DPS middle school performance improving, more families choosing to enroll Denver Public Schools is experiencing continued improvements in middle school performance and, in turn, an increase in enrollment in sixthgrade, the traditional entry point for middle school. The number of middle schools rated as “Distinguished” or “Meets Expectations,” the two highest ratings on the DPS School Performance Framework, has more than doubled – from eight in 2010 to 21 in 2013. In addition, 150 incoming sixth-graders were not enrolled in a DPS elementary school this year and have chosen to enroll in a DPS middle school for sixth-grade.

This includes 45 students coming to DPS to enroll in one of the schools within the new

Greater Park Hill/Stapleton middle school shared boundary for the 2014-15 school year.

According to newly released data from the 2014 SchoolChoice process, the school system’s streamlined enrollment system that offers access to all DPS schools through one form and one timeline, 96 percent of the families who live in the GPHS shared boundary submitted a SchoolChoice form by the Jan. 31 deadline. Every GPHS student who wanted to enroll

in one of the shared-boundary options was enrolled in their first-choice school, with the exception of seven students who wanted to enroll in DSST: Stapleton and several students needing more intensive special education services to support their learning needs.

The Greater Park Hill/Stapleton shared boundary is similar to one created in northeast Denver’s Montbello and Green Valley Ranch neighborhoods, and it is showing strong signs of driving similar success

in attracting families back to their neighborhood schools.

Instead of being assigned to one neighborhood boundary school, families within the GPHS shared boundary have the opportunity to choose from five high-quality middle schools. The transition to this shared boundary will include the relocation of McAuliffe International School, a highperforming school currently housed in Stapleton, to the Smiley campus in Park Hill. After years of declines in both student achievement and enrollment, DPS chose to phase out Smiley Middle School. For the 2012-13 school year, Smiley’s See story on page 2

An update from the Capitol

By Rep. Jeanne Labuda May 4-10 will be known as “National Correctional Officers and Employees Week.”

There are approximately 6,000 highly qualified and experienced employees of the Department of Corrections charged with serving the citizens of Colorado.

They hold offenders accountable and give them the opportunities to make positive change in their lives. These 6,000 employees care for approximately 20,000 offenders, in an environment that can often be stressful, challenging, and put them in harm’s way. Since 1899, 16 officers have made the ultimate sacrifice, losing their lives in the line of duty; Tom Clements, Director of the Department of Corrections, is the latest DOC employee to lose his life.

Rep. Jeanne Labuda

Since a proclamation by President Reagan in 1984, the United States has taken a week each May to honor the men and women who work as correctional officers.

These officers are well trained and are charged with caring for

approximately 20,000 offenders, 44% of whom suffer from mental illness. As you doubtless know, our penal institutions have replaced the mental institutions that used to house our developmentally disabled citizens. Thus, our correctional officers have become caretakers as well as guards.

If you know or ever meet someone who is a correctional officer or employee, please thank them for their dedication.

I am always eager to speak to you and answer any questions to address any concerns you may have, whether on this issue or any other that is important to you.

You can call my office at 303866-2966 or send me an email at Jeanne.Labuda.House@state. co.us. I look forward to hearing from you.

Arapahoe B-cycle moving into higher gears Nonprofit makes $5,200 in first fundraiser South metro got a step closer to getting an interconnected bikesharing program last month.

Arapahoe County B-cycle founder and executive director Joel Phillips announced that the organization’s inaugural fundraising event, “For the Love of Bicycling,” held April 24 at the

Wellshire Inn, raised more than $5,200 and established a funding history that is key to be considered for private and governmental capital grants.

Iley and Associates and Wood Partners sponsored the event, which was highlighted by a dinner provided by Top Chef TV show winner Hosea Rosenberg, founder of Blackbelly catering.

A silent auction featured a bicycle donated by Any and All Bi-

cycles of Englewood and Cherry Hills Village Mayor Doug Tisdale issued a proclamation decreeing April 24 as Arapahoe County Bcycle Day. Arapahoe County B-cycle is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide and manage an easily accessible and affordable transportation alternative that promotes a healthy lifestyle among residents and visitors to Arapahoe County.

final year offering sixth-grade, just 19 percent of neighborhood families enrolled there. For 2014-15, McAuliffe’s first year on the Smiley campus, 43 percent of neighborhood families enrolled there. An additional 32 percent of Park Hill students are enrolled at the four other middle school programs in the GPHS shared boundary.

