Wanted: Volunteers to help children with disabilities learn to ride bikes iCan Bike Camp generates sense of independence and confidence among campers

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After attending iCan Bike Camp last summer, Kimberly Arnold’s 9-yearold daughter Addie, who has Down syndrome, can now ride her bike with other kids in her neighborhood.

“She’s a tough little girl,” said

HOW TO VOLUNTEER One hundred volunteers are needed for the June 12-16 iCan Bike Camp at Eastridge Recreation Center. To volunteer, register at HRCAonline.org/iCanBike-Vol. For more information, call 303-471-7043 or email summer.aden@hrcaonline.org.

Arnold. “Once we got her through her medical battles, she just wanted to be a little kid.”

Hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association Therapeutic Recreation Department, the weeklong

camp helps children with disabilities learn to ride a bike.

The achievement generates a sense of independence, assurance and selfreliance among campers. It helped Addie, who was born with heart and lung issues and battled cancer at 4 years old, feel like a kid.

“The opportunity for her to be out participating with peers and others who are equally able has been a fantastic experience,” Arnold said.

Volunteers make iCan Bike Camp possible, and 100 are needed for this year’s camp the week of June 12-16 at Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568

MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

LARISA KNAFELC-STASSI

Longtime resident and former metro district employee About me I was born and raised in Colorado — Littleton native. I lived in Conifer for a few years. My sister and I were competitive gymnasts and we moved from the mountains down to Littleton when I was in fifth grade.

I went to Heritage High School and moved to Highlands Ranch in 1986. I went to the University of New Mexico and then to University of Colorado-Denver for more undergraduate education.

When I moved to Highlands Ranch, it was the boonies. After high school parties, we would go to the Village Inn for dinner — it was the halfway point for my Highlands Ranch and Littleton friends.

There was a 7-Eleven, a hair salon, there was not a movie theater.

I was a stay-at-home mom while my kids were little. I currently work in retirement plan services for a large financial firm. I’m married and I have three kids, Jack, Eddie and Abby. They are amazing — I am blessed. I have so much fun telling them about how things have changed in the Ranch since I was their age. My parents live just down the road as well.

Early days of the metro district I was 18 when I started working at the Highlands Ranch Metro District. I

Larisa Knafelc-Stassi, right, and her sister, Alisa Knafelc, worked at the Highlands Ranch Metro District as teenagers. COURTESY PHOTO worked with my sister, Lisa. From my perspective, we made the parks sparkly.

My territory was Sante Fe to Quebec all along Highlands Ranch Parkway. I would weave in and out of the neighborhoods, pick up trash, clean the bathrooms and sweep the parks. I worked at Northridge Park cleaning and dragging the baseball diamond and marking the ballfield. I cleaned up the concession stand, planted flowers, fixed sprinkler heads.

Why I stayed in the community My family is here and all of my friends are here. People who are from this area tend to stay in this area and if they don’t stay initially, they always come back. It’s a desirable place to live.

Voters approved the Justice Center Sales Tax fund in 1995 to pay for a new county justice center to resolve issues concerning overcrowding and aging facilities.

UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital breaks ground

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officials from University of Colorado Hospital, Shea Properties, South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and Douglas County gathered at the Highlands Ranch development known as Central Park on May 24 to celebrate the groundbreaking of a 72-bed hospital.

“Every detail of this facility has been designed with patient care as the top priority so that we may provide the very best experience and best care for our patients,” Diane Cookson, president and CEO of UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital, said to elected officials and community members in attendance.

The 360,000-square-foot hospital, slated for completion in January 2019, will cover the southeast parcel of the

100-acre development that sits east of Lucent Boulevard, west of Barrons Boulevard and north of Town Center Drive.

It will generate 500 to 600 construction jobs and 400 new permanent jobs once built, according to UCHealth.

The hospital will offer a Level III trauma center and a specialized focus on oncology, orthopedic and women’s services, including a birthing center and neonatal intensive-care unit. Patients will have access to primary and specialized care and advanced clinical trials, said Will Cook, president and CEO of University of Colorado Hospital.

“When you’re sick, you don’t want to be in traffic for an hour,” Cook said.

“While we won’t replicate everything we do at the Anschutz Medical Campus, we are going to do some very important things.”

Seat open on Metro District Board of Directors

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rick Owens, a member of the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors, has resigned following 15 years of service, according to a May 25 news release from the metro district.

In an email correspondence, Owens, who served as chairman for several years, praised the “outstanding and award-winning” community and the “dedicated and loyal” metro district staff members.

“The metro district is the local government and that is why it’s successful — constituents can walk right in the door and influence the direction of the community,” Owens wrote. “ I’m sorry I can’t finish my term, but the board membership is strong and will continue to move forward.”

Owens, president of infrastructure and operations for Sitel, a customer service company, will be relocating to Miami for work. He and his wife are keeping their Highlands Ranch home and expect to return for retirement, he wrote.

During his tenure, Owens was instrumental in many accomplishments, including consolidation of four districts into one — which saved money and lowered taxes — construction of

several parks and infrastructure that allowed the community to grow, initiation of the parkway fence replacement program, which replaces aging fence along metro district-owned roads, and the renovation of the Highlands Ranch Mansion, according to the news release.

The seven-person board will appoint someone to fill the seat vacated by Owens. The newly appointed director will serve the remainder of the term until May 2018.

Individuals who are interested in being considered for appointment must submit a letter of interest by 5 p.m.

June 22. The letter may be dropped off at the metro district office, 62 Plaza Drive, or mailed to general manager Terry Nolan at the metro district office, or emailed to tnolan@highlandsranch. org.

Candidates must be registered to vote in Colorado and must live in, or own property in, the west central region of Highlands Ranch Metro District, which is bordered to the south by Wildcat Reserve Parkway and to the north by Plaza Drive. For a region map, visit highlandsranch.org/government/ board-of-directors, or stop by the metro district office.

County lands deal with ‘SuperTanker’ firefighting plane Global SuperTanker Services agreement calls for help as needed

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County has added another firefighting aircraft to its arsenal, and this one comes with a first-of-its kind contract.

Commissioners approved a yearlong contract with Global SuperTanker Services LLC at their May 23 business meeting, making the county the first in the nation to snag a deal with the company.

The B747-400 “SuperTanker” plane is based in Colorado Springs and travels up to 600 mph, according to Global SuperTanker’s website. It can carry nearly 20,000 gallons of retardant, water or other substances and reach almost anywhere in the nation in approximately 2 1/2 hours, the website says.

Douglas County’s contract is a $200,000, call-as-needed agreement, meaning the Global SuperTanker can respond to fire events at Douglas County’s request so long as it has not already been deployed elsewhere.

Tim Johnson, the county’s director of emergency management, said the contract is good for the county as it

Douglas County has signed a contract with Global SuperTanker LLC, bringing to five the county’s number of contracts with aerial firefighting services.

COURTESY PHOTO provides another firefighting resource.

“The fact that it’s 20 minutes away down in Colorado Springs was a big reason for us going after this contract with them,” Johnson said. “That could make a significant difference for us if we had a very bad day, a very bad wildfire.”

Total response time might take a couple of hours, Johnson said, but once the plane has taken off it can reach the county in about 15 to 20 minutes. The county also liked that, although the contract caps spending at $200,000, they pay nothing unless the service is actually used in the next year.

Roger Partridge, chairman of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, said the deal is good because of the county’s responsibility to protect its people, their property and the land from natural disasters.

He said the contract with the Global SuperTanker provides “great protection if a large, unfortunate fire does exist.”

The Global SuperTanker wouldn’t likely be their first call when responding to a fire, Johnson said. The contract is one of five that the county has with various aerospace services, including the Castle Rock-based Rampart Helicopter Services.

“We wouldn’t call it out for a 10-acre fire,” Partridge said. “It would have to be the type of fire that couldn’t be handled by the other air/land resources.”

They may base that call on whether people or structures are in danger, Johnson said, and not just the size and scale of a fire.

But with this contract in place, he said, the county is in a more secure position to take on the wildfire season.

“Given the right situation, it might be the appropriate resource to use,” Johnson said. “We wanted to have the ability to call them.”

THE MANSION: PART 2 OF 3

A forbidden building becomes a welcoming community venue A $6 million renovation opens the Highlands Ranch Mansion to the public

ABOUT THE SERIES Once belonging to influencers of Colorado — including oil tycoons, cattle barons, Denver socialites, politicians and businessmen — the Highlands Ranch Mansion was destined to be a special place for modern-day Highlands Ranch.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Todd Noreen moved to Highlands Ranch in 1991, his home backed up to open land and the historic property known as the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Red and green ivy vines engulfed the front of the castle-like building. Critters inhabited the inside.

Water leaks stained the interior walls.

Following a $6 million renovation to the 126-year-old mansion completed in 2012, Noreen’s view from the back of his home changed drastically.

