Court rules school fundraiser violated First Amendment Two schools in Highlands Ranch held a supply drive for a mission trip to Guatemala BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County School District violated the U.S. Constitution when it supported a fundraiser for a mission trip to Guatemala, according to a district court ruling filed July 17. “In sum, this panoply of interactions between the District and religion rises to an unconstitutional level,” the ruling by U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson states. “Defendants supported an overtly Christian cause through financial donations, through sending emails and flyers to students’ families, and through hosting the supply drive
during school hours over the course of a school week.” The case dates back to 2014, when Highlands Ranch High School and Cougar Run Elementary held a supply drive for a mission trip to Guatemala. In addition, a flier and email promoting the effort were sent to students and families at a number of schools in the district. The students who went to Guatemala were part of the Highlands Ranch High School chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The trip was organized in conjunction with Adventures in Missions, whose website describes its vision, “that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.” A Highlands Ranch High English teacher accompanied the students on the trip. The plaintiff in the case is listed as Jane Zoe, on behalf of her son,
who was a student at Cougar Run in Highlands Ranch at the time. Zoe argued that her son was taunted for not believing in God after he declined to participate in the program. The plaintiff ’s real name was not available. The American Humanist Association — a group that says it works to ensure the separation of church and state — and Zoe filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District on Oct. 22, 2014. The lawsuit names as defendants the school district, the board of education, former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, Cougar Run Elementary Principal John Gutierrez and former HRHS Principal Jerry Goings. The AHA said the district’s program was in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of and from religion. Attorneys for the school district
argued the fundraiser promoted “an increased awareness of and appreciation for poverty in a Latin American country, and a feeling of pride that (DCSD schools) sought to help poor children in an area of the world they were studying in class,” court documents state. In her ruling, Jackson stated, “The very concept of a mission trip has religious intimations. The Guatemala mission trip was overtly religious.” Zoe sought “nominal damages,” according to court documents. According to the Cornell University Legal Information Institute, this is a term used when a judge or jury finds in favor of one party to a lawsuit, often because a law requires them to do so, but concludes that no real harm was done and therefore awards a very small amount of money. The court awards Zoe reasonable costs and attorney’s fees, according to court documents.

Former rodeo queen still giving back to county fair About me I’m 25 years old and have been a resident of Douglas County my entire life. My passion is in the sport of rodeo. Through the National Little Britches Rodeo Association, I grew up competing in team roping, breakaway roping, goat tying and barrel racing. I competed through West Texas A&M University as well, while I earned my bachelor’s degree in mass communications, specializing in broadcast journalism and advertising and public relations. Currently, I am self-employed with my business MTM Marketing where I provide social media management, public relations, advertising and sponsorship services primarily for rodeo committees and professional rodeo athletes across the United States.

My favorite part of the fair and rodeo The people and the culture. County fair is far more than competing or showing animals. A family forms with strong camaraderie. The tradition of cowboy culture is alive and well at the fair and rodeo. Every rodeo begins with a prayer and the national anthem. Our 4-H members understand the value of a handshake and hard work. It doesn’t get much better than that. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a good funnel cake at least once at the fair? My advice Hold yourself to a standard of grace, not perfection. No one is perfect.

Sheriff: We were not ‘in a position to sit around and wait’ Spurlock, Brauchler address questions after reports clear officers in shooting death of man who killed deputy BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Two separate reports recently released confirmed that the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office believe officers were justified when using lethal force in the Dec. 31 shooting death of a man who killed a deputy. “The CRT report did not surprise me,” Sheriff Tony Spurlock said July 17, one day after the release of the district attorney’s office investigation, which is conducted by a unit called the Critical Response Team. “I think they used the appropriate amount of force necessary to arrest and detain the aggressor.” Matthew Riehl, 37, was killed on New Year’s Eve after a nearly 90-minute standoff with law enforcement early that morning at his Highlands Ranch apartment. Investigators later found more than 180 spent casings inside Riehl’s apartment. The incident began when he opened fire on five officers attempting to place him on a mental health hold, also called an M-1. Deputy Zackari Parrish, 29, was killed in what authorities say was
an ambush attack on officers. The wounded officers were Deputy Michael Doyle, 28; Deputy Taylor Davis, 30; Deputy Jeffrey Pelle, 32; and Tom O’Donnell, a Castle Rock police officer shot during a SWAT raid on Riehl’s home later that morning. Spurlock — who joined District Attorney George Brauchler for interviews with the media July 17 — hopes there are more questions he can answer in the future. Riehl was a former attorney and veteran who suffered post-traumatic Spurlock stress disorder.His family attempted to get him treatment at a Veterans Affairs hospital and frequently asked law enforcement to conduct welfare checks on Riehl as his mental health deteriorated following a 2009 deployment to Iraq, investigative reports say. According to a sheriff ’s office homicide report, obtained by Colorado Community Media on July 16, detectives found a court order from 2014 showing Riehl was scheduled for an involuntary commitment hearing
in Wyoming, but the hearing was canceled. A sheriff ’s office detective was unable to obtain court records explaining “what exactly led to the determination that Matthew was not appropriate for this proceeding” during the homicide investigation, the report says. The report claims a local prosecutor told a Douglas County detective who had traveled to Wyoming that he’d need a subpoena to get the confidential court files, and the matter would end up before a judge. A court-assigned lawyer on the case also reportedly told the detective he’d billed the state for 2 1/2 hours of work and met Riehl for roughly one hour. VA hospital records showed Riehl was “functioning satisfactorily” when on medication, the lawyer told the detective, according to the report. This was also his personal impression of Riehl. Spurlock said he still plans to pursue the court documents, which will require “an abundance of administrative work.” Stopping the threat Had Riehl been involuntarily committed in Colorado, Spurlock said he may not have obtained so many weapons. Each of the 15 weapons law enforcement found in Riehl’s apartment were legally purchased,
according to a joint investigation from the sheriff ’s office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Brauchler emphasized the CRT report only examines if the use of lethal force was justifiable in Riehl’s death, but he and Spurlock answered lingering questions about the case. Both men said deputies had reason to enter the apartment in an attempt to place Riehl on a mental health hold, and that the choice to place him on an M-1 hold was the right one. The shooting began as officers entered Riehl’s apartment while responding to the second 911 call from his residence that morning. Riehl made both emergency calls. His behavior escalated from the first to second 911 calls made that morning, they said, in which he’d started throwing items from the apartment and making loud noises. He also had weapons and was known to be hostile toward law enforcement. With those and other factors combined, deputies determined Riehl was a danger to himself or others. “At a minimum, they had consent to go into that apartment from the roommate,” Brauchler said.

