CLARIFICATION An article in the Dec. 6 edition about an altercation between a white student and a black student at Mountain Vista High School should have stated that authorities said the white student used a racial slur during the confrontation. Officials did not say toward whom the slur was directed.

High Plains Trail connection moves forward Project will connect north Parker to Aurora, span three cities BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A trail connection project nearly 20 years in the making finally has its initial funding. The High Plains Trail connection is a project to connect the existing trail along E-470, to Kings Point in Aurora. Parker Town Council passed Ordinance No. 5.82 at its Dec. 3 meeting, which approves the first phase of an intergovernmental agreement between Arapahoe County and the Town of Parker. The agreement is a “phased” or “rolling” IGA, according to Dennis Trapp, of the Parker Parks and Recreation Department, meaning it will be amended within the next year or two to address the design and
construction of the trail. This phase of the IGA addresses funding for the conceptual design and 30 percent engineering design for segments 1, 2 and 4. Segment 3 will be the responsibility of Kings Point developers. “It is a critical regional trail connection,” Trapp said. The cost for this portion is about $200,000, which will be shared evenly between Parker and Arapahoe County. As the project continues, Douglas County and the City of Aurora will be brought in as part of the IGA to share additional funding for design, construction and long-term maintenance. Parker Parks and Recreation will be seeking a Great Outdoors Colorado funding grant next year of about $2 million. The department has already secured nearly $500,000 from the E-470 authority and $2 million in funding from the Denver Regional Council of Governments’ Transportation Improvement Program (DRCOG TIP). DRCOG TIP identifies all current
federally funded transportation projects to be completed in the Denver region over a four-year period, according to the organization’s website, www.drcog.org. Councilmember John Diak said this project was the highestrated trail DRCOG TIP project. Councilmember John Diak touted the project for its intergovernmental connection. The connection will eventually involve eight government agencies. “This is the United Nations of trail projects,” Diak said. The IGA was “the final testament to this connection, and I can only hope it gets done quick.” Councilmember Josh Martin recounted working on the project in 2013 and said then it seemed like a “pie in the sky idea.” Trapp responded, reminiscing that this was one of the first projects that came across his desk in 1998, that this was a 20-year odyssey. “It’s a credit to everybody sticking with this because these connections are so important to our trail networks,” Martin said.
Conservation groups aim to preserve ranch BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than 800 acres of Douglas County ranch land could soon be shielded from becoming future Front Range development. The Welborn Ranch, southeast of Franktown near Castlewood Canyon State Park, spans 830 acres, runs cattle and produces hay. The property is home to miles of canyon habitat along Russellville Gulch, nearly 115 acres of wetland, numerous bird species and some animal species that are threatened or endangered. Great Outdoors Colorado awarded a $555,000 open space grant to the Douglas County Land Conservancy, which it will use to pursue a conservation easement on Welborn Ranch in partnership with The Trust for Public Land and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust. “Douglas County Land Conservancy is thrilled to be a partner on
this,” said Executive Director Patti Hostetler. “Preserving a property like this in this size provides for great future agricultural opportunities as well as wildlife habitat.” The partners also received a $1 million from the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program at the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Wade Shelton is the senior project manager working on Welborn Ranch from The Trust for Public Land of Colorado. Shelton said members of the Welborn family declined to comment while partners work toward cementing the conservation easement, which can be a lengthy real estate transaction. Documents from the county say the ranch is owned by siblings including ranch operator Robert Welborn. The groups involved may have raised enough money to pursue the easement, Shelton said, but work remains, including appraising the land. They hope to close by this summer.
“We’re at a really important milestone,” Shelton said. If the Welborns acquire the conservation easement, he said, it could prevent the land from ever being subdivided and turned into housing or industrial development, as can be the case when large properties change hands. “When you’re preserving private land, and especially working land that you want to keep in agriculture, one of the best things to do is to keep it in private hands,” Shelton said. Alex Castino of Great Outdoors Colorado said the project offers “incredible conservation values” but it has been most unique in its ability to unite conservation groups and land trusts, which often compete for projects. “Conservation entities working together in this way is sort of a newer thing,” she said. “To see conservation partners coming together to secure one piece and leverage their resources and expertise is really encouraging.”

