NEWS IN A HURRY

MY NAME IS

Anneliese Smith takes a break from her nursing studies to enjoy the sunshine and trees in O’Brien Park. Smith loves speaking Spanish, trail running and playing the violin, though she admits she’s a little out of practice with all of them.

TOM SKELLEY

ANNELIESE SMITH

Nursing student, Spanish speaker, flower girl Helping hands I turn 21 in June and I’ve lived in Parker my whole life. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era, like I should have been a flower girl in the 1960s.

I’m a CNA right now and I’m attending the Community College of Denver to study nursing. I want to make a positive impact on the world, and I want to be on the front lines helping people.

I also love science. Nursing’s such a versatile field, I feel like I can go into any specialty I have an interest in, and nurses are always in demand. I want a job that has it all.

Happy trails I don’t do it as much as I’d like, but I really like distance running and trail running. I ran cross country at Legend High School and made varsity a couple times. My motto is “nature is my church, working out is my religion,” so I need to get back out there.

My favorite places are Hidden Mesa in Franktown and Bluffs Regional Park in Lone Tree.

Language lover I love the Spanish language. I’m not fluent, but I speak almost fluently, enough that I could definitely survive if you dropped me in Peru or somewhere. My mom’s half Spanish and half Dutch, so I’ve always heard it growing up.

Learning a new language breaks down cultural barriers. I think there’s a stigma attached to members of the Hispanic community who live here. You should see the reaction when you speak to them in their native language — their surprise, they just light up. I think it helps them to feel accepted.

It’s just cool to me to see cultural barriers be destroyed like that.

Protect the planet I think we all need to protect and cleanse the earth. Everything came together so perfectly so that life could flourish, and I just think it’s a silly, quixotic idea for people to theorize about colonizing Mars or things like that when we should focus on fortifying our planet and stopping the damage we’re doing to it.

We need to come together and stop fooling around.

9-1-1 class for kids The Parker and Lone Tree Communications Center is offering a free public education presentation on using 9-1-1 emergency services designed for young children. There are three classes offered on July 9, 2017 at the Parker Police Department.

The goal of the program is to teach all of the young children in the Parker and Lone Tree area about the importance of 9-1-1 and how to use it in. The program includes group discussion on identifying emergencies, a 9-1-1 call simulation and goodie bags with information to take home and share with family members.

In 2016, the Parker and Lone Tree Communications Center received 17,136 calls on the 9-1-1 system.

Many callers who use 9-1-1 each year are young children who may be unfamiliar with what to do and say once they have reached the 9-1-1 center.

For more information or to register for the class visit the Parker Police Department website at parkerpolice.org/543/9-1-1-for-Kids.

New political party registered On June 5, the Unity Party passed the 1,000-voter mark to obtain minor party status in Colorado for at least the next two general elections, in 2018 and 2020. At the end of May, the Unity Party recorded 999 voters, registration records with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office show. More joined in June to qualify Unity for its official status.

Previously, the party had been considered a “qualified political organization” and candidates had to petition onto the ballot. Under its new status, the Unity Party must hold an assembly at least 73 days before the 2018 primary election to nominate candidates to be placed directly on the general election ballot.

Bill Hammons, a candidate for Colorado governor in 2018, is chairman of the state and national Unity Party. Its slogan is “Not right, not left, but forward.”

Other minor parties in Colorado include the American Constitution, Green and Libertarian parties.

‘You’re not alone,’ says author who battled disease Parker breast cancer survivor publishes book on her experience

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Battling cancer can be an isolating, lonely experience, but Margie Cohen says it doesn’t have to be.

“No matter what disease you’re going through, you’re not in it alone,” said Cohen, 68.

Cohen, a Parker resident, self-published “Steps Unknown Never Forgotten,” an autobiographical account of her fight against HER 2 breast cancer and the people she met in chemotherapy who got her through it.

Cohen received her diagnosis in 2016. She couldn’t find any books on HER 2, a rare form of breast cancer caused by a protein in her body. Her oncologist describes it as “a little Ferrari that drives around in your system, dropping seeds that ignite” into cancer cells.

“I said, ‘I’ve always wanted a Ferrari,’” Cohen said, “‘just not one driving around in my body.’”

Unable to find books or online resources from others with HER 2, Cohen decided to journal her thoughts and share them, hopefully with others who are going through the same uncertainty she felt after her diagnosis.

“I started a journal … other people read it and said ‘you ought to publish this,’” Cohen said.

The book includes candid accounts of her treatment, from the side effects she experienced form medication to graphic details of procedures like her breast reconstruction surgery.

“I wanted it to be informative, but I also wanted it to be inspirational,” she said.

One person featured in the book is Aurora resident Debbi Kennedy, 52, who met Cohen and another patient, Brandi Christensen Marrero, when she began chemo in April 2016. The trio quickly became known at the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center as the “Three Amigos.”

“We just clicked,” Kennedy said.

“We talked the whole three hours.”

Camaraderie helps maintain a positive attitude, something Kennedy and Cohen agreed is vital to beating cancer, but they stressed it takes different forms. Face-to-face companionship isn’t an option for all patients, in which case Kennedy suggested reaching out to specialists, such as those at Rocky Mountain, or social media groups like the Ford Warriors Facebook page.

“There are a lot of resources out there,” Kennedy said, “It’s all about making that first call.”

Whether it’s in person, online or by reading her book, Cohen said she simply hopes that anyone going through what she did after her diagnosis will hold on to one thought.

“The biggest thing to remember,” she said, “is you’re not alone.”

Copies of the book, on sale for $10, are available from Cohen directly at 303-726-5196.

Median rental prices in Parker in 2017: One-bedroom units: January — $1,200 February — $1,200 March — $1,240 April— $1,300 May — $1,360

Two-bedroom units: January — $1,530 February — $1,520 March — $1,540 April — $1,560 May — $1,630

Median United States rental price for a onebedroom unit in May: $1,169 Median United States rental price for a twobedroom unit in May: $1,392 Median Denver rental price for a one-bedroom unit in May: $1,270 Median Denver rental price for a two-bedroom unit in May: $1,710 Source: Zumper.com address the demand we’re seeing for the moment.”

