TITAN UP! Legend High School was one of the few high schools in Douglas County to enjoy nice weather for its commencement ceremony May 29 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker. The 441 graduates in Legend’s class of 2015 were brimming with energy and excitement. Hugs and high-fives capped off the ceremony, and the grads strode triumphantly off the field to great applause from their loved ones.

Parker OKs incentives for Gander Mountain Agreement will bring jobs, revenue to Parker By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com
A sales-tax incentive package helped lure sporting goods retailer Gander Mountain to Parker. Parker Town Council approved a tax-incentive agreement worth $700,000 during a meeting in May. Here is a breakdown of how the approval will impact the town.
What it means

Sales-tax incentives are authorized by town council to encourage the recruitment of businesses and employers that generate retail sales-tax revenue. The incentives provide employment opportunities and expand and diversify the goods and services to the residents, while “increasing the inflow of revenue from outside of the town,” said Elise Penington, town spokeswoman. Annual sales are estimated to be $12 million annually and the new store will employ about 60 full-time individuals when fully operational.
Why do it
Tax incentives are used to sweeten the deal; Gander Mountain had been considering other locations to build in the south metro area. “In this environment, which is highly competitive, it’s important for us to be able to target certain kinds of enterprises,” said John Hall, economic development director for the Town of Parker. “But incentives alone are not going to cause a business to locate somewhere that otherwise doesn’t work for them.” There are other factors involved: it “has to be the right market for them, with good location and demographics. We are that right market,” Hall said.
How it works
Gander Mountain filed an application to participate in the Town of Parker Tax and Fee Gander continues on Page 9
Parker Days: A sensational summer soiree Annual festival now in its 38th year By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Swirling, twirling carnival rides. Goopy, gloppy science experiments. Dance-inducing tunes. Food on a stick. That’s merely a fraction of the fun at the Parker Days Festival, the beloved annual summer kickoff that’s now in its 38th year. There is something different every year, but it’s the tried-and-true tradition that keeps the people coming back. Last year’s fete brought approximately 150,000 people to downtown Parker over 3 1/2 days, and this year’s event — June 11-14 — could be even bigger. According to early sales figures, people from more than 40 cities are coming to Parker for a concert by 1980s heartthrob Rick Springfield on June 11. The Thursday night prior to Parker Days is nor-
mally reserved for a sneak preview of the amusement rides, but the Parker Chamber of Commerce, the organization that puts the festival together, wanted to attract more attention at the beginning of the festivities in the hopes that people will come back to enjoy the rest of the weekend. “It’s a great tool for pulling people into the area,” said Sara Crowe, director of special projects for the chamber. While Parker Days is a massive regional draw, it’s the people who have been in town for a while who keep the festival thriving. Kathryn France, a mother of three who has lived in Parker for her entire life, is one of those devoted fans. She has missed the festival once. Ever. And she remembers exactly why that happened: When she was a teenager, her dad accidently scheduled the family vacation for the second weekend in June. It won’t happen again, if France can help it. The date is clearly marked on her calendar each year. “I get the entire weekend off of work and we don’t Festival continues on Page 9

Cashier and college student, mother of four About me
Each week, we bring you a glimpse into the life of a person in our community.
I was a stay-at-home mom before I started working at Kneader’s Bakery & Café last September. I just finished my first year of school at Arapahoe Community College and got straight A’s. I’m studying health information technology and would like to go into the medical billing and coding field. I had to figure out a schedule to fit it all in: family, work and school. It was a little crazy at first, but you get used to it. You just learn to juggle everything, and then it’s rewarding at the end because you feel successful. When the weather is nice, I go hiking with the kids and to the pool. Because the weather has been rainy recently, we stayed in and watched movies and TV. I like shows like “The Duggars” and “The Little Couple,” and my daughter and I watch the cooking channel together. We join forces to bake cakes — any kind of cake.
The best part of my job The funnest part is meeting and talking with people. I have gotten to know some of them on a first-name basis. I am a cashier, but I do a little bit of everything. My kids love it at Kneader’s. It’s like our second home. My daughter especially loves the peanut butter cookies and the muffins.
I’m looking forward to . . . I’m getting ready to attend my daughter’s graduation from elementary school. In a few weeks, I’m going back to southern California, where I’m from, to celebrate my nephew’s birthday, hang out with my sisters and go to Ventura Beach. I absolutely miss it. I just love the ocean — the calming aspect of it and the smell. This is my first time going back home in three years.

The crowning of an achievement HOMETOWN IMPRESSIONS Moments in time from your community
A glimpse at graduation day By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A field of green gradually turns to a sea of royal blue. Loved ones are still filing in and filling the bleachers. They carry with them seat cushions, umbrellas, signs and an overwhelming sense of pride. Legend High School’s graduation day has arrived. Those facing east soon find themselves baking in the sun May 29 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker, and they use their programs as fans. Their counterparts are grateful for the shade — for a short time, anyway. “At least it’s not raining,” many say. A microphone clicks on loudly. The sound of young voices, tinged with both a sense of accomplishment and bright hopes for the future, fills the airy reaches above the stadium and beneath an azure Colorado sky. Songs are sung, words of encouragement are spoken, light-hearted jokes are cracked. Then a list of names, a few mispronounced or stumbled upon. Sporadic uproars rise. An air horn blares, followed by a murmur of laughter. Photographers focus, then move on to the next. Arms rise in triumph. The blue gowns flap in the breeze. It’s a moment in time in which everyone strives to remember the details. A few are careful not to let the tears show; others simply let them flow. And before long, it’s all over. Four years of build-up to two exceedingly blissful hours, when their hard work is honored. Families wave to grab their grad’s attention. The freshly-minted adults wave back while unleashing relieved smiles that could only occur at

were three hours earlier. A lone balloon floats toward a cluster of clouds building to the west.

