Focus turns to Fagen’s legacy, successor Community members speak out as controversial superintendent prepares to leave for Texas post By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen’s decision to leave Colorado to take the same position in Humble, Texas, a district of 39,000 students outside Houston, has sparked communitywide discussion about her legacy and who will replace her. Fagen, hired by the Douglas County school board in 2010, said in a May 24 email to district staff that she expects to leave by mid-July.
There has been a mixed reaction to her appointment in Humble. A change. org petition protesting her hiring received 2,000 signatures online as of May 26. Meanwhile, parents and community members in Douglas County posted Fagen dozens of anti-Fagen comments on the Humble school district’s Facebook page. On May 25, the Humble district put out a letter defending the hire. “Our School Board was well informed on all aspects related to Dr. Fagen’s candidacy,” the letter from Robert Sitton, Humble school board president, reads. “We are aware of the posts from Colorado on our district’s social media page last night
and today. We have reviewed the posts, and we want you to know that none of the comments posted were a surprise to us, as we have done extensive research on all seven of our superintendent candidates, including Dr. Liz Fagen.” Fagen’s legacy In Douglas County, parents and educators are reflecting on the impact of Fagen’s six years at the helm of the district, which is Colorado’s third largest with about 67,000 students. “Under Superintendent Fagen’s leadership employee morale has plummeted and millions of dollars have been diverted away from the education of students to fund reform initiatives with unknown budgets and little accountability,” said Laura Mutton, president of the Strong Schools Coalition,
a nonpartisan organization of parents, students, teachers and community members. “Ideally, the next superintendent of Douglas County School District will address the many concerns of the community and restore trust so the district can move forward in a positive direction for the sake of our students.” Initiatives that sparked criticism during Fagen’s tenure included the implementation of a new market-based pay system that compensated teachers of in-demand subjects like science and math at a higher rate and measured teacher performance in categories ranging from Highly Effective to Ineffective. The district is also in the midst of multiple legal challenges surrounding its Fagen continues on Page 12

Hospital walls get personal touch Local business donated $26,000 worth of artwork depicting employee families By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The walls of the Birth Place at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital are no longer bare, thanks to Susan Dukat, of Susan D Photography, who donated $26,000 worth of fine art photography that depicts employee families.
This is the largest donation the hospital foundation has received to date. “I think having the artwork in the hallways has really just given a personal touch to the unit,” said Jacque Northrup, birth concierge at Castle Rock Adventist. Dukat, who is based in Larkspur, started the project in the fall of 2015, requesting volunteers from hospital staff to pose for the wall-art project. In the following months, Dukat photographed more than 25 staff members and their families for free
in a custom portraiture session. “The fact that it’s our nurses and their families is just amazing,” Northrop said. “The nurses adore the pictures that are in here. And it is really fun to be able to see that it’s not just some general child that’s out there on our walls.” The initial installation included more than 60 large-scale, fine art canvases featuring the newborns, children and families of the participating staff members.

Castle Rock Councilmember Renee Valentine has filed a protest against the petition to recall her from her District 5 seat. “I believe this recall is an abuse of the recall process which is in place if an elected official does Valentine something ethically or legally inappropriate,” Valentine wrote in her formal protest to the town clerk. A protest hearing has been set for 10 a.m. June 3 at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St., Castle Rock. The petition to recall Valentine — submitted by residents Jeff Linn, Amy Fienen and Sid Brooks — says Castle Rock and District 5 would be better served by a new councilmember who “supports responsible development, reduces debt by ensuring that spending does not exceed Valentine continues on Page 6

FACES AMONG US
HELLO
... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community
TASHA DOMASHOVETZ
Graduate student, cyclist, lover of people About me I’m 25. I moved here from Chicago about three years ago. I’m in graduate school for clinical mental health counseling at Denver Seminary. I love my program. It’s definitely what I’m meant to do with my life and I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m currently working for my internship at Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. That’s really fun. I love it. I’m graduating in December, so we’ll see where life takes me after that. Fencing in college In undergrad at Ohio State, I was a varsity fencer. I loved it. I did that starting freshman year of high school because my big brother did it — I idolized my big brother. He got into it because of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” I was not particularly good in high school, but I had a lot of grit and tenacity about it. I did it because it was fun and whimsical and then I found out it was an amazing opportunity for college. I was a nobody basically, but the coach took a chance on me. And I worked hard.
Beginning my career I knew when I was little that I wanted to work with people because I found them interesting. Ever since third grade, I knew I wanted to be a psychologist, which later expanded to the broader mental health. Ultimately, I would like to get my doctorate. I’m just starting my career and I’m so excited where it’s going to take me because I know I’ll never come to the end of what I’m going to learn. Ultimately I would like to integrate exercise into therapy somehow, because exercise is so
important to me and it’s really valuable for mental health. So, when I get my private practice someday, I’m going to figure that out. So many people love exercise, especially in Colorado. Working with schizophrenics I really like general practice and I really like working with schizophrenia patients. It’s just really interesting because these people are smart. They’re resourceful. If you work with them, they really know that they’re not living in a normal reality. Hearing voices — they know that’s not normal. So, a lot of these people are really bright and brilliant, but they are so mentally ill that life has become this massive struggle for them. But they’re surviving somehow. I love getting to work with people like that — who are survivors. At the root of who they are is just this grit, that I’m gonna keep on living, and keep on trying to find an answer, and work toward that. To me, they’re some of the most inspirational people because they’ve survived so long with something that’s as weighty as schizophrenia.
Staff report Crews were scheduled to start work May 31 to add lanes and smooth out the roadway on Plum Creek Parkway between Perry Street and Interstate 25 in Castle Rock. Work is expected to take most of the summer. Here’s a look at the improvements planned, starting from Perry Street and working west: • The town will add a dedicated right from southbound Perry Street to Plum Creek Parkway • At Wilcox Street and Plum Creek Parkway, the intersection will be reconstructed to improve drainage and ride quality by removing the dip on the east side of the intersection. Additional turn lanes will also be added to improve traffic flow for westbound Plum Creek Parkway and northbound Wilcox Street. • At I-25 and Plum Creek Parkway, new electronic signage will provide an

additional right-turn lane for drivers to access the northbound I-25 on-ramp during heavy morning traffic hours. Also, the lanes on the southbound off-ramp will be rearranged for better traffic flow. • Crews will also repaire the pavement, curbs and sidewalks along Plum Creek Parkway between Douglas County Fairgrounds and Wilcox Street. To do this work safely, some lane and intersection closures will be necessary, along with some detours. However, at least one lane of through traffic will be maintained in both directions on Plum Creek Parkway. Still, drivers may consider alternate routes. Portions of the road will have to be removed for extended periods of time, so night-only closures aren’t possible. Work is expected to wrap up by mid-August, though all construction schedules in Colorado depend on weather.
CORRECTION In the May 19 edition of the paper, a “Making A Difference” listing incorrectly stated the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office needs volunteers for mail delivery and other similar support. In addition, outdated contact information was listed.

Finding road biking In my free time, I do a lot of bike riding. When I moved to Colorado, fencing started to take a backseat in my life. And my brother had gotten into cycling and it somehow clicked with me. You get to be outside ... My grandmother, before she passed away, got me my road bike. And it’s wonderful because now, whenever I ride, I think of her ... I love riding from my house, down Wolfensberger to 105. And I love biking all the way to Palmer Lake, getting lunch and a coffee, and then biking back. There’s animals — llamas and bison and cows and horses and alpacas. ... By the time you’re done, it’s 40 miles and 2,000 calories, so I can eat whatever I want that day.
Construction along Plum Creek Parkway starts for summer

