Public provides input on hospital proposal SCL Health hosted an open house to receive feedback, educate residents on 25-acre campus

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SCL Health wants to build a 25-acre hospital in Lone Tree, and officials said it was the health care company’s only choice for a south metro location.

“There’s not a lot of 30-acre parcels left that don’t have competitive restrictions on them,” said Steve Chyung, senior vice president of SCL Health.

“This is one of the last locations that work.”

SCL Health would be Lone Tree’s second major hospital campus if plans for the campus are approved by council in November. Many real estate agreements restrict a competing business or service to build within a given radius. SCL Health would be about two miles from Sky Ridge Medical Center if it built on the property at the confluence of Yosemite Street, Park Meadows Drive and C-470.

SCL Health and City of Lone Tree officials hosted an open house Sept.

11 at the Lone Tree Hub to respond to concerns about the medical campus the health care provider is proposing to build.

A City of Lone Tree official answers questions about the proposed plan for a 25 acre hospital campus to build near C-470 and Park Meadows Drive.

NICK PUCKETT SCL Health submitted a rezoning application to the city to begin the stages of developing a medical campus.

Nikki Sloup, spokesperson for SCL Health, said at the end of 2018, 19,000 people in the south metro region who use SCL Health for general health care attended its facilities in Broomfield and downtown Denver. SCL Health wants to rezone the property from its current Commercial Subzone C-3 zoning to Planned Development.

“We don’t just build for the sake of building,” Sloup said. “We want to make sure we’re meeting people where they are.”

Planned Development allows for developments with modified regulations, such as buildings that require a use by special review permit.

SCL Health set up different diagrams around the Hub demonstrating anticipated traffic flow and preliminary layout of the campus. The rezoning application SCL Health submitted to the city June 25 called for a sixstory, 25-acre hospital with about 200 beds. In comparison, Sky Ridge Medical Center, a HealthOne campus near I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway, takes up 57 acres and has 346 beds.

“We asked (SCL Health) to hold this…because it is a big project and we wanted them to provide an opportunity for people to provide comments,” said Hans Friedel, the city’s senior planner.

The initial SCL Health proposal states the campus would begin as a Level III trauma center, meaning it will have emergency operations and capabilities for surgery and intensive care, with helicopter service. The rezoning application requests a use by special review permit to extend the current 60-foot height allowance to 95 feet.

Some residents of Lone Tree and nearby Acres Green expressed concerns about the potential for increased

traffic, a perceived lack of need for another hospital and how the new facility would fit with the surrounding character. Previous complaints stemmed mainly from Acres Green residents, who live closer to the proposed location than any Lone Tree resident.

“We’re 15,000 people and look at the hospital we have now,” said Paul Squyer, a 22-year resident. “Why do we need a second hospital?”

“It’s just the wrong spot,” one resident said to SCL Health and city officials. “Too big a scale for too small a postage stamp.”

City officials required SCL Health to complete a traffic impact study along with the application. Many attendees of the open house were concerned about the prospect of enhanced traffic.

An additional 8,600 vehicles per day are expected to use Park Meadows Drive leading to the hospital site.

About 20,000 vehicles per day frequent the area, according to an October 2018 count by the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

An engineer who worked on the study said the traffic impact overall would be less than the traffic impact if the area were developed for retail or restaurant use currently allowed in the commercial zoning.

The Lone Tree and Acres Green residents were able to submit comments or questions to SCL Health and the city at the open house. SCL Health is accepting feedback on the initial proposal through Sept. 21.

The planning commission meeting discussing the proposal is Oct. 8. The public hearing for the proposal is scheduled for the Nov. 5 city council meeting. Council could vote to approve or reject the proposal Nov. 19.

Committee to recall Douglas County sheriff in no rush Organizer says group will wait for right moment to begin petitioning

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been seven months since the Committee to Recall Tony Spurlock was formed as a response to the Douglas County sheriff ’s support of Colorado’s red flag law, and still, petitioning has not begun.

That’s because the committee has been notified of new information regarding the sheriff, recall organizer Robert Wareham said.

“So we are independently verifying some additional allegations that have been brought forward,” said Wareham, an attorney from Highlands Ranch. “We will take whatever time is necessary to do that.”

While the committee doesn’t have any deadlines for beginning the petition, once it starts, the committee must gather 35,000 valid signatures in 60 days. If successful, a special election would be called asking voters if they’d like to see Spurlock recalled from office.

“And that’s why we want to make sure that all of our ducks are in a row before we pull that trigger of submitting the (petition) language,” Ware-

ham said.

Spurlock is “not worried at all” about the recall committee, he said in an interview. He believes the entire effort is politically and personally driven and not in the best interest of the county, he said.

The recall effort began as a response to Spurlock’s support of the Extreme Risk Protection Order bill, commonly known as a red flag law. The measure was passed in the spring by the Democratcontrolled state Legislature in the face of strong opposition from many Republican lawmakers and gun-rights advocates.

Under the law, which Spurlock will be enacted in January 2020, household members or law enforcement can petition a judge to confiscate guns from an individual who they argue poses a “significant risk” to themselves or others. If the judge agrees, the guns could be confiscated for up to 364 days.

Now, the committee has expanded its grievances about the Republican sheriff to his overall job performance and administration, Wareham said.

The county’s board of commissioners has confirmed that on Aug. 29, it received an eight-page anonymous letter on allegations within the sheriff ’s office, spokeswoman Wendy Holmes said. The county has declined

to release the letter to the public because it was marked by the sender as confidential and includes information about personnel, she said.

