Cleaning up after spring snowstorm By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com
The severe spring snowstorm that hit April 15-17 brought about 20 inches of snow to Highlands Ranch. Here’s a look at the impact on area trees: What happened? The snow was heavier than usual — resembling slush — and weighed down many of the community’s trees. Some were irrecoverable; others lost many of their limbs. Following the storm, the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space staff teamed up to address the large number of damaged trees in parks, along parkways, and in open space areas, said Sherry Eppers, community relations manager.
Four incumbents were re-elected to seats on the seven-member Highlands Ranch Metro District board of directors, according to preliminary voting results the night of May 3. Victoria Starkey of the north central region received 937 votes, Nancy Smith of the northeast region received 942 votes and Renee Anderson of the southwest region Anderson received 585 votes. The three incumbents will serve four-year terms. Neal Christensen, who challenged Anderson in the southwest region, received 455 votes. Incumbent Jim Worley of the northwest region ran unopposed for a Smith two-year term and received 943 votes. Starkey is the director of facilities, fleet and emergency Starkey Worley Election continues on Page 4
Following the severe snowstorm April 15-17, the Highlands Ranch Metro District has worked on more than 500 trees and hauled remains to the tree limb recycling site, at 3270 Redstone Park Circle. Photo by Alex DeWind How much damage? The Metro District staff has worked on more than 500 trees since the storm. Ornamental pear, crabapple and pine trees had the most damage, said Eppers. Staff members don’t have the total cost of damage. The staff has been hauling broken limbs to a tree limb-recycling site at the Metro District’s Parks, Recreation & Open Space Service Center, at 3280 Redstone Park Circle.
What’s next? The Metro District offered a free tree limb recycling April 17 through May 1, expanding what was originally a one-day recycling event, Eppers said. Because of the high volume of users and the amount of branches, the Metro District had staff on site.The Metro District plans to rent an Oxford Recycling tub grinder — a mechanical structure used to recycle wood waste — to turn collected limbs into mulch. Redstone Park’s growing tree limb pile is scheduled to be ground on May 4, and residents may take the mulch for free, said Forestry Supervisor Dennis Donovan. Tree cleanup will continue over the next couple of weeks, staff members said. “Trees will be evaluated and replaced as needed,” Donovan said. “We will be putting resources into this project for several months.”

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
PATRICK “A.K.A. MR. FUN” EVANS
Owner of Rocket Fizz, Marine veteran, father What I do I’m constantly playing with soda pop, candy and toys. I’ve owned the Rocket Fizz in Highlands Ranch for 3 1/2 years. My children are 7 and 9 so it’s fun for them. They are my research and development partners. They’ve been intimately involved with the business since they were 3 and 5. I was a corporate accountant for 14 years and in the Marines before that. This is fun for me and my kids.
How I pick my inventory I choose from more than 15,000 items — we have about 3,300 in the store. We have 2,000 kinds of candy, 500 kinds of soda, 120 kinds of soda that are made by Rocket Fizz, 90 kinds of saltwater taffy. All of our nostalgic items are for sale. And the more you buy, the cheaper it is. We sell our bulk candy by the bag, not by the pound. So people can jam in as much as they can for the same price. My customers say … Almost every single day, a customer comes in and says, “Oh my gosh, I haven’t seen this candy since I was little.” We have candy that people don’t see around anymore. It’s my job to access that candy — I’m like Willy Wonka. We like to see families in here. It’s a multigenerational store. There’s something for everyone.

Wendy Hightower, 35 and eight months pregnant, sat on the grass near a small gray and bronze headstone adorned with trinkets of family life — a snow globe from Disney World, a ceramic Easter Ann Macari bunny, shiny pinwheels that spin in a Healey breeze. As she had done almost every day for two years, Wendy talked to her daughter, Madison, an exuberant 2-year-old who had died suddenly from an E. coli infection. Regan Beisenherz-Rouse, 18, exploring the cemetery for photos to shoot for class, noticed as Wendy laid crimson Stargazer lilies — a flower Regan loved — on the ground. She saw the tears on her face. And she felt compelled to walk over. Wendy told her she had lost a child. That these 15 minutes on her way home were her one-on-one prayer time with Madison. That when the baby was born, she wouldn’t be able to visit every day. Regan told Wendy about her passion for photography and dancing with the Littleton High School team. They talked for about 20 minutes, then said goodbye. But Wendy couldn’t stop thinking about Regan, wondering how she spelled her name, turning the conversation over and over in her mind. “I don’t know why I felt so strong about it — I just did,” Wendy says about the encounter. “I didn’t have her last name. I didn’t figure I’d ever see her again.” A week later, Wendy found a Ziploc bag resting on Madison’s grave. Inside was a photograph of her headstone. On the back, these words: “Now, you’ll be able to see her every day. Regan.”
Regan Beisenherz-Rouse, left, meets her namesake, Regan Hightower, for the first time. Courtesy photo Wendy started to cry. And so begins this story about how an act of kindness nearly 17 years ago set in motion a chain of events that spun threads of joy from sorrow. How, sometimes, something as simple as a name can mean everything. And how, maybe, just maybe, unseen forces weave a little magic when it’s most needed. • • • Madison was the third child in Wendy and Dennis Hightower’s family. Soon after her death in August 1997, they decided to reverse Dennis’ vasectomy, performed after Madison’s birth. Healey continues on Page 9