Teacher promotes safe space for students Castle View teacher honored for support of LGBT students By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Amber Schweitzer is a teacher who makes students feel comfortable. She creates a safe environment and welcomes students to talk to her. So much so, that in her first year teaching at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, a student followed her out to her car after school and came out to her about being gay. “It made a big difference for him to have a safe adult to talk to about it and know that it’s OK,” Schweitzer said, noting that the student has since told friends and family. This was not an isolated situation. “In every class I’ve taught, I’ve had different students tell me personal stories of coming out or of family members,” Schweitzer said. “I think they talk to me because I’m pretty open-minded. My themes are very self-accepting and accepting of others.” Schweitzer works to create a safe place for students in her yoga and health classes and as the sponsor of the school’s GayStraight Alliance, which brings together gay and straight students to support each other, provide a safe place to socialize and create a platform for activism to fight homophobia and transphobia. That’s why GLSEN — Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network — honored Schweitzer with the Educator of the Year Award May 23 at a ceremony in New York. “We’re honoring Amber for her thoughtful, inclusive curriculum, her leadership in building Castle View High School’s GSA, and her deep involvement with community organizations,” said Curtis Lahaie, a representative from GLSEN. “The Educator of the Year Award goes to an exemplary educator whose work has helped create a safe and affirming learning environment for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.” For Schweitzer, the nomination itself came as a shock. “I feel like the work that I do is just the work that I do,” she said. “The award, it’s completely overwhelming. I never expected to be acknowledged.” But for those who work with her and the students she mentors, the fact that Schweitzer was named GLSEN Educator of the Year is no surprise. “She’s just a good person and has a good heart,” said Dr. Jim Calhoun, outgoing Castle View High principal. “She has a soft-spoken demeanor that makes you feel comfortable.” In her two years at Castle View, Schweitzer has grown the school’s GSA from two students to more than 30 by getting students to talk about the group, invite friends and participate in school activities. “Teenagers in general are trying to find themselves,” Schweitzer said. “There are students walking down this unknown path. They see things and start questioning themselves, but don’t have anywhere to explore it. Having GSA to talk through

They brought it to school events and people took notice. One of those active GSA students is Wesley Ferguson, who said he found acceptance by joining the club. “I feel like I know that there are more people that are gay or bi at the school and it’s not all straight people,” said Ferguson, who just completed his freshman year. “I feel like I can make a difference and try to make other kids more accepting. I can make a positive influence on other people’s lives.” Self-acceptance and acceptance of others are key themes in Schweitzer’s classes. In her yoga classes, she focuses on students accepting themselves and, in turn, accepting others for who they are. Acceptance also translates to her health classes where she tackles tough topics like gender and sexuality, suicide prevention, mental health and bullying. The goal is to shed light on a variety of stigmas to increase awareness and acceptance by students. When speaking about Schweitzer and awarding her the Educator of the Year honor, Dr. Eliza Byard, GLSEN’s executive director said, “Amber Schweitzer is an exemplary supportive educator whose inclusive curriculum, leadership and community involvement have had a significant impact on the lives of her students.”

SCHWEITZER ON TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS “Title IX, once again, ensures that all students have equal access. As a physical educator, this is not my first time considering the needs of transgender students. This topic is something I help facilitate every year in my physical education classes and high school athletics. I am grateful for the support offered by Title IX, and I look forward to the launch of new programming from GLSEN that addresses this, and other tough
topics within the athletic realm called “Changing the Game.” “Personally, I was raised within a community that has always had access to all-gender restrooms and cannot understand all of the upheaval. Everyone has the right to use the restroom in public places. Period.” — Amber Schweitzer, teacher at Castle View High School

The display, which includes the hallways and the birthing rooms, is an exclusive, on-going project that will grow over time. “Every time I hold a fresh newborn I am reminded of the miracle they truly are,” Dukat said. “I hope the artwork gives parents hope for their children and provides a sense of comfort to laboring mothers — that what they are doing is miraculous.” Although the donation is partially a marketing effort for Dukat, she said it’s also about giving back to the community. She hopes to partner with other non-profits for similar projects in the future “We wanted to get involved in the community,” Dukat said. “This was a great fit for our business.”

Petitioners turned in more than 300 signatures to Castle Rock Town Clerk Sally Misare. Misare validated 273 signatures on May 16 — five more than the 268 signatures needed to move forward. The validity of those signatures and the process of how they were obtained are also the subject of Valentine’s protest. “There were signatures counted that should not have been validated,” Valentine wrote in her protest letter. “Only the clerk, Sally Misare, checked the signatures to be valid. With the variance of five signatures, the deputy clerk of Castle Rock or an individual of like expertise should have double-checked the work.” Misare was out of town and could not be reached for comment. The hearing will be conducted by Karen Goldman, an independent hearing officer and Aurora’s deputy city clerk. If the protest is denied, the question regarding Valentine’s recall will be added
to the Nov. 8 general election ballot for District 5 voters. The district includes Castle Oaks, Cobblestone Ranch, Escavera and Founders Village. Valentine was elected in 2011 and her second term expires in 2018. She will continue to serve in office while this recall process takes place. A mail-in ballot election on the recall of Mayor Paul Donahue, who represents District 1, has been set for July 26. Voters in that district can expect to receive a ballot in the mail in July. The district includes the western side of The Meadows neighborhood. Donahue, who is term-limited, was first elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. His term will expire in November. He was appointed as mayor by other members of council in 2012 and again in 2014. The petition to recall Castle Rock District 2 Councilmember Mark Heath was not submitted with signatures, so it will not move forward.

Petitioners: Engagement reason Heath recall dropped Councilman Mark Heath reached out and listened, petitioners say
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock District 2 Councilmember Mark Heath listened. And he tried to become a better representative to his consitutents. Those are the reasons the petition to recall Heath became the only one of the three recall petitions to not move forward, petitioners said. “It was obvious that Mark was trying to find ways to work within the boundaries (of the quasi judicial process) and still listen to what constituents had to say,” said Thomas Curtis, one of the petitioners, noting that this was a different approach than those of Paul Donahue and
Renee Valentine, the other two councilmembers up for recall. “The other two have tried to damage the credibility of the petitioners.” Claims in the petition to recall Heath dealt with budget approvals; failure Heath to support Citizens Petition 2016B, which gives citizens the right to vote on annexations of five or more acres; and putting a time limit on public input at town council meetings. To understand where the recall petitions came from, Curtis said it’s important that residents understand the dynamics of the people involved in petitioning for the recall — that they are not against growth, but want their concerns about how the town grows to be heard. “We are not anti-development, radical environmentalists,” he said. “I was not

at all involved in the prairie dog issues. These are performing, productive citizens in society. This is not a vocal, radical minority. This is normal people in the business world.” Instead of dismissing these citizens, who wanted their voices to be heard on issues at council, Curtis said Heath reached out to them in an attempt to better represent them. “It was only recently that we were in the midst of the petition activity that we
saw results,” Curtis said, adding that he had tried to reach out to Heath before with limited success. Heath’s approach of engaging with the community to discuss concerns is how Castle Rock resident Bill Placke said elected representatives are supposed to work. “I believe the juxtaposition of Mark’s response to Valentine and Donahue Heath continues on Page 13