The letter includes various accusations about misconduct in the sheriff ’s office, according to a source familiar with the letter.

Wareham said he did not write the letter and does not know who did.

”Government officials do not have the right to knock on your door without serious due process” he said. ”It’s got abuse written all over it.”

The recall committee has used donations to pay for T-shirts, signs and a website. More than $1,300 has gone to a campaign finance management group called Campaign Integrity Watchdog.

Funding the effort So far, the committee has raised nearly $11,000 and spent more than $5,000 according to public financial reports.

Of the 16 contributors, 12 are Douglas County residents. The remaining contributors are from Arizona, Denver County, Pueblo County and Arapahoe County.

The largest contribution by far came from a Castle Rock construction company called Liberty Infrastructure LLC. In April, Frank Krekeler, the company’s founder, donated $10,000 of company funds to the recall effort. ”I don’t think we can have a sheriff around that doesn’t uphold his consitutional oath,” Krekeler said.

Krekeler, who said he has voted for Spurlock in the past, didn’t know much about the sheriff until the red flag law came up, he said. While many people think of the law as a Second Amendment issue, he sees it as more of a Fourth Amendment issue.

‘Real concerns’ Another person who donated to the committee because of worries about potential abuses of the law is Castle Rock Councilmember George Teal. ”I made the contribution because I do have real concerns about Sheriff Spurlock backing the red flag law,” Teal said. “Tony betrayed the Republican Party who nominated him.”

In March, Teal donated $100 to the recall effort.

Castle Rock has begun looking into ways officials can direct police regarding the law, including requiring a higher burden of proof, Teal said. ”I would like to see a burden of proof that approaches just cause, which is the burden of proof we expect of our police officers to conduct themselves at all times,” Teal said.

He also supports residents of the town considering signing the recall petition, he said.

Home Equity Loans for Seniors—A Safe Option

by Kathy Muni “I called to ask questions about accessing the equity in my home to help cover monthly expenses, but my son was against it. He doesn’t live with me or pay my bills, he just thought it was a bad idea. He spoke with my loan officer, who was able to meet all of his objections. I am so glad I didn’t stop when my son said he didn’t like it!”

Well-meaning children—unaware of recent safeguard changes the US Government has put in place for reverse mortgage borrowers—may prevent their parents from moving forward with a transaction that would truly benefit them.

Misinformation about reverse mortgages abounds. Get the facts.

Objection #1: “Mom, the bank will own your home!” Actually, Mom never gives up the title to her home.

Objection #2: “But Dad, there will be no inheritance for us kids!” Children do not realize that the property can be willed to the kids. With new safeguards (including lower lending limits and reduced mortgage insurance costs), the loan balance grows more slowly, allowing the heirs to decide to refinance or sell the home.

Seniors have worked all their lives to provide for their families.

Rather than struggling financially in retirement, they can unlock the equity in their home, and provide a more secure life in their golden years.

Teachers union proposes lawsuit settlement Legal battle over sick leave bank was initiated in 2013

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County teachers’ union has proposed settling a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District that dates back to 2013 and alleges the district improperly dissolved thousands of sick leave bank hours.

The dispute arose with the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement between the district and the union in 2012. The agreement ended that year when the district and union failed to negotiate a renewal.

Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said the district robbed teachers of sick leave because it terminated the program when the collective bargaining agreement ended, something the union says it didn’t agree to. There were an estimated 7,500 days still in the bank.

Leyba in early September spoke to the Douglas County School Board requesting directors reinstate the sick leave bank. She also asked directors to restore Public Employees Retirement Association contributions, also called PERA, that teachers did not earn while on disability.

Four union representatives sued the district in 2013 over the sick leave bank hours. One of them, Sarah Staebell, died of cancer before the lawsuit could be resolved.

Under the policy, teachers donated one of their sick days to the bank each year, which teachers could use in the event of a long-term illness or condition that depleted their

normally allotted sick and vacation time.

Leyba said the court has certified a class of more than 1,000 teachers to bring the suit against the district, and a monetary settlement would cost the district millions.

“Teachers want reform, not money, to resolve this case,” she told Colorado Community Media.

“That’s the offer we made to the board — make it right without taking dollars out of the classroom.”

A spokesman said the district would not comment on the offer or lawsuit because, “this case involves confidential settlement discussions.”

The sick leave bank allowed teachers to continue receiving their full salary and benefits and make PERA contributions while on leave. Once the program was terminated, the district implemented a short-term disability policy that covers 70% of a teacher’s salary and no PERA credits.

After the lawsuit was initiated, then Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen wrote to families, saying the sick leave bank was improperly funded and budgeted and that the disability benefit offered employees tax-free dollars.

The district filed a motion in April 2013 requesting the union’s lawsuit over the sick leave bank be dismissed. The case eventually moved to arbitration and has remained in mediation since then.

It now resides in federal court and is set for a July 13, 2020 trial date. Leyba said the union hopes to reach a settlement before going to court. “(Teachers) want the dignity and the opportunity to help each other,” Leyba said. “It was stolen from them and they want it back.”

Run for the Fallen honors teen killed in STEM shooting Kendrick Castillo’s family received the flags in honor of their son

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kendrick Castillo wasn’t the type to boast about awards or honors, but his father believes the 18-year-old would have appreciated the Run for the Fallen event recognizing his son Sept.

