Five things to know about Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project Project will allow reservoir to hold more water

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To meet the Front Range’s growing water demand, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined Chatfield Reservoir can accommodate an additional 20,600 acre-feet of water storage, increasing reservoir water levels up to 12 feet.

The $130 million project, called the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project, approved in 2014, will allow water storage for eight municipal water providers and agricultural organizations across the Denver metro area and northeast Colorado. Construction is expected to begin late this year and will

History In 1975, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built Chatfield Reservoir at the confluence of the South Platte River and Plum Creek to control flooding following the disastrous 1965 flood.

The main purpose of the reservoir, which currently has the ability to store more than 350,000 acre-feet of water, is flood control, but it also provides space for multiuse water and maintains fisheries and wildlife habitat.

In response to a growing demand for water — the Statewide Water Supply Initiative, commissioned by the state Legislature, estimates by 2030 Front Range water demand will exceed supply by 22 percent — the corps determined Chatfield Reservoir could accommodate additional storage space.

“We are taking advantage of an existing federal structure,” said Colleen Horihan, the corps’ project manager.

take up to two years to complete.

“The ability to store in that much space gives Highlands Ranch new surface water supplies,” said Rick McCloud, water resources manager of Centennial Water and Sanitation District in Highlands Ranch, one of eight participants.

“We can use that water instead of non-tributary (non-renewable) groundwater.”

Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Co., formed in 2015 to implement the project, hosted a May 30 open house at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch for the public to learn about upcoming changes at Chatfield Reservoir and the surrounding state park, which is a major recreational draw for Front Range residents.

The following are five things to know about the reallocation project.

Who will benefit The project is a partnership among eight water providers and environmental organizations: Colorado Water Conservation Board, Centennial Water and Sanitation District, Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, Castle Pines North Metro District, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Castle Rock, Center of Colorado Water Conservancy District and Castle Pines Metro District.

Participants will fund upward of $130 million over the next two years for construction of the project. Each provider will receive a varying amount of the additional 20,600 acre-feet of storage space for surface water in Chatfield Reservoir once the reallocation is complete.

The project allows participants to have access to renewable water supplies at an existing water storage reservoir, according to Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Co. It also provides renewable water supplies for paying customers in several communities, such as Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines and Castle Rock.

Dozens of people gather at ThunderRidge High School on May 30 to learn about the future of Chatfield Reservoir and the surrounding state park.

ALEX DEWIND

Recreational impact In order to prepare for the reallocation project, many recreational facilities will be modified in phases starting this fall. Most modifications include moving and elevating public areas for increased flood protection and updating existing structures, including picnic structures and bathrooms. A list of detailed designs is available at chatfieldreallocation. org/recreation.

Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Co. encourages park users to follow the project on Facebook and Twitter and to ask questions and receive updates on closures and construction schedules.

“Social media channels are critical platforms,” said Ben Waymire, social media consultant of the project. “These are channels for residents to engage.”

Environment On-site and off-site environmental mitigation will be done at Chatfield State Park to address impacts of storing more water in the reservoir, according to Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Co. Mitigation will include an adaptive treemanagement plan for the reservoir to remove dead trees and debris along the shoreline and to identify a long-term treemonitoring program. A $424,000 budget is set aside for pre-construction weed control. Off-site mitigation is being explored for bird and Preble’s meadow jumping mouse habitats.

Depleted water channels and wetlands will be restored using vegetation and structures.

“We are creating more wetland habitat than we are impacting with the project,” said Barbara Biggs, project manager.

Timeline The reallocation project will begin in fall of this year and is expected to be complete by 2020, after which the reservoir will be able to store up to 20,600 acre feet of additional water.

Construction will be done in 12 phases, starting with the north boat ramp of the reservoir, to minimize impact on Chatfield State Park — the most visited state park in Colorado with more than 1.6 million visitors per year, according to the mitigation company. The final phase will be wetland and bird habitat mitigation of Mary Gulch, an eastern tributary of the South Platte River.

“Our goal is to save as much as possible,” said Scott Roush, park manager.

Fire truck enthusiasts prepare for muster Annual Littleton event scheduled for June 17

IF YOU GO THE 32ND ANNUAL FIRE MUSTER The parade begins at 9 a.m. June 17 at the intersection of South Bannock St. and West Littleton Boulevard in Littleton followed by a muster from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 South Santa Fe. Activities include a water bucket contest, Jaws of Life demonstration, free fire truck rides and a kids’ fire safety obstacle course provided by the Denver Firefighters Museum.

Bill Hoeft wanted a Crown fire engine because that is what his father once rode as battalion chief of the Vernon Fire Department in California. Today, Hoeft has two of the red vintage trucks, one of which he remembers riding when he was just 11 years old.

“I retired from the Army and didn’t know what to do — then I found fire trucks,” Hoeft, 74, said.

“It’s already changed my life.”

Hoeft was one of about 10 members of Mile High Hook and Ladder, an antique fire truck club, who met at the Littleton Fire Rescue Training Center for a “pump in” on June 3. The event is for retired fire buffs, fire engine enthusiasts and mechanics to test their engines and hoses before the Littleton Fire Muster, which is scheduled for June 17 this year.

For some members, fire engines are an adult toy of choice. Others, like Hoeft, have emotional ties to their trucks.

In Jason Neely’s garage sits a bright yellow fire engine that he found on eBay two years ago. The retired firefighter and Air Force

“Now it’s back with me,” Neely, of Littleton, said. “We all have reasons why we love our trucks.”

Members will come together for the Fire Muster, a partnership of Schomp Automotive and Mile High Hook and Ladder, which they view

as an opportunity to show off their beloved equipment and share with spectators the work of fire departments.

“We are preserving the history of fire service,” said Garry Aranda, retired fleet-maintenance manager of Southwest Adams County Fire Rescue and a founding member of Mile High Hook and Ladder.