Pride of Lions With her Bible in hand, Lutheran High School graduate Georgi Mager walks toward the stage during the school’s commencement ceremony May 22.
Smiles sprung up everywhere when Lutheran High School’s class of 2015 celebrated its commencement May 22. Like many Lutheran Lions, Georgi Mager had her Bible in hand as she filed into the school’s gymnasium to the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance.” The smiles were especially bright when Principal David Ness handed each graduate his or her diploma. “The class of 2015 is unique in that they were the first class to attend all four years at the consolidated Lutheran High School. We are grateful for these pioneers and the seniors who joined us along the way during these four years to make the class complete,” Ness said before the ceremony. PHOTOS BY STEPH STEINMARK
High school grads leave with 1,061 college credits Colorado Early Colleges launches its first Douglas County senior class By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado Early Colleges Douglas County graduated its first class during a May 29 ceremony at Parker’s Crossroads Community Church. The 31 graduating students earned a collective 1,061 credits toward college. The charter high school that focuses on earning college credits opened in August 2014, and it is the first of its kind in Douglas County, although it is the third Colorado Early Colleges campus. The credits recent graduates earned “will save them over $500,000 in future tuition dollars,” said John Etzell, head of the school. “We think that’s a good way to spend the taxpayer dollar.” Founder Keith King, a former state senator and Colorado Springs City Council member, was moved to start Colorado Early Colleges by what he saw as a lack of post-secondary education options. The public, tuition-free schools in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Parker offer college-bound students and those who might not otherwise have considered college the opportunity to earn associate degrees and concurrent enrollment credits. “You students are graduating from a high school with many of you having an associate’s degree,” said King, who spoke at the graduation. “(You) have proven it can be accomplished. Every student, regardless of their background or skill, can achieve mastery.” Salutatorian Aaron Murphy graduated
The first graduating class from Colorado Early Colleges Douglas County waits in the hall for the May 29 graduation ceremony at Crossroads Community Church to begin. Photos by Jane Reuter with 68 college credits. “I’ve heard the class starting out as freshmen might even be able to do bachelor’s degrees,” Murphy said in his speech. “To be able to do that in high school without the enormous cost is quite frankly amazing.”
Honors graduate Anna Neuheardt, who also spoke at the ceremony, graduated with 73 credits and a Daniels Fund scholarship. She urged fellow graduates to figure out what they want, then look for and consider all open doors. “When you cannot find a door or the
door you find does not open, break out a chainsaw and make your own door,” she said. The Parker campus of Colorado Early Colleges is southeast of Lincoln Avenue and Parker Road. About 350 students are enrolled there.

Cheaper gas comes with a price Hopes for economic boost haven’t panned out as expected By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press
If there was one thing most economists agreed on at the start of the year, it was this: Plunging oil prices would boost the U.S. economy. It hasn’t worked out that way. The economy is thought to have shrunk in the January-March quarter and may barely grow for the first half of 2015 — thanks in part to sharp cuts in energy drilling. And despite their savings at the gas pump, consumers have slowed rather than increased their spending. At $2.74 a gallon, the average price of gas nationwide is nearly $1 lower than it was a year ago. In January, the average briefly reached $2.03, the lowest in five years. Cheaper oil and gas had been expected to turbocharge spending and drive growth, more than making up for any economic damage caused by cutbacks in the U.S. oil patch. Consider what Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said in December: Lower gas prices, Yellen declared, are “certainly good for families. ... It’s like a tax cut that boosts their spending power.” Other experts were more direct: “Lower oil prices are an unambiguous plus for the U.S. economy,” Chris Lafakis, an economist at
Moody’s Analytics, wrote in January. So what did they get wrong? It turns out that the economic effects of lower energy prices have evolved since the Great Recession. Corporate spending on drill rigs, steel piping for wells and railcars to transport oil has become an increasingly vital driver of economic growth. So when oil prices fall and energy companies retrench, the economy suffers. The drilling boom that erupted in 2008 has boosted U.S. oil production nearly 75 percent and natural gas 30 percent and made the United States the world’s largest combined producer of oil and natural gas. Energy production contributes about 2 percent to economic output, up from less than 1 percent in 2000. Yet in recent months, industry activity has dropped more sharply than predicted. “So far, it is fair to say that we have been hurt more than helped,” Lafakis acknowledges now.
Cutbacks ripple outward
During their policy meeting in April, Fed officials grappled with the changing impact of cheaper oil, according to minutes of the meeting released in late May. Several policymakers said the economic drag from drilling cutbacks could be “larger and longer-lasting than previously anticipated.” They also worried that the weakness in consumer spending, despite cheaper gas, suggested that Americans might generally be more reluctant to spend than assumed. Some economists are reconsidering assumptions they use to forecast the economy.

