Police chief leaves after three years Streeter served 24 years in Lakewood before coming to Lone Tree

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media For the second time since 2012, the City of Lone Tree will be instituting a search for a new chief of police. On May 31, the

city announced that Police Chief Jeffrey Streeter will retire from the department effective June 9.

“Streeter has made a significant impact during his long law enforcement career. We certainly wish him the best as he embarks on to his new endeavors,” City Manager Seth Hoffman said in a news release issued May 31.

Hoffman was not available for further comment, but Kristen

Knoll, community outreach coordinator, said Streeter’s retirement was not “entirely unexpected.”

“He did serve for three years, and he provided us with a twoweek notice of his retirement,” Knoll said. “He is definitely leaving on amicable terms and has chosen to move on to new opportunities and challenges.

He definitely had an impact

on the police department, and we wish him all the best in the future.”

Streeter served the Lakewood Police DepartStreeter ment for 24 years before he was hired as the Lone Tree Chief in March 2013, replacing the department’s

first police chief, Stephen Hasler, who was fired in August 2012.

According to the news release, Streeter’s official retirement date was effective June 9 but he appeared to have left the department the previous week. By June 3, calls for Streeter were being directed to the interim chief, Cmdr. Ron Pinson, who also served as interim chief in 2012.

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

JARED HOFFMAN Schwab trainee enjoys mountains, traveling What I do I work at Charles Schwab. I just started back in January in a broker-training program. We’re on track to be licensed. We have a lot of different directions we can go — retirement advice, financial advice, customer service, taking care of transactions for people whether it be resetting a password if they’re locked out of their account, or they need a checkout of their account, something like that.

It really covers a lot of different topics for clients. The end goal is to work

to where you’re going to be talking with people about their goals, their financial plans and their needs.

Getting out and about I’m from Alabama, but I’ve lived here 23 years now, so I’m more local than most.

The big thing for me is … in wintertime, definitely skiing; summertime, hiking.

Either way, getting out to the mountains is the way to go.

My new passion is traveling. I just started, actually. I went on a big trip to Asia before I started at Schwab, so now I’m kind of hooked. I got scuba-certified, so next I’d like to do New Zealand, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef.

It’s nice to get out and experience other cultures. I’d say the biggest thing for me was, it kind of makes you appreciate what you have. You get out there, like in Asia we were staying in some Third World areas. It’s enlightening, and it’s crazy at the same time to see how content these people are with what we would consider to be nothing.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com For her daily commute, Katy Burley either walks or takes RTD’s Call-n-Ride to the nearest Light Rail Station at Belleview and I-25. Then she takes the train to downtown Denver.

“If you try it,” she said, “you might like it and make it a new habit.”

The sooner Denver starts acting like a big city — which means using more multi-modal transportation — the better off it will be, said Burley, a Greenwood Village resident and public relations coordinator for Denver Regional Council of Governments.

And that’s the hope behind Bike to Work Day — to encourage commuters to explore other ways of getting around.

Way to Go, a transportation program of Denver Regional Council of Governments, coordinates the annual event to promote healthy lifestyle choices.

National Bike Month is May but because of Colorado’s iffy spring weather, the occasion falls on the third Wednesday of June — that’s June 22 this year.

DRCOG is a group of elected officials from 56 agencies that address regional issues and plan for the future. The council oversees several counties along the Front Range, including Arapahoe and Douglas.

E-Cigarettes, Hooka Pens, and Vape pen =

Same device...Different names.

Learn more at: https://www.dcsdk12.org/ prevention-and-school-culture

DRCOG’s three areas of focus are aging, regional planning and transportation.

Last year, Bike to Work Day had 32,800 riders with an average bike ride of about nine miles, according to a DRCOG report. The event reduced daily carbon dioxide emissions by a quarter of 1 million pounds.

Bike to Work Day isn’t a bike race — it’s a bike ride and a communal celebration.

Stations will be set up across Denver for riders to rejuvenate, socialize and share their success. Last year, there were 243 stations, including breakfast stations in the morning, snack and water stations in the afternoon, and craft-beer stations at the end the day.

“It’s a way of saying, ‘You biked so many miles so cheers to you,’” Burley said.

Participants can register for free online at www.biketoworkday.us until June 22. The user-friendly website will map out a bike route from starting to ending point. It will also identify nearby stations.

Registered participants are automatically entered to win prizes, including bike gear, sports packages and Red Rocks tickets. Participants can enter an additional sweepstakes for a cycling vacation for two along Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

Bike to Work Day puts a fun spin on behavior modification, Burley said.

“If commuters just try it,” she said, “they are more likely to stick with it.”

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Candidates for county commissioner, District 3 Q&A with Lora Thomas

L

ora Thomas, 60, is a third-generation Coloradan who grew up in Denver. She’s lived in Highlands Ranch for 17 years and Douglas County for 25 years. She enjoys spending time with her family, including her 3-year-old granddaughter.

Thomas was the Douglas County coroner from 2011-15. She was a major in the Colorado State Patrol for 26 years.

She has a bachelor’s degree Thomas in science and finance from Regis University, a master’s degree in business administration from Regis University, and an associate degree in applied science and criminal justice from Arapahoe Community College. She is president of A Night With the Coroner, a nonprofit organization for suicide prevention awareness.

Why are you seeking this position?

I am running for this county commissioner position so that Republican voters have the opportunity to cast their ballot for a true conservative with a proven record of not only talking the talk, but walking it as well.

I’m not the party insider — I’m the candidate who is ready on day one to manage tax dollars wisely while ensuring government services are provided.

Growth will be balanced so that the character of Douglas County does not change. And I will not accept federal grants that turn over local zoning decision-making authority to the federal government.

Q&A with Monica Wasden

M

What makes you the best person for the job?

I am the best candidate for the county commissioner position because, as Douglas County coroner, I have proven that I know how to deliver necessary government services with less tax dollars. I am the only candidate in this race with an MBA and a finance degree.

I’ve managed large public-sector budgets for years. This isn’t my first rodeo. As a major with the Colorado State Patrol, I worked collaboratively with other agencies to benefit our communities, and I’ve developed and implemented public policy.

Finally, I am an independent thinker who will represent the interests of the citizens of Douglas County. I am not beholden to developers and elected officials who financed and endorsed my campaign.

onica Wasden, 48, has lived in Highlands Ranch for 21 years.

She’s been a delegate for the Highlands Ranch Community Association for 16 years and served on the Steering Committee and as first treasurer for the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce for five years.

She and her husband, Jeff, have been married for 29 years and have one Wasden son.

Wasden has a pre-law degree and Paralegal Certificate from Butte College in northern California.

She owned a construction finance company for 10 years. She now owns PROformance Apparel, which has been recognized as “Business of the Year” by the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. She is a first-time candidate for public elected office.

What will your top two priorities be, if elected?

Growth will continue to bring vibrant economic opportunities to Douglas County. I will manage that growth with balance so that updates for our transportation and other support systems are not just an afterthought. As the only candidate with an MBA and a finance degree, I will oversee the county’s finances to ensure taxpayer dollars are managed appropriately. I have the proven track record of being accountable to citizens. I will listen and depend on input from them as I represent their interests as a commissioner. I am honored for this opportunity to serve my community.

Why are you seeking this position?

“You make a living by what you do, but you make a life by what you give” explains why my family works so hard at serving our community. We love Douglas County and want to ensure it continues to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. We need more servant leaders and more business people in office. I am pragmatic, work cooperatively with diverse groups of people and have a proven track record as a successful leader. I’m running to serve the people of Douglas County.

What makes you the best person for the job?

First, I’m not a career politician. As a small business owner who has spent my career in the private sector, my focus has been on creating jobs and serving my community. My peers have consistently elected me to leadership roles in every organization I have been a part of because they knew that I want what is best for the community. My background in finance and construction management has prepared me to tackle our budget, water, open space and infrastructure needs. I am running to serve the residents of Douglas County, not to further a political agenda.

What will your top two priorities be, if elected?

Economic Development: Government doesn’t create jobs — the private sector does. It is the job of county government to get out of the way, to help companies get up and running, and to support those job creators. I will work to ensure government is fair, efficient and as minimally intrusive as possible to continue to foster strong economic growth and the county’s long-term financial stability.

Growth Management: We expect to see another 100,000 residents moving into Douglas County. We need visionary planning that protects our resources, ensures reusable water supplies and efficient transportation infrastructure. We must ensure that development continues in the northern tier while protecting the beauty and heritage of southern Douglas County.

Bees’ plight fuels sweet fight Farmers’ market vendor educates customers about saving the pollinators

By Mark Bautista Special to CCM Among the 20 booths at the Highlands Ranch Farmers’ Market bursting with colorful dyed clothes, bunches of asparagus and boxes of candied nuts, one stands out for its simplicity.

Only three products adorn the table: two kinds of chocolate bars made from South American beans and a box of “Honey Pots” — think Rolo candies with honey instead of caramel.