All but two or three projects in the works, such as the Pine Bluffs project recently approved by town council, are primarily market-rate apartments with relatively high rent levels, Fussa said.

Others, including the Vantage Point project under construction near the intersection of Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive, will be high-end luxury apartments.

As such, the next issue to address, Fussa said, is providing attainable housing for young families, employees in Parker’s service and retail industries and seniors who want to downsize from houses to smaller living spaces.

“We’re meeting the need for multifamily housing at present,” Fussa said.

But “the demand for workforce housing and attainable housing is a continual issue and a challenge for the region and the town.”

t

For three straight months rental prices have increased in Parker, driving the median monthly cost of one-bedroom apartments to $1,360 and two-bedroom units to $1,630, according to a report on the metro Denver region from Zumper, a website used by renters to locate apartments nationwide.

The rise represents a 7 percent increase over the past year and a 4.8 percent jump since April. Broomfield ranked first on the list at $1,440 for a one-bedroom unit, while Centennial tied Parker for the second-priciest rental market in May. Crystal Chen, data analyst with Zumper, said it’s a simple case of supply and demand in a desirable place to live.

“It’s an appealing place to move to … especially for people who want to move to Denver for a job but don’t want to live right in the middle of it all,” Chen said.

“There’s an increase in renters who want to move to the area, and that’s higher than the supply.”

Parker Community Development Director John Fussa agreed with Chen’s assessment of Parker’s appeal, and wasn’t surprised by the findings. He added that the demand includes housing options beyond apartments and extends beyond Parker’s borders.

“There’s been what I would call a wave of multi-family housing developments in the Denver metro region,” Fussa said. “We’ve seen an increase in demand in all forms, whether it’s townhomes, paired houses, multi-family rentals or condominiums.”

Close to 2,000 rental units are currently either proposed, approved or under construction in Parker, but Fussa said new projects have reached a plateau.

“Most apartment projects that we know of are already approved or under construction,” he said. Those “projects

Teachers to get 2 percent raise, but no money for capital needs DCSD budget for 2017-18 school year set for final approval on June 20

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Teachers and other employees of the Douglas County School District will get a 2 percent raise in the next school year, an increase interim Superintendent Erin Kane called “grossly inadequate” and which several school board members voted against, saying it wasn’t enough.

“A 2 percent increase is just keeping pace with other districts, or falling behind,” said school board member Steven Peck, who voted against the measure. “And I would submit that it’s not enough.”

The vote came at the June 6 Board of Education meeting at which the board reviewed the district’s projected $578 million budget for the 2017-18 school year. A final vote on the budget is scheduled for June 20.

The budget focused on hiring and retaining educational staff and maintaining student programs, Kane said.

But the budget does not address aging infrastructure or new capital needs.

Kane said there wasn’t enough money to address capital projects outside of maintaining the current infrastructure.

“We’re hoping for the best,” Kane said while crossing two fingers. “The tighter the budget, the higher the risk.”

The district does have emergency contingency funds in place to address unforeseen capital projects — such as damage to buildings or utilities —

that would affect student learning or safety.

In 2015, The Long Range Planning Committee — a group of community members and parents charged by the district with studying its capital needs — put the price tag at $275.1 million for current and future projects over five years. The committee identified major areas of need as facility reinvestment at $133.6 million, technology at $53 million and new construction to accommodate growth at $38.8 million.

District officials did find ways to save about $21 million compared to the previous year, thanks to a central administration reorganization that saved $14 million in 2016-17 and will shave off $7 million in 2017-18. Those included eliminating the positions of the chief growth and development officer, chief academic officer, chief operating officer and chief commu-

nity relations officer positions. The savings also includes unspent department carryover and money saved from the reorganization of the professional development and the World Class Education departments.

“The good news is we saved money this year,” Kane said. “The bad news is, we’re going to need it.”

The district will receive $7,389 per pupil from the state — $244 more per student than last school year. The increase is projected to generate $11.5 million, but will be offset by a projected decrease of $4 million caused by declining enrollment.

For 2016-17, DCSD’s enrollment was 67,470, up from 66,896 in 2015-16, according to the Colorado Department of Education. However, district officials say some elementary schools are experiencing declining enrollments.

Freedom brings responsibility

This Independence Day, give our streams a break. Not only are personal fireworks a fire danger, but also, their waste poses a threat to our waterways when not disposed of properly. Summer days in Colorado often bring flashing rain and thunderstorms that quickly wash away waste on streets and parking lots, sending them straight to the nearest stream. What isn’t collected and thrown away after the celebration may be gone before you know it. Take the time this holiday and clean up after yourself.

Local stormwater agencies are teaming up to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail.

One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

‘It’s the thing to do’ Annual Parker Days festival draws and delights thousands

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Good weather and good times were on the calendar from June 8 to June 11 as the town of Parker hosted tens of thousands of patrons for the annual Parker Days festival.

This year’s event featured more vendors, more entertainers and wider boundaries, as the grounds stretched from the hill north of O’Brien Park south to Mainstreet and east to Pine Drive.

“I still enjoy the small-town atmosphere, somewhat,” said Franktown resident Sue Duncan, who’s been bringing her daughter Jenny to the fair for more than 20 years. “But it’s getting a lot bigger.”

“It got huge. I remember when it was just a little podunk thing, but now it’s massive,” Jenny added.

“Now everybody goes.”

Wright Amusements, provider of carnival rides, food and games each of the festival’s 40 years, outfitted the rides with new LED lights that illuminated the evening skies while national celebrities like ’80s rocker Bret Michaels and the Budweiser Clydesdales joined local buskers, poets and musicians to entertain attendees from across the metro region.

Elizabeth native Jacob Clark brought his daughter, Autumn, 8, for what has become an annual tradition for the family.