Former Parker administrator named to Littleton post City fills three vacant leadership positions

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Parker town administrator who resigned last month has been appointed acting deputy city manager for Littleton.

Randy Young will begin his role

in Littleton on June 12. Young replaces Mike Braaten, who resigned last month to accept the position of deputy executive director with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

“Randy will be able to hit the ground runYoung ning,” City Manager Mark Relph said. “He brings a wealth

of experience in city management, including 20 years as a city manager and five years as an assistant city administrator.”

Parker town spokeswoman Elise Penington said that members of town council accepted Young’s resignation on May 15, but said she was not certain whether the resignation was anticipated by town staff. Young was not present at the council’s public meeting that evening.

Littleton announced the hiring of two other officials on May 31. Keith Reester, a former public works director for Loveland, accepted the role of acting public works director, filling the spot held by Relph before he was appointed permanent city manager last month. Julie Lanier, who was already a city employee, was appointed as acting human resources director, replacing Erich Won Savage, who left to take the same role with South Suburban.

LIFT chair making bid for at-large council seat Kyle Schlachter, 36, aims to bring a new perspective to Littleton

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Five months out from the Littleton City Council election, the first candidate has announced plans to run.

Kyle Schlachter, currently the chair of the

Littleton Invests for Tomorrow board, said he plans to run for an at-large seat on the council.

Two at-large seats, held by Mayor Bruce Beckman and Councilmember Doug Clark, are open in November. Schlachter lives in District II, which is represented by Councilmember Jerry Valdes, whose term does not expire until 2019.

“I’ve been wanting to get more involved in the community for Schlachter the last couple of years,” said Schlachter.

At 36 years old, he is significantly younger

“I see the same faces year after year involved in Littleton decision-making,” Schlachter said.

By day, Schlachter is the outreach coordinator for the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board. He has served on the LIFT board for two years. He has lived in Littleton for eight years and is married with two kids.

In addition to the two open at-large seats, the District I seat, held by Bill Hopping, and District III seat, held by Phil Cernanec, are also open this year.

Day on South Platte is only natural

T

he city felt far away at South Platte Park at Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue on June 5.

Meadowlarks sang in the trees, bugs buzzed in the tall grass, and wild roses reached upward, heavy with blossoms.

A few lucky folks strolled and biked the path, but mostly the park belonged to the wildlife.

The river, still flowing a little below average, was full enough to draw a handful of fishermen and tubers. The water, having made it through the Chatfield Dam outflow, still retained the chill of snowmelt it held as it tumbled out of Waterton Canyon before its journey to irrigate the plains.

Breeze tickled the cottonwood leaves as clouds rolled in to take the heat out of the day, and a hint of virga hung in the sky to the west, teasing an afternoon thunderstorm.

Bond reduced for alleged drug-sales ringleader ended in raids on 19 locations, including suspected illegal grow houses, throughout the Denver metro carried out by local, state and federal law enforcement officers. The ring was allegedly producing more than 300 pounds of marijuana a month, some grown legally but most illegally, in warehouses or farms in Elizabeth, Denver and Colorado Stonehouse Springs, according to a 37page indictment.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Michael Stonehouse, the Castle Rock man police suspect of leading a trafficking organization that allegedly shipped marijuana across the Front Range and to multiple states, has had his $1 million bond reduced to $500,000.

In Arapahoe County district court on June 2, an arraignment for Stonehouse was postponed, but his attorney, David Jones, said they intend to enter a plea of not guilty, although he would not comment on specific evidence in the case.

Stonehouse was indicted in March along with 15 other people following a multi-jurisdictional investigation that

disabled, Jones said.

While the defense argued that Stonehouse’s role in the organization had been exaggerated by the district attorney’s office, prosecutors countered, saying there was clear evidence that Stonehouse maintained a coordinating role in the drug ring.

“We object to any reduction in the bond,” Senior Deputy District Attorney Thomas Byrnes said, describing Stonehouse to Judge Patricia Herron as a danger to the community.

Byrnes declined to comment more after the court hearing.

Bond was reduced to $500,000 despite the defense’s request for $250,000. Jones had argued that Stonehouse was not a

danger to the public and that his family was suffering financially without him home. If he is able to post bail, Stonehouse has a job arranged with a family friend, Jones said.

The judge also stipulated his passport be confiscated, if not already, and will require GPS pre-trial services if Stonehouse is released.

As the defense and prosecutors debated reducing Stonehouse’s bond, family members wiped tears from their eyes, his wife leaving the courtroom tear-stricken after the judge’s decision.

“We’re thankful for that and are going to work with that,” Jones said of the reduced bond, but said the family would need to raise money to make bail.

Summer tourism heats up in local communities Outdoor recreation is big draw across the metro area

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tourism is a major industry in Colorado, with nearly 78 million visitors spending $19.1 billion in 2015, according to the Colorado Tourism Office.

In the summer, outdoor recreation opportunities draw tourists by the thousands to locations throughout the metro area. This helps generate money for the economies of local cities and counties, as these visitors often patronize restaurants and retail locations near their primary destination.

Consider these major draws, just to name a handful: In the west metro area, there are Red Rocks, Clear Creek, Green Mountain and Bear Creek Lake.

The north metro area has the outdoor water recreation park Water World.

And the south metro area boasts a trio of popular state parks: Castlewood Canyon, Chatfield and Roxborough.

“It makes sense that people visiting our state want to be outside,” said Katie Matthews, communications supervisor with Jeffco Open Space.

Jeffco Open Space covers more than 54,000 acres in Jefferson County and includes 29 regional parks and 236 miles of trail systems. In 2016, an estimated 2.4 million people visited Jeffco Open Space areas.

“We call Jeffco the gateway to the Rockies,” Matthews said. “It’s really easy for people to get outdoors and have a great experience.”

