Helicopter that battles wildfires must find new home Cost to move company could be $1 million, owner says BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jeff Armstrong knows he has less than 90 days to pick up his firefightinghelicopter business, Rampart Helicopter Services, and move it from its location near Castle Rock. Armstrong’s dilemma, he said, is he doesn’t know where to go. The Douglas County man has run Rampart from unincorporated land north of Crystal Valley Ranch since 2005 and has a long-standing relationship contracting with Douglas County to provide air support during fires and wildland emergencies. But a 2016 citizen complaint revealed his business was violating the property’s zoning. His property is zoned agricultural, which does not permit operating a commercial helicopter. It sparked an emotional discussion about the company’s future in Douglas County. After years of fighting fires in the community, could Rampart stay, and if not, could it continue working in the county? Armstrong applied to rezone, hoping to bring Rampart into compliance, and agreed to certain mitigation efforts like planting trees to shield his property from neighbors’ views and limiting the number of flights to 75 a year. But county commissioners denied the application July 24 after twice continuing the agenda item, which first arose in May. Commissioner Diane Holbert voted against the motion to deny in a 2-1 vote. In its decision, the county was sticking to its rules: A zoning violation was brought to commissioners’ attention and in two of their opinions, Armstrong couldn’t meet the requirements to rezone. That’s partially because Armstrong’s neighborhood has grown more residential and a commercial zoning could change its character, Commissioners Roger Partridge and Lora Thomas said.
Commissioners also heard complaints from Armstrong’s nearest neighbors, Ken and Laurel Maupin, who have lived in their home next door since 1999. Their complaints ranged from noise to dust to traffic on Armstrong’s property. Holbert said the board’s decision should not be based on the emotional testimony from either the Maupins or Armstrong. “It is about the particular zoning request that is being presented to us,” Holbert said. Armstrong believes the board has more leniency in interpreting zoning regulations than it used in deliberating the issue, but he’s respecting the decision. He estimated the cost of relocating could be near $1 million — to purchase a commercial property, transport hazmat materials like the helicopter’s fuel, move equipment and construct a hanger if one does not exist on the new site. “I’ve got to move stuff that you don’t just move overnight,” he said. Armstrong hopes to relocate “anywhere in Douglas County that will take me” and doesn’t have plans to sever ties working with the county, he said. He’s looked near Franktown and said he is in talks with the county about county-owned land near Moore Road. Still, he has concerns about that location as well, predicting development will continue through the county and the Moore Road location will eventually shift residential. “It’s just a matter of time before somebody complains about the helicopter,” he said, “and we do this all over again.” If Armstrong doesn’t find a location in Douglas County he’s considering Elbert County but also locations near Canyon City, Salida and Rifle. He’s not comfortable asking his pilot to fly over the Rockies, and any location of that sort could mean the end of his time working in Douglas County, he said. Speaking from inside his empty hangar on Aug. 15 — his pilot, Brian Toomey, and the Rampart helicopter were responding to a fire near Aspen — Armstrong said he’s grateful for community members who rallied around him as news of the decision spread. Days after the board’s decision,

Rampart Helicopter Services has been operating out of land in unincorporated Douglas County since 2005. a Change.org petition racked up thousands of signatures calling on the county board to let Armstrong stay at his current location. By the morning of Aug. 15 approximately 3,900 people had signed, and the number climbed to over 4,100 the following morning. The petition was started by Mindy Hernandez, a resident of Cobblestone Ranch in Castle Rock, who said she thinks it’s unfair to make Armstrong move.
“I would like them to figure out how to zone Jeff ’s property for commercial use,” she said, “because that’s what the issue is right now.” She plans to bring her petition before the board of commissioners at its next meeting on Aug. 28 and keep it going, depending on the board’s response. “It’s going to stay open,” she said, “until the voice of the community is heard.”

MY NAME IS
KYLE CHRISTENSEN
Kyle Christensen will become the CSU Extension assistant director for Douglas County in September.
New assistant director for CSU Extension in Douglas County About me I am originally from Gering, Neb. I’ve been fortunate, though, as I’ve been able to live in some unique places. I joined the Peace Corps when I finished college, and I lived in the Republic of Moldova for two years while I taught English. I also lived in Bratislava, Slovakia for several years working at an international school, teaching English to K-12 students. Before moving to Colorado in 2010, I lived in New York City where I worked and studied at New York University and lived in Brooklyn. Right now, I’m in Fort Collins and I am the coordinator of the Family Leadership Training Institute (FLTI) of Colorado at Colorado State University Extension. FLTI is Colorado’s statewide leadership development and civic education program. Throughout my career, I have committed myself to programming that focuses on positive youth development, leadership and civic engagement, and health and socioeconomic equity. I have developed and implemented programs that meet community needs for more than 20 years, and I’m dedicated to helping people realize their poten-

tial, find their voice, and take action on important community programs and issues. I have a 9-month-old black goldendoodle named Vancy. We’ve already explored Phillip S. Miller Park and Vancy really enjoyed looking for rabbits while we biked around. County’s new Extension assistant director I am very much looking forward to my journey to beautiful Douglas County in the coming months. I will be the assistant director working with the director of Arapahoe/Douglas Counties, Tim Aston and the great Extension staff. I’m really looking forward to learning about the great work
happening in Douglas County, particularly the 4-H and Master Gardener programs. They are strong community-based programs collaborating with many dedicated parents, volunteers, and community leaders. I recently spent over two days at the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo, and I spoke with many Extension partners. I already see many opportunities to explore additional programs, and I look forward to collaborating with the community to turn ideas into action. Before I transition to Castle Rock, I’ll finish work in my current role as the coordinator of FLTI as we work to increase and strengthen this leadership program’s capacity statewide.
My passion I am passionate about Extension and the collaborative work each county in Colorado does with Colorado State University. I believe very strongly in the land-grant university’s mission of providing research-based information and programming to citizens. From 4-H to gardening and horticulture to food preservation to leadership development, Extension’s trusted programming is an important resource for our great state of Colorado. My hobbies I spend a lot of time playing my guitar and singing. I really enjoy playing and singing folk and country music. My aunt on the accordion, cousin on vocals and guitar, and me on vocals and guitar recently played a three-hour set at our family reunion at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. I am also an avid gardener and love learning about native Colorado and droughttolerant plants. I spend a lot of time in the mountains camping, backpacking, and exploring. I also bake a mean chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. My advice What we say and how we act and behave matters. Treat people with kindness and respect, and always, always listen to understand, rather than listen to react.