“We’ve been coming since she was in her mom’s tummy,” Clark said, pointing to Autumn. “You’ve got to love it — it’s the thing to do.”

’80s icon perks up Parker

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fans of the 1980s hair metal scene came to O’Brien Park in Parker for a taste of nostalgia as Poison frontman and solo artist Bret Michaels played the June 8 Parker Days Sneak Peek concert, and they weren’t disappointed.

Denver resident Sara Merryman has been a fan since her sister got her into the hair metal genre in the 1980s, and came to hear her favorite Poison songs, like the show opener “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Look What the Cat Dragged In.” “I’m just here to hear some good music,” Merryman said. “I just want to hear him play some of my favorite Poison songs and whatever else he wants to do.”

After a fun, upbeat set by the 6 Million Dollar Band, Michaels took the stage, jumping from one side to the other and high-fiving nearly everyone in the crowd he could reach. The energetic set included old favorites and covers of classic rock hits like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama.”

Bret Michaels works the crowd during his set at the Parker Days kickoff concert on June 8. Michaels, who played a concert in Colorado Springs in May with Def Leppard and Tesla, made a special solo appearance for the kickoff concert for the Parker Days festival.

The board voted 4-3 to approve the 2 percent salary increase for all employees, which is projected to cost $6.5 million.

Board members James Geddes, Anne-Marie Lemieux, Judith Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn voted for the increase, while Peck, David Ray and Wendy Vogel voted against it, pushing instead for at least a 3

percent raise.

Teacher pay has long been an issue in Douglas County with concerns continuing to mount that teachers are leaving for higher wages in other districts. Longterm, the idea of a new tax measure is being explored to increase teacher salaries, but in the immediate future, the budget is tight, Kane said.

Although Kane called the increase “grossly inadequate,” she said it is

what the district can afford.

Peck suggested looking for other redundancies in the budget to find more money.

Ray suggested going without a $3.2 million device refresh from the technology budget as a way of finding more funding.

“We cannot afford to have the gap widen between us and other districts when it comes to paying our teachers,” Ray said.

Brite was critically wounded responding to the incident, and after months of recovery has returned to limited duty with the sheriff ’s department. Dorrell shot and killed the suspect to end the threat to the community, and Maxson treated Brite

‘I just knew I needed help,’ new mom says

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he week following Amanda Hawthorne’s first pregnancy was good. But the day her mother, who had been helping, returned to work, Hawthorne’s emotional state quickly declined.

She slept because she was so exhausted. She paced back and forth because of anxiety. She felt depressed and manic all at once, she remembers, and had little interest in her daughter.

So she hired a babysitter and confided in her family. And then she went to see a psychiatrist.

“I had to hand my child over because I couldn’t take care of either one of us,” said Hawthorne, 34, a Wheat Ridge resident who has a history of bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. “I didn’t know what do — I just knew I needed help.”

A support system comprised of family and friends helped most, she said. Creating such support systems is the goal of a campaign run by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in partnership with Postpartum Support International, an organization that increases awareness about the emotional changes that women experience during pregnancy and postpartum.

The educational campaign, launched last October, brings awareness to symptoms of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety —which occur in one in seven new mothers during or after giving birth — and provides resources for help. Though pregnancy-related depression and anxiety cannot be fixed overnight, the department of public health says it can be treated through self-care, support groups, therapy or counseling and medication when necessary.

‘No one reason’ exists Postpartum depression and anxiety are not the same as “baby blues,” which are mild feelings of sadness, worry and fatigue that may accompany new mothers in the week or two after pregnancy and typically resolve on their own.

Symptoms of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety can appear anytime during pregnancy or in the year following birth and may include feelings of anger or irritability, lack of interest in the baby, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping, feelings of guilt or hopelessness, loss of interest or joy and possible thoughts of harming the baby or oneself.

Some mothers find it difficult to address these feelings and instead hide them, said Mandy Bakulski, maternal wellness and early childhood supervisor of the department of public health.

In today’s faster-paced society, there is an expectation that women should return to leading the lives they did prepregnancy, said Bakulski, adding that it’s hard to ask for help.

“There is a cultural expectation that having a baby should be one of the happiest times of a woman’s life,” she said.

“The reality is there is an entirely new human being in their life that takes time and caring.”

There is no one reason for pregnancyrelated depression and anxiety, accord-

• Join a support group in your area or online.

• Don’t give up — it may take more than one try to get the right help you need.

ing to the department of public health.

Symptoms are caused by a combination of psychological, social and biological stressors. People with a personal or family history of mood or anxiety disorders and sensitivity to hormonal changes are more likely to be at risk.

That was the case for Hawthorne, who said she was informed by her

midwife that because of her history of mental illness, she had a higher chance of having postpartum depression.

Bakulski recommends medical providers use the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a 10-item questionnaire quickly administered in a clinical setting that helps doctors screen for risk of postpartum depression.

“It’s a way for providers to hear and learn from women who might be more at risk,” said Bakulski. “There can be social or psychological issues that were either present or brought on by the pregnancy.”

VOICES Nothing against beauty, but we could do without the pageants

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

f I had a daughter, the first thing I would say to her would be, “Please don’t talk with your mouth full.”

The second thing I would say to her would be, “Please don’t enter beauty pageants.”

I think they’re dumb.

The little girls, the young women and the women who enter them aren’t dumb, it’s the idea.

I watched a few Miss America pageants when I was a kid. When I was old enough to know better, 9, I stopped.

I thought by now they would have disappeared like travel agents and pay phones.

They haven’t.

The absolute worst of the worst of the worst are the child-aged ones that once featured JonBenet Ramsey.

When winners are announced, it’s always news to me. I never know when they are scheduled, where they are scheduled, or why they are scheduled.

Miss District of Columbia was recently crowned Miss USA 2017. I heard her answer to the $64,000 question stirred things up for a day or two.

