MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

Former Navy helicopter pilot Brenton Graham enjoys a morning at O’Brien Park with his daughter, Emma, 2. Brenton says becoming a father changed his priorities, and other areas of his life, such as work, have improved as a result.

BRENTON GRAHAM

Helicopter pilot, hail expert and father Helicopters and hail damage I’m 32 and live off of Mainstreet with my wife and 2 1/2-year-old daughter. I was in the United States Navy, I flew H260 helicopters on two tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq locating and supporting combat troops. It was an adventure, but after having a daughter I decided it was time to get out.

After I left the Navy I ended up doing a lot of work in Colorado and my wife and I decided to move here to raise our daughter about two years ago. I work with the country’s largest hail-damaged-vehicle company, so there’s always a lot of work here, and Texas.

From the beach to the mountains We came here from Jacksonville, Florida, and I guess the thing I miss the most is my family and friends. FaceTime is amazing.

You feel connected and you see each other’s facial expressions while you’re talking, whereas in the past, writing letters would be a little bit different. I think you’d have missed people even more doing that.

Missing the beach, loving the mountains Back in Florida, boating and the beach are two of the biggest things the area has to offer. I always enjoyed surfing, wakeboarding, fishing and going to the beach.

Out here you can kind of do that, but I’ve been drawn to the mountains, so that’s where I go. I fell in love with the mountains, and the cold weather.

A different perspective Having a child really took the focus off of myself and work and all that stuff. Making her my priority has really helped me in those other areas, though, because I think I’m just not so stressed out and worried about those areas. It’s just a love that you can’t understand until you become a dad.

‘Like a box of chocolates’ If I had to watch only one movie for the rest of my life, it would be “Forrest Gump.” I just think it has every possible thing a good movie should have. It’s got the action, the humor, the romance and the sadness. There’s so many stories all put together, the war, the running, the becoming a dad and all. It’s just a real, well-rounded story.

Planners say no to Franktown Village

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After six weeks, three public hearings and more than 100 statements against the project, the Douglas County Planning Commission decided on June 19 not to recommend the rezoning application for the Franktown Village residential and commercial development by a vote of 6-0. Commissioners tied 3-3 on a decision on a water appeal for the project, filed by applicants Russ Berget and Pat Carroll.

The final decision on the project will be up to the Douglas County commissioners.

Approximately 200 people from Franktown and surrounding areas attended the hearing at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock, as they had for previous meetings on June 5 and May 15. Both previous meetings were continued to allow the hundreds of citizens who registered to speak out against the project.

“A lot of people put their heart and soul into it,” said Diana Love, president of the Franktown Citizens Coalition II, a nonprofit organized specifically to stop the project. “They believed in our government saying ‘it’s going to stay rural,’ and last night they got their belief validated.”

The Franktown Village plan, which has been in the works for over five

years, would include 286 single-family homes and 180,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. Its proposed location, at the intersection of Colorado Highways 86 and 83, was designated as a rural area in the county’s 2035 Master Plan. The rezoning proposal would have changed zoning to planned development from rural residential zoning. S Planning Commission Chair Clarence Hughes of Castle Rock reminded a citizens in the audience to quiet them- h selves as Jack Reutzel, attorney for the s developers, rebutted the arguments C made by citizens opposed to the project.

In his decision, Hughes expressed C concerns over degradation of wildlife w habitat from the proposed developg ment. Commissioner Peter Bierbaum,s s of Larkspur, echoed citizens’ conS cerns that the water supply for the project was not renewable or sustainw able.

The plan will go to the Douglas Coun- c ty Board of Commissioners on July 25, d t unless Carroll and Berget withdraw their application. Calls to Reutzel were f o not returned.

Love said she is cautiously optimistic 1 after the commission’s decision, and that she and other coalition members d will be ready for another fight if neces- T W sary.

“We’re not done yet,” Love said. “We a kept a lot of our powder dry. If it goes to l A the board, then it will come out.”

Parker Planned Parenthood clinic will close in August

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sabrina, a 20-year-old Parker resident who asked her last name not be used, learned of the Aug. 5 closing of the town’s Planned Parenthood clinic when she came to pick up her birth control recently.

The news surprised her, she said, but although adding a few miles to another clinic will be an inconvenience, it won’t be an obstacle.

“It’s OK,” she said. “I’ll probably just go to Aurora.”

The Parker clinic, open since 2006, is one of six clinics in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming that Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is closing.

According to Chief Experience Officer Adrienne Mansanares, no single issue directly caused the closures, citing finances and uncertainty about the future of Medicaid among the reasons.

“There’s no drama here,” she said.

“It’s about patient care and about being around for the longterm for our clients … We have to be thinking about the future all the time.”

“We regret leaving any community,” Mansanares added, “but this was not

Q&A with Kevin Leung Candidate for Douglas County Board of Education in District E

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kevin Leung came to the United States from Hong Kong in 1988.

He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Utah and then his master’s degree in computer science from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Leung has lived in Douglas County since 1991. He is married with three daughters. Two have graduated from Douglas County schools and his youngest is a student at Rocky Heights Middle School in Lone Tree.

In the early 1990s, Leung, 51, worked as a U.S. Army civilian contractor who developed deployment-related software for the first Gulf War. Then he worked for aviation company Jeppesen as one of its global IT managers from 1997-2005.

In 2005, he and his wife Shirley decided to start their own business.

They bought Magic Rabbit Car Wash in Highlands Ranch in 2005 and have since added two more locations, one in Parker and one in Aurora.

Leung previously ran for the Douglas County School District Board of Education in 2009, but was defeated by Dan Gerken.

