Bullying seminar helps teens ‘see the upside to the downside’ Award-winning social skills educator visits Legend High School for Healthy Teen Series

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 250 parents and students got an unconventional take on bullying as part of an ongoing Healthy Teens Series.

Parker Area Counselors for Prevention, a team of counselors from Douglas County schools, hosts the series periodically throughout the year. The free events include parent education workshops, evening symposiums and events focused on the needs of the community.

The Nov. 29 seminar at Legend High School in Parker featured speaker Brooks Gibbs, a social skills educator from Florida. Gibbs has taught sessions on emotional resilience at more than 2,500 schools and to 2 million students nationwide. He is the author of Raise Them Strong, a parenting program to help kids learn the skills of anger management, emotional strength and resilience.

Gibbs, a comical and confident man, took the stage in front of dozens of Douglas County parents and some young children to provide insight on bullying in schools. The hour-long

IF YOU GO The next Healthy Teens Series is scheduled for 10-11 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at Parker Library, 20105 Mainstreet. Simone Gallik, a licensed professional counselor, will present on healthy teen relationships.

“We have to teach kids how to understand humor,” Gibbs said. “We admire people who can laugh.”

Takeaways from the evening were: • We want kids to learn to be content with a few friends that accept them.

• More time with fewer people means deeper relationships.

• We want a child to ignore a push or shove that doesn’t cause pain. We build physical resiliency by teaching emotional resiliency —one’s ability to adapt and overcome stressful situations.

• People are mean for three reasons: They are trying to control you, they are trying to be funny or you did something to hurt them.

• If the goal is to upset you, the solution is to not get upset.

• Kids need to learn to apologize for their part of an offense.

• We need to victim-proof children.

• We must help kids see the good in the bad, the upside to the downside.

“I thought the part about learning how to laugh at yourself was good because that’s not something we talk about,” said parent Lisa Clark, standing beside her husband and two sons, who are 7 and 10.

Julie Movizzo, a parent from Franktown, left the seminar with this thought.

“So often we have this victim culture and (Gibbs) is turning that upside down by saying, `No, it’s not good guy or bad guy,’ ” Movizzo said. “We can’t change the world to adjust to sensitivities.”

Town approves residential parking restrictions STAFF REPORT

In response to concerns over parking congestion on residential streets, the Parker Town Council on Dec. 3 unanimously approved an ordinance that would set parking restrictions in certain neighborhoods.

Under the ordinance, residents can apply to the town to have their neighborhood require residential parking permits for street-side parking. Upon the approval of at least 70 percent of property owners within the proposed

restricted parking area, Town Council would then vote on the request.

Each residence can apply for up to three parking permits per household, each allowing one car to park on the street. Cars in driveways and garages will not need a parking permit.

Vehicles visiting a household for business services will be exempt from the parking permit requirement.

Signs will be erected with information about parking restriction times and requirements.

housands of Parker residents lined Mainstreet Dec. 8 for the annual Parker Christmas Carriage Parade. The longstanding Parker tradition featured rodeo royalty, local marching bands and, of course, an appearance from Santa Claus.

Hosted by Mayor Mike Waid and Parker resident Kathy Sabine, a 9News meteorologist, the parade set off another wave of Christmas celebrations in downtown Parker. Horsedrawn carriages, stagecoaches and miniature horses made an appearance at the all-equestrian event.

“Of all the things the town does for Christmas — and trust me, it’s more than any other town I’ve lived in — this is my favorite event,” said Steven Hackett, a four-year resident of The Pinery. “It reminds me of the town’s roots a little bit.”

Parkour creates caring community As sport booms in Colorado, gyms promote inclusivity, safety

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CASEYVANDIVIER@YAHOO.COM

Ken Arrington, founder of parkour gym Path Movement, knows that parkour — in which athletes often scale walls, make 9-foot leaps and traverse rails 10 feet off the ground — has a bad reputation for being dangerous.

That’s why he keeps close tabs on the safety at his gym.

He’s managed to keep injuries to a minimum. He said that out of 17,289 customer visits at the Littleton gym, there have only been three instances of broken bones.

“All people see is these kids running around on rooftops and breaking the law,” he said, “but when parkour is done correctly and taught correctly, it is safer than most sports.”

In Arrington’s 6,000-square-foot facility at 8000 S. Lincoln St., students can try their hand at a variety of feats.

The gym is a collection of boxes, rails, rings and a 14-foot “warped wall,” all of which Arrington built himself. He often rearranges the equipment so students can have new experiences.

Path Movement is one of many parkour gyms in Colorado, a state which several outlets have called a hotspot for the top sites at which to practice parkour. American Parkour, for instance, named the University of Colorado at Boulder the fourth best location for parkour athletes in America.

APEX Movement also named Colorado one of the top 10 states for parkour based on the number of times Coloradans have searched for the terms “parkour” and “freerunning” on Google.

Colorado was one of the first adopters of the sport in the Western Hemisphere. In fact, the first parkour classes on this side of the world were taught in 2006 by APEX Movement on the CU-Boulder campus. APEX has since opened three gyms in Colorado and two in California.

“APEX was definitely the first gym in Colorado, and the second gym in America,” said Vinny Fiacco, who is co-owner and general manager at APEX Movement’s gym in Denver, 700 W. Mississippi Ave. Athletes now recognize Colorado as home to one of the most thriving parkour communities.

“I stole a couple coaches from gyms in different states, and it’s because they wanted to be a part of a community that’s growing,” Arrington said.

As for why the Colorado parkour community started growing to begin with, he suggested the state’s reputation for progressiveness may have something to do with it.

“We’re pretty forward when it comes to the way that we think,” he said. “We have a state that’s very accepting of the outliers.”

Although the increase in popularity is focused in states like Colorado, the sport is gaining momentum all across

the nation, Fiacco said.

