DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO

BACK ON CAMPUS

Schools may apply for safety funding

Application deadline for piece of $10 million is Sept. 17

BY ALEX DEWIND AND JESSICA GIBBS STAFF WRITERS

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners has confirmed it will allow local schools to suggest how to spend funds the board pledged for school safety through an application process, but the commissioners will have final say over what spending is and is not approved.

Meanwhile, the Douglas County School District’s board of education has said it is still too early know if, and for what purposes, the public school district will pursue county money.

The district has already allocated $429,000 for seven additional school resource officers and has hired 80 new counselors. Money from a $250 million bond approved by voters last November is going toward physical security improvements in schools.

Commissioners on Aug. 7 formally announced they would allow public, charter and private schools to submit applications to receive portions of a $10 million offer from the county.

RidgeGate Parkway: The road to the future RidgeGate Parkway is being widened as big development approaches

ed Douglas and Elbert counties.

Once the road opened, getting from I-25 to eastern Douglas County immediately became easier. About a year or two in, the not-so-secret RidgeGate Parkway began to reach its capacity.

“Consequently, with all the growth that is occurring … people now, in the morning and evening commutes, they avoid RidgeGate Parkway because how congested it gets, especially where it narrows down and you approach I-25,” said Tom Williams, Parker’s director of public works.

Parker Road and other town roadways bear the brunt of extra traffic congestion for people traveling south of town who could be better suited using RidgeGate Parkway instead of Parker Road, he said.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The frequent traffic backups along RidgeGate Parkway are something to be expected these days. With just two lanes — one in each direction — for through traffic, backups can reach half a mile from the stoplight at the RidgeGate and I-25 interchange.

Recent counts show the traffic in that area to be between 26,00 and 28,000 cars per day, according to Lone Tree’s public works director, Justin Schmitz. The city does regular counts of traffic. That range is an average over an entire week. Typically, it is recommended that a road be expanded to four lanes once it hits about 16,000 cars per day, Schmitz said. A count of roughly 36,000 cars per day typically calls for expanding to six lanes.

To address the problem, the City of Lone Tree has spearheaded the RidgeGate Parkway Widening Project, a nearly $27 million expense shared by several funding partners. By 2021, plans call for the road to be expanded to four lanes, with bike paths and sidewalks. From I-25 to Peoria, the road will eventually widen to six

Cars travel west on RidgeGate Parkway from the Parker area during morning rush hour Aug. 12. The two-lane road will soon be expanded to four once the RidgeGate Parkway Widening Project finishes in 2021.

“This has been an ongoing need for the region,” Schmitz said.

Though RidgeGate Parkway gets its name for the neighborhood it cuts through, it turns into Parker’s Mainstreet, which is just about at the town’s center — making it a major arterial road not just for future Lone Tree residents, but for Parker residents on their way to and from work.

And for the time being, it’s mostly Parker residents.

The Town of Parker is not contributing any funds to the widening project, but officials have been coordinating with Parker on the project.

“It’s good for northeast Douglas County,” said Chris Hudson, Parker’s public works manager. “And also, truthfully, western Elbert County.

There are a lot of people that live there that commute through.”

Background Hudson began working for the town in 1999. During a meeting in Parker shortly after he started, Hudson recalled the initial discussions about what is known today as RidgeGate Parkway.

At the time, a two-lane dirt road cut diagonally through northern Douglas County, connecting with Lincoln Avenue, and it was known as West Parker Road.

“There were times when people said ‘RidgeGate is never going to go to I-25. Mainstreet’s never going to I-25,’” Hudson said. “You’ve got to believe. And it finally did.”

RidgeGate Parkway was extended to connect with Parker’s Mainstreet in 2011. It cut through what is now known as RidgeGate East, providing yet another east-west connection for commuters from Parker, Franktown, Elizabeth and parts of unincorporat-

‘Meet the needs of today’ The RidgeGate Parkway Widening Project is being constructed in two phases. The first phase began in April and is expected to be finished

by January. That phase includes the construction of two bridges, one crossing Badger Gulch and another across Happy Canyon Creek. The second phase began recently and includes earth work and prep work to widen the rest of the parkway. Phase two is not expected to be finished until spring of 2021.

“To the general public, as you drive it today, you should not anticipate any significant delays. The current lane capacity — one lane each direction — that will be maintained throughout the entire project,” Schmitz said.

“There may be short-time closures for a little bit of work, but during peak hours it’s going to remain in the same condition it is in today. Once it is complete, they (drivers) will experience (better traffic).”

The $26.9 million project is being funded by multiple partners. The Colorado Department of Transportation and the Denver Regional Council of Governments funded about $6.4 million. Douglas County contributed $2.5 million, the Southeast Public Improvement Metro District contributed $2.5 million and the Rampart Range Metro District contributed $15.5 million. The project is managed by the city.

“The county stepped up and put a lot of money into this project with Lone Tree,” Hudson said.