Special-education survey going to parents, school employees BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County School District will soon launch an electronic survey for parents and district staff to provide feedback on the district’s special education services. The survey is not in response to any issues or concerns, said Nancy Ingalls, DCSD personalized learning officer. It’s an effort to continue improving the school district, she said. “One of the benefits is to get feedback for our community on ways to continue serving our students the best we can,” Ingalls said. “We are always looking for information that we can use to improve the quality of services that we provide for our students and families.” At the beginning of the year, school board president David Ray introduced a resolution for Erin Kane, the former interim superintendent, to implement a Special Education Task Force made up of community members and district staff. Ray’s goal was not to undermine the work that special education staff had already been doing, but to improve upon existing services, he said at a Jan. 16 board meeting. “Certainly it’s been my experience as a principal that some of the hardestworking people are those that work with children with special needs,” Ray said. “This task force is really an opportunity to bring the community and staff together for specific things to work on.” The school board approved the resolution and named board member Christina Ciancio-Shor as a liaison. She volunteered for the role, Ray said. “As an educator and former principal, she has extensive background in the area of education,” he said. “It was a really good match because of her expertise.” Ciancio-Shor facilitated the task force
with the help of Ingalls, Kane and former deputy superintendent Steve Cook. The task force met four times between January and June. A mix of parents, teachers and community members attended the meetings, which were open to the public. Some but not all participants have students with special needs in the district. The meetings initiated conversation about the district’s current special education services. As of Dec. 1, 2017, the district had 7,300 students ages 3 to 21 on Individual Education Programs, according to district staff. At the beginning of the summer, the school district signed a contract with Hanover Research for $40,500. The research firm has assisted the Special Education Task Force in designing a survey to gauge views of the district’s special education services. “They are able to design a survey that will be statistically valid and researchbased,” Ingalls said of the research firm. “Also, they have the platform to administer the survey in a way that responses are confidential and anonymous.” In the upcoming weeks, DCSD will send an email to staff and parents with a link to the survey, which will be open from Aug. 23 to Sept. 13. Ray encourages all parents to participate in the survey, noting the importance of hearing from families who went through the special education process and did not qualify. The survey navigates participants in different directions based on their experience, he Ray said. The Special Education Task Force will review feedback at a meeting in the future. A timeline has not been established, according to Ingalls. The task force plans on presenting the school board with the strengths and weaknesses of the district’s special education services, along with specific recommendations.
Town hall slated on I-25 Gap project STAFF REPORT
Residents who were unable to attend recent open houses can learn about the Interstate 25 South Gap project by participating in a telephone town hall Sept. 6. With construction on the project scheduled to begin this fall, the Colorado Department of Transportation will answer questions from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. To participate, call 1-877-229-8493 and enter passcode 117409. The I-25 South Gap project encompasses the 18-mile stretch of I-25 called “The Gap,” from south of Castle Rock to Monument. It is the only four-lane section of I-25 connecting Colorado’s two largest cities, Denver and Colorado Springs. Population growth has driven an increase in congestion, crashes and delays in this corridor, according to a news release. Following more than a year of study,
improvements will soon be underway. Roadwork will begin in early September on the northern portion of the project near Castle Rock. By summer 2019, most of the 18-mile corridor will be experiencing active construction. For the most part, drivers can expect two lanes to remain open in both directions of I-25 during the day. At night, drivers can expect lane and/or ramp closures.

New farming community developing in Franktown The 365-acre project will offer residents sustainable living without the heavy lifting BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On the front porch of a farmhouse in Franktown, Paige McLaughlin paused to let the silence make her point for her. “It doesn’t get much better than this,” she said finally. The haze from nearby wildfires shielded the picturesque view of the mountains. From memory, McLaughlin pointed out exactly where Pikes Peak should be. Acres of farmland stretch to the western horizon and as far as the eye can see in each direction, north to south, along Flintwood Road. The 106-year-old farmhouse has since been converted into a sales office for the Fox Hill community development. The 365 acres of farmland and open space just south of Parker used to be mostly hay farms in the late 1980s. Now, Fox Hill is being developed into a community of 92 $1 million homes, about 1 to 4 acres each. The tranquility of the land, in the age of constant connection through social media, could be enough to attract potential homebuyers, McLaughlin said. But people are beginning to pack their bags and move to Fox Hill for another reason: a farming lifestyle without much of the work behind it. Fox Hill opened April 22, Earth Day, of this year with a different kind of community in mind. Instead of a typical community surrounding parks and public pools, Fox Hill will offer its residents the option to join in community agriculture. “It’s the culture of agriculture, that’s what it really is,” McLaughlin said. “It’s about the lifestyle that it provides — the healthy way of living but also for the heart, soul and mind.” A community orchard, vineyard, hopfield, berry patch and an aquaponic greenhouse will eventually
Doug and Paige McLaughlin and their children live in the Fox Hill community. Doug’s father, Jack, bought the land in the 1980s, when it was mostly hay farms. They have turned the development into a new agrarian community revolving around a sustainable farm, orchard, hopfield and berry patches. COURTESY PHOTO be developed on five acres near the original farmhouse. Residents will have the option to participate in several community events like egg harvesting, picking berries and learning to brew from locally grown hops. The optional farm program will be for an additional price yet to be determined. Residents who optin will also receive a box of fresh, seasonal produce delivered to their houses weekly. Residents can help farm as much as they like, but are not required to as part of the program. The farming will be left up to a hired hand. “When you think about that, it’s similar to the idea of living in a maintained golf course community,” said Elizabeth Craft, owner of Growing Up Green, the landscape consulting firm designing the farm. “You are paying for the beauty and landscape of the community already, and some of them may be golfers themselves, but we would never ever require them to go mow those greens.” McLaughlin and her husband, Doug,
are partnering with Elizabeth and Kory Craft, who are consultants of Growing Up Green to develop Fox Hill into a shared farming community. Elizabeth and Kory Craft came up with the idea after seeing a similar project they consulted on in Austin, Texas, succeed. “I think because you have the guidance of having professionals there developing it, you can learn as much or as little as you like,” Elizabeth Craft said. “You can reap the benefits of the produce, or you can be part of the production.” This Franktown community is part of a growing trend of similar communities centered around community gardens or agriculture, which are popping up all around the country, according to Becca Jablonski, a food systems economist at Colorado State University. Communities around Colorado, even in more urban areas have sprouted. It’s an attractive way for people to live healthier lifestyles, even if they don’t have a farming background.
“There’s a lot of these more innovative models of community agriculture that have emerged over the past decade,” Jablonski said. “This is just another kind of hybrid model for this.” A community of hundreds of acres along the I-76 corridor in Adams County is being developed into several one-to-10-acre farms for sustainable living. People in cities like Detroit and Chicago are making use of vacant lots by farming sustainably. Jablonski said that while these community gardens and farms are not very profitable, they offer a larger social and educational impact to its residents. “For people being able to participate, they’re more likely to support Colorado Proud products,” Jablonski said. “There’s something around the educational and health benefits that really resonates with people. “As we have 80 percent of our population that live in urban areas,” Jablonski said, “they want some connection to the land.”
Town gathers public input on Plum Creek Parkway project BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Castle Rock has plans to widen Plum Creek Parkway east of Gilbert Street from two to four lanes, among a variety of other possible improvements, but before most of those budget requests come before council, town staff is gauging public opinion on the proposals. Staff held an open house on Aug. 15 to gather community feedback on ideas it formed based on input from past open houses. The potential roadway changes include some safety improvements. The town is considering a guardrail
and lessening the road’s curve where cars are known to run off Plum Creek Parkway and into residential backyards near Valley Drive and Oak Crest Circle. Carl Armijo, a Castle Rock engineering manager, said based on community feedback, cars most likely leave the road because of speed. “In their opinion,” he said of nearby residents, “the traveling public is just going too fast.” A roundabout is being considered at Eaton Street and Plum Creek Parkway for similar reasons — to calm traffic and slow people down. Nearby residents say speeding is a problem there too, and the roundabout’s a price tag
of $750,000 would be worth its benefits. “There’s been a lot of accidents happening right there,” said area resident Ron Kingery. “(The roundabout) is going to slow traffic.” There are additional ideas to mitigate traffic noise on Plum Creek Parkway. Staff members plan to replace concrete pavement with asphalt, which isn’t laid out in jointed sections like concrete. Director of Public Works Bob Goebel said asphalt provides a smoother ride, adding the widening project is “pressed as much by growth as it is the need to replace pavement.” The town is also considering building a $550,000, wooden, 8-foot-tall
sound fence from Gilbert to Eaton Street to replace roughly 6-foot-tall private fences already there. If community feedback is positive, staff will present the items to council for approval. Residents can find more information and provide feedback online at CRgov.com. The project could begin in 2019 and be phased over several years. Phase one has a $4.6 million construction budget and includes widening the road to Eaton plus adding a roundabout at Gilbert Street. The Eaton Street roundabout and all other improvements would be additional costs and need council approval.

