Lollipop Park plans get sidetracked

Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen is leaving to assume the top position in the Humble Independent School District in Texas, a district of 39,000 students about 20 miles Fagen outside of Houston.

“Humble ISD is an excellent school district — a great match for me personally and professionally,” she wrote in an email sent to district staff after the Humble school board confirmed her at its May 24 meeting as the finalist.

“And I am very grateful for the opportunity they have offered me.”

Town of Parker rules out use of land for amusement facility

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nathan Elinoff has been in the theme park business for 34 years and has a display case packed full of thank you notes to prove it. He currently operates the Lollipop Park indoor facility at Family Sports Center in Centennial.

But he has a bigger dream.

“We’re a hot dog stand, we want to be a full-service restaurant,” Elinoff said figuratively.

Elinoff and his wife and business partner, Louise, were planning to build an outdoor theme park on Parker Road south of Longs Way, where parents could ride the ferris wheel and carousel with their children. According to the Elinoffs, Mountain Man Fruit and Nut Co. was on board to sell concessions and White Fence Farms was prepared to open a restaurant on the premises.

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KATE BARNHART Mom enjoys hiking, backpacking, movies Keeping the kids active We have lived in Parker for three years and we think Parker is great for little kids.

There are a lot of parks, and we love our public library. We love our neighbors and we love this area. We’re excited about the new library opening and a new dog park.

The winter was a little rough because it was so cold, but we were able to go to local indoor play places, although they are all germ factories. We have two big dogs, two cats and two acres of land. We do a

lot of hiking and backpacking with the dogs and the kids around our subdivision.

Mainly, we just try to get them outside and enjoy the weather. Our 3-year-old can hike a mile.

Down time?

We have a fixer-upper house, so a lot of our free time goes into that, especially the kitchen area.

When my husband and I do have free time, we go to Southlands for movies because the seats actually recline and you can almost fall asleep in them. We like to go to Comedy Works, and we like to visit with family members. It gets expensive after paying a babysitter and paying for everything else. But we don’t get out all that often.

Favorites As for comendians, we like Josh Blue and Tom Papa. We recently saw the film “The Witch,” which was really creepy.

Council approves parking changes for special events The town council voted unanimously on May 16 to revise language in a parking ordinance to alleviate traffic and related problems in residential areas during special events.

The impetus for the change is the “Let Freedom Sing” event, held at Salisbury Park on July 4. Residents in the Horseshoe Ridge neighborhood have experienced a lack of parking space and heavy traffic during the event, as attendance has increased each year. In addition to the parking issues, town staff has expressed concern about the ability of emergency vehicles to access the area.

As a result of the revision, the chief of police will be able to restrict event access to the neighborhood through signage and dispense two guest parking permits to each household in the neighborhood.

Communications director Elise Pennington, who introduced the revision at the meeting, said the circumstances around the festival are unique, since the area north of the park that would normally be available for parking is used for fireworks fallout during the celebration on July 4.

The revision will allow the chief of police to issue permits and restrict areas for other special events in the future.

County clerk stresses benefits of mail-in ballots As the senatorial primary election and the presidential election approach, Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz wants residents to spend less time in line at polling places.

In an email, Klotz said the easiest way for voters to make their choice is by utilizing mail ballots. He added that residents can return ballots by mail or drop them off at 10 locations around the county.

“Mail ballots have proven to be a very secure and convenient improvement to the process,” Klotz said. “Verification of ballot envelope signature and immediate confirmation of ballot receipt against a central statewide database mitigate attempts at fraudulent voting.”

Ballots may be returned as much as 20

days before an election.

Klotz said 99 percent of Douglas County voters returned ballots via mail or the drop boxes in 2015, versus 1 percent that went to the polls in person.

The county has 230,462 registered voters as of April 2016, 42,000 of whom are new to the area and may not be aware of the option to mail in or drop off ballots.

Instructions for returning ballots by mail and drop-off locations will be included with ballots. Voters can also visit DouglasVotes.com for more information.

Rotary Club selects Student of the Quarter On May 11, Legend High School junior Presley Batchelor won the honor of Student of the Quarter from the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club.

“Presley is tenacious and persistent,” said Principal Jason Jacob. “If there are barriers or walls she finds ways to go through them or work around them in a very professional manner. Simply put, she is a difference maker and true leader.”

Presley and a friend organized a teacher survey program as part of her work with the Distributive Education Clubs of America organization. The pair also suggested solutions, based on survey results, for retaining Douglas County School District teachers.

Presley is a member of the Spanish National Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America and will serve as president of Legend’s DECA chapter next year.

Officials warn about crimes of opportunity In a news release, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office gave residents advice on avoiding crimes of theft.

“Crimes of opportunity,” in which a perpetrator hadn’t planned a crime but takes advantage of a situation that presents itself, are common in Douglas County, according to the release.

Police warn residents to make sure garage doors are closed, even when working in the yard or relaxing inside the house.

Other tips for avoiding theft from automobiles include placing valuables in the trunk of the car, limiting and concealing personal items left in the car and always closing windows and locking doors.

Foster parents make difference in children’s lives Collaborative program matches homes with kids

HOW YOU CAN HELP

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

• Listen to the foster parent.

• Help out at the foster parent’s home during busy times, such as after school.

Kelly Mayr has five birth children, three adopted children and one foster child.

So the month of May, which is National Foster Care month, resonates with her.

She’s been a foster parent for about five years and, in that time, some 15 children have passed through her home.

“Once you know there’s a need, it’s hard not to foster,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “And there is a need all over.”

Mayr fosters through the Collaborative Foster Care Program, a joint effort to help children in the departments of human services of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

On average, 1,100 children in the three counties are in out-of-home care on any given day, according to the program. Forty percent are teenagers. All have experienced trauma and almost all have special needs, including emotional, behavioral, medical or developmental.

The Collaborative Foster Care Program started with Arapahoe and Jefferson counties in 2008 to maximize staff and reach a broader range of potential foster families, said Ruby Richards, the Douglas County child welfare administrator.

“By joining the collaborative, we had a team of people that did the recruiting, training and monthly contact with all of our foster homes,” she said. Today, “we have a staff of about 15 to 20 that manage everything.”

A ‘vulnerable time’ in children’s lives In 2012, Douglas County joined the program so that it could expand its foster resources. As of May, Douglas County had 112 children who had been placed into foster homes. The Parker zip codes of 80134 and 80138, along with 80130 in Highlands Ranch and 80104 in Castle Rock, had the highest number of children removed from their homes, according to program statistics.

Department of Human Services will remove a child from his or her home because of neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or medical neglect.

“Everything that they are familiar with has been ripped away in this incredibly vulnerable time of their life,” said Kala Slater, recruiter for the Collaborative Foster Care Program.

A caseworker then conducts an assessment and, if necessary, the child is placed in a temporary out-of-care home. The birth family works through a treatment plan with the ultimate goal of reunification, Slater said.

“When foster families come to us, we want to get a better understanding of what they are willing to go through to reunify,” she said. “Eighty to 90 percent of the time, kids are reunified with their (birth) families.”

Mayr fostered one of her daughters before adopting her. In her case, reunification wasn’t possible, she said. Her

• Bring a home-cooked meal to the foster family.

• Become a respite babysitter with certification to watch foster children.

• Support foster families in the community.

daughter’s birth parents couldn’t provide a permanent home.

Mayr saw no other choice but to adopt.

“You do fall in love,” she said.

parents must be able to “shut the bedroom door,” Mayr said, because the child will come with baggage — literal and emotional.

Through her experiences, Mayr has learned to be less judgmental.

“Meeting people whose lives are a lot harder is eye-opening,” she said. “It’s helped me learn to work with a lot of different personalities.”

The foster family certification process takes about four to five months. Applicants must attend an information night followed by pre-application work, preservice training, an application, first aid and CPR certification, a home study and final approval.

“It takes a long time for people to commit and find out if this is the right path that they want to take,” Slater said.

Because the foster family’s role is to provide a temporary home, there needs to be support of reunification and the willingness to work closely with the child’s birth family, Slater said. This often means planning visits more than once a week.

The foster family’s role Fostering isn’t for everyone. Foster

Other ways to help On average, a child is placed with a

They need you to get attached. We do feel like our children are entitled to their stories, even if they aren’t pretty.”

If a family isn’t ready to foster, there are other ways to help. Community members can support by listening, providing meals or helping out at the foster home during busy periods, such as after school.

“There are a million ways that people can support fostering without being a foster parent,” Richards said.