“The benefit of lower oil prices is less pronounced than, say, 10 years ago,” says Jim Burkhard, a researcher at IHS Energy. “You’re taking a big engine of economic activity and cutting it sharply.” Lafakis and many others still expect consumers to spend much of their savings from cheaper gas, powering faster growth in the second half of the year. Economists say it can take up to six months for people to spend unexpected windfalls. But any gains won’t likely be enough to counter the anemic start to the year. Moody’s Analytics expects the economy to expand just 2.6 percent this year, down from an earlier forecast of 3.3 percent. (The downgrade is also due in part to a stronger U.S. dollar, which has depressed exports.) For families, the drop in gas prices was an unexpected gift. The government has estimated that cheaper gas will save a typical household $675 this year. Yet still scarred by the recession, many remain reluctant to spend freely. Analysts also note that Americans are less likely to spend extra money if they think the gain is temporary. “Consumers have been very reluctant to spend (savings from cheaper gas), because they view that as fleeting,” says Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. com. Consumer spending rose at an annual rate of just 1.9 percent in the first quarter, compared with the previous quarter’s 4.4 percent. Much of the cash saved at the gas pump was put away: The U.S. savings rate reached its highest point in more than two years. Walmart and Target have confirmed that their sales aren’t getting much lift from cheaper gas. For Vince Cimilluca, a 28-year-old video editor in Edison, New Jersey, lower gas prices haven’t changed his finances much. He’s struggling to pay $800 a month in student debt while saving for a home. He’s seen gas prices gyrate and doesn’t trust they’ll stay low. “The extra money that I have, I save,” Cimilluca says. For the economy, the technological breakthroughs that allowed the energy industry to power growth now help explain the slowdown. As the 2008-09 recession ended, companies used hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,
to unlock underground reserves. Oil, at $100 a barrel or more, made such efforts profitable. Jim Burkhard of IHS Energy estimates that U.S. and Canadian energy companies increased investment in production from $98 billion in 2005 to $363 billion last year. U.S. oil and gas jobs nearly doubled to 537,000. In addition, jobs were added at steel mills, at sand pits to process sand for fracking and at restaurants and service companies in areas with newfound oil and gas fields, like North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
Sudden reversal
But the industry’s breakneck growth was thrown into reverse by a 50 percent drop in oil prices from June through January. CEO Doug Suttles of Encana Corp., a Canadian-based driller that operates in the United States, says the pullback in drilling “happened more rapidly than I’ve seen in 32 years.” As recently as December, Suttles says, experts had forecast that the number of rigs would drop by a third in the spring from a year earlier. Instead, it’s plunged by more than half, according to Baker Hughes, an oilfield services firm. That’s led companies like U.S. Steel to temporarily close factories that make the steel pipe used in oil wells. Texas-based Superior Silica Sands, which makes fracking sand, has canceled the building of a factory and has slashed capital spending plans. Investment in wells and production facilities collapsed nearly 50 percent last quarter, the government says, and cut the quarter’s annual economic growth by three-quarters of a percentage point. Goldman Sachs estimates that three jobs will be lost in other industries for every position shed by energy companies as laid-off workers spend less. That trend is painfully evident in Texas, which lost 25,400 jobs in March, the most since 2009. Many were in mining, which includes oil and gas. But most of the losses were indirect: As laid-off workers cut spending, retailers cut 6,600 jobs. Cheaper gas has hardly been a comfort to Orlando Garza, 34, who lives near Corpus Christi, Texas, and was laid off from his job in February as a well site leader. “I’ve had to cut back tremendously,” Garza says. “I tell my kids, ‘I don’t have a job, so I can’t buy it.’”
Commissioners show support for energy development in state Staff report Douglas County’s board of commissioners has reaffirmed its support for “continued energy development that is responsible” in Colorado. In a resolution May 26, commissioners said they recognize the significance oil and natural gas development play in Colorado’s economy. “While we don’t have energy development in Douglas County, we have a lot of people who work for businesses dependent on it and who work in the energy industry and live in our communities, so we understand its importance to us,” Douglas Coun-
ty Commissioner Jill Repella said. At present, there are no requests for permits to pursue development in Douglas County, Repella said. The board of commissioners also reaffirmed its support for Colorado’s existing regulations and oversight for oil and natural gas development. “We are thrilled to see Douglas County get out in front with such a common-sense approach to what is a major statewide issue,” said Amy Sherman, chairwoman of the Douglas County Energy Coalition. “Hopefully, this sets an example for other local governments around Colorado to do the same.”

Robot rovers take over downtown
Trevor Rost and Abhiram Killamsetty were among the participants who celebrated a good showing in the first Parker Rover Rally in the Mainstreet Center parking lot in downtown Parker May 16. During a closest-to-the-pin competition, Rost’s vehicle rolled up to the target and touched it without knocking a ball off. It stopped within an inch of the target — considered a hole-in-one — from a distance of 80 feet. Killamsetty was just inches away. The day was capped off by the long-jump ramp launch, which sent remote-control cars flying through the air. Event creator Brian Dickman said the inaugural event was successful enough to start planning another Rover Rally for next year.