Jeffco: A case in point With activities like hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, bird watching, horseback riding and camping available in Jeffco parks, Sam Bailey, president and CEO of the Jefferson County Economic

Square will perform at the amphitheater on June 10.

The great outdoors Outdoor recreation companies also see a spike in business in the summer months.

One company that does all its business during summer is Colorado Watersports, a water sport rental company located on the shore of Roxbourough Bay on Chatfield Reservoir inside the state park just southwest of Littleton.

Boating is among the park’s most popular activities and the reservoir can be quite busy during the summer season, which runs May to September.

Getting people on the water is Colorado Watersports sole purpose.

“Our clientele is anybody who wants to get outside,” said Audra Tromly, summer camp director at Colorado Watersports, which is run by its parent company Victoria Sailing School.

Colorado Watersports opened last year with rentals of stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats and corcls — a popular new round boat for kids.

This year, the company hopes to quadruple last year’s rentals, Tromly siad.

“The ultimate goal is that all our equipment is out on the water.”

In Castle Rock, Philip S. Miller Park is becoming a draw for not only Castle Rock residents but also out-of-towners. The 320-acre park boasts 7.4 miles of native-surface trail networks and a 200-step challenge hill.

The park, which is run by the city, is also home to privately operated Castle Rock Zip Line Tours — a zip line course with 10 lines stretched throughout the park’s ridgelines — and the privately operated Epic Adventure Tower, which allows users to scale a 40-foot climbing wall, zip and jump from a 40-foot platform or choose to free fall from a 70-foot platform.

The addition of the 2,000seat amphitheater last year is starting to attract bigger national acts in its second season of summer concerts.

For example, multi-platinum country duo Thompson

‘Busy all day long’ For Jean Gordon, director of the Arvada Visitors Center, celebrating classic outdoor recreation activities is a great way to bring vibrancy to a city.

“Residents patronize the business, but when you’re a tourist, you need to be busy all day long,” Gordon said.

“That is valuable revenue for any city.”

One way that the city of Arvada capitalizes on those tourism dollars is by hosting large events. The city hosts a springtime kite festival, but also an event called Sand in the City — a beach party featuring large sand sculptures at Ralston Park.

The event draws 40 percent of its visitors from out of town, Gordon said. And with 6,000 people visiting Arvada each summer, the city needs to capitalize on that influx.

Development Corporation, said it’s easy to see the outdoor recreation community in full swing.

“The density you’ll feel definitely goes up in the summertime with people utilizing outdoor recreation and cultural amenities,” Bailey said.

The world-renowned concert venue Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, just outside Golden, is also a big draw for tourism in Jeffco, Bailey said. “Red Rocks and the concert series that goes on there arguably pull a lot of activity and spending into the county for people coming in to see a concert.”

The amphitheater not only hosts large concerts, but in the summer it is also home to several specialty events, including Yoga on the Rocks and Film on the Rocks.

The music venue is also surrounded by 738 acres of Red Rocks Mountain Park, which includes hiking and biking trails along with geological wonders. The park is one of more than 10 mountain parks run by the City of Denver.

With visitors from both in state and out of state, Bailey said that Jefferson County sees tourism dollars in a myriad of ways, including lodging, foods and gas.

Tourist dollars not only help the local economy, Matthews said, it also helps maintain the open space parks because a half-cent sales tax goes back to Jeffco Open Space.

“Anybody spending money in the county is contributing to conserve land for generations to come,” Matthews said.

‘I started picturing him wearing a cape’ Sentencing for man who killed Centennial doctor brings powerful testimonies from community

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Those affected by the death of Centennial doctor Kenneth Atkinson reach further than his family and closest friends.

That was demonstrated by the 27 people who spoke at the June 5 sentencing of Kevin Lyons, the man who fatally shot Atkinson, 66, and also shot and injured his own wife, Elizabeth Lyons, and another neighbor, Laurie Juergens. Lyons was formally sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus an additional 352 years, in an Arapahoe County courtroom.

Colleagues, family members, friends, neighbors, former patients and those reached by his charity, the Kendall and Taylor Atkinson Foun-

dation, all spoke on behalf of the doctor’s character.

“Ken Atkinson changed so many lives for the positive,” said Lisa Nash, who knew Atkinson through his charity that raised money for research into Fanconi anemia, a disease that can lead to bone marrow failure and cancer that claimed the life of his two youngest Atkinson children. “He touched so many people’s lives through his medical practice, through his church and through the KATA foundation.”

In their Centennial neighborhood on April 4, 2016, Lyons shot his wife and Juergens. Atkinson, hearing the gunshots and seeing his neighbors wounded, rushed outside to help. Lyons Lyons fatally shot Atkinson moments later.

Shot at but uninjured were neighbors Lesa McKenzie and Craig Johnson, and Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s

can’t balance what this man has done to this family and this community,” Brauchler said. “This was a tough one. There’s no good outcome to this. We achieved what we could.”

Judge Carlos Samour Jr. called Atkinson a hero.

“As I heard people describe how (Atkinson) lived his life and as I heard the stories, I started picturing him wearing a cape,” Samour said. “By all accounts he was a truly amazing human being in every respect.”

Whitney Langlois, Atkinson’s daughter, now wears her father’s stethoscope in her own medical practice.

“My dad lived his life in love and goodness,” Langlois said. “I want to live my life in the same way, inspired by the goodness, kindness and selflessness of his ways… He was not just a hero that day, but he was a hero every single day of his life… and now as I wear (his) stethoscope to listen to the hearts of others, as (he) did so well both physically and spiritually, I will remember (his) heart that gave so much to this world.”

Office Deputies Tim Klisnick and Frank Morgan.

Elizabeth Lyons told investigators that her husband had been angered by her suggestion that he go to a hospital for mental health issues, came upstairs from their basement with a gun, told her to leave and began firing as she ran toward Juergens’ house, across the street, where the neighbor was gardening in the front yard.

Lyons, 47, pleaded guilty to 16 counts on May 4.