Local students return to school

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

chool is back in session for Douglas County students, and that means welcoming a new class of freshmen at area high schools. Aug. 7 was the freshman orientation for Ponderosa High School students. The school welcomed 363 freshmen this year.

The new students got to know each other during the orientation assembly.

For an icebreaker exercise, two groups of freshmen competed in a team balloon-popping contest in which teammates linked arms and squeezed the balloon between their backs.

Dawson Hadwiger teamed up with senior leader Jenna Wallace. The three-sport athlete said he’s excited to start high school, where the kids are more mature.

“I’m excited for meeting new friends and new people and being a leader,” Hadwiger said.

DA calls for measures to curb gun violence

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the days following a pair of highprofile mass shootings, one in Ohio and one in Texas, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler announced a multi-pronged plan to prevent gun violence in his jurisdiction.

The bulk of his approach, announced in a statement Aug. 6, will lean on existing Colorado gun laws to crack down on illegal firearms transactions. But it also calls for legislation in 2020 that would strengthen penalties for illegal gun possession among felons and revamp the state’s mental-health hold system.

“Our gun laws need to have teeth, sharp teeth,” Brauchler said regarding convicted felons who obtain guns.

He has also requested Brauchler funding from county commissioners in the 18th Judicial District — which comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties — for an additional investigator who would work with local agencies to probe illegal firearms transactions.

Brauchler chided the nature of national debates over mass shooting and gun violence prevention that flare with each new tragedy. Debate surged nationwide the weekend of Aug. 3 following shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The shootings left a

I

combined 31 people dead, the Associated Press reported.

Brauchler’s announcement said his plans rely on “practical measures” that should “be quickly implemented here in Colorado.”

“We must resist getting caught up in a debate of ‘Who is right?’ instead of ‘What is right?’ Rather than getting mired down in controversial and divisive legislation, I am committed to implementing measures in my jurisdiction now using tools the Legislature has already given,” he said.

The announcement did not name any one piece of legislation in particular, but the 2019 state legislative session produced fiery battles in the gun rights arena.

Colorado in April ushered in a contentious red flag law that has spurred talk of recall efforts against supporters like Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, who passionately backed the legislation as it worked through the Democrat-controlled state Legislature in 2019. The act is named for fallen Douglas County Deputy Zackari Parrish.

The red flag law allows a judge to order a person’s guns be removed if they are believed to a significant risk to themselves or others. The committee planning to recall Spurlock hopes to begin circulating petitions this fall.

The 2019 bill was not the first attempt at red flag legislation in Colorado. In the previous session, a similar bill was introduced but voted

down. Brauchler, a Republican from Parker, supported the prior version but backed away from the 2019 version, citing concerns over differences between the two bills.

Here’s more on what Brauchler says should be done to curb gun violence in the 18th Judicial District and Colorado, per his Aug. 6 announcement: Brauchler says there are existing Colorado laws aimed at denying firearms “to those in our neighborhoods who should not have them.” He names felons, domestic violence perpetrators and the dangerously mentally ill as examples of people who are prohibited by law from purchasing firearms.

“But a significant number of them do it anyway,” he said. “Those cases do not always make it to court. I want to see gun sellers and police working together to more vigorously enforce those existing laws.”

Brauchler has assigned his secondin-command within the district attorney’s office, Assistant District Attorney Matt Maillaro, to lead an effort among local and federal law enforcement agencies, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and holders of federal firearms licenses “to create an enhanced approach to the detection, investigation and prosecution of these crimes.”

Brauchler hopes to find bill sponsors who will take up legislation to strengthen penalties for felons who obtain weapons illegally. He says felons who illegally possess firearms can be

convicted of a low-level felony and leave court with probation, multiple times.

“Even less penalties exist if a felon illegally attempts to purchase a firearm by lying to a seller,” he said.

He says felons who attempt to illegally acquire a firearm, successfully acquire a firearm, and those who provide them with the firearms illegally, should face prison time.

He also calls on the Legislature to “fix our broken and ineffective 72-hour mental health hold law. Its failures do not keep us safer and do nothing to help those most in need.”

The announcement pointed to Colorado’s painful history with gun violence, naming the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, the 2017 killing of Douglas County Sheriff ’s Deputy Zackari Parrish and the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting, which occurred just three months ago.

Each tragedy drew national attention and happened within the 18th Judicial District. The announcement also noted the close proximity of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre to the district.

“There is no debate that we need to keep firearms out of the hands of people who legally should not have them. We need laws on the books that promise punishment of people who knowingly thwart those rules,” Brauchler said. “I urge those who share these beliefs to join me in implementing them.”

Easy Qualify Mortgages for Seniors on Fixed Income

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

5 things to know: Housing market flattening out

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver area’s real estate boom that saw rents and housing prices skyrocket in recent years is slowing down, experts say.

“It’s flattened out a lot,” said Jill Schafer, the head of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors’ Market Trends Committee. “It’s still a good market for sellers, but buyers are regaining a lot more leverage.”