Fair organizers boost entertainment for 100th celebration Douglas County event has run consecutively since 1918 BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
This is a big year for the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo — 2018 is the event’s 100th celebration. The annual event kicks off on Aug. 2 and runs through Aug. 5 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Drive in Castle Rock. The key word is celebration. Organizers are careful not to call it the “100th anniversary” of the fair and rodeo. County officials — a county spokeswoman, two fair board members and a county archivist — explained the fair began years before 1918, but thanks to multiple factors, such as wars, lack of organization and funding, the fair was not a consecutive, annual event until that year. One of the earliest known events was in fact a “butter fair” in Castle Rock, advertised in 1874. Alyssa Carver, an archivist with Douglas County Libraries, said local government was still cementing itself in those early years. Douglas County was founded in 1861 and drew the boundaries its maintains today in 1874. Before then, the county was a long, eastern-stretching stripe reaching to the modern-day borders of Kansas, Carver said. “The school district didn’t even organize until 1958, the way it is now,” she said. Carver sifted through a box of historic fair programs, also called premiums, at the Castle Rock library on July 18. The collection is spotty before 1918, she said, but fairly comprehensive from that point on. So, with 100 consecutive celebrations of the fair and rodeo, organizers are trying to make its centennial event the best yet. Debbie Mills and Pam Spradlin, both fair board members, said they’ve worked hard to incorporate new forms of entertainment this year. The 2018 vendor fair is now dubbed the “Vintage Marketplace” and will bring in more craft and specialty items than in years past. Mills said people can expect boutiques, artisans and a sterling silver and turquoise jewelry designer from New Mexico she is particularly excited to see coming to town. They’ve also revamped the carnival and are near doubling the number of rides available for people, from eight to 14. When people get hungry, Mills and Spradlin are proud to say they’ve thought of that, too. The fair will still offer traditional carnival foods, but organizers are also bringing in food trucks, a modern approach to providing healthier options. The women said this was a direct result of community feedback calling for lighter meals. SEE FAIR, P10

Castle Rock family inspects La Veta property damaged in wildfire BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Liberatores started their 2 1/2 hour journey to La Veta at nearly 11:30 a.m. on July 15. The Castle Rock family of three packed into their Jeep and traveled south along Interstate 25, on their way to inspect their Paradise Acres property damaged in the Spring Creek Fire. Slowly, the rolling green hills of southern Douglas County faded to golden, arid-looking fields as they made their way between Colorado Springs, Pueblo and ultimately into Spanish Peaks Country. Once in La Veta, a sleepy town of roughly 800 that looks up to the Spanish Peaks themselves, the Liberatores — Jim, Kim and their 9-year-old daughter, Francesca — made a pit stop to gather information about disaster relief assistance from a Red Cross booth. From there, traveling west on U.S. Highway 160, the family saw its first signs of the Spring Creek Fire — swaths of green, summer trees lining hillsides interspersed with areas of blackened timbers. The pattern continued, Kim noted as they reached their subdivision of Paradise Acres, with green and black patches covering the countryside like camouflage. On their property, things changed.
Their cabin stood, singed on the south side where their two-story garage had been. After the fire came through, the garage burned to a pile of rubble. Their cabin, although tidy and neat inside, smelled of musk and smoke. The fire, which scorched more than 100,000 acres, had swept through Paradise Acres on the Fourth of July. Walking through acreage surrounding the cabin felt like walking through a black and white photo — everything on a charred grayscale. Within a roughly half-mile radius of the cabin, some homes went seemingly unscathed, and others looked to be total losses. Jim and Kim walked freely throughout the hollowed forest. Kim was there roughly two weeks before the fire reached Paradise Acres, when the forest was so thick she could not pass anywhere except on trails, she said. On July 15, the trio hiked in-between stumps and fallen logs, and atop soil that felt more like soot or sand underfoot. “It’s completely discombobulating,” Jim said. Francesca didn’t know what to think of it all, she said. The family’s next step would be hearing from their insurance company what could be done for any smoke damage inside and when the garage could be replaced. Kim was grateful their home survived but the loss of nature would take time to process, she said. “That’s hard to see,” Kim said. “It’s surreal.”
Paradise Acres is a subdivision near La Veta. The Spring Creek fire swept through the area on July 4, leveling some homes while leaving others with next to no damage.
The two-story garage on the Liberatore property contained ATVs and equipment. All was lost in the Spring Creek fire.

Daniels Park improvements unveiled Paved road, more parking bolster facility near Castle Pines BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Officials from Douglas County and the City and County of Denver came together July 20 at Daniels Park to celebrate an improvement project that, at least in concept, began 20 years ago. The park is owned by the City and County of Denver and located west of Castle Pines in unincorporated Douglas County. A recently completed $3.6 million project added three miles of buck fencing along a newly paved Daniels Park Road, 1.8 miles of bison fencing, roughly two miles of soft trail and 50 parking spaces throughout the park. “Denver was proud to partner with Douglas County to make this happen,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “Together we’re going to continue to build great things and make this a great area to visit.” Officials estimated the park would open by end-of-day on July 24. Daniels Park is home to a bison
herd that roams the area and boasts views of the Front Range, including notable local attractions like the Cherokee Ranch & Castle and to the south, Pikes Peak. The area is a popular destination for sightseers, hikers and families, said Charles Herman, the Daniels Park caretaker of three years. “It gets really busy,” he said. “The weekends are a little bit busier and people come out here at sunset.” Castle Pines Mayor Tera Radloff said Daniels Park Road was used as a cut-through before the project began and her constituents reported speeding as a frequent issue. Brad Eckert, a project manager with Denver Parks and Recreation, said the old Daniels Park Road was a 30-foot-wide dirt roadway and “straight as an arrow.” In addition to speeding, it wasn’t uncommon for drivers to end up in the ditch when the road was muddy, Eckert said. Officials hope paving, curves, fencing and a speed limit of 25 mph will slow travelers down and increase safety. “The intent was to create more of a park-type experience,” he said. Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas, chair of the threemember board, said the project would not have been possible without staff and previous commissioners who worked to form a 2008

Conversation about park improvements first started in the late 1990s. “It’s totally different,” Herman said. “I think it will help with the overall cleanliness of the park. I think people will want to respect it more now.” As part of the Daniels Park improvement project, roughly 50 parking spaces were added in several lots along the road.

You don’t say — officers go viral with lip sync Area departments aim to show human side of public guardians BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Police departments across the Denver suburbs have been facing a new challenge — a lip sync challenge. In between busting criminals, Denver-area cops have been busting moves in the viral social media challenge. Cpl. Jessica Chaine of the Lone Tree Police Department brought the challenge to Lone Tree after seeing it sweep local police forces across the country. She said she wanted to take on the challenge to help humanize officers but also to send a strong message. “They’re to show people that we’re just normal people who love our jobs,” Chaine said, “and this is a way to show that in a fun way.” Chaine’s original video of her and Cpl. Jeff Gould lip-syncing Carrie Underwood’s “The Champion” featuring the rapper Ludacris, in a LTPD squad car, took off online with more than 150,000 views. The video tagged almost every area

COURTESY PHOTO police department, and some have responded with videos of their own. The Castle Rock Police Department entered the challenge with Miley Cyrus’ party anthem “Party in the USA.” The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office entered the fray with an entry featuring Toby Keith’s “Should’ve
been a cowboy.” The Wheat Ridge Police Department added their own sync-anddance with “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons. “We really try to illustrate that community partnership on those social media pages,” said WRPD public information officer Sara Spaulding.
Spaulding said the challenge has provided a unique opportunity to expand their reach on social media. She said the department sometimes relies on people to engage on social media to help with certain cases like kidnappings or missing people. “It’s not only to build relationships on more of a daily basis, but we really rely on the community to have them help us,” she said. “That’s one of the important ways social media can help us.” Police departments in Greeley and Greenwood Village have also posted their own versions of the lip sync challenge, each trying to outdo the last. But some police departments declined to take part. In a separate wave of the lip sync challenge, Abeline (Texas) Police Chief Stan Standridge posted on the department’s Facebook page July 2 declining to accept the “countless tags,” to do the lip sync challenge. “If we say yes to lip-sync’ing, then we say no to more pressing matters,” the Facebook post reads. Chaine believes the challenge is still a useful method to reach the community. Spaulding agrees. “We’re just happy to serve our community,” Chaine said. “We want them to know we’re just like them. I think it’s important for them to realize we’re people too.”