“What kind of hatred and self-pity would drive a man to brutally murder his innocent next door neighbor of 10 years,” said Jeanne Atkinson, Atkinson’s widow. “He showed no signs of remorse — no signs of caring about anybody but himself.

Kevin Lyons stole from our community. He robbed us of a man of integrity.”

District Attorney George Brauchler did not seek the death penalty, though comments from many in the courtroom indicated they wanted to see “an eye-for-an-eye” punishment.

VOICES

For too many young people, school days become cruel days

was in sixth grade the first time I heard about bullying. One of my classmates at Acacia Elementary in Fullerton, California, had a brother at the junior high school I would be attending the following year.

“Chris” told me about “pantsing.”

I had nightmares.

However, he never mentioned slaps or punches. Mostly just humorous pranks. I think the humor in pranking is one-sided, and imbecilic.

It turns out that nothing happened in junior high school.

When I was a freshman in high school, the varsity quarterback knuckled my sternum for no apparent reason. There were others around

when he did it. Maybe that was the point: Let others know that you are the BMOC. It never occurred to me to bully a freshman when I became a senior. I left it for the dummies.

There are always a few, aren’t there?

I read an Associate Press article headlined “Sex crimes increase in schools; bullying persists.” I am not surprised.

“One in five middle and high school students has complained of being bullied at school; and the number of reports of sexual assaults on college campuses has more than tripled over the past decade, according to a federal study.

“The picture was bleaker for gay, lesbian, and bisexual students.”

I haven’t done the research, but my guess is that a lot of this starts at home, and is abetted by television and movies.

As a college student, I was naïve enough to think that things in America could change and be overcome, someday. But here I sit decades later, and things haven’t improved.

There’s a good chance that your overweight daughter will be picked on. There’s a good chance that your effeminate son will be picked on.

ometimes situations or events occur that are completely outside of our control.

We are living in a world WINNING surrounded WORDS by such situations and events every day, and unfortunately that means we are also inundated with news stories and Michael Norton opinions from every part of the globe.

Some of the stories are extremely difficult and troubling, even heartbreaking.

And others are very serious and need to have the immediate attention and focus of the world’s brightest and best to try and find a solution. And somewhere amidst the heartbreak and seriousness of certain situations, others find it necessary to point blame, find fault, or make fun of the situation or the person or people at the center of some of the most troubling events.

There is an old saying that I find as a source of peace

and balance as I watch the news, not knowing what is fake or real anymore, and as I sort through the opinions of others. And that saying goes like this, “We cannot control what happens to us, or what is happening around us, we can only control how we respond to what happens to us or around us.”

It sure is easy to respond and jump on the bandwagon of something that seems to be funny at the time, that is until we find out that what we are laughing at or who we are laughing with is causing someone else an incredible amount of shame or embarrassment. We could also choose to respond to the voices of insanity that engulf our everyday political battles and landscape by writing posts, sharing memes, and contributing to the noise of nonsense and rhetoric.

In either case, doesn’t that just make us part of the brokenness of our country and of the world? I mean there are some people who just seem to gravitate to any fight or cause and change or become swayed based on the

last person they spoke to, the last post that they read, or the last piece of news that they have watched or listened to.

If we truly found our balance and peace in knowing what it is that we can control, we would identify very quickly that we can control our own thoughts, our own actions, and follow our own belief system. I know this sounds like common sense, but common sense is not always common practice. If we can become truly rooted in our foundational belief system, knowing the difference between right and wrong, it would be so much easier to defend our minds, our hearts, and our spirit against the daily attacks of a system that seems bent on dragging us into conspiracy theories, drama, lies, bullying, corruption, and scandals.

Disillusionment, or the art of illusion, has become perfected. Our only guard and defense mechanism is to become inspired, truly inspired to protect what it is we know to be true and not just react to what we

see others doing and jumping on any and every bandwagon “just because” others are on it. As a matter of fact, most times bandwagons are already too overcrowded anyway. We would become just another rider.

So maybe we are better served to do as Robert Frost wrote so prophetically in 1916 in his poem, “The Road Not Taken,” “... I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in the wood, and I - took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

The road less traveled by is our own belief system and not the belief system of a group or society. Have you traveled it yourself lately? Have you chosen to respond to what you know to be true instead of reacting to what you have seen others do or say? I would love to hear all about how you stay in control of what you know you can control at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we take the road less traveled by, it really will be a better than good week.

Maybe you have seen the video. It’s heartbreaking.

But it’s not a complete anomaly.

Google: “bullied, commits suicide.”

We pick on each other, and always have.

Maybe there is a “survival of the fittest” explanation in there somewhere.

And it’s not only boys being boys. It’s girls being girls too.

Typically, I don’t have any answers.

I have noticed that respect for others has taken a back seat to self-absorption, however.

Have you ever observed a customer on the phone at the register?

That’s an increment of bullying. The employee is being “bullied” with disrespect.

I have seen parents bullying their children in public.

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 12

This year, a state budget crisis threatened key community institutions, especially in rural areas. And on the last day of the state legislative session, the Colorado General Assembly gave final approval to a bill that is the key to solving this crisis.

A bipartisan bill in both the Senate and the House with strong sponsorship from both rural and urban lawmakers, the legislation recreates the state’s Hospital Provider Fee program in a separate fund, saving hospitals like Children’s Hospital Colorado from massive cuts, while honoring the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) by lowering the state revenue cap. The bill negates $528 million in planned cuts to Colorado hospitals and supports rural communities via investments in education and transportation, all without raising taxes.

If Senate Bill 267 had failed, the Hospital Provider Fee would have continued to disrupt the state General Fund and hospitals would have continued to be slashed to balance the budget, impacting hospitals across the state, causing some rural hospitals to close and patients to lose access to care.

That’s not to say it was easy. Both political parties made major com-

promises to ultimately reach an agreement, demonstrating their resolve to put constituents first.