Here are five things to know: Inventory is up Inventory of homes for sale is way up, with 9,520 homes for sale in the metro area in July — an increase of 28% over last year, and a level not seen since 2013, before the latest boom.

Increasing the supply side of the equation eases the frenzy among buyers, Schafer said.

“We’re seeing far fewer multipleoffer situations,” she said.

Prices are holding steady, with the median housing price of $428,000 up just 1.9% over last year.

That’s below the ideal appreciation rate of 3% to 5% per year, Schafer said, but eases the pressure on buyers after years of sometimes double-digit growth rates.

It also loosens up the market for sellers, she said.

“A lot of people didn’t want to sell because they didn’t know where to go,” Schafer said. “It locked up the market.

But now, they have places to go.”

Starter homes still lag The market for starter homes is still tight, Schafer said, because much of the new inventory is still high-priced stock.

That’s thanks to a convergence of market conditions, she said: Land in

the metro area is expensive, and tariffs imposed on raw materials by President Trump are driving up construction costs. Further, high demand for contractors means they can name high prices, Schafer said.

The result, Schafer said, is that there’s little motivation for developers to build starter homes. The majority of starter home building is in places like Denver, which offers subsidies to build lower-cost homes.

Condo construction is starting to tick back up after years of underbuilding, Schafer said, which may be an outcome of a 2017 law meant to ease the burden on builders imposed by a 2005 law that made it easier to sue condo builders.

Just asking...

Price reductions are becoming more common, Schafer said, with high-end homes seeing the biggest shift.

Homes priced between $1.5 million and $1.75 million are being sold for 91% of asking price on average, Schafer said.p Starter homes and lower-end homes are e selling for much closer to asking price. t g “There are sellers who overvalue their homes,” Schafer said. “They’re s paying attention to automated websites. Those sites don’t know if you’re i on a busy street or the condition of the C t property.”

H The slowdown means it’s more important than ever for sellers to enlist fi the help of a professional, Schafer said. fi v “People can’t price like they could fi two years ago,” Schafer said. “For a long time, people didn’t have to do any- 3 thing to their house and it would sell.

Now, you really need to get the place in a shape first. It can take months of work G w to get the highest price.” g c Great time for buyers, but beware The increase in housing inventoryJ is good news for buyers especially when coupled with still-low mortgage interest rates, Schafer said.

That said, there are still perils to look out for.

An experienced real estate agent can recognize red flags, Schafer said, like fix-and-flip properties that have been done poorly, or multi-unit projects that are in trouble.

Fight that preceded stabbing started over victim’s girlfriend HOUSING

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Lakewood man arrested on suspicion of killing another man in Parker on Aug. 4 stabbed the man once in the middle of a fight over the victim’s girlfriend, according to witnesses’ statements in court documents.

Kyle Gingles, 23, is being held at the Douglas County jail on more than $100,000 bond.

He faces charges of first-degree murder and first-degree assault. The victim has been identified as Seth Stephens, Gingles 37.

The following are accounts of events as described by Gingles’ grandfather and a woman who told police she was the victim’s girlfriend, according to the probable cause document provided by the 18th Judicial District on Aug. 8.

Gingles and his grandfather drove from Lakewood to Parker about 6 p.m. on Aug. 4 to pick up clothes from a residence, according to the grandfather. At the residence were Stephens and his girlfriend. The woman reported she was doing her hair inside the house when the fighting began.

Prior to that, Gingles and Stephens had exchanged words via text message, the woman told police.

Gingles had reportedly told Stephens earlier that day that Stephens’ girlfriend was cheating on him while Stephens was in jail. Stephens had been arrested July 22 for violating parole and was out of jail on bond, according to court records.

Stephens confronted Gingles and shouted something to incite him as soon as he stepped out of the car, according to the girlfriend, documents show. The two then shoved each other and began fighting.

Gingles’ grandfather told police he tried to break up the fight because

Gingles was losing. The grandfather said he bear-hugged Stephens and they all fell to the ground. Then, Gingles got up and kicked Stephens in the head, Stephens’ girlfriend told police.

According to security footage, the report reads, Gingles appeared to have pulled something out of his pocket and thrust the object into Stephens’ torso. Police were called and the fighting ended. Stephens was helped up but collapsed on the driveway. He was taken to Parker Adventist Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m.

Gingles and his grandfather left the scene in a black Honda sedan and went back to Lakewood. Police made an arrest that evening.

Gingles had two prior warrants.

The first was a felony out of Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office for contempt of court with a $2,500 bond. The second was a misdemeanor out of Denver Police Department.

lack of contractors,” Schafer said.

On the flip side, some projects have too much inventory building up, in some cases because builders are overpricing homes. In some places, that’s because landscaping or accompanying commercial developments are way behind schedule.

Expect more scrapes Though Denver has outlawed the construction of slot homes — jamming multiple-unit structures into single-family home neighborhoods — communities can expect more scrapeoff homes, where builders demolish an older home and replace it with a new home that’s often far larger.

