New management draws opposition HRCA sells division that managed homeowners’ associations

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Some neighborhood homeowners’ associations are upset with the recent decision by the Highlands Ranch Community

Association to sell the division that managed the community’s homeowners’ associations to an outside company, saying they should have been notified and included in the process.

“We are going to work through this,” Scott Fitzgerald, a board member of Stratton Ridge Homeowner Association, said at a July 19 HRCA meeting. “But I am disappointed in the actions of the HRCA in doing this in such secrecy.”

HRCA officials said they were not legally required to inform homeowners or delegates about the June 1 transaction and emphasized the decision was a business one related to increasing expenses and other administration factors.

House Bill 13-1277, which took effect July 2015, called for detailed and definitive licensing requirements and specific obligations of management companies. Issues such as the amount

of time and money spent on the property management division also rose last summer, HRCA board members said.

“It didn’t make sense for business, with small margins and lots of new regulations,” said Jeff Suntken, president of the HRCA board of directors.

The HRCA spent just under $550,000 on property management expenses in 2015, up from $373,000 in 2014 and more than $100,000 greater than any prior

year, Suntken said.

The community association will continue to manage commercial facilities, such as the four recreation centers in Highlands Ranch, along with enforcing design standards.

The Sub-Association Division managed 20 homeowners associations in Highlands Ranch.

On June 1, it sold the division to Hammersmith Management Sale continues on Page 5

‘I caught a Pikachu in her kitchen’ Smartphone users around metro area catch Pokémon fever

By Casey Van Divier Special to Colorado Community Media Clark Wilson, 12, was at summer camp in Massachusetts earlier this month when the new app, Pokémon Go, was released for iPhone and Android.

“All the camp counselors were talking about it as soon as it came out,” Wilson said.

Though the campers weren’t allowed to play the game during camp, counselors started catching Pokémon immediately.

“The app was pretty big news,” said Wilson, back home in Highlands Ranch and looking for Pokémon with his mom at Civic Green park last week.

“I downloaded it after I got home.”

He thought to himself: “If someone took one of my two daughters, what would I do?”

The answer: “Pretty much anything.”

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

SANDY HOLCOMB

Highlands Ranch Metro District Park Ranger

My background I’m a native to Colorado — I was born in Littleton.

I moved to Arizona when I was younger where I trained in gymnastics for about six years. I made the national team for three years and was on two world championship teams. I competed abroad in Belgium, China and Russia.

I went to Arizona State University for a couple of years while I trained for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

I had to stop competing in gymnastics because of injury but I got a full ride to the University of Utah, where I graduated with a degree in exercise in sports science.

I moved back to this area with my husband and coached gymnastics for about 10 years. I was also working for the Highlands Ranch Metro District as a receptionist and that bridged into a park ranger job.

It’s been very fun — a lot of adventure — just like gymnastics, ironically.

My day-to-day job We patrol the area and make sure that people are following the rules — we make sure dogs are on leashes, check for graffiti.

We are also members of Littleton Fire Department’s wildland team and assist with fires, whether it’s crowd management or medical help.

Park rangers are commissioned through the Douglas County Sheriffs Office so we also assist with things like snake relocation or coyote sightings.

We manage 25 parks and 70 miles of trail in Highlands Ranch. There are 5,000 homes that border the open space and we

make sure homeowners are using the land safely.

My interest in beekeeping It was kind of a curiosity thing — I have family members in the area that beekeep. It turned into a really neat hobby that got me outside.

I started teaching kids about the advantages of bees and why they shouldn’t be scared of them, like honey, bees wax and how important they are to agriculture. It’s blossomed to something that I have never expected.

I’m the education committee chair of the High Land Bee Keeping Club and I’ll be teaching Bee-Keeping 101 class in the fall through a partnership through the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

What I’ve learned Gymnastics was a very solitary existence and I loved that. I loved having a central focus and working independently.

As a park ranger, I’m constantly working with people. It’s a little different than how I started my vocation — being a highly competitive gymnast for 18 years.

Working with people is different — and I really like it. I now have so many different connections to people of all ages, from preschoolers to adults.

I get a unique viewpoint of the spectrum and that’s been really satisfying.

Miles for Tuesday helps keep girl’s memory alive Castle Rock child’s cancer fight gave impetus to 5K event

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shortly after Tuesday Whitt was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was 21 months old, her parents began a mission to help children fighting cancer and their families.

“At that point, we didn’t know what the outcome would be,” said Charley Whitt, her father.

Tuesday died in January 2009, about seven months after her diagnosis. She left behind Charley and her mother, Jessica Whitt, as well as a twin sister, Piper, and two older brothers, Spencer and Axel.

The Whitts, who live in Castle Rock, are keeping her memory alive with Miles for Tuesday, which began as a group of

runners and cyclists raising funds and has raised more than $190,000 for charity over seven years.

“The original strategy was to piggyback off of existing races,” said Bill Mell, a friend of the Whitts and an avid runner.

Fundraising teams were assembled to run the Colfax Marathon and the Rock N’ Roll Marathon in Denver, the Backcountry Wilderness Half Marathon in Highlands Ranch and more, including several cycling races.

Last year, Miles for Tuesday became its own dedicated 5K race, hosted by Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton and running a route along the South Platte River Trail. It drew about 150 runners.

The race returns to Breckenridge for the second year on Aug. 6.

‘She took care of . . . everyone she met’ More than 700 people celebrate the life of Susan Cash

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

More than 700 people filled the sanctuary and balcony of Greenwood Community Church.

It was so full the afternoon of July 22 that about 20 people had to sit in the church hallway.

They had come to say goodbye to a beloved mother, wife, teacher and friend — but instead of the traditional black attire they wore blues, pinks and white.

That’s what Susan Cash wanted. This was a celebration of her life. She wanted laughter and smiles. And she wanted those closest to her to move forward.

Cash lost a yearlong battle to breast cancer on July 17.

People from near and far gathered at Greenwood Village church, on BelCash leview Avenue in Greenwood Village, to remember her and her impact on the community.

Cash taught special needs at Clear Sky Elementary in Castle Rock and Larkspur Elementary and was the head tennis coach at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. She was a Sunday school teacher and a team mom.

She leaves behind her husband, Ric Cash, Mountain Vista’s head football coach, and their five children, Zachary, Kathryn, Jessica, Kariss and Jackson.

Zachary Cash first received news that his mother was sick when he was in college. It was never part of his plan, he said at the service.

What amazed and inspired him most about his mother was her ability to love, he said. “She was truly a mother in the way that she took care of, not only the family, but everyone she met.”

She had an impact on everyone — regardless of whether she knew them for

A remembrance video of Susan Cash plays at her service at Greenwood Community Church on July 22. The teacher, friend, mother and wife leaves behind her husband and their five children. Photo by Alex DeWind years or hours, Zachary said. That showed by the amount of people at her service.

Ric Cash remembered his wife’s childlike innocence and spirit.

“She was just as silly — if not more silly — than the kids,” he said at the service.

The past 15 months have been challenging for the family.

Cash was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after a mammogram in May 2015. After 22 weeks of chemotherapy and two bilateral mastectomies, Cash’s pathol-

ogy showed cancer in some cells. She then had five weeks of radiation.

Her medical scan was clean in March but the breast cancer returned mid-June. It had metastasized to the outer lining of her brain, spine and lungs.

The family anticipated the end of her battle.

“There is almost a sense of relief that we are on the other side,” Ric Cash said.

