Dinosaur fossils found in Highlands Ranch Bones beneath construction site appear to be triceratops, researchers say

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A dinosaur that once roamed what is now Highlands Ranch met the open air for the first time in more than 66 million years, after a construction crew discovered its bones at a construction site in mid-May. A crew from Brinkmann Constructors building an expansion onto the Wind Crest retirement community near C-470 and Santa Fe Drive happened upon the fossilized bones, said Salvador Bastien, a fossil preparator with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

“We’re really excited they realized they were hitting bones,” Bastien said. “Lots of times, people don’t notice, or if they do, they just keep going.”

Construction crews working on private property in Colorado are under no obligation to notify anyone or halt work if they find fossils, Bastien said.

Volunteer crews led by paleontologists from the museum will excavate the site in coming weeks, Bastien

said, while construction work continues on other parts of the site. The site is not open to the public.

Though it’s a little early to say for sure, Bastien said the fossils appear to be from a triceratops, a threehorned herbivore that often grew to be 30 feet long and 10 feet tall. The fossils are from the late Cretaceous era, and are likely 66 million to 68 million years old. Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago.

Triceratops are among the more common dinosaurs found in what’s called the Denver Formation, Bastien said. The formation was once a broad, forested river system, and triceratops appear to have been plentiful.

“Think of them like bison roaming the landscape,” Bastien said.

How the find will contribute to the scientific record depends on what researchers uncover, Bastien said.

“We don’t have X-ray vision, so we don’t know what else is lying in that hillside,” he said. So far, crews have found arm bones, ribs, and what may be skull bones.

Colorado’s Front Range is rich with fossils, Bastien said, because the geologic uplift that pushed the Rocky Mountains above ground cracked open layers of sedimentary rock that once sat over them, providing remarkable cross-sections of geologic history.

“It’s a really exciting place to be if you’re a paleontologist,” Bastien said.

DCSD takes issue with commissioners’ safety-funding proposal Neither of the two sides wants to give up control to the other

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tensions flared in a Douglas County Board of Commissioners meeting as commissioners voted to allocate $13.3 million toward school safety initiatives amid pushback from the Douglas County School District, which called the plan hasty, and members of the public who decried commissioners’ intent to offer public funds to private schools as unconstitutional.

The May 28 meeting fell exactly three weeks after the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. Two suspects are accused of killing 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo and injuring eight other students.

The tragedy spurred the commissioners’ decision to offer funding toward school security.

In their plan laid out on May 28, commissioners seek to increase school security by helping fund 61 schools resource officers in the county by the 2021-22 school year.

That would be up from the 11 SROs in the county today.

The total cost of funding 61 SROs is estimated at $6 million. Douglas County has pledged an ongoing $3 million,

I

which is contingent on a 50% annual match from schools in the county. The money is open to traditional public schools, as well as charter and private schools.

School district officials said next year’s budget has already been set, making it difficult to match the funding.

If funded, the county proposes adding 31 SROs in the 2019-20 school year, 11 in 2020-21 and eight in 2021-22.

Commissioners also passed resolutions that establish committees to research how it will spend the largest chunk of the $13.3 million allocation: a one-time $10 million portion of county reserves.

One committee is a “Physical School Safety & Protection Funding Committee” and the other is a “Supportive Mental Health for Students Funding Committee.”

School district officials, including Superintendent Thomas Tucker and school board President David Ray, were skeptical of the committees.

On May 28, the district issued a news release criticizing the makeup of the committees, saying charter and private schools would have a disproportionate representation.

The district already has a safety and security committee in place, and the county’s committee would be “reinventing the wheel at best and will only promote randomness of solutions,” Ray said.

DCSD officials also requested commissioners stop discussing elements

of school safety procedures in the public eye, saying it could tip off potential attackers.

“Please do not continue to place our students in a vulnerable position,” Ray said.

Ray and Tucker echoed residents who spoke during public comment, saying giving public funds to private schools opens the county up to legal challenges.

District 1 Commissioner Abe Laydon said the board consulted with county legal staff before including private schools in their proposal and concluded it was within their purview.

Board Chairman Roger Partridge said he believes it is important the board of commissioners retain control of how the $13.3 million is spent.

“I don’t believe those who elected us said we want you to hand over your authority,” Partridge said.

The board of commissioners’ next step is to form the two committees.

Plans to dedicate the money swung into motion two weeks earlier.

On May 13, commissioners discussed allocating $10 million toward school safety through a one-time gift.

Possible ways to spend the money included entryway security and mental health programming.

A formal decision was not expected until May 28, but conversations continued in the meantime, including at a May 23 board of education study session.

Commissioners met with DCSD’s board of education during the study

session to discuss school security and how to spend the proposed $10 million. At that meeting, Ray said local officials need to work together to form a “clear vision of what is safety in schools.”

The school district’s May 28 news release, attributed to the board of education, detailed concerns with the board of commissioners’ offers. It said the district can only utilize funds from the county in ways the commissioners desire, “regardless of whether or not these goals are recommended by security experts or the DCSD Board of Education.”

The statement from the board thanked community members for supporting the passage of a mill levy override and bond issue in November 2018, saying the measures provided physical security improvements and 80 counselors beginning with the 201920 school year.

But it was clear the school board was not happy with the commissioners’ proposals.

“With respect, the Commissioners were not elected to make decisions for our students, staff and schools in DCSD,” the release states. “We would be grateful for monetary support, as well as support of any ballot initiatives (Mill Levy Override or Bond) in the future. It would be irresponsible, however, for our seven elected, volunteer board members to abdicate decision making responsibility for DCSD to the Douglas County Commissioners or any committees they may form.”