Owner of Lakewood bakery sues state A 2017 request has again put Masterpiece Cakeshop at the center of the religious freedom debate BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jack Phillips was catapulted into the national spotlight when he refused to make a cake for a gay couple, because of his religious beliefs. The Lakewood baker won a highly publicized, but narrowly worded United States Supreme Court case decision in June, but his days in court are not over. Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, has sued Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and state civil rights officials, alleging that the state has “been on a crusade to crush (Phillips) because its officials despise what he believes and how he practices his faith,” according to a complaint filed Aug. 14. His latest case stems from June 2017 when Autumn Scardina, an attorney from Arvada, called the cake shop and asked them to bake a cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside. The cake was meant to symbolize her transition from male to female, and Scardina said the employee who she was speaking to hung up the phone when she said what the cake meant.
Phillips denied the request, because of what the cake would have symbolized, and he felt it would have gone against his religious beliefs, according to a statement from the Alliance Defending Freedom, the law firm defending Phillips. The day Scardina made the call to Masterpiece Cakeshop was the same day that the Supreme Court agreed to take up the Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. the Colorado Civil Rights Commission case regarding Phillips refusing to bake the cake for the gay couple. The state notified Phillips that it found probable cause that Colorado law requires his business to bake the cake for Scardina, only weeks after the Supreme Court ruled in his favor for refusing to do business with a gay couple in 2012. Scardina officially filed the complaint in July of 2017 to the Colorado Division of Civil Rights. “I believe that other people who request birthday cakes get to select the color and theme of the cake. I believe that I was not allowed to order a birthday cake because I requested that its color and theme celebrate my transition from male to female,” Scardina said in the complaint. The complaint indicates that her upcoming birthday would mark the seventh anniversary of her transition. Phillips’ court case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The lawsuit is asking Colorado officials to stop punishing Phillips for declining to create cake messages that violate his faith. Phillips’ lawyers
Jack Phillips works on decorating a cake in his bakery in Lakewood. JOSEPH RIOS
will wait for the defendants to respond to the lawsuit, and their response can take up to one month. “(The day Scardina called) was a busy, kind of crazy day. We tried to explain that we’d do any other custom work, or sell any other cakes we had in the shop. That was a cake, because of the message, that we couldn’t create,” Phillips said. The lawsuit names a number of Colorado officials, including Hickenlooper, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, Colorado Civil Rights Commission members Jessica Pocock, Miguel “Michael” Rene Elias, Anthony Aragon, Carol Fabrizio, Charles Garcia, Rita Lewis and Colorado Civil Rights Division Aubrey Elenis. Hickenlooper told the media that he wasn’t involved in the commission’s ruling regarding Phillips and Scardina, but he does expect the case to go to the Supreme Court. “The first ruling from the Supreme
Court did not address the (religious freedom matter), Hickenlooper said. “That’s what I think the U.S. Supreme Court will have to address with time.” Daniel Ramos, executive director of One Colorado, an advocacy organization for LGBTQ people and their families in Colorado, said the ADF has tried to launch similar lawsuits in the past that targeted laws and civil rights agencies. “All people — including LGBTQ people — deserve to be served equally in public spaces, and no religious belief gives anyone the right to pick and choose whom they serve and what laws they want to follow,” Ramos said. ADF Senior Counsel Jim Campbell said it’s clear that state officials are targeting Phillips, because they “despise his religious beliefs and practices.” “Jack shouldn’t have to fear government hostility when he opens his shop for business each day. We’re asking the court to put a stop to that,” Campbell said.

County commissioner honored with Code of the West award STAFF REPORT
For his longtime commitment to the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo and to the business community at large, Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge was honored with the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation’s first “Code of the West” award. The award was given for the first time in honor of Partridge on the eve of the fair’s 100th celebration and will be given annually to a Douglas County community leader who exemplifies “the values at the heart of the Cowboy way,” according to a news release. “To be recognized by the business community in this way and at this time for the values that I most admire most in others is truly humbling,” Partridge said to those gathered, according to
the release. “I give thanks to all those who came before me and encouraged in me that this is the best approach to living one’s life.” As captured in the book “Cowboy Ethics — What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West,” author Jim Owen translated the unwritten Code of the West into 10 principles to live by. The Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership website lists the 10 principles: Live each day with courage. Take pride in your work. Always finish what you start. Do what has to be done. Be tough, but fair. When you make a promise, keep it. Ride for the brand. Talk less and say more. Remember that some things aren’t for sale. Know where to draw the line.
Surrounded by family, Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge accepts the “Code of the West” award from the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation. The award was given for the first time and will be given annually to a Douglas County community leader who exemplifies “the values at the heart of the Cowboy way.” COURTESY PHOTO

E-470 board to eliminate vehicle registration fee STAFF REPORT
The final steps are wrapping up to eliminate the vehicle registration fee for Colorado motorists living in counties where the fees have been imposed. The E-470 Board of Directors unanimously voted earlier this year to remove the fee and the authority has worked with the relevant municipalities, including Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, to prepare for the milestone, according to a recent news release. The fee removal is supported by all voting members of the E-470 Board: Heidi Williams (City of Thornton), Chaz Tedesco (Adams County), Steve Douglas (Commerce City), Bill Holen
(Arapahoe County), John Diak (Town of Parker), Françoise Bergan (City of Aurora), Roger Partridge (Douglas County) and Ken Kreutzer (City of Brighton). The bonds pledged by the fee were originally approved by voters in 1988 to build and operate E-470 and were set to be retired in 2026. The E-470 board refinanced the bonds in 2001 and reduced the final maturity with a scheduled payoff Sept. 1, 2018, coinciding with the elimination of the fee, the release said. “It was my honor to support this extremely important policy decision to remove the fee once the bonds were paid,” Douglas County Commissioner Partridge said in the news release.

VOICES Wishing it were earlier in the late-night world
am drifting into obscurity and irrelevance, and there is no known cure, except to lie about it, and to pretend I know what is going on. I used to be current. I used to know these people, these “personalities,” but that’s all changed, and I blame David Letterman. When he retired, I retired. I began to watch late night talk shows in 1954, when Steve Allen originated “The Tonight Show.” Admittedly, I rarely watched it because I was rarely allowed to watch it. I liked the format. It seemed live and unscripted, although I learned that it was never live, and that some conversations were prearranged. Late-night talk shows introduced me
to just about everyone I now appreciate and quote and refer to, from 1960 until QUIET packed up DESPERATION Letterman on May 20, 2015. I haven’t watched late night programming since then, and it shows. Who are these people? Who is Ariana Grande? Or is that a large coffee? Craig Marshall As a barometer Smith of my irrelevance, I take a look now and then at the upcoming guest lists for Kimmel, Fallon,
Colbert, Meyers and Corden. (Who is Corden?) Week by week, year by year, I recognize fewer and fewer of the guests. I never see Orson Bean’s name anymore. Eventually, I will be referring to personalities my young readership has never heard of, and when that happens, I might as well grow a Civil War general’s beard and join Letterman on the sideline. I guess I could subscribe to “People,” but I don’t have the stomach. Who is Meghan Markle? The poor girl. Every headline I read about her is frightful. Carson had the newest acts, but he also brought out relics like The Mills
Brothers, and at first I was disinterested. Until I heard them sing, and did a little research. Sure, “Up a Lazy River” in 1965 didn’t do much for me, but when they were at their peak in the 1930s, they were incredible. They were “Four Boys and a Guitar,” but seemed like a small orchestra because they made musical instrument sounds with their voices. Bob and Ray? Professor Irwin Corey? I met them on “The Tonight Show,” along with a character named Brother Theodore, who was parts Boris Karloff and Salvador Dali. SEE SMITH, P27

H LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Letter writer off base In his letter last week, Smith Young made several blatently incorrect statements. I’d like to address one in particular: “$53,080 is a good salary with full benefits for part-time work, given summer, spring, fall and Christmas breaks.” I am dumbfounded that this kind of thinking still exists. It is tragically delusional, and unfortunately all too common. Forbes reports that the median annual household income in Douglas County is $99,198. Just let that sink in as you review the first paragraph. Many teachers take second jobs to keep their bills paid. I dare you to ask any teacher how much “vacation” time they take. They can’t afford vacations. I dare you to keep up with the average teacher. Meetings before and after school, parent-teacher conferences, lesson planning, required paperwork, preparation for

“standardized tests,” grant writing for supplies or a project the school can’t afford, IEP discussions and extra work outside of class with students with special needs, coaching or sponsoring after-school clubs or sports teams…oh yes, and teaching young people for seven hours. Average work day: 15 hours. Teaching isn’t a Job. It’s a calling. These professionals know that they hold the future in their hands. It is beyond comprehension that there are still people who feel that teachers “have it easy.” Before you write a painfully uninformed letter, do yourself and your community a favor: Volunteer in a school. For more than an hour. Try it for a week. Or a month. I dare you. Heidi Thomas Castle Rock
ave you ever had a one-sided conversation? You know what I mean, the kind of conversation that is more of a monologue than a dialogue, where one of the parties is talking “at” the other party instead of engaging in a discussion. These never feel good, do they? Perhaps if we are the person delivering the monologue and we feel like we had to get something off our chest, we just might take a little satisfaction in thinking we were heard. There are two primary problems with this WINNING approach. The first is that even WORDS though we initially feel good about what we said, the reality is that in most cases the feeling is only temporary and we may even have some regrets. The second problem, and maybe the more important problem is that we actually believe that we were heard, when in fact the majority of the time the person Michael Norton that we were talking “at” had shut down and stopped listening within the first few sentences that we uttered. Now we probably had a very compelling reason to be talking “at” someone. In our own minds we were completely justified, and they certainly had it coming. After all, this has been going on too long and we were now forced to say something and take action.

We shouldn’t have to pay for convenience
e all pay extra for conveniences. It’s one of the benefits of our modern world; from dry cleaning – online shopping – to the food we eat, convenience is easily bought and paid for. Want more convenience? Pull out more cash… write a bigger check… and walk right up to the ‘get more, pay more’ check-out line. But is paying for convenience an appropriate relationship for us to have with our government? And how do we, as taxpayers, view our highway systems? A “convenience” or a required benefit – even a “utility” – of our state government? Highways are unquestionably a service (paid for through our taxes) we expect our government to provide (and upkeep) so we can all get to where we are going, faster. For
many Colorado residents, it’s the only tangible day-to-day interaction we have with our state government. But it’s also the part of our daily lives that many of us feel is most broken. GUEST Few stretches of roadway in ColoCOLUMN rado are as badly broken as the South I-25 “Gap” running between Castle Rock and Monument. Although 26 percent of all employment in Colorado is contained within Arapahoe, Douglas George Teal and El Paso counties, the primary roadway between them has not been improved in over 50 years. And while I do commend the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for recog-
nizing how badly behind the times the “Gap” is – and prioritizing its expansion – the planned improvements have always included tolled express lanes. Never once did CDOT seriously consider using the money from tolling to pay for the needed expansion; that funding was always going to come from other sources: a higher gas tax, additional money from the Legislature, municipal governments and federal grants. And for the last eight years, our state’s transportation policy, as decided by the Colorado State Transportation Commission, has mandated that all expansions to Colorado’s existing highway network include tolled express lanes when an increase in capacity (one or more new lanes) is required. Read that again: mandated to add an express toll lane...
Though there is evidence tolled express lanes can improve the speed and reliability for drivers on a given roadway, at what point do we ask ourselves the very fundamental question: Is it appropriate for government to charge us additionally for a “convenience” we’ve already paid for? More to the point – would we, as taxpayers, be willing to “pay for convenience” when it comes to our law enforcement (“press 1 on your dial pad to have this 911 call expedited for a charge of 99 cents”) or fire protection (“We can send one firetruck or two to extinguish your fire – that’ll be an additional $200.”)? Isn’t the upkeep of our state’s roads just as fundamental? SEE TEAL, P27
OBITUARIES Martha “Marty” Jane Dellinger
DELLINGER
Born September 5, 1927 – Transitioned to Heaven July 21, 2018
Marty was born Martha Jane Ells of German parents who both emigrated from Russia in the late 1800’s and met in the melon fields of Sugar City Colorado. Marty was born in a farmhouse and delivered by her father and a neighbor lady. She was one of 10 births, of which only 7 lived to adulthood. Many years later she and her siblings thought it would be a good idea to have birth certificates created after the fact. Farming life was hard work with many sacrifices. Being born at the beginning of the Great Depression, she often told the story of only having beans to eat; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyone worked on the farm, old and young alike. It was a time and place of kerosene lanterns for light, wood and coal burning stoves for cooking and heating and shared bath water for the entire family with tin wash basins instead of bath tubs. This is where Marty learned and taught her family the value of always working hard, a great sense of humor, family love and celebrating the good things in life. YOUNG
After leaving the farm during W WII, she started nursing school but later started working as a secretary for insurance companies. She met Bill Dellinger and quickly fell in love with her 6’ 4” Marine and wed on August 19, 1947. They settled in Aurora Colorado and raised 3 children: Buck, Dede and Denver. For a brief time, from 1967 till 1974, lived in Dallas Texas where they quickly found many lifelong friends. After moving back to Colorado they lived in Perry Park for 19 years while she worked at Safeway in Castle Rock and retired in 1993. Marty and Bill then moved to Wolhurst Village in Littleton Colorado where they lived for 21 years. Marty eventually moved to Brookside Inn in Castle Rock where she was a favorite resident. Her bright eyes, great smile and “giggles” brightened up everyone’s day as it did for every-

one her entire life. In addition to falling in love with Bill, Marty also fell in love with the lifestyle he introduced her to of the outdoors and fishing in the wilderness. Every summer weekend, and long vacations from Dallas, would find them in the Northern Colorado Mountains along with their children and grandchildren and many friends all enjoying the experience and each other. Marty loved to cook on the open camp fire and would serve outstanding full course meals, often bragging about being able to handle hot skillets with her bare hands, an ability she developed on the coal burning cook stoves from her farm life. Marty was always busy with her gardening, women’s club, camping trips, attending family gatherings and attending Foothills Bible Church COLEMAN
where she was baptized in 2009. After retirement from Safeway she continued to work part time well into her 80”s instructing water aerobics and taking care of “little old ladies” although she never considered herself one. In 2007 she was had her wish fulfilled for her 80th birthday when her children took her floating down the Gunnison River and later camping and cooking around the campfire in the high country. Marty is preceded in death by her husband Bill (August 1998) and her son Denver (April 2018). She is survived by her brother Benny Ells, sister Ester Morse, son Buck (Connie), daughter Dede (Leonard) Shackell, grandchildren Jennifer Dellinger, MR Dellinger, Amanda Dellinger, Tara Shackell and Ryan Smith. The family has planned a Celebration of Marty’s life at the home of Buck and Connie Dellinger, 5436 S. Laredo St., Centennial, CO 80015 on August 26th at 3pm. Light food will be served. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Brookside Inn, Activities Department, 1297 S Perry Street, Castle Rock, CO 80104 in memory of Marty Dellinger