Orphaned ornaments await owners County saves treasures from discarded trees BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the Douglas County Parks and Trails Division office in Highlands Ranch, a 3-foot-tall Christmas tree holds a bevy of family treasures: custom ornaments, about 30 of them, forgotten on trees after the holiday season. County workers find dozens of ornaments every year on trees discarded as part of a county program. Most of the time, the ornaments are hidden after a tree was stripped of its decorations. Other times they find trees fully decorated. The commercial-looking decorations, like the ball ornaments, are thrown away. That used to be the fate of all forgotten ornaments until last year. County workers began collecting ornaments they thought held sentimental value. On one ornament is a photo of a golden retriever. On another is a silver cup with a teddy bear that says “Baby’s First Christmas 2000.” Another has a photo of a baby girl named Lucy on her first Christmas from 2005. Randy Burkhardt, of Douglas County Parks and Trails, said the reasons for collecting the ornaments is personal.
The “Christmas Tree of Lost Ornaments” is a collection of lost-and-found decorations with sentimental value, like this photo of Lucy on her first Christmas in 2005. PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT “We think of the county citizens as family. We know that if someone in our family had lost one of these, we would want to get it back to them.” Burkhardt said. Burkhardt is the assistant director of parks, trails and building grounds. “We want to get them back to the place they should be. Not on our tree of lost ornaments, but where they should be.” The Douglas County Parks and Trails department collects discarded Christmas trees after the holidays as a service to residents. The trees are shredded by a wood chipper at three locations across the county. The “Christmas Tree of Lost Ornaments” at the Highlands Ranch office sits in the building’s lobby decorated from top to bottom with lost-and-found
Randy Burkhardt of the Douglas County Parks and Trails Division with the “Christmas Tree of Lost Ornaments” at the division’s Highlands Ranch office. The trees consists of sentimental ornaments found after yearly Christmas tree collection. family ornaments. The oldest one dangling from a branch is labeled as belonging to the Yelk family and dated from 1984. “Someone may have lost it and not even known it,” Burkhardt said. “Here’s an opportunity for them to possibly find something that has sentimental value.” So far, no one has claimed any of the saved ornaments. Each ornament is photographed and posted in a slideshow on the county’s website, douglas.
co.us/dcoutdoors/lost-ornaments. If you lost an ornament, you can visit the Douglas County Parks and Trails office in Highlands Ranch at 9651 S. Quebec St. or you can call the office at 720-733-6990. Burkhardt said his favorite ornament will be the first one that returns to its rightful owner. “We see this as building upon itself,” Burkhardt said. “I’m sure families think, ‘Oh, they’re gone forever.’ Well, maybe not.”
Family Coding Night highlights new tech in education Event offers hands-on look into cutting-edge tools to teach skills BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At first glance, it looked like a bunch of kids playing with toys. Elementary-aged students fiddled with yellow plastic bees, tapped on tablets that controlled robots and designed simple applications on laptops — like making a cartoon dance or move around. This was the sight at the Chaparral Family Coding Night at Sierra Middle School Dec. 6. The event allowed students to test out new educational devices and showcase their application across all subjects in school. The “toys” are controlled through computer coding and can be simply adjusted by a student. It’s the second annual event like this put on by the Chaparral feeder system, which includes Pine Lane, Mammoth Heights, Pine Grove, Prairie Crossing Cherokee Trail elementaries, Sierra Middle School and Chaparral High School. “I have so many parents and families that say ‘I don’t understand what my kids are doing at school related
to computer programming,’” Blair said. “We wanted parents and their children to have opportunities to get exposure to computer science just to wet their pallet to want to learn more.” Angela and Michael Herrera learned how to control a tiny coding robot, the Ozobot Bit, which can follow a designated path designed using a marker. Morgan Molcsan fiddled with a coding application on a laptop that controlled the size of a cartoon robot by simply changing a number of the coding format. Ken Molcsan, Morgan’s father, is a computer scientist by trade and saw the importance of teaching coding at an early age. “I think it’s important for our kids to be able to learn how to do programming. It’s prevalent in everything we do today,” said Molcsan. “In the future, everybody’s going to need to learn how to do this stuff, so it’s important for kids to learn now.” This was the third year in a row with a night dedicated to a handson coding event for parents to get involved. The night finished off the National Computer Science Education Week for schools worldwide, including several in the Douglas County School District. Dubbed “Hour of Code,” the event hopes to get students familiarized with coding According to Code.org, the nonprofit
Jadyn Neumann, a teacher at Prairie Crossing Elementary, shows Angela and Michael Herrera how to use the Ozobot, a device that can follow a path drawn from a marker, at Family Coding Night Dec. 6. Coding night was dedicated to showcasing the new technologies schools have that involve learning computer code in curriculum. NICK PUCKETT behind the annual “Hour of Code” and the host of the event, there are almost 10 times as many computing job openings nationwide as there are students graduating with a degree in computer science. Douglas County School District Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said learning to code will be vital for any student as they move forward in education.
“We have plenty of industry partners that want this in the hands of students at an early age so they understand it,” Knight said. “Some of the time there’s other subjects specifically integrated in, other times the teacher use it as a vehicle to bring other subjects in, just because you’re bringing in student engagement because of some nifty gadget the kids can play with.”

Businesses get reprieve from new sales tax rules May 31 is new date for protocol to take effect BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Colorado Department of Revenue has extended the deadline for Colorado businesses to comply with new sales tax rules to May 31, 2019. The emergency rules, which were enacted Sept. 26, originally were to take effect Nov. 30, but amid concerns from legislators and the business community, the DOR announced that it was granting an extension until May 31. “As part of our rulemaking process to implement sales tax rules for in-state and out-of-state retailers, we have heard from legislators and the business community, and the
Department of Revenue agrees it is important for the state to take the time to get this right,” said Colorado Department of Revenue Executive Director Mike Hartman. According to Dan Carr, Department of Revenue taxation communications manager, Colorado is among 33 states that created the emergency rules in response to the Supreme Court ruling in the case of South Dakota vs. Wayfair, in which South Dakota won the right to receive sales tax on items purchased on the internet and shipped to the state. The emergency rules make it mandatory for Colorado retailers who ship products out of their jurisdiction to collect sales tax based on the rate of where the item is shipped. Supporters of the decision have said the move levels the playing field and could bring in as much as $48
‘This new law could bring in as much as $48 million this year.’ Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, chair of the Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force million in revenue to Colorado in the first year, with as much as $200 million in subsequent years. “This has opened the door for all states to say `We can fix this unfair competition problem and start telling internet sites they have to pay sales tax,’” said Democratic state
Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp of Arvada, chair of the Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force. “This new law could bring in as much as $48 million this year.” The website colorado.gov/tax was created by the DOR to help Colorado retailers understand and navigate the new laws, and includes a “hold harmless” list that makes it easier for business owners to look up the tax at the item’s destination. “If a retailer uses the platform and the charge is wrong, they will be held harmless,” said Carr. The DOR will evaluate the need for another extension as May 31 nears, and Carr said the additional time will give the state Legislature an opportunity to find innovative solutions to streamline and simplify our sales tax collection laws in accordance with the wishes of the residents of Colorado.

