NEWS IN A HURRY

JENI WINSLOW

Owner of Headliners Vocals, 8200 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite A, Centennial About me I was born in southern California and moved to Colorado when I was 9 years old. I’ve lived in Highlands Ranch for 22 years. I graduated from Chatfield High School in Littleton. I went to University of Northern Colorado for two years then transferred to Metropolitan State. I was an elementary school teacher for five years. I stayed at home with my kids for a while and owned a Dairy Queen in Littleton for some time. I then got into the corporate world and worked as a program manager for a surrogacy company based out of Boston. I worked from home here. I opened Headliners Vocals in September of 2016. Bringing music to kids Between my husband and I, we have five kids and they are all musically inclined. What we were after was an after-school program for our kids where they could get music coaching in an environment that was really upbeat with current music. We looked around and couldn’t find anything like that. We envisioned a place where parents and kids would come in and say, “This is an awesome place to be.” We definitely are not boring here at Headliners Vocals. We want the kids to feel like rock stars. The kids are under the lights and on stage when they are practicing. The bulk of our business is choir classes. We have nearly 40 choir classes happening after school and on Saturday mornings. We also offer private lessons — we have five private teachers. We have two record-

We haven’t finalized the location yet, but we are looking at ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista high schools. Starting my business One thing that has been really meaningful to me is that so many parents have come in and said that they have been trying to find something that their kid can really connect with. They are constantly thanking us for providing this space because the kids are excited to come here — they have found their passion.

Teacher’s real-life experience brings new perspective BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Helke Farin, doctor-turned-teacher, stands before a classroom of 12 students. On the board she writes a list of letters, symbols and numbers. She then calls on a student to read through what is shorthand for a fictional patient’s medical record. The student, Jaden Figueroa, is eager to decipher what is on the board. Figueroa tells the class what they are working with — a 62-year-old woman who slipped on ice and hit her head. “This is my favorite class,” said Figeuroa, a junior at STEM School and Academy. “I now want to go into the medical field.” The Highlands Ranch school’s anatomy and physiology class is problem-based. Instead of reciting a list of terms, students learn from real-life scenarios and through stories from their teacher, Farin, who received a medical degree at the University of Chicago and completed her residency at Stanford University. Like Farin, many of the teachers at STEM had careers in the field they now teach, said Denise Gliwa, the school’s chief communications officer. Farin has lived in Colorado for 11 years. After being a stay-at-home

mom for many years, she decided to start teaching. This is her first year at STEM, where she teaches biology, human anatomy and physiology. “I felt like this was my calling,” Farin said. “I love the kids — I love the teenagers.” Farin’s class is interactive — students perform skits, use rhymes and practice simple medical exams, such as tapping a knee with a reflex hammer, on one another. “I don’t want them to take the class,” Farin said. “I want them to experience the class.” Her teaching style has made all the difference for her students. “Last time I saw my little cousins, I named every bone in their bodies,” said Maydha Kumar, a ninth-grader. Dan Prehm, a senior, said he is not planning on going into the medical field, but he still benefits from the class. “I’m more of an artist,” he said. “I want to get into animation, so learning about this stuff helps.” Later in the year, Farin hopes to have p other medical professionals, such as a cardiologist or pulmonologist, tell their w e stories to her class. “I think the best way to teach is G through a story,” Farin said. “That sticks with the students more than 50 h terms.” f o p t t t

Backcountry Wilderness Area power line gets initial OK Project is part of Colorado Senate Bill 07-100 portfolio of transmission lines

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Xcel Energy’s proposal for a transmission line that would go through the Backcountry Wilderness Area gained approval from Highlands Ranch neighborhood delegates at a recent Highlands Ranch Community Association board meeting. In response to the project, the HRCA has implemented its Community Involvement Process, which includes public meetings and feedback from the HRCA Board of Directors, delegates and community members. The next public hearing will be at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 1 at Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 S. University Blvd. Xcel is scheduled to present its plan to the Douglas County Planning Commission on Feb. 6. Xcel is proposing to construct a new transmission line that would pass through the Backcountry Wilderness Area and end at the Daniels Park Substation, which sits east of Monarch Boulevard and north of Castle Pines Parkway. The line would require a 210-

foot easement from the HRCA. The majority of the new transmission line would be along an existing easement and next to an existing power line in the Backcountry, according to Mark Giebel, director of the Backcountry Wilderness. “There is about a quarter mile or less of power line that will come out of that existing easement and that is what we are talking about,” Giebel said in an email correspondence. “The impact is minimal.” Giebel added that in 2010, Xcel completed a similar type of project in the Backcountry, in which the same type of towers and transmission line were added over a 5-mile span. “The project was completed and we worked closely with Xcel to ensure restoration of the disturbed areas,” Giebel said. “Today, we routinely see wildlife around the towers and under the power lines — the impact of a 5-mile project was minimal.” The overall project, which Xcel calls the Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line, includes 125 miles beginning at the Pawnee Substation near Brush, Colorado — a town northeast of Denver — and ending at the Daniels Park Substation in the Backcountry. The project will cost an estimated $178 million and will cover Arapahoe and Douglas counties, the city of Aurora and the town of Parker.

The Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line is part of Colorado Senate Bill 07-100 portfolio of transmission lines. It is a critical component of the Colorado long-range transmission plan to increase reliability and maintain energy costs, Xcel representatives said at the January HRCA board and delegate meeting. “The project will allow for the interconnection and delivery of new generation resources, including renewable energy to Front Range customers to meet new load growth and improve system reliability,” Xcel’s website says. Xcel first proposed one plan — option A — to the HRCA for the part of the transmission line that would go through the Backcountry. In response, the HRCA asked Xcel to look into other options that would be less impactful, take up less space and be less visible from the Backcountry’s trails, Giebel said. “They responded with options B, C and D which are better options and reduce the footprint from about 25 acres to possibly less than 5 acres,” he said. When voting for or against the project, Highlands Ranch delegates asked that Xcel move forward with only options B, C and D. The energy company agreed. The new structure would look similar to an existing power line that runs

In a meeting, guests will practice giving prepared speeches and brief impromptu presentations, followed by constructive feedback.

The current, galvanized poles are gray; the new weatherized poles would be brown. Xcel has been doing community outreach — talking to stakeholders, property owners, business groups and local governments — since 2013. In April 2015, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission approved a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity application for the project. Construction of the transmission line ending at Daniels Park is scheduled to begin in January 2019.

Meet Chocolate Lisa, creator of the Truffnie Highlands Ranch resident brings passion for food to life BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

The Truffnie: half European truffle, half all-American brownie. Lisa Hemphill thought of the concept 20 years ago while living in Michigan. She came up with the name the following year while living in New Jersey. And it all came to life nearly five years ago while living in Colorado. “I get so excited,” Hemphill, otherwise known as “Chocolate Lisa,” said as she tied a red ribbon around a rosecovered chocolate box. “I absolutely love what I do.” Hemphill, a Highlands Ranch resident, has always been a foodie. She remembers baking tiny cakes for her father in her Easy-Bake Oven as a child. When college rolled around, her parents turned down the idea of Hemphill attending culinary school. So she earned a business degree and went into corporate America, where she stayed for 20 years. But Hemphill never lost sight of her love for food. She attended the Cordon Bleu Institute in Paris and The New School in New York. Having her two children, Max, now 19, and Jacqui, 21, inspired Hemphill to switch gears and focus on her passion, as did her husband’s encouragement. Hemphill’s logo, two wings with the word Truffnies in front, represents her kids. “They complete me,” Hemphill said. “The best thing I have ever done is be a mom.” Her kids, both in college at the University of Colorado-Boulder, help their mother when they can. They visit often and help out on school breaks. During her busy season — from Christmas to Father’s Day — Hemphill spends up to 18 hours a day in her production facility at 8765 E. Orchard Road #701 in Centennial. The giant room has a welcoming store in the front and a visible kitchen with large silver mixers, ovens and refrigerators in the back. Hemphill has a seasonal staff, but one employee has been with the company since it launched. Her name is Becky Webster. “I love the energy here,” said Webster, who graduated from Johnson & Wales University. “I love our specialty product — it’s truly a Colorado product.” The Truffnie comes in 20 flavors, but there are six steady ones: English toffee, salted caramel, turtle, toasted coconut, Italian Espresso and classic original, which is dusted with gold. All flavors are crafted with dark chocolate and all-natural ingredients. Truffnies are baked fresh with no preservatives or wax. “Once you open them, the idea is to eat them,” Hemphill said. “It’s a fresh chocolate, because fresh is the best.” The bite-sized pieces have the

The flavor isn’t overwhelming. “I challenge people who don’t like chocolate or truffles to try one,” Webster said. “It’s light. It’s the perfect blend.” Hemphill has weathered ups and downs in starting her Truffnie business. She had her best month last December, but she’s still working at marketing and growing her brand. “It took me a long time to realize that I am a business woman. It’s a fantastic feeling to finally own it,” she said. “I would like to settle for more.”