“We’ve worked hard over the past several years to offer more high-quality middle schools across Denver, and it’s encouraging to see more families returning to their neighborhood schools,” DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg said.

In addition to greater numbers of families enrolling within the Park Hill and Stapleton neighborhoods, Skinner Middle School in northwest Denver is also experiencing dramatic increases in both overall enrollment and in the number of neighborhood families choosing the school. Skinner’s total enrollment for 2014 is projected at 500 students, which represents a 34 percent increase since its 2012 enrollment of 372 students.

Of these 500 students, 185 will be sixth-graders, which represents an increase of 52 percent since the 2011-12 school year. In addition, the school system’s official enrollment count, which is conducted in October of each year, reflects a 94 percent increase in the number of neighborhood residents enrolling in Skinner (136 students in 2013 compared with 70 students in 2012).

Among Denver residents, 82 percent of kids in “transition” grades – those entering kindergar-

ten, sixth- or ninth-grade – participated in SchoolChoice. Of those, 92 percent received one of their top three choices. All students received a place at their neighborhood school if they so requested.

Increases in middle school enrollment were complemented by an increase in enrollment opportunities in preschool. Through the bond and mill levy initiatives that were approved by Denver voters in November 2012, DPS has increased the number of preschool seats by 11 percent (an additional 438 seats).

Specifically, the number of full-day enrollment opportunities for fouryear-olds – the option most popular with parents and most recommended by early-education experts – has increased by 15 percent (an additional 328 seats).

“We know that focusing on kids’ earliest learning experiences and ensuring every child is at-gradelevel in reading and math by thirdgrade dramatically increases their chances of being well-prepared for college,” Boasberg said. “We are very grateful to the Denver community for investing more resources in these critical early years.”

The first construction project from the 2012 bond was a new early childhood education center in southwest Denver on the Kepner campus, called Pascual LeDoux Academy. This center opened in the fall of 2013 and has created an opportunity for more children to attend full-day four-year-old preschool and has reduced overcrowding at area elementary schools.

In far northeast Denver, building space has been expanded at both McGlone Elementary and Escalante Biggs Academy, a school offering

preschool and kindergarten. These expansions have relieved classroom overcrowding at the elementary level as well as created additional preschool enrollment opportunities.

Through the mill levy, an additional 400 to 500 preschool seats are being created throughout the city through partnerships with existing community sites. These opportunities are made possible by partnerships with existing community preschool programs that are providing additional capacity for DPS families. Combining DPS preschool enrollment opportunities and those provided by community partners, mill levy funding created a total of more than 800 additional preschool seats for four-year-olds in Denver.

Students who participate in SchoolChoice are asked to rank their school preferences on a form and submit it no later than Jan. 31.

Students have the option to list up to five school options, and then the DPS Office of Choice & Enrollment Services matches students to a school based on availability. Fewer than 1 percent of transition-grade students who listed five choices were not enrolled in one of their top-preference schools.

The DPS SchoolChoice program was ranked fourth in the nation by the Brookings Institution, up from 24th place last year. The Brookings report rated enrollment systems on a variety of factors, including how user-friendly and accessible the program is for families, the quality of the program’s design, and the layout and availability of information related to school offerings.

Englewood’s own Runaway Express plays the CityCenter Englewood Amphitheater on June 19 as part of the Sounds of Summer series.

Englewood’s summer sizzles with music City’s annual concert series covers the gamut

By Peter Jones Englewood’s Sounds of Summer concert series gets underway next month in one of the south metro area’s more intimate outdoor music venues. CityCenter Englewood Amphitheater is right next to the city’s Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway on the site of the former Cinderella City.

Although located near the busy intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive, the outdoor arena can be easy to miss, even though it is right down the outdoor stairs and elevator from the city’s bustling light rail station.

The season kicks off June 12 with modern country’s Michael

Aldridge, a singer, guitarist and songwriter whose first CD Simple & True was released in 2011.

The band’s Scott Getty and Lori Elaine, on lead guitar and bass respectively, add a rock sensibility to the band’s Nashville sound.