Reading helps you stay at top of game So the other day I saw a statistic that caught my attention: “Data shows that the population between the ages of 19 and 30 have only read one book in the past 12 months, and that book was Facebook.” Now obviously this is not true — it was just someone trying to make a point and having some fun with our addiction to social media. However, we all know there is a little truth in humor sometimes, and I could also sense the presenter’s sadness over what he perceived as a decline in the reading of books. With such immediate access to information, it is so easy to find links to articles, magazines, blogs and other short-form content that we can see how some may feel like books are getting the short end of our attention span. For some of us, time compression can be an issue. Many of us have such a hard time keeping up with our job, multiple jobs, kids, spouses, chores and our workouts that we must seek bite-sized information to scratch our reading itch. So when we couple timemanagement issues with a need for instant gratification and shorter attention spans, it is easy to buy into the position that the reading of books has fallen way down on the priority list. There is a distinction. No one is saying that people aren’t reading anymore; the truth is, we are creating and consuming information at an unbelievable and faster rate than at any time in history. It is just that the perception for some people is that even with e-readers,
iPads, tablets and smart phones, we have forgotten just how important it is, and how awesome it is, to simply read a book as we get caught up in social media, games and other apps. The summer is upon us, and I know for many of you this is the time where you get Michael Norton a lot of your reading in, specifically books. And WINNING although I enjoyed the WORDS presenter’s comedic and satirical approach to people not reading as many books as they should, I would say that many of us still enjoy a good book, especially on the beach or on vacation somewhere. For me, I always have a book in my hand, whether I am on an airplane for a business trip, in the mountains, or on a beach anywhere. And I typically alternate between the types of books I read, which include faith-based, business, history, biography and even fiction from time to time. And even though I do believe most of us still enjoy reading a good book and include it as a part of our overall personal or professional development or simply because we have a love of reading, I have seen a shift away from reading while I am traveling. It seems that lately I see more people playing games
on their devices or they are consumed with working while on the airplane as opposed to reading. I used to love when I would look around the airplane and see the majority of people with their heads down and reading a book. As a matter of fact this is where I used to get great ideas and recommendations for the next books I would be reading. What are you reading these days? Are you reading mostly online articles, blogs and posts? Are you more of a newspaper or magazine person? Are you someone who prefers and enjoys audio books? Or maybe you are someone who just can’t get enough information and takes advantage of books as well as all of the other media listed above. Zig Ziglar was a voracious reader, and probably had a lot to do with my own reading habits and inspiration. Zig used to say it this way, “Every day I read the newspaper and the Bible, this way I know what both sides are up to.” I would love to hear all about your reading habits and any suggestions and recommendations for books that I might read this summer. And if you would like my reading list, please send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we include reading in any way shape or form, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Production/Marketing Manager SCOTT ANDREWS
It wasn’t love at first sight. Or second, third, fourth or fifth. Maybe 10th. She says that I frowned at her, the first time I saw her. I say I squinted. There is a big difference. I was just about to give an oil painting demonstration. She looked like someone who was on her way to a State Farm seminar. That’s why I squinted. I was very suspicious. Of course, I have improved this narrative several times in the years since we met. Now I get a fever when she pulls up in the driveway. I have never been around someone I have this much in common with, except myself. It’s uncanny. Even though we have a startling number of opinions and preferences in common, about things like comedy clubs, Wal-Mart and Pearl Bailey, lucky for her she is not a replica in disposition. She is kind and patient and tolerant. A good friend once said that he was glad there is one of me, “But I am glad there are not two of you.” I have to admit that I would have a difficult time being around me, if I had a choice. As it is, that’s me in the mirror every day. I prefer my dog to most people, and generally feel like I need to be visited by three ghosts, and be unscrooged. But this is not a love story. It’s a reminder,

QUIET DESPERATION
I guess, to myself and to anyone who might be in the same boat, to be honest about yourself. And to be willing to change. That’s one of the hardest things to do, and generally it cannot be done without help. Another very hard thing to do is to ask for help. When was the last time you asked for help? Other than
with opening a pickle jar? Henry David Thoreau, who gave this column its “Quiet Desperation” title, said, “Things do not change: We change.” I think I need to make a few more. My father quit smoking overnight. He smoked all the way through World War II, and for years and years after that. At the time I didn’t think quitting was a big deal. Everyone smoked back then. Maybe you are old enough to remember Arnold Palmer carefully placing his cigarette on the green before putting in the television commercials promoting his favorite brand (L&M’s).
The warnings and consequences of smoking weren’t all over the place when my father quit. If I had known, I would have congratulated him right then. That took years. The changes I think I need to make won’t be noticed, probably, by anyone else but me — and that will be enough. I am an old dog, and I know it. But my life in a virtual Thoreau cabin gives me plenty of time to contemplate, so maybe I can do this. Changing some things is easier than others. In baseball, there is a “change-up pitch.” The pitcher simply throws with the same release as a fastball, but actually throws with less velocity, hoping to confuse the hitter. Some politicians have changed their positions from one day to the next. In Woody Allen’s little-known film “Zelig,” Allen takes on the characteristics of anyone he is around. If he is around black jazz musicians, he becomes a black jazz musician. If he is around baseball players or physicians, he comes a baseball player or a physician. It happens immediately I won’t be able to make the changes I am talking about just by hanging around with people I admire and respect. Like the girlfriend I mentioned. Or maybe I will.

Senior agencies face growth in population Healthy, active and mentally sound retirement — what are you going to do? How are our communities planning and preparing to meet our lifestyle needs as we age? Our county’s leaders are working to find solutions for many challenges, including housing and transportation. Others are looking for ways to reach out in the community in order to provide the elements of living and aging well. Jodie McCann, the senior outreach coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, takes it one step further when she describes “more adults choosing to participate in this journey called aging, understanding that they can actually design an experience of their choosing and reawaken their hopes and dreams for this unique time in their lives.” And though entities like this have been around for a long time as social groups or as destinations, they are not your grandmother’s senior center anymore. In fact, in Douglas County, only the Parker Senior Center has a brick and mortar place to call
its own. The Castle Rock Senior Center and the Highlands Ranch Senior Club have space in their local recreation centers. Highlands Ranch Senior Outreach has an office in the Highlands Ranch Metro District building and the Lone Naioma Walberg Tree Living and Aging Well group has no LIVING place to plug in their AND AGING cell phones. Creativity being the name of the WELL game, each of these organizations works with their communities to find venues for programming and events. Common themes resound from all of these groups: the pursuit and Walberg continues on Page 9

plan anything. We go to Parker Days,” said France, who looks forward to dizzying carnival rides and cheering on the bands from the front row. She was delighted to see that one of her favorites, the country duo LoCash, will be headlining on June 13. Kids, however, might take the nod when it comes to getting the most out of Parker Days. Whether they try running on water in an oversized hamster ball, getting close enough to touch a goat at the petting zoo or finally mustering the courage to ride The Zipper, the weekend is usually a highlight of their summer. This year, organizers are bringing in a new apparatus for fresh thrills: the Stunt Jump, which involves a stomachin-throat freefall into a gigantic cushion, just like a Hollywood stunt person. A handful of new vendors will cook up something different, like Lazy H Grill, which will roast a pig on a spit, and Rory’s Catering, which will serve the notorious tourist delicacy Rocky Mountain Oysters. Other vendors will have curi-