She’s no longer suffering, Ric and Zachary said, no longer in pain.

Over the past year, the Highlands Ranch community has rallied to support the Cash family. Last October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month, families hosted fundraisers at local restaurants and schools, held carwashes, cooked weekly dinners for the family and consistently checked in.

Ric Cash thanked those at the service for their support.

“We have no blood relatives in Colorado,” he said, “but we are surrounded by family.”

nation with a significant problem, according to the U.S. Department of State.

In 2015, the U.S. Department of State named Thailand a Tier 3 country, which means its governments do not fully comply or make a significant effort to comply with the standards of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a federal statute passed in 2000 to help protect victims of human trafficking.

There are an estimated 3 million to 4 million migrant workers in Thailand, the U.S. Department of State reports, and most are from Thailand’s neighboring countries, including Burma, Laos and Cambodia. Human trafficking, more specifically sex trafficking, is common in business establishments, such as massage parlors and karaoke bars.

Migrant workers relocate willingly to Thailand seeking employment, the U.S. Department of State says, but some are believed to be forced, coerced or defrauded into labor or sex trafficking.

Proctor agrees.

“Thailand is a hub for human trafficking,” Proctor said, “and we have to fight a lot of cultural context with this stuff.”

Human trafficking is also in the U.S. and in Colorado, said Sterling Harris, chief deputy director of the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance (COVA), a nonprofit organization committed to fairness and healing for crime victims, their families and communities through leadership, education and advocacy.

In 2008, COVA was asked to take over a human trafficking program from the Salvation Army. It only had a handful of clients in the beginning, Harris said.

From March to July this year, COVA had 30 new clients. The program advocates for about 50 percent men, 50 percent women for both sex and labor trafficking.

“We focus on empowerment,” Harris said, “and giving people the tools to help them live their lives free of exploitation.”

Exploitation, she said, has the same effect globally.

In May, Proctor spent two weeks in Thailand with his team — a social worker,

Inc., a Denver-based management company that’s been in business for 35 years and manages more than 200 homeowner associations.

The sale helps HRCA focus on its core business and regain some of its prior, unaccounted-for expenses, said Sunkten.

“It was good for the sub-associations because Hammersmith Management Inc. is a Colorado company that can provide significantly more services to the associations than were available from HRCA,” he said.

Terms of the purchase agreement do not allow disclosure of the purchase price, however, “HRCA’s financial records are transparent and reflect all revenue received by the organization,” Sunkten said.

Last year, the sub-association revenue was $525,148 and expenses were $549,864 for a net loss of $24,536. The revenue for all of HRCA in 2015 was $25,034,095.

As part of the new contract, HMI offered jobs to five employees who worked under HRCA’s property management. No employee lost his or her job.

A team member of Paladin Rescue Alliance, front center, talks to young women at a school in Thailand. Jon Proctor, of Highlands Ranch, started the nonprofit organization last March to combat human trafficking in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). “You have to fight a lot of cultural context with this stuff,” Proctor said.

He leased a spacious home that will soon be a safe haven for victims. It sits on six to seven acres of rural land in northern Thailand and can house up to 40 girls. It also has a built-in church, which he said is essential during rehabilitation.

“We will give these girls counseling, protection, education and job training skills,” said Proctor.

Proctor hopes to accomplish four goals through his organization: build alliances with other government and non-government organizations, including Thai Royal Police and Thai Military Rangers; increase prevention programs in schools and villages; rescue victims; and provide aftercare in the rescue home.

He said he and his team will conduct rescues from brothels or massage parlors that require backup security. And they also will focus on community outreach, such as talking to young women who may be involved or know someone involved in the industry.

During his last visit, Proctor met a young woman who had been exposed to

Three organizations are negotiating to sign contracts and two have terminated their agreements with HMI. At the July 19 meeting, several delegates — who represent Highlands Ranch neighborhoods — expressed concern over the HRCA’s decision to sign a contract without first informing them.

But Suntken explained the HRCA had entered into a non-disclosure agreement with HMI during negotiations. “Keeping a divestiture confidential is the only way for it to be successful,” he said.

Fitzgerald said he was concerned that the HRCA board had received bad advice from HRCA staff and its legal counsel.

Because of the change in property management, he said, he has checks from homeowners piled up on his desk.

“In regards to this deal,” said Fitzgerald, “it’s a mess.”

Other delegates argued HMI’s terms of services will cost homeowners more money.

But board members insisted the decision was in the best interest of the HRCA and the subassociations.

“If there is something going on,” said Dennis Seymour, treasurer of the HRCA board of directors, “we will get involved so we can get it resolved.”

The woman, who was not named to protect her privacy, didn’t understand what Paladin Rescue Alliance was at first.

She then realized the intention was to help people like her.

“I feel good about having someone caring and willing to help change my life,” the 21-year-old girl said through an email interview with an intermediary.

Proctor acknowledges that the young women have hopes and dreams.

“These girls might be `victims,’ ” he said, “but when they come into our home, they are `residents.’ ” Proctor will return to Thailand this August for about a month to get the house up and running. He will also meet with other organizations to prepare for rescue operations, which are set to start this October.

In the meantime, he’s looking for volunteers and donations for prevention programs, rescue operations and the rescue home.

“We have a house sponsorship model,” he said, “rather than sponsoring an individual girl.”

Historical society sets Aug. 1 as release date for ‘Images of America: Highlands Ranch’

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com David Johnston, the Highlands Ranch Historical Society historian, remembers Highlands Ranch in the 1970s as an empty area south of County Line Road with miles and miles of grassy fields.

“I picked up cans on a dirt road that doesn’t exist anymore,” he said.

His interest in the history of Highlands Ranch, along with raising his 11-year-old daughter in the unincorporated Douglas County community, are what inspired his first book, titled “Images of America Highlands Ranch.”

It will be released to the public on Aug. 1.

The book is part of Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series, described as an “ambitious collection of chronicles that accurately capture the essence of what gives each American small town, neighborhood, and downtown its unique flavor.”

The 127-page book tells the story of Highlands Ranch from the first homestead owners in 1859 to the current happenings, including the closing of Town Center’s Tattered Cover in 2015.

The book is dedicated to “everyone who takes part in making Highlands Ranch history,” Johnston wrote, “including all who have lived, worked, visited or taken part in an event.”

The cover is a sepia-toned photo of the Highlands Ranch Mansion and more than 200 black-and-white photos fill the pages.

The Highlands Ranch Metro District, the Highlands Ranch Mansion and the Douglas County History Research Center

WHERE TO GET A BOOK “Images of America: Highlands Ranch” will be sold at Highlands Ranch’s four recreation centers: Northridge, Eastridge, Southridge and Westridge. The Highlands Ranch Historical Society also will sell the book at its meetings and events. And local libraries, including James H. LaRue on South Ridgeline Boulevard, will have copies.

The cost of a hardcover copy is $26.

For information, contact Highlands Ranch Historical Society board member Nancy Linsenbigler at 720-932-6990.

contributed most photos, but Johnston took recent ones with his iPhone 6.

The format, he said, makes for an easy read.

“This book is ideal for someone who wants to catch up on Highlands Ranch history, but doesn’t necessarily want to spend a lot of time on it,” Johnston said.

For the past year, Johnston — a director of software engineering by day — spent weekends and nights perfecting his book. Each chapter has a different focus, including early homesteads, mansion and ranch history, the development of a planned community, outdoor activities and the building of that town feel.

“I think my favorite thing was tying it all together and making a cohesive view of Highlands Ranch history,” he said.

