We’re making a change that we hope you’ll support

MY NAME IS Scott Johnson, a recent Legend High School graduate, poses for a senior photo.

Johnson says technology has been a boon to society, but he says it is disrupting the ability of members of his generation to communicate.

SCOTT JOHNSON

Legend High School grad steps up to serve About me I have been privileged to grow up with two loving parents and a younger brother, as well as supportive grandparents. I owe my family everything. Without them I would not be the young man I am today.

I try and take advantage of every opportunity I can. I run varsity cross-country and varsity track and field. These past four years I have had the opportunity to be a member of the Legend High School Student Government, honor societies, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and bowling club. I also had the privilege of serving as the senior class president.

Even though I live a very busy life I love every minute of it.

Getting my wings I had the opportunity to visit the United States Air Force Academy campus on Father’s Day when I was in sixth grade, and from that day on I knew that I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy.

I applied to the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy and West Point, and I was honored to be accepted by all three. In the end I chose the Air Force Academy because I know in my heart that it’s the place for me.

Getting (out) to know me My hobbies include anything that requires me to be outside. I love running, camping, hiking, rock climbing and kayaking. Nature allows me to forget about the stresses and trivial responsibilities of life, even if it’s just for a short time.

It’s also a chance for me to learn more about myself. I never let life bring me down and I always live with a smile on my face.

Screen time vs. face time The biggest challenge facing my generation is our constant need for technology. I believe technology improves many facets of life, but my generation has become so reliant on phones and other devices that it hurts communication.

We hide behind glass screens and faceto-face communication makes us uncomfortable.

I believe that I can help by teaching others effective communication skills as well as just setting an example. Others my age should address the problem and try to become less reliant on their technology.

Spirit animal If I could be any animal I would be a peregrine falcon. It’s the mascot of the Air Force Academy, which is only fitting, and I believe the opportunity to fly and feel that type of freedom would be indescribable.

That connection makes Jerry Healey us relevant in people’s lives.

More often than not, we have the only journalists in the room, which means community members can spend their time living their lives, knowing that their hometown newspaper is on the job, making sure to let them know about what affects them and their neighbors.

A major shift has occurred to our industry — as with many other businesses — because of the internet. The internet is full of opportunities for our advertisers, and we have become a fully integrated marketing services company that includes print advertising and almost any digital marketing solution available. On the readership side, our research indicates that reading us in print is still preferred by most of you. That is great for us, because at the end of the day, your hometown newspaper is brought to you by the advertisers in our printed newspaper. And as usual, I ask you to support them.

To continue to offer the variety of ways people can read us, we will begin charging a small annual fee on June 1 for those who want to read us online. If you are a subscriber or voluntary-pay contributor, online access is included for no additional charge.

For others, we will begin charging $20 per year. This is the way it works: Without an online subscription, readers have access to two articles per month and our online e-reader (flipbook) for free. We call this our metered paywall — metered because you get two free articles per month. After that, you must subscribe to gain access to additional stories. For a limited time, we will give readers a $5 discount, so the initial charge will be only $15 for a full year of online access.

We are there to report on schools, government, sports, business and people who weave the fabric of where we live. We watch for misdeeds, explore issues that affect you and provide you with information that, hopefully, helps us make better decisions. We tell stories that otherwise would not be told. And we keep you connected to your hometown.

We realize this change will surprise some of our readers.

But we encourage you to help support the vital role we play in our communities.

Franktown Village rezoning hearing draws hundreds Planning commission postpones decision on development application

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 300 people packed the hearing room at the Douglas County Philip S. Miller building in Castle Rock to hear the planning commission’s decision on a development at the intersection of two state roads in Franktown.

They’ll have to wait three more weeks.

Commissioners closed the May 15 hearing on the Franktown Village rezoning application and water appeal at 10 p.m., before many of the more than 100 citizens who signed up to speak had their chance.

Public comment will continue at the next planning commission meeting, scheduled for June 5. The commission is expected to decide the rezoning and water appeal at that hearing.

The development at the intersection of Colorado 83 and Colorado 86 has been in the planning stage for more than five years. Plans include 286 single-family homes and 180,000 square feet for commercial and retail space.

Attorney Jack Reutzel represented developers Russ Berget and Pat Carroll, and said the rezoning application met all 15 criteria for approval and that there would be no “big box” stores in the retail space.

Citizens opposed to it formed a nonprofit group, the Franktown Citizens Coalition, to address concerns regarding density, water rights and the loss of the rural way of life in the largely undeveloped area. The group re-formed in 2014 with the moniker Franktown Citizens Coalition II. Coalition president Diana Love spoke first for the opposition. She rejected Reutzel’s assessment.