Challenges, balance are key to good life “Every day is a new challenge.” That was the response to the first question I had asked of Diana Rudolph during our coffee meeting the other day. It was such a great response and it fueled the rest of my questions for our brief visit together. Now for some context. You see, I had written a couple of recent columns “The Champion in All of Us,” and “Being CrossFit for Life,” and talked about the importance of keeping balance in all areas of our lives. Too much of anything and soon enough an overdeveloped strength can quickly become a weakness. So we need to invest time proportionately in ourselves and in our family and friends in the areas of our mind, body and spirit. Many people responded to the columns and shared their views and opinions, some focused on how they balance and prioritize their lives, others had questions on how to actually achieve this balance, and others focused on the CrossFit element. One local reader and owner of the CrossFit Loop thanked me for the column and invited me to come and work out with him and the gang at his box. I appreciate Korby for the invite and for the introduction to Diana Rudolph, who happened to be training there that day. I would say it was a coincidence, but we know that coincidences are just God’s way of staying anonymous. Diana recently qualified for the CrossFit Games, kind of like the Super Bowl for football or the World Series in baseball. She is currently ranked 22nd amongst the women in the world and is looking forward to competing at the very highest level as the CrossFit Games get underway this summer. My curiosity was piqued for sure. So I had to ask more about when she got started, how
she trains, eats, sets goals and balances all other areas of her life. I mean, here she is ranked 22nd and competing at the highest level in the sport and she only started training five years ago, and before she started her journey she shared with me that she Michael Norton could not do any of the exercises, let alone one WINNING pull-up. She has a family, runs a business, and WORDS finds time to train three hours a day, three days a week. She has three trainers and trains in two different CrossFit boxes, CrossFit Loop and Front Range CrossFit. By the way, special shout-out to her coaches Scott, Renee, Mike and Korby for helping Diana get to this point. Now, her achievement is pretty incredible and I can’t wait to see how the games turn out. But what she shared with me as we started the conversation is what really got my attention. “Every day is a new challenge.” That is what she loves about CrossFit and what she loves about life. Many of us face new challenges every day in all that we do. So for my own benefit and for your benefit I asked her about how she deals with those challenges. Her answer: • Set goals — general goals that can be achieved, stretch goals where she can push the envelope every day • She does this because she wants to find out where her peak actually is; challenges inspire her.
• She has learned how to balance all areas of life and has become self-sufficient in so many ways. • Discipline and intensity. • Leans on her coaches and advisers. Diana has at least two new goals. She participates in a fundraiser called the Do More Charity Challenge. Last year her team came in second and her goal this year is to take first place. And she is currently ranked 22nd and her goal is to break into the top 10. I love this because one is a personal goal and one is a communitydriven goal and a way for her to give back. That is the balance I am talking about. I may have forgotten to mention that Diana is 52 years old. So she began her journey at 47. So you see, it really doesn’t matter where we are in our lives, we can set and achieve goals at any time and at any age. And as a matter of fact, Diana’s mom, Sharon, started CrossFit training at age 73 and has also recently competed. It reminds me of what Zig Ziglar used to say, “We cannot make any more new yesterdays, but we can create as many new tomorrows as we possibly can.” What’s on your list for a new tomorrow? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can set goals, push to find our peak, find balance in our lives, live with discipline and intensity, lean on our coaches and advisers and give back to the community, it really will be a better than good week. Thanks for being such a great example, Diana, and we all wish you success in the CrossFit Games. 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.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Be prudent with petitions Currently 24 ballot proposals have been approved for petition circulation. This means you will probably be approached by a variety of petition circulators at your grocery store, library, shopping mall or other public venues asking you to sign a variety of initiative petitions. And most will advocate signing the petition “just to get it on the ballot so people can vote on it.” Be cautious. Your signature is valuable. The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties suggest you consider these six questions to help you decide whether or not to sign a petition. • Is it complex? Some issues can be decided by a simple yes or no vote. Complex issues may need additional questions answered and explained. • Is it confusing? Some ballot proposals may require court resolutions or interpretation. Ask the circulator to explain the issue. • Does it belong in the Colorado Constitution? If the issue passes and is placed in the Colorado Constitution, it will stay there forever. The only way it can be changed it by another vote of the people. • How will it be funded? An initiative should generally create its own revenue source and not earmark, restrict or obligate a specific percentage of the state’s General Fund revenues. • Who is behind it? Who are the sponsors and opponents? If you wish more research go to www.sos. state.co.us and click on elections & voting, then on initiatives, then on proposed initiatives. • Ask to see the petition circulator’s ID. Paid gathers are required to carry a picture ID issued by the Secretary of State. You can prevent fraud by insisting on seeing identification. As the League of Women Voters has long advocated: “Think Before You Ink.” Marlu Burkamp Littleton

Song planted idea, and then words went to seed The following column is intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised. I have always wanted to say that. Even though there is no cause. The words to a song changed my life. If it weren’t for the words to this song, where would I be right now? Craig Marshall Smith I would be in Nowheresville. QUIET I know I would be DESPERATION living in the Englishlanguage slums with an unwashed vocabulary, getting by with catchy phrases like “Pleased to meet you,” and “How is your mother, Carl?” My tongue would be thick, untrained, and guilty of the mispronunciation of words like “perpendicular” and “genuflect.” By the way, you can’t be perpendicular and genuflect at the same time. It was tried once by a man in Ottawa. He sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
I consider the “West Side Story” soundtrack to be life-threatening. Not in the sense that I’m going to die when I listen to it. In the sense that it profoundly threatens the quality of my existence. Where was I when I first heard the song that changed my life? I do not know. How old was I when I heard the song? I do not know. I must have been 5 or 6, because I can vaguely recall singing it on the playground. It turned heads for two reasons. Then as now, I couldn’t sing worth crapulence. Secondly, the lyrics are stupefying. “Say what?” Jimmy Detwiler said. “Excuse me?” Emily Danford said. OK. So if Jimmy and Emily were in the picture, that places me in Hopwood, Pennsylvania. Now we are getting somewhere. It had to have been 1953 or 1954. I was still unfamiliar with Edward R. Murrow at that point. The song came out of our new Philco. I kind of remember Dave Garroway asking Marlin Perkins, “Did you see or touch any monkeys?” And then Garroway introduced a local man who Smith continues on Page 11

Home care and hospice are beautiful partnership Hospice is specialized care for individuals with a terminal diagnosis and with less than six months to live. A patient’s team of experts seeks to relieve pain and to bring comfort and every bit of joy to the person’s last days. Many people have the misconception that at-home hospice services provide round-the-clock care. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Although hospice staffs are always on call and available for emergency situations, actual hospice services only offer an hour or two of certified nursing assistant care per day as well as weekly nurse visits. Home care can supply a much broader range of care. One of the first things a hospice team will do for a patient is to prepare an individualized care plan that will, among other things, address the amount of care and support needed for the patient. Oftentimes family caregivers are on site to support their loved one when hospice is not there. There are situations where the hospice patient does not have family or the family lives far away or it is just too overwhelming and they need respite themselves. Home care can help. Home care providers can provide respite care to families. Respite care is stand-in care given to a patient so that the family caregiver can take a break and get some relief
from the burden of caregiving. Having respite care can enable family caregivers to keep providing rather than burning out or becoming ill themselves. Ongoing caregiving can deteriorate one’s physical well-being as well as one’s mental health, Christina Davis potentially leading anxiety attacks, LIVING AND to depression and other Respite home AGING WELL issues. care provides time and space needed to heal and recuperate. Home care provides specially trained caregivers that help fill the gap with personal and companion care services and respite care for families in need. Some of the services home care provides include: • Personal care — including incontinence care, bathing, grooming, dressing • Linen changes • Housekeeping • Companionship • Emotional support
• Respite care in the home for family caregivers Acceptance of hospice and home care can be difficult for both the patient and the family. Both agencies can help families understand that they are there to provide the best care for their loved one, to offer services to make the transition comfortable and dignified, and to give families peace of mind that their loved one has everything they need. Sometimes, families simply are not sure where to find hospice or home care help. A family can search for these resources in many ways. One option is to check online search engines such as Google or Bing. A family can ask their doctor’s office or local rehabilitation center for a referral — often they have connections with both types of agencies. Neighbors and friends are always a great way to find help, or one can look in a local Seniors Resource Guide directory. Some things to consider when searching for a homecare company to help with your loved one: • How long has the agency been providing home care services? • Does the company perform background checks on all staff? • How does this provider select and train
its employees? • Does the home care company have caregivers trained in hospice care? • Can they meet any special needs you may have such as language or cultural preferences? • Does the company have enough hospice-trained caregivers to provide the care needed? Not all home care agencies are able to provide 24/7 care. Home care and hospice have a supportive, collaborative partnership. When families are faced with the loss of a loved one, they need to know that there are options to help them during this painful time. During such a difficult time, family members should simply be able to be family. Allow home care professionals to take on the responsibility of giving care to your loved one while you spend those irreplaceable moments with one another.