15, he said.

“It means a lot to us because Kendrick was very patriotic,” John Castillo said. “I think him being honored with fallen military is so appropriate.”

During a 100-mile tribute, runners recognized fallen heroes from Colorado during each mile, including veterans, first responders and Kendrick, who was killed in the May 7 school shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch. The school’s cross country team joined the runners for the mile dedicated to their classmate.

The run began Sept. 14 at Fort Carson, near Colorado Springs, and stopped in Castle Rock. It concluded a day later at Fort Logan National Cemetery, in southwest Denver.

Kendrick, who was set to graduate from STEM, was sitting in classroom when the shooting began. He charged one of the suspected shooters in an attempt to save other students and was

They ran the mile dedicated to Kendrick with the volunteers. fatally shot. Eight other students were injured in the attack.

On Sept. 15, before the runners rounded the corner on Ridgeline Boulevard on their way to STEM, the school’s robotics team, which Kendrick once helped lead, rolled out their project from last year. It was a project that Kendrick helped design, engineer and build.

When John Castillo sees the robot, he gets emotional.

“He touched it and he made it come to life,” he said. “And I know that will never be again.”

Members of the robotics and cross country teams, parents, teachers and members of the community all gathered for the event.

Kendrick’s parents, who received memorial flags from the runners, wore shirts identifying them as the teen’s mom and dad. On the back, the shirts said “Most people go their entire life and never meet their hero. I raised mine!”

When the runners arrived at the mile marker for Kendrick outside of the place where he lost his life, they read his name and a quote from the Bible.

“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend,” John 15:13.

As he received the small set of flags from the runners and watched as they saluted him and his wife, Maria, John Castillo thought about his son

“I think he would have been blown away,” he said.

As the next court dates for the suspects approach and John Castillo begins lobbying for safer schools, he hopes the community will remain supportive, he said.

“Folks are not going to agree on issues of safety,” he said. “I just hope that they come together regardless of political sides.”

Temple Grandin urges workforce inclusion, trade skills Developmental Pathways holds roundtable discussion

WHO IS TEMPLE GRANDIN?

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local community leaders recently heard from renowned autism advocate Temple Grandin on employing people with disabilities and workplace inclusion.

Developmental Pathways serves individuals with disabilities or developmental delays in Arapahoe County, Douglas County and the City of Aurora. That’s an area with approximately 1 million people, said interim CEO Matt Vanauken.

On Sept. 9, the organization invited leaders from local government, the K-12 school system, higher education, hospitals and the business community to a roundtable discussion with Grandin.

Grandin is a Fort Collins resident and Colorado State University professor known for her work in animal welfare and autism advocacy.

Temple Grandin spoke at a Developmental Pathways roundtable on Sept. 9.

COURTESY PHOTO child, Grandin has authored numerous books and gives lectures offering a firsthand account of living with autism.

She largely spoke Sept. 9 on workforce needs and employing people with disabilities.

Grandin bemoans the loss of trade skills and jobs in the United States. She says children aren’t being taught hands-on activities like they once were. She gave examples as simple as a child learning

to make a paper snowflake up to the decline of shop programs in schools.

“It’s a lot harder to train them as grownups,” she said.

She believes it’s a problem in a world where technology is replacing some jobs but not all. Computers will never suffice in lieu of plumbers, welders, electricians and mechanics, she said, calling those high-end trades.

“Don’t stick your nose up at

Temple Grandin is a professor at Colorado State University who’s renowned for her autism advocacy efforts, her work in animal welfare and for designing facilities that handle farm animals in a more humane manner.

Her life inspired the 2010 HBO film, “Temple Grandin,” in which she was portrayed by actor Claire Danes. The movie received seven Emmy awards and a Golden Globe.

Born in Boston, Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child. She did not speak until roughly 3 1/2 years old. She experienced teasing and bullying in school but found a passion for animals through working on a cattle farm and pursued science at the encouragement of her mentor and science teacher, Mr. Carlock.

The Fort Collins resident obtained her B.A. at Franklin Pierce College in 1970, her M.S. in animal science from Arizona State University and her Ph.D. in animal science from the University of Illinois in 1989.

She’s authored numerous books on working with animals and autism, including autobiographies that offered an unprecedented firsthand account of living with autism.

Sources: templegrandin.com, Temple Grandin it,” she said of trade skills.

Grandin also discussed what job opportunities should exist for people with disabilities.

There are positions, like making copies in an office, that are great training jobs, Grandin said, and for some people bagging groceries is appropriate. But others are well-suited to work in Silicon Valley or as a professor like herself.

“I want people in jobs they’re going to like,” she said.

People with autism are often highly skilled in one area but struggle in another.

Grandin is a visual thinker who thinks through images.

She struggled as a student and in subjects like algebra.

But her visual thinking helped her to revolutionize the design of cattle handling facilities. Roughly half of America’s cattle are in systems Grandin designed, according to her website.

SHERIFF FROM PAGE 3

Spurlock’s response To Spurlock, the whole effort is a waste of time, he said.

“They didn’t like my position on red flag, but none of them participated in trying to find a solution either,” he said. “It seems counterproductive.”

In response to the expanded reasons for attempting a recall, Spurlock said the committee was “grasping at straws.”

“I’ve been the sheriff for five years, I’ve been a police officer for 40 years, I was the undersheriff for nine,” he said. “I have an impeccable record.”