Love said Franktown Village would

“destroy the rural character of Franktown,” and added that the plan was neither desirable nor financially viable.

One commissioner asked Reutzel about good-faith efforts to educate area residents on the project. The commissioner said development issues arise from poor communication to help citizens understand the inevitability of change and help developers devise a plan sensitive to citizens in the area.

Reutzel said he has enjoyed working with Love, but talks are at a standstill.

“I pride myself on finding common ground,” he said, “I just don’t think we’re going to get there.”

Memorial Day ceremonies set for Parker, surrounding area STAFF REPORT

Parker town administrator resigns Michelle Kivela assumes role after departure of Randy Young

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Randy Young, Parker’s town administrator since May 2010, resigned unexpectedly on May 15.

Parker Communications Director Elise Penington confirmed that members of town council accepted Young’s resignation on May 15, but said she was not certain whether the resignation was anticipated by town staff.

Young, whose annual base salary was $185,000, was not present at the council’s public meeting that evening.

Penington released the following Young statement via email, attributed to Mayor Mike Waid: “Randy Young accomplished many positive achievements during his tenure as Parker’s town administrator and we wish him the best with his future endeavors,” Waid said.

Michelle Kivela, the deputy town administrator since June 2012, will assume Young’s role until a new administrator is chosen. Penington said the council is still determining the next steps and timeline in the search for a new town administrator.

Calls to Young by the Parker Chronicle were not immediately returned.

CLASS OF 2017

aelynn Kenny learned a lot of things during her four years at Chaparral High School, the most important of which was how to make origami frogs.

“They’re bendable, moldable, and oh so practical for passing notes in class,” Kenny said, addressing Chaparral’s graduating class of 2017 on May 17 at EchoPark Stadium in Parker. More importantly, she added, “they can change to become better versions of themselves.”

The seniors receiving their diplomas, Kenny said, are not unlike those origami frogs, all folded uniquely and all ready to take what they learned in high school to make their way in the world.

Principal Greg Gotchey, who began his term at Chaparral the same year the graduates did, included himself as a member of the class when they were incoming freshmen. Their unofficial class slogan, “2017 — best you’ve ever seen,” was fitting, he said, adding that Chaparral seniors earned more than $11 million in college scholarships.

“No matter what, you’ll always be a member of the Chap family,” Gotchey said. “I love you, Godspeed.”

Newly conferred diplomas sit on the EchoPark Automotive Stadium field as their owners celebrate their graduation from Ponderosa High School. The threat of stormy weather caused the school to hold the ceremony two hours earlier than scheduled on May 17, with participants and spectators leaving just before rain and thunder hit the area.

Under an overcast sky, Ponderosa graduate Lindsay Butler looks across the field at EchoPark Automotive Stadium on May 17. Butler wore a lei of candy bars fashioned by a friend from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Parker.

torm clouds threatened the graduation ceremony for Ponderosa High School for the second year in a row. But the school’s staff, families and graduates beat the weather by holding the ceremony at EchoPark Automotive Stadium in Parker at 5 p.m., two hours earlier than originally scheduled on May 17, leaving more time for post-ceremony celebrations.

“It was just amazing, it summed up high school for me.

Everything just made me think of how much fun I had in high school,” graduate Kobe Gray said.

Gray especially appreciated the commencement address by valedictorian Ellie Houseworth.

“Ellie’s speech, how she reminded us to take a deep breath, and just slow down,” Gray continued. “It just reminded me of all the times I was so stressed and had to try to take it easy.”

Graduate Kayleigh Rodenbaugh said the significance of the event will sink in, eventually.

“It still doesn’t feel real, it still feels like a more advanced summer break,” said Rodenbaugh, who will attend the University of Northern Colorado in the fall to study theater arts. “I’m looking forward to making new relationships with new people.”

Lindsay Butler, sporting a Hawaiian lei composed of candy bars made by a friend from church, expressed excitement, and relief, at joining her classmates for one last school function.

“It’s awesome, I’m finally done,” she said. “I’m looking forward to sleeping in.”

Four $2,000 scholarships awarded to local students

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four young Parker entrepreneurs will have a leg up when they make their first college tuition payment.

The Parker Area Chamber of Commerce awarded four $2,000 scholarships to high school seniors to advance their education and, perhaps, to bring some business expertise back to the town after graduating from college.

“Hopefully some of these kids will return to Parker and open their own business,” said Heidi Heath, chair of the scholarship program. “They were all great, they were all very polished … they’ll be future stars of something.”

Thirty students applied for the scholarships and were evaluated based on academic achievement, volunteer service, leadership and entrepreneurship. The winners

— Kylie Blair of Ponderosa High School, Leslie DeLay of Chaparral High School, Adam Halpern of Lutheran High School and Alexandra Higley of Regis Jesuit High School — each demonstrated those qualities as well as starting their own small businesses or volunteer programs in some cases.