Legislature on wrong side in Colorado beer war The Colorado Legislature passed a compromise bill in the waning hours of the legislative session, which if signed into law, would make a bad situation even worse. The last-minute bill requires our antiquated liquor laws to favor one competitor over another for the next 20 years. Grocery store chains in Colorado are pushing for a ballot initiative in November that would give them the right to sell beer and wine in more than one location. Currently, a grocer can apply for a liquor license, but only in one store throughout the state. The exception is the sale of so-called “near beer” with an alcohol content of 3.2 percent or less. These restrictions benefit the mom-andpop liquor stores to the detriment of chain groceries. Existing Colorado law sides with David, not Goliath. The heart of the compromise is a 20-year prohibition of real competition. The bill establishes a complicated set of conditions that grocery stores must meet before they can compete freely. The worst condition is a geographic monopoly that can be overcome only if a liquor store decides to sell their business to a grocer. Senate Bill 197 continues to favor David. My view is that Colorado’s alcohol laws are mired in Prohibition-era politics of the previous century and should be overhauled way beyond letting grocery store chains sell real beer and wine. For example, Colorado law requires a local licensing board to judge a person’s “moral character” and deny a license if the applicant doesn’t measure up. Should a licensing board ask an applicant if he or she ever committed adultery? That act is immoral and sinful but, in Colorado, it’s not illegal. The state also requires a liquor applicant to declare their race, even though this is not required for a Colorado birth certificate or a driver’s license. This information is not needed for identification and is irrelevant
in determining a person’s worthiness to obtain a liquor license. Government has two legitimate interests in controlling alcohol sales: It should prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors and it should prohibit the sale of Jerry Presley alcohol to intoxicated GUEST persons. Alcohol sales absolutely COLUMN should be licensed and regulated. Beyond that, government has no business favoring one seller over another regardless of the size of the seller. Government should treat big business the same as small business and vice versa. Its role is to make sure there is a level playing field. The marketplace should pick winners and losers. However, the compromise bill specifically requires a liquor applicant to prove there is an unmet need in the neighborhood before a new license can be granted. It seems to me that if anyone wants to risk money to compete in the marketplace, then by definition, there is an unmet need. The person risking money certainly thinks so. Why should government determine “need” when entrepreneurs and consumers can do it far better and much more efficiently? The compromise legislation is not in the best interests of citizens, voters or consumers. The State of Colorado should not favor David or Goliath. Let them battle. I think there is a good chance that everyone will win, especially the consumer. The proposed legislative compromise does not pass the smell test and I hope Gov.

That one little song showed me that language can be an art. Words can become poems, non-sequiturs, double entendres, palindromes, innuendos, puns, quips and homophones, deer readers. One of the song’s writers said the song was based on an English nursery rhyme. “Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet and liddle sharksy doisters.” “Mairzy Doats” was composed in 1943, recorded by the Merry Macs, and it reached No. 1 in 1944. All I know is that it changed my life. It opened me up to the possibilities of clever wording. My next encounter with grammar play came every day at noon in 1956 when we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It involved a man named Milton Supman. His stage name was Soupy Sales. The English nursery rhyme was a twist on “Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat and little sharks eat oysters.”

sang a novelty song. It began like this. “Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe!” I’m telling you. I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what I had just heard. But that is exactly how my love for words and wordplay began. Only I didn’t know it at the time. It took hindsight. A date asked me, “How do you come up with these things?” She was referring to a comment I had just made about the similarities between non-dairy whitener and Kanye West. I said, “It’s because of this song,” and I began to sing it. “Please don’t,” she said. “Mail it to me.” I did, but it came back. It was marked “Return to sender, address unknown.” “Elvis,” I said to myself.

attempt to create a voucher system. In 2012, the school board severed ties with the teachers’ union. And the hashtag #firefagen has been used widely on social media for more than a year. Jason Virdin, spokesman for the group Douglas County Parents, a group of parents and community members, called Fagen’s tenure “an era of disregard.” “I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about her time in Douglas County,” Virdin said. Virdin said his group hopes the next superintendent will be a better communicator who will “check their political affiliation at the door and put more money into classrooms than pet projects.” Jenny Robertson, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said she is “happy that Dr. Fagen is leaving Douglas County, but I am very concerned for the Humble community. I don’t think she’s fit to lead any public school district. Her experiments are aggressive and unproven. They would be a better fit in situations where parents knowingly opt their children into them.” Teachers’ union officials also called Fagen’s departure a necessary change. “Although we believe that this is a positive step toward reclaiming public education in Douglas County, we also realize that Dr. Fagen acted in concert with the school board that directed her,” Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said. “And, until a majority of board members are elected who support public education and who will treat teachers and staff as the professionals they are, there will be no significant change in the direction of the district.”
June 2, 2016 But Fagen’s supporters believe she made a positive impact in a challenging environment. John Carson, a University of Colorado regent and a member of the Douglas County School Board from 2005-13, praised Fagen for expanding school choice, strengthening charter schools and implementing a pay-for-performance system for teachers. “Dr. Fagen did an excellent job,” said Carson, who was the school board president when Fagen was hired. “She was the kind of leader that challenged the district to excel and improve. She wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.” Carson, who has two children in the district, said he hopes the next superintendent will continue to innovate and build on the work that was done over the past six years. “She poured six years of her life into our district,” said Meghann Silverthorn, who has been school board president since November. “So we are grateful for her service. She oversaw a lot of great successes in the district for parents, students and staff.” The district’s graduation rate has risen steadily under Fagen’s watch. The rate for 2009-10 was 83 percent and for 2014-15 it was 89 percent, according to Colorado Department of Education figures. The average ACT score of district students remained between 21 and 22 each year of her tenure. DCSD’s graduation and ACT figures both outperform the state average. CDE numbers show, however, that teacher turnover under Fagen rose from 10.2 percent in 2009-10 to 19.7 percent in 2015-16. The state average is 17 percent. Search for a new superintendent The board will meet to outline a timetable and criteria to hire a
replacement, Silverthorn said. No specific date has been scheduled for a meeting. An interim superintendent is expected to be named before Fagen’s departure and lead the district into the start of the upcoming school year. Silverthorn said she hopes to find someone familiar with the staff, students and the community to serve in the interim — someone “with the heart of a servant who is a leader and understands our community.” Grace Davis, a 16-year old student from Ponderosa High School in Parker, staged a protest at her school in April asking for answers about why teachers are leaving the district. Davis has accused Silverthorn and school board Vice President Judith Reynolds of trying to intimidate her into not holding the rally at the school. “The district’s main priorities when choosing a new superintendent should be their track record, goals, work ethic and how the candidate will impact the students,” Davis said. Davis questioned the board of education’s ability to choose a replacement. “How can we entrust our current board of education with the decision to select our next superintendent if the majority are behaving in ways that are unacceptable for educators and administrators nationwide?” Davis asked. “We, as a district, need to make sure that we have a board that is truly representing our interests and desires before we jump to hire a new superintendent. The job of superintendent should not be a chess piece in a game of politics. We need to make sure the new member of the DCSD staff is for students and proactive in their work.” Former Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings, who left after the 2014-15 school year, said a new superinten-
dent must be transparent with strategic direction and leadership decisions and be “an honest communicator who doesn’t spin the truth.” “They need to model how to use feedback for improvement,” Goings said. “They need to subject themselves to full 360 (degree) evaluations, getting feedback from a variety of stakeholders. Then, they need to make this a clear expectation for all leaders. Superintendent should be the top learner in the district and show they are always looking at ways to improve as a leader.” Parent Stacey Chamaty of Castle Rock said she believes the position of superintendent should be earned by working your way up through the ranks and by having built trust and gained the respect of your peers, staff and the community. “Wherever our new superintendent comes from, I hope that community will tell us how lucky we are and mourn the departure of someone that has made a positive impact,” Chamaty said. “I don’t want to hear alarm bells and hear people yelling, ‘Good riddance!’” Amy Devalk, a parent from Highlands Ranch, said, “I believe the new superintendent should be open-minded and flexible. They should be able to see all sides of an issue and their only agenda should be what’s best for the students and teachers of Douglas County.” Board of education member Wendy Vogel said the two most important qualities she would like to see are a heart for kids and extensive experience, both in education and leadership. And, she said, the board shouldn’t go it alone in finding Fagen’s replacement. “We absolutely must seek public input,” she said, “and it is imperative that we involve our community in the search for our new leader.”
Career keeps Fagen moving Staff report Elizabeth Fagen earned her bachelor’s degree from William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and her doctoral and master’s degrees from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. During her career in education, Fagen has worked in administration in high schools, including as a high school principal, and as a biology and chemistry teacher and a tennis coach. Fagen has a husband, Matt, and two young daughters. In 2008, she became superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District in Tucson, Arizona, a district of 56,000 students with 105 schools. In 2010, after conducting a national search, the board of education unanimously named her superintendent for the Douglas County School District. On May 24, she was named the lone finalist for the superintendent position in Humble, Texas. Fagen has not been available for interviews since the announcement of her departure was made. “The Douglas County School District is truly an excellent school district — one that is a lighthouse in American education,” Fagen said in the news release announcing that she is leaving. “I am proud of all that we have accomplished over the past six years together. I know that our teachers, leaders and support staff will continue to amaze. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work with the talented students and staff in this district.”