We recognize the bill isn’t perfect.

At Children’s Colorado, there are parts of SB-267 that wouldn’t be our preference, but we knew it was the answer to greater issues, and we appreciate that legislators on both sides of the aisle also recognized the greater good within the bill.

The bill sponsors—Senators Jerry Sonnenberg and Lucia Guzman and Representatives KC Becker and Jon Becker—showed what leadership looks like, refusing to quit because they knew how high the stakes were for their constituents. We also want to thank the Adams and Arapahoe County legislators who did right

by Colorado in supporting SB-267: Senators Kevin Priola, Jack Tate, Nancy Todd and Rhonda Fields, and Representatives Dafna MichaelsonJenet, Dominique Jackson and Mike Weissman.

The collaboration it took to pass SB-267 should serve as a model of what can happen when leaders come together to support the communities they represent. As Colorado’s largest safety net healthcare provider for children, we thank these lawmakers for doing what’s right for kids and what’s right for Colorado.

“Behave or I’ll slap you,” is a contrary message.

It doesn’t look like all of the harassment and discrimination seminars that schools and other institutions provide have accomplished very much.

If little Johnny follows the news and has read about Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar, Bill Cosby, Bill O’Reilly, the Marines photo scandal and others, what might little Johnny think?

“And crown thy good with brotherhood,” with occasional exceptions for harassment, homophobia and sexism.

And then there is the internet.

I’ll leave the role the internet plays in all of this to sociologists. I just know it’s there, and that I am a fingertip away from regret, and an inevitable retraction or apology.

I wasn’t there, Gabriel, but I’ll say it anyhow. I’m sorry.

‘Move Over for Cody’ bill signed into law Measure increases penalty for not giving wide berth to emergency vehicles

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bill named in honor of fallen Colorado State Trooper Cody Donahue, who was struck and killed

on Interstate 25 near Castle Rock in 2016, was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 1.

The “Move Over for Cody” bill increases the penalty for failing to follow Colorado’s “Move Over” law, which requires drivers to slow down or change lanes when passing a stationary emergency vehicle or towing carrier. It was sponsored by state Rep. Polly Lawrence, RRoxborough Park, state Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and state Rep.

Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs.

The penalty was increased from a class A traffic offense to a class 1 misdemeanor — with fines ranging from $500 to $5,000 — if a driver causes bodily injury, and to a class 6 felony — which could include prison time and a fine of up to $100,000 — if a driver causes the death of another person.

“Drivers, when you see law enforcement or emergency vehicles on

the sides of roadways, please slow down, move over and give them room to do their job and get home safely to their family,” Lawrence said in a news release. “We have seen the tragic result of drivers who failed to pay attention, and I hope the stiffer penalties in this new law serve as a potent reminder to move over for our law enforcement and first responders.”

Senate Bill 229 will go into effect Sept. 1.

Five of Littleton’s special spots are featured in a new exhibit at the Littleton Museum. “Preserving Memory and Place” opened May 26 and runs through Feb. 18, 2018 in a gallery to the right of the entrance. The stone Denver and Rio Grande Depot, Town Hall Arts Center, Columbine Mercantile, Masonic Temple and the Louthan Historic District are singled out as examples to explain why we care about preserving places — as a physical reminder of our culture.

To the left of the gallery entrance, a visitor reads: “The structures preserved have meaning, which helps us to recall memories of an important event, group or time in our shared cultural past …” The wall text calls up the example of the first American Landmark, a treasure saved from demolition: Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were adopted and signed. In 1816, developers wanted to demolish it and Philadelphia took it over. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visited

A display built around the historic Denver and Rio Grande station, built from Castle Rock rhyolite, is part of a new exhibit about historic preservation, “Preserving Memory and Place” at the Littleton Museum.

SONYA ELLINGBOE not only by Americans, but travelers from across the world. A map shows that National Historic Landmarks have increased from 25,777 in 1980 to 91,225 in 2015.

Each of the five chosen for inclusion is highlighted by a striking floorto-ceiling photograph that seems to take on extra dimension. The images are accessorized with a few related objects or furnishings and a set of ex-

planatory displays: History, including architect or builder; Value Preserved and Designation — as a local, state or national landmark.

The Denver and Rio Grande Depot, which now serves passengers on the RTD light rail (resuming a commuter function it filled many years ago), was originally located where the railroad depression is now. This busy stone depot and the nearby frame Santa Fe

Depot served passengers and carried, mail, freight, milk and much more …

We are told that when the D&RG was started, an engine called “Montezuma” and cars brought local dignitaries to the site. (Passenger use of the depot stopped in 1967 and freight in 1981.)

In front of the depot, one sees suitcases, and items to be shipped on the next train. We learn that it was moved to Geneva Park when the railroad depression construction began. At 180 tons, it took two days to reach its new location. In 1998, when the Southwest Light Rail was ready to open, the depot was moved again and it now provides coffee and shelter to another generation of commuters. It was designated a local historic landmark by Littleton in 1973.

The exhibit considers several levels of history and use, so both kids and adults will find ideas to carry home and relate to life today in Littleton.

is the season — for grill scraping and sirloin marinating on patios throughout the state.

But not for vegetarians, who often end up buying the same frozen veggie burger, not eating or not showing up at all to these meat-centralized social events.

Andy Floyd, executive chef at Kitchen Table Cooking School in Greenwood Village, believes that an entire category of food is being ignored: vegetables.

“When you start to put different vegetables on the grill, you have a whole new category to experiment with,” Floyd said. “Anything you pick up in the produce section can have a place on the grill.”

Floyd has taught culinary arts for 18 years. He started teaching after working in the industry for 10 years, in three-star Michelin restaurants in France and Washington, D.C. Anything that can be cooked on the stove can be cooked on a grill, Floyd said.