Having no plan means having a plan to fail
he recent Washington Post article, “Dying at your desk is not a retirement plan” caught my attention. I recall when I first began creating financial plans in 1986, we had a motto, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Of course, no one intentionally sets out on a path to fail. But over time, it becomes the default when we never get around to it. The article about dying at your desk is a great example of what could happen when you never take the time to map out a strategy for the future. “Every one of us is making a decision on retirement every day, in the way we live and spend our money,” says Fritz Gilbert as he was interviewed for the article. “Not making a decision is still making a decision. Spend the money to buy that `thing’ and you’ve made a decision to work longer.” Regardless of whether we are ready to stop working, it is widely published that most Americans have not planned well for retirement.
Baby boomers, roughly 75 million — those born between 1946 and 1964 — have a median nest egg of $164,000. ¹ The Insured Retirement Institute study found 42 percent of baby boomers have no retirement savings. Among those that do have savings, 38 percent have less than FINANCIAL set aside for STRATEGIES $100,000 retirement. The majority of the bubble generation, 62 percent have not planned for or calculated what they may need in the future once they are no longer working. In addition to havPatricia Kummer ing an awareness that there needs to be a plan, make sure it includes inflation, taxes, health and elder care expenses, longevity and market fluctuations at the bare minimum.

able housing, transportation and care as you age. The feared epidemic of millions of baby boomers scrambling for retirement dollars is getting closer every day with 10,000 people turning 65 every 24 hours. By 2029, 18 percent of the U.S. population will be age 65 or older. This will likely change the entire economy, including what goods and services are available and how investments perform. ² Millions of people will rely on Social Security for the main staple of their income in retirement. However, Social Security was never designed to be the sole support for retirees. At the time Social Security was created (83 years ago this month), the average life expectancy in this country was 61.³ It was designed to be one leg of a three-legged stool. Pension plans and personal savings were to provide the other two legs to keep the stool upright throughout retirement. Nowadays, with fewer retirees expecting to receive pension income, and
lack of personal savings, the deficit is growing rapidly. We need to start with education and awareness. Then people need to be willing to accept a dose of reality and outline where they are financially. Then it is time to seek a professional to create a strategy to get you on the right path to financial independence. This is a complex situation that takes some time and commitment to better control your personal outcome. Hopefully your lack of planning does not have you dying on the job. It’s never too late to get started building the right kind of plan for you. 1. Washington Post, June 15, 2018; 2. Pew Research Center; 3.

Whether it was something that they did that hurt us and we needed to bring it to the forefront, or it was something we see them doing that is possibly causing damage to themselves or others, either way we felt like we needed to say it. We see this happening at home and in the workplace, and we see it happen on television as we watch analysts and panelists, reporters and pundits talk at each other and over each other instead of having a real conversation. And when we dissect this problem and look at the root cause of why it is happening, we find that it is because each person or party has their own agenda. Sometimes these agendas are out in the open, and in other cases, they are hidden agendas and that is where a potentially meaningful conversation gets hijacked and turned into a
monologue with one person talking “at” and over the other person. What would you think about this very simple, yet common-sense practice as a way to fix this problem? Keeping in mind of course that common sense is not always common practice. The potential fix is to make sure that a very clear agenda is agreed upon before the conversation takes place. Even if we feel so strongly about wanting to talk “at” someone. If we are to be heard, we need to make sure that the playing field is level, and that the other person will be in active listening and participation mode. And we need to be in active listening mode too. The agenda is really very simple. First, we agree on the topic that we will be discussing. Secondly, we set the stage that we both might have questions about the topic or incident or subject and that we are both given permission to ask those questions. The third part of our agreed-upon agenda is that we will stay on topic and not drift into other areas that

aren’t really relevant to the conversation we want to have. And lastly and most importantly we set the stage for a positive outcome at the end of our time together. Here’s how it might sound, “Mary, thanks for meeting with me today. Today I was hoping we could talk about the last few association meetings we attended together. I would love to hear more about what you were thinking and some of your actions and responses, so is it okay if I ask you some questions while we are talking? I would also like to share a little about how that made me feel and I am sure you might have some of your own questions too. I really do appreciate our friendship, so I hope we can stay focused on this topic today and that by the end of our coffee time and conversation that we will both have a better understanding of how each other is feeling about our projects and our association meetings. Would you like to add anything to our list of topics? Does this sound
fair and like a good way to talk through this?” Equal time for both parties, mutual understanding of what is to be discussed, and agreement on the rules of engagement will always turn a monologue into a meaningful conversation. Everyone’s agenda is important to them, and as long as both people or parties have a chance to express their thoughts in a safe environment, it will give room for both agendas to be discussed. So how about you? Have you ever been talked “at”? Have you ever found yourself being the one to talk “at” someone else? Either way I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can learn to listen first in order to be heard, it really will be a better than good week.

Rick Seewald, the owner of Parker’s Sweet Lorraine’s Catering, is pretty straightforward about it: “Well, a really big grill helps.” Seewald and his crew will cook up thousands of turkey legs in a 200-square-foot booth at A Taste of Colorado, the legendary Labor Day weekend event that transforms Denver’s Civic Center Park into a smorgasbord of the state’s culinary offerings. This year’s festival runs Sept. 1-3. Say “Taste of Colorado” to many Denver-area residents, and the first two things that come to mind are corn on the cob and turkey legs. But the Taste, now in its 35th year, is growing into a food and musical event to rival the state’s big bashes, said spokeswoman Cary Krukowski. “Best of all, admission is free,” said Krukowski. Organizers beefed up the Taste this year, with a main stage triple the size of the old one, Krukowski said. A smaller stage will host musicians from around Colorado. The musical offerings are the largest in the festival’s history. The main stage musical lineup is split into three days. Saturday is classic rock, featuring REO Speedwagon, Firefall and George