NEWS IN A HURRY Web-sale signs installed at sheriff’s locations In early 2015, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office offered the parking lots of both of law enforcement facilities, in Castle Rock and in Highlands Ranch, as a “safe haven” for making exchanges of items bought or sold on the internet. The transactions are not supervised by sheriff’s office staff; however, designating the sheriff’s office as an exchange location is hoped to create a deterrent for those who do not intend to complete the transaction as agreed. The sheriff’s office has reserved four parking spaces at the Douglas County Justice Center, on the southwest side of the parking lot, and two parking spaces at the Highlands Ranch Substation, directly across from the main entrance, as designated “Internet Purchase Exchange” locations.

County checks in at eighth on happiness list For the second year in a row, Douglas County ranks in the top 10 happiest counties in the United States. A recent study by SmartAsset has ranked Douglas County as the No. 8 happiest place in all of America — the only Western county to place in the Top 10. The financial technology firm collected data on 981 U.S. counties with populations of at least 50,000 people, and analyzed metrics having
to do with family stability, physical activity, personal financial health and economic security. The county — which was ranked No. 1 in the state for overall health behavior earlier in the year by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — checked in at No. 2 for having the highest percent of its population receiving the recommended amount of weekly physical activity. According to SmartAsset, 68.75 percent of Douglas County residents receive at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of rigorous physical activity per week. From a financial perspective, Douglas County has the highest income ratio of any county in the study and the eighthhighest median income of $102,626. Per economic security, the county’s low unemployment rate of 2.6 percent and poverty rate of 4.1 percent were both factors.

Littleton church uses comedy to raise money for a pair of causes By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
little before 7 p.m. on a Saturday, comedian Bob Meddles takes the stage. A small church in Littleton seems like an odd place to see stand-up comedy, but Meddles, billed as The Comic Next Door, isn’t out of place in front of a few dozen audience members in pews drinking iced tea and eating cookies. “I have, believe it or not,” he answers, when asked if he’s played a church before. “It’s just a very different show.” Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren on South Windermere Street is a slightly different church. Pastor Gail Valeta’s sermon last Sunday was on “Star Wars” and Celtic theology, so a stand-up comedy show to benefit a pair of the church’s causes in Africa — Nigerians displaced by the Boko Haram terrorist group and Ethiopians without access to water — is not much of a stretch. “This is one way we thought we could help,” Valeta said of the event, Stand Up for Africa. This is the second time Prince of Peace has tried a comedy show as a benefit. In 2010, the church hosted a benefit for those affected by that year’s massive earthquake in Haiti. Comedy in a place of worship isn’t all that uncommon. Outreach Inc., a Colorado Springs-based company that books entertainment acts for churches, lists dozens of comics on its website. Marjorie Hofer of Peace Mennonite Community Church in Aurora said her church has had Christian comedy troupes put on shows in the past. She came to the show because Peace Mennonite also supports the victims of Boko Haram. For some, however, it may not line up with their perception of church. “I’m a recovering Catholic,” congregant Tom Mauser said. “You would never think of this (in a Catholic church).” As would be expected for the venue, the comedy was devoid of swear words or sexual material. The darkest subject
Comedian Bob Meddles performs at Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren in Littleton on May 21. The church hosted a stand-up comedy show to benefit humanitarian causes in Nigeria and Ethiopia. Photo by Kyle Harding matter Meddles touched on was a bit about assisted suicide, but he mostly stuck to self-deprecating jokes about his weight — “Don’t be fooled by the suit, there’s a whole lot of me under here” — and stories about marriage, fast food and Costco. “We made it a requirement that it be
family-friendly — which was hard to find,” Valeta said. Mauser and fellow churchgoer Paul Rohrer served as openers for Meddles, using slideshows, Russian and Italian accents and lots of puns. Stand-up continues on Page 15

Castle Rock outdoors show to feature artists Guild holds downtown event for fourth year By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Greater Castle Rock Art Guild will repeat its successful “Court the Arts Festival” for a fourth year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 11 and 12, on the lawn of the DMV Building at 301 Wilcox St. in downtown Castle Rock. (The artists coordinate with the Rotary Club’s popular Ducky Derby, which happens in the area on June 11 as well — with the duckies scheduled to race at 3 p.m.) GCRAG artists will be joined in this event by creative folks from the neighboring Parker Artists Guild and a total of about 40 are expected, according to Fritz Anders, who will exhibit his wood-burning designs, suggested by the “distinctive natural patterns” in each piece of wood. Works will be in a variety of mediums and artists will enjoy talking about their processes and products. Watercolorist Cindy Welch will exhibit her paintings of historic Castle Rock landmarks, probably including spots visible from the lawn, as well as other subjects. Dennis Guttenberger of Western Log Creations will show “rustic mountain style furnishings and accessories,” including pieces created from beetle-kill pine, with its distinctive blue markings.

Rohrer teaches acting, and Mauser has developed somewhat of a following for humorous slideshows he began doing for his job at the Colorado Department of Transportation. “They asked me to do the announcements one Sunday,” Mauser said. “They hadn’t seen the comic side of me.” Despite the serious matters the show benefitted, Mauser said a comedy event fits perfectly. “People want to have fun,” he said. “If you want them to contribute money toward the cause, what better way than to let them have fun?” That turned out to be the right idea. Valeta said the day before the show that she hoped to raise $750 to $1,000. Right after the show, she said it raised upward of $1,500. The night’s comedy was punctuated by information on the causes that the money went toward. Addisu Haile told the audience about the work being done in his native Ethiopia, where the KAFFA Development Association is working to bring clean water to the village of Muti. People who live there

He said a comedy show is a great way to raise money to help the effort. “The whole point of church is to provide service,” he said. Valeta spoke to the crowd about the situation faced by Christians and Muslims in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has killed thousands, destroyed towns and kidnapped young girls. “Boko Haram may be worse than ISIS,” Valeta said. The victims include many members of Church of the Brethren, which is her church’s denomination. Valeta said the money is going directly to volunteers on the ground, providing food, blankets and shelter. “We know the funds are not being pilfered or being squandered,” Valeta said. In addition to raising more money than Valeta expected, the show was a crowd-pleaser. “He was such a blast,” Hofer said of Meddles. Valeta also thought the show was a success. “I just laughed my head off,” she said.

Authors gather to honor their own Banquet at Denver hotel packs in Colorado writers By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Highlands Ranch author Claudia Cangilla McAdam received the Colorado Authors League award for Best Children’s book for her picture book, “The Mermaid’s Gift.” Courtesy photo
The Colorado Authors’ League banquet (and 85th birthday party) was sold out on May 6 as local professional authors gathered to honor their own at the Courtyard by Marriott on Colorado Boulevard. Awards went to newly published works in 12 categories. A record number of entries were judged this year by members of the Southwest Writers, an Albuquerque-based writing organization. Claudia McAdam, a Highlands Ranch author of children’s books, who had been a finalist twice previously, was a winner in the Children’s Category for her lyrical picture book, “The Mermaid’s Gift.” Judges said, “The rich language of the text combines with beautiful watercolor illustrations to present not only a moral tale, but also a feast for
the eyes and ears of the picture book reader.” Set on the tiny Venetian island of Burano (where lacemaking prevails), it tells of a young couple’s efforts to help starving neighbors and Gianni’s encounter with a friendly mermaid who introduces lace. The CAL, in its 68th year of contests, honored mystery writer Margaret Coel of Boulder with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her series of Wind River tales. Poet Lois Beebe Hayna, 103 and still writing (she appeared at Bemis Library in Littleton last year), won for her poetry collection, “MoonHung Midnights.” She was winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Other winners: • Essays — “After Charleston” by Patricia Raybon. (Outpouring of love.) • Children’s books — “The Mermaid’s Gift” by Claudia Cangilla McAdam. • Young Adult Books — “War Bonds — Remembering One Small Town in America During World War II” by Beverly Jones. • General Non-Fiction — “Prophets and Moguls, Rangers and Rogues, Bison and Bear” by

Heather Hansen. (About the turbulent history of the national park system.) • Creative Non-Fiction — “Flying with El Condor” by Carolyn Evans Campbell.