Deputies spoke with Riehl’s roommate prior to going inside. The roommate is seen telling officers he was the primary lease holder in body camera footage, and later provided them a key to enter the apartment so they could conduct the M-1 hold, according to investigative reports. “We were not really in a position just to sit around and wait,” Spurlock said. Brauchler considered the issue from a different perspective — what if officers had done nothing that night, despite the two calls for service, escalating behavior and consent from Riehl’s roommate to go inside? Had Riehl gone on to hurt himself or others, Brauchler said, “I don’t think the public would tolerate or understand that either.” Spurlock said based on a Periscope video filmed during the shooting, Riehl “had completely lost contact with the real world” as he continued to fire at Parrish and other officers throughout the morning.
Questioning the system Brauchler and Spurlock also addressed laws they believe could improve the mental health system. For one, Colorado mental health hold laws are a failed system, they said. Both supported a failed legislative attempt in May to pass a “Red Flag” bill, which would have allowed relatives, household members and law enforcement to ask a judge to order the removal of firearms from anyone posing a “significant risk” to themselves or others, according to the bill’s language. Spurlock said each time law enforcement encountered Riehl he was coming up or down from an acute mental episode and didn’t meet current criteria for a mental health hold. The law as it stands today hangs on the word “imminent” and requires people be an immediate threat to themselves or others before being involuntarily detained, Spurlock said. “The law sets a very high bar,” Brauchler said, adding not all who need help for acute mental health issues meet the high threshold. “I think what it’s proving is the status quo isn’t working.”

With livestock shows running each day, barns open to the public and hundreds of fair exhibits on display, it’s an opportunity for families from the city and country alike to learn about the industry behind food, clothes and so many more facets of life, he said. Partridge also gave credit to the fair board and foundation, and all volunteers who “put hours into this to make it a great event for the public.” “That is truly,” Partridge said, “when the agricultural ranching and farming heritage comes to life.”
Before 1918, there was more than one “first annual” Douglas County Fair, as shown here in early fair programs. The event was not held consecutively until 1918. JESSICA GIBBS

Some families simply don’t have the extra money. That’s why the Strive to Thrive Resource Fair was created.

As the decision on whether to put a tax measure on the November ballot nears, the Douglas County School Board hosted a special meeting for charter school leaders to voice their needs. Several community members and teachers said in all their years at the district, they had never seen anything like it. “Since I started coming to board meetings in 2010, I’ve never seen all of the charter leadership together in one room brought together by the board,” retired teacher Gary Colley said. About 40 principals, directors, board members and educators from the district’s 18 charter schools sat at tables with either a district staff member or a board of education member at the July 16 workshop, held at the district’s administrative building in Castle Rock. Also in attendance was the district’s new superintendent, Thomas Tucker. The goal of the two-hour meeting was for the school board to

gather information on what charter schools would use funds for should a bond measure be placed on the November ballot. A bond would generate money to address capital needs across the district, such as building repairs and security measures. Outlined in the district’s Master Capital Plan, capital needs are categorized into four tiers. Tier one needs are repairs that if not addressed could potentially close a school, such as boilers and firealarm systems. According to the district’s Long Range Planning Committee, which studies capacity needs, charter schools have $2.7 million worth of tier one needs and neighborhood schools have $71.5 million. “Those are essential to the occupancy of the building and a safe learning environment,” Richard Cosgrove, director of planning and construction, said at the workshop. At a June 6 board meeting, the seven-member school board approved a resolution to include charter schools in 100 percent of a mill levy override, used for programming and teacher pay. The board has not yet made a decision if an MLO will be placed on the November ballot.

Owning a healthy self-image helps make solid connections
i s f s fi S i t
l a N a w a “ ho is your best friend?” e Suzanne, one of our comn munity readers, posed this t question to her 10-year-old grandson. As he thought about it, he listed a about ten kids he would consider to be his best friend, and then he a WINNING said, “Wait a minute, I am b number one. I am my own a WORDS best friend.” Suzanne summed it up best when she shared this with me as she stated that it took her years to figure this out and that her grandson was light-years ahead of her. Thank you Suzanne, I appreciate you. Michael Norton Although friends are an important part of our lives, especially the right kinds of friends and people we surround ourselves with, we must first be true to ourselves and have a healthy self-image of who we are. We need to believe in ourselves and know what it is that we bring to a friendship or relationship before we go out trying to determine who our best friend is or what others may bring to the friendship or relationship. There has been so much written about this topic, and there are so many quotes that are relevant to having a healthy selfimage, and I would like to share a little about what I have seen and learned over the years about owning our own healthy self-image. Dr. Joyce Brothers said, “An individual’s self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change. A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life.” David Mattson says it this way in his book “The Sandler Success Principles,” “You can only perform in your roles in a manner consistent with how you see yourself conceptually.”

And when it comes to a healthy selfimage and friendship I think Zig Ziglar says it best, “If you go out looking for friends, you’re going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.” If we go back to Suzanne’s grandson and his reply that he is his own best friend, he is so well positioned to go out and be a friend to others. One of the greatest lessons I have learned from the folks mentioned above as well as Dr. Denis Waitley and Earl Nightingale and many others is that we all have riches inside of us. Sometimes we go looking for riches elsewhere or try and find an identity through someone else or something else, when all we really need to do is realize that we all have gifts, talents, resources, virtues, and abilities already within us. All we must do is tap into those gifts and talents, bring them to the surface and believe in ourselves, our virtues and our abilities.
LETTERS FROM PAGE 12
The First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of...” So which is it? Government can’t make us follow a specific religion or stop us from following a religion? The issue of separation of church and state was raised by Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 Letter to the Danbury CT Baptist Association. He talked about his “sovereign reverence” for the “wall of separation.” The irony? Congress has its own chaplain beginning each session with a prayer. Outside and inside of the United States Supreme Court are posted the 10 Commandments! Yet a federal judge says a group of kids can’t raise money for a mission trip because it infringes on someone else’s rights. No one forced to donate. Just asked... to donate. In this day and age where we worry about violence in our schools, where kids spend hours hours playing video games, a judge says we can’t allow some kids to do something positive. To help some kids far less fortunate. To hopefully make a difference for a better world. Brian Olson Highlands Ranch There’s conservative bias, too In reading the back and forth on media bias I noticed something interesting. What I noticed was that every time someone complains of media bias it is always liberal media bias. So I wondered, what about the conservative media bias? Isn’t media bias the same on both sides? The premier conservativethinking outlet, Fox News, is regularly labeled the most inaccurate of all the primary, large news outlets by respected, independent fact-check organizations. If we think back to the very found-
Over the years I have met with many people and customers and have had people challenge me about this concept, claiming that they don’t have gifts and talents or abilities. And I can happily say that after spending just a little bit of time with them, some longer than others, most come around and see that they really are special, they have more to offer than they believed, and understand how important it is to see themselves in a positive and healthy light. So how about you? Do you have a strong and healthy self-image? Not the egotistical and self-centered kind, but a healthy self-image that when brought to the surface can brighten the darkest days and shine a little extra light on the world. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can see ourselves in a better way and own our healthy self-image, it really will be a better than good day. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the president of the Zig Ziglar Corporate Training Solutions Team, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
ing of Fox News, Roger Ailes said their news would be reported with a conservative perspective — that was to be their niche. In other words, he was telling his audience they would be biased! So why are these folks, who are so convinced the media is biased, not reporting the bias on Fox, for example. I find there is bias, and some outlets do a better job of attempting to balance their reporting than others. The only foolproof way to adjust for bias is to view/read/listen to a variety of sources — and to form one’s own opinion. The worst way is to get 90 percent of your content from one admittedly biased source, which is what I have found most who complain of media bias are doing. Paul Mauro Castle Pines Pointing out bias is important My thanks to George Sullivan, of Centennial, for his excellent letter to the editor earlier this month. He stated what I wanted to say, but more elequently than I might have. He pointed out that President Trump is only enforcing laws and decrees put forth by previous administrations. I was delighted that Greg Neirling of Centennial got his comment on today’s journalism published in the paper’s same edition. Two conservative opinions on one page! When I count the responses in the “officials react” column, usually the Democrats outnumber the Republicans. And when they are equal, some of the Republicans are merely mouthing liberal opinions. We call them RINOs — Republican in name only. So I can see the bias even in our local Colorado Community Media. To change that, conservatives need to vote in November. And read your local paper carefully and let them know when you see opinions masquerading as facts. Mary Ann McCoy Lone Tree