“Ten years ago, there was nothing, and now there’s 100,000 people doing it,” he said.

Staying safe For both gyms, the increase in popularity means more customers, but it doesn’t have to mean an increase in injuries. Fiacco and Arrington, whose gyms often see 100 customers per day, said the best way to minimize risk is to educate athletes on safety.

“I made sure everybody who walked through the gym took our introductory class,” Arrington said. “We teach you how to fall, we teach you how to roll, we teach you how to learn to be safe.”

Parkour athletes Julian Frazier and Shae Perkins, who often train together at APEX Movement, said out of all the sports they’ve tried, parkour has been one of the least dangerous.

“I’ve been able to manage risk a lot better in parkour because I have a lot more autonomy in how I interact with the space,” Frazier said.

“I’ve broken some fingers and ribs, nothing that was too big of a deal,” Perkins said. “Maybe it should have taken me out. I just kept training.”

As the sport works its way into the mainstream, many of the newer athletes have different aspirations than their predecessors, Perkins said, which may also lessen the risk of injury.

“It used to just be young men who wanted be reckless, and now it’s everyone,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people who their life is not necessarily parkour,” Frazier agreed. “This is a power hobby or something that contributes to their work-life balance.”

A tight community Perkins estimated that there are 10 times more women training in the sport than there were when he started 12 years ago. Additionally, he said the age range of the sport’s practitioners has expanded significantly — a trend

Students practice their skills during a class at Path Movement. that Arrington has also noticed.

“I’d say our youngest participant is about 5, and our oldest participant is 68,” he said. “You can have them in the same building doing the same thing, and that’s what makes it wildly unique and amazing.”

The sport also appeals to athletes who are on the spectrum or have a learning disability, a group that makes up 10 percent of the customers at Path Movement.

“The people that thrive in parkour are the people who love individual sports,” Arrington said. “You can have somebody with a strong learning disability who enjoys it and is in the same class as a top-tier athlete.”

Ayden Perkins, a freshman at ThunderRidge High School — and Arrington’s stepson — has become one of the best athletes at Path Movement in the few years he has been training there. As somebody who has ADHD, he always has a lot of energy, he said, and parkour is one way he can channel that energy.

“It makes you focus on this one thing, parkour, and nothing else,” he said. “It just calms you down.”

Beyond being a fun hobby, the sport has positive benefits for him after he leaves the gym.

“This gets all the energy out, so then I can focus on my homework,” he said.

For everyone in the parkour world, one of the greatest rewards is the sport’s one-of-a-kind community and the strong bonds between coaches and students, Arrington said.

“My coaches are very protective of the kids,” he said. “They’re the unsung heroes of our community.

My business would be worth nothing without them.”

Likewise, the athletes are supportive of one another in a way that isn’t common to other sports, Fiacco and Arrington said.

“It’s only about 10 years old, so everyone remembers what it’s like to not be able to do the challenge you’re trying,” Fiacco said. “No one wants to see you fail. Everyone wants to help.”

“We had a competition last weekend and there wasn’t a dry eye in the whole building, because everybody was rooting for everybody,” Arrington said. “Parkour, in its core, is all about the community.”

$421 million county budget gets commissioners’ OK County puts emphasis on transportation in year to come

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Much of Douglas County’s 2019 budget will help pay for transportation-related projects — including road widening and constructing new connections to U.S. Highway 85 between northern Douglas County and Castle Rock — to address the rising concern over traffic.

Commissioners approved the 2019 budget of $421.1 million on Dec. 4.

Within the plan is $185.3 million for ongoing operating expenditures, $174.4 million for one-time initiatives like maintenance and capital projects and $32 million in federal and state dollars. The lion’s share of the federal and state money — $28.5 million — will go toward the county’s Human Services fund.

Of those “one-time initiatives,” about 80 percent or $140.7 million is dedicated to transportation projects, including some highly anticipated projects along the U.S. Highway 85 corridor.

The 2018 budget looked similar.

When commissioners approved it in 2017, $151.9 million was for roads and transportation infrastructure.

Commissioners said transportation remains one of their major focuses in the rapidly growing community.

Between Jan. 1, 2018 and Jan. 1, 2019, the county’s population is expected to have increased by roughly 3 percent to 356,000 people. Ten years ago, the county’s population was slightly more than 280,000.

“We know that transportation affects

all our citizens’ lives and businesses,” said board Chairwoman Lora Thomas.

Commissioner Diane Holbert called it “our number one priority.”

“It directly relates to public safety and economic development,” Holbert said.

The county is allocating $24 million in new funding for improvements along the U.S. Highway 85 corridor, according to the more than 300-page budget document. That, in addition to past years’ funding, will go toward multiple projects between County Line Road and Daniels Park Road.

Some of the key projects include constructing a “southern connector” from Moore Road to U.S. Highway 85, beginning in 2019, and $18 million for road maintenance throughout the county, said Kim Hirsch, a budget manager with Douglas County, and the budget deparment’s assistant director, Martha Marshall.

Next summer, according to the document, construction could begin on U.S. Highway 85 improvements between Highlands Ranch Parkway and Dad Clark Gulch, to include widening and work around the C-470 Interchange.

When it comes to funding county needs, the county projects it will see $142.3 million in property tax revenue next year.

Property tax is the county’s largest source of revenue. Most will go toward the general fund for operating costs, and the next largest chunk is allocated toward the county’s Road and Bridge Fund.

Although the county is today experiencing economic growth, property tax revenue could be an issue in years to come, according to the budget document.

C-470 expansion project expected to wrap up by summer CDOT representatives had final open house Dec. 5

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Motorists should be able to travel along C-470 from Wadsworth Boulevard to Interstate 25 without the disruption of construction by summer 2019.

The Colorado Department of Transportation held its fourth and final public presentation on the C-470 expansion project on Dec. 5 at the Hilton Garden Inn at Highlands Ranch, 1050 Plaza Drive. About 20 CDOT representatives and contractors and 30 residents attended.