ous creations: Sriracha bacon-wrapped onion rings, brisket and sweet potato waffles, 12-flavor funnel cakes, deepfried TV dinners, and shredded Colorado rabbit tamales with guajillo sauce and cheddar, topped with green prickly pear cactus chili, Crowe said. For parents with thrill-seeking kids, the MegaPass is a good bet. The $60 pass allows for unlimited rides for the whole weekend. For France, whose children are ages 8 through 13, it’s a less-expensive solution and enables her to enjoy the festival while the kids play. France plans to hang out at the Pikes Peak Stage, at Mainstreet and Pikes Peak Drive, where the beer tent is close and the backyard games are free. But at one point, she will indulge her youthful spirit and seize the opportunity to ride the Yo-Yo, which twirls riders around on swings suspended by chains. “You can see for miles when you’re up on the swings,” France says. “You have the kids in front of you and they have their arms out, and you are just soaring over Parker.” For more information or tickets, go to www.parkerdaysfestival.com.
STREET CLOSURES Mainstreet and Pikes Peak Drive will be closed through late Sunday night and organizers are encouraging motorists to find alternate routes. Streets will be closed off starting at 2 p.m. June 11 to make room for street performers

PARKING
FESTIVAL HOURS
The parking lot at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center is free, as is RTD’s Park-n-Ride lot at South Parker Road and Longs Way. Although they are not rented by festival organizers, patrons often use the Safeway parking lot on the southwest corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet and the lots at the Crossroads Shopping Center, where the Parker Library is located. From there, those with children can walk through Kieffer’s Crossing, a tunnel that helps pedestrians avoid crossing seven lanes of traffic on South Parker Road. The tunnel is between Taco Bell/Long John Silver’s and Colorado State Bank and Trust.
The Parker Days Festival is June 11-14 in downtown Parker. Carnival rides and vendors booths will be set up in O’Brien Park and surrounding parking lots. Multiple stages will host music and comedy acts, among others. The festival will be open 5 to 10 p.m. June 11, with Rick Springfield kicking things off with a concert. The remaining hours of operation are 5 p.m. to midnight Friday (June 12), 9 a.m. to midnight on Saturday (June 13) and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday (June 14).
plications are approved, Gander Mountain plans to invest $4.2 million to build a 57,000-square-foot building on six acres immediately north of Costco in the Crown Point development. The proposal represents a “significant investment in, and commitment to, the Town of Parker,” according to the agreement. The company plans to open its doors in spring 2016.
What Gander Mountain does Gander Mountain Company Inc. is a Minnesota-based outdoor recreation products company with a network of more than 150 stores in 26 states. It is the nation’s largest retail network of outdoor specialty stores for shooting sports, hunting, fishing, camping, marine, apparel, footwear and outdoor lifestyle.
would actually go a long way in solving the first two — but where and how does that happen? Although each organization receives funding from a variety of sources, including in-kind support, local government, grants, fundraising, memberships, sponsorships and meeting fees, all are in a continuous cycle of securing funding to make ends meet and grow services. A Castle Rock Senior Center spokesperson concisely addressed the issues of volunteers and funding in her statement: “Your help — through donations, or though volunteer time — will continue to make our area senior centers the kind of place that YOU will want to be a part of when your day comes.” To play the devil’s advocate, if by 2030 the predicted one in four residents will be over 60, is the best solution higher tax allocations for senior services? With longer life spans, three generations of one family could feasibly be called seniors. That is a lot of challenges for groups and centers that work to provide all the elements for a rich and productive seniorhood. Naioma Walberg is a member of the Douglas County Senior Council.

Local Girl Scouts earn Gold Award By Christy Steadman
lum herself, then trained other Girl Scouts volunteers to present it at recruitment events and leadership workshops.
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Gold Award is the highest honor Girl Scouts can earn. And they must truly earn it, said Girl Scouts spokeswoman AnneMarie Harper. “It asks girls to look at themselves and find out what their interests are,” Harper said. Then, “how can they use that interest to do something good for the community?” Gold Award projects must have some sort of sustainability, and it generally takes a Girl Scout about two years to complete her project, Harper said. The Gold Award is an individual effort, not a troop effort, Harper said. It is not required for Girl Scouts, and not every Girl Scout pursues it.

What did she do? Brandes presented a series of workshops across the state that fostered self-worth and self-esteem in teenage girls. The workshops helped provide the teens with the tools to face insecurities with optimism. She designed the curricu-
She said it: “Leaders aren’t strong because they’re impervious, leaders are strong because they wear their insecurities like armor, acknowledging that it is not our faults that weaken us, but a failure to accept them and grow.” Madison Daniel, Highlands Ranch Gold Award project: Tell Me Your Story What did she do? Daniel documented the stories of older generations who have lived through important events in history. She first hosted an event at her church for Daniel people to share their stories, then posted the stories on a website that linked to the Douglas County and Denver Public Libraries’ websites. Daniel provided students easy access to living history. She said it: “The storytellers loved to know that someone was actually interested in what they had personally lived through and that they could help out the younger generations in our community.”
What did she do? Keith created a sustainable pet food pantry. The development of her business plan included coordinating with nonprofit organizations, working with volunteers, running a blog, and creating advertising campaigns and informational brochures. The project included pet food being handed out in Denver’s Civic Center park and packing pet food in lunches provided to the homeless. The pet food pantry collected more than 600 pounds of pet food. She said it: “I have a love for most animals, especially dogs, and I desired to help them. I also wanted to help fight financial hardship, an issue facing many families … I wanted to address this issue by providing pet food for the community, so its citizens can focus on feeding themselves and putting their money towards other important necessities.” Lesleigh Stabo, Highlands Ranch Gold Award project: Students Helping Other Students What did she do? Stabo created a club at her high school to help aid students when transferring to a new school.

She said it: “The issue of being new to a strange place and the concept of transitioning can also go beyond moving to a new school. By discovering more effective ways to make this process smoother, we can reduce the stressful nature of the situation.”