Mayr’s friends provided meals, extra clothes and helped paint a bedroom. It’s like having a newborn, Mayr said.

She also encourages those who want to help to become respite caregivers, or certified babysitters for foster children, which provides time off for foster parents to rest and recharge.

And developing relationships with other foster parents is crucial, Mayr said: It helps to have a village when navigating the foster care world.

Above all, fostering provides stability during a vulnerable time in a child’s life.

Mayr’s had her fair share of tears when a child comes and goes, but that is part of the process.

“Even if it hurts, you need to get attached,” Mayr said. “They need you to get attached.”

Park

Continued from Page 1

They had designs for landscaping and an $8.2 million business loan to purchase rides.

But a change to zoning codes for the area, approved by town council on May 2, means the Elinoffs’ dream will have to wait.

Mike Conner, vice president of Mountain Man Fruit and Nut Co. in Parker, owns the lot the Elinoffs wanted to buy at 10655 S. Parker Road. He was prepared to sell the land, but wanted to avoid any complications, so he recommended presenting the idea to the town before submitting a plan.

“I didn’t want Nathan to get into a contract he couldn’t get out of,” Conner said.

Community Development Director John Fussa and other officials met with Conner on March 11, and it didn’t go well for Conner or the Elinoffs.

“We were a little baffled,” Conner said.

“The way our property was zoned, (a theme park) was an acceptable use.”

At the meeting, Fussa said the town had already been working to remove “assembly use” from the list of acceptable uses for property in that section of town.

Assembly use specifies a use that is primarily for people to gather in a location, such as a church, a school or, in this case, an amusement park. The area, according to Fussa and other officials, is best suited for retail development that will generate revenue for the town.

Nathan Elinoff said he was “devastated” by the decision.

“They pulled the rug out from under us,” he said.

An emergency ordinance was introduced to town council on March 21, effectively preventing any new submissions for permits in the zone for 90 days while council considered removing assembly use for the area. The next time the issue was officially considered was a town council meeting on May 2, when the council voted to remove assembly use from the code.

Conner and the Elinoffs question the timing of the council’s decision. Fussa said it was “coincidental” that the town

Mike Conner, vice president of Mountain Man Nut and Fruit Co., sits in his office in Parker on May 11. Conner said he took his children to Nathan Elinoff’s Funtastic Fun indoor amusement park in Englewood and he was ready to sell his property on Parker Road to Elinoff. Photo by Tom Skelley moved to change the property’s zoning at the same time the Elinoffs and Conner proposed their idea, and that he informed them that the town was already looking at changing the zoning.

“We were already monitoring and talking internally about our concern over assembly uses in that area,” Fussa said.

But Conner isn’t convinced.

“It was interesting to me that we showed up with a plan and the next meeting (the council) had a plan to remove the use,” he said.

Mayor Mike Waid reiterated Fussa’s statement that the town had been working toward changing the use of the high-traffic area for “a number of years.” He said citizens look to elected officials to find the best use of any property, for the present and future, and the best use for that land is retail development that will provide economic benefits for Parker. Waid added that other institutions, including a church, have also been prohibited from setting up shop in the area.

“The ordinance the town put in place wasn’t to ban amusement parks,” Waid said. “It’s not like town council set out to eliminate a specific usage Parker-wide.”

Fussa reiterated Waid’s statement about retail development. He said the town has to consider factors like year-round employment, retail sales tax and “economic multipliers,” or how a business will attract consumers who will patronize other businesses while in the area.

Both Waid and Fussa said Lollipop Park, which would be closed eight to nine months out of the year, didn’t provide the economic benefits a retail development would bring. Waid also said that, considering tax can only be collected from retail sales, not admission fees, the numbers just weren’t there.

But the Elinoffs disagree. They said while the park would be open only in summer, the restaurant and concessions would be open year-round, generating sufficient sales tax revenue to justify the use.

“Why are they telling us how much money we’re going to make?” Nathan Elinoff said.

He added that his previous businesses, Funtastic Fun and Physical Whimsical, had been profitable and, based on numbers from other parks around the United States, he is certain a Lollipop Park in Parker would have attracted tens of thousands of families. To him, the idea of choosing another shopping center over a theme park doesn’t make sense.

“Everything about it is beautiful but they want to replace it with another asphalt parking lot and shopping center,” he said.

For his part, Conner said he believes Fussa to be a “straight-up individual” and he trusts that the zoning decision was done with the best interests of the town in mind. His concern, he said, is that zoning changes implemented by the local government can affect the amount of control landowners have over their own property.

“I understand it’s hard for the town to keep order and balance and put zoning where it needs to be,” Conner said. “But it’s unfortunate because sometimes these decisions seem to trample on the property rights of others.”

Both Waid and Fussa said the town offered to compromise and help the Elinoffs find another location in Parker for Lollipop Park. Waid went so far as to say he liked the idea of having a theme park for families in the town, provided the location is suitable.

“In terms of having a use like Lollipop Park in Parker, that’d be sweet,” Waid said.

“I think it’s a pretty cool idea, I think it’s unique … I think there’s lots of opportunity for it.”

Fussa agreed.

“We believe there’s a place for an amusement use like Lollipop Park, whether it’s them or not, in town,” Fussa said. “We offered to work with Nathan on finding an appropriate … location for his use or business … That offer still stands.”

“It’s not an offer, it’s an insult,” Nathan Elinoff said, adding that he feels the council is trying to “throw us in the back” of the town.

He said he won’t take the town up on the compromise, and he used three other words to explain why: “Location, location, location.”

‘Creating a community around food’ Parker restaurants turn to organic suppliers for better ingredients

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shelly Rosnik didn’t have anywhere to eat. So she opened a restaurant.

For Rosnik, a longtime vegan, dining out often meant her menu options were limited to French fries. She envisioned a place where meat-eaters, vegetarians, gluten-free diners and people with other nutritional needs could sit down and eat together.

Her vision just became reality.

On April 15, The Gnarly Root opened its doors, providing Rosnik the space she needed to bring the same carefully-selected foods she eats at home to the public.

Just as in her own kitchen, anything she dishes up at the restaurant needs to be fresh, local and sustainable.

And she’s not alone. As the farm-totable, non-GMO and organic trends have become popular throughout the United States, local eateries have been at the forefront of bringing natural ingredients and healthy food to the people of Parker.

“It’s all local and organic — they have to have farming practices that are environmentally sustainable,” Rosnik said of her suppliers. “They’re not draining the resources out of the soil.”

The farms she buys from — in Kiowa, Simla, Elizabeth, Gunnison, Eagle and other places around the state — use bats instead of chemicals to control insects and employ conservation techniques to preserve water and soil.

Rosnik’s suppliers take the same approach to meat and fish as they do to vegetables. Cattle and bison are fed organic grass and are processed separately, keeping the meat from being tainted with

Photo by Tom Skelley adrenaline. Fish are sourced from an Alamosa fish farm that gives fish space to swim.

“They have to raise their animals humanely from birth to processing,” Rosnik said. “They’re happy cows, happy bison…

Even at processing, their happy days just end. They’re not shipped off to some feed lot and put into that fear and that distress.

They’re processed apart from the other animals, so they never see it coming and the other animals aren’t fearful.”

Demand increasing for natural alternatives According to Rosnik, awareness of the potential risks of eating genetically modified produce and feed lot meats is driving consumers to explore more natural options, and leading them to her dining room.

“Eating healthy and people wanting to have colorful food on their plates… there’s a lot more need, and room, for it,” she said. “We are busy every single day.”

Neil Fischer is seeing an uptick in business, too. He supplies grass-fed, humanely raised meat from his farms to lo-

cal restaurants like the Parker Garage. He said the demand for his product increases between 16 and 18 percent each year as consumers seek out natural alternatives to factory farms.

“We’re willing to do what it takes to set up something that’s really authentic,” Fischer said.

In addition to supplying restaurants with high-quality food, Fischer works with other farmers to create food cooperatives around the state. “We’re working with farms in Salida and Gunnison to bring the food-to-table experience to local communities like Parker.”

Fischer can be found downtown Sunday mornings, talking with Brent Walker, owner of the Parker Garage. The restaurant uses meat from Fischer’s farms in its menu, and each Sunday it opens its rolling doors to host The Farm2Table Trading Post, a venue for Fischer and other local farmers to come together with consumers.

Walker gets pork bellies, beef and bison from Fischer, but he said he has always explored ways to obtain the freshest products on the menu. The chef, Duy Pham, even raised chickens and quail for the Garage on a farm in Elizabeth until demand and incapacitating snowstorms forced him to use other local farmers.