IF YOU GO When: Saturday, Sept 1 to Monday, Sept. 3 Where: Civic Center Park, sandwiched between the Denver City and County Building and the Colorado State Capitol at Broadway and Colfax Ave. Cost: Admission is free, but food and vendors aren’t. Guests can book VIP tickets for concerts that offer food, drinks, and primo seats. One-day VIP tickets are $119 each (plus fees and taxes) and can be booked at atasteofcolorado.com. Contact: Visit atasteofcolorado.com for more info. Thorogood. Sunday goes country with LeAnn Rimes, David Nail and Mitchell Tenpenny. Monday features an epic ‘90s throwback lineup: Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Everclear and Soul Asylum. “We’re taking the whole experience up a notch,” Krukowski said. “Denver has grown substantially in the last few years, and there are lots of people who have never attended A Taste of Colorado. We wanted to freshen it up while retaining the classic feel the die-hards love.” New this year is the Capitol VIP Experience, where for $119 a ticket plus fees and taxes, guests can watch the big shows from a special deck beside the main stage, meet Broncos players, and kick back with exclusive meals and drinks. The festival will also host nearly 200 artisans and vendors in the Mountain and Plain Marketplace. SEE TASTE, P19

ate summer moving into early fall is my favorite time of year in Colorado. Usually, the heat is dying down and nature is starting to show off its fall colors. In other words, it’s the perfect time of the year to spend outdoors. If the weather isn’t excuse enough to explore some of the beautiful open spaces around Jefferson County, PLAN Jeffco’s In Plein Sight festival is back Sept. 10-15 to add an artistic touch to nature. The free, six-day public painting event features 25 professional artists painting at different Jeffco Open Space locations. The completed works can be seen at the Golden Community Center, 1470 10th St. in Golden, Sept. 12-16, with new works being added as they are comCOMING pleted. ATTRACTIONS “We want to get people into parks and see what can be done in them,” said John Litz, PLAN Jeffco board member and event chair. PLAN is a nonprofit organization that advocates for open space. Clarke Reader “And, if they see art being created they like, they can take a little of the park home.” All the artists are creating work In plein air, which means “open air,” and was developed in the mid-19th century by French impressionists including Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. The nine returning artists and 16 new ones will spend each day in different locations, like Lair O’ the Bear Park, Elk Meadow Park, and along the Clear Creek Trail in downtown Golden. Art fans can watch the artists work for free and buy the paintings if they find something that moves them. When In Plein Sight hosted its first event in 2016, more than $35,000 of artwork was sold. “It has become more important than ever to preserve our open space as the Colorado population continues to boom,” Litz said. “We feel this event is the perfect way to celebrate our parks and inspire a new generation to learn how to both conserve and enjoy the gorgeous landscape that draws so many to our beautiful state.” For more information, including painting schedules, visit www. planjeffco.org.

Ranch a place for wounds to heal Nonprofit Elizabeth facility offers free equine therapy BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

uzy MacKenzie’s passion has always been helping people so, after 40 years in the mission field, she moved to Elizabeth and founded the Eagle’s Nest Equine Therapy Ranch. “We are a nonprofit organization supported entirely by donations,” she said. “We always welcome anyone who wants to visit us, plus we schedule one day a month during the spring and summer for first responders, veterans and their children. That monthly event is called Buckaroo Day.” Aug. 1 was Buckaroo Day at the ranch, and more than 50 adults and children took part in a variety of activities. For example, while one young boy got acquainted with a horse, several other children painted the coat of another horse, while nearby children were taking part in stick horse races. Shannon Simpson watched her daughter Mattie Hatchcock paint a horse. “I brought my daughter out today because the ranch is kind enough to sponsor a first responders day” the Adams County firefighter-paramedic said. “I think this day is special because it is a great way to get outdoors and bond with my daughter on a different level.” - The Littleton resident said her daughter loved all that was going on. “She hasn’t stopped smiling since I told her we were coming out here,” Simpson said. “This the first time she has ever been on a ranch and she is just loves it and loves being around the horses.

I decided that was something I would like to do.” She found the location near Elizabeth when she and the volunteers opened and began operating the ranch in 2014. “We are a faith-based organization,” MacKenzie said. “We do what we do because I believe we are providing the opportunity to be around horses for those having a difficult time in their lives. We hope this will set the tone and our prayer is God will do the healing.” She said the ranch is on leased land but that will change in September. “We have been blessed with the donation of 40 acres of land that include a house and a barn with stalls for our horses that is just a few miles from where we are now,” she said. “It is a great blessing and a huge benefit to our program.” She said the new location is complete but the ministry still needs a horse trailer and pickup.

True to the festival’s name, though, the heart and soul of the festival is the grub. More than 50 restaurants and food trucks will set up shop, Krukowski said. The festival is great exposure for some of the area’s hidden-gem restaurants, said Brett Carson, owner of Large Marge’s Philly Cheesesteaks of Wheat Ridge. “Lots of people don’t know this little place in Wheat Ridge is turning out such great cheesesteaks,” Carson said. Expats from the City of Brotherly Love dig Large Marge’s because it’s the real deal, Carson said. “We use bread and shaved ribeye flown in at least twice a week from Philadelphia,” Carson said. “It’s not those little frozen hockey pucks of meat. It’s all fresh-cooked to order — no heat lamps here.” Food vendors bring their A-game to Taste, Carson said, which makes it a joy for restaurateurs too. “It’s so cool to see what others from around the state offer,” Carson said. “We’re so darn busy that we don’t get to walk around much, but we always make friends — and do some great food-trading.” For plenty of guests, though, a stop at the Sweet Lorraine’s booth is a must. “A lot of customers tell us it’s the highlight of their year,” Seewald said. “They say summer isn’t complete until they’ve had a turkey leg at the Taste of Colorado.”
WHO’S PLAYING? This year’s A Taste of Colorado features 32 bands on two stages, including numerous Colorado bands. The music is divided into three theme days: classic rock, country and ‘90s. For a complete list, visit atasteofcolorado.com.

A TASTY EXPERIENCE Dozens of local restaurants will be on hand for A Taste of Colorado, representing the Denver area’s diverse foodie culture, including Large Marge’s Philly Cheesesteaks, Lazo Empanadas, Barbed Wire Reef, Msosi Kenyan Cuisine and Tacos Y Salsas. Close to 200 artisans and vendors will hawk their wares, ranging from local honey, henna tattoos, clothes, soap and plenty more. Kids will have plenty to do at the South Platte Kids Zone, where youngsters can watch musicans and dancers, and get food — like mac and cheese and hot dogs — more suited for the youthful palate.
Cattlewoman of old Colorado is subject of biography Ann Bassett led exciting life in area of fabled ranchland wars BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
She was the first white child born in Brown’s Park, and ranch woman Ann Bassett continued to make history as a cattle queen — actually called “Queen Ann” in later years — a woman who could ride, shoot and curse with the best of them. Her story is told in the new book “Ann Bassett: Colorado’s Cattle Queen” by Littleton author Linda Wommack, and this reader rather immediately started envisioning the related movie she’d love to see … Ann, a small, dark-haired, pretty woman was born on the Bassett Ranch to parents who differed dramatically. She grew up under the tutelage of a mother, Elizabeth Bassett, who was a skilled, strong-willed ranch operator. Her father, Herb Bassett, was softspoken warm man with health issues, who was justice of the peace and local postmaster, welcoming people to stay at the Bassett Ranch.