Easy Qualify Mortgages for Seniors on Fixed Income

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Two suspects not typical in school shootings Experts say social isolation among reasons solo acts of violence are more common

Law enforcement blocked all entrances to STEM School Highlands Ranch in the hours and days following the May 7 shooting.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Criminal and forensic psychology experts from the University of Denver and the University of Colorado-Boulder say there are typically warning signs that a young person needs intervention, and the case is true for perpetrators in school shootings.

Data and research into the people who carry out such attacks are growing with each incident. Forensic psychology professor Kimberly Gorgens, echoed by fellow DU professor and forensic psychology expert Apryl Alexander, said there was a unique element to the May 7 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting that left Kendrick Castillo dead and eight other students wounded.

Devon Erickson, 18, and Alec McKinney, 16, were arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack.

“Most (incidents) are single shooters,” Gorgens said. “There is an even smaller number of two-perpetrator circumstances.”

The Columbine High School massacre serves as one example of the twosuspect scenario. On April 20, 1999, two students opened fire at the school, killing 13 people before killing them-

selves. More recently, two students at Mountain Vista High School were arrested in 2015 for plotting to attack their school. The girls were sentenced in 2017 after pleading guilty to juvenile and adult charges.

Multiple suspects are less common because offenders are often socially isolated and experiencing rejection, Alexander said.

When more than one person is involved, she said, it’s usually because they hold similar ideologies and shared ideations over feeling rejected, feeling slighted by others, a sense of superiority or even a sense of having been betrayed.

“It could be that bonding of feeling as though they are outcasts or are different,” Alexander said. “When we see children or adolescents who are

socially isolated, they usually find anti-social peers.”

Examples of anti-social behaviors include violating curfew, skipping school and vandalizing property, Gorgens said. Warning signs also include changes in behavior.

About 78 percent of school shooters had a history of suicidal attempts or ideation, Alexander said. It’s common for them to self-harm. There may be overt or ambiguous writings on social media.

Beverly Kingston, director of the Center for Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado Boulder, said warnings signs that a school shooting is imminent could include a person stockpiling weapons, writing down plans or telling someone of his or her intentions.

Among school shooting attackers, 81 percent told someone about their plan and 93 percent exhibited strange behavior beforehand, said Kingston, citing a U.S. Secret Service report.

A guide produced by the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit examined strategies for conducting threat assessments and preventing targeted acts of violence, such as school shootings or public figure assassinations.

Targeted acts of violence incite fear because they feel random, the report says, leaving the public wondering if they are safe at any given time.

The report was compiled after a 2015 symposium that gathered experts in law enforcement, mental health, academia and other people involved in threat assessment to discuss “the active shooter phenomenon.”

The guide notes, as Gorgens also mentioned, that the base rate for targeted violence remains low but is increasing and has a high impact on those involved.

“That said, this guide was not written to highlight statistics and probabilities. It was written because these incidents are horrific, wrenching, and may be preventable,” the guide says.

Trauma and grief for a community impacted by a school shooting “is really profound,” Gorgens said.

“And for the larger Colorado community there is an element of really raw, vicarious trauma,” she said, “and we wear our trauma, our school shooting trauma, on our sleeve.”

‘Be a good person’ Mountain Vista High School graduation

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

ith 566 students earning diplomas, this year’s graduating class at Mountain Vista High School was the largest to date.

The weather at the May 22 commencement ceremony at Red Rocks Amphitheatre quickly changed from just cloudy to light rain and brisk temperatures, forcing grads to cover up in clear ponchos.

Hundreds of guests seated behind them did the same, many holding umbrellas.

Gray skies didn’t put a damper on the ceremony, which was filled with mes-

sages of encouragement and advice for success.

Samantha Bowles, the honored senior, thanked her classmates for always treating her with acceptance and kindness. Bowles has special needs.

“It was you who made people feel that their differences, challenges and different traits were accepted in the community at Mountain Vista,” Bowles said.

“Continue as you go out into the world…

Be a good person.”

Quinn Kamberos, also an honored senior, asked graduates to go home that evening and think about what success looks like for them.

“The idea that there is one definition of success is inherently flawed,” Kamberos said. “What’s important to you? What kind of impression, what kind of impact, do you want to make in this world?”

ock Canyon High School math teacher Tony Koy had a simple charge for the Class of 2019: “Do something.”

Koy, who delivered the annual charge to the class, encouraged the graduates to take advantage of the time they have now.

“Two simple words that will be the main ingredient behind just about everything you do as a success or a failure in your life,” Koy said. “What you do isn’t necessarily important. It’s the fact you set your mind to do something, and then you do it.”

A total of 556 Rock Canyon graduates received their diplomas May 24 at Magness Arena at the University of Denver.

Abigail McLain performed “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” Joshua Nogajewski played “Return to the Heart,” and Isabel Weiss finished with “The Light That Never Fails.”

Mikayla Devin delivered an address on facing challenges of high school.

“Even when things may seem impossible, continue to lead with your head, act with your heart and find the courage to do the right thing,” Devin said. “Be kind, humble…and never give up on your dreams.”

Mansion volunteers have a history of their own Paul and Sandy Chamberlin spent years traveling country

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n Tuesdays, you’ll find Paul and Sandy Chamberlin at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, a historic icon nestled among homes in central Highlands Ranch.

Sandy guides tours; Paul, nicknamed “the sheriff ” for keeping everyone in line, greets guests at the door.