Food Continued from Page 7

‘A community around food’ Walker wants to take the concept beyond the restaurant’s doors and into customers’ homes. He would like to set up tasting booths during the markets to allow consumers to try nuts, jams, meats and vegetables and order them directly from local suppliers. Walker said he views his menu as a way to “develop a food supply chain” in which customers will try an entrée at his restaurant and, if they like it, order the food directly from Fischer thereafter.

“We’re creating a community around food,” Walker said.

The outdoor farmers’ market in Parker is where Rich Esper, owner and head chef at Elevation, does a lot of his shopping.

Esper estimated he buys between 70 and 75 percent of his produce from the market between May and October. He creates specials on the menu that only last a few days to accommodate the short shelf life of vegetables grown without preservative modifications.

But the term “organic” doesn’t just apply to Esper’s food.

“Where we really focus our approach to sustainability and organics is our wine,” Esper said. “Ninety-five percent of our wines are Old World wines which

come from Spain, Italy or France, and they’ve been doing organic practices and non-GMO practices for hundreds of years, not because it was the `in’ thing to do — it wasn’t a trend — it’s just how they always had done it.”

The winemakers he buys from don’t use insecticides or modify their soil simply because they’ve never had to, Esper said. He noted that many people who complain of headaches from drinking wine have a different reaction when they try an organic wine without artificiallyadded sulfites. His suppliers, he said, sacrifice profit for pride, and for the product.

“Would they get more yield if they introduced pesticides and herbicides?”

Esper said. “Probably, but it’s not even a consideration because they know that something you do today affects what comes out of the ground tomorrow.”

The ground is the starting point for organic, healthy ingredients. For the produce used at the Gnarly Root, it’s also where they return. Rosnik takes vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and biodegradable leftovers from the kitchen to her home where she uses them as compost.

Like Walker and Esper, Rosnik said she is always trying to look for the latest techniques to bring healthy, tasty food to her customers while supporting innovative, organic and sustainable farming practices.

“If it’s there and we learn about it,” she said, “we’re going to try and make that happen.”

Right problem may be no problem Really, is there any such thing as a good problem? I mean if we have a problem it is a problem, right?

Of course there are real problems that need very real solutions. But there are also problems that could easily be turned into opportunities, and there are problems that are indeed very good problems. Even problems or challenges that become opportunities need to be managed correctly in order to convert the opportunity into an achievement or success story.

And then there are the good problems.

Those are the problems that also require a solid solution or proactive strategy or they too can quickly move from being a good problem to a very bad problem or crisis if not managed carefully and properly.

Let’s look at just a couple of examples of what those good problems might look like. One such example may be that you have been a victim of “downsizing” or “right sizing” at work and have found yourself unemployed. However, you have been given a very lucrative severance package and you have more new job offers than you know what to do with. With each new day, another job offer seems to come your way. The good problem is that you are making money from your severance and you have opportunities ahead of you. How this turns into a bad problem is when you get comfortable not working, or procrastinate on your decision-

making about which new job opportunity to take, and before you know it the money is gone and so are the offers.

Another good problem could be that you own a business and have more customers than you can possibly serve. Money is Michael Norton coming in, cash flow is good, customers and WINNING employees are happy, WORDS and you are enjoying your vacation time. If you watch the Food Network or happen to catch any of those restaurant shows where they have to do a makeover or fix the business, many of those owners had a very good problem at one time, they had more customers than they could serve. Before they knew it, quality suffered, service slowed down, chefs and servers walked off the job, and the ownership ended up in crisis mode. Enough of a crisis mode where they had to invite in a restaurant consultant and television show to help them re-establish their brand and credibility or risk losing everything they had worked so hard for.

You see, there really are good problems

in life. But the word “problem” is still there.

And as stated earlier, every problem, good or bad, needs a solution. My Uncle Harry used to always say, “Nothing is so bad it couldn’t be worse, and there is nothing so good that it couldn’t be better.” Just another way of saying, we have to manage all the situations, challenges and opportunities in our lives or they will become a problem.

So the next time you are explaining a situation to someone and they say, “Well that’s a good problem to have,” instead of taking pride in that good problem, it should put you on alert. And instead of sitting back and getting caught in the comfort zone, the first thing you should do is pay attention to the word “problem” and figure out a plan and strategy to keep that good problem train chugging along or have a clear path to get the train back on the tracks of consistency.

Problems are easy, solutions take work.

How about you, have you ever been in a “good problem” situation? What did you do about it or what are you doing about it?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we turn our good problems into even better opportunities, it really will be a better than good week.

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

Please do me a favor. Get a haircut.

Get two.

Our hairstyles in the 1960s were awful, but forgivable.

For the very first time, the focus was on young Americans and not on our Craig Marshall Smith parents.

QUIET We did OK, but DESPERATION there was a lot of hair.

Remember?

Clothing was awful too. Bellbottoms. Say no more, say no more.

The 1970s and the 1980s were just as bad.

But it was different. We should have known better by then, but most of us didn’t Women all looked like the Mandrell sisters or the Murphy Brown cast.

In music, there were “hair bands.”

Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Poison.

Kiss. And Gene Simmons still has that hair.

It’s a shoe polish helmet.

Ann and Nancy Wilson were sisters, but they weren’t twisted.

But Heart was a hair band too.

I was crazy on Nancy (the blonde).

There are photographs of me that I have tried to repress.

It never got completely out of hand, but my look somewhat embarrasses me now.

There were people and performers who seemed to get it right.

Robert Palmer — remember “Addicted to Love”? — always looked dapper.

The rest of us had hair over our ears, and collars the size of paper airplanes.

Women wore shoulder pads. And other things.

Leg warmers.

A farewell to ‘my closest outdoors companion’ The first 10 days of May were difficult: Each day seemed more increasingly arduous for her. Then came that quiet morning when she passed. After a long life, aging and declining health took control, and I surrendered my closest outdoors companion.

Aspen was past her 15th birthday — a blessing of a long life in itself.

She still looked forward to our evening walks — however shorter or slower-paced.

She continued to follow me about the house — to stay close.

I felt the strength of her eyes with a wondering expression — questioning why she was weaker.

Expressions were almost apologetic — when her appetite was waning.

I knew she still wanted to make that ride in the Jeep — closeness for both of us. She would give me a clear look for help — to make that step from the porch into the house — and expressions of appreciation when her legs needed support.

During these days, however, there were no apologies, only, seemingly, an acceptance of her aging and declining strength.

The weakness, diminished level of activity, physical changes and longer time in sleep gradually accelerated over the past three years. I saw it and felt it creeping into

Aspen’s life and into mine. The change was difficult to witness, but I resolved to alter our time together, to keep her active, support her health and adjust our routines.

Pet owners can struggle with that change, sometimes Ron Hellbusch to the extent of failing to see the need for OUTDOOR accommodation pets LIVING require. It occurred to me the gradual aging process for our pets can be so similar to that of aging parents, family or friends — or literally our own lives. Yet regardless, each deserves the same sensitivity, attention, time, patience and support.

Yellow labs are sizable and sturdy, but when they cannot get themselves into our vehicles, they deserve a ramp or a lift so that they never are ignored or left behind. Walks should become a slower and more patient experience to provide a quality of life they deserve. Close attention and observation of Hellbusch continues on Page 11

Flags get retired with proper respect Boy Scout Troop 88 lays U.S. flags to rest

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dennis Yost wanted the Boy Scouts in Troop 88 to understand why the American flag deserves to be treated, and disposed of, with respect.

“I wanted them to know that it’s a living entity,” Yost said. “Just like the United States is a living entity and the Constitution is a living thing. (The flag) grows, and it changes, just like the country.”

The troop burned more than 200 battered, faded and torn flags as part of a two-hour retirement ceremony on March 12 at the South Metro Fire Rescue training facility at 17801 E. Plaza Drive, Parker.

The purpose was to dispose of the old flags with dignity, and by all accounts the troop succeeded.

The flags were given to the Scouts from citizens and businesses in the Parker area.

The largest was 15 feet by 30 feet. Four Scouts carried each flag to the fire and gave a final salute before carefully placing them on the fire, ensuring the field of blue burned last.

Yost, whose own son, Brian, is an Eagle Scout, said he’s been “in and out” of the Boy Scouts for over 40 years. He told the boys the flag has seen many incarnations, including at least 36 revisions between 1777 and 1912, when the patterns and dimensions were officially specified.

Scoutmaster Paul Brown agreed with Yost that the flag is an entity all its own.