They hold 8 ounces. I know there are larger mugs, but I never want the drink to cool off, and that’s what happens if I increase to 12 or 16. I have a confession: There’s a microwave here in my office, just in case my coffee does cool off. I can’t have that. If someone serves me a cool cup of coffee, it makes me boiling mad. Forget about breakfast: Coffee is the most important meal of the day. If you don’t like coffee or you can’t drink coffee, I understand. But if I found out that my wife didn’t drink coffee, it would be grounds for a divorce. Remember “Percolator Twist,” a one-hit wonder by Billy Joe and the Checkmates in 1962? It was a spin-off of a Maxwell House television commercial jingle.
My coffee maker is top of the line. It has a lot of perks. After a couple cups of coffee, I hop. Next year, someone will say the opposite: “Drinking two to three cups of coffee shortens your life by 12 percent.” My longevity will be right back where it started from. But for now, I feel good about my favorite beverage. “Coffee drinking can be part of a healthy diet,” the report says. Around here, it’s the Soup of the Day. Remember that other old song? “So let’s have another cup of coffee, and let’s have another cup of coffee.” I guess you could say I’m well grounded.

children,” Highlands Ranch resident Meghan Maxwell said. “They are great companions and fill my life with laughter and cuddles. They know when I’m upset or had a bad day and they follow me around and give me extra love.” For children, caring for a pet can teach valuable life traits, including responsibility, kindness and patience, says the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Pets can contribute to a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence, and help develop trusting relationships with other people. “A child who learns to care for an animal, and treat it kindly and patiently, may get invaluable training in learning to treat people the same way,” the academy says. Specially trained dogs protect and assist people with disabilities or serious illnesses. They guide individuals with sensory issues, such as blindness or hearing loss. They respond to seizures in people with epilepsy.
here are annual events that have become so popular over the years that it can be difficult to imagine there was a time when they weren’t a key part of the year. But back in 2001, when the first Colorado Dragon Boat Festival was hosted at Sloan’s Lake, there wasn’t any inkling that it would become the major event it is now. “We weren’t expecting it to be as successful as it COMING has,” said Sara ATTRACTIONS Moore, executive director of Dragon 5280, the umbrella organization that encompasses the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, the Colorado Dragon Film Festival, and the Emerging Leaders Program. “That Clarke Reader first festival there was about 16,000 in attendance and now we are expecting more than 120,000 attendees.” This year’s free festival is at Sloan’s Lake, Sheridan Boulevard and West 17th Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 28, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 29. The event will feature two days of competitive dragon boat racing between about 37 teams of varying skill levels. In addition to the races, there will be five different stages with a variety of performances going on, a children’s area and performers from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia and Denver’s sister city. Gourmands will also want to check out the two food courts — the Taste of Asia court, with more than three dozen vendors representing 13 countries, and a marketplace for visitors to do their own shopping. One of the main focuses of this year’s festival is sustainability, and as such, organizers are encouraging people to avoid driving to the area. There is a free shuttle to take attendees to and from the Auraria Campus so they don’t have to find parking around Sloan’s Lake. There is also the light rail that stops at the campus. The festival is open for everyone, and not only is it a great time, but it’s a chance to learn more about a vital cultural force. “When we first started the festival, it was because we wanted the general public to see the contributions of Asian Pacific American community,” Moore said.

hannon Whitecotton’s six dogs have taught her patience, tolerance, how to love unconditionally.

She bought the timid puppy for $100 at a pet shop. It had been there nine months and would soon have been sent to a pound if no one took it home. “Her eyes were watering and narrow from the sunlight – she had only been accustomed to the fluorescent bulbs in the pet store for the majority of her life,” said Beieler, of Aurora. “Every month that Stella and I were together she got a little more confidence, a little less awkward and scared.” When people commend Beieler for saving her dog’s life, she tells them her dog saved hers. Whitecotton’s and Beieler’s stories are reflective of the impact an animal can have on a person or family. About 44 percent of all households

They help paralyzed people with tasks and mobility. Specially trained dogs are also used in clinical settings. In 1984, Children’s Hospital Colorado implemented its Prescription Pet program, a dog-assisted therapy and visitation program. Owners volunteer to take their trained dogs — which are required to pass a screening and get approval from a veterinarian — to patients’ rooms at several of the hospital’s campuses. The visits range from a few minutes to 15 minutes or longer, the hospital’s website says. Therapy dogs used in counseling and some types of physical therapy help regulate and calm patients, said Dr. Robin Gabriels, program director of Neuropsychiatric Special Care at Children’s Hospital. She primarily works with kids with autism and a psychiatric diagnosis. “Dogs can bridge rapport building with therapist,” Gabriels said. “Dog behaviors can increase a child’s playfulness and positive mood, providing a stimulus for positive interaction and brightening mood.” A study published by the American Psychological Association in 2011 found that pet owners were just as close to important people in their lives as to their animals. The researchers found that pets benefited the lives of their humans by serving as “an important source of emotional support.” When Amanda Arnce had back surgery, leaving her bedridden for weeks, she bonded with her sister’s kitten, named Kitten. Now, 15 years later, Kitten belongs to Arnce.