Johnston had help from historical society members, including board member Nancy Linsenbigler.

“This book is a first,” she said. “We are all really proud that we could put together — in one place — the history of Highlands Ranch clear up to present day.”

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

The school district security update

By Mike DiFerdinando | mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Douglas County School District officials recently gave the community a comprehensive update on district security, including clarification and details on the training and potential use of 10 new semiautomatic rifles.

During the July 19 school board meeting, officials also explained changes they have made regarding school security and school resource officers based on an investigative report into the 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting in which a student killed a classmate and himself.

Community discussion Community members voiced concerns in the weeks following the April announcement of the district’s purchase of the rifles. The purchase price for the guns was $12,300 and was approved by then-Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, who has since left for a new job in Texas.

Chief Operating Officer Thomas Tsai apologized for the lack of public discussion on the matter, but said in the case of security, the district can’t be 100 percent transparent.

“This is one of those unique, narrow areas where by being too transparent, you do give away the advantage from the people you are trying to prevent from knowing things about our schools, or protocol and our safety,” Tsai said.

Board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said the presentation helped put to rest many rumors that had been circulating on social media about the weapons and that it “really lifted a big concern off of our community.”

Qualifications for armed security The district has employed armed security officers since 2003.

Security director Richard Payne explained that the eight armed officers currently employed by the district all have extensive police or military backgrounds and have all earned POST — Police Officer Standards Training — certificates. Payne described the certificate as “similar to a teacher receiving a teacher’s license.”

“My team is very well qualified to not only hold handguns, but in my opinion, long rifles,” Payne said.

Insurance requirements for armed security include firearms training once a year — though DCSD requires it twice per year, through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office — as well as POST certification or its equivalent.

Responsibilities for armed officers “In no shape or form was a decision made that we want to start our own police department within the school district,” Payne said. “(The thinking) was, I want to outfit my guys who may partner with a (school resource officer) or first responders and may be the first ones on scene.”

Armed security officers at the district have done training with local law enforcement to handle a number of potential duties in an emergency situation.

“When we did our active gunman training with the sheriff’s department, not only did we do active gunman training, but we also had medical trauma and response recovery training— applying turnicates and removing people from the building — that could be our role when we show up on scene too,” Payne said.

Other duties may include: custody issues, disruptions at schools, employee issues, school building checks and security at meetings.

Three coverage zones The Douglas County School District comprises 87 school and about 67,000 students. It is divided into three security coverage zones: Highlands Ranch, Parker and Castle Rock.

Highlands Ranch: Four high schools, four middle schools, 23 elementary schools and one alternative school.

Parker: Three high schools, three middle schools and 14 elementary schools.

Castle Rock: Two high schools, two middle schools, 12 elementary schools, one alternative school and an outdoor school.

Learning from Arapahoe Payne said the district has taken a number of the recommendations from an investigative report into the 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School and incorporated changes into its security plan.

Changes include having officers eat and take breaks at different times, wearing the same uniforms throughout the district — black pants and gray shirts that’s say “SECURITY” on the back — and performing more detailed reporting procedures for security checks.

In addition, school resource officers will be under the district safety department’s jurisdiction rather than reporting directly to individual schools. Evaluations of resource officers will now be done in part by the district and in part by the school they work at.

No presentation on Grace Davis report at meeting Sherman & Howard lawyer was unwilling to discuss investigation in public session

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A lawyer with the Denver-based law firm that handled the investigation into allegations of intimidation of a student by two school board members declined to discuss his findings at the July 19 Douglas County Board of Education meeting.

Gordon W. Netzorg of Sherman & Howard LLC, who conducted the investigation and wrote the report that cleared board members of wrongdoing, was scheduled to present but did not attend the board meeting.

“Mr. Netzorg’s position is that he was engaged to provide a report, which he did. That the report stands for itself, and if there were going to be any questions, he wanted that to only be in executive session,” said Robert Ross, school district attorney. “That is not what we had in mind, so his condition of an executive

session is not acceptable from my understanding of what the board wanted.”

The independent report, which was released the evening of June 20, focused on an incident in which school board President Meghann Silverthorn and Vice President Judith Reynolds spoke to Ponderosa High School student Grace Davis about a planned protest at her school in March. Davis recorded the conversation with the school board members and accusations arose that the two tried to intimidate the then-15-year-old student into not holding the protest.

During the June 21 school board meeting — at which a number of community members called for Silverthorn and Reynolds to step down — the board said Nertzorg would give a presentation on his findings at the July meeting.

The school board agreed April 19 to launch an independent investigation.

Davis was one of about 100 students at Ponderosa who held a peaceful protest March 9 to ask why teachers were leaving their school and the district. Before the rally, Silverthorn and Reynolds, noting concern about student safety and wanting to hear students’ views, met

with Davis at the school. Davis’ parents said they did not know about, nor give consent to, the meeting.

On July 19, the board discussed the report and asked Ross questions about the investigation process. Ross said he could not answer specific questions about the investigation. Silverthorn was not at the meeting.

Board member Anne-Marie Lemieux reiterated her stance that the meeting between Silverthorn, Reynolds and Davis was inappropriate and called for the community to learn from what had happened.

“We have had questions from the community about how we have handled this situation,” Lemieux said. “We have all made mistakes and mistakes have taken us away from the facts of what

actually happened and how we are going to make sure that never happens to any of our students ever again.”

Before and after the release of the report — which cost the district about $164,000 — Silverthorn and Reynolds faced criticism from community members and repeatedly were asked to resign.

Board member Doug Benevento admonished the rush to judgment in the matter, saying it was politically motivated and that it set a bad precedent.

“The message that has been sent to every employee in this district now, and it should send shivers up their spine, is that the minute that they may be on the wrong end of something, they could be subject to this kind of action,” Benevento said.

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The boyfriend of a woman whose disappearance is being investigated by the Littleton Police Department will face a preliminary hearing in September for the alleged sexual assault of a separate victim.

The disappearance of Charlene Roxanne Voight, 36, is being investigated as a crime, said Littleton Police Department spokesman Cmdr. Trent Cooper.

Jeffrey Scott Beier, 42, made his first appearance in court with public defenders on July 20. Beier did not speak and mostly looked down while in the courtroom.

He faces charges of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree assault, according to 18th Judicial District spokeswoman Vikki Migoya, and is being held on $100,000 bond at the Arapahoe County jail.

Cooper said the crimes Beier is accused of are unrelated to Voight’s disappearance, but did not elaborate further.

Voight’s car was recovered at a dirt lot at 5099 S. Rio Grande St., Cooper said.

The lot and an apartment in the downtown Littleton apartment complex at 5151 S. Rio Grande St. have been investigated as crime scenes and released. But Cooper would not divulge any information relating to the investigation and said that neither Beier nor anyone else has been named as a person of interest.

“We are working diligently to find out

what happened to Charlene,” he said at a press conference on July 19.

Cooper said that there was a previous domestic violence report out of California involving Beier and Voight, but did not offer any details.

“I don’t have knowledge of that case,” he said.

Voight recently moved to Colorado to live with Beier after graduating from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in Southern California. Her Facebook account indicated she lived in Parker, but Cooper said that it appeared that she and Beier were staying with a friend in Littleton.

“We’re not real clear on their living arrangeVoight ments at this time,” Cooper said.

Voight’s family reported her missing on July 8 after not hearing from her since June 29.

In addition to the Littleton Police Department, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s DepartBeier ment, Colorado Bureau of Investigation and 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office are working on the investigation.