Police charge bus driver involved in fatal crash BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One week following a Castle Rock crash that left a woman dead, police have charged the second driver involved. Steven Blair, 70, is charged with careless driving causing death and failing to yield the right of way when turning left. The crash occurred shortly before 7 a.m. Dec. 7 at the intersection of Fifth and Perry streets. Blair, of Franktown, was driving a school bus with five teenagers on board, according to police. He is suspected of causing a collision with an SUV driven by Barbara Riehl, 92, of Castle Rock. Joe Cybert, spokesman for the Castle Rock Police Department, said investigators believe Blair was driving east on Fifth Street and attempting to make a left turn onto Perry Street when he pulled out in front of Riehl, who was driving west on Perry. First responders had to extricate Riehl from her vehicle. She was transported to an area hos-
pital, where she later died of her injuries. No one else was injured. Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock posted to its Facebook page the day after the accident asking that its members pray for Riehl’s family. The church said Riehl “died with faith in Jesus” and did not wish to have a funeral service. A ceremony was scheduled for Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. at Fort Logan National Ceremony in Denver. Memorial gifts were being accepted at Epiphany Lutheran Church of Castle Rock. Mt. Zion Lutheran Church of Castle Rock or the Navy Memorial Fund. Blair was a bus driver for Colorado Early Colleges Network. The charter school system released a statement the day of the accident, calling it “a somber day” for the school community. An inspector from the Colorado Department of Education inspected the bus involved on Nov. 28, according to the statement, and the school did not believe any mechanical issues contributed to the crash.

ennifer has Siri on her cellphone. I have neither. I asked her, “What’s Siri?” When she told me, I just looked at her. I said, “Ask Siri how many games Warren Spahn won.” A woman’s pleasant voice, not that of a robot, said, “Warren Spahn, left-handed pitcher, won 363 games with the Boston Braves, Milwaukee Braves, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants. He was 23-7 at age 42 in 1963. He especially liked eggs Benedict and once ran over a garden hose with a lawn mower.” I told Jennifer to tell Siri to take the day off. The world is encamped with technologies that can auto pilot automobiles and airplanes. Drones deliver items on behalf of Amazon, and Amazon itself is something to behold. I have an entire slide show for an upcoming speaking engagement on a little device about
the size of three, side-by-side Chiclets. Whatever I want, I can have (within some measureable reason, like income) right now, by tapping on some keys, including my seat on a return flight that is scheduled for next July. Boom. Bap. Pow. Siri (and Alexa) and drones and all of the rest are wonderful, I guess, but something is lost (who said this?) when something is gained. Think of something that is simple yet profound, doesn’t come from China, and provides an inordinate amount of value for the money? Here are some nominations: toothbrushes, light bulbs, and No. 2 pencils. What I have chosen for discussion? Potatoes. Wait, don’t go. Those dusty, dull-brown russets in produce are a humble, starchy, tuberous crop, cheap as dirt, an apple of the earth, and full of nutrients.
O LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Argument falls flat In regard to last week’s article “Finding hope on a flat earth,” the Flat-Earthers state that the world is flat, covered by a dome, and Antarctica is a wall off ice that wraps around the flatcircular edge of the Earth. If this were so, north/south round-the-world flights would be impossible as the plane would hit the dome. And how do they account for communication and weather satellites, if there is no space? Are the satellites glued to the top of the dome? When a sailing ship with a tall mast heads out to sea, how come the mast moves downward toward the horizon as it moves on, finally disappearing, unless the world were round? If it were flat, the

entire ship would simply shrink away into the distance, all of it in view. Groups like this always claim the moon landing was faked, yet they seem to forget that there were six of them. When did they start faking all of this? With Sputnik? John Glenn? The Mercury, Gemini series? And why would Russia, our Cold War enemy, not blow the lid off the story? They had the technology to track it. They would have known. Instead, they were humiliated by losing the race to the moon. In my opinion, the people at the top of groups like this are capitalizing off of other people’s foolishness. Gregory S. Jones Castle Rock

I was reminded of the understated allure of potatoes recently when someone mentioned the Original Pantry Cafe, 877 S. Figueroa, in Los Angeles. Have you been there? It’s open 24 hours a day, 365 days a day. There is no lock on the door. It’s cash only, and unless it’s 2 in the morning, there will be a line. It will be worth it. Every day, they peel and steam potatoes, never boiling them. They steam 20 cases a day. That’s 180 tons a year. Country potatoes and hash browns for breakfast, and mashed potatoes the rest of the day and night. (You can order breakfast 24 hours a day.) “Jennifer, call the airline.”

way based on the principles, values, strategies, and tactics found in a book written about a man who lived more than 200 years ago. That was almost 10 years ago that I had that revelation. And to this day, it reminds me of the saying, “It’s not what’s new that works, it what works that works.” So how has this impacted my reading today? I actually spend as much time reading today as I used to read. However, I find myself taking the time to read, and then even reread a paragraph, chapter, an article, or maybe the entire book. I take more notes then I used to, and I dog-ear and bookmark more pages than ever before. I read classic novels and earlier books by some of my favorite authors, not just the brand-new releases. Bookstores are still my favorite place to shop. Whether I am looking for new, old, or even used, to me there is nothing like the bookstore. And speaking of used books, I am not sure about you, but I really enjoy
At one time or another, everyone has had McDonald’s french fries, and if I’m not careful, I will have to have some right after I conclude this essay. By the way, the AP Stylebook tells me that “french” is the style of cut, not the country, and, therefore, lower case is correct. Get them while they’re hot. And apparently we do: McDonald’s sells 3 reading a previously owned book and seeing where other people have highlighted a section, dog-eared a page, maybe even wrote a comment in the margin. And one of my favorite used books to buy and read is the Bible. I look for a Bible that is well-worn and has lots of notes and underscores already in it. And just like the analogy above about George Washington, sometimes an old Bible will show us that someone, at some point, was reading and appreciating life’s principles and values, and learning through life’s victories and hardships, they were just going through it at a different time. So how about you? What are you reading today? Can you share more about it? I sure hope you do, and as always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can remember that when it comes to books, both new and old alike, there is always something we can learn that will make this a better than good week.