He echoed Yost’s sentiment that the flag is a living entity that deserves a dignified sendoff.

“The retirement is something of a funeral,” Brown said.

The Boy Scouts of America handbook states that “worn, faded, torn or soiled” flags should be replaced with a new flag.

Old flags can be disposed of or recycled depending on the cost and feasibility of either method. Other ways to dispose of flags

I think I know what happens.

We find a hairstyle that we like, and we stick with it.

I look now like I did when I was in Little League.

I have a crew cut.

A “crew cut” gets its name from the short hair that crew members had. Less wind resistance.

Maintaining it is a snap.

I dare you to people watch, and keep track of the men and women — mostly the women — who could use a haircut.

I still see hair that amounts to amber waves of fluffed-out locks.

Ginger Rogers, bless her.

She was a beauty in the 1940s.

She held on to her look through the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s.

She died in 1995 at the age of 83. She was still a platinum blonde with a surfeit of makeup.

Generally, we can fool our hair into thinking we’re still in our 20s, 30s and 40s, but we can’t fool our skin.

Some try. You do recall Joan Rivers?

I’m to blame. Men are to blame. We don’t

food types and changes in body functions can require accommodation.

Unlike humans, the pain that comes with weakening hips, shoulders or body organs typically is not always apparent to us. So that requires periodic veterinarian examinations and, possibly, medication.

When our companion’s health changes, it is our call to adjust, to be sure the unconditional love they bring into our lives is

Brown said the flag is not to be soiled or modified, and the best way to ensure that is for the flags be consumed by the fire and reduced completely to ashes.

Scout Danny Flesner said the ceremony reinforced his sense of patriotism.

“It made me feel proud that we’re doing this for our country,” Flesner said.

The lesson Yost and Brown bestowed on

let women age gracefully.

Ashley Madison and others are out to take us away from our wives and girlfriends.

Of course, some women want to look like Charo.

Charo is 75. There is not one thing on her that looks 75.

I am not the one to ask.

I am opposed to beauty pageants and fashion shows and ogling red carpet get-ups.

Las Vegas showgirls are about as far away as it gets from my definition of beauty.

Eye makeup by trowel only worked for Cleopatra and Amy Winehouse.

If a woman and I are headed out to dinner, and it takes her 90 minutes to get ready, it will be our last supper.

Let me summarize.

Get a haircut.

Your next one might be on me.

Send me an email. In 100 words or less, tell me why you badly need an updated hairstyle.

I will see that the winner is taken care of at an area establishment.

Unless I lose my grip (see: Howard Hughes), I will never have long hair again.

There are always exceptions.

Try to imagine Einstein with a crew cut.

extended back in their care and comfort.

A friend of mine who had a long line of Golden retrievers in his life observed that “when we bring a pet into our lives we need to be aware we will most certainly live past their days and we must be willing to provide compassionate support as their lives fade.”

Those sunrises over the duck blind, the decoy days on the river, flushing birds from the fields and the high mountain hikes will be very different. But the memories will remind me of my good fortune in having had that special companionship with Aspen.

Outdoors writer Ron Hellbusch can be reached at Ron-Hellbusch@comcast.net.

Troop 88 resonated, even after the flames had gone out.

“I just liked how we respectfully retired

the flag,” scout Ryan Milerowski said. “It’s great to be part of something that honors and respects our troops.”

She married Kenneth Modenbach in 1984 in Columbus, Ohio, and moved to Denver, Colorado, soon after. She continued working for Nationwide in Denver until 2000. Always wanting to continue learning, she studied music/voice and psychology at Kent State University from 1967–69.

While at Kent State, she was in the concert choir and was a Little Sister of Kappa Sigma. Terry graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from The Women’s College of the University of Denver in 1998.

Terry will be remembered by her loved ones and friends as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who was always quick with encouragement and ready to lend a hand.

A talented seamstress, Terry loved sewing and made both her daughters’ wedding dresses. She also loved listening to birds sing and built a backyard oasis to attract wildlife to their yard.

Terry left her family a priceless gift: a genealogical legacy that contains thousands of records of personal family stories.

Her love of discovering her family’s history took to her to Salt Lake Family History Library several times where she spent countless hours, as well as to several genealogical societies in rural Ohio towns. Terry loved sharing her knowledge about how to conduct this research with others by serving as the former vice president and board member of the Castle Rock Genealogy Society.

Terry was blessed with a beautiful soprano voice and sang for many years in the choir at Parker Evangelical Presbyterian

Church, where she was also ordained as a deacon.

She played piano and sang the hymns that she loved and that the congregation loved as well. A devout Christian, Terry is now using her voice to rejoice in the choir of Heaven.

Loved and respected by her family and friends, Terry is survived by her husband of 31 years, Kenneth Jeffrey Modenbach, of Parker, Colorado; sister, Vicky Lynn (James) Ruble, of Mansfield, Ohio; brother, Douglas Emig, of Naples, Florida; daughters, Lisa Marie Cirincione (former spouse, Michael Vanzant), Debra Lynn (Steven) Vanzant; and granddaughters, Kaylin Marie and Abigail Jayne Vanzant.

Terry was preceded in death by her mother and father, Nadeska (Thomas) who died in 2001 and Stanley Emig who died in 2011; and her first husband, Andrew Paul Cirincione, who died in 2007.

There will be a public viewing beginning at 1:00 on Tuesday, May 24, at Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 9030 Miller Rd, Parker, CO 80138, with a service to celebrate her life beginning at 2:00 followed by a reception and light refreshments before traveling to the J.S. Parker Cemetery, 10375 S Parker Rd, Parker, Colorado 80134 for her interment.

Continued from Page 1

Fagen, hired by the Douglas County School Board in 2010, said in her email she expects to leave by mid-July. Texas law requires a 21-day waiting period between naming of the lone finalist and the school board’s final approval. That vote would come on June 14.

Fagen attended the May 24 meeting in Humble with her husband and two daughters.

DCSD Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn praised Fagen’s accomplishments.

“Dr. Fagen has led many changes and improvements in the past six years …,” Silverthorn said in a news release sent the evening of May 24 by the school district.

“We’re grateful for her tireless service and commitment to education. We wish her and her family all the best in her future endeavors.”

But many teachers and parents have blamed Fagen and the school board majority for policies that caused widespread low morale and led to an exodus of teachers and administrators over the past several years.

Controversial initiatives included a new teacher-evaluation system and marketbased pay salary structure. The district is in the midst of legal challenges surrounding its attempt to create a voucher system. During her tenure, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union. And the hashtag #firefagen has been used widely on social media for more than a year.

“In 2009, the Douglas County Board of Education undertook the re-invention of American education and subsequently hired Superintendent Fagen to further their goal,” said board member Wendy Vogel who, along with David Ray and Anne-Marie Lemieux, was elected in November on a platform critical of district and board policies. “I think that her resignation is a clear indication that their reform agenda is not working.”

Ray said he had mixed emotions about Fagen’s departure.

“I believe she was placed in an extremely difficult position of carrying out the edicts of the previous board. Unfortunately, her

past six years have been marred by turmoil due to the ill-advised nature of the board’s actions,” Ray said. “Fortunately, the superintendent’s resignation will continue the process of restoring trust in our district. My hope is that senior board members will follow the superintendent’s example of doing whatever is necessary to continue building trust — even when it means sacrificing the self for the sake of our learners.”

Douglas County Parents, an organization formed in 2013 over concerns about the district’s policies, called Fagen’s move a step toward mending rifts between the community and district.

“The results of the school board election last November were quite clear, showing the community does not support ‘reform,’ “ Jason Virdin, spokesman for the organization, said in a statement. “We are anxious to start the healing process in Douglas County and hope the board majority will back up their recent assertions with action — gathering and considering significant, substantial community and staff input while searching for a new superintendent.”

Fagen’s strategic plan, as described on the school district website, highlights safety, school choice, world-class education, 21st century skills and system performance as its priorities.

Fagen for improving student and staff safety in schools, building a strong network with home schools and charter schools and “empowering teachers to create inspiring… curriculum units.”

Before coming to Douglas County, Fagen was superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona.

Fagen, whose salary is $273,715, is moving to a district a little more than half the size of Douglas County, which has more than 67,000 students and about 80 schools.

It is Colorado’s third largest district.

Chosen from among 43 applicants in a nationwide search, Fagen will replace outgoing Superintendent Guy Sconzo, who is retiring after 15 years with the Humble district. According to its website, the district has 43 campuses, 5,000 employees and is among the 25 fastest-growing school districts in Texas. It is the 31st largest district in the state.