The C-470 Express Lanes project — which kicked off in late 2016 — will add two tolled express lanes westbound

from I-25 to Colorado Boulevard, near the South University Boulevard exit, narrowing to one from Colorado Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard.

One express lane will be added to the eastbound stretch from Wadsworth Boulevard to I-25. The project will also see bridges and overpasses widened, curves realigned and the addition of noise walls along populated parts of the corridor, among other tweaks, according to CDOT materials.

The project is expected to save motorists upwards of 18 minutes of travel time on the roughly 12-mile stretch between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard during rush hour. Tolls will vary depending on traffic flow and would range up to $6 to travel the entire express-lane corridor during peak hours.

The goal is to keep all motorists moving at 45 mph or faster.

Tamara Rollison, regional commu-

nications manager at CDOT, emphasized that motorists will have the choice of using the toll lanes or the existing lanes.

“They can take the general-purpose lanes for free like they always have or, for those times they need to reach a destination faster, they can take the express lanes,” Rollison said.

Roxborough resident Shawn Benson attended the open house to get up to speed on the schedule of the project.

He’s anxious for construction to be completed and foresees himself taking the toll lanes to bypass the growing amount of traffic.

“It’s inconvenient, everyone knows that,” Benson said. “But like of lot of big projects, it will be worth it.”

A Highlands Ranch resident, who would like his name withheld for privacy, had the opposite outlook. He will not be using the toll lanes, he said.

“I don’t like the idea that you have to

pay for convenience,” the resident said at the open house. “We are all taxpayers.”

Roughly 100,000 drivers use the segment of highway every day, according to CDOT, with volumes projected to increase 40 percent by 2035.

Douglas County funded $10 million of the project’s $276 million cost. An additional $110.6 million came from state and federal funding. Toll revenue will fund the remaining balance, along with costs of highway maintenance and operation of the express lanes.

For convenience and cost savings, motorists can purchase an express lanes pass at www.expresstoll.com.

After creating an account, a customer will receive a transponder to place inside of his or her vehicle. Tolls will be automatically deducted from the customer’s pre-paid toll account.

“You don’t have to pay administrative costs,” Rollison said. “It’s easy.”

oyalty is earned when trust is present. Zig Ziglar always said, “Trust is a transference of feeling.” He also would focus on the two letters in the middle of the word trust, “U and S, or US,” because trust is a two-way street. So if loyalty begins with trust, and trust is about “us,” what are our expectations of oth- WINNING ers and how do we WORDS get to that place of mutual loyalty?

Think about our own loyalty to some of our favorite brands, stores, and credit cards.

Do we give our loyalty because we are getting “points” or “miles” or some Michael Norton type of reward or cash back? Are we loyalists because give us some incentive and also provide exceptional service? And lastly, have they earned our loyalty and commitment because they have earned our trust?

Incentives, service, and trust, sounds like a pretty good recipe for building mutual loyalty. Some people may disagree. Some people I spoke with feel like they are trapped and held hostage by certain brands because they have so many miles or so many points. Their status is at such a level that if they started over with a different brand, they would not

get the same perks. I get that feeling, because as a very frequent traveler I used to feel the same way. It felt terrible. And then I remembered something, I am in control of the situation — which brand I choose and how I feel about the service I receive. I can choose when and if I am willing to start all over. It is on me, not them. It was a freeing thought and moment.

Instead of giving momentum to the feeling of being trapped, I started to look for the level of service I was receiving. I looked at certain brands where I didn’t mind starting over. I am a loyalist at heart, I have my routines, my favorite brands, my go-to restaurants, and my local businesses that I love to support. So when I started feeling trapped and “owned” by these companies, all I did was change my thinking from being trapped to feeling lucky and privileged to have such great service and loyalty in return.

For me personally, I would love to give a big shout out to United Airlines, Marriott and Hilton. It has been a long year of travel for me, and these brands all treated me to incredible service and I did not feel trapped.

They made the year exceedingly more comfortable than it otherwise could have been. Many local businesses and service providers deserve a big thank you as well.

Now let’s flip this whole thing

Chatfield Reservoir reallocation will be boon to health of river

he spectacular attributes of Denver make it a magnificent place to live and raise families, and do business. But it’s an arid

place.

Prudent use of water, cooperation and planning for the future is the combination that has built our community and remains a constant responsibility.

Most of this year, until just recently, the mountains that provide Denver’s water supply experienced dry conditions.

And portions of the South Platte River were closed in July to protect the habitat and aquatic life, due to low river flow conditions.

Most of the past 18 years have seen below-average precipitation across the state and in the South Platte basin; it has been a wake-up call on the potential impact of long-term drying on the fishery and agriculture of our region.

Our community has come together

around from having mutual loyalty with our favorite brands and stores to gaining commitment and mutual loyalty in our personal lives. Remember, loyalty begins with trust, trust is a transference of feeling and the most important part of trust is “us.” Is it any different? Are we providing the level of trust that our family or friends expect? Do we go out of our way to help and serve them whenever we can? Are we there for them when they need us? You see, we don’t have to give or get points, miles, or cash back when it comes to our family and friends, our reward is mutual loyalty, commitment, trust and in most cases love.

Who are those people in our circle whom we know that we can count on?

Who are our own go-to people? Can they count on us? If they needed something urgent or in the middle of the night would we be there for them? Do we give that same level of care and white-glove service to the people we love and care about the most? What can we do to keep

Mick Jagger did say, however, the group adjusts its thinking when they play a city like Houston versus a city like New York.

I have seen concerts in Ohio, California, Arizona and Colorado. None the size that this one will be. The largest was in Ohio, at old Crosley Field, once the home of the Cincinnati Reds.

As a concert, it was miserable. As a memory, it was wonderful.