Chips, scalloped potatoes, roasted potatoes, and maybe the best of all: baked potatoes. Split, fluffed, cheesed and chived. Take a look at all of the shiny red and green and orange and yellow

hile customers browse the glass cases to pick out their sweet treats at Rheinlander Bakery in Olde Town Arvada, in the back a team of bakers works to bring the sweets to life. One rolls out pastry dough, fills it with sweet almond paste and prepares it for the oven, while another decorates sugar cookies with ornate details. For over 50 years Rheinlander has been bringing German and Eastern European sweets to the Denver suburbs year-round. But the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the busiest of the year. With baking happening 12 hours a day, seven days a week, co-owner and baker Maro Dimmer said Rheinlander is 80 percent to 90 percent busier during the holidays than the rest of the year. “The last three days before Christmas are the busiest,” Dimmer said, adding that during those days, they can barely fit anything else in the over other than their strudels. Strudels are one of the bakery’s specialties with apple being the most popular. New to the holiday menu this year is an eggnog strudel. Other traditional items the bakery is

troversial,” Dimmer said. “But I tell people if you taste our fruitcake, you’ll change your mind.” As a German bakery in the United States, Rheinlander also offers handdecorated sugar cookies and holidayflavored cupcakes with a European buttercream. Rheinlander starts prepping for the holiday season in July to make sure they have enough supply to meet the holiday demand. “The holiday season has always been a tradition here,” Dimmer said. “Ever since our parents came from Germany. They started with the stollens and fruitcakes. People come from all over now. It would be a huge disappointment if we didn’t have holiday items.” Another bakery offering traditional family recipes is Grammy’s Italian Goodies in Wheat Ridge. The familyowned Italian restaurant and bakery bakes traditional Italian cookies and desserts from scratch daily. Their honey and wine cookies are a best seller. “They are really hard to make, so they are a special treat during the holidays,” said Joey Lyn Corder, coowner with her mom, dad and brother. Corder said their shop, which has been located on Harlan Street for the past four years, is like coming into a family member’s home. Because of that, serving traditional Italian sweets was a no-brainer. “There was never a meal served at our grammy’s house — our namesake — that there wasn’t something sweet on the table or served after dinner,” Corder said. “We want all our customers to know that they are part of the family.” Family is also the focus at Gold Mine Cupcakes in downtown Golden. During December, the shop turns into a winter wonderland. Every weekend in Golden, downtown comes to life with parades and special events, and Gold Mine is no different. “Being a family-owned business, we have always loved Christmas,” said Krista Lyons, co-owner of the cupcake shop with her mom and sister. “It’s such a family holiday, so we love the chance to be able to share our Christmas spirit and joy with the community.” During the winter months the flavors at Gold Mine shift to include those of traditional holiday cookies and drinks. Eggnog, gingerbread, peppermint hot chocolate, candy cane and white chocolate cranberry are just a few of the festive cupcake flavors found. Baking begins at 3 a.m. to get 300 cupcakes done before the shop opens each day. And that doesn’t include special orders. Santa and horse-drawn carriage rides can also be found at the shop on the weekends. “When we have Santa at the shop it brings in three times the amount of people we have on a Saturday,” Lyons said “It’s crazy busy, but it’s so much fun that we can bring smiles to peoples faces around the small town.”

HEAR MY VOICE STORIES from our YOUTH and why we should LISTEN to them
18 Parker Chronicle
December 21, 2018D
HEAR MY VOICE
Young voices carry a powerful message In this week’s special report called “Hear My Voice,” 15 young people from around the Denver metro area share their stories, their passions, their hopes for the future. They range in age from 15 to 23. They come from different backgrounds, places and experiences that have shaped who they are, how they view the world and what they want to change. In a year marked by the rise of unprecedented youth activism, in which young people fought to be
heard, the stories in this report reflect some of the nation’s most pressing challenges: mental health, immigration, equity, racism, politics, gender and sexuality identity, teen pregnancy and more. The excerpts from these interviews, which have been edited for clarity and space, point to a common call to action: to listen better, to be more compassionate, to be willing to change. They are aware of their power — 24 percent of the U.S. population is under
18, U.S. Census numbers show. They understand the issues because many live them, and they see the country we are becoming: By 2055, the United States will have no racial or ethnic majority, Pew Research Center reports. These young men and women are adamant in the belief they can make a difference — and that their voices should be heard. “Young voices make up a giant chunk of those living in this country, and they are widely underrepresented
and misunderstood because they are just labeled as ‘kids who have learning and maturing to do,’ ” said Englewood resident Maria Alsubhi, 19, who moved to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia when she was in eighth grade. “We cannot just repress and patronize them — it is frustrating and unfair that we already do ... Listening just expands perspectives, especially listening to a young, excited, refreshing voice.” So, let’s listen.

‘People should listen to everyone’ Ikram Zetraoui and Rokaya Abdulameer Denver
I
kram Zetraoui, 18, was a freshman in high school when she moved to Denver from Morocco to live with her older sister. A high school senior, she hopes to study psychology and criminology to become a detective or psychiatrist. She has always been interested, she says, in trying to understand how people view themselves. Rokaya Abdulameer, 17, emigrated from Iraq in 2009 to seek shelter from the war. Being from another culture, she says, has taught her not to judge. Also a senior, she plans to study business and pre-law in college next year. If you knew me, you would know … Ikram: “When I speak my language, people try to protect themselves and they scoot away from where I am. It happened once on a bus, but I didn’t know anyone there, so I didn’t know how to react. One time it happened at school and another girl stood up for me. It’s nice to have allies and people who are going to stand up for you and tell you how to react in that situation because I wouldn’t know what to do. “Anything that’s attached to human services — serving food, giving them their needs — anything that is serving them makes me happy. Seeing people in front of me suffer
Rokaya Abdulameer and going through the same kind of situation, it made me realize that so many people are ungrateful for things they have. And people who don’t have anything are so grateful for what they do have. I just try to find a balance between those two kinds of people.” Rokaya: “Not living in Iraq made it hard to understand where my culture came from, but my parents have taught me everything — our Arabic language, our traditions. I love the people of my culture and everything, really. The food, the dancing, the celebrations. Coming here, “I didn’t know that so many cultures could exist in one place, because I grew up around people who followed the same values and traditions as me and my family.” How I want to change the world Ikram: “People see immigrants as people who are trying to steal their jobs and trying to get their salaries ... Muslim people are seen as ... not on
Ikram Zetraoui the same level of humanity ... At the end of the day, if we really look into America’s deepest economy, we see it’s based on immigrants. I would like other people to see immigrants as how they see themselves. “If I had a chance to change the world, I would probably change how people are viewed ... Why is there so much hatred ... and so many crimes? ... I’m interested in human services, and that’s a way for me to help other people. I’m thinking about doing that as volunteering. I feel like I’m pretty good with other people ... helping people in need — coming together as one, basically.” Rokaya: “The biggest problem right now is that people think everyone from the Middle East is a terrorist and all that, so I guess that’s the biggest thing that I would want to change ... People are not like that, you just have to get to know them. “My biggest goal is to go back and use the opportunities I’ve had in America to help however I can. I was
thinking about it, and there’s a lack of education there. I think that’s my biggest goal is to just go back to the schools in need and just help out. I have pretty good English — maybe I can teach them there.” Why my voice is important Ikram: “If we all come as one collective mind, I feel like we would be so much more successful than just looking back on our mistakes and blaming it on other people and other countries. We need to forget all of this hate that is between us.”
Rokaya: “We are the future and this generation has a lot to offer. Knowing different perspectives helps us understand the world more. I think I bring a different perspective, which is why people should listen to everyone, especially those who are from different cultures. Just don’t judge someone by their cover. I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve learned — just to not judge someone if you don’t know them.”