The latter is the signature product of a company called Beehive Chocolates.

Ian Horvath, a professional sign-maker by day, is the man behind the chocolate. But his goal is about much more than selling the sweets. It’s about saving bees, whose populations are dwindling worldwide.

“We are a chocolate company whose main focus is on honeybees and native pollinators,” Horvath, 26, said. “These

creatures are the canary in the coal mine for our larger agricultural system and the environment as a whole.”

Horvath, whose crusade to protect bees began in middle school, started making Honey Pots when he established the company two years ago in Phoenix, where he grew up.

Horvath moved to Fort Collins a year ago and generally sells his products in farmers’ markets around that area. A recent Sunday at Highlands Ranch’s Town Center was his first foray into the south metroDenver region because he wanted to try something new.

A “one-man band,” Horvath sets up his stand with the hopes of attracting customers’ attention and opening discussion for his cause. His large yellow banner spells out the mission: “Bean to Bee.” “We try to educate about honeybees, what you can do on a local level to help the populations,” Horvath said.

He even invites customers to don beekeeper suits and learn more about bees firsthand at various bee farms throughout Denver.

Chocolate, liked by just about everyone, is Horvath’s

icebreaker.

“It’s a great medium for me to engage with people,” he said.

“After all, chocolate is only possible because of the bees and native pollinators in their respective countries.”

Horvath also wants to involve children in the cause.

“We’re trying to encourage a younger generation to start beekeeping,” he said. “We want to introduce kids to bees so they’re not afraid of them because a lot of beekeepers are 55 and older.”

There is a sense of urgency in Horvath’s mission.

A recent phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, in which a hive’s worker-bee population suddenly dies, has created losses of up to 90 percent of bees nationwide, especially in Iowa and California. Factors of the disorder, which began in 2006, range from an increase in certain parasites to pesticide poisoning that bees come into contact with during pollination.

Though bee populations have been rising since 2010, such a dramatic loss concerns Horvath because bees pollinate up to one-third of a typical human’s diet. A large loss of bees can also increase the frequency

Despite these challenges, Horvath is optimistic about the future of Beehive Chocolates.

In addition to a new kitchen, the company plans to expand beyond farmers’ markets into groceries and boutique shops.

And unlike hobbies or interests that dwindle over time, Horvath’s passion doesn’t show signs of vanishing.

“I find I cling on to a lot of things and let go (of them) every so often,” he said. “This never really faded away.”

The company only uses three ingredients in its candy: cacao beans, cane sugar and cocoa butter.

Money helps strengthen community safety net Philip S. Miller grant money awarded to 22 area programs

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Twenty-two nonprofit programs that help enhance the quality of life for Douglas County residents in need will share $185,600 in grant funds this year provided by the Philip S. Miller Trust.

“Each of the recipients has a pivotal role in providing a safety net for our families, at-risk adults, youth and seniors and many provide a service that is not available through other means,” said County Commissioner and board Chairman David Weaver.

The Philip S. Miller Grant Program is the legacy of Douglas County businessman and philanthropist Philip Simon Miller and his wife, Jessie. In 1980 the Millers, having no children, established The Philip S. Miller Charitable Trust and named nine beneficiaries to receive an annual cash distribution from income generated by the trust upon their deaths. Douglas County is one of them.

Trust distributions are to be used “exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes.”

Individual grant amounts range from $1,000 — awarded to the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation, which provides financial and emotional support for state troopers, civilian staff and their families in times of traumatic injury, death or personal hardships — to $30,000 awarded to the Parker Task Force.

The task force, in existence for 29

years, is an all-volunteer comprehensive, emergency assistance, safety net and selfsufficiency program. It will use the Miller money for general operating expenses to serve more than 400 families in Parker and Franktown, plus surrounding areas.

The Douglas/Elbert Task Force also received $25,000, which will go specifically to assisting residents with utility bills. In 2015, the task force provided $132,250 in utility assistance for approximately 389 households, a 20 percent increase from the previous year.

Executive Director Kurt Kaczor said he anticipates that number will go up again in 2016.

“The cost of living is very high and we have a lot of families and individuals struggling in our community,” he said. “Every year it continues to get more dire for folks.”

For the Sky Cliff Center — which provides enriching and empowering programs and care for adults with special needs, seniors and stroke victims — the $25,000 means adding a modular building to increase the number of participants that can be served on a daily basis.

“It’s very important that we have meaningful days,” said Sky Cliff Executive Director Shawn Littell. “We want our participants to be tired because they’ve had a full day.”

Adding the extra space will allow the center to offer more art, music and job development programs.

“Our numbers are growing and we don’t want to have to deny people,” Littell said. “We want to be able to serve as many as possible, and the grant will help us do that.”

Library Continued from Page 1

fondly of the old, familiar and cozy branch off Lone Tree Parkway and Yosemite Street.

The Douglas County Library District will celebrate on July 9 the grand opening of its new Lone Tree library, 1.3 miles away next to the Lone Tree Arts Center at Commons Street and Sky Ridge Avenue. The new branch, almost three times the size of the current branch, boasts larger meeting spaces, more reading and media content and technology.

But librarians and long-time patrons will miss some facets of the old place, which has been a community staple for nearly three decades.

“It really was the center of the neighborhood because there really wasn’t anything else,” said former Lone Tree councilwoman Sharon Van Ramshorst.

In its infancy in the 1980s, the city of Lone Tree made a deal with developer Bill Walters to develop “the Fairways” area, a stretch that runs along Lone Tree’s golf course, across the street from the library.

The arrangement promised the community a new park, new trails and a new library.

In 1986, the Lone Tree community, then only about 100 homes, welcomed the Oakes Mill Library, the city’s first, at 8827 Lone Tree Parkway.

“It was one of the few amenities we had in the neighborhood,” Van Ramshorst said. “The library was definitely a gathering place. It served a wonderful purpose for our neighborhood.”

Over the years, Oakes Mill played host to fall festivals, children’s drama productions and even Fanny McFancy’s costumed storytime for the kids.

In 1998, the Oakes Mill library was renovated and renamed the Lone Tree Library, tucked against a natural backdrop of trees and bushes not too far from busy Yosemite.

“Just look out those windows,” 20-year librarian Mary Nordini said,

Mayor Continued from Page 1

that’s usually how my life works,” Millet said. “To have been here for 15 years is kind of mind-blowing for me. To have the opportunity to raise my children here, I feel very blessed to be able to do that.”

At first, Millet continued regular travel to California to continue working on projects, but over time, she began looking for opportunities to apply her knowledge and expertise in her new home, in her new community.

Her opportunity came when she learned about an opening on the City of Lone Tree’s planning commission through her homeowners association.

“I really enjoyed that (type of ) work,” Millet said. “I’m so proud of the contributions I was able to make and what I brought to the table … so I applied and was appointed to the planning commission about 12 years ago.”

Her work on the planning commission caught the attention of then District 1 Councilmember Jim Gunning.

In 2010, Gunning was planning a run for mayor and approached Millet as a possible candidate for the council seat he was vacating.

“My immediate gut reaction was to say, ‘Oh, no. No, no,’” Gunning pressed; asking her to give the prospect of a council seat some additional thought, to talk the idea over with her family.

“I did think about it,” she said. “I prayed about it, talked to my family.”

Millet only planned to complete the remaining two years of Gunning’s term when he was elected mayor in 2008, but then successfully completed a bid for re-election to the District 1 seat in 2010 and again in 2014.

Longtime patron Adam Zaborowski searches for the right book on the library’s online catalog. He says he’ll miss the quiet nature of the library. Photos by Mark Bautista looking at the pleasant view of green and brown through the library’s massive windows.

The library is beloved by patrons for its children’s storytimes, community meetings and the personal connection with its librarians.

But the library is rather cramped in its 10,000 square feet, providing little space for work or reading areas. When space is available, however, patrons enjoy some seclusion amid the tall bookshelves.

Patrons say they will miss this intimacy.

“It’s kind of a pristine location,” resident Linda McGavin said. “But it seems convenient, but off the beaten path – you’re tucked away. The new one’s not too bad, but the coziness of this I’ll miss.”

Residents also praise its quiet nature.

“It’s one of the things we like about coming here,” said Adam Zaborowski, a Douglas County resident for more

Millet became involved with multiple organizations statewide, including becoming chair of the Regional Transportation Commission, and a governor’s appointee to the Regional Air Quality Council. In 2012, she began serving as mayor pro tem.

“Collectively, we really did accomplish a lot,” she said.

Most notable among the contributions includes the completion of the Lone Tree Arts Center and her role in helping bring $35 million of federal gas tax money to support transportation projects in both Lone Tree and Douglas County.

Following eight years on the council, she relinquished the council seat in May when she once again succeeded Gunning, this time as Lone Tree’s Mayor.

“I certainly consider Jim a mentor,” she said. “I wouldn’t be doing this today if he hadn’t asked me to run.”

As mayor, Millet’s focus will be on managing growth and on perpetuating the feeling of community that she has enjoyed, so future residents will feel the same way about the city that she does.