The department is in discussion with Crime Stoppers about the possibility of offering a reward for information in the case, Cooper said.

Voight is 5 feet tall, 105 pounds and white with blond hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Littleton Police Department at 303794-1551 or the department’s tipline at 303-734-8268.

which is run by the Pablove Foundation, a pediatric cancer charity.

Thanks to partnerships and sponsorships covering the cost of putting on the event, all proceeds go straight to the cause, Charley said.

Shutterbugs, which started in Los Angeles and is now in several other cities around the country, teaches children with cancer the fundamentals of photography, culminating in an art show that in turn raises more money.

“What we saw in the hospital was the importance of whole family wellness,” Charley said, noting many other organizations that focus on cancer research already exist.

Early on, Miles for Tuesday helped pay for an art therapist at the hospital. Children’s hosted Shutterbugs a few years ago, but the Whitts want to bring it to Denver permanently.

“I think there are lots of ways you can help out kids with cancer,” Charley said. “I think this is a great way to let kids see how

Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that is most common in infants and young children, according to the American Cancer Society. It starts in developing nerve cells.

Tuesday Whitt was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in July 2008, when she was 21 months old, after her parents noticed diminished energy and appetite, especially compared to her twin sister, Piper. After seven months of treatment, Tuesday died on Jan. 30, 2009.

VOICES

LOCAL

Focus on appreciation as life scurries along Actually, time flies whether we are having fun or not. I mean, here we are already at the end of July. Seven months have passed since the beginning of the year. I am not sure about you, but for me the time has absolutely flown by.

I was having a conversation with a gentleman today. He has three children and the youngest one is a 9-month-old daughter. He passionately shared how he feels about his wife and children, but he lamented on how fast they all seem to be growing up and changing, especially his 9-month-old daughter.

That resonated with me because this year my 27-year-old daughter will be getting married. And I think back and wonder: Where has the time gone? We have had so many wonderful, beautiful and happy times together, and they all seem like they happened just yesterday. From taking her on walks and to her first days of school, through her high school and teen years, and then being able to have fun with her as an adult with her friends and her fiancé. But I swear it was just yesterday that she was 10 years old and we were on our way to her first concert at Red Rocks. Time flies when you are having fun.

And again, time flies even when we are not having fun. We may feel like a painful event turns minutes into hours and hours into weeks or even longer. Many of us who have lost a loved one know all too well the anguish and pain that comes along with watching someone suffer and then what that mourn-

ing feels like. And yet, as we get through the most terrible times and moments, all of a sudden we look back and say, where has the time gone, its seems like yesterday that we were together and it has actually been 3½ years since they have passed away. Time flies, even Michael Norton when we are not having fun.

WINNING For some of us WORDS business meetings feel like torture and the meeting cannot end soon enough. And for others we become completely energized and wish the meeting would keep going. Some of us suffer during the hour of worship, only showing up out of a sense of obligation and not for a true desire to be in a house of God. And then there are those of us who love being at worship services, get motivated by the music and inspired by the message and the word of God. But either way, whether we feel like time is dragging or time is flying, time is time and moves on its own schedule whether we want it to or not.

One of my favorite things to do is go to concerts, especially seeing some of my favorite singers and bands who are once again touring. They play the songs we all know by

heart and we get to sing along. And before we know it, two hours or in the case of Bruce Springsteen, four hours has gone by in the blink of an eye. Time flies when we are having fun.

Everything seems to happen in the blink of an eye. From kids growing up, to people passing away, to endless meetings and conference calls, inspiring worship services, ball games, concerts, family vacations, and even a great book. What we can probably all learn to do a little more of is appreciating each and every moment, hour, day, week, month and year that we have been blessed with here on earth.

When we look back, we should not lament so much as to where the time has gone, but instead we should look back in appreciation and with an attitude of gratitude for what we had the opportunity to experience.

Time flies, it sure does. And it flies whether we are having fun or not. So how about you, are you someone who needs to do a little more appreciating for each and every day or someone who is just allowing time to pass on by, fast or slow? Either way I would love to hear all about your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we enjoy the time that we have and that we have shared with others, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Business Manager AUDREY BROOKS abrooks@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Board members should get to work A recent headline in this newspaper said, “Meeting outbursts highlight tension” at the Douglas County School Board meeting. Maybe it should have been “Mob rule threatens to take over Douglas County School Board.”

I am thoroughly sick and tired of the manufactured crisis around student Grace Davis and the acrimony it has resulted in. If the recently elected minority directors Lemieux, Ray and Vogel think their job is to stir up division and distrust in the community, then they are doing a very good job of it. However, I think they were elected to make sure that teachers and schools function to the benefit of our students.

I think it’s high time they took their responsibilities seriously and started working with their counterparts and compromise as needed to get some work done. Do something constructive for our kids’ education — do your jobs!

Need for connections spurs different selections A friend of mine is on a dating site.

She told me all about it. I said that it sounded like the Orphan Train.

“Eleanor” said: “What’s that?”

“Saddest thing I’ve ever heard of,” I said.

The Orphan Craig Marshall Smith Train Movement QUIET operated between DESPERATION 1854 and 1929.

Trains filled with as many as 35 orphans left Eastern cities, and dropped off the orphans who were preordered by couples, largely in the Midwest.

But sometimes the children were “viewed” in various towns, like homeless dogs at an animal shelter.

About 200,000 were relocated.

Sometimes brothers and sisters were adopted separately.

The program was closely governed.

There were follow-up visits, to make sure the orphans were not being abused.

An orphan is a child whose parents are dead.

The most famous orphans are fictional.

Oliver Twist, Annie, and Bambi.

My parents are dead, but I am an adult.

Nevertheless, their absences still have a daily impact, and a nighttime one too.

I dream about them frequently.

I adopted and it has worked out brilliantly.

Not a child.

A dachshund.

My mother, as I have previously written, was adopted and it didn’t work out brilliantly.

Quite a few well-known people were adopted.

Former President Bill Clinton, Edward Albee, Maya Angelou, Jesse Jackson (“Charlie Henry Jackson adopted me, gave me his name, his encouragement, discipline and a high sense of self-respect”).

Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Truman Capote,

Harry Caray.

I tried to picture Capote and Caray spending some time together.

Eleanor said that she is lonely.

Loneliness is not a disease, but it affects your life as if it were. Some people thrive on being alone. I am an example. Others go to great lengths to try to find someone.

Eleanor said the dating site required a profile and some photographs of herself.

Hers said that she loves to ski and dance and that she cries when the Broncos lose.

I asked her if she was hoping to attract a mannequin wearing an orange shirt.

“It has nothing to do with you,” I said.

“What do you believe in with the strongest convictions? It can’t be the Broncos.”

The site also asked her to answer a whole bunch of questions about schooling and whether or not she drinks or smokes.

Once a day she receives a menu of potential matches predicated on her preferences.

For example, “You’re both non-smokers!”

That doesn’t exactly narrow it down, does it?

CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TRUE Children of all ages got the opportunity to explore trucks galore at the fifth annual Touch-A-Truck event July 23. The Highlands Ranch Community Association hosted the family-friendly event at Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd., with guest appearances from Flight For Life, Monster Truck, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Pro Disposal, Harley-Davidson and more. Main attractions included a fire engine, tractor, dumpster truck, an 18-wheeler, school bus and emergency vehicles. Adults enjoy the annual event just as much as the kids do, said Jamie Noebel, HRCA community relations manager. About 8,500 residents attended — 500 more than last year.