Leung will be running for the District E seat, which encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. The seat is currently occupied by Steven Peck, who was selected by the board to replace Doug Benevento, who decided not to complete his term.

Why did you decide to run?

I’ve always been passionate about education. I ran in 2009, but after that I continued my involvement in the district, serving on the district advisory committee. I want to make sure that students in Colorado, especially in the place where I have lived for 26 years, get a good education. I came to this country as a very poor student. I lived in a very poor environment, (but) because of the opportunity this country gave me, because of the education I got from this country, it made me what I am. My children and my family have been well taken care of and I think I need to give back to the community.

What are the most important issues facing the school district?

The reason I moved to Douglas County in 1991 was because of the schools. It was my number one priority. We used to have the top CDE (Colorado Department of

Education) rating, Accredited with Distinction. We lost that. We used to be much higher than Cherry Creek and now Cherry Creek is catching up.

We are only average now. Douglas County should not be average.

We should always be in the top five, top 10 at the minimum. If not, I feel like we are Leung doing the students a disservice.

The second thing I want to focus on is the retention of the best teachers and principals. Some people will tell you that our teacher drop-off isn’t as bad as the state average. But that is a fallacy. We should never compare ourselves to the average… We used to be fairly

stable in terms of the people who work here, but the level of turnover is a big issue.

The board has been divided in recent years. How would you help bridge that divide?

The constant fighting, the constant bickering, that hurts us.

It hurts our ability to rally the community to support our schools.

People look at and say these people are constantly fighting and talking bad about each other. They say, “Why would I want to support someone I don’t believe in?”

Would you be supportive of a bond or mill levy to bring more funding to the district?

I will be supportive of a mill levy and bond. To get from here to there,

the most important thing is to get the community on board. The devil is always in the details. How we can come up with a ballot initiative that can pass is something that we need to work on. We need the community to come together as a team.

What do you want people to know about you?

In the past few elections, everyone who is not affiliated with the incumbents is automatically branded as union. I want people to vote based on the credentials of the person, not labeling, and I want people to know that I am not affiliated with one side or the other.

I am running in District E because I think I’m the best person to represent this district on the school board.

‘This gives us another water source’ Water Resource Centralization Project to begin in June

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Like mystics carrying divining rods in the desert, Colorado officials are always looking for more water sources for their communities. If said water comes from a renewable source, so much the better.

In conjunction with Aurora Water, Denver Water and the South Metro Water Supply Authority, Parker Water is about to begin a system upgrade SEE WATER, P16

CONSTRUCTION FOR WATER PROJECT A total of 13 miles of new pipeline will be built for the Water Resource Centralization Project, and two areas within Parker will experience construction beginning the end of summer.

Crews will connect five wells with a pipe running from west of Jordan Road to east of Motsenbocker Road. At approximately the same time, another three wells near the intersection of Hess Road and Hilltop Road will be connected by a pipeline that will run under Hilltop Road.

Rebecca Tejada, senior project manager for the Parker Water and Sanitation District, said traffic disruptions will be minimal, consisting of temporary lane closures as crews lay pipe under roadways. The heaviest construction will be in Castle Pines and the undeveloped area around Rueter-Hess, she said, far from busy streets.

Construction is scheduled for completion by spring 2018.

Parker citizens at an open house on the Water Resource Centralization Project speak with Pieter Van Ry, right, director of engineering for the Parker Water and Sanitation District. The plan will connect many of Parker’s wells, construct a treatment facility and pumping station at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir and change the way the town disinfects its water supply. TOM SKELLEY

Commmissioners deny Thomas’ sales tax proposal Initiative sought to shift money from justice center to roads

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commissioners swore they’d stay committed to finding the money to widen Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument, but ultimately the board voted down a controversial proposal by Commissioner Lora Thomas to shift sales tax dollars from the county justice center to roads and bridges.

“That is one thing I do not want to compromise — is public safety,” board Chairman Roger Partridge said before the June 14 vote.

Beginning in her campaign for commissioner, Thomas proposed moving some tax dollars currently allocated toward the justice center to help pay for county road projects — and the widening the I-25 Gap or Castle Rock-toMonument stretch, a project led by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“I think that public safety is going to be enhanced south of Castle Rock on Interstate 25,” she said of her vision. “I believe that accidents and injuries are going to be reduced.”

Thomas formally presented her plan to the board of commissioners for the first time at a special business meeting that stretched over two evenings from June 13 to June 14. Commissioners listened to impassioned arguments for and against the proposal, including from sheriff ’s deputies and victims of car crashes.

Proposal would pay only for roads Touting the proposal as a way to avoid new or higher taxes, Thomas had recommended sending a ballot question to the voters in November.

But the plan was met with fierce opposition from Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and other top-ranking officials in the department, who maintained they needed the money for capital projects in the next two to three years.

“I don’t think a lot of people understand the magnitude of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and what we serve,” Spurlock said. “I urge you right now…don’t put that on the ballot because it’s inappropriate for the people of Douglas County.”

The county’s 1 percent sales tax is split between roads, the justice center and open space. Roads receive .40, the justice center .43 and open space .17.

The justice center’s fund was first approved in 1995 to build a new county justice center and extended in 2007 for continued operation, maintenance and capital needs of the justice center and related facilities.

It has since paid for jail expansions, communication towers, substations and other projects related to law enforcement and the criminal justice system in Douglas County.

Thomas envisioned taking .23 of the justice center fund and placing it into

Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth and Sheriff Tony Spurlock sat in the front row as Commissioner Lora Thomas proposed shifting some of the county’s tax dollars benefiting the justice center to roads and transportation.