‘We don’t recognize the footsteps we are leaving behind’

in Pine Ridge, that’s in South Dakota, some of them don’t even have homes and some of them don’t really have water. So I really want to just make sure that rezes have the supplies they need to just even survive because the winter is coming. “I really want the world to recognize all of the bad things that are being done right now because I think with that recognition some people will take initiative for what happens — like especially with GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance). I just want to raise awareness that it isn’t right to judge someone based on how they identify because that’s not your business. “And for the world, I just think we need to respect the land we live on more. Some people are treating it really bad, and we don’t recognize the footsteps we are leaving behind. And if this earth dies, we have nowhere else to go.”
lizabeth Osterhoudt, 17, is a member of the Pueblo of Jemez Native American tribe and has family who lives on a New Mexico reservation. Growing up in a predominantly white community, she says she has dealt with racism, along with unintended slights and negative assumptions from classmates and teachers. She is passionate about fighting for equal rights of Native Americans and such populations as the LGBTQ community who she says need allies to make their voices heard. She plans to attend college and raise awareness about the injustice that Native people still face. If you knew me, you would know ... “Here, a lot of people don’t know my race, so they just assume I’m Hispanic at first, and then I’ll get a lot of microaggressions and just racist comments to Hispanic people ... But then a lot of people, once they find out I’m Native, really start to target me, in a way. They’ll ask if I live in a tipi ... One time, in the classroom, these two girls presented ‘Indian tag’ as a game in gym. The teacher didn’t do anything. My classmates didn’t do anything. So I had to be the one
Elizabeth Osterhoudt to stand up and say it wasn’t right. And then I get asked a lot if I speak ‘Indian.’ “I was talking with my teacher — he didn’t realize that he was being racist. We were talking about alcoholism, but he told me that I should be careful because I’m Native ... This girl was saying I was her ‘Native American friend,’ so I was sort of held as an object. It’s really
hard to go between being open and an object. You don’t want to be too open about anything because then you’ll be treated like this prized possession.” How I want to change the world “I really want to start branching out to just Native Americans and help out a lot on rezes (reservations) because they are in more need right now … Up
Why my voice is important “It is important to listen to the voices of the young people because they have learned from the older generations. As they mature, they can recognize the mistakes and actions the past generations have committed. From that recognition, they can then carve a new path that will be more efficient in shaping the world to be better.”

M
aria Alsubhi, 19, was born in Saudi Arabia and moved to the United States when she was in eighth grade. Because of her dad’s love of exploring, Alsubhi has traveled to seven countries throughout Europe and Asia. She is a freshman at the University of Colorado-Boulder and has goals to serve others. She frequently shadows public health officials, doctors and those working for nonprofits so that she can learn as much as she can about how to make a difference later in life.
If you knew me, you would know ... “My family, we travel a lot. We’ve gone to parts of Asia and parts of Europe. Just seeing the way these people live and experiencing a different way of life helps you be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes a lot easier. It helps you conknect with others more and then you can find a different network. For me, personally, it helps me connect with people if I can put myself in their shoes and understand where they’re coming from.

How I want to change the world “The best way to understand other people is to talk to them.

Maybe my message is just to listen. “Considering the fact that 24 percent of the U.S. population is under age 18, young voices make up a giant chunk of those living in this country, and they are widely underrepresented and Maria Alsubhi misunderstood because they are just labeled as ‘kids who have learning and maturing to do.’ This is dangerous because it leaves no one listening to powerful young voices that are attempting to represent the new generations. We cannot just repress and patronize them — it is frustrating and unfair that we already do ... Listening just expands perspectives, especially listening to a young, excited, refreshing voice.”

She relied on Hope House, a nonprofit in Arvada, to help her take care of her son and herself, living in its residential program for about five months. Today, she works full-time and plans to attend college in Florida to study law. If you knew me, you would know ... “I was a baby having a baby. I was 15 when I had my son, so I was in ninth grade … Teen moms, when they have a child, they either mature or they don’t. With my case, I come from a very dysfunctional, abusive family.