Comeback Trail runners turn out despite snow 5K run and walk raises $60,000 for National Stroke Association By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Snow and cold didn’t stop the runners at the National Stroke Association’s inaugural Comeback Trail 5K at Hudson Gardens & Event Center on May 1. National Stroke Association CEO Robyn More said $60,000 was raised by the event. Matt Wegmann of Denver crossed the finish line first. He works at the Hanger Clinic, a prosthetics and orthotics clinic. “We help a lot of stroke patients,” Wegmann said. “That’s why I’m here.” Stroke survivor Billy Lister was master of ceremonies for the race. Lister said the Comeback Trail is about letting stroke survivors
know they can lead a fulfilling life. The 33-year-old had a stroke when he was 17. Athletics have been an important part of reclaiming his life. He began competing in triathlons, and now he is on the U.S. Paralympic cycling team and hopes to earn a spot competing in the Paralympic Games this summer in Rio de Janeiro following trials in July. He currently trains at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs full time and works as a spokesman for the National Stroke Association. “It was a long journey to get to that point, but a fun one,” he said. Littleton resident and National Stroke Association volunteer Karl Neerhoff said counselors he was matched with by the association helped him return to a normal life after a 2014 stroke. “I just grabbed for those phone calls once a week,” he said, referring to discussions with counselors about his progress.
Jodi’s Race team to honor parents doubly Westminster family to celebrate 60-year wedding anniversary, 10-year cancer milestone Staff report The children of Ruth and Jess Gaytan, of Westminster, have chosen the seventh annual Jodi’s Race for Awareness in Denver’s City Park as the setting for a celebration promising to provide twice the fun. Using the annual race for awareness of ovarian cancer as a platform, Gaytan daughter Debbie Nesbitt is bringing parents, siblings, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren together as a Jodi’s Race team, and to celebrate two major mile-
stones for the Gaytan family: The 60-year anniversary of Ruth and Jess, and Ruth’s 10-year anniversary as an ovarian cancer survivor. Nesbitt was inspired to form a team after learning of the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance and the annual Jodi’s Race from a patient at Aspen Family Care in Highlands Ranch, where Nesbitt is medical assistant. For Nesbitt, putting together a family team to participate in the Cancer Alliance fundraiser was the perfect way to celebrate her parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, which just so happens to fall on the same day as the race, June 11. “We just feel so fortunate that mom’s treatment was successful and are thrilled to expand this year’s celebration to

New accessory motorsport uses are temporarily prohibited
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Until a permitting process is established by Douglas County, new accessory motorsport uses are temporarily prohibited. In the April 26 Douglas County land use meeting, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners adopted a specific definition for accessory motorsport uses that temporarily prohibits establishing new accessory uses in any agricultural or residential zone district. With the adoption of this definition, the board directed staff to create a permitting process for accessory motorsports before Aug. 24. Accessory use is the operation of offhighway vehicles for recreational purposes, where the activity does not require moving more than 50 cubic yards of dirt. This activity would be allowed on lots of at least 4.5 acres, with a residence estab-
lished. This type of activity is personal use only. On Oct. 27, 2015, the board placed temporary regulations on motorsport uses, while directing staff to establish permanent zoning regulations. For the past six months, county zoning staff has sought community input to help create permanent regulations. The commissioners approved the regulations at the April 26 meeting, which now require all private motorsport facilities, on parcels 35-acres or greater in size, to be subject to the Use By Special Review process. Per state law, existing tracks of all sizes that have been legally established are grandfathered in. New regulations only apply to tracks created in the future. New regulations can be viewed at www.douglas.co.us/land/regulationsand-procedures/zoning/zoning-regulations-motorsport-uses-rural-properties/
include Jodi’s Race, and all the other wonderful women who have been touched by ovarian cancer,” Nesbitt said. It was particularly easy to convince her mother to join, Nesbitt said. She’s happy to walk in the race to advocate for awareness and is also looking forward to the pre-race Survivors’ Breakfast, where she’ll collect 10 strands of colorful beads — one for every year of survival — and a goody bag with special gifts. “We are so blessed to still have her in our life,” Nesbitt said of her mother, who turned 78 on May 3. “She’s an inspiration to us all.” Like many women who experience ovarian cancer, Gaytan started feeling ill several months before a doctor accurately identified the problem. Fortunately for Gaytan, 68 years old at the time, the physician she consulted was familiar with ovarian cancer and ordered an ultrasound: The diagnosis of Stage 3 ovarian cancer was followed by surgery and six
months of chemotherapy. Only 45 percent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer live past five years, according to a spokeswoman for the Ovarian Cancer Alliance. Since that time, despite no knowledge of a family history of ovarian cancer, Nesbitt said she and her sisters, Benita and Rose, receive regular checkups. Some common symptoms of ovarian cancer are bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency. An annual gynecological exam does not check for ovarian cancer and there is no specific screening test for it, so being able to recognize the symptoms, leading to early detection, is critical to saving lives. Following the race, the Gaytan family plans to celebrate the way they do every year. “The anniversary lunch downtown is a longstanding tradition for our family,” Nesbitt said.