Local pastors help volunteers from Casa Unida Foundation host a vacation Bible school for children of a mountain village in Nicaragua. The VBS includes a number of fun events and is used as a means of sharing the Christian faith with the children and their parents. Photos by Tom Munds
Using faith to lend a helping hand Churches, organizations reach out beyond walls By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Volunteers stock shelves in an Englewood church to distribute food to about 150 families a week. A Christian organization in Lakewood brings together people from throughout the metro area to build classrooms and dig wells in rural Nicaraguan villages. These are just two of the countless faithbased programs in the Denver metro area that spread the Gospel while helping those in need. “I feel we are blessed to be able to help the people of rural villages, and they are so appreciative of all we do,” said former Englewood business owner Bill Caldwell, who has traveled to Nicaragua. “The smiles on the faces of the adults and children of the villages more than compensate me for anything I do while I am there.” The Denver metro area counts more than 1,000 churches, most of which provide outreach programs that help those across the street, across the country or around the world. Kevin Ross, director of Missions and Outreach at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch, said outreach is important to the church and to the faith. “Outreach is all about sharing the love of Christ,” he said. “The method of outreach depends on who we are serving.” He said Cherry Hills recently organized 3,000 volunteers for the Love in Action event that worked on 127 projects, including doing repairs on the homes of seniors and helping with neighborhood cleanup in inner-city areas. “We also reach out across the world. We will have 15 or 20 teams go on trips this summer to a number of locations,” he said. “Again, the focus is sharing the love of Christ and helping the people of the area. In Mexico, that can be sharing the love and helping the poorest of the poor, while in central Europe that can be making disciples in the most atheistic part of the world.”
Fighting hunger locally Mosaic Church in Englewood, an evangelical Protestant church, focuses on the people in its neighborhood. Once a week, about 30 volunteers stock and then open the doors of its food bank. Along with distributing food, volunteers also give away Bibles and let clients know they will pray with them if asked. “They pick what they will use,” said Englewood Mayor Randy Penn, who volunteers at the food bank. “They can choose from bread items, snacks, fruits, vegetables and meat. A typical individual will take $50 to $75 in grocer-
Everyone’s hands grasp a shovel or the handles of a wheelbarrow on this work-and-witness trip to Nicaragua organized by the Casa Unida Foundation. The all-volunteer foundation enlists people to pay their way to travel to Nicaragua to help mountain villagers by building schools and churches, and by sharing their faith. ies home from here.” Some volunteers originally came to the bank to pick up food. “A friend told me about the food bank, and I came here as a client about eight years ago,” Amber Douglas said. “Things got a little better for me, so I volunteer to help out here at the food bank any way I can.”
Taking faith abroad Casa Unida Foundation, an all-volunteer Christian organization based in Lakewood, organizes what many denominations call workand-witness projects in Nicaragua. “We work with pastors who identify the projects that are needed to help the residents of rural villages in the mountains of northern Nicaragua,” said Bob Moore, foundation president and a former Littleton businessman. “We reach out to people who live in villages with no running water and no electricity. Those who do get jobs make about $2 a day, so they could never raise the money to build classrooms, community buildings, drill a well or put in the pipes to bring in safe, treated water from the nearby city. So we organize a trip, raise the funds for materials, and go down and lend a hand.” Volunteers also share their faith by working with local pastors to host vacation Bible school sessions for hundreds of children. Casa Unida Foundation has organized trips to Nicaragua once or twice a year since 2003.
It chose Nicaragua because it is the secondpoorest country in the western hemisphere, Moore said. The average education level in Nicaragua is fifth grade. Volunteers pay their own expenses. A typical two-week trip costs $1,800, which pays for airfare, lodging and food, and the rest of the money is used for building materials. From the capital of Managua, volunteers then take a three-hour bus ride north to the city of Somoto.
Digging in to work Once in Somoto, the group piles into the back of a large truck for the trip to the work site. “All construction is brick, and the work is hard,” Caldwell said. “These are villages with no electricity and no running water. The water is hauled from the well, and the cement is mixed in batches on the ground.” Despite the hard physical work, Caldwell said it is difficult to explain the joy and satisfaction he feels being part of a work-and-witness trip. Douglas County resident John Benton, who also joined the foundation for one of the trips to Nicaragua, feels the same way. “I had no idea what to expect, and I quickly found out it is hard work, which was a change for me since I work in an office,” he said. “But it was such a great trip. I loved the people, I loved sharing my faith and … it was such a wonderful, heart-warming and uplifting experience.”
Amber Douglas separates items for the clients coming to Holy Cow Food Bank at the Mosaic Church in Englewood on May 21. Douglas first came to the bank to pick up food. Now she is a volunteer helping others.