The scholarship began as a $500 award, Heath said, but improved fundraising programs, such as the chamber’s annual Community Celebration silent auction and $5 deductions from the sale of Parker Days Mega Passes, allow for bigger awards in 2017, the third year she’s been in charge of the scholarship.

Each of the winners mentioned that applying for college and taking out student loans was stressful.

The chamber’s long-term goal may be to help grow the business community in Parker, but Heath also hopes the extra money will give scholarship winners peace of mind as they begin taking out student loans and buying textbooks.

“I hope it takes some of the pressure off,” Heath said. “Maybe they won’t have to eat Ramen noodles everyday.”

State legislators talk successes and failures Parties found common ground on construction defects

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State lawmakers were counting their wins and losses in the days after the conclusion of the legislative session.

Colorado Community Media talked to a couple of high-ranking state representatives, a Democrat and a Republican, for perspective on the session that ended May 10.

Successes House Speaker Crisanta Duran, DDenver, and House Assistant Minority Leader Cole Wist, R-Centennial, both count the passage of a construc-

tion defects reform bill as a success this year.

House Bill 1279, if signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, will require the approval of a majority of members of a homeowners association to approve a lawsuit against a contractor.

It would also require HOA boards to disclose projected costs of proposed litigation to members and call a meeting at which the executive board and the developer or builder will have an opportunity to present arguments.

It drew support from across the spectrum and was sponsored by both Duran and Wist.

“It’s a big step in the right direction,” Wist said.

The bill was introduced with bipartisan support after a similar measure died in a committee in the Democratcontrolled House after passing the Republican-controlled Senate. That measure, Senate Bill 156, would have

also required HOAs to enter into third-party arbitration with builders before filing suit, and drew broad opposition from House Democrats.

“We were able to find common ground that will hopefully spur more condos being built,” Duran said.

Wist also said he considers House Bill 1150, limiting bail for stalking or domestic violence offenders; House Bill 1220, limiting residential marijuana grows, and House Bill 1302, establishing laws on juvenile sexting, as successes as well.

Duran said Senate Bill 267, converting the hospital provider fee to an enterprise program and funding infrastructure projects, was a success. She also counted some criminal justice reform bills as successes.

Failures Duran and Wist both count the Legislature’s inability to come to a consensus on transportation-infra-

structure funding as a disappointment, but from different points of view.

Democrats, and a few Republicans, supported a bill that would have put a sales tax increase in front of voters in November in order to fund transportation projects. After passing the house with the support of four Republicans, it was stopped by the Senate finance committee.

“It was a bipartisan compromise,” Duran said of the bill, noting it had co-sponsorship from Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City.

She said she believes it could have passed on the Senate floor.

Wist says the state should prioritize infrastructure funding in the general fund rather that creating new taxes.

“There is waste in this budget that could be reallocated to transportation if only we had the process to do it,” he said.

YOU SPEAK BUSINESS. WE SPEAK BANKING. Surely we can find some common ground.

Banking is about more than managing your money. It’s about engaging in the conversations necessary to build, strengthen, and inspire your financial goals. It’s about you, it’s about your business, and it’s about securing the resources you need to help your business succeed.

It was so amazing to bond with her and actually hold her in my arms. I find the picture so sweet because of how she is looking at me and also because we are both bald together.”

Musing about numbing nourishment is food for thought, or thought for food

T

QUIET DESPERATION

here’s comfort food and there’s discomfort food.

Sometimes one precedes the other.

I am still trying to figure out what discomfort food led to this narrative. Usually I can look back, and finger the wrongdoer. But not this time.

I woke with a stomachache, felt old and useless, and didn’t feel like doing anything.

But when you live alone, you’d better roust at some point, because no one is headed your way with soup.

The Washington Post (2014) reported that there are more Americans living alone than ever before.

Craig Marshall Smith

In the 1920s it was roughly 5 percent. Now it’s more than 27 percent. In Manhattan and Washington, D.C., it’s closer to 50 percent.

If you have looked into this, you know that aging alone raises health and safety issues.

In my instance, the good news is that I do not live in the woods, or on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

My episode, which passed (he said), made me commiserate with anyone who can’t get up and about without pain. Or anyone who cannot get up at all.

I’ve seen that.

My misery accomplished something else.

It kept me off of the computer and my nose

out of the news.

The news has never been this sour. I can’t seem to get any relief. Maybe the trick, occasionally, is to eat a stuffed pepper or a smothered burrito.

Current events hold little consequence when you are unwell.

Was a time when I drank to extricate myself. I went to time zones where the clocks are all counterclockwise.