Lone Tree Arts Center books impressive season Performances launch in September and run through next May BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
R&B, blues, ballet, “Bella Gaia: Beautiful Earth,” Barynya (Russian singing and dancing troupe) and more are included in the wide-ranging season’s programs at Lone Tree Arts Center from September 2018 through May 2019. “Arts in the Afternoon” programming seems expanded and the Lone Tree Symphony offers early ticket access to Lone Tree subscribers, who can choose programs now and enjoy early access to the best theatrical series tickets, as well. (Subscriber tickets are discounted 15 percent.) A sampler from the more than three dozen programs scheduled now (more will probably be added): Vocalist Lannie Counts, who starred in last season’s “Muscle Shoals — I’ll Take You There,” opens the season at 8 p.m. on Sept. 15, with a program of
“The Greatest R&B Songs Ever Written,” accompanied by a sixpiece band. And soon thereafter, on Sept. 29, audiences are invited to a “Sing-Along Grease” film showing and 1950s movie night that includes a costume contest, sock hop and more. The holidays will bring Gail Bliss with “A Classic Country Christmas” on Nov. 28; “The Doo Wop Christmas Project” on Dec. 2; and a revisit of Lone Tree’s production, “Home for the Holidays,” Dec. 19-23, that includes a special guest appearance of that jolly gentleman. The always popular “National Geographic Live!” programs include four appearances this season with live speakers and the astonishing images National Geo is known for: • “Into the Arctic Kingdom” with Florian Schulz, Sept. 21 at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. • “When Women Ruled the World” with Kara Cooney on Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. • “Ocean Soul” with Brian Skerry on Dec. 27 at 7:30 p.m. • “My Wild Life” with Bertie Gregory on Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. The 10-part Arts in the Afternoon programming includes three from the regular season,
plus a variety of musical, instrumental, dance, folk and other performers. Each program is at 1:30 p.m. on a Wednesday, with the exception of the Bertie Gregory National Geographic program, “My Wild Life,” which is on Friday, Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. A Classic Albums Live band will perform “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” — the entire album, with no gimmicks or costumes, just those favorite numbers, at 8 p.m. on Jan. 19, and Shaun Booth’s “Unauthorized Biography Series” will honor Martin Luther King Jr. and other cultural icons on Jan. 23 at 7:30 p.m. The Mary Louise Lee Orchestra will appear with “Respect: A Tribute to Aretha Franklin” at 8 p.m. on Feb. 2, performing Franklin’s best-known songs and some less-recognized numbers that show her amazing range. Classical ballet lovers will be interested in the Russian National Ballet’s Feb. 2 performance of what probably is the most famous one: “Swan Lake,” at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 12. “Bella Gaia: Beautiful Earth” is an immersive, multi-media performance, with projections of NASA imagery from outer
space, inspired by the astronauts. Onstage live music and dance from around the world accompanies these images. On a different track: “Ranky Tanky” is a band of South Carolina musicians with a fresh brand of Americana, who appear at 8 p.m. April 26. “Snap,” declared the best magic show at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, is a Korean production with mystery, fantasy and illusion, at 1:30 and 7 p.m. on May 5, and Classic Albums Alive returns with Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Chronicle, Vol. 1” at 8 p.m. May 11, as the season nears its end. Lone Tree Symphony’s concerts on Sept. 28, Dec. 7 and 8, March 1 and May 3 may be included in the season ticket purchases, as noted above. Pick up a season brochure at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, or see lonetreeartscenter.org to order — or call the box office at 720-509-1000. We are told this week that single tickets are also on sale, should one wish to be sure of a seat for a particular favorite — some do sell out in advance! Enjoy planning ahead for entertainment through the year.

From courtroom to camouflage Elbert County prosecutor gets ready for second deployment BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Deputy district attorney Rory Devlin, who currently serves as the 18th Judicial District’s sole prosecutor for Elbert County, is preparing to swap out his suit and tie for camouflage attire, military food and helping the people of Afghanistan establish rules of law. Devlin is a captain in the Colorado Army National Guard, and has been called up for a second deployment, with a departure date of early October. According to Devlin, who was raised in Aurora and now lives in Lone Tree, there are a lot of similarities between serving the people of Elbert County and the people of Afghanistan. “I would say that both of my jobs are high pressure,” said Devlin. “You’re working all the time to try and protect the public at the DA’s office, and that’s the same thing we’re trying to do in Afghanistan.” Part of his job, he said, is to work directly with Afghans to try and build rule of law, so they can protect their own public by creating a legal system that is fair. “There’s a lot of common ground.
Rory Devlin, a deputy district attorney with the 18th Judicial District, will be deployed to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty with the Colorado Army National Guard, where he serves as a captain. COURTESY OF 18TH DISTRICT COURT They have a lot of the same problems as here, but they are obviously behind economically,” said Devlin. “They want to see their kids grow up in a safe environment and improve their

families. We’re trying to help them do that through the rule of law.” Devlin, who has been a practicing attorney since 2012, enlisted in the National Guard in 2010, and participated in ROTC in law school while attending the University of Denver. He received an undergraduate degree in theology at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. While there are similarities in his job descriptions, Devlin said there is always a risk of physical harm while deployed. “There’s an inherent danger of the outside groups, individuals turning against the forces,” said Devlin. “Basically, when you move outside of military bases you’re at risk of IEDs and ambushes. Your biggest asset is the relationship you form with the individuals you’re mentoring.” The dangers are worth it, according to Devlin. “My particular area is their military justice. If they want to have a court-martial on one of their soldiers I advise them through that process,” said Devlin. “We teach them to be good stewards of the property and the people they have. No matter what happens when we leave, the fact is we have changed the place fundamentally.” George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th District and Republican candidate for attorney general of Colorado, said he knew when he hired Devlin that he would be called up for deployment, and the DA’s office will support him in every way possible during the nine months he’s in Afghanistan. “Rory was really my first hire,” said Brauchler. “We are very supportive of veterans and active military, and we are going to do everything we can to accommodate service to our country.
We’ll take care of Rory the best we can, and will send him way more care packages than he’ll ever want to receive.” Brauchler, who is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, has been in the military since 1992, and said he deliberately seeks candidates for jobs who are in the reserve, guard or former active-duty military. “When I got elected into this office there were no active guardsmen. When I took over I knew I was going to try and recruit a bunch of reserve and guard and former active-duty JAG people, becaue I know what they bring to the table,” said Brauchler. “About 10 percent, if not more, of our crew are active reservists.” Devlin is the second attorney to be deployed in the department. Currently Capt. Monique Washington is serving in Iraq. Brauchler said the department will take care of things the best they can in Devlin’s absence, as well as make up the difference between active pay and what Devlin earns currently. “We never put them in a position to make less while serving,” said Brauchler. “Rory’s a great attorney, and the risk he’s taking is real. He’s going over there to do a job that puts him in harm’s way. I want to honor and respect that.” The DA’s office regularly sends care packages to Washington and will soon add Devlin to that list. Brauchler said soldiers working in his always like to receive letters from community members back home, and anyone wishing to write them should direct letters to the office at 6450 S. Revere Parkway, Centennial, CO 80111. “Rory’s been a tremendous asset to the office and the community. I want him back as soon and safely as possible,” said Brauchler.