Grilling any food, Floyd said, gives it a distinguishable char from high-heat searing and generates a taste not found in any other cooking method.

“You get this whole different flavor profile that you don’t get on the stove,” Floyd said. “You start to think of combining other vegetables as the main event.”

Throughout his cooking career, Floyd’s experiments on the grill have led to some delicious discoveries.

Here, he shares his favorite ways to grill veggies.

Potatoes Cutting a potato in half, season it with oils and spices, then grill it on each side. If you lightly mash the potato into the grill, Floyd said, there will be more charred flavoring.

Portobello mushrooms These are a “no brainer” when it comes to grilling veggies, Floyd said.

These mushrooms absorb liquids well, allowing them to hold endless flavors.

Eggplants After salting slices of eggplant, Floyd adds olive oil and grills until the slices are charred on each side.

This is one of his favorite vegetables to grill.

Carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, beets When these veggies are grilled, their natural sugars create a caramelized char on the vegetable. Cut them into chunks.

Sweet onions After peeling off the outer skin, cut the onion in half along the outer equator. Put powdered bouillon, vinegar, salt and pepper on the inside.

Close up the onion and grill inside aluminum foil. For an extra kick, Floyd recommends sprinkling some miso paste in the onion.

Saying a sorrowful goodbye to a maker of musical memories

S

ometimes it can be difficult to explain why the death of a musician, actor or writer affects us as much as it does. Nine times out of 10, the artist is a person we’ve never met, never shook hands with, or heard LINER directly address us.

NOTES But we still feel like we know them, —or better, they know us — because of how their art seemed to capture something uniquely true about who we are. Maybe it’s a feeling we’ve always had, but never put into words, or Clarke Reader something we wanted to say, but never had the courage.

When Gregg Allman, the voice and driving force behind the Allman Brothers for decades, died on May 27 at age 69, it felt like the death of someone I knew.

Perhaps the biggest reason Allman’s death made me so sad is that he and his music remind me so much of my dad, who at 61 is one of Allman’s biggest fans.

Like many people my age, I was introduced to the Allman Brothers because they were one of those musicians that seemed to be constantly blaring out of

speakers wherever my dad happened to be. Could’ve been the car stereo as my brother and I rode around as he ran errands, our home system as he’d do work around the house, or his headphones when he’d be reading on vacation.

As much as we may not want to admit it, the music our parents played while we were growing up gets intermingled with our DNA, and it affects our taste.

That’s just how it goes. No matter how cool we try to seem, like we discovered Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin or the Allman Brothers in our own way, somewhere back there our parents hit play on an album, cassette or CD and got us started.

Of course, I came to appreciate Allman for my own reasons.

There was something quintessentially southern about his voice — how it always sounded warm, even when Allman was growling or howling. His career as a keys player is vastly underrated, mostly because he surrounded himself by some of the best guitar players around, and that musical generosity said a lot about who he was as a man.

As THE southern rock group, I always appreciated how the Allman Brothers embraced the best parts of their surroundings and rebelled against the worst. As writer Drew Millard wrote in his tribute to Allman

for Noisey, “Unlike Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band to which they are most often compared, the Allmans — a proudly multiracial group from the start — never flirted with Confederate imagery as a misguided symbol of southern rebellion against a wider world. Instead, they were southerners rebelling against the society that raised them.”

But it was the personal connections to Allman’s music that made me a lifelong fan.

Like the way that “Revival” is one of the all-time great road mixtape kickoff songs, or how few songs sound better than “Whipping Post” when you’ve just had a bad experience with a girlfriend.

And if I had a crush on you, at some point you were going to get a mixtape with “Melissa” on it. It’s that perfect a love song.

My favorite memories with Allman all involve seeing him live, sometimes with the whole family, but always with my dad. I remember one concert, years ago at Red Rocks, late in the season, and freezing rain started falling. Soaked and shivering, we eventually bailed early, but there were times during the performance when Allman and his band were really cooking, that you forgot all about the misery. That’s the power of truly great music.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK

Selection: Dan Auerbach’s “Waiting on a Song,” released on Nonesuch Records.

Review: It might surprise longtime listeners of The Black Keys to hear that Auerbach’s (the duo’s front man) second solo release is light on the blues and heavy on the 70’s alt-country vibes. What’s even more surprising is how well he takes country and soft rock sounds, and adds a shimmer that only a master craftsman is capable of. Add the fact that John Prine is a co-writer on the title track, and guitar legend Duane Eddy lends a lick or two, and you have an album that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Favorite song: “Never in My Wildest Dreams” Best song for a sunny morning: “Shine On Me”

Gregg Allman made truly great music. And for myself, my dad and many other fathers and sons, the Midnight Rider will be missed.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he wonders if crossroads will ever let him go. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Toss all chopped vegetables in a large bowl with enough oil and balsamic for an even thin coating. Put them in your grill basket.

Grill with the lid closed for about 15-20 minutes until the veggies are slightly charred and cooked to your liking. Toss every few minutes to ensure that they are not burning and they cook on all sides.

Some tips: Feel free to experiment will all kinds of veggies. Just be sure to watch closely — denser ones will take longer to cook. If you find certain ones are quick grillers, then prepare your selections in batches. Use whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, asparagus, bell pepper, squash, etc., would be great, too.

Chop vegetables so they are relatively similar sizes.

Experiment with seasonings and sauces for different flavor combinations.

Exhibition on Western movies examines American mythology Denver Art Museum hosts show through next three months

IF YOU GO “The Western: An Epic in Art and Myth” runs through Sept. 10 at the Denver Art Museum and occurs to us as an ideal outing for visiting family members. Denver is a logical place to hold this exhibit as a crossroads of the Old and New West. The DAM is open daily except Mondays and this show requires special ticketing. For information, see denverartmuseum.org or call 720-8655000.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They’re coming at you before you enter the glass gallery doors! A movie screen shows mounted horsemen rushing to the forefront — either chasing or evading someone else … These are clips from six different films, from historic black-and-white to contemporary, cycling continuously.