Together, the two put in 482 hours of volunteer time in 2018, setting a new record.

“They are the most dedicated volunteers that we have,” said Susie Appleby, volunteer coordinator at the mansion, 9950 E Gateway Drive.

Paul and Sandy will have been married 54 years in June. Both Denver natives, a friend introduced them. They have two sons — one lives in Parker, the other in Carbondale, a small mountain town.

In 2000, Paul and Sandy decided it was time for a change. Both of their parents had passed away and they had always wanted to travel. So they bought an RV and spent the next six years exploring the country by mo-

Prior to volunteering at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, Paul and Sandy Chamberlin worked at Walt Disney World during the holiday season. They loved being around the kids, they said.

COURTESY PHOTO torhome. Excluding those northeast of Pennsylvania, they hit every state.

“I can’t say that I had a favorite place,” said Sandy, 74. “It was all very interesting and more people should be able to do that.”

Before tax season — Paul is a tax accountant who once worked as the Denver Broncos’ stadium announcer — they would come back to Denver and stay through their granddaughter’s birthday. Then, they’d do it all over again.

Paul and Sandy loved the charm of the small towns they passed through.

Oregon and Washington topped their list of favorite places, they said. The history buffs spent time in museums and mingled with locals.

“We met a lot of neat people,” Paul, 75, said. “We would try to stay off of the interstates.”

The tight living quarters weren’t an issue for the couple, they said. Nor was weather, though they do recall one instance of being chased by a storm

and tornado near Florida. They spent much of their time in RV parks, which had a strong sense of community.

“If you didn’t like your neighbor, one of you was going to move before long,” said Paul, who is known around the mansion for his good-natured banter.

After six years on the road, Sandy was ready to have a home and Paul was ready to have his office back. The two settled down in Highlands Ranch in 2006.

Four years later, they found a new passion. For two years they spent the holiday season in Orlando working in special events at Walt Disney World.

Friends they met through RV clubs told them about the gig.

“Our first job was selling hot dogs,” Paul said. “We loved working at Magic Kingdom because of all the children.”

In 2013, they found a hobby closer to home. Sandy attended Highlands Ranch Days, a popular summertime celebration at the mansion, and fell in love. She became one of the first docents to lead tours and the following year Paul came on board as a greeter.

What they enjoy most is uncovering new findings and hearing new stories about the building, which is more than 100 years old.

“I was completely enthralled,” Sandy said. “Everything changes in the mansion.”

Resentencing means parole possible for man who killed as teen After state Supreme Court ruling, Erik Jensen could be released in about 20 years

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A man who was convicted of helping to kill his friend’s mother in Highlands Ranch in 1998 spoke in court after his friends, parents and defense attorneys painted a detailed picture of the strides the inmate has made to lead a positive life.

“I sat 3 feet away from someone who was dying, Jensen 3 feet away from her, and I didn’t save her,” said Erik Jensen, now 38, who added he at one time glossed over the seriousness of the crime. “I have to add value to the life that Julie Ybanez had.”

In the Douglas County District Court hearing on May 22, a judge decided Jensen, who was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1999, would be resentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 40 years.

The crime was committed when Jensen was 17.

The sentence is still considered as starting in 1999, so Jensen is about 20 years from possible release.

Nathan Ybanez was convicted of

killing his mother in her apartment, with Jensen, at age 16, and Ybanez has said his parents emotionally, physically and sexually abused him.

Former Gov. John Hickenlooper granted him a commutation that makes him eligible for parole in December 2020, citing Ybanez’s positive conduct as an inmate.

But Jensen didn’t receive that chance at freedom, said Peter Sauer, one of his defense attorneys.

Sauer and other speakers at the hearing in Castle Rock knew that the court only had one option — the sentence it gave May 22 was mandatory based on a 2018 Colorado Supreme Court ruling that upheld a law allowing judges to reduce life sentences without parole for inmates who committed crimes as juveniles.

But they still presented an overarching message that the state Legislature should give judges the discretion to be even more lenient for those who offend as juveniles.

“I stand here for no other reason than that I believe that Erik deserves a second chance,” Sauer said. “You can count me as another Coloradan that would welcome Erik into my community because he would make it better.”

A case manager in the state Department of Corrections, Bryan Milburn, testified at the hearing that Jensen’s last violation of the code of penal conduct — rules inmates must follow — was in 2002.

The defense ran through a laundry

‘I sat 3 feet away from someone who was dying, 3 feet away from her, and I didn’t save her.

I have to add value to the life that Julie Ybanez had.’

Erik Jensen, convicted of killing his friend’s mother, in a district court hearing May 22

list of examples of Jensen’s character in prison: He’s one of the few inmates at his Limon facility who helps new correctional officers get acclimated.

He earned a trainer certification for CrossFit, which has helped bring inmates together across differences.

He’s a peer assistant who helps when inmates have mental health chal-

lenges. He’s “a positive leader in the prison community,” Sauer said.

“The arc of his juvenile development is entirely consistent with what we know about the juvenile brain,” Sauer said. “And that is why one act cannot require a juvenile to be locked up for the rest of their lives.”

Erik Jensen told the court he tries to help people because he wants “the value of Julie’s life” to continue through him. He espoused lofty ideals about the value of a people’s lives continuing after they die, about holding each other accountable and “really, really loving each other.”

“I want to be a part of that,” Jensen said, audibly emotional at times during his address.

Curtis Jensen, Erik’s father, said May 22 was the first time the family has been able to speak in court about its son. He spoke along with Patricia, his mother. Curtis Jensen has pushed for change in juvenile sentencing at the Legislature, he told the court.