Parker Days still ‘growing in all ways’ 2016 expands attractions to accommodate public interest
The 2015 Parker Days festival is shown from above. This year’s festival will include a kickoff performance by 38 Special on June 9 and tribute bands on the main stage on June 10. Photo courtesy of John Ott
By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com In the six years Sara Crowe has been planning the Parker Days festival, she’s seen a lot of changes. “It’s growing, in all ways,” Crowe said of the 39-year-old festival that highlights the community it’s named for. This year’s Parker Days takes place from June 9-12, and though she’s extremely busy finalizing details for the celebration, Crowe is excited to get it underway. “I absolutely love it,” Crowe said. “Other than spending time with my family, it’s my favorite time of the year.” Attendance for the festival has increased in each of the past six years Crowe has been organizing it. With increased attendance comes the balancing act of bringing back favorite attractions and finding new ones. Crowe said this year’s celebration will have a lot of both to make sure everyone who comes makes lasting memories. “It’s about the girl who’s been coming here since she was 10, and now she’s 40 and coming with her own kids,” Crowe said. “It’s about the kid who’s finally tall enough to ride the rides for the first time. It’s about the traditions you see, but it’s also about the new people in the community doing it for the first time.” Old traditions like buskers, clowns and carnival food will be abundant as always, but other recent favorites and new attractions will also be featured. The Stunt Jump will return after a successful outing last year, and Ronald McDonald will also walk the parade and perform magic at the community stage immediately afterward. After Wooly, the Colorado Mammoth’s mascot, made such a hit in last year’s parade, mascots from the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets and the Denver Outlaws will all be on hand.
Brand-new attractions cover a wide array of activities. Getting teenagers and children involved was a priority during this year’s planning, Crowe said. This year, a pole-vaulting demonstration will be held on Pikes Peak Drive after Saturday’s parade, and area high school students will show off their skills. That evening, James Egbert will bring his brand of electronic dance music to a party hosted by the Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Southeast Christian Church and Crossroads Community Church. Dancers of different ages and styles will get their chance to cut a rug on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as instructors from the Fred Astaire Studio offer free dance lessons in the gazebo at O’Brien Park. As in years past, music will be a big part of this year’s festival. Thursday night’s kickoff concert begins at 8:30 p.m. at O’Brien Park, featuring classic rock stalwarts 38 Special.

Kids with heart look for a kidney Prairie Crossing Elementary students look for a donor for PE teacher By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com As a physical education teacher for 12 years, Molly Wright has always had her students’ health in mind. Now it’s their turn to look out for her. Wright suffered a series of complications including seizures and a stroke during the birth of her son, Nolan, in May 2015. As a result, she lost 90 percent of her kidney function. She receives dialysis three times a week. But doctors say she will eventually need a new kidney, and she was recently placed on a transplant list. “We were told within one or two days (of the birth) that she might not make it,” Molly’s husband, Tom Wright, said. “Her liver and her kidneys weren’t responding.” Wright spent the next six weeks in the intensive care unit at Sky Ridge Medical Center. It wasn’t until August that Tom, Molly and Nolan could go home together for the first time. The ups and downs of becoming parents, while adjusting to Molly’s health problems, has at times been overwhelming. But Tom says his wife — who hopes to return to teaching when she’s healthy — has never despaired. “I don’t know how she does it,” Tom said. “It’d be so easy to say, `I don’t deserve this, woe is me,’ but never has she done that.” Wright’s positivity is apparently another lesson her students learned from her. Fifth-graders at Prairie Crossing Elementary were studying a chapter on body systems earlier this school year when teachers presented them with what they thought was a hypothetical situation about kidney failure. When teachers told students the situation was, in fact, real and affected a teacher some of them had known since kindergarten, students immediately began thinking of ways to help. “I’m just blown away,” Wright said of her students’ campaign. “They’re not just thinking outside of the box, they’re thinking outside of themselves.” Wright’s students started the “Help Molly Find a Kidney” project, and the campaign continues to gain recognition. They made flyers, business cards, rubber bracelets, T-shirts and hosted information tables at school events. Lola Nordhagen, a fifth-grader at Prairie Crossing, said the project is a way for students at the school to follow Wright’s example. “She’s helped so many people all throughout the school,” Nordhagen said. “She’s taught us all to persevere and to stay positive like she does for her friends
Nolan, left, Tom, center, and Molly Wright, right, thank students at Prairie Crossing Elementary School in Parker for their efforts in the Help Find Molly a Kidney project on May 23. Students made T-shirts, bracelets, business cards and an informational video to raise awareness for Wright’s search for a donor. Photo by Tom Skelley and her family.” On May 23, students presented a video they produced at an assembly of more than 300 third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixthgraders and more than 40 staff members, parents and Wright’s family members. Members of the National Kidney Foundation were there as well, sharing a slideshow and swag with students. But the powerful video produced by Wright’s students proved a tough act to follow. Noah Kenny, a fifth-grader who worked on the video, has had Wright for a teacher since first grade and said he was sad when she didn’t return from maternity leave. He said the idea of the video was inspired by the way technology brings people together. “Most people use stuff like computers and iPads and stuff,” Kenny said. “I thought we could share it with other schools and they could share it with their students and parents, and they could share it with other people and they could help spread the word like that.” The highlight of the video is an interview with Wright, conducted by an off-camera student. The child asks Wright about her life, her health issues and if all

the health problems she’s gone through have been worth it. Crawling on the auditorium floor, it was difficult to tell whether Nolan agreed with his mother or was simply responding to hearing her voice over the audito-
rium speakers. Either way, Nolan cooed, loud enough for the whole auditorium to hear, when he heard his mother’s answer. “It is totally worth it,” Wright said. “I get to see (Nolan’s) smiling face every day.”

Rough Riders explored in Coloradan’s book Author addresses large crowd at Littleton event By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado author Mark Lee Gardner is said to be the first biographer to tell the Rough Riders’ story from Teddy Roosevelt’s point of view. The author spoke to a sizable crowd at Gardner the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove on May 10 about his new book, “Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment and the Immortal Charge up San Juan Hill.” The Spanish were mistreating the Cubans, Gardner said, but the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in February 1898 was the factor that really inflamed Americans, who were hungry for a war — “a war for humanity.” Was it an underwater mine? The Spanish claimed it was internal, Gardner said. “Why would Spain provoke a war with the U.S.? Did the Cubans do it? “ President McKinley told the Spanish to get out of Cuba, or else — and they declared war. Teddy Roosevelt, who was secretary of the Navy, was pushing for war. Garner said that surprised people who knew
him, since his wife was recovering from surgery and his son was ill. “It was an opportunity to have their own war for the men of the late 19th century,” Gardner observed. His book’s opening chapters are filled with stories of American men of all sorts, eager to go to war — there were 6,ooo applications for the three regiments (about 1,000 openings) assigned to Roosevelt eventually — and they were treated like today’s rock stars as they traveled south by train to sail to Cuba. Although he included some of his rich Eastern society friends, the bulk of his Rough Riders were Westerners, cowboys and ranchers. Each man had to supply his own uniform, “Khaki uniforms were new” — and Gardner notes that Roosevelt’s was tailored by Brooks Brothers in New York. Roosevelt also brought along about a dozen pairs of spectacles, packed in various nooks and crannies, so he could always find a pair. He had a cavalry contingent, although when it came time to sail, there wasn’t room to take the horses, due to inexperienced planners up and down the line. Gardner found family letters written by Roosevelt’s men, as well as letters to their hometown newspapers, that gave him lots of first-person material to include in this very readable volume. The Rough Riders had three mascots: Josephine, a mountain lion; a little dog called Cuba; and a golden eagle called Teddy.

Young women wanted buttons from the men’s uniforms for souvenirs, he said in describing the scenes at train stations. Gardner had a small segment of early film shot of the Rough Riders that he shared with the audience, then said after they were loaded on the ship, ready to sail, they were held up for six days, in sweltering heat, awaiting a naval escort. They finally did arrive in Cuba, and their ranks included some buffalo (black) soldiers in separate units. The war was over soon — troops were back by September. “They were kind of like astronauts,” Gardner observed. There were Rough Rider games, cigars, baking powder … Several signed on with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows … they had annual reunions through the 1960s.” Gardner, wearing an embroidered cowboy shirt, is also a musician and concluded his talk with a rendition of “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” from the era — accompanied by a vintage banjo. The new book, published in May by Harper Collins, will be a logical addition to the American history buff’s library.

iCan Bike Camp Highlands Ranch Community Association presents iCan Bike Camp, a bike-riding program for children with disabilities. Riding a bike is a seemingly impossible task that can typically be mastered in less than a week. Within days of learning to ride, many children exhibit independent behaviors for the first time. This achievement creates a gateway of opportunity, helping children gain assurance and self-reliance in many other aspects of their lives. Volunteers ages 16 and older are needed. Camp runs from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19 at the Eastridge Recreation Center. Sessions are offered from 8:15-9:30 a.m., 9:50-11:05 a.m., 11:25 a.m. to 12:40 p.m., 1:45-3 p.m., 3:20-4:35 p.m. Go to www.hrcaonline.org/tr.