Becky Webster, an employee, begins the Truffnie creation process by mixing dark chocolate and butter in a giant silver tub. The all-natural ingredients are then baked and sliced into small squares. The Truffnie, half truffle, half brownie, comes in a variety of flavors, including English toffee, salted caramel, turtle, Italian espresso and the classic original dusted with gold.

Hawks for Haiti connects students to impoverished nation SkyView Academy raises money for orphaned and abandoned youth in Haiti BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Lauren Meighan started volunteering at the Vertile Foundation — a home for orphaned and abandoned youth in Carrefour, Haiti — in 2010 following the disastrous earthquake that displaced about 1.5 million people. She has been visiting once or twice a year ever since. This year, Meighan, an eighth-grade teacher at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, gets to combine two of her passions: her SkyView students and the 22 children of the Vertile Foundation. From Jan. 23-27, middle school students are raising money for the Vertile Foundation. Rather than calling it a spirit week, SkyView staff have titled it Hawks for Haiti after the school’s mascot. “I’ve wanted to do something in my school community and connect it to my Haiti community,” said Meighan, 28, who was recently elected as the Vertile Foundation board president. Meighan first heard about the Vertile Foundation from its founder, Rico Changeux, who she also calls a good friend. The two met in Boulder

Lauren Meighan visits Haiti once a year to work with children ages 3 to 18 years old.

couldn’t always be helped.” Changeux grew up in the eightbedroom home that is now the Vertile Foundation, named after his mother. “She was a strong and resilient person like my people in Haiti,” Changeux said, “and she, too, loved kids.” SkyView’s middle school principal,

Janet Worley, brainstormed Hawks for Haiti as a way for students to serve individuals outside of their school. Service learning is one of SkyView’s five pillars of foundation. The other pillars are core knowledge, classical college prep, character education and world languages. “This project allows us to follow up and see change,” Worley said. “My hope is that when students see the change, it will inspire them to make changes in their communities.” As part of the Hawks for Haiti kick-off assembly, Meighan showed a video of the Vertile house and its residents, who are 3 to 18 years old. For them, the basic needs of life haven’t been easily achievable. Some of the children were dropped off or abandoned by a parent; social services referred others. “They really appreciate getting to eat and going to school,” Meighan said. SkyView middle school students set a goal to raise $60 each for a total of $20,000. That amount will pay for two years of education for each child of the Vertile Foundation. The Vertile house is not a permanent destination for its children, Meighan said. The goal is to prepare them for future opportunities, such as a career. “We hope to help them get jobs that will make them happy,” Meighan said, “provide them with a reasonable path.”

leged criminal activities. The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has previously put that money toward Y.E.S.S. — a program operated by the Sheriff ’s Office, neighboring law enforcement agencies and schools, which teaches students about teen relationships, internet safety and substance abuse.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock has donated $25,000 from money confiscated in drug deals and other organized crimes to a Douglas County School District program that combats teen suicide and bullying. Sources of Strength, which seeks to prevent suicide, violence, bullying and substance abuse by training peers to know warning signs and connect at-risk friends to resources, operates in 12 district schools. “What we see when our Spurlock schools adopt Sources of Strength,” said Staci McCormack, the district’s prevention and school culture coordinator, “is we all become much better at preventing suicide, acts of school violence, bullying and substance abuse.” McCormack called the donation “super-exciting,” saying it will help the district expand the program in the district. State law allows law enforcement agencies to once a year gift to community programs up to $25,000 from their asset forfeiture funds, meaning money that has been seized from al-

Emerging issue But suicide prevention has emerged as a key issue among youth. Approximately two years ago, the Douglas County Youth Initiative, a group that coordinates youth services and asseses youths’ needs, began looking for ways to prevent teen suicide, said Marsha Alston, the initiative’s youth service program manager. The program’s 2015 Youth Congress, an annual event where area students bring their tops concerns to local officials, also targeted suicide prevention, Alston said. When the Youth Initiative learned that some Douglas County schools used Sources of Strength, it connected the program with the Sheriff ’s Office. So the initiative wrote a grant proposal. A panel consisting of the sheriff, a county commissioner and the district attorney chose Sources of Strength from among 6 applications. “One life lost to suicide is too many,” Spurlock said in a written statement. “If I could contribute any amount of money to suicide prevention and only one life be saved, it is worth the money.”

Stolen puppy found, suspect arrested One of two people arrested in Lakewood on shoplifting charge was carrying dog BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 2-pound Papillon puppy stolen from Perfect Pets in Centennial was found two weeks later and returned to the pet shop. “We got the puppy back last night,” Jens Larsen, owner of Perfect Pets, said the morning of Jan. 18. “The puppy was a little rough, but she was OK. Now, let’s get her adopted and out to a good home.” The puppy, worth $1,300, was stolen from Perfect Pets mid-day on Jan. 3 by a man and a woman in their 20s, authorities said. The Lakewood Police Department recovered the puppy at 6 p.m. Jan. 17 after being called for a shoplifting case in the Kohl’s store at 3150 S. Wadsworth Blvd.

According to an Arapahoe County Sherriff ’s Office news release, one of the two shoplifting suspects had the dog in her possession. A scan of the dog’s microchip confirmed it was the missing animal. The Kohl’s loss-prevention officer recognized the dog from a news story he saw days earlier. Sikich Police say the woman found with the dog is Sondra Sikich, 26. The man with her is believed to be a different person than the man who was on the security footage taken at Perfect Pets, said Steve Davis, Lakewood Police Department’s public information officer. The suspects arrived at the store in a white Ford truck, which was later identified as a vehicle stolen from Aurora, Davis said. “They definitely involved several jurisdictions in their brief, but fruitless crime spree.” Both suspects were arrested by Lakewood police on charges related to shoplifting and a stolen vehicle.

Building in Lone Tree will house Eagle Academy alternative program BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 200 residents of a Lone Tree neighborhood have raised objections to the Douglas County School District’s approval of the purchase of a nearby building that will serve as home to the district’s evening high school program. A number of residents of the upscale Heritage Hills community, which backs up to the property at 9350 Teddy Lane, came to the Jan. 17 board of education meeting to voice their concerns. The vacant building that previously was a bank will be home to the district’s Eagle Academy, which has an enrollment of about 270 students. Karen Short, a 16-year resident of the area, said having the school move in worries her. “I am a neighbor to Teddy Lane,” she said. “The distance from the door to my backyard is less than the distance between home plate and first base on a baseball field — distance that can be traveled in 10 seconds,” Short said. “A night alternative high school, 81 feet from my residence, is completely and totally unacceptable.” But interim Superintendent Erin Kane said the school and its students would not be disruptive to the community. “I have read all the letters, I’ve heard all the feedback from Heritage Hills and I see the concerned residents here tonight,” Kane said. “I want to commit to them that we will bend over backward to work together to be good neighbors.” Pam Ladnier, president of the Heritage Hills Homeowners Association, said she and her neighbors are concerned about increased traffic and noise from students coming and going in the evenings. “The student lounge will look out into the backyards and homes only 70 feet away,” Ladnier said. Al Talbert, another Heritage Hills resident, also voiced concerns about lack of privacy. “They’ll be able to look into our house four nights a week from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. year-round,” Talbert said. “This is our backyard. This is where we play with our children, play with our dogs, barbecue and have friends and families over.” More than 200 residents have signed a petition against moving the school to the Teddy Lane property, which is south of C-470 and west of I-25. The school board voted 6-1 to purchase the building. Board member

Wendy Vogel voted against the move, citing concerns about funding, other capital needs in the district and the impact on nearby residents. The property is 26,000 square feet and is expected to cost the district $3.95 million to purchase and an estimated $3 million to renovate. Eagle Academy, which has been housed at Highlands Ranch High School, is an afternoon and evening high school program that provides “an alternative path to earning a high school diploma,” according to the district website. The district’s Master Capital Plan identifies the need for $29.3 million for new construction to meet the needs of alternative secondary school students. Eagle Academy’s current location at Highlands Ranch High has limited the school’s growth, according to the district. Eagle Academy Principal Jeff Broeker defended his school and students and pledged to be “good neighbors.” “I feel as good neighbors we could mitigate many of those things which were shared this evening in terms of privacy, in terms of our students and their whereabouts and how we will utilizing the facility,” Broeker said. Colby Martell, Eagle Academy’s student body president, spoke to the board about the need for his school to have its own community. “I have truly felt like a visitor,” he said. “I don’t really feel like I belong in that building, because it is Highlands Ranch.” Eagle Academy English teacher Don Hoaglin said the feeling wasn’t limited to the students. “When I first started at Eagle, I came in, had to borrow a room, borrow resources and I felt like a visitor in my own classroom,” Hoaglin said. “If an adult is feeling that, consider this: What is a 16-, 17-, 18- or 19-yearold student feeling as a perpetual visitor? By having our own site, we could do so many good and positive things.” The district said it would work with Heritage Hills residents as it finalizes plans for the building. DCSD’s Bridge North and Child Find programs, which are located in leased properties currently and cost the district $166,000 a year, will also be housed in the new building. Bridge North is an extension of DCSD’s transition services. The program serves students 18-21 years of age with significant support needs in the areas of adult living skills and vocational goals. Child Find is part of the district’s special education program and serves as a resource for families who are residents of Douglas County at no charge. DCSD is expected to begin occupying the building in August, barring any delays or permitting issues.