Time for a new approach I read with interest the recent article on heightened tensions between the school board and the community.

Everyone is calling for things to deescalate but nobody knows how to start.

I would like to offer a suggestion. Silverthorn and Reynolds (not the whole board or a representative of the board) could offer a well-publicized apology.

It could go something like this: “To Grace Davis, her family, and the public at large: We, Meghann Silverthorn and Judith Reynolds sincerely apologize for our actions in March regarding our closed-door meeting with Grace Davis. Although our actions were not technically illegal, we realize in retrospect that they were not in good judgment. We are not perfect and occasionally we fail to do the right and honorable thing as we know we should, especially as leaders, and for that we are sorry. We now realize that we were acting out of our own fear and insecurities and we were thinking more about ourselves than about the well-being of others. Grace Davis and all of the protesters should not be made to feel retribution for participating in peaceful acts of protest in this country. That is a violation of our rights as citizens, and we are sorry that we contributed to one of the first experiences of that nature for many of these kids.”

I suggest humility as the first major step in de-escalating tensions between the school board and the community.

That would be so refreshing! We need to recognize that instead of simply stating our points of view louder, as both sides are doing currently, or changing the subject or turning inward and holding our meetings

Smith Continued from Page 10

Cervantes, believe it or not, gave us the expression “looking for a needle in a haystack,” in Don Quixote.

That’s what it’s like if you are looking for love on the internet.

My neighbors are proof that it’s possible. Millions of others are still looking.

What some of us do instead is buy or adopt a pet.

Smitty has never asked to see my resume, and he doesn’t seem to care that

Families attend the fifth annual Touch-a-Truck event on July 23. The free event was open to the public, welcoming kids of all ages who have always wanted to explore police cars, military vehicles, helicopters, emergency vehicles and more.

without comment, we should try a different approach.

If we don’t, our problems will not dissipate but only intensify. I know I personally would have a higher level of trust and respect for a leader who is capable of apologizing. We can’t afford the time to stand around wondering what to do.

The answer is obvious. Please rise to the challenge.

Gail Holdeman Parker Initiative 75 not the answer Proponents of Initiative 75 are currently collecting signatures in our community in an attempt to get a “local control” initiative for oil and gas development on this November’s ballot. Initiative 75 seeks to amend the state constitution and allow local governments to unilaterally regulate oil and gas development and “enact prohibitions, moratoria, or limits on oil and gas development.”

The proponents of Initiative 75 would like you to believe that oil and gas regulation currently occurs only at the state level. In reality, local governments already play a significant role in any oil and gas development occurring within their communities. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission COGCC presently requires oil and gas companies to work with local communities to address concerns beginning in the project planning process, long before any drilling begins. Communities can designate Local Government Designees to serve as liaisons between the community and the COGCC, thus ensuring that all community concerns are addressed.

Additionally, local governments already have the right to negotiate a legally binding agreement with companies known as a “Memorandum of Understanding” to define how and where oil and gas development occurs within their communities.

I missed a few off-ramps when I was younger.

This is being written on the day after the Nice massacre. We went for a walk earlier when the sun was coming up and backlighting the trees across the street.

He trotted to his favorite tree. His mind wasn’t on anything else except that tree. It must be nice, I thought.

Then I wrote to Eleanor, and she said that she was crying about Nice.

I said, “Take out the part about the Broncos and put that in instead.”

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Ask yourself this: Which city council representatives or county commissioners are technically qualified to regulate the numerous complicated oil and gas development issues? Do they have the necessary expertise in engineering, geosciences or environmental sciences to ensure that oil and gas operations are conducted in a safe, environmentally responsible manner? The COGCC has this expertise.

The existing partnership between the

COGCC and local communities contributes significantly to making Colorado’s oil and gas regulations already some of the most stringent and comprehensive regulations in the nation. Initiative 75 claims to give local governments “local control,” but in reality it will only add unnecessary complications to our state’s already comprehensive regulations.

Brittany Goettling, left, looks at a monitor of her breathing and heart rates as Dr. Kelsey Asplin explains the readout in her Highlands Ranch office on July 14. Asplin says naturopathic doctors work with their patients to find the root causes of their health problems rather than trying to overpower the symptoms with medication.

Treating the whole person Holistic medicine takes a different route on the road to health

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Paige Fox takes a break before appointments in her office in Parker on Pikes Peak Drive. Fox says she went back to school to study homeopathy to give her children a chance for better lifelong health.

Paige Fox recognizes that many people don’t understand what she does.

“Ten years ago I would have thought all of this was crazy,” Fox said.

Fox is a certified classical homeopath with a home and practice in Parker. Born and raised in Germany, she relied on traditional medicine throughout her life. But having children changed her outlook on the cycle of getting sick, taking prescription medication and eventually getting sick again. Though she has a B.A. in business, she went back to school at 35 to study at Homeopathy School International in Boulder.

A patient’s perspective

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rachel Ellis, 41, lives in Ken Caryl and is Paige Fox’s patient at Holistic Homeopathy. She originally went to the Homeopathy School International with Fox, but stopped after six months to take care of her mother.

Ellis turned to homeopathic medicine because she was using prescription drugs for a variety of health issues, including stress, depression and eczema, but still didn’t feel healthy.

“I did cleanses and all this stuff but

nothing was sticking… I felt like I was a lost cause because my vital force was ruined by prescription medications. I kind of just said, ‘this is not for me’ and I moved on.”

Ellis Ellis also suffered a traumatic event last August when a visiting friend died of unknown causes in Ellis’ home while she was away at work. Her stress levels rose and she developed skin rashes shortly after.

“I wanted to learn something that I could give them to help them grow a strong immunity and become healthy and have a healthy life,” Fox, 41, said. “Kids do get sick and that’s very normal, but if you keep getting antibiotics it suppresses the immune system and the body doesn’t learn how to fight it itself.”

From skeptics to practitioners Dr. Kelsey Asplin’s initial skepticism toward holistic medicine ran even deeper than Fox’s.

“I thought it was all hogwash,” Asplin, 27, said. “I initially took the class so I would be able to have a platform to stand on to say that.”

Asplin, who lives and practices in Highlands Ranch, received her doctorate in June 2015 from Bastyr University in Seattle,

Her doctor’s solution was over-thecounter allergy medication, and Ellis wanted no part of it. She began seeing her former classmate in February and continues to see her about every other week.

“Every time I go in there it’s like an onion and we peel another layer off,” Ellis said. “It’s a gradual process… It’s not something where you go in and say ‘give me something to make this go away.’ ” Homeopathy isn’t for everyone, Ellis said, noting that a person’s receptiveness affects how effective it will be.

“If you’re open to it and you’re willing to take it on yourself then it’s wonderful… You have to want to do it. If you go in with the attitude that

Medicine continues on Page 13

this won’t work, then you’ve already decided.”

Ellis said she still has health insurance and she gets well-woman checkups from a primary care physician annually. She also visits other holistic practitioners, including a chiropractor, a massage therapist and an acupuncturist. But she gives Fox and her methods the credit for pulling her out of her depression.

“An MD will listen to you but they’re already thinking of what they’re going to give you…,” she said.

“You need to have somebody who will listen to you and can then evaluate you… It really makes you feel good to have someone who focuses on you and can facilitate the ability for you to heal yourself.”

one of only five schools in the United States that offers a doctorate in naturopathic medicine. She received a license to practice naturopathic medicine in Colorado in November.