Healey Continued from Page 2
The doctor warned that conceiving a child would be difficult and recommended artificial insemination. Eight months passed. Nothing. But on Valentine’s Day 1999, after the final insemination, Wendy was pregnant. They knew it was a girl and had chosen Morgan as a name. Like Jordan, then 9, and Colton, 6 — and Madison — all names ending in “n,” it seemed to fit. But meeting Regan changed that. “She really understood . . . and cared enough to come back and take that picture and write that note and leave it for me,” Wendy says. “She just made a huge impression.” The name, after all, ended in “n.” But more than anything, it just felt right. So, on Oct. 7, 1999, Wendy and Dennis named their new daughter Regan and reveled in her blessing. “She brought joy back in the family,” Wendy says. “We were all heartbroken, and she brought that back.” A few weeks passed. Then a neighbor’s son, Pat Lytle, a student at Highlands Ranch High School, and his girlfriend — who knew the story of the name — decided to try to track down Regan during the school’s football game against Littleton High School. They walked over to the Littleton side and asked a cheerleader if she knew a girl named Regan who was on the dance team. “She’s my best friend,” the girl answered. “She’s sitting right there.” The teens approached Regan. “Do you know Wendy Hightower?” For a minute, Regan couldn’t place the name. “Well, she had her baby and she named her after you.” Regan was stunned. “What do you say to that? It was the most lovely thing that had ever happened to me.” A few days after meeting Wendy in the cemetery, Regan — unable to forget Wendy’s sadness or her love and dedication to her daughter — had returned to Madison’s grave with her camera. She developed the film and printed the photograph in the school’s darkroom. She
When she was 18 years old, Regan Beisenherz-Rouse left this photograph on Madison Hightower’s headstone for her mother, Wendy, so that she’d still be able to see her every day. Courtesy photo wrote the note on the back and placed the picture in a Ziploc bag, in case of rain. And then she drove back to the cemetery and left it on the headstone. A week later, she returned. The photograph was gone. “I really just wanted her to be happy . . . to heal,” Regan says. “It was really obvious she was still hurting.” After the football game, Regan visited Wendy at her home and met baby Regan. When Regan graduated later that school year, Wendy and Dennis — and little Regan — came to her graduation party. During the ensuing college years, Wendy and Regan wrote every now and then, but eventually lost touch. Neither, however, forgot the connection. Both believed there was a reason they had met. Maybe God had something to do with it. Maybe, Madison. • • • In February, Wendy and Dennis, now 52 and 56, and their daughter, Regan, 16, traveled from Austin, where they’d moved in 2001, for a volleyball tournament in Denver.
Wendy and Regan Beisenherz-Rouse, now 34, married and pregnant with her first child, had found each other a few years back through Facebook. They’d messaged back and forth, but hadn’t seen each other in person. So they planned lunch at a restaurant in Littleton where the two Regans — referred to by Wendy as “little” Regan and “big” Regan — could finally meet. Little Regan was a bit nervous, wondering if conversation would come easily. It did. “She was super-easy to talk to,” little Regan says. “And super-sweet.” They peppered each other with questions. About little Regan’s volleyball and school and her older brother and sister. About big Regan’s baby due this month, her family, her photography business. “She’s just as wonderful as one of Wendy’s children would be, relaxed and confident in her own skin,” big Regan says. “She was just genuine.” They discovered both had brothers in the music field in Austin. And both of their families are from Texas. They hugged when they left. And as they walked out, little Regan told her mom, “If you had to name me
after somebody, I’m glad you picked her.” Little Regan has no doubt that Madison had something to do with that. “Madison is definitely the reason I’m Regan and not Morgan,” she says. She grew up understanding she had a sister in heaven. Madison was always part of the conversation and little Regan always made sure her presence was remembered. Wendy says, “Anytime anybody would ask me how many kids I had, and I said three” — because explaining Madison’s death made others uncomfortable — “she would always correct me and make sure I would include Madison.” For little Regan, it’s simple: “If Madison hadn’t of passed away, I most likely wouldn’t be here . . . and I can’t imagine what they went through losing her. But it makes me smile just thinking of her.” She also knows this: “Take nothing for granted. Tell the ones you love that you love them because you never know what will happen.” Wendy is certain the name was meant for her daughter. “It was a good feeling, the way it happened,” Wendy says. “I just remember how impactful and purposeful it felt.” Big Regan looks at Wendy and Dennis and little Regan and sees a shining example of how life should be lived, with love and compassion and hope. She’s grateful her instincts pushed her to be a part of their story: “When you come right down to it, you need to do what’s in your heart.” These days, just weeks away from the birth of her first child, big Regan finds profound meaning in all that has happened — and wishes for more goodness in everyday life. “If I could change anything,” she says, “I would change people’s days, just by being kind.” Like she did on a long-ago afternoon in a cemetery when a grieving mother touched her heart.

