Protesters hold third march through Parker Youths take reins in event to highlight police misconduct, racial injustice

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A crowd of about 50 marched through downtown Parker June 12 in the town’s third organized Black Lives Matter demonstration in two weeks.

The protesters were led by 17-yearold Jared Ingalls of Parker. Ingalls has lived in Parker his entire life and wanted to bring change to the way outsiders see the town.

“We weren’t just going to be here for one night to prove a point,” said Ingalls, who attended all three of Parker’s organized protests June 4 and 7. “We’re proving a point by coming here repeatedly, time after time. The fact that people are still coming means we’re making a difference.”

The march began at O’Brien Park and made three laps around Mainstreet, the main strip in downtown Parker. The downtown area was busy, with Friday evening crowds from nearby restaurants. One Lone Tree Police officer in an unmarked car monitored O’Brien Park while a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office squad car SEE MARCH, P14

About 50 people marched through downtown three times June 12 in solidarity with the international Black Lives Matter movement and to draw attention to police brutality and racial injustice in America.

Farmers Market returns with changes Craft vendors, samples missing from Mainstreet event

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

P

eople crowded Parker’s Mainstreet June 14 much like any other Sunday in any previous year — except most wore masks and kept their distance from each other in small groups. They adhered to the one-way walking direction suggested by orange cones dividing the street in two.

Except for that — plus no samples, live music or craft vendors -- the Parker Farmers Market felt just about normal.

“We will get back to normal,” said Maria Offerman, Milford Spice Co. vendor and Parker resident. “I refuse to say ‘the new normal.’ We’ll get back to normal.”

Vendors and shoppers are hoping to welcome back craft booths back once the ever-changing public health guidelines loosen week by week.

Staci Mann, of Parker, makes a living at festivals and markets. She sells her apple butter, the Smooshed Apple, and lollipops in stores and at farmer’s markets. The suspension on sampling hasn’t hurt her business at all, Mann said. What she is worried

The narrow walkway down Mainstreet during the farmer’s market makes it difficult for shoppers to social distance, but for the most part people have learned to stay in small groups and distance from others as much as possible. Most have gotten into the habit of wearing masks in public or large gatherings.

PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT about are the many summer festivals that have been canceled, which she relies on to sell various other products.

“I’ve had people ask for samples, but people that know they like the product or apple butter in general, they just want to buy anyway without sampling,” Mann said. “A festival, where I’ll make a month’s worth of income in a day — so I have to account for that loss of income.”

Mary Jo Farr, of Colorado Springs,

sells her specialty Syrupology syrup at markets full-time — four markets in the area, the Parker Farmer’s Market being one of them.

For those curious to try a sample, Farr hands out to-go cups of her syrup, which is important for her business because “some of our products are a bit unusual. She said business has been good so far and is ready for craft vendors to be back again.

“The crowd’s good,” Farr said. “So I can’t complain.”

The Parker Farmer’s Market opened June 7 with some changes. No craft vendors are allowed and vendor tents are spaced out farther than usual, but shoppers and vendors are hoping that changes soon. No live music is allowed, to discourage gatherings, and people are asked to space themselves out as best they can.

Staci Mann, of Parker, can’t provide samples of her apple butter at this year’s farmer’s market, but she said it hasn’t interfered with her business, the Smooshed Apple, so far.

The Parker Farmers Market has been open since June 7 with some changes to accommodate social distancing practices. Most wore masks and people generally respected each other’s space. Vendors handled their own produce and no in-person samples are allowed.

Mary Jo Farr said business hasn’t dipped so far selling her craft syrups at the Parker Farmers Market.

Farr, of Colorado Springs, sells her syrups at four major farmers markets on a rotation, the Parker Farmers Market being one of them. For those who are extra curious to try a sample, she provides to-go samples in a plastic cup. Not having Mother’s Day hurt, Farr said, but the spring is usually slow anyway and she’s happy to be out selling again.

Tsurapas became a full-time officer in 1995 and moved through the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant and captain. Tsurapas was appointed deputy chief of police in 2016.