Many clients turn to holistic medicine simply because nothing else has worked, Asplin and Fox said. Both women said some patients are dissatisfied with the lack of time and attention they receive from primary care doctors, and are increasingly skeptical that prescription after prescription is the best way to stay healthy.

The holistic approach involves a deeper conversation than just listing symptoms.

“We really do a lot of digging to try to find out what is that root cause of your symptom,” Asplin said. “If you have a headache, you don’t have a headache because you have an ibuprofen deficiency.”

So… what is it?

The term “holistic” refers to looking at a person’s entire lifestyle rather than treating their symptoms. Many practices fall under the term, including acupuncture, botanical medicine, Reiki, homeopathy and naturopathy.

Key principles of holistic medicine, according to the American Holistic Health Association, are that a patient is a person, not a disease, and that every person has an innate capacity to heal. Another principle is that physicians and homeopaths work collaboratively with patients to determine the underlying causes of health problems, rather than just treating symptoms.

Asplin and Fox are quick to acknowledge the value of traditional western medicine.

Fox is a certified EMT and did a semester of emergency medicine with the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority and Parker Adventist Hospital. Asplin’s doctorate required 140 preceptor hours, working with MDs, nurse practitioners and other health care professionals in a clinical setting, and she’s trained in primary care as well, providing physical examinations, sports physicals and Pap smears to her patients.

Both women also said they are quick to refer patients to a hospital or physician if they have a serious condition that needs immediate attention.

“There’s a place for western medicine, there’s no question about it,” Fox said. “I wish we could work together with patients more, give them more options.”

Tools and techniques In Fox’s practice, she primarily uses a combination of biofeedback and homeopathic remedies.

“We try to really find out what emotional state you’re in, did you have any traumas, what’s your mental state and support everything so that everything’s in balance and works together,” Fox said.

When Fox first works with a new client, she spends up to three hours learning about any stressors or traumas that have affected them while they are connected to a biofeedback device that reads the galvanic skin response, or vibrational frequencies, throughout the body. The machine detects toxins and stress reactions in the body as it reads those frequencies.

If the device shows elevated levels of amalgam, for example, it may be because the person has a leaking dental filling. If a measurement shows elevated reactions to allergens, Fox prepares a homeopathic remedy to boost the body’s ability to resist the allergen.

“We have 5,000 different medicines to turn on the innate vital force,” Fox said. “If you have all of these symptoms and all of these (medicines) and match them, it pushes the disease out of the body.”

Asplin also uses biofeedback, but her machine focuses on physiological reactions like a patient’s breath rate and heart rate. The next step, she said, is to ask the patient questions about their life, their job, their relationships and so on and monitor their bodies’ responses to the questions.

“We don’t even realize how quickly we are startled by those things, so it allows you to see how your body reacts when you have those thoughts… and then you learn to be able to control that by your breathing or by putting your body back into a parasympathetic state.”

Asplin also said she uses homeopathic remedies with a “small percentage” of her patients, but adds that every naturopathic doctor is different, and many, including one of her mentors, use them with most of their patients. She describes her approach as “foundational,” in that she takes a patient’s nutrition, social life, emotional condition and other factors into account.

Teaching patients to take charge The biggest difference between the holistic approach and the traditional methods is ownership, Fox and Asplin said.

Asplin said her goal is to work with her patients to understand what they can do differently to improve their health.

“I’m not a psychiatrist but I do naturopathic counseling, which is basically talking to you, understanding

Naturopathic medicine: Naturopathic medicine is a branch of medicine in which a variety of natural medicines

and treatments are used to heal illness. It is founded on the premise that people are naturally healthy, and that healing can occur through removing obstacles to a cure and by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. The foundations of health in natural medicine are diet, nutrition, homeopathy, physical manipulation, stress management and exercise.

Vital force: The organizing energy that is responsible for one’s health. Vital force is analogous to chi of Chinese medicine and prana in ayurvedic (an ancient medical system from India) medicine, but philosophically differs regarding disease management: Whereas Chinese and ayurvedic medicine aim to reverse the forces that result in disharmony, homeopathy regards the

vital force as powerful enough to allow the body to shake off the symptoms and pathogenic influences itself.

Homeopathy: A system of healthcare formulated by German physician Samuel CF Hahnemann (1755-1843).

Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like,” i.e., a disease caused by a substance (e.g., arsenic) can be cured by that same substance in highly diluted doses. Homeopathy was popular in the U.S. until the early 20th century, after which time it was suppressed by mainstream medicine; it continued to be popular in Europe, Brazil, Argentina and India, and has recently resurged in popularity in the U.S. Source: medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com

PRINCIPLES OF HOLISTIC MEDICINE Searching for the underlying causes of disease is preferable to treating symptoms alone.

Holistic physicians expend as much effort in establishing what kind of patient has a disease as they do in establishing what kind of disease a patient has.

Prevention is preferable to treatment and is usually more cost-effective because it evokes the patient’s innate healing capabilities.

Illness is viewed as a manifestation of a dysfunction of the whole person, not as an isolated event.

A major determinant of healing outcomes is the quality of the relationship established between physician and patient, in which patient autonomy is encouraged.

Holistic physicians encourage patients to evoke the healing power of love, hope, humor and enthusiasm, and to release the toxic consequences of hostility, shame, greed, depression and prolonged fear, anger and grief.

Optimal health is much more than the absence of sickness. It is the conscious pursuit of the highest qualities of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual and social aspects of the human experience.

your story, and then having conversations with you about what are the obstacles in your life… what can you do differently?” she said. “I don’t like to put a number on it but I would say that 80 to 85 percent of my therapeutic value is just in listening to people.”

Fox puts it more bluntly.

“My job,” she said, “is to get people to take charge of their own lives.”

Cattle drive to pass through Castle Rock Western Heritage Welcome is tribute to county fair, rodeo

IF YOU GO WHAT: Western Heritage Welcome

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

When: 6-9 p.m. Aug. 3

The old West will come to life in Castle Rock Aug. 3 as cowhands from Searle Ranch, in Monument, drive a herd of longhorn steers and other cattle through downtown. Starting at Rock Park, the herd will continue along Perry Street before completing its journey at Festival Park.

The drive is the kickoff of Western Heritage Welcome, a new event in Castle Rock, which will act as tribute to the historic Douglas County Fair and Rodeo.

“It’s our way of shining a spotlight on all that’s going on in Castle Rock during fair and rodeo week,” said Casey Willis, Castle Rock events manager. Western Heritage is one of the 20 new townhosted events this year.

“The idea was passed around for years,” Willis added. “People want to celebrate our heritage and also give a nod to everything that that fair and rodeo does in town.”

During the 1800s, large herds of cattle were driven through Colorado, including herds on the famous Goodnight-Loving Trail.

The hope is that the Western Heritage Welcome event will help honor that heritage, Willis said.

The event will be similar to the tradition that has taken root in Denver. Ranch cowboys from around the country drive Searle Ranch longhorn cattle down 17th Street through downtown Denver in January to the delight of nearly 40,000 onlookers. Starting at Coors Field and moving past Union Station, they drive right to the heart of the downtown business district. The Downtown Trail Drive has attracted so much local and national attention that the longhorns on the street have become the promotional icon for the National Western Stock Show.

That’s the kind of tradition Willis and town staff hope to bring to Castle Rock.

“The longhorn steers are majestic,” said Karen Carter, community relations manager for the town, adding that in the rodeo world, the stock show is huge, but in the Rocky Mountain region, the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo is also big.