“Buyers love new,” Schafer said. “They want the latest and greatest. You’d think with all these fix-’em-up shows on TV about old homes, people would want to go that way, but they don’t. They’re willing to pay for something modern.”

‘Ghost bike’ memorializes Parker cyclist White bicycle near crash site dedicated to Chuck Vogel

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A white bike now stands at the site on Pine Drive where Edward “Chuck” Vogel, 62, was struck and killed by a driver the morning of July 4. It’s garnished with flowers from loved ones and a plaque with his name and the year 2019. A small, wooden sign with a simple message — the shape of a heart and the letter “U” — hangs from the metal framing, commemorating a “(heart) U”sticky note Chuck left his wife Teri on the microwave the day he died.

The “ghost bike” in front of the Parker Core Knowledge School is a memorial to Chuck, who was killed by a driver while taking an Independence Day morning ride. It was dedicated Aug. 9 by his widow, Teri, under a tree near where the crash occurred on Pine Drive.

During a short speech to the crowd of supporters, Teri described Chuck as more of a behind-the-scenes guy who didn’t like the limelight. But this, however, was something she wanted to bring as much attention to as possible.

“Our goal is to move forward and make a greater good come from the thing that has happened,” Teri Vogel said. “I want you to stop and think, ‘Who was that person?’ Because it’s not just the bike, it’s the person who was on that bike. It’s their family. It’s their friends. It’s their community and what they represented to those people.”

Ghost bikes are commonly used to memorialize cyclists who are killed on the road. The bike serves as a subtle symbol of a need for change in culture to make the roads safer for cyclists.

The man who struck Vogel was allegedly exceeding the speed limit. There is also no bike lane on Pine Drive, and cyclists in that area are forced to ride hugging the shoulder.

Teri Vogel teamed up with Bicycle Colorado to dedicate the ghost bike to Chuck. The nonprofit group advocates

“It’s not right that we should fear for our loved ones when they’re riding a bike. No one should fear for their lives riding a bicycle or walking down the street,” Piccolo said. “We know (the deaths) are preventable. There’s no silver bullet that will eliminate that tomorrow, but we know what to do to put a significant dent in this safety crisis.”

The ghost bike for Chuck was part of what was a somber July for cyclists.

At least two other cyclists in the metro area were killed on the road that month.

“We can make a difference by working together, and I do believe one of the best ways to honor Chuck’s life is

Hanging on the handlebars of a ghost bike dedicated to Chuck Vogel is a little sign with a heart symbol and the letter “U” on one side, and a “(heart) U too” on the other. On the morning he was killed while riding his bike, Chuck left a sticky note for his wife with the “(heart) U” note before leaving the house.

SAFETY FROM PAGE 1

“We are a board that believes strong communities find common ground and unite for positive change during difficult times,” Commissioner Roger Partridge, board chairman, said in a statement.

Commissioners in May allocated $10 million in one-time funds to boost mental health Partridge support and physical security in county schools, along with $3 million a year to support SROs. The move was a response to a shooting earlier that month at STEM School Highlands Ranch in which one student was killed and eight others were injured.

The commissioners formed two committees, one for mental health and the other for physical security, that made recommendations on how to spend the money.

Based on the committees’ findings, the county also announced Aug. 7 six areas in which it plans to focus the spending: • Assessments of school security, climate and culture.

• Improving physical school security, such as secured building access.

• Training for law enforcement, security guards, school personnel, parents and students.

• Social emotional learning and

“Ultimately, we have to have an IGA, and if it requires, or if an application requires too much specificity and does not move us completely forward with security, it actually is hurting us because we are revealing things that our security experts think should not be revealed,” board member Krista Holtzmann said.

If the district receives pushback on its request for an IGA, Ray said he would support a decision to decline the commissioners’ offer for the funds.

“It’s not worth it to compromise the safety of our kids to pursue that funding,” Ray said, adding, “It’s a hard thing to say. It would be unfortunate if procedurally there is a breakdown.”

The next step for the district is to make clear how they will respond to the commissioners’ Ray proposal. A timeline was not specified at the meeting.

“Dr. Tucker has clarity in terms of how we move forward,” Ray said.

Tucker echoed that statement and recognized the commissioners’ goal to fund some “unique things like emerging technology.”

“I absolutely understand the position of the board, as well as the board and administration being appreciative of the funding,” Tucker said.

VOICES

The last, final diatribe on an unneeded, unnecessary word

, like, give up.

Once a year for the past eight years, I have written a column about the extra-grammatical use of the word “like” and QUIET its part in the ruination of the English DESPERATION language.

Each column has included the disclaimer that I am an imperfect grammarian myself, and I am not the ultimate arbiter of what is and is not good English.

But I know what I Craig Marshall like, as it were.

I thought by now Smith “like” would have gone away, but I see and hear that

it hasn’t and now consider it a lost cause.