Union Station eateries gain global cred When Travel + Leisure magazine, a national consumer publication, recently posted its picks for the nine best train station restaurants, two Denver eateries were included in that prestigious short list, which included entries from New York, Hong Kong, Paris, London and Tokyo. T+L lavished the love on Stoic & Genuine and Mercantile Dining & Provision in Denver’s revamped Union Station. Here’s what the magazine said about the local dining establishments: “When Denver’s Union Station reopened last year after extensive renovations, it brought with it a clutch of new — and worthy — restaurants. Stoic & Genuine, a seafood temple from Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski, commanded attention even before it opened. Between its raw bar, ‘seafood tower of power,’ and `surf in turf’ dish of big-eye tuna wrapped in New York strip steak, Stoic & Genuine won strong reviews and was even named one of 5280 magazine’s top 10 new Denver restaurants. “In a stroke of fortune, Denver Union Station’s remodel project actually yielded two highly regarded restaurant projects. Mercantile Dining & Provision, run by chef Alex Seidel, is one part casual restaurant and one part food market selling charcuterie, cheese, jam and more. The menu here offers a variety of pasta dishes such as squid ink bucatini, Spanish octopus a la plancha, a crispy half chicken, and family dinners like a bone-in 36-ounce rib-eye or roasted lamb shoulder, each served with a variety of sides. Mercantile, too, was named one of 5280 magazine’s best new restaurants in 2015.” While the recognition of this level of culinary prowess causes pride in Denver
diners, it makes local restaurant pundit John Imbergamo downright delighted. “It seems that every time a national list of restaurants hits the web, Denver’s culinary community searches in vain for a representative, whether it’s Best Ice Penny Parker Cream, Best New MILE HIGH Restaurant or Hot New Chef,” ImbergaLIFE mo said. “In 25 years of working with Denver restaurants, this might be the first time that Denver scored two slots on an international top restaurant list. Are we finally winning a few converts to the Mile High culinary scene?” For the rest of the story, go to www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/all-aboard-forthe-coolest-train-station-restaurants.
Upstairs Circus opening in Landmark
Upstairs Circus, a social bar where people can create DIY art and design projects, will open its second metro-area location at The Landmark development between Jing and Masters Gallery in Greenwood Village. The first Denver location opened in LoDo in November 2013. The Landmark branch is expected to open in September. “The Landmark is the social center of the DTC area and we’re thrilled to welcome Upstairs Circus’ unique and fun concept to the community,” said Amy Cara, the partner at East West Partners overseeing The Land-
mark development. “Upstairs Circus has a loyal crowd of followers in downtown Denver and we think the social art experience will be a huge success at The Landmark.” While Upstairs Circus space at The Landmark will have a similar vibe to its LoDo sister, founders Matt and Kelly Johannsen will create new programming based on the neighborhood’s individual needs. Hours of operation are planned to be 2:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays; 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Upstairs Circus offers a full bar and a limited food menu.

Celebrity in Aurora
My former Denver Post colleague Kevin Coleman had an accidental close encounter of the celebrity kind recently at Starbucks on Parker Road and Iliff in Aurora. He said, “OK, I am sitting here drinking some tea while listening to the baseball game and these two ladies sit next to me. One of them looks like Jane Curtin. The other lady sees me and politely asks what I am listening to. I say the Rockies and the other woman asks how Tulo is playing? I couldn’t resist and tell her she looks like Jane Curtin. Her friend says, ‘That’s because she is Jane Curtin. She is my sister-in-law.’ I tell her I am a fan, we chat for a few minutes and then go back to what we were doing. Nice lady. And, for the record, she really is a big Tulo fan.”
Overheard
Eavesdropping on Facebook: “So, I’m 6-foot-2. My daughter just came to me in the kitchen wearing her three-inch pumps, and was pretty darn close to being eye to eye with her old man. She said, ‘Dad, I like the weather up here.’ BTW, she’s 14.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area.

Fracking & U.S. Energy Policy
Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is a controversial method of extracting previously unavailable oil and gas reserves from the ground by fracturing rock by injecting pressurized fluids. Proponents claim that it opens up vast amounts of natural gas within the U.S. and could play a key role in the United States gaining energy independence within the not too distant future. Opponents claim that the chemicals used in fracking represent a significant environmental risk to ground water and other elements of the environment. Join Active Minds from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, as we explore the risks and benefits of fracking and put it into the broader context of U.S. Energy Policy.