“It matches in similarity,” she said.

The cattle will start staging at Rock Park around 6 p.m. Residents are invited to grab a seat along Perry Street for the best views. The cattle drive and road closure will officially begin around 7 p.m. Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson and other cowboys from the rodeo and Castle Rock community will ride alongside the steers on horseback.

Following the cattle drive, which is estimated to take 20 minutes, Festival Park will be transformed with live music, folk stories and cowboy poetry by Liz Masterson, the Songbird of the West, and her Western Variety Show.

Where: Cattle drive from Rock Park to Perry Street; other events at Festival Park, 199 Perry Street Cost: Free; food and beverages will be available to purchase Activity details: 6 p.m. Steers staged at Rock Park 6 p.m. Food and drink available in Festival Park, vendor booths and sponsors open 7 p.m. Steers ready to begin the drive down Perry Street 7:25 p.m. Longhorn steer corralled on Second Street

Longhorn steers from Searle Ranch, which also go through downtown Denver for the National Western Stock Show each year, will make their way down Perry Street in downtown Castle Rock Aug. 3. Courtesy photo Masterson, a Denver native and award-winning singer, began performing Western music in 1982 and was quickly recognized as a trailblazer for the revival of this art form. Her distinctive singing voice, yodeling and sense of humor has won her national acclaim as she tours the country as a solo performer and teacher of the traditional art forms Masterson of yodeling, swing and Western music. She was named the 1998 Western Music Female Performer of the Year and also received the Patsy Montana Cowgirl Award in 2000.

Also hitting the stage will be cowboy poetry artists Susie Knight and Floyd Beard. Knight, of Conifer, is best known for her enthusiastic stage presence.

She’s the 2014 Western Music Association Female Poet of the Year, 2013 Cowboy Idol Poet, and winner of the 2012 WMA Cowboy Poetry CD of the Year.

Beard, a lifetime cowboy, rancher and award-winning cowboy poet from eastern Colorado, has been presenting for over 30 years, drawing from his own experiences and observations of the Western way of life.

Cowboy cocktails, old West food options and Western artwork will also be part of the event.

The Western Heritage Welcome is free for the public. The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo starts July 30 and runs through Aug. 7. Tickets are available at douglascountyfairandrodeo.com.

Hunt for more horsepower continues Pro stock motorcycle owner seeks to boost engine’s output

THE WINNERS Winners at the Mopar Mile High Nationals July 22-24 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison:

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The sleek black pro stock motorcycle looks fast, but owner and builder Mike Berry said the challenge of upping the engine’s horsepower must be solved for him to be competitive at the Mile High National Drag Races.

The Littleton resident talked about his efforts as he prepared for time trials at the July 22 session of the national drag racing event at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

“Things haven’t gone well for us this racing season,” he said. “I qualified for the field at the Gator Nationals earlier this year and then failed to qualify for the next two races. Since then, we focused on spending time trying to meet the challenge of making adjustments so the motor would make more horsepower. We are producing about 400 horsepower and need about 20 more horsepower to be competitive. We have tried a lot of different things that should have made changes but didn’t.”

Berry races a 2012 Buell XB9R motorcycle in the very competitive pro stock motorcycle drag racing field. Just entering a race doesn’t entitle the rider to compete for the race title because there are always more entries than spots in the race bracket. There are 23 pro stock motorcycle entries at the Mile High Nationals and performance in the time trials narrowed the field to 16 for the July 24 head-to-head, single-elimination races for the championship trophy.

“We know we are underpowered and we almost stayed at the shop this week to continue to work on the issue,” he said with a smile. “But this is our home track and we decided to be here and do our best.”

Over the weekend, Berry was 21st in the time trials — with a

Top Fuel - Tony Schumacher, Lakeway, Texas Funny Car - John Force, Yorba Linda, Californa Pro Stock - Allen Johnson, Greenville, Tennessee Pro Stock Motorcycle - Andrew Hines, Brownsburg, Indiana Competition Eliminator - Lou Ficco Jr., Wheat Ridge Super Stock - Jackie Alley, Eagle, Idaho Stock Eliminator - Ryan Montford, Wichita, Kansas Super Comp - Kris Whitfield, Littleton Super Gas - Kevin Moore, Littleton Super Street - John Bianco, Golden Top Sportsman - John Baker, Grand Junction

Littleton resident Mike Berry guides his pro stock motorcycle back into the trailer after equipment weigh-in July 22 so he could compete in the Mile High National Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway. For about 20 years, Berry has raced without a major sponsor. He has maintained and built parts for his motorcycle in his Englewood business. Photos by Tom Munds top speed of 180.24 mph — and didn’t qualify for the elimination rounds.

A pro stock motorcycle uses a racing engine mounted on a specialized frame and body that sort of resembles a production bike.

The motor produces more than 400 horsepower and launches the bike from a standing start and provides the power so the bike reaches speeds of about 190 mph in the less than 7 seconds it takes to reach the finish line a quarter mile away.

Riders race side-by-side in a pro stock motorcycle drag race.

Each rider takes time to position the motorcycle so it will travel down the middle of the track. Then, the riders take their places, the engine is revved and,

when the green light goes on, the bike and driver launch off the starting line. The torque from the engine lifts the front tire off the ground for the first 60 or 70 feet.

“You launch off the line in a hurry,” Berry said. “I guess you would compare it to sitting on the end of a gun barrel and catching the bullet as it is fired. It is a rush and I love it.”

Berry is an independent racer who, with help from his friend from Tulsa resident John Hamock, tried to compete with teams with major sponsors.

“At least one of the full-time teams has four motorcycles with sponsors that provide a budget of about $3 million a year,” he said. “We make a lot of our parts and do a lot of other things as

we try to compete on our own dime.”

The veteran racer said running at the Mile High Nationals is a challenge for all the teams entering the competition.

“The altitude means there is less oxygen in the air,” he explained. “That means just about everything has to be developed just for this race. Even with all the adjustments, the altitude and thin air means a power loss of about 20 percent.”

Berry grew up in Lakewood, lives in Littleton and started his business, MB Precision Machine, in Englewood about 25 years ago.

“I love racing and, while we don’t have a lot of success, I stick with it,” he said. “In a way,

Top Dragster - Steve Johnson, Arvada

racing is my advertising because it promotes my business. My business manufactures parts for my bike. When others teams see the parts we manufacture that enhance performance, they want them so they become my customers.”

He said he loves racing enough to want to do it full time. But, he also has a thriving business so it is a balancing act between running his business and racing.

“I’ll admit I have given thought to putting my business on the back burner and racing full time,” Berry said. “But it is only a thought because I have a comfortable lifestyle I really like and full-time racing means all that would change dramatically.

So, I just stick with racing part time and wishing I could get to more races.”

When it comes to college, some athletes really plan ahead Leanne Lowry celebrated her 14th birthday in June and on July 15 announced she had verbally committed to play volleyball at the University of Iowa.

She won’t graduate from high school until 2020.

Jim Benton Lowry, a 5-foot11 libero, will be a OVERTIME freshman at Castle View this fall and has an older sister, junior Lauren, who is a setter for the Sabercats.

Leanne Lowry has “played up” against older athletes in competitive club volleyball for the past few years.

“Leanne plays at a level well above her age,” said Castle View coach Scott Dowis.

“She makes the difficult plays look routine. She is slated to play libero at the next level. However, she has the ability to do it all, set, attack, defend — you name it.”