Up next on June 19 is Englewood’s own Runaway Express, a Colorado mainstay also cut from the state’s rich cloth of countryrock. Bandleaders Jim and Salli Ratts have long professional ties to such country and folk legends as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Kingston Trio and the group’s “Howlin’ at the Moon” was a 1998 bluegrass hit for noted mandolinist Sam Bush. Runaway may be best known for its ambitious concept albums in tribute to Buddy Holly and the 1969 Woodstock festival.

The ‘60s come alive again June

26 when FourEver Fab pays homage to the Beatles, playing dozens of the band’s hits on authentic instruments and incorporating three costume changes in deference to some of the Beatles’ distinct periods.

Englewood digs even further into musical roots July 10 when Papa Juke fathers some nostalgia for America’s classic juke joints with a Southern recipe of blues, boogie, Cajun and anything else fit for a funky bass line and blistering harmonica.

It would be hard to find a song not on the boundless set list for the dance band Raising Cain, which takes the stage July 17. The band and its sometime horn section can weave all the way from Kid Rock to “The Girl from Ipanema.”

The show will be no less danceable July 24 when Unforget-

table brings its decidedly memorable mix of songs designed to get Englewood bopping on the grass.

On July 31, the Jerseys will have the audience dancing on the beach – be it Jersey’s or California’s – with an even mix of Four Seasons and Beach Boys and jaunts to the Caribbean for moments of pop ska and Jimmy Buffet. In other words, this group of beachcombers will get sand of all varieties in your shoes.

The season closes Aug. 7 with Buckner Fuckenjazz, whose new CD title Get’cha Groove On says it all.

All concerts are on Thursdays and begin at 6:30 p.m. Audiences are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets and picnic dinners. In the event of inclement weather, call the 303-762-2598 for notices of cancellation or postponement.

The 2014 Infiniti QX80 – a vehicle fit for the kings

By Don Bain Formerly called the QX56, a reference to the 5.6-liter V8 that develops 400 horsepower, the new 2014 QX80 AWD is as plush and full of bling as it is more than amply powered.

It is well known that the Range Rover HSE is used in Britain to protect the queen, but the 2014 Infiniti QX80 is meant to serve the king – whether of an island nation, the boardroom, the courtroom or the developer’s construction site.

Capable of hard work, if called upon, this is a luxury, three-row SUV from word one – a work of refinement, craftsmanship and technological advancement far superior to most any eight-passenger SUV on the market.

When testing out an earlier version of the QX56, a friend saw it and within two years bought one – he is a dynamic, successful lawyer with a wife, two sons and a pair of boxers.

He has room for them all, plus cargo space to spare, entertainment for the kids and comfort beyond what his wife is used to in her late model Cadillac SUV, which she finds satisfactory as her daily drive.

These appointments include leather-upholstery throughout – which passengers insisted was lambskin based on its softness, gathered elegantly over the front door armrests – complimented by Mocha burl wood trim, 12-way adjustable driver’s and 10-way adjustable front passenger heated seats, plus a power tinted moonroof.

The lighting that welcomes entrants in three stages and the ambient lighting and night illumination of the gauges make the owner feel welcomed by the vehicle itself.

The royals of suburbia will appreciate the rear deck cargo net and wonder why this shopping accessory hasn’t been around since the Beatles.

It is truly efficient at holding flimsy

The base price of the Infiniti QX80 AWD is $64,450.

plastic bags from the grocery and keeping cans and bottles from rolling around the cargo area.

The second row seats do an Infiniti two-step to provide quick easy access to the third row, quickly enough for the most impatient teenage divas.

Then, there’s the way it drives.

This large vehicle hardly sways or bobs as you accelerate or corner, thanks to the Hydraulic Body Motion Control System developed by Infiniti engineers.

This system monitors the distribution of force to the inner and outer suspension in order to maintain a relatively level body orientation throughout the driving experience.

To those who drove the cars of many years ago for any length of time, this is a remarkable feature – essentially defying the laws of motion.

It has power to spare – despite its considerable curb weight (5,878 lbs) the QX80 can get a move on when pressed into service. It has a considerable towing capability, thanks to a Class IV tow hitch and 413 lb-ft of

torque, if that’s what rocks your boat.

It can tow up to a class-leading 8,500 lbs, outdoing the diesel VW Touareg by 1,000 lbs.