Exploration of Flight opens at Centennial Airport Wings Over the Rockies’ new attraction is kids’ treat BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
f kids leave Wings Over the Rockies’ Exploration of Flight center at Centennial Airport with a new passion for aviation, then everything will have gone according to plan. Exploration of Flight, the gleaming new annex of Colorado’s official air and space museum, seeks to get young people fired up about the bright future of aviation in the state. “We’re facing an incredible
shortage of aerospace and aviation personnel, at the same time the industry is booming here,” said Wings Over the Rockies CEO John Barry. Exploration of Flight boasts an array of attractions to set young imaginations soaring: flight simulators, virtual reality, spinning gyroscope chairs and a viewing area to watch traffic at one of the nation’s busiest small airports. Visit explorationofflight.org for location, hours, events and contact info.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Nas, Black Star and Pusha T at Red Rocks As a genre, rap is entering the stage where some of its biggest stars are entering what could be considered “classic rock” status. For so many years the genre was all about the newest figures on the scene, and while that’s still a major factor, some of rap’s most recognizable voices are becoming the elder statesmen.

Taking on this role doesn’t mean these artists are out of relevant things to say, however. If you need proof of this, I recommend heading out to Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, to see Nas, Black Star (Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and Talib Kweli), Pusha T, Brother Ali and Royce Da 5’9. For my money, Pusha T has released the best rap album of the year in May with his third solo release, “Daytona,” and Black Star reuniting is something all rap fans should be excited about and makes a perfect addition to this bill.

Entertainment at elevation is Colorado sensation BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One might hike or fish all day in the beautiful Rockies and still enjoy a colorful show in the evening at one of several theaters in nearby mountain towns. Last week, we drove up to a family house in Tabernash, in the Grand Valley, then continued north to Grand Lake for an evening at the handsome 250-seat Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre, for a performance of “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.” (This time, we failed to see the town’s resident moose strolling along the main drag, but maybe next time ...) • Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre has operated in Grand Lake for many years and attracts strong professional actors from New York, Chicago and elsewhere who enjoy a cool mountain summer. They are
also performing in repertory: “Annie,” “The Full Monty” and “Pump Boys and Dinettes” through August, with the last-named running through September. “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” with book and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak, won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Musical. It really is a clever piece about a man named Monty Navarro (Russell Mernagh) who learns he is ninth in line for an earldom behind a string of stuffy D’Ysquiths. How to remedy that situation?? A funny and skilled Josh Kellman plays all nine aristocrats in a fast-paced tour de force performance. (Kellman is in his seventh year of summer shows at RMRC and director Michael Querio is also the theater’s executive artistic director, with a number of summers under his belt.)

order tickets in advance at RockyMountainRep.com, 970-627-3421. • Also well-established as a place to find professional productions through the summer is the Creede Repertory Company. Set in an old silver mining town, it is on one of Colorado’s spectacular scenic highways (another set of places to pursue), en route to Lake City. Creede’s season incorporates two theater spaces and includes Neil Simon’s classic, “Barefoot in the Park,” as well as “The Wizard of Oz,” “Dolly Parton’s `9 to 5,’” a kids’ show called “Abandoned Way Out West,” and a twist called “Miss Holmes,” by Christopher M. Walsh. Also scheduled is Tony Meneses’ “Guadalupe in the Guestroom.” • For opera fans, Central City Opera performs in the famous old stone opera house and is an easy day trip from the Denver area. 303-292-6500. • Farther west, through lovely
mountains, is Thingamajig Theatre Company at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, which offers “Legally Blonde,” “West Side Story” “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” 970-731-7469. • Award-winning Theatre Aspen’s season runs until Aug. 5, but is worth remembering for next summer. 970300-4474. • Newer and worthy of note: Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad is a decade old now, offering professional theater year-round on Trinidad’s historic Main Street. scrtheatre@gmail.com, 719-846-4765. • And finally, remember the Colorado Shakespeare Festival on the CU-Boulder campus. “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” “Richard III,” “Edward III,” “Cyrano De Bergerac,” and “You Can’t Take it With You” run in repertory through Aug. 11.

SCHOOL FROM PAGE 11
At the July 16 workshop, charter school leaders voiced concerns over the messaging around a tax measure, how to reach taxpayers who don’t have students in the district, the unique needs of each charter school and how much of a bond measure would be distributed to charters. The conversation was ultimately about the safety and security of the 68,000 students in the school district. “This is really about the unity of all of our children, regardless of where we have been and what we have endured,” said Kendra Hossfeld, principal at North Star Academy in Parker. “This is definitely about the students and we are hopeful this can be passed if we handle it in a very optimistic way but also a way that we can tell families and parents who may not understand the importance that this is about the safety of our kids.” School board President David Ray, who moderated the conversation, came up with two paths to address the capital needs of charter schools in Douglas County. The first would use the district’s process to evaluate capi-
tal needs in charter schools. District staff would visit each charter building to determine the top five needs. In the second path, charter schools would form a representative committee to determine a process for how tax dollars would be distributed for capital needs. “Requests from charters would go to this group for prioritization,” Ray said. Board member Wendy Vogel advocates for both paths, she said. “I think that having staff be able to go and identify the priorities will help us in the determination of the ultimate dollar amounts and then having a group of charters to actually make the determination of how that is distributed, it makes sense to me,” she said. The school board will continue its conversation about the specifics of a bond and MLO. A decision on whether a tax measure will be placed on the ballot this fall is expected to be made at an Aug. 7 school board meeting beginning at 6 p.m. at the district’s administrative building, 620 Wilcox St., Castle Rock. “Obviously, we have the tough challenge of making the tough decision and we recognize that,” Ray said. “Hopefully, if nothing else, you hear tonight it’s 68,000 kids, that’s what we are committed to.”

Renewed Force takes the crown NHRA icon claims 149th career funny car title at Bandimere BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
John Force erased his own doubts and those of other National Hot Rod Association enthusiasts who figured he might not win another race. Force, the 69-year-old NHRA icon and owner of John Force Racing, won his 149th funny car title and collected his 249th career crown when he defeated Ron Capps in the July 22 funny car finals of the Dodge NHRA MileHigh Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. It was the first victory since March 19, 2017 for the NHRA’s all-time wins leader, but his eighth triumph at Bandimere as he became the track’s all-time victory leader. Force was in two accidents and had three motor explosions early this season and even failed to qualify for an April race in Houston. However, he looked like the John Force of old at Bandimere as he defeated Matt Hagan, Cruz Pedregon and Courtney Force, his 30-year-old daughter and top-qualifier, to reach the finals. The 16-time NHRA champion was quick at the start of the race against Capps and had a winning elapsed time of 3.831 at 316.45 mph to collect another Wally trophy. SEE FORCE, P29

oss Macdonald is playing golf this summer like I wished I could play. He is confident and has learned not to carry around a bad shot, missed putt or a bogey for the rest OVERTIME of a round. Macdonald, after being 1-over-par on the front nine, shot a remarkable 7-under par 29 on the back side of the Bridges Golf and Country Club in Montrose on Jim Benton July 15 to win the Colorado Golf Association’s Western Chapter Championship for the second straight year. He finished the final round with a 65 for a two-day total of 6-underpar 136 and a 9-stroke victory in the tournament. When I used to play golf more than once every few years, I had a modest goal. I figured an average of five shots each hole and 45 for nine holes on the front side brought around the possibility of coming in with a 90 with few good shots on the back nine. Macdonald, the Castle Rock golfer who tied for second as a redshirt University of Colorado sophomore last May at the Pac 12 championships with a 12-under-par 272, had an amazing finish with two eagles, three birdies and four pars as he used accurate 7-iron approach shots and only 11 putts on the final nine holes. He has now won four CGA events and I can’t help wondering what the former Valor Christian golfer was thinking as he stayed patient and flirted with going under 30 strokes for the final nine holes. “I got off to a slow start in the final round and I was 1-over through nine holes,” recalled Macdonald. “I wasn’t feeling great. I wasn’t swinging as well as I could. I just happened to really get it going which was cool because that doesn’t happen very often. “I knew I was 6-under (on the back nine going into the 18 hole) and had never shot in the 20s in my life and at that point I was thinking about 29. I hit a good drive and made a birdie.” And what about in hindsight? “Obviously I thought about what if I was three or four under on the front but then I don’t know if I would have heated up like that.” SEE BENTON, P28