Big victories require serious effort When you only look at the final scores from any sporting event, whether it’s baseball, basketball, hockey, football, golf, tennis, swimming or any other event, it’s sometimes hard to tell what happened during the game or competition where the winner was ultimately determined. We can look at recent games where the outcome was decided by one run, one basket, one goal, one stroke or one one-hundredth of a second. And then we can look at other final scores where it was an obvious blowout and a huge difference in the final score. Either way, at the end of the day and regardless of the difference in scoring, large or small, someone comes out with a win and someone else walks away with a loss. Now some may argue that it’s not how you win, a win is just a win. And others may say that it doesn’t matter how they lost, it will still go on their record as a loss. I believe we can learn from both the wins and the losses as well as the close games and matches that could have gone either way. Let’s look at the blowouts first. Was one team better prepared than the other? Were they outcoached? Maybe the talent and competencies were far greater and stronger for one opponent compared to the skill levels and ability of the other. Or perhaps, they were just outplayed on that given day. And if we look at the close ones, the events where the win was decided by the slightest of margins, what was the difference
there? Can we say the same things about being prepared, coaching and talent? Can we say that one team or individual showed up and just outplayed the other? Or is it something else? Could that something else be effort? When we look at the Michael Norton schedules for professional athletes it’s easy WINNING to see how a team or WORDS player can maybe lose a little focus or effort when they play so many games and travel so often to different cities. Maybe they can become physically and emotionally drained and the effort suffers from time to time or at least becomes compromised. But what about you and me, the nonprofessional athlete? We work day in and day out, some of us travel often for our job, most of us commute at some level and deal with traffic and other challenges, and others of us are caregivers and have our days filled with chores and tasks that completely consume us. Some days we feel like we have won the battle by a landslide and it was easy, and other days we feel like we just squeaked by with a win. And yes, there are those days where we feel like we got blown out.
The questions we have to ask ourselves are these, “Did I come ready to play today?” “Was I prepared as well as I could have been?” “Is there someone who could help me, maybe a coach or a mentor?” “Are there skills or competencies that I need to develop that could make my job or my role easier and help me to become more effective?” “Did I give it my very best effort?” “What is my competition doing just a little better than I am?” There is an old quote, “Talent without effort breeds mediocrity.” And just like professional athletes or athletes and artists at any level, if we have the skills and talent but don’t bring the effort, we will always be chasing our dreams and goals as we subject ourselves to mediocrity. It’s when we bring that extra effort that we begin to pursue our dreams and goals and stop chasing them. There is a champion in all of us. Some days we win, some days we lose, but it’s the champion’s attitude and effort that makes the difference in determining whether we win or lose. So how about you? Are you bringing that extra effort every day? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we recognize that we control whether we win or lose, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR When actions speak louder than words At the April 19 DCSD board of education meeting, I witnessed the debacle that unfolded (in spite of yeoman’s efforts by directors Lemieux, Ray and Vogel to resolve the issue) over the now infamous March 4 encounter between board directors and high officers Judith Reynolds, Meghann Silverthorn and Ponderosa High School student Grace Davis (organizer of the March 9 teacher turnover student protest). Subsequently, I also reviewed the audio of what clearly was an only thinly veiled attempt by adults Reynolds and Silverthorn during their meeting with Davis to exploit their positions of authority to intimidate this 16-year-old into reconsidering the planned demonstration. Thankfully, and admirably, she remained un-intimidated. Since then, I’ve been trying to find just the right words to express my consternation over this regrettable episode. When one considers the larger constellation of issues beleaguering this district, however, of which this, disturbing as it is, is only emblematic, words indeed seem insufficient to the task. See the following recent headlines regarding just a few of those issues: • “School board members face intimidation probe” • “Voucher program faces new challenges” • “Douglas County School District adds rifles for security staff” • “School district, state agree on repayment” • “ Teacher turnover in Douglas County School District rises above state average” • “Ponderosa High students demand explanation for departing teachers” The list goes on, as those who have followed the longer-term debacle know, and sadly, still seems endless. Clearly, no words are needed. Actions such as these speak — and compellingly so — louder than any words can. Sheldon Potter Highlands Ranch Letters continues on Page 11

World of distraction brings unwanted action I was reading an article about distracted driving when the phone rang. Tattered Cover was calling. The caller said that someone wanted a personalized copy of my book. Just as she was telling me the buyer’s name, Smitty barked because there was someone at the door. But I swear the caller said “Connie.” I thanked her and answered the door. It was the FedEx man. “I have a delivery for Mrs. Calabash.” The phone rang again. “There’s no one here by that name,” I said. The dog was barking, the phone was ringing, and someone who wanted to aerate my yard — “Half off, today only,” he said — was standing next to the FedEx man. I got it all sorted out and went to the Tattered Cover on Santa Fe, and signed one of my books, “To Connie. As Hemingway said, `There is no friend as loyal as a book.’” Later I heard that a woman named Bonnie came in, was handed the book, and said, “Who’s Connie?” Some of us are distracted to death by our
distractions. My little narrative had no such consequences. We found Mrs. Calabash, and I signed another book for Bonnie. It doesn’t always turn out that way with distractions. In 2014, 3,179 Craig Marshall Smith people were killed, and 431,000 were inQUIET in automobiles DESPERATION jured, because of distracted drivers. I see distracted drivers all the time. Mostly someone is on a hand held phone. Texting and driving is illegal in Colorado. So is littering. Both happen anyhow, and probably always will. Smith continues on Page 11