Spurlock believes the group is continuously changing their reasoning for recall due to a lack

of backing from the community, he said.

“They don’t have the strength, they don’t have the support over the red flag… now he’s trying to find another angle all of a sudden,” he said.

In a Douglas County voter opinion poll this year, 53 percent of residents said they agree that law enforcement should be allowed to seize guns if the owner is thought to be a threat to themselves or the community.

Spurlock — whose department experienced tragedy when Deputy Zackari Parrish was fatally shot by a man believed to be mentally ill in December 2017 — said his support of the red flag law stands strong.

“Why would I waiver because someone is politically after me?” he said. “Life is more important than politics.”

Brauchler also cited Hanagan’s work to bring the investigation unit into 100 percent POST compliance with state law enforcement standards, as well as his willingness to train and teach others.

Hanagan is a certified instructor in defensive tactics, FTO, Taser, and is a State of Colorado Crisis Intervention Team member. He also teaches on topics including criminal procedure, stops and seizures to law enforcement academies, new detective and citizen academies. He regularly speaks to students at Arapahoe High School about basic drug facts and life skills.

“I am honored to be nominated for this award, let alone be selected to receive it,” Hanagan said in the news release. “It is my privilege to work in the investigations unit, the courtroom and the community on behalf of victims of crime. It is only because of the support of my colleagues, DA Brauchler and other members of the office that I am able to be successful.”

Before joining the district attorney’s office, Hanagan worked for the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office for 15 years, where he held many positions, including patrol officer, South Metro Drug Task Force member, Impact Team member, and supervisor with the rank of sergeant.

An investigator from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has been honored by the Colorado District Attorneys Council, according to a news release. Matt Hanagan received the 2019 Mike Bell Award as Investigator of the Year at the organization’s annual conference.

Hanagan joined the DA’s office in March 2015. He leads the FLEX team and works with the Cold Case Unit, among other responsibilities. The FLEX team in the investigations unit works to protect victims and witnesses from threats associated with criminal cases.

District Attorney George Brauchler nominated Hanagan for the award.

“Hanagan was the logical choice to head this unit, due to his leadership, expertise, his genuine and impassioned concern for victims of crime, and unrivalled tenacity,” Brauchler said in his nomination. “Under Matt’s leadership, our FLEX team has been extremely successful at locating and maintaining contact with victims and witnesses, and in addressing the many

Brauchler cited the prosecution of Terrance and Tina Black, who were convicted of the murder of a witness to a marijuana store robbery they orchestrated.

“Without the team’s work in producing and keeping these important and vulnerable witnesses safe, the outcome of these cases would likely have been very different,” Brauchler said in his nomination letter. “Matt’s team is in the business of protecting victims

South Suburban seeks youth commission members STAFF REPORT

Teens looking to serve their community can apply to be part of the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Youth Commission, now in its sixth year.

The youth commission gives teens the chance to become involved in their communities and in South Suburban events and activities, according to a news release. Commission members help organize fundraisers, host service projects and participate in fun activities with their peers.

Teens also will practice their skills in critical thinking, communications and creativity while learning about local government and the parks and recreation industry. Past projects included successful fundraising tournaments at Colorado Journey Mini Golf, preparation of hundreds of sack lunches for the homeless and lowincome families, and volunteer opportunities with Children’s Kindness Network in local elementary schools.

Members of the commission also organized and participated in a trail clean-up project along the Mary Carter Greenway.

Eligible students in grades 7-11 who live in the South Suburban district

and maintain a minimum 2.0 gradepoint average in school are welcome to apply. Teens must be willing to share ideas in group settings and be accepting of others and their ideas.

The goals of the commission are to discuss and suggest possible solutions about issues that young people face; to provide input about programs that are offered to teens in the community; to promote positive programs with peers; to promote healthy living, including overall physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, and to provide opportunities to develop youth as future leaders.

The youth commission serves in an advisory role to the recreation department, and members are selected through an application and interview process facilitated through the youth commission and staff liaisons.

Candidates will be appointed by the South Suburban Board of Directors.

The commission meets from 6-7:30 p.m. the first Tuesday of the month from February through October.

For an application and more information, go to ssprd.org/YouthCommission. Contact Sarah Nielsen at Sarahn@ssprd.org or 303-483-7034, or Chantel Tolan at ChantelT@ssprd. org or 303-754-0552. Applications are due Oct. 1.

Her work in animal science and the cattle industry was featured in the HBO film “Temple Grandin,” which won seven Emmy’s and a Golden Globe.

Grandin urges businesses to employ all sorts of thinkers — visual, mathematical and verbal. They each bring a different skillset and expertise to the workforce.

She uses phones as an example. Apple can’t make an iPhone without the artists who design the interface to be userfriendly and the engineers that actually make the device function, she said.

Grandin said it’s important for people with disabilities to be stretched — to learn to work outside the family and home.

workplace for people with disabilities.

The organization can help employers find resources to help them make their workplace open to people with disabilities.

People with disabilities are less likely to be employed than those that do not have a disability, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The proportion of people with a disability who were also employed was approximately 19% in 2018, compared to 66% for people without a disability.

She said the trade skills Grandin spoke of can also be opportunities to hire people with disabilities.

“We talk all the time about these jobs that we can’t fill,” she said. “What do you really need in this job? Is it something that could be taught to a person with a disability?”