VOICES

Here are some questions that might make us think just a bit differently WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

here are two old proverbs I would like to share with you this week. The first is this, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.” And the second one is this, “Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” Well since typically I share my opinions way too often in these columns, I thought maybe this week I would shift it up a little bit and ask more questions as opposed to sharing opinions and observations. And is it OK if I ask you to write back and answer or respond to any or all of the questions posed?

The first question I would pose would be around another famous thought shared by many authors and experts, “Seek first to understand and then to be understood.” What has happened to us as a nation as we have endured this past election season and outcome of the election? Have we really forgotten to seek first and then to be understood? The second proverb I quoted above seems to capture this, and unfortunately and rightly so has found us playing the role of the fool and worried more about airing our own opinions than seeking to understand others. Long before the election, leading up to the election, and now post-election, there have

been stories of marriages ending, friendships being destroyed, business partners separating, siblings who have stopped communicating, co-workers refusing to work together or even talk. There has been documented violence that speaks to the first proverb I shared, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.” The questions are just too many to list in a short weekly column, so let’s just start with a few questions, shall we? Is this who we have become? Have we become a society and culture that now relies on the freedom SEE NORTON, P11

What’s good for the Dalai Lama is good for me ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

n December, the Dalai Lama spoke during the Emory-Tibet Symposium of Scholars and Scientists at the Drepung Monastic University in India. According to Atlanta-based Emory University, “the ultimate goal of the symposium is to build a bridge between two complementary systems of knowledge.” Why am I quoting the Emory-Tibet Symposium?

the Dalai Lama said there, in an interview with CNN. Although His Holiness considers America the “leading nation of the free world,” the Dalai Lama also acknowledged that our country is a democracy where the “power is divided.” Yes, ours is a country divided — rather than shared — in which a lot of people are angry, a lot of SEE DORAY, P11

f all the things to be heartbroken about in 2016, the separation and divorce of HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” stars was not one of them. For me. There has always been an interest in the personal lives of well-known people, even if their notoriety is dubious. That why we have autobiographies and biographies. It’s an industry to follow and document personalities. A paparazzi’s photo of a celebrity up to no good can put a lot of money in his pocket. If you have ever wondered where the word “paparazzi” comes from, here it is. Paparazzo was the name of a news photographer in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film La Dolce Vita. Fellini said, “`Paparazzo’ suggests to me a buzzing insect, hovering, darting, stinging.” I have another, unprintable, name for men and women who poke into the private lives of anyone with a telephoto lens. I don’t care how much weight someone has gained or lost, or what they had done to their lips. Others do, and (seem to)

subsist on the ups and downs of the “Bachelors” and the “Bachelorettes.” Why is Johnny Deep’s financial report in the front pages of a Craig Marshall daily? Smith I became aware of an interest in named names for the first time when I heard that Eddie Fisher had his eye on Elizabeth Taylor, when he was still married to Debbie Reynolds. Fisher and Reynolds were supposed to conform, I guess, to an idealized vision of love and marriage. “Stay put,” America said. It impacted Fisher’s career, and many cheered when Taylor hooked up with Richard Burton. It went around my high school that Emily had cheated on Mike with John, while Mike was cheating on Emily with Norm.

DORAY FROM PAGE 10

other people are angry at the people getting angry, and civility seems to be a veneer stretched too thin on both sides to conceal the contempt and derision below. His Holiness had offered some advice for finding equilibrium in any situation: self-compassion. As opposed to self-esteem or self-respect, self-compassion is defined by some scholars as open to and touched by our own troubles, worries or fears, and yet not avoiding them or disconnecting from them. An important piece of self-compassion is to be nonjudgmental about what is causing us pain, even when we mess up or are experiencing some other form of emotional pain. In our divided world, we are beyond judgmental with each other. We are vitriolic in our name-calling, our shaming, our senses of entitlement. We are so certain of our own beliefs that anyone — and I mean anyone — who stands for an opposing viewpoint becomes a target of scorn and hate. The divisions are sharp, wide, deep. No wonder so many of us feel a bit battered, bruised. In the interview, His Holiness said that, basically, “nothing exists as it appears,” and I’m reminded of a graphic I saw of an intersection where a car, a bicycle and a pedestrian appear to be on a collision course. Thought bubbles tell us what’s going on for each. To paraphrase,

NORTON FROM PAGE 10

and accessibility that social media outlets provide to air our own selfish opinions? Have we come to the point where we don’t even form our own opinions or sound judgment because we rely on what we hear or read through the posts of others? Some we know and some we have never met. I mean day in and day out someone invariably shares with me that they have deleted more friends from their Facebook account because they can no longer stand the rhetoric. I wonder if that might be an interesting statistic for Facebook to share, how many people have been unfriended over the past few months? In the continued spirit of asking questions instead of pontificating, when did we stop thinking for ourselves? Now I am not saying that everyone has, but would you agree that there seems to be a lot of jumping on some else’s bandwagon going on? Do you think we should start or maybe just get back to having sound judgment and making our own decisions based on our own true belief systems instead of being held hostage of the belief systems of others? Do you think that if we found our way back to staying true to our belief systems, and if we took the time to listen and seek to understand others first that we may save a

the woman at the wheel of the car is fretting because her child is sick and she had to leave work. The person on the bike is wondering where next month’s rent will come from, and the pedestrian is preoccupied with his own medical problem. They are unaware, of course, of each other’s struggles. Each of us faces our own battles, every day. So this means that everyone else we meet or interact with or email or text or, or, or … is also fighting some sort of battle, that may or may not have anything to do with political divisions. I’m not sure which needs to come first, though, compassion for self or compassion for others, in which we are touched by someone else’s suffering, we are aware of their pain, and we are not judging them. Clearly, neither is easy, or we’d all be fine all the time! It is possible for us in America to “build a bridge between two complementary systems of knowledge”? Can we practice compassion, including self-compassion, for better understanding of the other sides of the divide? For my part, starting this weekend — oh, mercy, starting right now! — I’m going to practice selfcompassion. If it’s good for the Dalai Lama, it is definitely good for me!

SMITH FROM PAGE 10

I realized then that it was human nature to take a vicarious interest in the goings-on of others. Later, as a college art professor, I became the subject of rumors that continue, like a noir film, to follow me out of the past. We are often flawed characters. If we weren’t, where would literature and cinema and songs be? “Your Cheatin’ Heart” was a hit for a reason. Would you go to a film about a couple without conflicts of any kind? Probably not. I know someone who doesn’t seem to know anything that is going on in the world of entertainers outside of entertainment. I don’t know how she does it. She must have bought a filter on Amazon Prime. I have come to the conclusion that

we all need distractions from the important stuff. Otherwise, why would over a million people in a 650,000 population town show up to celebrate a professional football team? I have tried to look at this from both sides. Believe it or not, that’s what I do with just about everything. I am a known humbug when it comes to human excesses. And we excess all over the place. Charles Dickens’ books were serialized. All of them. That means they weren’t published all at once. It was a brilliant idea for its time. Anticipation is an exciting thing. We want to know what is going to happen next to our favorite distractions. The next thing you know, we’re flipping and flopping all over it like the dickens.

few marriages, friendships, working relationships, and heartache? Do you think that there is a certain percentage of the population that simply likes to stir the pot, acting the fool just to start a quarrel? When you think about this for yourself and for your own family and friends, how many times have you changed the channel on the television or logged off of the internet because it was just too much to handle? For me the final question is this, “Is it time for change?” And not the “Hope and Change” of a campaign speech, and not the change that a new president may or may not bring about. I am asking if it’s time to change for us? For you? For me? For all of us? Is it time to be reminded that an unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels? And should we also think about the fact that it is fools finding no pleasure in understanding, but that they delight in airing their own opinions? How about you? How have you or would you respond to the questions above? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can get back to seeking to understand and then to be understood, wouldn’t you agree that it really will be a better than good week?