Perhaps you didn’t know this. According to The Washington Post, “beauty pageants emerged in the South during Jim Crow as a

way to assert white superiority.” Not a great basis for something.

Historian Blain Roberts has written a book about this. “Pageants, Parlors, and Pretty Women.”

The Miss America pageant lifted the rule that contestants “be of the white race” in 1950.

Every minority or mixed-race winner since then has been met with racist backlashes.

Still, they go on.

For the winner? I think they get a tan SEE SMITH, P13

WINNING WORDS

irst of all, let’s begin by wishing all of the people celebrating Father’s Day a very happy and joyous day this Sunday. Some of you reading this may be a father yourself, others of you may play the role of a father, we may have some grandfathers celebrating the day too. And of course, we certainly have plenty of children of all ages celebrating with their fathers, and as a father myself, the day really is about my children and not about me at all.

This is also the first Father’s Day that I have ever celebrated where distance and unique situations will have me separated from my children on Sunday. Many of you who have children who are away, maybe living abroad, perhaps serving our country in a foreign land, or who just happen to live too far away to get together in person probably know exactly how I feel. I am excited for them, disappointed that we are not together, and just happy that I am celebrating Father’s Day in the first place. So like me, you probably also go through the

whole cycle of emotions.

Although we are separated by distance, I have faith that each will call, I have faith that I will receive a card and Michael Norton some type of gift in the mail, although both are appreciated, they are also not necessary. I have faith that my children will also text me throughout the day on Sunday with one-liners, jokes, or silly dad humor. And even though we will not be physically together, it will still feel like Father’s Day. I say that with confidence because I also have the faith that each one of my children loves me and they also wish we could be together on Sunday. In the past Father’s Day has typically included a morning round of golf with my son, a baseball game if the Rockies were home with the whole family, or a barbecue with family and friends

who were also celebrating the day.

When it comes to having a father’s faith, we must also believe that we have raised our children the best way we could and that even though we are apart, they know that they are loved, and they know that we have faith in them to succeed, be happy, be healthy, and to be safe.

While we are talking about a father’s faith, we also have to remember that faith and fear are the same thing. They are both based on the belief that something will happen in the future. Positive folks like to have the faith and belief that our children will be loved, cared for when necessary, happy, safe, and secure.

And then there are those of us who worry and instead of faith, we live with fear. We are always afraid that the worst is going to happen instead of expecting the best to happen for our children.

Now some of us, and I mean some very close friends and family members in my own circle, are challenged with a child who has made a bad decision or two, or three for that matter. And those children may not be with us this Father’s Day because they have to be somewhere else for their own good and protection. But here, right here is where a father’s faith is most important. It’s right here in this moment and on Sunday that we can have the faith that our

My idea of feminine wonderment is a 51-year-old high school art teacher named Jennifer, who happens to be an exemplary mother, an exceptional painter, and an exceedingly patient girlfriend, in a relationship with someone who misdirects just about every conversation into a labyrinth of obscure references to films and songs.

She has a sense of humor, and she has sense enough not to wear a sash with the words “Miss Colorado” or anything else on it.

Of course, if I did have a daughter, I’d leave it up to her. If she wanted to enter a pageant, I would even drive her there. I’d wish her luck, drop her off, and pick her up afterward.

I would do the same things if she hoped to be a Broncos cheerleader, another aspiration that completely

children who are struggling will find their path, embark on a new journey, sort out the distractions and dilemmas that temporarily set them astray.

A father’s faith means that we have a strong enough faith in our children that we can remember what my friend, mentor, and former boss Zig Ziglar said thousands of times, “Failure is an event and it is not a person. Yesterday really did end last night.” As a father of a struggling child of any age it is sometimes a little hard, and other times exceedingly difficult. And this is where our faith has to be its strongest.

After all, we all have a Father in heaven who has faith in each one of us regardless of how many mistakes we have made and how many challenging moments we have presented to Him. Our Father has faith in us to find our way, find our path, and become what we are destined to become.

So how about you? If you are a dad or a person who plays the role of a dad, how is your faith in your children? I would love to hear all about your own father’s faith story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can grant our children the same faith and grace that we have been granted, it really will be a better than good week.

befogs me.

There is something fundamentally wrong about beauty pageants. I feel the same way about Black Friday, karaoke and sprinkles on donuts.

Who doesn’t appreciate beauty?

My friend Ruth was a stunning New York City model in the 1920s. She thought she had lost her looks by the time I met her, when she was 88.

One day we looked at a book. It was Georgia O’Keeffe’s biography. There were pictures of O’Keeffe that were taken when she was in her 80s.

I said, “What do you think?”

She said, “She’s beautiful.”

I said, “So are you.”

Ruth by then was a tough bit of crust, and didn’t believe me. It took some convincing.

I cannot imagine what a little girl must think when she looks in the mirror after watching a beauty pageant.

Kid, take it from me. Please.

safe in the summer’s shining sun

Stick to the shade, and use plenty of sunscreen to decrease risk of sunburn

p g w M

TIPS TO AVOID SUNBURN THIS SUMMER

CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

olorado is one of those places that really shows its best self in the summertime.

Outdoor enthusiasts, from the casual to the fanatic, can check off practically every box here in the state — camping, climbing, hiking, biking, fishing, running, tubing and rafting are just a handful of activities to try during the summer. And when activities like checking out baseball games, going to an outdoor concert and sampling street fairs and farmers markets get factored in, it all adds up to a lot time in the sun.

“Because we’re so high here in Colorado, it can only take 10 minutes to get sunburned if you’re not careful,” said Dr. Richard Asarch, founder of Asarch Dermatology and Aesthetics, which has branches in Castle Rock, Englewood, Lakewood and Westminster. “Because it’s so cool in Colorado, the sun often doesn’t feel that bad. But, we’re getting more ultra violet (UV) light intensity because of our elevation.”

According to information provided by the Colorado Melanoma Foundation, Colorado’s skin cancer diagnosis is 30 percent higher than the nation average. The state’s residents are also in the highest risk group for death from skin cancer in the nation, and this rate continues to rise year after year.