Therefore, this will be my final diatribe.

I refer anyone who cares about language to John McWhorter. McWhorter is associate professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, where he teaches linguistics.

He wrote “The Evolution of `Like’: How the ubiquitous, often-reviled word associated with young people and slackers represents the everchanging English language” for The Atlantic (November 25, 2016).

It is far more insightful than I am capable of being, but I simply think “like” is an example of a dreadful verbal laziness.

There’s a title of a chapter in one of

McWhorter’s books — “Words on the Move” — that summarizes the problem: “When Words Stop Being Words.”

It’s natural to hem and haw, and stumble a bit in casual conversations.

Everyone at a dinner table doesn’t speak in concise sentences, like they often do in films.

We stop, we start over, change in mid-word to something else.

McWhorter calls that “easing” language.

But for some, that eased language is all the time.

I have decided to concede to it after a recent experience in a dentist’s chair, which, for many, would be torture enough.

I was reclined in a chair, numbed to the gills, and with a contraption in my mouth. Helpless, powerless.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Development fact check Awhile back, as a young home owner, I signed a piece of paper from a roofer thinking it was for an estimate, but in reality it was a contract.

I learned my lesson then, so I implore you now to do your research before signing a petition regarding the downtown Pine Curve/PACE lots.

A lot of misleading information has been spread in order to get you to sign. Some of the petitioners are pulling on your emotions with little facts shared but instead focus on buzzwords meant to affect your judgment. For example, they state that the My Mainstreet survey left out open space or parks choices for Pine Curve. That’s because the town is utilizing citizen feedback from the Parker 2035 Master Plan approved in 2012 and the Mainstreet Master Plan approved in 2015. Also, the Parks and Rec Department has not identified either the PACE Lot or Pine Curve sites as viable candidates for open space per the Open Space, Trails & Greenways Master Plan from 2010.

Another example is the town only wants commercial development.

In reality, our town supports parks and open space (1,200-plus acres in Parker). In addition, I give you two worthy projects that the town has recently backed: Harvie Open Space (72 acres) and Salisbury Park North Expansion (90 acres).

Todd Hendreks Parker Council needs to listen Two Parker Town Council votes reveal efforts to limit citizen input: 1) On Aug. 5, the Council approved Resolution 19-065, which controls and limits public comment at council meetings. It’s hidden behind Big Brother newspeak as a way to “foster community creativity and engagement” and “promote a safe and healthy community.” It does the opposite.

It limits general comments from citizens at the beginning of council meetings to 30 minutes. If additional citizens want to speak, they are shunted aside until “business” of council is done, thus discouraging participation. The resolution also gives any mayor the easily abusable power of “determin[ing] the order of speakers” and clearing council chambers “of all attendees.”

This resolution unduly limits citizen speech.

On one side of me was the dentist, who was removing a crown ahead of replacing it.

On the other side of me was an assistant.

(Both are very professional, highly competent, and personable.)

The assistant began a conversation that included three “likes” per sentence, at a minimum. It was the deep dish of agony, and I told Jennifer that it was worse than the excavation that was going on in my mouth.

I imagined I was hearing dialogue from “Clueless.”

Who’s the boss? You’re the boss

W

hether you are a business owner, an executive, a manager, or a supervisor with a team of people reporting to you, or you are someone who reports into another person, guess what? You are all still the boss.

That’s right, you are all still the boss. What do I mean by that? I mean that regardless of our role or title, it is ultimately our responsibility to perform at the highest level possible for ourselves and our teams. And we do not WINNING strive for that just WORDS because we have to, we strive for that because we want to. If all we ever do is take orders from those in charge of us or above us in our department or by title, all we will ever do is live up to is their expectations and never our own.

Michael Norton And we will probably find ourselves always reporting to someone else.

Just think about this for a moment.

Who does the CEO report to? Well if there is a board of directors, the CEO usually reports into the board. If the CEO only took the direction of the board and wasn’t innovative, driven, and inspiring, they probably wouldn’t be the CEO for much longer. And what

about the chairman of the board, who do they report to? They report to the shareholders, don’t they? Well if they didn’t hold themselves to a higher standard and constantly think of ways to improve productivity, revenues, and returns, they probably would be replaced.

Chairmen, CEOs, owners, managers, and all level of personnel within an organization should always be thinking beyond what others expect of them when it comes to performance.

As a matter of fact, all of us, personally and professionally would do well to think about how we can do better and achieve more than we have ever done or have accomplished before. We should always be thinking about how we could raise the bar for ourselves and not wait for a performance review or feedback from others.

Pride of ownership isn’t just relevant for the ownership of a company; pride of ownership comes with owning and being held accountable to ourselves for the job that we are doing regardless of who we are working with or for, or what the job involves. Personal pride doesn’t mean we work more hours than we should, although it could if it means completing something that meets our own standards.

Investing 101: Don’t look for instant gratification

T

he media continues to satisfy our need for instant information, but how much is too much? Many folks tell me they are on information overload.