Somehow or other, I have gathered just enough wisdom to get beyond that.

f you are like most people, we have all had those moments where we wish that we could take a break from technology, or at least some of the technology that seems to preoccupy our lives. Well, this past week I had WINNING an issue with my WORDS laptop and tablet that required that I give up both so that they could be repaired and data salvaged.

As I left both devices in the capable hands of my IT team and Michael Norton boarded my flight home, I thought I would feel nervous or anxious about not having access to my files or my email. But as it turned out, I felt this overwhelming sense of calm and peace. Almost as if I were leaving for a little bit of vacation.

Now I still had my phone, and I was able to see email if I wanted to, I could text if I needed to, and I could check on what’s happening in the news all from the palm of my hand. But instead, I decided that for the next two days I was going to make phone calls to the people I needed to communicate with, not just send a text or email.

I went back to taking notes and capturing outlines for presentations on a pad of paper instead of on my laptop. It was very freeing and I believe it actually stimulated even greater creativity. I mean there is nothing like a blank sheet of paper and pen and pencil to begin drafting ideas and plans.

I enjoyed real conversations with my clients and co-workers.

We had more meaningful dialogues, which led to deeper discussions and even more opportunities. I thought maybe I should go somewhat technology free more often.

Maybe you have done the same thing in your family that other families have done. Things such as no cell phones at the dinner table or during any meal for that matter. Or all cell phones remain in the car when we go out to a movie or restaurant. I have even heard of some families that choose one of the days of the weekend to go completely technology-free as a family for the day.

When it comes to reading, I still prefer a hardcover or paperback book over any type of e-reading device. To me there is just something about the feel of a book compared to the e-readers.

But I don’t know exactly what I would do if I was mostly immobilized. I read about people who live it out with courage, no matter what they are up against.

marily because it’s incomplete. But once the information is out there, it takes on a life of its own … retweets, viral videos, Instagram posts and Facebook Live shared over and over and over again, with streams of comments that continue to spawn wildfires long after the initial blaze is contained.

Most of us recognize this type of false news as the just-too-soon news it actually is. What we as informed media consumers need to guard against is the genuine fake news, perpetuated with innuendo and unfounded theories, and often written and planted for publication with full knowledge that it’s simply not true (which you won’t find in reputable publications online or in print, such as in these pages).

But, I hear some of you ask, how do I know what is a reputable publication? One way is to acquire media and information literacy (MIL). Yes, this is a real thing too — “Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalsization and Extremism,” as reported in a publication of the United

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

Although I read on a regular basis, over these past two days I felt even more compelled to read as well as felt a sense of warmth and comfort with the book in my hand.

With technology comes advancements and efficiencies, I totally get that. But technology can also be a distraction and rob us of opportunities to interact with all of the people in our lives. It draws our attention unnecessarily away from our tasks at hand, such as driving, and sometimes even when we are pretending to carry on a conversation.

I don’t know about you, but I do be-

America it might be different than what an ailing Norwegian asks for.

An ailing Norwegian might want puffin.

Comfort food is typically associated with childhood or home cooking.

We all experience very different childhoods, however.

The Smiths were middle-class, and we ate middle-class meals.

When little Princess Charlotte of Cambridge isn’t feeling it, what might she ring for? It can’t be macaroni and cheese.

Macaroni and cheese comes out on

top in the United States. Meatloaf is in there too, along with sweets, especially ice cream.

Further on down the line are clams. Much further down.

Diners, which are disappearing, are the beneficent angels of comfort food.

I will write a poem to mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken and dumplings? I am working on a song.

Just keep spicy food away from my door, when the ague is on me, even though your intentions might be kindly.

Unless, of course, you want to keep me down.

One of my girlfriends preferred me when I was off a bit.

“Craig, I have a new recipe,” she would say, and before I caught on to her, I’d have a next-day bout.

This is a get-well card from a stranger. Be yourself and shine on again soon, you crazy diamond.

Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the UN Alliance for Civilizations, and the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy.

Of the five MIL laws, I particularly gravitate to Laws 1, 3 and 5. Law 1 states that information, communication, libraries, media, technology, the internet and other forms of information providers are for use in critical civic engagement, and that they are equal in stature. None is more relevant that the other. So, basically, 140 characters shot off in the wee hours of the morning don’t carry any more weight, than, say, the New York Times editorial page.

(One year ago, I would have phrased that sentence in the reverse.)

We all know — or should know — Law 3, which reminds us that information, knowledge, and messages are not always value neutral, or always independent of biases. We do naturally gravitate to news outlets that support our own cognitive biases, and thus tend to believe even the most outlandish statements from the side with which we agree. So for true media and information literacy, I recommend checking out a section in the New York Times that presents reporting and opinion from both ends of the political spectrum.