“We are excited about getting the best education mind in the country,” said Humble school board president Robert Sitton about Fagen. “It’s powerful what she is going to be able to do. When people talk about education, we want them to say, ‘You really need to go see what Humble ISD is doing.’ She is, in our opinion, the leader to take us there.

She is innovative, visionary and not afraid to take risks if it enhances education.”

School district focused on hiring interim superintendent

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com An interim superintendent for the Douglas County School District will be named before the departure of Elizabeth Fagen, which is targeted for mid-July, board of education President Meghann Silverthorn said.

The interim superintendent would lead the district into the upcoming school year while a longer search takes place for a permanent replacement.

“My experience, and my experience observing other districts, is that it does take longer (than by the start of the school year) because that would mean having someone in place

by August,” Silverthorn said, “and that is a very, very short time frame.”

Silverthorn said she hopes to find someone familiar with the staff, students and the community to serve in the interim — someone “with the heart of a servant who is a leader and understands our community.”

The board of education will meet to discuss the next steps and determine what qualities they are looking for in a new superintendent. Any appointment would be done at a public meeting. The next scheduled board meeting is June 26.

Local Korean War veterans honored Three Douglas County residents receive medals to show gratitude

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com Joy. Disbelief. Honor.

Mixed emotions were felt by the three Douglas County veterans who received medals May 17 at the Castle Rock American Legion meeting for their service during the Korean War. “I didn’t think anybody even remembered us,” said Hal NewVille, a Lone Tree resident who served as a combat engineer with the Army.

NewVille and Castle Rock residents George Franicevic and Jim Redmond are the newest recipients of the Korean Ambassador for Peace Medal, which was created by the South Korean government as a way to thank the American servicemen and women who served in the Korean War

in the 1950s.

“These men went through a lot,” said Jim McGibney, the honorary consul of the Republic of Korea, who awarded the medal on behalf of Korea. “It was a tough war. It was probably one of our toughest and they came through it, they prevailed.”

Along with the medals, the men received an official proclamation from the South Korean government thanking them for their service.

Redmond served as a weapons system specialist in the Air Force for the first jets based in Thailand. The planes he armed flew over Korea during the liberation of South Korea.

Franicevic entered the draft in 1952 and was stationed in Louisville, Kentucky prior to deployment. He served in the U.S. Military Police during the Korean War. “I haven’t felt this way before,” Franicevic said, wiping tears from his eyes. “We just did our job.”

Dishes to share, friendships to make It started with a lid

Tapas-style dining not only a culinary experience

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

K

ayla Nilges and three friends visited Acres Restaurant in Englewood recently because they wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day while sharing a sampling of tapas — small plates of food meant to be shared.

“I think tapas-style dining is a great idea,” Nilges said. “You get to taste a lot of different dishes and then go back for more of the one you like. It is a very social time as we talk about the different dishes and, of course, about a lot of other things.”

Nilges isn’t the only one enjoying the increasingly popular trend of eating tapas.

Acres is just one of numerous restaurants in the South Metro area that offer them. Some, like the Centennial restaurant Tapas D’ Jerez, make their food genre clear by its name. Others, such as Acres and Fireside Bar & Grill in the Denver Tech Center, let their customers spread the word once they’ve visited.

The popularity of the dining style is in the congenial ambience it creates, its fans say.

“Tapas, for us, is a way for our customers to experience many different flavors that stimulate the palate,” said John Benson, who opened Acres a year ago.

“Stimulating the palate also stimulates conversation, so it is a social event. There are several dishes on the table. The diners are sharing the food from each dish. As they experience the tastes, they talk about the food they are eating as well as what is going on in their lives.”

According to historians, tapas date back centuries to when innkeepers offered small sample plates to travelers because most couldn’t read menus. Popular in Spain for hundreds of years, tapas eventually migrated to other countries in Europe and to the United States.

A New York Times article in 1997 talked of the steady increase in the number of

A staff member explains the menu, including the tapas items, to customers new to Acres Restaurant in Englewoood. A tapas selection is a small plate of food. The idea is for diners to order several tapas dishes and share the items. establishments offering tapas. It even proposed the idea that tapas eating was becoming a substitute for the traditional restaurant dining experience.

In December 2014, a story on Gourmetmarketing.net explored how the tapas trend was revolutionizing restaurant practices. According to the article, the trend grew as the public’s focus on healthier eating resulted in restaurants reducing calories and portions of menu items.

Locally, tapas menus appeared in restaurants like the 9th Door Tapas Bar and Restaurant that opened in downtown Denver several years ago.

Charlie Winters joined five friends at the 9th Door downtown location on Blake Street earlier this month.

“We come here often,” the Denver resident said. “The food is great and there is a great atmosphere. We have menu favorites, but we usually order one or two items new to us. It is just a great way to spend a few hours with friends.”

Tapas’ rich Spanish origins are evident at Tapas D’ Jerez, 8236 S. Holly St. in Centennial. The walls are decorated with art depicting Spanish customs and the menu is in Spanish with English explanations.

The restaurant and wine bar features a happy hour special of two-for-one tapas.

Highlands Ranch resident Sandi Thompson works in the area and frequently meets friends at the Tapas D’ Jerez because they like the food and dining style.

But not all tapas restaurants feature strictly Spanish cuisine.

For example, Acres features a wide variety of creations, ranging from buttermilk biscuits and Colorado honey butter and the chef’s own version of tater tots, which are potato nuggets with bacon, cheddar and garlic and chive aioli.

The menu also includes featured entrees. Every dish is made fresh, from scratch, he said. Items go on and off the menu depending on whether he can get fresh ingredients for the dish.

At Acres, Benson is a hands-on owner: He greets customers as they arrive, mixes beverages and serves meals to the tables.

“I like to ask people when they come in if they are here to party and have a good time,” he said with a smile. “The idea is to share the food on the plates, have a beverage or two and enjoy socializing with those at the table. I do all I can to promote that atmosphere.”

Tapas, defined as small plates of food to be shared and enjoyed with wine, has a long and rich history.

They originated in Spain, but various research sites disagree on exactly when. One says the 10th century.

Another says the serving of tapas began in the Middle Ages in inns along heavily traveled roads in Europe. At that time, many —if not most — travelers could not read. So innkeepers began providing small samples of the food items available.

The samples were usually set on the cover of the lid of the pot containing the menu item. The Spanish word for cover is tapa and that word eventually evolved to tapas.

The waiting is the sweetest part Does anticipation make the reward better, or is it all about getting the reward as quickly as possible?

It’s a question worth considering with the absolute avalance of surprise album releases in Clarke Reader the past month.

Consider this — LINER since April we’ve NOTES heard new albums from Beyoncé, Radiohead, Drake, James Blake and Chance The Rapper, all released with about a week’s notice. Some, like Blake, dropped hours after being announced.

The idea of surprise-releasing an album is a relatively new marketing strategy, and almost entirely a result of the digital market’s dominance of the music industry.

Beyoncé gets the much-deserved credit for pioneering the approach with her selftitled release in 2013, which arrived completely out of the blue in mid-December.

In the 2 1/2 years since, artists from Eric Church to My Bloody Valentine have embraced surprise releases as a way to avoid leaks that could hurt sales or streams. It’s also a way for artists to release their work

on their terms, when they’re ready for audiences to hear the music.

As a listener and music collector, I’m not entirely sold on the idea.

An artist who approached the wait for an album release with panache and artistry was Kanye West, in the lead up to his 2010 album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” Every Friday he released a new song from the album’s recording sessions, and it was a fantastic way to stoke excitement.

I remember rushing home from work every Friday to download the new song, and engage with other fans online about whether the track would make the album and, if not, why. This led to heated discussions and debate, and by the end I positively couldn’t wait for the release.

I also worked at a record store for more than five years, and I remember the excitement when a favorite artist announced a new album. The announcement typically came at least two months before the release (sometimes longer) and allowed plenty of time to savor it. Usually, the announcement was accompanied by a single to give listeners a taste of what was to come, along with the album art.

This allowed fans to pour over the images and decipher what the art hinted about the album’s sound and theme.

Some of this still happens with surprise releases, but it’s difficult to scrutinize the album art while you’re simultaneously

digesting the music for the first time.

There is some nice democratization that comes with the surprise-release approach, and I understand why it appeals to artists. Instead of having a record label decide their single, they let listeners hear the whole album and select a single based on response.

Releasing music this way also provides some room to breathe for artists, since it removes the looming specter of a deadline and allows them the freedom to breathe and create on their own schedule.