“I loved the ivy,” said Noreen, a mansion volunteer, “but it was neat to be able to see what was underneath it.”

Today, sandstone, rock, brick and petrified wood line the 27,000-squarefoot mansion that sits on a hilltop just below the windmill, east of Gateway Drive between South Broadway and East Wildcat Reserve Parkway. The gated property has an impeccable front lawn with views of the Front Range, an expansive front patio and a large parking lot for visitors. Two hundred acres of ranch land and suburban neighborhoods surround the property.

Site improvements and electrical repairs completed during the two-year renovation brought to life a vision of the mansion set in place 30 years ago — that it would be used for public benefit.

The Highlands Ranch Development Guide, approved in 1979 before the first home was built in Highlands Ranch, required that Mission Viejo, the original developer of the masterplanned community, transfer ownership of the mansion to an organization that would maintain it for public use.

Following a year-long public involvement process, the Highlands Ranch Metro District became owner in 2010.

“We didn’t know exactly what we were going to do with it (the mansion),” said Jeff Case, public works director of the metro district. “We knew we needed to fix things.”

The metro district embarked on an investigation of the building and discovered a deteriorated roof, water damage, rickety flooring and outdated plumping, heating and cooling systems, among other structural defects.

The goal was not to change the mansion, but to make it a modern facility, Case said. Many materials from the original building were reused and designs were replicated.

The interior today remains a mix of 1980s and ‘90s décor — arched doorways, wood floors, white framed windows, crystal chandeliers, plush fabric couches and vintage lamps.

Once belonging to influencers of Colorado — including oil tycoons, cattle barons, Denver socialites, politi-

The eastern portion of the mansion, also the oldest, required extensive demolition. The Highlands Ranch Metro District determined the best place to construct a great hall for gatherings and events was the southeast corner of the property, as shown above. COURTESY HIGHLANDSRANCHMANSION.COM cians and businessmen — the mansion was destined to be a special place for modern-day Highlands Ranch.

And because of the extensive renovation, residents and mansion staff say, it is.

‘A centerpiece of the community’ In early 2000s, community groups, including the Highlands Ranch Community Association, conducted several formal and informal studies in hopes of fulfilling Mission Viejo’s vision of the mansion as a space for public benefit. But paying for the renovation and operation of the mansion was a challenge.

In 2008, the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors hired a consultant to study feasibility and determine renovation costs. A public involvement process, including community outreach and meetings with stakeholders and surrounding neighborhoods, began the following year.

The metro district envisioned the mansion as a place for residents to learn and experience the heritage of Highlands Ranch.

“We recognized that the mansion would be the centerpiece of the community,” Case said.

Most residents were on board with the mansion, Case said, so long as operational fees weren’t funded by taxpayer dollars and private events wouldn’t disrupt surrounding neighborhoods.

So the metro district developed a concept that would use revenue from private event rentals, such as weddings, to cover the mansion’s operating cost of about $450,000 a year.

System development fees, paid by residential development companies for community-wide capital projects and infrastructure, would cover the $6 million renovation. Another $4 million, also from system development fees, would be put in an endowment fund for future generations.

Private events would adhere to a set of guidelines, including noise control, termination of alcohol service 30 minutes before the end of an event and parking management.

To balance private events and public enjoyment, open hours would be available for free to individuals and groups during the week.

In 2010, Shea Homes, which purchased Mission Viejo, conveyed ownership of the mansion to the Highlands Ranch Metro District. The surrounding 200 acres of pasture, ranch buildings and corrals, currently used as a working cattle ranch, will be handed over in 2026. The metro district plans to use the land as a historic park.

“We’d like to expand upon the history of ranching, farming, animals,” said mansion manager Harlan Stritchko, “provide educational opportunities and increase the volume of people coming through.”

Renovation was a guessing game The mansion came to be in 1891 when one of the country’s first petroleum refiners, Samuel Allen Long, built a farmhouse on his property that sits north of what is now Wildcat Reserve Parkway and overlooks the western part of Highlands Ranch.

Businessman and politician John Springer then turned the farmhouse into a castle, which oil tycoon Frank Kistler remodeled in 1930 to the mansion’s current size and style.

Instead of tearing down and rebuilding the property, each owner added on to the original farmhouse and left personal touches that exist today.

Rotherwood — named after Allen’s childhood farm — is faintly inscribed above a door on the eastern side of the mansion. Springer added a large living room and a turret over the grand entrance. Kistler used sandstone on the exterior and built a sprawling front patio and a western wing.

So writes Alex DeWind in this week’s installment of a threepart series that explores the role of the 126-year-old Highlands Ranch Mansion in our young community. The story looks at the $6 million renovation that transformed the aging building into a welcoming and elegant venue for residents. The first part of the series, published last week, explored the history of the building. The third story, scheduled for next week, gives readers a glimpse into the Mansion’s strong volunteer program and the many events it now hosts.

“It’s a building that’s been upgraded, renovated and changed over the years,” Case said. “There was no one plan.”

Which made the renovation a guessing game.

The metro district hired dozens of contractors for the project. Rotted carpets were ripped out, exposing wood floors made of oak and cherry. Walls were knocked down, some of which revealed exterior walls with windows that had been covered up.

“No one ever decided they were going to knock down things and start over,” Case said. “They just kept changing things.”

Materials that couldn’t be salvaged, like broken beams on the patio’s railing, were replicated. The roof was replaced. Modern electrical, heating and cooling systems were installed. Elegant bathrooms with marble furnishing were constructed on the first floor.

An elevator and ramp were added to meet ADA standards.

In the property’s southeast corner, a great hall with sound-reducing wall material and durable hickory wood was constructed to accommodate gatherings and events that would soon take place on the property.

“Prior to the renovation the mansion was a forbidden location,” said Jaye Dixon, the mansion’s sales and event coordinator. “Now it is a welcoming community gathering spot.”

Today, visitors can explore the mansion or take a guided tour during open hours, which are held twice a week. People flock to the building for popular public events, such as Highlands Ranch Days, a three-day festival in September. Intimate events, such as speakers and concerts, draw smaller crowds to the great hall.

It’s a one-of-a-kind facility, Dixon said.

“There is not,” she said, “nor will there ever be another Highlands Ranch Mansion.”

Valor grads asked to share love

ith arms around one another and heads bowed, Valor Christian High School graduates prayed as a class one last time before tossing their blue caps into the air. Applause rang through Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch.

Speakers at the May 25 commencement ceremony shared a common theme: love.

“The world would be a far different place if loving others was a priority,” valedictorian Reagan Shane said. “Love brings happiness, healing.”

As with all phases of life — from infancy to childhood and childhood to adolescence — this one will bring challenges, keynote speaker Bob Dixon said. The Valor teacher encouraged parents to invest in their graduates, but also to let them go and trust that God will do the rest.

His advice for soon-to-be graduates sitting before him: “I encourage you to live a life of love flowing out of gratitude into action.”

‘I feel the freedom’ at naturalization ceremony Parker library welcomes 28 people as new U.S. citizens STAFF REPORT

A building full of books was the perfect setting for Joaquin Escobarto receive his United States citizenship.

“When my family came to the United States, it was a pageturning event,” said Escobar, a Highlands Ranch resident and University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, graduate. “Being a U.S. citizen, I will be able to see eye-toeye with my peers... I’m ecstatic to be here.”

The Parker branch of Douglas County Libraries hosted a naturalization ceremony for 28 new U.S. citizens from 19 countries on May 20, the first ceremony of its kind at the building.

Officials from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

and Douglas County Libraries officiated the event, which began with a rendition of the national anthem by Natalie Beaumont and Sadie Crain, fifth-graders at Parker Performing Arts School.

“I have had the pleasure of seeing firsthand how new Americans enrich our lives,” said Tiffany Curtin, adult literacy specialist with Douglas County libraries.

“At the library, we see new Americans gain the language skills to become volunteers, gain employment, pursue professional goals, earn promotions, enter higher education, support their children in school and transform their lives.”

Adina Davis, a Mexico native from Lone Tree who has lived in the U.S. for 15 years, cried during the ceremony, both for her joy at becoming naturalized and her pride at seeing her daughters, Sydney and Sarah, lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

“I love how organized the United States is, people are honest,” Davis said. “I feel the freedom.”

Adina Davis, a 15-year Highlands ranch resident, receives a handshake and certificate of naturalization during a ceremony at the Douglas County Libraries Parker branch on May 20.

Davis married her husband, a U.S. citizen, and moved to the U.S. 15 years ago. Her daughters led the Pledge of Allegiance at the ceremony.

Centura Health CEO Gary Campbell will step down on Sept. 1, and will be succeeded by its current chief operating officer and president, the health care system announced May 22.

He will continue to serve as an adviser focusing on leadership development to Centura, which operates hospitals across Colorado and western Kansas. President and Chief Operating Officer Peter Banko will assume the role of chief executive officer and

continue to be the president.