Mike Andrews Denver
ike Andrews, 20, a volunteer coach at The Phoenix, a sober active community in Denver, began using meth and heroin when he was 13 years old, getting high with his mother. He got his GED before heading into recovery. He says he has been arrested and jailed about seven times. Almost two years ago, after a week into his six-month sentence, he realized he needed to make a change. He hasn’t touched a drug since, he says, and is intent on helping others. If you knew me, you would know ... “Using was pretty much the ultimate reason why I was arrested several times. I’m now labeled a multiconvicted violent felon, so there’s a huge overhang. I can’t have a normal job, so right now I work at a treatment center. “Using is also the only reason that I have become the person I am today. It’s the only reason I’ve had to work this hard to be as good of a person as I try to be. It’s influenced everything in my life. “I grew up in a home with addiction, so it’s always kind of been a part of my life. I got high with my mom. That kind of screwed my whole worldview. “My breaking point was the realization of how alone I was in the world. With all the ‘friends’ that I had made, none of them were real and nothing was real, essentially, which is really strange if you think about it. The last time I got locked up, I went into jail and I had a pair of pants, a pair of boots and a hoodie and two rings. I didn’t have a wallet. I didn’t have a phone. I didn’t have anyone to call. I didn’t have anywhere to go. “Having completely nothing and having to build myself back up was probably the hardest thing I’ve done in my life … It took me a solid six months of doing nothing but walking the streets all day long trying to find an ID, a job, a place to live and all these other things.”
FOR MORE INFORMATION The Phoenix is a sober active community that provides resources, support and community for addiction recovery. 2239 Champa St., Denver, 720-440-9175, https://thephoenix.org How I want to change the world “I’ve completely turned my life around, so I’m just trying to break the stigma behind how terrible addiction is. The whole ‘addiction is a choice thing’ irritates me so much … That’s absolute nonsense, so I’m trying to change that stigma as well. Nine out of 10 people don’t know that I was ever a drug user. Essentially, not everything is what it seems. “I think a lot of the perspective around addiction is that a lot of us are monsters and that we’re incapable of being helped, and that we’re just pretty much a lost cause. That’s definitely not true. The whole monster piece, that shapes the people in addiction, that shapes their view of themselves, because for a long time I fully believed I was a lost cause and that I was a monster, whatever you want to call it. “I work in a treatment facility, not only because that’s pretty much the only job I can get, but it’s nice to help other people — whether it’s just helping other addicts or getting the information out. I think both are equally relevant. Whether or not the information gets out, there still needs to be people there for other addicts. There still needs to be some type of support. Whether they do 12-step, whether they’re religious, whether they’re just doing their own thing, whatever that looks like for them, I’m always there to support whoever. That’s been my biggest mission for me because I had no help for a good while before I figured things out.” Why my voice is important “If we don’t listen to our youth then nothing will change. Young people die every day, whether it be from addiction or hate crimes, and it has to stop. The only way to change is to listen, so people need to start opening their ears and their minds.”

If you knew me, you would know ... Being Buddhist “didn’t really shape my life until recently. I went to a camp over the summer in California that really changed my perspective. I wouldn’t say that my life really revolves around it or it’s the most important part of my life, but I’d say that it’s a community that I have friends in also — outside of school, outside of clubs.

That’s a huge part of me — developing relationships with people and being able to connect on the emotional level, and understanding where they’re coming from when they’re dealing with hard stuff.

‘Hope and humanity is the ticket to safety and prosperity’ Wesley Ferguson Castle Rock
“Being gay defines who I am but, at the same time, it doesn’t. People are like `describe yourself.’ And I’m like `Well, I do a lot of theater, and I do art, and, oh yeah, I guess I’m gay.’ I try not to play up the gay stereotypes. I try to kind of avoid them and just be who I am … I’m really lucky to be gay in the time that I’m gay, so it makes me thankful for being alive now … It’s made me aware of how lucky I am, but also of how much I still have to fight — and people like me still have to fight. I’m also very lucky because I was never really bullied by a single person for being gay.”
W
esley Ferguson, 18, told his family and friends he was gay when he was a high school freshman so that he would no longer be hidden in the shadows. The national moment of silence after the Parkland shooting in April spurred an emotional response that propelled him to take action. These days, the senior leads walkouts and peaceful protests for gun control and LGBTQ rights and is part of an outreach organization that encourages youth to register to vote. He plans to study technical theater, with a focus on stage management, in college. If you knew me, you would know … “I just have to speak out. It’s my duty. It’s what I have to do as a human being in America. I have to use the rights that I’ve been given and do what I can to spread goodness in the world. “I first questioned my sexuality in sixth or seventh grade. By seventh grade, I was pretty sure, but I didn’t really tell anyone, and I was kind of scared to come out because I was like
Wesley Ferguson `I don’t know anyone else.’ I came out in ninth grade, around September. I was real proud of coming out as a freshman. All of the upperclassmen that I knew in theater company were just so supportive, and I was like `Oh, my gosh, why didn’t I do this earlier?’
How I want to change the world “I would like universal background checks. I am in favor of an assault weapons ban because it’s a weapon of war and if we’re doing other things the way we should, nationally and globally, we shouldn’t need weapons of war in our homes. We shouldn’t need to be scared of people the way that we are … An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind … I want others to be more accepting of people and be able to see that everyone is human. I believe that hope and humanity is the ticket to safety and prosperity for everyone.
“I want people to understand that gun violence isn’t only about mass shootings, it’s also about things like suicide ... It affects us all. It’s not just about your rights. It’s about my rights. And her rights. And his rights. And their rights over there. “I just want the LGBT community to be seen, just like anyone else. We want a happy home, a happy family, a happy significant other … We want to know that we’re not going to be discriminated against.” Why my voice is important “Everyone has some reason for being the way they are ... They were rude in line because they woke up late and, maybe yesterday, a presentation they had didn’t go well. They were rude on the road because their sister is sick and in the hospital, and they’re really just concerned about getting to her. People aren’t unkind because they want to be unkind, they’re unkind because something made them that way … Anger begets anger, goodness begets goodness.

He is now working toward a GED and plans to attend college to study psychology. If you knew me, you would know … “I realized when I was pretty young. When I was 5 years old, I loved girly things.

He’s saying that this is for every unarmed black man that’s been shot in the 21st century, for kids that are still living in poverty, for young people that aren’t allowed to have a voice. It’s also been used against me. I’ve had people tell me that because of the color of my skin, I won’t be able to win a citywide race. I just get to prove them wrong in November.