While you’re hauling that boat or horse trailer, the 15-speakers of the Bose Cabin Surround system will insure you’re joy travels with you.

If tastes run more to sports, talk or stock data, the complimentary oneyear subscription to SiriusXM radio will fill the bill.

If you happen to discount the notion that humans are contributing to Global Warming, the QX80 AWD is one of the worst for greenhouse gasses on the road today, scoring only 3 of 10 on the EPA CO2 scale.

Regardless of that, it is just so comfy, so upscale and such a delight to drive (though not to park) we can overlook its obvious faults. These include a fuel efficiency rating of 14mpg city and 20 on the highway and a penchant for high-octane fuel.

Hey, no machine is perfect.

On the flip side, few vehicles will keep your precious cargo as safe.

First there’s the Backup Collision Warning and Intervention. It warns the driver if another car is approaching as you back out and in extreme conditions will actually apply the brakes to avoid an accident.

Second is a seamless Blind Spot Warning and Intervention system that alerts the driver if a vehicle is next to them when a lane change is initiated and will even nudge you back toward your current lane if you persist in a reckless manner.

Third, a Lane Departure Warning and Intervention system will first sound an alert and if unheeded will apply selected brakes to ease you back into your lane.

If this trend continues, before long a mild electric shock will reboot a sleeping or distracted driver to increase highway safety – before autonomous cars are commonplace.

If traffic slows down while the driver is distracted, the car will slow down, applying the brakes if necessary. Meanwhile the Intelligent Cruise Control allows you to

ignore traffic waves as the system slows and accelerates as conditions permit – the distance kept between the car and preceding vehicles is programmable.

Finally an Intelligent Brake Assist and Forward Collision Warning system will predict a collision and warn the driver in two stages – ultimately applying the brakes to ameliorate an inevitable impact.

The base price of the QX80 AWD is $64,450, which is not bad for a vehicle of this caliber. The model driven is deliverable at $79,095 with several pricey option packages that include the aforementioned safety packages, lighting, rear seat entertainment system, heated second row seats, and a number of other amenities.

Back in the halcyon days of college, a popular saying was, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it!”

The 2014 Infiniti QX80 AWD says, “If you have the means, I can flaunt it for you in style.”

Those who travel in vehicles like this, have good reason to feel blessed.

Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center open house May 17 Horse lovers of all ages are invited to kick off the summer at the Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center on Saturday, May 17, during its third annual open house and adoption day.

Taking place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Harmony Equine Center, located at 5540 E. Highway 86, just west of Franktown, visitors can enjoy guided tours of the facility, refreshments from local food truck vendors and activities for kids, as well as meet horses available for adoption. No RSVP is required and all ages are welcome.

In addition, professional horse trainer Brent Winston will offer trainings and demonstrations throughout the day, including how to trailer-load a horse, and how the Harmony Equine Center trains formerly abused and ne-

glected horses so they are ready for adoption.

Guests can also learn about volunteer opportunities, training events and youth camps taking place throughout the summer at the Harmony Equine Center.

The Harmony Equine Center is a private rehabilitation and adoption facility for horses, ponies, donkeys and mules that have been removed from owners’ care by law enforcement authorities. It is not a sanctuary or a rescue facility, and the center does not accept owner-relinquished horses.

Adoption days are every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment.

To learn more about the Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center or to see horses available for adoption, visit ddfl.org/equine or call 303-751-5772.

OPINION

– DENVER –

United States should stay home KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

It won’t be long now before the Russians have taken at least the Eastern portion of Ukraine to protect their former citizens residing in the area

The U.S. is on the wrong side of the issue, as usual, defending the corrupt regime in Kiev that has bankrupt the once rich and prosperous Soviet State.

Sanctions won’t work against the tough Russian regime that has withstood legions of soldiers from Napoleon to Hitler.

This is a Russian and Ukrainian dispute and the United States should stay out of this entanglement. Eastern European neighbors can be concerned if they also have corrupt governments.

Communism failed in the old Soviet Union and the Russians turned to a free-enterprise system, largely owned and controlled by the old communist leaders, who became wealthy over the breakup

of the U.S.S.R. The new Russia abandoned Cuba and other communist nations like North Korea and set about becoming a capitalistic society developing industry and energy.