“We are blessed with a lot of assets.

Just our location alone is a tremendous asset, but how do we continue to position ourselves for success as we move forward?” she said. “I want future development to contribute to the quality and character of our city.”

As part of that objective, Millet says that it is also important to focus on continued economic development, maintain the existing infrastructure, and reinvest in the community.

“I want people to feel the way I feel about this community,” she said.

“We want residents to be proud of this community, so paying attention not just to pretty, shiny, new but also maintaining and enhancing what we already have.”

than 30 years. “It is small and a little quiet compared to some of the ones that are bigger.”

Additionally, patrons will miss the convenient location. “…for the housing here, seems like it’s in the perfect place,” said Janell Zaborowski, Adam’s wife. “I would imagine closer residents would be displaced a bit having to go to that busy section.”

The busy section she refers to is the Lone Tree Commons center, where the new library is located. Besides the arts center, the new building is across from a Target shopping center and next to a senior living facility under construction.

Still, some patrons are looking forward to the library’s larger and grander version.

“This one’s pretty small so it’s pretty limited,” said Janell Zaborowski, referring to Lone Tree’s selection of books and media content.

And though Mayor Jackie Millet considered the library a nice community

asset when she first moved to Lone Tree 15 years ago, she agrees with Janell’s sentiment.

“As the city grew, the demands on the library continued to grow,” Millet said.

“As more and more population came in, it wasn’t able to keep up with the demand of what we have now.”

With eight study rooms and four meeting spaces, the new library will match the current demand of the city, she said.

Yet Millet also acknowledged the old place’s “beloved” nature and the challenge the city faces in utilizing the soonto-be-empty library space.

“It’s important to not see the old library (as) going away,” she said. “It’s a new beginning, a net gain for the community.”

5 things to know about rattlesnakes

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Summer is in full swing, which means most Coloradans are spending more time outdoors.

Whether it’s a hike through Chatfield State Park, a bike ride along the High Line Canal, or a barbecue out back, wildlife encounters are inevitable.

And snakes enjoy the warm sunshine as much as humans do.

Laura Lacerte, a Highlands Ranch Metro District park ranger, teaches Nature EdVentures classes on the habitat, environment and benefits of snakes. Although most are harmless, the rattlesnake is venomous and should be left alone.

Below are five things to know about snakes this season.

They tend to avoid human contact.

Most of Colorado’s snakes are innocuous, including backyard dwellers like the common garter snake and bullsnake.

But the prairie rattlesnake — characterized by green-and-brown coloring, key-hole shaped pupils, a triangular-shaped head and a rattle at the end of the tail — is venomous.

The reptile tends to avoid humans and humans should return the favor.

“If you see a rattlesnake, give it plenty of space,” said Lacerte. “Do not try to move it.”

They can be found in almost all of Colorado’s ecosystems.

During winter months, rattle snakes hibernate in outdoor dens, including rodent holes and rock piles.

Rattlesnakes are active from spring to fall. Most sightings happen on summer mornings and evenings between temperatures of 50 to 80 degrees, Lacerte said.

They spend most of their time basking in the sun on pavements or trails.

Be aware of surroundings, especially on hiking trails. Know what wildlife inhabits the trail, stay on the trail and watch wildlife “respectfully from a distance,” said Lacerte.

There are state laws on the treatment of snakes.

In Colorado, rattlesnakes may be legally killed if they pose a threat, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

All other snakes are classified as non-game wildlife, which includes more than 750 species that cannot be hunted, fished or trapped. Native cutthroat trout, bats, boreal toads, lynx, and blackfooted ferrets are non-game species.

They are all protected by state law.

Warning signs.

Rattle snakes will sound their tails as a warning sign. If an onlooker gets too close, they may elevate into an “S” shape.

“A snake in this position is highly agitated and should absolutely not be approached,” according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife report.

Baby rattlesnakes are more dangerous because they do not know how to use their rattler and will strike first if disturbed.

Adult snakes will bite as a last resort. If bitten, the victim should seek immediate medical treatment and try to remain as calm and still as possible, Lacerte said. Victims should not cover the wound with any type of bandage or suck the venom.

Although rattlesnake bites are painful, they usually aren’t fatal for healthy adults, Colorado Parks and Wildlife says.

Family Owned, Family Run

Eliminate potential dens.

Simple adjustments to a property can prevent snake encounters.

Homeowners should keep firewood covered in a box to eliminate dwelling spaces, says Colorado Parks and Wildlife. They should also avoid rows of large rocks in open, sunny areas, and trim vegetation where snakes could potentially hide.

Rodents are a major food source for snakes.

Homeowners should reduce the rodent population indoors and outdoors, and seal all entrances to crawl spaces and basements.

Relay for Life rolls into community American Cancer Society fundraisers will be in Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock and Littleton this summer

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The American Cancer Society will bring its Relay for Life to five locations in the south metro area this summer, with the first one taking place this weekend in Centennial.

Some 150 participants are expected to spend the day walking the track at Eaglecrest High School in Centennial beginning at noon on June 11, said Therese Buccio, American Cancer Society community manager. The fundraising goal is $27,500.

The next event will be on June 18 at Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch, where 500 people are expected to raise $100,000.

On July 16, 300 people are expected to raise $60,000 at Tallman Meadow Park in Parker, and on July 25, 300 are expected to raise $20,000 at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. Finally, a Littleton event at Cornerstone Park on Aug. 5 should draw 100, with a fundraising goal of $20,000.

The fundraising goals are based off of figures from previous years.

Since the early 1990s, 1.5 million lives that would have been lost to cancer have been saved, Buccio said, and today, two of three people diagnosed with cancer live five years or more.

“When we first began the fight against cancer, it was pretty much a death sentence,” she said.

“This decision did not come easy, and after lengthy consideration and many discussions with my family, I have chosen to move on to new opportunities and challenges,” Streeter wrote in an email to the Lone Tree Voice that echoed the press release issued by the city.

ton, in 1985, Relay for Life has become the world’s largest fundraising event fighting cancer, drawing 4 million participants to 6,000 events worldwide last year.

Jyme Thomas, team ambassador for Relay for Life of Littleton, hopes to make volunteering for the cause a lifelong passion.

Thomas began volunteering for Relay for Life in her Oklahoma hometown in high school and continued through college. After moving to Colorado, she didn’t do it for a couple of years, making this her first year back.

“I have a blast when I’m at Relay for Life,” she said. “It’s about happiness and letting those people know that they’re not alone.”

Thomas has had several friends and family members battle cancer.

“Everybody has somebody they know who has suffered from cancer,” she said.

women of the Lone Tree Police Department as well as the city.”

Streeter said he has no immediate plans other than to enjoy summertime activities in Colorado before making a decision about what to do next.

According to Knoll, the city does not have a timeline for instituting a search to fill the position, but discussions are expected to begin the week of June 6 when the city manager returns to the office.

“Our police department is really committed to doing great police work,” Knoll said. “We’re really looking forward to the next chapter in the department’s history.”

Lessons from a life well-lived This week I wanted to share a couple of lessons that I learned from Harry.

Harry served our country in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years. When he retired from the Air Force, he worked for an insurance company for another 20 years and retired successfully from that company. At age 59, he started and built a very successful local insurance company of his own. And when he finally sold off that business he took a part time job at Home Depot just to keep busy and spend time with other people and helping other people. He also faithfully served his church as an usher and treasurer and volunteer for many projects and committees. Oh, and once a week Harry volunteered to serve meals to the homeless.

Harry was my grandmother’s brother, so technically that made him my “great uncle.”

He was a great uncle, a better man, a loving husband, and a man of faith who served God, our country, his fellow man, and the community. He was a special man who worked hard, loved much, and laughed often. He loved telling jokes and laughing at all the jokes others shared with him. Every time I called him or saw him he would have two or three jokes for every new one that I had prepared for him.

His approach to balancing life and giving back was an incredible inspiration to me.

My grandmother was the first one to ever make the comparison. I would lovingly tease her and she would always say, “You are just

like your Uncle Harry.”

When I was a young boy I didn’t quite appreciate what that actually meant, but as I came to spend more time with Uncle Harry, it became a comparison and reference that I welcomed. For someone to say to me that I was just like my Uncle Michael Norton Harry was a badge I wore with honor and WINNING pride. And all I can WORDS hope and strive for is that as I live out the rest of my life I can have that same work ethic and spirit of love, laughter, giving back, and servanthood that he had.

Unfortunately, Uncle Harry passed away last week after a very brief battle with brain cancer at the age of 85. And as I was flying back home here to Colorado after attending the funeral services I couldn’t help but think about all of the love, admiration, and comments made about my uncle. I know that happens at every memorial service as we all look for the good things to remember and hold on to about our closest friends and family. But as I watched the scrolling video loop of my uncle’s life and listened as people shared their stories, that same pride welled up inside

of me, and re-ignited a passion of who I want to be and what I want to do in this world. He was a difference maker in the lives of so many people and I hope to be a difference maker too.