The Beatles were scheduled to perform on Aug. 20, 1966, in Cincinnati, but they were rained out. My date, Bev Parsley, and I were happy to hear that the Beatles truly wanted to perform for us, and had agreed to stick around and play the next day.

When the long-overdue reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir is completed in late 2019, after decades of study and hearings, it will not only provide an expanded regional water supply and new recreation opportunities, but will also provide GUEST 2,100 acre-feet of an COLUMN environmental pool Rob Harris and of water specifically release down the Harold Smethills for South Platte River and though our city.

This water will then be available seasonally in dry periods and during inevitable periods of sustained drought. It will help keep our river healthy and viable.

Important partners helped give life to this project. Part of this effort was led by The Greenway Foundation, which raised money for 250 acre-feet them loyal to us, to our brand as an individual, as a spouse, as a friend and as a partner? Here’s what we can do: Look for the good and expect the best in others. And when we think about our own brand and the actions and words we may use, we need to think about how others are looking for the good and expecting the best out of us as well. And if we keep that thought top of mind, we are paving the way to mutual loyalty, commitment, trust, and love.

How about you? Do you have your favorite brands where you feel great about the mutual loyalty and level of service? Or do you need to free yourself from feeling trapped? Are your personal relationships based on mutual loyalty and trust? Or could you try a little harder? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can look for the good and expect the best, establish loyalty, commitment, trust and love, it really will be a better than good week.

They rolled their eyes and shook their heads.

August in southwest Ohio is almost unbearable. The humidity on Aug. 21 was about 160%.

The Beatles were traveling with a half-dozen acts, and their own set lasted less than 30 minutes.

Later that same day they performed in St. Louis.

Eight days after that, they performed at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

Then they stopped touring altogether.

Like I said, the concert itself was miserable. I couldn’t hear a word, because your grandmothers screamed the entire time.

of the conservation pool from 19 municipalities, individuals and other groups.

Denver Water then matched the 250 acre-feet with funding for an additional 250 acre-feet.

The Colorado Water Conservation Board has pledged funding for a further 600 acre-feet, followed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife agreeing to fund a massive 1,000 acre-feet of this space inside Chatfield Reservoir.

As a landowner who is creating a 21st-century community for residents, many of whom are not yet born, and a conservation organization that supports innovative solutions to meet our most pressing natural resource challenges, we believe this level of environmental stewardship exemplifies why our Front Range remains one of the finest places in the world to live. We must commend the people for bringing this vision to life.

This and other innovative solutions — like recycling water, greater municipal conservation, and voluntary and compensated agreements with agricultural water users — will require new sources of public funding to secure our state’s water future. Our future is worth the investment.

Broad environmental cooperation is vital to the responsible use of our state’s resources. We need to honor this effort as a model for future constructive cooperation that has, and always will, shape our Western lifestyle.

Tackling the tough questions with ‘What You Will’

W

Many already believed many other conspiracy theories, and started with the belief that 9/11 was an inside job.

Their antiestablishment beliefs stretch far beyond the shape of the Earth, into a disbelief in vaccines, mass shootings and more.

Many said their belief has cost them friendships, romantic relationships, and even jobs.

But in other ways, flat Earthers seem to defy easy definition. Attendees at the conference were diverse: young and old, black and white, men and women. They come from a variety of backgrounds: social work, nursing, manual labor and at least one mechanical engineer.

hen we really love someone, it can be difficult to be completely honest with him or her.

We’re concerned about their opinion of us and don’t want to change anything in the relationship. But confiding in a stranger who we’ll probably never see again offers COMING an exciting level of ATTRACTIONS freedom.

That’s the idea local playwright Jeffrey Neuman wanted to explore in the world premiere of his play, “What You Will,” which debuted at Lakewood’s Benchmark Theatre.

“Why is it that, sometimes, situational Clarke Reader intimacies can give us a sense of purpose, grounding and fulfillment, while our deepest and most long-term relationships can leave us feeling lost, wanting and in need?” he asked. “Those are questions worth exploring. Those are questions that are both human and theatrical.”

Directed by Warren Sherrill and featuring Steven J. Burge, Tom Littman, Casey Andree and Maggy Stacy, “What You Will” runs through Dec. 22 at Benchmark, 1560 Teller St. Performances are 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday.

The show tells the story of Adam, a 40-year-old gay man living a quiet, happy life with his husband. He owns a stationery shop and serves as a wedding planner. But when he starts interacting with a married man at his local gym, he starts questioning his life and his relationships.

Neuman himself used to work in a stationery shop, where the rapport he developed with relative strangers was one of the seeds of the play.

Seeing the show come to life at Benchmark has been a special thrill for Neuman, though he said, as a writer, he’s mostly hands-off.

“Rehearsals are time for the director and actors to do what they do, to use their skills and talents to make the piece a living, breathing, tangible thing,” he said.

“I’m not quite sure how they do it, how they create a world that lives on the stage, but I find the work that actors and directors create together, the alchemy they create, to be a magical, mystical, almost holy thing.”

The show premiered Nov. 30, and Neuman said he was overwhelmed by the positive reactions from audiences. As a writer, he said he’s always been drawn to art that asks more questions than it answers, and he hopes “What You Will” fits the people for those who check it out.

Finding hope on a flat EARTH Flat Earthers endure scorn, ridicule in service of what they call a godly worldview

ou can’t debunk Flat Earth.

You might think you can.

You might think it would be easy to shoot down a theory that says Earth is a flat, immobile disc covered by a dome. That space doesn’t exist. That every astronaut is a faker.

But to flat Earthers, a small but growing subculture, you cannot shake their belief.

“People ask the same questions over and over,” said Nathan Thompson, a leading figure in the movement, who heads Official Flat Earth & Globe Discussion, a Facebook group with more than 128,000 members that serves as the largest online meeting space for flat-earth believers.