Rocky Mountain field guide is blessing for flower lovers Denver Botanic Gardens experts produce volume with 1,200 photos
A new book on wildflowers of the Northern, Middle and Southern Rockies, with clear photographs and identification information is available now. DBG botanists are the authors of this three-year project.
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Denver Botanic Gardens botanists have worked for more than three years to produce a really comprehensive guide to the many spectacular flowers that bloom in the Rocky Mountains each year. They range from 50 kinds of blue penstemon to rare and retiring orchids — totaling 1,200 species from eight states and Canada. Each is identified by a photograph and location map, a description, popular name, where found and when, and if native. Some are noted as highly toxic or used as native medicine — or in the case of Aquilegia coerulea, Colorado blue columbine, it’s the state flower of Colorado. Four varieties are identified, and the reader learns that “all columbines hybridize freely.” After months of listing, photographing, sorting and organizing, the Botanic Gardens has issued a sturdy, handsome, flexible book to carry in your backpack to identify as you go — or used another way, it might suggest where and when
COURTESY OF DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS
you’d want to go to hunt for a particular species ... The inside covers and endpapers have explanatory black-and-white drawings illustrating the parts of a flower and different leaf forms
so one can be certain what one has found. The concise introduction by Panayoti Kelaidis sets the scene, with descriptions of the areas covered by this book: The Northern, Middle
and Southern Rockies (Colorado is in the Southern Rockies), a bit on plant distribution, on elevation is various regions, and a clear reminder to “leave no trace” — and pick no flower! A section follows on “How To Use This Book”: description, names, abundance, bloom season, growth cycle, height. Then one must recognize life zones: alpine, subalpine, montane, foothills, pinyon-juniper, sagebrush steppes, intermountain parks (especially in Southern and Middle Rockies), high plains, wetlands — with photos to help. Then, how botanists classify plant families, with some clues about appearance. Finally, 1,200 wellorganized photographs and descriptions, divided by color: green, maroon and brown, red, blue, white, yellow. And finally, a section on what scientific names mean, a glossary of descriptive words, a section on sources and resources. The authors include: Sonya Anderson, Mike Bone, Nick Daniels, Dan Johnson, Panayoti Kelaidis, Mike Kintgen, Sarada Krishnan (director of horticulture), Cindy Newlander, Savannah Putnam, Jen Towes, Katy Wieczorek. “Wildflowers of the Rocky Mountain Region” is available at the Denver Botanic Gardens and at bookstores for $27.95.

Camp gives adults with cancer new zest for life Arvada-based nonprofit draws campers nationwide
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After a year and a half of intense immunotherapy treatments with a clinical trial to treat melanoma, Tiffany Wolf was at the “end of her rope.” “I had had it with the pain, the fatigue, the nausea — the fact that I couldn’t be a mom, or at least the one I wanted to be,” Wolf, now 37, explained. “I couldn’t work and I love what I do. All of it.” Wolf, who lives in Arvada, was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma at 22 years old. Seven years later, it returned. This time it had spread through her body. Treatment included chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. Then the clinical trial in 2014, which she said kicked her butt. “The drug did its job,” Wolf said, “but the drug was trying to kill me.” That’s when she was introduced to Epic Experience, a nonprofit outdoor adventure camp for adult cancer survivors. Epic Experience was founded in 2012 by Arvada resident Nancy Ferro after her oldest son, Michael, was diagnosed first with a benign brain tumor in 2007 and six months later with testicular cancer just as he was graduating from Regis University.
Tiffany Wolf said that camp fed her with a newfound energy and zest for life. “After his treatment, he got very depressed,” Nancy Ferro said. “I just saw a need to help survivors get out and feel like it’s OK to live, even though it felt different from the day they were diagnosed with cancer.” According to the American Cancer Society, cancer patients often feel anxiety, fear and isolation. Epic Experiences now holds about six to eight camps a year at a ranch three

Swim Across America scheduled for Aug. 26 The Denver chapter of the national organization will host an open water swim to raise money for cancer research BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Swim Across America’s Denver Open Water Swim is coming to the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26. Swim Across America is a national organization that raises money for cancer research through local swimming events. There are 20 individual Swim Across America events throughout the country. The Denver chapter strives to raise money to “make waves to fight pediatric cancer,” said Nicole Vanderpoel, the chapter’s organizer, so patients don’t have to travel long distances to get proper treatment. The Denver Open Water Swim is led by Rock Canyon High School swim coach Nicole Vanderpoel. For some patients, battling cancer can be costly if they have to travel to find a hospital with proper treatment. “All of our funds for cancer research and clinical trials are absolutely necessary,” Vanderpoel said. “The funds stay in Colorado and the families can stay in Colorado too if we continue to provide.” The Chatfield Reservoir will be closed to the public, and will be open only for the Swim Across America Event. Swimmers can choose to participate in the half-mile, one-mile or 5K events.

Putting a focus on FUEL Eating right and staying hydrated are crucial elements of high school sports success BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A
thletes and coaches are paying more attention to the role of nutrition, with an eye toward improving sports performance. “We just used to eat meat and potatoes,” said Amy Faricy, manager of Menu Services for the Douglas County School District, “but people have really come around.” Athletes must eat enough calories, while consuming the right types of foods and avoiding the wrong ones, stay hydrated and not succumb to the quick-fix promises of supplements, coaches and nutrition experts say. Being smarter about what they eat doesn’t mean all teenage athletes have nutrition down to a science. One of the biggest problems is simply not eating enough, which often includes skipping the day’s first meal, said Jenna Moore, a performance dietitian for the Panorama Wellness and Sports
Institute in Highlands Ranch. “Breakfast is essential,” she said. “If these kids are going from dinner to lunch the next day, that could be 18 hours without any food. These (athletes) with very fast metabolisms need to be eating frequently.” In a sport like cross country, in which endurance is critical and calories are burned at a high rate, nutrition’s role can’t be overlooked. “We talk about proper nutrition and fueling your body like an athlete frequently,” said Mountain Vista cross country coach Jonathan Dalby. “Most of what we teach our athletes are basic principles of good eating. “We emphasize with the kids that they should eat plenty of calories, good fats, carbohydrates and protein. Keep things like sugar, bad fats and empty calories in moderation. If our athletes are hungry, we want them to eat. This is their bodies’ way of telling them that they need more fuel.” Faricy said eating frequently during the day with small snacks can avoid gaps in energy levels. Meals hours before competition are important, and helping muscles recover after a competition with a meal, snack or a drink like chocolate milk is also crucial. SEE FUEL, P26

Christina Chisler, a registered dietitian with Jefferson County Public Schools, said the timing of a pregame meal is important. “It is recommended an athlete eat a meal two to three hours before the competition or practice to supply energy to their muscles and delay fatigue,” she wrote in an email. Another tip from Chisler: “A good rule of thumb is also never to introduce a new food on a race/game day.” Horizon football coach Frank Ybarra said athletes have plenty to learn about good eating habits. “To a point, I think high school athletes are smarter but that may be more because the parents are better informed on good nutrition,” Ybarra said. “A lot of athletes are still looking for the next great quick fix that they can purchase at a supplement store.” Some supplements, such as multivitamins, protein and some recovery drinks, can be beneficial, Ybarra said. But popular supplements purported to build muscle and boost performance, like creatine and nitric oxide, are not needed, he said. Moore agrees that knowing which supplements are helpful and which are harmful is integral to young athletes’ success — and that ultimately, pills and powders can’t replace what’s on a plate. “There are a lot of good supplements like vitamins, especially vitamin B,” she sad. “Then there are supplements that are pre-workout that are basically energy drinks in a powder form. That’s not doing anything for your energy level
FALL 2018 SPORTS PREVIEW except giving you a blast of caffeine. What is happening is, athletes are not dealing correctly with their food and their energy levels are low, and instead of trying to get food, they go to the nutrition stores looking for help for their energy levels.” Perhaps as important as anything athletes put in their bodies is water. “Being hydrated is essential for peak performance,” Dalby said. “Our athletes typically have a water bottle with them wherever they go.” Valor Christian golf coach Jason Preeo is no stranger to performing at the highest level — he played in the 2010 U.S. Open. To him, nutrition is more of a mental matter than a physical one. “The effort and energy to hit any one shot is not great, but as energy levels drop the ability to continually make good decisions diminishes,” he said, “and golfers tend to make mental mistakes that are typically much more costly.” While coaches in all sports today emphasize the importance of eating right, they are dealing with teenagers, and that means candy bars and chips are still going to be part of the equation at times. Highlands Ranch softball player Taryn Dragseth, a senior, admits she sometimes eats junk food. But overall, she’s says she’s focused on eating right and has noticed the increased importance coaches put on that. “Definitely eating right is more important now,” she said. “Like two years ago, it was never mentioned. Now, we have certain things we are supposed to eat throughout the day. I’ve noticed that a lot more recently, especially as we get older. I think it is a maturity thing, too.”