Looking at the aforementioned albums, as well as surprise releases this year from Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Rihanna, there certainly seems to be something to the approach: almost all these artists delivered some of the best and most interesting albums of their careers.

Appreciation of the music-release strategy is one of those things that prob-

When we’re young, we all want Christmas and birthdays to happen as quickly as possible to get our presents. Yet, as I’ve aged I have far more appreciation for the lead-up to these events. The joy lessens from just tearing into the gifts. Instead, I take delight in the countdown, the slow unwrapping and appreciation.

I will never complain about new, great music, regardless of the delivery. I just miss the anticipation. It is, after all, half the fun.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, will take the new Frank Ocean album any way he can get it.

SCFD renewal will be on November ballot Sales tax helps fund 275 cultural organizations

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On April 29, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed legislation needed to put renewal of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) on the November 2016 ballot, with bipartisan support in both the Colorado Senate and House of Representatives.

Legislative sponsors included Senate President Bill Cadman (R-Colorado

Springs) and Sen. Pat Steadman (D-Denver), House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst (D-Boulder) and Assistant House Minority Leader Rep. Polly Lawrence (R-Douglas County).

The SCFD Board of Directors, chaired

by Arapahoe County’s representative Dan Hopkins, will now refer the renewal measure to the ballot in each of the seven metro-area counties involved: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, where voters opted out) and Jefferson.

Denver metro-area voters created the SCFD in 1988 and have renewed it

301 S Wahsatch Ave – Colorado Springs

719-635-9201

in 1994 and 2004. An affirmative vote in 2016 would renew it for 12 years and shift percentages of distribution between the three tiers of cultural organizations, which total 275. Funds distributed come from a tax of one cent on a $10 sale — a total of $52 million in 2014. Overall, the available amount is expected to increase as population grows.

Percentages would be reallocated among the organizations, increasing distribution to Tiers Two and Three and decreasing the percentage for Tier One, the largest Denver organizations.

The number of SCFD organizations has

doubled since 1988.

According to the SCFD, this collection of cultural organizations contributed more than $1.8 billion into the regional economy and employed more than 10,000 people.

More than 14 million people — 4 million of them kids — attend SCFD-funded programs each year.

A few examples in Arapahoe and Douglas counties: Arapahoe Philharmonic, Lone Tree and Parker symphony orchestras, Lone Tree Arts Center, PACE Center, Town Hall Arts Center, Highlands Ranch Concert Band, Young Voices of Colorado, Performance Now Theatre Company.

ABOUT THIS SECTION Colorado is known across the world as a winter-weather destination. Snow and skiing are what bring scores of visitors to the Centennial State each year.

But as anyone who has spent a few seasons here knows, the summer is pretty special, too.

And we’re almost there.

So now what?

Plan a getaway, if just for a day.

No need to leave the state.

Plenty of fun, festive and funky adventures await within Colorado’s borders.

Experience the old West at towns you hadn’t heard of.

Celebrate and sample corn and chicken at separate events.

Hop in a hot air balloon. Watch a cowboy get tossed from a giant bull.

In this section, we’ll tell you a little about those sites and events, as well as many more.

They may take you off the beaten path, but you can still make it home in time for dinner or spend a night and head home the next morning.

We’ve left out more than we’ve included, of course. We don’t have enough pages and you don’t have enough time for it all. But summer will be back next year.

NEED TO KNOW: A cousin to the better-known Durango & Silverton train, the steampowered, narrow gauge railroad winds 64 miles through conifer and aspen forests, mountain meadows, and along rocky ledges and cliffs. The train traverses 10,015-foot Cumbres Pass. Lunch is provided at the halfway point in Osier. A variety of schedules are available, and tickets range from $95 to $185.

Somewhere between whimsical and grotesque, the castle is crowned with a hand-made fire-breathing dragon’s head.

Bishop himself is often on hand, but parents beware, he’s pretty rough around the edges.

FUN FACT: Bishop claims the castle won’t be finished until the day he doesn’t wake up again.

Georgetown So Close to Home.

So Far from Your Expectations.

With backdrops of towering peaks, crystalclear lakes, and the unspoiled beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand County is quintessential Colorado. But then again, there’s no need for understatements.

WHERE IS IT? 45 minutes west of Denver on I-70 NEED TO KNOW: Though often overlooked by I-70 weekend warriors making their way to the more ritzy towns farther west, the plucky little mining town of Georgetown offers a quick and easy getaway. Surprises abound in the quirky shops on Sixth Street, including the charming Georgetown Rock Shop. Stop at the Happy Cooker for the best bagels and lox you’ll find this side of New York.

Traverse stunning Guanella Pass for an epic drive home.

FUN FACT: Georgetown was among the first and most significant towns of Colorado’s earliest gold rush in 1859.

NEED TO KNOW: While the magnificent cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park are well-known, the lonely scrublands to the northwest yield mysterious ruins of their own.

Start your journey at the lovely Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores ($3 for adults, kids free). Continue northwest to the crumbling castle of Lowry Pueblo.

Turn southwest toward Hovenweep

and Canyons of the Ancients national monuments, where ruins and petroglyphs abound. Intrepid hikers will be rewarded. Don’t forget the snakebite kit.

FUN FACT: More people lived in the Four Corners region a thousand years ago than do today.

Picketwire Canyonlands WHERE IS IT? Drive south of La Junta on State Road 109 for 13 miles, then west on Otero County Road 802 for 8 miles. Turn left on County Road 25 and go south 6 miles to the Picketwire Corrals. High-clearance vehicles can continue 3 miles east to a trailhead descending into the canyon (though a surprising number of small cars make the final leg).

NEED TO KNOW: The Picketwire Canyonlands are a shocking affront to the image of Colorado’s east as flat and boring. A several-mile hike along the canyon floor takes visitors past sublime geology, ruins, petroglyphs and the longest dinosaur tracksite in North America. Spectacular (and free) campsites line the mesa top, though camping is off-limits on the canyon bottom.

FUN FACT: The name Picketwire is an Anglicization of the river’s original name, “Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio,” or the “River of the Lost Souls in Purgatory,” so named for a legendary Spanish expedition rumored to have been massacred here.

St. Elmo WHERE IS IT? Southwest of Buena Vista on Chaffee County Road 162, 3 hours and 140 miles southwest of Denver off U.S. Highway 24 NEED TO KNOW: Among Colorado’s most picturesque ghost towns, St. Elmo’s diminutive main street is home to a variety of quaint old structures, notably the still-bustling St. Elmo General Store, replete with funky antiques.

Rustic cabins are for Parker Chronicle

rent (starting at $79). A log bench across the dirt street swarms with playful chipmunks eager to eat food out of visitors’ palms. Tourists with beefy vehicles can head in all directions into unparalleled high-country adventure.

FUN FACT: Originally called Forest City, the Post Office demanded the town change its name because too many others already bore the same name, so one of St. Elmo’s founders renamed the town after a novel he was reading.

Manitou Penny Arcade WHERE IS IT? 900 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, 1½ hours and 75 miles south of Denver off U.S. Highway 24 NEED TO KNOW: The Penny Arcade’s collection of classic arcade games may inspire a rush of nostalgia from the baby boomer and Gen-X sets, with a variety of classics like Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, but

the arcade’s real gems are the predigital games — a litany of pinball machines, but also sharpshooters, mechanical horse racing and rare full-length Skee-Ball lanes.

FUN FACT: The arcade’s irreplaceable vintage machines survived a flood that swept through the town in August 2013.

Woman fights to hold on to her health Immunotherapy is next step in her battle against cancer

Cori Fierkens has been battling cancer for six years.

But she refuses to give up her horses Big Brown Buddy and Applejacks.

Photos by Shanna Fortier

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com After several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, Corrine “Cori” Fierkens has now turned to immunotherapy as a way to build up her immune system and fight her cancer.

“I suspect that I will be doing immunotherapy for the rest of my life as a way to extend my life,” Fierkens said, while sitting on the couch in her Elizabeth home.

She was preparing to leave for the Issels Medical Center in Santa Barbara, California, to begin immunotherapy.

Fierkens had just completed another round of radiation treatment in attempts shrink the 30 tiny tumors in the lining of her brain in preparation for the new treatment.

“We’re hoping I will be strong enough to receive all the therapy,” Fierkens said.

“It’s a little bit of a risk because of the brain tumors.”

The four- to five-week treatment will cost Fierkens $40,000 to $50,000, which she has fundraised for.