“Centura Health has been truly blessed with Gary’s visionary leadership,” said Patricia Webb, chair of the Centura Health governing board.

“His faithful commitment to our ministry and efforts to transform the delivery of health care have allowed us to optimize health value across our region and meet the needs of consumers.”

Campbell has served as Centura’s CEO since 2008, making him its longest-tenured chief executive. During that time, the system expanded from 11 hospitals to 17, which include Littleton Adventist Hospital, Parker Adventist Hospital, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, St. Anthony and OrthoColorado hospitals in Lakewood and St. Anthony North Health Campus in Westminster.

Two private funds will help veterans recover

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two civilian initiatives are coming to Colorado to help veterans and their families deal with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress and other problems, the University of Colorado said.

The recently announced five-year, $38 million gift from the Marcus Foundation will create the Marcus Institute for Brain Health at the university’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, helping veterans manage the lingering effects of service-related concussions.

The foundation, based in Atlanta, was established by Bernard Marcus, cofounder of Home Depot.

The university also announced it will work with the Cohen Veterans Network to establish a mental health clinic for Denver-area veterans and their families.

The Cohen Network committed $9.8 mil-

-

lion over three years for the clinic.

The network was started by hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen.

Both programs are separate from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which is building a $1.7 billion medical center less than a mile from the Anschutz Medical Campus in the Denver suburb of Aurora.

A PTSD treatment center was part of the original plan for the VA hospital but it was cut from the first phase because the overall project ran far over budget.

Officials of the new civilian programs said they will complement VA services and fill some gaps. Both will offer care to veterans who are ineligible for VA services because they received otherthan-honorable discharges.

The Marcus Institute will treat up to 400 veterans a year using traditional and alternative medicine, said Dr. James Kelly, executive director of the institute.

“The idea would be to blend very

advanced, very high-tech medical care with complementary and alternative medical methods such as acupuncture and breathing techniques and relaxation and therapeutic massage, a whole variety of things that we’ve found useful,” he said.

Kelly, a neurologist, led the Defense Department’s National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for seven years.

The center treats active-duty servicemen and women with traumatic brain injuries and psychological health conditions.

Veterans will not be charged anything for participating, even if they do not have insurance, Kelly said.

The institute will have about 30 doctors, psychologists and physical therapists when it reaches full strength next year. It will use existing facilities at the Anschutz campus.

The Marcus Foundation hopes the institute will be a model for similar

programs elsewhere.

The Cohen Military Family Clinic will be one of 25 around the nation. It will provide free or low-cost mental health care to veterans and their families and will be located about 2 1/2 miles from the Anschutz campus.

It will offer treatment for post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, marital problems, children’s behavioral health and related issues, said Anthony Hassan, president and CEO of the Cohen Veterans Network. It will focus on post-9/11 veterans but others will be considered if services are available.

Hassan said treating all veterans regardless of their discharge status is part of the Cohen Network’s mission.

“Many men and women are being discharged for behavior problems or drug abuse problems,” Hassan said. “Any veteran who served one day on active duty, regardless of discharge, is worthy of care in our clinics.”

Littleton gun store robbed STAFF REPORT

The Littleton Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating an early morning robbery at a gun store on May 24.

Officers responded to an alarm at Triple J Armory at 311 E. County Line Road just before 2 a.m., discovering that a black Jeep Cherokee had driven through the front of the store. It was later discovered the Jeep had been stolen from Aurora, according to Littleton police.

“Clearly some planning went into this crime,” Littleton Police spokesman Cmdr. Trent Cooper said.

The suspects fled the scene in another vehicle prior to officers’ arrival, leaving the Jeep abandoned at the

scene. Security video showed four suspects entering the store and stealing numerous firearms.

Triple J Armory was robbed last June in similiar fashion, with 29 guns stolen, and a robbery was attempted there in November. Cooper said suspects in the June robbery were later arrested as part of a multi-agency investigation.

Following the June robbery, the store installed concrete posts to prevent vehicles from driving into the window, which Cooper said was instrumental in thwarting the attempt in November.

“They have very good security in this store, better than most,” Cooper said.

Cooper said it was not yet clear how many guns, or what type, had been stolen in the latest robbery.

Second-graders do their part for the homeless Lone Tree Elementary students complete projects to better the community

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Second-graders Angelika Korniyekl, Colton Holmes and Keno Woods wanted to help the homeless.

Through a school project, they did just that.

“We need to take care of them so they can eat,” Woods said. “We want them to be happy, and we can be happy that we did this.”

Their project was similar to four others in teacher Kimberly Leroi’s classroom, where community service is an important part of Lone Tree Elementary School’s curriculum.

The students identified issues within Douglas County and Lone Tree and chose a topic they felt passionate about to focus their community service project on.

“They had to look at the issue and come up with what was needed and how we could help them,” Leroi said.

Starting in November, the students identified a problem, found possible solutions, interviewed a professional in the field and completed a

In groups of three or four students, the youths made toys for homeless animals at the Dumb Friends League, made activity books for sick children and their siblings at children’s hospitals, spent time with senior citizens at Morning Star Senior Living and helped kindergar-

ten students with various projects.

“Each group fully completed what they wanted to do,” Leroi said.

“They saw the relevance to what they wanted to do become a reality. The kids really were passionate about the group that they chose.”

dox, speak to the class about the issue of homelessness and ways that a second-grader could help.

The students decided they would assemble bags of items — including toothpaste, soap and granola bars — to be handed out to the homeless.

“I love that they are able to recognize things that are going on in the community and are giving back to it in their own capacity,” Maddox said.

The students put together a supply drive in their school to collect the items, then organized the items into gallon-sized bags. By the end of the year, the kids assembled close to 100 bags.

“Putting all the stuff in the bags instead of doing math was fun,” Holmes said. “I also felt really good because I helped the homeless.

When I was going to the Bluffs, I saw a homeless person in a corner with a dog and I thought that someone should help him.”

Maddox said there are not many homeless people who stay in Lone Tree but there are homeless travelers who pass through. Each patrol car will have several of the bags to distribute to people.

“A lot of the times, (Lone Tree police officers) come across people who don’t have a home and they don’t have these essential things,” Maddox said. “Now we can give them some of the essentials.”

If a dog keeps barking, is it too much to ask ... well, apparently it is QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

could spend the next 500 words in gentle reminders about barking dogs, or I could keep it simple and tell you to do something about it.

It’s annoying and disrespectful.

Arf. Most dogs come with something called a “bark.” It’s not an add-on item. Dog owners know they are getting the bark with the dog.

Dog owners know or must know that barking can be a problem, unless ignorance is bliss, and it often is.

Barking can have a direct and unpleasant effect on everything. Dinner time, movie watching, book reading, music listening, conversation, napping and hanky-panky.

The non-stop, intermittent, abrupt and harsh sound of a barking backyard dog can become an irritant. It can lead to many things, including a comment to the owner, a confrontation, and a call to the authorities.

I try to look at this from both sides.

Maybe the owner thinks his dog has permission to bark, because other dogs are doing it too.

But somewhere in between is a resident who does not have a dog in the chorus.

Combine barking with hot summer days — and they’re on their way — and you have yourself a Tylenol headache.

At this very moment, there’s a call and response in the backyards near us.

When we experience aches and pains, fatigue or lack of sleep, we head to our doctor who generally ends up prescribing a pill to help combat each symptom, often without searching for the root cause.

stroke are now the leading cause of death, surpassing infectious disease as the number one killer around the world.

The great news is, we have control over chronic conditions, since they are diseases caused primarily by lifestyle, including what we eat and drink, how we move and exercise, how we manage stress and sleep. Foods can a panacea or poison. Every time we eat a meal or snack, we have the power to create health or disease. Good health is not just the absence of disease. It is when we feel vibrant, have a spring in our step and are brimming with energy.

The rewards of a giving heart may not be a typical payoff

his community is so awesome when it comes to giving back.

The fundraising events, the donations, and the giving of time, talents, and resources never WINNING cease to amaze me.

WORDS Yet what amazes me more is the incredible generosity of the community, giving back and never expecting to get anything back in return.

And that is the essence of true Michael Norton charity. That is what defines giving others a hand up when necessary and giving others an opportunity and hope for the future. We step up with muscle and a positive attitude when asked to help, we step up with a financial contribution if we can, and sometimes even when we can’t. I see some of our neighbors and friends in the community, and I know some of them struggle financially sometimes, and yet there they are, front and center giving what they can — it’s amazingly wonderful to see.

I was having a discussion with a friend recently and he was sharing that he was a bit frustrated because he was moving and needed some help on the front-end packing and making some home repairs and then on the

back-end unloading and unpacking.

He was frustrated because he felt like over the years he had given of himself, of his time, and shared that he never said “no” when asked to help. But when he asked, those very same people abandoned him. We can choose to believe that the behavior of his friends was unfair or we can choose to believe the others had real conflicts and could not be available to help. But we can also choose whether we continue living under our attitude of generosity or get trapped by the less-than-charitable attitudes of others.