Legislator aims to protect Colorado’s minorities Salazar working on a bill to challenge federal changes BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During his election campaign, President Donald Trump spoke often about deportation plans for undocumented immigrants and keeping a close eye on the Islamic community. But after Trump’s win in November, police departments in cities like Denver and Aurora said they will not enforce federal immigration laws, and Boulder’s city council unanimously voted to declare itself

a sanctuary city. Now state Rep. Joe Salazar, DThornton, is considering similar legislation for the entire state. “What I’m considering isn’t a sanctuary measure, but rather about protecting the states’ rights,” he said. “I want Colorado to be proactive instead of reactive.” The bill Salazar is proposing is still being fine-tuned, and he doesn’t have a timeline for when it will be introduced. The measure is tentatively called “The Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act” after the late Colorado governor who accepted a Japanese-American internment camp in World War II and spoke in defense of internees. In its current form, the bill would stop state, cities, counties and law

enforcement agencies from providing information about the race, ethnicity, immigration status or religious affiliation of Colorado residents to the federal government for deportation or tracking purposes. Protecting the rights of all

citizens, regardless of their background, has gained renewed importance to many minority communities not just in Colorado, but in the entire country. SEE LEGISLATION, P25

Q&A with state Rep. Joe Salazar

THE BILL In the Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act’s current form, the bill does the following: • Prohibits a state or political subdivision from providing the race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious aﬃliation of a Colorado resident to the federal government for any illegal or unconstitutional purpose;

• Prohibits assisting the federal government or a federal agency in marking or otherwise placing a physical or electronic identiﬁer on a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious aﬃliation;

• Prohibits any assistance to the federal government to create a registry for Colorado residents based on race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious afﬁliation;

• Prohibits aiding or assisting, including using state or local lands or resources, the federal government in interning a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious aﬃliation.

Civilians get a taste of military-style exercise

A Marine Corps veteran carries his rucksack on the Chicago Honor the Fallen Ruck March in 2015. The Memorial Day Weekend event saw 450 people march 22 miles. COURTESY U.S. ARMY

Carrying weighted packs helps mix up fitness routines BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

uby Herrera has brought an aspect of her military training into her fitness regimen. Rucking — carrying a weighted pack — is a trendy exercise with unglamorous roots in the military, where it is a staple of training. Part of the test for U.S. Army infantry soldiers to earn the coveted Expert Infantryman Badge is to complete a 20-kilometer march carrying a 35-pound rucksack, along with other gear, within three hours. “I love using a variety of training to stay conditioned,” said Herrera, a Colorado Springs resident and security forces specialist in the Air Force Reserve. “Rucking is the perfect addition to any type of programming I might be involved with.” Former Army Special Forces soldier Jason McCarthy of Jacksonville, Florida, brought rucking to the masses in 2008 when he founded GORUCK after leaving the service. There are now hundreds of GORUCK events across the U.S. and in Europe, including several in Colorado. However, ruck march challenges go back long before McCarthy started. One of the most popular events is the annual Bataan Memorial Death March, which dates to 1989 and pays homage to U.S. and Filipino prisoners of war who were forced by the Japanese Imperial Army to march 60 to 70 miles with little food or water in 1942, during which thousands died. Sponsored by the New Mexico State University ROTC department and the New Mexico National Guard, the memorial march is held at White Sands Missile Range in southern

New Mexico and gives participants an option of a 14.2-mile route and a 26.2mile one, carrying a 35-pound pack. A cardio-strength workout Now, rucking draws servicemembers, veterans and civilians alike who want to bring diversity to their exercise routines. “It’s portable,” James Finch, of Lakewood, said. “You don’t need a gym.” Finch, 39, started rucking about two years ago as a way to challenge himself. It fits neatly with his other fitness passion, obstacle course racing. “When I take the dogs for a walk, I throw the ruck on,” he said. GORUCK says that rucking can burn as many calories as running, while allowing people of different abilities to do it together by carrying different weights. Finch credits fellow obstacle course racing enthusiast David Tatham with introducing him to it. Tatham, of Henderson, said he began rucking in 2012, when he first signed up for one of the challenges hosted by GORUCK. He has since started his own organization that hosts ruck events around the Front Range, Burden Operation Company. “Anybody can do it,” Tatham said.

RUCKING EVENTS Overhead weighted sit-ups: Hold the pack over your head while doing sit-ups.

GORUCK host its challenges throughout the U.S., with several in Colorado.

Weighted pushups: Strap the pack onto your back and do normal pushups.

Upcoming events: March 3 and 4, Pueblo March 11, Boulder May 5 and 6, Colorado Springs June 2 and 3, Boulder June 30 and July 1, Denver July 28 and 29, Fort Collins Sept. 8 and 9, Colorado Springs

Overhead weighted lunges: Hold the pack over your head while doing lunges. “You can throw on a halfway decent backpack.” Obstacle course racing is another fitness trend with close ties to the armed forces, with military installations, including Colorado’s Fort Carson, hosting events for Spartan Race, the largest entity in the young sport. Aaron Varcasio, who coaches Crossfit and high-intensity interval training workouts at FIT Littleton and has taken part in GORUCK events, said that rucking can be an effective cardio alternative to running as well as a form of strength training. “It challenges you because you’re used to hiking without weight,” he said. Challenging the mind, too Herrera sees rucking as the perfect way to train both mentally and physically. “Rucking has taught me that my body is capable of so much more than my mind had previously restricted me to,” she said. “I can add a ruck to almost any activity and see huge improvements all around. I love the feeling of pure exhaustion after pushing myself to the limit and then stepping over that limit to keep going.” In March 2015, not long after he began

He spent 11 days in the intensive care unit and another 20 in inpatient rehab. He recovered from his stroke to go on to complete in several Spartan Race obstacle course events in 2016. From Finch’s point of view, rucking is easier on his knees and ankles than running and carries a lower risk of injury. Finch used to carry nearly 50 pounds in his ruck, but he’s still working on getting back to form following his stroke. “It makes life easier when you’re doing anything else — you take it off and you’re lighter,” he said. “You feel like you can run 100 mph when you’re done rucking.”

Option puts primary focus on the patient Some doctors are transitioning to concierge health care BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dr. Michael Mignoli recalls spending eight to 15 minutes with patients during exams when he ran his small, primary care practice for 22 years. He admits to having only enough time to treat the biggest issue before moving on to the next patient. Now, he says it is not uncommon for him to spend 1 1/2 hours with a patient during an annual exam at his Lone Tree practice, Vanguard Primary Care. His availability to thoroughly evaluate an individual is the result of his practice’s transition into concierge medicine in October. “When you only have eight to 10 minutes, you figure out the Band-Aid for the biggest thing that is bleeding,” Mignoli said. “In this model you are able to address everything, not only all the problems and all the complaints of a patient, but also take it a step further and do a deeper dive into prevention.” Concierge medicine is a retainer model of medical practice in which patients pay an annual fee to have access to a primary-care practice. “Medicine in the past 40 years has really evolved to the negative,” said Terry Bauer, CEO of Specialdocs Consultants, an Illinois-based company that helps doctors transition into a concierge practice. “Physicians have become almost manufacturers. Concierge medicine gets back to the way medicine and primary care is in-

Dr. Michael Mignoli’s private practice has recently changed from primary care to concierge primary care, a move that he says allows him to focus more on his patients and less on charts and insurance. He says that though he makes less money, he is happier than ever before. STEPHANIE MASON tended — focusing on the patient and their whole personal wellness.” Of the nation’s 275,000 primary care doctors, between 8,000 and 10,000 doctors practice some kind of retainer membership, said Bauer, who has been researching concierge medicine since 1999. From what he has studied, retainer medical practices grow approximately 15 percent a year. Bauer sees the model providing not only preventative care — saving a patient from future health problems — but also quality post-situation care, giving a patient with the care needed to make a full recovery after an event like surgery. “If a doctor has more time and is more satisfied in his or her work, patients will receive better care,” Bauer said. “It is good for the doctor, it is good for the patient and it is good for the United States in terms of cost reduction.” As insurances reimburse less for

medical services, Mignoli said it is becoming less viable to operate an independent primary care practice. Shifting his practice to a concierge model, he said, was the best business move. “Health care is costing more and more,” Mignoli said. “There has been pressure from government and insurance companies and patients to cut costs, and this is how that is being done. One of the consequences of that is that it is impossible to continue a small primary-care practice.” In the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree areas, Mignoli knows of six other concierge medical practices. He believes more small health-care providers will make the switch in years to come. “The number of practices that I know of has increased remarkably over the last 10 years,” he said. “It really is one of the few options for a small primary-care practice to remain

as that kind of practice.” At Mignoli’s practice, an annual fee of $2,100 covers office visits, lab tests, selective vaccinations and a comprehensive wellness exam. He does not accept insurance. Time and access are the most important parts of a concierge practice, Mignoli said. To ensure that he can provide an excess of those components, Mignoli sees far fewer patients than the average practitioner. The average concierge medical practice will see an average of 300 to 600 patients, 20 percent of what average practitioners shuffle through their office, Mignoli said. Patients have Mignoli’s personal cell phone and can contact him after hours and on weekends. He will travel to a hospital or visit a home if a patient cannot make it to his office. “The reason that I did this was that I believe patients deserve to have a deeper level of relationship with their physician,” Mignoli said. “I make less money now than I did before, but I am happier and my patients are happier.” Marie Degennaro, a patient of Mignoli’s for more than 10 years, decided to stay with Mignoli when he made the transition. “He is so caring and so knowledgeable,” Degennaro said. “He always answers my calls — I can always get in to see him. He spends a lot of time with us and answers all my questions, no matter what they are.” Mignoli’s office, located at 9218 Kimmer Drive, Suite 106, sees patients from Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Centennial and Denver. “I feel more like a doctor than I ever have before,” Mignoli said. “I feel like I am doing more patient care as opposed to chart care.”