I have heard it said in several ways, but there will come a time in all of our lives where we will say one of two things, “I wish I had,” or “I am glad that I did.” If you are still reading this column, this is the part where you can take action and think of all the things that you are so glad that you did, and then make a list of all of the things you wish you had done and get busy making plans to do them. There is a difference maker in each and every one of us.

Whether we do something little that makes a big difference in this world or we do something big that makes a little difference in our community or within our family, we can do something that positively impacts the lives of others.

Are you just like my Uncle Harry? I’ll bet you have your own Uncle Harry and source of inspiration in your own life and I would love to hear all about that person at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can take a lesson from a life well lived, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Who is really in charge at DCSD? After reading the recent article “Focus turns to Fagen’s Legacy, Successor,” we need to ask who is running our Douglas County schools?

On May 17, douglascountyparents.com released audio of former Douglas County School Board Member Justin Williams addressing a group at a recent networking event. He stated, “I’ve come to the conclusion — and this is sort of the kick off to this movement- and I’m certainly not the only one — that if we go forward in the next election in 2017 without having a superintendent change, that we are going to lose.”

On May 24, Superintendent Fagen resigned her position with Douglas County Schools.

After shrugging off years of calls for her resignation from parents and staff, including the popular #firefagen created in 2013, less than two weeks after Williams began a movement to replace her, Dr. Fagen announced her resignation.

The timing of these two events is extremely dubious. Who is this group and how was their “movement” to replace Dr. Fagen successful so quickly?

Dr. Fagen is walking away from one of the largest superintendent contracts in the state.

Just signed in 2015, her enviable contract was worth over $1.5 million and would have kept Dr. Fagen in Douglas County until 2020.

Is our school district being run from a political strategy war room? Williams — who claimed hiring Dr. Fagen was his greatest accomplishment — did not suggest Dr. Fagen be replaced for the good of our students. He suggested she be replaced for the good of his candidates.

We as a community need to reverse this group’s initiatives since we now know they were not meant to improve our children’s lives, but instead were meant to further political ambitions.

Seems like old times, but with a difference Bob Dylan turned 75 in May. It’s not time yet to be consumed with reflection about Dylan. He is still performing. I’ll get to that.

The first Dylan song that sounded good to me was performed by Craig Marshall Smith someone else.

I didn’t warm up QUIET to him until after DESPERATION I heard “It Ain’t Me Babe” in 1965, recorded by the Turtles.

The Turtles were a Westchester, California, band led Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, who had been high school classmates.

Volman was the chubby one.

I saw him one night in a walk-up hamburger joint on Santa Monica Boulevard.

The song is thought to be about Dylan’s ex-girlfriend, Suze Rotolo (1943- 2011).

She’s the girl walking with Dylan on the cover of “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.”

(About their first meeting, Dylan said, “I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was the most erotic thing I had ever seen. Suddenly the air was full of banana leaves.”)

Dylan allegedly wrote the chorus “no, no,

no” as a parody of the Beatles “yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Life is not all Strawberry Fields, and maybe that’s part of the reason why I found comfort in Dylan’s asymmetrical and poetic songs, especially when I was in college.

The lyrics are aimed at the upper half of your body, namely your head and your heart.

What comes out today, most of it, is aimed at your lower half.

It’s all dance music.

You can’t hop and dance around to poetry, generally.

But rap. Aha. There are home movies of toddlers sparking it up to rap songs.

It doesn’t take much intelligence or any contemplation to appreciate today’s music.

You just have to want to wiggle, and watch your favorite performers wiggle. And change costumes.

There is no one left in Dylan’s tree.

Well, there’s Leonard Cohen. Cohen is 81.

There was a time when a songwriter’s words mattered.

Here are some names: Hoagy Carmichael, John Prine, Woody Guthrie, Townes Van Zandt, Tim Buckley, Ian Tyson (Ian & Sylvia), Joan Baez.

If you haven’t heard of Van Zandt, maybe you have heard of “Pancho & Lefty,” one of his songs.

See if you can find Buckley singing Smith continues on Page 11

Geddes: Fagen brought innovations, improvements to district Our Douglas County School District superintendent, Dr. Elizabeth Fagen, has been named the lone finalist in the school district in Humble, Texas.

When Dr. Fagen came to the Douglas County School District a short six years ago, the board of directors provided her with direction to provide a blueprint for universal choice, implement pay-forperformance for teachers, and find more meaningful ways to account for how we improve student learning.

Following this direction from the board, she has transformed our district into, perhaps, the finest in the country.

She has implemented numerous innovations that have significantly improved the quality of education in our district and also recognized and supported the most critical role of the classroom teacher.

Working within the requirements of SB 191’s reform of teacher evaluation, she has pioneered an evolving system of objective teacher evaluation paired with pay for performance as we directed, whereby teachers who are found to be soundly effective and highly effective are rewarded

by receiving the lion’s share of any pay raises available to our teachers.

As a result, Douglas County School District retains over 95 percent of all our teachers who are rated highly effective and over 89 percent Jim Geddes of our teachers who are rated effective.

GUEST There are two lower categories COLUMN of performance, partially effective and ineffective. None of the teachers rated ineffective chose to return to our district, and only 63 percent of the teachers rated partially effective are returning to our district.

Consequently, our district is able to improve, each year, the quality of our teaching staff, since we replace these low- and inadequate-performing teachers with bright, enthusiastic and highest

Wasden the right choice for commissioner Monica Wasden is the right choice for Douglas County moving forward. She is a community volunteer, a business leader and knows Douglas County, having served as board chair on the Douglas County Fair Foundation, the Public Safety Advisory Committee and the Women’s Crisis Center. She is not a career politician and someone who is truly running to ensure the county remains the best place to live, work, play and raise your children.

She has been endorsed by many elected officials in the area, not because she is an establishment insider, but because they have seen her work ethic, leadership skills and pragmatic nature. She has served as board treasurer for the chamber, owned and managed a construction finance company and is a current small

quality teachers eager to work in our innovative district, and who have applied to us from across the country. For vacant teaching positions, we choose from over 30,000 new applicants each year.

There are a number of additional innovations Elizabeth Fagen has brought us, such as a greater teacher and principal autonomy, including individual school curriculum discretion in concert with the districtwide “guaranteed and viable curriculum.” She has encouraged and supported schools that choose to engage their students in project-based, expeditionary or artful learning. There are exciting career-oriented high school projects such as the International Baccalaureate Program offered at some of our high schools, and innovations such as STEM, biotechnology and health science, and visual and performing arts academies at other high schools, such as Castle View High School.

Along with a “choice in education”oriented board of directors, she has championed strategic partnerships with charter schools in Douglas County that

business owner, so she understands finances and how important making sound, prudent fiscal decisions are for the families that call Douglas County home.

Monica has met with county departments, toured the county, attended water summits, meet with homeowners and elected officials to learn about the issues, challenges and opportunities. Douglas County is a great place and a vote for Monica Wasden is a vote to continue to make our county the top county in the state and nation.

Monica Wasden knows how important infrastructure, water resources, and managing growth is to our future. As Douglas County continues to grow, we need someone who understands the issues and will work cooperatively to help solve challenging and complex issues.

Join me in voting for Monica Wasden, Douglas County commissioner.

not only enhance educational options, but also efficiently addressed student population growth without increasing taxes.

All this exciting innovation and improvement in education quality is already paying off handsomely, despite the short six-year history of this effort. Our graduation rates have increased to 90 percent.

Not surprisingly, our high school students continue to perform exceptionally well on the ACT. In addition, participation on Advanced Placement tests is increasing. Our academic performance has improved to the point that the Colorado Department of Education has designated the district as “Accredited with Distinction” — the highest level of performance possible.

Many thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Fagen for her fine service to our district and congratulations on a fine career, a career we expect to see expanded and enhanced by her future endeavors.

“Pleasures of the Harbor.”

I don’t know what to make of this.

CNN’s Gene Seymour wrote, “After decades of rambling, raging, rocking and seemingly inexhaustible reinventing, the artist from Hibbing, Minnesota, born as Robert Zimmerman and known to us as Bob Dylan, is 75 years old, a walking diamond jubilee; still alive, still on the road, and coming soon to an arena or amphitheater near you to sing classic popular music.”

Only it’s not Dylan’s popular music.

It’s Frank Sinatra’s.

It makes some sense. Sinatra’s

best songs have the same kind of unsentimental melancholy.

There won’t be much of an uproar. Dylan doesn’t stimulate that kind of reaction any more, like he did when he went from acoustic to electric.

It’s simply another reinvention.

There’s a Dylan song (“Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”) that refers to an elderly man who has lost control.

“He built a fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes.”

Dylan hasn’t lost control. Frank Sinatra was actually a perfect choice.

I might think differently if he were singing Nancy Sinatra. Dylan will perform at Red Rocks on June 19.

Finding time for family

Working parents face challenges to spend time with children

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Any working parent can relate to Tiffany Haynes.