“I’m just amazed at people’s enthusiasm to get me there,” she said. “I’m just blessed.”

The fight Fierkens started her fight with cancer in 2010. At 36 years old, she found a lump in her breast, which led to a double mastectomy and having her ovaries removed.

“It really looked like I had dodged a bullet and I was going to finish my life

cancer-free,” said Fierkens, now 42.

But that was just the beginning of her six-year battle.

“Once you hit five years, you’ve already beat the odds,” Fierkens said.

After surgery, Fierkens continued her career as an equine professional. She taught kids to ride horses, and trained and did body work on horses through her business, She Touches Horses.

Two years after surgery, Fierkens started having pain in her groin area.

“It was during the busy season, so I kind of just sucked it up,” she said, adding that she thought the pain was from her muscular dystrophy.

Her plan was to visit the doctor after the busy season ended, but before she Fight continues on Page 19

FUNDRAISING FOR CORI BlueStoneMojo will host a benefit concert for Elizabeth resident Corrine “Cori” Fierkens at 7 p.m. on June 12 at Christ’s Episcopal Church, 615 Fourth St., Castle Rock.

got that chance, she fell off a horse and broke her pelvis. She then discovered the cancer had moved to her bones, specifically her pelvis.

“So, I was actually not in remission those two years,” Fierkens said. “The cancer had left my breast before surgery and it then had two years to take hold in my bones.”

Fierkens began pursuing traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments and natural alternatives to help her body cope with the treatment. Fierkens was also a participant in a study for a PARP inhibitor, a drug designed for people with BRCA mutation (a mutation in tumor suppressor genes), which she has.

“It seemed like a miracle for about a year, and then my cancer figured it out,” Fierkens said. The drug stopped working in September 2015.

“I could feel that the pain was coming back,” Fierkens said.

Tests confirmed her feelings and her oncologist took her out of the study.

That’s what brought Fierkens to her current treatment course of immunotherapy.

“Chemo and radiation for me, it’s not happening,” Fierkens said, adding that she doesn’t want to be so sickly that she doesn’t have a life.

One of the most important parts of her life is her 17-year-old son, Phyn, who has Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism.

“I really want to see him to 18,” said Fierkens, a single mother.

Fierkens recently started homeschooling her son and said she has seen him improve immensely.

“I’d love to see him graduate,” she said. “The homeschooling has been awesome and I want to be able to keep providing that for him. I can’t do that if I’m sick all the time.”

Fierkens said that the side effects of chemotherapy have ruled it out for her as a continued treatment option.

“It’s like you lose your soul,” she said.

“It really affects you emotionally and

Fierkens is currently in California receiving immunotherapy treatment to help battle her stage 4 cancer. She was able to pursue the $40,000 treatment through fundraising on gofundme.com and youcaring.com. She had to borrow some money, so the fundraising will continue when she returns to Colorado.

“We don’t have money to give, but we can put on a show,” said Bob Neuwoehner, of BlueStoneMojo.

Admission to the show will be a suggested donation at the door. Collected money will all go to Fierkens to fund her continued medical bills.

“From the first time we met Cori, she’s just one of those people you like quickly,” Neuwoehner said. “She’s been battling a tough situation for a long time. Single mother, special-needs child, cancer — she’s got a full plate.”

Fierkens, a jazz singer, used to sing with BlueStoneMojo and said if she’s feeling up to it, she’ll hit the stage with them for a song.

Fierkens’ family is also hosting a virtual walkathon spanning the mileage fromk Elizabeth to Santa Barbara, where Fierkens is receiving treatment.

Cori Fierkens says goodbye to her horse, Big Brown Buddy, before leaving to undergo immunotherapy in California. “He has been with me through all of it,” she said of the 28-year-old horse. “He has taken care of my son. He has given so much to me.” Photo

by Shanna Fortier Before she broke her pelvis, Fierkens worked with eight to 12 horses a day from the Elbert and Douglas county areas.

“I didn’t picture myself being in my 40s and that was the end of my career,” she said. “Right before I fell and broke my hip, I felt like I was better than ever.”

But as her cancer progressed, the horse lover was forced to sell all but two of her horses. The two she kept were a mini horse named Applejacks and a 28-year-old Ortenberg, which her son calls Big Brown Buddy.

Fierkens said, “I will always figure out a way to keep them.”

spiritually. It’s a nasty poison. I think it took me a year to feel like I was myself again.”

Holding on to horses One thing that does make Fierkens feel like herself is her horses. A few days before she left for her new treatment, she traveled to Castlewood Equestrian in Franktown, where the last of her horses are housed.

“I’ve always been very athletic and I made a living working horses,” Fierkens said. “I terribly miss training horses every day.”

“When I’m starting to lose energy, I think about people who have been in extreme survivalist situations,” Fierkens said. “There are these stories of people crawling hundreds of miles to survive. I think, if they can do that, I can. This is my slow crawl away from cancer.”

The walkathon can be followed at www.facebook.com/CrawlAwayFromCancer.

While fighting cancer is hard, Fierkens said the fundraising has been surprisingly fun.

“The energy and attitude I’m insisting people have is posistive,” she said. “Not Pollyanna, unrealistic positive, but actual positivity. That we all have an attitude of accepting what is and making the best of what you have. I want people to learn to interact with people who have cancer not like we’re the walking dead, but that we have so much life and have a lot to offer.”

Southern rock rings out from Castle Rock Shooter Jennings performs in first ticketed concert at Philip S. Miller Amphitheater

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Centennial resident Skylar Ferentz, attending the May 21 Shooter Jennings concert in Castle Rock was a no-brainer.

She and her husband are huge fans of the southern rock outlaw, so much so that “The Deed and the Dollar” was the first dance song at Ferentz’s wedding.

Jennings was in town as the first show in the new Celebration Concert Series at the Philip S. Miller Amphitheater.

“I’m proud to be the first one here,” he said, after completing the sound check on the new stage. “It’s so beautiful … looking at the scenery. It’s so beautiful and the sound is just going out there into the universe.”

That’s what Jennings, the only son of country legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, said he likes best about playing outdoor venues.

“I love to play outdoors,” he said. “The wind blows and you feel like you’re at Woodstock or something.”

About 750 music lovers attended the inaugural concert. Castle Rock Special Events Manager Casey Willis called it just the beginning.

“Our hope is that each show grows,” she said. “We are excited that we have selected a diverse schedule of performances and musical genres to please all musical interests. Concert-goers will have a choice of country, bluegrass southern rock and more.”

Residents who attended the show are excited that music under the stars can be found in their backyard.

“We are 15 minutes away from an absolutely beautiful amphitheater and we’re getting these great bands coming in,” David Chapa, 14, said. “This is a fantastic venue.”

On the stage at the amphitheater this

Skylar Ferentz cheers the opening act, Loveland the Wonder Band, before the Shooter Jennings concert on May 21 at the Philip S. Miller Amphitheater. Photos by Shanna Fortier summer are the Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four, on June 11; the Colorado Symphony on June 30; the Marshall Tucker Band on Aug. 27; and Starship, featuring Mickey Thomas, on Sept. 24.

Todd Sheldon, who usually drives to Red Rocks Amphitheatre to see shows, said his family already has tickets for the Marshall Tucker Band concert. When asked what other bands he would like to see come to town, he suggested Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt and any ‘80s bands.

KNOW WHERE TO GO The amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park opened May 21 with its first ticketed concert.

New rule not pitch perfect

Lutheran wins third straight title Girls team finishes ninth in competition

Lutheran’s Kent Harris moves to the finish line ahead of the field in the Class 3A 200-meter dash at the May 19-21 Colorado Track and Field Championships.

Harris won two individual events and was a member of two winning relay teams as the Lions won their third straight boys track championship.

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Smiles lit up the faces of the competitors as a crowd of well-wishers offered congratulations to the members of the Lutheran High School boys track team as they prepared to accept their third consecutive state championship trophy at the conclusion of the May 19-21 Colorado Track and Field Championships at Jefferson County Stadium.

“We did it, we won our third title,” Lions Coach Darwin Horan said as the team prepared for the presentation ceremony. “I had a lot of confidence in this team from the start of the season. We had great leadership by example from seniors who helped us win the other two titles, plus we had a very supporting lineup of underclassmen.

It is a red letter day for this team and for our school.”

Lutheran boys won the Class 2A title in 2014 and the 3A titles in 2015 and this year.

There were Lions on the awards podium for just about every event as they amassed 137 points, well ahead of Platte Valley, which finished second with 65 points.