Judge Theresa Slade said that while she had no choice in what sentence to give, the decision isn’t meant to downplay the importance of Jensen’s positive actions.

“If I were the (original) sentencing judge, and you had come back before me today, I would say I’m proud of you,” Slade said.

She handed down the new sentence and stipulated he gets 345 days credit for time served before his 1999 sentence.

“Good luck, Mr. Jensen,” she said.

The three-week intensive course is an invitation-only, multi-service training including active duty, reserve, and National Guard judge candidates from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

The Colorado General Assembly in 2018 updated the Colorado Code

of Military Justice to provide for courts-martial authority, necessitating the creation of a position of military judge.

Brauchler will be the first military judge for the Colorado National Guard, the release said. He also has been selected for Army War College, a military education prerequisite to greater potential leadership opportunities, the release said.

Brauchler is proud of his military service and strives to encourage others to serve.

Three members of his office are on active duty, with five others actively drilling in the guard or reserve, the release said.

The U.S. Department of Defense in 2017 honored the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office with the Freedom Award for support of employees who serve in the guard and reserve.

It is the first district attorney’s office in the country to receive the award.

“It has been a tremendous honor to serve my country and the citizens of Colorado, here and abroad, in uniform for my adult life,” Brauchler said in the release. “I am humbled to be selected as a military judge to ensure that those in service are afforded due process when accused of criminal behavior.”

Noise impact of altered flight paths to be mostly small, FAA says Re-routing to be minimal in south metro area, according to plans

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Despite concerns raised by local officials, a federal plan to reroute airplane traffic is expected to only cause small changes in south metro-area noise — much of which will be small decreases, according to the federal government’s analysis.

What’s more, the substantial changes in flight paths traveling to Centennial Airport only would involve about eight flights per day, according to a May 7 presentation the Federal Aviation Administration held in Centennial.

The FAA’s NextGen project — an effort to increase safety and efficiency of air transportation across the country — began in 2007 and is expected to be largely in place by 2025. The FAA tags it as “one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in U.S. history.”

Locally, the NextGen Denver Metroplex project aims to optimize arrival and departure at airports including Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and some others. The rub in the south suburbs is a possible moving of a flight corridor that could run above the areas of Littleton, Englewood and Cherry Hills Village, for example.

STILL TIME TO GIVE INPUT A link to the draft of the Federal Aviation Administration study — or the “environmental assessment” — is located at www.metroplexenvironmental. com/denver_metroplex/denver_docs.html, under the heading “draft EA main document.”

The FAA held 12 public meetings, mostly in the Denver metro area, at which FAA representatives answered questions about the project and took written

comments. Those ran from April 29 to May 16.

It’s possible the environmental review could be modified, and the FAA may learn something it doesn’t know through the public’s comments, said Marina Landis, an FAA environmental protection specialist.

Online and physical mail options are still available for those who want to comment through June 6. You can submit com-

But that new path — called BRNKO in the FAA’s lingo and pronounced “Bronco” — only entails about six flights per day on average that would be moved from the older corridor, according to the FAA. About two daily would use a nearby route that ends up over the same south-metro area.

Centennial Airport sees about 1,055 daily takeoffs and landings combined, according to the FAA. Not much change, FAA says Because most proposed flight paths closely follow what’s being flown today, the only notable flight-path changes around Centennial Airport are the PINNR and BRNKO routes, said Adam Kuklin, a design team member on the Denver Metroplex project.

“With PINNR, they’re coming this way anyway,” Kuklin said, referring to a proposed route that travels south, roughly above Interstate 25, starting

ments online at www.faa.gov/ nextgen/nextgen_near_you/ community_involvement/den/ community_comments/.

You can submit comments by physical mail to: Denver Metroplex Draft EA, Federal Aviation Administration, Western Service Center - Operations Support Group, 2200 S. 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198-6547 The study can also be viewed

around Greeley and turning southeast over the Denver area.

The BRNKO route would take arrivals from the northeast that currently stay east of I-25 and move them farther north, joining up with PINNR near Greeley and traveling in that same corridor as flights move south.

Flights today already travel along roughly the same corridor as PINNR’s would once in the Denver area, and proposed flight paths would come in at the same altitude as today, Kuklin said.

The concentration — how close together the flights are over time — will be largely unchanged, according to the FAA. North of Interstate 70, the PINNR corridor’s estimated 12 flights per day could be more concentrated, but coming toward Centennial Airport, paths will be similar to what they are today, said Allen Kenitzer, FAA spokesman.

The FAA’s map shows a potential area over which BRNKO flights can

electronically at 77 libraries in the airport areas. A list of libraries is available online at the first web link above, under the heading “draft EA public notice.”

The potential airports affected are Centennial Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in the Broomfield area, Denver International Airport, Northern Colorado Regional Airport in Loveland and Greeley-Weld County Airport.

spread out that covers parts of Englewood, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and Centennial.

“Current dispersion is close to what you’ll see a year from now,” Kuklin said.

And once BRNKO flights cross the City of Denver border into Arapahoe County cities, its flights largely cover the same areas as current routes do, according to FAA maps.

Noise impact to be small The plan, which has riled up mayors in the south metro area, is expected to have “no significant impacts” on noise, air quality, wildlife or historic and cultural resources, according to the FAA’s own analysis.

That’s based on a draft of a report by the FAA dated April 22, called an environmental assessment.