And all are possibly inspired by a classic American image mounted to the left of the screen: Charles Remington’s large 1889 oil on canvas painting called “A Dash for the Timber,” loaned by the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Denver Art Museum focuses on America’s special mythology in a new exhibit running through Sept. 10 called “The Western: An Epic in Art and Film.” This is the first such blend of still and moving images that emphasizes the artistic legacy and evolution contributing to the development of the Western genre. “It’s been a wonderful ride,” said DAM Director Christoph Heinrich, who also made a point

Frederic Remington’s large oil painting “A Dash for the Timber” (1889) has served as inspiration for more than one film director for a galloping-mounted-riders scene. It is exhibited in “The Western: An Epic in Art and Film” at the Denver Art Museum.

of the support by the National Endowment for the Arts, which offers federal indemnity in addition to the usual high insurance coverage for art that is a national treasure.

The exhibit was co-curated by Thomas Brent Smith, director of the Petrie Institute at the Denver Art Museum, and Mary Dailey

Desmarais, Ph.D., curator of International Modern Art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where the exhibit will appear next.

“There are many touch points,” Smith said. Many directors referred to painting as they created films, both for subject matter and blocking the characters in a story.

“This is a visual construct of the West … How we understand — or misunderstand — the West comes from movies,” Smith said. This is the first time the DAM has used film to this extent. A visitor has examples of the set, the cast and the artists/directors mingled through the exhibit, with related art and objects interspersed with a number of small spaces featuring film clips.

“From Bierstadt to Tarantino, it’s digestible … maybe memories from a long time ago — or yesterday,” Smith commented.

Directors John Ford, who covered five decades and more than 150 films (starting with “Iron Horse” in 1924) and Sergio Leone, known for his “Spaghetti Westerns,” bookend the history, now picked up by many contemporary directors—some

with tongue in cheek.

A section looking at the counterculture features artists Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Kent Monkman, as well as recent film such as “Brokeback Mountain” and “Django Unchained.” We find changes from stories of the Old West to issues of our time, with more sympathetic images of Native Americans. Some recent films take the focus from agriculture to oil.

Major shifts in culture included the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. “We go to the Western to work it out,” Smith said.

Mary Demarais commented: “Really, at this point the Western itself is an agent of change,” the major artistic export from America — with Abstract Expressionism.

That export started with Buffalo Bill Cody and his Wild West Shows, which brought the myth of the American West to Europe, beginning in 1887, and continues today.

Note: This show requires some “backing and forthing” to pick up on interrelated themes, if the visitor can manage it.

And … don’t miss Kent Monkman’s “Boudoir de Berdashe” (2007), with its brocade tipi, crystal chandelier, buffalo skin rug, red brocade Victorian divan, birch bark “Louis Vuitton” luggage and Miss Chief ’s high-heeled, beaded moccasins and versions of the silent film, “Shooting Geronimo.” It’s near the end and manages to make fun of a good deal you’ve just absorbed.

Accomplished performer coming to Lone Tree stage ‘Story Songs’ album will be at core of appearance

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Betty Buckley appears at the Lone Tree Art Center on June 10, she will bring a wonderful voice, developed by years of performing and teaching. Her show will primarily draw on her new album, “Story Songs,” issued by Palmetto Records in April, she said. She will be accompanied by her pianist Christian Jacob, from Los Angeles, winner of seven Grammy awards.

The next day, Jacobs will accompany Buckley in a Los Angeles ceremony, where she will be honored with a Julie Harris Award from the Actors Fund for her role as a psychologist in M. Night Shyamalan’s film “Split” (2016), a psychological horror film about a man with dissociative identity disorder.

Then, she will continue on tour across the country with concerts, workshops and more

IF YOU GO BETTY BUCKLEY will appear in concert at 8 p.m. June 10 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets, $50, $60, lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.

Born in Texas, daughter of an Air Force father, who decided to settle near Fort Worth, Buckley presently lives an hour west of Fort Worth, where she keeps her horses. She started performing professionally at 14, she said during a phone conversation on May 26. Her college training was at Texas Christian University, where she majored in journalism and minored in theater. At 21, she arrived in New York City in January 1969, with an audition the first day.

In 1982, she originated the role of Grizzabella, the Glamour Cat in the Broadway production of “Cats,” for which she won a Tony. “Memory,” her heartbreaking signature song from that show, is still very familiar. She said this and her appearance as aging Hollywood star, Norma Desmond, in “Sunset Boulevard” are her favorite roles. “They feel like sisters of mine,”

she said. She has also appeared in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Gypsy,” and Horton Foote’s “The Old Friends,” as the stepmother in the TV series “Eight is Enough,” and has 16 albums plus other television and film credits.

During the week before her Lone Tree appearance, Buckley has been leading a song interpretation and

monologue workshop that helps young, and older, professionals prepare for auditions. This will be her sixth annual presentation and she teaches several times a year in New York. “It’s very intense,” she added.

Auditors are welcome — for a fee. “I don’t critique.”

In the fall, she will work on a new theater piece in New York, she said.

Elephant Rock riders find a wheel fun time

Riders in the 30th annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival head out on June 4 for one of the courses. The cycling event was held in Castle Rock over the June 3-4 weekend and was based at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Annual cycling festival draws thousands to Castle Rock

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a beautiful Sunday morning, nearly 6,000 people went for a ride during the 30th annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock.

There were riders of all abilities and ages on different types of bikes at the June 4 event. The finish-line area sometimes became congested with riders taking pictures. One of the familiar refrains heard was “we did it.”

Cyclists chose from among five courses to ride: the 100-mile, 62mile, 42-mile, 27-mile gravel and eight-mile family routes.

Joe Smith, of Lone Tree, rode the 62-mile course in four hours, 31 minutes and 26 seconds, with an average speed of 13.4 mph.

