Me, Please, know none of that can replace the person who shares an album they really love with you.

“Everybody has Clarke Reader these moments where you have this friend who is like, ‘No, you have to hear this thing’ and plays it for you,” said Tyler Barstow, who co-founded Vinyl Me, Please with Matt Fiedler in 2013. “Any music person, regardless of how much you use Spotify and that stuff, needs somebody in their life who says, ‘You need to sit down and listen to this one thing,’ and that’s what we do every month.”

Vinyl Me, Please, is a record-of-themonth club where subscribers are sent one record each month — a record the 16-person staff has discussed, debated and decided it’s essential to any vinyl collection. Over the years, selections have included everything from Nina Simone’s “Nina Simone Sings the Blues” to The War on Drugs’ “Lost in the Dream” and Gorrilaz’s “Demon Days” to The Fugees’ “The Score.”

These unique pressings also include

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Drake’s “More Life,” released on Young Money, Cash Money and Republic records.

Review: Drake was starting to take himself a little too seriously on last year’s “Views,” but he’s lightened up considerably on his latest release, which he is calling a playlist

(how that is different from an album or mixtape, I couldn’t possibly explain).

Drake pulls even more international influences into his sound, and as is always the case, he and his producers make it sound absolutely incredible. I’ve always been a fan of Drake’s R&B leanings over rap, and he highlights

specially written liner notes, artworks and a custom cocktail-pairing recipe.

“We have a relationship with our members where we say, ‘Here is this thing that was really moving to us and we actually spend a lot of time writing about it … and we’d love for you to give it a listen,’ “ Barstow explained. “Our goal is to illuminate and shed some light on where this album comes from, because there are so many albums that aren’t just another pop record or another rap record or another indie rock record.”

In addition to the album of the month, subscribers to Vinyl Me, Please, receive access to limited-edition album pressings and special versions through the company’s online store. The website, www.vinylmeplease.com, also features some of the best long-form music writing on the internet, podcasts where Barstow discusses the latest in music with artists and other music experts, and weekly playlists.

Vinyl Me, Please, also hosts monthly listening parties called The Spins at

that side of himself this time around. Don’t miss it.

Favorite song: “Passion Fruit” Most empowering lyric: “They want me gone, wait for the kicker/Bury me now and I only get bigger.” from “Gyalchester””

local bars and brewpubs, where music lovers can come together over drinks and great tunes.

Not bad for a club that started in a house in Louisville with just 12 members.

The roots of the company go back to Chicago, where Barstow and Fiedler lived and worked together. Fiedler got a record player for Christmas, but it was hard to find good vinyl around town.

They started looking for record clubs, but couldn’t find any good ones — and so Vinyl Me, Please was born.

Fiedler and his wife came to Colorado, and Barstow soon followed, and they started working in earnest on building the best record club available.

“It started with how do we get this to work, and then it was how do we make this tolerable and then how do we make this a little better than tolerable, and now we have the resources to go make this thing really great to use and be a part of,” Barstow said. “Over time it’s a relationship you develop with people.

And we don’t refer to any of our people

as customers, because they’re members of a thing we’re building with them.”

The approach is working: By the end of 2016, Vinyl Me, Please had more than 20,000 subscribers in 40 countries, and has been featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and in Forbes Magazine. The company left its Boulder headquarters, and now is in downtown Denver, where it has room for even more growth.

“Very slowly, almost without us noticing at times, it became a very big deal,” Barstow said. “Our mantra is we want to bring people closer to music and artists that matter and find more ways to connect with these artists and albums in a deeper level.”

At a time where people primarily get their music from digital means, it’s important to celebrate those who still find the meaning in the tactile.

“I think there’s something really meaningful about going, ‘I love this album and I have it, and I have it on my shelf and I have all the art. And I open it up and there’s the liner notes and I see all these photographs,’” Barstow said. “There’s something meaningful in the ritual and setting time aside to show how much you value this art.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he hopes someone will vinyl him, please. Check out his music blog at calmacil20. blogspot.com. And share why you love vinyl at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

‘Math Lab’ is number one for childhood fun Book is designed for kids from age 6 through 10

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Welcome to the secret world of mathematicians … Mathematicians play. They come up with interesting questions and investigate possible solutions,” say authors Rebecca Rapoport and J.A. Yoder about their recently published book, “Math Lab,” which presents shapes, puzzles and games and invites hands-on participation.

“Math Lab” — which is aimed at 6- to 10-year-olds who may want to develop “skills in math, science, engineering, writing and well, life” — has numerous exercises that only require items available around the house: toothpicks, gumdrops, paper (assorted colors), string, pencil, tape … and, of course, a curious kid with a bit of parental assistance, when needed.