Then we also have to choose who we are as a person when it comes to giving of ourselves, our time, or our money. Do we do it because we can or we know it’s the right thing to do? Or do we do it because we are collecting tokens along the way, fully expecting to be paid back when our time of need comes? The latter way of thinking holds us ransom even though we feel like we are the one owed a favor.

It holds us ransom because now we feel like the other person is in our debt. It holds us ransom because it places how we value ourselves over how we value our relationship with a family member, friend, or neighbor.

Looking back at successes, battles of legislative session

T

he 2017 session of the Colorado General Assembly has come to an end. It has truly been an honor to represent you and thank you for all of GUEST your support. I have tried my best to vote COLUMN for what is right for our district and not waste our taxpayer dollars.

From our efforts to improve healthcare in Colorado, to our attempts to increase construction of townhomes and condominiums Jim Smallwood Douglas County,inand trying to properly fund the improvements of our roads and bridges, much of this session was quite contentious.

The Construction Litigation Bill, House Bill 1279, has been signed into law by the governor, and makes it more difficult for condo boards and associations to sue construction professionals. Hopefully, this new law will help increase for-sale, multi-unit housing starts.

The Transportation Bill, HB 1242, which included a $3.5 billion sales tax increase, was postponed indefinitely in the Senate Finance Committee on April 25. As an alternative to increasing our sales tax, I instead supported Senate Bill 303, which required 10 percent of the net revenue generated by existing sales tax for funding the state highway system. This bill was also lost in the Senate.

Aside from these high-profile bills, I was proud to be the prime sponsor on some 15 bills that ended up on the governor’s desk. Here are a few highlights: “Pharmacy Technician Supervision Ratio,” SB 268, will increase the number of pharmacist technicians a pharmacist is allowed to supervise from three to six. This should free up time for pharmacists to spend interacting directly with patients, and it opens the door for Colorado to become a growing job market for pharmacy technicians.

Hopefully, this helps boost training for

been reminded about it many times over the years. The philosophy of giving someone money when they need it or helping anyone in need if you have the time, talent, or resources. The philosophy of doing it with no expectation of ever being repaid. The person asking may offer their services one day or to repay a loan, however, the philosophy says do it if you can, and if the other person is ever in a position to repay the debt or service that is great, if not, that’s OK too. If you can’t accept that, do not loan the money, do not donate the money, or do not offer to your time or services. Give back without expecting to get back.

pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

“Voluntary Firefighter Cancer Benefits Program,” SB 214, will allow an employer to voluntarily participate in a voluntary firefighter cancer benefit program. Our firefighters routinely risk their lives for us, and the long-term impacts on their health can be horribly detrimental. With this legislation, we hope to make it easier for firefighters to receive affordable and appropriate healthcare benefits.

“Adoptee Present In-state Exception,” HB 1304, changes the current law from requiring the child to be present in the state at the time of the adoption filing to allowing the child to not be present in the state if the child has been under the jurisdiction of a court in Colorado for at least six months. This bill makes it significantly easier for children to finalize their adoptions in Colorado.

“Insurance Fraud,” HB 1048, extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting insurance fraud so that it begins when the crime is discovered, not committed, giving victims adequate time to take action.

“Child Welfare Allocation Formula Factors,” HB 1052, charges the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Child Welfare Allocations Committee to develop more flexible formulas that directly affect the population of children in need of child welfare services. Basically, this bill allows counties, instead of the state, to decide what is the best formula to use to make sure welfare dollars are going to the people who need it.

The legislative session ended on May 10, but I will continue to serve our district in every way I can. I will be serving on the Legislative Audit Committee, the Colorado Channel Authority Board and the Child Fatality Review Team throughout the year. As always, please feel free to contact me at jim@jimsmallwoodforcolorado.com or visit my website, jimsmallwoodforcolorado.com.

It may sound counterintuitive to some, but you can ask anyone who lives with this type of charitable heart and giving attitude, without expecting anything in return, often find themselves being blessed over and over and over again in so many ways.

So how about you? Do you give expecting to get back, or do you give because you can and it’s the right thing to do? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we give back without an expectation to get something back in return, it really will be a better than good week … for everyone.

siderate.” Those words have to be learned, and sometimes they never are. You’ve heard of littering?

I mentioned a barking problem to one of my neighbors, and was told, “With all due respect, they’re dogs.”

This had crossed my mind, and I think it might work, if we didn’t live side by side. Even then, a dog’s barking at almost any distance is unpleasant. It’s not meowing.

There are signs on the greenbelt that are reminders about the responsibilities of dog ownership.

One of them mentions leashes.

My roommate and I have been confronted 14 times by unleashed dogs.

Once I was nipped.

But, after all, “they’re dogs.”

What can be done about it?

Unattended dogs can be attended.

There are some great pet sitters in town.

Dogs can be placed in daycare.

From time to time, Smitty stays at the VCA Mountainview Animal Hospital and Pet Lodge on East County Line Road.

These things cost money, however.

There are devices, including collars and sonic barking silencers, that are intended to solve the problem.

On the other hand, the cavalier idea that dogs will be dogs can lead to a visit from the authorities, warnings and fines.

Unattended barking does something else. It harms the balance, which sometimes can be a delicate one to begin with, between neighbor and neighbor.

AGING FROM PAGE 14

When we eat food, we are supplying energy and are also delivering messages that tell cells to do this and not that; release this hormone but not that one; express this gene and turn off another one. Each molecule of food triggers a cascade of events that send signals throughout our bodies, balancing hormones, igniting immune cells and switching genes on and off, building and destroying cells. This powerful information comes in different forms including macronutrients, micronutrients and phytochemicals, and each has dramatic effects on how we feel and think, our level of energy and disease risk.

If a nutrient is missing, the body will do all it can to compensate until the system begins to falter. The body will whisper that something is out of balance with chronic symptoms like aches and pains, rashes, muscle cramps or headaches. If the imbalance is not corrected, the body will start to scream and we end up with a disease diagnosis like arthritis, heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

Macronutrients are nutrients needed in large amounts (macro) and include carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber and water. Fiber doesn’t provide any calories but is essential for digestion and elimination. Drinking a half-ounce of water per pound of body weight is a great way to support the body’s detoxification systems.

Micronutrients are nutrients needed

in small amounts (micro) and include vitamins and minerals. These nutrients enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones and other substances vital for growth and development. Phytochemicals are the colorful nutrients in plants that have protective health effects, like antioxidants that squelch free radical damage, helping to slow the aging process and defend against chronic disease like cancer and heart disease.

There are over 10,000 phytochemicals that have currently been identified with countless others yet to be discovered.

Try squeezing those compounds into a single pill! (Or eat your veggies like Grandma always insisted on!)

The bottom line is if you are serious about staying healthy or reclaiming your health, the best and most important place to start is with the food at

the end of your fork. Michael Pollan said it best, “Eat food. Not too much.

Mostly plants.” A clean whole foods diet is the cornerstone for successful aging.

HORSE

ABOUT FRAGILE X SYNDROME

FROM PAGE 9

instructor leads classes in the eightweek program, which is run yearround.

On June 20, Colorado HorsePower is inviting the public to a ribbon cutting for its recently updated facilities. The organization built a new viewing area for parents and guardians on its indoor arena, which was also expanded by nearly 60 feet.

The expansion means HorsePower can run two classes simultaneously in the arena, said Lynette Roff, president of the nonprofit’s board of directors. It can also run education programming in the new viewing room, which is now heated and cooled.

The organization hopes the expansion will bring more people to the program.

“We serve students of all ages that are special needs students, and we have both group and individual classes,” Roff said. “Our longest student has been with HorsePower for 17 years, so we’ve watched a lot of these students go from young children to adults.”

HorsePower stables six horses on the farm. People with disabilities improve core strengths, balance and overall

Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that often affects males more severely than females. Those with Fragile X typically have delayed development of speech and most males with the condition have intellectual disabilities. Children with the condition may also have anxiety and hyperactive behavior or attention deficit disorder.

‘Our longest student has been with HorsePower for 17 years, so we’ve watched a lot of these students go from young children to adults.’

The condition occurs in approximately one in 4,000 males and one in 8,000 females.

Lynette Roff, HorsePower

Source: The U.S. National Library of Medicine, www.nlm.nih.gov agility by working with the horses, in addition to the mental and emotional benefits, Roff said.

“It helps with their social skills and really improves their self efficacy,” she said.

HorsePower has been at Meadowbrook Farms since 2009. The property spans more than 100 acres and incorporates trails ranging from one- to two-hour-long rides. Co-owner of Meadowbrook Farms, Mark Renn, said the organization has won his support over the years.

“Watching what happened with the students,” he said of their mental and emotional development, “I became more and more impressed with what

it’s done for these kids.”

For him, being involved is a chance to give back and watch the students grow.