“I am honored to be appointed chief of police for the Parker Police Department,” Tsurapas said in the June 9 release. “This position comes with a tremendous amount of opportunity and enormous responsibility. The Parker Police Department has an outstanding reputation for community collaboration and policColton ing excellence. I look forward to leading our dedicated officers and staff, building upon the strong foundation

of this department and providing continued success.”

Colton has worked for Parker’s Parks and Recreation Department since 2007. Colton has served as the interim director since March.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to lead our award-winning parks and recreation department,” Colton said in the June 9 release. “I’m incredibly proud of our team of professionals who demonstrate tremendous adaptability, creativity and teamwork as we work to support and promote an active and healthy community and I look forward to serving alongside them.”

In addition, seniors are living longer than previous generations. All this adds up to a tough reality, funding longevity is hard. However, with a tool like a reverse mortgage, you can be one the road to financial stability.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. A reverse mortgage can be used to eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* if you have one, which can be a real burden if you’re on a fixed income.

Douglas County schools brace for $31M deficit next year District board poised to adopt budget, and millions in cuts

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is poised to adopt its 2020-21 budget this month, but the school board is still weighing how to make millions in cuts amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff presented a budget update at the June 9 board meeting, this time with a closer look at what local school districts can expect in state funding.

Officials now can more confidently estimate the district’s budget deficit will fall near $31 million, or a 6% reduction in per pupil revenue, Budget Director Colleen Doan said. Staff on May 26 had estimated the deficit could land anywhere between $30 and $60 million as they presented a proposed $666 million budget.

But it remains unclear how the Douglas County School District will bridge that gap as board directors dissect a laundry list of possible cuts recommended by district staff before a June 23 vote to adopt the budget.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 6

Tucker vowed recommended cuts would be made crystal clear before budget adoption on June 23.

Staff also suggested weighting student funding among schools based on their number of pupils in five categories: free and reduced lunch, students on individualized education plans, students on 504 plans, gifted learners and English-Language Learners.

Doan said they are now recommending an all-staff furlough of two days, instead of the three they suggested on May 26, with an additional three days for central administrators.

Chief Human Resources Officer Amanda Thompson presented options for an early retirement payout and health insurance premium supplement program, although the district does not know yet how many

employees would qualify or have interest.

That data affects how much the program would cost and save the district and will be presented June 23 after staff are surveyed, Thompson said.

Thompson estimated the district has 111 licensed employees who would qualify, all making more than $80,000 a year. Each would be paid between $10,000 and $13,000 in the program, saving the district roughly $70,000 for each employee it did not replace.

Staff on May 26 presented roughly a dozen ways the district could slash spending but removed five of the options by June 9.

Among those was a recommendation to reduce funding for special programming, which drew swift and fierce opposition from students in the district’s International Baccalaureate program.

Kyle Lewis, a 2020 graduate of Douglas County High School, feared the cuts would eliminate the IB

program altogether. He started a Change.org petition urging directors to protect the program.

Lewis used a burning building as an analogy for how he viewed the first round of possible cuts.

“That analogy is that if I have the chance to run inside and grab something,” he said, “running into this burning building of a budget, I would grab the IB program.”

Tess Johnson, 17, a rising senior at Douglas County High School, echoed Lewis. The IB students at DCHS are a tight-knit community, she said.

Her biggest concern was how cutting IB funding would affect seniors like herself, who had already put in a year’s worth of work into the twoyear program.

Aside from the rigorous workload that comes with IB — a year-long research paper, evening meetings — the program teaches her lessons outside of school too, she said.

“IB has encouraged me to be more active in my community, to find

more ways to participate in the things I am passionate about,” she said.

While special programming is no longer a budget cut recommendation, reducing or halting overtime, additional pay and salary raises for employees is still on the table.

That proposed cut was a concern for 17-year-old Ethan Reed, a student activist, supporter of the teachers’ union and rising senior at Legend High School.

Reed worries cuts to compensation will affect morale among teachers and the quality of education students receive in the classroom.