Cyndy Dominguez Arvada
yndy Dominguez, 20, attends Sobesky Academy in Lakewood and is participating in Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Project Search Program, which teaches young people with developmental disabilities who are nearing the end of their high school careers the skills they need to work. She has a cognitive disability that makes it more difficult for her to learn new things quickly. She is interning at the hospital to gain job experience. For her internship, Dominguez takes the vitals of patients, cleans the exam rooms and performs many other jobs usually handled by medical assistants. Her goal is to live an independent and successful life. If you knew me, you would know ... “They didn’t find my disability until I was a freshman in high school. The put me on a ton of meds for ADHD, but it wasn’t that. It’s cognitive. And then my life changed. How I learn has changed. I feel like I got more support to learn in the way I learn best — being shown and talked to during the process just to make sure I do it right.

“I’ve been in Project Search just for a few months, but I’ve been in transition for three years. JeffCo Transition Services is for young adults with a disability to job train, budget and teach them how to do cooking and cleaning. “I want to be a CNA (certified nurse assistant) and maybe an RN (registered nurse). I want to take classes and find good classes that will help me how to do stuff. I maybe want to go to college in the future, I’m not sure. I want to get my own apartment in Arvada and get my driver’s license.”
How I want to change the world “I did a summer job at a retirement home and I just fell in love with it because I was helping the elderly and taking them to the bathroom and giving them baths and talking to them. I just like helping people ... That made me feel like I was helping patients and learning more about medicine and how to not just be a standby person. I liked that feeling of helping people and this job will give me a good point of view in the medical career. “I want to help people and to demonstrate all of us can help out in the world, too. Just be patient with us. Don’t think we can’t do everything you guys do ... some of us can’t, but most of us can. All of us can’t be independent all of the time and all of us need support.” Why my voice is important “We are still figuring out life. The older generation needs to be more patient with us because we are still figuring it out. We do the same things they have been through ... It makes them aware about how people with a disability don’t get everything they say and it kind of puts them in our shoes. To teach them how to actually talk to us and not get mad easily. If they try to tell us what to do really fast, sometimes we can’t.”
Why my voice is important Abigayle: “We have all been lucky enough to be in a country that wants us to exercise our voice and vote on our right to speak to one another. As individuals, the best thing that we can do for our community is to take a stand and talk about what we believe in. “Just a general rule of thumb, especially to the younger population, is to make sure that you understand when you go into the voting booth how many people have worked for and fought for and died for that right that you have now been given. And that, as a person, the best thing that you can do is make sure that your opinion is heard. You’ll hear a lot of people say, `Oh, vote blue, vote red.’ But vote how you believe in and what you believe and just make sure that you are always doing what you truly believe is best for your country — and then you can’t ever really go wrong.” Codey: “It’s always that we’re trying to get more people to vote, right? In my opinion, it does not matter how you vote as long as you are voting and making sure that you are putting your opinion in the polls and you are making your vote matter. That’s so important. We live in a democracy, let’s make sure it stays that way.”
ABOUT THE REPORTER Taylore Todd, 17, is a senior at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, where she is copy editor of the yearbook. She has been involved in the school’s journalism program for four years and has spent the past nine weeks interning at Colorado Community Media. Todd was inspired to do this project by Brandon Stanton’s “Humans of New York.” She has always loved learning about people and their experiences and is passionate about advocating for social equality for people of all backgrounds. She used both interests to create the idea for “Hear My Voice.” To report and write the stories for this project, she interviewed youths from Castle Rock to Arvada to Denver and other metro-area municipalities to find out how they see their place in today’s world. “I haven’t been through Taylore Todd a lot of the experiences they have been through,” Todd said of the young people she interviewed. “It made me aware of what more I can do. This world is going to be ours someday — it might as well start listening to us now.”

Kayden Johnson, a 160-pound wrestler for Ponderosa, takes on opponents simply with his three or four favorite moves. He hopes to attend dental school next year at either Arizona State or Utah Valley. NICK PUCKETT
Senior Kayden Johnson wrestles for Ponderosa BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
n a sport that, by nature, comes down to the individual, Kayden Johnson is a team player. The senior does what is best for the storied Ponderosa wrestling squad. He’s an unassuming athlete. He studies his opponents before each match and emphasizes his strengths, and tries to perfect them with each match. He’ll stick to his go-to arm-bar series of pin moves, but the 160-pounder will usually overmatch any opponent with just the basics. The challenges and adversity he faces in wrestling make it his favorite sport. “It’s probably one of the hardest sports in the world, and it’s been around for such a long time,” Johnson said. “Anything can happen to anybody.” Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight? Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Q&A with Kayden Johnson What’s your favorite pin move? Easily, my favorite pin move is the bar arm series. Get a bar arm in there and chicken wing, something like that. It’s always a fun move. What’s your after-weigh-in goto snack? Subway. Got to get that Subway sandwich. Cold cut combo. Got to get that lettuce. Gatorade afterward. What’s your least-favorite conditioning drill? Probably the stairs. Running down and up the stairs really gets the legs going. That’s a little rough. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given? You’ve got to have a winning mindset, in my opinion, and always have that feeling of `Why not me?’ That feeling of being a little kid, watching everybody else and be like `Hey I want to be like that.’ Kind of gives you that `Why not me?’ factor.
What do you do in your downtime between matches? Really just trying to focus and make sure you have a plan before you go out and wrestle. Watch your opponent a little bit and see what he’s going to do, and have a plan for what you’re going to do when you get out on the mat. Do you have a type of pre-game music you listen to? We do like kind of old-school stuff. A lot of classic rock. I like rap, all the modern rappers now. It kind of gets me going. What’s your favorite class? Probably P.E. classes, I have a lot of fun in that. I like sciences and math as well. Those are the fun ones. Do you have any plans for after high school? I want to go to dental school. I’m trying to be a dentist. ASU (Arizona State University) is my No. 1, then Utah Valley is my second.
COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s a very unassuming kid. He’s great in the room, great out of the room, comes from a great family, works his butt
off every single day. He’s a real team-oriented guy. We had a decision last week — what would be best — and he came down on the option that was better for the team, which is always impressive.’ Carmen Rinaldis, head coach of Ponderosa wrestling
Key stats | Johnson has a record of 10-2 through Dec. 17.
e are often reminded that one of the best things about the holiday season is the ability to help those in need. It’s a special time of year, and Rock Canyon assistant basketball coach Nick Mahan and his uncle, Shawn Dominguez, who is a Col- OVERTIME orado State Patrol officer, were feeling good as they helped orchestrate a donation of old Jaguars basketball uniforms to a school in Derby, Australia. The uniforms Jim Benton were used by kids and even adult teams in Derby. This bittersweet story came to light when Trev Menmuir Sr. and his son, Trev Menmuir Jr., were in Colorado and spoke during a course on emotional intelligence for Colorado Department of Public Safety employees in late October. Gerry Cleveland, an attorney for at-risk kids and a businessman from Australia who has known Trev Menmuir Sr. for years, helped teach the course, and since the Menmuirs were being treated to a three-week vacation in Colorado and Washington, D.C., they were invited to speak to the CDPS class. What they told the CDPS group was moving and when they asked for donations of basketball equipment and paraphernalia, Dominguez called Mahan, who talked with Rock Canyon head coach Kent Grams and found some old uniforms to ship down under, along with gifts from other donating organizations. “The class was so moved that we reached out to different sources to find basketball attire for the kids,” said Mahan. “Rock Canyon donated home and away uniforms for the kids. The uniforms were a big hit with everybody in Derby.” Derby is a tribal township in western Australia with a population of 3,325, and 47.2 percent of the population is of Aboriginal decent. Much of the Aboriginal population faces poverty and poor living conditions. Trev Sr. is employed at the local school as a counselor. His paid hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, but he usually works from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. between Monday and Saturday. On Sundays, he is usually working between noon and 10 p.m. His day starts at 5 a.m. as he drives around to pick up students for school because their parents are unable to drive them. SEE BENTON, P29