Ayres said she, too, has watched her son change because of his involvement with the program. They started coming to HorsePower in 2008, she said, after having enrolled Chris in another horse-therapy program that she described as more strict.

With HorsePower, the students could get outdoors, ride up the road or trails and not be “stuck in the barn.” It was an approach that surprised and impressed Ayres, she said, and quickly won over her son.

“We’ve heard some language. He’s

said some words, which has been encouraging,” she said of improvements she credits to HorsePower.

“We’ve seen him being able to follow directions and maneuver the horse appropriately when he’s asked to.”

Although he’s non-verbal, Chris communicates his approval to her through thumbs-ups and smiles, she said.

Ultimately, Ayres believes HorsePower gives Chris a sense of independence.

And, for her, a little time to relax.

“As a parent,” she said, “just to be able to sit outside for an hour and have your kid be entertained — huge.”

Teenagers behind the wheel Teaching a teen to drive is both exciting and nerve-wracking

FIVE STEPS FOR TEENS TO OBTAIN A DRIVER’S LICENSE 1. Take a driver’s education class.

A 30-hour class, which is usually offered online or in a classroom setting, will teach a teen everything he or she needs to know to pass the test required to obtain a learner’s permit.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

R

ayelyn Lockard is looking forward to being able to do some simple tasks on her own in the near future — helping her mother with the day-to-day errands, making a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up a few items and leaving her high school campus during her lunch break.

“I just enjoy driving around,” she said. “I’m excited to be able to start doing stuff on my own time.”

The first street that Lockard, 16, drove on was Delaware Street in Englewood, and for the past 10 months, she has been practicing her driving skills. Now, she only lacks documenting two nighttime driving hours before she is eligible to obtain her driver’s license.

“She was a good student,” her mother Annie Bennett said. But that still didn’t make the experience any easier, she added. “It was not always a smooth process.”

For lots of American teenagers, getting a driver’s license provides a sense of freedom. They can drive themselves to and from school, and they no longer have to depend on parents for rides to hang out with friends or meet up with study groups.

But for parents, although excited about the milestone in their child’s life, it can be a nerve-wracking experience of relinquishing control of being their child’s safest mode of transportation.

“I think I was the problem at first,” Bennett said. “I was really nervous — I struggled a lot. But now, for the most part, my nerves seem to be a little more normal.”

It is normal for parents to feel anxious about their teen learning to drive, said Ben Baron, owner and founder of DriveSafe Driving Schools, which teaches about 5,000 teens to drive annually through its 10 locations in the Denver-metro area.

“When we lose the ability to solely protect our kids, it’s normal for parents to feel anx-

2. Obtain a learner’s permit. In Colorado, anybody under the age of 18 must have a learner’s permit for one year before being able to get a license. So, if a teen wants to get his or her license on their 16th birthday, they must get their learner’s permit on their 15th birthday.

Rayelyn Lockard, 16, practices driving in preparation for her driver’s examination. Lockard only has two nighttime driving hours left to document before she is eligible to obtain her driver’s license.

COURTESY PHOTO ious,” Baron said. But “people get through it. Learning to drive is a milestone in their lives. It can and should be a great thing.”

Baron went through the experience with his two children, who are now in their 20s. He encourages all families with a teen who will soon start the learning-to-drive process to have an open and honest conversation about each other’s nerves.

“Be genuine with your teen,” he said. “Tell them, we’re super-excited, but also nervous because we’re losing our control of your protection.”

Bennett agrees that having conversations throughout the learning-to-drive process is important and beneficial. It strengthened their relationship, she said.

“Rayelyn and I have grown because of this,” Bennett said.

“We’ve gotten closer, with our communication and trust.”

Another thing that helped Bennett was Lockard’s weeklong driver’s ed course, which she took through Peak Drivers Ed last July.

“It helped a ton because I didn’t have to be the first person to be in the car with her,” Bennett said. “I thought, OK, at least she knows how to turn the car on and where the gas and brakes are.”

Some parents are terrified to teach their teen to drive, said Jake Dinwiddie, the lead instructor of DriveSafe’s

Dinwiddie would like to remind Mistakes happen when learning to everyone who drives in Colorado drive, just like they do with any new to be courteous on the roads — skill.” especially to cars marked as a Littleton/Lakewood location and the company-wide manager of academic quality. So after completing each lesson, he said, parents are generally excited to hear about how the lesson went and willing to take advice on what to work on.

“We have the same goal,” he said, “and that is for their son or daughter to become a safe driver. It’s really neat to see the a-ha moments from both the parents and the students.”

Much of teaching a teen to drive is patience and providing a supportive environment, Baron said. But two tips he would give parents are to lead by example by modeling good driving behavior and focus on safe decision-making in all scenarios of driving, for both local roads and highways.

“When you think about learning to drive, you often first think about teaching the

physical, behind-the-wheel aspect,” Baron said. “But more importantly, it’s also learning the mental aspect of driving — safe decision-making.”

Once Lockard had completed her driver’s ed course, she and her mother had their first driving lesson together in an RTD parking lot on a Sunday evening.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” Bennett said. “So I wanted to go somewhere where there was no traffic.”

But her daughter was already confident enough in her own skills — she knew what all the street signs meant, understood how to turn and how the streetlights work. And with Lockard’s grandfather putting in about 25 percent of the driving supervision work, Bennett and her daughter eventually made their way to driving on well-known, predictable side streets and

3. Complete behind-the-wheel training. State law mandates that any teen younger than age 16 ½ at the time of applying for his or her driver’s license must complete six hours of behind-the-wheel training with a professional driving instructor.

4. Practice driving with an adult.

The state requires that teens practice driving with a supervising adult for a minimum of 50 hours within the time of obtaining a learner’s permit and applying for a driver’s license. The hours must be documented by a supervising adult, and the written log must be provided to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at the time of applying for a driver’s license.

5. Pass the DMV’s driver’s exam.

Once a teen successfully passes the driver’s exam, he or she can obtain a driver’s license and legally drive in Colorado. However, some restrictions concerning curfew and number of minor-aged passengers allowed do apply.

For more details on obtaining a driver’s license, visit www.colorado.gov/pacific/dmv/licenses. eventually reaching 45 mph.

“The highways are still intimidating because most accidents happen on the highway,” Lockard said. “But otherwise, it’s fun to drive.”

She drives almost every day for about an hour.

And Bennett is proud of what her daughter has accomplished.

“I’m confident she can do it — she knows what she’s doing,” Bennett said. “But you never get used to them growing up. And then, all of a sudden, they’re driving.”

Elizabeth Stampede shows how West gets wild PRCA-sanctioned rodeo brings big deal to small town

IF YOU GO The following are some highlighted events during the Elizabeth Stampede at Casey Jones Park in Elizabeth:

BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Elizabeth Stampede will continue to carry the torch of Western pride as it hosts its 30th Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association sanctioned event June 1-4.

“The PRCA is to rodeos what the NFL is to football,” said Elizabeth Stampede Board of Directors President Jace Glick.

“We’re the big leagues, we’re Elbert County’s only PRCA rodeo. We’re also Elbert County’s most inclusive rodeo.

We have around 60 sponsors, and we’ll have 60 vendors that will financially benefit,” he said.

Glick gave the examples of 12 local organizations that also benefit financially from the rodeo, including the Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts, the Chamber and the sheriff ’s office.

The Stampede’s catchphrase this year is “Pearl of the West,” since the 30th is considered the “pearl” anniversary.

“That’s a big accomplishment because it’s hard to put on that many years of a good rodeo,” said Elizabeth Stampede Board of Directors Vice President Traci Swisher.

In addition to its status as a PRCA rodeo, the Stampede will mark 65 continuous years as an organized rodeo.

A parade, live music, bull riding, award-winning rodeo performances and belt buckle awards are all in the lineup for the Stampede’s weekend of events.

“Everybody loves bull riding. That’s why on Friday night we have all bulls,” Swisher said.

“We have some excellent riders.

We’re told we get such excellent riders because we get such good stock,” she said.

Glick was quick to second that statement.

“We take care of our cowboys better than anybody else out there,” he said.

On the night of June 2, 12 of the top 20 in the world will be compet-

After bull riding, “Barrel racing would the next most popular. The crowd meters show that it’s right up there with bull riding,” said Swisher, who is a competitive barrel racer.

June 3 is Family Day, which will start with the Elizabeth Stampede Parade. There are over 75 entrants including antique cars, horses, floats and the rodeo royalty.

The parade will begin at Tabor Street at 10 a.m. and end at Main Street, where people often take part in ElizaBash after the parade.

June 3 is also the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” campaign day, which is on the scene again at the Stampede for the first time in eight years to raise money for local breast cancer charities.

“There are volunteers and cowboys wearing pink out there, and we’re having silent auctions and fundraisers for that,” Swisher said. “One hundred percent of everything that’s donated goes back into the commu-

nity,” toward the cause, she added.