“They do such a wonderful job and so I believe they deserve this, and I would definitely include overtime pay, because many teachers do spend a lot of time at their school,” he said. “They put their time into being teachers and so it’s important they are getting paid for their work and just the quality they put out for our schools.”

Sheriff weighs in on Floyd’s death, protests, training Spurlock: ‘Those officers should have intervened’

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock in a January file photo.

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After receiving many calls from Douglas County citizens concerned about the police-custody death of George Floyd, Sheriff Tony Spurlock has offered his opinion: The restraint tactic used by Minneapolis police never should have happened.

“There is no reasonable, rational reason for any police officer to use that kind of restraint on someone,” Spurlock said in a phone interview.

On May 25, Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes. Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder. Three other officers who were present for the incident have also been charged.

Protests against police brutality erupted across the country, including in Denver, Douglas County and other metro-area communities, following the event.

Spurlock made similar comments before a recent state legislative committee.

“We are disgusted by the behavior of the officers in Minnesota,” he told members of the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, as Colorado Politics reported. “Those were bad cops, and if they work for any sheriff in this room they would have been fired just the same.”

In Spurlock’s view, what happened in Minneapolis would never happen in Douglas County, he said.

“The officers that work for me, that serve the people of Douglas County, they’re exceptionally trained to protect life,” he told Colorado Communuty Media.

It is against Douglas County Sher-

iff ’s Office policy to make an arrested person lie on their stomach for any period of time because of the chance of asphyxiation, he said. Deputies are also trained to speak out if they see a fellow law enforcement officer breaking policy.

“Those (Minneapolis) officers should have intervened, they should have taken action to protect life,” Spurlock said.

Change made on chokeholds The sheriff ’s office also decided on June 8 to prohibit the use of chokeholds and lateral vascular neck restraints — a technique that cuts off blood flow to a person’s brain, except in a situation where the deputy is threatened with deadly force, said spokeswoman Lauren Childress.

They will also stop training deputies in how to use the techniques, she said.

About 25 deputies per day from Douglas County assisted the Denver Police Department’s efforts to monitor protests in downtown Denver for the first four days of demonstrations protesting Floyd’s death.

“There were tremendous amounts of people peacefully protesting,” Spurlock said. “There were a number of people who were not peacefully protesting … They were breaking the law.”

In a public Facebook post about the death of Floyd, Spurlock called the riots that have followed some protests

shameful and vicious. “(They) have diminished the purpose of peaceful protests and the memory of George Floyd,” he wrote in the post.

Inside the sheriff ’s office, deputies are somewhat frustrated with the nation’s reaction to the death of Floyd, Spurlock said.

“One bad apple, one bad guy doing something horrible has brought disrespect on the profession of law enforcement, which 99.9% of police officers across this country do with honor and dignity,” Spurlock said.

“We have lots of people frustrated and angry because people say bad stuff about the cops.”

In Douglas County specifically, many people have voiced their support of law enforcement, he said.

House candidate shares ideas Democrat Kyra Storojev, a candiate for state House District 44 from Parker, said she has never seen or heard of anything in Douglas County like what happened to George Floyd. Still, she says now is the time to work together to ensure that it never does.

“How can we work together best to ensure that we don’t have aggressive force against people of color?” she said. “That’s what’s heightened right now.”

Storojev suggested increased education for deputies in de-escalation techniques and possibly requiring all deputies to have at least an associate desgree. Right now, the sheriff ’s office requires a high school degree or an equivalent GED diploma.

“I would like to see a coordinated symposium from demonstrators and

groups against racial discrimination so we can come to some resolution together,” she said.

Kathy Boyer, a leader with the Highlands Ranch chapter of the activist group Indivisible, said the organization is working on a list of requests for the sheriff ’s office in response to the national calls for changes in policing.

The list, which has not been finalized, could include things like reallocating funding from the sheriff ’s office to areas like education and mental health aid, she said.