It never hurts to be informed,

which leads me to Law 5: Media and information literacy is not acquired all at once. It is a lived and dynamic experience, a process that serves us well as we wend our ways tvhrough the glut of too-soon, too-raw and toowrong information that bombards us daily.

We can swallow what we are fed, or we can use our intellect, our

intuition and our informed decisionmaking to select a credible, authentic and reputable diet of news.

lieve I am going to build a technology-free day into my weekly schedule.

Maybe this makes me a dinosaur, I am not sure, but I know that it was freeing, it did stimulate creativity, connections to people were greater, and distractions were minimalized.

How about you? Could you use a break from technology? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can embrace the efficiencies that technology has to offer, but also spend time in a technology-free environment, it really will be a better than good week.

Cycling festival set to draw thousands to Castle Rock

When Scot Harris, event director of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival, planned the first race roughly 30 years ago, he wasn’t expecting a big turnout.

Then, 1,200 people came.

This year, organizers expect 6,000 participants on June 4.

“It’s a great ride,” Harris said.

The event used to feature an off-road course on a road that’s since been paved, Harris said, eliminating that course from the mix in 2017.

‘We’re just as normal as everybody else’ Despite rise in discrimination, Islamic community sees surge of support

p B

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t m t

S

unlight streams through the stained glass at the Colorado Muslim Society’s mosque on Parker Road in southeast Denver on a warm May morning as Imam Shafi Abdulaziz addresses a field trip of seventh-graders from Mountain Ridge Middle School.

He explains aspects of the Islamic faith — the names of the five daily prayers, why shoes aren’t allowed in the mosque, the reason some Muslim women wear head coverings.

As he concludes, he tells the Highlands Ranch students that Islam is a religion of peace.

Then he bids them farewell.

“I pray for the healing of America,” he says. “I love you all.”

‘Fear of the unknown’ The field trip is part of the mosque’s outreach programs to educate communities about what Islam is — and what it isn’t.

Iman Jodeh, the mosque’s spokeswoman who coordinates the programs, jokingly calls the presentations “Islam 101.”

“I dispel a lot of myths,” she said. “I keep it simple but educate people.”

Misconceptions about Islam, such as the subJodeh jugation of women and desire for a holy war with people of other faiths, are constant topics for Jodeh.

“Those views are nowhere in the religion,” she says, adding that reports of terrorism in the news amplify fear of the Islamic community.

That fear has led to a rise in antiIslamic sentiment and hate crimes against Muslims across the United States and in the metro Denver community, law enforcement officials and community leaders say.

In the metro area, mosques are receiving threatening phone calls.

Members report their children being asked if they carry bombs to school in their backpacks. In February, someone threw a rock through a window at the Colorado Muslim Society mosque.

The center recently began self-defense classes for female members.

After the Orlando nightclub shooting last June, a gang of bikers rode its motorcycles from a local bar to the

Imam Shafi Abdulaziz addresses a group of students from Mountain Ridge Middle School during their field trip to the Masjid Abu Bakr, a mosque inside the Colorado Muslim Society building on Parker Road. Students from several area schoools have toured the facility to learn about — and dispel myths about — the Islamic faith.

TOM SKELLEY parking lot of the Metro North Denver Islamic Center in Northglenn, revving engines and yelling slurs, according to Imam ShemsAdeen Ben-Masaud.

Some of the men flipped their middle fingers at security cameras.

Women in the group flashed their breasts.

A few months ago, a self-appointed “neighborhood watch” group came to the center. They were invited inside and given tea and cookies, only to leave and make misleading, hateful Facebook posts.

“There’s a lot of fear of the Islamic faith,” said Ben-Masaud, a native Coloradan born and raised in Aurora.

“A lot of it comes from fear of the unknown.”

A noticeable uptick Local officials and community leaders blame much of the increase in anti-Islamic sentiment and incidents on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign rhetoric that broadly painted Muslims as violent extremists.

Federal courts in Washington state and Hawaii are weighing the constitutionality of his controversial travel ban, an executive order that would bar citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. Data backs up what Jodeh and others in the Islamic community are feeling, said Robert Troyer, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado.

ISLAM

BY THE NUMBERS

FROM PAGE 16

Community president Nihad Poljakovic believes it was “probably young kids who didn’t know what to do with their time.”

But he and most of the mosque’s members know fear too well to forget it.

They came to the U.S. in the 1990s to escape the Bosnian genocide. After Bosnia-Herzegovina declared independence Poljakovic from Yugoslavia in 1992, Bosnian Serb forces persecuted and killed some 80,000 Bosnian Muslims.

Rhetoric that labels Muslims as terrorists and enemies causes painful memories and a nagging anxiety for the Denver refugees.