Mostly, Tenure said the organization wants competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

“You learn and you grow with every job you have,” Tenure said. “People with disabilities are the same.”

Farewell to laundromats is a wash come true

I

just washed a load of colors and had a particularly gruesome flashback to a time when I didn’t own a washing QUIET machine.

I didn’t own a wash- DESPERATION ing machine until I was 33. I depended upon the ones in my apartment buildings or public laundromats.

Whenever laundromats are shown in films (“Shopgirl,” “The Blind Side,” Craig Marshall “Sling Blade”) they are almost always Smith sad-looking places with sad-looking people in them.

I went to Yelp to see if things have

changed, at least in Denver, and the Top Ten look nothing like the ones I went to in West Los Angeles, that had a lost-and-found of 40 or 50 unmatched socks, a few peach-colored brassieres, and kitchen towels with pictures of spices on them.

In college, I did my laundry once every two weeks, and I always went at odd hours, to avoid people. However, it meant that others who did their laundry at odd hours to avoid people would be there too. We never spoke. Maybe we nodded to each other, and that was it.

I do not underestimate my washing machine. It is more dependable than I am. It has a lot of different settings on it, but I think it’s just an illusion, and every setting actually performs identically.

How does a box of water know if

something is permanent press or not?

The answer is: It doesn’t, but it sounds reassuring.

When I went to laundromats, I had to sit there and wait. It was two hours of sitting there, and I usually took a book. The time wasn’t misused, but I would rather have been reading the book in my own home.

I was always on the lookout for nefarious types. Los Angeles has a few. However, my relentless self-preservation disallowed the possibility that I might meet someone who would become famous someday.

Here is an imagined conversation.

“Hey,” he said.

“Hello,” I said.

“I’m writing a song. I need a word that rhymes with ‘mire.’”

“Pyre?”

“Perfect. ‘And our love become a funeral pyre.’ Thanks, man.”

“Shouldn’t it be ‘becomes a funeral pyre’?”

“Uh, no, man.”

The lighting in the laundromats I went to was always very unflattering.

Maybe that has changed too. It made everything and everyone look worse.

As if David Lynch was behind it.

My first apartment building, on Sawtelle in West Los Angeles, had two washing machines and two dryers. It was always a matter of luck whether they were in use or not.

Sometimes loads would be left in them long after clothes were washed or dried, and that led to: 1. apologies, or 2. disputes. Generally, disputes.

Winning happens when we choose to win

W LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Picking the wrong fight I comment on Jessica Gibbs’ Aug. 23 article, “Douglas County School District Seeks Ouster of Charter School That Has Armed Staff,” because I had interviewed several of the principals in the Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County Faculty/Administrator Safety Training & Emergency Response (FASTER) training program. The Academy had armed staff and I found the program credible and responsible. I was distressed by DCSD Superintendent Thomas Tucker’s aggressive rhetoric used that he would fight “tooth and nail” to oppose arming school staff.

I hoped to find in Ms. Gibbs’ article and other sources clarification of or justification for Dr. Tucker’s unyield-

ing position. The DCSD website asserts that the district supports a “safe, positive climate and culture” and that Dr. Tucker supported and endorsed the “district’s safe schools plan, which is evidence- and research-based.” Dr. Tucker’s Aug. 20 testimony to a panel at the Colorado Capitol, Ms. Gibbs’ article and the school’s website collectively failed to even tiptoe near any evidence or research that justified Dr. Tucker’s hyperbolic threat to “fight tooth and nail” against a policy that could save lives.

Dr. Tucker’s achievements in his previous employment at the Princeton City School District are modest.

hen we are intentional about making our choices and deliberate when it comes to choosing our own path, we typically increase our chances of success. It’s when we allow others to make our choices for us, or when we allow circumstances or even prior habits to dictate our path, that we find ourselves living a WINNING life that is vastly WORDS different than the one we dreamed of or had envisioned for ourselves.

In last week’s column we talked about intentionally choosing the right words to think about and to share with others, good, power- Michael Norton ful, hope-filled, and encouraging words. We also covered how we can choose what we allow to captivate our mind and eye, images and imagery that elevate our positive attitude and bring us joy. The key here is that we choose what we allow in and what we ultimately decide to keep out.

Our choice to create a winning life and a better experience is no dif-

ferent. We are the ones who get to ultimately choose what we act upon, what we respond to, and the direction we choose to pursue. It’s a choice, and if you are reading this column right now, you still have time to make new choices, choose to follow the rewarding path you may be currently on and enjoying, or choose a new and different way forward.

One of my favorite personal development books of all time came out earlier this year. It is titled “Choose to Win” by Tom Ziglar, the proud son of Zig Ziglar and the CEO of the Zig Ziglar Corporation. The subtitle contains the magic and power of the book, “Transform Your Life One Simple Step at a Time.” And within the book I found the strategies and tactics that allowed me to plan and prepare for the next steps and new journey I was about to embark upon.

When asked for the secret to success, Tom offers this response, “The fastest way to success is to replace bad habits with good habits.” Sounds kind of easy right? If it is, why aren’t we all already doing it? It’s because we haven’t yet made the choice to intentionally choose to win. We may have made bad decisions in the past,

Tariffs increasing market volatility

hank goodness we live in the United States. Among the blessings we share is an economy that has been more self-reliant than most. The United States contains vast amounts of natural resources, the world’s largest economy, a steady central banking system and a relatively resilient consumer. This positively compares our economic and political structure to China, Germany FINANCIAL and Japan.