School board president outlines goals When I took on the role of board of education president, I was hopeful for the opportunity to encourage diverse voices in order to address issues within the Douglas County School District. Admittedly, the road is much more difMeghann ficult than I thought. Silverthorn However, I remain resolute in finding GUEST solutions, no matter the obstacles, for one COLUMN reason: Our students deserve the best education to prepare them for tomorrow. Our country’s future depends on them. We, the adults, must be an example to them. I know that our community, within
the school district and at large, is tired of the fighting and the negativity. It is an understatement to say the staff suffers under the tensions. They live and breathe the fallout. Dissatisfaction is high, students are protesting, and the amount of bickering is untenable. We must work for students and put aside political maneuvering. In ensuring our focus on moving forward, I want to express my goals to the community and follow up on my conversations with many concerned teachers, principals, students, and parents. • Time, money, and resources must be invested into the classrooms with students as the priority. • Guarantee that principals receive support that they need in their schools, with the autonomy to be able to evaluate their staff whom they observe every day. • Improve the culture of the school district so that principals, teachers, and staff believe that they are appreciated and
valued as professionals, and parents and students are respectful of those tasked with instructing students. • Seek ways to curtail the time spent on endeavors that take time away from classroom instruction, and trust teachers and principals who can best determine academic measures of success at their schools. • Inspire parents to invest in their students’ education through partnership with teachers to ensure the greatest classroom and academic impact. • Build upon our relationship with the community so that they expand their understanding of the exemplary education that we offer, and the need to maintain excellence. These goals will require a Douglas County Board of Education that wants to put the benefit of our students first. It is important that the board focuses on removing the obstructions to student progress and attracting and retaining staff to foster
academic achievement. Our teachers’ and principals’ work should be respected, while we work to facilitate a system where parents and teachers work together to provide the best education for kids. Unquestionably, the work ahead will need the engagement and support from our entire community. We must have honest, yet productive, conversations. I believe it can be done if we are willing and resolved to do so. I want to thank those individuals who have openly discussed these issues with me and entrusted me to find solutions. I will do my best to represent your concerns. I value our community’s commitment to education, and your contributions toward making the Douglas County School District the best it can be. Meghann Silverthorn is the president of the Douglas County School Board and a Parker resident.
Steps to follow when it’s time to downsize Many Douglas County residents have lived in the community for more than 20 years. They moved here when their families were young, sent their children to the excellent schools here in Douglas County and have enjoyed the wonderful youth sporting activities and community recreation centers. And they have remained in Douglas County because their home was big enough for hosting large family holiday celebrations. But there comes a time when we (yes, I am one of you!) look at 20-plus years of accumulated “stuff” and realize it’s time to downsize to a more manageable-sized home. And the task of downsizing seems so daunting that we further delay the move and keep accumulating even more “stuff.” But moving should leave you overjoyed, not overwhelmed! The first step is to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and future needs. Do research and consider such factors as your interests, health, financial situation, location of your family and friends and how you envision your future. Then narrow your decision down to several options that will suit your

You can move into an independent WELL living unit, but as your needs change you can remain in the same community and simply move to assisted living or skilled care. Many CCRCs now also have memory care units. The second step is to communicate your options with your family and friends, not to get their feedback but to inform them of what you are considering. See if they have any questions or concerns. Make it clear

the security officer’s space, retrieve an assault rifle and sprint back into the school before she can count to 30 at two counts per second, which is about the rate of fire of an assault rifle. She should also ask the slowest security officer in the district to sprint toward a classroom while she is also counting to 30. Mr. Payne would save no lives while the other security officer would minimize the loss of student lives by risking his or her own life with a much faster response time. Ms. Fagen, do the math.

Math on rifles doesn’t add up If Benjamin Franklin were alive today, he would tell Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen that a pistol in the hand is worth a dozen assault rifles locked in the trunk of a car. She just had the wool pulled over her eyes by Rich Payne, director of school safety for the district. Ms. Fagen should ask Mr. Payne to sprint from the security desk of any school in the district to a car parked in

Texting and driving isn’t much different than drinking and driving. I have seen drivers slow down and speed up, change lanes without signaling, and weave in their lanes. Texting or drunk? Maybe both. The National Traffic Highway Safety Administration reported 9,967 people were killed in the United States in alcohol-related crashes in 2014. I hear the same excuses from texters and drunks. “I need to change my behavior.” Maybe tomorrow. If you have been around the block like I have, you have heard the word “yet.” “I haven’t caused an accident.” Yet. There have been some real pips. One that stands out didn’t involve automobiles. It was the 2008 Chatsworth, California, train collision. A Union Pacific freight train and a Metrolink commuter train collided headon. The Metrolink’s train engineer was texting, and missed a signal. There were 25 deaths. We are warned all of the time, every-
where we go. “Don’t do this.” “Don’t do that.” There are warnings on just about everything. Kids were eating those laundry detergent pods. They now come with a warning. Many of us ignore warnings. Then you get a call from the police, and in the next 20 seconds your life changes forever. “Your daughter ...” We tend to seek our own levels of behavior, no matter what. Tomorrow or the next day, a friend or a celebrity will overdose. We all know better, but we just keep doing what we do. We keep doing what we do, and hope that we get lucky and stay lucky. In Minnesota in February, a suspected distracted driver’s car went airborne and landed on a 22-year-old woman’s car. Megan Goeltz, 22, was killed. She was raising a 3-year-old on her own, and working at a nursing home. How many lives were affected? The curb weight of my Subaru is about 3,800 pounds. I don’t know the math. What is 3,800 pounds times 65 mph? Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net
that this is your decision and you have reached it after careful deliberation. In some cases, a move can be more emotional for the adult children than it is for their parents! The third step is to surround yourself with qualified professionals who are familiar with downsizing moves. A real-estate agent who specializes in working with mature adults will have all the best-qualified professionals at their fingertips to help you. An agent with the Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHP) designation is a good example. Due to the rigorous requirement of 25 continuing-education courses in senior-related topics each year there are only 130 CSHPs in the entire United States. A real-estate broker can refer you to a senior placement specialist who is very knowledgeable about the various adult living communities in the area and will help you decide the best community option for you if that is the direction you choose to go. The fourth step is to thin out all that extra “stuff”. This is the step that most
people find extremely daunting. Depending on your timetable it is recommended you take one room in a specified time…week or month. You only need to focus on what you need and want to take with you…senior move managers will take care of the rest! They know experienced estate sales companies who will maximize the value of what you do not want to take with you. Or you can donate items to your favorite charity. Step 5 is to adjust to your new lifestyle after your move. Don’t ignore your emotional well-being which may have been overlooked in the hustle and bustle of the move. It is normal to experience some emotions that you had not expected, but it happens in all important life transitions. A well thought out plan and open communication goes a long way in easing you into your new home and community. Realtor Lee A. McCue is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist based in Centennial.