“They say we’re a cult, but the globe is the biggest cult of all,” Thompson said.

Thompson was one of many speakers at the Flat Earth International Conference, held Nov. 15 and 16 at the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center. The event was the second major conference for the movement, selling 650 tickets — far more than last year’s 200.

Nonbelievers’ questions have easy answers, Thompson told attendees.

What about the moon landing? It was staged in a movie studio.

What about pictures of Earth from space?

Photoshopped. What about footage from the space station?

Actors hanging from wires.

Many flat Earthers believe they have been lied to by the establishment.

The reason: to lead mankind astray from the almighty.

“If we’re a speck floating in an endless void, then we don’t mean that much,” said Michael Renfro, 44, who lives in Colorado Springs. “But if you read any ancient text, that’s the opposite of what God says we are. We’re special, and we bring something to the world that’s unique. Under the dome of the flat Earth, I know God cares about us. About me.”

Over conversations with numerous attendees of the conference, some trends became clear: many flat Earthers are devout Christians, who see the flat Earth as irrefutable evidence of their special place in God’s creation.

Many attendees started believing the Earth was flat only in the last three years, as a slew of YouTube “documentaries” swept through social media.

Many flat Earthers call the azimuthal equidistant map projection to be the most accurate representation of the Earth.

This version, produced in 1892 by Alex Gleason, was widely distributed at the Flat Earth International Conference.

Ute culture in the spotlight at History Colorado

ow open: “Written on the Land: Ute Voices, Ute History,” in development for more than four years, is open at History Colorado, 1200 Broadway, Denver. It tells a story in artifacts, SONYA’S visual, spoken and SAMPLER written history, of Colorado’s longest continuous residents — including a look at life today.

The exhibit, filling major gaps in the average resident’s understanding of our state’s history, was developed in Sonya Ellingboe collaboration with representatives from the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, who shared individual histories, as well as a look at life today in authentic Ute voices.

Visitors will be able to connect time periods through artifacts from the extensive museum collection, both ancient and contemporary, while sharing contemporary stories.

Tickets: HistoryColorado.org. A visit would be a great family outing over the holidays — or into the new year.

The past week led us to two of many local theatrical holiday celebrations — one for families and the other clearly for grownups—and the metro area theaters offer a range of holiday entertainments in both categories.

Celebrate the talented local actors’ community who bring us laughs — and matters to think about — through the year … enjoy a performance this season!

Most readers have probably seen the 2003 movie, “Elf,” at some point in past years, but this musical (through Dec. 23 at the Arvada Center) delivers the story in song and dance — we were especially taken with the bunch of dancing, singing elves in Act 1 — with some sympathetic twinges!

The story about restoring a spirit of Christmas among gloomy New Yorkers starts with a baby who accidentally slips into Santa’s sack during one of his stops and ends up back at the North Pole — to be raised by Santa’s elves. Buddy the elf is played by tall, lean Josh Houghton at the Arvada Center, an actor with a strong voice and the elf ’s wide-eyed innocence as

Also running in the metro area: “Christmas Carol the Musical” at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton; “Santa’s Big Red Sack” (for the 10th and last time, we are told) at Avenue Theater in Denver (adult fare); “Christmas Carol” (a beautiful traditional version) at Denver Center downtown; “Home for the Holidays” at Lone Tree Arts Center; “Christmas Carol” at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden; “The Christmas Spirit” presented by Firehouse Theater company at John Hand Theater at Lowry; “Nutcracker of Parker” at PACE Center; and “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” at the Buell Theatre in downtown Denver.

Veteran Denver Actor Erik Sandvold, as Scrooge, hears about a scary future from the Ghost of Christmases Yet to Come in “Twist Your Dickens” at the Aurora Fox. COURTESY PHOTO he meets NYC. Santa (Colin Alexander) suggests that, as a human, rather than an elf, Buddy might want to look for his actual father, Walter Hobbs, who publishes children’s books — especially Christmas books — and has an office in the Empire State Building. Therein lies a tale ... Father Hobbs is a modern-day Scrooge type, who certainly doesn’t have room for an elf in his

world — which naive Buddy wanders into. Sharon Kay White, an Arvada favorite, rules the office — and the stage at points — as Hobbs’ secretary, Deb. Here, and throughout, production song and dance numbers break out — as they should in a proper musical.

Choreography is by Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck and musical direction by newcomer Christopher Baggage. The score by Matthew Sklar, is pleasant,

bringing in suggestions of snow and sleigh bells, but not memorable.

“Sparklejollytwinlejingley” is fun!

Scenic design, by Laura K. Love made great use of projections throughout, with a few bits of furniture and such otherwise.

Kids in the audience shouted advice to the cast at several spots during the performance, which suggested they were certainly engaged. This musical SEE THEATER, P19

THEATER FROM PAGE 18

is a good theater introduction for the short set — perhaps at grade three or four and up — and of course, adults will catch some bits that little ones don’t, but I really love the idea that they will think of holiday celebrations that include a story told on the stage.

Hobbs’ wife and young son, Michael, connect with Buddy and take him home with them. (His elf training comes in handy as he repairs a new toy.) He also connects with somewhat jaded Jovie, an office worker, and is awkward at romancing a girlfriend — he does the charming/awkward bit well.

Director Gavin Mayer returns to the Arvada Center from his current spot as director of musical theatre at the University of Nevada in Reno. He has helmed a number of holiday musicals at Arvada in past years.

• “Twist Your Dickens” at the Aurora Fox brings in a script by Second City writers — and former “Colbert Report” writers — Peter Gwinn and Bobby Mort, who direct their imaginations to a retelling of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” that is funny and fresh — and requiring really experienced comic actors to pull it off. New Fox executive director Helen Murray invited Washington, D.C., director Matthew R. Wilson, a comedy specialist, to helm this spoof, set in 1843, we are told. The spoof brings in solid Denver area actor Eric

Sandvold as Scrooge — fun to see him take on some silly stuff in his first Fox appearance. And he does it really well — from the first “Humbug!” (“Here it Comes!”)