We as a nation STRATEGIES face a new challenge … the fact that the world’s second largest economy, China, seems to be attempting to take advantage of the rest of the world. Governments around the world imposing tariffs on Patricia Kummer imports is commonplace. The United States’ tariff rate on industrial products — prior to the changes of the last few months — is among the lowest in the world, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The tariff issue has been brewing for the better part of two years. However, the real issue the world has with China may have little to do with actual tariff rates, but rather industrial espionage and China’s global expansionary plans over the long term.

Two of the more egregious practices which the Chinese government has undertaken during the last number of

we may have chosen poorly, but we can start turning that all around with the choices we make today and in all the tomorrows yet to come.

Starting with your “why” is step one. Why am I doing this? Why are we doing this? It’s no different with our decision to choose to win. And as you will read in Tom’s book, he points out that discovering our “why” is also a choice. We need to be proactive and understand what we want to be, do, and have in this life. When we do, and when our “why” becomes clear, it will be much easier to make the right choices in each area that supports our goals and dreams. Replace bad habits with good habits, elegantly simple and yet powerfully productive when we choose to do it, when we choose to win.

years have been: • To gain access to China’s economy, importers may need to take on a Chinese partner … someone who may be tied directly to the Chinese government. This allows China control over import levels, prices and business practices of companies.

• Industrial espionage has been a common practice of various Chinesebased companies backed by the Chinese government. Additionally, foreign companies may be required by the Chinese government to provide access to patent-protected manufacturing processes and proprietary industrial secrets. If companies refuse to comply with these requirements, they may not be allowed to sell their products to them.

These requirements have provided the opportunity for China’s companies to mimic high-tech manufacturing efficiencies gained through hard work and investments by companies and people from around the world.

Therefore, we are in a Catch-22.

While someone needs to rein in China, there are definitely concerns around the problems increased tariffs may bring upon our economy.

There could be another round of issues with China coming. There remains about $300 billion of annual Chinese imports into the United States that haven’t been affected by the tariff war … yet. Will the Trump administration apply the new 25% tariff rate to these imports? As of this writing, we don’t know, but, by most accounts, the tinue to positively impact millions of people. His body of work when it comes to developing excellence in ourselves and in others has contributed to the success of many CEO’s, business owners, parents, students, athletes, salespeople, managers, and people from all walks of life. This new book by his son Tom Ziglar, “Choose to Win,” will change your life and contribute to your success. It really will, but only if you first choose that you want to win and desire a change in your own path or journey.

How about you? Is it time to replace a bad habit with a good one? Is it time to make new choices? I would love to hear your “Choose to Win” story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we decide to make and own our choices in life, it really will be a better than good week.

Chinese authorities are not backing down on their practices that we, and much of the rest of the world, want addressed. This amounts to about half of all imports from China, therefore providing the United States significant power to apply further pressure to China’s exports to our country.

The potential impact from these new tariffs could cause an increase in inflation along with slower overall growth in consumer discretionary spending.

Perhaps the biggest impact may be on both consumer and business sentiment. In the meantime, the uncertainty of the trade issues affects capital market price volatility levels and investors may remain wary for the time being.

LIFE Don’t be a

TRAIL TROLL Open space officials, volunteers discuss outdoor etiquette amid increasing use

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen a bicyclist encounters a horseback rider on the trail, do they know what to do? When hikers walk their dogs through local open spaces, do they know the dos and don’ts of taking pets along for the adventure?

Denver metro area open space officials and volunteers who spoke to Colorado Community Media said the majority of people are considerate and follow trails rules. But they’ve also seen an influx of people hitting the trails as the Front Range’s population booms. That heightens the need for trail etiquette education, they said.

“You’ve got experienced people who don’t think twice about (etiquette) and your inexperienced people who just aren’t used to it yet,” said Open Space Specialist Hans Reichgelt with the City of Westminster.

In general, trail etiquette stipulates that cyclists yield to hikers and horseback riders, while hikers yield to horses. Yielding means moving off the trail until a user with the right-of-way has passed.

People should also stay to the right and keep pets on the right as well. Pass others on the left. People should announce themselves before passing. Clean up after pets.

Douglas County recently produced informational materials concerning trail etiquette in light of the county’s population growth and increase in trail use, said Assistant Director of Open Space Scott McEldowney.

“We anticipate roughly 600,000 users on open space this year,” McEldowney said. “I believe this year we will be about 5% over last year. The previous few years, we have seen a 15% to 20% increase.”

That’s a lot of people to fit in a relatively confined area, McEldowney said.

Total, the county manages 90 miles of open space trails and another 63 miles in Douglas County parks.

That’s not counting municipalities, state parks or federal forest land in the area.

In the north metro, Westminster offers 150 miles of trail surface, most of which is multimodal, Reichgelt said. People can walk, run, bike or ride horses.

In 2017, Westminster saw just shy of 550,000 trail users and nearly 554,000 in 2018.

Reichgelt said the city expects to surpass last year’s count “very soon for 2019.” He cautioned the city does not have counters on all trails, so the true numbers could be higher.

Open space officials aren’t the only ones advocating for responsible trail use and etiquette.

Throughout Jefferson County, the nonprofit Golden Giddyup Trail Team partners with Jefferson County Open Space to maintain trails. The organization began in 2013 after floods devastated the local

JESSICA GIBBS trail system.