BENTON FROM PAGE 27
Macdonald will end the summer playing in the Colorado Open and the CGA State Amateur and hopes to continue playing consistent golf. “Where I’ve gotten a lot better in the last year is getting over those bad holes and those bad shots and not letting it affect me,” he said. “I’m feeling good about my game and I have to keep on working at it. I was getting too mechanical and once I started freeing up and playing golf and not worrying about where the ball is going or could go, I had better results.” Three shots shy Janet Moore of Centennial and Valley County Club teaching pro Sherry Andonian-Smith of Parker turned in consistent scores during the first two rounds of the inaugural U.S. Women’s Senior Open July 12-13 at the Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton. Illinois. Moore and Andonian-Smith each fashioned rounds of 80 and 81 for a 161 two-day aggregate but failed to finish below the cut line which was at 158 strokes. Mile-high drag racing For years, make that all my life, I have listened to how Denver’s elevation affects baseballs, golf balls, tennis balls, a person’s breathing and you name it. So the National Hot Rod Association drivers competing in the Dodge Mile High Nationals, which were held July 20-22 at Bandimere Speedway, also had comments about racing a mile high at the Morrison track. Bandimere racing is unique and a challenge because of the elevation, and members of each team’s crew struggled with the one-time adjustments to create the needed horsepower on the mountain.
Tommy Johnson was a runnerup in four different classes in previous years before this season’s Mile High Nationals. “A lot of people come here hating this race because of the altitude and how hard it is to tune the cars,” said Johnson. “I come here loving this race because things seem to go well. A lot of it is attitude and I look forward to it every year.” Funny Car driver Jack Beckman first raced at Bandimere in 1984 when he was stationed at Lowry Air Force Base and has three wins at track that is nicknamed Thunder Mountain. “There’s only one track carved into a mountain,” he said. “The car never sounds the same, it doesn’t idle the same and it doesn’t accelerate the same. Things are just different and you better have taken the time to prepare yourself. “I always tell people as a driver, there is no other facility you would rather see in your windshield than Denver because it is so dramatic, but as a crew chief there is no facility you would rather see in your rear-view mirror than Denver because nothing you try anywhere else works in Denver.” Looking ahead Mile Split ranked the nation’s top boys cross country teams for the fall season based on the top returning runners from 2017. Mountain Vista was ranked 48th with an average time of 16:18.00 with runner Ethan Rouse, Jack O’Sullivan, Brody Dempsey, Seth Rouse and Aaron Hart. Durango’s boys were 28th.

FORCE FROM PAGE 27
“You all know my story with all the crashes and everything that happened,” said Force. “I was probably my lowest. I was fighting to get back and I never let on to anybody, but I looked like a mess.” Track owner John Bandimere helped Force when he was down. “John called me and said, `we got to talk’ and sent me some stuff to read and he took me down this road, and I said I don’t know if I will get back and win a race. He said you
can and when get to Denver, you’ll be fixed, He didn’t say I would win just that I’d be fixed and go out and show me who John Force is. “And I found myself. I had fire in me because I got tired of hearing myself snivel. I knew I needed to find myself and I did.” Force had inspiration from Kirstie Ennis, a Marine aerial gunner who was injured in an Afghanistan helicopter crash in 2012. She eventually had her left leg amputated. Ennis, in town for Building Homes for Heroes, was introduced to John Force by Courtney Force and Ennis was with the Force team during the three days of

She notched elimination wins over Terry Totten, Scott Palmer and Clay Millican and gave credit to her team. “This was a testament in taking it to the next level and I say that on behalf of the team,” she said. “I have an attitude of gratitude as high as this mountain because they chipped away at it and didn’t let themselves get down early this year when we were in a slump. They didn’t let me get down on myself either.” Greg Anderson’s quick start provided him with a narrow win over Summit Racing teammate Jason Line in the

It was his 91st pro stock career win, his third at Bandimere and he improved his record against Line to 21-17. “I sure hope this starts a winning streak,” said Anderson. “We’ve had some great cars this season but just made mistakes on Sunday. We just haven’t been giving our best effort on Sundays.” Hector Arana Jr. won for the first time since 2015 and collected his 12th career pro stock motorcycle victory by beating Jerry Savoie, who red-lighted. Arana also turned on the red light but .002 seconds later, and his 7.170 pass earned the win.