A question to Sheriff Spurlock: How will the confiscation of the guns safely occur when law enforcement visits the home of the high-risk person to remove the guns? Wouldn’t this actually put law enforcement at the HIGHEST RISK POSSIBLE? Sheriff Spurlock answered this question in a legislative open session by saying: Law enforcement would wait until the high-risk person had left their premises to “get some Cheetos,” then law enforcement would apprehend that person.

That sounds easy enough and quite safe!

However, if patience for gun removal is the strategy, why did Zack Parrish try to enter his killer’s apartment, instead of waiting for him to “go get some Cheetos”?

According to multiple published reports: • The sheriff ’s office knew the situation was “high risk” for deputies.

• The sheriff ’s office knew the shooter had guns!

• The sheriff office knew cameras in the apartment hallways could possibly be a tactical advantage to the suspect!

Sheriff Spurlock, why would you (your department) not wait to let the shooter “get some Cheetos” and then apprehend him instead of an attempt at forced entry?

County needs this school On June 4, the DCSD Board of Education will vote to consider a new charter proposal called the John Dewey Institute (JDI).

Unlike any current charter school in Douglas County, JDI was designed specifically to meet the needs of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

At least 50% of JDI students are on the spectrum, including 15% who are twice exceptional (2E), which means they are gifted as well as have a disability.

The other 50% are traditional learners.

There are many unique features at JDI which make the school attractive to all students, including the projectbased learning (PBL) model with science, technology, engineering, arts and math, plus business (STEAM +B) curriculum with an emphasis on career and technical classes (C/T), such as automotive tech, engineering, culinary arts, med tech, aviation tech, etc.

The C/T classes are available for all DCSD students, including those from five surrounding counties.

Additionally, in February 2018, a DCSD family of a child with autism sued DCSD and after several appeals, they prevailed against DougCo Schools and won a lawsuit against DCSD. Now precedence has been set for providing students on the autism spectrum a free and appropriate public education. This case will help JDI receive charter approval.

For more information, please attend a parent/community information meeting at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 30 at the Lone Tree Library.

To sign a confidential, non-binding Expression of Interest, please visit the JDI website at: https://johndeweyinstitute.org/ Our vision is to provide equal opportunities for all students – including those on the autism spectrum.

or Andrea Rayford and her husband, a food truck was the best means to reach their overall goal of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant.

“It was basically a lot cheaper to start a food truck,” she said.

Traditional restaurants often come “with a pretty hefty lease,” she said. So, when her chef husband, Jessie, wanted to open his own place, the Parker couple found a food truck on Craigslist, spent six months fixing it up and started working at the local farmers market.

Eventually, the couple started getting requests from breweries or

FOOD TRUCKS: BY THE NUMBERS IBISWorld, a market research company, reports the food truck industry is “one of the best-performing segments in the broader food service sector.” The organization provides market research and analysis on industries worldwide.

It credits cities such as Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas, for crafting laws specially designed for mobile food trucks. One of the main attractions for consumers is the chance to get

corporate locations for their truck, Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA, to come to them. They dish up cajun food inspired by Jessie’s upbringing in New Orleans.

As business grew, they expanded their coverage area north, got licensed in Denver and began participating at Civic Center Eats.

The annual event gathers dozens of trucks in Denver’s Civic Center Park to serve lunch on certain days of the week.

“We were all over the place,” Rayford said. “That’s the great thing about a food truck.”

Today, the couple has that brickand-mortar shop — which shares its name with the food truck — in Centennial near Arapahoe High School.

gourmet cuisine at an affordable price, according to IBISWorld.

Here’s more on the industry, according to the company: • Total revenue generated by the food truck industry in the first three months of 2019 is $1 billion.

• There are 23,872 businesses in the food truck industry.

• The industry’s annual growth rate between 2014 and 2019 was 6.8 percent.

• The industry employs 28,916 people.

A booming industry Once branching into Denver, Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA joined the epicenter of the local food truck scene.

In the last six years the number of food trucks operating in the city has grown by 369 percent.

Excise and Licenses Director Ashley Kilroy, with the City and County of Denver, said approximately 700 food trucks were licensed in the city as of late May and they expected to reach 750 by the end of the summer.

While Denver’s food truck industry explodes, suburbs are taking note of that and the broader trend.

Nationally, the food truck industry had an annual revenue growth rate of nearly 7 percent in the past five years, according to IBISWorld, a market research company. In that same time, the number of businesses grew by 13 percent and the number of employees by 10 percent.

In Lakewood, there are 60 trucks licensed to operate, according to city spokeswoman Stacie Oulton. Officials there believe the trend is partially driven by diners who want customizable food choices.

Meridith Hatterman, food program coordinator for the Tri-County Health Department, said there were 258 licensed food trucks in Tri-County’s jurisdiction of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties as of early May. That’s an approximate 35 percent increase over the last five years.

With the local and national trends, the communities are eyeing entrepreneurial opportunities for residents, the potential boost to local economies and squaring up regulatory procedures for overseeing the roving eateries.

“Five, 10 years ago, food trucks were at construction sites,” said Pete Mangers, revenue manager for the Town of Castle Rock. “Now it’s the trendy thing to do.”

A handful of food trucks now gather along Wilcox Street in Castle Rock’s historic downtown over the lunch hour. The trend arrived in town roughly three years ago and spiked in the last 18 months, Mangers said.

Managing growth in Denver Lawrence Bowdish is the director of research and issue networks for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Corporate Citizen Center.

Bowdish said the food truck trend’s origin is often traced to 2008 and attributed to Los Angeles-based food truck Kogi Korean BBQ. The truck put Korean-style meat in Mexican tacos, parked outside a nightclub at night, tweeted its daytime locations and took home $2 million in sales it first year in operation.