Commissioners listened to three hours of presentations from Lora Thomas and administration within the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on June 13 as the board considered Thomas’ proposal to shift some sales tax dollars from the the justice center to roads and transportation. a pot for roads and transportation.

Thomas’ proposed fund would sunset in 2035, she said, but garner an estimated $366 million for her cause by that time.

“To pay for solely roads. Nothing else. Roads,” Thomas said at the initial meeting on June 13.

Her main mission was the I-25 gap, a 17-mile stretch of road between Castle Rock and Monument considered a public safety hazard and a deterrent to economic growth by law enforcement and county officials.

While the Colorado Department of Transportation seeks hundreds of millions of dollars to fund a widening project on the road, Thomas said Douglas County could produce some of those dollars by approving her tax initiative.

The county also has a lengthy list of roads projects that she included in the proposal.

Public comment spans two days The initial meeting on June 13 lasted more than five hours, including three hours of presentations from Thomas and the sheriff ’s department, followed by more than two hours of public comment.

By 10 p.m., about half a dozen people raised their hands in hopes to speak yet that night to the board, which had planned to end the meeting by that

time. The meeting was continued for the following evening. Most on June 13 opposed Thomas’ recommendation.

Night two saw another 2 1/2 hours of public comment in which many speakers still opposed Thomas’ recommendation but more supported putting it on the ballot than in the previous night.

Commissioners debated the issue until nearly 10 p.m. when Partridge and Commissioner David Weaver voted to deny the proposal. Thomas voted to support it. Weaver said the funding of transportation issues and that of law enforcement needs were both critical to the county.

“I’ll be honest with you — I am so torn,” he said before explaining he’d vote against the proposal unless it was amended so as not to touch the .13 before it sunsets.

Partridge said he was inspired by the passionate pleas he’d heard during public comment to help improve I-25.

But Thomas’ proposal fell short, said Partridge, who believes the county has flexibility in its general fund to assist the I-25 project. It is an option that avoids taking funds from law enforcement and public safety needs, he said.

“That’s what I offer, that we have other alternatives already,” Partridge said.

Over the span of both nights, emotions ran high as residents from Doug-

las County and some from its southern neighbor, El Paso County, shared personal stories or connections to each side of the issue.

Sheriff ’s deputies and parents of officers injured on duty all spoke on behalf of leaving the tax as it is, as well as citizens who prioritize public safety.

Likewise, those plagued by I-25 traffic south of Castle Rock spoke, including residents who’d been affected by traffic accidents in the area, congestion or long commute times.

Some called for voters to decide the issue in November. The county had grown by more than 100,000 registered voters since the 2007 extension and those new voters deserved a say, Thomas’ supporters said.

As of June 1, the county had 236,635 registered voters. In the November 2007 election, there were fewer than 111,000 registered voters.

Commissioners commit to finding solution Still, a majority said the sheriff ’s office had proven it was a good steward of the justice center fund and had further capital needs for the money.

Before the .13 for capital projects sunsets, Spurlock said he hopes to pursue projects such as an emergency management operation center.

Other residents simply called for commissioners to find a solution that fixed roads. Maybe money would come from law enforcement, maybe not. Regardless, they asked for the community to come together to find an answer.

And after hours of deliberation, it was to that idea all commissioners promised to stay true.

“I’m telling you I will stay committed to that,” Partridge said of pursuing I-25 funding. “No doubt.”

Following the vote, Thomas remained hopeful in the board’s ability to deliver.

“I’m really pleased that my fellow commissioners have committed to get this solved,” she said. “We’ll start working together to see what other opportunities we have.”

Dog park is fitting salute to service, sacrifice Marine Cpl. David Sonka was Chaparral grad killed in line of duty

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A long-anticipated project is finally ready to be enjoyed, but officials who dedicated the USMC Cpl. David M. Sonka Dog Park on June 14 want Parker’s many dog lovers to think about the sacrifice that led to the park’s name.

“For every person who comes here with their dog, my hope is that they will just take a little time to appreciate David’s sacrifice for our country,” said USMC Master Gunnery Sgt. John Alen. “What better tribute to David and his legacy than a dog park?”

Sonka was a canine trainer with the United States Marine Corps, known for treating his four-legged trainees with patience and compassion, even to the point of sleeping next to them to provide comfort.

Sonka and his Multi-Purpose Canine, Flex, were killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan in May 2013, but David’s father Kevin said the park, located at 17855 Pine Lane near E-470, will allow his son’s name, and legacy, to live on.

He wants “people to enjoy it,” he said. “For people to read the signage and recognize who David was and just never forget … Every town that has a hero like David, they should be doing something like this.”

About 200 people, and more than 40 dogs, attended the dedication, which was followed by a ribbon cutting for a disc golf course, adjacent to the north side of the fenced-in dog park.

To honor his son’s memory and give back to the community of military personnel, Kevin started

“I see it being a real contribution of service … (David) contributed a lot to the morale of all the K9 military,” Rodriguez said. “I’m glad it’s in the city of Parker, I think it’ll be well taken care of.”

Doctors hope to create ‘revolution’ in opioid crisis

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Opioid misuse is at an all-time high and doctors are part of the problem — and, hopefully, the solution.

That’s according to those participating in a new program in Colorado aimed at stopping opioid abuse.

“Medicine as a whole is starting to look at the mistakes of our past — to look at the fact that we have been overprescribing these medications,” said Dr. Don Stader, an emergency physician at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. “A clinician’s desire is to do well by our patients. We never want to see our patients suffer if we can help it, but now we are seeing that (opioids) are a short-term solution with lots of long-term, adverse effects.”