Careful consumption is crucial
SOFTBALL Overview There are some new things this season, including: • The coach, pitcher or catcher of the defensive team may request an intentional walk either before or during the pitch count. • Equipment no longer has to be inspected by the umpire or placed outside the dugout/bench prior to the start of a game. Responsibility for ensuring that players are legally and properly equipped rests with the head coach and school administration. • Umpires now have the authority to allow a reasonable number of warm-up pitches to an incoming pitcher due to circumstances that required a pitcher to be removed by rule or injury. Previously, there were no guidelines for the incoming
pitcher under these circumstances. Defending 5A state champion Legend returns six starters and both of its pitchers from last season. The Titans face a rugged non-league schedule and then jump into the competitive Continental League play, where Legend has to compete against strong teams led by Douglas County. Valor Christian, a dominant team in 4A the past four years, moves up into Class 5A with a team loaded with players that gained experience last season. Fossil Ridge, 5A runnerup to Legend, and semifinalist Legacy also return a notable nucleus of players from the 2017 campaign. Legend was ranked No. 1 in the preseason CHSAANow.com preseason Class 5A poll followed by Fossil Ridge. Legacy was fourth, Valor
Christian ninth and Douglas County 10th. Top returning players The following are some of the top returning players in the south metro area: Zoey LeCompte, Legend; Payton Lincavage, Legend; Alley Kim, Douglas County; Katie Meredith, Valor Christian; Maggie Swank, Englewood; Savannah Behaetz, Valor Christian; Savanna Reiners, Douglas County; Olivia Bradley, Legend; Annie Rouke, Mountain Vista; Kennady Warder, Mountain Vista; Julia Qualteri, Pondersoa; Bridgette Strobl, ThunderRidge; Alexa Cordes, Castle View; Haley Hoy, Castle View; Kiah Parker, Castle View; Moranda Ramey, Chaparral; Katie Hilsman, Douglas Coun-

on the ranch. Disputes were violent and ongoing. The Craig Museum had a lot of information about Brown’s Park and about Ann’s older sister Josie McKnight (seven marriages and a history of cattle rustling). Wommack is now launched on a book about Josie McKnight, she added. Littleton author Linda Wommack has been writing about the West “for 10 years, off and on,” especially about Western women. “I’ve loved Colorado history since childhood and first learned about Ann Bassett while a student at DU,” Wommack said during a recent interview. About 10 years ago, Wommack learned that Bassett had left unpublished memoirs and she was soon started on her ninth book. She also had memoirs by Ann’s third husband, cattleman Frank Willis, other family letters and memoirs as well as material from old newspapers. In the Craig Museum, she found a “large newspaper archive, memoirs, court documents” and 80 percent of the photos she used. Just across the border in the Vernal, Utah, library, she found more information, especially about Josie, who is buried there and left written memoirs. Ann and Willis lived near Josie in Ann’s last years, until Ann died in 1956. “Every book is a joy, but this …,” a huge smile said it all. Brown’s Park is in northwestern Colorado on the Green River at the far edge of Dinosaur National Monument, extending into Utah. It was reputed to be a legendary stomping ground for outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. (An initial internet search reported that the sisters were “girlfriends” of the notorious outlaws, but it seems more likely after reading Wommack’s interesting tales, that they were just friends and cohorts.) Craig, in Moffat County, was the seat of activity for the area — where a newspaper was reporting on interactions of outlaws and the ranchers those who used, or wished to use, the public land to graze cattle and sheep.
As a member of the South I-25 Gap Steering Committee for the last two years, I’ve been an active participant in discussions concerning the importance of expediting the needed improvements to the Gap between Castle Rock and Monument. And while vital decisions regarding the widening of I-25 have been made up to this point, make no mistake: the next three months are critical.

other. Before my warm milk and a nap, I just wanted to admit the truth about my condition. I don’t want to wind up like Joe Franklin, who was still interviewing people five years after he died. But seriously. I guess there is some good news. Except for Corden, I still recognize the names of the late-night hosts.

Lawn mowing app expands GreenPal, an app that connects homeowners with local, vetted lawn-care professionals, launched in early August in Centennial. Nashville-based GreenPal allows homeowners to find local, prescreened lawn professionals. Homeowners can list their lawns with their service date and lawn-care needs. Vetted lawncare pros can then bid on their properties based on the Google street and aerial images and any other lawn details the homeowner provides. Homeowners select who they want to work with based on vendor ratings, reviews and price. Once the service is complete, the lawn care pro will send a time-
stamped photo of the completed work. Homeowners can then pay via the app and set up more appointments. “After successfully launching in 30 other markets, we are excited to help homeowners in Centennial find reliable, local lawn care,” cofounder Gene Caballero said in a news release. Residents can visit the online page for Centennial at yourgreenpal.com/local/lawn-care-centennial-co. Medical-assistant apprenticeship Arapahoe Community College and Centura Health have launched Colorado’s first registered medicalassistant apprenticeship program. A dozen students are enrolled in the initial cohort. “We are excited to embark upon this unique partnership with Centura Health to benefit both students and industry,” ACC President Diana M. Doyle said in a news release. “We extend our gratitude to everyone at Centura Health, the Greater Metro Denver Health Care Partnership and local workforce centers who are committed to supporting this program. Our efforts will provide a sustainable pipeline of talented medical assistants across the Centura network.” The six-month hybrid program includes online, on-site and handson laboratory components. Paid apprentices work collaboratively with Centura Health supervisors for 26 weeks (32 hours/week) before taking the National Healthcare Association Medical Assistant certification exam. Apprentices who successfully complete both components become full-time medical assistants with Centura. For information about the apprenticeship, contact ACC Dean of Business, Technology and Workforce Partnerships Eric Dunker, Ph.D., at eric.dunker@arapahoe.edu or 303797-5859.

EPIC FROM PAGE 21
“When you’re diagnosed with cancer, so much of what you go through is in a hospital or at home or rehab — you don’t get outside,” Ferro said. “There’s just something about nature that is soothing and revitalizes you.” For Golden resident Kim McConnell, 40, some of the revitalization came from being with other people who were fighting their own cancer battles. McConnell was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and is currently cancer-free. “Very quickly the similarities of things that each other had gone through really connected us,” Mc-
Kim McConnell, of Golden, attended the winter camp in January 2017. McConnell is a breast cancer survivor. COURTESY PHOTO Connell said. “Being young when I was diagnosed made me nervous about the cancer coming back. But
being connected to Epic means that now I have this community of people that can support me. That
gives me hope.” That connection is a thread between campers. “By the time camp was over, it feeds you with this newfound energy or zest for life almost,” Wolf said, adding that after camp, after a couple months of clean scans, she told her doctor she was done with treatments. “I was ready for things to change so I could do more with my life,” she said. Four years later, she shows no evidence of cancer. But Epic is still a big part of her life. “The whole journey you feel very alone because no one else in your immediate circle has it,” Wolf said. “They are on the outside looking in, so they don’t get it. But at camp, they got it. That was a big deal to find a group like that.”