Along the way, an interesting vocabulary will grow: octahedron, dodecahedron, Mobius, parabola, fractal — and one can learn the ancient game of Nim. The book grew out of an after-

school STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) center the authors helped to build. Illustrations are colorful and projects are clearly explained, step by step. It would definitely be best to begin at the beginning and work up to the more complex shapes later, no matter how swell they look — followed by puzzles and games.

With colored chalk, a broom and string, one can draw giant circles and ellipses on a sidewalk or driveway — and perhaps create a game or grand design. With a needle and colored thread, one can stitch parabolas into elaborate stars. With colored paper, scissors, ruler and a triangle template you have made previously, you can build a complex Sierpinski Triangle.

At the back of the book, there is also a pattern for Tangrams, which can offer endless diversion. With each lab is a section of instructions, colorful illustration and, sometimes, a “Think About It” phrase and/or a related activity.

A 6-year-old will almost certainly need a patient assistant, while an older child, with adequate motor skills, will be able to follow directions leading to some really sophisticated and beautiful shapes — both flat and three-dimensional — as well as a collection of new

games to share with friends.

The authors express the thought early on that “Real math is so much more about curiosity and experimentation than most people realize.” Some additional resources and their website are included as well, as kids learn to play with math.

“Math Lab” is a large, sturdy trade paperback book, published

by Quarto Publishing’s Quarry Books division. ($24.99)

PHO FROM PAGE 14

For American customers like Chad Baker, of Aurora, the connection may not be as personal, but the personality of the cooks comes through in the taste.

“Every kitchen has its own flavor, every restaurant does its own thing,” Baker, who’s been a pho fan for four or five years, says.

“Every place has a different broth,” says Baker’s table mate, Nicole Nicholas of Highlands Ranch.

Being able to customize her dish with basil, lime, jalapeno or sauces available is another plus.

“I like that you can do your own thing with it,” she says.

Littleton’s Janie Salazar says that that versatility makes pho the perfect option for a family. She and her husband bring their children to Pho Real so everybody gets what they want out of the meal.

“There’s so many things you can throw in it,” Salazar says. “Everyone in the family customizes it, and the kids feel like they’re making their own soup.”

A remedy for what ails you Salazar adds that knowing pho is made with fresh, healthy ingredients makes her feel good about what she’s feeding her family, a selling point not lost on other pho lovers who rely on the dish as a remedy for whatever ails them.

Customers tell the Nguyens they rely on a hot bowl of pho to get them over the flu, a cold or the occasional hangover.

“We hear it all,” Sue says. “I love that pho is becoming the next chicken noodle soup.”

Monica Baruth likes to bring her 24-year-old daughter, Lindsay, with her when she visits Pho Real, especially when one of them is under the weather.

“It’s like you’re eating your medicine,” Monica says, pointing with her chopsticks at the vibrant vegetables floating atop her bowl of broth.

“It’s hydrating as well,” Lindsay says. “I love the freshness of it, it’s hearty and it makes your soul feel good.”

That warm, full feeling is what keeps customers coming back, Wong says, healthy or sick, rain or shine or snow.

“It’s a comfort food. You get filled up but it’s easy to digest,” he says.

“It’s also really comforting to have a hot bowl of soup on a cold morning.”

“I check the weather report every night,” he adds with a smile.

As they begin to prepare an entrée for Popylisen, before he can order it, Sue and Ally insist they’d be making pho the same way they always have even if they didn’t have a restaurant.

It’s comfort food for them too, after all.

“We’re eating this every day,” Sue says.

Ally agrees.

“We’re making it as much for us as we are for them.”

DOULAS FROM PAGE 13

“That sense of the unknown will be less if I’ll be able to turn to someone and say `what is going on?’ I think it will be helpful to have that peace of mind.”

The most recent numbers seem to validate da Cunha’s hope.

A 2011 study by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other women’s health groups show mothers who use doulas spend less time in labor, use pain medication such as epidurals less often, have fewer cesarean sections and are significantly less likely to report a negative birthing experience.

“It was never a new idea,” says Penny Lyon, a trainer with DONA. “It goes back to Biblical times.”

A movement began in the United States in the 1970s to improve support for women as studies showed women were less fearful if they had someone to take care of them during labor, Lyons says.

“We were just women supporting women having babies,” she says. “I think we were called hippies at that time.”

Sarah Lopez volunteers for Denver Health’s volunteer doula program as well as owning her own practice. She’s helped more than a dozen women deliver babies, including Grovo. Like Lyon, she sees acceptance of doulas coming full circle.

“There was this time when the

whole village labored together,” she says. “Now we’re circling back to that.”

After having her first child without the aid of a doula, Grovo says her second delivery was more relaxed.

She, her husband and Lopez laid out a plan long before her labor pains started, leaving her fewer decisions to make on the spot.

“It’s just too much,” she says.