Stader, chair of the American College of Emergency Physicians opioid task force, is part of a state pilot program started by the American Hospital Association that seeks to combat the way pain is treated with opioids in hospitals, especially in emergency

rooms.

Eight hospitals, including Swedish and Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, and three free-standing emergency departments across Colorado are participating.

The program’s goal is Barkin to lower the number of opioids prescribed at the pilot locations by 15 percent.

“We are on the leading edge in creating this program in Colorado,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, chairman of emergency medicine at Sky Ridge Medical Center. “A study like this has not been this widespread anywhere in the country.”

Alternative treatments Opioids are synthetic or partially synthetic manufactured drugs that mimic the properties of opiates, such as OxyContin and Vicodin. Opiates are drugs directly derived from the poppy plant, such as morphine and codeine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention counted 15,000 overdose deaths from prescribed opioids in 2015. Stader believes today’s opioid problem started 20 years ago when there was a rise in opioid-prescribing patterns. Opioids are prescribed four times more often today than they were in 1999.

“Opioids over the last 20 years have been used for more and more minor conditions,” Stader said. “People over the last 20 years have been getting Percocet for ankle sprains. We never used to use opioids for these conditions in the past.”

Stader and Swedish Medical Center pharmacist Rachael Duncan created a program called ALTO, or Alternatives to Opiates. This program created medication guidelines that pilot clinicians will use to treat specific types of pain in place of opioids.

“We are looking to understand if we can prove the accuracy of alternatives to opioids,” said Diane MacKay, SEE OPIOIDS, P15

VOICES You’ve got to hand it to avocados, although you really shouldn’t

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

H

ere’s a pop quiz. What fleshy fruit rich in healthy fats is sending more and more of its fans to the emergency room?

Here’s a hint. You probably think it’s a vegetable.

Here’s another hint. It’s not a tomato, but now and then they can be seen hanging out with each other.

They’re sometimes called “alligator pears.”

The most common variety was developed by a mail carrier in La Habra, California.

This should give it away. His name was Rudolph Hass.

The fruit itself is not dangerous. I have injured myself on coconut shells, and I have hurt

myself trying to open prickly pineapples.

No, this one is on us.

And the injury that results has a name. It’s called “avocado hand.”

The ones at my grocery store generally are as firm as billiard balls. I let them mature before I try to slice them.

Some of us, however, are impatient, and slice away, first at the outer skin, then through the soft flesh of the avocado, then through the soft flesh of the hand.

Experts recommend slicing an avocado on a cutting board. Who does that? Maybe after you or I have severed a nerve or a tendon, we will.

Hass had seen a magazine article that showed dollar bills hanging from an avocado

tree. In 1925, he bought some existing varieties and began to graft. He patented his mother tree in 1935 (it died in 2002).

Hass was to receive 25 percent of the proceeds, but the patent was abused over and over, and Hass made less than $5,000 in his lifetime.

Growing up in the Midwest, I’d see a green avocado once in a blue moon. I wasn’t particularly interested in the fleshy fruit. I was, however, very interested in the pit.

I think you know why.

You can grow an avocado tree from an avocado pit.

Isn’t that a question many of us have either asked of someone or someone has asked us that very same question? I think it is a pretty common occurrence, WINNING actually. Having WORDS spent time at many conferences and business functions as well as out and about in restaurants and social settings, I overhear and observe that very same quesMichael Norton tion happening all around me.

It’s that instinctive feeling, maybe somewhere deep in our memory that we have actually met the person before, or we have run into their look-alike or doppelganger at some point in our lives, or perhaps they have run across us at some other time and place.

Now this is a very good thing when someone associates meeting us with a good memory or an honorable action. Something like, “Hey, don’t I know you? Aren’t you that guy who I saw delivering food and clothing to the homeless shelter?” or “Don’t I know

Well maybe you have seen me at my best and you think you know me. But if I was at my worst, you would probably remember me too.

Healthcare legislation needs the Heimlich

ucchini … it was a piece of zucchini, about the size of your thumbnail, in a delicious bite of pasta with spicy shrimp. Once it lodged in my throat, I jumped up from the table and staggered to the hostess stand to ask where the restroom was.

However, I couldn’t ALCHEMY speak. I couldn’t speak, cough or get much air. I was choking.

As you have probably guessed, my outcome was a good one, which I credit to both my companions as well as strangers in the restaurant who came to my aid. My Andrea Doray friend John leapt up and followed me, knowing I wanted to be alone to hide my embarrassment.

Another patron recognized my gasping sounds and urged a young man dining

with her to help me.

What happened next is somewhat of a blur. I heard someone ask if I wanted the Heimlich. I nodded, because I could not talk.

I was forcefully yanked off the floor and squeezed by a very powerful person behind me.

Again, and then again.

And then I could breathe.

Everything was suddenly unusually normal. I watched the others finish their meals. We didn’t talk about it much. I found out who had helped me and thanked him: “When you think about the good you have done in your life, you can think of me.”

In the days since, I have nursed bruised ribs and apologized profusely that this played out in public. What I found out, though, was that in the public eye is the right place to be.

Here’s what I learned from the Heimlich maneuver, and what I urge for the Senate as it proceeds with its question-

NORTON

I say that because I just can’t imagine that any one of us reading this column would prefer to be known as someone who others try to avoid, or is absolutely negative, rude, sad, hard hearted, and even hard-headed.

“Don’t I know you?”