Also, some news stories can make you feel inadequate if you don’t understand all the acronyms they use. Instead of empowering us as investors, this tweet type of news snippets that appear all day long on your FINANCIAL phone or computer STRATEGIES are not helping, they may actually be hurting your chances of being a good investor.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett defines investing as “… the process of laying out money now to receive Patricia Kummer more money in the future.” My simple definition is to take risk now for future return.

This would indicate that reward is not instant but takes time. This could be the disconnect from what we expect in our daily lives, which is usually instant gratification in everything from our first cup of cof-

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

Personal pride means that we don’t expect others to do our job. It means we hold ourselves accountable for completing the task or job at hand and getting it right. Personal pride means that once we are capable, we do not have to be told what to do, we know what is required and get it done.

You know the saying, “You’re not the boss of me.” We usually hear that in a facetious or sarcastic tone, or when someone is angry with another person for trying to boss them around. But guess what, unless we take ownership for our actions and become our own boss in all that we do, someone else will really be the boss of us as we lose control of our own future.

Who’s the boss? You’re the boss.

It’s in locker rooms, art galleries, “cool” restaurants.

And it doesn’t mean a thing.

“Like,” used correctly, is overused as well.

I tried to get my students to say something else about their drawings than “I like it,” or “I don’t like it,” which are headlines without content.

Do you look at the stock market more than once a day? Do you look at your investment accounts more than once a month? If so, you too may have fallen in the trap of thinking you should see results quickly.

This can backfire if you make decisions to abandon a certain investment if it has not performed in the first month, quarter or year. This is where knowledge around portfolio construction could be helpful. It can help determine how many short, intermediate and long-term assets you need. It probably doesn’t make sense to look at the long-term holding (meaning 10 years plus) every day or even every month. This could cause you to sell prematurely and miss out on future benefits.

It is important to understand at least the basics before you invest.

Learn about paying yourself first by saving each month off the top of your paycheck instead of waiting to see if anything is left over after you take care of other expenses.

That’s right, you’re the boss. Now I wouldn’t go into work tomorrow and tell your manager that, or go home tonight and tell your spouse that, but I would recommend letting others see that you are driven, you are inspired, and you are attempting to do everything possible to create a brighter future.

So how about you? Whether you are an owner, an executive, a manager, or if you report up to someone else, do you feel like you own your job and your success? If not, let me know. If you do, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we realize we are the boss and in control of a better tomorrow, it really will be a better than good week.

Review lessons in compounding and how that takes time to multiply your balances. Revisit inflation and how that works against you and how even nominal inflation adds up during your lifetime.

The next step is to identify goals and resources, and only then is it appropriate to start building a strategy for investing.

Sometimes long-term goals lack incentive in this instant society, so consider this example of eight percent compounding: It requires investing almost $3,000 per month for a 50-year-old to attain $1 million by age 65. However, it only takes $190 per month for a 20-year-old to attain the same amount by 65. In this example the 50-year-old would have spent an additional $417,600 to reach the same goal.

Meat alternatives grow in popularity Restaurant owners, health expert weigh in on benefits, challenges

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

G

one are the days when vegans and vegetarians couldn’t order a hamburger on the menu.

Alternative meat brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Burger are popping up in not only sit-down restaurants and grocery stores, but also fast food joints across the country.

They call it the future of protein: the Beyond Burger uses a mix of legumes, oils, rice protein, potato starch and other vegan-friendly ingredients, whereas the Impossible Burger is made from mostly soy. Both substances are processed into a patty or sausage, or ground up into crumbles for recipes such as tacos.

According to Forbes.com, the plantbased craze is on the rise, with 95% of U.S. grocery stores selling plantbased meat products and an increasing number of restaurants adding similar options to their menus.

Wes Moralez, who owns the Brutal Poodle on South Broadway in Denver, decided to start serving the Beyond Burger in his heavymetal-themed restaurant earlier this year. The plant-based alternative looks and tastes like beef, he said, adding that the product fits his clientele.

“Here we have a niche concept that revolves around heavymetal punk rock,” Moralez said. “In that scene, there are a ton of vegans and vegetarians.”

But the growing popularity and limited supply of the products has presented challenges for some restaurants.

That was the case for Curtis Baca, manager of Steuben’s in Arvada.

“We would never be able to get them,” he said of the Impossible Burger. “So we couldn’t keep it on the menu.”

Instead his restaurant serves a plant-based veggie burger that is made in-house. While he doesn’t see many plant-based eaters, the customers who try the burger alternative

Qdoba is one of many fast-food joints to carry Impossible meat. The plant-based option is said to taste and look like ground beef.

ALEX DEWIND

tend to enjoy it, he said.

Reasons for jumping on the plantbased bandwagon vary, but many people do so for the health and environmental benefits.

Jerry Casados, a plant-based nutritionist from Parker, switched

his diet 12 years ago after several scares with heart disease, high blood pressure and weight gain. Rather than moving forward with more medical tests, he decided to try a strict plant-based diet, combined with medication, for 30 days.