In just a few short decades, the Russian economy and citizens have enjoyed a vastly improved standard of living under a free enterprise system.

Cuba and North Korea have languished in a failed system dependent upon corrupt and decadent leadership with people longing to be free of their chains.

China developed their own brand of communism that looks like capitalism with more millionaires emerging in China

than anywhere in the world. The “equalization of wealth” issue may come home to haunt China as the rich become richer and the billion poor hardly have enough to eat. Chinese farmers cannot feed the 1.2 billion of growing city dwellers making China a large purchaser of U.S. foods.

Regardless of American warmongers that include some dominant Republicans like John McCain, we should stay out of the Ukrainian civil war. There is no reason why Russia and the United States cannot co-exist as friends rather than foes.

If the Russian citizens living in Ukraine wish to return to Russian soil and governance, so be it.

Remember the Alamo.

Coach Bredehoft recognized for excellence Continued from Page 1

JFK High School recieves $5,000 from CenturyLink at pep rally for the coach

With the conclusion of the 2013-2014 National Hockey League regular season, the Colorado Avalanche and CenturyLink, Inc. announced the grand prize winner of the CenturyLink Leadership in Coaching award: John F. Kennedy High School cross country and track coach Terry Bredehoft.

As part of Bredehoft’s grand prize, CenturyLink and the Colorado Avalanche hosted an inschool pep rally on Friday with Bernie and the Ram Trucks Avalanche Ice Girls, and CenturyLink presented the high school with $5,000 to its general fund.

The CenturyLink Leadership in Coaching program was established to recognize outstanding Colorado coaches from any public or private school in the state, kindergarten through 12th grade.

Bredehoft was nominated by peers at Kennedy High School for coaching excellence in leadership, motivation and organization.

“I have worked numerous cross country and track events over the past 10 years, and Coach Bredehoft has always been the very first to secure his entries into league meets and hosts League Championships that feature more than 1,200 kids,” wrote award nominator Beth Hulac of Denver Public Schools. “He sets a very high standard for every aspect of his job, and I can honestly say that Coach Bredehoft is the most organized coach in Denver Public Schools.”

The ‘Mystical Milestone’ of Wales Local author’s novel finds magical inspiration in homeland

To purchase a copy of Peter Griffiths’ The Mystical Milestone, visit www. themysticalmilestone. com or see the advertisement in The Villager.

By Peter Jones The great literary traditions of Wales date to the sixth century, surviving the Dark Ages into the Renaissance, eventually birthing the likes of Dylan Thomas.

Add Welsh-born Peter Griffiths to the long history of writers who have found their muse in the style, people and traditions of the Celtic land once called Cymru.

“I decided I needed to create growing up in south Wales.

Griffiths: In our village, there something. So I started writing powere maybe 100 people and we etry in Welsh and in English, which were all poor. But some people took then evolved into a short story,” things seriously and other people said Griffiths, who has lived in the Greenwood Village-Cherry Hills didn’t. My father was a bright guy, but they couldn’t send him to school area for more than 40 years.

Griffiths, 72, was a late bloomer so he went down in the mines when to writing, having taken a circuitous he was 15. Even though he was route to discovering his calling in only there for 12 years, the coal dust Welsh-inspired literature. The math got hold of him and he died when whiz had immigrated with his fam- he was 49.

My parents sacrificed for me and that was what he wanted, industry. to make sure “I was a I didn’t have math major.

We do have national characteristics. We to find his setting and characters.

That book was written to glothat had been one of the hearts of the rify Wales, the language and the people. I set The Mystical Milestone worldwide Industrial Revolution.

His first novel, 2009’s Tongue in probably the most beautiful part Tied, was as rich in Welsh-based of Wales. The book was meant to narrative as it was in the nation’s address two things: the insidious poetic forms.

Griffiths’ new book, The Mystical Milestone, brings its narrative firmly into the 21st century and is set in the western end the picturesque Gower Peninsula. There, a close couple’s relationship is tested in a story that weaves religion, obsession and the power of a seemingly minor incident to take on a life of its own.

The Villager recently asked Griffiths about his writing and the homeland in the United Kingdom that has provided so much of his inspiration.

Villager: us about

Tell

Peter Griffiths

Local author Peter Griffiths’ latest book is a tale of love, loyalty and mysticism in Wales’ pristine Gower Peninsula.