How about you? Do people know you for who you really are? Or do they just catch a glimpse of you at your worst or at your best? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can understand that our reputation is based on what we have done already, but our character shows others who we really are, it really will be a better than good week.

FROM PAGE 12

may tell just a few of our family and friends. But when we see something tthat is really negative, bad, harmful, or unacceptable, we will tell as many people as we possibly can.

“Don’t I know you?”

Just like McDonald’s, or Starbucks, or Nike and other big brand names, we carry with us our own brand too.

When people see the Nike “Swoosh” they immediately think, “Just Do It.” When people say to us, “Don’t I know you?” what should our brand say about us? What should someone remember about us that made our encounter so memorable? Shouldn’t it be something powerful, positive, respectable, honorable, good, or kind?

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

No one I knew ever went that far, but you can get one to sprout, and it’s fun to watch.

I realize that this is drifting into something dry and septuagenarian, so let’s spice it up.

Unfortunately, there are no great avocado references in films or songs that I can pull out of my hat like I usually do.

There aren’t any good avocado jokes either.

Unless you think this is funny: “Sorry, I can’t pay rent this month. I bought three avocados at Whole Foods.”

No one well-known is associated with avocados, like Popeye is with spinach, and Ronald Reagan is with jelly beans.

Three and a half tons of red, white, and blue Jelly Belly jelly beans were shipped to Reagan for the 1981 inauguration.

However, some well-known people

have foodstuff to thank for their names. Are you ready?

Kevin Bacon, Chuck Berry, John Candy, Fiona Apple, Heather Graham, Jerry Rice, Daryl Strawberry, Harvey Milk, Orson Bean, Meatloaf, and Basil Rathbone.

Of those, Basil Rathbone is my favorite. Rathbone made twelve feature films portraying Sherlock Holmes, and no one will ever do it better. His look, his voice, his arrogance, his pretentious observations.

Arthur Conan Doyle wrote four novels and over fifty short stories that featured Sherlock Holmes, and never mentioned the word “avocado” in a single one of them.

Holmes himself preferred — please forgive me — mystery meat.

able tactics for drafting health care legislation: Seek help from every available resource.

Just as both women and men – those known to me and complete strangers – came to my personal aid, so too must legislation that’s one-sixth of our national budget include input from all sources. Yet, for example, until faced with sharp criticism, the Senate working group did not contain one single woman, even though female health care is one of the most hotly debated topics.

In public is the right place to be.

If I had made it to the restroom alone, well, you probably wouldn’t be reading this column. And if work on health care continues shrouded in secrecy, the outcome will be just as bad. Legislation that affects every single person in the United States needs to see the light of day. Not only have the public and health care-related agencies been shut out of the input process, senators from both

sides of the aisle are angry that they are not privy to the bill’s contents. And the head of Health and Human Services said recently that even he hasn’t seen it.

Say yes to the Heimlich.

Extreme measures can hurt. It’s been more than a week and I’m still moving gingerly. However, bruised ribs are small price to pay for the breath of life.

So too are bruised egos a small price for improving the lives of millions of Americans. Senators, when you think about the good you have done in your lives, think of us.

Much in the Affordable Care Act needs to change – but secret bill-making that excludes the very populations it purports to serve needs the Heimlich maneuver, now, no matter painful it may be.

The season of

outdoor concerts The Colorado Symphony performs at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock, which city officials describe as a mini Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Casual events bring communities together

ecruit friends and family. Throw on a T-shirt, shorts and sandals. Grab a bite to eat and take a seat on the grass under the warm summer sun. It’s the season of outdoor music concerts, and there is no shortage in the Denver metro area.

“I just think it’s great to sit outside and be able to relax in comfortable clothes,” said Philip Sneed, executive director of Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which hosts Summer Stage, a music series featuring a mix of legacy rock bands and today’s popular tunes. “It’s a

great, casual way to enjoy music.”

And research shows that many Coloradans like music. The National Endowment for the Arts in a 2015 study found about 44 percent of residents attended a concert in the past 12 months, compared to about 32 percent of people nationwide, ranking third for most concertgoers behind Washington D.C. and Vermont.

Which explains why venues and summer music series are popping up across the metro area, such as Castle Rock’s Philip S. Miller Amphitheater or Thornton’s three-concert series that

benefits Adams County libraries.

Since its opening in May 2016, Philip S. Miller’s concert attendance rates have doubled, said Jennifer Reinhardt, events specialist of Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Department. Residents love having what she describes as a mini Red Rocks Amphitheater — the popular Morrison venue nestled in giant rock formations that draws international performers and guests — in their backyards.

“You can have that experience and be five minutes from home,” Reinhardt said.

Some shows are free; others require a ticket purchase. For differing prices, guests can sit in the grass, on amphitheater steps, or in box seating, which includes a table pampered with food and drink service. Artists perform a variety of music, from popular country to classic rock.

Last year, Reinhardt was most excited to see The Marshall Tucker Band, a 1970s rock and country band known for its hit “Can’t You See.” This year, she is anticipating Little River Band, an Australian rock ensemble that she and her mom listened to in her younger years.

“We wanted to offer something to the diverse population we have in Castle Rock,” Reinhardt said of this summer’s lineup. “We choose bands based off of that.”

The Highlands Ranch Community Association has a small committee that helps select bands based on sound, genre, cost and availability for its free summer concert series,

held at Highland Heritage Park, 9651 S. Quebec St. Twenty-four years strong with 2,500 to 4,000 weekly attendees, the Thursday night series is a hit.

“People bring their dinner and blankets and spend the evening with family and friends listening to great music,” said Jamie Noebel, community relations manager of the Highlands Ranch Community Association. “There is plenty of space for the children to play where they can be seen from the adults seat.”