“I think that kind of encouraged a lot of other food trucks to be in the space and do it in a way that was different than a rolling white cafeteria,” Bowdish said.

Immigrant groups seized food trucks as an opportunity to serve cuisines that “they knew, to an audience that maybe has never seen it before,” Bowdish said.

Established brick-and-mortar restaurants used them as a way to further their brand. And stories like Rayford’s are “quite common,” Bowdish said, where entrepreneurs use them as a stepping stone toward opening a permanent restaurant.

The U.S. Chamber’s 2018 study, Food Truck Nation, surveyed food truck owners across the country and evaluated regulatory burdens on the industry. The study’s Food Truck Nation index ranks cities on their friendliness toward food trucks.

Denver ranked No. 1 nationally for its ease of obtaining permits and licenses and No. 2, behind Portland, for its overall friendliness toward the industry. Bowdish said a more recent study has not been done.

“In Denver we’re proud of having had such a significant increase and that we’ve managed that growth,” Kilroy said. “We’re trying to be as business-friendly as we can.”

Kilroy said a work group comprising her department, the Denver Fire Department, Denver Department of Public Health and Environment, and Denver Department Public Works, among others, regularly reviews if city regulations are efficient.

The group holds a weekly, one-stopshop at the Denver Animal Shelter, where trucks can receive an inspection and get licensed “on the spot.”

There is also an annual symposium each spring, before the food truck industry’s busy season, to educate truck owners on the inspection and licensing process.

Keeping pace From the survey, the U.S. Chamber found Denver’s process to be straightforward and simple, Bowdish said.

“Operating a food truck in the suburbs wasn’t as clearly defined or laid out,” he said.

Food trucks must receive health inspections and be licensed to operate in the areas they go to. In places like the Denver metro area, where trucks can move from one community to the next with ease, it’s ideal for jurisdictions to work together to streamline the regulatory process, Bowdish said.

That way truck owners aren’t visiting numerous offices and filling out a large number of forms for each community.

“The chamber understands that it’s difficult to have multiple municipalities come together and come up with a joint system,” Bowdish said.

Eric Escudero, spokesman for Denver’s Excise and Licenses department, said Denver regularly gets calls from other jurisdictions and about the city’s regulations, and they hope to serve as a model for neighbors.

In Littleton, the city sees food trucks most often at local breweries or distilleries, places that don’t have kitchens. Littleton has about five city events that include food trucks.

Economic Development Director Denise Stephens said with food trucks’ popularity growing, the city is working across departments to form a pilot program that brings consistency in Littleton food truck policies.

“We are going to probably create a special food truck application and have them register with the city, and then we’re going to ask them to show us proof that they’re licensed with Tri-County (Health Department),” she said. “We want to attract the really good food purveyors and so we want the process to be pretty easy and not too expensive.”

Greg Pixley, spokesperson for the Denver Fire Department, said by email the department conducted 467 inspections during the one-stop-shop events at the Denver Animal Shelter in 2016.

That number nearly doubled by 2019. So far, Pixley said, the department has kept up with administrative demands, but they expect the industry will continue growing.

“DFD will need to expand its staffing to accomodate growth of the mobile food industry in the kiosk, standalone and truck areas across the metro area,” he said.

Hatterman said Tri-County has so far kept up with additional workloads that resulted from the food truck trend.

As to whether the trend will keep up or put more pressure on regulatory agencies, she’s not sure.

“It’s really hard without a crystal ball,” she said. “Sometimes there are trends that come and go, but when you look at the trucks and their ability to be mobile and go to different events, take advantage of different sites, I think it may be beneficial for some of those operators versus a brick and mortar.”

Bowdish said Denver is not threatened with a food truck overcrowding issue more than other cities, and of the two dozen Denver owners the chamber surveyed, only one felt there were too many trucks in the city.

School district boasts Boettcher, National Merit winners Five Douglas County students being recognized STAFF REPORT

Five students from Douglas County schools were named National Merit Scholars, and two more received Boettcher Scholarships.

The five Douglas County recipients of National Merit scholarship were chosen from more than 15,000 finalists, according to a news release. They will receive $2,500 scholarships.

NOISE FROM PAGE 10

The crowd at the May 7 meeting in a community room in Centennial’s Public Works Facility — one of several in the metro area where FAA representatives answered questions and took comments about the project — received more specific information with an interactive map program that showed the anticipated change in noise near any address.

Across the south metro area — near Englewood High School, South Platte Park Carson Nature Center in Littleton, Kent Denver School in Cherry Hills Village, and Cherry Creek State Park — average noise level was ex-

The recipients are Matthew Brown from ThunderRidge High School. Brown will pursue the biomedical engineering field.

Sonia Chu from Rock Canyon High School. Chu plans to study mathematics.

Dale Kim from Rock Canyon High School. Kim plans to pursue the biomedical engineering field.

Brian Ma from Mountain Vista High School. Ma plan to study medicine.

Michael Loomer from Chaparral High School. Loomer plans to study biochemistry.

More than 1.6 million students from 22,000 high schools entered the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Recipients of the National Merit college-sponsored scholarships will be announced in June and July.

Out of the nearly 1,500 Colorado students who applied for the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship, two were awarded from Douglas County, according to a news release.

Etash Kalra from Douglas County High School will attend the University of Colorado Anila Narayana from Rock Canyon High School will attend the University

of Colorado.