Griffiths: This is a quick read.

Because the plot is strong, my feeling is whoever starts it will finish it. I can’t be sure they’ll like it, but they’ll finish it pretty quickly. There is one turning point in this book and if you accept it and take it on board, the book will be grounded in reality.

Villager: A pivotal moment – a brief and awkward one for the main male character – occurs near the beginning in what the British call a lift, but we call an elevator.

Griffiths: Something happens, which is relatively small. He did something wrong, but not very wrong, which for various reasons will mushroom out of control. They are very close. She was gradually giving him the benefit of the doubt and basically had forgiven him.

But then, of course, she relapsed. I suppose I am making the point that for various reasons, which we can’t foresee, little things do get out of hand.

Villager: The characters are Welsh. Are they based on people you’ve known?

Griffiths: Almost all characters you create are based on your own personality or the personalities of people you know well. Usually when somebody writes a book, the novel reflects their experiences. In this case, it seems to have become the reverse. In the

last year and a half, there have been so many correspondences between what’s happened in my life and the book. It’s almost as if the book is calling the shots.

Villager: At least you know how it ends.

Griffiths: If the correspondences continue, yes (laughs). That’s been kind of eerie.

Villager: The Welsh language is still spoken, correct?

Griffiths: Yes. There are roughly three million people in Wales and 750,000 of those speak Welsh on a regular basis. I was brought up in Welsh as a first language. My grandmother couldn’t speak Welsh and she lived with us, so I was brought up with English as well. Welsh was spoken throughout Great Britain in

500 B.C. That was what was spoken there when the Romans came. English only evolved when the Anglos and Saxons came 400 years later.

Villager: Would you support Wales becoming independent of Great Britain?

Griffiths: I have no idea how an independent Wales would work out, but the notion is appealing.

Wales has been an industrial nation for 200 years so the politics of Wales became radically left. The Labor Party has dominated politics more or less, particularly in South Wales, and the Welsh Nationalist Party, who might be the catalyst to get this thing going, are way left of center. I’m afraid Wales wouldn’t succeed. It might become a basket case pretty quickly.

The Mystical Milestone

P

eter Griffiths’ first novel was Tongue Tied. His new novel, The Mystical Milestone, is set in Gower, near Swansea, in Wales. The plot is unique and is developed around such ingredients as Obsession, Mysticism, Loyalty, and Faith. It has been said that it may be read at three levels: as a page turner, as a psychological drama, or on a spiritual/religious level. For more information, please visit www.themysticalmilestone.com.

Signed copies of The Mystical Milestone may be bought for $13 in the Denver area at all three Tattered Cover Stores, The English Teacup at South Havana and Jewell, and from the author [who will cover the postage] at 303 689 0140 or morawelbyg@yahoo.com.

Your Weekly Horoscope – By Gren Chatworth TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) Your romantic life has come to a slow pace right now.

Remember all excitement is no god, and you should sit back and look at things from afar. You will get a better prospective of things.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Be extremely cautious in everything you do for the next couple of weeks. This is not a prediction of dire gloom, just a warning to be very careful. Be sure and double-check everything!

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) There may be a little social mix-up in your personal life, but don’t worry everything is going very well for Gemini individuals at this time. This is an excellent time to start new ventures.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22) There’s a slight chance that during the next week you’ll make a wrong move due to over-enthusiasm. It would be better to lie low and wait. Otherwise, everything looks good for Libra.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) You may have started something new recently that doesn’t seem to be working out exactly as planned. This is not quite true, as you’ll get another chance very soon, with probably much better results.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) An urge to gamble in a silly fashion should be curbed at all costs. By the end of November, you should be in a much better position, but you must-practice strict mental discipline, which will help you.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) The end of next week should prove most enjoyable for Leo. You have a most beneficial aspect going for you now that will bring gain and prestige if handled properly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Make no major decisions until after the middle of November. While this is a generally good period, romantic interests can run riot and cause you to make a bad mistake.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Your intuition is as sharp as a razor right now. You’re not exactly lucky but you’ll know when to step back and when to move ahead. Be your own judge in business matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Very keen intuition and perception will help you immensely right now. Let others take the lead, and then be your own judge as to whether or not you follow them.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20) Education is in the foreground at this time. If you are already a student, just stick to it. If you are planning to further your education, you will have unlimited opportunities in your life.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) Romance and social endeavors receive a helping hand this week. You can be the life of the party or a brilliant debater so make the most of it. Enjoy.