“I hope our law enforcement will look within and instead of checking a box that says they did their anti-bias training, I hope they see it as a daily way of operating,” Boyer said.

In response to Spurlock’s statement that what happened to Floyd would never happen in Douglas County, Boyer said it could happen anywhere.

“I think there are a lot of bad things that happen in the world and we all want to say that they would never happen in our community,” she said.

While Spurlock said he believes racism and discrimination are issues in the country, he doesn’t see what happened to Floyd as a part of a larger systemic issue — something that many protesters have asserted in the days following the man’s death.

“I think that there are some places that don’t train well,” he said. “And I think that that’s rare.”

Spurlock would like to see increased accountability for law enforcement officers who have acted outside of policies, making it more difficult for them to stay in the profession.

A bill that passed in the Colorado legislature June 11 calls for a database of officers who have been decertified, failed to follow training or been fired.

The Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity bill also would require all officers to wear body cameras; provide annual reports of force; outlaw the use of chokeholds; and require officers to have an objective justification when making a stop of a civilian.

Spurlock and other law enforcement leaders spoke out against some parts of the bill shortly after it was introduced.

“There are some things I support in the bill but there are greater issues I do not,” he said at the time.

GOP primary heats up in Dougco commissioner election Supporters from both sides have slung accusations

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Republican primary for the District 2 Douglas County commissioner seat has developed into an intense race between Clint Dorris and George Teal, with accusations being hurled back and forth by the candidates’ backers.

The GOP winner will face unopposed Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves in November’s general election. Ballots were being mailed to voters starting June 8.

Supporters of Dorris have accused Teal, a U.S. Army veteran, of lying about his military record.

In a letter to Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray dated May 19, David Stone, state commander of the Colorado chapter of Veterans of Foreign Wars, said Stone objected to Teal describing himself as “a veteran of Operation Desert Storm,” adding that Teal served in Germany during the operation. An email sent from the Veterans of Foreign Wars showing that it terminated Teal’s membership has circulated on social media.

Teal, a Castle Rock town council member, told Colorado Community Media that the accusations are a “smear campaign” that has been “blown out of proportion.”

Ryan Lynch, a spokesman for the Teal campaign, said the candidate has never lied about his military record.

“That is categorically unfounded,” Lynch said. “He’s never once said ‘I was in combat in Iraq.’ He does say he’s a veteran of Operation Desert Storm.”

Teal believes he has a medal that makes him eligible for the VFW but has not been able to access the appropriate records at the National

Archives due to COVID-19 closures, Lynch said.

“We do not know if he was eligible for the VFW or if he wasn’t, but what we do know is that he never lied about it,” Lynch said. “There is no doubt that he served honorably for 10 years.”

Dorris, who received about twothirds of the vote in the March 28 online Republican assembly, says the military accusation is an important part of the election because it calls into question his opponent’s honesty.

“It’s applicable here because if someone is lying to dishonor the military and themselves ... to elevate themselves, what does that say about them relative to running for county commissioner or being an elected official,” he said.

However, Dorris calls Teal a friend and says he doesn’t see this election as being overly contentious.

“This is small-ball pettiness,” he said.

Lynch, a political strategest in the state, said he’s not surprised at the level of contention in the election.

“Primaries are often contentious but I’ve never seen one where there is a concentrated effort to smear an honorable veteran,” he said.

A group called the Campaign Integrity Watchdog, whose director Matt Arnold is the designated filing agent for the Teal campaign, has filed two complaints against Dorris in the election, according to the state’s campaign records.

Both complaints claim that the Dorris campaign failed to include appropriate financial disclaimers on its website and in other materials. In the website complaint, the Elections Divisions of the Secretary of State’s Office recommended that it be dismissed.

The ‘new normal’ just might become old hat

he world may never resume the same level of normalcy as prior to COVID-19. Therefore, we need to define what the “new normal” is and what that means for investors.

covery. However, if that is not sustainable due to longer-lasting impacts of the economic shutdown, volatility will most likely continue.