Available to all Stampede ticket holders is a Behind the Chutes tour, led by local rodeo clown Cade Burns’ wife, Caylee. To join the tour, meet behind the Stampede Foundation booth 90 minutes before the start of each rodeo performance June 3.

When it’s time to kick your own heels in the air, each evening of the Stampede boasts live music, with local and national acts on the docket.

The evening of June 1 kicks off with nationally acclaimed music artists Joe Diffie and Runaway June.

“This is our second annual concert that we’re putting on … Runaway June is the opening act,” Swisher said. “One of the girls who sings in the band is John Wayne’s granddaughter.”

“We set up a big stage in the center of the arena, people come stand right up next to the stage,” she said.

June 4 will be dedicated to honoring the community’s first responders at the Red, White, and Blue Celebration.

“It’s new this year,” Swisher said.

“Don’t miss the grand entry, we’re changing it up this year.”

Glick encourages everyone to arrive early if possible.

“The biggest mistake hands-down that everyone makes is thinking they can get there right at the start of the rodeo,” Glick said.

“The traffic coming into Elizabeth is always difficult because it’s a twolane state highway, and unfortunately backs up. What happens is people wait until the last minute and they miss things due to long lines.” he said.

“There’s plenty to do if you get there early,” Glick said.

Swisher had one major piece of advice for rodeo visitors this year.

“Avoid buying your tickets late.

We generally sell out for the evening performances. Last year the Sunday afternoon nearly sold out,” she said.

“I wouldn’t wait; buy tickets early.”

‘Hairspray’ is lively look at 1960s Baltimore Downtown Littleton stage is site of show that is rich with dancing

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“HAIRSPRAY” runs through June 18 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m.

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Saturday, June 5. Tickets cost $20 to $42 at the box office and online, townhallartscenter.org, 303-794-2787, ext. 5.

Curved silvery curtains open and we see a teenager snoozing in an upright bed. But, not for long! The music begins and Tracy Turnblad is wide awake, singing “Good Morning Baltimore” as “Hairspray” begins at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

Faith Ford, a recent graduate of University of Northern Colorado’s excellent Theatre Department, makes her debut as the rotund ’60s teen with bouffant hair and loads of energy, who loves to dance and shows leadership skills from the get-go. Her full, strong voice is terrific, as are her stage skills.

As she wakes up, a quartet of young African-American guys spin and strut across the stage — a sample of what’s to come with a lively score and fast-paced action.

Many in the cast have done this show before.

The audience settles in for an evening of fun, directed and choreographed by the skilled Nick Sugar, with backup by musical director Donna Debreceni.

Tracy has long wanted to dance on the daily Corny Collins TV show that features a group of young dancers — most especially with the glamorous Link Larkin, who is hoping to go professional soon. Another welcome debut here by Beck Martin, who sang with the Nashville-based vocal band, Breath of Soul, plus building some musical theater experience.

“Nicest Kids in Town” is the show’s signature song. Peter Elliott spins and steps with the best of them as the emcee, Corny Collins, who is under the thumb of the show’s producer, Velma Von Tussle.

We meet Tracy’s parents, Edna (Christopher Whyde) and the always good-to-watch Scott McLean as father Wilbur, an inventor type, who has a gadget shop downstairs.

(The mom is always played in drag by a large male actor.)

The bad guys on the scene are blond Amber Von Tussle (Lynzee Newton — also a UNC graduate, who has returned from a Los An-

Lisa Young plays Motormouth Maybelle and Faith Ford is Tracy Turnblad. The two connect in Town Hall Arts Center’s livewire production of “Hairspray” through June 18. PHOTO BY BECKY TOMA

geles stay) and her “stage mother” Velma Von Tussle, the show’s pushy producer (Margie Lamb), who advises Amber to “hog the camera.”

The socially aware Tracy notes that one day a week is “Negro Day” on the show and wishes it were every day.

Sassy with the principal, Tracy is sent to detention, where she meets s group of black kids, including Seaweed J. Scrubbs (Randy Chalmers), whose dancing she admired on “Negro Days.” Realizing that his mom is the famous entertainment personality, Motormouth Maybelle, Tracy persuades him to teach her to dance and to introduce her to his

mom (the versatile Lisa Young — also making a debut at Town Hall) — connecting several story lines as we move forward and meet the Dynamite trio and other appealing characters.

This joyous production is filled with a livewire score, skilled staging, especially imaginative costumes (by DCPA designer Kevin Copenhaver), fine voices, a strong statement and dancing, dancing, dancing.

It would be enjoyable for all but the littlest family members — a dandy introduction to the pleasures of musical theater — and certainly entertaining to the adults in the family. Don’t miss it!

There were rules: They could go to auction up to three times and not spend more than $500 on one unit, and the plot of the next play would be based on what they found. They could pitch anything unsafe (as in “covered with mold”) but had to use 75 percent of what is in the unit onstage. They could alter contents in any way and supplement or alter with anything they already owned. They could spend another $200 on building materials or necessary props, set or costume pieces. They could spend any money made from selling items from the unit that they would not use … ready set, go!

Could it have belonged to a defunct toy store? The stage is piled high with hundreds of plush animals, baby dolls and other toys, plus a few household items: a chair, a small

‘Do at the Zoo’ is quite the to-do

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver Zoo’s gates will close at noon on June 15 so animals, their keepers and a crew of helpers-for-aday can get ready for a big party.

Tasty snacks for visitors from a great variety of Denver’s restaurants will blend with cocktails, drafts and wines and ciders from area breweries at the annual Do at the Zoo from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 15.

In the past 27 years, zoo guests have contributed more than $12 million to support the Denver Zoo’s many programs, including state-of the art animal care, age-appropriate education events and internationally recognized conservation programs.

Our message from the zoo says more than 4,100 animals live there, representing more than 600 species.

Well recognized this spring is baby giraffe Dobby, who has scored lots of ink and television coverage in the past few months — especially since he was a surprise. Appealing photos of Umi, the polka-dotted baby tapir, have also hit the news, and a visit to the Denver Zoo will allow a view of these two and many other creatures that run, creep, slither, swim, fly and climb.

Each animal requires a special diet and safe, suitable place to live, designed for the individual species.

In return, they teach children and

IF YOU GO THE DO AT THE ZOO will run from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 15. (No guests under 21 allowed.)

The Zoo, in City Park, has an address: 2300 S. Steele St. Tickets for Do at the Zoo cost $175 per person and are available at denverzoo. org/doatthezoo. The event will be held rain or shine.

A smiling baby giraffe, Dobby, will be on hand with his mom to greet visitors at Do at the Zoo on June 15.

stories! Very clever staging!

Broken Baby Doll Detective, with his namesake perched on his shoulder, is obsessed with “surveillance” (a touch from today’s news) and only wants to deal with Broken Baby Doll cases.

“I have no name” is white from head to toe, including skin, white cowboy hat and fur jacket (and a single shoe, painted white.) Seated in a comfortable white upholstered chair, he makes pina coladas in a noisy white blender.

All their stuff is presumably recovered from the mound of crud that fills

half of the stage. It includes lots and lots of plush toy animals, a pretty good chair, radios and — you name it!

Staging is creative — as always with this self-directed crew.

The mound begins to move and antlers mounted on a rocking horse head appear, worn by the very strange Dear Deer (Erin Rollman) whose body is draped in pages from magazines and books — a walking reference library! Her fondness for jelly toast draws attention to a discarded toaster as she starts “Once Upon a Time” — spinning odd stories, a practice all the characters follow.

The mound moves again and Barely Bear (Hanna Duggan) magically materializes — dressed in a head-to-toe suit precisely crafted from plush toys!

(A few of them have a special talent.)

She also has stories to tell! “Once Upon a Time …”

You need to see this “fairytaleish” collaboration for yourself ! Tough to describe — but a delight to watch!

First came two camels, then a tortoise, a potbellied pig ...

Once private, 140-animal sanctuary will open its doors to the public

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are no lions or tigers or bears.

But there is an African tortoise, two wallabies and a potbellied big named Frankie who loves to meet new people.

The animals live on a secluded property nestled among the hills near Larkspur. White fences line the grounds, weaving around red barns, pastures and the on-site home of Jami Jensen, founder of the Zoology Foundation.

The nonprofit has operated as a private animal sanctuary since 2009. But this summer, it plans to bring the public to its doors and teach how animals wind up in sanctuaries.

“We would like to collaborate and share this amazing place with as many organizations as makes sense,” executive director Avie Rosacci said.

The new programming will include partnerships with organizations that serve at-risk youth and disabled individuals, and a youth summer camp being piloted with the Institute for Human-Animal Connection at University of Denver.

Before opening to the public, the Zoology Foundation first needed to become a U.S. Department of Agriculture-inspected sanctuary. It got the green light from inspectors on

Zoology Foundation has two wallabies at its animal sanctuary, one of which was rescued from an animal hoarding situation in Nevada.