‘Beauty and the Beast’ brings magic to Parker PACE Center will host musical that has enchanted audiences

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once upon a time, in 1740, a French writer, Gabrielle Suzanne Barbot de Ville, published a story about a beautiful young woman and a man who had been transformed into a beast by an evil fairy … It was based on a folk tale that had been in circulation for about 400 years and has been retold in various versions since the 1700s — more recently by the American Walt Disney Company, which produced an animated film in 1991 and converted it to a hugely successful Broadway musical in 1994, complete with a singing teapot and cabinet ... When Gary Lewis, artistic director of Inspire Creative, the in-house producing company at Parker’s PACE Center, met with the PACE producing manager to choose the season’s musical productions, they were finally able to select “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” after trying for three years to get the rights, Lewis said. And they were right on target for their local audience. Despite the addition of two more performances on Thursday evenings, tickets are “97-98

February concerts will raise money for young musicians Douglas County children will get scholarship funds from two events BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Pines Arts and Cultural Foundation and the Colorado Chamber Orchestra Elementary Instrumental Music will feature two concert nights in February, different, but with a clear connection. Children are learning to experience the joy of making music, and the foundation is raising scholarship funds for some (about 10 percent of Douglas County students) who would not otherwise be able to participate. There are numerous studies out there about the benefits of learning to play an instrument: being part of a group, emotional outlet and brainbuilding included. But, after budget cuts, band and orchestra classes for Douglas County elementary school musicians have only been offered before or after school, at a cost to their families. The Colorado Chamber Orchestra,

conducted by Thomas Blomster, in addition to its regular concert season, has an educational outreach program for these children. It is administered by Debbie DavidsonStanfill, the orchestra’s education director. • Feb. 10: The third annual SAVE the Music Fundraiser-Student Performances will be at 5:30 and 7 p.m. on Feb. 10 at the Castle Pines Community Center, 7404 Yorkshire Drive, Castle Pines.

day jobs, but, as Lewis said, theater is “the passion side of life.” Lewis is an RN by training and has recently “switched to the IT world.” He’s especially fond of the French fairy tale because of its concept of learning to care about people, he said. “It needs to be heard!” Wessell, who lives in Highlands Ranch with his wife, Bethany, and three children, is creative director for a telecom company. He also

contributes to Inspire Creative by managing the company’s website and community outreach. The Beast is one of his dream roles — “it tops them all!” Brienzo, who has married recently, graduated from Legend High School and attended University of Northern Colorado for two years. She is a mortgage loan processor by day for DHI and is finishing up her degree, she says. She is also part of Wands and Wishes, a group that appears at little girls’ birthday parties. “She gets paid to be a princess,” Wessel joked. Both stars speak of auditioning for the upcoming “Hairspray,” at PACE, but Brienzo may have to back off, since she is building a house in Parker. (Auditions are open to the community.) The first rehearsal with a full orchestra was coming up soon after we talked with them on Jan. 10. They have been working with a recorded rehearsal score supplied with the script.

Of course, all theater productions have a location, but in two current very different, area plays, audiences are especially drawn into the site, which plays a distinctive part. And in both, music weaves the storylines together. “The Happiest Song Plays Last” by Quiara Alegria Hudes, a Pulitzer Prize winner, at Curious Theatre in Denver through Feb. 18, is the third — and I think most engaging segment — of “The Elliot Plays.” Theatrical storytelling which started in the last season, follows a young returned Puerto Rican/American veteran, Elliot, portrayed by Thony Mena, who is seeking a way out of wartime nightmares. He’s a Philadelphia city boy, but influenced by familial folklore and music as he finds a path. Activism plays a part in this play, which opens with a traditional band and singers. Elliott is a movie star on location in Jordan. Throughout, he is in contact with his activist cousin Yaz (GerRee Hinshaw), whom we met in the last play, and her story evolves throughout as well. Both storylines are appropriate here and now. The two-part set, designed by Markus Henry, features Yaz’s Philadelphia kitchen and home on one side and a movie set in Jordan on the other, while the musicians, especially luminous Satya Chavez, flow back and forth across the entire front part of the stage. Complex and multi-layered, it all flows well under Chip Walton’s careful direction. “Avenue Q,” playing through Feb. 4 at Town Hall Arts Center in Little-

ton, is a Triple Tony winner (Best Musical, Score, Book) and plays out in front of the apartment street front, cleverly designed by Michael Duran, with operant doors and windows. Its use of large hand puppets, and a few humans, is a unique presentation, requiring some extra skills from the actors/vocalists. Director Robert Wells called veteran choreographer/director Nick Sugar to help with complex moves. (At points, actors are singing and dancing in two voices, with a different puppet on each arm.) Recent college graduate Princeton (Charlie Schmidt and puppet) enters looking for an apartment he can afford and soon meets young teacher Kate Monster (a terrific Carolyn Lohr) who longs to build a school for little monsters — “people of fur.” Other residents include Trekkie Monster, a porn fan (TJ Hogle); Christmas Eve, an Asian therapist (Arlene Rapal), whose wedding attire is noteworthy; her fiance Brian; tough-talking puppet Nicky (Mark Shonsey); and the Bad Idea Bears (Hogle and Leslie Randle, who also plays overbearing Mrs. Thistlethwaite, Kate’s boss.) Gary Coleman, the apartment manager, is played by Anna High, who has filled the role multiple times. This diverse crew of puppets and people lapse into profane language at times, not appropriate for little people, whom you might think are the audience for a show inhabited by puppets.

Ninja Intensity turns obstacles into a workout Gym modeled after TV show opened Dec. 1 in Castle Rock

Jesse Lucero, a coach at Ninja Intensity, tackles an obstacle course called “Thor’s Hammer,” created by fellow coach John Maul.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When 4:15 p.m. on Thursday rolls around at Ninja Intensity, things go from quiet to loud in a matter of minutes. A steady stream of children flow through the door of the Castle Rock gym, their parents in tow, ready for their 4:30 p.m. Ninja Warrior and parkour classes. The gym’s warehouse, with high ceilings and concrete walls, suddenly echoes with the sound of children playing and parents talking. At the front desk is co-owner Brandi Lebsack. She greets children by name, excitedly yelling, “where’s my knuckles,” before the kids throw her a fist bump and run on their way. When 5-year-old Nola Anderson walks in, with pigtail braids and large bows in her hair, Lebsack scoops Anderson up and gives her a big hug. Anderson is a “parkour princess” at the gym, Lebsack said. She can handle any course, fearlessly. Parkour, according to the World Freerunning Parkour Foundation, is in its most basic form the art of moving from point A to point B using different obstacles in your path. At 4:30 p.m., coaches assemble the group for roll call, get the kids stretched and show them their stations for the day’s class. Soon after, children are sprinting, jumping, crawling and climbing over and under Ninja Intensity’s challenges. The fitness center at 158 Caprice Court — owned by Lebsack, her husband Ryan and fellow coach John Maul — is modeled after the television show “American Ninja Warrior.” Athletes, both children and adults,

IF YOU GO NINJA INTENSITY: For more information, visit www.ninjaintensity.com or call 720-515-4395. By October, they were constructing the gym. By November, they were enrolling people in classes. Today, Brandi said, she’s just grateful for their success so far. “The community,” she said, “has been so amazing for us.”.

don’t come to the gym for treadmills, ellipticals trainers or weight machines. Instead, they’re hooked on completing obstacle courses dreamed up by coaches at the gym. There’s the warp wall, which resembles a skateboarding ramp. But rather than skate down, one runs up and attempts to grab either an 8-foothigh or 10-foot-high ledge. On the upper level are “chandeliers” — objects strung from the ceiling with chains. Athletes must swing from one chandelier to the next. The challenges and courses, which are built by Ryan, change almost weekly, coaches said. The staff likes to keep things fresh, and the community seems to respond. Students in their Thursday class are just some of the gym’s nearly 100 clients. Brandi said they started getting calls weeks before the official opening on Dec. 1. “Word of mouth got out,” she said. With an average class size of 12, they had to double classes and overlap times. The weekends are reserved for birthday parties, for which they have bookings through March.