CAMPING TIPS
A
In Colorado, with its unexpected and extreme weather patterns, the best thing campers can do is be prepared, said the camping team of Brittany Bossardt, Ryan Weber and Felicia Baca from Cabela’s outdoor sports and outfitter in Thornton.
few years ago, Jeff Fujiki, 34, was introduced to a 26-foot recreational vehicle — it was almost love at first sight. “I wouldn’t be into camping without my wife’s grandparents,” he said of the couple who sold him his RV. “But I have to say, buying a camper was the best thing I ever did.” Camping is nature’s way of telling people to relax, recharge their batteries and forget about the complexity of the world for a while. And residents and travelers from across the world trek to the Front Range and the state’s national forests to backpack, pitch a tent or park an RV up against the scenic rivers, creeks and canyons of the Rocky Mountains. Camp continues on Page 13
Their checklist includes: • Know the area where you are camping and its do’s and don’ts • Have maps with you • Familiarize yourself with fire restrictions and wildlife activity • Look up the weather but always pack for the opposite, just in case. “We always plan for fun,” the trio said in an email, “but always be prepared for things to go wrong.”

“It’s a magical world, like ‘Lord of the Rings’ style — scorned earth that’s black and rocky, but once you get into it, it’s green, lush and beautiful,” said Jesse Greaves Smith, adventure executive with Golden’s Colorado Adventure Point, an education facility owned by the Boy Scouts of America Denver Area Council. So sit back and roast a marshmallow over the fire. Dispersed car camping This form of camping, often referred to as tent camping, is where one drives to a campsite, campground or national forest to camp. In Colorado, national forests and campgrounds are popular for this style of camping, said Stephanie Fritz, a mom and avid camper. For her and her family of five, taking a two- to threenight trip into the mountains is their escape. Each summer, they take several camping trips to various spots around the state, such as Estes Park, Nederland, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Idaho Springs and Fairplay areas. “We like to sort of not be around people, that feeling of being in nowhere,” said Fritz, of Arvada. “Everybody has a part — there’s packing, unpacking, learning how to pop up a tent, cooking and cleaning … When you’re out in a national forest it’s a different skill set.” For those starting out, she advises taking time to plan each trip: Pick out an ideal location as well as a backup option, research fire restrictions and drought concerns, make sure you have necessary equipment and clothing for all types of weather, and plan out meals. “It’s choosing to be homeless for a weekend,” Fritz said, laughing. “It simplifies things because you don’t have all the stuff around you.” Backpacking Others, like Greaves Smith, love to backpack into a wilderness area to camp. Taking with them only necessary supplies, shelter, clothing and food, this style of camping offers adventurers a place to be one with the nature around you. “I like that it’s simple, less stuff to worry about,” he said. “Anything that comes up on the trip you use exactly what you have with you to solve it. And there’s a beautiful simplicity in all of it.” For him, camping provides advantages such as the exposure to nature and an increased awareness for the world. His favorite camping spots in Colorado are along Scott Gomer Creek and Lost Creek, which open from a forest into a scenic valley. “Camping is a way to get to know yourself by getting to know nature — it’s why it helps kids be calmer and better at school when you don’t have the distractions of life,” said Greaves Smith, who also hosts Boy Scouts camping

For this style, planning is its own skill set, he said. Campers should become familiar with the weather and plants around the area, know how to set up a safe campsite, understand the difference between camping in wet and dry seasons, and ensure they leave no trace behind. “It you’re going to hike in the woods, then take care of the environment,” he said. “For me, it’s more meaningful if you are out there taking care of the world than just hiking in the woods lost, essentially.” RV camping “We get to take our home with us,” said Fujiki, who likes to RV camp with his wife around the country. RV camping is popular with those who enjoy the comforts of home and the beauty of nature. Vehicles range in size and amenities, allowing campers to find one that fits their lifestyle and needs. “We still have our bedroom, our hot shower, a kitchen,

and that allows us to save a lot of money,” he said. “It allows us to get out and see the parks, go on weekend trips to do it all and be relatively affordable.” Driving the 26-foot RV to different spots in California, Arizona, Nebraska and his favorite, Colorado, and events such as the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, is one of his favorite and most affordable things to do. Specifically, the family camps for a week every summer at Pueblo Reservoir. Being organized and using a little common sense is the best approach to ensuring a great trip, he said. And in Colorado, he said, there’s nothing better to do. “There is so much to do in Colorado,” Fujiki, of Arvada, said. “There are so many great places to camp whether it’s in an RV or in a tent. There is so much to see … I think everyone should really just get out and explore to see what Colorado has to offer.”