“When someone even remotely points toward that direction, we get scared,” Poljakovic said. “Every one of us is in a defensive position.”

Troyer’s department, a subdivision of the United States Department of Justice, works to build trust with the Islamic community. He wants members to know that if they call him — or the police — help will come.

“Criminal predators … think the cops aren’t paying attention,” he said. “When a cop does show up (to investigate complaints) that can change the conduct.”

Imam ShemsAdeen Ben-Masaud attaches letters of support and encouragement to a bulletin board inside the Metro Denver North Islamic Center in Northglenn. BenMasaud says his mission is to reach out to people insulated by their surroundings and beliefs, not just the ones already sympathetic to minorities.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY Embracing the situation Despite rising hate crime rates and heightened anxiety, Ben-Masaud, Poljakovic and Jodeh all look past current trends to envision a more inclusive future. They are grateful they live in Colorado, with its accepting and diverse population.

Bulletin boards in each of their mosques are covered with letters of support. At Mile High, neighbors have sent flowers and called with supportive messages.

WHAT DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE? The Islamic faith goes back to the seventh century A.D., founded on the belief in the oneness of God, or Allah. They revere the Prophet Mohammed as the final of God’s prophets and follow teachings written in the Islamic holy text, the Quran.

There are five core principles, or “Pillars,” of the Islamic faith laid out in the Quran.

Paraphrased, they are: 1. Belief in one true God or “Allah” 2. Establishment of five daily prayers 3. Concern for and giving charity to the needy 4. Self-purification through fasting 5. The pilgrimage, or “hajj,” to Mecca for those who are able Basic Islamic beliefs and terms frequently mentioned, and sometimes misinterpreted, include: • Jihad: Iman Jodeh, spokeswoman for the Colorado Muslim Society, said the term “jihad,” which translates directly as “struggle,” is widely misconstrued to mean “holy war.”

She describes jihad as a personal struggle to be the best one can be.

“Everyone has a jihad,” Jodeh said. “It means being a good person, being a good Muslim, being a good neighbor … My jihad is to make sure people really understand what it means to be a Muslim.”

• Women’s rights: Both Jodeh and Imam ShemsAdeen Ben-Masaud agreed that Islam teaches that God created men and women equally, and they should be treated accordingly. Jodeh said extremist sects that don’t allow women to drive or vote are perverting true beliefs to suit their politics.

“That’s where culture has trumped the religion,” she said. “In the eyes of God, women are created equal to men.”

• Hijab: The term can refer to the head coverings many Muslim women wear to observe the principle of modesty, or to the principle itself. Men are also commanded to avert their glances at women’s bodies. Devout

Muslim women wear the hijab in front of men not in their immediate family, but are not required to wear them around their brothers, fathers, husbands, children or each other.

Muslim women, Jodeh included, do not always wear the hijab in public.

“It’s a personal choice,” Ben-Masaud said.

“It’s an act of devotion, everybody’s in different levels.”

• Jesus: Islam teaches that Jesus was the son of Mary in a virgin birth, and that he performed miracles like raising people from the dead and healing the sick. Muslims, like Jews, revere Jesus as a prophet, just as they do Moses, Abraham and other prophets esteemed in Christianity, but do not worship Jesus as the son of God. • Shariah law: Though it includes a framework for societal constructs, Shariah is a societal and personal understanding, not a penal code. Shariah dictates Muslims abide by the laws of whichever country they live in, therefore American Muslims are bound to abide by the Constitution.

Emad Mohammad, who has a doctorate in religion from Exeter University in the United Kingdom, said many associate Shariah with violence and oppression because extremists subvert Islam to suit their political agendas.

“There’s no country in the world that applies Islamic law properly,” he said. “Saudi Arabia and Iran claim to be Islamic governments but no one believes that.”

Videos of stonings and other atrocities are spread on YouTube and by the media, Mohammad said, perpetuating misconceptions about what Shariah law actually says.

“Imagine someone from outside the U.S. watching the ‘Jerry Springer Show’ to learn about American culture,” Mohammad said.

“If that’s all they see, they’ll think it’s a barbaric culture.”

In February, the “Protect Our Muslim Neighbors” rally took place in Denver’s Civic Center park, and thousands of Coloradans of all faiths stood in solidarity. Jodeh, Poljakovic and Ben-Masaud were there, too.

“The fact that the majority were non-Muslims, to me, speaks volumes,” Jodeh said.

For Ben-Masaud, the event reinforced his belief that times like these are a test for those who want to see a world united in peace. He is inspired to reach out to more people, even those who may resist him, to free people — including fellow Muslims — from their echo chambers.

“I believe this was meant to be,” he said. “It’s a responsibility on us, and a test to see what we’re going to do.