I think many people don’t realize what precision timing and expert delivery is required to pull off successful comedy. Sean Michael Cummings plays Scrooge’s mistreated clerk — and assorted other parts — while Ilasiea Gray is Mrs. Cratchit. Petit Jessica Austgen plays Tiny Tim (“please just call me Tim”) as well as a number of other characters.

A shouting Seth Palmer Harris comes up from the audience early in the first act with opinions about everything that’s happening — and flows smoothly into the cast, playing any number of Dickens characters — Fezziwig, Scrooge’s nephew, and of course, those ghosts … who are a trip!

Then there’s Charlie Schmidt with spot-on Jimmy Stewart/George Bailey snippets every so often and there are ongoing Denver area references worked in, as well as a bit of Charlie Brown’s Christmas … with appropriate costumes. Incidents from the book happen as the Cratchits wait for Christmas dinner in their corner With audience interaction involved, I’m guessing this show will be different every night — just leave any preconceptions about how it should proceed at the front door and relax as you watch accomplished actors at play!

This one is not for the kids, but parents and grandparents should have fun.

Nicole, Rian, Eric and Mason Woodard attended the Santa Cares event in Castle Rock on Dec. 9.

JESSICA GIBBS

Event helps children with special needs Santa Cares program offers a friendly environment

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mason Woodard hugged his father, Eric, on the porch of Santa’s house in Castle Rock, nervously explaining he didn’t want to go inside.

The 4-year-old from Parker has autism, and the experience can be overwhelming, said his mother, Nicole Woodard. Between the loud noises, lights, music and crowds typically associated with the Santa experience, it becomes sensory overload.

That’s why the family of four went to Castle Rock, where the outlets were hosting a Santa Cares event designed specifically for families like theirs.

When Santa’s elves opened the cottage door, Mason overcame his moment of hesitation and stepped inside.

He walked up to Santa, and with an enthusiastic “sure!” accepted an invitation to sit on his lap.

Moments later he excitedly asked Santa for a Power Ranger in “the color blue” and said “cheeeese!” for the camera.

This marked the Outlets at Castle Rock’s third year participating in the nationwide Santa Cares program.

Santa Cares provides children with special needs or disabilities a sensoryfriendly environment to visit Santa and is organized by New Jersey-based Cherry Hill Programs. It took place this year on Dec. 2 and Dec. 9.

“We started the program back in 2011 as a way to lessen some of the distractions and triggers you might typically find during public hours,” said Ruth Rosenquist, director of

marketing and public relations for Cherry Hill Programs. “We developed a program that would accommodate families with all spectrums of special needs.”

At the Outlets at Castle Rock, Santa Cares took place one hour before the shopping center opened to the public, to avoid crowds and lines. Lights were dimmed, music lowered, and Santa spoke in soft tones.

Rosenquist said the program was birthed from public demand, often through comments and inquiries sent to their customers service department. What started in 2011 with seven location has now grown to a network of more than 400 Santa Cares events in the U.S. and Canada.

“It’s so heartwarming when you receive comments from families who tell you they haven’t gotten their child to smile before or haven’t seen Santa before,” Rosenquist said. “That makes it all worthwhile.”

Jen Simpson, marketing director for the Outlets at Castle Rock, said the center aims to provide families “a positive and memorable holiday experience.”

“As holidays are often a sensory overload for children with special needs, we decided to go the extra mile and offer the Santa Cares program to make the magic of Christmas possible for everyone,” she said.

Nicole Woodard said the family tried taking Mason, along with his 3-yearold sister, Rian, to traditional Santa events, but it was difficult for the whole family. Today the Woodards are grateful for the Santa Cares program, they said.

“It just makes the whole experience less stressful on him,” Eric said, “and us too.”

Upgrading your bathtub to a shower system can prevent fall-related injuries The National Aging in Place Council suggests that eliminating an old bathtub for a walkin shower can greatly increase bathroom safety and end fall-related injuries. The study also recommends switching to a handheld showerhead and installing grab bars to increase bathing safety.

M

ost seniors want to stay in their homes, but bathing safely and independently can become increasingly difficult with age. Transforming your bathtub/shower combination into a walkin shower can be an ideal solution. Dreamstyle Remodeling offers a new shower solution, featuring Kohler products, that fits directly into the existing tub space and has been engineered specifically for safety, cleanliness and retaining independence while bathing.

Dreamstyle Remodeling’s walk-in showers benefit from over 140 years of Kohler engineering and bathroom innovation.

This long-term innovation means the showers are more than just function, they’re built for aesthetics as well, and designed specifically to enhance a home’s unique beauty. As a company, Dreamstyle Remodeling acknowledges it’s tough to be faced with bathing difficulties in your own home – but that shouldn’t have to detract from your quality of life.

The customizable showers come with a variety of features as well, so the bathroom can be personalized with ideal fixtures – things like Kohler’s Choreograph walls, which are made of natural marble in any pattern imaginable, and custom accessories like shelves, seating, sleek faucets, and the option of an Awaken handshower kit – a removable handheld showerhead with different spray options and easy access if bathing has become difficult.

For your free in-home shower consultation call 303-222-5252

Don’t let yourself or your loved one become a statistic: bathingrelated falls are no joke. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 360,000-480,000 older adults sustain fall-related fractures each year, often resulting in hospitalization. For a limited time only, Dreamstyle Remodeling is offering a free, in home consultation with a special introductory offer of 20% OFF MSRP a complete shower system.

continue through 2020, but the Gallagher Amendment, which limits the percentage of property tax revenues that can come from homeowners, could stymie property tax as a revenue source that same year, the document said.