This summer, members surpassed 10,000 hours of volunteer work. Those hours have included pop-up events where they encourage people to follow open space rules and regulations.

“Working with open space and staff, we’ve specifically targeted mountain bikers at some of the most heavily used parks,” said Executive Director Jeff Watrobka.

The group is mostly comprised of mountain bikers. Watrobka himself averages 40 to 50 miles a week. He believes an important part of trail

ELLIS ARNOLD

etiquette is understanding a trail’s difficulty level before setting out.

Then, he said, check the weather. It’s important for trail users to pay attention to recent weather events. Different trails are comprised of different soil types, he said.

Some lend themselves well to biking or horseback riding when wet, but others do not. Those with heavy clay content can be damaged if used too soon after rain or snow, he said.

If he could grade Douglas County trail users, McEldowney said he’d give them a B-plus. There’s a low frequency of accidents, which can partially be attributed to how the system was planned, he said, but also to educated users.

When it comes to areas of improvement, Reichgelt, McEldowney and Watrobka all urged trails user to remain aware of their surroundings.

Ditch the headphones. Be on the lookout for wildlife, and other trail users. Lastly, leash the family dog, and keep it close.

When people make complaints, it’s frequently about unleashed dogs, McEldowney said. Similarly, Reichgelt said allowing dogs to extend their leash across the trail is a common mistake people make.

“That’s just a clothesline for anyone coming through on a bike,” he said.

Mostly, the men encouraged people to follow the golden rule and take care of the trail as though it were their home.

“Just be nice,” Reichgelt said. “Everyone is trying to do the same thing — just get out there and enjoy the outdoors.”

Award-winning author releases middle grade book STAFF REPORT

Kids and horses were made for each other, especially when the kid is a young Colorado teen who dreams of owning a real mustang. But adopting wild horses isn’t easy, especially when the young filly yearns to be back with her herd.

Denver native Corinne Joy Brown, a multi-award-winning author and horse owner for 40 years, brings together young Jesse Nolan from Evergreen and Curly Girl, an American Curly, a breed that sports a coat like a poodle in the winter, in her first publication for middle grade readers (ages 9-13) titled “Finding Home.”

Created with Colorado illustrator Ginny McDonald, the book is based loosely on McDonald’s actual adop-

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Taking center stage Q&A with Grammerstorf Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Mallory Pugh. She went to Vista and she kinda showed it really doesn’t matter how old you are, you can compete with whoever you want to.

What would be a perfect performance in softball?

Not make any errors in the field and even if you do, try to recover and get in the right mindset. And coming to hit, try as hard as you can, and getting on base a lot would be nice.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Besides PE, probably social studies. It is really interesting to learn about the past and how it relates to now.

What are your plans after high school?

I am thinking of going to Colorado Mesa. I want to study athletic training.

K

ami Grammerstorf is the center fielder on the Mountain Vista softball team.

She is also the daughter of head coach Bret Grammerstorf, but that hasn’t created any problems at home or on the softball diamond.

“I wouldn’t say it is difficult,” said Kami. “It’s more of a balance of him being supportive as a father and him as

a coach having to be disciplined. There’s a lot of one-on-one time at home, too, where we can talk about a game. There is a lot of softball involved in everyday life.

“On the rides home after games there is a lot of talk of what we could have done differently. I don’t make too many suggestions. I just go along. I haven’t really made any goals for myself this season except to work harder than I have in the past and just try to be better for my teammates.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She was hurt (hip) last year and didn’t get a chance to play most of the season. We’re hoping this year will be a fun year with her being a senior and a leader. I’m kind of biased but she works hard and does everything she can. It has been fun.’

Bret Grammerstorf, Mountain Vista head softball coach

What is the biggest challenge as a center fielder?

As a center fielder you are always told to go get the ball even if it is in the right fielder’s area. So it is kind of hard to judge whether it should be your ball or if you are taking away their ball.

Do you welcome the chance to throw a runner out with a throw from the outfield?

I get excited when the ball comes to me and I get a chance to come through and just throw as hard as I can.

If it gets there, great, if it doesn’t, oh well.

Favorite song?

Probably anything by Elvis. I don’t know if I could narrow it down from Elvis.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | After eight games, Kami Grammerstorf was hitting .423 with six runs batted in. She has been credited with a sacrifice fly and two sacrifice bunts. She had two assists from center field and is errorless in the outfield.

U.S. Soccer rules frustrate coaches at high schools

H

igh school soccer in Colorado has been forced to adopt a new look over the past few seasons.

Many of the best players are skipping high school soccer because of the commitment to play with Developmental Academy teams.

“We’ve got three or four or five players roaming the halls that are not playing for us,’” said Mark Hampshire, who is the coach of Arapahoe’s defending state champions and No. 1 ranked 5A team in the state this year. “I think OVERTIME unfortunately that is the way it is for a lot of folks.

“We have some guys that could have played DA but they realize the importance of high school, Jim Benton that it is going to get then farther that developmental. “ Developmental Academies are designed for elite players looking to play collegiate soccer and maybe beyond, so practices and games are against top-flight competition, which challenges player to improve their skills. According to U.S. Soccer, the academy’s philosophy is based on increased training, fewer total games and more meaningful matches. Players are showcased for college recruiters.

The major controversy surrounding the 10-month DA season is that players and teams cannot play in any outside competition, which includes high school soccer. Boys DA programs started in 2007 with six age groups starting at U12. Girls DA programs began in 2017 with four age groups.