Valor falls in title game Lewis-Palmer wins championship, 1-0, over Eagles
Lewis-Palmer’s Annica Fletemeyer (15) and Valor Christian’s McKenna Gilbreth (2) fight for control of the loose ball. LewisPalmer won the 4A State Final by the score of 1-0 at Dicks’s Sporting Goods Park on May 25.
By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com It took 40 minutes but Valor Christian figured out what it needed to do in the Class 4A state championship girls soccer match against Lewis-Palmer at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. However, the damage had already been inflicted in as the top-seeded Rangers made a first-half goal stand up in a 1-0 victory over the Eagles on May 25. Valor Christian played with more intensity and put pressure on the Rangers’ back line in the final 40 minutes, but defense is what helped Lewis-Palmer complete a 19-1-0 season. “The girls desired it greatly and it showed in the second half,” said Valor coach Brian Shultz. “The first half was really about solving the puzzle, and (in the) second half we figured a few things out and really went for it.
“I’m really proud of their effort till the very end. Part of the reason we couldn’t get a goal is because LewisPalmer has a fantastic defense.” The Rangers didn’t allow a goal in the state playoffs, only seven during the season, and never more than one in a game. Lewis-Palmer got the only tally it needed when Annica Fletemeyer scored
off an assist by Brianna Alger in the 18th minute when she drilled a shot just outside the reach of Valor sophomore keeper Alexander Daws and into the net. “We were just exposed on a counter attack and our keeper almost had it — she got a hand on it,” Shultz said. Valor resumed play in the second half with more energy and survived two
good scoring opportunities by Lewis-Palmer. The Eagles had a trio of chances to tie the game, including one scramble in front of the goal with 1:42 showing on the clock. “We came together and started to play for each other versus the first half when we just wanted to score,” said senior forward Dakota Spencer. “There was a little more heart.” Valor, seeded seventh in the state playoffs, ended the season with a 16-4-0 record. “We would be proud of the season whether we won or lost,” Shultz said. “There were a lot of girls that didn’t get on the field in the championship game. They have been just as important of a part to our season because they trained and prepared and helped us in other parts of the season. “We have 17 returning players. I’ve only known the team and players since January so I’m proud of the way they came together and established an identity. For the seven seniors their contributions over the last four years have been tremendous.”
Soccer players honored by Continental League Staff report Castle View senior Julie Mackin, who will be heading to Clemson to play soccer, was named the Continental League Player of the Year when the all-league selections were announced May 25. Heritage earned the Sportsmanship award while
Will Cropper of Regis Jesuit was tabbed as the Coach of the Year. The first team all-league selections from South Metro schools were as follow: ThunderRidge: Mealii Enos, senior; Shae Holmes, sophomore; Kaley Tucker, senior; Kylee Duren, senior. Mountain Vista: Giselle Sawaged, senior; Peyton
Joseph, senior; Haley Schuepert, junior. Rock Canyon: Emily Sattem, senior, Macy Hairgrove, junior; Makayla Kolbert, senior. Castle View: Julie Mackin, senior; Kaylee Magnus, senior; Kira Steinke, senior. Chaparral: Eliot Edwards, sophomore; Lily Rawnsley, sophomore; Cassie Hiatt,
sophomore. Douglas County: Rachel Muller, senior; Elli Zimmer, sophomore. Legend: Rebecca Kholas, senior; Ashton Barkey, senior. Heritage: Jordan Allen, senior; Amy Caran, senior. Highlands Ranch: Izzy DePinto, junior. Ponderosa: Molly McFaul, freshman.
It’s time to rewind some of the highlights from the 2015-16 high school sports seasons. Like many highlight reels, it’s possible some of the best performances and efforts might have been trimmed or overlooked, so consider this a sampling: • Pomona defeated top-ranked Valor Christian, 28-14, in the Panthers’ first game of the 2015 football season. Later, the teams would clash again, this time in the Class 5A state championship game. Valor scored 15 unanswered points and used a key Panthers’ fumble late in the game to notch a 2826 victory. • Westminster’s football team opened eyes by winning its first nine games before a loss Jim Benton in the first round of OVERTIME the playoffs. • Holy Family senior quarterback Chris Helbig had people in the Colorado High School Activities Association office scanning state record books. He passed for a record 607 yards in the seasonopener and had 3,517 yards passing and 39 touchdowns before a knee injury ended his season after nine games. • Valor Christian won its second straight Class 4A softball championship by breaking up a no-hitter in the semifinals and another in the final. • Mountain Vista’s boys soccer team, seeded 28th in the 5A playoffs, made a remarkable run by upsetting teams ranked 12th, fourth and first but lost 2-1 in overtime to No. 2 seed Broomfield in the state finals. • In the seen-it-before category, Valor won its fourth straight 4A boys golf title, Cherry Creek’s boys captured their fourth consecutive tennis title and 41st in the past 44 years, and Mountain Vista’s boys won their fourth cross country championship in a row. SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler won his second consecutive 3A boys cross country crown. • And, for those who love replays, girl swimmers Brooke Stenstrom of Valor Christian and Abby Kochevar of Rock Canyon were worth watching. Stenstrom won three 4A state titles last fall at the state meet and set a state record. She leaves Valor with five state championship ribbons. Kochevar won two state titles, including her third straight in the 100 backstroke. • Valor Christian won its second 4A girls state basketball title and ThunderRidge defeated a Highlands Ranch team that seemed unbeatable, 47-32 in the 5A championship game. The Falcons had overcome a 13-point halftime deficit to down the Grizzlies, 46-37, in a Continental League regular-season game, but ThunderRidge dominated the rematch to end the season. • Ponderosa freshman Cohlton Schultz completed an undefeated wrestling season with first-period pins to win the 220-pound Class 5A state championship. • Pomona’s boys won the Class 5A state track title to join the wrestling and girls gymnastics teams as state champions. • Lutheran’s boys, led by Kent Harris, captured the school’s third straight state track and field title, one in 2A and the past two in 3A. Cherry Creek’s girls tennis team made news by finishing second in the state championships at the Gates Tennis Center. It was the first time in 19 years that the Bruins were not the firstplace team.

The Jaguars tied for sixth place with a 36-hole total of 503, which was 41 strokes more than state champion Grandview. “We weren’t as hot as we were in the regionals,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “The weather and a little bit of nerves kind of got to some people.” Thunderstorms halted played both days. Golfers and spectators took cover in the clubhouse for 73 minutes during an afternoon delay on May 24. Alexis Chan carded rounds of 83 and 79 to lead the way for Rock Canyon, which was the state runner-up a year ago. She tied for 13th place with a 161 two-round total. Amelia Lee tied for 17th place with a 162 total with rounds of 83 and 79. Brandy McClain had rounds of 85 and 96 for a 181 total and Naura Tagiya finished at 97-95 and 192 aggregate for 36 holes. “Everybody had to deal with the weather,” Vahling continued. “We got a couple bad breaks on a couple holes and

The Jaguars tied for sixth in the team standings. Photo by Jim Benton that gets your confidence going the wrong way as a player. “That’s golf. You can play your worst round ever one day and then turn around the next day and play your best.” Lee and Chan are juniors and McClain is a sophomore. “We were up there again and we were competitive,” said Vahling. “We have most of the players back next year so we’ll shoot at it again.” Heritage senior Joanna Kempton led the way for golfers from south metro schools. Kempton tied for ninth place with piggyback rounds of 79 for a 14-over-par total of 158. She recorded three birdies over two rounds, including one on the 18th hole of the final round. Heritage was fifth in the team standings with Cherry