Littleton resident Lela Marcin frequents the Highlands Ranch concerts with family, sometimes friends.

She loves the warm evening weather and the park’s epic views of the sun

setting over the mountain range.

“The music seems so much better when you’re outside,” said Marcin.

Outdoor concerts in the summer have long been popular, said Sneed.

The city of Arvada decided to invest in an amphitheater at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in the early 1990s because there weren’t as many concert venues compared to today, he said.

What used to be a venue with 1970s and 80s acts appealing to an older crowd now offers a variety of music genres, from Colorado Symphony on July 8 to classic rock band Three Dog Night on July 14 to blues singer Johnny Lang on Sept. 10. Concerts usually average about 1,000 attend-

ees. Tickets range in prices.

“We tend to get the kind of acts who maybe 20 years ago would have played at Red Rocks,” Sneed said.

“As time goes by and musical tastes change, they still have an audience, but not as big.”

Summer music concerts, for profit or free, bring communities together, organizers say.

Anythink’s Backyard Concert Series in Thornton hosts three free concerts on the second Friday of the month through August. Held at the one-acre park adjacent to Anythink Wright Farms, 5877 E. 120th Ave., the production is a chance for neighbors to mingle over music. A variety of food trucks are on site and 10 percent of sales benefit Anythink Foundation, a nonprofit for special projects and programs at Anythink Libraries in Adams County.

The concerts have been successful on a number of counts, including fundraising, building community and elevating the awareness of the library, said Anythink Director Pam Smith.

“The concerts are fun, light-hearted and a great way to enjoy Friday evenings in a convivial way,” she said. “Watching the kids play with bubbles and dance is always one of the most endearing scenes.”

clinical manager for the Colorado Hospital Association.

The Colorado Hospital Association is hoping the pilot will expand out of Colorado.

“This is about what we can do, not just in the state of Colorado but across the nation, to take responsibility for this epidemic and to offer a solution,” MacKay said. “We want to get doctors and nurses really excited about this.”

An important approach to the future treatment of pain, Stader said, is how those in the medical field look at pain.

The goal is not to immediately eliminate pain, but instead to manage pain so people are comfortable enough to function in their daily lives.

“Pain is sometimes appropriate and people may need to weather it for a

bit,” Stader said.

‘A revolution’ in pain control Training, which started in the spring, is a vital part of the pilot program. Stader has created podcasts and videos, and conducts on-site training.

“We will communicate about our strategies as well as make sure we all understand what we are doing,” Barkin said. “That trickles up into the entire hospital. It is key for there to be education surrounding this effort. If it is isolated, then we will never achieve the success that we are going for.”

The doctors involved in the pilot are passionate about reversing the opioid prescription trend to better serve their patients.

“What we really want to do is create a revolution in how we control pain,” Stader said. “This is a crisis that medicine has created and a crisis that medicine has to solve.”

projected to bring more than 390 million gallons of potable water a year to Parker customers.

“This puts us in good spot,” said Rebecca Tejada, senior project manager for the Parker Water and Sanitation District. “This gives us another water source.”

The project will consolidate 16 well water sources into three points, building a pumping and treatment facility at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir, and changing the way Parker’s water is disinfected.

The Ridgegate Line, four miles of pipes to bring water from Aurora to Parker, was recently completed, but

IT’S A NE

Parker can’t use it until its disinfection process is consistent with Aurora’s.

Chlorine will still be the primary disinfectant, but the district will add ammonia, to create the compound chloramine. Districts including Denver, Castle Rock and Aurora already use chloramine, which lasts longer than chlorine alone and doesn’t have as many issues with odor or taste, Tejada said.

Lisa Darling, executive director of the South Metro Water Supply Authority, said cooperation between the cities in the region is essential to “firming up the yield” of a sustainable water supply and providing for Parker and other South Metro partners. “‘Regional’ used to be a dirty word,” Darling said. “What we’ve found,

though, is that things work out better when you work with other people.”

The project will be the most expensive undertaking since completing the $52 million treatment facility at Parker Road and Woodman Drive in 2015.

The $40 million cost will be covered by a combination of tap fees from new developments, including $3 million from the Canyons development south of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir, $11 million from other WISE partners, and revenue from customer fees.

Tejada said rate increases are already scheduled to follow inflation trends, so customers shouldn’t expect sticker shock when they receive their next bill.

“Rates won’t increase any more than they already would have,” Tejada said.

Hundreds of millions of gallons of renewable water goes a long way, but other projects, like relying more on water rights purchased from farmers along the South Platte River, will eventually help meet the district’s goal of using 75 percent renewable water by Parker’s projected build out around 2040.

Darling said South Metro partners like Parker are also researching better conservation, reuse and storage methods, all to meet the authority’s goal of getting 85 percent of its water from sustainable sources by 2065.

It won’t end Tejada’s never-ending search for water, but she hopes to put the divining rod down, at least for a while.

“The important thing is it fills the gap and push back those other, big dollar projects,” Tejada said.

Mechanics of nature are wonder to behold How animals survive challenges of life is explored at Denver museum

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Family members of all ages will be fascinated to learn how animals are engineered to survive in our world despite ongoing challenges. “Nature’s Amazing Machines” opened June 16 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and will continue through New Year’s Day of 2018.

Adaptation is considered from the very large (how can a giraffe’s heart pump blood up its long neck to its brain?) to tiny (how can insects fly with no lungs?) to speed (how can a cheetah run so fast?).