Kent Harris helped Lutheran’s effort as he finished first in the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash plus he joined forces with Luke Arkell, Tomko Harrison and Kharon Hall to win both win the 4x100 and the 4x200 relay events.

“This was a good race. I am glad I was able to cross

the finish line first because my legs are a little tired from the races I have run the last two days,” Harris said after winning the 200-meter dash. “To put in this much work to get ready and then to have it pay off on the track at state is a great feeling that it is hard to explain.”

He said knowing the title was on the line helped push all members of the team to seek to post personal bests times, heights or distances.

Matt Hanson won the

110-meter high hurdles and was second in the 300 hurdles. Other Lutheran first-place winners were Adam Dawson in discus, Jacob Dock in shot put and Kharon Hall in triple jump.

The Lutheran girls finished ninth with 39 points.

Morgan Barone helped the Lions with a first-place finish in high jump. Teammate Riley Darnell finished fourth in the 100-meter dash and seventh in the 200-meter dash. Lion relay teams also took third in the 4x400 relay and fourth in

the 4x100 relay.

Other local teams who scored points at the state meet included the Chaparral boys, who were 19th in the team standings with 17 points. Jacob Condill helped his team in the standings as he won the discus event. Teammate Dave Butte was third in the pole vault.

Legend was 27th with 10 points and their highest finish was the 4x100 relay team that finished third.

In Class 4A, Ponderosa’s boys were 37th.

It was a needed move when a pitchcount limit was implemented this season for Colorado High School Activities Association baseball games to limit damage to young arms.

However, CHSAA needs to find a way not to be caught looking by keeping coaches in both dugouts informed of “official” pitch counts, especially in state playoff games when pitching staffs could be overworked with teams playing three games in two days.

An unfortunate situation could Jim Benton have unfolded in OVERTIME the Cherokee TrailCherry Creek playoff game May 21 at AllCity Stadium in Denver.

Cherokee Trail pitcher Keven MacKintosh approached the pitch limit in the sixth inning. As he prepared to face his final batter, a person in charge of keeping the tally in the press box already had him having thrown the maximum 110 pitches. An individual was sent to inform the Cherokee Trail coaches, but they had their player with only 109 pitches.

MacKintosh pitched to the final batter of the inning, got the out and his team went on to win, 10-8.

During a post-game discussion, it was revealed the Cherry Creek pitch count had MacKintosh already over the limit before facing his final batter. During the game, Creek did not make an issue of it, and an on-scene CHSAA official wasn’t going to argue over one pitch.

A violation discovered during the game could have resulted in a forfeit, but with the game in the books, the score will stand.

When there are three different pitch counts, something needs to be done to enforce the rule. The person keeping count in the press box May 21 had the official tally, according to a CHSAA official.

Douglas County High School has a portable scoreboard that can be mounted above the dugout to keep both teams and fans informed of pitch counts. That’s an easy way to maybe solve disputes before the sixth or seventh inning. Or maybe a “visible” official appointed by CHSAA should inform both teams of pitch counts inning-by-inning, especially when a pitcher is nearing the limit.

Both Cherokee Trail and Cherry Creek remain alive in the double-elimination tournament, which resumes play May 27.

Bert Borgmann, CHSAA assistant commissioner, said the rules will be reviewed before then, with the aim of having a better solution before a champion is crowned.

An Olympic preview Colorado soccer fans have a chance to see the U.S. Women’s National team before the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.

The 25-player roster for the sold-out June 2 friendly match against Japan at Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Commerce City includes Mallory Pugh of Highlands Ranch, Linsey Horan of Golden and Denver’s Jaelene Hinkle.

Coach Jill Ellis must trim the roster to 18 players for the Olympics.

Pugh, the 18-year-old who just graduated from Mountain Vista, became the youngest player at age 17 to make the national team roster in 11 years last January. She scored in a Jan. 23 match against Benton continues on Page 28

Area swimmers capture crowns Athletes from Ponderosa, Highlands Ranch, Arapahoe and Valor take home titles

Arapahoe’s Ryan Carlson (34) takes a hit from behind from Regis Jesuit’s Tyler Reynolds (27) but manages to hold onto the ball. Regis Jesuit won by the final of 11-5 to take the 5A state lacrosse title.

Staff report Four swimmers from schools in the south metro area were crowned individual champions May 21 at the state swimming championships.

Senior Gabriele Sasia, a STEM school student who swims for the Highlands Ranch team, captured his second consecutive 100-yard butterfly title with a time of 49.32 seconds in the Class 5A finals at the Air Force Academy, Sasia was also second in the 100 backstroke and swam on two relay teams.

Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 45.07. He was second in the 200-yard freestyle and swam on two relay teams that finished in the top five.

Max Grogan, a senior from Legend who competes on the Ponderosa team, was crowned the champion in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21.04.

At the Class 4A state meet held at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton, Valor Christian freshman Casey Fellows won the diving title with 530.30 points. The Eagles came in second in the team standings.

Cherry Creek placed third on the 5A team scoreboard, with Highlands Ranch sixth, Arapahoe seventh, Heritage eighth and Ponderosa 10th.

Regis downs Arapahoe for title Warriors can’t overcome deficit in Class 5A championship game

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Momentum can have a critical impact on the outcome of lacrosse games.

Arapahoe never had much momentum on its side May 20 in the Class 5A state lacrosse championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver.

Regis Jesuit pulled away for an 11-5 victory, giving the Raiders their second title in three seasons.

The Warriors, who upset secondseeded Mountain Vista 9-8 in the May 18 semifinals, trailed 6-2 midway through the third period but finally got a little momentum on their side.

David Babb’s goal at the 11:38 mark of

the final period pulled Arapahoe to within 6-4 but two goals by Joey Clout in 33 seconds pushed the momentum toward the Raiders which scored five straight goals to grab an 11-4 advantage.

“It’s really a momentum game which makes it so much fun with the momentum swings,” said Arapahoe coach Logan Bobzien. “Credit to Regis for being resilient. They were a great, poised team.

We came within two and they were able to get the ball back and go down and make a great play.”

Regis coach Jim Soran agreed that Clout’s two goals were important to change the momentum of the game.

“They got close and then Joey got two in a row,” he said. “It was a great victory.”

Arapahoe took 33 shots on goal but scored just five times.

“Unfortunately our shots just weren’t dropping,” Bobzien said. “We just didn’t

have our best shooting day as a team and it was something we worked on every day but we weren’t able to stick as many shots in the net.”

Senior Keenan Moffitt had two goals and an assist to lead the Warriors, who lost to Regis 7-4 on April 5. Moffitt finished the season with 43 goals and 13 assists.

Clout and Mikey Bealer each had three goals for the Raiders in the title game.

Arapahoe, the 2012 state champions, wound up the campaign with a 15-4 record.

“The season for us was an incredible journey,” Bobzien said. “These guys really bonded as brothers. The seniors have been incredible as have the captains and assistant coaches. It’s been a good time and I’ve enjoyed the journey. It’s unfortunate it ended this way but give it a few days and we’ll start turning the corner.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 23, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Home conditions still demand attention. Also, keep an open mind about a sudden question of trust involving a close friend.

All the facts are not yet in.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) With summer just around the corner, travel begins to dominate your sign. Make plans carefully to avoid potential problems in the first half of June.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A romantic Libra sets a challenge that your “sensible” side might question, but your idealistic self finds the prospect too intriguing to resist. The choice is yours.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Those tense times in your personal life are just about over. Concentrate on reaffirming relationships. Your love of travel opens a surprising new opportunity.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat usually loves to be in the center of things. But this week it might be wiser to watch and learn from the sidelines. A Pisces wants to make you purr.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) “New” is your watchword this week. Be open to new ideas, both on the job and in your personal life. A romantic Aries or Sagittarian beckons.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some difficult family decisions have to be faced, but be sure to get more facts before you act. Be careful not to neglect your health during this trying time.

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

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You still need to support a loved one through a difficult time. Meanwhile, things continue to work out to your benefit in the workplace.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Aspects continue to favor expanding social opportunities. A Gemini reaches out to offer a chance for re-establishing a once-close relationship.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) There’s a potential for misunderstanding in both your job and your personal life. A full explanation of your intentions helps smooth things over.

Answers

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be feeling restless on the job, but delay making any major moves until all the facts are in. A Scorpio has a surprising revelation.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your business sense works to your advantage as you sort through the possibilities that are opening up. A Libra is Cupid’s best bet for your romantic prospects.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for being open-minded about people. This helps you make friends easily. You would do very well in public service. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Public Trustees

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