“It’s hard,” she said. “Balancing work and sports and all of that stuff. I feel like nine times out of 10 I’m just trying to make ends meet.”

Like millions of Americans, Haynes works full time while raising her family. She runs her own housecleaning service in Parker and has three children, all of whom are involved in various sports outside of school.

“I make time with my kids whenever I can,” she said, “but most of the time, that time is at sporting events.”

She recently got engaged, but Haynes has been a single working parent for nine years.

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, she’s among millions of mothers who support their families. In 2015, 70.8 percent of women in single-parent households worked full time.

It would seem that having two parents in the home would decrease the strain on schedules and allow more time for families to be together, but data indicate that isn’t the case.

In a 45-year study, the Pew Research Center found the number of families in which both parents work full time has increased from 31 percent to 46 percent between 1970 and 2015. Both parents work at least part time in 60.6 percent of all American families, according to whitehouse.gov.

Parents in the Pew study also reported that more time on the job and less time at

home takes a toll on their ability to have meaningful family time. Approximately 40 percent of working mothers reported they spend too little time with their children, and 50 percent of working fathers said the same.

Numbers indicate the problem is growing, but statistics don’t tell the whole story.

“It definitely is getting worse,” said Jasmyne Kettwick,

a family therapist in Parker who’s seen an increase in parents who say they are too busy to spend enough time with their children.

“People are working a lot harder to really get ahead.

It takes much more to buy a home, to pay off student loan debt … we are working harder and longer.”

The ‘Facebook Effect’ Other factors, like social media, contribute to the issue, Kettwick said.

The “Facebook Effect,” she said, comes into play when a parent sees peers posting images that portray a successful work life paired with an ideal family life, regardless of whether or not that image is real.

Kettwick says it’s important to remember that social media posts show only what the poster wants the world to see. But the effect can still be upsetting for a parent who struggles to balance work and family.

“It can bring them down if they see others achieving something they aren’t able to achieve,” Kettwick said, “if they see something on social media like Facebook that they would like to do, but they feel it’s unattainable because they are too strapped for money or time or energy.”

Haynes knows what Kettwick means.

“I work full time and I see these moms posting things,” she said.

“Part of me wants to say `What do these people do?’ How do they find time to make homemade cupcakes for their kid’s class when I barely have time to go to the grocery store and buy them for my kids’ classes?’ ” Another catalyst for stress among working parents is the idea that they have to be successful in every aspect of life. “The glorification of busy,” Kettwick said, leads many working parents to try too hard to have it all.

“There are so many things to get right,” Kettwick said. “You have to have a nice home that’s put together like all the homes you see on HGTV, you have to be able to provide meals for your family that are healthy and presentable, you have to be able to have a job where you can sustain a certain lifestyle, and you have to be able to get your kids to all their activities.”

Jennifer Winship doesn’t want to

Making family time a priority Like many of her clients, Kettwick says she does creative scheduling and utilizes her parents. Her husband, Andy, is out of state four days a week and their calendar forces them to plan the time they will spend together.

Making family time a priority is essential, Kettwick said, for parents to overcome the feeling that they just don’t have enough time to be with their children. And, she says, it’s something all families can do.

A family dinner, going bowling or having a game night can provide the time a family needs to bond and connect, but Kettwick says it needs to be planned in advance so family members can look forward to it instead of looking back on it as a missed opportunity.

“Create a couple of really strong goals for your family … something small to start with,” Kettwick said.

“Make it attainable, and actually schedule it in … You can also have it be something more general, like saying `these are the five things I want us to do this summer,’ and then make sure you fit them in as you go.”

Single-parent families like Haynes and her children face a tougher challenge to find family time, but Kettwick says quality is more important than quantity.

After a long workday many single parents feel drained. They may not have enough down time to help with homework or read with them, but finding one simple thing to build a routine around can make all the difference to children, Kettwick says.

“All kids crave having a routine,” she said. Finding one activity — setting the table, preparing dinner or even watching television together — can provide the “quality time piece” children and the parent can count on.

“It helps both of them know that this is something that will be done, each day,” she said. Kettwick says everyone’s idea of the perfect family routine or activity is different. What matters, she says is simply being together.

“Kids just want to spend time with their parents,” she said. “They don’t need it to be perfect.”

Haynes doesn’t need an expert to tell her that.

She says she rarely eats dinner with her children and they spend an average of 10 hours a week together, mostly on weekends, “going from one sporting event to the next.”

But she doesn’t complain.

“I don’t feel like we’re missing out on good family time,” she said.

“It’s just when you have working parents, this becomes your new normal.”

‘Relax isn’t an option’ Two families share their daily routines Audrey Beckman and her husband, Wade, each work full time and their children, 10-year-old Arika and 7-year-old Bear, participate in activities including soccer, swimming, baseball, band and fencing. “ ‘Relax’ isn’t an option,” she said.

Beckman leaves for work early each morning, so her husband feeds the children breakfast and gets them to school. But the family tries to have dinner together most nights.

Beckman says they live within

their means, eating in instead of frequenting restaurants, and saving up for extras instead of charging them to a credit card. While they would like to take a vacation “to someplace that doesn’t rhyme with ‘Dakota,’ ” Beckman says she accepts that they will have to wait, at least until the kids are grown.

Like many families, a lot of family time is spent at sporting events.

She feels like she and her husband do “pretty well” at being available for their children, but Beckman says the couple relies on friends and other neighborhood parents to fill in gaps in their family schedule.

“We’ve discovered that it really takes a village to raise kids,” she

said.

Erin Jones and her husband, Adam, also have a village of family and friends to support them. Adam travels frequently, leaving Erin to hold down the fort with her 2-yearold son, Jack, during the day. She usually works evenings after the children are in bed.

A marketing specialist, Jones says she’s grateful she can work from home, but ends up working a lot of late nights and weekends.

She schedules her workload around the time she’s able to spend with her children, and she calls on her parents and friends for child care when she needs to catch up.

“There’s never a dull moment,” Jones said.

BUSINESS

Family

have it all. She just wants 20 minutes with her sons.

Winship and her husband, Eric, share custody of her two sons, Brennan, 16, and Jakeb, 11, with her ex-husband. The alternating weeks that the boys spend with their father give her and Eric time to connect. But on the weeks the boys are with them in their Parker home, things can get hectic.

Eric works 40 hours a week and Jennifer works between 40 and 50.

Jakeb is involved in a computer club and swimming six days a week and Brennan is on a robotics team, plays football and just landed a student internship at Lockheed Martin.

“We try to do dinner together — that is the time we come around and ask `How was your day?’ and find out what’s going on the next day,” Jennifer said. “It’s kind of our time to regroup. Even if it’s only 20 minutes, we try to figure that out.”

Despite family dinner being a priority, Eric and Jennifer say they still have “FFYN” or “fend-foryourself-night” about once a week, when schedules and fatigue dictate an a la carte menu.

Jennifer and Eric say their family doesn’t compare their situation to others on social media. They may not have the ideal life Kettwick says many families strive for, but they’re happy with the one they have.

“This is life,” Jennifer said with a shrug. “As a parent, I accept the fact that for the next however many years I have with them, I’m going to be tired, and I’m OK with that. It is what it is and when you reach levels of acceptance in life and you realize that this is just part of it, it’s not such a burden.”

Don’t forget the music for summer fun

Clarke Reader

LINER NOTES

For me, no other season goes with music like summer does.

In Colorado, summer is peak concert season — hiking up Red Rocks to see world-class performers or finding your favorite local band playing on a local patio.

All the pool parties, backyard barbecues and evening block parties call for tunes blasting out of

a boom box.

Summer is also when Americans take to the road, and the right music makes a long road trip a more transporting experience.

To help give your summer the best soundtrack possible, here are some album recommendations for various summertime scenarios. The first four picks are for the day and latter four for night, so you should be covered ‘round the clock.

Backyard barbecues — Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment — “Surf” One of the best parts about summer is spending time outside with friends and family, and if you can add food to the mix, what could be better?

Chicago’s Donnie Trumpet brings jazz, funk, R&B and hip-hop together in one place, and the result is pure sonic sunshine.

“Surf” is the album I play when I want to be happy. It captures in audio form what it feels like to laugh with your friends and shrug off the cares of the world for a little while.

In short, it’s a summer afternoon.

Roadtripping — Bob Seger — “Greatest Hits” With that gravelly voice and Detroit rock sound, Bob Seger’s music was made for the open road. Since travelers take to the roads en masse in the summer, that means Seger

should be playing in every car as they hit the highway.

My parents took my brother and I camping in the mountains a couple times every summer growing up, and Seger’s music was in consistent rotation during those trips.

Songs like “Against the Wind” and “Like A Rock” are perfect matches for tires spinning and the country passing by the window.

Pool day — Stan Getz and João Gilberto — “Getz/Gilberto” One of the most popular jazz albums of all time, saxophonist Stan Getz joined Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto and songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim to make music so sun-drenched it should come with sunscreen.