Boettcher scholars receive a fouryear scholarship that includes virtually all expenses to attend the Colorado school of their choice — full tuition, fees, a book allowance and an annual stipend for living expenses. Scholars are selected based on academics, service, leadership and character.

“The Boettcher Foundation invests in the promise of Colorado and the potential of Coloradans, and these students represent the very best of our state,” Katie Kramer, president and CEO of the Boettcher Foundation, said in the release.

pected to decrease by small amounts, as much as 0.3 decibels.

Across Centennial, noise also is expected to drop. Near The Streets at SouthGlenn outdoor mall, Castlewood Library, South Parker and East Arapahoe roads, and Smoky Hill Library, noise would decrease by as much as 0.8 decibels.

Near unincorporated Arapahoe County just south of Cherry Creek State Park — where residents report noise complaints in among the most concentrated numbers near Centennial Airport — noise would see essentially no change. Near East Alameda Avenue and Interstate 225 in central Aurora, noise would increase by 0.03 decibels.

South of Centennial Airport, noise could increase by up to 0.05 decibels in some Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch

regions, although some areas would see decreases.

Conversation in restaurants generally hovers around 60 decibels, according to a Purdue University chart. Upper70s levels are annoyingly loud to some people, the chart said. Only increases of 1.5 decibels or more in areas exposed to 65 decibels and up are considered to “exceed threshold of significance,” according to the study.

can go anywhere in the metro area where there’s not overflight.”

The FAA’s count May 7 of how many planes would arrive at Centennial Airport on different routes appeared to be the clearest picture yet of how the plan would affect the south metro area.

On the study, Centennial Airport is “still in the digestive mode,” said Deborah Grigsby Smith, airport spokeswoman.

The airport is in the process of asking the FAA for the raw data of the study, what the agency used to write the draft environmental assessment, Grigsby said.

“It’s an FAA initiative, not a Centennial Airport initiative,”’ Grigsby said.

“We feel it’s incumbent on our part to make sure we understand all parts before making any reactions.”

Officials watch cautiously Andrew Firestine, Centennial’s assistant city manager, noted that the BRNKO route is the proposed route that city staff is most concerned about.

But “when you look at air traffic in metro area, there’s traffic everywhere,” Firestine said at Centennial’s May 6 city council meeting. “I’m not sure you

through June 16 at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton.

Music kicked in promptly — in gangster Curtis’ nightclub, with “Take Me to Heaven.” Action also kicked in with a murder, witnessed by a group that included Curtis’ girlfriend, Las Vegas singer Deloris Van Cartier (Sheryl Renee). Local police, led by Lt. Eddie Souther (Ben Hilzer) — who remembers Deloris from high school days — immediately see the need for witness protection for Deloris, to keep her safe from gang reprisal …

What location could be safer than a quiet, disciplined convent?

We soon arrive at Queen of Angels Cathedral in San Francisco, where

stern Mother Superior (Maggie Lamb) is very much in charge of the convent and immediately clashes with brassy Deloris, who will henceforth be Sister Mary Clarence, named for the patron saint of prisoners … Deloris is a product of Catholic schools, but does not have happy memories of “those nasty old nuns.” And she’s accustomed to doing things her way, rather than taking orders.

On the other hand, “It’s Good to Be a Nun,” sings Sister Mary Martin-ofTours (Suzanne Nepi of Highlands Ranch, in her first Town Hall appearance), as the sisters gather to welcome the sassy singer.

Mother Superior tells her to pretty

much stay in her room, except for meals. Lamb sings “Within These Walls” and tries to maintain order within the order.

Then it occurs to her that perhaps the singer could help with the nuns’ choir, which sings badly at poorly attended Sunday services. She can help indeed — and soon the church is packed on Sundays — and we have a chance to get acquainted with the Monsignor (Brian Trampler), shy novice Sister Mary Robert (Bella Hawthorne) and more characters, including altar boys and additional singing, dancing nuns, cops and gangsters in a cast of 21 — a large cast for Town Hall’s limited stage space. (Blocking and choreography are very precisely planned!) There’s a contrast between the tough guys singing “Take Me to Heaven” and the nuns’ sweet rendition, which is fun. Watch for other amusing disparities.

Sheryl Renee pretty much commands the stage when she’s on and brings decades of experience. She makes it look easy! A career highlight for her is performing the national anthem for President Barack Obama.

And offstage, she is a children’s safety advocate and web designer. This is her first time to work with director Bob Wells — who is also a local legend.

While at Town Hall, visit the art exhibit, “Unorthodox Art,” featuring work by Danielle Quigley, Carmella Fogt and Gabrielle Gracine, which runs through June 16.

Parker Days ready for early June revelry Town’s big yearly blowout offers four days of fun

PARKER DAYS SCHEDULE Festival June 6 — 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. — Free Main Stage music, food and beverage, carnival, no vendor marketplace.

June 7 — 5 p.m. to midnight — Full festival June 8 — 9 a.m. to midnight — Full festival, with the Parker Days Parade launching the day at 9 a.m.

June 9 — 9 a.m. to midnight — Full festival

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

School is out, summer looms and Parker Days is just around the corner.

The 43rd annual carnival/music fest/beer fest/outdoor exposition will fill downtown Parker for four days starting June 6.

Parker Days is the town’s shining moment. It’s the jewel that some hear of before even learning of the Town of Parker itself. The event bends vacation schedules and quadruples the population of the town.

It’s like hosting a Denver Broncos football game in Parker, said Dennis Houston, the CEO of the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Parker Days is the best brochure we have for the Town of Parker and the people,” said Houston. “It gives the residents of Parker, it gives the people who maybe live in the city but grew up in a small town, a chance to hang out in a smaller community.”