“My cholesterol dropped about 30 points,” Casados said. “My doctor said, ‘What did you do?’ I said, ‘I changed my diet,’ and that’s the last time I saw him.”

Casados, who worked in information technology, went back to school to become a nutritionist and is now off all medication. He and his wife host a yearly summit to inform others on the benefits of plant-based eating.

The approach, he said, is more holistic.

“All your vitamins and minerals are in the plants themselves,” Casados said. “It heals the body in different ways.”

When it comes to meat alternatives

WHERE TO TRY MEAT ALTERNATIVES • Burger King serves the Impossible Whopper.

• Qdoba serves Impossible Foods’ plant-based beef alternative.

• The Brutal Poodle, 1967 S. Broadway, Denver, serves the Beyond Burger.

• Bar Louie, 6911 S. Vine St. #700, Centennial, serves the Impossible Burger.

• C.B. & Potts, 43 Centennial Blvd., Highlands Ranch, serves the Impossible Burger.

• Steuben’s, 7355 Ralston Road, Arvada, serves a plant-based meat substitute.

Denver Zoo welcomes African lion cub Dad Tobias’ arrival to Predator Ridge in 2018 proves fruitful for species survival plan STAFF REPORT

The birth of an African lion cub this summer has given Denver Zoo a lot to roar about.

The cub, whose sex has yet to be determined, was born July 25 to mom Neliah, 7, and dad Tobias, 3, according to a news release. Animal care staffers say mom and cub are both healthy and active, and are bonding behind the scenes in Benson Predator Ridge.

Although the cub won’t make his or her public debut until later this summer, guests can still catch a glimpse of Neliah and her cub on the TV screens during the daily 2 p.m. “Pahali Ya Simba” lion demonstration at Predator Ridge, the release said.

“This is Neliah’s second time around as a mom, so we were confident she’d show all the correct behaviors with her new cub,” assistant curator of predators Matt Lenyo said in the release. “She immediately started grooming and nursing the cub, which is exactly what we hoped she would do.”

Half of Africa’s lions have disappeared in the past 25 years and the

An African lion cub was born this summer at Denver Zoo to mom Neliah, 7, and dad Tobias, 3. Although the cub won’t make his or her public debut until later this summer, guests can still catch a glimpse of Neliah and her cub on the TV screens in Pahali Ya Simba.

COURTESY OF DENVER ZOO species faces growing threats from poaching, loss of prey and habitat destruction, the release said. The cub’s birth is a huge success for the Lion Species Survival Plan, which ensures healthy, genetically diverse popula-

tions of lions within Association of Zoos and Aquariums institutions, and is managed by Denver Zoo’s vice president for animal care, Hollie Colahan.

The species survival plan recom-

mended that Tobias be moved to t Denver Zoo in 2018 as a potential mate m for Neliah and her daughter, Kamara, o and was introduced to the three lions “ n in the zoo’s female pride. w “Tobias hasn’t fathered any cubs previously, which makes his genetics f t important to the AZA lion population,” said Colahan, who also serves I as the program leader for the African i Lion SAFE (Saving Animals from Ex- f tinction) Program. “The fact that he’s already successfully mated with one b of our females speaks to the work our b lion team put in to make Tobias feel r comfortable in his new home in such a r y short period of time.”

Neliah and the cub will stay behind the scenes for at least one to two months to give them time to bond and gradually introduce the cub to the rest H of the pride. They’ll primarily stay in their den box, which the animal care m p provides to mimic the space Neliah would seek out to give birth in the p wild.

Neliah will still have access to other o holding areas behind the scenes, but s the addition of the den box gives her a t sense of security for her and her cub. I a In the meantime, footage of Neliah s and the cub in their den box will be shown on the TV screens in the Pahali 2 Ya Simba building in Benson Predator a o Ridge.

Follow Denver Zoo on Facebook, c Twitter and Instagram for regular updates and to find out when you can r t come see the cub for the first time.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

the library, to a developer for possible multifamily housing, a strip mall and offices. The town claims it partnered “with residents, developers and businesses to define what the community wanted to see....” However, the town refused to consider open space or a park, though many residents requested them.

I join many other Parker citizens in calling for council to let citizens decide the fate of Pine Curve.

Aug. 19 is an important day for citizenbased government in Parker. Tell council by your voice and/or your presence to reject the Pine Curve contract and to rescind Resolution 19-065. Tell council you want it to listen to its citizens.

Michael Roueche Parker How about an events center?

I was serving on the planning commission in 2002 when the first master plan for Pine Curve was developed.

The current citizens committee to protect Pine Curve is correct. The use of this space has never included open space or park; it has always been slated to be developed. However, in 2012, when I heard that council was considering a “strip mall” with supermarket, gas station and bank, conflicting with the 2002 master plan, I circulated a walking and online petition advising residents of this proposal.