Standards like “The Girl from Ipanema” are quintessential layout music, and the whole album is smooth and relaxing. It hits just the right notes for a day on the beach at Bear Creek Lake or your apartment complex pool.

Stuck in traffic — The Hold Steady — “Boys and Girls in America” Summer can’t be all fun and games.

Most of us have to work, and that means enduring some kind of commute in the baking heat while enviously watching kids have fun.

The right music can save any situation, and The Hold Steady’s mix of bar rock and Bruce Springsteen-style anthems makes the mundane seem epic. Even something as aggravating as traffic.

Songs like “Stuck Between Stations” will have you raising your fists in jubilation, and “Southtown Girls” is a great singalong for hollering out your window. Trust me, I’ve done it.

Block party — Carly Rae Jepsen — “E•MO•TION” Summer nights are the best part of the season — it cools down enough so gathering outside isn’t an invitation to sunstroke, and you have summer stars to watch.

That feeling of freedom, of warmth and friendship that accompanies those great

in one place, and wrings the romance out of every backyard observation. It turns every house into a story.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK

City parties — Kanye West — “Graduation” Certain music sounds better surrounded by city lights and the incessant hubbub of chatter — the kind of music you can play going down the 16th Street Mall on a busy Saturday night to keep you moving.

Kanye West’s third album, “Graduation,” is his sleekest work and tailormade for blaring out of car windows in time with the pulsation of neon lights. It features party anthems like “Good Life” and “Stronger” as well as club bangers like “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Barry Bonds.” Electricity courses through this music, and it’ll run through you as well.

Selection: Tegan and Sara’s “Love You to Death,” released on Warner Brothers.

Review: The brightest and most layered pop album of the year thus far, sisters Tegan and Sara Quin deliver wry social discourse over wildly danceable beats. All the songs are sharply written meditations on the messiness of adult relationships, and the whole album flies by at just around 31 minutes. You’ll want to hit play again as soon as it ends.

Favorite song: “Boyfriend” Most romantic lyrics: “Now I wanna write a love song Even though you never ever ask me for one Write you a letter, send sweet poems Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong.”

-from “U-turn”

summer block parties, is joyously encapsulated in Carly Rae Jepsen’s “E•MO•TION.” The album captures everything great about pop — danceable rhythms, singalong-ready choruses and repeatability. Her music sounds great coming from a boom box and provides the perfect background tunes. You may just find yourself dancing to it.

Evening at home — Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band — “The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” Despite how much we may want it to be otherwise, every summer night can’t be full of action and activity. Sometimes you’re just stuck at home, trying to stay cool and pass the time.

The Boss understands this better than most, and before he decided to escape the city on “Born to Run,” he made “The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.” The album brims with stories about people stuck

In the car with friends — Japandroids — “Celebration Rock” If there’s a theme running through my selections, it’s that most of this music goes with spending time with friends. And that’s fitting, because summer, perhaps more than any other season, encourages spending time with others.

Japandroids’ seminal “Celebration Rock” is the thunderous, epic soundtrack for car rides with friends. The kinds of rides full of memories of past adventures, plans for futures ones, and that honesty you can only have with the people who know you best.

“Remember saying things like ‘we’ll sleep when we’re dead’/And thinking this feeling was never gonna end,” asks singer Brian King in the song “Younger Us.” Feelings like this are the ones we chase all summer long — and catch all too briefly.

But there’s always next summer.

Fashion show gives arts center a boost Lone Tree facility has support of active philanthropic guild

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since the Lone Tree Arts Center opened, it has been strengthened by an active Lone Tree Arts Center Guild, composed of a group of philanthropists interested in supporting the center “with ongoing fun and social opportunities designed to raise funds and build awareness,” according to the group’s mission statement.

Among those events has been an annual fashion show.

On June 23, from 6 to 9 p.m., members and guests will enjoy “Cocktails and Couture”: spring/ summer fashions provided by Rosey’s by Diane, a luxury boutique for women at the Park Meadows

mall. Cocktails and appetizers are included in the ticket price, as is a gift bag and chance to win door prizes. Deadline for ticket purchase is June 17.

The event will be in the Lone Tree Arts Center Event Hall, 10075 Commons St. Doug Tisdale, executive vice president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and former mayor of Cherry Hills Village, will emcee the event and attendees will enjoy current fashions for women by Rosey’s by Diane.

The shop has promised “clothing that is soft to the touch, sophisticated, indulgent and perfect for warm summer days and chic city nights.”

Rosey’s by Diane lists a large number of brands from the U.S., France, Canada, Spain, Brazil and India. Among them: the American company Luna Luz, which has soft,

travel-friendly garments in colorful, interesting fabrics — some are “feather-dyed,” which means individually hand-sprayed and each one different.

Last Tango’s website shows tops, street-length and floor-length dresses in soft fabrics, while Surrealist offers separates: bottoms, tops, tunics, dresses and jackets that might create a number of different outfits and combinations. Anu, from India, offers brightly colored full skirts and fitted tops that would be fun for a party.

The store prides itself on excellent customer service, so a customer might be tall, short, thin or a bit rounder and still find a flattering outfit. Or two!

The Park Meadows store address is 8401 S. Park Meadows Center Drive (inside near Crate and Barrel).

Zoo event to attract animal enthusiasts Great food, entertainment on agenda for big fundraiser

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On June 16, the approximately 4,000 furry, feathered, scaly and finned residents of the Denver Zoo will host a crowd of well-dressed visitors, who have purchased tickets to “Do at the Zoo” to help ensure that the aforementioned residents continue to have a well-stocked larder of special dietary needs throughout the year: more than 18,000 pounds a week, according to zoo public relations manager Sean Andersen-Vie. Examples: produce alone — 4,400 pounds a week — as much as possible sourced locally; commercial pellets and bagged feed — 2,000 pounds a week; fish, meat, miscellaneous — 2,800 pounds; hay — 9,000 pounds (fluctuates seasonally). Special bamboo for the red pandas is grown and purchased; several types of bugs are stocked; krill, a tiny crustacean, gives the flamingos their beautiful color — and probably the weirdest menu item is bovine blood for the vampire bats, zoo nutritionist Jennifer Parsons said. Elephants alone eat 400 pounds of grass hay a day and the great apes receive 80 pounds of green. The Avian Propagation Center and Bird World creatures eat about 4,000 mealworms a day, while seals and sea lions go through 110 pounds of fish and polar bears munch on another 20 pounds.

Guests will benefit from the expertise of more than 60 restaurant chefs, while the needs of the assorted critters are planned and provided by Parsons, the special zoo nutritionist, and the team of caretakers, who are “really in tune” with each individual. Parsons is in a relatively new field and is one of only about 30 in the U.S., she said. Her Denver position is new. She studied animal science and zoology, she said, with a master’s degree necessary.

She previously worked at the San

DO AT THE ZOO Guests, 21 and older, will flock to the Denver Zoo on June 16 (7-10 p.m.) to graze on exotic international and American dishes from more than 60 Denver restaurants, paired with favorite drinks. Perhaps they may visit their favorite critters and will join with others to enjoy musical entertainment at four locations by the Gin Doctors, Dragondeer, Brightenstar and Colorado Southern.

Menu offerings vary widely — from Baur’s sausage-stuffed calamari and steamed claws and Maggiano’s mini Italian meatballs; Osteria Marco’s basil pesto foccacia bites; Linger’s Colorado lamb sliders and banana pudding with salted caramel sauce from Helliemae’s Handcrafted Caramels (plus many other treats for that sweet tooth). Many area brewers and a cider maker will be on hand to slake thirst.

Tickets cost $175 and are available by calling the zoo at 720-337-1460 or online at denverzoo.org. There will be $10 valet parking or guests may find their own free parking. We’ll hope for one of those perfect, mellow summer evenings!

Diego Zoo, which is about twice the size of Denver’s. About 25 zoos have full-time nutritionists, she said, and she compares notes with her colleagues regularly, as well as employees at zoos in the U.K., Berlin and Australia. There are annual conferences, which help, she said. Sometimes, a new-to-the-collection species arrives on the scene and she consults with a specialist who has cared for it, as she does when animals are transferred in from another

zoo, and may need transitional treatment, even though the zoo has a feeding program in place for that particular species.

Each individual has careful records kept about its needs and likes and dislikes.

Animals’ needs change seasonally, Parsons said, including special needs when pregnant and nursing babies — and as they age. The aim when possible is to encourage animals to forage for their food as they might in the wild. Some will be

supplied with fresh tree limbs to munch on and parents teach their young what to do in general. “We need to stimulate their minds. You don’t see them pacing.”

She makes daily morning rounds with caretakers and veterinarians — “much as a dietiTian would in a hospital” to check on her charges. Her most difficult challenge is to keep a constant supply of fresh vegetation and she is trying to source more locally.

Signage on animal cages and enclosures tell a bit about what each specimen eats, Parsons said. This topic is discussed in presentations for zoo visitors and the Nutrition Department is included in educational tours.