And what makes them stay is nothing new: “Parker is either the hometown you grew up in or the one you wish you did,” Houston said.

Last year, Parker Days drew about 272,000 people over the course of the four-day festival, according to Houston. In 2013 that number was 125,000.

Carnival June 6 — 5 p.m. to midnight June 7 — 5 p.m. to midnight June 8 — 9 a.m. to midnight June 9 — 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

People file down Mainstreet in downtown Parker for last year’s Parker Days Festival.

With all-free concerts, a streamlined ticket system and tweaks and touchups to improve the colossal event, Houston hopes for the biggest crowd yet in 2019.

“We’ve doubled the footprint of Parker Days,” Houston said. “As the festival was growing in success and popularity from attendees, it has grown exponentially.”

One type of ticket will be universally used for the entire festival — including for rides, drinks and food. The music lineup is made up of tribute

bands hailed across the country. A “Nerf Turf ” area will be off to the side to help burn some leftover energy pelting strangers or family members with Nerf darts.

The massive exposition of more than 250 local businesses will include a mix of boutique and arts and crafts tents. A Girl Scout activity tent will be set up, where small kids and toddlers can create crafts. Of course, there’s the kettle corn, cotton candy, kids’ carnival and Carnival Hill, standard with any Parker Days.

Bringing you the local news, Bringing home the awards!

Vendor booths June 6 — Closed June 7 — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

June 8 — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

June 9 — 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“Just looking at the sheer size of it, any one component of the festival could be the festival,” Houston said.

“Regardless why you’re here — to ride the carnival rides or take in the sights or people watching — there’s something there for everybody.”

People will come from far and wide, Houston said, to visit Parker Days.

It’s a chance to show off everything Parker has to offer. It has become the crux of everything Parker advertises itself to be, Houston said.

“It’s kind of like going back in time.”

The Colorado

Community Media team brought home 50 awards at the Colorado Press Association’s 2019 award ceremony and 10 awards at the recent Society of Professional Journalists’ Top of the Rockies contest.

“Being recognized by our peers is validation of the quality work of our staff. I am proud to be associated with the team here, and our readers can expect more good things to come.”

Annual Littleton Fire Muster bigger and better this year Annual parade and demos to feature South Metro gear

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s annual Fire Muster will host some cool new gear this year, courtesy of South Metro Fire Rescue.

The annual fire truck parade and firefighting demonstration event on June 15 will feature rigs like South Metro’s tracked vehicle, a snowcat that was famously used to extract stranded drivers in March’s “bomb cyclone” blizzard.

South Metro’s high-tech gear will appear alongside organizer Mile High Hook & Ladder’s beloved antique firetrucks, according to a news release.

The parade, which will begin at 9 a.m. at Bannock Street and Littleton Boulevard, will be led by a 1914-vintage Federal Chemical Truck, which long served as a symbol of the nowdefunct Littleton Fire Rescue.

The parade, which includes firetrucks large and small, old and new from around the Denver metro area, will wind up in Arapahoe Community College’s north parking lot at 10 a.m.

CRUISER RACE

FREE EVENT!

IF YOU GO The 34th annual Fire Muster begins with a parade down Main Street in Littleton, beginning at Bannock Street and Littleton Boulevard at 9 a.m. June 15.

Firefighters and first responders will “muster” at Arapahoe Community College’s north parking lot at Church Avenue and Santa Fe Drive from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Visitors can get up close and personal with vehicles like the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office’s Mobile Command Post and Bearcat vehicles.

Activities include a Jaws of Life demonstration, chances to put on bunker gear and shoot firehoses, and a helicopter landing — circumstances permitting.

More than just fun, the event is a chance to educate people on fire safety, said Division Chief Jerry Rhodes, who is South Metro’s liaison to the event.

“If we can teach people to prevent fires and accidents, everybody’s a lot safer,” Rhodes said. “How often do you get to hang out with firefighters, check out their gear and ask questions?”

Event hosts are Mile High Hook & Ladder, which preserves firefighting history, and Schomp Automotive.

Elephant Rock cycling event back in county for another ride

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A more than 30-year-old cycling tradition rolls back into Douglas County in June. The massive Elephant Rock race, which brings thousands of cyclists to the area, kicks off in Castle Rock on June 1.

The event is based at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road. A bike expo runs on Saturday, June 1 as race participants register and check in.

The expo continues into race day, which is Sunday, June 2.

That’s when bikes hit the road. The event’s 100-mile race runs from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m., the 58-mile course from 6 to 7:30 a.m., a 60 and 27-mile gravel road course and a 40-mile road course run from 8 to 9 a.m. and a family ride begins at 9 a.m.

The expo, food truck service and beer garden continue into late afternoon and awards are at 3:30 p.m.

All courses close at 4 p.m. Routes have changed from previous events because of construction on Interstate 25. Interactive maps are available in the 2019 Ride Guide, posted on rollmassif.com.

The Bible Speaks – The Perfect Son “He was the perfect son”. No richer eulogy could be spoken than that uttered by Kendrick Castillo’s mother after the death of her son at the STEM Highlands Ranch School. It speaks of the love & joy that existed between parent & son which is a model for us all.

It also reminds us of another perfect Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God the Father called Him “My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased (Matt 17:5).

Jesus is the perfect Son because He shows us what God is like: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory & the exact representation of His being” (Heb 1:3). Most importantly, Jesus is the perfect Son because with joy He obeyed the Father by dying on the cross for our sins (Phil 2:8; Heb 12:2).