We can turn our backs … or we can embrace the situation that we’re in and work together.”

After the incident with the rock at Jodeh’s mosque, the Young Democrats of Arapahoe County raised more than $3,500 for repairs. More than 1,000 people showed up to form a “circle of peace” around the mosque during Friday prayers that week.

Attendance at educational and cooking classes at the center has doubled from last year. School field trips, like the one from Mountain Ridge Middle School, continue to book reservations.

Jodeh invites anyone who wants to understand Islam to simply ask.

“I will come to your church, I will come to your dinner party,” she said.

Islamic leaders, officials in law enforcement and anti-discrimination groups all point out that “retaliatory attacks” against mosques and Muslim individuals tend to spike after terrorist attacks like those in Paris, San Bernadino, California, and Orlando, Florida, though there has been a steady increase in these incidents since 2014.

Jeremy Shaver, associate regional director for Anti-Defamation League, Mountain States Region, said anti-Muslim incidents are part of a “bothersome trend,” but reports of harassment against other minority groups — blacks, immigrants, Jews, refugees and the LGBT community, are also on the rise.

“It’s been across the board,” Shaver said. “I think we would be cautious not to draw too dark of a connecting line between (these incidents) and a single person, but since the campaign there’s been a climate in extremist political rhetoric that has enabled people to say and do these types of things.”

• Anti-Muslim bias incidents including assaults, employment discrimination, street harassment and unwarranted contact by law enforcement: 2015: 1,409 2016: 2,213 Source: Council on American Islamic Relations • Anti-Muslim hate groups in the United States nearly tripled in 2016, from 34 in 2015 to 101 in 2016, including two in Colorado.

Source: Southern Poverty Law Center • Hate crimes against Muslims reported to the FBI 2014: 154 2015: 257 Of the crimes reported in 2015, 91 were assaults, the highest number since 2001 (93).

Source: FBI, Pew Research Center “There are no stupid questions — I’ve heard it all.”

A recent interaction gives Poljakovic hope.

He and other local Islamic leaders had been renting an event center for meetings for months. A member of a cleaning crew, no stranger to them at that point, approached Poljakovic after overhearing attendants saying “assalamualaikum,” the standard Muslim greeting for “peace be upon you.”

“Where are you guys from?” he asked.

When Poljakovic told him they were Muslim, the man was shocked.

“You are just normal people,” he said to them, puzzled. And relieved.

Poljakovic smiled.

“I said, ‘Just give us a chance. We’ll show you that we’re just as normal as everybody else.’”

Majid Nader, left, Mutaz Said, center, and Imam ShemsAdeen Ben-Masaud pray inside the Masjid Ikhlas mosque in Northglenn. BenMasaud says the mayor of Northglenn aad other state and local officials have been working with him to spread understanding and information about Islam.

Stampede shows how West gets wild IF YOU GO

BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A parade, live music, bull riding, award-winning rodeo performances

The following are some highlighted events during the Elizabeth Stampede at Casey Jones Park in Elizabeth: Thursday, June 1—Concert (Joe Diffie with Runaway June) Friday, June 2 — 7 p.m. Xtreme Bulls Saturday, June 3 — 2 p.m. PRCA Rodeo Family Day Saturday, June 3 — 7 p.m. PRCA Rodeo Josh Peek of Pueblo charges on his horse during a calf-roping event at the 2016 Elizabeth Stampede.

COURTESY PHOTO and belt buckle awards are all in the lineup for the Stampede’s weekend of events.

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

“We have some excellent riders.

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

Glick was quick to second that statement.

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

On the night of June 2, 12 of the top 20 in the world will be competing at the Stampede.

After bull riding, “Barrel racing THANKS TO OUR PARADE SPONSOR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“This is our second annual concert

Sunday, June 4 — 2 p.m. PRCA Rodeo For more information, go to elizabethstampede.com that we’re putting on … Runaway June is the opening act,” Swisher said. “One of the girls who sings in the band is John Wayne’s granddaughter.”

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

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

“It’s new this year,” Swisher said.

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

Glick encourages everyone to arrive early if possible.

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

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

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

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

“Avoid buying your tickets late.

We generally sell out for the evening performances. Last year the Sunday afternoon nearly sold out,” she said. “I wouldn’t wait; buy tickets early.”

Tickets are available at Jill’s Feed in Elizabeth at 125 S. Tabor St. and at elizabethstampede.com.

Livestock show raises scholarship funds for 4-H and FFA members The June 3 event is free and open to the public

HOW TO PARTICIPATE For more information on 4-H scholarships, the 4-H council or the livestock show and registration, visit douglascountyextension. org.

show.

But the show is about more than raising scholarship funds, organizers say.