An Open Letter to Members of Calvary Chapel, and Residents of Castle Rock
At the June 19, 2018 Town Council Hearing Calvary Chapel “won” the battle of constructing a huge church in our residential neighborhood with a very long (400 ft) and very tall (rising to 20 ft) continuous retaining Wall (including traffic barrier etc) right along our property lines. Your West parking lot sits on top, and you can look directly at our roofs in our nice neighborhood. Your Great Ugly Wall was our #1 item we wanted addressed from the beginning, but our neighborhood’s concerns were ignored. Yes, you “won”, but your immediate neighbors, 2 retired couples and 2 young couples with children, collectively “lost” up to $250,000 in property value, not to mention the rest of our neighborhood. The issue was decided with no one from the Town Staff, Planning Commission or Town Council ever visiting the project site (well, OK, our Councilman Jason Bower actually did visit, appeared to grasp the situation, but later did not want to admit being there). We were never against your new church, but it sure hasn’t turned out to be as originally advertised. The Wall is twice as tall as first represented to us and the required mandatory 30 foot set-back has turned out to be just a cruel joke. Yes, you won, (6–0) with considerable help from State Representative Patrick Neville who heard only your side of the story and helped Calvary orchestrate turning a hearing on “facts, logic, rules, and regulations” into one big predetermined “kum-ba-yah session”. Those actions deprived us of our opportunity for a fair hearing to correct the Wall situation. (We were only allowed one shot at this). Just because our Town officials approved your Great Ugly Wall, doesn’t mean it is the right and Christian thing to do. Councilmembers were obviously intimidated, bullied, and under pressure from the State Legislator that you brought into the fray, even before the hearing. This smacks of “playing dirty”. Speaking of dirt -Here’s the problem: DIRT, DIRT, and more DIRT The high East end of your sloping property has quite a “hill” on it. That extra dirt must either be removed (the proper approach) or use the Ron Covington/Calvary method to save money by “grading that excess dirt down to the much lower West end”, right in your neighbors faces, causing an “elevated” outdoor parking lot looming way over our heads. The building code calls for “stairstepping lots and buildings” to “follow the natural slope of the land”. There is nothing “natural” about the way Calvary has elevated its West parking lot, to avoid the expense of moving the dirt off the property as otherwise required. Ron Covington told the neighbors that the “Fire Department” wouldn’t allow a step-down of even a portion of your West parking lot. This is insane! When asked who he talked to, Ron admitted that he himself had not talked to anyone in the Fire Dept about it. The Planning Development group and Bill Detweiler also admitted that they too had “not talked to anyone”, but they did take an
“Action Item” to get back to us with a Fire Dept name (which of course never happened). To us this was an obvious “dodge” just to short-circuit Calvary’s responsibility to step-down the West parking lot. No “variances” were granted by the Town Council – certain building codes were just simply “ignored”. Surely the Fire Department and Calvary could have found a suitable solution. Some time ago, when we obediently allowed your rezoning to occur and kickoff your building drive, we: a) Trusted in our Town Staff to require your compliance with Town building regulations, to prevent this situation. b) Trusted in your Pastor, Dave Love, to keep his promises to work closely and honestly with your new neighbors in making it a project we could like (or at least live with). c) Trusted in repeated statements that “now is not the right time to entertain changes -- that comes later in the process”. But “later” never really happened. After rezoning was complete, we were shut-out of the process, except for 2 extra meetings needed because Calvary and the Town tried to illegally use a neighbor’s property for an access road, without an easement. (The Planning Commission had simply ignored our objections to that illegal access road). Not only was your Great Ugly Wall “allowed”, in violation of certain Castle Rock Town building code instructions (not just “suggestions”), but at the absolute last minute, without warning, Calvary also secretively and vindictively placed the Wall inside the 30 foot mandatory “set-back”, another violation, which ignores limitations to the contrary in Town code (but it sure does rub more dirt in our faces!). But all of this was no problem at all for our non-resident Town Planners, our meaningless Planning Commission, and our Town Council rubber-stampers to just ignore. The 6 ft reduction in the mandatory 30 ft set-back also wipes-out most of the much-touted “native scrub oak coverage” that will no longer exist. Why did your developer’s presentation to Town Council totally avoid showing a detailed representation of the West parking lot and its elevation”?, particularly in comparison to neighboring homes and 5th St?? A visual presentation of that part of your Site Development Plan might have actually caught someone’s attention and supported our objections! Only your church BUILDING actually “steps-down”. Your West parking area, where the slope is actually the steepest is going to be “filled-in” with your excess dirt. That saves you money, buts levels it out well above our heads and 5th St. That is the cause of the Great Ugly Wall. This is not following required code as anyone should read it, and Town Planners know this, since they once indicated they acknowledged this as a problem and would try to solve it, but didn’t. Calvary, and the Town of Castle Rock, has done a “transfer of wealth” here. Your church is being built on the backs of your neighbors, who have really been violated and railroaded here! The most
affected residents on Canyon Drive must hand over significant property values, so Calvary can avoid the true normal cost of their project. Has this “wealth transfer” been blessed by our Town staff and Town Council, yes, they “caved“ and just looked the other way, intimidated by State Representative Patrick Neville who stepped-in and used the power and influence of his office to personally drag your approval over the finish line without further cost to you of following pesky building codes (nice favor!). Neighbors should not be required to donate their money to fund an adjacent church they do not belong to, just because someone didn’t budget properly for building on a difficult, sloping lot they acquired on the cheap and therefore were “given a pass” on adhering to building codes. As it stands, 4 innocent families are being immediately penalized to the tune of $250,000, versus the 1500 eventual Calvary Chapel members (500 families) paying an additional construction cost over time. This is devastating to us, and one dedicated Christian family is already prepared to leave, rather than live with your Great Ugly Wall. Getting the ACLU involved could be a last-ditch measure, since our civil rights have been violated. The expected Calvary church traffic on our residential Street, Canyon Drive, is also a problem, but one we will have to live with. Just be aware please, that 65% of your Calvary traffic will be on Canyon Drive, causing a bottle-neck at Canyon Dr and Woodlands Blvd on Sundays. Only 35% will use the 5th St entrance (due to the “right in-right out” restriction on 5th St). The statement that “only 5% of Calvary Church traffic will use Canyon Drive”, used by both Town Planners and Town Council at the June 19th hearing, was just totally false! The 5% figure was initiated by the poorly written and quite misleading Traffic Report commissioned by Calvary, then erroneously (purposely?) perpetuated by Town Planners and Town Council. Neighbors had a meeting with Town Public Works officials who confirmed the 65% figure, with the same Town Planner present who nonetheless presented the erroneous 5% figure to Town Council. We know this is an “infill” property situation. But extra requirements are supposed to apply to this sensitive situation where non-residential development abuts existing residential properties. We successfully avoided a strip mall, gas station, and apartment buildings, only to end up with this elevated parking lot shoved in our faces by a Church! We feel “quite violated” by how you are building with such a tall Wall/parking lot affecting our homes. We respect your right to build on your property; all we asked of you (and our Town Officials) was to follow Town building codes. Yes, several needed changes were made at our request, none of them big ticket items, and we’re thankful for that. But we are not responsible for your expense of having to build the retaining Wall. Your original proposal of an equally tall dirt berm sloping all the way to our property
lines would never have worked and would have been even uglier. As fellow Christians, we really do want to be able to welcome Calvary Chapel as our new neighbor, but your building practices and tactics have greatly disheartened us. What happened to church tenets such as: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (which of you would gladly accept an elevated parking lot towering over your nice home and blocking your view?) Do not covet that which is thy neighbors (would you not object to someone’s construction short-cuts lifting $250,000 from your wallet?) The only remaining solution to this situation at this point, short of a lawsuit, is in your hands. If you honestly desire to be fair, and not hurt your fellow Christians, please come visit us on Canyon Drive and view your development from our side of the fence, which NO ONE has had the guts to do. While there is still time, please talk about this with your fellow members, and ask your Pastor, and your Development team to voluntarily work with us to modestly redesign your West parking lot and retaining Wall. That would greatly lessen the impact of this one eyesore that most severely impacts our property values and our quality of life. We will try and live with the unexpected size (a Mega Church, 4th largest church in Castle Rock), squeezed into our residential area, the traffic, drainage, and other problematic aspects of your project that may not so immediately and directly threaten our property values and our use and enjoyment of our own property. The $20,000 offered to me by Pastor Love should stay in your building fund. I will add another $5,000 contribution, if your parking lot gets properly redesigned, to show that we are not against your church being in our neighborhood. Respectfully, but struggling with your Church’s actions Richard Weide a 20 yr resident in my home, a retiree, and one of your future neighbors on Canyon Drive Advisory for Castle Rock residents: Castle Rock’s rampant building programs appear to be out of control, and full of pro-developer and anti-citizen bias. Our “Town” is being turned into a “Metropolis”. Non-resident Town planners run this town and they decide which building codes to follow, and which to ignore, and our elected Town Council has become just a rubber stamp. Getting another “feather in your cap” for pushing another project through, should not trump good judgment and following Town building codes. The Citizens of Castle Rock certainly have the deck stacked against them in so many ways, but you can help stop this! Demand change in Town Hall, and do not vote for paper-shuffling, easily intimidated incumbent Council members! Also, demand that Mayoral candidates promise to Drain the Swamp and save our Town.