IF YOU GO Frankie the potbellied pig greets Avie Rosacci, executive director of the Zoology Foundaton in Larkspur.

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS May 12, Rosacci said.

For now, the sanctuary’s two camels will be kept in a nearby pasture until USDA-approved fencing can be constructed, a $50,000 project for which the organization is seeking donations.

The sanctuary will host a fundraiser at Comedy Works-South on July 11 toward that goal.

In the meantime, Zoology will wel-

come the public to meet its other 140 animals.

Foundation started with a bet The sanctuary doesn’t function like a zoo, where people learn basic facts about the animal species they see, Rosaaci said.

“We want them to make a connection with the animals,” said Maggie Lantzy, the sanctuary manager and program director. “Not just look at them through a fence.”

Zoology will specifically seek to teach people how to responsibly own animals and prevent them from needing to be sent to sanctuaries, Lantzy said. Most of the 140 animals at Zoology were rescue animals.

“What we’re talking about is how they ended up here,” Rosacci said.

Jensen started the sanctuary with money from her parents given to her and her siblings under the specific instruction to start a foundation serving a cause important to them.

Jensen had a background working with performance horses, running pet stores and a general love for animals.

“I’ve always ... taken in sick animals and rescued animals my whole life,” Jensen said.

When it came time to open a foundation, she started with camels — and it all began with a bet.

Jensen was at dinner with friends who bet her she could find a camel for purchase on Craigslist. No way, Jensen said. Someone pulled out an iPad, opened Craigslist, made the search and found an orphaned camel, less than a month old, for sale.

So Jensen bought the youngster and named him Chewie.

She bottle-fed him, housing him among her horses, and then bought another orphaned camel about three months old when Chewie needed a friend.

Chewie and his friend Hans are now 7 or 8 years old and have since lived at the Zoology Foundation, which grew slowly over the years, Jensen said.

“They’re the reason the Zoology

Zoology Foundation, an animal sanctuary with 140 animals, is at Crooked Willow Farms, 10554 S. Perry Park Road.

Its animals include: • 13 alpacas • 7 angora goats • 5 ferrets • 2 camels • 2 wallabies • 2 rabbits • 2 llamas • 1 African-spurred tortoise • 1 pot-bellied pig • Birds such as an owl, peacocks, geese, chickens and ducks The Zoology Foundation will open to the public this summer. For more information, visit zoologyfoundation.org.

Foundation exists,” Lantzy said of the camels. She hopes they can return to the sanctuary soon.

Variety of animals rescued As a private sanctuary, Zoology began building animal enclosures that would work for a variety of animals and customized them based on what types of animals they took in, Jensen said.

That includes the 87-pound tortoise, Toogie, who is 16 years old and was destined to be euthanized before Jensen took him from his previous owners.

They’ve got Frankie, a potbellied big who’d been evicted from its owners’ apartment complex, and two wallabies, one of which came from an animalhoarding situation in Nevada. Wallabies are members of the kangaroo family mostly found in Australia.

“Just like people hoard stuff,” Lantzy said, “they hoard animals.”

The sanctuary is also home to alpacas, llamas, horses, rabbits, ferrets and a variety of birds, although some are wild birds that invited themselves to make the foundation’s pond their home.

The bunch are cared for by three fulltime employees, a handful of volunteers and a network of local veterinarians, Rosacci said.

The group is excited to share the sanctuary with the public, said Rosacci, who credited Jensen with envisioning it all.

“She has,” he said, “some big dreams.”

Parker Days offers perfect launch for season IF YOU GO

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The calendar may say summer begins on June 22, but as every local knows, the season hits Parker a couple weeks before the solstice each year.

Parker Days kicks off three and a half days of funnel cakes, food trucks and family fun on June 8 at 5 p.m.

“This is a community event where people can spend a weekend, or a night, and have fun with their families and their neighbors,” said Sara Crowe, special events coordinator for the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce.

The annual “Sneak Peek” concert, featuring Bret Michaels of the ‘80s hair metal band Poison, begins at 7 p.m. June 8. Country-western upand-comers Midland will headline the last night of music on the main stage on June 10 at 9:30 p.m.

Other first-night activities for 2017 include free stilt-walking instruction, motorized go-karts and an oversized bubble machine on Mainstreet.

Mountain Vista captures soccer title

Quite the feller: Legend’s baseball coach has ‘had a great run’

L

Members of the Mountain Vista girl’s soccer team celebrate one of their three goals. The Eagles defeated Arapahoe 3-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on May 24 in the 5A state final.

Golden Eagles defeat Arapahoe 3-1 for 5A crown

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer doesn’t claim to be a prophet, but she seems to have a non-spiritual way of predicting the future for her girls soccer team.

After a 1-0 overtime loss to ThunderRidge on March 28, Echtermeyer said it was early and “when it comes time to get the big wins later, then we’ll take care of that.”

And that’s what the Golden Eagles did as Mountain Vista captured the Class 5A soccer title for the fourth time in school history with a 3-1 victory over Arapahoe on May 24 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

It was the 15th straight win for Vista, which finished 17-2-1, a mark that included two shootout victories in the playoffs.

Arapahoe, which was bidding for its ninth state title, ended the campaign with a 15-5-0 record.

Mountain Vista came out aggressively against the Warriors, which had not surrendered a goal in four previous playoff games.

But the Warriors had the early momentum and Vista freshman goalie Baileigh Baker was scrambling and twice left an open net.

Members of Mountain Vista girl’s soccer team display their new state championship banner and trophy. The Eagles defeated Arapahoe 3-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City May 24.

Arapahoe, however, didn’t take advantage of the opportunities.

Vista senior Avery Adams kicked the ball away to prevent one potential goal in the first minute of the game and teammate Shelby Unruh, another senior defender, did the same thing six minutes later to keep the match scoreless.

“I saw the girl was shooting it,” Adams said. “I tried to get back for my team and luckily, it was shot right at me. It helped us stay in the game early.

“It was huge because it was in the first minute. It is unexplainable how I feel about winning the

state championship.”

Last season, Grandview was celebrating after beating Vista in the championship game. But the Golden Eagles were rejoicing after a goal by Katie Joella and two by Continental League Co-Player of the Year Taeya Schueppert put Mountain Vista ahead 3-0 before Arapahoe finally scored on a free kick by Sydney Maxson with 2:44 left in the game.

Joella’s goal in the 20th minute came after a centering pass from SEE SOCCER, P32

egend baseball will not be the same next season.

Scott Fellers has been Legend’s baseball coach since the school opened in 2008. He is retiring from the coaching post and his last game was a 13-12 loss to Cherry Creek in the Class 5A state baseball tournament on May 22. The OVERTIME Titans were 17-7 in Fellers’ farewell season.

“I could not have asked for a better season with me going out and retiring,” Fellers, 46, said. “I’m fortunate to have some good kids and everything kind of worked for us this year.

Jim Benton It’s a good way to go out.

“We beat all the big teams, won the league (Continental), won the district and played high-level baseball.”

Fellers’ teams won or shared three league championships, captured four district titles and was the Class 5A state runner-up in 2012.

He will continue to teach at Legend.

“I will have two kids in high school next year and a fourth-grader as well,” he said. “It’s just time I focus on my kids.

I’ve had a great run, had fun, had great relationships and good teams. It’ll be different because this is all I’ve done.

“I’m just going to take a year off, teach and see what the future brings.”

It worked out well It was an experiment that had a good outcome.

Freshman Ashlen Grote joined sophomore Amanda Pruitt as Mountain Vista’s No. 1 doubles team for the Western Slope Invitational at the start of the season, and Grote and Pruitt finished the year as the school’s first state champions.

“They started the season together as an experiment and they ended up never splitting up,” coach Jim Flanigan said.

“They won that tournament and never looked back. We’ve had a few runners-up and a lot of third- and fourth-place finishers, but they are the school’s first state champions. It was a lot of fun watching them this year. They have a lot of Mountain Vista tennis ahead of them.”

Back in coaching Former Highlands Ranch basketball coach Bob Caton found it difficult to refrain from coaching.

I saw him sitting in the stands, watching a few area games last season. I figured he missed being on the sidelines and might return.

It came as no surprise that he was recently named the new head boys basketball coach at Mullen.

He said it “The last three days has been a wild ride. I love and believe in my teammate bothers and we fought our way through,” Pierce, a senior first baseman, said. “We knew if we came out and did our thing we would be OK. We did that and we won the state title.”

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian won three games in three days, capping the run on May 28 by outscoring Evergreen 7-3 in the weather-delayed Class 4A state baseball championship game at the Regency Athletic Complex on the Metropolitan State University of Denver campus.

“This is a great team with 21 guys who have been with us since the start of the playoffs, which gives us a lot of depth,” Eagles coach Brian Bonn said.

“I feel Valor has a great legacy. We are not all about winning. Rather I am very proud of the Christian commitment, the way they work in the weight room, on the practice field and in our games, and I am so proud of all the people who have been in the stands supporting us all year long.”