“If the (residential assessment rate) does decrease 15 percent as forecasted, revenue from our largest revenue stream could be relatively flat,” the document says. “However, as the largest source of funding of services,

the county relies on growth of this revenue to fund the increasing cost of service. The county is closely monitoring what is happening at the state level.”

In the Dec. 4 meeting, commissioners kept comments brief before signing off on the budget.

Holbert, formerly the county treasurer, commended the county for its level of debt. By the end of this year, the county’s debt will be $12.8 million. By the end of 2019, Douglas

County expects that to fall to $8.6 million.

“Those dollar figures are what our neighboring counties are paying in debt services, one or two of them,” she said, “per month.”

She and fellow commissioners also thanked staff for their work in compiling the budget.

“I know the amount of work and time that you put into it — the care for each individual client in Douglas County,” Holbert said.

Ask flat Earthers who’s behind the deception, and you’ll get a variety of answers. Freemasons, Rockefellers, the Catholic church, “globalists” — though many agree there’s one puppetmaster: Satan.

“Satan is behind everything,” said Allan Spencer, a public school music teacher from California. “He’s in media, government and the education system.”

“It’s so much easier for Satan to rule if we believe we’re worthless,” said Taumi Hardersen, 35, who started a Colorado Springs-area meetup group for flat Earthers. “Flat Earth has woken me up to so many lies.”

Like many flat Earthers, Hardersen has suffered backlash for her beliefs.

“My best friend from childhood disowned me,” Hardersen said. “It was refreshing, in a weird way. It brings out people’s true nature. Somebody who has that much hate toward different beliefs, I don’t need them in my life. I’ve made so many new friends in the movement anyway.”

Hardersen said she’s raising her two daughters, ages 5 and 8, in her beliefs, though she worries about the influence of public school.

“People are downright mean,” said Cindy Gruender, of Windsor, who

wore a sash reading “Miss Flat Earth” — an appellation she took as a point of pride after it was jeeringly given to her at a church she no longer attends.

“I’ve been called an idiot, stupid, a heretic,” Gruender said. She stays steadfast, though, because “the scripture says you must stand for the truth.

I don’t back down.”

Flat Earth is a fascinating phenomenon, said Jean-Francois Mayer, an internationally-renowned researcher of new religious movements, who flew

from Switzerland in part to attend the conference.

“This is not a cult,” Mayer said.

“This is a network of like-minded people, who have come together with the zeal of new converts to enjoy a place where they don’t feel ostracized.

They want to be seen as people with inquisitive minds who are interested in scientific truth.”

Coming to the conference was a thrilling experience for most attendees, especially those who face disdain

TRAINING

Brothers Kevin and Jeff Diaz said it’s encouraging seeing the flat Earth movement flourish. Jeff has studied flat Earth theories for years, long before the movement exploded in 2015.

DAVID GILBERT at home.

“It’s been so hurtful to endure the gossip and insults from my classmates and family,” said Summer Loewen, 14, who came to the conference from Alberta, Canada, with her sister.

Loewen’s immediate family members are flat earthers.

“Here, I feel safe to open up, to have discussions, and to learn,” Loewen said. “It’s deepening my relationship with God. I’m really growing here.”

LeCompte, Hedges are softball standouts Looking back at

strong showings in fall season

Legend, ThunderRidge athletes chosen as pitcher, player of year

S

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amanda Hedges was the hitting leader and Zoey LeCompte handled the pitching.

Those two players were the standouts and two of the best players in the south metro area during the softball season.

Hedges, a ThunderRidge senior shortstop, was named the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Player of the Year and LeCompte, a Legend senior, was selected as the Pitcher of the Year.

In 25 games this season Hedges led the Continental League in all seven offensive categories. She hit .598 with nine home runs, a 1.268 slugging percentage, 47 runs batted in, 45 runs scored, .646 on-base percentage and 21 stolen bases.

Hedges, who has signed to play softball at Northern Colorado, was the league’s Player of the Year and finished with a ThunderRidge career best of 12 home runs.

“I’m very happy with the season,” said Hedges. “I’m overall happy with the season and the way I played. The batting average was the statistic that meant the most to me because I was hitting over .600 but finished the season at .598 which is the highest I’ve ever hit.

“I really worked hard on my swing this season and it showed how much it paid off. I basically changed the mechanics of my swing. My dad is my hitting coach and he had me change my stance and how I held the bat.”

LeCompte pitched 115 innings in 26 games during the season and had a 3.96 earned-run average with 68 strikeouts and finished with a 17-4 record.

She was clutch late in the season in leading the Titans to the 5A state championship. She was 9-0 in the Continental League, 2-0 in the regionals and 4-0 in the state tournament.

“She might not have had the lowest ERA but she kept us in games,” said Legend coach Kristian Shirk. “She was the backbone of our team. “ LeCompte has signed to play softball at Memphis but will probably always remember the second half on the softball season when the Titans rallied from a slow start to win 17 straight games and the state title.

“I am happy because at the beginning of the season I struggled a little bit and definitely had to work extra hard in practice,” said LeCompte. “I had to reflect pretty harshly on myself after games and on my performance to make sure that I was doing the best I could for my team.

Legend’s Zoey LeCompte had 68 strikeouts and finished with a 17-4 record.

ThunderRidge’s Amanda Hedges hit .598, with nine home runs and 47 runs batted in.

“Being a leader and a pitcher, you are thinking: `This is my team, I have to carry them,’ and that was difficult to think about when you are trying everything you can. It just took some time. I am proud of myself for maintaining a cool head in tough situations and I’m happy to have my teammates there to help me through. I am a very emotional

player and sometimes that can get to me but my teammates helped calm me down.

“I will always remember those final games with it being my senior year and the most important games I’ve ever played. It was the best time in my life to be able to get to play softball with friends from school during my senior year.”

now and cold weather was around for the kickoffs during the last few games of the football season, but the winter sports season has started and all games/matches are inside.