The event is also about tradition and preserving the county’s agricultural roots, said Sue Weinroth, a 4-H club leader in Sedalia who’s helping the Youth Council organize the June show.

“For me, it’s just encouraging people to embrace the history of the area,” she said.

Organizers of the 2017 Douglas County Junior Livestock Show are inviting 4-H members, Future Farmers of America members and the public to attend this year’s event, scheduled for June 3 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 410 Fairgrounds Road.

The show serves as a fundraiser for the 4-H Youth Council to generate scholarship money for college-bound 4-H students. Any 4-H or FFA member ages 8 to 18 showing goats, sheep or cattle may participate in the livestock

Noah VanBibber, who showed livestock as a 4-H youth and is helping the Youth Council organize the show, said it’s also an opportunity for kids to get their animals in the ring and practice before show time during the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in August.

“It actually means a lot,” VanBibber said of the show for 4-H and FFA students. “Not only does this help with the scholarships, it also helps with preparation for the show, which you need to do throughout the summer.”

FFA and 4-H members can sign up the day of the event, Weinroth said.

She estimates nearly 100 kids participated in last year’s show — an all-day event that starts with animal weigh-in at 7 a.m. and runs until the last animal has been shown.

“It’s kind of fun to see these kids,

what they do,” she said.

Participants, who pay to enter, spend the morning prepping their livestock for the day’s show and have spent long hours and sometimes money raising the animals, Weinroth said.

“All the way up until fair, these kids are grooming and maintaining and not only feeding their animals well, but maintaining their body, coat and structure,” VanBibber said.

Weinroth also hopes members of the general public will attend, even if they don’t have a 4-H or FFA connection.

“I just encourage people to bring especially their young kids down. It’s just an opportunity to see animals, touch animals,” Weinroth said. “It’s just a great way to introduce your kids to farm animals and farm life.”

Members of the Lutheran High School boys track team hold up their Class 3A team championship trophy and hold up four fingers signifying this is their fourth state title in a row during award ceremonies at the May 20-21 state championship track meet held at Jefferson County Stadium. The Lions earned 104 team points to finish first in the standings.

Lions boys win fourth title in a row

Lutheran boys finish first, girls fourth at state track meet

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Athletes wearing the distinctive “L” on their uniforms made regular trips to the awards podium as the Lutheran boys won their fourth Class 3A team title in a row and the girls finished fourth at the May 20 and 21 state track meet at Jefferson County Stadium.

“Today was a big day for both of our teams. It is special for the boys as they won their fourth state title. It was a good experience for the coaches too since we have been coaching many of these boys since they were freshmen,” Lutheran coach Darwin Horan said.

“On the boys side, we lose some good seniors to graduation but we only have one senior on our girls team, so we should be very strong again next year.”

The Lion boys team amassed 104 points to win the championship. The only individual event gold medals went to Jacob Dack, who won the shot put with a throw of 51 feet, 6.5 inches, and Adam Dawson, who won the discus with a throw of 203 feet, 1 inch.

Lutheran junior Maya Evans stands on the top step of the awards podium after winning the Class 3A girls 200-meter dash during the May 20-21 state championship track meet held at Jefferson County Stadium. Evans also finished first in the 100-meter dash and the long jump, plus she was a member of the Lions team that won the 4 x 100-meter relay.

However, the Lions piled up team points as athletes finished high in the standings in their events. For example, Dack was third in the discus and Dawson was fifth in the shot put.

In the 3A girls competition Lutheran junior Maya Evans earned a spot in the record books by finishing in four events, which is all the events allowed for an individual

Riley Darnell races to the finish line as she runs the anchor leg for the Lutheran High School girls 4 X 200-meter relay team during the May 20-21 state championship track meet held at Jefferson County Stadium. The Lions team finished fourth in the event, earning six team points as Lutheran girls finished fourth in the team standings.

athlete. In individual competition, she won the 100-meter dash (11.83 seconds), the 200-meter dash (29.35 seconds) and the long jump (19 feet, 6 inches). On May 21, she completed her winning streak as she joined forces with Madi Bottin, Riley Darnell and Nyah Streib to win the 4x100 relay in a state meet record time of 48.35.

“Yesterday was OK. I won

the long jump but I didn’t feel it was my best effort,” she said after winning the 100-meter dash on May 21. “Today, I felt I ran better and my 11.83 in the 100, which is a personal best for me. Running here at the state meet is exciting and the atmosphere plus other runners pushing me helped motivate me to push myself harder.”

She said she likes all the

events but her favorite is the long jump. In qualifying for the state meet, she recorded a jump of 21 feet, 10 inches.

“I feel long jump pushed me the most,” she said. “I guess that is because if I made a good jump on my first try but scratch that pushes me to make sure I don’t scratch the next time as I make an even better jump on the second try.”