“It was nice to tell Sarah (what we wanted) and then go and relax and let my body do the work.”

Now, Grovo hopes to provide that same peace of mind for da Cunha.

She’ll deal with the details so da Cunha can focus on what she needs to do.

“You’re running a marathon,” Grovo says. “You don’t need to be worrying about those other things.”

Denise Grovo, standing, explains different massage techniques she may use to help her client, Lauren da Cunha, deal with labor pain. Doulas like Grovo routinely use massage, aromatherapy, guided exercise and other techniques to help mothers in childbirth deal with the pain and stress of childbrirth.

Highlands Ranch resident joins mental health board Diane Simard brings helpful perspective to nonprofit agency

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Highlands Ranch resident has joined the board of directors of Mental Health Colorado, a nonprofit organization devoted to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders.

Diane Simard brings a new perspec-

tive, a media release from Mental Health Colorado says.

During her treatment for stage 3 breast cancer in 2015, Simard found there were no graduatelevel psychology training programs in the U.S. that focused on cancer patients. Simard’s medical professionals encouraged her to attend breast canSimard cer support group meetings, but she cringed at the thought of sharing her thoughts and feelings with a crowd, she wrote in a biography on the University of Denver’s website.

ine Guide Traveling Vineyard W ns to join my team: orite reaso Here are some of my fav

• No inventory wledge necessary • NO experience or prior kno • Paid 3 times a month t • Lots of training and suppor to book y eas t rke ma ted • Not a satura wine guides h wit s hip nds frie me eso • Aw wines • Amazing and affordable

“I felt an overwhelming need to positively channel my experience and was determined to find out why so little emphasis is placed on the psychological aspect of cancer,” Simard wrote.

As a result of her experience, Simard founded the Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence (COPE) at the University of Denver. The program, started in 2016, offers graduate-level coursework to doctoral students in DU’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology. COPE serves as a hub for research and evaluation on the psychological, social and emotional impact of cancer, COPE’s website says.

Simard also serves as senior vice president and is on the board of directors of Bye Aerospace, a solar-electric aircraft company based near Denver.

As a Mental Health Colorado board director, Simard wants to further her interest in integrated health care and individualized mental health care for cancer treatment plans.

“I want to put myself out there to talk about cancer and the fact that it’s OK to talk about mental health care in conjunction with cancer,” Simard said in the media release. “It’s connecting myself to policy to understand insurance, talk to experts…

This is personal to me.”

by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice demands “very specific vocal and musical restraints — a really excellent singer,” said Gina Rattan, director of the musical that will command Lone Tree Arts Center’s main stage from April 12 (preview) to April 29. We spoke on March 16, first day of rehearsal, after her flight from New York City was delayed a day by weather.

The lead actress “must inhabit the character,” Rattan continued, explaining that she and choreographer Sarah O’Gleby flew out to Denver for auditions, in addition to attending New York auditions. “There are a lot of moving parts.”

We spoke on the afternoon of March 16, first day of rehearsal. Rattan said the cast had seen a design presentation, heard about historic context, viewed a set model and costume concepts. “With a musical, everyone has to learn (the music) … The first day is devoted to music learning.”

In 2014, Rattan and O’Gleby visited Argentina and found that Eva Peron’s presence and legacy are still prevalent.

“Eva and Juan Peron are credited with giving a voice to the working class — in hospitals, labor unions, orphanages.”

“Evita” is one of Rattan’s favorite shows. “The complicated protagonist is female … she’s not oversimplified, she presents a real person,” Rattan said.

“It’s a very political show, but it doesn’t play out like a history lesson. All the characters are so passionate and involved in the politics of the show. And that’s not exaggerated — the people of Argentina are really like that!

“We hired the musicians here,” she said, adding that the lead singer, local actor Laura Shealy, is an accomplished vocalist. New York actors will play the

New York-based director Gina Rattan will direct the production of “Evita,”

by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, at Lone Tree Arts Center April 13 to 29.

IF YOU GO “EVITA” runs from April 12-29 (preview April 12) at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets: $35-$70. Check availability online: LoneTreeArtsCenter.org, for desired date and time, or call the box office, 720-509-1000.

(Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) male leads: Miles Jacoby (Che) and Jesse Sharp (Juan Peron).

Experienced director Rattan directed the second national tour of “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella” and was associate director of that show on Broadway, as well as associate director of “Matilda, the Musical” and “Billy Elliott” on Broadway.

This is her first time working at Lone Tree, she said. “It’s a great experience, with the whole team very professional.

What’s really unique are the fascinating characters, presenting a complicated female protagonist. The character of Che is an outside voice. He describes the woman in the public eye …”

Michael Duran is designing the set and a nine-piece band will play from the orchestra pit, led by music director Max Mamon.

Lone Tree annexes CU South Denver Campus previously was in unincorporated area

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree has officially brought an institution of higher education into the city.