The biomechanics of how animals and plants survive and adapt to extremely difficult conditions brings stories and examples from around the world and offers explanations in English and Spanish about their “biological pipes, pumps, insulation, motors and springs,” ability to compete for food, endure extreme temperatures, withstand external pressures such as wind, water and gravity …

Hands-on models and activities will focus on pumping blood, flying, speed, models of animal hearts, adaptation to temperature and more things one wonders about …

An added feature — while they last — is a set of trading cards featuring six different animals from the exhibition, with facts and suggested activities to try at home. There will be a new card each month, which invites return visits. Dr. Garth Spellman, the museum’s curator of ornithology and curatorial advisor for the exhibit, said, “Life on Earth is constantly struggling

Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animal. A new exhibit, “Nature’s Amazing Machines,” explores their mechanics as well as those of many other remarkable creatures at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science until Jan. 1, 2018.

COURTESY PHOTO to counter natural physical forces that are trying to drag us down. The exhibition reveals a myriad of incredible adaptations animals have evolved to combat nature’s assault.”

The exhibit was developed by Chicago’s Field Museum in partnership with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

Who am I? It’s complicated.

SPORTS ThunderRidge, Creek soccer players stand out

ThunderRidge junior Shae Holmes was chosen as Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Player of the Year.

PAUL DISALVO

Holmes, Geraghty honored as players of the year in south metro area

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Libby Geraghty and Shae Holmes were remarkably similar on this statistical sheet this spring.

Geraghty, a senior at Cherry Creek who is headed to the University of Colorado to play soccer, led the Centennial League in scoring with 51 points and goals with 21.

Holmes, a junior at ThunderRidge, was the Continental League’s top scorer with 47 points and also topped goal scorers in the league with 20 tallies.

Geraghty and Holmes have been tabbed as 2017 Colorado Com-

Cherry Creek senior Libby Geraghty’s achievements led to her choice as Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Player of the Year.

FILE PHOTO

munity Media South Metro Girls Soccer Co-Players of the Year.

Mountain Vista senior Taeya Schueppert was also strongly considered.

SOUTH METRO Geraghty ATHLETES wound up OF THE YEAR fourth in both points and goals in 5A statistics.

“She’s a fantastic player,” said Creek coach Jim Schneider.

“Libby is a rock star. She’s a bright light and unquestionably the leader of the team.”

Holmes, a left back on her Real Colorado team and a defender on the USA Under 18 national squad, is a forward for only two months a year.

She and her friend Maddie Duren made the ThunderRidge varsity as freshman, but the only place for Holmes to play was outside forward while Duran saw

playing time at left back.

Holmes just kept playing midfield and starting scoring goals.

“With Maddie and I on the wing kind of reminded me of my club and U.S. team,” said Holmes. “I was used to sending balls crossing like that. Since I got put in that spot, scoring came along with it. High school has been my time to go have some fun and score some goals.

“It’s definitely a blast. It’s something different and I learned something new each year since I don’t play the position yearround.”

The 2017 season could be Holmes’ last high school campaign if she decides to join the United States Development Academy.

“I’m leaning toward choosing the Academy over high school, which is a bummer,” she admitted. “It will be hard. I still want to be a part of the program and be a part of the atmosphere, be a manager or something.”

Legacy’s Buchanan has foul trouble — other people

E

arly last fall, Legacy boys soccer coach Tony Romano stopped counting fouls against senior forward Tajon Buchanan.

Buchanan was so good that many opposing players figured the best way to slow the Canadian import was OVERTIME to foul him.

“On the field he drew a tremendous amount of attention,” said Romano.

“After like five games last season I stopped counting after he had 80 fouls against him in like the first third of the season.

“Teams realized there Jim Benton was nothing they could do to defend that kid other than knock him down. Given that fact, getting fouled relentlessly, he didn’t get himself a lot of yellow cards.”

Buchanan moved into the Legacy district from the Toronto area with a friend and his family. He wanted to play for the United States Development Academy but didn’t get permission from U.S. soccer, so he played for Legacy.

Why soccer and not hockey was easy to answer, since Buchanan was recently named the Colorado Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year. He is a finalist for the National Player of the Year award.

He led all Class 5A scorers with 21 goals and 52 points.

“I’ve been coaching soccer at the high school level for 20 years and hands down he’s the best player I’ve ever coached,” said Romano. “He might be the best player I’ve seen at the high school level in 20 years. He’s truly amazing.”

Buchanan, a hard worker on the pitch and in the classroom, has signed to play soccer at Syracuse. He has the speed, agility, endurance, ball skills and soccer sense to play a lot at the next level.

“He goes around defenders like they are just standing there,” added Romano. “He is extremely deceptive. He’ll make you go left when he’s going right. He does it over and over and you even know it’s coming and you can’t do anything about it.

“If you had never seen him play, when he steps on the field and you watch him play for about 90 seconds, you say OK, that guy is at a whole another level than anyone else out there.”

Perry steps down Cherry Creek athletic director Jason Wilkins used twitter to announce that Bryan Perry is stepping down as the Bruins’ boys lacrosse coach.

Perry guided the Bruins to their record sixth state title on May 20 with a win over Regis Jesuit.

He was the coach for five of Creek’s title teams and has coached five state runner-up teams while compiling a 220-60 record in 15 years as Cherry Creek coach.

He coached four seasons at Arapahoe SEE BENTON, P23

Major League Baseball draft Major League Baseball scouts apparently aren’t leery about drafting pitchers from Colorado.

Left-handed pitcher Lucas Gilbreath, a 2014 Legacy graduate who just completed his junior year at the University of Minnesota, heads a list of seven players from schools in the Colorado Community Media circulation area who were selected in the June 12-14 Major League Baseball draft.