Florida transplant set to judge show Pitchford is oil painter who teaches in Highlands Ranch
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Sidney Ann Pitchford has been a Highlands Ranch resident for a couple of years following a move from Florida and is in the process of establishing connections in her new home’s artistic community. An experienced teacher and painter, she recently conducted one of Heritage Fine Arts Guild’s daylong Saturday workshops at Littleton First Presbyterian Church, where she placed special emphasis on color. She has an unusual
technique for laying out her oil paint palette — with gradations of each color — before she begins to fill in areas on her canvas. She is especially careful about the greens used in a still life or landscape and tries to share that expertise with students. HFAG has invited her to jury its upcoming spring show, opening May 8 at Bemis Library in Littleton — and to exhibit her demonstration painting from the workshop. The exhibit opens with a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. on May 8. Pitchford studied both music and art as she grew up, majoring in fine arts at the University of Evansville and Indiana State University, then migrated from the Midwest to
Florida as a singer/songwriter, performing in showrooms across the country as well as on cruise ships. She next spent time teaching students of all ages and operating an art supply store. When she and her late husband moved to Colorado, she taught the artists who ran the Garage Gallery in Littleton. A move back to Florida was followed by a return to Colorado with a beloved sheepdog as companion in her Highlands Ranch home where she teaches private students. Sidney Ann Pitchford can be contacted at sidsart@aol.com. The Bemis Heritage Fine Arts Guild show opens May 8 at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Bemis St., Littleton. heritage-guild. com.

Centennial Airport honored for working winter wonders Staff report Centennial Airport was among three Colorado airports to receive a national award for excellence in maintaining operations during rough winter conditions. The airports were recognized with the Balchen/Post award at the annual International Aviation Snow Symposium in Buffalo, New York, on April 27, according to a news release. Also receiving the
the category for large general aviation airports. With more than 300,000 operations each year, the airport is the second busiest general aviation airport in the nation and a 14-time winner of the Balchen/Post award. That’s more than any other airport since the inception of the award, the release states. Centennial Airport typically does not close runways for plowing, but rather, plows in-between take-offs and landings. The airport recently installed a
award were Denver International Airport and Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. The awards are based on criteria for work during the 2015-16 snow season, including: snow-and-ice-control plans; equipment readiness; personnel training; overall safety awareness; timely communication; storm cleanup; and the effectiveness of snow and ice control plans on runways and other surfaces. Centennial Airport was the winner in
new GPS-based vehicle tracking system, adding an extra layer of safety for plow and blower drivers. Denver International was named the winner in the category of large commercial airports with more than 200,000 operations annually. Aspen/Pitkin County Airport was named the winner among small commercial airports with fewer than 100,000 operations annually.

Legend’s story one of change
Rock Canyon senior Trevor Howard was leading the Continental League in hitting with a .605 batting average through 15 games. Photo by Jim Benton
Jaguar has sweet swing Rock Canyon’s Trevor Howard sprinting toward batting title By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon senior Trevor Howard doesn’t jog from left field into the dugout. He sprints. “I always do a sprint,” he said. “I feel like if I get lazy, I’ll get lazy at the plate.” Howard hasn’t been lazy and is having an outstanding season for the Jaguars. The three-year starter who hit .303 last season for the state champion Jaguars was leading the Continental League in hitting with a .605 batting average through 15 games.
He also is among the league and state leaders with a .654 on-base percentage, .860 slugging percentage, 19 runs batted in and 16 runs scored. Howard is a 5-foot-11 preferred walk-on who will be attending Colorado School of Mines in Golden next season, and Rock Canyon coach Tyler Munro believes the Orediggers will be getting a good student and baseball player. “School of Mines lucked out,” said Munro. “He is a three-year starter but he was a very straight-lined type of athlete. This year all of sudden he’s been able to use his hips even on defense. He’s stepped his game up to a completely different level. And he’s a 4.2 student.” A change in his approach elevated his batting average this season.
“The biggest difference for me this year is that I have changed my mental approach,” he said. “In past years I was just thinking way too much up at the plate. I would think about mechanics of the swing, but this year I tried to calm down, clear my mind and just trust myself and stick to an approach.” His intelligence, which helped him gain admission to Colorado Mines, might have hindered his ability at the plate. “It’s kind of a bad thing because I’m always trying to kind of analyze every little thing, especially at the plate,” he explained. “I just have to calm myself down and not really think too much up there.” In a 4-3 eight-inning win over Mountain Vista on April 27, Howard went 2-for-4. He drove in a run
with a triple and started Rock Canyon’s two-run rally in the bottom of the eighth with a one-out single. “If I ever feel something starts to slip I always look out and find a point on the fence,” said Howard. “Against Vista, I looked right at that 370 (sign) and that made me clear my mind and focus myself. I was doing that on just about every at-bat between pitches. That’s part of my routine. Look out there, take some deep breaths.” Howard didn’t think too much about the possibly leading the league in hitting this season. “I honestly had no idea but I definitely felt I was going to improve over my past two years,” said Howard. “Definitely I feel more confident. That’s a big piece to it.”
Eagles swim to second at meet Valor Christian has more athletes on the team this year By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The gently falling snow outside was a marked contrast to the heated completion indoors among athletes from Valor Christian, Lakewood and D’Evelyn taking part in the April 30 triangular swim meet at Carmody Recreation Center pool in Lakewood. Lakewood took first place with 121 points, Valor was second with 108 and D’Evelyn finished third with 90. “We have more athletes on the team this year, which is the third year for Valor swimming,” coach Chris Radic said. “We had 13 on the team last year and this year we have 16 swimmers, plus we have two divers, which is the first time Valor has had divers on the team.” He said his team is balanced, with Eagles continues on Page 22