After a series of hearings and meetings following a Jan. 10 request by the University of Colorado South Denver to be annexed into the city, the city council passed an ordinance March 21 that brought the school into the fold.

“We are very honored to be a part of Lone Tree’s family,” said Luella Chavez D’Angelo, the University of Colorado’s vice chancellor for enterprise development. The ordinance goes into effect April 20.

“This is exciting and important to the city,” Lone Tree Economic Development Director Jeff Holwell said.

“They are a great partner and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

Previously a part of unincorporated Douglas County with a Parker mailing address, the CU South Denver annexation into the city was a strategic move for both the school and Lone Tree,

D’Angelo said.

For starters, D’Angelo emphasized, the CU South Denver location, 10035 S. Peoria St., is an institution for lifelong learners of all ages.

The location is formerly The Wildlife Experience museum. It is home to educational programming for CU students, community events, classes and programming for non-students and a museum incorporating both pieces of art and parts of the former Wildlife Experience exhibits.

D’Angelo said the school is looking forward to working with Lone Tree’s developing RidgeGate community east of I-25.

“There are going to be 1,200 singlefamily homes right in our back yard,” D’Angelo said. “How exciting is it that we will be able to be the educational partner to those families?”

For the most part, CU South Denver serves students south of Hampden Avenue and north of Castle Rock.

The location merges professors from the campuses in Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs.

D’Angelo said public transportation will benefit the students. The Regional Transportation District’s Southeast Rail Expansion will put the Lone Tree City Center light rail station a mile away from the campus by 2019.

For crew chiefs, it’s life in the fast lane

C

ole Pearn and Chris Gayle feel right at home in Golden, but neither is home very often.

Both are crew chiefs for Denver’s NASCAR Furniture Row RacOVERTIME ing teams.

Pearn is in his second season as crew chief for the No. 78 team and driver Martin Truex Jr. Truex, who won March 12 in Las Vegas, is third in driver points and has a series-leading eight Jim Benton playoff bonus points following the March 26 Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California.

Gayle is the crew chief for the No. 77 and rookie driver Erik Jones, for the second FRR team. Jones is 15th in the point standings.

Pearn and his family moved from North Carolina to the Denver area before the start of the 2016 season. They are embracing the Colorado lifestyle, but it’s not always easy.

“It’s hard being away,” said Pearn, a native of London, Ontario, who plays hockey in an area league and skis during the offseason. “I’ve got two young kids (Callum and Freya), so it’s hard on my wife (Carrie)… We just do the best

we can with it, but it’s a challenge.”

On most NASCAR weeks when races are on Sundays, the FRR teams return to Denver after the race Sunday evening and depart on Thursday for the next track Gayle, along with his wife Brandi and 2-year-old daughter Cora, moved to Golden from North Carolina on Nov. 30, 2016.

“I moved out (here) and three days later it dumped 9 inches of snow and it was like 4 degrees for a high for two straight days,” Gayle. “I was like, ‘whew, this is more than I expected,’ but then three days later it was 50 degrees and all the snow was gone. It’s nice and sunny and I like that.”

American football in Italy Football is the most popular sport in Italy, but in America that sport is called soccer.

Castle View senior Riese Lutz is part of the American Football Worldwide USA Elite 19U team that will tour Italy April 15-22 and will play a game of American football on April 22 in Milan against the Italian National U19 team.

The Italian team gets together a couple times a year to train and compete against other national European SEE BENTON, P31

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Meg Hanson, lacrosse, junior, Arapahoe: She had four goals as the Warriors had 10 different players score in a 20-3 win over Evergreen on March 20.

Jordan Medina, baseball, junior, Highlands Ranch: He went 4-for-4 with a home run and double, drove in five runs and stole a base as the Falcons opened play March 21 in the Pride Classic Tournament with an 18-0 win over Scottsdale Christian Academy.

Case Williams, baseball, freshman, Douglas County: Williams allowed just

one hit and struck out nine batters in a four-inning stint during the Huskies’ 5-0 win over Highland of Palmdale, California, on March 21.

Jacob Dack, track, senior, Lutheran: Dack won the shot put (52-00.25) and discus (136-03.00) on March 23 at the Denver South Rebel Invitational.

Logan O’Neill, baseball, senior, Rock Canyon: O’Neill went 3-for-3, scored three runs, stole a base and had five runs batted in as the Jaguars beat Valley Vista of Surprise, Arizona, on March 22.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five 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

You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed which alleges that the above-named child is dependent or neglected as per the facts set forth in the Dependency and Neglect Petition, a copy of which may be obtained at the office of R. LeeAnn Reigrut, at the above address.

A PERMANENCY PLANNING HEARING has been set for May 22, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., in Division 7, Douglas County District Court, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109.

Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition.