“I don’t want people to be afraid to be outside, but while you are out there, you should do what you can to avoid sunburn,” said Dr. Neil Box, associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and president of the Melanoma Foundation. “Every year when summer comes around, we try to remind people of the negative health consequences that come with spending time unprotected in the sun.”

The damage to the skin comes from the sun’s UV rays, of which there are two kinds that are particularly intense — UVA and UVB. The intensity of UVA rays is more consistent throughout the day, whereas the intensity of UVB fluctuates but is strongest around noon and has a greater effect on DNA, according to the Melanoma Foundation’s information.

In addition to skin cancer, particularly melanoma, over exposure to the sun also leads to premature aging of the skin.

“People should try to avoid the

SKIN CANCER WARNING SIGNS Examine skin head to toe once a month: Take note of any new moles or growths, and any existing growths that begin to grow or change significantly in any other way. Lesions that change, itch, bleed, or don’t heal are also alarm signals.

Look for the ABCDEs of Melanoma: A = Asymmetry. One half is unlike the other half.

B = Border. An irregular,

scalloped or poorly defined border.

C = Color. Is varied from one area to another; has shades of tan, brown or black, or is sometimes white, red, or blue.

D = Diameter. Melanomas are usually greater than 6 milimeters (the size of a pencil eraser) when diagnosed, but they can be smaller.

E = Evolving. A mole or skin lesion that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color.

midday sun, so I say do your activities before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m.,” said Dr. Robert Dellavalle, professor of dermatology and public health at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “You don’t want to use sunscreen to stay out longer.

You should use it to prevent getting burned while you’re out.”

One good way to tell if it’s too sunny to be out without protection is to look at your shadow. If a person’s shadow is shorter than the person is tall, then its time to seek out shade, Dellavalle added.

The best thing a person can do to avoid sunburn when outside is stick to the shady areas, but since that isn’t always the option, it’s important to remember coverage.

Long-sleeved shirts and pants are good ideas, according to experts, and many companies now make breathable fabrics that will stay cool in the heat. Hats, specifically those with wide brims, are also highly recommended, especially for people who are bald.

“A lot of bikers forget that their helmets have slits in them, and the top of their heads can get burned that way,” Asarch said. “The problem with baseball caps is sometimes your ears can stick out, so we recommend a wide brim that provides shade to your whole head and face.”

When it comes to sunscreen, people should look for broad spectrum, which means it will protect the skin

Use the Ugly Duckling Sign: Most moles and spots on a body are the same or are similar-looking to each other. As such, a person using this method can compare moles with each other. If any mole stands out or looks different from that of surrounding moles, it is the “ugly duckling.” If a person finds a mole that is significantly different from its neighbors, get it checked out.

MALLETS FOR MELANOMA CHARITY POLO TOURNAMENT The Colorado Melanoma Foundation’s annual fundraiser is the Mallets for Melanoma Charity Polo Tournament, held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, Aug. 6.

For more information, or to participate, visit www.malletsformelanoma.com. from both UVA and UVB, and get at least SPF 30, explained David Erickson, president and founder of Rocky Mountain Sunscreen, which is headquartered in Arvada.

“The thing I notice most is people don’t put sunscreen on properly,” he said. “You want to apply it indoors, at least 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Sunscreen is designed to go on cool, dry skin, and if you put it on when you’re already sweating, it’s just going to be pushed out with the other moisture.”

Another problem many people have is not using enough sunscreen.

A good reference is about a shot glass’s worth (or an ounce) is the proper amount to use, Erickson said.

As is always the case with cancer, early detection is key, so Dr. Stan Hill, with Golden’s Hill Center for Dermatology, advised at least an annual skin check. People should also make note of any spots or blemishes, and keep an eye on them.

WHEN OUTSIDE, STICK TO SHADY SPACES

WEAR LONGSLEEVED SHIRTS AND PANTS

WEAR SUNGLASSES AND WIDEBRIMMED HAT USE SUNSCREEN THAT IS AT LEAST SPF 30 AND BROAD SPECTRUM APPLY SUNSCREEN INDOORS, 15 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE

“Set a good example for the kids, and take care of your skin,” he said.

“If they see you being smart with the sun, they’ll pick up on it.”

‘Old-fashioned fun’ draws largest pinball crowd yet Games and tournaments are blast from the past

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For three days each year, blinking pinball machines, old-school arcade games and sounds of bells, beeps and whistles fill the first floor of Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree.

Here is where players, collectors and families assemble to partake in the pastime of analog gaming.

“I think it’s a unique art form that is coming back,” said Dan Nikolich, who with his wife, Holly, founded Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo. “It’s something that you get to touch and feel versus everything in the digital world.”

Nikolich, 38, used to fix vintage gaming systems as a teenager and purchased his first pinball machine after college. Holly has a background in marketing and public relations.

Together the Highlands Ranch couple started a tradition that would bring life to a hobby that nearly died in 1999, when one of the largest manufacturers, WMS Industries, closed its pinball division.

The three-day tradition started 14 years ago with some 80 games and a couple hundred people. Held from June 8-11, this year’s event featured nearly 300 games and drew thousands of guests from across the west.

For many who came, pinball is more than leveraging a tiny ball through a glass box. It’s a skill, a challenge, an art to be mastered. It holds special memories from childhood for some. It’s a collector’s item for others.

Brandon Wheeler was 9 or 10 years old when he played his first pinball machine. Its theme was Jurassic Park, his favorite movie at the time. When he was 25, he purchased his first pinball machine — also Jurassic Park-themed.

Since then, he has owned 30 machines and repaired 50 to 100.

“It starts with one and they multiply,” said Wheeler, 33, of Centennial, also a tournament director of the expo. “A lot of people see movies and then want to play the game.”

Dozens of people fill a hotel conference room on June 9 for the 17th annual Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo. The weekendlong event has hundreds of vintage pinball machines and arcade games.

PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND Pinball, which Wheeler describes as a sport, is making a comeback for a number of reasons: the gaming community is more inclusive, older generations are passing the hobby to their kids and grandkids, and more companies are producing games, he said.

“It’s a way for companies to license popular or nostalgic property,” said Wheeler.

At the expo, themes of machines ranged from Popeye the Sailor, a newspaper comic launched in 1919, to today’s hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

When her husband purchased an Addams Family pinball machine a year and a half ago, Snow Galvin was hooked. She’s captivated by the design of the machine — its animated graphics and hidden messages on the exterior and thousands of wires on

the interior. The Denver resident now plays on a league and competes in tournaments.

“You can totally nerd out on this stuff,” said Galvin, 33, who sat on a women’s panel at the expo.

Sitting a few seats down from her was Helena Higgins, women’s world champion of pinball. Higgins, originally from Sweden but now living in Thornton, said she played competitive volleyball for years and always had a knack for ball sports. Pinball was big in Sweden in the 1990s, so she started playing and competing. In 2011, at a competition, she met a man from Thornton and last year the two married at 1up LoDo, a bar and arcade in downtown Denver.

“It’s beautiful and it challenges you,” Higgins said of pinball. “It’s fun to learn the rules and be able to master the game.”

Not everyone at the expo had a history with pinball. Some people accompanied a child or spouse to simply enjoy a day of games. After receiving a wristband in a hall of the hotel, attendees had access to a giant conference room and several smaller rooms lined with every type of game — from a wooden arcade game to a life-size Pac-Man displayed on a giant screen.

Vendors nestled in the corners selling tech gadgets like fidget spinners and portable lights.

Deborah Hindman, of Littleton, was there for her husband, an avid participant of the hobby. The 43-year-old hopped from game to game. Wizard of Oz is her favorite.

Cinnamon Harold, of Denver, perched behind her 4-year-old son as he maneuvered a Spider Man machine.

Her reason for attending was simple: “It’s just old-fashioned fun.”

Douglas Land Conservancy to work with outdoor painters Annual event will feature pieces by 25 artists from Colorado

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s time for the fourth annual “Capturing the Beauty of Open Land” plein air painting event in Douglas County. From June 20-23, 25 Colorado-based painters will spread out over a picturesque piece of private land that is included in the Douglas Land Conservancy, recording moments of sunshine and possibly rain clouds, shadows, landforms, vegetation, perhaps wildlife, as

nature presents its moods across the chosen area.

Following a week devoted to painting, artists will exhibit and sell the resulting hundreds of individual works of art — with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Douglas Land Conservancy for its ongoing work in conserving remaining bits of open land in Douglas County and nearby.

The exhibit and sale will be held in the White Pavilion at 414 Perry St. in downtown Castle Rock, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 24 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 25. (A word of caution: Art lovers should be careful not to touch or accidentally brush against oil paintings in the exhibit — they probably aren’t dry yet — as we noted during a recent

plein air exhibit in Littleton!)

The Douglas Land Conservancy was started in 1987 through a citizen initiative in response to rapid regional growth rates.

It works with landowners, local governments, other conservation organizations and citizens to evaluate, accept and monitor conservation easements.

About 22,500 acres of land are presently involved, with 11,102 open to the public. Patti Hostetler, executive director, has an office in downtown Castle Rock.

The organization’s website says it adds an average of 760 acres annually, conserving natural character, habitat and open space in the central Front Range region of Colorado.

IF YOU GO The exhibit/sale of works created in the 2017 “Capturing the Beauty of Our Land” event will be open in the White Pavilion, 414 Perry St., in downtown Castle Rock on June 24 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and June 25 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Admission is free.

Paintings will be created the preceding week on private Douglas County open land There will be children’s painting classes at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. June 24 and 1 p.m.

June 25. Pre-registration necessary and an adult must stay at the exhibit while the child is painting. Information: www. douglaslandconservancy.org/upcomingevents/plein-air.

SPORTS

Summer swings help sharpen skills School’s out, but baseball games are being played across the area

Club baseball team founder takes helm at Legend

L

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lee Martin, coach of the 18-andunder Batter’s Box summer club baseball team, has a very convincing argument for why high school-age athletes should play summer ball.

“First of all is to keep the reps going,” he said. “Baseball and golf, in my opinion, are the two sports that if you don’t keep repetitions going and continue to work, the minute you put the tools down, they don’t work real well.”

There are many Colorado baseball players spending time this summer refining their skills on club teams, with as many as 50 games in a twomonth span.

There were 60 teams playing in two divisions of the Cherry Creek Classic June 8-11, and the games were played at 17 high school diamonds around the Denver area.

“The main thing about summer baseball is you get like-ability players and they play against other players that are as good or better than they are,” Slammers Martin coach Billy Martin said.

“In high school baseball, there are good players on every team, but when the club teams are put together correctly there are not many holes in them and most of the time players are facing better pitching, and when that happens it just makes the players better.”

Rosters of club teams are filled with players from different high school programs. Additional benefits of playing summer baseball are better competition, weather and exposure.

“It’s just a lot of games we get to play,” said Slammers Martin catcher Noah Kuzma, a senior-be-be at Valor Christian. “In the spring, we usually play 19, and if you are lucky you will play in the 20s. We’ve played 18 games already and we’ll play through July 24.”

Cherry Creek U18 coach Marc Johnson said players and college scouts learn a lot during the summer.

“It’s a short season, sort of like the high school season, but the weather is so much better than in the spring,” he said. “You’ll end up knocking off 50 games in a two-month period with the tournaments on the weekends.

It’s not uncommon to play five to seven games on a weekend.

“Players get to see lots of different kinds of pitchers: righthanders, lefthanders, hard and soft. And it’s a huge advantage when the college scouts can see you. Colleges are playing during the high school season.