Auntie Stone Fort Collins’ first female pioneer

By Linda Wommack

Elizabeth Stone was not only a female pioneer of Colorado, but also a powerful force that optimized the pioneer spirit. Widowed twice and left with eight children to raise alone, Elizabeth persevered with determination and the will to succeed. She did so and left her mark on Colorado’s early history and was inducted into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame in 1988.

Elizabeth Hickok was born Sept.

21, 1801, in Hartford, Conn., to David and Adah Hickok. The Hickok family moved to Watertown, N.Y., in 1805, where Elizabeth was reared and received her education. On Feb. 22, 1824, she married Dr. Ezekiel W. Robbins. The Robbins family traveled by covered wagon with two infant children to the frontier town of St. Louis, Mo. There they established a store, Robbins and Sons, during the booming fur-trade era.

Moving to Illinois in 1840, Ezekiel established his medical practice and became a state representative, of which he served two terms. Ezekiel died on July 25, 1852, of cholera during a horrible epidemic that was sweeping across the western half of the country at the time. Elizabeth received a substantial fortune from her husband’s estate. Yet, the grieving widow was faced to raise their eight children alone.

The single mother raised her family, and at the age of 55, she met Lewis Stone, a widower, whose late wife was also named Elizabeth. The two eventually married in 1857. The Stones owned and operated a hotel in Minnesota, known as the “Stone House,” for a few years before deciding to move west. In 1862, the Stone family crossed the Plains of America, following the South Platte River, by covered wagon.

Arriving in Denver, they purchased land that included 12 lots, a hotel and a restaurant. A portion of this land is now the site of Union Station. Shortly after the land purchase, they happened to make the acquaintance of Dr. Timothy Smith, who was the resident military physician at Camp Collins. The good doctor, after learning of the Stones’ hotel experience, invited them to visit the military camp, as their services would be greatly appreciated. Leaving the Denver property in the care of Mr. Stone’s son, the family went on north to the military camp. They liked what they saw and decided to stay.

In 1862, Camp Collins, located along the Cache la Poudre River, consisted of tents and a few cabins. The Rocky Mountain News

described the camp as “nothing more than a parade ground and flagpole with three log huts on one side for officer’s quarters, and on the east and west...log barracks for the men.” With such conditions, the Stones were given permission to build a two-story dwelling to serve as the military mess hall, as well as provide quarters for their home.

One month later, the mess hall was opened to the soldiers.

Elizabeth was the first female at Camp Collins. Described as a kind and gracious woman, the soldiers soon nicknamed her “Auntie” Stone. She immediately established camaraderie with the soldiers and, with her influence, a sense of community was created which carried over to the future founding of the town.

In 1864, the Stones built the first house at the camp. (This cabin was moved twice in later years and now sits at the Fort Collins Pioneer Museum.) Mrs. Stone ran a mess hall for the soldiers and rooming for officers from this log home. Lewis Stone died in 1866 and was buried in the Post Cemetery.

Following the death of her husband, Elizabeth, now a widow for the second time, decided to stay in the area and continue operating the boarding house at Fort Collins. In 1866, her niece, Elizabeth Keays, brought her son to the military post.

Keays started a school in one of the rooms of Auntie Stone’s cabin, thus establishing the first school in Fort

Collins.

Auntie Stone was instrumental in the development of the town of Fort Collins. Due to her strong business acumen, she was the only woman included among the original founders of the town of Fort Collins.

Her influence was strong and her ideas were unique, a quality inherent in the town today.

She became associated with several significant business enterprises.

Shortly after the death of her husband, Auntie Stone entered into a business venture with Henry Clay Peterson. They built the first flourmill in Larimer County, the second in the state, completed in 1868. The operation was very successful despite two fires. In 1871, Auntie Stone founded the first brick kiln in Northern Colorado. The first firing provided enough bricks for the first two brick homes in Fort Collins, one of which was her own.

Ever mindful of the community, she contributed to all church causes, regardless of denomination.

She was a leader in the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.