“And we have overnight camps for kids,” she added.

Local standouts take field for national team U.S. women’s soccer squad faces Japan in Commerce City

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mallory Pugh and Lindsey Horan, two local soccer standouts, highlighted the match — an exhibition game known as a friendly — between the national teams of the United States and Japan on June 4 before a sellout crowd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

Horan, a Golden High School graduate and a second-half substitute, scored in the 89th minute as the U.S. overcame a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead. But, what appeared to be a comeback victory turned into a 3-3 tie against a disciplined, pressing, ballcontrol Japanese team.

Japan, competing with only 10 players because captain Japanese captain Yuki Ogimi was ejected for a second yellow card, scored in stoppage time on a U.S. defensive breakdown to gain the tie.

“It was awesome,” said Horan, who is nursing a hip injury but was OK to be among the 18 players on the roster. “You want to come into the game and impact it. For the team it was a great goal but in the grand scheme of things, we tied.”

Pugh, who graduated May 18 from Mountain Vista high school, proved to be an 18-year-old that can compete with some of the world’s best players.

She started and played the entire game.

Pugh took a chip from Crystal Dunn, beat a Japanese defender, and then with good vision, found Alex Morgan with a quick pass. Morgan scored the first USA goal in the 27th minute and Pugh gained her team-leading sixth assist for the national team in 2016.

In the 84th minute, Pugh was pulled down while chasing a loose ball, which set up a free kick. Morgan scored her second goal of the game to tie the score at 2-2.

After an assist to teammate Alex Morgan, Mallory Pugh celebrates the first United States goal of the game. At almost 30 minutes into the first half, Pugh passed to Morgan and Morgan hit the shot, putting the U.S. at a deficit of only one goal. This was Pugh’s sixth assist this season. Photo by Conner Davis “It was amazing,” Pugh said. “Knowing that we were playing a good opponent here and with my teammates around me and my friends and family was really cool.”

Japan and the U.S. were finalists in the past two World Cups and the 2012 Olympics.

Japan won the 2011 World Cup, while the U.S. claimed the 2012 Olympic and 2015 World Cup championships.

That was part of the reason that the match sold out in a little more than 10 minutes and 18,572 fans witnessed the game, cheering almost every time the U.S. made a rush into the offensive zone.

Morgan was amazed with Pugh and the crowd.

“I feel like Mal is always Mal, the same every day,”

Morgan said. “She never looks nervous to me. She is always true to herself. I love that part of Mal. She always looks like she has a lot of confidence when she takes on other players.

“I don’t know if we have ever sold out a game (as) quickly as we did with this game. The stadium was awesome and helped us get through that 2-0 deficit. I have to give credit to the fans.”

Pugh and Horan were two of three Colorado youth players on the 24-player USA team that must be reduced to 18 for the Olympics, which begin Aug. 3 in Rio de Janeiro. With only 18 players allowed to suit up for the June 2 game, Valor Christian graduate and de-

fender Jaelene Hinkle was one of the six who did not play.

Here is a look at the three Colorado players.

Jaelene Hinkle Hinkle, 23, is a 2010 graduate of Valor Christian. She played youth soccer for Colorado Real, and has been part of the U.S. National program for the past six years. She played at Texas Tech and has been playing professional soccer for the Hinkle Western New York Flash. She made her debut on the U.S. Women’s National Team last October.

She is proud to be representing Colorado on a national platform.

“Two clubs come to mine: Real Colorado and Rush Colorado soccer,” she said. “Even when I was younger, those were two big soccer clubs and the directors of both soccer clubs have really done a lot taking Colorado soccer to the next level, getting kids at a young age to start playing so that there is more time to develop and make them better soccer players.

“It’s a really big step in the right direction. It says a lot about Colorado’s direction, dedication and commitment to soccer and developing world-class players.”

Valor coach says goodbye after winning baseball title It’s nice to go out on top like Peyton Manning or John Elway after Super Bowl wins.

While he’s not retiring, Valor Christian baseball coach Keith Wahl is leaving on top.

Two days after his team won the Class 4A state baseball championship, Wahl announced he was resigning.

Wahl told his team the morning of May 31 and later that day Valor Christian issued a news release stating that Wahl had accepted a job as athletic director at Briarwood Christian, a K-12 school in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I want to thank everyone at Valor for my time over the past nine years,” Wahl said in the statement.

Wahl was also an assistant athletic director at Valor. He has been at Valor since the school opened in 2007 and he leaves after compiling a 127-61 record with

six league baseball championships and one state title.

“We are very thankful for the years of coaching, teaching and ministry that coach Wahl has given to our students at Valor Christian,” said Athletic Director Jim Benton Jamie Heiner in the same statement. “He OVERTIME has built a strong foundation for future success in the baseball program and we look forward to building on that foundation in the coming years.”

New Mountain Vista AD Shawn Terry is the new athletic direc-

tor at Mountain Vista.

Terry was the AD at Northridge High School in Greeley last year and takes over at Vista for Pat McCabe.

Before assuming duties at Northridge, Terry was activities director at William Chrisman in Independence, Missouri, and was the AD/assistant principal at Leavenworth High School in Kansas.

Lakewood resident in top 10 Lakewood resident Doug Wherry, who owns and operates Jake’s Academy junior elite golf school at the Lone Tree Golf Club, finished tied for sixth in the Colorado Senior Open June 1-3 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club.

Wherry, the 1981 state golf champion at Cherry Creek High School, had rounds of 69, 74 and 70 to finish with a 2-under par 211 total to win $1,700.

During the three rounds, the former All-American at Texas-El Paso had 12 birdies, 33 pars and nine bogeys. Four of the bogeys came during his 2-over-par second round.

Help wanted sign at Arapahoe Arapahoe is looking for a new baseball coach.

Luke Muller, an Arapahoe graduate, told athletic director Steve Sisler that the 2016 season would be his last as Warriors head coach because he wanted to spend more time with his family.

In the past nine seasons, Arapahoe has gone 100-81 under Muller, 36.

Mountain Vista lacrosse player honored Munro takes award for all-around skills

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Colin Munro makes highlight-reel plays with his behindthe-back goals and passes, but his offensive skills aren’t only things that make him the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

“He’s worked hard at putting that skill into his repertoire,” his dad and Mountain Vista coach Jamie Munro responded when asked about his son’s behindthe-back skill. “In lacrosse, most people don’t do that. It would be like in hockey if you switched hands all the time instead of using your backhand. It takes time to learn the skill and the confidence to use it.

“Colin gets the notoriety for scoring goals, but for a nonfaceoff guy he was one of the leaders in ground balls on the team and he also played a lot on defense. He was one of our set defensive guys, and as an offensive player he is just a good versatile player that can do things in a lot of different ways.”

practicing on a wooden board in his backyard as a youngster, was switched to a midfield position from attack this season, but that didn’t affect his offensive contributions.

“The nice thing about it (behind-the-back passes and shots) is you can throw it a little later to a spot and kind of let people run after it,” explained Colin. “It’s hard to guard because a lot of people don’t see it coming.”

Munro, a junior who has committed to play lacrosse at North Carolina, led the Douglas County League with 54 goals and 84 points. He was second among Class 5A players in goals and third with points for Mountain Vista, which finished the season 18-2 after a 5A semifinal playoff upset loss to Arapahoe.

“It was a really fun season but a little disappointing finish for us,” said Colin, who will again play box lacrosse most of the summer in British Columbia.

“I would say I like attack better but the team needed me to play some defense, and I love playing defense because I love being out there. It was pretty fun to be able to play both and be able to shoot.

“Box lacrosse is a tremendous help with my shooting, catching and finishing and toughness. It goes a long ways to make me a better field player.”

Creek sophomore shows toughness Micha Handler honored as Girls Tennis Player of Year

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek sophomore Micha Handler stood at the back fence, her back turned away from court in order to focus during the first set of the No. 2 singles final of the Girls State Tennis Championship on May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

Handler worked on improving her mental game this season, and that helped her go undefeated in 25 matches. She won the state’s No. 2 singles championship and has been named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year.

“I was just trying to take it slow,” Handler explained about the time she needed to focus during the first set.

“It was very mental in the first part of the set and I was just trying to slow up.”

Handler beat Poudre’s Alessia Pabiano, 6-1, 6-1 to finish the season without losing a set including in the regionals, state tournament and a Chattanooga, Tennessee, college-format tournament.

“I didn’t lose a set this season but I had some close matches,” she said noting that a 6-4, 6-4 win over Air Academy’s Cori Campbell in the Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was her toughest of the season.

“The match at the Chey-

Cherry Creek sophomore Micha Handler won the state No. 2 singles title, didn’t lose a set in 25 matches this season and earned Colorado Community Media South Metro Player of the Year honors. Photo by Jim Benton enne Mountain Invitational was 4 and 4. It was windy and we had some real long points but I pulled it out.”