One good example is working from home. Forty percent or more of workers could remain working from home, even after social distancing bans are lifted.² This equates to eating out less, lower car costs and little need for new apparel. The domino effect of that could be consolidation in retail stores and restaurants and higher gasoline prices due to lower demand. The true ripple effect can’t yet be determined.

There are also many industries benefiting from more people staying at home. Internet entertainment, online shopping, gaming and streaming services are all increasing. Home office supplies, computers, cameras and inhome cooking items have all profited from us staying at home more.

Many of these are already obvious, but travel, sporting events, concerts and large gatherings remain un-

known. According to Yale School of Medicine, as long as the virus exists, even at low levels, normal consumer behavior will be compromised. This leads to another perhaps silver lining in economic growth, through biotech, health care, testing, contact tracing and the race to create a vaccine.

Investors have a lot to process based on the level of uncertainty. What will stick forever? What will contact tracing and surveillance testing do to consumer behavior? What good changes will improve our world? We have already seen pollution virtually disappear and family dinners become the norm. McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinsi recently stated, “The world is going to look different coming out of this crisis, and we expect that many of those changes are going to be enduring.” I suspect that digital transformation across every industry is not going to stop. Education, entertainment, sports and religion will forever be available at your fingertips. Perhaps

Choosing our words wisely in a time of change

I

n no time in history has it been more important to follow the guidance of choosing our words wisely. And I am not making that statement lightly or in reference to the sensitivity and divisiveness happening locally, nationally, or WINNING even globally right WORDS now. My belief has always been that we should choose our words wisely.

And regardless of whom we are speaking with, make each word that we use a winning word.

Coming slowly Michael Norton out of quarantine and isolation, many of us have become very comfortable speaking our minds and sharing our opinions of the current environment we are living in as we all deal with the health-care fallout of the pandemic, the ensuing recession, and the issues raised by the Black Lives Matter movement. Many of us are also

dealing with other personal situations that are causing heartache and stress. There are some very real and raw emotions coming from every direction as remaining healthy, financially stable, and feeling safe from harm are competing with the reality and expectations of justice and equality for all, and possibly the return of the coronavirus.

Our freedom of speech and freedom of expression has certainly been tested, stretched, and has even crossed the line in many cases.

Here is the hard question, if we are free to choose our words, why aren’t we choosing winning words when we speak with one another?

Even before the pandemic, the recession, or the issues raised by the Black Lives Matter movement, we seemed to be working ourselves up into a frenzy with our quick responses and heated replies. Building winning relationships within our families, our circle of friends, at work, across political aisles, and within society will never happen

we get to choose our words and how we express ourselves. Whether we use those words or expressions in an email, in a text, over the phone, in a virtual meeting, in a social media post, at the local coffee shop, in a column or from a podium, we own our word choices and the effect and impact that they have on others, and in the long run, even the impact they can have on us personally.

What are winning words? Winning words are real, sincere, and based on our true beliefs. Winning words are not manipulative, fake, or meant to placate anyone. And yes, if you have read this column at any time for the past 12 years, you are already aware

of how often I speak to the importance of the vocabulary we should use and the word bank we should keep handy when we communicate with one another. A word bank that is filled with words that speak to solutions, opportunity, benevolence, charity, generosity, positivity, justice and goodness.

The times we are living in call for each one of us to choose our words and choose them wisely. It is a time to be direct, authentic, and just. It is a time to stand behind our convictions, and I stand behind the conviction that the words we use can tear us apart, or they can be used to rebuild any relationship and even a society that is hurting, hurting as badly as our

society is right now.

So how about you? How are the words that you are choosing to use affecting others? How are they impacting you personally? I would love to hear how you are choosing your words wisely at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we can fill our ears, minds, hearts, and mouths with the words of love and kindness and love and forgiveness, it really will be a better than good week and help us all to get on the path of healing and recovery.

ndependence Day is still on the calendar for July 4 — but this year’s holiday marking the nation’s birth won’t look like past celebrations.