Same name, different sport Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner stood on the field after watching the Eagles play Lewis-Palmer in the Class 4A state championship soccer game and admitted it was not the kind of football he used to play. In other parts of the world, the soccer is called football, but Heiner played the American brand of football. He was a two-time AllNorth Central Conference linebacker at Northern Colorado and played on both of the Bears’ Division II national championship teams. He went to the Tennessee Titans’ training camp and then played in NFL Europe, the XFL and with the Colorado Crush. He was hired at Valor Christian in 2012 as director of Performance and was named AD in 2015. Jeffco names players of year The Jefferson County League named its Players of the Year for soccer. Alyssa Kaiser of Ralston Valley and Valor Christian’s Camryn Dyke were chosen Kaiser, a senior, was the 5A Player of the Year after scoring 19 goals with 18 assists for 56 points. Dyke, a junior, had 36 points on 15 goals and six assists and was honored as the 4A Player of the Year. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Creek sophomore is mentally tough Micha Handler honored as Girls Tennis Player of Year By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek sophomore Micha Handler stood at the back fence, her back turned away from court in order to focus during the first set of the No. 2 singles final of the Girls State Tennis Championship on May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. Handler worked on improving her mental game this season, and that helped her go undefeated in 25 matches. She won the state’s No. 2 singles championship and has been named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year. “I was just trying to take it slow,” Handler explained about the time she needed to focus during the first set. “It was very mental in the first part of the set and I was just trying to slow up.” Handler beat Poudre’s Alessia Pabiano, 6-1, 6-1 to finish the season without losing a set including in the regionals, state tournament and a Chattanooga, Tennessee, college-format tournament. “I didn’t lose a set this season but I had some close matches,” she said noting that a 6-4, 6-4 win over Air Academy’s Cori Campbell in the Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was her toughest of the season. “The match at the Cheyenne Mountain

Invitational was 4 and 4. It was windy and we had some real long points but I pulled it out.” Handler, who played No. 1 doubles for the Bruins last season and was third in the state meet, was mentally ready for this season. “I improved not only my game but mentally,” said Handler. “The team has helped me. It’s so fun having everybody cheering for each other. That’s so different from last year. Our team feels stronger even though we didn’t win the state championship. “The mental part is really important, especially being a singles player, because it is all on yourself. I played doubles last year and sometimes you can rely on your partner. For singles it’s all you. Luckily this season I was pretty strong mentally. If I wasn’t as strong mentally I don’t think I would have won.” Creek coach Chris Jacob points toward Handler’s work ethic as part of the reason for her success. “She had an amazing season,” said Jacob. “She’s a hard worker. She pushes herself in practice and makes the people around her better too. She’s determined. She grinds out every point. She’s going to get her racket on everything. “Then, she’s going to make things happen too. She can dictate the point really well. She hits with a lot of pace and figures a shot ahead and makes sure she is in charge of the point.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 30, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans. You could find a good reason to make a change at this time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Just when you thought you had everything planned to the smallest detail, you get some news that could unsettle things. But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due. Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder. You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down. BORN THIS WEEK: You keep an open mind on most matters, making you the confidante of choice for people who need your honest counsel. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘Creating a community around food’ Parker restaurants turn to organic suppliers for better ingredients By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shelly Rosnik didn’t have anywhere to eat. So she opened a restaurant. For Rosnik, a longtime vegan, dining out often meant her menu options were limited to French fries. She envisioned a place where meat-eaters, vegetarians, gluten-free diners and people with other nutritional needs could sit down and eat together. Her vision just became reality. On April 15, The Gnarly Root opened its doors, providing Rosnik the space she needed to bring the same carefully-selected foods she eats at home to the public. Just as in her own kitchen, anything she dishes up at the restaurant needs to be fresh, local and sustainable. And she’s not alone. As the farm-totable, non-GMO and organic trends have become popular throughout the United States, local eateries have been at the forefront of bringing natural ingredients and healthy food to the people of Parker. “It’s all local and organic — they have to have farming practices that are environmentally sustainable,” Rosnik said of her suppliers. “They’re not draining the resources out of the soil.” The farms she buys from — in Kiowa, Simla, Elizabeth, Gunnison, Eagle and other places around the state — use bats instead of chemicals to control insects and employ conservation techniques to preserve water and soil. Rosnik’s suppliers take the same approach to meat and fish as they do to vegetables. Cattle and bison are fed organic grass and are processed separately, keeping the meat from being tainted with adrenaline. Fish are sourced from an Alamosa fish farm that gives fish space to swim. “They have to raise their animals humanely from birth to processing,” Rosnik said. “They’re happy cows, happy bison… Even at processing, their happy days just end. They’re not shipped off to some feed lot and put into that fear and that distress. They’re processed apart from the other animals, so they never see it coming and the other animals aren’t fearful.” Demand increasing for natural alternatives According to Rosnik, awareness of the potential risks of eating genetically modified produce and feed lot meats is driving consumers to explore more natural options, and leading them to her dining room. “Eating healthy and people wanting to have colorful food on their plates… there’s a lot more need, and room, for it,” she said. “We are busy every single day.”
Rich Esper pours a glass of Old World wine at his restaurant, Elevation, in Parker on May 4. Esper says the majority of his wines come from countries that have used organic practices for centuries. Photos by Tom Skelley Neil Fischer is seeing an uptick in business, too. He supplies grass-fed, humanely raised meat from his farms to local restaurants like the Parker Garage. He said the demand for his product increases between 16 and 18 percent each year as consumers seek out natural alternatives to factory farms. “We’re willing to do what it takes to set up something that’s really authentic,” Fischer said. In addition to supplying restaurants with high-quality food, Fischer works with other farmers to create food cooperatives around the state. “We’re working with farms in Salida and Gunnison to bring the food-to-table experience to local communities like Parker.” Fischer can be found downtown Sunday mornings, talking with Brent Walker, owner of the Parker Garage. The restaurant uses meat from Fischer’s farms in its menu, and each Sunday it opens its rolling doors to host The Farm2Table Trading Post, a venue for Fischer and other local farmers to come together with consumers. Walker gets pork bellies, beef and bison from Fischer, but he said he has always explored ways to obtain the freshest products on the menu. The chef, Duy Pham, even raised chickens and quail for the Garage on a farm in Elizabeth until demand and incapacitating snowstorms forced him to use other local farmers.
‘A community around food’ Walker wants to take the concept beyond the restaurant’s doors and into customers’ homes. He would like to set up tasting booths during the markets to allow consumers to try nuts, jams, meats and vegetables and order them directly from local suppliers. Walker said he views his menu as a way to “develop a food supply chain” in which customers will try an entrée at his restaurant and, if they like it, order the food directly from Fischer thereafter. “We’re creating a community around food,” Walker said. The outdoor farmers’ market in Parker is where Rich Esper, owner and head chef at Elevation, does a lot of his shopping. Esper estimated he buys between 70 and 75 percent of his produce from the market between May and October. He creates specials on the menu that only last a few days to accommodate the short shelf life of vegetables grown without preservative modifications. But the term “organic” doesn’t just apply to Esper’s food. “Where we really focus our approach to sustainability and organics is our wine,” Esper said. “Ninety-five percent of our wines are Old World wines which come from Spain, Italy or France, and they’ve been doing organic practices and non-GMO practices for hundreds of

years, not because it was the `in’ thing to do — it wasn’t a trend — it’s just how they always had done it.” The winemakers he buys from don’t use insecticides or modify their soil simply because they’ve never had to, Esper said. He noted that many people who complain of headaches from drinking wine have a different reaction when they try an organic wine without artificiallyadded sulfites. His suppliers, he said, sacrifice profit for pride, and for the product. “Would they get more yield if they introduced pesticides and herbicides?” Esper said. “Probably, but it’s not even a consideration because they know that something you do today affects what comes out of the ground tomorrow.” The ground is the starting point for organic, healthy ingredients. For the produce used at the Gnarly Root, it’s also where they return. Rosnik takes vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and biodegradable leftovers from the kitchen to her home where she uses them as compost. Like Walker and Esper, Rosnik said she is always trying to look for the latest techniques to bring healthy, tasty food to her customers while supporting innovative, organic and sustainable farming practices. “If it’s there and we learn about it,” she said, “we’re going to try and make that happen.”