Handler, who played No. 1 doubles for the Bruins last season and was third in the state meet, was mentally ready for this season.

“I improved not only my game but mentally,” said Handler. “The team has helped me. It’s so fun having everybody cheering for each other. That’s so different from last year. Our team feels stronger even though we didn’t win the state championship.

“The mental part is really important, especially being a singles player, because it is all on yourself.

I played doubles last year and sometimes you can rely on your partner. For

singles it’s all you. Luckily this season I was pretty strong mentally. If I wasn’t as strong mentally I don’t think I would have won.”

Creek coach Chris Jacob points toward Handler’s work ethic as part of the reason for her success.

“She had an amazing season,” said Jacob. “She’s a hard worker. She pushes herself in practice and makes the people around her better too. She’s determined. She grinds out every point. She’s going to get her racket on everything.

“Then, she’s going to make things happen too.

She can dictate the point really well. She hits with a lot of pace and figures a shot ahead and makes sure she is in charge of the point.”

Julie Mackin is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year. File photo

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Honors keep piling up for Castle View soccer player Julie Mackin.

She was tabbed as the Continental League Player of the Year.

Gatorade named her as the Colorado Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

And, Colorado Community Media has selected Mackin as the South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Mackin, a 5-foot-4 senior who will play next season at Clemson University, helped the Sabercats compile a 10-7-0 record and advance into the Class 5A state playoffs.

“Julie Mackin’s pace and skill while on the dribble is exceptional,” said Rock Canyon coach Mat Henbest. “She is the reason for nearly all of the Sabercats’ success.”

Mackin, who maintained a 3.68 grade point average, played in 13 games for Castle View as a forward and scored 14 goals and had four assists for 33 points or an average of 2.5 points per game.

She wound up her high

school career with 50 goals and 23 assists while splitting her time with U.S. national soccer teams and track. She was the two-time defending Continental League long jump champion.

Mackin was a member of the Under 18 United States Women’s National team that participated during March in Spain’s La Manga Tournament. She was a defender on the national team which confirms her versatility.

“Julie was a key player in our offense,” White said. “She was one of the leading scorers in the Continental League. The big thing about Julie is she is a total game changer.

“She gets on the field and she can control the pace of the game. She’s so fast she can beat players on the run. She is tenacious, competitive and she was also one of the most coachable kids.”

Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League in January. She was called up to the national team late in 2015.

“It was probably one of the most difficult things I’ve done,” Horan said about signing a pro contract to play in Paris at a young age. “Playing overseas, playing in a new culture, and in the beginning just being away from home, were very difficult for me.

“It just game me the experience at playing at a high level, being in a new country and learning things on my own.

That was an experience you couldn’t get anywhere else. Going to college is new and different but going overseas was a whole new world. Then on the soccer side you are playing with so many international players and just learning from them and learning from all their experience gave me a lot.”

Horan knows it will be tough to make

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Heritage High School senior Joanna Kempton focused on golf this spring and proved that paying attention to one sport in the spring can be beneficial.

Kempton divided her time and efforts in three previous years between golf and tennis, but this spring decided to abandon tennis.

“This was the first year she focused solid on golf; as you could tell by her scores, she wasn’t splitting time between golf and tennis,” said Eagles coach Matt Kennan. “She shot between 71 and 79 in all the tournaments.”

Kempton was named the Colorado Community Media Girls Golfer of the Year, and concentrating on one sport was an advantage that was noted when she added up strokes on the scorecard.

“It helped me out a lot because I got to work in practice a lot more,” said Kempton. “It was a lot less stressful for me. I wanted to

the 18-player team for the Rio Olympics.

“Everyone here is competing for a spot and picking the roster will be semi soon,” she said. “Anytime I was training with Rush, my goal was to make the national team. Everything I did was to fulfill that dream I had.”

Mallory Pugh Pugh, 18, elected not to play for Mountain Vista this spring and instead trained with the Real U16 boys Academy team.

However, she was on the roster, sat on the Vista bench and supported the team. The Golden Eagles played in the state chamPugh pionship game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on May 18, falling 2-1 to Grandview. Pugh returned and got

become consistent all year. I wanted to practice it all but I spend more time on my short game.”

Kempton was the medalist at the Class 5A Northern Kempton Regional qualifying tournament May 9 when she fired a 1-underpar 71 at the Ptarmigan Golf and Country Club.

“That was my best round of the season,” she recalled. “I played pretty well. Everything was kind of working for me. I wasn’t thinking too much on what I was doing. I was just hitting the greens and I was making my putts.”

Kempton was the top finisher among South Metro golfers at the 5A state tournament, which was held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora.

She had back-to-back rounds of 79 and finished ninth with a 158 total.

“I know I probably could have done better,” said Kempton, who will be attending Colorado State University in the fall but won’t play golf. “My goal was to make the top 10. I did that and was pretty happy.”

to play at the venue with the U.S. Women’s National Team with a chance to make the Olympic roster.

“I didn’t play in the state championship and it was weird sitting on the sidelines,” she said. “Being here with the National Team had an impact and being in my hometown was special.

“It was tough sitting on the sidelines for high school games. Sitting on the sidelines of any game is tough but in the back of my mind I was thinking about getting better and the best environment for me was with the boys academy team. That’s what I did to prepare me.”

Pugh took a step toward earning a spot on the Olympic team with a solid game against Japan on June 2.

“I always thought my freshman year about the 2016 Olympics,” she said. “I wondered if I could ever make that, I’m still wondering and driving to do that.”

Cycling festival provides miles of fun Elephant Rock event brings out participants of all ages, skill levels

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival ushers in the cycling season in Colorado every June.

There were an estimated 6,000 participants June 5 for the 29th annual Elephant Rock that started and finished at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock.

Riders were on mountain and road bikes, recumbent and tandem bikes and other contraptions. Partakers of all ages could choose from one of five courses depending on their abilities.

Many participants rode on either the 100-mile Century course or the 62-mile Metric Century over the rolling hills and countryside. There was also a 40-mile road course, a 27-mile gravel course and the 8-mile family course.

“Since it started, it has essentially been sort of the every-man’s ride, so we have courses for everybody,” said Scot Harris, who has been the event director for all 29 years. “It’s always been kind of the kickoff to the season.

“This year’s participation is almost identical to last year, which is going to be just a hair shy of 6,000, but we haven’t got the actual numbers of registrants from today (June 5). Our record year was in the mid-7,000s. It flattened out a little in the past five years but it is still the largest cycling event in the Rocky Mountain region. Our first year was 1,200 participants so it’s grown steadily.”

Paula Dutenhoeffer, a Castle Rock resident and Douglas County High School graduate, toured the family course with her husband Troy and children. She also drew a lot of attention because she was riding an Elliptigo bike, which combines the motion of an

“We got comments the whole course,” Troy Dutenhoeffer said. “Kids dragging behind would go `Wow, what

was that?’ And then their dad was going, `We’ve got to get mom one of those.’ ” Plantar fasciitis forced Paula Dutenhoeffer to get an Elliptigo.

“I used to run and I ended up with

plantar fasciitis,” she said. “I’ve had it for two years now and running is done for me. The Elliptigo still gives me that feeling of running, but with my aching feet it will let me keep up with my kids on their bikes. It’s kind of a nice hybrid for me.”

Tom Danielson, a Longmont resident and Cinch Cycling owner who once finished eighth overall in the Tour de France, rode the 100-mile course at the Elephant Rock and said he has seen a change in cycling over the past few years.

“The sport over the last years has grown a lot, but it is changing,” Danielson said. “Initially, it grew a lot in the racing and the race community and then there was this shift where it wasn’t the racers buying the bikes and participating in cycling. It ended up being that working person who has a job or owns a business or is a pretty high-level professional that is participating.

“You really see it here at the Elephant Rock, where it’s 1,000 times bigger than the general race, but the cool thing is the mentality is the same. People love the challenge. You need a start line and finish line and then a goal in between it, and that’s what these people love. You have to be content with yourself and the challenge.”

Danielson said Elephant Rock is an event that makes cycling special.

“Whether it’s the time or a position or overall performance, you are always a champion when you cross the finish line, and that part of the sport is what makes cycling special,” he said.

Harris saw a new generation, along with longtime participants, in this year’s Elephant Rock.

“We probably have 2,000 people ride the 100-mile course, so it’s a real variety of riders,” he said. “We have people that rode that first year that have kids and now have been back on their bikes and jump in after 20 years. And we have people that have ridden every single one.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 6, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before you consider which to choose.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin paying off by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there, waiting for you to find them.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise.

Instead, let things work themselves out at their own pace.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity in order to avoid raising resentment in the workplace.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

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!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect to hear good news about a loved one. Also, be prepared for some changes in several family relationships that could develop from this lucky turn of events.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprises are expected to accompany a number of changes that will continue through part of next week. At least one could involve a romantic situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to have faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace goal that suddenly seems out of reach is no problem for the sure-footed Goat, who moves steadily forward despite any obstacles placed in his or her way.