Many of the usual community Independence Day celebrations have been canceled across the Denver metro area due to the state’s public health orders banning large gatherings of 10 or more, among various ongoing precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

For that matter, communities have canceled most large events scheduled through the end of summer. Some remain hopeful late-summer events will return by August.

But that doesn’t mean that Independence Day will fizzle this year.

Here’s what to expect on the Fourth in several of the area’s communities, with plans subject to change on short notice.

Arvada: Porch Fest The City of Arvada is working with the National Porch Placemaking campaign, an effort encouraging people to decorate the fronts of their houses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The city is asking residents to adorn their front porches and driveways with patriotic decorations.

Residents can compete in an online competition using the hashtag #ArvadaPorchFest on social media or by emailing neighborhoods@arvada. org. The winner will be awarded a prize.

Golden: Virtual festival Golden lost this year’s edition of its beloved, longstanding Buffalo Bill Days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Golden Lions Club is determined to hold its annual Fourth of July Festival — albeit virtually.

The Golden Lions announced via Facebook it will be holding a Facebook Live event to give residents a show from the comfort of their homes.

The virtual Fourth of July Festival will begin at 9 a.m. Lions Club members will talk about projects they’ve done in the community over the years. Live bands will play and those tuning in can participate in virtual contests.

Local participating restaurants will be serving special dishes and Lions Club members will be at those restaurants handing out items for kids. The all-day affair ends with a recorded firework show from a previous year.

Lakewood: Porch Fest The city canceled its annual Fourth

Parker: Porch Party The Town of Parker is hosting a porch party July 4. Residents are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs, grills, fire pits and picnic necessities to the front porch for a town-wide outdoor party. The event was created to celebrate while social distancing.

Residents can participate in their front lawns, driveways, porches or balconies to socialize while being socially-distant minded.

Various contests will take place throughout the Parker Porch Party Series. Residents can participate by taking a photo or video of their party and sending it to the town by 8 a.m.

July 6. For more information, visit ParkerOnline.org.

Parker’s Porch Party Series began May 18 to celebrate high school graduates. The next porch party the town has organized is for the first day of summer, June 20. Two other parties are scheduled, one for the last week of July and a second welcoming the new school year.

Lone Tree: Stay tuned City of Lone Tree officials canceled its annual Fourth of July celebration at Sweetwater Park due to limitations on group gatherings, budget constraints and safety concerns.

The city announced June 8 in a news release that the Independence Day fireworks display and celebration are canceled.

City officials are coming up with alternative ways to celebrate Independence Day, according to the release, and the city will notify residents and businesses once plans are final.

What about fireworks?

According to a June 8 post on the town Facebook page, Castle Rock still plans to stage a fireworks show on July 4 at about 9:30 p.m., weather permitting. The town website says the fireworks will be launched from Santa Fe Quarry Mesa, located south of The Meadows, above Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course. “This year, we recommend viewing the fireworks from your home or neighborhood if possible,” the website says. Full details are at crgov.com/fireworks.

That makes Castke Rock an outlier in the metro area. According to a list compiled by KUSA-9News and updated June 11, these area communities have canceled their usual July 4 fireworks shows: Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Lafayette, Lakewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Louisville, Northglenn, Parker, Thornton, Westminster.

MARCH

Protesters held signs and fists in the air as they marched through a busy Friday evening in downtown Parker June 12.

parked at the opposite end of the park.

There was an increased presence by Parker Police officers as well.

Teenagers made up most of the protesters in the third march, as they did for the second march on June 7 at Tallman Park. Ingalls noted that Parker’s Black Lives Matter movement has been championed by youths in the town — however, he said, “Everyone needs to be on board to make a change.”

Parker is about 89% white, according to 2019 U.S. Census estimates, and the crowd reflected the town’s majority white population.

Parker resident Laura Raynor, who took part in the June 12 march, said it was “heartening” to see the numbers of people who have come out to support the international Black Lives Matter movement.

“We’re acknowledging this is a problem and something has to be done about it,” Raynor said.