Kevin Boley has had a busy spring conducting interviews. Boley is the head basketball coach at Legend, but he’s also the athletic director who had to quiz and eventually hire head coaches for football, volleyball and swimming. Monte Thelen, the former Cherokee Trail head coach, was hired in early April to take over the Titans’ football program. Last week, Boley announced that Verlyn Rosenthal will assume the coaching reins of the volleyball program from Katie Winsor to become the second volleyball coach in school history. Another Cherokee Trail coach, boys swimming coach Jim Benton Kipp Meeks, was OVERTIME hired as Legend’s new girls swimming mentor. Rosenthal won three state championships and had a 66-match winning streak while coaching Colorado Springs Christian from 2002-06. He was head coach at Colorado Christian University for five seasons starting in 2010. He assumes the leadership of a Legend program that has made the state tournament the past two seasons and was ranked No. 1 in the state early during the 2015 campaign. However, the Titans will graduate five top players but return Kayleigh Thompson and Katie Turner. “I’m excited,” Rosenthal said. “I love coaching volleyball and this will be a real nice fit. The previous coach did a nice job in building the program and has some nice things in place. We will have to rely on some younger athletes next year.” Meeks is also excited about his new venture at Legend. “The girls program has a great deal of young talent and potential,” he said. “I hope to bring a fun atmosphere and instill a tremendous work ethic to be a successful program competing at the 5A level.” CHSAA issues weather warning Last season’s spring state playoffs were hampered by wet weather, so the Colorado High School Activities Association delivered a message to schools on what can be done when games or matches are postponed despite the forecast for sunny days this week. Dates to complete regular-season competition can’t be changed. When the playoffs start, there is flexibility to play on the next available day, according to the bylaws. Leagues need to make plans on how champions will be declared and the way the order of finish will be determined if some league games or matches can’t be completed. Local tennis player represents U.S. A call last week to talk with Colorado Athletic Club-Inverness club tennis pro Simona Bruetting of Highlands Ranch ended without a conversation. She was unavailable because she was playing tennis in Slovakia to prepare for the International Tennis Federation’s Young Seniors World Team Championships, scheduled May 1-6 in Umag, Croatia. Bruetting is the captain of the fourplayer USA women’s Young Cup team (40 and older). She is the 2015 Indoor Hard Court and Clay Court national champion in Benton continues on Page 22

town April 30 as he competed in the U.S. B T regional swimming and diving meet. Matthew King competed in diving for T the Eagles and finished third with a score h K of 172.70. “I started out competing in gymnastics d and I loved the feel of being up in the air 2 so I felt diving was a natural sport for me,” a the freshman said after the meet. “Diving S is more challenging for me mentally than h physically. That is because in practice I hit M my dives well, but when I get in a meet, I R sort of freak out so I don’t dive as well.” H He said the sport also presents a physi- t cal challenge in that all diving boards are A at least a little different. K “Some boards have textured surfaces d and some don’t,” he said. “Probably more m importantly, every board’s spring is a bit different so you have to adjust to that G board’s characteristics.” H He said practicing and competing with T teammate Fellows is a plus for him. c “Casey is a good diver and he pushes K me to do better as we have friendly com- s petition in practice and in the meets.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 2, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Temper your typical Aries urge to charge into a situation and demand answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s gentler self emerge to deal with a problem that requires delicacy. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are aware of what’s going on, so continue to stand by your earlier decision, no matter how persuasive the counter-arguments might be. Money pressures will soon ease. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By all means, have fun and enjoy your newly expanded social life. But don’t forget that some people are depending on you to keep promises that are very important to them. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You need to wait patiently for an answer to a workplace problem and not push for a decision. Remember: Time is on your side. A financial matter needs closer attention. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can influence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re finding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities that would threaten someone less able to balance his or her priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. Your energy levels are coming right back up to normal -- just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sage Sagittarian should demand a full explanation of inconsistencies that might be cropping up in what had seemed to be a straightforward deal.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A conflict between obligations to family and to the job can create stressful problems. Best advice: Balance your dual priorities so that one doesn’t outweigh the other. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t guess, speculate or gossip about that so-called mystery situation at the workplace. Bide your time. An explanation will be forthcoming very soon. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Boredom might be creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat project. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine and finding a new way to do an old task. BORN THIS WEEK: You can warm the coldest heart with your lyrical voice and bright smile. You find yourself at home, wherever you are. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