Elizabeth Stampede Queen Nadia Postek presents the colors May 30 at Casey Jones Park.
Community rodeo quite a ride Event held a week before the Stampede By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media Local cowboys and cowgirls gathered at Casey Jones Park Stampede Grounds in Elizabeth for the annual Elizabeth Stam-
pede Community Rodeo on May 30. All events were open to anyone willing to pay the entry fee and climb on the back of PRCA or PBR stock for bull and saddle bronco riding. The open competitions also included barrel racing, team roping and a hide race. A free concert featuring the music of Carlos Washington & the Steel Horse Band followed the competitive events and presentations to the winners. Team ropers took
home purses of up to $234. The original community rodeo began in 1937 and was organized by the Elizabeth Commercial Association. The annual event ultimately evolved into the Elizabeth Stampede. In 1988, the Stampede became a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event, which eventually filled the weekend with professional rodeo competitions and did not allow time for the amateur rodeo.
In order to continue the tradition of amateur competition, a separate community rodeo was created in the 1990s and is held annually the weekend leading up to the Elizabeth Stampede. The event is free to the public. The Elizabeth Stampede opens June 5 with the PRCA XTreme Bulls Rodeo and closes on June 7 with rodeo performances and the coronation of the 2016 Stampede Royalty.
DiGiosio on deck as Chaparral baseball coach Will continue to lead Wolverines softball team By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Alan DiGiosio, the girls softball coach at Chaparral, was named to succeed Tony Persichina as the school’s new head baseball coach. DiGiosio has been a member of the
Wolverines baseball staff for the past nine seasons, serving as the pitching coach. He will coach both the Wolverines softball and baseball teams. “I made it pretty well known that was something I hoped could happen,” said DiGiosio, who will start his sixth season next fall as Chaparral softball coach. “I feel I can do both. The administration trusts that I can do it. I said from day one that I wanted both positions. It will keep me busy, that’s for sure.” DiGiosio was head baseball coach at Elizabeth for two seasons between 2005
and 2006, and he was the Highlands Ranch baseball coach for three seasons between 2001 and 2004. He is also a former assistant baseball coach at Columbine, Wheat Ridge and his alma mater, Pomona. Last fall his Chaparral girls softball team advanced to the state tournament, and he has compiled a 46-40 record over four seasons as the softball head coach. DiGiosio takes over a baseball team that went 5-14 in 2015, one season after advancing to the Class 5A final eight in 2014. “We beat the state champions, Rock Canyon, in one of our five wins last year,”
said DiGiosio. “We’ve got seven guys coming back off last year’s team, and all of them contributed pretty significantly. We got two of our three primary starting pitchers coming back. “We feel like it was kind of one of those fluke years. Every program goes through that,” he added. “With what we have back and the coaches we have back, we’ll be able to right the ship with some hard work, and kind of refocus on what Chaparral baseball is all about.”
Swimmer comes back in amazing style Creek senior shines at state after recovering from surgery By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek senior Sam Coffman is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year, but he could also be the Comeback Swimmer of the Year if there was such an award. Coffman didn’t swim last season after undergoing rotator cuff surgery, but he garnered three first-place medals and came close to collecting a fourth at the 2015 state swimming championships May 16 at the Air Force Academy. “It was very grueling watching my teammates last year at state compete, and all I could do was be on the sidelines and cheer them on,” said Coffman. “I did everything I possibly could to contribute to
the team.” Teammates were cheering for Coffman this season. He won the 200-yard freestyle state championship in 1:39.19, and got his second first-place finish in the 100yard freestyle with a winning time of 45.64. He swam the anchor leg on the Bruins’ 400-yard freestyle relay team with JJ Strain, John Cremer and Hunter SOUTH METRO Fuqua. They were ATHLETES state champs with a OF THE YEAR time of 3:07.21. Coffman, who has signed to join the University of Missouri swimming team next fall, was also the part of the 200-yard freestyle relay team that was edged out of first place by one hundredth of a second. “Clutch is the best way to describe
Sam,” said Creek coach Chris Loftis, who related that Coffman swam in one meet last season in order to get a state qualifying time so he could join the team at the 2014 state meet. “It was pretty amazing, basically swimming on one arm,” continued Loftis. “What he was able to do this year speaks to what he is as an athlete, but more importantly as a young man.” Coffman’s grit helped him get ready for this season. He wanted to be at full strength after finishing fourth in the 100 and 200 freestyle individual events as a sophomore. He also swam on the 200- and 400-yard relay teams at the state meet two years ago. “Rehab after the surgery was annoying,” said Coffman. “No one wants to do the exercises and keep up with the work. The doctors were astonished on how fast I recovered after the surgery. I had full range of motion a week out and had a lot of my strength back by three weeks. I was very determined. I did all the work like
they said. “This year my training was more grueling and was the hardest I’ve ever done.” Still, Coffman had qualms heading into the state meet. “I had doubts here and there,” he admitted. “I knew if I just believed in myself and knew if I dropped the attitude from my head I could accomplish my goals. “Going into the kind of meet like state, I was defiCoffman nitely nervous. Anyone could take that kind of a meet and for some reason just swim out of their mind. I knew if I just kept my nerves in check and with all my teammates cheering me on, I could do great things. “I was injured at the time, but I still wanted to be a part of the Creek team so I swam anyway,” he said. “I was given one chance and got a couple state times.”

Zhong shows heightened focus in tennis Mountain Vista player had great sophomore year By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Casey Zhong paid more attention to what was happening on the court this season than what was happening off the court. Zhong, Mountain Vista’s standout sophomore, did well in her freshman season but admitted it was a learning experience. “When I was a freshman, I didn’t understand all the outside hype and challenges that came with high school tennis with all the cheering,” said Zhong. “This year I feel I challenged that a lot better, focused on myself when I was on the court and nothing that happened outside.” Zhong lost just two matches this season, finished third in the Class 5A state tournament at No. 1 singles and was named the Colorado

matches,” said Zhong. “The one with the 4A girl I learned — because I had not played her before — to never underestimate an opponent. In the 5A match against my friend I learned a lot about what I need to improve on. “I had a really good season, definitely better than last year, which is good because you always want to improve. I went undefeated in the regular season and took third at state, so that was pretty good success.” Zhong feels she was a better tennis player in the 2015 high school season. As a freshman she was 17-2, losing in the regular season to eventual state champion Tate Schroder of Arapahoe and to Bri Smith of Highlands Ranch in the state tournament quarterfinals. “I improved on the techniques of being an aggressive baseliner, and then one of my goals last year was to be more consistent,” explained Mountain Vista’s Casey Zhong was named the Zhong. “I improved on that this year. My serve Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls was a big improvement too.” Tennis Player of the Year. File photo

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 1, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries self-esteem level is high, as is your impatience to see more action come your way in the workplace. Good news, Lamb: It could start to happen sooner than you think. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Changing things now could upset a lot of people. But if you feel you’re acting because you believe it’s the right thing to do, others will understand and even come to support you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A change of mind might not necessarily be a change of heart. You still want to go ahead with your plans, but you might see a better way to make them happen. So go for it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An old business dispute could re-emerge and possibly affect upcoming negotiations. Consider opening up the situation to include suggestions from others on both sides of the issue. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some Leos and Leonas might find it somewhat difficult to get their ideas accepted or even considered. But that’s only for a while. Things will soon return to the way you like them. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The pace seems to be slowing down from the hectic on-the-job run you recently enjoyed. But be assured that you’re still in the race to pick up new workplace-related goodies. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Seasonal changes create opportunities for busy Librans. However, be sure to balance your workload with your personal life so that you don’t overdo it on one end or the other. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former critic could make a surprise turnaround and become a supporter. But if your Scorpion sense suspects a questionable motive, who are the rest of us to doubt it? SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Data on a new project seems less than dependable. But it might turn out to be just the opposite. Consult with someone who knows how you might best be able to check it out. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Capricorneans face many decisions this week, with the Sea Goat’s kids rating high on the consideration scale, especially regarding vacations and upcoming school matters. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Showing that you care is what Aquarians do so well. It’s your very special skill. And this week, you’ll have several chances to show off that gift for a very special person. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 21) That streak of Piscean wariness should serve you well this week should you be among those who come up against a slippery character offering a fishy deal with nothing to back it up. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an artist’s sense of how to help others see, as you do, the beautiful things about the world. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