The gym has enlisted the help of six coaches, including “American Ninja Warrior” competitor Lorin Ball, who leads parkour classes. Just like on the show, Ninja Intensity staff teaches students they compete against the course, and not each other. They’re expected to cheer each other on, Brandi said, something parents tell her they appreciate. Anderson’s mother, Danielle, said her children love Ninja Intensity. Her 7-year-old son, Beckett, is also in classes. “It teaches them determination,” Danielle said, “and it’s great for fitness.” Her kids love it so much they make their own obstacle courses at home, she said. Brandi and Ryan opened Ninja Intensity with Maul because of their son’s love for the sport. Their 11-yearold son Kaden is a parkour athlete who’s competed at national competitions. They were previously driving him to classes in Longmont, which got tiresome, Brandi said. Then, Kaden’s coach connected them with Maul, who had a passion for coaching.

Nola Anderson, 5, loves the Ninja Warrior and parkour classes at Ninja Intensity, her mother Danielle said.

Old West feeling at the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering Annual state event offers a cultural counterpoint to Stock Show week BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s not only the stellar performances of cowboy — and cowgirl — poetry and songs that attract folks to the annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering. It’s the people. “I love meeting all the great entertainers,” said Jeff Loker, who sits on the board of directors for the gathering. “They’re a lot of unique people you don’t meet in today’s world.” The 28th annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering took place Jan. 19-22 in Golden. Kicking off the event was a VIP, family reunion style meetand-greet reception on Jan. 19 at the Table Mountain Inn, followed by a special sampler show at Miners Alley Playhouse. The gathering’s many performances took place throughout the weekend at the American Mountaineering Center. People come from all over the metro area and beyond to perform, and to listen. This year’s performers included folks from Canada, Australia and across the western states. Spectators enjoyed an entire weekend filled with stories — in poetry form and song — on horsemanship, cattle drives, campfires and fences, old cowboy hats, ranchers and their wives, neighbors and friends. “A lot of magic comes out of the Colorado Cowboy Gathering,” said cowgirl performer Liz Masterson, a Colorado native. She mentioned this year, everyone was celebrating two marriages that recently occurred among the gathering’s regular performers. R.D. and Barb Melfi, also known as Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, would normally be quite busy this weekend because of the National Western Stock Show in Denver. But because this year is the 100th anniversary of the famous Wild West showman’s death, they have been too busy with Buffalo Bill stuff, Barb Melfi said. And besides, she added, “these are all our friends. We can’t ignore our friends.” The historical aspect of the gather-

Kristyn Harris performs a song in which she yodels at the 2017 Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering on Jan. 19 at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden. Upon finishing the song, Harris, of Texas, took a deep breath and added a comment, joking about the elevation in Colorado.

Reciting a poem about the good ol’ cowboy days, Floyd Beard opens the evening’s performances at the VIP Sampler Show of the 2017 Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering on Jan. 19 at Miners Alley Playhouse. The 28th annual gathering’s main events took place Jan. 20-22 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN ing can date back to at least the 1800s, said Lindsey Calvert of Denver who works as one of the event’s stage managers — a role she’s had for 11 years. Calvert encourages everyone who enjoys western tradition to come and support the performers at the gathering, she said. “The only way this type of event can continue is for people to attend every year,” she said. Linda Matthews of Wheat Ridge attended the VIP event and Saturday performances this year. She especially enjoyed cowgirl performer Kristyn Harris’ yodeling. “It was an expression of pure joy,” Matthews said. Matthews, who has been attending Skip Gorman performs “The Colorado Trail” at the VIP Sampler Show of the 2017 Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering on Jan. 19 at Miners Alley Playhouse. The gathering, which the main events took place Jan. 20-22 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, featured nearly 20 groups or individual artists performing cowboy poetry and songs

the event for 15 years, said he likes that the gathering features a variety of acts, and appreciates that each performer provides a view into traditional Western culture. “I never lived on a ranch,” Matthews said, “so it’s fun to get a little sample of that lifestyle.” Denver is not like New York or some of the other major cities in the U.S., said Fred Powell of Denver, who, along with his wife Dianne, has been attending the gathering since 1995. “Colorado is the west,” he said. “Here we have history. And the gathering is history coming to life.”

Rex Rideout of Conifer loves the old cowboy songs, he said, which he and Mark Gardner perform as a duo act at the gathering. He described it as the music of the first American cowboys. And as with any culture, it’s important to preserve the past, Rideout said. “In this country, we tend to race forward and not look back,” he said. “But some of us save what we can.”

New luxury senior facility opens in Lone Tree Ribbon-cutting celebrates Morning Star Senior Living’s 20th community BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the lobby at the new MorningStar Senior Living at RidgeGate, a single tree statue in the lobby represents the facility being part of the Lone Tree community. STEPHANIE MASON

More than 200 attendees surrounded the statue of a tree — its leaves designed by community members and new residents with the help of an artist — and listened to Ken Jaeger, CEO and founder of MorningStar Senior Living, introduce his newest community, MorningStar Senior Living at RidgeGate. “I am amazed how God honored this from day one,” Jaeger said, standing in the lobby of the new building at the Jan. 11 ribbon-cutting ceremony. “I really believe there is a sense of calling in all our lives to put out arms around the seniors who choose to call this wonderful community their home.” The four-year development and construction of the $56 million senior living center wrapped up early this month. Residents started moving in Jan. 4. Morning Star Senior Living at RidgeGate, 10100 Commons St., is a five-story facility offering independent living, assisted living and memory care. The 265,000-square-foot community includes a restaurant, cafes,

The leaves of the statue were designed by community members and new residents with the help of an artist. art studio, theater, lounge, courtyard, fitness center and a pool. Month-tomonth rent starts at $3,075. “I expected it to be nice, but I am speechless and dumbfounded by how beautiful this facility is,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said. “I really could not have contemplated what a pleasant experience it is to walk through these doors and into this environment… On behalf of the city of Lone Tree, we would like to welcome you.” Jaeger, whose father recently moved into the facility, wants to create a quality living experience for seniors. “We want to be a home and a company where goodness and kindness is the norm, rather than the exception, when it comes to team members loving on our seniors,” Jaeger said.

South metro lawmakers share their views on enforcement of which go against our American and Colorado values and our U.S. and state constitutions,” state Rep. Jeff Bridges, D-Greenwood Village, said. Bridges says media reports stating that Salazar’s measure would make Colorado a “sanctuary state” do a “disservice to Rep. Salazar and his proposal.” But state Sen. Jim Smallwood, R-Parker, has labeled the proposed legislation “alarmist political grandstanding.” “I think it is dangerous, irresponsible and unfair for a city, county or state to create rules that protect illegal immigrants from the proper authorities, and I would oppose any such legislation,” Smallwood said.

Salazar, D-Thornton, has not yet introduced his bill at the Capitol, and for that reason, most area lawmakers interviewed said they would not comment on the measure. Leaders in south metro communities have not followed Boulder’s lead in declaring their municipalities sanctuary cities, but talk of the move took place recently at a public meeting in at least one south suburb. In Englewood, a city council discussion last month addressed the possibility of becoming a sanctuary city after the issue was brought up by a community group. No official action was taken, City Manager Eric Keck said. He said the city supports a position paper by the Colorado Association of Police

Chiefs stating that immigration law is a federal responsibility and it is not the role of local police departments to assist with deportation efforts. Shortly after Donald Trump’s election in November, Denver and Aurora police announced they would not begin enforcing federal immigration laws. Cmdr. Trent Cooper, spokesman for Littleton Police Department, said his department is not empowered to enforce federal law. “We take enforcement action based on violations of state or municipal law, regardless of a person’s immigration status,” he said. “All are treated equally in that respect, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.”

Dominick Moreno, Speaker of the House Crisanta Duran, Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, Rep. Dan Pabon and Rep. Donald Valdez — released a statement about the importance of protection. “Nationally, over 900 suspected hate incidents have been reported, including several in our state,” the statement said. “Many people are also worried about potential changes that would impact

people of color, immigrants, Muslims, women, members of the LGBTQ community and the environment.” The statement ends with a pledge that “Colorado does not endorse hate. We will do everything we can to protect the rights of all of our residents and to defend against any efforts that seek to harm our communities.” The sentiments are echoed by area

organizations like the Golden Relief Group, an advocacy group for refugees and immigrants. “It’s about the basic feeling of our common humanity,” said Golden resident Judy Denison, a leader in the group. “If we’re not going to be good to the poor and huddled masses, we might as well tear down the Statue of Liberty.”