A crowd of about 200 marched through downtown Parker on June 4 to protest police brutality and racial injustice, part of the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping the globe. A much smaller group met at Tallman Park June 7 to walk 8.46 miles in a loop in memory of George Floyd, the man who died May 25 when a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.

Protests broke out throughout the

nation for weeks on end calling for an end to police brutality against people of color. The movement has grown to a call for an end to racial injustice in America.

Parker’s initial Black Lives Matter protest drew attention from many throughout the Denver area who know Parker as a mostly white town.

“Parker for a long time has had this negative stigma around it,” Ingalls said. “It’s had this super polarized idea behind it. When you think about people from Parker, it’s white suburbia. I just thought: ‘There’s more than that.’ And we’re more than that as a community. I wanted to show that.”

People gathered at O’Brien Park June 12 to protest police brutality and racial injustice in America.

Protesters took a moment of silence to remember George Floyd and other victims of police brutality.

Rusty but refreshing: Softball team reunites Colorado Cougars travel to play in Kansas after long hiatus

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Debra Kortbawi, the head softball coach and administrative dean at Highlands Ranch High School, is also coach of the Colorado Cougars club softball team.

She finally got her club team together to practice and play a few games in two Wichita, Kansas tournaments during the first two weekends in June.

The 14U Jaguars’ 11-player roster is made up of eighth-, ninth- and 10thgrade players who will attend Highlands Ranch, Valor Christian, Mountain Vista, Cherokee Trail, SkyView Academy, Bennett and Elizabeth high schools when school resumes.

After the shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kortbawi and the players welcomed the chance to get out on a softball field.

“Gosh, it was so good,” said Kortbawi. “It was such a good feeling. The girls got some fresh air, got out with their friends and had something to do.

Our parents were thrilled to get them the heck out of their face for a little bit after being with them for a couple months.

“The players were so excited. Gosh we were so behind. Our first game the players were like: `Are we throwing? Is this what we have to do?’ It just looked like the first day of February.

They were slow, sluggish and they were more chitty-chatty with each other more than anything else.”

The team stayed in Wichita for a week, found a field on which to practice and spent some time at a water park.

“The restrictions in Kansas were pretty much the same.” explained

The Colorado Cougars softball team played in the Hawaiian Hitfest softball tournament on June 5-7 in Wichita, Kansas.

Kortbawi. “It was not a horrible thing.

There were certain restrictions of ways we had to go in and out of their gates. When we are on defense we had to play with our ball so we kept our ball and the umpires didn’t touch the balls at all. If you hit a foul ball, the other team gives us the ball and we sanitize it and they do the same.

“They kind of restrict the bleachers.

So the parents kind of had to bring their own seats. They really didn’t make us social distance in the dugout because they figure we are practicing and pretty close together and it is kind of stupid to make you separate in the dugout.

“They kind of leave that up to the team of how we handle it with each other on celebrations. We don’t shake hands at the end. We just kind of get in a circle and break down for them.”

Kortbawi attempted to keep in touch with her club players during the COVID-19 lockdown.

“We would get together and have a team Zoom meetings,” she recalled.

“They kind of hung out and bonded with each other. We had them doing some hitting with their parents, hitting into nets, and they would send us videos and we would critique them and send them back to them. So that was kind of like our coaching over the winter.

“We were behind. I missed getting out on the field and getting dirty, the team bonding and getting to know each other a little more through learning the plays, learning first to third and just getting in that groove of feeling each other and trusting each other.”

Kortbawi is hopeful that softball

and school can be more typical in the future.

“My hope is that we get to go back to school and we get to have a little bit of normalcy,” she said. “And we get to be a little bit more normal with softball.

That’s still a big question mark.

“I think with softball the CHSAA is going to wait to see what Colorado is going to do. You have to see what is going to work and what is not going to work. We are not going to know if there is going to be a big spike.

“I do know we really won’t have a true idea of what we are going to do until July or August because you don’t want to make the wrong choice, bring all the kids back, and then have something go wrong and have kids be in harm’s way or harming a loved one that might be at home with them. So what do you do?”