College coaches these days don’t wait long to secure verbal commitments from

athletes, making decisions based mostly on potential.

Lowry isn’t the only young player who has announced a verbal commitment — which is not binding — before becoming a senior.

Alea Tooley, a sophomore-to-be at Columbine, made a commitment to play women’s lacrosse at the University of Denver.

There have been many athletes who will be juniors this year who have vowed to attend certain colleges.

Some of those athletes who will graduate in 2018 include Arapahoe’s Harvey Jackson and Golden’s Liam Johnson, who have pledged to play lacrosse at DU; Chaparral’s Ally Schlegel, who will head to Penn State to play soccer; Cherry Creek soccer player Mia Raben, who announced a commitment to attend Wake Forest; Mountain Vista’s Jake Govett, who will attend Delaware to play lacrosse; and Valor baseball player Luke Ziegler, who has committed to Pepperdine.

Olympic Development tryouts The Colorado Soccer Association will

host Olympic Development tryouts at the Air Force Academy July 30-Aug. 1 for players who live along the Front Range.

Lindsey Horan, the U.S. Olympic team member from Golden, participated in this program.

Top elite boys and girls players born between 1999 and 2004 were asked to try out, train and possibly become part of the 2016-17 pool team that would represent Colorado and Region IV in 2017 national tournaments.

Invitations were sent to more than 8,000 players and this season, Mountain Region tryouts for the Olympic Development Program will be held Aug. 13 and 14 in Basalt.

Coloradans in top 10 Three Colorado residents finished in the top 10 of the CoBank Colorado Open golf tournament July 21-24 at the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver.

Jim Knous, of Englewood, set a course record with a 7-under-par 29 on the back nine and matched a course low with a 10-under par 62 during the final round and finished tied for fourth with a

19-under-par total of 269.

Arvada’s Zahkai Brown, the 2007 Colorado high school state champion from Pomona, tied Knous for fourth place.

Both received checks for $8,167 Nick Hodge, from Littleton, tied for ninth with at 271, good for $5,000.

Former University of Colorado golfer and Denver native Jonathan Kaye, who now lives in Phoenix, tied for second with a 20-under-par total of 268 and earned $15,250.

Neil Johnson, of River Falls, Wisconsin, won the tournament and $100,000 with a score of 265.

New sport at Arapahoe Girls field hockey will have 15 schools playing this fall as Arapahoe and Liberty will compete. These teams, like most of the others, will be co-op teams that draw players from other district schools.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JULY 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You face the possibility of raising your relationship to another level.

However, your partner might demand that you make promises for which you’re not sure you’re ready.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) As changes continue, expect things to get a little more hectic at your workplace. An unexpected travel opportunity could open new career prospects.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Confront the person who caused your hurt feelings and demand a full explanation for his or her actions. You’ll not only recover your self-esteem, but you’ll also gain the respect of others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That personal problem in the workplace is compounded by someone’s biased interference. Stand your ground, and you’ll soon find allies gathering around you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You don’t accept disapproval easily. But instead of hiding out in your den to lick your wounded pride, turn the criticism into a valuable lesson for future use.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That former friend you thought you’d cut out of your life is still affecting other relationships. Counter his or her lies with the truth. Your friends are ready to listen.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) What appears to be an unfair situation might simply be the result of a misunderstanding. If you feel something is out of balance, by all means, correct it.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A stalled relationship won’t budge until you make the first move. Your partner offers a surprising explanation about what got it mired down in the first place.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A co-worker shares some startling news, but before you can use it to your advantage, make sure it’s true. The weekend favors family matters.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your usual conservative approach to family situations might not work at this time. Keep an open mind about developments, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Answers

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Plans might have to be put on hold because of a family member’s problems. Don’t hesitate to get involved. Your help could make all the difference.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Relationships in the home and in the workplace need your careful attention during this period. Be careful not to allow misunderstandings to create problems.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a keen, insightful intellect and enjoy debating your views with others who disagree with you. You also love to solve puzzles -- the harder, the better. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Pokemon Continued from Page 1

The Pokémon franchise, once limited to trading cards and video games, is growing larger and larger since the release of Pokémon Go on July 6. Though the app is free to download, in-app purchases generated more than $14 million in just five days, according to SuperDataResearch.

The eagerly awaited app — which uses augmented reality technology — hit the top of U.S. sale charts 13 hours after its release, according to Boy Genius Report.

Players use their cell phone cameras to view their surroundings. The game then adds Pokémon characters to the screen, making it seem as if they have appeared in real life.

“Research suggests the game is so popular because of the appeal of combining the virtual world with the real world,” said Annie Butler, associate professor and department chair of human services at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Butler specializes in addictive behavior as it relates to video games and technology.

July 28, 2016 “It sounds like a fun game, but there are two sides to every coin,” Butler said. “Some people can use it and it’s no big deal. But it becomes an addiction when people try to stop playing and can’t, or let it interfere with their relationships.”

Butler believes the game appeals to different demographics in different ways.

While kids enjoy the cartoon images and the gaming pieces of it, she said adults are more likely to enjoy the way they can use the app without experiencing the usual solitary aspects of gaming.

Christopher Cole, a Pokémon Go player and father of two, is one of many adults who have become avid Pokémon trainers this month. Cole typically plays the game with his two children and his wife, Karen.

“We go on walks around the neighborhood and make it an adventure,” Cole said.

In the first 12 days since downloading the game, the Parker resident walked more than 55 miles.

“It motivates people to go to places they’ve never gone before and see parts of the city they’ve never seen before,” he said.

Pokémon Go works with Google Maps to direct players to Pokéstops,

sites where they can catch different Pokémon based on their geographical location and the time of day.

These places are usually located in neighborhoods, parks, stores or malls.

Brittany Rickson, 22, Matt Shircliff, 17, and Jill Zablonski, 26, often go to Parker’s O’Brien Park to catch Pokémon.

“We usually come here together,” said Zablonski, who was the first of the friends to download the game.

“Brittany downloaded the game a few hours after I did, when I told her I caught a Pikachu in her kitchen,” she said.

“I play Pokémon Go too much — I’m always on it,” said Rickson. “I play a good four or five hours a day, at work and everything.”

The three friends are just a fraction of the many people catching Pokémon in O’Brien.

“Even at 10 at night, the O’Brien parking lot is full,” said Cole. “It’s interesting to see all the people getting together and having fun, regardless of age and location.”

Casey Van Divier, who lives in Parker, is a sophomore in the journalism program at University of ColoradoBoulder.

POKÉMON AROUND THE WORLD Pokémon Go has been released in more than 30 countries. The game has led to acts of goodwill and unfortunate accidents. And intriguing stories related to the game continue to make the news every day.

• In Indiana, an animal shelter invited Pokémon Go players to walk adoptable dogs as they play the game.

• In New York City, Pokémon fans are charging up to $30 an hour to catch and train Pokémon for other players.

• In Israel, President Reuven Rivlin posted a picture of himself catching a Pokémon in his office.

• In Maryland, a man crashed his vehicle into a police car while he was playing the game.

Here are a few:

• In Wyoming, a 19-year-old girl stumbled across a dead body while looking for Pokémon.

• In Gloucestershire, England, a Pokémon Go player called police to report a stolen Pokémon.

• In Colorado, the Department of Transportation screened this notice on digital message boards above highways around the state: “Beware the Pokémon – Don’t game and drive.”

DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS

• In Ohio, three teenagers trespassed onto the site of a nuclear power plant in search of rare Pokémon.