STAFF REPORT

While most south metro area lawmakers are holding off on comment on state Rep. Joe Salazar’s pending bill that would, among other things, protect Colorado’s undocumented immigrants from federal law enforcement, some are already lining up in support or opposition. “The Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act is about states’ rights and ensuring that Colorado law enforcement officers do not have to assist any federal program that would set up a registry for Muslims, create internment camps, or attempt to identify individuals by their race, religion, nationality, or color of their skin—all

Castle Rock group joins Women’s March on Denver Dory Pinkham looks over the Women’s March crowd from the Capitol steps on Jan. 21.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sue Zloth of Castle Pines attended the Women’s March on Denver side-by-side with her wife, Sue Fraley. The couple married in 2015 after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. They’ve been together for 27 years. “I feel like we’re supporting the positive values that have been in place from our leadership in this country,” Fraley said, referring to policies largely implemented during the Obama administration. The women, who are members of the Castle Rock Unitarian Universalist Community, protested among crowds that far surpassed anticipated levels — reportedly, more than 100,000 people. Joining them Jan. 21 were other members of Castle Rock’s Unitarian Universalist Community, and more than 100 Unitarian members from throughout the Denver metro area. They gathered on the steps of the Capitol for a day of protest. For four Castle Rock Unitarians, the day started at Lincoln Station in Lone Tree. Bob and Dory Pinkham, along with Fraley and Zloth, traveled by light rail to the march. Unitarianism draws from principles in several religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, allowing people to choose their own spiritual paths, they said. The church also follows seven core principles — the first being a belief in every person’s “inherent worth and dignity” — which they said aligned

JESSICA GIBBS

with the march’s mission. They congregated at 6:45 a.m. and boarded the 7:18 a.m. train, piling in alongside dozens of other marchers destined for downtown. Excitedly, passengers cheered as more Women’s March protesters boarded the train for several stops to come. At Union Station, the four friends took to the streets with a flood of other people. They hopped on the free MallRide bus and soon enough arrived at their group’s meeting place on the Capitol steps. By 9 a.m., the crowd advanced toward the march’s route, joining the sea of people before them. They didn’t do much marching, however. The volume of people created a gridlock throughout Civic Center Park. So for more than two hours, the Unitarian group stood in protest, only gradually inching their way forward throughout the morning. But they were proud to be there.

There wasn’t one particular issue that inspired the Castle Rock Unitarians to participate. Women’s rights were one, but so were LGBTQ rights, minority rights, environmental issues and in general, they said, human rights. Above all, they wanted one thing to be clear. “This is not an anti-Trump march,” Zloth said, along with others in her group. Gary Wyngarden of Sedalia agreed. Although he wasn’t happy with the election’s outcome, he said, President Donald Trump won fairly. Wyngarden favored Bernie Sanders early in the race and then put his support behind Hillary Clinton as the field narrowed. For the future, he’s looking to Elizabeth Warren. But on Saturday, he marched in response to the president’s comments on women and minorities. “This march is to say, `Not so fast, mister,’ ” Wyngarden said. Zloth said their protest was directed

toward where they fear the new administration will lead the country. “There’s a concern that values might be shifting away from the strong support that women have had, that underserved communities have had,” Zloth said. Cath Wyngarden, Gary’s wife and co-founder of the Castle Rock Unitarian Universalist Community, said the march was about hope. She saw a diverse crowd, that day. Around her were young and old, men and women, and different ethnicities, all gathered for a common goal. Cath said despite the divisiveness of Trump’s presidency, she hopes people will come together stronger than ever. Zloth said she hadn’t known what to expect about participating in the event. But the crowd turnout impressed her. Above her wavered signs wielding a diverse set of messages. Many supported equal pay, women’s reproductive rights and calls to shatter the glass ceiling. Others nodded to the rights of racial and religious minorities. “I imagine a lot of these signs are very similar to what people held 50 years ago,” Cath said. “That’s the sad thing.” And although she said many of those issues have seen progress, she hoped the country wouldn’t lose that in the years moving forward. Zloth described being with so many different people as empowering. And ultimately, she said, it gave her hope. “To show,” Zloth said, “the things that we value are not going to die.”

Valor’s Jake Murphy puts pressure on Standley Lake’s Jarrod Ott during their 170-pound weight class bout as the two teams wrestled a dual match during the Jan. 21 Jaguar Invitational Dual Match Wrestling Tournament at Rock Canyon High School.

Valor wins wrestling tournament Rock Canyon fourth at 10-team competition BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian earned top honors and Rock Canyon took fourth place in the team standings at the Jan. 21 Jaguar Invitational Dual Match Wrestling Tournament. More than 100 athletes wrestled in the day-long tournament at Rock Canyon High School. The tournament was run on a dualmatch, pool format, with each team wrestling four opponents in pool competition. The teams were then seeded according to pool records. Valor had three wins and a tie in pool matches to earn a spot against Eaglecrest in

the placement match for the meet championship. The Eagles gave up 24 points in forfeits at four weights but won seven of the remaining 10 matches to win the team tournament title, 37-36. Rock Canyon finished pool matches with a 3-1 record to earn a match with Fossil Ridge in the placement match to determine third place. Fossil Ridge won the bout, 52-22, so the Jaguars finished fourth. Valor coach Tim Welch said hard work by the wrestlers has resulted in the development of a strong program. “This is my fourth year as coach and the progress is amazing,” he said. “The first year I was the coach, one wrestler qualified for state. This year, we have a number of wrestlers with the skills to advance to the state tournament.” He said one plus is the youth pro-

gram. “We have parents and couple assistants working with our elementary and middle school wrestlers,” he said. “There is a rookie program for beginners and an experienced program for those who have been with us a while. It is a great feeder program and we are beginning to see the fruits of it.” Rock Canyon coach Martin Castro said the Jaguars are coming along strong thanks in part to its youth program. “We are a young team, we are 20 strong and doing pretty well so far this season,” the coach said. “This year we have 47 kids in youth wrestling in one middle school and 30 kids in another youth program.” The coach said the individual leaders are Andrew Castro, who is 23-8 at 120 pounds and Connor Smith, also 23-8 at 138 pounds.

Jana Van Gytenbeek, basketball, freshman, Cherry Creek: The Bruins’ guard connected on seven 3-point shots and finished with 31 points in Creek’s 70-55 loss to top-ranked Grandview on Jan. 21.

hen Ashley Zoerner said that she started riding her bike without training wheels when she was 3, I figured she must be a pretty good cyclist. And for a change, I was right. Zoerner, a senior OVERTIME at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, won the Junior Women’s 17-18 Cyclocross National Championship, held Jan. 3-8 in Hartford, Connecticut. It took Zoerner 39 minutes, 43 seconds Jim Benton to finish on the course covered with snow, ice and ruts. She was seventh overall in the Women’s U23 division and earned a spot in the 2017 Bieles UCI Cyclocross World Championships Jan. 28 and 29 in Bieles, Luxembourg. Cyclocross is an off-road event in which riders can encounter grass, dirt, mud, gravel, sand, hills and sometimes snow. Courses include barriers no more than 18 inches tall and cyclists often put their bikes on their shoulders to get over barriers and through thick mud. “The toughest part of a race is when I have to do a lot of running,” Zoerner said. “We usually have to get off our bikes and run over barriers. Anything you can’t ride over, you have to get off your bike.” Zoerner, who plans to go to college next year and hopes to get on professional teams for both road cycling and cyclocross, has her sights set on a good finish in the world championships. “I hope to be competitive, ideally in the top 20,” she said. “This is my first year and I’m one of the youngest girls competing in the category. I just want to have a good race and see if I can compete on the international level.”

Drawing attention It’s sometimes hard to get attention while playing on a basketball team that is struggling. Littleton’s Sam Kail and Garrett Martin of Standley Lake are two of those under-publicized players — but they haven’t been overlooked by opposing defenses. Kail, a 5-foot-10 senior, is scoring 18.6 points a game for the 1-12 Lions. Coach Ryan Fletcher points out that Kail is the focus for opposing defenses and he’s had to work hard for shots and been forced to shoot from farther out this season. Still, he has scored 20 or more points in seven games. Martin, a 6-foot junior, is scoring 19.5 points per game for the 2-13 Gators.