Brody McCord of the Slammers Martin U18 team delivers a pitch during a game in the Cherry Creek Classic baseball tournament, which was held June 8-11. McCord, who will be a senior at Legend, and his team played Cherry Creek in the finals of the qualified division of the tournament, which drew 60 teams and was played at 17 sites around the suburban area.

egend High School didn’t have to look too far to find its new baseball coach.

Scott Boyd, the founder and coach for the Colorado Yard Dawgs club program located in Parker, has been hired as the Titans baseball OVERTIME coach to replace Scott Fellers, who has been the only baseball coach in the 10-year history of the Parker school.

Fellers will remain at the school as a teacher.

“You can’t imagine how excited I am about the Legend program,” said Jim Benton Boyd. “Scott Fellers did a wonderful job. He turned the program into a 5A powerhouse.

“I feel very capable to carrying it to the next level, hopefully building more league championships and a state championship.

But more important is building a strong foundation fundamentally for the players both academically and athletically.”

In another baseball lineup change, Steve Eaton, who was the baseball coach at Chaparral for 11 seasons and 10 campaigns at Gateway, is the new baseball coach at Cherokee Trail.

He replaces Allan Dyer, who retired as coach at the Centennial League school.

In 21 years of coaching, Eaton has compiled a 326-125-1 record. He left Chap in 2008 and he has been involved in club baseball since leaving the Wolverines.

“I have a new perspective since I’ve been on both sides with club and high school baseball,” said Eaton. “I’m certainly excited to be at Cherokee Trail. It’s not going to be the same but it’s going to be me, and I’m going to take advantage of what Allan has done.”

Sloan wins twice Rock Canyon junior Emily Sloan won both hurdle events at the Great Southwest Classic on June 3 in Albuquerque.

Sloan, who won the Class 5A 100 meters for the second consecutive year and was second in the 300 after failing to clear the final hurdle at last month’s state track championships, captured the 100-meter hurdles in 13.78 and the 300-meters in 42.14.

Lutheran’s Maya Evans, who was first in four events at the Class 3A state meet, won the long jump with a 20-03.25 leap.

Zac Dammel of the Colorado Lightning U18 team fouls off a pitch during the Cherry Creek Classic baseball tournament, which was held June 8-11 at fields in the suburban areas. Dammel attends Highlands Ranch High School.

And, if they are in the playoffs now, they can see us yet. We had probably 10 to 15 Division I scouts here this weekend. It’s their chance to get out and see some kids.”

Lighting U18 coach Dave Tucker hasn’t forgotten about the love of the game.

“In our program, first and fore-

most, our focus is still always fun,” he said. “Each of our teams have 15 four-hour practices throughout the summer... We set our schedules up especially so we can have two morning workouts a week. We want players to have fun and put them in the SEE BASEBALL, P27

First AJGA title for Schalk Hailey Schalk, a sophomore-to-be at Holy Family, came from four shots behind after two rounds to win the American Junior Golf Association Hale Irwin Colorado by Transamerica on June 8 at Walnut Creek Golf Course Perserve in Westminster.

It was Schalk’s first AJGA win and the 15-year-old became the first Colorado player to win the tournament.

Schalk, the Class 3A state golf champion, fired a final round 3-under par 69 that included a birdie on the 17th hole that wrapped up a one-shot tournament victory over Trussi Li of Diamond Bar, California, who tied for second place with Charlotte Hillary, a Kent Denver freshman from Cherry Hills Village.

Li set a course record with a 7-under-par 65 to finish at 213 while Schalk had a 69 for a 54hole total of 4-under-par 212. Hillary shot a 74 in the third round.

Lakewood’s Griffin Barela, the second round leader in the boys division, finished tied for fourth with a 4-under-par 212 after a final 75 on the 7,216-yard course for the boys.

Artem Yalovenko, a Russian who lives in Florida, fashioned a final round 5-under-par 67 for a 7-under-par 209 total and won by stroke over two players that included Grand Junction’s Trevor Olkowski, who posted an evenpar 72 in the final round.

Rock Canyon’s Amelia Lee is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Golfer of the Year.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One thing all the leaderboards at most girls high school golf tournaments last spring had in common was the name of Rock Canyon senior Amelia Lee. Lee was always among the leaders and SOUTH METRO her consistency ATHLETES was one of the reasons she was selected at the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Golfer of the Year.

She was a four-time state qualifier, averaged 75.75 this spring to rank third lowest in the Continental League, won four league tournaments, finished second in the regionals and was third in the Class 5A state tournament after leading the first round.

After coming in with an opening day state tournament score of 75 on May 22 at The Club at Rolling Hills, Lee’s second round of 80 left her a shot out of a playoff for medalist honors.

“I didn’t play as well as I wanted to but it was OK,” she said while masking her disappointment. “I had

JIM BENTON

fun.”

Jaguars coach Dave Vahling, however, wasn’t surprised by Lee’s resolve.

“So besides the stats, Rock Canyon’s golf team looked for Amelia’s leadership each week going into league and invitational tournaments,” said Vahling.

Lee will be playing studying and playing golf next season at Creighton University.

“I know what needs to be worked

on,” said Lee, “definitely the putting and getting on in regulation.”

It didn’t take Vahling long to realize he had a special golfer in Lee. “I could tell from the first time I saw her she had what it takes to play golf at the next level,” said Vahling. “She would come to practice after playing earlier that day in a tournament. You very rarely see that with girl golfers.

Even from most of the boys players too.”

Victor Mitchell

Our kind of guy for Governor

Outdoorsman

Problem-solver Entrepreneur Thinker Giver Family man

Victor Mitchell is a businessman, yes, but more precisely he’s a problem-solver. The successful entrepreneur like Mitchell knows two things: how to identify business problems, and then, how to be a problem-solver. Consider this problem-solving case study. Victor participated in the 1990’s cellular boom, but found that cellular was too expensive for many consumers and a tough startup for independent retailers. Victor devised clever solutions. He pioneered recycling pre-owned cell phones. And he organized a sort of co-op for small and independent “mom-and-pop” retailers to negotiate complex contracts with the big-boys of cellular, getting the little guys better equipment and better rates for their customers. Victor helped more than a thousand independent shops get the clout they needed, solving some problems they alone couldn’t.