“We lost anywhere between four to six players, which is unfortunate because soccer keeps pushing that on families and kids,” said Heritage coach Adam Buseck after the Eagles lost 1-0 to Arapahoe in a rivalry game. “They can’t hardly get out of their own way.

“A couple of those kids who played DA are here, watching our game. They want to play but they also have to follow their own choices.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

It is easier to publish words about excellence than to achieve it. I fear the same will apply with protecting lives.

Dr. Tucker has not made his case.

Ejecting schools that allow armed staff is a toothless gesture and, I fear, will be nails in some student’s coffin.

Michael Sabbeth, Esq. Denver Kudos to board, Tucker My family has lived in Highlands Ranch for 12 years and our kids attend our neighborhood middle school. I am writing in praise of our current Douglas County School Board and Superintendent Tucker. In the past two years I have seen a marked increase in transparency with the public.

For example, except in rare cases, all school board business is conducted in public. Board meetings are live streamed and afterward the community is emailed a detailed summary of what was discussed, with links to resources including budget and planning documents.

When asking voters to support a bond and mill levy, the board made explicitly clear the needs for which it would use the money at each and every school. Today, I continue to receive detailed updates on how dollars

“U.S. Soccer is one of the organizations that they think they know what is right.”

There are two DA programs per gender in Colorado. Colorado Real has both boys and girls DA programs. The Rapids has a boys DA program and Colorado Rush has a girls program.

“There is a place for high school just as I think there is a place for the developmental academy,” said Colorado Real chief operating officer Jared Spires. “For a club like Real, we’re not saying the developmental academy is the right thing any more than we are saying high school is the right thing, “We want to be at the forefront of club soccer and currently that is the developmental academy. To participate in that we have to abide by U.S. Soccer’s mandates, which says kids

September 19, 2019S are being spent. You may have noticed signs in front of your neighborhood schools listing what capital improvements are being made there now. As someone for whom fiscal responsibility is of paramount importance, I appreciate my elected officials’ honesty and transparency in this matter.

This is in sharp contrast to several years ago when I rarely received any meaningful board communication and often business was held in closed executive session. Now, when community members want answers from directors or Dr. Tucker, it is as easy as sending them an email. You will receive a prompt and personal response!

I wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to the board and Dr. Tucker for showing respect for all community voices.

Kelly Allan Highlands Ranch

achieving this goal, overall, I would argue the leadership of the school is more tactical than classical. The leadership is tactical in its approach to playing politics over education. It also was tactical when choosing politics over safety in the armed teacher debate.

The leadership of Ascent might believe in a classical approach, but it’s probably Machiavellian — “ends justify the means” — rather than altruistically supporting the families in the community. For the sake of the school, and a unique option in the district, we should demand new school leadership that will give quality choice while ethically and transparently serving families.

John Bennett Highlands Ranch

Classical or tactical?

DCSD is a one of the best districts in the state, and one of the reasons for this is school choice. However, I must question the motives of one of those charter schools: Ascent Classical Academy. They claim to be a classical school focusing “on excellence with a high-quality academic program, developing future leaders with the good character and virtue to flourish and be successful in life.”

While there are probably many great families, students, faculty and staff there and working toward

Sending wrong message Last month, Castle Rock Pride held its first Pride Festival to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Advertised as family-friendly, I thought it peculiar there was a scheduled drag queen story hour for young children and politely suggested officials reconsider whether this might be an inappropriate “literary” event for the smallest impressionable minds. Nonetheless, adult performers were there in garish dress and makeup to entertain/read to little ones. Thereupon, Alice Glam-

don’t play high school sports if they are in your developmental academy.

“We’re not saying the academy is better. We tell our academy players there is nothing that stops them from being involved in their high schools in different ways. We are just saying when it comes to soccer, because of the Developmental Academy rules, you can’t play.”

Requests for comments from U.S. Soccer were not returned.

Jim Engels coached club soccer for 30 years and is the boys and girls coach at Ponderosa.

“DA has hurt high school soccer a lot just from the standpoint of talent level,” he said. “We still have good soccer in high school but we lost a lot of talented players, both boys and girls.

It hurts the kids, too, because very kid I’ve talked to either would rather play high school or comes back and plays high school.

“To me the academies are all about money. It’s expensive, plus it burns kids out. If you don’t play academy

and just play on a regular club team, you can play both high school and club. I know all the high school coaches are frustrated.”

oure and “daughter” Lucia moved outdoors to stage a multi-costume, musical drag show for all ages. Good idea?

PrideFest’s officials printed code of conduct prohibited obscene dress and expected appropriate behavior of attendees. And yet this booty-shakin,’ stuff-strutting spectacle soon deteriorated to preening Alice calling for monetary donations. Soon herds of youngsters, mostly 6-12, were running forward to thrust dollar bills into outstretched hands and clothing of Alice and Lucia, continuing to troll the crowd for bucks and fawning adulation. Any obscenity detected here?

Who believes that sexualization of children — particularly young girls — in our culture, whether by Miley Cyrus or local drag queens, is a noble objective? Are there festival attendees who support LGBTQ inclusiveness but will acknowledge “PG-13” drag shows unrestricted for even the littlest kids might be a bridge too far?

The code insisted attendees must “support and promote acceptance and validation...of the LGBTQ+ community.” Effectively muzzled, anyone there who “spoke poorly of ” Glamoure’s performance could have generated grounds for removal.