Few pools available for schools Many teams in metro area must head off campus to practice and compete BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Athletes like Kiara Jasunas and Holley Dennis sometimes feel they have been left high and dry as high school swimmers. There are 29 girls swimming teams in the north, south and west metro areas covered by Colorado Community Media, but only four teams — three in the Littleton Public Schools District and Cherry Creek High School — have swimming pools on campus. That makes it inconvenient for swimmers, who must practice at outside facilities. Money is spent on rent and the workout sessions are often at inconvenient times. “I’m used to having to rush to practices or rush to try to make a meet,” said Jasunas, a junior at Mountain Vista in Highlands Ranch. “We have to leave class early to make a meet, whereas if we had a pool, we could have extra time in our classes. I drive myself, but usually we have big car pools going and take whoever we can grab.” Dennis is a Mountain Vista freshman who isn’t old enough to drive. “It’s really hard because my mom can’t take me to the 3:15 practices,” Dennis said. “So I have another parent that takes me and a couple other girls to practice because my mom has to work until 4.” Swimming isn’t the only sport that has to search for places outside the school grounds to practice and play. Hockey, golf and some gymnastics teams face the same problems. Coaches and athletes are quick to list the disadvantages of not having a pool in the building, starting with the times for practices that sometimes interfere with school work, problems with getting enough pool time for both varsity and junior varsity swimmers, and the cost to rent recreation centers for practices and meets. “Not having a pool definitely creates problems because it’s not only all the four (Highlands Ranch) high schools that are fighting over pool space, but there are year-round club teams,” Dennis said. “We have these crazy times where we have to race out of school to get to our 3:15 practice. Some practices are like at 7:30 to 9 at night and we have other things to do, so if we don’t

Heritage swimmers look to their coach for instructions for the next portion of their practice session while many of their teammates wait on the pool deck for their turn to practice. TOM MUNDS get it done before practice we have to stay up even later than 9:30.” A place of their own As schools with pools, Arapahoe, Littleton, Heritage and Cherry Creek can include swimming in the physical education curriculum and can schedule practices before or after school. They also can rent pool time to club teams or other schools to help defray the expense of maintaining a pool. Arapahoe girls and boys swimming coach and physical education teacher Mike Richmond said he gets students from his swimming classes to go out for the team. Some have become good varsity swimmers. “I walk in the pool every day and feel very fortunate to be in a school with a pool,” Richmond said. “No doubt, we get kids to come out for the team. There is networking that goes on about the culture of swimming at our school. There is a lot more support in general.” No one interviewed was comfortable estimating the cost of building a pool at a school or the upkeep costs. But according to USA swimming, the estimated cost to construct a pool is $180 a square foot. Depending on the pool size and the deck, the price tag for a pool could range from $850,000

“Yes we were trying to hold one but got very little response from other schools,” Highlands Ranch Athletic Director Bruce Wright said. The first female tournament that was held in Frederick on Jan. 14 drew 80 girls from 42 schools. Girls interested in competing in the event at Chatfield must be members of their high school teams but they do not have to have been on the team since the

to more than $3 million. This doesn’t include the price for spectator seating, showers, dressing rooms and offices. Estimated operational costs, according to USA Swimming, run from $113,400 a year to $244,440, depending on size. All the schools in the Cherry Creek School District except Overland have pools. Larry Bull, the district’s athletic director, said the pools are beneficial and some of the operational costs are offset by rental agreements. Finding alternatives No schools in Douglas County or Jefferson County have pools in the building. Douglas County District Athletic Director Derek Chaney said the district picks up the cost of rental for its Highlands Ranch and Parker schools and has an agreement that allows the Castle View/Douglas County co-op team to swim at the Castle Rock Community Recreation Center. Chaparral travels to Grandview to practice and Legend rents time from Cherokee Trail for practices. Jefferson County does not offer compensation for the rent of recreation centers, so athletic fees for swimmers are hiked, an additional $100 for example at D’Evelyn, and swimmers

beginning of the season. They need to have had five practices before competing. 200-win milestone Castle View hockey coach Al Quintana earned his 200th career victory in the Sabercats’ 9-0 win over Mullen three games ago on Jan. 13. Quintana coached seven seasons at St. Mary’s, 11 at Bishop Machebeuf and

have fundraising activities during the season to help with expenses. The Veterans Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton is an Adams 12 Five Star Schools facility. It was built with a joint-use agreement with the city. District high school teams have priority over any other users. “The city owned the land, sold it to the district with the understanding that the facility would be leased to the city at a discount rate,” said Legacy High School coach Diana Wiles. “It works very well. A district pool is more practical than a single high school having their own pool.” But some, like Mountain Vista coach Rob Nasser, are left wishing they had access to an on-campus pool. “I think the best answer for everyone (in Douglas County) could very well be a district pool that mirrors VMAC in Thornton, but scheduling at a facility like this could still become problematic,” Nasser said. “However, in my decades in the area, it’s apparent that as poolstarved as we are here, multiple pools at schools wouldn’t go to waste at all. Yes, many programs are doing well, but many of us sure wonder if we aren’t missing out on many additional opportunities by not having pools at our schools.”

the past two at Castle View. The Sabercats are off to a 10-3 start this season, and that has helped boost Quintana’s overall high school coaching record to 202-115-4.

Third-period goals propel Bruins Hard work pushes Cherry Creek past Mountain Vista

Key moments Starting Creek goalie Kyle Englert received a five-minute game misconduct penalty with 3:03 remaining in the second period and Creek skated shorthanded for the first 1:57 of the final period but killed the penalty. Defenseman Garret Glaspy scored at 4:54 to break the scoreless tie. The tally proved to be the game-winner. “The puck was coughed up in the middle, I saw it, stepped up, tried to put it far side and it went of the goalie’s glove,” Glaspy said. “We were determined to come out hard on the penalty kill and try to stop them.”

Cherry Creek’s hockey team donned hard hats in the third period and pulled out a 3-0 Foothills Conference victory over Mountain Vista on Jan. 20 at Family Sports Center in Centennial. Creek, ranked third in the CHSAANow.com poll, scored three goals in the third period and freshman goalie Ryan Romanow, who was inserted into the game because of an ejection late in the second period, was solid in closing the door with several third-period saves. “We’ve had a hard hat the last few years,” Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki said. “One of the things we wanted to do was get to the net and get that dirty goal.

us in games this year. We were down three people from our normal varsity team against Rock Canyon. Two were sick and one has a knee strain. That was a really big win when we can come out and beat a Continental League team missing three people.” Rock Canyon slipped to 0-2 in the league and 3-12 overall after the Ponderosa loss but Mudd remains positive. “At the end of the second quarter, not being able to score was a big difference,” she said. “We came out with a different style to try something new to mix it up and we got a lot of good looks out of that and we got a lot of chances out of turnovers, but I’m a little bit disappointed in our lack of not being able to finish on the offensive side. “We’re young and we’re figuring things out. We’ve got a lot of potential; we just have to find some offense, find some scorers and we’ll keep working hard on defense and see what happens. I have one freshman and four sophomores. We have only two seniors that play. There is a lot of good stuff coming.” Going forward Following a contest against Mountain Vista, Ponderosa hosts a Continental League game Jan. 28 against Castle View. Rock Canyon has a league game at Mountain Vista on Jan. 28.

Douglas County conveys gifted land to Parker Undeveloped space continues legacy of Ray Harvie BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ray Harvie appreciated the value of open spaces, and took refuge at his property in east Parker throughout his life. Harvie wanted to ensure the land would remain wild, just as he enjoyed it. Without an heir to pass the 71-acre property to, Harvie gifted the land to Douglas County in 1996 on the condition it remain permanently undeveloped. “He had nobody to give the land to and he wanted to see it protected forever,” said Cheryl Matthews, director of open space for Douglas County. Now Matthews and her department are passing the gift along to Parker. “We’re really excited to have Parker own it and do something with it for the public,” she said. “It’s really a spectacular piece of property.”

A deer skeleton typifies the wild, untouched atmosphere at the open space recently conveyed to the Town of Parker by Douglas County. Dennis Trapp, program director for the Parks and Recreation Department, says the unique property will only require minor cleanup and installation of a shelter, trail surfaces and portable toilets. TOM SKELLEY After Harvie’s death in 2008, Douglas County took ownership of the property and after years of ironing out details, the county conveyed the hilly, undulating land to the town in January, free of charge. The only stipulations

are that it be named “Ray J. Harvie Park” and that the land remain undeveloped. “It’s permanently protected,” Matthews stressed. “We’re not just giving (Parker) open space that they could do away with.”

The property is currently part of unincorporated Douglas County on the eastern end of Mainstreet near Ave Maria Catholic Parish, but will be zoned and incorporated into the town, according to Dennis Trapp, project

administrator for Parker’s Parks and Recreation Department. Trapp said there is no timetable yet for the annexation, but improvements to the landscape should begin in 2018. Trapp said the acquisition is a windfall for Parker residents, who consistently cite preservation of open space as a priority in citizen surveys. Clean up of dilapidated structures and environmental studies should be minimal, Trapp added, and the only planned construction for the land is the installation of a shade shelter and seasonal portable toilets and surfacing trails. Items on the property now, mostly old farming equipment and a small cottage Harvie stayed in when he visited the property, will probably all be removed, Trapp said. With the exception of the trails and port-a-potties, the land will look much like it did when Harvie first bought it, the way he wanted it to look for future generations. Trapp said preserving the unspoiled property is the town’s way to pay Harvie back. “This is his legacy,” he said.