Gilbreath, an All-Big Ten selection who went 5-2 with a 2.66 earned run average and struck out 92 batters in 81.1 innings, was a seventh-round selection of the Colorado Rockies and the 206th overall pick in the draft.

Right-handed pitcher Peyton Remy, who went to Legend and played at Central Arizona, was the 525th selection and picked by the Chicago Cubs in the 17th round.

Four players who graduated this spring from area schools were

among the draftees and three were pitchers.

Rock Canyon right-handed pitcher Matt Given, who has signed with Xavier, was selected by Miami in the 20th round and Cleveland tabbed Heritage catcher Casey Opitz, an Arkansas commit, in the 27th round.

Jacob Hilton, a right-handed pitcher from Heritage who is committed to New Mexico, was a 28th round selection of the Texas Rangers, and the Rockies made Ralston Valley right-handed pitcher Drake Davis, an Arizona State commit, the draft’s 1,136th pick when he was chosen in the 38th round.

Two cited Colorado High School Activities Association associate commissioner Tom Robinson and longtime Denver Christian basketball coach Dick Katte will receive National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) citations on July 1 at the NFHS summer meetings in Providence, Rhode Island.

Two track competitors finished strong for year Evans, Nugent honored as south metro stars

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maya Evans and Drake Nugent both were unnoticeable early in the season but came on strong during the state track championships in May at Jefferson County Stadium.

Evans, a junior at Lutheran, didn’t become eligible until midway through the season after transferring from Vista Peak. Nugent, a touted sophomore football player at Highlands Ranch, showed immense improvement during the season.

SOUTH METRO At the state ATHLETES meet, Evans won three individual OF THE YEAR events, ran a leg on a state title relay team and set two Class 3A meet records. Nugent captured the Class 5A shot put title.

Evans has been selected as the 2017 Colorado Community Media Girls South Metro Track Athlete of the Year while Nugent is the Boys Track Athlete of the Year.

“Being out a big portion of the year, I trained harder in the off season but

Lutheran junior Maya Evans is the Colorado Community Media Girls South Metro Track Athlete of the Year.

my times weren’t there,” explained Evans. “Then I was getting back to where I needed to be from last year and my freshman year. I had a lot of support from Lutheran High School. They pushed me a lot. Sometimes I would want to stop doing things and they told me, `Maya you’ve got to push yourself.’

“I was very excited about the state meet. I wanted to do better at the state meet than other meets. When I hear

people say my name or ‘go Maya’, I get positive and put it all out on the track.”

Evans won the 100-meter dash in 11.83 and the 200 meters in 24.35. She set a class record with a winning effort of 19-05.25 in the long jump and ran the third leg of the Lions’ 4x100 championship relay team, which set a 3A record of 48.95.

Nugent, the Continental League champion, won the shot put on his final

throw of 51-10.50 “He improved almost 12 feet from his freshman to sophomore year to win state on his fourth and final throw,” said co-coach John Padjen.

“He is an extremely positive, hardworking athlete with great focus and desire to improve each week. He broke through the 50-foot mark at the Highlands Ranch Invitational May 6 and increased another foot two weeks later at the state meet.”

Improvement provided Nugent with motivation.

“At the start of the year my main goal was just to make it to state,” said Nugent. “A couple weeks into the season I made one throw at practice and it went five feet farther than all the other ones.

I asked myself: What did I do on that throw?

“I used my hips a lot more. Last year I tried to muscle it and my form was all messed up.”

Nugent won the Continental League crown with a 52-5.00 throw.

“Going into the last throw at state I was fourth and I knew I had a chance because nobody was really throwing that far and no one was like hitting their PRs (personal records),” he related. “So I thought if I could hit my PR or come close to it I could have a good chance of winning. I was pretty close but didn’t hit my PR. I didn’t hear them say the marking number but my coaches were happy after the final throw.”

aerospace and defense industry champion for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. “It is so important to have this organization here.”

The mission of NovaSpace is to facilitate an “explosion of ideas” by providing the community and platform essential for collaboration and growth, according to a news release. This “ecosystem for entrepreneurs” is designed to accelerate Colorado’s space industry into a global hub.

“With all this construction and change in the industry and the fact that Colorado is such a booming state as far as space assets are concerned, I think NovaSpace was a good idea,” said Jameel Barkat, managing partner at NovaSpace. “It really brings the community together and puts Colorado on the national and global stage as far as space is concerned.”

Colorado’s “space cluster” comprises more than 400 aerospace businesses and 50,000 employees, according to Barkat.

The aerospace industry in the state generates an annual payroll of more than $3 billion, according to the Colorado Space Coalition, a

group of industry leaders.

“We are here to connect industry stakeholders and to help navigate the industry to the new environment,” said Amaan Khan, government relations and legal affairs associate at NovaSpace. “It is really about building a network and creating collaboration.”

NovaSpace is a part of Centennial’s Innovation Pavilion, which markets itself as a company where “productive collisions lead to creative solutions.”

Startups and well-established companies alike can join forces in a collaborative environment.

Anyone who uses a navigation app or checks the weather has a connection to the space industry, Barkat said.

It is an accelerating industry, especially now that costs to launch satellites have been significantly reduced and satellites are becoming much smaller, Barkat said.

Colorado ranks No. 5 for states with the highest concentration of jobs in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But Barkat said the public has yet to recognize the significance of the industry in the state.

“There has not been sufficient collaboration between stakeholders to really make (Colorado) a force multiplier and to make aerospace more visible to the outside world,” Barkat said.