Since then, I have reminded town council that they still owe the town a replacement for the civic/events center they tore down. You remember the

“Quonset Hut” on Mainstreet. We need an “events center” like they have in other cities, where the center is built jointly with a bank or other large enterprise. In conjunction with the events center, an aesthetically pleasing parking garage could also be built. These items meet the use and architectural requirements in the 2002 original master plan” as well as other Pine Curve reviews that have taken place over the years.

I am not a proponent of leaving the curve an open space. It is too desolate for that. It would need to be developed into a park that would probably prove just as costly as developing an events center. While a park would not bring any revenue to the town, and comes with ongoing costs to maintain it, an events center would bring in revenue.

Dianne Bailey Parker Take action I fled communist China for the U.S. in 1988, and bought my first home in Parker with my husband in 1999. We chose Parker because of its small town feel and lots of open space. Over the past 20 years, we worked hard, raised three children and a dog, living the American Dream.

In the last eight years though, Parker has changed a lot and is getting more congested. Twice, the council wanted to sell Pine Curve open space for more commercial development, but the citizens stopped the sale each time by campaigning against the sale. I participated in those grassroots activities and felt great that we made the difference.

I truly believed in “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

Last March, the council voted 4-2 to sell the open space again, along with the

PACE Center grassy area, regardless of the past opposition. They chose not to put the issue on the ballot for the voters to decide what to do with these properties. When people showed up in droves to express their opposition this time, the council voted to change the public comment rules to limit public comments at the beginning to 30 minutes, giving the mayor the power of determining the order of speakers and clearing the chamber room without the votes of council (Res.19-065).

When the elected politicians don’t listen to us, we take action. Please join the citizens ballot initiative at https://www. facebook.com/RethinkPineCurve Lily Tang Williams Parker Fight fire with fire Gun violence, particularly mass shootings, has tragically been taking the lives of innocents in our country in alarming rates over the past several decades. Blaming any president for the actions of mentally ill or unstable people is just irresponsible. I don’t recall anyone blaming past presidents for mass shootings including Columbine, the Aurora theater, and more.

According to a 2015 report on arms trafficking by Mexico’s governmental research service, known as the CESOP, an estimated 2,000 weapons illegally enter Mexico from the United States every day. The report says 85 percent of the approximately 15 million weapons that were in circulation in Mexico in 2012 were illegal.

Securing our borders is a huge first step into stopping gun violence. Since the bad guys won’t be offering up their weapons anytime soon, unless trained,

honest gun owners are willing to carry 24/7 (like a true citizen’s militia), and are willing to use them properly, I don’t see how this problem will ever end.

Barbara Adams Parker DCSD has made strides As a long time Douglas county resident, a parent of two Douglas county school district graduates, and as I look forward to the birth of my first grandchild, I am reminded once again of the importance of our local school board.

I am looking forward to supporting pro-public education candidates who can continue the progress our current school board has achieved. I have personally appreciated the increased parent and community outreach efforts, the increased transparency and the hiring of an experienced, nationally honored superintendent. I was thrilled to see the passage of the bond and mill levy override to update and improve the structure and safety our public school buildings and provide funding to give our teachers a long overdue raise, as well as funding for additional counselors and school resource officers.

Great progress has been made in the past few years. Teacher retention has improved, and many of the destructive reform policies have been rewritten. Improvements take time and there is work yet to be done. My wish today is the same as it was 10 years ago: that the current and future students of Douglas county receive the same great public education that my children enjoyed. I encourage all my fellow empty nesters to pay attention, ask questions and then vote.

ROAD FROM PAGE 2

Part of the refinement of the RidgeGate Widening Project was to install a one-way couplet — a pair of parallel streets running in opposite directions — that would extend through the future retail zone of East RidgeGate, similar to Martin Luther King Boulevard in Denver, which has a King Soopers in the middle of the couplet.

The city will also be providing a multi-use path and bike track along the entire 2.2-mile section.

“What (the project is) really doing is allowing the roadways to meet the needs of today, and all the commuters on it, as well as accommodate the future growth in Lone Tree east of I-25,” Schmitz said. “This is allowing for all that future growth to come in and use that new roadway.”

The Bible Speaks – Housing It is distressing to hear that many low-income residents of Littleton may be forced to find new housing elsewhere (July 18 Independent). Having a house, a home, is central to our makeup as humans.

It is one of the paradoxes of God that even though He is spirit & present everywhere, He has often chosen to “dwell” in a “house”. He dwelt in the Tabernacle during Israel’s sojourn from Egypt to Palestine & for years thereafter. Later He dwelt in Solomon’s Temple. He had a house, Herod’s Temple, in Jerusalem in Jesus’ day.

During the future millennium, God will again dwell in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.

So where does He dwell today? Today God’s house is not a building but a people, the Church. Christians are the temple of God (1 Cor 6:19). Christ lives in us (John 14:20b, Col 1:27) Praise God for that purifying truth. hfsmail@basicisp.net