Honors deserved Victor Mitchell’s companies have been heralded. The Denver Business Journal tapped Mitchell a “Top 40 Under 40” Colorado business executive. CNN and Entrepreneur magazine spotlighted his achievements. Mitchell’s Advantage Wireless was named the Denver Metro Chamber’s Business of the Year for 2000.

Creek athlete made mark as lacrosse team leader Asher Nolting named South Metro Boys Player of Year

Another factor that helps players develop in the summer is that wooden bats are used in most tournaments.

Teams have to hit-and-run, bunt, advance runners and play something other than long ball. And, pitchers

Senior Asher Nolting was more than a goal scorer for the state champion Cherry Creek boys lacrosse team.

He was a playmaker and a leader who just happened to score a lot of goals.

Nolting was picked as the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

who make good pitches are more often rewarded.

“It’s definitely harder to hit with a wood bat, and a mistake pitch can be caught at the warning track instead of going out of the park,” Kuzma said. “It is harder to hit with a wood bat but it makes you a lot better hitter.”

Cherry Creek centerfielder Tanner O’Tremba agrees.

“It’s really different because with metal you can get beat and still do well but with wood it really shows up,” he said. “There’s no room for error when

“He’s an unbelievable player,” said Creek coach Bryan Peery. “I’ve been doing this 21 years and a varsity coach for 18 years and he’s the best player SOUTH METRO I’ve ever ATHLETES coached, no OF THE YEAR doubt about it.”

He topped all 5A players in assists and points but finished eight behind Douglas County’s Mike

“The biggest thing about summer is you getting the play like a major leaguer would. It makes you a lot better since you get to play so much. You are playing every day and get the see what real baseball looks like.”

The Slammers Martin U17 team won the Qualifier Division of the Cherry Creek Classic with a 16-1 win over the Creek U18 team. This was a qualifying tournament, with two teams advancing

to the Connie Mack South Plains Regional tournament, which will be held July 18-23 in Enid, Oklahoma.

Cherry Creek will play in Enid, but the Slammers Martin team will instead be playing in the U17 Perfect Game World Series July 20-24 in Phoenix.

Slammers Bauer, an U18 team, will replace Slammers Martin in the Enid tourney.

In the non-qualifier division championship game, Elite Baseball defeated the Gillette (Wyoming) Riders 9-4.

Blais for the state goal scoring lead.

Asher, who will play at High Point University next season in High Point, North Carolina, had three goals and three assists in the Bruins’ 17-8 win over Regis Jesuit in the state championship game.

“We all did our jobs,” said Nolting. “It showed on the field.”

One reason for Creek’s success was Nolting’s ability to deal out assists to open teammates.

“He did a great job of being a team player,” admitted Perry. “He made everybody around him better.

He’s a great leader, does a heck of a job with balls, ground balls and a great job of assisting on goals and hustle. That just doesn’t happen.

He was a great quarterback of the offense.”

TO: Michael Joseph Tonge You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed which alleges that the above-named children are dependent or neglected as per the facts set forth in the Dependency and Neglect Petition, a copy of which is being served upon you. The following documents are also available for service upon you: Petition for Temporary Custody. Petition for Dependency and Neglect, Dependency and Neglect Handbook; Application for Court Appointed Counsel; ICWA Affidavit; Advisement in Dependency and Neglect; and the Relative Affidavit.

A Permanent Planning Hearing has been set for July 3, 2017 at 11:00 a.m., in Division 7, Douglas County District Court, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109.

Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition. IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR, THE COURT WILL PROCEED IN YOUR ABSENCE, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, TO CONDUCT AN ADJUDICATORY HEARING AND MAY ENTER A JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT THEREBY ADJUDICATING YOUR CHILD AS A DEPENDENT OR NEGLECTED CHILD. You have the right to request a trial by jury at the adjudicatory stage of this petition. You also have the right to legal representation at every stage of the proceedings by counsel of your own choosing, or if you are without sufficient financial means, appointment of counsel by the Court. Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your children for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relationship. If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests.

You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by sec. 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S. 2016, and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4.

New moms ‘are not alone’ It’s critical for women to know they are not alone, moms and experts in the maternal field say. It’s also important for partners, families and friends of new moms to be aware of signs and symptoms of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety.

A Highlands Ranch mother, who would like her name withheld for privacy reasons, lost her first child, who was stillborn, and experienced postpartum anxiety with her second child. Her feelings included constant worry and unease over improbable things, like losing her husband of 15 years. She found solace in having a community to rely on, which included her husband, friends, obstetrician and a women’s support group at her church.

“Don’t be afraid to tell someone how you feel, even if you think it is small,” she said. “Just find somebody you can talk to, anybody that you feel comfortable enough to call.”

For mothers who don’t have a strong support network, Postpartum Support International has volunteer coordinators across the Denver metro area to assist in finding help and resources, such as local support groups. The free, confidential phone line is available in English or Spanish for moms or dads, 24 hours,

• Pregnancy-related depression and anxiety occurs during pregnancy or after giving birth, including after a pregnancy loss.

• Women are most frequently affected but it can also affect fathers, partners and close family members.

• Parents of every culture, age, income level and race can experience pregnancy-related depression and anxiety.

• Nearly 1 in 10 Colorado women reported symptoms of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety. Research indicates this underestimates the true prevalence in Colorado because the survey is based off of women’s self-report as opposed to a clinical diagnosis, and women may fear disclosing their symptoms.

Source: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment seven days a week.

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment partnered with the organization to provide moms and their families and support systems more access to resources on pregnancy-related depression and anxiety, according to Bakulski.

“It is hard — every day can be a struggle as a new mom,” she said.

“Being patient and understanding from a support side is so critical.”