Chaparral, Valor athletes share volleyball honors Julianna Dalton, Anna Davis named South Metro Players of Year BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Chaparral’s Julianna Dalton was switched this season from an outside hitter to the middle, the position that Valor Christian’s Anna Davis plays. Dalton and Davis were standout volleyball players last season and helped their teams advance to the Class 5A state volleyball championship match. Colorado Community Media has selected Dalton and Davis at the 2018 South Metro Co-Volleyball Players of the Year. Dalton, a 6-foot-4 junior, led the Continental League with a .373 hitting percentage and was also the league leader with 126 blocks which was third in the state. She finished with 222 kills, a 49.0 kills percentage, 69 digs and 24 assists. “I normally do not play middle,” said Dalton. “It’s not what I play in club. I played it my freshman year just because I really didn’t know what I wanted to do. Coach asked me if I wanted to play middle this season and I said sure simply because
Chaparral’s Julianna Dalton (19) is the coSouth Metro Volleyball Player of the Year. PHOTOS BY PAUL DISALVO
there was no one else. “At the beginning I thought, `Oh my gosh, this is awful. I cannot do this. I can’t even get up on every block. I cannot close or whatever.’ But I really improved as a middle.”
Valor Christian’s Anna Davis is the co-South Metro Volleyball Player of the Year. She still prefers being an outside hitter. “I still like outside,” she noted. “Middle definitely helps me with blocking. We have had club practices and after moving from middle to
outside, blocking is 10 times easier because you are only in charge of two people instead of three. As the middle you have to block everyone and you are in charge of closing. It is just a more fas-paced game for a middle. You have to be up on every ball. “ Davis, a 6-1 junior who has committed to Tulane University, was up all season for Valor and a key reason the Eagles captured the state championships. She led the 5A Jeffco League with a .473 hitting percentage. She had 243 kills and a 55.5 kills percentage. She was the Jeffco leader with 114 blocks. “I played well this year,” said Davis. “The main thing was I just focused on working hard being determined to be the hardest-working player on the court. It paid off because I was able to do things and push harder than I was able to do before in previous years.” She feels blocking takes more skill than hitting. “Blocking is definitely harder having to read the players on the other side of the net and reacting quickly to what they are doing and be able to get up strong and take about court and space away from them,” she continued. “Hitting is a lot of the same, smart placement and working hard to put the ball where you want it to go and a lot of that is the connection you have with your setters.”

King Features Weekly Service
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) That goal you set way back when is finally in sight. Maintain your focus on achieving it, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant demands for your attention. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A temperamental flare-up creates negative feelings that need to be dealt with immediately. But things once again go well after the apologies are made and hurt feelings are soothed. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An early impulsive act causes confusion. But all is smoothed over once explanations are made. Expect a friend or family member to ask for your kind and always wise advice. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might have to do some juggling of your priorities, as a personal matter appears to require more time and attention. Put your pride aside and accept help from those who offer it. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your creative aspect is strong. Not only does it help you accomplish your goals, but it also inspires others. This could lead to a potentially rewarding collaboration opportunity. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful about making major decisions when you’re not really committed to them. And resist any pressure to do otherwise. Better to delay action until all doubts are resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: You set goals and are rarely distracted by any attempt to move you off the path you’ve chosen to reach them.
December 17, 2018
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be busier than you had expected right now. But between the socializing rounds and the workplace tasks, there are opportunities for special moments with that certain someone. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creative approach leads to a quicker-than-expected solution to a workplace problem. Now you can devote more time to that proposal you hope to introduce by midmonth. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Technological glitches create problems early on. But by midweek, all runs smoothly once again, and you’re well and truly on your way to meeting all your deadlines. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are high, and you feel you can handle everything that comes along. But try to take a break from your hectic pace for some quiet time with someone close to you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Before you pounce on that shiny new opportunity, take more time to check it out to see how much substance actually lies beneath all that glitter. A family member has important news. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A personal situation you thought was resolved resurfaces, thanks to a possibly well-intentioned move that went awry. Deal with it as soon as possible. Accept the help of a trusted friend.