So let it snow, let it snow.

OVERTIME The fall season was successful for teams and individuals from schools in the Colorado Community Media circulation area as many did well in state playoff competition.

Jim Benton So for anybody who might have forgotten, here is a review of the fall season in no particular order Mountain Vista’s girls captured their second consecutive Class 5A team title and junior Jenna Fitzsimmons won her second straight individual championship. Cherry Creek’s girls were second.

Mountain Vista’s boys were also runners-up in the 5A race and Valor Christian’s Cole Sprout was the individual state winner for the second year in a row.

Lakewood, led by Ryan Liao, was the first-round leader and wound up second in the 5A boys state golf tournament, while Arapahoe came in third.

Cherry Creek was second in the field hockey championships, losing 2-1 in overtime to Regis Jesuit, and the Bruins’ boys team was second behind Regis in the state tennis tournament.

Pomona continued its gymnastics dominance and won the 5A state team championship for the fourth straight season. Lakewood senior Amber Boll swept all individual events and won the vault with a perfect 10.0 score.

In boys soccer, No. 8 Arapahoe won five playoff games by a combined score of 7-1. The Warriors edged topseeded Fairview, 1-0, in the quarterfinals, won a scoreless semifinal shootout against Broomfield and then beat Grandview 2-1 for state title.

Defending champion Legend, seeded sixth, beat top-seeded Cherokee Trail 8-4 to secure the 5A softball title. Holy Family was the 3A winner with a 10-3 win over Mountain View.

The Tigers allowed just six runs in four games.

In the 2A tourney, Faith Christian dropped a 6-2 semifinal tiff to eventual state champ Strasburg.

Jenna Fitzsimmons and Cole Sprout couldn’t be caught during the high school cross country season.

Fitzsimmons, a junior for the state champion Mountain Vista team, is the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year. Sprout, a junior at Valor Christian, is the Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.

Both won their second consecutive individual state championships on Oct. 27 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs.

Fitzsimmons, a three-time winner of the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Cross Country Runner of Year award, ran away from her closest competitors over the last mile and won the 2018 state title by 13 seconds with a time of 18:12.3 “It was so fun to have such an amazing team,” said Fitzsimmons, who is always reluctant to talk about herself.

“We all push each other. Any day you are not feeling good they are right next to you to push you along in a workout or even on a run.

“A lot of times when I was doubting myself and not sure what was going to happen I was like doing it for other girls on the team, knowing they are putting in the work and knowing every point counts. I was just seeing what happened at state. The other girls were right next to me, pushing me.”

Fitzsimmons had two older two sisters, Delany and Mauren, run for Mountain Vista and she always seemed to outdistance other runners

Mountain Vista’s Jenna Fitzsimmons.

and helped the Golden Eagles repeat as 5A girls team state champions.

“Jenna is a hardworking and selfless individual who always puts the needs of the team ahead of her own,” said Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby.

“It is pretty special when an athlete defends a state championship as an individual. For Jenna, however, the win was more about helping her team than it was about personal accolades for her. She is a special athlete and we are lucky to have her on our team here at Mountain Vista.”

Sprout is also a special athlete who captured the 4A championship in 2017 and had an easy time winning the 5A title this season. Like Fitzsimmons, he finished way ahead of other competitors and broke the course record by 17 seconds with a time of 15:16.1.

“It’s really hard (without challengers),” Sprout said. “It takes a lot of guts mentally. You have to keep yourself on because it is easy to kind

“I’ve kind of always had the mental toughness. I train by myself and in most races I am usually by myself. I feel like I ran well all season. It takes a couple minutes but thinking about the season now it was pretty incredible.

I felt a lot stronger for sure and a lot faster this year.”

Valor coach Greg Coplen pointed out that Sprout ran a 14:32 at the Desert Twilight in Arizona in September, which was the fastest time in the nation this season.

“Cole had an absolutely fantastic season and he has some big goals ahead,” said Coplen. “He’s a 4.0 student and about as humble of a kid as you’ll ever find.”

Sprout recently won the Nike Southwest Regional meet on Nov. 17 in Casa Grande, Arizona, with a time of 14:39.1.

Roommates Wanted Looking for a small room to rent in Douglas County Can pay $400 a month (303)359-4838

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The arts are a strong part of the Arian aspect, with music becoming more dominant. An important decision looms as a longtime relationship takes an unexpected turn.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Surrounding yourself with beautiful things helps restore the Taurean soul.

Enjoy an art exhibit, for example. Or redecorate your personal space with something truly splendid.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Some colleagues might try to talk you out of what they insist is a risk, but which you consider an opportunity. As usual, follow your own good sense when making your decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A workplace change you might have worried about soon proves to be highly favorable for the clever Crab who is ready to take advantage of new opportunities opening up.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. Your Leonine pride is polished to a dazzling new brilliance thanks to your success in winning support for your new project from even the most doubtful of detractors.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unsettling rumor about a colleague’s apparently regrettable behavior is soon proved groundless, allowing you to enjoy the upcoming end-ofyear festivities in a happy mood.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your success in helping to create a harmonious environment out of a chaotic situation earns you the admiration of someone who could become an important new presence in your life.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your Scorpion’s sense of loyalty could find you leading a passionate defense of a loved one you feel is being unfairly treated. The week’s end brings long-awaited family news.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your keen instincts are once more on high alert as you find yourself being pressured to make a quick decision about a certain matter.

More facts come to light by week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) An unexpected workplace development could disrupt some family plans. A full explanation, however, averts domestic discord. A financial matter continues to need attention.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Spend time away from distractions to reassess some recent moves that might not have worked out as you had hoped. What you learn could be invaluable for future decision-making.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recent act of kindness is a reminder of how important your friends are to you. You might want to show your appreciation by hosting a special preNew Year’s party just for them.