“It went really well,” he said. “I cut my time from last year and the reason I did that is I trained more.

I rode a 100 miles just last week.

Anna Reed of Littleton makes the turn crossing the finish line on June 4 in the eight-mile family course during the 30th annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival. Anna finished the course with grandfather Dave Mitchell and just ahead of grandmother Laurie “LJ” Mitchell, both of Arvada. The cycling event was held in Castle Rock over the June 3-4 weekend and was based at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

“I like to ride. I have a stationary kinetic bike in the basement. I get on that and turn on the television.

I ride for the exercise and health and to get ready for the MS150, which is the last weekend of June.”

Sean Hanley, of Denver, put aside his mountain bike for a road cycle

and also finished the 62-mile ride in less than five hours.

“It was a beautiful ride,” Hanley said. “I’ve been around Castle Rock for 20 years and never had ridden it. I just started road biking. I’ve SEE CYCLING, P29

A look in the rear-view reveals exciting moments

W

e don’t like to live in the past.

But it’s time to take a look back on the 2016-17 school year for area sports teams.

• Two highlights were the back-to-back dramatic state playoffs games of the Rock Canyon boys basketball team.

OVERTIME Rock Canyon scored four points in the final five seconds to beat Grandview 4240 in a quarterfinal game.

A steal and an ensuing follow tip-in of a missed layup in the final second sent the Jaguars into the semifinals, where the team lost on a free throw with 0.8 second Jim Benton remaining to eventual state champion Eaglecrest.

• The Jefferson County 4A regular season basketball finale was remarkable and went two overtimes with D’Evelyn escaping with a 71-69 triumph over Golden.

• Just watching Mountain Vista attempt to win the Class 5A title on the final day of the volleyball championships was tiring.

Vista played eight sets in its final two pool matches and then the Golden Eagles had to win two, one-set playoffs before advancing to the semifinals. Mountain Vista beat Rock Canyon, 3-2, in the semifinals and led 3-1 in the finals against Fossil Ridge before fatigue took its toll.

Vista lost the fifth-set tiebreaker to Fossil Ridge to end as state runner-up after playing 15 sets in one afternoon and evening.

• It was hard to ignore the rare Continental League baseball chase. Going into the final day of the regular season, six teams were tied for first place.

• Valor Christian captured five state titles.

It appeared that last fall might be the season for payback as the Eagles football team started with a 1-3 record. However, after a narrow 10-7 semifinal win over Cherry Creek, the Eagles whipped Pomona 30-14 to win their seventh title in eight years.

Ali Kilponen pitched Valor to its third straight 4A softball title and the boys lacrosse team captured its second straight state crown. The baseball team defended its 4A state title and the boys basketball took home the championship hardware after being the runner-up last year.

• Cherry Creek won state titles in boys and girls tennis and boys lacrosse to give the Bruins 200 overall state titles in its history.

• Pomona’s girls gymnastics and wrestling teams secured piggyback state championships.

• Green Mountain was the 4A gymnastics winners.

• The Lutheran boys won their fourth consecutive 3A track crown.

• Mountain Vista’s girls soccer team didn’t look like champions early in the season but won two shootouts in the playoffs and went SEE BENTON, P30

been mountain biking my whole life.”

Challenging was a word that several riders used to describe their ride.

Randy Gleason, of Parker, crossed the finish line seven hours after starting the century course.

“I’ve been doing this for about 15 years and this is the third year with the new course,” he said. “It’s always fun just to push yourself and challenge yourself a little bit. And it’s a nice warmup for a lot of other rides I’m going to do this summer.”

It was also challenging for Manisha Hira, of Commerce City, with her son Shivan in a child trailer during the family ride in which officers of the Castle Rock Police Department escorted cyclists through construction downtown.

Susan Gobbo, of Morrison, was accompanied by her young grandson Damien on a bike beside her.

“I’ve done this one other time but this is my grandson’s first time,” she said. “I hope we are ready for this. We are trying to get him excited about biking and see what he can do as a youngster.”

Everybody seemed excited to see and ask Everod Samuel, of Centennial, about his bike called the Ordinary, a high-wheeler. He rode it over the 62-mile course.

One rider saw the bike after Samuel went inside for some lunch and said, “I passed it a couple times on the ride

Highlands Ranch BikeSource employee Tony Valenti makes a quick repair on a rider’s shifter mechanism. Mechanics from BikeSource were up before dawn helping hundreds of riders make some last-minute adjustments before race time.

PHOTOS BY PAUL DISALVO and wanted to get a picture of it but couldn’t.”

Samuel spent a lot of time talking to people about his bike and how it can be difficult to get on and off and to stop.

“Oh, yeah, a lot of people look at it and I get some interesting comments, too,” Samuel said. “It’s a lot harder to ride than a regular bicycle. It was tough for me to learn to ride it, but

you learn very quickly.

“I did this last year for the first time. Oh man, that first hill today was tough. If I would of had 10 more yards to go I would not have made it.”

Scot Harris, Elephant Rock event director, said the 6,000 riders matched last year’s estimated total.

“The weather couldn’t have been better,” he said. “No wind, and all the riders were happy.”

Riders in the 30th annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival head out on the morning of June 4 for one of the courses. The cycling event was held in Castle Rock over the June 3-4 weekend and was based at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

on to defeat Arapahoe in the state title match.

• Ralston Valley’s girls golf team came from five shots off the pace after the first round to win the 5A state title by nine shots as the three scoring golfers in the final round averaged 76.3.

There were plenty of area individual state champions, especially in wrestling and tennis. However, there are too many to mention to give them justice. It is hard, however, not to mention a couple.

• Kyle Pearson of Highlands Ranch carded rounds of 66 and 67 to finish 9-under-par to capture the boys state golf championship at Bookcliff County Club in Grand Junction.