He said the quality depth of the pitching staff was a key to the team repeating as state champion.

“Pitching depth was a question mark at the start of the season,” he said. “But guys stepped up and we had six guys we could count on to pitch quality innings dfor us any time we called on them.

There is no question that our pitchers took care of business all season long.

They threw well and our guys provided run support, which was the formula

Key moments The Eagles went down in order in the first inning but then sent nine players to the plate in the top of the second inning as they parlayed seven hits, including three doubles, to jump out to a 5-0 lead. Valor starting pitcher Zach Reid blanked the Cougars for four innings but Evergreen pushed two runs across the plate in the home half of the fifth inning to cut the Eagles’ lead to 5-2.

Evergreen was able to score one run off the combined relief-pitching efforts of Ethan Zemla and Justin Estes, who

each pitched one inning. Valor padded its lead as it scored a pair of insurance runs in the top of the seventh as Noah Kuzma and Joel Pierce each hit an RBI double.

Key players/statistics In the championship game, a trio of Eagles, Brady Buehler, Kuzma and Austin Howell, each drove in two runs and Pierce drove in one run. Kuzma and Pierce each had a pair of doubles.

So close for Highlands Ranch’s Chun The Falcons’ junior was second at state after firing a 71 to pull into a playoff

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch junior Jenna Chun fashioned a 1-under-par 71 in the final round to tie for medalist honors in the Class 5A State High School Championships at The Club at Rolling Hills. However, she lost the state championship on the third playoff hole to Grandview’s Amy Chitkoksoong.

JIM BENTON

Highlands Ranch junior Jenna Chun was in 13th place after an opening-round 83 on May 22. In the final round the next day, however, she carded the lowest round of the tournament with a 1-under-par 71 to climb into a playoff to determine the Class 5A state champion.

But in the playoff at The Club at Rolling Hills in Golden, Chun was unable to capitalize on makeable putts on the first two holes.

Grandview’s Amy Chitkoksoong captured the state title on the third playoff hole, the par-4, 13th.

Chun handled her disappointment with grace.

“I was just kind of too nervous,” she said.

“It was only my second playoff that I’ve ever been in. But, hey, it’s all about getting better.”

On the first playoff hole, Chun three-putted from 25-feet, including a 4-footer that could have ended the extra session. After a nice approach shot on the second playoff hole, she had a 3-foot putt to win, but the effort rimmed out.

SEE GOLF, P33

Looking back The Eagles took the same path to their second title as they did last year by coming through the loser’s bracket to win the championship.

In 2016, Valor lost early in the doubleelimination format then came back to earn a spot in the finals. Last year, the Eagles had to beat formerly unbeaten Pueblo West to win the title.

This year, the Eagles lost a game but then won three must-win games in a row. The first game was a 7-0 win over Air Academy. In that contest, junior Luke Ziegler pitched six shutout innings, gave up three hits, walked three and struck out five.

He also had three hits and drove in three runs.

On May 27, Valor posted a comefrom behind 8-5 win over Thompson Valley. The Eagles trailed 5-3 but tied the score in the top of the sixth then scored three runs in the top of the seventh to post the win. Kuzma had a two-run homer in that game.

Golden Eagles can’t close out Creek Mountain Vista eliminated after late rally by Bruins

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista came within one strike and one out from advancing to the final day of the double-elimination Class 5A baseball tournament.

Cherry Creek, however, rallied in the May 26 elimination game to end the Golden Eagles’ season with a 9-8, eight-inning victory at All-City Stadium in Denver.

Vista went into the bottom of the seventh inning with an 8-5 lead, and junior left-handed starter Jack Liffrig retired the first two batters.

He allowed his first hit in 19 batters when Cody Schultz tripled to right field and Tanner O’Tremba followed with a two-run homer.

A walk and a single to pinch hitter Andy Beyene put Bruins on first and second. Liffrig through he had pinch hitter Gunnar Garcia called out on a game-ending called strike and jumped off the mound when his pitch was called a ball.

Garcia delivered a game-tying single before Liffrig managed to end the inning with a called strike three on the eighth Bruin to come to the plate.

“I can’t really say too much right now,” Vista coach Ron Quintana said. “We had to go back to work.”

Junior Jake Lawrence, who pitched six innings of scoreless relief for the Bruins and collected the win, allowed a hit in the top of the eighth but the Golden Eagles couldn’t score.

Cherry Creek won the game on Cody Schultz’s bloop hit off reliever Alex Clouthier in the bottom of the inning, which drove home Isaac Kron.

Mountain Vista, which beat Creek 5-3 in eight innings in the third game of the season, finished with an 18-7 record.

However the ball went toward Joella, who was tied up by defender Maxson but Joella managed to bounce the ball back into the net.

Schueppert scored into a wideopen net to make it 2-0 in the 30th minute and added the Golden Eagles’ third goal in the second half.

“It’s a great feeling knowing that we wanted to win state especially after last season falling short,” Schueppert said. “That was our motivation and playing for each other. We looked at it one game at a time but we had the belief we could get here.

Mountain Vista’s Jack Liffrig (15) had a strong game but couldn’t keep Cherry Creek down in the end as the Bruins tied the game in the bottom of the seventh and won 9-8 in the eighth.

It appeared the Golden Eagles

“We just wanted to work as hard as we could and getting the first goal helped us. I just wanted to give everything I had for the team and whenever there was an opportunity I gave it all I had.”

Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire said the two chances that Arapahoe missed early in the game made a huge difference.

“In a game like this when those chances come, we have to finish them,” Hampshire said. “Through our playoff run, our goal scorers have been scoring 99.9 percent of the time.

“Soccer is the most fickle sport in the world. You can have those chances and not put them away, your opponent can counter those chances and put them away. That can be the difference and that’s what happened.”

had a good chance of winning the game against Creek that started late because of a lightning delay.

Vista scored four runs in the first but Creek tallied five in the bottom of the inning. Mountain Vista added four more runs in the second and Liffrig blanked the Bruins until the bottom of the seventh.

“That’s been Liffrig all year,” Quintana said. “That’s what we

expect. That first inning, both pitchers were amped up and ready to go and so were the hitters. Both teams came out swinging. I don’t think the delay had anything to do with it.

The guys were just ready to play.”

Zach Paschke, John Krysa, Drew Stahl and Clouthier each had two hits for Vista. Clouthier had three RBIs and Elisandro Aragon drove in a pair of runs.

“Jenna hit the ball great in the playoff,” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker said. “But she was just nervous over those putts. You have to put yourself under the gun like that to practice on how to handle the pressure like that and she got some good experience.

“We’re really proud of her. She played great and was the fourth golfer we have had to finish as the state runner-up. Those greens were hard to putt. Jenna has been competing for about four years and they are hard for somebody at that level to deal with.”

Rock Canyon’s Ameila Lee, the opening-round leader after a 75, needed to birdie the par 5, 18th hole to advance into the playoff but finished in third place with a two-day total of 156.

“I didn’t play as well as I wanted to but it was OK because I had a lot of fun,” Lee said. “I really wanted to play well for the team and for the school.”

Caton left his head coaching position at Highlands Ranch after the 201415 season. He coached eight seasons for the Falcons and coached 37 years with 505 career wins at Highlands Ranch, Manual, Denver West, George Washington and Aurora Central.

Shootouts should go Winners of state playoff soccer games should not be determined by penalty kick shootouts.

I know it’s in the rules and shootouts are used to determine winners across the world.

In Colorado high school competition, after two sudden-victory, 15-minute overtime sessions, if a match is still tied, then a penalty kick shootout

Rock Canyon, the leader in the team standings after the opening round, came in second with a 483 total with three of the four players’ scores counting in the standings.

Ralston Valley came from 15 strokes behind with a second-round 229 to capture the state championship. Highlands Ranch tied for sixth, Cherry Creek was ninth, Arapahoe 11th, Legend 12th and ThuderRidge 13th.

“The Ralston girls played very well,” Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling said.

“We’re always glad to be up in those top two or three teams. Our program keeps getting stronger and stronger all the time. We only lose a couple kids.

The girls played well.

“Amelia had a bunch of pressure on her. She had the team pressure and pressure to help herself. This is a hard course to putt for anybody, and you get that extra little bit of pressure and it makes a difference.”

Other top finishers from south Metro schools included Payton Canon of Cherry Creek, who tied for sixth, and Rock Canyon’s Alexis Chan, who tied for 14th place.

begins. That’s fine and exciting for regular-season games, but come on, there has to be a better way in the playoffs that involves the entire team to break the tie.

Shootouts generally come down to the players taking the kicks making mistakes — a keeper has no chance unless he or she guesses right.

I don’t have a perfect solution. My only suggestion for an alternative is that a tie game could be suspended and the teams would resume another sudden-victory overtime on the next playable day. There were several baseball games suspended this spring because of weather and resumed the next day.
